Economic growth is the religion of the modern world. It promises a solution to the most basic drama of our human existence: wanting what we donâ ™t have. But we live in a time when the frenzied pursuit of economic growth is jeopardizing the planetâ ™s viability and our very survival as a species. How did we get to this point in human history? How did we allow the pursuit of growth to become the apotheosis of human development?To answer these questions, the distinguished economist Daniel Cohen takes us on a journey to understand human desire and the different registers on which it has expressed itself throughout history. He brings his panoramic grasp of the subject to bear on the key stages of social and economic development, from the Neolithic revolution to the digital age. The ideas of the great economists â “ from Adam Smith and Karl Marx to Joseph Schumpeter and John Maynard Keynes â “ are situated in their historical contexts and explained clearly and concisely. The result is a triumph of ambition and brevity: a history of the economy in 100 pages. This book â “ the final work written by Daniel Cohen â “ will appeal to anyone interested in the economy and in the tension between a limited world and unlimited desires that lies at the heart of the great challenges we face today.

Legendární špion a restaurátor uměleckých děl Gabriel Allon konečně opustil post šéfa izraelské rozvědky a usadil se v Benátkách – jediném místě, kde našel klid. Celé dny tráví toulkami ulicemi a kanály města postaveného na vodě a utíká před démony minulosti. Když ho však výstřední londýnský obchodník s uměním Julian Isherwood požádá, aby prošetřil okolnosti nálezu a výhodného prodeje staletého mistrovského díla, Gabriel se ocitá ve smrtící hře na kočku a myš, v níž nic není takové, jak se zdá.Allon brzy zjistí, že dotyčný obraz – portrét neznámé ženy, jehož autorem je údajně Antoine van Dyck – je téměř jistě zdařilá kopie. V touze najít záhadného padělatele a odhalit tak miliardový podvod mezi elitou světa umění vymyslí jednu z nejpropracovanějších lstí své kariéry. Má-li však plán uspět, musí se Gabriel stát největším falzifikátorem umění, jakého kdy svět viděl.Portrét neznámé ženy je výpravou do temného světa, kde bezohlední obchodníci s uměním denně podvádějí své klienty a bohatí investoři považují velká umělecká díla jen za další komoditu, kterou lze koupit a prodat se ziskem. Od elegantního úvodu až po nečekané zvraty v závěru je tento román skutečným mistrovským dílem. Je také dalším důkazem toho, že Daniel Silva jako autor špionážních románů a thrillerů nemá konkurenci.

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery celebrating the return of a stolen self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh. But when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a baffling murder investigation, he finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new adversary.The victim is Charlotte Blake, a celebrated professor of art history from Oxford who spends her weekends in the same seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a diabolical serial killer who has been terrorizing the Cornish countryside. But there are a number of telltale inconsistencies, including a missing mobile phone.And then there is the mysterious three-letter cypher she left behind on a notepad in her study. Gabriel soon discovers that Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth more than a $100 million, and he takes up the chase for the painting as only he can – with six Impressionist canvases forged by his own hand and an unlikely team of operatives that includes a world-famous violinist, a beautiful master thief, and a lethal contract killer turned British spy. The result is a stylish and wildly entertaining mystery that moves at lightning speed from the cliffs of Cornwall to the enchanted island of Corsica and, finally, to a breathtaking climax on the very doorstep of 10 Downing Street.Supremely elegant and suspenseful, A Death in Cornwall is Daniel Silva at his best – a dazzling tale of murder, power, and insatiable greed that will hold readers spellbound until they turn the final page.

In The Story of the Human Body, Daniel Lieberman, Professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard, shows how we need to change our world to fit our hunter-gatherer bodies This ground-breaking book of popular science explores how the way we use our bodies is all wrong. From an evolutionary perspective, if normal is defined as what most people have done for millions of years, then it s normal to walk and run 9 -15 kilometres a day to hunt and gather fresh food which is high in fibre, low in sugar, and barely processed. It s also normal to spend much of your time nursing, napping, making stone tools, and gossiping with a small band of people. Our 21st-century lifestyles, argues Daniel Lieberman, are out of synch with our stone-age bodies. Never have we been so healthy and long-lived - but never, too, have we been so prone to a slew of problems that were, until recently, rare or unknown, from asthma, to diabetes, to - scariest of all - overpopulation.

For his part, Gabriel spends his days wandering the streets and canals of the watery city, parting company with the demons of his tragic, violent past.But when the eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems.Gabriel soon discovers that the work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake. To find the mysterious figure who painted it-and uncover a multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world-Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he seeks: the greatest art forger the world has ever known.

Three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter savagely beaten to death. They were all British. So begins one of the most notorious murder cases in French history. Sir Jack Drummond was a senior advisor to the British government, a household name who was respected and admired. His fame made the case a cause célèbre in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummond s life and death remain unanswered. In this bold new investigation, Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith strip away the prejudice and propaganda to reveal a grave miscarriage of justice. A light is shone on Drummond s secret life in the shadows of the Cold War, painting a portrait of an enigmatic man who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be, and recasting one of the twentieth century s most notorious murders in a fascinating and important new light.
