The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot
Life is short. No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. But as she is about to learn, it's not only what you make of life that matters, but who you share it with. Dodging doctor's orders, she joins an art class where she bumps into fellow patient Margot, a rebel-hearted eight-three-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they realize that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years. To celebrate their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories: of growing old and staying young, of giving joy, of receiving kindness, of losing love, of finding the person who is everything. As their extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet.
Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT unwraps the extraordinary gift of life even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love when we need them most.
'Emotional, involving, witty and sad. Everyone is going to love LENNI AND MARGOT' JILL MANSELL
'Lenni and Margot are two of the most wonderful, warm, witty and wise heroines I've ever met. Beautiful and glorious' CLARE POOLEY, author of The Authtenticity Project
'Such a delight! I fell head over heels for Lenni and Margot, their wit and vibrancy and marvellous outlooks on life. An utter joy' ABBIE GREAVES

From Stonewall Award winner Brandy Colbert comes a novel about first love, family, and hidden secrets that will stay with you long after turning the last page.
Dove "Birdie" Randolph works hard to be the perfect daughter and follow the path her parents have laid out for her: She quit playing her beloved soccer, she keeps her nose buried in textbooks, and she's on track to finish high school at the top of her class. But then Birdie falls hard for Booker, a sweet boy with a troubled past . .
. whom she knows her parents will never approve of.
When her estranged aunt Carlene returns to Chicago and moves into the family's apartment above their hair salon, Birdie notices the tension building at home. Carlene is sweet, friendly, and open-minded -- she's also spent decades in and out of treatment facilities for addiction.
As Birdie becomes closer to both Booker and Carlene, she yearns to spread her wings. But when long-buried secrets rise to the surface, everything she's known to be true is turned upside down.

The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks and vampires.

Through two centuries, however, there has been a frequent visitor to the Shadow Market from the City of Bones, the very heart of the Shadowhunters. As a Silent Brother, Brother Zachariah is sworn keeper of the laws and lore of the Nephilim. But once he was a Shadowhunter called Jem Carstairs, and his love, then and always, is the warlock Tessa Gray.
Follow Brother Zachariah and see, against the backdrop of the Shadow Market's dark dealing and festival, Anna Lightwood's doomed romance, Matthew Fairchild's great sin and Tessa Gray plunged into a world war. Valentine Morgenstern buys a soul at the Market and a young Jace Wayland finds safe harbour. In the Market is hidden a lost heir and a beloved ghost, and no one can save you once you have traded away your heart. Not even Brother Zachariah.
The series features characters from Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Dark Artifices and the upcoming Last Hours series.
Storm of Locusts
Kai and Caleb Goodacre have been kidnapped just as rumours of a cult sweeping across the reservation leads Maggie and Hastiin to investigate an outpost, and what they find there will challenge everything they've come to know in this action-packed sequel to Trail of Lightning.
When the Goodacre twins show up at Maggie's door with the news that Kai and the youngest Goodacre, Caleb, have fallen in with a mysterious cult, led by a figure out of Navajo legend called the White Locust, she knows what has to be done. The Goodacres are convinced that Kai's a true believer, but Maggie suspects there's more to Kai's new faith than meets the eye and so she vows to track him down.
With the aid of a motley collection of allies, Maggie must battle body harvesters, new-born casino gods and, ultimately, the White Locust himself, and when the full scope of his plans are revealed, Maggie's burgeoning trust in her friends, and herself, will be pushed to the breaking point - and not everyone will survive.

This Is Not Normal: The Politics of Everyday Expectations
This sharp and engaging book by leading governmental scholar Cass R. Sunstein examines dramatically shifting understandings of what's normal-and how those shifts account for the feminist movement, the civil rights movement, the rise of Adolf Hitler, the founding itself, political correctness, the rise of gun rights, the response to COVID-19, and changing understandings of liberty. Prevailing norms include the principle of equal dignity, the idea of not treating the press as an enemy of the people, and the social unacceptability of open expressions of racial discrimination. But norms can turn upside-down in a hurry. What people tolerate, and what they abhor, depends on what else they are seeing. Exploring Nazism, #MeToo, the work of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, constitutional amendments, pandemics, and the influence of Ayn Rand, Sunstein reveals how norms change, and ultimately determine the shape of society and government in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere.

Power Play : Elon Musk, Tesla and the Bet of the Century
Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future.
Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.
When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.
Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?
Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.
Úžasné Slovensko – Limitovaná edícia
Cestovateľ a fotograf Filip Kulisev, Master QEP, FBIPP, sa za uplynulé desaťročie prepracoval do svetovej špičky vo fotografovaní prírodných scenérií. Vo svojej deviatej knihe Úžasné Slovensko sa po prvý raz monotematicky venuje rodnej krajine a jej pozoruhodným miestam, ktorými priam oplýva. Slovensko predstavuje aj prostredníctvom fotografií z vtáčej perspektívy. Takto sa mu podarilo vyfotiť jedinú čriedu zubrov na Slovensku, jazero Morské Ooko skryté v bohatých lesoch Vihorlatu alebo Domašínsky meander na Váhu, ktorý sa nápadne podobá na jeho slávnejší náprotivok na rieke Colorado v americkom Grand Canyone. Málo známy Čabraďský hrad na strednom Slovensku ukazuje, že za Machu Picchu netreba cestovať až do Peru. Prírodné krásy sa tak nezužujú len na najznámejšie turistické lokality krajiny, ako sú Vysoké Tatry alebo Slovenský raj, ale predstavujú aj mnohé málo známe klenoty našej prírody. Pre Filipa však Slovensko však nie je len nádherná príroda, ale aj história, ktorá ovplyvňuje naše územie posledné tisícročia. Hradné ruiny, veľkolepé zámky, opustené kláštory i starobylé kostoly sú dôkazom, že Slovensko bolo vždy križovatkou dejín v Európe. Krásy krajiny sú tematicky rozdelené do troch geografických celkov:, Západné, Stredné a Východné Slovensko. Kniha vychádza v slovenskom a anglickom jazyku. Súčasťou jej exkluzívnej limitovanej edície je aj USB kľúč s 20 -minútovým filmom, ktorými Filip Kulisev ukazuje Slovensko z inej perspektívy.

Prežiť Afganistan
Peter Frankl (nar. 1947 v Žiline) je autorom viacerých próz. Napísal knihy História nielen nášho rodu, Hlupáci",V mene krvi, V zajatí trojitých rittbergerov a ďalšie. Za knihu Židia v Žiline obdržal prémiu Literárneho fondu za rok 2009. Vo svojom najnovšom diele Prežiť Afganistan približuje čitateľovi ťažko skúšanú ázijskú krajinu pod Hindúkušom. Prostredníctvom autentických zážitkov hlavného rozprávača knihy nás vťahuje do víru dramatických udalostí odohrávajúcich sa v tomto mnohonárodnostnom štáte na začiatku 80. rokov minulého storočia, ale zároveň poukazuje na zložitosť tamojších problémov a zamýšľa sa nad tým, prečo v Afganistane stále nie je mier. Jeho postrehy a poznatky sú o to vzácnejšie, že v danom čase bol, okrem sovietskych novinárov, jediným stálym dopisovateľom tlačovej agentúry z celého sveta, ktorý pôsobil vo vojnou zmietanom Afganistane.

The Left-Handed Booksellers of London
A girl's quest to find her father leads her to an extended family of magical fighting booksellers who police the mythical Old World of England when it intrudes on the modern world. From the bestselling master of fantasy, Garth Nix.
In a slightly alternate London in 1983, Susan Arkshaw is looking for her father, a man she has never met. Crime boss Frank Thringley might be able to help her, but Susan doesn't get time to ask Frank any questions before he is turned to dust by the prick of a silver hatpin in the hands of the outrageously attractive Merlin.
Merlin is a young left-handed bookseller (one of the fighting ones), who with the right-handed booksellers (the intellectual ones), are an extended family of magical beings who police the mythic and legendary Old World when it intrudes on the modern world, in addition to running several bookshops.
Susan's search for her father begins with her mother's possibly misremembered or misspelt surnames, a reading room ticket, and a silver cigarette case engraved with something that might be a coat of arms.
Merlin has a quest of his own, to find the Old World entity who used ordinary criminals to kill his mother. As he and his sister, the right-handed bookseller Vivien, tread in the path of a botched or covered-up police investigation from years past, they find this quest strangely overlaps with Susan's. Who or what was her father? Susan, Merlin, and Vivien must find out, as the Old World erupts dangerously into the New.

Glamour: 30 Years of Women Who Have Reshaped the World
Showcasing three decades of Glamour's Women of the Year, this
book is a record of the ceiling-shattering achievements that have
reshaped our world, and a manual for success for the women of today-and
tomorrow
For over 80 years, Glamour has been the preeminent female empowerment title in America. From Glamour's origin
as the magazine "for the girl with a job" to today, strong, ambitious
women have always taken center stage, and no place more so than at Glamour's annual Women of the Year Awards.
Launched in 1990, the annual awards have become a 30-year living,
breathing history, mapping out the evolution of women's power across the
worlds of film, politics, sports, activism, and more. Many of the names
are familiar. We've grown up with Billie Jean King, Madonna, Nora
Ephron, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Titans of change like Michelle Obama
and Malala Yousafzai have rocked our world in lasting ways. Stars such
as Reese Witherspoon, Ava DuVernay, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong'o, and
Ashley Graham have used their global influence to shift the needle in
filmmaking, reproductive rights, criminal justice, and representation.
Other names you may not know so well include women who have transformed
the futures of school children in local communities, and teens who
organized millions to fight against gun violence.
Glamour: 30 Years of Women Who Have Reshaped the World
touches on some of the most culturally important moments of our recent
history. Additionally, it includes original content from Shonda Rhimes,
Diane von Furstenberg, Arianna Huffington, and more to inspire future
generations. Most importantly, the book offers inspiration and service,
reminding today's women and girls that, in the words of 2015 Women of
the Year honoree Reese Witherspoon, ambition is not a dirty word.

The Age of Empires
Empires evoke potent images: Stanley, Livingstone and the colonial gallery of great explorers; the Spanish Conquistador's quest for gold and silver; and the Dutch heritage of trade in the East Indies. For over 500 years empires have been a feature of the political landscape and - a generation or more after the final collapse of most of the European Empires - the subject is still a major issue for historians. For some countries - Germany and Italy - overseas dreams were short-lived; for others - the United States and the Soviet Union - imperialist activity existed but was never accepted as an official state policy; and the disappearance of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires has obscured some of the imperial dimensions of these states.
This book shows how the maps of explorations, the chronologies of conquests, the records of settlers and administrators, the balance sheets of commerce and all else that made up the Age of Empires play a key role in explaining the global civilization of today.
