The Fighter - Craig Davidson - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Fighter - Craig Davidson - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

When a pair of fighters step into an illegal ring, sometimes only one walks out. This is the story of two men from radically different backgrounds, but with one thing in common. For Rob, it’s a question of talent and duty. For Paul, it’s one of fear. In the bloody world of bare-knuckle boxing the stakes are mercilessly high. Testing the difficult relationships between fathers and their sons, The Fighter explores the lengths to which these men are driven for self-knowledge, and the depths they will plumb in order to belong.

Fans - Michael Bond - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Fans takes the reader on a journey through a constellation of fandoms, and along the way demonstrates some fundamental truths about the human condition. Part behavioural study, part entertainment, at its heart, Fans is a story of collectives, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions.Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero.In Fans , Michael Bond explores the subject through the lens of social identity theory, a set of ideas used by social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why groups have such a profound effect on human culture.

''A celebration of human idiosyncrasy and of our talent for building shared meaning and solidarity out of the strangest material'' – TLS Fans takes the reader on a journey through a constellation of fandoms, and along the way demonstrates some fundamental truths about the human condition.

Wedding Treasure - David Williams - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Wedding Treasure - David Williams - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Marton Manor, in rural Herefordshire, makes a romantic setting even for a hastily organised wedding. And it is a quickly-arranged ceremony indeed that Fleur Jarvas is demanding — even though marrying before her twenty-first birthday means forfeiting a large inheritance. Naturally all the guests, including Mark Treasure and his wife Molly, are dying to know why . . . But that is only the first mystery of a sinister country weekend. The real question is why the long-straying father of the bride shows up uninvited . . . As the wedding-eve rituals gather pace, so does the tension. And when the next day dawns, it is not to bells and confetti but to two unexplained deaths, a pointed disappearance — and a testing case for Treasure. ‘Clues and red herrings jostle agreeably; Mark Treasure sorts ’em out, bankable as ever’ Sunday Times ‘A tale well told. The ebullient Mr Williams in top form’ Financial Times ‘An intriguing financial mystery . . . the murder is wonderfully, whimsically complicated, and the plot, ably worked out, is played for laughs’ Chicago Sun-Times

Slow Burn City - Rowan Moore - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Slow Burn City - Rowan Moore - Bog - Pan Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

With a new introduction for the paperback.London is a supreme achievement of civilization. It offers fulfilments of body and soul, encourages discovery and invention. It is a place of freedom, multiplicity and co-existence. It is a Liberal city, which means it stands for values now in peril. London has also become its own worst enemy, testing to destruction the idea that the free market alone can build a city, a fantastical wealth machine that denies too many of its citizens a decent home or living. In this thought-provoking, fearless, funny and subversive book, Rowan Moore shows how London’s strength depends on the creative and mutual interplay of three forces: people, business and state. To find responses to the challenges of the twenty-first century, London must rediscover its genius for popular action and bold public intervention. The global city above all others, London is the best place to understand the way the world’s cities are changing. It could also be, in the shape of a living, churning city of more than eight million people, the most powerful counter-argument to the extremist politics of the present.

Now, bestselling author of The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee, explains how engineers and geeks are changing the world of business – with extraordinary results.A new model is being pioneered by geeks; a radical new mindset that has shifted the paradigm entirely on what a business can – and should – be.
