A gyengék birodalmai
A felfedezések korát, Vasco da Gama és Kolumbusz Kristóf útjait Afrika, Amerika és Ázsia európai gyarmatosítása követte. A 15-18. század európai terjeszkedése átalakította a világot azzal, hogy megteremtette az első, valóban globális politikai és gazdasági rendszereket. A hagyományos magyarázat szerint az európaiak a katonai erőfölényüknek köszönhették a dominanciájukat. J. C. Sharman, a cambridge-i egyetem professzora ebben a könyvben megkérdőjelezi ezt az elméletet, alternatív magyarázattal szolgál, továbbá az eurocentrizmussal szakítva teljesen új nézőpontot kínál a nemzetközi politika, sőt a világtörténelem elmúlt fél évezredének vizsgálatához.
Sharman szerint egyrészt az európaiak a kora újkorban nem élveztek jelentős katonai fölényt, terjeszkedésük legalább annyira az alkalmazkodás és alárendelődés története, mint a dominanciáé. A spanyolok, portugálok, hollandok a tengereket uralták, a kereskedelmi útvonalakat akarták ellenőrizni, de Afrikában és Ázsiában általában tiszteletben tartották a helyi államok, közösségek szárazföldhöz fűződő érdekeit - utóbbiakat viszont a tenger nem érdekelte. Az újkor kezdetén - mondja továbbá Sharman - a legnagyobb hódítók és birodalomépítők valójában ázsiai hatalmak voltak, például az oszmánok a Közel-Keleten, vagy a Ming- és a Csing-dinasztia Kínában. Amerika meghódítását viszont a demográfiai katasztrófát okozó járvány tette lehetővé.
Ebből a nézőpontból a Nyugat dominanciája inkább a kivételt, Ázsia 21. századi felemelkedése pedig a normához való visszatérést jelenti.

Aston Martin Book
For the 50th anniversary of James Bond in 2012, two icons came together who jointly epitomize the very essence of British coolness. In Skyfall, Daniel Craig, as agent 007, powered across the screen in an Aston Martin DB5, the very same thrilling six-cylinder that Sean Connery drove in Goldfinger. Meanwhile, Aston Martin has celebrated a milestone birthday. In the century since it was founded by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin on January 13, 1913, the house has created a portfolio that ranges from the Le Mans-winning DB2 to 2013's Vanquish. Rene Staud has now captured Aston Martin's elegant luxury cars in photographic form. As in his bestselling books on the Mercedes 300 SL and the Porsche 911, Staud transforms automobile photography into a sensual experience and The Aston Martin Book allows readers to absorb the aura of a true British classic.

Arnhem
The Sunday Times #1 Bestseller
The great airborne battle for the bridges in 1944 by Britain's Number One bestselling historian and author of the classic Stalingrad
'Our greatest chronicler of the Second World War . . . his fans will love it' - Robert Fox, Evening Standard
'The eye for telling detail which we have come to expect from Antony Beevor. . . this time, though, he turns his brilliance as a military historian to a subject not just of defeat, but dunderhead stupidity' Daily Mail
On 17 September 1944, General Kurt Student, the founder of Nazi Germany's parachute forces, heard the growing roar of aeroplane engines. He went out on to his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders carrying the British 1st Airborne and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions. He gazed up in envy at this massive demonstration of paratroop power.
Operation Market Garden, the plan to end the war by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond, was a bold concept: the Americans thought it unusually bold for Field Marshal Montgomery. But could it ever have worked? The cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch, who risked everything to help. German reprisals were pitiless and cruel, and lasted until the end of the war.
The British fascination with heroic failure has clouded the story of Arnhem in myths. Antony Beevor, using often overlooked sources from Dutch, British, American, Polish and German archives, has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting, which General Student himself called 'The Last German Victory'. Yet this book, written in Beevor's inimitable and gripping narrative style, is about much more than a single, dramatic battle.
It looks into the very heart of war.
'In Beevor's hands, Arnhem becomes a study of national character' - Ben Macintyre, The Times
'Superb book, tirelessly researched and beautifully written' - Saul David, Daily Telegraph
'Complete mastery of both the story and the sources' - Keith Lowe, Literary Review
'Another masterwork from the most feted military historian of our time' - Jay Elwes, Prospect Magazine
'The analysis he has produced of the disaster is forensic' - Giles Milton, Sunday Times
'He is a master of his craft . . . we have here a definitive account' - Piers Paul Read, The Tablet

Revenger
The galaxy has seen great empires rise and fall. Planets have shattered and been remade. Amongst the ruins of alien civilisations, building our own from the rubble, humanity still thrives. And there are vast fortunes to be made, if you know where to find them ...Captain Rackamore and his crew do. It's their business to find the tiny, enigmatic worlds which have been hidden away, booby-trapped, surrounded with layers of protection - and to crack them open for the ancient relics and barely-remembered technologies inside. But while they ply their risky trade with integrity, not everyone is so scrupulous. Adrana and Fura Ness are the newest members of Rackamore's crew, signed on to save their family from bankruptcy. Only Rackamore has enemies, and there might be more waiting for them in space than adventure and fortune: the fabled and feared Bosa Sennen in particular. Revenger is a science fiction adventure story set in the rubble of our solar system in the dark, distant future - a tale of space pirates, buried treasure and phantom weapons, of unspeakable hazards and single-minded heroism ...and of vengeance ..

The Death of Democracy
`Brilliant. A timely reminder of the fragility of democracy and the dangers of extreme nationalism.' Nikolaus Wachsmann, author of KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps
'Intelligent, well-informed... intriguing.' The Times
'In this post-truth, alternative-facts American moment, The Death of Democracy is essential reading.' Kurt Andersen, author of Fantasyland
`An outstanding accomplishment.' Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland
A revelatory account of the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler, based on new and award-winning research, and recently discovered archival material.
The Death of Democracy explores one of the great questions in all of human history: what caused the fall of one of the most progressive governments in twentieth-century Europe, and the rise of the most terrifying?
Drawing on extraordinary individual stories to illustrate its broader arguments, this revelatory new account presents a panoramic portrait of Germany at a turning point, focusing on the global dimension of the Nazi phenomenon as part of a widespread reaction against a world order of triumphant, cosmopolitan liberal democracy and capitalism after the First World War. This was a world situation that pushed its opponents to embrace authoritarianism, nationalism and economic self-sufficiency, kick-starting a revolution reliant upon the innovative exploitation of new media technologies, and the formidable political and self-promotional skills of its leader.
Based on award-winning research and recently discovered archival material, The Death of Democracy is an authoritative and panoramic new survey of one of the most pivotal periods in modern history, and a book with a clear and important message for the world today.

Jill Shalvis, a The New York Times és a USA Today bestseller-szerzője egy kisvárosban él Sierra Nevadában, amely tele van fura alakokkal. Minden hasonlóság a könyveiben szereplő csodabogarakkal... hát... csupán a véletlen műve.
Van, aki szíveken tapos, van, aki szabályokon...
A szabadszellemű Chloe Treager szeret a szakadék szélén egyensúlyozni. Nővéreivel ellentétben, akik nemsokára férjhez mennek, nem áll készen arra, hogy megállapodjon, csendesen éldegéljen, és a nemrégiben felújított családi panziót vezesse. Állandóan vonzza a bajt, és ez a szerelmi életét is megpecsételi: felkelti az érdeklődését a rendkívül fagyos, ám felettébb szexi seriff, Sawyer Thompson, aki eltökélten próbálja megzabolázni Chloe vad jellemét.
Egy idő után Chloe egyetlen ballépése sem kerüli el Sawyer figyelmét, hiszen folyton a nyomában van. A seriff zord kiállása és titokzatos mosolya elég, hogy egy lány azért könyörögjön neki, hogy megbilincselje. Chloe életében először a törvényszegés helyett arról álmodik, hogy megadja magát. Vajon képes egy lázadó vadóc fenntartani a békét a törvény őrével? Vagy a lány sokszínű múltja távol tartja Chloét az örökké tartó szerelemtől és a biztonságos menedéktől Lucky Harborban, amire valójában vágyik?
