The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas - Machado De Assis - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas - Machado De Assis - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A revelatory new translation of the playful, incomparable masterpiece of one of the greatest Black authors in the Americas Machado de Assis is not only Brazil''s most celebrated writer but also a writer of world stature. In his masterpiece, the 1881 novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner ), the ghost of a decadent and disagreeable aristocrat decides to write his memoir. He dedicates it to the worms gnawing at his corpse and tells of his failed romances and half-hearted political ambitions, serves up hare-brained philosophies and complains with gusto from the depths of his grave. Wildly imaginative, wickedly witty and ahead of its time, the novel has been compared to works by Cervantes, Sterne, Joyce, Nabokov, Borges and Calvino, and has influenced generations of writers around the world.

Between Meals - A. J. Liebling - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Between Meals - A. J. Liebling - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Fantastic. The benchmark for great food writing'' Anthony Bourdain ''The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite'' Between Meals is the gourmand and journalist A.J. Liebling''s delectable account of his time spent eating and drinking in 1920s Paris, under the tutelage of his friend Yves Mirande, ''one of the last of the great around-the-clock gastronomes of France''. With gluttonous joie de vivre, he fondly recalls everything from glorious dining (''A leg of lamb larded with anchovies, artichokes on a pedestal of foie gras, and four or five kinds of cheese'') to bad rosé (''a pinkish cross between No-Cal and vinegar''), and an ill-fated sojourn at a Swiss slimming-clinic. Witty, tart and full of gusto, this is a love song to food, wine and Paris.''Liebling transfers excitement, warmth, wit and information ... as hearty and explicit as good Calvados'' The New York Times Book Review With an introduction by James Salter

In Birds and Us, award-winning writer and ornithologist Tim Birkhead takes us on an epic and dazzling journey through this mutual history with birds, from the ibises mummified and deified by Ancient Egyptians to Renaissance experiments on woodpecker anatomy, from Victorian obsessions with egg collecting to the present fight to save endangered species and restore their habitats.Weaving in stories from his own life as a scientist, including far-flung expeditions to wondrous Neolithic caves in Spain and the bustling guillemot colonies of the Faroe Islands, this rich and fascinating book is the culmination of a lifetime''s research and unforgettably shows how birds shaped us, and how we have shaped them.''

Who Killed Una Lynskey? - Mick Clifford - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Who Killed Una Lynskey? - Mick Clifford - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE NO 1 BESTSELLER***A true story of murder and vengeance, a shattered community and a miscarriage of justice that echoes down the decadesOctober 1971. Nineteen-year-old Una Lynskey vanishes near her home in Co. Meath. In the weeks that follow, and on flimsy grounds, gardaí identify three young local men as suspects. Within days of her body being found, one of the three is beaten to death by members of Una’s family. The entire sequence of events is a tragedy in a quiet rural community - the wrong men jailed, no one ever facing justice - and becomes one of the most notorious failures in Irish policing and judicial history. In Who Killed Una Lynskey?, award-winning journalist Mick Clifford has built a compelling portrait of the case from interviews with the surviving main players, as well as exclusive access to the files of a private investigator who uncovered information the gardaí missed - or ignored. A timely, humane and compulsive read, this is a ground-breaking account of the botched investigation and its devastating consequences for not just four devastated families, but also the reputation of the gardaí. ---'A brilliant book' Nicola Tallant, Crime World Podcast'A grim, unsettling and sometimes desperately sad book - but also an undeniably important one’ Irish Independent‘Meticulously researched and clearly written chronicle of the nightmares endured by several families’ The Irish Times'Compelling' Irish Independent'A fantastic book' Pat Kenny, NewsTalk'Written with great gusto' Brendan O'Connor, RTÉ Radio One‘Terrific and at the same time terrifying … superb’ Eamon Dunphy, The Stand Podcast‘Fascinating’ Radio Kerry

Dunkirk - Hugh Sebag Montefiore - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

* * * S pecial 75th Anniversary Edition * * * Hugh Sebag-Montefiore''s Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man tells the story of the rescue in May 1940 of British soldiers fleeing capture and defeat by the Nazis at Dunkirk. Dunkirk was not just about what happened at sea and on the beaches. The evacuation would never have succeeded had it not been for the tenacity of the British soldiers who stayed behind to ensure they got away. Men like Sergeant Major Gus Jennings who died smothering a German stick bomb in the church at Esquelbecq in an effort to save his comrades, and Captain Marcus Ervine-Andrews VC who single-handedly held back a German attack on the Dunkirk perimeter thereby allowing the British line to form up behind him. Told to stand and fight to the last man, these brave few battalions fought in whatever manner they could to buy precious time for the evacuation. Outnumbered and outgunned, they launched spectacular and heroic attacks time and again, despite ferocious fighting and the knowledge that for many only capture or death would end their struggle.''A searing story . . . both meticulous military history and a deeply moving testimony to the extraordinary personal bravery of individual soldiers'' Tim Gardam, The Times ''Sebag-Montefiore tells [the story] with gusto, a remarkable attention to detail and an inexhaustible appetite for tracking down the evidence'' Richard Ovary, Telegraph Hugh Sebag-Montefiore was a barrister before becoming a journalist and then an author. He wrote the best-selling Enigma: The Battle for the Code . One of his ancestors was evacuated from Dunkirk.

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

The Lie of the Land - John Gibbons - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Lie of the Land - John Gibbons - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ireland has tended to think of itself as a ‘Goldilocks’ country: not too hot, not too cold, and well positioned to ride out the climate emergency. But this is a fantasy: the effects of climate change in Ireland will be profound, and at the moment we’re not doing nearly enough about it. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Ireland has the wherewithal to dramatically cut its emissions while making itself far more resilient. This book shows how it can be done. Above all, we must reimagine the ways in which we use the land. Agriculture accounts for 38 per cent of Ireland's greenhouse emissions – and just 7 per cent of gross national income. As Gibbons shows, Ireland's dramatic shift towards the most polluting food sectors – driven by a small number of agribusiness giants and facilitated by the state – benefits the few while imposing huge costs on the many. It doesn't have to be this way, and Gibbons, who grew up on an arable farm, shows how we can embrace a low-emissions farming model while preserving farmers' livelihoods, making the countryside a better place to live, and delivering something Ireland conspicuously lacks: food security. The Lie of the Land is a bracing critique of the bad decisions that have put Ireland into such a vulnerable position, and a devastating dissection of the wishful thinking and outright dishonesty that have propped up the status quo in Irish agriculture. It also offers an inspiring vision of how – through a revolution in farming, development of renewable energy (including our vast offshore wind resource), and a dramatic acceleration of moves to decarbonize transport and housing – we can prepare for the new realities of the climate crisis.

''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.
