From the International Booker Prizeshortlisted author of What Id Rather Not Think About comes a darkly humorous novel about multigenerational family dynamics and individuality in Dutch suburbia. An unnamed narrator grows up overshadowed by her unconventional mother, an exJehovahs Witness and former television star with an inferiority complex. Her father is the head of a psychiatric institution, whose only form of parenting is to offer his daughter the same life advice he dispenses to his patients. Reserved and somewhat aloof, he chooses not to intervene when his wife obsesses about charisma, calorie counting, and turning their daughter into a child prodigy. Their daughter strives to meet her mothers expectations and bond with her father while secretly worrying she lacks the drive or charisma to do anything significant with her life. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she begins to address their generational trauma, forge a new relationship with her father, and discover life on her terms. In twelve chapters each reflecting a different phase of life Posthuma expertly dissects a fraught family history, exposing the absurdity that often lies at the heart of lifes most poignant and challenging moments.

The first book to explore the distinct personality style of the otrovert someone who lacks the communal impulse and does not fit in with any social group, regardless of its members and to reveal all the advantages of being an otrovert and how otroverts contribute to the world. If you were the kid who never wanted to go to summer camp, if you prefer spending time with friends one- on-one than going to parties, if you would rather forgo your vacation than travel with a tour group, and if you often engage in acts of silent rebellion against group norms and traditions, you are very likely an otrovert. Dr Kaminski has been studying this personality style for over 30 years. He explains that, while otroverts enjoy deep and fulfilling one-on-one relationships, within groups they feel alienated, uncomfortable, and alone. Unlike introverts, who crave solitude and are easily drained by social interactions, otroverts can be quite gregarious and rarely tire from one-on-one socialising. And unlike loners, or people who have been marginalised based on their identity, otroverts are socially embraced and often popular yet are unable to conform with what the group collectively thinks or cares about. And therein lie the great gifts of being an otrovert. When you have no affinity for any particular group, your sense of self-worth is not conditioned on the groups approval. And, best of all, you know no other way to think other than to think for yourself. The Gift of Not Belonging urges otroverts to embrace their unique gifts, and equips them with the knowledge and tools to thrive in a communal world. Autorid: Rami Kaminski
The gripping story of Taiwan, from the flood myths of ancient legend to its Asian Tiger economic miracle and the looming threat of invasion by China. Once dismissed by the Kangxi Emperor as nothing but a ball of mud, Taiwan has a modern GDP larger than that of Sweden, in a land area smaller than Indiana. It is the last surviving enclave of the Republic of China, a lost colony of Japan, and claimed by Beijing as a rogue province merely the latest chapters in its long history as a refuge for pirates, rebels, settlers, and outcasts. In Rebel Island, Jonathan Clements offers a concise and vivid telling of Taiwans complex island story, beginning with the unique conditions of its archaeology before examining its indigenous history and its days as a Dutch and Spanish trading post. He delves into its periods as an independent kingdom, Chinese province, and short-lived republic, and the transformations wrought by 50 years as part of the Japanese Empire. In 1949, the island became a lifeboat for two million refugees from the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the White Terror began. Later chapters explain the recent conflicts that have emerged after the suspension of four decades of martial law, as the Taiwanese debate issues of self-determination, independence, and home rule all under the watchful gaze of President Xi Jinping, and politicians around the world. Rebel Island is an essential guide to Taiwans past and present, providing invaluable context at a time of escalating tension over its future. Autorid: Jonathan Clements

Uus "JURA Z10" kohvimasin esitleb sulle uusi võimalusi nautida nii kuumi kui ka külmasid jooke. Valida saad lausa 32 erineva joogi seast, kõik neist valmivad vaid ühe puudutusega - täidlasest ja robustsest espressost kuni maheda latteni. Tänu uusimatele integreeritud tehnoloogiatele viidatakse sellele kohvimasinale kui tõelisele Šveitsi inseneride meistriteosele. Elektrooniliselt juhitav Product Recognising Grinder (P.R.G.) tuvastab valitud joogi koheselt ning valib sellele erilise täpsusega parima jahvatusastme. Lisaks tutvustab "JURA" meile uut revolutsioonilist külma kohvi valmistamise tehnoloogiat, nimega Cold Extraction Process. Kui külm kohvijook on valitud, surutuakse külm vesi läbi värskelt jahvatatud kohviubade aeglaste ja kõrge survega pulssidena. Sel viisil valmivad veelgi populaarsema cold brew külmpruulitud kohvijoogid.

See kõik teostatakse valmistuse ajal automaatselt, kuid soovi korral saad Aroma Selection funktsiooniga jahvatusastet ka manuaalselt muuta. COLD BREW KOHV AITAB MAHA JAHTUDATavaliselt valmistatakse külma kohvi kuuma kohvi sisse jääkuubikuid lisades. Peaaegu alati rikub see kohvi maitse, kuna jää lahjendab seda.
