Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek
Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek is a touchingly honest, candidly hysterical memoir from breakout teen author Maya Van Wagenen. 'School is the armpit of life . . . and my school is no exception' Stuck at the bottom of the social ladder at 'pretty much the lowest level of people at school who aren't paid to be here,' Maya Van Wagenen decided to begin a unique social experiment: spend the school year following a 1950s popularity guide, written by former teen model Betty Cornell. Can curlers, girdles, Vaseline, and a strand of pearls help Maya on her quest to be popular? The real-life results are painful, funny, and include a wonderful and unexpected surprise-meeting and befriending Betty Cornell herself. Told with humour and grace, Maya's journey offers readers of all ages a thoroughly contemporary example of kindness and self-confidence. 'The real deal. . . A teenage John Green for the next generation. Stunning.' Margaret Stohl, bestselling co-author of the bestselling Beautiful Creatures series. 'Honest, funny, and thought-provoking.' Gretchen Rubin, #1 bestselling author of The Happiness Project. 'Her year-long experiment in popularity is timeless; the intelligent and humane way she gets to the heart of the matter is uniquely her. Funny, determined, and wry, Van Wagenan has written a wise, heartfelt guide for other kids eager to keep up.' Rachel Hartman, NYT bestselling author of Seraphina

But in her heart, is it so terrible to want everything to stay the same forever?

How Was It For You?
'One of the great social historians of our time. No one else makes history this fun' Amanda Foreman
'How Was It For You? subtly but powerfully subverts complacent male assumptions about a legendary decade' David Kynaston
--------------------------------
"A feeling that we could do whatever we liked swept through us in the 60s . . ."
The sixties: a decade of space travel, utopian dreams and - above all - sexual revolution. It liberated a generation. But mostly men.
Meet dollybird Mavis, debutante Kristina, bunny girl Patsy, industrial campaigner Mary and countercultural Caroline. From Carnaby Street to Merseyside, white gloves to Black is Beautiful, their stories illustrate a turbulent power struggle, throwing an unsparing spotlight on morals, drugs, race, bomb culture and sex.
This is a moving, shocking book about tearing up the world and starting again. It's about peace, love and psychedelia, but also misogyny, violation and discrimination, in a decade discovering a new cause: equality.
And women would never be the same again.
--------------------------------
'Sparkling . . . there is a wonderfully diverse range of voices . . . we have a long way to go, but reading this book made me grateful for how far we have come' Daisy Goodwin, The Sunday Times

We Keep the Dead Close
You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget.
1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious 23-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment.
Forty years later, Becky Cooper, a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumour proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims.
WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.

Know My Name

'Incredibly moving and haunting' Roxane Gay
'I read this book cover to cover and it stunned me' Jia Tolentino
'Powerful, honest and necessary' Marian Keyes
'To girls everywhere, I am with you. On nights when you feel alone, I am with you. When people doubt you or dismiss you, I am with you. I fought every day for you. So never stop fighting, I believe you.'
Chanel Miller's story changed our world forever. In 2016 Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail after he was caught sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. His light sentencing, and Chanel's victim impact statement, which was read by eleven million people in four days, sparked international outrage and action.
Know My Name is an intimate, profoundly moving memoir that exposes a patriarchal culture biased to protect perpetrators, a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and ultimately shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life. Entwining pain, resilience, and humour, this breath-taking memoir will stand as a modern classic.
'I could not put this phenomenal book down' Glennon Doyle, bestselling author of UNTAMED

Twain Shania - Now 2LP
Kanadská zpěvačka Shania Twain patřila na konci dvacátého a začátku jednadvacátého století ke komerčně nejúspěšnějším zpěvačkám. Její alba se prodávala po miliónech, její singly obsazovaly první příčky světových hitparád a její koncertní turné platila za ta nejrychleji vyprodaná. Dlouhých patnáct let si fanoušci museli počkat na nové album. To se na trhu objeví koncem září a bude se jmenovat „Now“.
Díky úspěchu alb „Come On Over“ z roku 1997 a „Up!“, které vyšlo v roce 2002, se Shania Twain stala jednou z nejpopulárnějších zpěvaček všech dob. Doposud prodala více než 85 milionů hudebních nosičů a již téměř dvě dekády si drží pozici nejprodávanější zpěvačky country. Právě její geniální propojení tohoto hudebního stylu s popem a mainstreamem bylo v tehdejší době posluchači přijato s nadšením, a tak každý song, který zpěvačka představila, se okamžitě stal hitem. Singly „You're Still The One”, „That Don't Impress Me Much”, „Man! I Feel Like A Woman” nebo „Ka-Ching!” ještě stále můžeme slýchat v rádiích v relativně vysokých rotacích, a tak je logické, že je její návrat na hudební scénu očekáván s velkým napětím.
Shania Twain před pár dny potvrdila svůj comeback nádherným singlem „Life's About to Get Good”, který si opět i sama napsala. Píseň produkoval americký zpěvák, skladatel a DJ Matthew Koma, který stál například i za vznikem hitu „Clarity“, za který DJ a producent Zedd získal před pár lety prestižní cenu Grammy. Chytlavý song „Life's About to Get Good” je předzvěstí nového studiového alba s názvem „Now“, které se v obchodech objeví již 29. září a kromě digitální verze budou mít fanoušci na výběr ze třech fyzických nosičů. Standartní verze CD přinese dvanáct písní, deluxe o čtyři songy víc a samozřejmě nemůže chybět ani vinyl…

Serving aboard a Turkish corsair ship, their vessel is sunk at sea and they find themselves condemned to the oar as galley slaves for France.

In Search Of Schrodinger`S Ca
Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear weapons, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat tells the complete story of quantum mechanics, a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin takes us step by step into an ever more bizarre and fascinating place, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the scientists who developed quantum theory. He investigates the atom, radiation, time travel, the birth of the universe, superconductors and life itself. And in a world full of its own delights, mysteries and surprises, he searches for Schrodinger's Cat - a search for quantum reality - as he brings every reader to a clear understanding of the most important area of scientific study today - quantum physics. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat is a fascinating and delightful introduction to the strange world of the quantum - an essential element in understanding today's world.
