The Temptation of Gracie
THE ENCHANTING NEW NOVEL FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR
**Winner of The Goldsboro Books Historical Romantic Novel Award 2019**
Never give up on your dreams, no matter how long you hold on to them . . .
When Gracie Burton stumbles upon an advertisement for a week-long cookery course in the heart of the Tuscan countryside,she cannot resist, and ploughs her life savings into the trip.
Her only family - daughter Carina and granddaughter Anastasia - are hesitant about what has prompted this seemingly random venture. But they have no sense of Gracie's past; of what could possibly be calling her to Italy. They have no idea that Gracie is harbouring the secret of an extraordinary life that preceded them . . .
Bestselling author, Santa Montefiore, returns with an unforgettable tale of love lost and rediscovered, set across the beautiful landscape of Italy

Star Wars - Halálosztag
A Birodalom börtönhajója, a Tisztogató ötszáz elítéltet szállít. Gyilkosok, rablók, lázadók és tolvajok, köztük Han Solo és Csubakka várja, hogy elérjék célállomásukat, egy fegyenctelepet. Az Ismeretlen Régiók mélyén, egy üres szektorban járnak, amikor a hajtóműveik hirtelen meghibásodnak. Szerencsére a közelben rátalálnak egy elhagyatottnak tűnő csillagrombolóra. Két felderítő osztagot is átküldenek, de csak az egyik tér vissza. Hamarosan az is kiderül, hogy a visszatérők szörnyű betegséggel fertőzték meg a Tisztogató utasait.
Ez azonban csupán a kezdet. A maroknyi túlélőnek rá kell ébrednie, hogy nem a betegség jelenti a legnagyobb veszélyt számukra. A csillagromboló fedélzetén sosem látott borzalmak várják őket: halottak térnek vissza az élők közé, hogy csillapítsák éhségüket.
Megindul a versenyfutás az életben maradásért, és semmi sem garantálja, hogy a halál a legrosszabb, ami az élőkkel történhet...

Star Wars - A Tatuin szelleme
Darth Vader és Palpatine császár halála nem hozta el a Birodalom bukását. Az Új Köztársaságnak folyamatos harcot kell vívnia a fennmaradásért, és most új veszély fenyegeti: felbukkan a feketepiacon egy alderaani műremek, ami a bolygó megsemmisítésekor tűnt el. A tárgy létfontosságú titkot rejt, egy kódot, melyet a Birodalomban dolgozó köztársasági kémek használnak a kapcsolattartáshoz. Ha a birodalmiak megtalálnák, az katasztrófához vezetne...
Han, Leia, Csubakka és C-3PO a Tatuinra utaznak, hogy részt vegyenek a műkincs árverésén. Amikor az aukción egy vita nyomán elszabadulnak az indulatok, a festmény eltűnik a zűrzavarban. Han és Leia pedig kétségbeesett versenyfutásba kezdenek, hogy rátaláljanak. Az egyébként is halálos veszélyeket rejtő tatuini sivatagban TIE-vadászok, rohamosztagosok, és vad buckalakók támadásaival kell szembenézniük. Ráadásul, Leia gyötrelmes harcot vív az apjához fűződő érzéseivel, miután rátalál valamire, ami olyan rég eltemetett titkokat tár fel, amitől talán mindörökre megváltozik a sorsa... és az Új Köztársaságé is.

Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
All-powerful, brilliant, decisive, ruthlessly effective ... this is the image of the CIA as portrayed in countless films and novels. It is wrong.
This shocking book, based on thousands of declassified documents and interviews with agents at all levels, shows the reality behind the glamorous myth: a blundering, chaotic and dangerously incompetent organization, so ineffective it was nicknamed 'Can't Identify Anything' by Nato forces. In a story of botched coups, missed targets, lost operatives and fatal errors, Tim Weiner shows how the CIA now poses a threat not only to the security of the US, but the world.

Walls Have Ears: The Greatest Intelligence Operation of World War II
At the outbreak of World War II, MI6 spymaster Thomas Kendrick arrived at the Tower of London to set up a top secret operation: German prisoners' cells were to be bugged and listeners installed behind the walls to record and transcribe their private conversations. This mission proved so effective that it would go on to be set up at three further sites-and provide the Allies with crucial insight into new technology being developed by the Nazis.
In this astonishing history, Helen Fry uncovers the inner workings of the bugging operation. On arrival at stately-homes-turned-prisons like Trent Park, high-ranking German generals and commanders were given a "phony" interrogation, then treated as "guests," wined and dined at exclusive clubs, and encouraged to talk. And so it was that the Allies got access to some of Hitler's most closely guarded secrets-and from those most entrusted to protect them.

The Order of Time
The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time
'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come'
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.
With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.
The Secret Lives of Planets
'A deft, frequently dramatic tour'
Nature
'The Secret Lives of Planets aims to be a "user's guide to the Solar System", but it also turns out to be an inspiration to look at the Solar System as a long cosmic journey and find our place in it.'
BBC Sky at Night
'A wonderfully clear and readable book . . . Gives a splendid overview of our Sun's planetary system, including its history and exploration'
Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell
*
We have the impression that the solar system is perfectly regular like a clock, or a planetarium instrument. On a short timescale it is. But, seen in a longer perspective, the planets, and their satellites, have exciting lives, full of events - for example, did you know that Saturn's moon, Titan, boasts lakes which contain liquid methane surrounded by soaring hills and valleys, exactly as the earth did before life evolved on our fragile planet? Or that Mercury is the shyest planet? Or, that Mars' biggest volcano is 100 times the size of Earth's, or that its biggest canyon is 10 times the depth of the Grand Canyon, or that it wasn't always red, but blue?
The culmination of a lifetime of astronomy and wonder, Paul Murdin's enchanting new book reveals everything you ever wanted to know about the planets, their satellites, and our place in the solar system.

Rewriting the Rules of the European Economy
The problems of today's Europe can be traced directly to the rewriting of the "rules of the economic game" that has taken place over several decades under the strong influence of neoliberalism. If Europe is to return to the innovative and dynamic economy it once had-and if there is to be shared prosperity, social solidarity and justice across Europe-the rules must be rewritten once again. With the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), Joseph E. Stiglitz lays out comprehensive programmes and policies designed to relieve the suffering of Europeans and restore a prosperous and equitable European Union.

Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange
On the shrouded corpse hung a tablet of green topaz with the inscription: 'I am Shaddad the Great. I conquered a thousand cities; a thousand white elephants were collected for me; I lived for a thousand years and my kingdom covered both east and west, but when death came to me nothing of all that I had gathered was of any avail. You who see me take heed: for Time is not to be trusted.' Dating from at least a millennium ago, these are the earliest known Arabic short stories, surviving in a single, ragged manuscript in a library in Istanbul. Some found their way into The Arabian Nights but most have never been read in English before. Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange has monsters, lost princes, jewels beyond price, a princess turned into a gazelle, sword-wielding statues and shocking reversals of fortune.
