Deep Blue
Take a deep breath
Steve Backshall was nine years old the first time he saw a shark, while on holiday with his family in Malaysia. It was the beginning of a life-long fascination with these 'lords of the sea', and the oceanic life around them. His career as one of the world's most popular naturalists and explorers has taken him to countless underwater places, many never before seen by others. And he's also been witness to the startling decline in fortune of our oceans' wild inhabitants over the past fifty years.
Deep Blue is a book a lifetime in the making: a remarkable blend of memoir, travel, and marine and environmental science that takes us on an unforgettable tour of the many worlds of aquatic life: from underwater deserts and rainforests to the evolution of ocean heroes like the sea turtle and the Great White, from the genesis of ocean life to the rapidly declining state of white polar seas and coral reefs. It's both a love letter to our precious oceans and rallying cry for what we must to do save them.
Vampire Slayer The Vol. 1
After Buffy loses her powers, it’s up to a new Slayer to take up the mantle; are they ready?
In the first arc of WILLOWVERSE, trying to help Buffy heal from her trauma proves to be more than Giles and Willow bargained for! She’s left without her powers or identity, and it’s up to an unprepared and inexperienced new Slayer to take up the mantle—Willow. But thankfully Willow isn’t alone, as the spell also leads to another newly-activated Slayer, serving as a guide for this speed-run of training. But even with the threat of 4 terrifying and sometimes zany monsters, the darkest threat may be Willow herself, as she struggles to cope. Can Willow’s allies save her from herself? Writer Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich) along with artists Michael Shelfer (Domino: Hotshots), Sonia Liao (A Spark Within the Forge), Puste (Rick and Morty Presents Morty’s Run), and Claudia Balboni (Fairlady) bring the first arc of a new Vampire Slayer!

The Cryptopians
The story of the idealists, technologists, and opportunists fighting to bring cryptocurrency to the masses.
In their short history, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gone through booms, busts, and internecine wars, recently reaching a market valuation of more than $2 trillion. The central promise of crypto endures—vast fortunes made from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet regulated by many governments.
The recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his creation: Ethereum. In this book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto’s most well-known billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity.
This fascinating book shows the crypto market for what it really is: a deeply personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and power.

Breathe
To win the climate war, you first need to win the climate argument.
For many years, Sadiq wasn't fully aware of the dangers posed by air pollution, nor its connection with climate change. Then, aged 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with adult-onset asthma - brought on by the polluted London air he had been breathing for decades.
Scandalised, Sadiq underwent a political transformation that would see him become one of the most prominent global politicians fighting (and winning) elections on green issues. Since becoming Mayor of London in 2016, he has declared a climate emergency, introduced the world's first Ultra-Low Emission Zone, and turned London into the first-ever 'National Park City'.
Now, Sadiq draws on his experiences to reveal the seven ways environmental action gets blown off course - and how to get it back on track. Whether by building coalitions across the political spectrum, putting social justice at the heart of green politics, or showing that the climate crisis is a health crisis too, he offers a playbook for anyone - voter, activist or politician - who wants to win the argument on the environment.
It will help create a world where we can all breathe again.
Briliáns barátnőm - Nápolyi regények 1.
Ferrante fever - így nevezték a jelenséget, amely pár éve a Nápolyi regények megjelenésekor végigsöpört a világon. A híradások szinte mindegyike megemlítette a szerző személyét körüllengő homályt, ugyanis az Elena Ferrante írói álnév. A mai napig nem tudni, hogy kit takar, bár a tetralógia sikerének köszönhetően a találgatások megszaporodtak. Olyannyira, hogy 2016 október elején bejárta a nemzetközi és a hazai sajtót Claudio Gatti oknyomozó újságíró cikke, amelyben számos adattal alátámasztva felfedni véli a szerző kilétét: szerinte Ferrante valójában egy Olaszországban kevéssé ismert fordító, Anita Raja.
Lila Cerullo és Elena Greco tűz és víz. Lina fiús, robbanékony, erőszakos, parancsolásra született, Elena lágy, odaadó, szorgalmas, figyelmes és önfeláldozó. Jobban nem is különbözhetnének, sorsuk mégis egy életre összefonódik az 1950-es évek poros nápolyi udvarain. Hol elválaszthatatlan barátnők, hol fékezhetetlen szellemi riválisok. Nem tudnak se egymással, se egymás nélkül élni, kiegészítik, inspirálják egymást; egyikük sem lenne a másik nélkül az, aki. Mindketten egy szegénységgel küszködő, büszke, erőszakos férfitársadalomban próbálnak a maguk módján boldogulni, előrébb jutni, a tőlük telhető legnagyobb függetlenséget kivívni.
A Briliáns barátnőm, melyben Lila és Elena gyermek- és kamaszkorát ismerjük meg, egy négykötetes regényfolyam, a Nápolyi regények első része. Elena Ferrante gazdag érzelmekkel és lenyűgöző intelligenciával ábrázolja két főszereplője személyiségfejlődését és a mindent felülíró szeretetet és csodálatot, mely évtizedeken át táplálta és mélyítette barátságukat.
Elena Ferrante a kortárs világirodalom nagy rejtélye. Regényei zajos sikert aratnak, díjakat nyernek, számos nyelvre lefordítják őket, de kiléte ismeretlen. Annyi tudható róla, hogy Nápolyban született és ő a Tékozló szeretet, az Amikor elhagytak és a Nő a sötétben szerzője. Első két regényét Mario Martone, valamint Roberto Faenza filmesítette meg. La Frantumaglia című műhelynaplójában levelezését, jegyzeteit valamint kiadatlan írásait gyűjtötte össze. 2007-ben La spiaggia di notte (Éjjeli strand) címen egy gyerekkönyve is megjelent. A Briliáns barátnőm a Nápolyi regények című tetralógiájának első kötete.
Visszatérés Netherfield Parkba Pemberley krónikák
Szerelem. Árulás. Halál. A Darcy és a Bingley család három generációjának története folytatódik a közép-viktoriánus kor politikai és társadalmi színpadán Jonathan Bingley sok éve lemondott politikai karrierjéről - a családi béke kedvéért. Ám a rosingsi uradalom intézőjeként végzett munka nem elégíti ki, így kapva-kap a lehetőségen, amikor pártja aktívabb szerepvállalásra kéri fel. Szinte ezzel egy időben értesül róla, hogy Netherfield Park ismét eladó. Úgy érzi, szülei egykori otthonánál ideálisabb helyet keresve sem találna arra, hogy meleg családi fészket teremtsen szerettei számára. Ám legnagyobb megdöbbenésére felesége mindkét döntését heves tiltakozással fogadja. Vitáik olyan torzsalkodássá fajulnak, amely már-már a házasságuk felbomlásával fenyeget. Aztán egy végzetes, tragédiával végződő éjjelt követően megkezdődik az egymásra mutogatás, a másik hibáztatása. Úgy tűnik, Netherfield Park hiába várja új lakóit.

In the Lives of Puppets
From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
New for paperback! This paperback edition includes the poignant short story 'Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!' set in the same extraordinary world.
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller*
*Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
The Honey-Don't List
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners comes a laugh-out-loud love story about two assistants tasked with keeping their bosses' relationship on the rails, who start to feel sparks of their own . . .
For the last decade, Carey Douglas has poured her heart into working for the Tripps. Now, with a new show, a book about to launch and a brand built on their marriage, the couple are on the verge of superstardom. There's only one problem: they can't stand each other.
With disaster looming, the Tripps embark on their book tour and Carey is given the impossible task of keeping the quarrelling couple in line. Only this time she has a companion: James McCann, engineering whiz, know-it-all and enticing new addition to the team.
While on the road, Carey and James vow to work together to keep their bosses' secrets hidden. But if they stop playing along - and start playing for keeps - they may actually have the chance to build something beautiful together . . .
From the 'hilariously zany and heartfelt' (Booklist) Christina Lauren comes a romantic comedy that proves if it's broke, you might as well fix it...
The Stone Age
On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back.
These five white British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and 'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling music ever recorded.
Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over, but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be gathering moss, but on they roll.
Yet how did the ultimate anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today? Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can the artist ever be truly divisible from the art?
Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
Good, bad and often ugly, here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
PAWS: Gabby Gets It Together
Are you a fan of Raina Telgemeier or Shannon Hale? Then don’t miss PAWS, a new graphic novel series about best friends, cute dogs, and all the fun (and trouble) that comes with them. Perfect for fans of Real Friends, Roller Girl, and Allergic, this funny and heartwarming series is the Baby-Sitters Club for pets!
Meet best friends Gabby Jordan, Priya Gupta, and Mindy Park. They’re different in just about every way—personalities, hobbies, family, and more—but they have a few important things in common: they’re all in the same class, they absolutely love animals, and for reasons that are as varied as the trio themselves none of them can actually have any pets.
Unable to resist the adorable temptation any longer, the girls decide to come up with a way to finally get their hands on some furry friends. And, as luck would have it, it seems like their neighborhood is in need of some afterschool dog-walkers. So, just like that, PAWS is born!
But it turns out that running a business is harder than it looks, especially with three co-owners who are such different people. The girls soon argue about everything, from how to prioritize their commitments to the best way to keep their doggy clients happy. And when their fighting ultimately leads to a doggo crisis, will it tear their business and friendship apart or will they be able to get it together to save the day?
