Arthur, The Amazing Mantis
A Soulful Story for Nature Lovers of All Ages
This is the story about a relationship between an insect and a human being. It is a story of serendipity and delight, respect and wonder, and the ultimate understanding that we are all truly connected by an invisible and sacred web.
A praying mantis mysteriously dropped from above one early October day. I named him Arthur. He spent almost a month with me, and during that time we formed a mutually curious and tender bond. The photographs I made when we were together became the inspiration to share this story, a soulful, quiet account of our connection.
Arthur, the Amazing Mantis is a beautifully told story of two gentle souls that find one another, connecting through spirit and the universal language of love. It took me back to a place of childlike innocence and remembering the simple, sacred, quiet aspects of life that if we are moving too fast may go unnoticed. —Amy Norris
By taking the time to carefully observe and connect with a tiny creature that so many of us would have overlooked, Elsa Kendall has given us a magically microcosmic story of love, purpose, loss, and transcendence. Her heartfelt story and beautiful "be-here-now" documentary photographs powerfully connect the reader to little Arthur, the truly amazing mantis — and to a world of wonder available to all of us if we just take the time to slow down, stop, look and care. —George Lawrence

The Bronze Horseman
A magnificent epic of love, war and Russia from the international bestselling author of TULLY and ROAD TO PARADISE
Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose palaces and avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg.
Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents.
The routine of their hard impoverished life is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanov family, for Leningrad and particularly for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young man named Alexander.
The family suffers as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn inexorably to each other, but theirs is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, and at its heart lies a secret that could mean death to anyone who hears it.
Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's vast war machine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a turning point in the century that made the modern world.

Cinderella Is Dead
It's 200 years since Cinderella found her prince, but the fairytale is over.
Sophia knows the story though, off by heart. Because every girl has to recite it daily, from when she's tiny until the night she's sent to the royal ball for choosing. And every girl knows that she has only one chance. For the lives of those not chosen by a man at the ball ... are forfeit.
But Sophia doesn't want to be chosen - she's in love with her best friend, Erin, and hates the idea of being traded like cattle. And when Sophia's night at the ball goes horribly wrong, she must run for her life. Alone and terrified, she finds herself hiding in Cinderella's tomb. And there she meets someone who will show her that she has the power to remake her world ...

Recover Your Losses By The Power Of God
This book is written to quicken your mortal body, stair up your spirit, and encourage you to stand to your feet and recover all that Satan and his cohorts have stolen from you. You can’t afford to allow the Devil to retain the things he has stolen from you and continue stealing from you. There is a popular saying that; “every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.” I don’t know how long the enemy has been stealing from you; it is time to recover and reclaim your losses.Many people lose one thing or the other every day because Satan steals every day. As God gives us daily benefits, so Satan gives us daily problems. Unfortunately, the majority of these set of people who had lost great riches and virtues to Satan, are making little or no effort to recover their belongings from the Devil.In John 10:10 Jesus said;”The thief does not come except to steal, and kill, and destroy”Many people are conversant with this scripture, yet they ignore this divine alarm. In this scripture, Jesus informed us that Satan is a thief and he comes to steal. It is the nature of Satan to steal. If he succeeds in stealing, it becomes easier for him to kill and destroy. This menace of Satan and his cohorts have reduced the potency of the virtues which God deposited in the lives of His people, and also render the destiny of many people useless. Satan has robbed many people of their salvation, gifts, talents, marriages, jobs, businesses, properties, and even their lives.There are certain facts about a thief you should know;1) A thief comes without notification.2) A thief comes to rob you of your goods and belongings.3) A thief can do anything to get what he wants, even if it means killing someone.4) A thief is cruel and wicked.5) A thief sees stealing as a business and not an act of evil.6) A thief comes each time he noticed that something good has come into someone`s life.7) A thief is not mindful of your loss. He is mindful of his gain. Etc.These ungodly characteristics of a thief should call for your attention, and also awaken you into realizing the damages the Devil might have done in the lives of many people, and the destruction he may still cause if you slumber in sleep and merry in relaxation without praying down the mighty hand of God to put an end to these evil operations of the Devil. You must be mindful of whatever the Devil has stolen from you and quickly seek for recovery through divine intervention. In the same John 10:10 where Jesus informed us about evil plans of the Devil against us, Jesus also told us what He (Jesus) has come to do for us;”I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”Satan came to steal, but Jesus came to recover and restore. Do you want to recover your losses? Then read this book meditatively and pray the prayers in it, and it will amaz

Science Illustration
Science and illustration have always walked hand in hand, and not only the scientific community but the general public as well have used images since early history to understand natural phenomena. Moreover, from Galileo to Einstein, our modern history has been written with the key support of art and with all the insights it contributes. This XL-sized book collects more than 300 graphic works that range from original sketches to technical drawings, and from meticulous hand illustrations to computer-generated images.
The Western scientific revolution that started in the 14th century catapulted humankind into a completely new way of understanding how nature and the world around us behaved. Whether it was diseases caused by viruses or the vast galaxies of the cosmos, a new army of professionals turned their minds to unlocking and reshaping the universe of our experience with a dialectic positioned between theory and evidence. The field of illustration and the development of knowledge became inseparably intertwined, as can be seen by the majestic works shown in this book that were produced by the scientists and artists who specialized in this combined field.
Explore here the work of more than 700 scientists and over 300 discoveries in anatomy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, and many other scientific fields, through the visual works that bring them to life. Combined with detailed texts explaining their scientific significance, the illustrations in this book introduce the work of such pionieering scientists as Andreas Vesalius, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. The visualizations themselves present game-changing ideas and discoveries from the 15th century to the present day, notably including Galileo's watercolors of the moon, Bourgery's unparalleled Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery, Florence Nightingale's statistical diagrams to indicate war casualties, and Einstein's quickly scribbled ideas for his general theory of relativity.
Many discoveries in science take place as the result of counterintuitive thinking, and in order to visualize their work scientists have to connect with the resources of collective knowledge and in turn convey new information back to people. This book is for everyone who is continually amazed by the wonders of our world and who wants to find out more about it through the remarkable illustrations used to present advances in scientific understanding.

Začína sa súdny proces s nevlastným otcom mladej Johany Márquezovej. V sále je aj tehotná inšpektorka kriminálnej polície Amaia Salazarová. Pred rokom sa jej podarilo vyriešiť zločiny spojené s pánom lesov basajaunom, ktoré naplnili život obyvateľov údolia Baztán strachom. Amaia teraz zhromaždila obviňujúce dôkazy proti Jasónovi Medinovi, ktorý sa inšpiroval praktikami basajuana a znásilnil a zohavil dospievajúcu dcéru svojej ženy Johanu. Sudca však nečakane oznámi, že súdne pojednávanie sa odročuje, lebo obvinený spáchal na toalete v súdnej budove samovraždu. Správa vyvolá medzi prítomnými rozhorčenie a hnev. Vzápätí miestna polícia Amaiu odvolá: obvinený zanechal list na rozlúčku a adresátom je práve ona. Správa obsahuje stručný a znepokojujúci odkaz: Tarttalo. Slovo, ktoré sa spája s bájnou bytosťou z baskickej mytológie. Inšpektorka sa tak ocitá v spleti nečakaných udalostí, ktoré ju celkom pohltia a dovedú do nečakaného konca.
