Napísal som túto knihu, aby som vysvetlil, prečo to zašlo až tak ďaleko a zároveň ponúkol nápady, akoproblém riešiť. Chcem ľuďom pomôcť pochopiť vážnosť a naliehavosť situácie a vysvetliť, čo sa stane,ak sa nič nezmení. Predísť ešte väčšej katastrofe môžeme len vtedy, ak budeme mať realistický pohľadna prítomnosť i budúcnosť.“Týmito slovami uvádza svoju knihu autor Graeme Maxton, donedávna generálny tajomník Rímskeho klubu.Od prvej správy Rímskeho klubu (Limity rastu) v roku 1972 sa hospodárska politika štátov, pred ktorouvedci varovali, v ničom zásadnom nezmenila – ostala závislá od rastu spotreby neobnoviteľných prírodnýchzdrojov a spôsobila obrovskú deštrukciu životného prostredia. Konzumná civilizácia sa tak dostala dosituácie, keď vzájomná synergia globálnych problémov znemožňuje ďalšie pokračovanie vývoja ľudstva.Ľudí čaká radikálne odlišná budúcnosť, než na akú ich tradične pripravuje rodina, školský systém, médiáa reklama.Kniha ponúka orientáciu v kríze dnešného sveta a naznačuje systémové riešenia.Nemecké vydanie (október 2018) v rebríčkoch bestsellerov Amazon a Spiegel.

„Na prvý pohľad hlavný problém zmeny klímy predstavujú skleníkové plyny. Sú však len symptómom. V jadre klimatickej krízy je sociálny problém... Klimatická zmena sa dá korigovať iba ak zmeníme naše správanie.“ Z tejto pozície analyzuje autor Graeme Maxton, ešte nedávno generálny tajomník Rímskeho klubu, systémové príčiny krízy našej civilizácie, aby sa tak dostal k systémovým riešeniam. Ide teda o viac ako len redukciu uhlíka v atmosfére. Za ničením planetárneho ekosystému musíme vidieť dominantný systém kultúry, ktorý podporuje a priam núti ľudí do organizovaného drancovania prírody. Takéto nastavenie nedokážu zmeniť individuálne akcie, ani apelovanie na uvedomelosť ľudí. Navyše, rozpad ekosystémov a narušenie klímy sú už v takom stupni, že pomôže len okamžitá, skutočne účinná záchranná akcia. Jej nevyhnutnou podmienkou je radikálna zmena ekonomického a politického systému v globálnom rozsahu. „Ako sme sa dostali do tejto situácie, aké dôsledky môžeme očakávať a čo by sme mali ako jednotlivci a spoločnosť urobiť – práve o tom je táto kniha.“

In Anti/Vax, Bernice L. Hausman challenges the widespread perception of vaccine skepticism shaped by media, celebrities, and internet misinformation. She explores other motivations behind vaccine hesitancy, including distrust of pharmaceutical companies and the belief that illness plays a role in good health. Seeking to reframe the conversation, she shows that when resistance to vaccination is portrayed as scientific illiteracy, denial of scientific facts, or simply as irrational, we lose opportunities to understand many people's real concerns. Anti/Vax reveals that resistance to vaccination consolidates a number of cultural issues - from critiques of medicalization to concerns about government overreach - and raises questions about public health norms. Researched and published before the Covid-19 pandemic, Hausman's rich exploration of the cultural themes animating vaccine skepticism continues to illuminate controversies over vaccination today.

„Dokumentární“ thriller nominovaný na Man Booker Prize a přeložený do více než dvanácti jazyků se tváří jako soubor „nalezených“ listin pojednávajících o vyvraždění jedné rodiny na skotském venkově v roce 1869 a následném soudu, který zkoumá, zda byl pachatel při spáchání činu příčetný, anebo se propadl do šílenství. Napínavé líčení je navíc vynikajícím pokusem rozlišit tyto dva stavy lidské mysli a také historickým esejem o tom, jak se v kriminalistice začaly uplatňovat poznatky psychiatrie a psychologie zločinu, doplněným o humorné přiblížení tehdy módní pseudoteorie degeneracionismu a dědičnosti zločinné povahy. Graeme Macrae Burnet (1967) je skotský prozaik žijící v Glasgow; nějakou dobu pobýval i v Česku. Upozornil na sebe výraznou prvotinou, mystifikační detektivkou Zmizení Adele Bedeauové (česky Argo 2018). Druhý román, Jeho krvavé dílo, sklidil obrovský úspěch u čtenářů „Ďábelsky čtivé.“ The Guardian

Further Facets of Wuthering Heights is a follow-up to Facets of Wuthering Heights (Matador, 2018). The book consists of nineteen of Graeme Tytler’s essays, originally published in the journal Brontë Studies over the years. Each of the essays is a critical discussion of one particular aspect of Emily Brontë''s masterpiece, based on a close reading of the text. This second collection continues to draw attention to Emily''s remarkable versatility as a novelist by pointing up again the skill with which she has constructed the plot, the inventiveness with which she has created an astonishing variety of complex characters, and the brilliance with which she has made structural use of her central themes. And although Wuthering Heights is famous above all for its extraordinary love story, these essays explore deeper meanings and shades of the plot, characters and even props, to open the eyes of the reader who will perhaps experience a new, surprising enjoyment of the novel.
