Moriarty the Patriot, Vol. 14
The untold story of Sherlock Holmes’ greatest rival, Moriarty!
Before he was Sherlock’s rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class caste system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control—will Moriarty’s dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero…or a monster?
When the queen herself hires Sherlock Holmes to arrest the Lord of Crime, Sherlock sets out to save William instead. Unfortunately, William fully intends to complete his purification of the British Empire—at the cost of his own life. As the Moriarty Plan inches toward its inevitable conclusion and the Great Detective faces off against the Lord of Crime, both men will reveal the innermost depths of their hearts against a backdrop of London in flames.

Deep Blue
Take a deep breath
Steve Backshall was nine years old the first time he saw a shark, while on holiday with his family in Malaysia. It was the beginning of a life-long fascination with these 'lords of the sea', and the oceanic life around them. His career as one of the world's most popular naturalists and explorers has taken him to countless underwater places, many never before seen by others. And he's also been witness to the startling decline in fortune of our oceans' wild inhabitants over the past fifty years.
Deep Blue is a book a lifetime in the making: a remarkable blend of memoir, travel, and marine and environmental science that takes us on an unforgettable tour of the many worlds of aquatic life: from underwater deserts and rainforests to the evolution of ocean heroes like the sea turtle and the Great White, from the genesis of ocean life to the rapidly declining state of white polar seas and coral reefs. It's both a love letter to our precious oceans and rallying cry for what we must to do save them.

InnSaei
What does it mean? How do you say it? Why does it relate to me?
Simply put, InnSaei (pronounced 'in-sy-eh') is the Icelandic word for intuition. It means the sea within (the flow of our unconscious mind), to see within (how we introspect), and to see from the inside out (how we navigate the world). InnSaei exists within all of us.
We live in a world dominated by an overload of information, workplace burnout, big changes and the continuing effects of climate change. It's easy to feel lost, disconnected or without a purpose. If you relate to these feelings, then learning about InnSaei is the first step to reconnecting with yourself and the environment.
Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir explains how aligning with the sea within will help you to make more informed decisions and welcome creativity and wonder back into your life; learning to see within will improve your self-awareness, empathy and tolerance; and seeing from the inside out will empower you to make change around you and live a more fulfilled life.
With a mix of expert knowledge, practical exercises and some of the author's personal experiences, join Hrund as she takes us on a journey to harness our InnSaei so we may transform our lives and re-establish our place in the world.
All Systems Red

But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid?a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
The Black Box: Writing the Race
A foundational reckoning with how Black Americans have used the written word to define and redefine themselves, by one of the nation's major literary critics
Distilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates Jr's legendary Harvard course in African American Studies, The Black Box- Writing the Race is the story of Black self-definition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, these writers used words to create a liveable world - a "home" - for Black people destined to live in a bitterly racist society.
This is a community that defined and transformed itself in defiance of oppression and lies; a collective act of resistance and transcendence that is at the heart of its self-definition. Out of that contested ground has flowered a resilient, creative, powerful, diverse culture formed by people who have often disagreed markedly about what it means to be 'Black', and about how best to shape a usable past out of the materials at hand, to call into being a more just and equitable future.
This is the epic story of how, through essays and speeches, novels, plays and poems, a long line of creative thinkers has unveiled the contours of - and resisted confinement in - the black box that this "nation within a nation" has been assigned, from its founding to today. It is a book that records the compelling saga of the creation of a people.

From the 'hilariously zany and heartfelt' (Booklist) Christina Lauren comes a romantic comedy that proves if it's broke, you might as well fix it...

A menedzsment forradalma: A Google-modell
Stanfordból jöttek, mesterségük címere matematikus, informatikus. Sergey Brin és Larry Page persze Kaliforniában maradt, és céget alapított egy algoritmusra. Az algoritmust Larryról Page Ranknek nevezték el (és az internetes oldalak rangját jelenti), a céget pedig Google-nak, ami egy jó nagy szám neve, azé, amelyben az 1 után 100 nulla áll. Hogy nemcsak a nagymennyiségű adatban való keresést oldották meg hatékonyan, hogy innovatív megoldásaiknak még mi magyar egyszerű internetezők is folyamatos haszonélvezői vagyunk, az rendben van, de a pénzkeresés is nagyléptékben sikerült nekik. Ám erről inkább pletykák, mintsem korrekt elemzések szólnak. A Google vállalatvezetési gyakorlatát ez a könyv a világon elsőként tárja fel. Hatását mi sem bizonyítja jobban, mint hogy az amerikai kiadást az Amazon olvasói egyöntetűen csillagos ötösre értékelték. Összefoglalót kapunk azokról a szokatlan, forradalmian újnak tekinthető aspektusokról, ahogy a céget alapították, ahogy a gyors vállalatfejlődést kezelték és kezelik, ahogy a pénzügyi válságra reagáltak. Új típusú munkaszervezés, új munkaerő-toborzás, új marketingeszközök az alapjai az új technológiának, amelyben a közönség, az internetezők kritikája, a nyitottság és az önkontroll egyképp szerepet játszik. A 20. század vállalatvezetési mintáját a Ford T-modelljének futószalagon való gyártása forradalmasította. A 21. század életképes vállalatainak pedig nem árt alaposan szemügyre venni a Google-modellt. A szerző a könyv második kiadását jelentős mértékben aktualizálta, tekintettel arra, hogy a piac gyorsan változik, hogy olyan új szereplők jelentek meg, mint a Facebook, és hogy maga a Google is erőteljesen reagál minden újdonságra. A könyvet egy olyan fogalmi rendszer is gazdagítja, amely a Google ikonná vált 12 vállalatvezetési módszerén alapul, és amely minden típusú gazdasági társulatnál alkalmazható.
