All Grown Up - Jami Attenberg - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Hilarious, courageous and mesmerising'' Maria Semple''Think BBC''s Fleabag set in Brooklyn'' Stylist ''I''m alone. I''m a drinker. I''m a former artist. I''m a shrieker in bed. I''m the captain of the sinking ship that is my flesh.''Andrea is a single, childless 39-year-old woman who tries to navigate family, sexuality, friendships and a career she never wanted, but battles with thoughts and desires that few people would want to face up to. Gut-wrenchingly honest and shimmering with rage and intimacy, All Grown Up questions what it means to be a 21st century woman: - What if I don''t want to hold your baby?- Can I date you without ever hearing about your divorce?- What can I demand of my mother now that I am an adult?- Is therapy pointless?- At what point does drinking a lot become a drinking problem?- Why does everyone keep asking me why I am not married? Powerfully intelligent and wickedly funny, All Grown Up delves into the psyche of a flawed but mesmerising character. Readers will recognise themselves in Jami Attenberg''s truthful account of womanhood, though they might not always want to admit it.

Eat Up - Ruby Tandoh - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Think about that first tickle of hunger in your stomach. A moment ago, you could have been thinking about anything, but now it''s thickly buttered marmite toast, a frosty scoop of ice cream straight from the tub, some creamy, cheesy scrambled eggs or a fuzzy, perfectly-ripe peach.Eating is one of life''s greatest pleasures. Food nourishes our bodies, helps us celebrate our successes (from a wedding cake to a post-night out kebab), cheers us up when we''re down, introduces us to new cultures and - when we cook and eat together - connects us with the people we love.In Eat Up, Ruby Tandoh celebrates the fun and pleasure of food, taking a look at everything from gluttons and gourmets in the movies, to the symbolism of food and sex. She will arm you against the fad diets, food crazes and bad science that can make eating guilt-laden and expensive, drawing eating inspiration from influences as diverse as Moonlight, Rihanna and Gemma from TOWIE. Filled with straight-talking, sympathetic advice on everything from mental health to recipe ideas and shopping tips, this is a book that clears away the fog, to help you fall back in love with food.

Open Up - Alex Holder - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

What does it mean to be ''bad'' at money? Money is not a maths problem. Spending, saving, splitting the bill or asking for a pay rise - these are moments dominated by our own hang-ups, habits, anxiety and ambitions. Money features in our friendships, family life, our choice of late-night treat and who we date. And yet it''s so often hidden behind shame and silence. We need to start talking about it.Funny, frank, and filled with insights, practical advice and conversations with everyone from company CEOs to debt advisors to housemates, Open Up is the book that will transform your relationship to money. It shows how talking can change your life, relationships and bank balance, and influence bigger issues like pay gaps or the living wage. This book strips away the awkwardness to help you gain knowledge, take control of your finances and finally get ''good'' with money.

Up Pohnpei - Paul Watson - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Up Pohnpei - Paul Watson - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

After one too many late night discussions, football journalist Paul Watson and his mate Matthew Conrad decide to find the world''s worst national team, become naturalised citizens of that country and play for them - achieving their joint boyhood dream of playing international football and winning a ''cap''. They are thrilled when Wikipedia leads them to Pohnpei, a tiny, remote island in the Pacific whose long-defunct football team is described as ''the weakest in the world''. They contact Pohnpei''s Football Association and discover what it needs most urgently is leadership. So Paul and Matt travel thousands of miles, leaving behind jobs, families and girlfriends to train a rag-tag bunch of novice footballers who barely understand the rules of the game.Up Pohnpei tells the story of their quest to coach the team and eventually, organise an international fixture - Pohnpei''s first since a 16-1 defeat many years ago. With no funding, a population whose obesity rate is 90 percent and toad-infested facilities in one of the world''s wettest climates, their journey is beset by obstacles from the outset. Part travelogue, part quest, Up Pohnpei shows how the passion and determination of two young men can change the face of football - and the lives of total strangers - on the other side of the world.

Something Doesn’t Add Up - Paul Goodwin - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Some people fear and mistrust numbers. Others want to use them for everything. After a long career as a statistician, Paul Goodwin has learned the hard way that the ones who want to use them for everything are a very good reason for the rest of us to fear and mistrust them. Something Doesn''t Add Up is a fieldguide to the numbers that rule our world, even though they don''t make sense.Wry, witty and humane, Goodwin explains mathematical subtleties so painlessly that you hardly need to think about numbers at all. He demonstrates how statistics that are meant to make life simpler often make it simpler than it actually is, but also reveals some of the ways we really can use maths to make better decisions. Enter the world of fitness tracking, the history of IQ testing, China''s social credit system, Effective Altruism, and learn how someone should have noticed that Harold Shipman was killing his patients years before they actually did. In the right hands, maths is a useful tool. It''s just a pity there are so many of the wrong hands about.

The Material - Camille Bordas - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Utterly charming ... Bordas is an invaluable new voice'' George Saunders ''A disquisition into the nature of comedy and creativity. Like the best comedians ... Bordas is alert to the deeper joke'' Sunday Times''Marvellously engaging and entertaining ... full of terrific moments and cutting dialogue'' IndependentEvery comedian knows that there''s a line between sharp and cruel, that sad becomes funny at the right angle, that any moment in life, however painful or triumphant, can be turned into a punchline. But at the Chicago Stand-up School, it seems as if the students and teachers are just too wounded, mixed up, self-involved or fearful to land the joke. It''s unclear whether the visiting tutor - successful, controversial Manny Reinhardt - will help or hinder their progress. Set over the course of a single day, The Material examines life through the eyes of these misfits bound together by the need to laugh, and to make others laugh even harder.''This novel is so smart. Camille Bordas has exposed the "material" of stand-up by making stand-up her material. Brilliance is on display here'' Percival Everett, Booker-shortlisted author of James

Get Out of My Life - Suzanne Franks - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Get Out of My Life - Suzanne Franks - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Teenagers are tough and anyone who has their own needs help. Witty, enjoyable and genuinely insightful, Get Out of My Life is now updated with how to deal with everything from social media to online threats and porn, as well as looking at all the difficult issues of bringing up teenagers, school, sex, drugs and more. But it''s the title of the second chapter, ''What They Do and Why'' that best captures the book''s spirit and technique, explaining how to translate teenage behaviour into its true, often less complicated meaning.One key mistake, for instance, is getting in no-win conflicts instead of having the wisdom to shut up when shutting up would be the most effective, albeit least satisfying, thing to do. Another is taking offence when the teenager views you, the adult, as idiotic. And there''s advice on what to do when this happens. The message is clear: parenting adolescents is inherently difficult. Don''t judge yourself too harshly!

Mathematical Intelligence - Junaid Mubeen - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

There''s so much talk about the threat posed by intelligent machines that it sometimes seems as though we should surrender to our robot overlords. But Junaid Mubeen isn''t ready to throw in the towel just yet. As far as he is concerned, we have the creative edge over machines, because of a remarkable system of thought that humans have developed over the millennia. It''s familiar to us all, but often badly taught in schools and misrepresented in popular discourse - maths. Computers are, of course, brilliant at totting up sums, pattern-seeking and performing mindless tasks of, well, computation. For all things calculation, machines reign supreme. But Junaid identifies seven areas of intelligence where humans can retain a crucial edge. And in exploring these areas, he opens up a fascinating world where we can develop our uniquely human mathematical superpowers.

The Disconnect - Roisin Kiberd - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

We all live online now, but what does that mean in IRL? How do strange subcultures on reddit affect our local shopping centres, what do night gyms owe to Twitter, and where can we really go to get some decent sleep? Our every move online is watched, but can we see ourselves? In these wide-ranging, witty essays, Roisin Kiberd offers immersive insight into the strange worlds, habits and people who have grown up with the internet, and shows the way our world is changing to fit the online fever-dream. Unsettling, clear-sighted and perversely fun, she traces the lines between Netflix and nap hotels, vaporwave music and camgirls, self-optimisation and insomnia, dating apps and a grand unified theory of Monster Energy Drinks. As well as holding up the zeitgeist for scrutiny, she turns an equally frank eye on her own life online, and asks what we have gained, what we have lost, and what we have given willingly away in exchange for this connected world.
