Az egyszerű vadon 1: The Simple Wild
A sors ismétli önmagát?
Calla Fletcher kétéves volt, amikor az édesanyja vele együtt elmenekült az alaszkai vadon és az elszigetelt vidéki életmód kihívásai elől, és elhagyta Calla apját, Wren Fletchert. Calla sosem nézett vissza, és huszonhat évesen a mozgalmas torontói életen kívül nem ismer mást. Amikor azonban az apja felveszi vele a kapcsolatot, és tudatja, hogy súlyos beteg, a lány tudja, hogy ideje megtennie a hosszú utat a határmenti elhagyatott kisvárosba, ahol született.
Calla szembenéz a mászkáló vadakkal, a különös nappali órákkal, az elképesztő bolti árakkal, és időnként még – szent ég! – a kinti pottyantós vécével is, cserébe, hogy megismerhesse az apját: a férfit, akivel a rengeteg hibája ellenére is újra törődni kezd.
Ám miközben nagy küzdelmek árán igyekszik hozzászokni a sarkközeli éghajlathoz és az otthonitól teljesen eltérő életritmushoz, Jonah – egy csendes, cinikus és büszke alaszkai pilóta, aki Calla apjának repülős vállalatát, a Vadont működteti – alig várja az elkényeztetett városi lány bukását. Meggyőződése ugyanis, hogy Calla túlságosan kényes ahhoz, hogy megbirkózzon a vadonnal.
Jonahnak feltehetőleg igaza van, de Calla eltökéli, hogy bebizonyítja a tévedését. Aztán váratlanul azon kapja magát, hogy elmélyül a kapcsolata a robosztus pilótával. Ahogy a férfi rejtett megvetése egyre halványul, barátság veszi át a helyét – vagy talán valami mélyebb is? De Calla nem azért jött Alaszkába, hogy maradjon, Jonah pedig sosem fogja otthagyni a helyet, ami az élete. Ostobaság lenne mindkettejük részéről románcba kezdeni, és ugyanarra az útra lépni, amivel Calla szülei is megpróbálkoztak – és kudarcot vallottak – évekkel korábban.
Egy egyszerű igazság, amiről kiderül, hogy nem is olyan egyszerű.

The Merchants of Truth
Merchants of Truth by Jill Abramson, former editor of The New York Times, is the gripping and definitive in-the-room account of the revolution that has swept the news industry over the last decade and reshaped our world.
Drawing on revelatory access, Abramson takes us behind the scenes at four media titans during the most volatile years in news history. Two are maverick upstarts: BuzzFeed, the brain-child of virtuoso clickbait scientist Jonah Perretti, and VICE, led by the booze-fuelled anarcho-hipster Shane Smith. Their viral technology and disregard for the long-established standards of news journalism allow them to build game-changing billion-dollar businesses out of the millennial taste for puppies and nudity.
The two others are among the world's most venerable news institutions: The New York Times, owned and run for generations by the Sulzberger dynasty, and The Washington Post, also family-owned but soon to be bought by the world's richest merchant of all, Jeff Bezos.
Here Abramson reveals first-hand the seismic clashes that take place in the boardrooms and newsrooms as they are forced to choose between their cherished principles - objectivity and impartiality - and survival in a world where online advertising via Facebook and Google seems the only life-raft.
We are with the deal-making tycoons, thrusting reporters and hard-bitten editors, the egomaniacs, bullshitters, provocateurs and bullies, as some surf and others drown in the breaking wave of change. And we watch as the survivors confront the horrifying cost of their success: sexual scandal, fake news, the election of President Trump, the shaking of democracy.
Exposing the people and decisions that brought us to now, Merchants of Truth is a major book that breaks the ultimate news story of our times.

River Wild
Nové město. Nová identita. Těhotná a bez pomoci.
Na útěku před minulostí, která mě nikdy nesmí znovu najít.
River Wild.
Náladový. Nevypočitatelný. Zmetek.
Tak to je můj nový soused.
O přátelství s Riverem nemám sebemenší zájem. Stejně tak on o mě nezavadí pohledem.
Jednoho dne mi ale pomůže zachránit opuštěného psa. Ten den jsem v jeho očích spatřila cosi, co moc dobře znám. Smutek. Bolest. Osamělost.
Tyhle věci jsou pro mě denním chlebem.
I když ani jeden z nás o přátelství nestojí, osud nás přivede k sobě. A potom, jako blesk z čistého nebe, už z nás nejsou jenom přátelé, ale něco víc.
River a já máme každý svoje tajemství. Kostlivce ve skříni. Ale to nám nestojí v cestě. On rozumí mně. A já rozumím jemu.
Poprvé v životě zažívám něco, o čem jsem dosud slyšela jenom v pohádkách – štěstí.
Jenomže žádné štěstí netrvá navěky. Ne pro lidi, jako jsem já.
Moje minulost je mi v patách, slídí, čeká a připravuje se na ten správný okamžik, aby mi to všechno vyrvala z náručí.

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.
Pragmatism and The Meaning of Truth (EN)
Audiobook Pragmatism and The Meaning of Truth written by William James. William James was one of the most influential figures in 19th-century American philosophy and psychology. His Pragmatism is a set of lectures that he gave in 1906–07 in answer to the enduring debate between empiricism and rationalism. Shifting between them, he proposed pragmatism as a method, the idea being that the value of any truth is dependent upon its utility – upon its practical and experiential consequences.

Six weeks to fight for my freedom...all while fighting my growing attraction to this All-American sweetheart with a winning smile and a career on the rise.

Lacná kniha Ugly Truth (-70%)
In November 2018, the New York Times published a bombshell in-depth investigation that exposed, with disturbing insider detail, how leadership decisions at Facebook enabled, and then tried to cover up, massive privacy breaches and Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The story quickly shot to the top of the paper's most emailed list. It would earn the team of Times reporters a prestigious Loeb award, the George Polk award, and a spot on the Pulitzer short list. But it only skimmed the surface.
The investigation's lead reporters, Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang, spent eighteen months piecing together the story of how one of the most powerful companies in the world tried to bury a damning truth-that Facebook has become a conduit for disinformation, hate speech, and political propaganda. The unrivalled sources of these two veteran journalists led them to perhaps the most recognizable names in the tech industry: Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Both have long existed as archetypes of uniquely 21st century executives-he, the tech "boy genius" turned billionaire, she, the ultimate woman in business, an inspiration to millions through her books and speeches.
An Ugly Truth is the definitive story of Facebook's fall from grace, following the embattled company from 2011, when its power and positive influence was undisputed, to 2020, when it will face its biggest test yet-the US presidential election. What are the ultimate ramifications when a few individuals are in charge of the technology used by half the world's population? Can they control the technology they've unleashed into the world? And if not, can we, as individuals and as a society, control them?
