Sew Your Own
What happens when a man, dazzled like most of us by hi-tech, happy to have his suits made by robots in New York, sets out to find the meaning of life? John-Paul Flintoff's improbable and very funny book charts a journey through call centres and allotments, rat-catching and Savile Row tailors, to some kind of enlightenment. It is also a book about a man who learns how to crochet - and how you might too. John-Paul Flintoff is a bit of a one-off: a man who embarks on a spiritual pilgrimage by outsourcing his life to Bangalore, then hooks up with Mormons and Buddhists (well, Richard Gere), on a quest for truth and fulfilment. His journey is like a twenty-first century Candide, learning that life...

The Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy
Did you know that the carbon impact of producing ten cheeseburgers is the same as one passenger travelling 167 miles on a London bus? Or that high levels of air pollution lead to over 40,000 premature deaths and 6 million sick days each year? But maybe the future isn’t as bleak as it seems. What if we told you that by turning down your thermostat by one degree, you could save 320 kg of carbon dioxide annually? And that renewables are already generating a sizeable amount of energy around the world each year? In The Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy, experts from around the globe explore how sustainable technology – everything from solar panels to wind turbines and electric vehicles – is getting cheaper, more effective and more available, and how by making everyday changes, we could see the ‘big switch’ in the coming decade. Presenting the latest innovations in the renewable energy and automotive industries, this book busts myths, provides suggestions and solutions for how to go green, explores how countries around the world are already improving the quality of life of their residents, and looks at where clean energy will take us next.
The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible

This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power. By fully embracing and practicing this principle of interconnectedness—called in...
De wereld veranderen

What Doesn't Kill You
‘A stellar cast of writers and thinkers’ Nathan Filer An explorer spends a decade preparing for an expedition to the South Pole; what happens when you live for a goal, but once it’s been accomplished, you discover it’s not enough? A successful broadcast journalist ends up broke, drunk and sleeping rough; what makes alcohol so hard to resist despite its ruinous consequences? A teenage girl tries to disappear by starving herself; what is this force that compels so many women to reduce their size so drastically? In this essay collection, writers share the struggles that have shaped their lives – loss, depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, identity and others. But as they take you on a journey to the darkest recesses of their mind, the authors grapple with challenges that haunt us all.
Hogyan változtassuk meg a világot?
Mindannyian szeretnénk egy jobb világban élni, de gyakran úgy érezzük, nincs beleszólásunk a dolgok alakulásába. John-Paul Flintoff számos történelmi és személyes példát sorakoztat fel, hogy szembesítsen azzal, nem csak olyan nagy emberek tudnak változásokat előidézni, mint Gandhi vagy Teréz anya. Mi is felszólalhatunk, ha valami nem tetszik. Ez a gyakorlatias könyv segít, hogy úrrá legyünk a tehetetlenség érzésén és a közönyön, és megtaláljuk, mely területeken és milyen módszerekkel érhetünk el változást.
