Mallory Quinn har precis kommit ut från rehab när hon får jobb som barnflicka åt paret Ted och Caroline Maxwells femåriga son Teddy. Och Mallory älskar det omedelbart. Hon har sitt eget krypin, kan ta löprundor i det vackra bostadsområdet om kvällarna och har stabiliteten hon behöver. Framför allt älskar hon Teddy - den rara, blyga lilla pojken som aldrig går någonstans utan ritblock och pennor. Så fort han får chansen sitter han och ritar träd, kaniner och ballonger. Men en dag ritar han något annat: en man i skogen, som släpar en kvinnas livlösa kropp.
Det dröjer inte länge innan Teddys teckningar blir ännu mer skrämmande och hans streckgubbar utvecklas snabbt till verklighetstrogna skisser som ligger långt över en femårings förmåga. Mallory börjar undra om det är glimtar av ett gammalt olöst mordfall. Kan offret hemsöka Teddy? Mallory måste lösa gåtan och rädda Teddy innan det är för sent.

THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER THE OBESITY CODE BY ACCLAIMED NEPHROLOGIST AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, JASON FUNG, MD"Jason Fung nails it again in The Hunger Code. This book clearly and compellingly explains why most Americans are overweight and gives us a concise, evidence-based way to manage our weight with as little hunger as possible."—Dan Buettner, New York Times bestselling author of The Blue ZonesThe Obesity Code helped thousands of people lose weight naturally.The Hunger Code will help thousands more lose weight—and keep it off—in an era of weight‑loss drugs and ultra-processed foods…without counting calories.For generations, we've accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?With the food industry's reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:Physical HungerEmotional HungerSocial HungerDr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight‑loss drugs.

Vad ska man äta? Det är frågan som nästan alla böcker om bantning är inriktade på.
Hur ska man låta bli att äta? Det är frågan som nästan alla undviker, fastän den är helt avgörande.
Att under perioder avstå från att äta det vill säga att fasta är nämligen en central faktor för att både kunna gå ned i vikt och för att sedan kunna behålla den.
I Allt om fasta får du veta allt du behöver veta om den uråldriga hälsokuren. Boken tar bland annat upp:
- Varför fasta är så effektivt för viktnedgång.
- Varför fasta är så gynnsamt för hälsan.
- Varför fasta fungerar för vissa, men inte för andra.
- Vilka olika fastatyper som kan praktiseras.
- Vad man ska tänka på när man inleder en fasta.
- Hur man undviker potentiellt negativa följder.
Jason Fung är läkare och chef för en klinik i Toronto, Kanada, som behandlar fetma och typ 2-diabetes med hjälp av bland annat olika former av fasta. Han har tidigare utgivit böckerna Fetmakoden: Nyckeln till varaktig viktnedgång (2017) och Diabeteskoden: Att förebygga och bota typ 2-diabetes naturligt (2018).

'Cognitive Dissident is an evocative, often sad, but properly fascinating story' Bob Stanley, Saint EtienneCognitive Dissident may begin in the music biography tradition, but it quickly becomes something deeper. Borne out of years of conversation and collaboration between Matt Johnson (the creative force behind THE THE) and writer Jason Wood (Executive Director at the BFI), it expands into a work that is philosophical, cultural, and socio-political in scope.The story traces Johnson's childhood growing up above one of East London's most famous pubs, his early international success in music, followed by his sudden disappearance for decades. Then in 2017, The Inertia Variations project brought about an extraordinary creative rebirth, leading to THE THE's return: The Comeback Special World Tour, live album and film, the release of Ensoulment - their first new album in 25 years - and the acclaimed Ensouled World Tour. Along the way, it illuminates Johnson's evolution from the post-punk DIY scene to his many collaborations with producers, musicians, and cultural icons, as well as the influence of literature, art, and cinema that has always shaped his vision.Through these conversations with Matt Johnson - a working-class auto-didact who achieved success and ultimately career control on his own terms - this book by extension is also a meditation on family, friendship, creativity, conservation, gentrification, geopolitics, love and loss.'Matt Johnson will always be the intrepid London boy with a music soul & and the man of many worlds with a writer's heart' Johnny Marr

Innovation doesn't just happen. You need to lead it. Discover the three critical roles leaders must play in driving—and scaling—innovation.Constant tech disruption. Unrelenting economic volatility. Radically shifting demographics and work norms. More than ever, we need to innovate amid these daunting global challenges. But do we have the leadership it takes to make this innovation happen successfully?As preeminent leadership scholar Linda Hill, Harvard researcher Emily Tedards, and former Microsoft innovation executive Jason Wild show in this powerful book, there are indeed exemplary leaders to learn from—and the authors present their stories in fascinating detail, not only igniting your imagination but providing instructive and inspiring models to follow. Hill's award-winning book Collective Genius began the crucial task of showing that successful innovation doesn't just happen—it needs to be led. Genius at Scale breaks new ground, showing how moving from generating new ideas to actually scaling them involves cocreation—collaborating, experimenting, and learning with others both inside and beyond the boundaries of the organization. This requires three distinct types of leadership:Leader as Architect: shaping culture and capabilities for cocreationLeader as Bridger: building partnerships across teams and organizationsLeader as Catalyst: activating and cultivating movements across ecosystemsThe authors vividly profile these three types of leaders with individuals from all kinds of companies—from Mastercard, Pfizer, and Procter & Gamble to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Sampark Foundation, and ANA spinoff avatarin—who illustrate the mindset, skills, and digital savvy needed for leading in a world more uncertain and challenging than ever before.Genius at Scale provides an essential guide to mastering the art and practice of innovation for any current or aspiring leader.

From Yale professor and bestselling author of How Fascism Works, a searing confrontation with the authoritarian right's attacks to undo a century of work to advance social justice action on race, gender, sexuality and class.Combining historical research with an in-depth analysis of our modern political landscape, Erasing History issues a dire warning for the world: the worst fascist movements of humanity's past began in schools; the same place so many of today's right-wing political parties have trained their most vicious attacks.Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Vladimir Putin, Turkey's Recip Erdogan, and Argentina's Javier Milei have all reached the same conclusion: if you want to roll back the clock on civil rights, equity and inclusion, a great place to start is in schools.Yale professor Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the right's tactics and traces their inspirations and funding back to some of the most dangerous ideas of human history. He shows that hearts and minds are won in our schools and universities - and that governments are currently ill-prepared to do the work of uprooting fascist policies being foisted upon our children through school boards, in courtrooms, and in the boardrooms of the organisations trusted to train teachers and create the materials they'll share with their students.Deeply informed and urgently needed, this book is a vibrant call to action for lovers of democracy worldwide.

** SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 2025 **** A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, GUARDIAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST, PROSPECT AND BBC HISTORY**A thrilling and unprecedented account of the radicalism and political extremism that gripped the 1970s – a seismic decade that transformed the modern world.'A fabulously gripping read' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, The Times Books of the Year'Brilliant ... An astonishing window not just into the origins of modern terrorism but also into our own age' RORY STEWART‘Extraordinary … told with cool authority and a novelist's eye for detail' RORY CARROLL, author of Killing ThatcherIn the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang. United by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and ‘Western imperialism’, they unleashed a series of audacious attacks that brought governments to their knees and glued the world to their tv screens.Drawing on decades of research, recently declassified government files, secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. Through the perpetrators’ eyes – and of the unrelenting agents who hunted them down – he uncovers a dark, complex world of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to change at any cost.Pitching us into these tumultuous times, The Revolutionists reveals how a campaign led by secular leftist revolutionaries gave way to a far more lethal movement of conservative religious fanaticism that would dominate the decades to come. It is impossible to understand the world today without reading this book.'A book that historians will be profiting from for many decades to come' TOM HOLLAND‘As compelling as the best of spy thrillers’ FERGAL KEANE, BBC Correspondent and author of The Madness'Riveting' LINDSEY HILSUM, International Editor, Channel 4 News
