Them is an eye-opening, outrageously funny exploration of extremism, which makes both author and reader think twice about the looking-glass world of 'us' and 'them' . . . A Sunday Times bestseller and the book that launched Jon Ronson's inimitable career - with an introduction by Russell Brand. My worryingly paradoxical thought process could be summarized thus: Thank God I don't believe in the secret rulers of the world. Imagine what the secret rulers of the world might do to me if I did. What if a tiny, shadow elite rule the world from a secret room? In Them Jon Ronson sets out to find this room, with the help of the extremists - Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen - that believe in it. Along the way, he is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and witnesses international CEOs and politicians participate in a bizarre pagan ritual in the forests of northern California. 'This book is chilling and hilarious by turns.' - Independent 'A funny and compulsively readable picaresque adventure through a paranoid shadow world.' - Louis Theroux, Guardian

Nuclear power plant disasters threaten the entire planet. From so-called 'developed' Russia to Japan, USA to France; in the aftermath of an accident, thousands of people are deprived of their basic human right to health and subjected to lies and suppression of information. Workers of the nuclear power plant, people who live in that region as well as in other parts of that country, residents of close countries and even consumers from distant places who have to buy the contaminated products; every single one of them is affected. Nuclear Disasters: Chernobyl and Fukushima covers the impacts of accidents in these two nuclear power plants with more clarity since a reasonable amount of time has passed for data accuracy. Even a country as developed as Japan failed to take the first measure after a nuclear power plant accident, iodine tablet distribution, and it has already led to great consequences. A significant lesson learned from all these accidents is that, just like the global climate change, nuclear power plants concern an area larger than the jurisdiction of the state that they are built in, namely they concern every living organism on this planet. Therefore, all the people who will suffer from the negative effects have the right to resist nuclear energy regardless of whichever country a reactor is built in.

How is it possible for a tiny little bird to peck a hole in the trunk of a huge tree? With ten hits per second, and force 100 times stronger than gravity, woodpeckers are one of the most interesting and inspiring members of the bird kingdom. They use their magnificent beaks and amazing strength to hammer holes in trees -- and that's where they make their nests. Woodpecker couples are a great example of solidarity. Males and females work together to build a nest and gather food, and males share in the duty of sitting on their eggs. They provide us with an opportunity to rethink all that is around us. In this new century, libraries are full of books containing new ideas and the embracing value of solidarity. The Woodpeckers' Cooperative is a modern fairy tale about the danger of failing to prepare for winter -- as well as the importance of community and cooperation. A good children's story should catch a child's full attention. At Dixi Books, capturing a child's imagination is our priority and our promise.
