The Art of Camping - Matthew De Abaitua - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Could there be another way of life? Can I survive with less stuff? Should I run for the hills? These are all good questions that people have asked before, throughout history, and which have inspired people to set up camp. But now camping is part of the drive for self-sufficiency, a reaction against mass tourism, a chance to connect with the land, to experience a community, to leave no trace . . . From packing to pitching, with hikes into the deep history of the subject and encounters with the great campers and camping movements of the past, this is a witty and philosophical blend of ''how to'', history and personal anecdotes - a must for every camper.

Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus - Douglas Rushkoff - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus - Douglas Rushkoff - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why doesn''t the explosive growth of companies such as Facebook and Uber deliver more prosperity for everyone? How could things be different? In San Francisco in 2013 activists protesting against the gentrification of their city smashed the windows of a bus carrying Google employees to work. But these protests weren''t just a question of the activists versus the Googlers, or even the 99 per cent versus the 1 per cent. Rather they were symptomatic of the true conflict of our age, between humanity as a whole and a digital economy in which boundless growth is valued above all else.In this groundbreaking book, Douglas Rushkoff - named one of the world''s ten most influential thinkers by MIT - lays out a ground plan for a different economic and social future. Ranging from big data to the rise of robots, from the gig economy to the collapse of the eurozone, Rushkoff shows how we can combine the best of human nature with the best of modern technology to achieve a state of sustainable, distributed wealth.It''s time the economy finally worked for the human beings it''s supposed to serve.''Douglas Rushkoff is one of today''s most incisive media theorists and a provocative critic of our digital economy. He''s also fun to read'' WALTER ISAACSON, president and CEO, The Aspen Institute, and author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators ''If you don''t know Rushkoff, you''re not serious about figuring out what''s going to happen next'' SETH GODIN, author of Purple Cow and Tribes

Burn - Herman Pontzer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Pontzer''s findings have huge implications for our attitudes to exercise, diet and public health'' Mark Webster, Sunday Times A myth-busting tour of the body''s hidden foundations from a pioneering evolutionary biologist ''Public health strategies stubbornly cling to the simplistic armchair engineer''s view of metabolism, hurting efforts to combat obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and the other diseases that are most likely to kill us'' Herman Pontzer''s ground-breaking research has revealed how, contrary to received wisdom, exercise does not increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level. In this book, he draws on twenty years of cutting-edge science to take a closer look at what happens to the energy we consume. Burn explores the ways in which metabolism controls every aspect of our health - from fertility to immune function - and reveals the truth about the dynamic system that sustains us. Filled with facts and memorable anecdotes, this book will change the way you think about food, exercise and what really matters for your health.

Winner of the Jhalak Prize Winner of the Bread & Roses Award for Radical Publishing ''A revelation'' Owen Jones ''Afropean seizes the blur of contradictions that have obscured Europe''s relationship with blackness and paints it into something new, confident and lyrical'' Afua Hirsch A Guardian , New Statesman and BBC History Magazine Best Book of 2019 ''Afropean. Here was a space where blackness was taking part in shaping European identity ... A continent of Algerian flea markets, Surinamese shamanism, German Reggae and Moorish castles. Yes, all this was part of Europe too ... With my brown skin and my British passport - still a ticket into mainland Europe at the time of writing - I set out in search of the Afropeans, on a cold October morning.'' Afropean is an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities. Here is an alternative map of the continent, taking the reader to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the area of Stockholm that is eighty per cent Muslim. Johny Pitts visits the former Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still making the most of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which gave birth to the 2005 riots, all the while presenting Afropeans as lead actors in their own story.
