Love at First Light
One week can change everything…
Private investigator Ethan James has had one too many brushes with death. But his newest case should be simple—it’s just a birth-parentssearch in stunning Lost Harbor, Alaska, helping out the local police chief. But as everyone knows, strange things happen in the tiny remotetown. From day one, everything seems to go wrong. The last straw? He suddenly has a sidekick he never expected—the super sexy, endlesslyquirky local baker.
Nothing is more important to Sweet Harbor Bakery owner Jessica Dixon than her friends—especially her BFF, Police Chief Maya Badger. When Maya has to drop a side investigation close to her heart, Jessica is determined to prove she has her back. Of course, she knows nothing about investigating. But she has her knowledge of the area, her uncanny intuition, and of course, her trusty crystal. Oh, and the help of the ridiculously gorgeous but entirely too cynical Ethan James. What could go wrong?
When these opposites attract, Jessica may come down to Earth long enough to find love, while Ethan might learn to trust his heart instead of his head…if they make it out of the wilderness alive.

El loco y la monja
La dramaturgia de Witkiewicz se caracteriza por una continua recurrencia de motivos que se encadenan y entrelazan. Los temas recurrentes de la creacion de Witkiewicz, que sobrevienen en sus dramas con una reiteracion a veces obsesiva, estan inseparablemente unidos a la filosofia del artista, que expuso no solo en sus escritos teoricos, sino tambien en sus novelas.
Los dramas ponen de relieve el motivo de la insaciabilidad frente a la vida: en un mundo donde la vida espiritual es aniquilada por la crisis profunda, y hasta por la degeneracion de la cultura y la civilizacion, el hombre víctima del tedio y del marasmo tanto intelectual como emocional, se obstina en perseguir su búsqueda desesperada de respuestas a las cuestiones fundamentales sobre el sentido de su existencia, intenta penetrar el Misterio de la Existencia.
Las piezas de Witkacy evocan con asombrosa intensidad la angustia suscitada por el proceso de mecanizacion, que despoja a la sociedad de su caracter humano. Los dos rostros de esa angustia son el miedo a la dictadura de las masas y el temor de la nivelacion social.
Es como profeta comprometido, augurando el declinar de la civilizacion, como Witkiewicz se deja abordar mas facilmente. Apoyandose en argumentos originales, predijo, como muchos otros, el declive del arte, la supresion de la individualidad, la extinción del sentido metafisico, que seran suplantados por la democratizacion de la vida y la llegada de una sociedad de robots, tan felices como intercambiables (Jan Błonski Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz como dramaturgo, Cracovia 1973).

Lady Zoe Keaneová se těší, že jednoho dne zdědí nejen titul hraběnky, ale také majetek, který k titulu patří, protože otec ji na tuto úlohu už od malička připravoval. O to větší je její šok, když se dozví, že její matkou je možná cikánská žena Drina, a pokud si v tom případě chce udržet titul i majetek, nemůže se vdát z lásky, jak si vždy přála, ale musí si vzít svého bratrance Jeremyho, který je dalším v pořadí čekatelů na titul, ale zároveň také slavným malířem žijícím v Americe. Zoe se před jeho příjezdem do Anglie obrací v zoufalství na Mantonovu detektivní kancelář, tzv. Vévodovy muže, aby jí pomohli vypátrat tajemství jejího zrození. Případ se přes Zoin nesouhlas dostává do rukou sukničkáře Tristana Bonnauda. Tomu se toto pátrání hodí, protože při něm zároveň chce vystopovat svého kamaráda, který by mohl vědět něco kompromitujícího na jeho nevlastního bratra George. K jeho údivu se oba případy vzájemně propojí. Ještě větší překvapení mu však přinese poznání, že přitažlivost, kterou cítí k lady Zoe, není pouhá touha po krásné ženě, ale skutečná láska…

Healthy At Last
'Chronic diseases may often be reversed and prevented by changing diet and lifestyle. In this important and compelling book, Eric Adams describes how. Highly recommended.'
- Dean Ornish MD, author of five New York Times bestsellers including UnDo It
Can you dramatically improve your health by embracing a plant-based diet? Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, believes that you can.
A police officer for more than two decades, Eric Adams was a connoisseur of fast food, and like so many people with stressful jobs, the last thing he had time to think about was eating healthily. Diabetes runs through his family, as it does for so many within the Black community. When he himself was diagnosed with the condition in 2016, he became determined to get to the root of the problem: the food he was eating. By switching to a vegan, wholefood diet, he lost weight, lowered his cholesterol, and improved his health beyond recognition.
Now armed with the hard science and real-life stories of others who have transformed their bodies by changing their diet and lifestyle, he is on a mission to spread the word that not only are these kind of radical health improvements possible, they can also be enjoyable.
With shopping tips and gentle lifestyle advice, Eric shows how you can become healthier without abandoning the food you love. he explores the origins of soul food and how it can be reimagined with healthy alternatives. From Chipotle Mac 'n' Cheese to Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies, Eric is keen to show this is not about restriction but instead finding joy in real food. Packed with up-to-date nutritional advice and recipes from the likes of Dr Michael Greger, Raymond Jackson, Paul McCartney, Alan Cummings and more, this is the perfect book for anyone looking to improve their health in small, manageable and pleasurable steps.
Places and Names
An astonishing account of the nature of war from acclaimed novelist and decorated former US marine Elliot Ackerman
In a refugee camp in southern Turkey, Elliot Ackerman sits across the table from Abu Hassar, who fought for Al Qaeda in Iraq and has murky connections to the Islamic State. At first, Ackerman pretends to have been a journalist during the Iraq War, but after he establishes a rapport with Abu Hassar, he reveals that in fact he was a Marine. The two men then compare their fighting experiences in the Middle East, discovering they had shadowed each other for some time: a realisation that brings them to a strange kind of intimacy.
Elliot Ackerman's extraordinary memoir explores the events that led him to come to this refugee camp and what, unable to forget his time in battle, he hoped to find there. Moving between his recent time on the ground as a journalist in Syria and his Marine deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, he creates a work of astonishing atmospheric pressure, one which blends the American experience with the perspectives and stories of the Arab world, and draws a line between them.
At once an intensely personal book about the terrible lure of combat and a brilliant meditation on the meaning of the past two decades of strife for the region and the world, Places and Names bids to take its place among our greatest books about modern war.
Bloom
Featured in The Guardian as one of the best picture books, and in The Sunday Times as children's book of the week.
There was once a beautiful flower and a little girl who loved it. She talked to it every morning on her way to school. The owner of the flower shouted at her. The next day, the flower did not open. The angry man didn't understand. He tried watering it. He tried giving it shade and he tried talking to it. He told it how wonderful he was, how important his job was and how lonely he felt. But it still refused to open. So, he asked the little girl. "Why don't you tell it how wonderful it is and how much you love it?" she said. As he did so, his own heart filled with love. And the flower bloomed.

A Bubble Burst
How a Stock Exchange Scare Dislocated the Life of the Empire For Two Days, a story in the "Doom of London" series in which the author sounds the clarion call of potential disasters that my befall the great city. Here, it is the tale of an investment "bubble", an irrational exuberance for buying shares of South African gold mining stocks. Excerpts:"From the highest to the lowest everybody was investing their savings in South Africa. ... In other words, there was a tremendous 'boom.' Nothing like it had ever been seen in the history of commerce. It was the golden hour of the promoter. Yet, for the most part, the schemes promised well. There was, however, an enormous amount of rubbish on the market. Some of the more thoughtful financiers scented danger ahead, but they were not listened to."All England was in the grip of the mania. Bona fide speculation and business had become gambling pure and simple. London thought of nothing else. The City was crammed with excited buyers and operators...."Then a cable telegram arrives from South Africa at one London newspaper office, saying that a tremendous earthquake has destroyed the Johannesburg water system and flooded the gold mines. The undersea cables from South Africa then broke down after the message was received, so no further messages could be sent or received to confirm or to learn more. The newspaper publishes the exclusive news. Investors panic and sell their shares at any price before they are ruined by plunging values. But is it true, or a fraud? -- a market manipulation?

The Mysterious Card
(This has been called one of the two most famous riddle stories of all time, along with "The Lady, or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton.)Burwell, a New Yorker in Paris, during intermission at the Folies Bergere, is inconspicuously given a card by a charming, elegant lady passing by his table with a gentleman. The card bore some French words written in purple ink. Not knowing that language, he was unable to make out the meaning. He returned at once to his hotel to inquire concerning the message on the card, where he asked the hotel manager to translate the roughly 20 words. As he read, the manager's face grew rigid with astonishment. He exclaimed: "Where did you get this, monsieur?"Burwell started to explain, but was interrupted by: "That will do, that will do. You must leave the hotel.""What do you mean?" asked Burwell, in amazement."You must leave the hotel, now--tonight--without fail!" commanded the manager, excitedly.At the next hotel, Burwell received the same reaction. Relentlessly pursuing the solution to the mystery of the card, he suffers a succession of unfortunate experiences. The story ends without a clear resolution, leaving the readers to ponder the mystery.The author revealed the solution to this puzzle in the sequel, "The Mysterious Card Unveiled," which he didn't publish until the next year, to keep his readers in suspense.(The sequel will also be found at Feedbooks soon after the first part has been published. Don't cheat -- guess a solution to the mystery before reading the sequel!)
