Berlin
Written by one of the world's leading experts on the Eastern Front, this captivating history explores the final battle for Berlin and the heart of Germany. This sweeping saga takes us from the banks of the River Oder as the Red Army begins it relentless drive towards the still beating heart of the Third Reich: Berlin. Only the Seelow Heights stood between the Soviet forces and the capital. Over the course of three days in May 1945 almost one million Soviet troops would attack these final entrenched positions. Once these defences were breached it was guaranteed that a bitter street-by-street battle would take place in the city itself between a vengeful Red Army and desperate, fanatical Nazis until final capitulation. Using vivid first-hand accounts, Prit Buttar reveals the brutal combat that defined the final death throes of the Third Reich. Not only was the outcome of the war at stake. As the Red Army rolled into Berlin this was already a foregone conclusion even if it would take its toll in blood. Already battle lines for the forthcoming Cold War were being drawn. Stalin, fearful that the Western Powers would not honour their agreements, was determined to have boots on the ground to ensure his control of what would become the Soviet occupation zone. Berlin: Endgame 1945 is the brilliant account of the ferocious climax to World War II and a chilling prologue to the Cold War.

Breathlessly compulsive courtroom drama with expertly-crafted twists that you won't see coming, Dissection of a Murder is the razor-sharp debut novel from Jo Murray.
A dead judge. A silent defendant. And a courtroom full of liars.
When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her.
To make things worse, he's refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case?
Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren't won by convincing judges or fellow barristers - they're all about convincing a jury.
Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried.
It's true what they say - there are two sides to every story.
Guilty or not guilty?

Adresát Bohuslav Havránek
Edice obsahuje odbornou i přátelskou korespondenci adresovanou Bohuslavu Havránkovi, přednímu lingvistovi 20. století. Zahrnuje období od roku 1924 do roku 1977. Její hlavní část spadá do čtyřicátých a padesátých let 20. století z pera trojice význačných vědců: Františka Trávníčka, Vladimíra Šmilauera a Bohuslava Havránka (jim úspěšně sekunduje lexikograf Alois Získal). Jejich práce, zájmy i osudy se v listech protínají a po válce vyhrocují; tvoří zajímavou i objevnou část celé korespondence a dokumentují, někdy i bouřlivě a bojovně, vývoj české lingvistiky v soudobých měnících se politických poměrech. Druhým tematickým okruhem korespondence jsou pak listy Havránkových žáků: Miloše Dokulila, Karla Horálka, Františka Kopečného a Oldřicha Králíka; jsou zaměřeny individuálněji, a i když zachycují řadu momentů reagujících na společenské události, dotýkají se převážně vědecké práce, často v souvislosti s konzultací či prosbou o pomoc při řešení problémů osobního i profesního charakteru. Kniha vychází k 100. výročí založení Pražského lingvistického kroužku.
Sexiness
What truly defines sexiness—that magnetic force that transcends mere attraction to embody power, confidence, and cultural resonance? In Sexiness, author and cultural commentator Nils Ketterer embarks on a provocative visual and narrative journey to uncover the many facets of sexiness in contemporary and historical contexts. From iconic sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe to the evolving expressions of desire in fashion, cinema, and pop culture, this book explores how sexiness permeates our lives. It delves into the rituals, taboos, and shifting norms surrounding sexuality worldwide, while celebrating the subtle details that make something irresistibly sexy. Drawing on cultural insight and vivid photography, Sexiness is a bold statement piece that captures the complexity and vitality of this universal human experience.
Bad Friend
We live in a society that heroises romantic love over platonic love, yet despite the attempts to revolutionise Valentines to Galentines and even Malentines, we still prioritise romantic relationships over friendships. Just look at the language we have for each stage; from seeing each other to dating, committing to one another to getting engaged and married. We even have multiple options for the same meaning, whether it's fuck buddies, non-exclusive, no strings attached, friends with benefits or a casual relationship. But when a person will have on average seven to ten romantic relationships in their lifetime and twenty-nine friends, why is it that the conversation on love is far greater than the conversation on friendship? And when only six of these friendships will stand the test of time, this means that the average person will experience the ending of twenty-three friendships in their lifetime - that's three times the amount of romantic breakups. As someone who has gone through a dozen friendship breakups, Michelle began to think she was A Bad Friend. She grieved in silence, shrouded by shame and secrecy, because when society doesn't make room for a conversation about friendship breakups, you learn not to either. Just like a romantic break up, have one too many and society starts poking flaws in why your relationships keep ending. But what if you aren't the problem? What if the problem is the way we think about friendship breakup? ad Friend will remove the stigma from friendships breakups. It will spark a much-needed conversation around friendships, making us question everything we have been taught about them. It will help the reader identify what they're looking for in a friendship, explore friendship during life changes, help the reader heal from fractures in friendships, and give advice on how to end a friendship, rules for better friendships and how to make new friends. Bad Friend is the book for anyone who has ever been hurt by a friend but it's also the book to read to know that you are not one.
Superveloce
Shortlisted for Motorsports Book of the Year in the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2026Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025Silverstone, 1950 – the first post-war Grand Prix and the birth of Formula One. The king and queen, alongside 150,000 spectators, watch in dismay as Italy’s Alfa Romeos scream past to claim the first three places. British cars are hopelessly outclassed by Alfa Romeos and Maseratis. How can it be, they all wonder, that Italy, its industry reduced to rubble by Allied bombs so recently, has set new standards of speed and style that leave the rest of the world for dust? Italy’s ability to outflank its more powerful and better-equipped neighbours is nothing new. At the turn of the century Italy made so few cars that its output wasn’t recorded, by 1907 Italian cars and drivers swept the board in the first Grand Prix season. In Superveloce, Peter Grimsdale explores the mystery of how a country with no industrial revolution, hampered by poverty, came to represent an innovation and flair that other countries struggled to match. Grimsdale traces a century of Italian design genius, the rise of great marques such as Ferrari, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. We see the lives of fiercely charismatic and competitive drives like Ascari, Varzi and Nuvolari. Does the secret lie deep in Italy’s cultural heritage – in historic links between art and machine going back to da Vinci? Or is it simply ‘sprezzatura’ – the art of making something difficult look effortlessly easy?
