Castro
Castro: A Biography by Consent offers the most comprehensive and in-depth life history of one of the most iconic and controversial revolutionary leaders of the modern world. Respected by some, despised by others, Fidel Castro was a force to reckon with. Claudia Furiati spent nine years of intensive research unraveling and chronicling his story through seven decades of Cuban history. Castro granted Furiati his consent to write this biography and gave his assurance that he would not read it until the book was completed and published. He allowed her access to his personal (confidential and secret) archives and official files. Through these and multiple interviews with Castro’s friends and enemies alike, Furiati fills in gaps missing from other biographies and provides, through extensive narrative and photos, a powerful portrayal of this charismatic yet enigmatic head of state.

Nine Months That Count Forever
From the author of the no. 1 internationally bestselling Glucose Revolution, the must-have guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition
Most pregnant women are told: "Don't worry - eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what he needs from you." But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy shapes your baby's brain, body, and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules - until now.
When biochemist Jessie Inchauspe became pregnant, she sifted through hundreds of studies and uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby's development in the womb; yet most women don't get nearly enough of the first three-and too much of the fourth. And the effects can last a lifetime.
In 9 Months That Count Forever, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to optimise these four nutrients, and help give your baby a stronger foundation for life. These principles can:
- Support your baby's brain development, cognitive growth, and emotional resilience
- Lower the risk of asthma, allergies, and diabetes later in life
- Influence your baby's body composition, organ function, and long-term metabolism
Complete with guidance on supplements, nausea, labour, breastfeeding, as well as meal plans and recipes, 9 Months That Count Forever also shares Jessie's deeply honest account of her own pregnancy journey, offering support and reassurance through these crucial months.
This landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy-and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.

Együtt túlélhetik a történelem legsötétebb korszakát?
A hűség összeköt - de az árulás szétszakít
Párizs, 1940. A várost elfoglalták a nácik, három fiatal varrónő a lehetőségekhez képest igyekszik élni mindennapi életét. Mireille-t megsebezte a háború: bekapcsolódik az Ellenállásba; Claire-t elcsábítja egy német tiszt; Vivienne pedig olyasmit tett, amit egyik lakótársának se mer elmondani.

A három varrónőnek csupa rossz választással kellett szembenéznie. Nem volt kiút. Veszélybe sodorta őket az illegális tevékenység, de a végsőkig kitartottak egymás mellett. Hogyan tudták túlélni ezt a sötét, kilátástalan időszakot?

American Hope
'Immensely readable ... Lamb's assessment is cool and considered: a thoughtful overview of the conclave's fruit in Leo's first year, and the challenges he faces. The author's gifts for rendering complexity digestible are on full display: American Hope is the most thorough and insightful overview out there of the Church at the start of the Leonine era' - Austen Ivereigh, The Tablet'Incisive ... American Hope combines background with predictions, lacing both together with a strong narrative and mastery of Vatican politics as well as theology ... The influence of Lamb's day job, as CNN's Vatican correspondent, can be seen here in the ease with which he places the Pope in a global context, not least in comparing him with US president Donald Trump and his VP, Catholic convert JD Vance' - Catherine Pepinster, TelegraphAs white smoke signaled a new pope had been chosen on the evening of May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost went from being a relatively unknown cardinal to one of the most famous people on earth, the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In electing Leo XIV, the College of Cardinals broke with conventional wisdom that there would never be an American pope. Is it a coincidence that he was chosen at a time of unprecedented political turbulence in the United States? Had the cardinals seen in him someone who would act as a spiritual counterweight to President Donald Trum? n American Hope CNN's Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb explores what the election of Pope Leo means not just for the Catholic Church, but for the world. Drawing on his deep understanding of the Vatican and high-level access to cardinals and senior figures, Lamb paints a portrait of Leo as someone who combines an ability to unify with a steely determination to reform. He provides insights into the themes that will dominate Leo's papacy as the new pope steers a path between traditionalists and reformers. Leo is set to make a profound impact on the Church at a transformative moment in its history. In the era of "America First", the story of Leo's life and ministry asks what it truly means to be an American. In a world of conflict, he stands for peace. In a time of uncertainty, he offers a sense of hope.
