Fat, Dumb, and Ugly: The Decline of The Average American

by Peter Strupp

1230.00  140*140mm  154

 

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

The world's lone superpower...supreme guardian of democracy...and home of the blithely uninformed and epidemically obese. Welcome to America -- pull up a chair, click on the tube, and grab a donut. Concerned Citizen Peter Strupp is shocked and bothered by what he sees. It seems we're not as thin, smart, and good-looking as we like to think. Packed with real facts and statistics, Fat, Dumb, and Ugly takes readers on an eye-opening, laugh-out-loud, and at times horrifying tour of the numbers that shape our country:

Percentage of adults in the United States who are overweight: 64.5

Percentage of Americans who believe they have actually spoken with Satan: 5

Percentage of voters for whom Saturday Night Live and MTV are primary sources of information about presidential candidates: 16

Average number of pink lawn flamingos sold annually in America: 250,000

A wickedly hilarious and addictive cultural snapshot of our nation of conspicuous consumers, fast-food fanatics, and dumbed-down dolts, Fat, Dumb, and Ugly casts a revealing spotlight on John Q. Public, the average American -- and it's not always pretty.

 

 

 

 

作者简介:

Peter Strupp has lived in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction since his upbringing in small-town Wisconsin.

The Sacred Art of Stealing

by Christopher Brookmyre

0658.00  125*195mm  410

 

 

 

内容简介:

Their eyes met across a crowded room. She was just a poor servant girl and he was the son of a rich industrialist. Er, no, this is a Christopher Brookmyre novel, although the eyes meeting across a crowded room part is true. Where it differs from the fairy tales is that the room in question was crowded with hostages and armed bank-robbers, and his eyes were the only part of him she could see behind the mask. He is an art-thief par excellence and she is a connoisseur of crooks. Her job is to hunt him to extinction; his is to avoid being caught and he also has a secret agenda more valuable than anything he might steal. There are risks he can take without jeopardising his plans. He can afford to play cat-and-mouse with the female cop who's on his tail; it might even arguably be necessary. What he can't afford is to let her get too close: he could could end up in jail or, even more scary, he could end up in love .

 

 

 

 

作者简介:

Christopher Brookmyre was born in Glasgow in 1968, and has worked as a journalist in London, Los Angeles and Edinburgh, contributing to Screen International, the Scotsman, the Evening News and The Absolute Game. In 1976 he became a St Mirren supporter. He remains unsure whether this was constructive.

His first novel, Quite Ugly One Morning was published in 1996 to popular and critical acclaim, winning the inaugural First Blood Award for the best first crime novel of the year. This success was followed up with the bestsellers Country of the Blind, Not the End of the World, One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night, Boiling a Frog, which won the 2000 Sherlock Award for the Best Comic Detective, and A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away.

The Time Traveler’s wife

by Audrey Niffenegger

0290.12  165*230mm  518

 

 

 

内容简介:

A spellbinding love story about a man caught by the whims of time and the woman who must wait for his return.

This is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences amusing, unpredictable, and devastating.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is a story about fate, hope and belief, and more than that, it’s about the power of love to endure beyond the bounds of time.
