Phantom Architecture - Philip Wilkinson - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Phantom Architecture - Philip Wilkinson - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

'60 fantastical structures described and illustrated in this colourful and highly entertaining book.' The Sunday Times 'If you can’t think of a present for the armchair architect in your life – well, problem solved' The Daily Telegraph 'These ghostly architectural echoes entrance the reader.' The Field ‘This is a lavishly illustrated book of wonder for the dreamer in your life’ The Metro A skyscraper one mile high, a dome covering most of downtown Manhattan, a triumphal arch in the form of an elephant: some of the most exciting buildings in the history of architecture are the ones that never got built. These are the projects in which architects took materials to the limits , explored challenging new ideas , defied conventions , and pointed the way towards the future . Some of them are architectural masterpieces , some simply delightful flights of fancy . It was not usually poor design that stymied them – politics, inadequate funding, or a client who chose a ‘safe’ option rather than a daring vision were all things that could stop a project leaving the drawing board. These unbuilt buildings include the grand projects that acted as architectural calling cards , experimental design s that stretch technology, visions for the future of the city, and articles of architectural faith . Structures likeBuckminster Fuller’s dome over New York or Frank Lloyd Wright’s mile-high tower can seem impossibly daring. But they also point to buildings that came decades later, to the Eden Project and the Shard. Some of those unbuilt wonders are buildings of great beauty and individual form like Etienne-Louis Boullée’s enormous spherical monument to Isaac Newton ; some, such as the city plans of Le Corbusier , seem to want to teach us how to live; some, like El Lissitsky’s ‘horizontal skyscrapers’ and Gaudí’s curvaceous New York hotel , turn architectural convention upside-down; some, such as Archigram’s Walking City and Plug-in City , are bizarre and inspiring by turns. All are captured in this magnificently illustrated book.

The Little Book of Brexit Bollocks - Tom Mitchelson - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

'Truly brilliant' - Matthew Parris, Times columnist ‘Weepingly funny and painfully accurate’ - Rachel Johnson ‘Lethally witty’ - Tim Walker, New European​ If any event in recent British history has spawned more bollocks than Brexit, it is hard to remember when. Now, in a successor volume to the perennial bestsellers The Little Book of Complete Bollocks and The Little Book of Management Bollocks , comes the definitive and hilarious insight into what politicians really mean when they talk about Brexit. We know all the phrases - ' Orderly Departure ', ' Crashing Out ', ' Remoaners ' and many more - but in The Little Book of Brexit Bollocks all is finally made crystal clear by authors Alistair Beaton and Tom Mitchelson. They reveal which notorious politician devised the term ' Ever Closer Union ', and what he was actually talking about; one daily newspaper branded three High Court judges ' Enemies of the People ', but this book reveals who the true enemies are. So whether you believe Nigel Farage is a national hero or a national embarrassment, this book will finally bring some cheer and relief from the agony of Brexit as we head into the Transition Period (which in the end may outlast us all).

The Book of Magic - Alice Hoffman - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

‘Full of Hoffman’s bewitching and lucid prose and vivid characters, The Book of Magic is ultimately about the very human magic of family and love and actions that echo through generations… it casts a spell’ —Matt Haig THE STUNNING, UNFORGETTABLE CONCLUSION TO THE BELOVED PRACTICAL MAGIC SERIES For centuries, the Owens family has been cursed in matters of love. When beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the sound of the deathwatch beetle, she knows that it is a signal. She has finally discovered the secret to breaking the curse, but time is running out. She has only seven days to live. Unaware of the family’s witchcraft lineage and all it entails, one of the young sisters of the new Owens generation has fallen in love. As the curse strikes once again, her love’s fate hangs in the balance, spurring three generations of Owens to venture back to where it all began and use their gifts to break the spell that has marked all their lives. But doing so threatens to destroy everything the family has fought so hard to protect. How much will they give up for the greatest gift of all? 'This page-turning Atlantic-crossing caper is, above all, a paean to family love... These fast fairytales for grown-ups are full of enchanting comfort – more escapist than curse' — Sunday Times 'A satisfying tale springs from a slow beginning, packing in escapist fable, real-world savvy and incidents galore' — Mail on Sunday 'Delightfully witchy... Alluring on its own, it's also a satisfying end to a timeless saga' — New York Times Book Review PRAISE for ALICE HOFFMAN ‘Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature’ Toni Morrison ‘I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers – from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war. But most of all, this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader.’ Jodi Picoult ‘In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of sexual desire, women’s solidarity in the face of strife, and the magic that’s quietly present in our day-to-day living. Put The Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffman’s extraordinary body of work. I was blown away.’ Wally Lamb ‘Alice Hoffman takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things.’ Amy Tan ‘Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel’ Joseph Heller 'Oh, what a book this is! Hoffman’s exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us – it is a glorious experience.' Elizabeth Strout

Full of quirky nuggets of information and trivia’ - Sun ‘Joyously bizarre facts in a new book from a QI brainbox’ - Daily Mail Drawn from a former BBC QI Elf's lifetime’s search for the weird and the wonderful, The Most Interesting Book in The World is a miscellany of things too strange to be true, yet somehow are.

Nowhere else will you find woven together the stories of the religious leader who attempted to build a robot messiah from a dining table, the anti-gravity ‘air-walkers’ of Victorian London, and the pirates who rode sheep; or practical advice for correctly exorcising a house and casting ancient love spells, along with recent scientific discoveries like the mould that can navigate a maze and that humans can glow in the dark. A unique hybrid of encyclopaedia, trivia and drunken-bar raconteur, all stitched together in one colossal Frankenstein volume packed full of images and photographs - this is the ultimate must-read for anyone looking to tickle the cortex of their curiosity.

The Little Book of Big Ethical Questions - Susan Liautaud - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Should you read your teenager’s diary? Would you return the extra change? What are the ethics of social media? Is buying organic food and products a more ethical choice? Tired of small talk? Often a single question can spark a meaningful, fun exchange – like, ‘Would you apply for a job you know your friend is applying for?’ Or ‘Should voting be compulsory?’ Or what about police using facial recognition technology? Questions like these spur us to consider: What have I done? Is there one correct answer? And ultimately: How can ethics help us navigate these situations to find the best outcome for ourselves and others? An ethicist who advises leaders and organisations worldwide, Susan Liautaud asks intriguing questions that encourage lively discussion across a range of subjects, from family and friends to health and technology, to politics, work and consumer choices. The Little Book of Big Ethical Questions presents some of today’s most thought-provoking ethical questions in an easy-to-discuss Q&A format, walking you through how you might approach each situation to find the best answer for you .
