6. Stumbling on Happiness - Daniel Gilbert
|
|||
|
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Bringing to life scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, this witty, accessible book reveals what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there. • Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? • Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight? • Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want? • Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why can’t we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it? In this brilliant book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become. |

|
|||
|
First published in 1946, History of Western Philosophy went on to become the best-selling philosophy book of the twentieth century. A dazzlingly ambitious project, it remains unchallenged to this day as the ultimate introduction to Western philosophy. Providing a sophisticated overview of the ideas that have perplexed people from time immemorial, it is 'long on wit, intelligence and curmudgeonly scepticism', as the New York Times noted, and it is this, coupled with the sheer brilliance of its scholarship, that has made Russell's History of Western Philosophy one of the most important philosophical works of all time. |

|

|
He teased her for a decade. Now he needs her to lie for him. Brogan Hollister teased me mercilessly for our entire childhood. Now he's on my porch at midnight, asking to stay. I'm Willy, and I have a beach house halfway through a renovation, three days left in Love Beach, and a flight to New York with my name on it. What I don't have is room in my life for the boy who made me cry in the eighth grade, even if the Navy turned him into six feet of shoulders and better manners. I let him sleep on the couch. One night. That's it. The next morning he tells his mother we've been seeing each other for six months. So now I'm fake dating a Navy SEAL to save him from his own mother's matchmaking, in a town where everybody already has an opinion about me, with a countdown running on the whole thing. Fine. Three days. I can be charming for three days. Except Brogan isn't the boy I remember. And the way he looks at me across my half finished kitchen has nothing pretend about it. Three days. Then I get on that plane. That was the deal. |

13. The Neutrality Paradox in Sport - Hans Erik Næss
|
|||
|
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, sanctions were implemented that banned Russia from most international sports. As a result, sport governing bodies (SGBs) have made a marked shift in their tradition of neutrality, to a point of no return. In light of this, this book asks what is next for SGBs. It provides an analysis of the root problem that sport governing bodies have had with politics since their inception: a paradoxical treatment of neutrality. This can be evidenced by their awarding of Mega-Sport Events to authoritarian states and also through the SGBs’ own desire to make a difference by promoting human rights and sustainable development. Good or bad, the author argues that their neutrality principles are invalidated by their actions.  Offering interdisciplinary research with empirical examples, this issue is explored in an engaging, yet analytical way, making it valuable reading for researchers and students interested in sport management, for organisations and also policy makers. This book presents a pioneering study of neutrality and autonomy in sport in light of the Ukraine crisis, and addresses a growing appetite in academia on how sport governing bodies will reconcile their commitments to societal progress, whilst maintaining neutrality. Hans Erik Næss  is a Professor of Sport Management at Department of Leadership and Organization, Kristiania University College, Norway. He is the author of "A History of Organizational Change: The case of Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), 1946–2020" (Palgrave Macmillan 2020) and his current work focuses on the interconnections between sport, sustainability and human rights. |
14. Contemplative Prayer - Thomas Merton & Thích Nhất Hạnh
|
|||
|
In this classic text, Thomas Merton offers valuable guidance for prayer. He brings together a wealth of meditative and mystical influences–from John of the Cross to Eastern desert monasticism–to create a spiritual path for today. Most important, he shows how the peace contacted through meditation should not be sought in order to evade the problems of contemporary life, but can instead be directed back out into the world to affect positive change. Contemplative Prayer is one of the most well-known works of spirituality of the last one hundred years, and it is a must-read for all seeking to live a life of purpose in today’s world. In a moving and profound introduction, Thich Nhat Hanh offers his personal recollections of Merton and compares the contemplative traditions of East and West. |

She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.

22. Luhistuminen - Édouard Louis & Lotta Toivanen
|
|||
|
Kukaan ei auttanut häntä pakenemaan. Édouard Louis ei halua kuulla puhuttavankaan veljestään. Kunnes veli kuolee, ja totuutta on katsottava suoraan silmiin. Olisiko veljen voinut pelastaa? Olisiko pitänyt? Édouard Louis on kirjoittanut muun muassa lapsuudestaan ja äidistään, ja nyt hän ottaa käsittelyyn alkoholismia sairastaneen veljensä. Haaveita ja ideoita pursuavasta pojasta kasvaa riippuvuuksien ja masennuksen kourissa viruva aikuinen, ja 38-vuotiaana veli löytyy kotoaan kuolleena. Veljen kuolema pakottaa Louis’n pohtimaan tuskallisen vaikeaa sisarussuhdettaan sekä sitä, kuinka pahasti unelmat ja oman elämän raamit voivat luhistua. Louis’lla on erityinen kyky käsitellä yksilöllisiä kokemuksia vähäeleisen voimakkaalla tavalla niin, että ne kasvavat yleismaailmalliseksi yhteiskuntakritiikiksi. Édouard Louis (aiemmin Eddy Bellegueule, s. 1992 Hallencourtissa) kirjoitti esikoisteoksensa Ei enää Eddy vain 21-vuotiaana.

31. Good to Great - Jim Collins
|
|||
|
The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. “Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings? |

Eräänä iltana yötaivaalla luki ERROR. Liukkonen ei ylitä odotushorisonttia – hän siirtää sen uuteen paikkaan "Mutta etkö muka toisinaan, vielä selkiytymättöminä intervalleina, herää, havahdu, kuin sukelluksista, suussa outo kumimainen maku? Eikö huone mistä heräät näytä aina ventovieraalta, loimuavan valkoiselta, ja sinä harot itseäsi hereille saostuneen valon seasta, kuin verhoihin takertuneena, ja ajattelet, että oudolla maulla suussa on jotain tekemistä tämän kaiken kanssa, suolaisen kumin maulla." Tässä on henkilökaartimme: Henri Classic, jonka tehtävänä on suunnitella aivan uudenlainen elokuvateatteri; Samuel Classic, joka harmittelee ettei ole elänyt atsteekkien aikaan; Silvia Classic, joka kirjoittaa lastenkirjoja täynnä koprofiliaa ja kunnallispolitiikkaa; Nikolei Bidé, joka on maankuulu hyönteisruokakokki; Olof Beskow, joka tekee ahdistavia mainoksia dildoista jotka eivät tyydytä. Ja monia, monia muita. Heidän kiertoratojensa keskipiste on yhteinen: kaikenkattava projekti, jolla pyritään kolmiulotteistamaan elämä kaikkineen. Tuntuuko sinusta, että sinua tarkkaillaan? Ei ihme. Miki Liukkonen (1989–2023) kirjoitti viisi romaania, kolme runokokoelmaa ja yhden aikuisille tarkoitetun kuvakirjan. Hänen tuotantonsa näyttää ihmiset ja koko maailman kaikessa kauneudessaan, runsaudessaan ja neuroottisuudessaan, hänen teoksissaan olemassaolon yksityiskohtien paljous sataa lukijan ylle vertausten ja metaforien kukkaistulvana. |

'God put me on this earth to raise sheer hell.' Richard Burton 'I was a sinner. I slugged some people. I hurt many people. And it's true, I never looked back to see the casualties.' Richard Harris 'Booze is the most outrageous of all drugs, which is why I chose it.' Peter O'Toole 'I don't have a drink problem. But if that was the case and doctors told me I had to stop I'd like to think I would be brave enough to drink myself into the grave.' Oliver Reed This is the story of four of the greatest thespian boozers who ever walked - or staggered - off a film set into a pub. It's a story of drunken binges of near biblical proportions, parties and orgies, broken marriages, drugs, riots and wanton sexual conquests. They got away with it because of their extraordinary acting talent and because the public loved them. They were truly the last of a breed, the last of the movie hellraisers. |

En romahtanut siksi, että elämä olisi menettänyt merkityksensä. Romahtaminen tuli, koska olin yrittänyt liian kauan olla “normaali”. Jokainen sosiaalinen tilanne oli suoritus. Jokainen keskustelu analyysi. Lopulta hermosto vain sammui. Kun neurokehityksellistä arviota ei tehdä riittävän perusteellisesti, tunneintensiteetti ja säätelyvaikeudet saatetaan sijoittaa persoonallisuuden tasolle. Mutta jos kyse on hermoston erilaisesta rakenteesta, kyse ei ole persoonallisuuden häiriöstä – vaan säätelyjärjestelmän herkkyydestä. Kaikki intensiivisyys ei ole epävakautta. Kaikki impulsiivisuus ei ole persoonallisuushäiriötä. Kaikki tunnekuohu ei ole identiteetin hajoamista. Joskus se on AuDHD. Osa tuotoista lahjoitetaan hyväntekeväisyyteen. |

|
|||
|
Master ARM Cortex-M Programming From the Ground Up – No Libraries, No Abstraction Layers, Just Pure Hardware Control You configure an STM32 peripheral using CubeMX, click "Generate Code," and suddenly you have 50,000 lines of HAL library code you didn't write and don't understand. Everything seems to work... until it doesn't. When the UART drops bytes, the ADC gives noisy readings, or the system randomly hangs, you're stuck. You step through function after function, diving through abstraction layers, trying to figure out what's actually happening at the hardware level. Hours disappear debugging code that someone else wrote, code that does ten things when you need it to do one thing perfectly. There's a better way. The best embedded engineers don't rely on code generators and abstraction layers. They write directly to hardware registers, understanding every bit that gets set, every clock cycle that executes, every interrupt that fires. They debug in minutes what takes others hours because they know exactly where to look. ARM Cortex-M Register-Level Programming in C strips away the abstraction layers and teaches you to program microcontrollers the way professional embedded engineers do—directly, efficiently, and with complete understanding. This isn't another book that wraps everything in HAL functions and hopes you don't ask questions. This is bare-metal programming from first principles, where you'll learn: ✅ Direct Register Manipulation – Write to GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, Timer, and ADC registers without any middleware ✅ Complete Hardware Understanding – See exactly how bits in configuration registers translate to electrical signals on pins ✅ Professional Driver Architecture – Build reusable, maintainable peripheral drivers that don't hide complexity ✅ Real-Time Interrupt Handling – Configure NVIC priorities, write ISRs that execute in microseconds, and handle nested interrupts correctly ✅ DMA Mastery – Move data at maximum speed without wasting CPU cycles ✅ Memory-Mapped I/O – Understand bus matrices, clock trees, and how peripherals actually connect to the processor ✅ Bootloader Development – Build in-application programming systems for field firmware updates ✅ Flash Memory Programming – Erase pages, write data, manage option bytes, and implement write protection ✅ System Reliability – Configure watchdog timers, detect reset sources, and implement brown-out protection ✅ Performance Optimization – Use bit-banding, atomic operations, and cache management for maximum efficiency Stop guessing. Start knowing. Whether you're debugging production firmware, learning ARM for the first time, or just tired of fighting abstraction layers that hide more than they help, this book gives you the understanding and skills to program ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers with complete confidence. Perfect for: Embedded systems engineers wanting deeper hardware understanding Firmware developers debugging mysterious HAL library issues Electronics enthusiasts graduating from Arduino to professional development Students learning embedded systems in university courses Engineers migrating from 8-bit to 32-bit microcontrollers No more mystery code.

79. Motorcycle Life - Eric Hendrikx & Norman Reedus

More than 100 riders from around the world reveal how motorcycles shape their lives, identities, and sense of freedom in this visually rich exploration of modern motorcycle culture. Foreword by Norman Reedus | Introduction by Mike Wolfe Motorcycles aren’t just machines—they’re a way of seeing the world. In  Motorcycle Life , author and journalist Eric Hendrikx brings together more than 100 riders from across the globe in a visually rich exploration of what draws people to two wheels—and why they never leave. Through intimate interviews and striking photography, the book captures a wide spectrum of voices, from actors and builders to racers, designers, and everyday riders. Featuring stories from Keanu Reeves, Jason Momoa, Tommy Flanagan, Carey Hart, and Steve Caballero, each interview reveals something deeper: how riding becomes a tool for freedom, a response to grief, a path to independence, or a lifelong obsession. Some found motorcycles as children. Others came to them later, searching for something they couldn’t name. All of them discovered the same truth—that riding strips life down to something more immediate, more honest, and more real. Part cultural document, part visual journey,  Motorcycle Life  is a celebration of the people behind the handlebars—and the shared human need for movement, connection, and meaning. Eric Hendrikx is donating 100% of his pre-order royalties to the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in support of Movember, funding critical programs in men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.     |

Fans of Hannah Grace and Elle Kennedy, meet your new obsession! The international college-romance phenomenon with over one million copies sold, now being adapted into an Amazon Prime TV series.  He’s the campus bad boy.  She’s his neighbour’s ex.  Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea? Lane O’Neill doesn’t do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached.  So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn’t do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She’s everything Lane avoids – yet somehow impossible to ignore.  That’s how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls.  Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by.  Pick this up if you love: frenemies to lovers, reluctant roommates, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, found family.  |

87. Last Words - Paul Kockelman
|
|||
|
What kind of meaning can machines make—and why does it matter that it’s not the same as ours? Anthropologist Paul Kockelman’s Last Words offers a rigorous but accessible account of how large language models actually work—and why the meaning they produce is fundamentally different from human meaning-making. Drawing on the semiotics of C.S. Peirce, Kockelman’s witty and insightful pamphlet shows how LLMs are trained to predict word-word relations, not word-world relations, which explains both their uncanny fluency and their systematic blind spots. The result is a compact, essential guide to cutting through the hype: not a dismissal of AI, but a precise account of what it can and cannot do—and who profits from the confusion.   |
88. The Möbius Book - Catherine Lacey
|
|||
|
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by The New York Times , Vulture , the Los Angeles Times , the Boston Globe , The A.V. Club , Chicago Review of Books , OurCulture , and LitHub Adrift after a sudden breakup and its ensuing depression, the novelist Catherine Lacey began cataloguing the wreckage of her life and the beauty of her friendships, a practice that eventually propagated fiction both entirely imagined and painfully true. Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted with a shared mortgage and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey’s appetite vanished, a visceral reminder of the teenage emaciation that came when she stopped believing in God. But through relationships, travel, reading, and memories of her religious fanaticism, she charts the contours of faith’s absence and reemergence. She and her characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, grief-driven lust, and the redemptive power of platonic love and of narrative itself. The result is a book of uncommon vulnerability and wisdom, and a heartbreaking—and heart-mending—exploration of endings and beginnings. A hybrid work with no beginning or ending, readable from either side, The Möbius Book troubles the line between memory and fiction with an openhearted defense of faith’s power, and inherent danger. |

Brun, son of Brachard : One human wormed her way into my heart as children. I thought we'd be mated as adults, though I'm orc royalty. A prince. But she disappeared without a word. When I'm told I must adhere to an arranged marriage with a human, I never expected it would be her. But Hannah pretends she doesn't know me, claiming amnesia stole her memories. She wants to believe I'm a savage beast and not the childhood friend who spent hours promising her we'd be together forever. I'm about to keep that promise. It's her choice as to which. |

*Nominated for Best Book at the 2025 Chortle Awards* 'Outstanding, I want to press it into the hands of every newly diagnosed person' Fern Brady 'Like a Martian's guide to living on Earth. Funny, enlightening and gobsmacking' Frank Skinner 'A hilarious, crystal-clear guide to autism' Phil Wang 'An illuminating and joyously entertaining book' Daily Express Why were the other kids at school obsessed with Britney Spears instead of The Goon Show ? Why don't people ever say what they mean? And... Why is everyone chewing so loudly ? Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck's back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right. This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life. At once a hilarious and insightful journey through autism and neurodivergence, an entertaining explainer for the uninitiated and observational comedy for the neurodiverse, this is the perfect read for anyone who has ever asked themselves: why can't I just enjoy things? |

'Thank you, Dr Mosconi' Davina McCall 'I had never really fathomed how hormonal changes impact the brain until I read The Menopause Brain' Gwyneth Paltrow ' The Menopause Brain will quickly become your new best friend' Halle Berry THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Menopause and perimenopause are still baffling to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn't just impact the ovaries - it's a hormonal show in which the brain takes centre stage. The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches - explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like 'designer estrogens,' hormonal contraception and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise and self-care. Best of all, Dr Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it's actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain - ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life. |

|
My name is Jonah Carrow, and it’s been 300 days since I laid a hex. OK, Jonah Carrow isn’t actually an alcoholic. But there’s no support group of lapsed hex-slingers in Jerusalem, so he’s got to make do. He goes for the bad coffee and the reminder that he just has to take normal one day at a time. Unfortunately, his past isn’t willing to go down without a fight. A chance encounter with a desperate Deborah Seddon, and a warning that ‘they’re watching’, pulls Jonah back into the world he’d tried to leave behind.

96. Natsi-Saksa Suomen lentokentillä - Lauri Lepola
|
|||
|
Tämä kirja kertoo siitä kuinka Natsi-Saksa hyväksikäytti Suomen lentokenttiä ja poltti puoli Suomea poistuessaan. Ryti ja Mannerheim tekivät, Suomen eduskunnan ja presidentin tietämättä, Saksan kanssa niin sanotun 'läpikulku' -sopimuksen. Sopimus johti käytännössä siihen, että natsit miehittivät koko Pohjois-Suomen Oulua myöden. Myös Suomen suurimmat lentokentät Malmi, Utti, Luonetjärvi ja Rovaniemi luovutettiin natsi-Saksan käyttöön jo ennen sotaa ja Porin lentokenttä hieman myöhemmin. |

Yet when feisty helicopter pilot Lexi Howard saves his life she turns Kadir’s regimented world upside down. His first duty must be to his country, but avoiding the sensual pilot is becoming increasingly difficult…especially now that she’s working for him! Lexi’s disregard for his command is somewhat…refreshing. Can the desert king resist making her his final–and most forbidden–conquest? Praise for Chantelle Shaw A Night in the Prince’s Bed 4* Book Review Shaw’s flowing narrative tells an emotionally intense romance set deep in the frozen tundra. The characters’ extremely honest chats are poignant and intimate, and their inventive love scenes are smoking. Billionaire’s Secret 4.5* TOP PICK RT Book Review The English countryside and a ramshackle estate are perfect backdrops for Shaw’s gothic-tinged Chatsfield page-turner. The romance stars a tormented, tragic hero and an optimistic heroine who cheats death. The plot captivates, the narrative is seamless and the love scenes sizzle. Secrets of a Powerful Man 4.5* TOP PICK RT Book Review Shaw’s characters are brilliant, with a tortured hero, sweetly innocent heroine and a precious youngster. Her beautiful, flowing narrative brings the landscapes and people of Sicily — as well as her emotional love story — to life. About the author Chantelle Shaw enjoyed a happy childhood making up stories in her head. Always an avid reader, Chantelle discovered Mills & Boon as a teenager and during the times when her children refused to sleep, she would pace the floor with a baby in one hand and a book in the other! Twenty years later she decided to write one of her own. Writing takes up most of Chantelle’s spare time, but she also enjoys gardening and walking. She doesn't find domestic chores so pleasurable! |

100. Peter O'Toole - Robert Sellers
|
|||
|
Peter O'Toole was supremely talented, a unique leading man and one of the most charismatic and unpredictable actors of his generation. Described by Richard Burton as 'the most original actor to come out of Britain since the war', O'Toole regularly seemed to veer towards self-destruction. With the help of exclusive interviews with colleagues and close friends, Peter O'Toole: The Definitive Biography paints the first complete picture of this much loved man and reveals what drove him to extremes, why he drank to excess and hated authority. But it also describes a man who was fiercely intelligent, with a great sense of humour and huge energy. Always insightful, at times funny, at times deeply moving, this is a fitting tribute to an iconic actor who made a monumental contribution to theatre and cinema. |
