Den 6 augusti 1945 faller atombomben över Hiroshima. Minst 60 000 människor mister livet, förmodligen långt fler. Men för Richard Flanagans far, som är krigsfånge i ett arbetsläger i Japan, betyder bomben överlevnad. I "Fråga 7" försöker Richard Flanagan formulera ett svar på den moraliska paradox som historien väcker. Utan Hiroshima hade han aldrig funnits, men bakom varje fråga väntar en ny: utan en roman av H.G. Wells från 1914 hade bomben kanske inte uppfunnits – fysikern Leó Szilárd fick idén efter att ha läst H.G. Wells roman. Flanagans sökande utvecklas till ett slags litterär kärnreaktion, som försöker bringa reda i den omöjliga ekvation som är livet. "Fråga 7" är en oförglömlig och ojämförlig historia – om liv och öde, kolonialism och arv – från en av vår tids mest betydande internationella författare."Det är en fantastiskt rik skildring av enskilda liv och stor historia, med ett språk som når in i läsarsjälen tack vare Niclas Hvals perfekta översättning. Prisbelönt och hyllad i den engelskspråkiga världen – DN:s kritiker håller med: detta är årets bästa bok." DN Kultur”'Fråga 7', ljuvligt översatt av Niclas Hval, är en makalös liten roman med ett språk som rör sig med en sådan precision mellan verkligheten och fiktionen att den får nästan all annan prosa att framstå som full av tillfälliga ord, 404-fel och döda URL-länkar." Rasmus Landström, Aftonbladet"Det är otroligt starkt…" Jonas Eklöf, TV4"…hur sjutton har jag tidigare kunnat missat det här författarskapet?" Torbjörn Flygt, Sydsvenskan

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER"In Do Hard Things, Steve Magness beautifully and persuasively reimagines our understanding of toughness. This is a must-read for parents and coaches and anyone else looking to prepare for life's biggest challenges."—Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers and host of the Revisionist History podcastFrom beloved performance expert, executive coach, and coauthor of Peak Performance Steve Magness comes a radical rethinking of mental toughness and what it means to achieve our high ambitions in the face of hard things.Toughness has long been held as the key to overcoming a challenge and achieving greatness, whether it is on the sports field, at a boardroom, or at the dining room table. Yet, the prevailing model has promoted a mentality based on fear, false bravado, and hiding any sign of weakness. In other words, the old model of toughness has failed us.Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, rebuilds our broken model of resilience with a new definition of inner strength grounded in the latest science and psychology. In Do Hard Things, Magness teaches us how we can work with our body – how experiencing discomfort, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action can be the true indications of cultivating such resilience. He offers four core pillars to cultivate such resilience: Pillar 1: Ditch the Façade, Embrace RealityPillar 2: Listen to Your BodyPillar 3: Respond, Instead of React Pillar 4: Transcend Discomfort Smart and wise all at once, this life-changing self-help book flips the script on what it means to be resilient. Drawing from mindfulness, military case studies, sports psychology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, he provides a roadmap for navigating life’s challenges, overcoming performance anxiety, and achieving the kind of high performance that makes us happier, more successful, and, ultimately, better people.

FROM THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS'Wonderfully refreshing . . . A must read' Thomas Piketty In this revolutionary book, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. From immigration to inequality, slowing growth to accelerating climate change, we have the resources to address the challenges we face but we are so often blinded by ideology.Original, provocative and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times offers the new thinking that we need. It builds on cutting-edge research in economics - and years of exploring the most effective solutions to alleviate extreme poverty - to make a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. A much-needed antidote to polarized discourse, this book shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

FOREWORD BY AUDREY GOLDEN, AUTHOR OF I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SPEAKHit So Hard is a memoir of renewal and hope; a window onto the 90s Seattle grunge scene, and a testament to the enduring power of the music Patty helped create as drummer in Hole with Courtney Love. With a brand new introduction by Audrey Golden to cast a new light on the book today, and published for the first time in the UK as part of White Rabbit's Deep Cuts series, Hit So Hard documents her life in the band, battle with addiction and descent into homelessness on the streets of LA; and her rewarding path to sobriety and happiness.'Though Hit So Hard is ultimately a deeply personal story, it's also the story of one of the most successful bands of the '90s: Hole...Schemel describes her years with the band with the same unflinching honesty and eye for telling detail that she brings to all parts of her life' LA Weekly'Not a book one should approach lightly or 'just' for the behind the scenes tales. If you want them, you'll certainly get them, but they're not why you should read...[Schemel's] voice is an engaging one throughout, honest but not tendentious, often vivid in her sense of exact detail'The Quietus

Hårdare kan ingen vara är ett blandband i bokform. Elva av hårdrockens bästa låtar guidar oss genom de årtionden då en ny musikgenre tog form, muterade, och spreds som en löpeld över världen. Detta är berättelsen om hur den hårda rocken ruskade om allt i sin väg, bröt mot konventioner, stämplades som farlig och förändrade liv.
Magnus Dahlstedt och Mathias Henrysson varvar personliga minnen med historiska exposéer, där hårdrockens rottrådar spåras bakåt i tiden och vidare in i våra dagar. Vad var det egentligen som skapade hårdrockens mystik och gav den en så central plats i så många människors liv? Resultatet är en berättelse som inte bara handlar om hårdrocken och dess inbitna fans, utan också om samhället igår, idag och imorgon.

Sometimes life doesn't have to be harder than it is. That's pretty much it, really. We just keep forgetting it. The Art of Taking It Easy is a gentle reminder that a simpler way of living is still possible. The book is part meditation guide, part life philosophy, part love letter to easy living, and part argument that the counterculture kids were onto something real, even if the execution was sometimes a bit of a mess. Drawing on years of searching (twenty of them within Buddhism), a life lived across fields, forests and library shelves, encounters with people from every conceivable corner of the world, and a healthy skepticism toward anyone who tells you to optimize yourself, Elian D. Florentine makes the case for a more honest, less complicated way of moving through life.

Bank robberies should run like clockwork, right? If your name’s Parker, you expect nothing less. Until, that is, one of your partners gets too greedy for his own good. The four-way split following a job leaves too small a take for George Uhl, who begins to pick off his fellow heisters, one by one. The first mistake? That he doesn’t begin things by putting a bullet in Parker. That means he won’t get the chance to make a second. One of the darkest novels in the series, this caper proves the adage that no one crosses Parker and lives.

By the time Richard Stark sat down to write "Deadly Edge" in 1971, he'd been chronicling the adventures of his antihero, Parker, for nearly a decade. But it turns out he was just warming up: the next three "Parker" novels would see Stark crank everything up a notch - tightening the writing, heightening the violence, and, most of all, hardening the deadly heister at the books' heart. "Deadly Edge" kicks things off by bidding a brutal adieu to the 1960s: Parker robs a rock concert, but the heist goes sour, and he finds himself - and his woman, Claire - menaced by a pair of sadistic, drug-crazed hippies. Slayground turns the hunter into prey, as Parker gets trapped in a shuttered amusement park, besieged by a bevy of local mobsters. He's low on bullets - but, as anyone who's crossed his path knows, that definitely doesn't mean he's defenseless. Finally, in Plunder Squad, job after job disintegrates into failure and violence, and a rare act of mercy from earlier in the series comes back to bite Parker - hard. These books by Stark reveal a master craftsman working at the height of his powers, and they deserve a place on the bookshelf of every fan of crime fiction.

The sixteenth Parker novel, "Butcher's Moon" is more than twice as long as most of the master heister's adventures and absolutely jammed with the action, violence, and nerve-jangling tension readers have come to expect. Back in the corrupt town where he lost his money, and nearly his life, in Slayground, Parker assembles a stunning cast of characters from throughout his career for one gigantic, blowout job: starting - and finishing - a gang war. It feels like the Parker novel to end all Parker novels, and for nearly twenty-five years that's what it was. After its publication in 1974, Donald Westlake said, 'Richard Stark proved to me that he had a life of his own by simply disappearing. He was gone.' And readers waited. But nothing bad is truly gone forever, and Parker's as bad as they come. According to Westlake, one day in 1997, 'suddenly, he came back from the dead, with a chalky prison pallor' - and the resulting novel, "Comeback", showed that neither Stark nor Parker had lost a single step. Knocking over a highly lucrative religious revival show, Parker reminds us that not all criminals don ski masks - some prefer to hide behind the wings of fallen angels.Backflash followed soon after, and it found Parker checking out the scene on a Hudson River gambling boat. Parker's no fan of either relaxation or risk, however, so you can be sure he's playing with house money - and he's willing to do anything to tilt the odds in his favor. Featuring three new introductions by Westlake's close friend and writing partner Lawrence Block, these classic Parker adventures deserve a place of honor on any crime fan's bookshelf.
