Gin A Tasting Course
Become a gin expert and discover your own gin tasting experience.
A relatively loose definition of gin has allowed for a boom in specialist gin distilleries and an ever-broadening range of floral, citrus, herbal, spiced, fruity, and umami gins. Originally sought after for its host of medicinal properties, curing (almost) everything from the pestilence to malaria, gin has seen many peaks in its popularity. But the spirit's long history has at times been murky, its history firmly rooted in and tied to Empire, a slide into being known as "mother's ruin", and a large part to play in the rise of abstinence movements. It has not always been the carefree spirit we know today.
Join award-winning drinks writer Anthony Gladman as he explores the story of gin, from ancient uses to its present-day renaissance, offers insight into the unique distillation processes, teaches you to establish and develop your own palate and write your own tasting notes, before guiding you through over 100 of the most exciting gins from across the world. Featuring a classic cocktail section and how to make an icon - the G&T - as well as the spirit's impact on the climate and the ways the industry is changing as a result. This is an all-encompassing guide to the ongoing story of gin - its heritage and innovation - and a celebration of the multitude of complex flavours present in the spirit today.

Milyen lesz a búcsú után?
Clare és Aidan számára lassacskán véget érnek a középiskolás évek. Bizakodva és céltudatosan várják a jövőt. Ám a várakozásokkal teli időszakra rányomja bélyegét, hogy a szerelmesek útja, úgy tűnik, különválik. Vágyaik és elképzeléseik külön városba viszik őket. Egyetlen kérdés marad hátra: ki kell találniuk, hogy együtt maradjanak vagy szakítsanak. A 12 órás beszélgetés során felidézik kapcsolatuk minden egyes fontos pillanatát, jelentős eseményét, hátha találnak valamit a múltjukban, ami meghatározza a jövőjüket. Az este barátokhoz, a családhoz, régi emlékekhez és különleges helyekre vezeti őket, ahol kemény igazságokkal és meglepő felfedezésekkel néznek szembe. Ahogy az óra jár, és eléri őket a reggel, úgy közeleg elkerülhetetlen búcsújuk is. A kérdés csak az, hogy a búcsú csupán reggelre szól avagy örökre? Mennyit bír ki a szerelem? Bájos, édesen keserű, bölcsességgel és szeretettel teli, ellenállhatatlan regény. Hogyan döntsünk, ha a szívünk és az élet más-más irányt diktál?
Meddig szól a búcsú?
Holnapig vagy örökre?
„A történet hosszúra nyújtja a szív
fájdalmát. De ez egy csodás fájdalom.
A legjobb fajta. Olyan fájdalom, ami
a legigazibbnak tűnő szereplőktől
jön, így az egész olyan hiteles lesz,
hogy téged is magával ragadnak az
érzelmek.”
Jennifer Niven
„A történet friss és élénk. Irodalmi
műfaja lebilincselő, a karaktereket
közelről megfigyelhetjük, Clare és
Aidan meghittséggel, intimitással,
intenzíven és hűen mutatkoznak
be. Minden olvasó elégedett lehet.
Újabb szellemes és kedves könyv
Smith életművében.”
Kirkus Reviews
„Azoknak, akik csak most lesznek
főiskolások, azoknak, akiknek már
van tapasztalata, és mindenkinek,
aki rajong a romantikus realisztikus
fikció iránt. Ez egy igazán élvezetes,
érzelmes és értelmes történet.”
School Library Journal
„Jennifer E. Smith egyetlen epikus
este alatt bemutatja az első szerelem
fájdalmas tökéletességének minden
részletét. Nem akartam, hogy véget
érjen az éjszaka... és ez a könyv.”
Star Wars Skywalker: A Family At War
Uncover the secrets of the Skywalkers: the family that shaped a galaxy far, far away ...
The Skywalker story has everything: passion, intrigue, heroism, and dark deeds.

India After Gandhi, 3rd edition
An updated edition of Ramachandra Guha's India After Gandhi with new material that explains the major events, policy shifts and controversies of the past decade, placing them in their proper sociological and historical context and setting out the author's justifiable concerns for the decline of democracy in India.
Born against a background of privation and civil war, divided along lines of caste, class, language and religion, independent India emerged, somehow, as a united and democratic country. Ramachandra Guha’s hugely acclaimed book tells the full story – the pain and the struggle, the humiliations and the glories – of the world’s largest and least likely democracy.
While India is sometimes the most exasperating country in the world, it is also the most interesting. Ramachandra Guha writes compellingly of the myriad protests and conflicts that have peppered the history of free India. Moving between history and biography, the story of modern India is peopled with extraordinary characters. Guha gives fresh insights into the lives and public careers of those long-serving Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. But the book also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known (though not necessarily less important) Indians – peasants, tribals, women, workers and musicians.
Massively researched and elegantly written, India After Gandhi is a remarkable account of India’s rebirth, and a work already hailed as a masterpiece of single-volume history. This third edition brings the story fully up to date.
Lacná kniha The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X (-90%)
A landmark biography of one of the twentieth century's most compelling figures, rewriting much of the known narrative.
Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, embarked in 1990 on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X - including siblings, classmates, friends, cellmates, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. His goal was ambitious: to transform what would become hundreds of hours of interviews into a portrait that would separate fact from fiction.
The result is this magisterial work that conjures a never-before-seen world of its protagonist, whose title is inspired by a phrase Malcolm X used when he saw his followers stir with purpose to overcome the obstacles of racism. Setting his life not only within the political struggles of his day but also against the larger backdrop of American history, this remarkable masterpiece traces his path from street criminal to devoted moralist and revolutionary.
An author who saw Malcolm X speak and could not stand the phrase 'we may never know', Payne writes cinematically from start to finish and delivers extraordinary revelations - from a hair-raising scene of Malcolm's clandestine meeting with the KKK, to a minute-by-minute account of his murder in Harlem in 1965, in which he makes the case for the complicity of the American government.
Introduced by Payne's daughter and primary researcher, Tamara Payne, who, following her father's death, heroically completed the biography, The Dead Are Arising is a penetrating and riveting work that affirms the centrality of Malcolm X to the African American freedom struggle and the story of the twentieth century.

The Dragon in the West
An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history
How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the
origin of this creature?
The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakon of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of
dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.

A nyaraló
"Nem számít, milyen régóta ismersz valakit. Az emberek változnak. Vagy nem is ismerted őket olyan jól, mint hitted."
NÉHA, MIKOR AZ EMBERNEK VÁLTOZTATNIA KELL AZ ÉLETÉN, AZ ÁR VALAHOGY MINDIG JÓ IRÁNYBA SODORJA...
A regény öt olyan emberről szól, akik mindent megkérdőjeleznek, amit az életről gondolnak. Mindnyájuknak komoly döntéseket kell hozniuk, s itt az idő amikor elkerülhettlen, hogy megváltoztassák az életüket. Közös utazásuk során kiderülnek a titkaik, ők pedig a megbocsátás útjára lépnek.
Ellis magányos és a munka megszállottja, Julia gyönyörű modell, de nem tudja értékelni az életét és az őt imádó férfit, Dorie-t pedig épp most árulta el a férfi, akivel szerette volna leélni az életét. A három nő még az általános iskolában barátkozott össze, és most, a harmincas éveik közepén mindnyájukat válaszút elé állítja az élet. Egy teljes hónapon keresztül csak kikapcsolódni szeretnének az óceán parti nyaralóhelyen, Out Banksen. Kibérelnek egy régi házat és megkezdődik életük újabb, izgalmas szakasza.
A nyaraló tulajdonosa, a jóképű Ty Bazemore - akit egy hajszál választ el attól, hogy elveszítse az öreg tengerparti házát -, és az egyik nő között mély vonzalom alakul ki. A negyedik nő, Maryn Shackleford csak pár dolgot szeretne az élettől: egy jó rejtekhelyet, új személyazonosságot, és hogy ne tegyenek fel neki kérdéseket. Ellis, Julia és Dorie megadhatja neki azt, amit kér, de vajon azt is, amire szüksége van?
A Library Journal 2011-ben A nyaralót a legjobb női regények közé sorolta.
"A nyaraló igazi gyönyörűség. A szereplők életteli játéka összetett, őszinte és erős, a régi barátnők közötti kapcsolat pedig megható."
- Times Record News
"A nyári szerelem a telet is átvészelő elköteleződéssé növekedhet..."
- Publishers Weekly
"A nyaraló olyan, mint egy csodás nap a tengernél. Az ember nem akarja, hogy véget érjen."
- Booklist
"A nyaraló derűs, lendületes cselekménye az érzéki románc és szeretteljes barátság tökéletes keverékét kínálja."
- Chicago Tribune
Gilded
All magic comes at a price, but love was never part of the bargain . . .
The look he was giving her. Serilda had never been looked at like that before . . . The intensity.
The heat. The raw astonishment. He was going to kiss her.
Cursed by the god of lies, a miller's daughter has developed a talent for storytelling - but are all of her tales as false as they appear?
When one of Serilda's stories draws the attention of the devastating Erlking, she finds herself swept away into a world of enchantment, where ghouls prowl the earth, and ravens track her every move. The king locks Serilda in a castle dungeon and orders her to spin straw into gold, or be killed for lying. In despair, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious young man to her aid. And he agrees to help her, for a price. But love wasn't meant to be part of the bargain.
A compulsive read, and as bewitchingly good as you'd expect from a YA bestselling author. You will stay up all night reading this.
'Gilded glitters as brightly as the stories and gold that Serilda and Gild spin' Kate Corr (The Corr Sisters), authors of The Witch's Kiss trilogy and A Throne of Swans duology

Minecraft: The Dragon
Take flight with the ender dragon in this official Minecraft novel! When a desert town is threatened by illager raids, a young adventurer turns to a newborn dragon to save her home.
Zetta is the best potion-maker in the village of Sienna Dunes. Okay, maybe she's the only potion-maker in the village of Sienna Dunes. And maybe her potions don't exactly work like they're supposed to all the time. But when her village is menaced by a pack of illagers, only Zetta can see that the traditional ways won't keep Sienna Dunes safe anymore.
Zetta journeys to her eccentric aunt's workshop outside town to search for an answer and finds a lot more than she bargained for. A mysterious egg hatches into a scaly creature with purple eyes, black wings, and poisonous breath. It can't possibly be the mythical ender dragon . . . can it? And if it is, can Zetta raise it to be the savior her village needs?
The threat of the illagers is growing fast, and Zetta's accidental dragon is growing even faster. With the help of her two best friends and her daydreaming little cousin, Zetta must train the scariest (and scaliest) baby in the Overworld. But when the dragon is fully grown, will it save Sienna Dunes? Or will it spell the village's end?
The New Nomads
We have lost the plot when it comes to migration. In our collective consciousness, the term 'migration' conjures up images of hordes of refugees fleeing 'their' country, escaping on rafts and coming to invade 'ours'. When we think of migration, we think of (largely unwanted) immigration and its ills.
We've got it all wrong.
Far from being abnormal, the act of going in search of a better life is at the core of the human experience. And now a new kind of nomad is emerging. What used to be a movement largely from east to west, south to north, developing to developed country is becoming more of a multilateral phenomenon with each passing day. Young people from everywhere are moving everywhere. Or rather, they are moving to where they expect to improve their lives and are turning the world into a beauty contest of cities and regions and companies vying to attract them. They are doing so because movement has become a key to their emancipation. After centuries of becoming sedentary, the future of humanity and the key to its enlightenment in the 21st century lies in re-embracing nomadism. Migration fosters the qualities that will allow our children to flourish and succeed. Our times require more migration, not less.
Part memoir, part generational manifesto, The New Nomad is both the chronicle of this revolution and a call to embrace it.
