Alessandro Baricco - Tengeróceán
Úgy kell olvasni, mint egy kalandregényt - írja Baricco a könyvéről -, és úgy kell hallgatni mint a Tengeróceán morajlását. Sok-sok évvel, talán másfél századdal ezelőtt, hajótörést szenved egy vitorlás hajó. Legénységének és utasainak egy része megmenekül, tengernyi szenvedés árán. Egy hétszobás tengerparti kis szállodában különös vendégek gyűlnek össze. A természetben fellelhető határokat - most a tenger határait - kereső tudós; a tengert tengervízzel megörökítő festő; a titokzatos tengerész; a túlérzékenységből gyógyulást a tengernél kereső lány - a szállodát pedig egy tízéves gyerek vezeti. Mintha mindnyájan a tenger hívásának engedelmeskednének, oly véletlenül és oly szükségszerűen találkoznak e házban, mint Thronton Wilder szereplői a Szent Lajos király hídján.
Gálik Mihály - Urbán Ágnes - Bevezetés a médiagazdaságtanba
...az eddigi tapasztalatokra építve és a bolognai folyamat követelményeihez igazítva egy bevezető, de mindazonáltal átfogó jellegű művet adunk közre.
A média gazdaságtana az 1990-es évek közepe óta van jelen a magyar felsőfokú oktatásban, s az eddigi tapasztalatokra építve és a bolognai folyamat követelményeihez igazítva egy bevezető, de mindazonáltal átfogó jellegű művet adunk közre. Röviden ismertetjük a médiagazdaságtan különböző iskoláit, részletezzük és elemezzük a médiapiacok általános sajátosságait, majd bemutatjuk ezeknek a legfontosabb iparágakban való konkrét megjelenését. A tárgyalást mintegy kettébontva először a történelmileg kialakult média ágazatokat, a lapkiadást, a rádiózást és televíziózást vizsgáljuk, majd az infokommunikációs technológiák forradalma nyomán érvényesülő konvergencia hatásait vázoljuk fel a média "szép új világ"-ára. Mivel a média - akár a régi, akár az új - saját személyes világunk részévé vált napjainkra, a szerzők példák bemutatásával is érzékeltetik, amit az elmélet a maga tudományos eszközeivel próbál megragadni, leírni. A tankönyv írói egyúttal azoknak is ajánlják a munkájukat, akik ugyan nem egyetemisták, vagy netán soha nem voltak azok, csak egyszerűen érdekli őket, miként működik az az összetett, nagyhatású társadalmi ágazat, amit médiának hívunk.

Karin Slaughter - Snatched
A gripping, action-packed short story available only as an eBook—from a master of character, crime, and urgent suspense.
Will Trent, a dedicated agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for fifteen years, knows that there’s definitely such a thing as a cop’s intuition. Which is why he should have listened to his own.
While in an airport restroom at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International, Will overhears a girl’s pleading, plaintive voice: “Please, I wanna go home.” Something isn’t right here, thinks Will. He feels it in his gut. But he waits too long to act, and now the girl and the anxious, angry man she’s with have disappeared into the crowds at the busiest passenger airport in the world.
After a desperate search and with time running out, Will makes a call to his supervisor, Amanda Wagner. Will’s partner, Faith Mitchell, immediately sends out an abducted child alert. The entire airport will soon be grinding to a halt: Eighty-nine million passengers a year. Five runways. Seven concourses. Six million square feet of space that sprawled across two counties, three cities, and five jurisdictions. All shut down on a dime because Will has a hunch that he is certain is true: a girl, maybe six or seven years old, has been snatched from God knows where. And he intends to bring her back—no matter what it takes.
Includes an exclusive excerpt from Karin Slaughter’s thrilling new novel of suspense, Criminal.
