The History of My Sexuality
Meet Sofie. The history of her sexuality begins when she loses her virginity to Walter the recruitment consultant. So, naturally, she thought that things could only improve from there. But she was wrong.
It seems Sofie's been wrong about a lot of things. First, she thought she was into men: wrong. Then she met Frida and thought she was set for life: wrong again. Turns out, facing up to everything she thought she knew about herself requires a lot of trial and error. Will Sofie ever be able to untangle the impossible knot of sex, love, loneliness, family relationships and grief that constitutes a life? Does it even matter?
The History of My Sexuality is a frank, funny, exuberant journey through the highs and lows of your 20s, and making peace with getting it wrong again and again...
None of This is True
Celebrating her 45th birthday at her local pub, podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie is also celebrating her 45th birthday. They are, in fact birthday twins.

Alix agrees to a trial interview. Josie's life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can't quite resist the temptation to keep digging.

Soon she begins to wonder who is Josie Fair? And what has she done?

The Eastern Front
The definitive history of the Eastern Front in the First World War, from the acclaimed military historian and author of Passchendaele and The Western Front.
In the second volume of his landmark First World War trilogy, Professor Nick Lloyd tells the story for the first time of what Winston Churchill once called the 'unknown war': the vast conflict in Eastern Europe and the Balkans that brought about the collapse of three empires.
Much has been written about the fighting in France and Belgium, yet the Eastern Front was no less bloody. Between 1914 and 1917, huge numbers of people - perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million civilians - were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length.
Through intimate eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs - many of which have never been translated into English before - Lloyd reconstructs the full story of a war that began in the Balkans as a local struggle between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and which sucked in Russia, Germany and Italy, right through to the final collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918.
The Eastern Front paints a vivid and authoritative picture of a conflict that shook the world, and that remains central to understanding the tragic, blood-soaked trajectory of the entire twentieth century, including the current war in Ukraine.
Dawn of a Dark Age
The first book in a new epic fantasy trilogy by British author Jane Welch.
Prince Rollo’s world is shattered by the death of his mother, Queen Ursula. But even before he can grieve he faces the bitter disappointment of being overlooked as his mother’s heir in favour of his younger sister; as only the female line in Artor’s Royal family inherit the magical power to control the Great Bears of Artor (a talent every sovereign must possess). Seething with self loathing, grief and disappointment Rollo focuses his anger and resentment upon his father.
Deeply concerned for his son Spar decides to leave his daughter, now Artor’s Queen, and take 13 year old Rollo half way across the world to Torra Alta, his barony in Belbidia, to claim the only birthright left to him.
But fifteen years have passed since Spar left Hal and Brid as guardians of his remote fortress and in the intervening years, many things have changed. Beasts of legend have grown in strength and will. A huge golden dragon plagues the mountains and swarms of Hobs ransack the fertile plains of Belbidia.
Fourteen years ago the Chalice of Önd, was lost. A sacred artefact with the power to transfer the magic of one object to another the chalice is the only explanation for the rising threat. If this powerful weapon has fallen into the wrong hands the dawn of a dark age will come to Belbidia.
A Memoir of My Former Self : A Life in Writing
As well as her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of her writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. 'Ink is a generative fluid,' she explains. 'If you don't mean your words to breed consequences, don't write at all.' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades.
Mantel's subjects are wide-ranging. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life flopping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels - revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England - and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is a selection of her film reviews - from When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop - and, published for the first time, her stunning Reith Lectures, which explore the process of art bringing history and the dead back to life.
From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel's life in her own dazzling words, 'messages from people I used to be.' Compelling, often very funny, always luminous, it is essential reading from one of our greatest writers.
The Geek Way
The bestselling, influential author of The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee explains how engineers and geeks are changing the world of business - with extraordinary results. We're living in a time of amazing innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important of all: the innovation to the company itself. A new model is being pioneered by geeks; a radical new mindset that has shifted the paradigm entirely on what a business can - and should - be.
They do not follow the rules of the Industrial era, with their hierarchies and bureaucratic ways of thinking. They do not follow the principles preached in business schools since the dawn of time. They have all dedicated themselves to approaching business as a geek would: through trial and error, egalitarianism, evidence and stress-testing ideas in a group setting - rather than relying on the boss's instincts.
By investigating and surveying the contemporary research in psychology, economics and the behavioural sciences, as well as first-hand accounts from the 'geek' leaders of today, McAfee's groundbreaking exploration of this emerging phenomenon gets to the heart of the tectonic shifts taking place all over the business world. We have entered a new age. And this age will transform how we achieve great things, now and into the future.
The future is geek.
Helyünk és sorsunk Európában
"Azt akarom itt éreztetni és megértetni mindenekfölött, hogy a magyar célokon egyszerûen nem lehet változtatni. Ezért minden magyar korszak és nemzedék annyit ér, amennyire hû marad az árpádi és Szent István-i örökséghez." A mû végsõ soron három történetpolitikai tanulmány: Az eltévedt lovas maga a magyar nemzet, amely letévedt az õsi útról, az Európa ellenünk és önmaga ellen címû rész Trianon szörnyû igazságtalanságát jelöli meg az új világomlás közeledõ okaként, míg a harmadik, a Dunai kibontakozás elé az ésszerû, tartós, eszmei, elvi alapokat vázolja föl a magyar jövõ számára."

A második feleség
"A tó bal partján kis halászfalu terült el, száz meg százéves hársak árnyékában szétszórtan álló nyolc alacsony ház, szalmafedeleik éppen csak a fák alsó ágain emelkedtek fölül. Falaikon a vetõ- és merítõhálókkal, ajtóik mellett, a keskeny kis falócákkal, déli oldalukon galagonya- és csipkerózsabokorral környezve csinosan váltak ki a part fehér szélébõl. Ha a német fejedelem tudta volna, hogy az ártatlan Kis-Trianon ötlete végül Franciaország tündöklõ királynéjának fejében megfogan, akkor e kis halászfalu bizonyára sohasem épült volna fel. De a fejedelem nem volt jós, ezért mûve már csaknem száz éve állt a park tava mellett, kívülrõl a legkezdetlegesebb idillt képezve, ám bensejében a legkényesebb emberfiát is kielégítve. A belépõk talpa, amelyre még a part murvája tapadt, közvetlenül a dagadozó szõnyegekhez ért. Nehéz selyemszövetek csillogtak a párnás bútorokon és fedték el a falakat, itt-ott eltûnve a széles tükörlapok mögött. Ha kinn kacérkodtak is a szegénységgel és egyszerûséggel, a fehérre sikált asztalokon mégsem lehetett étkezniük, még kevésbé pedig az édes játék után falócákon megpihenniök. A fejedelmi ház ? amely sarjai egyikének köszönhette létét a kis halászfalu ? õsidõktõl fogva szilárdan ragaszkodott ama szokáshoz, hogy mindegyik trónörökös életének nyolcadik évében egy-egy hársfát ültessen. A tó bal partján levõ, majálisrétnek nevezett kaszáló így történelmi nevezetesség lett. Csak ritkán pusztult el a fejedelmivé tett fák valamelyike, a majálisrét valóságos díszpéldányokkal rendelkezett. Szürke páncélos õsi daliák gyanánt az ég felé törve tartották maguk fölé hatalmas zöld pajzsukat, s megvédték az utánuk jöttékét és gyöngélkedõket. A mai májusi napon Frigyes trónörökös számára következett el a faültetés fontos eseménye..."
