Winters Gifts
When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does.
That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town - and there's no sign of Henderson.
Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising - cutting off the town, with no way in or out...
Something terrible is awakening. As the clues lead to the coldest of cold cases - a cursed expedition into the frozen wilderness - Reynolds follows a trail from the start of the American nightmare, to the horror that still lives on today...

Coffee with Hitler
How the British might have handled Hitler differently remains one of history’s greatest ‘what ifs’.
Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding and poignant story, for the first time, of a handful of amateur British intelligence agents who wined, dined and befriended the leading National Socialists between the wars. With support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians and businessmen, they hoped to use the much mythologised Anglo-German Fellowship as a vehicle to civilise the Nazis. A pacifist Welsh historian, a Great War flying ace, and a butterfly-collecting businessman offered the British government better intelligence on the horrifying rise of the Nazis than anyone else.
Charles Spicer draws on newly discovered primary sources, shedding light on the early career of Kim Philby, Winston Churchill’s approach to appeasement, the US entry into the war and the Rudolf Hess affair.

Provazochodkyně
Zatímco spojenecké jednotky na jaře roku 1945 utahují smyčku kolem Berlína, vynořuje se z trosek a rozvalin Německa na scénu tohoto románu osamělá postava. Je to Marian Sutrová, se kterou její britští velitelé ztratili kontakt na podzim 1943, kdy v Paříži padla do rukou gestapa. Nyní je jednou z mála přeživších agentů Velitelství zvláštních operací. Statečně čelila zatčení, brutálním výslechům i hrůzám pobytu v koncentračním táboře Ravensbrück, ale jakou cenu za to musela zaplatit? Vrací se do Anglie, kterou sotva poznává, učí se žít v poválečném světě, kterému nerozumí, a hledá nějaký záchytný bod, s jehož pomocí by mohla začít budovat svůj nový život. Rodina a přátelé jsou jí nablízku a mladý důstojník RAF se snaží probudit v ní chuť k normálnímu životu, k lásce a citům, ale vzpomínky a prožitky nepřestávají Marian pronásledovat. Za války se naučila, jak splynout s davem v ulicích Paříže, jak zabíjet a přežít mučení a věznění – nyní se musí přizpůsobit znovu, musí se naučit, jak žít v podivné realitě poválečné Anglie.
Jakkoli se Marian snaží znovu vybudovat svůj život a setřást ze sebe minulost agentky a hrdinky odboje, vzpomínky na mučení, nešťastnou lásku a zradu nedokáže zapudit – podobně jakou touhu po dobrodružství. Když ji její bývalý řídící důstojník láká zpět do temného světa špionáže, těžko odolává vnitřní potřebě sloužit vyšším cílům. Marian se dostává do tíživého soukolí politiky studené války a nakonec je nucena riskovat všechno - aby ochránila ty, které miluje, aby pomohla věci, které věří, a, ze všeho nejvíc, aby dala průchod svým touhám. Provazochodkyně přináší napínavou a velmi propracovanou sondu do složitých motivů idealismu a odvahy těch, kteří nepřestali bojovat ani poté, co druhá světová válka dávno skončila. Je to ale také příběh neobyčejné ženy: ženy, která neváhá vraždit, která dokáže přežít, hrdinky i zrádkyně.

Who can afford to be critical?
On the conditions and limits of critical thinking for design culture under capitalism
Design schools increasingly urge students to address social, political and environmental issues in their work. But who can afford to work in this way after graduation?
In a dynamic style that draws from multiple contributors, Who Can Afford to Be Critical? discusses the limits that affordability, class and labor impose upon the educational promise of holding a "critical" practice. Why do we tend to ignore the material and socioeconomic constraints that bind us as designers, claiming instead that we can be powerful agents of change? Instead of focusing on the dream of ethical work under capitalism, could we instead focus first on designers' own working conditions, as one immediate site for collective action? Over the course of four chapters, this publication delves into the modes of precarity in critical graphic work and possible paths toward emancipation from that position.

Machine Learning
The profession is changing. A new era is rapidly approaching when computers will not merely be instruments for data creation, manipulation and management, but, empowered by artificial intelligence, they will become agents of design themselves. Architects need a strategy for facing the opportunities and threats of these emergent capabilities or risk being left behind. Architecture’s best-known technologist, Phil Bernstein, provides that strategy. Divided into three key sections – Process, Relationships and Results – Machine Learning lays out an approach for anticipating, understanding and managing a world in which computers often augment, but may well also supplant, knowledge workers like architects. Armed with this insight, practices can take full advantage of the new technologies to future-proof their business. Features chapters on:
Professionalism
Tools and technologies
Laws, policy and risk
Delivery, means and methods
Creating, consuming and curating data
Value propositions and business models.

Spymaster
The dramatic story of a man who stood at the center of British intelligence operations, the ultimate spymaster of World War II: Thomas Kendrick
Thomas Kendrick (1881–1972) was central to the British Secret Service from its beginnings through to the Second World War. Under the guise of “British Passport Officer,” he ran spy networks across Europe, facilitated the escape of Austrian Jews, and later went on to set up the “M Room,” a listening operation which elicited information of the same significance and scope as Bletchley Park. Yet the work of Kendrick, and its full significance, remained largely unknown.
Helen Fry draws on extensive original research to tell the story of this remarkable British intelligence officer. Kendrick’s life sheds light on the development of MI6 itself?he was one of the few men to serve Britain across three wars, two of which while working for the British Secret Service. Fry explores the private and public sides of Kendrick, revealing him to be the epitome of the “English gent”?easily able to charm those around him and scrupulously secretive.

Very Bad People
"Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth." - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond
Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables them.
VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.
As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.
Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.

Escape from Freedom
If humanity cannot live with the dangers and responsibilities inherent in freedom, it will probably turn to authoritarianism. This is the central idea of Escape from Freedom, a landmark work by one of the most distinguished thinkers of our time, and a book that is as timely now as when first published in 1941. Few books have thrown such light upon the forces that shape modern society or penetrated so deeply into the causes of authoritarian systems.
If the rise of democracy set some people free, at the same time it gave birth to a society in which the individual feels alienated and dehumanized. Using the insights of psychoanalysis as probing agents, Fromm's work analyzes the illness of contemporary civilization as witnessed by its willingness to submit to totalitarian rule.
