Wasteland
Avui -5% en Llibres

Franklin-Wallis, Oliver

When we throw things ‘away’, what does that actually mean? Where does it go, and who deals with it when it gets there? In Wasteland, award-winning journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on an eye-opening journey through the global waste industry. From the mountainous landfills of New Delhi to Britain’s overflowing sewers, from hollowed-out mining towns in the USA to Ghana’s flooded second-hand markets, we meet the people on the frontline of our waste crisis – both those being exploited, and those determined to make a difference. On the way, we discover the corporate greenwashing that started the recycling movement, the dark truth behind our second-hand donations, and come face to face with the 10,000-year legacy of our nuclear waste.Both shocking and hopeful, Wasteland is the timely and ultimately human story at the heart of an urgent global issue.

Budapest Twilight
Avui -5% en Llibres

García Prado, Luis

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a new regime emerged in Hungary that bears striking resemblances to the long-gone one-party communist system. The return to power of Viktor Orbán, who became the champion of ultra-nationalist populism, degraded the Hungarian institutions to the point of turning a young democracy into a thinly disguised autocratic regime. In this personal chronicle, Luis G. Prado, who began visiting Budapest more than two decades ago and, falling in love with the Hungarian capital, moved to live there with his family, asks himself whether the time has come to leave Hungary. Is the political evolution towards authoritarianism in Hungary irreversible? Will the Orbán regime ever find its final form? How did it reach this point in a member state of the European Union, which is a club of democracies, no less?

David Hockney. My Window
Avui -5% en Llibres

Werner, Hans

Cuando David Hockney descubrió el iPhone como medio artístico, se abrieron posibilidades totalmente nuevas para su arte. Hizo sus primeros dibujos digitales la primavera de 2009, describiendo el paisaje matutino con líneas anchas y deslumbrantes colores directamente en una pantalla que ofrecía matices sutiles como expresiones de pura luz sin mezclas. Después, en 2010, Hockney empezó a trabajar con un iPad. Gracias a la pantalla más grande, amplió su repertorio artístico y permitió una interacción aún más compleja de luz, línea y color.Cada imagen de este libro capta un momento fugaz visto a través de una ventana de la casa de Hockney en Yorkshire: desde el vibrante amanecer y el cielo lila de la mañana hasta las apacibles impresiones nocturnas o la repentina llegada de la primavera. Detalles fascinantes revelan gotas en los cristales de las ventanas, luces distantes en la noche, reflejos en jarrones, o una abundante y variada vegetación en el alféizar. En 120 dibujos realizados entre 2009 y 2012, seleccionados y secuenciados por el propio artista, experimentamos el paso del tiempo a través de los ojos de David Hockney.Este libro de artista, que apareció por primera vez en una exclusiva edición firmada, vuelve ahora en tirada ilimitada y con un generoso formato XL que muestra las impresiones de Hockney en brillante resolución. Así que ahora es la ocasión perfecta para hacer caso al consejo del crítico del Times sobre este libro: ''Si quiere que David Hockney le regale un ramo de flores, esta es su oportunidad.''

The climate book
Avui -5% en Llibres

Thunberg, Greta

We still have time to change the world. From Greta Thunberg, the world's leading climate activist, comes the essential handbook for making it happen.You might think it's an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There is hope - but only if we listen to the science before it's too late.In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts - geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists, engineers, economists and mathematicians, historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders - to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried?We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.
