Bowie's Books
A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Brilliant. The unwritten Bowie book that needed writing' CAITLIN MORAN
'Splendid. Provides plenty of evidence of Bowie's restless, rummaging intelligence, and his pleasure in the fact that books allow readers to slip into someone else's skin and try it on for size' THE TIMES
'A witty and enlightening analysis of Bowie's 100 essential books . . . A handy, amusing, light-touch precis' OBSERVER
'What is your idea of perfect happiness?'
'Reading.'
'What is the quality you most like in a man?'
'The ability to return books.'
Three years before he died, David Bowie made a list of the one hundred books that had transformed his life - a list that formed something akin to an autobiography. From Madame Bovary to A Clockwork Orange, the Iliad to the Beano, these were the publications that had fuelled his creativity and shaped who he was.
In Bowie's Books, John O'Connell explores this list in the form of one hundred short essays, each offering a perspective on the man, performer and creator that is Bowie, his work as an artist and the era that he lived in.
Brilliantly illustrated throughout and the perfect gift for Bowie fans and book lovers, Bowie's Books is much more than a list of books you should read in your lifetime: it is a unique insight into one of the greatest minds of our times, and an indispensable part of the legacy that Bowie left behind.

From the bestselling author of Summer at Shell Cottage comes The Year of Taking Chances, a novel full of warmth, humour and romance. Because love is always worth the risk . . .

Minden vágyam
Caitlin házassága romokban hever, a háza szintén, hogy a szívéről már ne is beszéljünk. A férje, Patrick elköltözik, a nő önbizalma megrendül, a háza plafonja beszakad, a jövője bizonytalan.
Ráadásul a négyéves kislánya, Nancy, aki eddig mindenhol és mindenkor csacsogott - az autóban, az óvodában, a bátyjával -, egyszer csak elhatározza: többet nem szólal meg.
Nancy nagynénje, a nemrégiben megözvegyült Eva csupán a két rakoncátlan kutyájával osztja meg az otthonát. A nő álmait teljesen összetörte a férje korai halála, a közös életük helyett most a híres színész memoárjait kell rendezgetnie - csakhogy a férfi naplójának olvasása közben olyan felfedezést tesz, amely az egész addigi életét felbolygatja. És amikor az öccse, Patrick azzal keresi meg, hogy Nancy és a testvére hadd töltsenek nála pár napot, az asszony nem is gondolja, hogy az élete még jobban összekuszálódik.
Vajon a nagynéni két kedves kutyusa segíthet Nancynek abban, hogy újra megtalálja a hangját? És talán Caitlin meg Eva számára sem olyan lehetetlen, hogy ismét álmodni merjenek?

Secret Pigeon Service: Operation Columba, Resistance And The Struggle To Liberate Europe
Between 1941 and 1944, sixteen thousand plucky homing pigeons were dropped in an arc from Bordeaux to Copenhagen as part of 'Columba' – a secret British operation to bring back intelligence from those living under Nazi occupation. The messages flooded back written on tiny pieces of rice paper tucked into canisters and tied to the legs of the birds. Authentic voices from rural France, the Netherlands and Belgium – they were sometimes comic, often tragic and occasionally invaluable with details of German troop movements and fortifications, new Nazi weapons, radar system or the deployment of the feared V-1 and V-2 rockets that terrorized London. Who were the people who provided this rich seam of intelligence? Many were not trained agents nor, with a few exceptions, people with any experience of spying. At the centre of this book is the ‘Leopold Vindictive’ network – a small group of Belgian villagers prepared to take huge risks. They were led by an extraordinary priest, Joseph Raskin – a man connected to royalty and whose intelligence was so valuable it was shown to Churchill, leading MI6 to parachute agents in to assist him.
A powerful and tragic tale of wartime espionage, the book brings together the British and Belgian sides of the Leopold Vindictive’s story and reveals for the first time the wider history of a quirky, quarrelsome band of spy masters and their special wartime operations, as well as how bitter rivalries in London placed the lives of secret agents at risk. It is a book not so much about pigeons as the remarkable people living in occupied Europe who were faced with the choice of how to respond to a call for help, and took the decision to resist.

Lacná kniha Sopky v dejinách (-70%)
My dnes žijeme vo vulkanicky nečinnej strednej Európe, no vo vzdialenejšom svete sa ustavične niečo deje. 4. 4. 2006: na vulkáne Ol Doinyo Lengai vo východoafrickej Veľkej riftovej doline zaznamenali silné erupcie a obrovskú lávovú fontánu. Jar a leto 2006: pod indonézskou Merapi museli 30 000 ľudí presťahovať do bezpečia. Koniec júna 2006: nad sopečným dómom Mount St. Helens v USA každodenne rástla lávová ihla o 1,5 metra. 16. 7. 2006: podvečer sa na Etne roztvorila puklina, z ktorej vytiekli do doliny Valle del Bove dva lávové prúdy. 16. 8. 2006: v Ekvádore vybuchla Tungurahua, vyžiadala si jednu ľudskú obeť, 60 ľudí sa stratilo, päť dedín bolo spustošených, 14 000 ľudí evakuovali. Okolo 20. 8. 2006: z najviac ohrozeného 8-kilometrového okolia filipínskeho Mayonu evakuovali 20 000 ľudí. Toto je iba neúplný a strohý výpočet za niekoľko mesiacov jedného roka. Sopky sú však na Zemi už vyše štyri miliardy rokov -- omnoho dlhšie ako ľudský rod, ktorému spôsobili nejednu katastrofu, a

The Human Planet
Meteorites, methane, mega-volcanoes and now human beings; the old forces of nature that transformed Earth many millions of years ago are joined by another: us. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion year history a single species is dictating Earth's future.
To some the Anthropocene symbolises a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word, the Anthropocene, is a heady mix of science, philosophy, religion and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. Tracing our environmental impact through time to reveal when humans began to dominate Earth, Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin show what the new epoch means for the future of humanity, the planet and life itself.

How To Be a Woman
Selected by Emma Watson for her feminist book club `Our Shared Shelf' It's a good time to be a woman: we have the vote and the Pill, and we haven't been burnt as witches since 1727. However, a few nagging questions do remain... Why are we supposed to get Brazilians? Should we use Botox? Do men secretly hate us? And why does everyone ask you when you're going to have a baby? Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin answers the questions that every modern woman is asking.

How to Write Well
Writing matters. We all do it, and we all admire it when it's done well. It doesn't just express us; it represents us. We write to connect with other people - to make them laugh, or cry, or think. We also write to work out what we think ourselves: there's nothing like it for concentrating the mind. So what's the secret of a stylish essay, or story, or email? How do you make your sentences sparkle? Dorothy Parker had a point when she said that writing "is the art of applying the ass to the seat", but in this slim volume, a leading editor who is also a pop critic and sportswriter shows you much fun you can have while sharpening your pen. Tim de Lisle's book is packed with good, simple advice: be clear, be concise, be vivid, be organised. In a few breezy chapters, he explains the secrets of good writing, and along the way he quotes dozens of great lines, from the plays of Shakespeare to the journalism of Caitlin Moran. "Writing," he says, "is like dancing, in that you can tell instantly if someone is good at it. But it's also like driving in that it can be learnt." Spend a couple of hours with this book and you'll learn things that will help you in years to come.
