'Magnificent, epic' Marian Keyes
Sweeping from Paris and Chartres to the City of Tears itself - the great refugee city of Amsterdam - this is a story of one family's fight to stay together and survive against the devastating tides of history . . .
May 1572: for ten violent years the Wars of Religion have raged across France. Neighbours have become enemies, countless lives have been lost, and the country has been torn apart over matters of religion, citizenship and sovereignty. But now a precarious peace is in the balance and a royal wedding has been negotiated. It is a marriage that could see France reunited at last.
An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding in Paris in August. But what Minou does not know is that the Joubert family's oldest enemy, Vidal, will also be there. Nor that, within days of the marriage, on the eve of the Feast Day of St Bartholomew, her family will be scattered to the four winds and one of her beloved children will have disappeared without trace . . .

The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen
Starting not with the United States, but with the Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations, and worked to exclude as well as liberate.
Whether reinterpreting Japan's momentous 1889 constitution, or exploring the significance of the first constitution to enfranchise all adult women on Pitcairn Island in the Pacific in 1838, this is one of the most original global histories in decades.

Chair Anatomy - Design and Construction
Chairs are the design pieces that most of us use most of the time: from offices to dining tables, from lounging to working, the importance of good chair design to our well-being cannot be underestimated. Accordingly, designers and architects, who seek solutions to space, comfort and function, have grappled with making the perfect - or most unusual - chairs for centuries. But we only really see the end product, and have little idea of how our chair was made, or even perhaps, why it is special.
Chair Anatomy reveals in photos and illustrations the form and the construction details - the anatomy - of a selection of fifty chairs chosen from the last 150 years of modern chair design. It also introduces the designers behind these chairs, their backgrounds and their routes to creating the chairs. In reducing chairs to their constituent parts, the book gets to the heart of each design: how pieces are designed and produced to fit together; why a certain material imparts a certain quality, functional advance or comfort level; and how the chair's structure can withstand stress while being elegant and economical to produce. In short, a chair is architecture in miniature.
'Exploding' these chairs gives insight into the careful and detailed thinking that has gone into a piece of furniture that we take for granted, and offers designers and students, in a single reference source, a truly nuts-and-bolts perspective on masterpieces of design.

Because the digitalization of the working world is in full swing. But while automation and artificial intelligence have long since entered many companies, others still vehemently resist the new developments and innovations and do what they have always done.

Because healthy sleep is next to the correct nutrition one of the most important conditions to stay healthy - among other things because during sleep toxins are disposed of by the body and the immune system is strengthened. But for many people good sleep is difficult: Our life today is characterized by stress, hectic, sensory overload and constant mobility; switching off and relaxing is therefore difficult for many people. But sleeping pills are not the solution: Mental support, simple health-promoting applications or the right sleeping environment can make a significant contribution to good and healthy sleep.

Because self-love is so easy to say and is especially in challenging times incredibly difficult. Often and quickly the so important self-care, i.e. taking care of your own well-being, is confused with egoism, while in our society self-sacrifice is demanded. For this reason, and because of negative experiences that often reach far back into childhood, many people find it so incredibly difficult to give themselves the urgently needed self-love. But only those who love and accept themselves can give enough to others.

Because especially in economically uncertain times it is important to have an overview of your finances. After all, we all work too hard for our money to let it slip through our fingers in the end. But opinions are divided as to what constitutes a good investment: There are, among other things, individual shares, funds, gold, real estate and many other possibilities, which make it urgently necessary to deal with one's own finances in more detail, as the universally popular savings are only destroyed by inflation. Therefore, with the right financial planning we can save a lot of money in everyday life and then invest it profitably.

Because many applicants do not even make it to the interview because their applications are not noticed by the great mass of the competition or formal mistakes in the cover letter or their resume throws them right out of the race. The right application method can help here, but unfortunately there are still many myths about it: Is it better to apply online or is it still possible to use the classic application folder? What does the perfect application folder with guaranteed success look like? Is the much-discussed cover letter now obsolete or is it still demanded by many employers? And what role do motivation letters play? The important thing is to stand out positively with your application, to present yourself excellently and thus convince both personnel and employers.

Because it is not only sudden changes and crises that frighten people: many people also suffer from anxiety disorders and depressions in their normal everyday life. It is therefore crucial not only to lose yourself in panic in unfamiliar and seemingly dangerous situations, but rather to know the causes of your own often exaggerated fears and to do something about it step by step. Resilience exercises, meditation and breathing techniques can help to realistically assess dangers and risks, to evaluate situations objectively and to react adequately.

Because those who want to achieve goals, implement ideas and change something, especially in larger organizations, often fail due to hidden or openly communicated resistance. Impatient ones, who then rush forward and extend the famous elbows, have already lost. After all, success and increased power are usually the result of a sophisticated strategy and a tactically clever approach that helps to secure one's own status. If you also take a closer look at the methodology of successful strategists, you will find that they are often the product of an optimal concept and the right decisions at the right time.

Because at the age of 40 or 50, in their midlife, to start all over again seems difficult, even impossible for many people.
