Breakthrough: How One Teen Innovator Is Changing the World
￥105.17
For the first time, teen innovator and scientist Jack Andraka tells the story behind his revolutionary discovery. When a dear family friend passed away from pancreatic cancer, Jack was inspired to create a better method of early detection. At the age of fifteen, he garnered international attention for his breakthrough: a four-cent strip of paper capable of detecting pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancers four hundred times more effectively than the previous standard.Jack's story is not just a story of dizzying international success; it is a story of overcoming depression and homophobic bullying and finding the resilience to persevere and come out. His account inspires young people, who he argues are the most innovative, to fight for the right to be taken seriously and to pursue our own dreams. Do-it-yourself science experiments are included in each chapter, making Breakthrough perfect for STEM curriculum. But above all, Jack's memoir empowers his generation with the knowledge that we can each change the world if we only have the courage to try.

Planet of Viruses
￥105.95
The past year has been one of viral panic-panic about viruses, that is. Through headlines, public health warnings, and at least one homemade hazmat suit, we were reminded of the powerful force of viruses. They are the smallest living things known to science, yet they can hold the entire planet in their sway.A Planet of Viruses is Carl Zimmer's eye-opening look at the hidden world of viruses. Zimmer, the popular science writer and author of National Geographic's award-winning blog The Loom, has updated this edition to include the stories of new outbreaks, such as Ebola, MERS, and chikungunya virus; new scientific discoveries, such as a hundred-million-year-old virus that infected the common ancestor of armadillos, elephants, and humans; and new findings that show why climate change may lead to even deadlier outbreaks. Zimmer's lucid explanations and fascinating stories demonstrate how deeply humans and viruses are intertwined. Viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, are responsible for many of our most devastating diseases, and will continue to control our fate for centuries. Thoroughly readable, and as reassuring as it is frightening, A Planet of Viruses is a fascinating tour of a formidable hidden world.
Ancient Shore
￥105.95
Born in Australia, Shirley Hazzard first moved to Naples as a young woman in the 1950s to take up a job with the United Nations. It was the beginning of a long love affair with the city. The Ancient Shore collects the best of Hazzard's writings on Naples, along with a classic New Yorker essay by her late husband, Francis Steegmuller. For the pair, both insatiable readers, the Naples of Pliny, Gibbon, and Auden is constantly alive to them in the present.With Hazzard as our guide, we encounter Henry James, Oscar Wilde, and of course Goethe, but Hazzard's concern is primarily with the Naples of our own time-often violently unforgiving to innocent tourists, but able to transport the visitor who attends patiently to its rhythms and history. A town shadowed by both the symbol and the reality of Vesuvius can never fail to acknowledge the essential precariousness of life-nor, as the lover of Naples discovers, the human compassion, generosity, and friendship that are necessary to sustain it.Beautifully illustrated by photographs from such masters as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Herbert List, The Ancient Shore is a lyrical letter to a lifelong love: honest and clear-eyed, yet still fervently, endlessly enchanted."e;Much larger than all its parts, this book does full justice to a place, and a time, where 'nothing was pristine, except the light.'"e;-Bookforum"e;Deep in the spell of Italy, Hazzard parses the difference between visiting and living and working in a foreign country. She writes with enormous eloquence and passion of the beauty of getting lost in a place."e;-Susan Slater Reynolds, Los Angeles Times?"e;The two voices join in exquisite harmony. . . . A lovely book."e;-Booklist, starred review

Dup? apari?ia monumentalei (la propriu) Istorii a literaturii rom?ne contemporane, 1941-2000, Alex ?tef?nescu este omul zilei ?n critica literar? rom?neasc?. Admirat sau pizmuit de confra?i, invitat ?i celebrat cu fast ?n ora?ele de provincie, intervievat de superbe ziariste, Alex ?tef?nescu se afl? mereu ?n centrul aten?iei, prezen?a sa ?ntr-un loc este imposibil s? treac? neobservat?.

Alex ?tef?nescu este, ?n lumea literaturii, genul de personaj care nu las? pe nimeni indiferent. Unii ?i sunt prieteni, al?ii du?mani de moarte (cei neinclu?i ?n Istorie ?i cei men?iona?i ?n emisiunea sa TV rezervat? c?r?ilor proaste, Tichia de m?rg?ritar). ?n fine, mai exist? o categorie, a celor care ?l cultiv? cu speran?a secret? c? i-ar putea intra ?n gra?ii ?i c? ?n felul acesta ?i-ar putea asigura un viitor luminos ?n literatura rom?n?. (Tudorel Urian)?Alex. ?tef?nescu este singurul critic rom?n contemporan care, metodic, confer? criticii caracteristicile unui ?act de persuasiune?.

Prin identitatea sa creatoare, acest scris dobndete o inconfundabil expresivitate literar. El poart marca cert a anvergurii canonice.“ (Marian Victor Buciu) Aura Christi a gsit limbajul n care s toarne experiene ce preau s se afle dincolo de posibilitatea articulrii discursive: prbuirea umanitii pn la nivelul la care cineva ucide cu aprobarea deplin a contiinei n numele unei idei, procesul de nlocuire a omului din om printr-un monstru. Nu statistica crimei, impresionant aa cum e ea, o intereseaz pe Aura Christi. Ea l toarn pe Dostoievski n Nietzsche pentru a face anatomia rului absolut. Rul din inima omului. Titlurile crilor sale sunt gritoare n privina geografiei lor morale: Casa din ntuneric, Sfera frigului, Cercul slbatic. n Vest, filosoful Nietzsche a fost cel care a influenat epistemologia postmodern prin deconstrucia logocentrismului. n Romnia, Nietzsche al moralei demistificate e cel care a influenat dou mini strlucite ale literaturii contemporane: Nicolae Breban i Aura Christi. Romancierul Nicolae Breban l-a ales pe un Nietzsche masculin, al voinei de putere i al sufletelor de stpni. Aura Christi a fost atras de Nietzsche al aporiilor, cel care, n Ecce homo, i suprapune pe Christ i Dionisos. Dup cum spune Aura Christi, blndeea sfrind n gheare“.

Unknown Pleasures
￥106.61
Joy Division changed the face of music. Godfathers of alternative rock, they reinvented music in the post-punk era, creating a new sound dark, hypnotic, and intense that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead, and numerous others. The story is now legendary: in 1980, on the heels of their groundbreaking debut, Unknown Pleasures , and on the eve of their first U.S. tour, the band was rent asunder by the tragic death of their enigmatic lead singer, Ian Curtis. Yet in the mere three years they were together, Joy Division produced two landmark albums and a handful of singles including the iconic anthem Love Will Tear Us Apart that continue to have a powerful resonance. Now, for the first time, their story is told by one of their own. In Unknown Pleasures , founding member and bass player Peter Hook recounts how four young men from Manchester and Salisbury, with makeshift instruments and a broken-down van, rose from the punk scene to create a haunting, atmospheric music that would define a generation. Peter talks with eye-opening candor and reflection about the suicide of Ian Curtis; the band friendships and fallouts; the evolution of their sound and image; and the larger-than-life characters who formed a vital part of the Joy Division legend, including Factory Records founder Tony Wilson and producer Martin Hannett. Told with surprising humor and vivid detail, Unknown Pleasures is the book Joy Division fans have awaited for decades.
