Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times
'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself' Elizabeth Gilbert
'A gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows' Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path and The Wild Silence
Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life.

Milionová loupež - The Million Dollar Bond Robery
V povídce Milionová loupež dojde během plavby zaoceánské lodi Olympia do New Yorku ke krádeži dluhopisů v hodnotě milion dolarů. Podezřelým je pan Philip Ridgeway, který dluhopisy převážel. Snoubenka pana Ridgewaye Esmée je přesvědčena o jeho nevině a prosí Hercula Poirota o pomoc. Vždyť jen tři lidé měli klíče od kufru s dluhopisy, řešení by tedy mělo být snadné… Jedno z oblíbených témat Agathy Christie a sice záhadné síly a moc starověkého Egypta se objevuje i v povídce Tajemství egyptské hrobky. Kdo jiný než Hercule Poirot je schopen s pomocí logiky a rozumu vyvrátit historky o prokletí? Ve třetí povídce Dívka ve vlaku cestuje poněkud bezstarostný mladý muž vlakem za novým životem, neboť byl zrovna svým strýcem vyhozen z rodinné fi rmy. Náhodné setkání s krásnou dívkou však jeho život navždy změní. Cesta vlakem tvoří pozadí i poslední povídky Ten čtvrtý. Na cestě do Newcastle se v jednom kupé sejdou kanovník, psychiatr a právník. V kupé však sedí i čtvrtý muž, který zjevně nevěnuje jejich hovoru žádnou pozornost. Nakonec se ukáže, že právě on dokáže tyto vzdělané muže něčemu naučit.

Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse
"Nina Schick is alerting us to a danger from the future that is already here." - Adam Boulton, Editor at Large, Sky News
"Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is an urgent, thoughtful and thoroughly-researched book that raises uncomfortable questions about the way that information is being distorted by states and individuals... A must-read." - Greg Williams, Editor in Chief of WIRED UK
"Essential reading for any one interested about the shocking way information is and will be manipulated." - Lord Edward Vaizey
"Schick's Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is a short, sharp book that hits you like a punch in the stomach." - Nick Cohen, The Observer
"Deep Fakes is an uncomfortable but gripping read, probing the way in which the internet has been flooded with disinformation and dark arts propaganda." - Jim Pickard, Chief Political Correspondent, Financial Times
"A searing insight into a world so many of us find difficult to understand. I was gripped from the first page." - Iain Dale, Broadcaster
"With this powerful book, Nina Schick has done us all a great public service...It's your civic duty to read it." - Jamie Susskind, author of Future Politics
"Gripping, alarming and morally vital." - Ian Dunt, Host of Remainiacs Podcast
It will soon be impossible to tell what is real and what is fake.
Recent advances in AI mean that by scanning images of a person (for example using Facebook), a powerful machine learning system can create new video images and place them in scenarios and situations which never actually happened. When combined with powerful voice AI, the results are utterly convincing.
So-called 'Deep Fakes' are not only a real threat for democracy but they take the manipulation of voters to new levels. They will also affect ordinary people. This crisis of misinformation we are facing has been dubbed the 'Infocalypse'.
Using her expertise from working in the field, Nina Schick reveals shocking examples of Deep Fakery and explains the dangerous political consequences of the Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public trust in politics. She also unveils what it means for us as individuals, how Deep Fakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud, and how unprepared governments and tech companies are.
As a political advisor to select technology firms, Schick tells us what we need to do to prepare and protect ourselves. Too often we build the cool technology and ignore what bad guys can do with it before we start playing catch-up. But when it comes to Deep Fakes, we urgently need to be on the front foot.

The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers: And Other Gruesome Tales
Jen Campbell's collection of terrifyingly gruesome tales lends a modern edge to fairy tale collections for young readers. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of fairy tale history, Campbell's stories undo the censoring, gender stereotyping and twee endings of more modern children's fairy tales, to return both classic and little-known stories to their grim versions, whilst celebrating a diverse range of characters.
Featuring 14 short stories from around the globe, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is illustrated in a contemporary style by Canadian comic artist Adam de Souza. De Souza's brooding illustrations are a highly original blend of 19th-century Gothic engravings and moody film noir graphic novels. Beautifully produced in a hardback format with a rose gold ribbon marker, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is a truly thrilling gift.
With 86 illustrations, 30 in colour
