Radio Silence
The second novel by the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, the author of the million-copy bestselling Heartstopper books—now a major Netflix series.
What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong?
Frances has always been a study machine with one goal: elite university. Nothing will stand in her way. Not friends, not a guilty secret—not even the person she is on the inside.
But when Frances meets Aled, the shy genius behind her favorite podcast, she discovers a new freedom. He unlocks the door to Real Frances and for the first time she experiences true friendship, unafraid to be herself. Then the podcast goes viral and the fragile trust between them is broken.
Caught between who she was and who she longs to be, Frances’s dreams come crashing down. Suffocating with guilt, she knows that she has to confront her past…
She has to confess why Carys disappeared…
Meanwhile at university, Aled is alone, fighting even darker secrets.
It’s only by facing up to your fears that you can overcome them. And it’s only by being your true self that you can find happiness.
Frances is going to need every bit of courage she has.
A coming-of-age read that tackles issues of identity, the pressure to succeed, diversity, and freedom to choose, Radio Silence is a tour de force by the most exciting writer of her generation.

Working Backwards
'Essential for any leader in any industry' - Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
Working Backwards gives an insider's account of Amazon's approach to culture, leadership, and best practices from two long-time, top-level Amazon executives.
In 2018 Amazon became the world's second trillion dollar company after Apple: a remarkable success story for a company launched out of a garage in 1994. How did they achieve this? And how can others learn from this extraordinary success and replicate it?
Colin Bryar started at Amazon in 1998; Bill Carr joined in 1999. Their time at Amazon covered a period of unmatched innovation that brought products and services including Kindle, Amazon Prime, Amazon Echo and Alexa, and Amazon Web Services to life. Through the story of these innovations they reveal and codify the principles and practices that have driven the success of one of the most extraordinary companies the world has ever known, from the famous 14-leadership principles, the bar raiser hiring process, and Amazon's founding characteristics: customer obsession, long-term thinking, eagerness to invent, and operational excellence.
Through their wealth of experience they offer unprecedented access to the Amazon way as it was refined, articulated, and proven to be repeatable, scalable, and adaptable. Working Backwards shows how success is not achieved by the genius of any single leader, but rather through commitment to and execution of a set of well-defined, rigorously-executed principles and practices that you can apply at your own company, no matter the size.
Tennis
Formerly reserved for the elite, tennis has become a popular sport over the years. And even if you don't play yourself, the tennis lifestyle exerts a certain fascination. It's not uncommon at Grand Slams like Wimbledon to find it more interesting who's watching from the stands than who's down on the court.
However, famous tennis personalities are also a source of conversation - just remember John McEnroe's infamous outbursts. This, the ultimate tennis book is dedicated to the stories on and off the court, it explains the history of the sport, shows the most important courts and tournaments, the most exciting competitions and legendary athletes. Tennis fashion and equipment are also covered, and who knows, maybe after reading this entertaining tennis compendium you will feel the need to pick up a racket.

A korona kandjai - harmadik könyv
A magyar Szent Korona történetének befejező részét tartja kezében az olvasó. A harmadik kötet talán az előző kettőnél is izgalmasabb, noha ez nem a szerző érdeme: a koronával történtek olyan események az utolsó másfél száz évben, amelyek feszültebbek bármely kriminél, tévésorozatnál. 1849 és 1945 között háromszor elásták, a föld alá rejtették, nehogy rátaláljon egy-egy barbár, idegen hódító. Viselte a két utolsó uralkodó, Ferenc József és az első világháború vége felé IV. Károly. Voltak felfelé ívelő, szép szakaszai azokban a korokban, és voltak szégyenteljes bukásai, hiszen a korona mindig együtt haladt a magyar nép történetével. Az összefonódásnak olykor túl nagy ára volt. A könyv lapjain tanúi lehetünk, hogyan rejtették el Kossuth menekülő hívei, és hogyan nyomoztak utána éveken át a megszálló osztrák hatóságok. Ki árulta el végül a rejtekhelyet? Hogyan került aztán az 1849-es véreskezű zsarnok fejére, akiből pár évtized múltán a „nemzet szeretett atyja” lett? A története nemcsak e tárgy, hanem a körülötte élő és őt éltető emberek története is. Felül- és alulnézetből ismerhetjük meg azokat az időket. Mi történt a koronával a kommunista rémuralom, a Tanácsköztársaság alatt? Hogyan próbálta a trónja vesztett király visszaszerezni? Miért lett hazánk király nélküli királyság, milyen veszedelmeken mentek át a korona és őrzői a második világháború alatt? A közeledő szovjet hadsereg elől kivitték Nyugatra, majd Ausztriában egy benzines hordóban elásták, és nélküle adták meg magukat az amerikai hadseregnek. Hogyan került elő, miért tartották nyolc évig a megszállt Németországban, és hogyan került az Egyesült Államok legjobban őrzött erődjébe? Miféle diplomáciai és egyéb játszmák zajlottak le a 1970-es években, amikor kiderült, hogy Carter elnök kormánya visszaadná azt a magyaroknak? És milyen mesterkedésekkel és szépnek nem nevezhető akciókkal próbálták egyesek megakadályozni, hogy mégis visszakerülhessen a magyar nép tulajdonába?

What You Need to Be Warm
Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season.
In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.
Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home.
Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.
Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.
Sok hűhó Emmiért
"Akivel Emmi megtörtént, utólag se talál magyarázatot ? akár az ember, aki a fejére esett. Emmi lop, csal, bánt, komisz és hazudik és jó vele lenni. És mégis, Emmi itt van a nyakunkon a sok más baj mellett, amirõl jobb nem beszélni ? itt van mindig, mint ráadás, vagy talán minden baj eredõ oka. És veszekszünk vele ebédnél, reggel és este, a hálószobában, utcán és tribünökön, mint az a két légy, amely ugyanabban a levesben fuldokolt, mert ahelyett, hogy magába szállt volna, a levesbe szállt. Szeretni annyit tesz, mint lehetetlent kívánni felebarátunktól. És nem szeretni annyi, mint lehetetlent kívánni önmagunktól."

The Matter of Everything
How did a piece of gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms? What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays? How do we know all that we know about the world today?
It's not simply because we have the maths – it's because we have done the experiments.
Accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the creative and curious people who, through a combination of genius, tenacity and luck, staged the groundbreaking experiments of the twentieth century. From the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory, to the scientists trying to prove Einstein wrong (and inadvertently proving him right), The Matter of Everything takes us on a journey through the history of experiments that transformed our world.

What It's Like to be a Bird
The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing—and why: “Can birds smell?”; “Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?”; “Do robins ‘hear’ worms?”
In What It’s Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds—blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees—it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin.
David Sibley’s exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults—including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes—it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action.
Unlike any other book he has written, What It’s Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley’s world of birds.
