The paths of seven people cross in this metropolis. Seven seekers, for whom this city might be a final destination. Or perhaps it is only the start of a new journey? A successful businessman; a celebrated supermodel; a man who is forever the outsider; a young mother who suddenly loses everything; a talented surgeon, who could not give the woman he loved all that she desired; a brothel’s madam; and a charming young woman adopted at birth.

How to Meet Your Self
The roadmap to personal empowerment
Are you ready to meet your Self?
In recent years, Dr Nicole LePera has become the leading voice in psychological self-healing, helping millions of people around the world rise out of survival mode to consciously create authentic lives they love. In her first book, How to Do the Work, Dr Nicole offered readers a revolutionary holistic framework for self-healing. Now, in How to Meet Your Self, she shares an interactive workbook designed to help every reader uncover their authentic self.
We all fall into conditioned habits and patterns - products of our past - that lead to cycles of stuckness, pain, and self-destruction. But as Dr. Nicole shares, we also have the innate ability to awaken to and change the behaviours that no longer serve us, allowing us to step into the highest versions of ourselves. By objectively and compassionately observing the physical, mental, and emotional patterns that fill our days and create our current selves, we can more clearly see what we do not wish to carry into the future.
As you work through this book and witness your default habits - from sleep to movement to eating, through emotional reactivity and core beliefs - you will never again have to ask, "But where do I start?" How to Meet Your Self is a revolutionary guide, a kind and encouraging companion and a comprehensive masterwork of self-understanding that will radically transform your inner work and outer world.

The Challenge
In this thrilling novel from the world’s favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel, a small community is tested when their children go missing while exploring a dangerous local peak, forcing them to band together during the crisis.
Fishtail, Montana, is home to Anne and Pitt Pollock, local royalty, high school sweethearts and owners of the successful Pollock ranch. The sprawling foothills of the Beartooth Mountains surround the town, overlooking the Pollocks’ property and the nearby ranch belonging to Bill and Pattie Brown. The two couples have known each other since childhood. Their sons Peter Pollock and Matt Brown are also the best of friends. When they and two other local kids meet Juliet Marshall, new to town after her parents’ bitter divorce, the five of them are soon inseparable, spending their summer days swimming, horseback-riding, hiking and fishing.
But one August afternoon, their latest adventure takes a dangerous turn – and quickly escalates into a battle for survival – when they find themselves trapped on Granite Peak. Fear reverberates through the town as their parents grow ever more desperate to hear word that their children have been found. They must place their own trials aside amid a massive search-and-rescue operation. As they come to lean on one another for support, a media frenzy ensues, heightening tensions and testing some already fragile relationships.
In the aftermath of this one fateful event, devastating secrets are revealed, new love appears on the horizon, and families are forced to reconsider what they once held dear.
The Greatest Invention
This book tells the story of our greatest invention. Or, it almost does. Almost, because while the story has a beginning – in fact, it has many beginnings, not only in Mesopotamia, 3,100 years before the birth of Christ, but also in China, Egypt and Central America – and it certainly has a middle, one that snakes through the painted petroglyphs of Easter Island, through the great machines of empires and across the desks of inspired, brilliant scholars, the end of the story remains to be written.
The invention of writing allowed humans to create a record of their lives and to persist past the limits of their lifetimes. In the shadows and swirls of ancient inscriptions, we can decipher the stories they sought to record, but we can also tease out the timeless truths of human nature, of our ceaseless drive to connect, create and be remembered.
The Greatest Invention chronicles an uncharted journey, one filled with past flashes of brilliance, present-day scientific research and the faint, fleeting echo of writing’s future. Professor Silvia Ferrara, a modern-day adventurer who travels the world studying ancient texts, takes us along with her; we touch the knotted, coloured strings of the Incan khipu and consider the case of the Phaistos disk. Ferrara takes us to the cutting edge of decipherment, where high-powered laser scanners bring tears to an engineer’s eye, and further still, to gaze at the outline of writing’s future. The Greatest Invention lifts the words off every page and changes the contours of the world around us – just keep reading.

Hotshot Doc - A menő doki
Dr. Russellnek nincs valami jó híre a kórházunkban.
A műtősök szerint érzéketlen, a nővérek szerint végtelenül öntelt, a rezidensek szerint meg (ha hallótávolságon belül van) a világ legjobb sebésze - és igazából egy lenyűgöző férfi.
Mindenáron próbálom őt és a bántó stílusát elkerülni. A szexi, úristen-de-beletúrnék haját és szoborszerű állkapcsát kellő távolságból csodálni. Ideális esetben a folyosó túloldaláról... félig egy növény mögé bújva.
A tervem sajnos meghiúsul, amikor az én drága főnököm úgy dönt, hogy a fehér köpenyét hawaii mintás ingre cseréli. A nyugdíjba vonulása miatt két rettenetes választási lehetőségem marad: vagy szakterületet váltok, és hónapok alatt átképzem magam, vagy elvállalom a megüresedett állást, és dr. Russell új műtéti asszisztense leszek.
Ez azt jelenti, hogy órákon át kell a műtőben egyhuzamban mellette állnom, és minden kívánságát lesni anélkül, hogy a metsző szavai és goromba viselkedése miatt rosszul érezném magam. Ó, és ha ez nem lenne éppen elég nehéz, a hülye vonzalmam - amit nagyon igyekszem elfojtani - talán viszonzásra talál...
Menni fog. Jól vagyok. Komolyan veszem a munkámat. Nem lesznek izzó pillantások a műtőasztal fölött, sem mérges majdnem csókok a raktárban. (Mármint ezután többé nem lesz.) Hogy is van a mondás? Napi egy alma az orvost távol tartja? Hát, nekem talán egy egész rekesz kellene belőle.
Tarts Bailey-vel, hódítsd meg ezt a nagymenő dokit!
The Ambassadors
Concerned that her son Chad may have become involved with a woman of dubious reputation, the formidable Mrs. Newsome sends her 'ambassador' Strether from Massachusetts to Paris to extricate him. Strether's mission, however, is gradually undermined as he falls under the spell of the city and finds Chad refined rather than corrupted by its influence and that of his charming companion, the comtesse de Vionnet. As the summer wears on, Mrs. Newsome comes to the conclusion that she must send another envoy to Paris to confront the errant Chad, and a Strether whose view of the world has changed profoundly. James' favourite novel and one of the greatest of his late works, "The Ambassadors" is a subtle and often witty exploration of different American responses to a European environment.

Black Beauty
Black Beauty is Anna Sewell's only novel, composed in the last years of her life between 1871 and 1877 while confined to her house as an invalid.The story is told in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by a horse named Black Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.

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.

Talán ?mindannyiunkkal előfordult, hogy váratlan vagy intenzív érzéseket kiváltó helyzetekben nem úgy reagáltunk, ahogyan azt más körülmények között gondolnánk magunkról. Különösen igaz ez akkor, ha az adott szituációban gyermekünk viselkedése váltja ki, hogy reakciónkban magunkra sem ismerünk, vagy egy már majdnem elfeledett énünk néz vissza ránk, talán a saját gyerekkorunkból, avagy egyenesen valamelyik szülőnket fedezzük fel magunkban, pedig hányszor megfogadtuk, hogy mi nem ilyen szülők leszünk. A jó hír, hogy ezen lehet változtatni.A kötet szerzői, dr. Daniel J. Siegel, orvos, a kötődéselmélet kutatója és dr. Mary Hartzell, a szülő-gyermek kapcsolatok szakértője segítenek megérteni, hogyan hat ki szülői magatartásunkra saját gyerekkorunk, valamint felhívják a figyelmet az ismétlődő viselkedési mintákra, és megmutatják, hogyan szabadulhatunk tőlük.
