Surviving Climate Anxiety - Thomas Doherty - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When Dr Thomas Doherty published his groundbreaking paper ''The Psychological Impacts of Global Climate Change'' in American Psychologist over a decade ago, he predicted a perfect storm brewing for a mental health crisis of global proportions.

Doherty, a pioneer in this crucial, fast-growing field, recognizes that this is a very real crisis as well as an existential one. The magnitude of our fear is so great, that many of us simply don''t know how to process it.In his vital debut, Surviving Climate Anxiety: Coping Healing and Thriving on a Changing Planet, Doherty will share his unique step-by-step psychological approach to understanding and healing our environmental anguish, a process he has been teaching practitioners and patients for over 15 years. Surviving Climate Anxiety will allow readers to view climate change in new and crucial ways, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to orient themselves in the truth of our current climate crisis, to be able to manage their own reactions to it, and plan for a hopeful future of positive personal growth.

Paradise City - Joe Thomas - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Brilliant'' The Times Mario Leme is a low-ranking detective in the Sao Paulo civil police. Every day on the way to work he sets off early and drives through the favela known as Paraisopolis - Paradise City. It''s a pilgrimage: his wife Renata was gunned down at an intersection here a year ago, the victim of a stray bullet in a conflict between drug dealers. One morning, parked near the place where Renata died, he sees an SUV careen out of control and flip over. The driver Leo is killed, but before his body is removed, Leme is sure he sees bullet wounds. Leo''s death wasn''t an accident, he was murdered. Soon, his girlfriend turns up dead too. And if they were killed deliberately, perhaps Renata was too . . . Leme finds himself immersed further and further in the dark underbelly of Brazilian society, as corruption seeps from the highest to the lowest echelons, and the devastating truth about Renata begins to emerge.PRAISE FOR JOE THOMAS''Brilliant'' The Times ''Feverish energy'' Guardian ''Wonderfully vivid'' Mail on Sunday ''Sophisticated, dizzying'' GQ ''Vivid and visceral'' The Times ''Superbly realised vivid and atmospheric'' Guardian ''Original'' Mail on Sunday ''A stylish, atmospheric treat an inspired blend of David Peace and early Pinter'' Irish Times ''Sparse, energetic, fragmented prose'' The Spectator ''Vibrant, colourful, and complex'' Irish Independent ''Stylish, sharp-witted, taut.

Gringa - Joe Thomas - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''As vibrant, colourful and complex as South America''s largest city'' São Paulo, 2013: a city at an extraordinary moment in its history. Mario Leme, a detective in the civil police, has developed a friendship with a young English investigative journalist, Ellie. When she goes to meet a contact in central São Paulo, Mario observes from the street as she walks into a building and doesn''t come out. Inside, he discovers the dead body of a young man he doesn''t recognise, and Ellie''s phone lying on the floor. Told partly from Leme''s point of view, partly from Ellie''s, Gringa takes us through five days during the redevelopment of the centre of Sao Paulo in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup. Ellie''s disappearance links characters at every level of the social hierarchy, from the drug dealers and civil and military police to the political class she witnesses the feral brutality of urban breakdown. Gringa , with shades of Don Winslow and James Ellroy, is a portrait of São Paulo in all its harshness and dysfunction, its corruption and social divisions, its kaleidoscopic dynamism, its undercurrent of derangement, and its febrile, sensual instability, executed with a deep knowledge of the city''s aPRAISE FOR JOE THOMAS ''Brilliant'' The Times ''Feverish energy'' Guardian ''Wonderfully vivid'' Mail on Sunday ''Sophisticated, dizzying'' GQ ''Vivid and visceral'' The Times ''Superbly realised vivid and atmospheric'' Guardian ''Original'' Mail on Sunday ''A stylish, atmospheric treat an inspired blend of David Peace and early Pinter'' Irish Times ''Sparse, energetic, fragmented prose'' The Spectator ''Vibrant, colourful, and complex'' Irish Independent ''Stylish, sharp-witted, taut.

Tragic Shores: A Memoir of Dark Travel - Thomas Cook - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Tragic Shores: A Memoir of Dark Travel - Thomas Cook - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''I have come to thank dark places for the light they bring to life.'' Thomas Cook has always been drawn to dark places, for the powerful emotions they evoke and for what we can learn from them. These lessons are often unexpected and sometimes profoundly intimate, but they are never straightforward. With his wife and daughter, Cook travels across the globe in search of darkness - from Lourdes to Ghana, from San Francisco to Verdun, from the monumental, mechanised horror of Auschwitz to the intimate personal grief of a shrine to dead infants in Kamukura, Japan. Along the way he reflects on what these sites may teach us, not only about human history, but about our own personal histories.During the course of a lifetime of traveling to some of earth''s most tragic shores, from the leper colony on Molokai to ground zero at Hiroshima, he finds not darkness alone, but a light that can illuminate the darkness within each of us. Written in vivid prose, this is at once a personal memoir of exploration (both external and internal), and a strangely heartening look at the radiance that may be found at the very heart of darkness.

The Consolation of Maps - Thomas Bourke - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Kenji Tanabe finds maps easier to read than people. At the elite Tokyo gallery where he works, he sells antique maps by selling the stories that he sees within their traces: their contribution to progress, their dramatic illustrations, their exquisite compasses. But no compass or cartography can guide him through the events that will follow the sudden and unexpected offer of a job in America.There, Theodora Appel runs a company that is more like a family. Brilliantly successful, beguilingly secretive, she gradually initiates Kenji into her rarefied world. Only someone like him - quiet, intensely committed and discreet - could be allowed to see beneath the surface to what his employer is hiding. Theodora has never recovered from the death of her lover, and her obsession to reclaim the past threatens them all.Moving across countries and cultures, The Consolation of Maps charts an attempt to understand the tide of history, the geography of people and the boundless territory of loss.
