{"row_id":1,"name":"Nätti tyttö","description":"´Nätti tyttö´ tittelinä on ehkä hieman harhaanjohtava, sillä yhtä hyvin kirjassa ihaillaan komeita miehiäkin. Laajaan henkilögalleriaan kuuluu urheilijoita, kirjailijoita, taiteilijoita, tiedemiehiä ja jopa yksi ”yöperhonenkin”, itselleen eutanasian syntymäpäivälahjaksi suoma 26-vuotias kaunotar. Henkilökuvat on piirretty muutamin nopein piirroin, ja tavoitteena on ollut keskittyä olennaiseen. Kaikki henkilöt liittyvät joko löysemmin tai tiiviimmin tekijän omaan elämään; ja jos siinä elämässä johonkin ihastutaan, ylisanoja ei juuri kaihdeta, ei tosin itseironiaakaan. ”Olen luonnostani sankarinpalvoja”, kirjoittaa yksi kirjassa vilahtavista sankarihahmoista, urheilukirjailijana sotien välisenä aikana Yhdysvalloissa mainetta niittänyt Paul Gallico. Samaa voi sanoa ´Nätin tytön` kirjoittajastakin. Sankareiden seurassa viihtyy, ellei muuten niin mielikuvituksen avulla. Kerronta ´Nätissä tytössä´ on samantapaista kuin ennenkin: rohkeasti rönsyilevää ja vapaasti assosioivaa, vallatonta liikkumista ajassa ja paikassa.

{"row_id":2,"name":"The Idea of Socialism: Towards a Renewal","description":"The idea of socialism has given normative grounding and orientation to the outrage over capitalism for more than 150 years, and yet today it seems to have lost much of its appeal. Despite growing discontent, many would hesitate to invoke socialism when it comes to envisioning life beyond capitalism. How can we explain the rapid decline of this once powerful idea? And what must we do to renew it for the twenty-first century? In this lucid, political-philosophical essay, Axel Honneth argues that the idea of socialism has lost its luster because its theoretical assumptions stem from the industrial era and are no longer convincing in our contemporary post-industrial societies. Only if we manage to replace these assumptions with a concept of history and society that corresponds to our current experiences will we be able to restore confidence in a project whose fundamental idea remains as relevant today as it was a century ago ? the idea of an economy that realizes freedom in solidarity. The Idea of Socialism was awarded the Bruno Kreisky Prize for the Political Book of 2015.

Toinen joutui perustamaan yrityksen voidakseen edelleen työskennellä av-kääntäjänä. Kolmas koki uraputkessa roikkumisen syövän liikaa ainoasta elämästään. Reittejä itsensä työllistämiseen on monia. Työmarkkinoiden murroksessa on vaivihkaa syntynyt kolmas, pitkään unohdettu työmarkkinaosapuoli työnantajien ja palkkatyöläisten väliin jäävät itsensätyöllistäjät. Heidän etuaan ei aja kukaan niissä pöydissä, joissa yhteiskuntasopimuksista neuvotellaan. Vaikka itsensätyöllistäjiä on jo yli 150 000, ei järjestelmä vieläkään ymmärrä ryhmän olemassaoloa ja määrällistä kasvua. Päinvastoin: vuoden 2016 alussa voimaan tullut lakimuutos teki kaikista epäsäännöllisistä toimeksiannoista tuloja saavista ihmisistä yrittäjiä vastoin monen omaa tahtoa. Millaista on elämä työmarkkinoiden rintamalinjojen välissä, ja miltä tuntuu taistella päivittäin omien oikeuksien puolesta?

{"row_id":17,"name":"The Global Expatriate's Guide to Investing: From Millionaire Teacher to Millionaire Expat","description":"Exploit your offshore status to build a robust investment portfolio Most of the world's 200 million expats float in stormy seas. Few can contribute to their home country social programs. They're often forced to fend for themselves when they retire. The Global Expatriate's Guide to Investing is the world's only book showing expats how to build wealth overseas with index funds. Written by bestselling author, Andrew Hallam, it's a guide for everyone, no matter where they are from. Warren Buffett says you should buy index funds. Nobel prize winners agree. But dangers lurk. Financial advisors overseas can be hungry wolves. They don't play by the same set of rules. They would rather earn whopping commissions than follow solid financial principles. The Global Expatriate's Guide To Investing shows how to avoid these jokers. It explains how to find an honest financial advisor: one that invests with index funds instead of commission paying windfalls. You don't want an advisor? Fair enough. Hallam shows three cutting edge index fund strategies. He compares costs and services of different brokerages, whether in the U.S. or offshore. And he shows every nationality how to invest in the best products for them. Some people want stability.

{"row_id":18,"name":"Yeats's Poetic Codes","description":"A new approach to Yeats's poems, concentrating on the reading experience itself. By picking out the distinctive 'codes' of Yeats's poetic practice, such as his use of dates and place names, characteristic vocabulary, and stylistic preferences, Grene's study will send readers back to the work with a new sense of understanding and enjoyment. - ;Nicholas Grene explores Yeats's poetic codes of practice, the key words and habits of speech that shape the reading experience of his poetry. Where previous studies have sought to decode his work, expounding its symbolic meanings by references to Yeats's occult beliefs, philosophical ideas or political ideology, the focus here is on his poetic technique, its typical forms and their implications for the understanding of the poems. Grene is concerned with the distinctive stylistic signatures of the Collected Poems: the use of dates and place names within individual poems; the handling of demonstratives and of grammatical tense and mood; certain nodal Yeatsian words ('dream', 'bitter', 'sweet') and images (birds and beasts); dialogue and monologue as the voices of his dramatic lyrics. The aim throughout is to illustrate the shifting and unstable movement between lived reality and transcendental thought in Yeats, the embodied quality of his poetry","publisher":{"name":"Oxford University Press"},"bookformat":"EBook","author":{"name":"Grene, Nicholas"},"isbn":"9780191552946","offers":{"price":"100.20","pricecurrency":"EUR"},"numberofpages":null,"inlanguage":"en","bookedition":"1","genre":"Poetry","keywords":"POETRY \/ General POE000000","copyrightyear":2008.0,"page_url":"https:\/\/www.ellibs.com\/book\/9780191552946\/yeatss-poetic-codes"}

Jotta näin kävisi, monien ehtojen täytyy toteutua kirjailijan ja lukijan välillä. Ehdot ovat nyt toiset kuin vuosikymmen sitten. Tässä kirjassa puhutaan kotimaisesta kaunokirjallisuudesta. Ammattilaiset kertovat, mitä käsikirjoituksen ja kirjan eri vaiheissa tehdään teoksen saattamiseksi lukijalle. He kertovat, mikä on 1990-luvun jälkeen muuttunut kirjailijan työssä, kustantamossa, kirjakaupassa, kirjastossa, kirjallisuuden opetuksessa, kritiikissä, kirjallisuuslehdissä ja koko instituutiossa. Kirja tarjoaa myös konkreettisia ehdotuksia tulevan varalle. Kirja antaa tietoa ja ajateltavaa kaikille, jotka lukevat ja niille, jotka työnään tai harrastuksenaan haluavat luettaa muitakin.

{"row_id":24,"name":"Can Neuroscience Change Our Minds?","description":"Neuroscience, with its astounding new technologies, is uncovering the workings of the brain and with this perhaps the mind. The 'neuro' prefix spills out into every area of life, from neuroaesthetics to neuroeconomics, neurogastronomy and neuroeducation. With its promise to cure physical and social ills, government sees neuroscience as a tool to increase the 'mental capital' of the children of the deprived and workless. It sets aside intensifying poverty and inequality, instead claiming that basing children's rearing and education on brain science will transform both the child's and the nation's health and wealth. Leading critic of such neuropretensions, neuroscientist Steven Rose and sociologist of science Hilary Rose take a sceptical look at these claims and the science underlying them, sifting out the sensible from the snake oil. Examining the ways in which science is shaped by and shapes the political economy of neoliberalism, they argue that neuroscience on its own is not able to bear the weight of these hopes.
