The French Skincare Bible
Let me tell you a secret: you don't need to spend a fortune to get that Parisian glow.

- Provide tailored routines for specific skincare conditions, such as rosacea, acne and eczema, amongst others
- Talk you through the science of skincare and what the different ingredients actually mean
This is Dr Marine's love letter to where she came from; the French pharmacy shelves, the handwritten beauty tips and quiet rituals that shaped her view of skincare as self-care.
Queer Art (Art Essentials)
A concise, accessible and global overview of modern and contemporary queer art, co-written by notable curators in the field.
Queer Art is a commanding compendium of LGBTQIA+ art that highlights its ongoing resilience from the 19th century to the present day. Spanning generations and geographies, Queer Art's carefully curated selection of practitioners paints a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, underscoring the complexity of lived experience and cutting through the basic understanding of the subject that seeks to measure 'queerness' against overt homoeroticism and proven homosexuality.
Queer art curators Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley begin by exploring how resilience has shaped artistic expression, establishing the historical backdrop against which queer art has evolved. From liberation to intersectionality, reclamation to futurism, four thematic chapters unpack the key concerns of queer art as they relate to the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein and Xiyadie. By exploring the notion of 'queer art' through the lens of both historical figures and contemporary practitioners, Queer Art adopts a dual focus, traversing the past and present to reflect on covert histories whilst imagining radical futures in which art not only reflects but shapes social norms.
How to Get Rich the American Way
How to Get Rich the American Way is based on years of in-depth research by a contrarian academic who become rich himself while developing the book's theories, learning the history of real estate investing, stock trading, get-rich-quick schemes, and financial gurus.
From Nigerian prince scams to the investment manuals of housewives, from the destruction of African Americans' savings in the Freedman's Bank to the surprisingly long history of failing to teach children about money, and from the wit of Benjamin Franklin to the fraud of $0 down real estate infomercials, How to Get Rich the American Way brings an eclectic set of stories to bear on the financial destinies of everyday people. Each chapter includes anecdotes from the author's economic journey, including tales of wild investment ideas, get-rich-quick seminars, and his decade long-quest to apply the lessons of history to his own finances. By the end, to his own very great surprise, he is now a multi-millionaire.
Accessibly written with short, punchy chapters, the book is a thoughtful, realistic, and ultimately encouraging read on the prospects of getting by and getting ahead.

Football Hackers
The future of football is now.
Football's data revolution has only just begun. The arrival of advanced metrics and detailed analysis is already reshaping the modern game. We can now fully assess player performance, analyse the role of luck and measure what really leads to victory. There is no turning back.
Now the race is on between football's wealthiest clubs and a group of outsiders, nerds and rule-breakers, who are turning the game on its head with their staggering innovations. Winning is no longer just about what happens out on the pitch, it's now a battle taking place in boardrooms and on screens across international borders with the world's brightest minds driving for an edge over their fiercest rivals.
Christoph Biermann has moved in the midst of these disruptive upheavals, talking to scientists, coaches, managers, scouts and psychologists in the world's major clubs, traveling across Europe and the US and revealing the hidden - and often jaw-dropping - truths behind the beautiful game.

To survive, Ivy acts the sweet, devoted wife. Behind the smile, she plots to banish her husband, save her sister Lydia, and reunite with the love of her life, Emmett.
Yet Emmet and Lydia are trapped in the Otherworld, where the fae games are deadlier than ever and a queen must play most viciously of all.
Or see herself dethroned.
Notes to John
A recently discovered journal from one of America's most iconic writers, Joan Didion, the author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights.
A pile of neatly typed pages was found in Joan Didion's office after her death. She had meticulously recorded her weekly sessions with a psychiatrist. As far as anyone knows, the pages had been read by only one other person: Didion's husband, John Gregory Dunne.
The sessions began as a method of dealing with the heartbreaking alcoholism of their adult daughter, Quintana. Discussions broadened into revelations about Didion's own childhood, longstanding behaviour patterns, marriage, guilt, work and 'what's been worth'.
Writing was the way Didion dealt with life. Notes to John presents a riveting account of the therapeutic process, crafted with the singular intelligence, precision and elegance that characterise all of her work.

Miranda In Retrograde - Tévelygő csillagok közöt
Miután Miranda élete fenekestül felfordul, úgy dönt, hogy egy évig kizárólag a horoszkópja alapján hozza meg döntéseit.
Miranda Reed, az egyetem legfiatalabb fizikaprofesszora szereti pontosan megtervezni az életét. Ám amikor elutasítják a kinevezését, és meghiúsul a biztosnak hitt előléptetés, addig kiszámítható élete hirtelen darabjaira hullik.
Miután derékba tört a karrierje, Miranda a csillagok felé fordul – ezúttal azonban nem fekete lyukakat keres. Mivel a tudományba vetett hite megrendült, olyan helyen kezdi keresni a választ, amit korábban teljesen abszurdnak tartott: az asztrológiában.
Elhatározza, hogy egy évig hagyja, hogy a horoszkópja irányítsa az életét. Ezért aztán lakásfelújításba kezd, új háziállatot fogad örökbe, és azt kutatja, mit mondanak a csillagok az ideális párkapcsolatról. A titokzatosan zárkózott művész a szomszédból? Szó sem lehet róla. A Kos energiái teljesen kizárják. Vagy új tanítványának sármos apja? Tökéletes Nyilas. Mintha neki teremtették volna… nem igaz?
Ahogy Miranda új szemszögből kezdi látni az életét, lassan ráébred, hogy sem a tudomány, sem a csillagok nem adnak választ minden kérdésére. És hogy a szerelemben néha jobb, ha egyszerűen csak a szívére hallgat az ember.
Fedezd fel, mit tartogatnak számodra a csillagok!

Nothing Left Behind
They thought it was another false alarm. They were wrong… Anne Evans was a 'nuisance caller'. She would repetitively dial 999 in desperate panic, screaming down the phone that 'he' was going to burn her alive… But after years of false alarms, people stopped listening. Now, as the smoke clears, DCI Liz Field can only watch helplessly as Anne’s charred home collapses, her body still trapped inside. The blaze leaves scant evidence behind, but the more Field's team uncover in the rubble, the more disturbing the case becomes. This wasn't merely arson, it was murder, tailored to the victim’s worst nightmare. Everyone thought Anne was just a paranoid recluse. But is it really paranoia, if all that you feared comes true?

Blake & Mortimer - The Complete Collection Vol. 8
In this eighth volume of the Complete Collection, the next Blake & Mortimer written - in two parts - by Jean Van Hamme and illustrated by three different artists, brings the reader along on one of Professor Mortimer's favourite activities: archaeology - and if there are echoes of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade in The Curse of the 30 Pieces of Silver, the story is all the better for it. For the third album collected in this volume, The Oath of the Five Lords, the style is more Agatha Christie, with a thriller set in the heart of England that reveals some dark aspects of Captain Blake's career as a spy - giving the character more depth and credibility. Finally, the bonus material goes over the difficulties encountered to produce the first two albums in great detail.
