We never snacked like this and we never binged like this. We never had so many superfoods, or so many chips. We were never quite so confused about food, and what it actually is.This is a book about the good, the terrible and the avocado toast. A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat, The Way We Eat Now explains how modern food, in all its complexity, has transformed our lives and our world. To re-establish eating as something that gives us both joy and health, we need to find out where we are right now, how we got here and what it is that we share.Award-winning food writer Bee Wilson explores everything from meal replacements such as Huel, the disappearing lunch hour, the rise of veganism, the lack of time to cook and prepare food and the rapid increase in food delivery services. And Bee provides her own doable strategies for how we might navigate the many options available to us to have a balanced, happier relationship with the food we eat.

The hilarious second novel, and Sunday Times No 1 Bestseller, from author of the smash hit Why Mummy Drinks.Monday, 25 July The first day of the holidays. I suppose it could’ve been worse. I brightly announced that perhaps it might be a lovely idea to go to a stately home and learn about some history. As soon as we got there I remembered why I don’t use the flipping National Trust membership – because National Trust properties are full of very precious and breakable items, and very precious and breakable items don’t really mix with children, especially not small boys. Where I had envisaged childish faces glowing with wonder as they took in the treasures of our nation’s illustrious past, we instead had me shouting ‘Don’t touch, DON’T TOUCH, FFS DON’T TOUCH!” while stoutly shod pensioners tutted disapprovingly and drafted angry letters to the Daily Mail in their heads. How many more days of the holiday are there?Welcome to Mummy’s world… The Boy Child Peter is connected to his iPad by an umbilical cord, The Girl Child Jane is desperate to make her fortune as an Instagram lifestyle influencer, while Daddy is constantly off on exotic business trips… Mummy’s marriage is feeling the strain, her kids are running wild and the house is steadily developing a forest of mould. Only Judgy, the Proud and Noble Terrier, remains loyal as always. Mummy has also found herself a new challenge, working for a hot new tech start-up. But not only is she worrying if, at forty-two, she could actually get up off a bean bag with dignity, she’s also somehow (accidentally) rebranded herself as a single party girl who works hard, plays hard and doesn’t have to run out when the nanny calls in sick. Can Mummy keep up the facade while keeping her family afloat? Can she really get away with wearing ‘comfy trousers’ to work? And, more importantly, can she find the time to pour herself a large G+T? Probably effing not.

It's not something you can just pick up on the job.   A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper – an important copper, true – chief of police – but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador – to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run.  He has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing.

It filled me with hope’ Zadie SmithFrom one of the brightest young chroniclers of US culture comes this dazzling collection of essays on the internet, the self, feminism and politics.We are living in the era of the self, in an era of malleable truth and widespread personal and political delusion. In these nine interlinked essays, Jia Tolentino, the New Yorker’s brightest young talent, explores her own coming of age in this warped and confusing landscape.From the rise of the internet to her own appearance on an early reality TV show; from her experiences of ecstasy – both religious and chemical – to her uneasy engagement with our culture’s endless drive towards ‘self-optimisation’; from the phenomenon of the successful American scammer to her generation’s obsession with extravagant weddings, Jia Tolentino writes with style, humour and a fierce clarity about these strangest of times.Following in the footsteps of American luminaries such as Susan Sontag, Joan Didion and Rebecca Solnit, yet with a voice and vision all her own, Jia Tolentino writes with a rare gift for elucidating nuance and complexity, coupled with a disarming warmth. This debut collection of her essays announces her exactly the sort of voice we need to hear from right now – and for many years to come.

Wie schon das Titelbild verr?t, geht es in diesem Roman um Freundschaften, viel mehr noch, um den Aufbau eines ganzen Netzwerkes von Freundschaften, um sich in dieser Welt anzusichern und seine Position zu definieren. Das Buch spielt ?berwiegend in Deutschland. Dort in der kleinen Stadt Wittenberge an der Elbe wohnen Elvira und Dimmy, und sie sind die Adoptivkinder eines bekannten Industriellen, der hier Gesch?ftsf?hrer und Miteigent?mer einer gro?en Nahrungsmittelfabrik ist.. Es geht aber auch um mehr.
Tief im All gibt es intelligente Lebensformen, und ein Zufall der Geschichte will es, dass eines dieser Wesen den Weg zur Erde findet. Es beginnt sich einen neuen Lebensraum aufzubauen und findet die Hilfe von Menschen. Nun, eigentlich ist es genau umgekehrt, einige Menschen finden die Hilfe dieses au?ergew?hnlichen Gesch?pfes aus dem All, und sie werden von dem Volk der Cantara ausgew?hlt, ihre Interessen auf der Erde zu vertreten.
Genau darum geht es in diesem Band. Die Protagonisten sind 2 Jugendliche, am Anfang des Buchs 14 und 12 Jahre alt. Sie sind Mutanten, eine Verbindung aus Mensch und Cantara. Sie wissen es nur nicht. Trotzdem ist da diese Kraft des Clans der Auserw?hlten. Anfangs ist diese Kraft nicht sehr ausgebildet, aber sie lernen, und als sie mit der Familie von den USA nach Deutschland ?bersiedeln, beginnt die Bew?hrungsprobe. Neue Stadt, neue Schule, neue Cliquen, neue Sprache. Alles ist anders. Es ist nur gut, dass sie in ihren Eltern viel Unterst?tzung und Hilfe finden. Sie machen sich bald auf den Weg, um sich ein eigenes Netz aus Freunden zuzulegen, und sie besinnen sich auf die St?rken und die Kr?fte der Familie, die weit verstreut ist.
Die Cantara stellen Irina und Dimmy ihre Kraft nicht ohne die Verpflichtung auf einen ethischen Codex zur Verf?gung, und sie sorgen daf?r, dass die Kr?fte nur mit viel M?he und Schwei? antrainiert werden k?nnen. Irina und Dimmy sollen zu W?chtern des Lebens werden.
Der Band beschreibt die Jugendzeit der beiden Jugendlichen, bis zum Abitur (kurz nach dem Abitur), die vor allem davon gepr?gt ist, neue Erfahrungen zu sammeln und sich durchzusetzen. Dabei spielen auch die klimatischen Ver?nderungen auf der Welt eine bedeutende Rolle, die sich durch den Klimawandel ergeben. Sie ziehen technologische Ver?nderungen nach sich. Es gilt in dieser Welt verschiedene Werte zu bewahren, die das Zusammenleben erleichtern, wie Zuverl?ssigkeit, Verl?sslichkeit, Freundschaft, Zusammenhalt und W?rme.
Der Band ist zun?chst als e-Book erschienen. Seit Januar 2019 ist das Buchr auch als Hardcover verf?gbar.

Gretge, «mit Hexen verwandt, als Hexe verbrannt» – das ist das 17-j?hrige M?dchen Margarethe Meinken aus Westeresch am Rande der L?neburger Heide, dessen anr?hrende Geschichte in diesem Buch erz?hlt wird. Gretge wurde auf Grundlage eines Gutachtens der Universit?t Helmstedt der Hexerei f?r schuldig befunden und schlie?lich am 9. September 1664 in Rotenburg (W?mme) auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt.Der packende Roman st?tzt sich auf alle noch verf?gbaren historischen Fakten des Falles einschlie?lich der erhalten gebliebenen Prozessakten. J?rgen Hoops von Schee?el versteht es, die Welt des 17. Jahrhunderts vor den Augen des Lesers lebendig werden zu lassen, und macht sich zum wortgewandten Biographen des kurzen Lebens von Gretge. Der Leser begleitet Gretge auf ihrer bewegenden Lebensgeschichte von der Taufe bis zu ihrem schrecklichen Tod auf dem Scheiterhaufen. Hoops von Schee?el schildert eindrucksvoll und detailreich, wie Gretge den Verlauf des Hexenprozesses gegen ihre Mutter Mette, eine geborene Hoops, erlebt und dann ihren eigenen. Gretges Mutter begeht in ihrer Gef?ngniszelle, die sich nur wenige Meter von Gretges Zelle befindet, noch vor Ende des Prozesses gegen sie Selbstmord – was sie in den Augen der Beteiligten klar zur Hexe macht und auch den weiteren Prozessverlauf gegen Gretge beeinflusst. Was denkt, was f?hlt ein 17-j?hriges M?dchen in dieser ausweglosen Situation, umgeben von Menschen, die sie einerseits seit ihrer Kindheit kennen, die sie andererseits pl?tzlich als «Hexe» betrachten? Welche Hoffnung kann sie noch haben? Wie denkt sie ?ber ihre Mitmenschen, die voller Eifer, Pflichtgetreue und juristischer Akribie an diesem so unmenschlichen – und dem Wesen nach absurden – Hexenprozess gegen sie arbeiten? Was empfindet sie gegen?ber ihrem Henker, der sie f?r die von ihm vollstreckte mitleidlose Hinrichtung mitleidvoll mit dem Versprechen eines raschen Todes zu tr?sten sucht?

An uncanny, startlingly beautiful story collection steeped in the Cornish landscape, from the award-winning author of Diving Belles and Other Stories and Weathering.At the very edge of England, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the land and visitors flock in with the summer like seagulls, there is a Cornwall that is not shown on postcards.It is a place where communication cables buzz deep beneath the sand; where satellite dishes turn like flowers on clifftops, and where people drift like flotsam, caught in eddying tides. Restless children haunt empty holiday homes, a surfer struggles with the undertow of family life, a girl watches her childhood spin away from her in the whirl of a night-time fairground and, in a web of sea caves, a brother and sister search the dark for something lost.These astonishing, beguiling stories of ghosts and shifting sands, of static caravans and shipwrecked cargo, explore notions of landscape and belonging, permanence and impermanence, and the way places can take hold and never quite let go.
