Battle for Syria
An unprecedented analysis of the crucial but underexplored roles the United States and other nations have played in shaping Syria's ongoing civil war
Most accounts of Syria's brutal, long-lasting civil war focus on a domestic contest that began in 2011 and only later drew foreign nations into the escalating violence. Christopher Phillips argues instead that the international dimension was never secondary but that Syria's war was, from the very start, profoundly influenced by regional factors, particularly the vacuum created by a perceived decline of U.S. power in the Middle East. This precipitated a new regional order in which six external protagonists-the United States, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar-have violently competed for influence, with Syria a key battleground.
Drawing on a plethora of original interviews, Phillips constructs a new narrative of Syria's war. Without absolving the brutal Bashar al-Assad regime, the author untangles the key external factors which explain the acceleration and endurance of the conflict, including the West's strategy against ISIS. He concludes with some insights on Syria and the region's future.

Lacná kniha A dodó rejtélye (-90%)
A tizenkét éves James Moriarty briliáns elme, ám rendszeresen bajba kerül, mert szenvedélyesen vonzódik a rejtélyekhez, és sosem tétovázik, ha borsot lehet törni nővére, Arabella orra alá. Amikor bácsikája, Theodosius világ körüli útjáról a szokásos apró ajándékok mellett egy kivételes meglepetéssel, egy dodóval tér vissza Angliába, a Moriarty-házban minden a feje tetejére áll. A rég kihaltnak hitt faj utolsó képviselőjét Theodosius bácsi ünnepélyes keretek között szeretné bemutatni a vendégeknek, csakhogy a madárnak addigra nyoma vész. Az összegyűltek közül mindenki gyanúsított, mindenkinek volt indítéka és lehetősége a rablásra. A rejtélyes ügy megoldásával James nemcsak a tettest leplezheti le, hanem azt is bebizonyíthatja, hogy okosabb a nővérénél.

Greenmantle
InGreenmantle(1916), a classic tale of espionage and adventure, Richard Hannay, hero ofThe Thirty-Nine Steps, travels across war-torn Europe on the trail of a German plot and an Islamic Messiah. He is joined by three more of Buchan's heroes: Peter Pienaar, the old Boer scout; John S. Blenkiron, the American determined to fight the Kaiser; and Sandy Arbuthnot--Greenmantle himself--a character modelled on Lawrence of Arabia. Together they move in disguise through Germany to Constantinople and the Russian border in order to face their enemies: the grotesque Stumm and the evil femme fatale Hilda von Einem.
Hullámok csapdája
Arabella a fiatal, életvidám, New York-i zongorista lány, nem találja helyét a nagyvilágban. Úgy érzi, menekülnie kell a mindennapi kudarcok, és legfőképpen az őt érzelmileg kihasználó pasija elől.
Változást akar életében, ezért jelentkezik "A nagy kaland" című valóságshowba; azt remélve, hogy a műsor távol tartja tőle a férfit, aki annyi csalódást okozott már neki. Nem is sejti, hogy a lelkében háborgó hullámok csak még inkább felkorbácsolódnak; harcba kerül önmagával és egy új szerelem is megérinti.
A játék egy Genovából induló luxushajón zajlik. A műsor szerkesztői a végletekig hajszolják a szereplőket. A kezdeti barátságos légkör hamar átcsap gátlástalan vetélkedésbe. A törés Arabella számára is elkerülhetetlen: hamar összemosódik játék és valóság.
A feszültséget fokozza, hogy egy zsarolási ügy miatt az irányítás kicsúszik a stáb kezei közül. A nézők mindebből természetesen semmit sem láthatnak; a shownak folytatódnia kell!
Borbás Edina valóságshowba ágyazott kalandos szerelmi története az olvasót New Yorkból Genovába repíti.

Tapsikáné fülönfüggője
Ki hinné, hogy egy magányos, remegő szívű nyuszianyónak kincset érő fülönfüggője van, aminek az árából gondtalanná tehetné öreg napjait, és nem kellene többé a Hanyatthomlok utcán közlekednie? És ki hinné, hogy egy rátarti, harapós borzgyereknek, aki mindig egyedül játszik, akadhatnak jó pajtásai, ha ő is úgy akarja? Igaz, hogy azután saját hibájukból bajba jutnak, de végül a veszekedős borz, a buta kis pele meg a maszatos vadmalac mégis képesek lesznek valami nagyszerű dolgot cselekedni. Aki nem hiszi, kövesse nyomon Tapsikáné fülönfüggőjének kalandos útját.
Iris Grace
'Ever since we came home with Thula, this precious magical kitten has cast a spell over Iris. They sit beside each other as Iris paints, and new doorways to communication have been opened, doors we had previously feared might be locked forever.' Iris Grace is six years old and severely autistic. For the first few years of her life she barely communicated at all - she hardly ever looked up when her parents walked into a room, she rarely smiled or spoke. Her mother Arabella despaired - Iris seemed to be trapped in her own world, unreachable. Then one day the family decided to get a cat, Thula, with whom Iris had an immediate affinity. She appeared to open up and communicate with Thula in a way that she hadn't done before. The little girl who seemed to be lost in her own world slowly blossomed. Iris is an extraordinarily gifted artist who sees the world in a profoundly vivid and visceral way, and with Thula by her side, she will sit and paint for hours. This book isn't the story of a genius or child prodigy (although Iris is almost certainly both of those things), this is the story of how a remarkable bond between a cat and a child saved a family. Beautifully written, readers will be spellbound by the story of Iris Grace and her devoted pet cat Thula.

Islamic Civilization in Thirty Lives
The religious thinkers, political leaders, law-makers, writers and philosophers of the early Muslim world helped to shape the 1,400-year-long development of today's secondlargest world religion. But who were these people? What do we know of their lives, and the ways in which they influenced their societies?
Chase F. Robinson draws on the long tradition in Muslim scholarship of commemorating in writing the biographies of notable figures, but weaves these ambitious lives together to create a rich narrative of early Islamic civilization, from the Prophet Muhammad to fearsome Tamerlane. Beginning in Islam's heartland, Mecca, we move across Arabia to follow Islam's journey across North Africa, as far as Spain in the West, and eastwards through Central and East Asia; we see the rise and fall of Islamic states through the political and military leaders working to secure peace or expand their power, and, within this political climate, the development of Islamic law, scientific thought and literature through the words of the scholars who devoted themselves to these pursuits. Alongside the famous characters who coloured this landscape, including Muhammad's controversial cousin, 'Ali; the first Sultan of Egypt, Saladin; and the poet Rumi, the reader will also meet less wellknown figures, such as Shajar al-Durr, slave-turned-Sultana of Egypt, and Ibn Fadlan, whose travels in Eurasia brought first-hand accounts of the Volka Vikings to the Abbasid Caliph.

The Boundless Sea
A SUNDAY TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES, THE TIMES AND BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR
From the award-winning author of The Great Sea, a magnificent new global history of the oceans and of humankind's relationship with the sea
For most of human history, the seas and oceans have been the main means of long-distance trade and communication between peoples - for the spread of ideas and religion as well as commerce. This book traces the history of human movement and interaction around and across the world's greatest bodies of water, charting our relationship with the oceans from the time of the first voyagers. David Abulafia begins with the earliest of seafaring societies - the Polynesians of the Pacific, the possessors of intuitive navigational skills long before the invention of the compass, who by the first century were trading between their far-flung islands. By the seventh century, trading routes stretched from the coasts of Arabia and Africa to southern China and Japan, bringing together the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific and linking half the world through the international spice trade. In the Atlantic, centuries before the little kingdom of Portugal carved out its powerful, seaborne empire, many peoples sought new lands across the sea - the Bretons, the Frisians and, most notably, the Vikings, now known to be the first Europeans to reach North America. As Portuguese supremacy dwindled in the late sixteenth century, the Spanish, the Dutch and then the British each successively ruled the waves.
Following merchants, explorers, pirates, cartographers and travellers in their quests for spices, gold, ivory, slaves, lands for settlement and knowledge of what lay beyond, Abulafia has created an extraordinary narrative of humanity and the oceans. From the earliest forays of peoples in hand-hewn canoes through uncharted waters to the routes now taken daily by supertankers in their thousands, The Boundless Sea shows how maritime networks came to form a continuum of interaction and interconnection across the globe: 90 per cent of global trade is still conducted by sea. This is history of the grandest scale and scope, and from a bracingly different perspective - not, as in most global histories, from the land, but from the boundless seas.

The New Arab Wars
Marc Lynch's last book, The Arab Uprising, described the then ongoing revolutionary change and prospect for the consolidation of democracy in key Arab countries that still seemed possible. But Lynch saw dark signs on the horizon, especially in Syria. That book ended with the hope that the Arab uprisings heralded a fundamental change over the long-term, but with the warning that Arab regimes would not easily give up their power. Instead, Egypt's revolution has given way to a military coup; Libya's produced a failed state; Yemen is the battleground for a proxy war and will be destroyed; Syria has become a sprawling humanitarian catastrophe that will take a generation to begin to recover from.At the same time, America has less and less reason to want to engage with the region and now has only one functional ally apart from Israel. The New Arab Wars describes how the political landscape of an entire region has been convulsed, with much of it given over to anarchy, as proxy wars on behalf of three competing powers - Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia - scar the region. It is a brutal, compelling story.
