100 Years of Fashion
100 Years of Fashion documents in pictures the most exciting and diverse period in fashion: from 1900 to today, covering high society, uniforms, sportswear, streetwear and couture. It will appeal to everyone with an interest in fashion as well as students. The last hundred or so years bore witness to the transformation of women's fashion. The restrictive corsetry of the early twentieth century gave way to looser styles such as those made fashionable by French fashion designer Paul Poiret. As women's lives changed dramatically under the shadow of two World Wars, so the style of female dress was altered beyond recognition. From home dressmaking to couture, from rationing to 'The New Look', from the birth of the teenager to mass manufacture, from high society to celebrity culture. Over 400 photographs and illustrations, many published for the first time, tell the stylish story of a fashion revolution. This is the third in Cally Blackman's series of fashion titles, previously publishing 100 Years of Fashion Illustration and 100 Years of Menswear with Laurence King Publishing. As featured in The Cut Magazine If you need a book with visual representation of the history of fashion this one is one of the best - Goodreads reader Wonderfully illustrated history of fashion from the early 1900's to now. Discusses styles, materials, trends and famous icons of style. Comprehensive and a great read. - Amazon review

A Court of Silver Flames
With bits of Buffy, Game Of Thrones and Outlander, this is a glorious series of total joy - Stylist
Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined Court of Thorns and Roses series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly - proud, swift to anger and slow to forgive. And since the war - since being made High Fae against her will - she's struggled to forget the horrors she endured and find a place for herself within the strange and deadly Night Court.
The person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred, winged warrior who is there at Nesta's every turn. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. And when they are forced to train in battle together, sparks become flame.
As the threat of war casts its shadow over them once again, Nesta and Cassian must fight monsters from within and without if they are to stand a chance of halting the enemies of their court. But the ultimate risk will be searching for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

Messi - Bůh, který sestoupil na Zemi
"Bůh sestoupil na Zemi a jmenuje se Messi." Vzkázal světu Lionelův bývalý spoluhráč a střelec Barcelony Samuel Eto´o krátce po té, co Messi zapsal už před dvěma lety v El Clásiku proti Realu svůj barcelonský gól s číslem 500, a navíc gól vítězný.
Ovšem dnes už je na více než 700 vstřelených brankách při dosažení 50 hattricků ve všech soutěžích, mimořádností nejsou ani čtyři góly v zápase. Suma sumarum 50 branek za sezonu, více než gól v jednom zápase! Podobně jako Cristiano Ronaldo. Oba si na posledních dvanáct let podmanili fotbalový i sportovní svět. Větších celebrit v něm zřejmě nenajdeme. Oproti skvělému Portugalci má však ve vlastnictví o jeden čerstvý klenot navíc. Na sklonku roku 2019 získává už svůj šestý Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího fotbalistu planety a poprvé obdrží Cenu Laureus, je vyhlášen nejlepším sportovcem světa.
Lionel, dnes společně právě s Cristianem - po boku Pelého, Maradadony a Cruijffa - jeden z nejlepších fotbalistů historie a technicky nepochybně nejvybavenější hráč, nepřestává za svou úžasnou kariéru děkovat také dvěma obyčejným a zároveň výjimečným ženám. Matce, a především babičce. Obě nesou pro Lea vzácné jméno Célia.
"Posílám vzkaz mojí babičce, která mě k fotbalu přivedla, ale už se nemůže dívat, kam jsem se díky němu dostal."
Maminka, vynikající kuchařka, o své matce, tedy oné skvělé babičce, mimochodem umné cukrářce, prozradí: "Trvala na tom, aby Leovi dovolili hrát, když ještě neměl věk, byl nejmladší a nejmenší. ‚Přihrajte Lionelovi, tomu malému chlapci, protože on umí střílet góly,' vykřikovala vždycky. "A byla to ona, přesvědčila nás, abychom mu koupili kopačky."
Cesta, jakou Leo, dodnes v podstatě skromný kluk, k velké slávě ušel, se podobá příběhu z fantastického filmu. Jejím základem bylo, že od svých čtyř let miloval balon. "Drobek", jak mu říkali, v jedenácti míč ovládá jako nějaký kouzelník, ve škole s ním všichni chtějí hrát, protože střílí nejvíc gólů.
Jenže - jak fotbalová nebesa nadělí Leovi talent, tak mu v předpubertálním věku ubírají na výšce. Nedostává se mu růstového hormonu a ve dvanácti třinácti zůstává sotva na sto třiceti centimetrech! Trpasličí chlapec, navíc často nemocný, byť se jeví jako génius, přece nikdy nedoroste do velkého fotbalu, vidí trenéři. Fyzicky hru prostě nezvládne. Mají strach Lea vůbec postavit, hrozí, že ho mnohem urostlejší protihráči zadupou do země. Kdo si tohle vezme na triko?
Nejdříve tradiční klub z Rosaria, Atlético Newell´s Old Boys. Když chlapec oblékne jeho červenočerné barvy, má sedm let, ovšem tehdy ještě nikdo o jeho budoucích strastech netuší. Válí jako fotbalový bůžek, takže se nad jeho chatrným růstem pomalu nikdo nezamýšlí. První otazníky přicházejí a jejich rébus nastává po Leových desátých narozeninách. Resumé vyhlíží jednoznačně. Pokud se chce jedinečný talent prosadit, musí podstoupit náročnou hormonální léčbu. Kdo ji ale zaplatí, když rodiče, pomalu zoufalí Célie a Jorge, prostředky nemají? Po složitých peripetiích přelétne třináctiletý Lionel deset tisíc kilometrů do akademie Barcelony, výjimečné líhně La Masia. Modročervení "blaugranas" v roce 2000 zatím spíše pouze tuší, že získávají unikátní talent, ale že se stávají vlastníky nejcennějšího fotbalového klenotu současnosti, poznávají až o pár let později. Leo zatím pod dohledem nejlepších odborníků vyroste k 169 centimetrům.
V necelých osmnácti oblékne dres prvního týmu Barcy a současně přivede Argentinu k titulu mistrů světa dvacetiletých. Už v roce 2009, ve svých dvaadvaceti, poprvé získá Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího fotbalistu planety. Vystřídá na trůnu Cristiana Ronalda a pak nejcennější individuální trofej zvedne jako první fotbalista historie nad hlavu hned šestkrát (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015 a 2019)!
Lionel a Christiano, novodobí giganti fotbalu, pořádají střelecké dostihy. Co na tom, že Ronaldo vstřelí v jedné sezoně za Real Madrid 60 branek, když Messi jich v Barce zapíše 73, a překoná i legendu Gerda Müllera. Leo se v jediném ročníku Champions League raduje čtrnáctkrát, aby ho pak Cristiano v roce 2014 překonal hned sedmnácti zásahy. Lionel by se mohl pyšnit celou řadou fantastických statistik, chlapec z Rosaria však jen skromně řekne: "Lámání rekordů je výsledkem několika věcí: ve fotbale se to však stane, když vám k tomu pomůže tým. Myslím si, že se pořád učím nové věci, a určitě tady bude vždycky něco, co se dá zlepšit."
Messi a Ronaldo jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli to, co bylo, a předběhli i to, co bude. A Diego Maradona, mistr světa z roku 1986, už o osmnáctiletém Leovi bez obav prohlásí: "Viděl jsem hráče, který převezme mou úlohu v argentinském fotbale. Jeho jméno je Messi a je mým nástupcem. On mě jednou nahradí a bude nejlepší na světě."
Diegova předpověd se naplňuje, až na jediné. Zatímco Leo vyhraje s Barcelonou vše, co je možné, krom jiného deset španělských titulů a čtyřikrát Champions League, jako kapitán Albicelestes zatím dosáhne "jen" na světové stříbro na Mondialu v Brazílii. A tak toužebně vzhlíží k zisku Světovému poháru na MS v Kataru 2022 a myslí na svůj největší sen. "Chtěl bych se stát s Argentinou mistrem světa."
Vydejme se na Messiho neuvěřitelnou cestu dlážděnou výsostným uměním velkého hráče a posetou fotbalovými diamanty.

A Short History of Russia
Can anyone truly understand Russia? Let one of the world's leading experts show you how, using the fascinating history of a nation to illuminate its future.
Russia is a country with no natural borders, no single ethnos, no true central identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone's 'other'. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war and peace, poets and revolutionaries.
In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world's most misunderstood nation, Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the end of the Soviet Union - plus the arrival of an obscure politician named Vladimir Putin.
Sorcery of Thorns
All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer's Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery-magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather.
Then an act of sabotage releases the library's most dangerous grimoire, and Elisabeth is implicated in the crime. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.
As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she's been taught-about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.
The heir apparent to Diana Wynne Jones, no one can match Rogerson's dark whimsy or joyous magic. This book is sheer delight."Jessica Cluess, author of the Kingdom on Fire trilogy

The Law of Innocence
"The law of innocence is unwritten. It will not be found in a leather-bound code book. It will never be argued in a courtroom. In nature, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the law of innocence, for every man not guilty of a crime there is a man out there who is. And to prove true innocence the guilty man must be found and exposed to the world."
Heading home after winning his latest case, defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - is pulled over by the police. They open the trunk of his car to find the body of a former client.
Haller knows the law inside out. He will be charged with murder. He will have to build his case from behind bars. And the trial will be the trial of his life.
Because Mickey Haller will defend himself in court.
With watertight evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the book to prove he was framed.
But a not-guilty verdict isn't enough. In order to truly walk free, Haller knows he must find the real killer - that is the law of innocence...

All the Frequent Trouble of Our Days
Born and raised in America, Mildred Harnack was twenty-six when she enrolled in a PhD programme in Germany and witnessed the meteoric rise of the Nazi party. In 1932, she began holding secret meetings in her apartment - a small band of political activists that by 1940 had grown into the largest underground resistance group in Berlin.
She recruited Germans into the resistance, helped Jews escape, plotted acts of sabotage and collaborated in writing leaflets that denounced Hitler and called for revolution. When the first shots of the Second World War were fired she became a spy, couriering top-secret intelligence to the Allies. On the eve of her escape to Sweden, she was ambushed by the Gestapo. During a hastily convened trial at the Reichskriegsgericht - the Reich Court-Martial - a panel of five judges sentenced her to six years at a prison camp, but Hitler overruled the decision and ordered her execution. On 16 February 1943, she was strapped to a guillotine and beheaded.
Harnack's great-great-niece Rebecca Donner draws on extensive archival research and newly discovered documents in her family archives in this astonishing work of nonfiction. Fusing elements of biography, political thriller and scholarly detective story, Donner brilliantly interweaves letters, diary entries, notes smuggled out of a Berlin prison, survivors' testimony, and a trove of declassified intelligence documents into a powerful, epic story, reconstructing the moral courage of an enigmatic woman nearly erased by history.

Relentless: Secrets Of The Sporting Elite
In his quest to define 'sporting greatness', double Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee has spent nearly 4 years interviewing and training with some of the greatest minds in sport to discover what it takes to become - and remain - a champion.
Featuring:
Ian Botham * Mark Cavendish * Alastair Cook * Alex Danson * Richard Dunwoody * Donna Fraser * Chris Froome * Anna Hemmings * Denis Irwin * Michael Johnson * Kilian Jornet * Stuart Lancaster * AP McCoy * Ronnie O'Sullivan * Michael Owen * Adam Peaty * Ian Poulter * Paula Radcliffe * Ian Thorpe * Mark Webber * Shane Williams
From an early age Alistair Brownlee has been obsessed with being the very best, and not just improving his sporting performance across his three specialist triathlon disciplines of swimming, cycling and running, but also understanding how a winner becomes a dominant champion. Winning gold in consecutive Olympic Games has only strengthened this need and desire.
Over the last 4 years Alistair has been on a journey to learn from the best, talking to elite figures across multiple sports as well as leading thinkers and scientists, to understand what enabled these remarkable individuals to rise to the very top, and to push the limits of human capability in their relentless pursuit of perfection.
Alistair uses these fascinating interviews, along with extensive research, to explore a range of sports and environments - athletics, cycling, football, rugby, horseracing, hockey, cricket, golf, motor racing, snooker, swimming and ultra-running - to reveal how talent alone is never enough and how hard work, pain, pressure, stress, risk, focus, sacrifice, innovation, reinvention, passion, ruthlessness, luck, failure and even a lockdown can all play a crucial part in honing a winning mentality and achieving sustained success.
The Dictionary of Lost Words
Motherless and irrepressibly curious, Esme spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of lexicographers are gathering words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary.
Esme's place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day, she sees a slip containing the word 'bondmaid' flutter to the floor unclaimed.
Over time, Esme realises that some words are considered more important than others, and that words and meanings relating to women's experiences often go unrecorded. She begins to collect words for another dictionary: The Dictionary of Lost Words.

ONE QUESTION.
ONE CHOICE.
NINE PATHS TO THE REST OF HER LIFE...
One day, Rose Napolitano's marriage ends.
Her husband wants a baby - but motherhood has never been part of the plan. One day, Rose Napolitano's marriage survives.
She loves her husband. Could she reimagine her future?
One day.
One fight.
Nine different lives.
Following the butterfly effect of one life-defining choice, nine times over, The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano winds through all the paths and decisions that shape a life. It cuts to the heart of what it means to be a woman. Every expectation, every choice, every path, every outcome - every piece of oneself that's lost and found along the way... For every woman there are many stories.
These are Rose's.
