Supa Ya Ramen
Welcome to a bold new world of possibilities in this game-changing recipe collection from the founder of cult-status restaurant Supa Ya Ramen.
Having spent time exploring Tokyo in 2019, Luke Findlay became obsessed with the idea of pushing the ramen rules to their limit. What started as a wildly successful supper club in his home in Hackney, has since become two hugely popular restaurants in Dalston and Peckham, London. Eager customers queue round the corner for a bowl of this ‘traditionally inauthentic’, ‘new-wave’ ramen.
In his debut book, Luke shows us an eclectic cooking style that carefully considers each element of a perfect bowl. Flavoured oils, pickles and ferments, seasonings, broths, and toppings appear alongside Luke’s recipes for radical flavour combinations including the infamous Cheeseburger Mazesoba complete with Bread and Butter Pickles, and the ever-popular Celeriac Chashu bowl. Sides, sauces and desserts feature, too, with essentials like Hot Honey Drizzle, Classic Chilli Oil, Smacked Cucumber Pickles, and the tantalizing Malt Noodle Ice Cream with Miso Caramel.
Supa Ya Ramen is all about celebrating the craft of ramen without limits – this is a masterclass in infusing traditional techniques with the ingredients you love, while Luke effortlessly gives you the confidence to experiment with flavour to create your own perfect bowl and revolutionize your ramen game.

The Owl - A Biography
Uncover the secret life of owls through this beautiful guide to these secretive and charismatic birds.
Owls are among the most mysterious birds in the world. Their hauntingly beautiful calls and mostly nocturnal habits have long captured our collective imagination, inspiring more superstitions, folktales and myths than any other group of birds. Seven species of owl - the tawny, little, barn, long-eared, short-eared, snowy and eagle owl - can be found in the British Isles (out of sixteen different kinds across Europe). They have lived alongside people for thousands of years, yet we still know so little about their day-to-day lives.
Discover their fascinating lives, from the moment they first hatch, to the way they hunt their prey and how they raise the next generation. Explore the rich folklore they've inspired around the world and learn how, with a bit of luck, you can catch a glimpse of them yourself.
With beautiful illustrations throughout, and expert birdwatching tips, this eye-opening biography reveals the hidden secrets of one of the world's most famous and beloved birds.
Thank You
I thank the moon for the night time. I thank the sun for the day. I thank my boots for knowing the way…
There is so much to be thankful for! In this happy and hopeful picture book for the very young, we see the world through a child’s eyes as he thanks all of the things that give him joy – the sun, his bicycle, the jelly in his bowl, and so much more.
Jarvis creates beautiful collage art in this first book of gratitude; a book that inspires children to think about what they might like to say "thank you" to, too!
Last Bus to Woodstock
The first intriguing case that began Colin Dexter’s phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.
‘Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?’
Lewis was nobody’s fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
‘Yes, sir.’
An engaging smile crept across Morse’s mouth. He thought they could get on well together . . .
The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoon’s edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening, Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man.
But as the obvious leads fade into twilight and darkness, Morse becomes more and more convinced that passion holds the key . . .
Last Bus to Woodstock is followed by the second Inspector Morse book, Last Seen Wearing.

Printing Design for Graphic Designers is a wonderful journey into distinctive design and surprising creativity and will serve as a remarkable source of inspiration for graphic design and printing sector professionals.
Avocado Anxiety
The food stories behind your favourite fruits and vegetables.
Have you ever wondered who picked your Fairtrade banana? Or where all the wonky carrots go? How far do you think your green beans travelled to get to your plate? Above all, how do we stop worrying about our food choices and start making decisions that make a difference?
In an effort to make sense of the complex food system we are all part of, Louise Gray decides to track the stories of our five-a-day, from farm to fruit bowl, and discover the impact that growing fruits and vegetables has on the planet. Through visits to farms, interviews with scientists and trying to grow her own, she digs up the dirt behind organic potatoes, greenhouse tomatoes and a glut of courgettes.
In each chapter, Louise answers a question about a familiar item in our shopping basket. Is plant protein as good as meat? Is foraged food more nutritious? Could bees be the answer to using fewer chemicals? Are digital apps the key to reducing food waste? Is gardening good for mental health? And is the symbol of clean eating, the avocado, fuelling the climate crisis?
As pressure grows via social media to post pictures of food that ticks all the boxes in terms of health and the environment, these food stories from the author of the award-winning The Ethical Carnivore are also a personal story of motherhood and the realisation that nothing is ever perfect.
The Collector
#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue.
On the morning after the Venice Preservation Society’s annual black-tie gala, art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon enters his favorite coffee bar on the island of Murano to find General Cesare Ferrari, the commander of the Art Squad, eagerly awaiting his arrival. The Carabinieri have made a startling discovery in the Amalfi villa of a murdered South African shipping tycoon?a secret vault containing an empty frame and stretcher matching the dimensions of the world’s most valuable missing painting. General Ferrari asks Gabriel to quietly track down the artwork before the trail goes cold.
“Isn’t that your job?”
“Finding stolen paintings? Technically speaking, yes. But you’re much better at it than we are.”
The painting in question is The Concert by Johannes Vermeer, one of thirteen works of art stolen from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. With the help of a most unlikely ally, a beautiful Danish computer hacker and professional thief, Gabriel soon discovers that the painting has changed hands as part of an illicit billion-dollar business deal involving a man code-named the Collector, an energy executive with close ties to the highest levels of Russian power.
The missing masterpiece is the lynchpin of a conspiracy that if successful, could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. To foil the plot, Gabriel must carry out a daring heist of his own, with millions of lives hanging in the balance.
Pathless Forest
The incredible of one man's obsession to find and protect the world's largest flowers
As a child, Chris Thorogood dreamed of seeing Rafflesia - the plant with the world's largest flowers. He crafted life-size replicas in an abandoned cemetery, carefully bringing them to life with paper and paint. Today he is a botanist at the University of Oxford's Botanic Garden and has dedicated his life to studying the biology of such extraordinary plants, working alongside botanists and foresters in Southeast Asia to document these huge, mysterious blooms.
Pathless Forest is the story of his journey to study and protect this remarkable plant - a biological enigma, still little understood, which invades vines as a leafless parasite and steals its food from them. We join him on a mind-bending adventure, as he faces a seemingly impenetrable barrier of weird, wonderful and sometimes fearsome flora; finds himself smacking off leeches, hanging off vines, wading through rivers; and following indigenous tribes into remote, untrodden rainforests in search of Rafflesia's ghostly, foul-smelling blooms, more than a metre across.
We depend on plants for our very existence, but two in five of the world's species are threatened with extinction - nobody knows how many species of Rafflesia might already have disappeared through deforestation. Pathless Forest is part thrilling adventure story and part an inspirational call to action to safeguard a fast-disappearing wilderness. To view plants in a different way, as vital for our own future as for that of the planet we share. And to see if Rafflesia itself can be saved.

Ítéletnap
Lélegzetelállító hajsza egy ufókatasztrófa szemtanúi után.
A tisztás szélén álló szemtanúk rémült csendben figyeltek, szinte megkövültek, szólni sem tudtak. Az elébük táruló látvány groteszk volt, mintha ősi, lidércnyomásos álom támadt volna föl az ősemberek kollektív tudatalattijának sötétségbe vesző mélyéről. Mindegyik szemtanú másképp reagált. Egyik elájult. Másik hányt. Egy nő megállíthatatlanul reszketett. Egy férfi azt gondolta: "Szívinfarktust kapok!" Egy idősebb pap összekulcsolta a kezét, és keresztet vetett: "Segíts, Atyám! Segíts rajtunk! Ments meg minket a megtestesült gonoszságtól! Megláttuk a sátán képét. Vége a világnak! Eljött a végítélet napja."
Robert Bellamy parancsnoknak egy titokzatos körülmények között lezuhant állítólagos meteorológiai léggömb ügyét kell földerítenie. A nyomozás azonban rémületes utazássá válik: utazássá a rettenet, a felfoghatatlan események birodalmába
Helyünk és sorsunk Európában
"Azt akarom itt éreztetni és megértetni mindenekfölött, hogy a magyar célokon egyszerûen nem lehet változtatni. Ezért minden magyar korszak és nemzedék annyit ér, amennyire hû marad az árpádi és Szent István-i örökséghez." A mû végsõ soron három történetpolitikai tanulmány: Az eltévedt lovas maga a magyar nemzet, amely letévedt az õsi útról, az Európa ellenünk és önmaga ellen címû rész Trianon szörnyû igazságtalanságát jelöli meg az új világomlás közeledõ okaként, míg a harmadik, a Dunai kibontakozás elé az ésszerû, tartós, eszmei, elvi alapokat vázolja föl a magyar jövõ számára."

A titokzatos fojtogatók
Ki ne hallott volna már a legendás amerikai detektívregényhõsrõl, Nick Carterrõl? A híres nyomozó kalandjain annak idején százezrek izgulhattak. Hosszú idõ után most magyarul is újra olvashatjuk a nagy detektív bravúros nyomozásait. Nick Cartert egy szörnyû bûnténysorozat kinyozására kérik föl, egy különleges szerkezettel jómódú polgárokat fojtanak meg, majd elveszik értéktárgyaikat. A detektív természetesen leleplezi a bandát. A második történetben kegyetlen bankrablók után folyik a hajsza, amelynek során a mester kis híján ott hagyja a fogát. A harmadikban titkos iratok tûnnek el egy bank széfjébõl, és egy gátlástalan zsaroló is nehezíti Nick Carter dolgát.

Study for Obedience
A powerful, compressed masterwork for fans of Shirley Jackson and Claire-Louise Bennett
A woman moves from the place of her birth to a remote northern country to be housekeeper to her brother, whose wife has just left him. The youngest child of many siblings - more than she cares to remember - from earliest childhood she has attended to their every desire, smoothed away the slightest discomfort with perfect obedience, with the highest degree of devotion. The country, it transpires, is the country of their family's ancestors, an obscure though reviled people.
Soon after she arrives, a series of unfortunate events occurs - collective bovine hysteria; the demise of a ewe and her nearly-born lamb; a local dog's phantom pregnancy; the containment of domestic fowl; a potato blight. She notices that the local suspicion about incomers in general seems to be directed particularly in her case. What is clear is that she is being accused of wrongdoing, but in a language she cannot understand and so cannot address. And however diligently and silently she toils in service of the community, still she feels their hostility growing, pressing at the edges of her brother's property...

Making Money
The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is...
Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one.
The Royal Bank is facing a crisis, and it’s time for a change of management.
There are a few problems that may arise with the job . . . The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire – there's something nameless in the cellar and it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss. Meanwhile, people actually want to know where the money’s gone. It's a job for life.
But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, that life is not necessarily a long one.
He’s about to be exposed as a fraud, but if he’s lucky the Assassins’ Guild might get him first. In fact, a lot of people want him dead. Everywhere he looks he's making enemies.
Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies.
A texasi lovas
"Hát ? benne is volt öröklött ösztön, valami leküzdhetetlen vágy, hogy öljön. Az utolsó Duane volt, utolsó hajtása ennek a harcoló texasi törzsnek. De sem meghalt apjának emléke, sem szelíd hangú anyjának prédikációja, sem elõtte álló nagybátyjának intelme nem tudta megmásítani vérének ezt a sötét, szenvedélyes hajlamát. Az utolsó három év alatt valami érthetetlen indulat ébredezett benne, ami százszoros erõvel lángolt föl most újra és lett úrrá rajta?" A szerzõrõl: Zane Grey Amerika talán legnépszerûbb western-regény írója volt. Bár a két világháború között Magyarországon több mint tíz kötete jelent meg, napjainkban méltatlanul kevesen ismerik csak remek szórakozást nyujtó vadnyugati történeteit.

A megriadt hölgy esete
"Különös alakot vett észre az éjszaka homályában.. Hogy az ördögbe kerül ide lándzsás hindu harcos, ráadásul éjnek idején?... hirtelen vérfagyasztó halálordítás verte föl az éjszaka csöndjét. Briggs úgy érezte, hogy minden haja szála égnek mered." A kis faluban történt fojtogatások ügyében a Scotland Yard emberei - élükön Tanner fõfelügyelõvel - nyomoznak. A szálak hamarosan egy õsi nemes család kastélyába vezetnek, ahol rejtélyes dolgok történnek. A szellemesen megírt könyv végére azonban minden titokra fény derül. A szerzõrõl: Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) az angol krimi-, újság- és színmûíró számos népszerû kaland és detektívregény szerzõje volt. Már életében "a krimi királyaként" ünnepelték. Haditudósítóként dolgozott az orosz-japán háború során, hazatérését követõen írta meg elsõ könyvét, a Négy igaz embert. Korának hallatlanul termékeny és sikeres írója volt, mintegy 176 regényt és számos novellát írt 1932-ben bekövetkezett haláláig.
