A Feather So Black
The Cruel Prince meets For the Wolf in a sizzling fantasy romance inspired by Celtic fae mythology, spinning a magical tale of a changeling princess, her cursed sister, and the dangerous fae lord she must defeat to save her family.
In a kingdom where magic has been lost, Fia is a rare changeling, left behind by the wicked Fair Folk when they stole the High Queen's daughter Eala and locked the gates to the Otherworld.
When a hidden gate to the Otherworld is discovered, Fia is tasked by the High Queen to retrieve Eala and break her curse. But she doesn't go alone: with her is prince Rogan, Eala's betrothed and Fia's childhood best friend.
As the two journey into a world where magic winds through the roots of the trees and beauty can be a deadly illusion, Fia's mission is complicated by her feelings for the prince. . . and her unexpected attraction to the dark-hearted fae lord holding Eala captive. Irian might be more monster than man, but he seems to understand Fia in a way no one ever has.

The Fury
Totally original and utterly compelling, with a voice all of its own, this is the outstanding new thriller from the no.1 internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides.
'There were seven of us in all, trapped on the island.
One of us was a murderer . . .'
On a small private Greek island, former movie star Lana Farrar - an old friend - invites a select group of us to stay.
It'll be hot, sunny, perfect. A chance to relax and reconnect - and maybe for a few hidden truths to come out.
Because nothing on this island is quite what it seems.
Not Lana. Not her guests.
Certainly not the murderer - furiously plotting their crime . . .
But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I'm going to tell you a story unlike any you've ever heard.
A History of Water
From award-winning writer Edward Wilson-Lee, this is a thrilling true historical detective story set in sixteenth-century Portugal.
A History of Water follows the interconnected lives of two men across the Renaissance globe. One of them – an aficionado of mermen and Ethiopian culture, an art collector, historian and expert on water-music – returns home from witnessing the birth of the modern age to die in a mysterious incident, apparently the victim of a grisly and curious murder. The other – a ruffian, vagabond and braggart, chased across the globe from Mozambique to Japan – ends up as the national poet of Portugal.
The stories of Damiao de Gois and Luis de Camoes capture the extraordinary wonders that awaited Europeans on their arrival in India and China, the challenges these marvels presented to longstanding beliefs, and the vast conspiracy to silence the questions these posed about the nature of history and of human life.
Like all good mysteries, everyone has their own version of events.

God's Ghostwriters
From an award-winning biblical scholar, the untold story of how enslaved people created, gave meaning to, and spread the word of the New Testament, shaping the very foundations of Christianity in ways both subtle and profound.
For the past two thousand years, Christian tradition, scholarship, and pop culture has credited the authorship of the New Testament to a select group of men: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. But the truth is that these individuals, who have been rewarded with sainthood for their work, did not write alone. In some meaningful ways they did not write at all.
Hidden behind these named and sainted individuals are a cluster of enslaved coauthors and collaborators, almost all of whom go unnamed and uncredited. They were responsible for producing the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament. In fact, there was no aspect of textual production and circulation in which they did not play a part: they made the parchment and papyri on which Christian texts were written. They took dictation, removed grammatical infelicities, and polished and refined the final manuscripts. Those manuscripts were then duplicated and bound by bookmakers and booksellers who, recent research has shown, were also enslaved or formerly enslaved. When the Christian message began to move independently from the first apostles it was enslaved missionaries who undertook the dangerous and arduous journeys across the Mediterranean and along dusty Roman roads to move Christianity from Jerusalem and the Levant to Rome, Spain, North Africa, and Egypt. Finally, when these texts were read aloud to new audiences of curious potential converts, it was educated and trained enslaved workers who performed them—deciding whether a statement was sincere or sarcastic; a throwaway remark or something central to be emphasized. Their influence in the spread of Christianity and making of the Bible was enormous, yet their role has been almost entirely overlooked until now.
Filled with profound ramifications revelations both for what it means to be a Christian and for how we read individual texts themselves, God’s Ghostwriters is a groundbreaking and rigorously researched book about how enslaved people shaped the Bible, and with it all of Christianity.

Mužská infertilita a erektilní dysfunkce
Většina párů dosáhne koncepce během jednoho roku, ale u asi 15 % párů se to nedaří. V minulosti se snaha o vyšetření a léčbu týkala spíše ženy. Současné údaje však ukazují, že asi 20 % příčin infertility je zcela způsobeno mužským faktorem a na dalš
ích 30 % se podílejí muž a žena stejnou měrou. U poloviny infertilních párů je tedy mužská infertilita důležitým příčinným faktorem.

Zaciname Prog.V C
Jazyk C# je primárním jazykem vytvořeným Microsoftem pro nastupující generaci operačních systémů Windows - platformu .NET. Jde o moderní nástroj vycházející z dobrého, co dosavadní jazyky (především C++) přinesly, zároveň však odstraňuje nedostatk
y, kde tyto jazyky už nestačí sledovat rychlý vývoj zvláště v oblasti komponent a podpory webových aplikací. Doplňuje nové vlastnosti, které bylo do stávajících jazyků těžko zavést bez zásadní změny jejich koncepce. Jazyk C# však není "novým světem"
- jeho tvůrcům šlo nejen o implementaci nových schopností (stoprocentní objektovost, optimální vytváření komponent pro internetové aplikace), ale i o přívětivou syntaxi vycházející ze stávajících oblíbených jazyků.
Kniha umožní programátorům v kterém
koli jazyce snadno ovládnout nový jazyk. První kapitoly jsou pro nedočkavé čtenáře, kteří chtějí konečně vidět, jak nový jazyk vypadá. Následují důkladnější kapitoly s podrobným vysvětlením vlastností jazyka C#. Mezi popisovaná témata patří základní
příkazy, výrazy, třídy, struktury, rozhraní, atributy, výčtové typy, pole, delegáty, události, zpracování výjimek, interoperabilita prostřednictvím COM+ a další nové prvky, které jazyk a nová platforma přináší.
Ve zbývající části autor uvádí vývojáře
do aplikačního prostředí (frameworks) .NET a běhového prostředí společného pro všechny kompatibilní jazyky (Common Language Runtime, CLR). Naučí programátory vytvářet v nich správně fungující komponenty a základní rutiny (vstup/výstup apod.). Prosto
r je vyhrazen i pokročilejším tématům, jako jsou regulární výrazy a kolekce. Závěrečné kapitoly ukazují v praxi třídy System.Array, třídy kolekcí, automatické přidělování paměti objektům, optimalizaci kompilátoru a představují nový přístup "defenzivn
ího programování" a jeho podporu v C#, umožňující minimalizovat chyby v aplikacích. Na konci knihy najdete přímé porovnání C# s dosavadními jazyky C++, Javou a Visual Basicem.
Kniha je vhodná pro všechny programátory, kteří již mají alespoň základní
zkušenosti s programováním; předchozí zkušenosti s objektovým programováním jsou výhodou. Autor je předním členem vývojového týmu pro jazyk C# v Microsoftu. Výklad jazyka C# v knize je ověřen podle stavu druhé beta-verze krátce před finálním uvedením

WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT THIS?!
What is the most personal thing you've asked the Internet? Illustrator Hazel Mead turns to Google to uncover what we secretly ask search bars about our relationships, bodies and identities. With hundreds of demystifying and empowering illustrations, she offers a fun, shame-free and inclusive guide to life's big questions. This is the emotional curriculum you'll wish was taught in every classroom.
What if there was a book that explored the big lessons of life? Sure, formal education will equip you with requisite knowledge on photosynthesis. But when it comes to spotting the green flags in a prospective partner, navigating yours or a loved one's grief, knowing how to prepare for a cervical screening, or to practicing self-defense, it can feel like total guesswork.
Using the latest research, interviews with experts, and her signature visuals, Hazel interrogates the taboos that shame us into silence. Since the answers to life's big questions are rarely black and white, she answers them in colour, with accessible design and compassionate reflections. Why Aren't We Talking About This?! is an exploration of the things we're too afraid to ask but desperately need to know and talk about for greater acceptance of others and ourselves. It's a bold invitation to forget normal and embrace what makes you unique.
Quiet Spaces
An elegant presentation of interiors for introverts, placing the memorable work of London architect William Smalley alongside buildings around the world that have inspired his practice.
The interiors in Quiet Spaces were made for private contemplation: calm places in which to read a book, listen to music, or have dinner with friends. Showcasing the possibilities of sophisticated, low-key luxury design,this book presents the work of William Smalley alongside a selection of inspirational spaces across the globe that have influenced his practice.
This timely publication speaks to the growing trend for slow and calm living, boosted by a return to focusing on home life thanks to the pandemic. Organized into four themed chapters?Space, Silence, Shadows, and Life?Quiet Spaces reveals the importance of key design concepts in creating quiet equilibrium in Smalley’s practice, as well as in homes, interiors, and architecture more generally. Projects range from Smalley’s work?including his own Bloomsbury apartment and several private residences, frequently in old houses?to inspiring buildings around the world, such as Mexico City’s Casa Luis Barragán, Villa Saraceno in Italy, and Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge.
Newly commissioned photography and interviews with the owners give fresh insights into the experience of living in these exquisite spaces, brought together in an elegant and covetable package that will inspire designers, architects, and anyone with a love of restrained and refined design.
