George
George is the story of two lives - the private man and the public legend. Georgios Panayiotou was just eighteen when he decided to adopt the stage name of George Michael. Sometimes his two worlds would collide with shattering consequences. Bestselling biographer Sean Smith has gone back to the neighbourhoods of North London to trace the astonishing journey of a sensitive but determined boy who grew up to be one of the biggest British pop stars of all time. Along the way, he talks to those close to George, revealing the real man - funny, articulate, intelligent and generous spirited - who hid behind the powerful image he created. He reveals the complex relationship with his high-achieving Greek-Cypriot father; the unconditional love of his mother; his teenage relationships with girls; and his first tragic love affair with another man. George's career began falteringly with a schoolboy band, exploded with Wham! before he became a solo phenomenon. But at the height of his fame, the world seemed to turn against him. Smith describes his despair at losing the two people who mattered most, how he sought consolation in drugs, his notorious 'coming out' and how he ended up in jail. His health failed him and he died heartbreakingly alone on Christmas Day, 2016. Affectionate yet honest and moving, George is both a celebration of George Michael's music and a lasting tribute to a decent and much-loved man.

Manifesto for A New World Order
George Monbiot is known to millions for his newspaper commentaries, which are widely circulated on the Internet. Now in paperback, Monbiot's 'Manifesto for a New World Order' offers a plan for transforming the world into a decent place for all. All over the planet, the rich get richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster. The world is run by a handful of executives who make the most important of decisions, concerning war, peace, debt, development, and the balance of trade. Without democracy at the global level, the rest of us are left in the dark. George Monbiot shows us how to turn on the light. Emphasizing not only that things ought to change but also revealing how to change them, Monbiot develops an interlocking set of proposals that mark him as the most realistic utopian of our time. With detailed discussions of what a world parliament might look like, how trade can be organized fairly, and how underdeveloped nations can leverage their debt to obtain real change,

Ny Jord - Att Föda Världen Utan Att Sluka Planeten
Systemet för vår matförsörjning har börjat vackla. Vi plöjer och gör betesmarker av stora delar av världens yta, avverkar skog och förgiftar våra vatten. Allt för att förse en växande befolkning med mat och näring - ändå går miljontals människor hungriga. För första gången har vi möjlighet att omvandla inte bara vårt matsystem, utan hela vårt förhållande till den levande världen.George Monbiot visar i sin friskt upplyftande bok att det fortfarande finns en möjlighet att lösa problemen.Ny jord: att föda en värld utan att sluka planeten är en hisnande vision av en alternativ framtid - för matindustrin och för mänskligheten.Monbiot möter personerna som leder utvecklingen och tillsammans visar de hur de allra minsta organismerna kan hjälpa oss sluta fred med vår planet och bana väg för en tidsålder som inte präglas av utrotning, utan av återskapande. En tidsålder av nytt liv och ny jord.George Monbiot är en brittisk författare, journalist och politisk aktivist. Han är krönikör för tidningen The Guardian och har bland annat skrivit de bästsäljande böckerna Feral: rewilding the land, sea and human life, The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order och Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain. Leopard har tidigare gett ut Ur ruinera: En ny politik för en värld i kris (2017).

Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism
#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - A 'fantastic' (Mark Ruffalo), fiercely argued takedown of neoliberalism that not only defines this slippery concept but connects it to the climate crisis, poverty, and fascism--and shows us how to fight back. 'Incisive, illuminating, eye-opening--an unsparing anatomy of the great ideological beast stalking our times, often whispered about and yet never so clearly in view.'--David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology of our time. It shapes us in countless ways, yet most of us struggle to articulate what it is. Worse, we have been persuaded to accept this extreme creed as a kind of natural law. In Invisible Doctrine, journalist George Monbiot and filmmaker Peter Hutchison shatter this myth. They show how a fringe philosophy in the 1930s--championing competition as the defining feature of humankind--was systematically hijacked by a group of wealthy elites, determined to guard their fortunes and power.

'Captivating. Will change the way you think about the natural world, and your place in it' Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallIn Feral, George Monbiot, one of the world's most celebrated radical thinkers offers a riveting tale of possibility and travel in the wildHow many of us sometimes feel that we are scratching at the walls of this life, seeking to find our way into a wider space beyond? That our mild, polite existence sometimes seems to crush the breath out of us? Feral is the lyrical and gripping story of George Monbiot's efforts to re-engage with nature and discover a new way of living. He shows how, by restoring and rewilding our damaged ecosystems on land and at sea, we can bring wonder back into our lives. Making use of some remarkable scientific discoveries, Feral lays out a new, positive environmentalism, in which nature is allowed to find its own way.
