Blurb Your Enthusiasm
A dazzling dictionary of book blurbs, filled with writing tips, literary folklore and publishing secrets
A joyful celebration of books – the perfect gift for bibliophiles, word lovers and anyone who’s ever wondered, should you judge a book by its cover?
We love the words in books – but what about the words on them? How do they work their magic? Here is a book about the ways books entice us to read them: their titles, quotes, covers and, above all, blurbs – via authors from Jane Austen to Zadie Smith, writing tricks, classic literature, bonkbusters, plot spoilers and publishing secrets. It’s nothing less than the inside story of the outside of books.
And it answers questions like:
- Why do some authors hate blurbs so much they burn their own books?
- Should all adjectives be murdered?
- Is blurbing sometimes maybe lying?
- Is it true that (checks jacket) you need an animal on a book’s cover to make it a bestseller?
- What are the most terrible blurbs of all time?
Join Penguin publishing word wizard Louise Willder – five thousand blurbs written, mostly avoiding the phrase ‘unputdownable tour-de-force’ – to discover why we should judge a book by its cover. Even this one. (It’s an unputdownable tour-de-force.)
Locked in Time – Időbe zárva
A fiatalság titkáért meg kell halni.
Nore Roberts nem vágyott új életre, de miután az édesanyja meghalt, az apja pedig újranősült, Árnyasligetben kell új otthonra lelnie egy régi, polgárháború korabeli kúriában, ahol az új családja él. Amikor találkozik a mostohaanyjával, Lisette-tel, rögtön szembetűnik neki a nő fiatalsága és szépsége. Bár a mostohatestvérei barátságosak, később egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, hogy titkolnak előle valamit. Nore kutatni kezd a múltjukban, és miután kiderül néhány döbbenetes furcsaság, rájön, hogy a megérzése nagyon is megalapozott. Vajon sikerül-e felfednie a mostohaanyja sötét titkát, mielőtt ő maga is a gonosz varázslat áldozatává válik?
Számomra mindig is Lois Duncan jelentette az egyik legnagyobb inspirációt. Tizenévesen faltam a regényeit, újra meg újra elolvastam őket, holott közben a hideg futkosott a hátamon. Duncan a feszültségkeltés mestere, ezért számís rá, hogy te is a hatása alá kerülsz, és rád is a frászt hozza majd.

Einstein in Time and Space
DROPOUT. PACIFIST. PHYSICIST. CASANOVA. REFUGEE. REBEL. GENIUS.
THINK YOU KNOW EINSTEIN? THINK AGAIN
His face is instantly recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius. Today, he's a figurehead as much as a man, symbolic of things larger than himself: of scientific progress, of the human mind, even of the age. But who was Einstein really?
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist who discovered relativity, black holes and E = mc2, dined with Charlie Chaplin in Hollywood and was the inspiration for (highly radioactive) element 99, Albert Einstein was also a high school dropout with an FBI file 1,400 pages long.
In this book, Samuel Graydon brings history's most famous scientist back to life. From his lost daughter to escaping the Nazis, from his love letters to unlikely inventions, from telling jokes to cheer up his sad parrot Bibo to refusing the Presidency of Israel, through the discoveries and thought experiments that changed science, Einstein in Time and Space tells 99 unforgettable stories of the man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within it.

The Time Before the Sun
Author searches the past of Earth, this solar system’s, and humanity’s. In his mind, if we are to forge a successful future, we must heed the Mesopotamian warning: In the Past the Future is Hidden.This is the first Bonilla book with the Our Hom Update ignition chapter. Other titles will follow. Our Hom means our human origin moons. Venus, Earth, Mars, and Heaven are our four human origin moons.
Moon Heaven is no longer with us. She escaped the solar system as part of the Nibiru lunar system.
Our Hom reveals original content from the author’s 37-year-research dealing with the remote past of this solar system, including certain aspects of what he believes are our true multi-lunar human origin worlds.
Our human origin moons have only one mission: to produce the Harvest. This mission is proceeding as you read. At the end of the day, only one thing matters: that you understand your position on the Harvest. You will travel well if you do.
We at Our Hom - https://hespesky.com - are pitching the idea that the Harvest is consistent with the existence of the spirit, where the spirit is an electromagnetic being with more pure physical aspects than the flesh. Here eternity becomes the ruler of the Entire Total of Everything. Our Hom is convinced that everything is eternal, including life.
Of course, you first must understand that moon Mercury, moon Venus, the Moon, moon Earth, and moon Mars must be recent sun captures (? 3,000 years)We have also included a few revised chapters from the author’s best seller book, The Lost Planet of Enki. He urges the reader to pay close attention to the following…Lightning, hurricanes, and tornadoes are the kisses the atmosphere of Earth is giving to her ever-evolving surface. Think of this as a celestial wedding where we are forcibly invited.
The people that claim they know what is happening here are calling their knowledge “human-made climate change.” This is completely wrong. Our Hom indicates that Earth is growing bigger and bigger. Getting hotter and hotter. This book will begin to tell you how this is taking place: How Earth is getting ready to become awfully bad for ground gardening. And, if we cannot tell you everything here, you will be directed to hespesky.com where all the right information is located.Warning: Do not attach your heart to material things. They will all be gone. You will certainly suffer more if you put your love on what you build. Everything that you have, and love, which is of this Earth, must remain of this Earth.Do not pray that we are wrong. Praying will do you no good. Asking for God’s help will be futile. Earth’s destiny as a developing celestial body is unstoppable. Just see everything different. Earth is a farm. We are the produce. The spirit is the farmer. The universe is the market. You are seeing the Harvest going on from sunup to sundown. From East to West. From North to South. From birth to…
So, are you ready to fly to The Time Before the Sun?

Kapela, ktorá vznikla v roku 1990, je považovaná za jedného z praotcov melodického death metalu a dodávateľov „göteborského zvuku“. Ich integrálna úloha pri rozvíjaní scény v Göteborgu stanovila plán pre to,čo sa dnes považuje za moderný metal, a inšpirovala takých umelcov ako Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Bury Tomorrow, Children Of Bodom a nespočetné množstvo ďalších umelcov.

Od ich debutu 'Lunar Strain' z roku 1994, zložitý dvojitý gitarový útok, melodické vokály a skvelé aranžmány im dali charakteristický zvuk, ktorý sa v priebehu rokov vyvíjal.Rok 2023 znamenal pre In Flames začiatok novej éry vydaním štrnásteho štúdiového albumu kapely „Foregone“ – nového majstrovského diela kapely, ktorej tvorivý výkon zmenil smer a smer modernéhometalu. V tomto roku došlo aj k opätovnému vydaniu štyroch kľúčových titulov z rozsiahleho katalógu kapely, konkrétne „A Sense of Purpose“ (2008) (15th Anniversary Edition), „Reroute to Remain“ (2002), „Come Clarity“ (2006) a „Sounds of a Playground Fading“ (2011).Aby sme pokračovali v vzostupnom trende, rok 2024 znamená opätovné vydanie štyroch ďalších vplyvných titulov: „Lunar Strain“ (30. výročie), „Colony“ (25. výročie), „Soundtrack To Your Escape“ (20. výročie) a „Siren Charms“ (10. výročie), z ktorých všetky už neboli vytlačené a sú veľmi žiadané.

Your Face Belongs to Us
When Kashmir Hill stumbled upon Clearview AI, a mysterious startup selling an app that claimed it could identify anyone using just a snapshot of their face, the implications were terrifying. The app could use the photo to find your name, your social media profiles, your friends and family – even your home address. But this was just the start of a story more shocking than she could have imagined.
Launched by computer engineer Hoan Ton-That and politician Richard Schwartz, and assisted by a cast of controversial characters on the alt-right, Clearview AI would quickly rise to the top, sharing its app with billionaires and law enforcement. In this riveting feat of reporting Hill weaves the story of Clearview AI with an exploration of how facial recognition technology is reshaping our lives, from its use by governments and companies like Google and Facebook (who decided it was too radical to release) to the consequences of racial and gender biases baked into the AI. Soon it could expand the reach of policing — as it has in China and Russia — and lead us into a dystopian future.
Your Face Belongs to Us is a gripping true story. It illuminates our tortured relationship with technology, the way it entertains us even as it exploits us, and it presents a powerful warning that in the absence of regulation, this technology will spell the end of our anonymity.

The roadmap to personal empowerment
Are you ready to meet your Self?
In recent years, Dr Nicole LePera has become the leading voice in psychological self-healing, helping millions of people around the world rise out of survival mode to consciously create authentic lives they love. In her first book, How to Do the Work, Dr Nicole offered readers a revolutionary holistic framework for self-healing. Now, in How to Meet Your Self, she shares an interactive workbook designed to help every reader uncover their authentic self.
We all fall into conditioned habits and patterns - products of our past - that lead to cycles of stuckness, pain, and self-destruction. But as Dr. Nicole shares, we also have the innate ability to awaken to and change the behaviours that no longer serve us, allowing us to step into the highest versions of ourselves. By objectively and compassionately observing the physical, mental, and emotional patterns that fill our days and create our current selves, we can more clearly see what we do not wish to carry into the future.
As you work through this book and witness your default habits - from sleep to movement to eating, through emotional reactivity and core beliefs - you will never again have to ask, "But where do I start?" How to Meet Your Self is a revolutionary guide, a kind and encouraging companion and a comprehensive masterwork of self-understanding that will radically transform your inner work and outer world.

What Your Food Ate
We know that our diet influences our health. But is there more to the adage "you are what you eat?" Connecting the dots from agriculture to medicine, geologist David R. Montgomery and biologist Anne Bikle argue we overlook the other half of a healthy diet: how we grow our food.
Journeying from research labs to the fields of regenerative farmers, they uncover scientific and historical evidence for how farming practices-so often disruptive to microbial partnerships-influence soil health and shape the types and amounts of health-promoting minerals, fats and phytochemicals in our crops, meat and dairy-and thus ourselves. Understanding these connections has profound implications for what we eat and how we grow it, now and in the future. A capstone work from lauded authors, What Your Food Ate is a story both sobering and inspiring: what's good for the soil is good for us, too.

Guard your Heart
Boy meets girl on the Northern Irish border in Guard Your Heart, by Sue Divin,
Derry. Summer 2016. Aidan and Iona, now eighteen, were both born on the day of the Northern Ireland peace deal.
Aidan is Catholic, Irish, and Republican. With his ex-political prisoner father gone and his mother dead, Aidan's hope is pinned on exam results earning him a one-way ticket out of Derry. To anywhere.
Iona, Protestant and British, has a brother and father in the police. She's got university ambitions, a strong faith and a fervent belief that boys without one track minds are a myth.
At a post-exam party, Aidan wanders alone across the Peace Bridge and becomes the victim of a brutal sectarian attack. Iona witnessed the attack; picked up Aidan's phone and filmed what happened, and gets in touch with him to return the phone. When the two meet, alone and on neutral territory, the differences between them seem insurmountable.
Both their fathers held guns, but safer to keep that secret for now.
Despite their differences and the secrets they have to keep from each other, there is mutual intrigue, and their friendship grows. And so what? It's not the Troubles. But for both Iona and Aidan it seems like everything is keeping them apart , when all they want is to be together . . .
