Vegan Love - David Bez - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

A go-to plant-based vegan cookbook with 100 delicious and satisfying recipes, each with a time promise All too often, vegan main courses are hijacked either by replacement ‘meats’ and ‘fish’ in an attempt to reinvent/veganize classic dishes or by carb-heavy pizza and pasta that doesn’t appeal to those who are gluten sensitive or who want to lose weight.

Many also offer alternative suggestions (brown rice or buckwheat instead of quinoa, for example), and be accompanied by a QR code that will link to an online video.

Operation Jihadi Bride - John Carney - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

A thrilling and highly newsworthy military adventure in the burning rubble of Islamic State. Would you turn your back on a teenage Jihadi bride and her innocent children? ''Jihad isn''t a war. It''s an objective. An aberration. If there are young women with children, lost boys... If they are trapped in that hell and we can get them out, don''t we have a duty to do so? Every person we can bring back is living proof that Islamic State is a failure.'' Ex-British Army Soldier, John Carney, ran a close protection operation in Iraq for oil executives when he was asked by the family of a young Dutch woman to extract her from the collapsing Islamic State in Syria. Hearing first-hand of the shocking living hell of tricked naive young girls, many from the West, trapped, sexually abused and enslaved by ISIS, he knew only one thing - he had to get them out. Armed with AK-47s and 9mm Glocks, he launched a daring, dangerous and deadly operation to free as many as he could. With a small band of committed Kurdish freedom fighters, backed by humanitarian NGOs, and feeding intel to MI6, Carney and his men went behind enemy lines in the heart of the Syrian lead storm, risking their lives to deliver the women and their children to the authorities, to de-radicalisation programmes and fair trials. Gripping, shocking and thought-provoking, Operation Jihadi Bride takes the complex issue of the Jihadi brides head-on - a vital read for our troubled times.

Riding Out - Simon Parker - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

"A truly inspiring journey that celebrates the healing power of adventure. A must-read." - Levison Wood "Wonderfully relatable on so many levels. Simon''s wanderlust, mental roller coaster and reactions to a fast-changing world had me enthralled in his journey, but very much reflecting on my own over the past few years. A brilliantly crafted book which holds a mirror up to the world we live in." - Mark Beaumont "Simon''s cycle ride around his own country is a fine demonstration that adventure and transformation begins on your own doorstep." - Alastair Humphreys The remarkable and inspirational true story of how one man battled grief and anxiety, one pedal stroke at a time, on a 3,500-mile adventure around Britain In March 2020, as Britain entered its first lockdown, Simon Parker''s life fell apart; his travel journalism career vanished overnight and shortly afterwards he received the tragic news that a close friend had died. With a long-suppressed anxiety disorder starting to rear its head, he turned to the only therapies he knew and trusted: travel and exercise. Setting off on his bike from the northernmost point of Shetland with only a sleeping bag and a camping stove, Simon would end up cycling 3,427 miles around Britain. En route, he would meet hundreds of resilient Britons, who were all, in their own way, riding out the storm just like he was. Even in his gloomiest moments he began to see that a chink of light was never too far away. Riding Out is a story of optimism and hope, and a ground-level portrait of Britain as it transforms from a country in crisis to a nation on the mend. From Shetland to the Scillies, Dover to Durness, Simon learns that life''s sharpest corners are best navigated at the gentle pace of a bicycle.

It's Always Summer Somewhere - Felix White - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

***** A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK & SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER "Felix White''s beautifully, elegantly and passionately written book reminds me why I love cricket so much. And reading, come to that." - Stephen Fry "The love of cricket is both communal and individual. Felix has a wonderful knack of evoking both in a book full of life, joy and resilience." - Gideon Haigh "Whether you love cricket or are still confused by the rules of the game, you''ll love this. Felix''s writing is warm and witty. A joy to read." - Cariad Lloyd Felix White, for reasons often beyond him, has always been deeply in love with cricket. His passion for the game is at the fore on the BBC ''s number one cricket podcast and 5Live show, Tailenders, which he co-presents with Greg James and Jimmy Anderson. It''s Always Summer Somewhere is his funny, heartbreaking and endlessly engaging love letter to the game.Felix takes us through his life growing up in South West London and describes how his story is forever punctuated and given meaning by cricket. Through his own exploits as a slow left arm spinner of ''lovely loopy stuff'', to the tragic illness of his mother, life with The Maccabees and his cricket redemption, Felix touches on both the comedic and the tragic in equal measure. Throughout, there''s the ever-present roller coaster of following the England cricket team. The exploits of Tufnell (another bowler of ''lovely loopy stuff''), Atherton, Hussain et al, are given extra import through the eyes of a cricket-obsessed youth. Felix meets them at each signposted moment to find out what was really behind those moments that gave cricket fans everywhere sporting memories that would last forever, sending the book into an exploration of grief, transgenerational displacement and how the people we''ve known and things we''ve loved culminate and take expression in our lives. It''s Always Summer Somewhere is an incredibly honest detail of a life lived with cricket. It offers a sense of genuine empathy and understanding not just with cricket fans, but sports and music fans across the world, in articulating our reasons for pouring so much meaning into something that we simply cannot control. Culminating in the heart-stopping World Cup Final in 2019, the book finally answers that question fans have so often asked... what is it about this game?

I was gripped from the first page." - Iain Dale, Broadcaster "With this powerful book, Nina Schick has done us all a great public service...It''s your civic duty to read it." - Jamie Susskind, author of Future Politics "Gripping, alarming and morally vital." - Ian Dunt, Host of Remainiacs Podcast Deep Fakes are coming, and we are not ready. Advanced AI technology is now able to create video of people doing things they never did, in places they have never been, saying things they never said. In the hands of rogue states, terrorists, criminals or crazed individuals, they represent a disturbing new threat to democracy and personal liberty. Deep Fakes can be misused to shift public opinion, swing Presidential elections, or blackmail, coerce, and silence individuals. And when combined with the destabilising overload of disinformation that has been dubbed ''the Infocalypse'', we are potentially facing a danger of world-changing proportions. Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is International Political Technology Advisor Nina Schick''s stark warning about a future we all need to understand before it''s too late. Deep Fake technology at its most insidious can currently be seen in the BBC drama series The Capture.

My Mother, Munchausen's and Me - Helen Naylor - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

As seen on This Morning There was a time when I loved my mother. It''s shocking to imply that I stopped loving her because mothers always love their children and always do their best for them. Mothers are supposed to be good. But my mother wasn ''t good. Ten years ago, Helen Naylor discovered her mother, Elinor, had been faking debilitating illnesses for thirty years. After Elinor''s self-induced death, Helen found her diaries, which Elinor wrote daily for over fifty years. The diaries reveal not only the inner workings of Elinor''s twisted mind and self-delusion, but also shocking revelations about Helen''s childhood.Everything Helen knew about herself and her upbringing was founded on a lie. The unexplained accidents and days spent entirely on her own as a little girl, imagining herself climbing into the loft and disappearing into a different world, tell a story of neglect. As a teenager, her mother''s advice to Helen on her body and mental health speaks of dangerous manipulation.With Elinor''s behaviour becoming increasingly destructive, and Helen now herself a mother, she was left with a stark choice: to collude with Elinor''s lies or be accused of abandoning her. My Mother, Munchausen''s and Me is a heart-breaking, honest and brave account of a daughter unravelling the truth about her mother and herself. It''s a story of a stolen childhood, mental illness, and the redemptive power of breaking a complex and toxic bond. What readers are saying about My Mother, Munchausen''s and Me : '' An absolute roller coaster ride of emotions!!!! ... heartbreaking ... clear your schedules as you won''t be able to put it down . It will leave you absolutely shocked ... If you read one biography this year make sure this is the one!!! ... I LOVED it .'' Bookworm86 ''I cannot even.
