Gary White, Matt Damon: The Worth of Water: Our Story of Chasing Solutions to the World's Greatest Challenge 

From the founders of nonprofits Water.org & WaterEquity Gary White and Matt Damon, the incredible true story of two unlikely allies on a mission to end the global water crisis for good.
On any given morning, you might wake up and shower with water, make your coffee with water, flush your toilet with water—and think nothing of it.

But around the world, more than three-quarters of a billion people can’t do any of that—because they have no clean water source near their homes. And 1.7 billion don’t have access to a toilet. This crisis affects a third of the people on the planet. It keeps kids out of school and women out of work. It traps people in extreme poverty. It spreads disease.
It’s also solvable. That conviction is what brought together movie actor Matt Damon and water expert and engineer Gary White. They spent years getting the answer wrong, then halfway right, then almost right. Over time, they and their organization, Water.org, have found an approach that works. Working with partners across East Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, they’ve helped over 40 million people access water and/or sanitation.
In The Worth of Water, Gary and Matt take us along on the journey—telling stories as they uncover insights, try out new ideas, and travel between the communities they serve and the halls of power where decisions get made. With humor and humility, they illuminate the challenges of launching a brand-new model with extremely high stakes: better health and greater prosperity for people all over the world.

The Worth of Water invites us to become a part of this effort—to match hope with resources, to empower families and communities, and to end the global water crisis for good. All the authors’ proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Water.org.

Grecsó Krisztián: Lányos apa

Family stories can be read in this book: about the parents who raise us, or about the parents we can become. How do the stories of our own childhood shape our choices as adults? Is it possible to break bad patterns, is it possible to preserve good ones? How can one validly tell how much happiness - despite all the difficulties - it is to become a father? Krisztián Grecsó's stories always start from something small - whether it's a walk on the playground with his daughter or a memory from his teenage years - but they usually look for a perspective that helps not only the author, but also the reader to understand his own questions of destiny. Serenity, the search for happiness permeates the narration of difficult topics as well, which despite all rumors to the contrary is a very complicated state.

Lisa Graf: Dallmayr - A szép élet álma

Munich, 1897. Anton Randlkofer and his wife, Therese, have been running the popular, extremely elegant Dallmayr delicatessen on Diener street for two years and are raising their three children. While the affluent can buy mouth-watering sweets, exotic fruits and excellent coffee from them, ordinary citizens stand in front of the magnificently arranged shop windows and dream of becoming Dallmayr customers.

However, when Anton Randlkofer dies unexpectedly, the brilliant rise of the family business threatens to come to an abrupt end. Just a few days later, Anton's younger brother tries to illegally acquire the flourishing business. The highly persistent and resolute widow is determined not to yield ground to her brother-in-law and boldly takes the lead of the business. She doesn't know yet that there are secrets lurking even within her own four walls...

As we follow the exciting and unusual story of the real Randlkofer family, we can almost imagine the delicacies lined up on the delicatessen's shelves, which were still mostly considered rare specialties in the happy times of peace. Therese, blessed with excellent business acumen, also provided her customers with recipe ideas, so now she delights the readers with these descriptions and also gives a glimpse into Mrs. Randlkofer's specific marketing plans.

Lisa Graf created an exciting, heartwarming series of family novels of the turn of the century era Dallmayr, founded in 1700 and now successfully operating worldwide.
