Random in Death: An Eve Dallas thriller (In Death 58)
In the new crime thriller from #1 New York Times-bestselling J.D. Robb, a small and easily concealed weapon wreaks havoc, and the killer is just a face in the crowd.
Jenna's parents had finally given in, and there she was, at a New York club with her best friends, watching the legendary band Avenue A, carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist, Jake Kincade. Then, from the stage, Jake catches her eye, and smiles. It's the best night of her life.
It's the last night of her life.
Minutes later, Jake's in the alley getting some fresh air, and the girl from the dance floor comes stumbling out, sick and confused and deathly pale. He tries to help, but it's no use. He doesn't know that someone in the crowd has jabbed her with a needle-and when his girlfriend Nadine arrives, she knows the only thing left to do for the girl is call her friend, Lieutenant Eve Dallas.
After everyone on the scene is interviewed, lab results show a toxic mix of substances in the victim's body-and for an extra touch of viciousness, the needle was teeming with infectious agents. Dallas searches for a pattern: Had any boys been harassing Jenna? Was she engaging in risky behavior or caught up in something shady? But there are no obvious clues why this levelheaded sixteen-year-old, passionate about her music, would be targeted.
And that worries Dallas. Because if Jenna wasn't targeted, if she was just the random, unlucky victim of a madman consumed by hatred, there are likely more deaths to come.
Zaklatás

A közvéleményt sokkolja az anya felmentése, Jack pedig fenyegető telefonhívásokat kap, sőt őt magát is megtámadják. A média kenőpénzről pletykál, ezzel tovább növeli a tömeghisztériát, amelynek egy fiatal lány is áldozatul esik, akinek csupán annyi a "bűne", hogy rendkívül hasonlít Sydney-hez. Amikor az ismeretlen férfi újabb áldozatokat szed a városban, kézjegyéül különös, fojtogatásra utaló nyomokat hagyva a szerencsétlenül járt nők nyakán, Jack és FBI-ügynök menyasszonya, Andie kétségbeesetten próbálnak a nyomára bukkanni. Nincs könnyű dolguk: Jacknek tisztáznia kell magát a korrupció vádja alól, meg kell védenie a szeretteit, szembe kell szállnia a könyörtelen médiával, és hogy elkaphassa a rafinált gyilkost, fel kell kutatnia kellemetlen védencét, Sydney-t. James Grippando legújabb regénye egyszerre akciódús krimi és izgalmas pszichothriller, a népszerű Jack Swyteck-sorozat méltó darabja.

Városok, stadionok, kocsmák
Városok, stadionok, kocsmák... a magyar szurkolók szentháromsága. A stadion és a sör olyan, amilyen, de ez a futball akkor is a miénk! Miért pont a Honvéd másfél évtizedét öleli fel a könyv? Talán mert itt a legszembetűnőbb a hanyatlás a régi Aranykorhoz képest. A fokozatos lecsúszás, fogyatkozó nézőközönség, csőd, kiesés, bundák, perek, unott játékosok, unott szurkolók. A megszűnés és az elköltözés állandó veszélye. Harc a többi tábor ellen, harc a táboron belül, feszültség a kapu mögötti szektorok és az oldallelátók között. Érdektelen mérkőzések mellé néha egzotikus túrák – legyen az magyar, vagy nemzetközi kupa. És ha egy hosszú éveken keresztül vergődő klub adta szenvedés még nem volna elég, akkor ott van élményfokozónak a válogatottunk. Ez is a miénk. Nem szerettem volna megszépíteni semmit erről a közegről. A társadalom elé sem akarok tükröt tartani, vagy huligánkrónikákkal lerántani a leplet a lelátók sötét világáról. Csupán emléket szeretnék állítani egy korszaknak, csapatoknak, barátoknak. Közben pedig szórakoztatni.

Charles Dickens élete
2012-ben ünnepli a világ Charles Dickens születésének kétszázadik évfordulóját. A mai napig olvassuk regényeit, karcolatait és karácsonyi történeteit - de mennyit tudunk az életéről?
Nagyanyja egy főúri házban volt házvezetőnő. Apja tisztviselő a haditengerészetnél, már amikor nem ül az adósok börtönében. Dickens tizenkét éves, amikor elhelyezik egy cipőpasztagyárban - és magára hagyják. Anyja a kisebb testvérekkel a börtön környékén él, a kiskamasz Charles pedig szobát bérel és beosztja heti fizetését. Elhatározza, hogy ő soha nem fog anyagi gondokkal küzdeni. Egy év múlva apja szabadul, a család újra egyesül, de Dickens megtanulta a leckét: csak magára számíthat.
Tizennyolc évesen parlamenti gyorsíró, huszonkét évesen Boz álnéven kiadja első kötetét, huszonöt évesen férj és apa, és megjelenik A Pickwick klub. Innentől pedig nincs megállás. Tíz gyerek, másfél tucat regény, két végén égő gyertya, egy új, nagy szerelem és ötvennyolc évesen a halál.
Claire Tomalin, a legnépszerűbb angol életrajzíró (Jane Austen élete) ismét bölcs, együttérző, alapos életrajzot írt egy nagy íróról, aki nem volt tökéletes, csak zseniális.

Other Modern Movement: Architecture, 1920-1970
A revealing new look at modernist architecture, emphasizing its diversity, complexity, and broad inventiveness
Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. The Other Modern Movement profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work realized between 1922 and 1962.
Frampton's account offers new insights into iconic buildings like Eileen Gray's E-1027 House in France and Richard Neutra's Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Antonin Raymond's Tokyo Golf Club and Alejandro de la Sota's Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. Foregrounding the ways that these diverse projects employed progressive models, advanced new methods in construction techniques, and displayed a new sociocultural awareness, Frampton shines a light on the rich legacy of the Modern Movement and the enduring potential of the unfinished modernist project.

Už na počátku příběhu jedinečného zázraku vyslovuji rád pro nás velmi krásnou, a zároveň nepříznivou, obavu či spíše nezaměnitelný fakt, že muž s maskou přezdívaný ve všech ledových arénách Nového světa Dom či Dominátor, na něhož pak rovněž zírají Ev
ropa a celé Rusko, už zřejmě nikdy nebude. Kdysi jeden neobyčejně obyčejný kluk z Pardubic se nyní zřejmě definitivně rozloučil s brankářskou výstrojí. A Míša, jak mu jinak doma neřekli, si totiž ještě nedávno vychutnává chůzi po červeném koberci a v

ejku a šel do útoku. Pokaždé jsem dobrovolně zabral místo v brance mezi dvěma botami. Prostě mě bavilo chytat, skákat po puku a válet se po ledě." A dnes máme v Dominikovi Haškovi zřejmě nejlepšího hokejového brankáře všech dob!? Chris Osgood, bývalý
vynikající gólman Rudých křídel z Detroitu, s nímž Dominik slavil v roce 2008 svůj druhý Stanley Cup, o fenoménu řekne: "Je to Wayne Gretzky mezi brankáři. Výborně četl hru, uměl to jako žádný jiný gólman. Byl superhvězda a pořád se chtěl zlepšovat.
" Čím se stane Dominátor vlastně tak výjimečným? No přece docela změní až převrátí brankářský svět. Má svůj, naprosto neortodoxní, styl. Rozvalí se na ledě, pustí hokejku a dokáže zázračně lapit puk i v nejnepravděpodobnější pozici. Jak vůbec jde čas

We Are Electric
A NEW SCIENTIST BEST POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK 2023
A NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB MUST READ 2023
A STYLIST BOOK TO BRING YOU WISDOM IN 2023
You may be familiar with the idea of our body's biome - the bacterial fauna that populates our gut and can so profoundly affect our health. In We Are Electric we cross the next frontier of scientific understanding: discover your body's electrome.
Every cell in our bodies - bones, skin, nerves, muscle - has a voltage, like a tiny battery. This bioelectricity is why our brains can send signals to our bodies, why we develop the way we do in the womb and how our bodies know to heal themselves from injury.
When bioelectricity goes awry, illness, deformity and cancer can result. But if we can control or correct this bioelectricity, the implications for our health are remarkable: an undo switch for cancer that could flip malignant cells back into healthy ones; the ability to regenerate cells, organs, even limbs; to slow ageing and so much more.
In We Are Electric, award-winning science writer Sally Adee explores the history of bioelectricity: from Galvani's epic eighteenth-century battle with the inventor of the battery, Alessandro Volta, to the medical charlatans claiming to use electricity to cure pretty much anything, to advances in the field helped along by the unusually massive axons of squid. And finally, she journeys into the future of the discipline, through today's laboratories where we are starting to see real-world medical applications being developed.
The bioelectric revolution starts here.
The Stone Age: Sixty Years of the Rolling Stones
From Sunday Times bestselling author Lesley-Ann Jones
On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back.
These five white British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and 'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling music ever recorded.
Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over, but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be gathering moss, but on they roll.
Yet how did the ultimate anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today? Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can the artist ever be truly divisible from the art?
Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
Good, bad and often ugly, here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
Andre Saraiva: Graffiti Life
The first and much-anticipated book by visual artist, club creator, and nightlife impresario André Saraiva presents his wide range of works, from street art and contemporary art to graphic design, photography, and his influences on fashion and nightlife.
Street-cool visual artist-cum-nightlife guru, André Saraiva, whose life dovetails into graffiti subculture, chic jet-setting, and the fashion world, presents an autobiographical visual diary of sorts, a revealing window into the worlds he inhabits. This visual journey is an interactive and striking object itself, with either a vibrant pink cloth- or blue cloth-cover (randomly selected), Saraiva’s distinctive handwriting in foil, and seven pop-ups he designed.
Chances are that while you’ve been strolling through the streets of Paris, London, New York, or Los Angeles, you may have caught a glimpse of Saraiva’s signature graffiti of Mr. A on a random street wall. Or you may have seen him in the Banksy film, Exit Through the Gift Shop; spied him in the front rows of the Paris Fashion Week shows; or seen him at one of his many chic nightclubs. Graffiti Life is a never-before-seen look at the artist’s many spheres through which he effortlessly moves: street culture, contemporary art, graphic design, photography, fashion, and nightlife. It follows Saraiva’s art/life trajectory, and includes his Instagram-worthy tags on the streets of Paris; countless silk-screened posters; paintings and sculpture; creative collaborations with Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Colette, and more.

A tale brimming with warring gods, rebellious humans, and the goddess of love caught between them whose destiny has the power to transform the shape of the world.
Stories are sly things…they can be hard to catch and kill.
Inanna is an impossibility. The first full Anunnaki born on Earth in Ancient Mesopotamia. Crowned the goddess of love by the twelve immortal Anunnaki who are worshipped across Sumer, she is destined for greatness.
But Inanna is born into a time of war. The Anunnaki have split into warring factions, threatening to tear the world apart. Forced into a marriage to negotiate a peace, she soon realises she has been placed in terrible danger.
Gilgamesh, a mortal human son of the Anunnaki, and notorious womaniser, finds himself captured and imprisoned. His captor, King Akka, seeks to distance himself and his people from the gods. Arrogant and selfish, Gilgamesh is given one final chance to prove himself.
Ninshubar, a powerful warrior woman, is cast out of her tribe after an act of kindness. Hunted by her own people, she escapes across the country, searching for acceptance and a new place in the world.
As their journeys push them closer together, and their fates intertwine, they come to realise that together, they may have the power to change to face of the world forever.
The first novel in the stunning Sumerians Trilogy, this is a gorgeous, epic retelling of one of the oldest surviving works of literature.
