The revolution has been televized. From The Sopranos to Stranger Things, the shows we watch - and the ways we watch them - have been transformed over the past fifty years.

2024 || Hardcover || Alex Edmans || Veltman Distributie Import Books

He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist...

2023 || Hardcover || Darian Leader || Veltman Distributie Import Books

A delightfully thought-provoking study of why we have sex, from award-winning psychoanalyst Darian Leader

Bodies aren't just sticks that make fire when you rub them together, and the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany the highs of sexual excitement show us tha...
