Curse of the Night Witch
On Emblem Island all are born knowing their fate. Their lifelines show the course of their life and an emblem dictates how they will spend it.
Tor Luna was born with a leadership emblem, just like his mother. But he hates his mark and is determined to choose a different path for himself. So, on the annual New Year's Eve celebration, where Emblemites throw their wishes into a bonfire in the hopes of having them granted, Tor wishes for a different power.
The next morning Tor wakes up to discover a new marking on his skin...the symbol of a curse that has shortened his lifeline, giving him only a week before an untimely death. There is only one way to break the curse, and it requires a trip to the notorious Night Witch.
With only his village's terrifying, ancient stories as a guide, and his two friends Engle and Melda by his side, Tor must travel across unpredictable Emblem Island, filled with wicked creatures he only knows through myths, in a race against his dwindling lifeline.
The Fabric of Civilization
The story of humanity is the story of textiles-as old as civilization itself. Textiles created empires and powered invention. They established trade routes and drew nations' borders. Since the first thread was spun, fabric has driven technology, business, politics, and culture.
In The Fabric of Civilization, Virginia Postrel traces this surprising history, exposing the hidden ways textiles have made our world. The origins of chemistry lie in the coloring and finishing of cloth. The beginning of binary code-and perhaps all of mathematics-is found in weaving. Selective breeding to produce fibers heralded the birth of agriculture. The belt drive came from silk production. So did microbiology. The textile business funded the Italian Renaissance and the Mughal Empire; it left us double-entry bookkeeping and letters of credit, the David and the Taj Mahal. From the Minoans who exported woolen cloth colored with precious purple dye to Egypt, to the Romans who wore wildly expensive Chinese silk, the trade and production of textiles paved the economic and cultural crossroads of the ancient world. As much as spices or gold, the quest for fabrics and dyes drew sailors across strange seas, creating an ever-more connected global economy.
Synthesizing groundbreaking research from economics, archaeology, and anthropology, Postrel weaves a rich tapestry of human cultural development.

Scaling People
From a Stripe and Google executive, a practical guide to company building and scaling the most important resource it has: its people.
Having worked at both Google and Stripe from their early days, Claire Hughes Johnson has worked with founders and company builders to try to replicate their success. The most common questions she’s asked are not about business strategy—they’re about how to scale the operating structures and people systems of a rapidly growing startup.
Scaling People is a practical and empathetic guide to being an effective leader and manager in a high-growth environment. The tactical information it puts forward—including guidance on crafting foundational documents, strategic and financial planning, hiring and team development, and feedback and performance mechanisms—can be applied to companies of any size, in any industry. Scaling People includes dozens of pages of worksheets, templates, exercises, and example documents to help founders, leaders, and company builders create scalable operating systems and lightweight processes that really work.
Implementing effective leadership and management practices takes effort and discipline, but the reward is a sustainable, scalable company that’s set up for long-term success. Scaling People is a detailed roadmap for company builders to put the right operating systems and structures in place to scale the most important resource a company has: its people.

Fatherland
What do we owe the past? How to make peace with a dark family history? Burkhard Bilger hardly knew his grandfather growing up. His parents immigrated to Oklahoma from Germany after World War II, and though his mother was an historian, she rarely talked about her father or what he did during the war. Then one day a packet of letters arrived from Germany, yellowing with age, and a secret history began to unfold.
Karl Gönner was a schoolteacher and Nazi party member from the Black Forest. In 1940, he was sent to a village in occupied France and tasked with turning its children into proper Germans. A fervent Nazi when the war began, he grew close to the villagers over the next four years, till he came to think of himself as their protector, shielding them from his own party’s brutality. Yet he was arrested in 1946 and accused of war crimes. Was he guilty or innocent? A vicious collaborator or just an ordinary man, struggling to atone for his country’s crimes? Bilger goes to Germany to find out.
What follows is a literary suspense story: a tale of chance encounters and serendipitous discoveries in villages and dusty archives across Germany and France. Intimate and far-reaching, Fatherland is an extraordinary odyssey through the great upheavals of the past century, tracing one family’s path through history’s wreckage.
For readers of Bart van Es’s The Cut Out Girl or Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with the Amber Eyes, this is a story of middle lands, torn allegiances and loaded family inheritance.
Rudolf II., císař, jehož čas uplynul
Toto je skutečný příběh rudolfínské doby. Je to věrné vylíčení značně neveselých posledních dnů muže, který se přežil. Čtenář nahlédne do kontinuálního sledu fikcí a historických konstrukcí, které však mají společné to, že se samy o sobě reálně staly. Příběh se odehráva především v pitoreskní rudolfínské Praze se vším, co k tomuto tématu patří a tak, jak je stále všeobecně přijímáno. Vlastní story je nesena prostřednictvím historických postav, které však žijí, myslí a jednají tak, jako jednají jejich dnešní protějšky. Toto drama se odehrává v létech 1611 a 1612. Tedy v době mezi debaklem Pasovských v Čechách a smrtí Rudolfa II. Konečně právě tento císař, jeho reálný sebezáchovný plán, popis poslední fáze jeho prapodivného života a konečně i jeho neblahý osud jsou hlavními motivy knihy i jejího příběhu. Ačkoli nabízené vyprávění pracuje se známými a ověřenými fakty, je výjimečné tím, že tyto skutečnosti staví do nových souvislostí.

Montgomery Bonbon: Murder at the Museum
A brilliantly funny young murder mystery from a rising stand-up comedian, podcaster and filmmaker - and exciting new talent in children's fiction.
Many people go their whole lives without noticing anything that is afoot, amiss, or even untoward; without ever experiencing that toe-tingling, stomach-twisting sensation that a mystery is about to unfold.
Not Bonnie Montgomery - the world's best detective. Not that anyone (other than Grampa Banks) has heard of her… But they might have heard of the great Montgomery Bonbon, the well-dressed gentleman detective who (apart from the hat and moustache) looks suspiciously like a 10-year-old girl.
Their newest case: solving the mystery surrounding a highly suspicious death at the Hornville Museum. Together they'll interview some dodgy witnesses, scour the scene for clues and - above all - hope no one notices that Bonnie and Montgomery are never in the same room at the same time...
Miért nem szerethető Hillary?
Miért utálják legalább annyian a volt First Ladyt, mint ahányan szeretik és támogatják a szokványosnál jóval nagyobb politikai ambícióit?
Mitől és hogyan romlott meg vészesen Hillary és Obama viszonya Clinton asszony külügyminisztersége idején?
Mitől "borulhat a bili" a választási kampány utolsó szakaszában a volt külügyminiszter elektronikus levelezése vagy a Clinton alapítvány tevékenysége kapcsán?
Mi volt a legnagyobb veszekedés tárgya a házaspár életében az emlékezetes Lewinsky-ügy óta?
Végül, de nem mellékesen: Mi az igazi probléma a volt elnök férfiasságával?
Ed Klein ezekre a kérdésekre ad többnyire kifejezetten csattanós válaszokat a Hillary közéleti tevékenységének és a Clinton házaspár mindig zajos magánéletének legutóbbi tíz évéről írt leleplező könyvében. Az elnökválasztási kampány finisében azzal az alig tagadott célzattal jelentette meg a kötetet, hogy megakadályozza az egykori elnökfeleség visszatérését a Fehér Házba.
Írását nevezhetjük pletykakönyvnek is, de a The New York Times bestsellerszerzője a nyilvánosságra került tények mellett a Clintonék legbelső baráti köréből szerzett információk sokaságával támasztja alá értesüléseit. Márpedig a pletyka, ha megfelelni látszik a valóságnak, nem pletyka többé.
Egy biztos: Ed Klein intimitásokkal teli, de közben mosolyra ingerlően szórakoztató sikerkönyve bepillantást enged az amerikai belpolitika boszorkánykonyhájába.
"- Azt akarom magától, Barack, hogy hívja vissza a kibaszott kutyáit! - mondta Hillary.
Obama egy pillanatig döbbenten hallgatott. Aztán felállt, hátat fordított Hillarynak és kinézett a Wilson Rózsakertre néző magas ablakokon.
Jarrettt később elmesélte, hogy e pillanatban attól tartott, az elnöknek torkán akadt a szó, ami ritkán fordult elő ismeretségük sok éve alatt.
Mielőtt azonban Jarrett közbeléphetett volna, Obama megfordult és egyenesen Hillary szemébe nézett. Semmit sem tehetek, sem így, sem úgy - jelentette ki. - A dolgok már beindultak, én pedig nem tudok és nem akarok beavatkozni. A gondjait, egyenesen megmondom, saját magának köszönheti. Ha tisztességesen járt volna el...
Hillary félbeszakította.
- Mindig akadnak gyűlölködők, akiknek az a célja, hogy elkapják Clintonékat - mondta.
Felállt, búcsút intett, és azt motyogta, "köszönöm". Közben kisétált, nyitva hagyva maga mögött az Ovális Iroda ajtaját." (részlet a könyvből, a Hívja vissza a kutyáit c. fejezetből)
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton Bill Clinton elnöksége idején az Egyesült Államok First Ladyje volt.
Korábban, 1983 és 1992között Arkansas állam kormányzójának feleségeként mutatkozott be a politikában. Clinton elnök leköszönése után, 2001 és 2009 között, Hillary New York állam történetének első női szenátora volt. 2008-ban először indult az elnökválasztásokon, de Barack Obamával szemben alulmaradt a Demokrata Párt elnökjelöltségéért folytatott vetélkedésben. 2009 és 2013 között az Egyesült Államok külügyminisztereként működött, majd 2016-ban másodszor is harcba indult a Demokrata Párt elnökjelöltségéért, hogy az Egyesült Államok történetének első női elnöke lehessen.
The Lion House
Venice, 1522. Intelligence arrives from the east confirming Europe's greatest fear: the vastly rich Ottoman Sultan has all he needs to wage total war - and his sights are set on Rome. With Christendom divided, Suleyman the Magnificent has his hand on its throat.
From the palaces of Istanbul to the blood-soaked fields of central Europe and the scorched coasts of north Africa, The Lion House tells the true story of two civilisations in an existential duel and the rise of the most feared man of the sixteenth century. It is a tale of the timeless pull of power, dangerous to live with, deadly to live without.
Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes
At the time of his death in 2015, award-winning and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett was working on his finest story yet - his own.
The creator of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, Terry Pratchett was known and loved around the world for his hugely popular books, his smart satirical humour and the humanity of his campaign work. But that's only part of the picture.
Before his untimely death, Terry was writing a memoir: the story of a boy who aged six was told by his teacher that he would never amount to anything and spent the rest of his life proving him wrong. For Terry lived a life full of astonishing achievements: becoming one of the UK's bestselling and most beloved writers, winning the prestigious Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood.
Now, the book Terry sadly couldn't finish has been written by Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the Pratchett literary estate. Drawing on his own extensive memories, along with those of the author's family, friends and colleagues, Rob unveils the full picture of Terry's life - from childhood to his astonishing writing career, and how he met and coped with what he called the 'Embuggerance' of Alzheimer's disease.
A deeply moving and personal portrait of the extraordinary life of Sir Terry Pratchett, written with unparalleled insight and filled with funny anecdotes, this is the only official biography of one of our finest authors.
