'Magical, beguiling... Carries echoes of Toni Morrison's Beloved' Guardian A Vulture 'Book We Can't Wait to Read in 2022' They had not lost anyone that year, or the ones they had lost were not worth remembering... Set in the fictional Kenyan town of Mapeli, Things They Lost tells the story of four generations of women, each haunted by the mysterious curse that hangs over the Brown family. At the heart of the novel is Ayosa Ataraxis Brown, twelve years old and the loneliest girl in the world. Okwiri Oduor's stunningly original debut novel sings with Kenyan folklore and myth as it traces Ayosa's fragile, toxic relationship with Nabumbo Promise, her mysterious and beguiling mother who comes and goes like tumbleweed: lost, but not quite gone.

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss, old fat furry cat-puss, wake up, wake up and look at this thing that I bring... Bagpuss, created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, is no ordinary cat. Bagpuss, the sleepy old cloth cat, lives in a shop owned by Emily, where lost and broken things are brought to be "mended" or given new stories. When Emily brings an object to Bagpuss, he and his friends wake up, ready to discover its secrets. Professor Yaffle shares his wisdom, Madeleine sings, Gabriel plays his banjo, and the mice add their fun ideas. Together, they make the shop a place where forgotten things come to life in the most magical way. Emily brings a small figure of a giant to the shop. Bagpuss and his friends are eager to learn about the giant's story. Professor Yaffle explains the history of giants in folklore, while Madeleine and Gabriel sing about a giant who isn't as scary as he looks. The mice, ever playful, add their own fun twist to the story. We are reminded not to judge others by their appearance, with a mix of music, fun, and Bagpuss's signature magic.

From the award-winning Mauri Kunnas, Finland's most celebrated children's author, a hilarious picture book which follows the adventures of a sleepwalking goat. Mr. Clutterbuck, a mild-mannered goat, sleepwalks his way into unimaginable adventures: one night the lead singer of a rock band, the next an entrepreneur, Mr. Clutterbuck soon finds himself the hero of his town. A book that will send readers of all ages into fits of laughter. Mr. Clutterbuck is blissfully unaware of his reputation as the busiest and loudest sleepwalker in town. Meek and mild-mannered when awake, at night Mr. Clutterbuck seeks thrills and adventures. Often the accidental instigator of chaos, Mr. Clutterbuck soon becomes the lead singer of a rock band, an entrepreneur, a disco king, and, eventually, the hero of his town. Goodnight, Mr. Clutterbuck is sure to captivate readers of all ages as we wonder what kind of situation Mr. Clutterbuck will find himself in next. With a lively tapestry of characters, including a motorcycle gang of cats and crocodiles, a hippo in charge of a sausage factory, and an ill-tempered bull at a theme park, Mauri Kunnas playfully shows what can happen when you step outside your comfort zone.

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 'Punchy, funny and invigorating ... Pinker is the high priest of rationalism' Sunday Times 'If you've ever considered taking drugs to make yourself smarter, read Rationality instead. It's cheaper, more entertaining, and more effective' Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind In the twenty-first century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that discovered vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, quack cures and conspiracy theorizing? In Rationality, Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are simply an irrational species - cavemen out of time fatally cursed with biases, fallacies and illusions. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened and enriched our lives and set the benchmarks for rationality itself. Instead, he explains, we think in ways that suit the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning we have built up over millennia: logic, critical thinking, probability, causal inference, and decision-making under uncertainty. These tools are not a standard part of our educational curricula, and have never been presented clearly and entertainingly in a single book - until now. Rationality matters. It leads to better choices in our lives and in the public sphere, and is the ultimate driver of social justice and moral progress. Brimming with insight and humour, Rationality will enlighten, inspire and empower. 'A terrific book, much-needed for our time' Peter Singer

Weithin inspiriert von dem Verlust eines langjährigen Freundes und dem anhaltenden Einfluss eines temperamentvollen und charismatischen Vaters, ist "Bloodline Maintenance" das mit Spannung erwartete neue und siebzehnte Studioalbum des dreifach mit einem GRAMMY®-prämierten Singer-Songwriters/Musikers/Produzenten Ben Harper. Ein ungemein persönliches Soul-Album und das erste nicht-instrumentale Soloalbum mit neuen Songs seit 2016. Auf 'Bloodline Maintenance' wendet Harper den Ideenreichtum des Hip-Hop auf bestehende Paradigmen des Soul, Blues und Jazz an und konfiguriert das Genre neu, a new black Americana, und setzt so seine lange Geschichte als einer der stärksten Protestsänger seiner Generation fort. Schon im Alter von nur 21 Jahren tourte Harper mit Blueslegende Taj Mahal. In den Folgejahren machte er sich bei Kritikern wie auch Fans weltweit einen Namen, wurde für sein eigenes genreübergreifendes Werk insgesamt siebenmal für einen GRAMMY® nominiert (den er auch dreimal gewann), war gleichzeitig als Produzent tätig für u.a. Mavis Staples, Rickie Lee Jones und Ziggy Marley und kollaborierte mit einer Vielzahl von Künstlern, die von John Lee Hooker, Charlie Musselwhite und Jack Johnson bis hin zu Ringo Starr, Keith Richards und zuletzt Harry Styles reichen.

This audiobook narrated by Kelly Burke offers a short guide to living well by understanding better what you really value—and what to do when your goals conflict What do you want out of life? To make a lot of money—or work for justice? To run marathons—or sing in a choir? To have children—or travel the world? The things we care about in life—family, friendship, leisure activities, work, our moral ideals—often conflict, preventing us from doing what matters most to us. Even worse, we don't always know what we really want, or how to define success. Blending personal stories, philosophy, and psychology, this insightful and entertaining book offers invaluable advice about living well by understanding your values and resolving the conflicts that frustrate their fulfillment. Valerie Tiberius introduces you to a way of thinking about your goals that enables you to reflect on them effectively throughout your life. She illustrates her approach with vivid examples, many of which are drawn from her own life, ranging from the silly to the serious, from shopping to navigating prejudice. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of interconnectedness, reminding us of the profound influence other people have on our lives, our goals, and how we should pursue them. At the same time, the book offers strategies for coping with obstacles to realizing your goals, including gender bias and other kinds of discrimination. Whether you are changing jobs, rethinking your priorities, or reconsidering your whole life path, What Do You Want Out of Life? is an essential guide to helping you understand what really matters to you and how you can thoughtfully pursue it.
