When Tim Parks came across a radical new theory of consciousness, he set on a quest that moves through one sparkling encounter after another to arrive at the deepest of questions: what stuff exactly is consciousness made of And where is it Inside or out 'An exceptionally witty and compelling look at the nature of consciousness. Parks is a delight to read' Iain McGilchrist'[It has] wit, humanity and insight. Parks is an entertaining companion throughout' Mail on Sunday 320 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A deeply personal collection. and provocative and moving meditation on friendship, sex and blackness,' Guardian'In its cutting compassion, Homie is as much a celebration of loved ones' lives as it is a lament for their loss, equally a war cry for kinship and the burial dirge after the battle' Amanda GormanA mighty anthem about the saving grace of friendship, Danez Smith's highly anticipated collection Homie is rooted in their search for joy and intimacy in a time where both are scarce. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family - blood and chosen - arrives with just the right food and some redemption.Part friendship diary, part bright elegy, part war cry, Homie is written for friends: for Danez's friends, for yours.'This is a book full of the turbulence of thought and desire, piloted by a writer who never loses their way' New York Times 96 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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.The last decade has seen the News industry face unprecedented change. The sometimes-century old institutions which were once the bastions of truth have had their dominance eroded by vast innovations in viral technology and, as millennial appetites force the industry to choose between principles of objectivity and impartiality, the survivors must confront the horrifying cost of their success: sexual scandal, fake news, the election of President Trump and the shaking of democracy.Taking us behind the scenes at four media titans - BuzzFeed, VICE, The New York Times and The Washington Post - Abramson reveals the human drama behind this shift: one involving deal-making tycoons, thrusting reporters, hard-bitten editors, egomaniacs, bullshitters, provocateurs and bullies, with some surfing and others drowning in the breaking wave of change. 'A cracking, essential read. Abramson knows where most of the bodies are buried and is prepared to draw the reader a detailed map' Guardian 544 pp. Deutsch.
