Bewitching the Earl
Daphne Westfall is a lady desperate for a future, one that doesn’t involve her dark past. On a cold night she receives aid from a mysterious stranger, one who tells her she can change her destiny, as long as she agrees to marry the man who wins her. The brooding Scottish lord that offers her his name and home is handsome but there’s something sorrowful in his eyes that feels all too personal to her…
Lachlan Grant never wanted to be an earl, but fate has been less than kind to him. At the insistence of a friend, he seeks out a bride and comes face to face with a woman who bewitches him instantly. But they each hold secrets that will haunt them both. With a love blooming delicately between them, will their new found happiness together wilt and fade beneath the frost of the past?

The Shed That Fed 2 Million Children
In 1992, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow was enjoying a pint with his brother when he got an idea that would change his life – and radically change the lives of others.
After watching a news bulletin about war-torn Bosnia, the two brothers agreed to take a week’s hiatus from work to help.
What neither of them expected is that what began as a one-time road trip in a beaten-up Landrover rapidly grew to become Magnus’s life’s work – leading him to leave his job, sell his house and direct all his efforts to feeding thousands of the world’s poorest children.
Magnus retells how a series of miraculous circumstances and an overwhelming display of love from those around him led to the creation of Mary’s Meals; an organisation that could hold the key to eradicating child hunger altogether. This humble, heart-warming yet powerful story has never been more relevant in our society of plenty and privilege. It will open your eyes to the extraordinary impact that one person can make.

Tool - Fear Inoculum (Expanded Book Edition) CD
Tool je americká rocková skupina z Los Angeles. Skupinu, ktorá vznikla v roku 1990, tvoria spevák Maynard James Keenan, gitarista Adam Jones, bubeník Danny Carey a basgitarista Justin Chancellor, z ktorých posledný v roku 1995 nahradil zakladajúceho člena Paula D'Amoura. Tool získal štyri ceny Grammy. Vďaka začleneniu vizuálneho umenia do Tool a veľmi dlhým a komplexným vydaniam bola skupina opísaná ako štýl presahujúci počin a súčasť progresívneho rocku, psychedelického rocku a art rocku.
"Fear Inoculum" je piaty štúdiový album, ktorý vyšiel 30. augusta 2019 prostredníctvom Tool Dissectional, Volcano Entertainment a RCA Records. Je to prvý album skupiny po 13 rokoch, kvôli kreatívnym, osobným a právnym problémom, s ktorými sa členovia kapely stretli od vydania 10 000 Days. Album bol vydaný s ohlasom kritikov, pričom recenzenti sa vo všeobecnosti zhodli, že skupina úspešne vylepšila svoj zabehnutý zvuk. Album sa umiestnil na vrchole amerického rebríčka Billboard 200 albumov, čo je ich tretí album v rade, pričom sa predalo viac ako 270 000 kusov albumových ekvivalentov. Album sa v úvodnom týždni dostal na prvé miesto v piatich ďalších národných rebríčkoch albumov. Dve piesne z albumu boli nominované na Grammy, prvý singel „Fear Inoculum“ na cenu Grammy za najlepšiu rockovú pieseň a bližšia album „7empest“ na cenu Grammy za najlepší metalový výkon, pričom cenu vyhrala druhá.

The Reef
Set in and around London, "The Reef" is a story of complex morality and its intricately woven place in society. This narrative primarily follows George Darrow and Anna Leath, a young gentleman and a widowed lady who plan to marry. Both of them experience doubts about their union, with surprising outcomes. Darrow has a brief liaison with the delicate, generous Sophy Viner, a kind woman of the working class. She later meets Anna's stepson Owen Leath, who wishes to upset social conventions and marry her. When Anna's discovers the intimate history of Darrow and Sophy, she worries about her stepson's affections and feels concerned about the alliance she herself is about to create. Wharton's talent for balancing emotional turmoil and all the social manners of her time is blended into this philosophical work that explores the metaphorical reefs in the hearts of women.

Glory Lane and the Humid Holiday
A Strange Case in a Strange Place
A chance to recapture past glory days gone awry.A cybercrime expert forced to endure warm, sunny weather in December.A South Florida holiday with two stressed-out techies ending up in the wrong place at the right time.Will Dana manage to crack the case before it goes from missing person to murder?
A Dana Sanderson Short Mystery
An excerpt from Glory Lane and the Humid Holiday
Dana had always been more comfortable with codes and computers than people."We got a missing persons report on Rich Walters a couple of days ago," Michelle said. "Only had a plane ticket to go on. We've had the word out, but he disappeared after he flew into Miami. Not a trace until right here, last night."Michelle held up one of those evidence bags with a scuffed brown leather wallet inside, with a loose driver's license pressed against the plastic.Dana glanced the alley where a few uniforms still lingered, heads down. "He's not… Is he over there?"Michelle looked over her shoulder, then turned back to Dana with a grin."Don't worry, Dana. He's not dead, not that we know of. But Rich Walters isn't just missing. He's disappeared into thin air."

Dylan Bob - Christmas In The Heart (Reissue) LP
Bob Dylan (rod. Robert Allen Zimmerman, 24. mája 1941) je americký spevák a skladateľ. Všeobecne považovaný za jedného z najväčších skladateľov vôbec, bol počas svojej 60-ročnej kariéry hlavnou postavou populárnej kultúry. Väčšina jeho najslávnejších diel pochádza zo 60. rokov 20. storočia, keď sa piesne ako „Blowin' in the Wind“ (1963) a „The Times They Are a-Changin'“ (1964) stali hymnami hnutia za občianske práva a protivojnové hnutia. Jeho texty v tomto období zahŕňali politické, sociálne, filozofické a literárne vplyvy, popierali konvencie populárnej hudby a oslovovali rozvíjajúcu sa kontrakultúru.
Christmas in the Heart je 34. štúdiový album a prvý vianočný album, ktorý vydalo 13. októbra 2009 vydavateľstvo Columbia Records. Album obsahuje zbierku piesní, kolied a populárnych vianočných piesní. Všetky Dylanove tantiémy z predaja tohto albumu slúžia charitatívnym organizáciám Feeding America v USA, Crisis vo Veľkej Británii a World Food Programme na večnosť.

Sounds in the Dark
The third step into the Darkness is called Sounds in the Dark. It begins with a short story written in 1921 by American master horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft called The Music of Erich Zann. The author himself considered the story to be one of his masterpieces, and it is often deservedly included in various horror-story collections.

The Death of a Soldier Told by His Sister
Killed by shrapnel as he served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Olesya Khromeychuk's brother Volodymyr died on the frontline in eastern Ukraine. As Olesya tries to come to terms with losing her brother, she also tries to process the Russian invasion of Ukraine: as an immigrant living far from the frontline, as a historian of war and how societies respond to them, and as a woman, a civilian, and a sister.
In this timely blend of memoir and essay, Olesya Khromeychuk tells the story of her brother - the wiser older sibling, the artist and the soldier - and of his death. Deeply moving and thoughtful, The Death of a Soldier Told by His Sister picks apart the ways political violence shapes everyone and everything it touches and depicts with extraordinary intimacy the singular and complicated bond between a brother and sister. Olesya's vivid writing is a personal and powerful commitment to honesty in life, in death and in memory.
'Soon before he died, my brother said he had become a warrior. Why would a thinker, an artist, wish to become a soldier? Perhaps I didn't appreciate what it meant to be a thinker and an artist, or, maybe, what it meant to be a soldier.'
The Six Dales Trail
The SixDalesTrail project is our most extensive development springing from the Walkers Are Welcome Otley project. The trail, which was launched in June 2010, starts in Otley, and winds across the entire length of the superb Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to end at Middleham, in Wensleydale. Along its 38 mile length, the trail crosses the 5 watersheds that separate the six dales that give the trail its name. From Wharfedale it crosses into Washburndale, then into Nidderdale, Colsterdale, Coverdale and finally Wensleydale. The terrain traversed by the trail varies from quiet steep pastures to high heather moorland, from stretches alongside fast-flowing rivers to stretches through the 18th century parkland surrounding the ruins of Jervaulx Abbey. The entire route is full of interest and opens up areas that have not been downtrodden and eroded by the passage of a million boots “Just completed the trail and wanted to say how much we enjoyed it particularly the last section from Leeds Pals to Middleham. The people who were responsible for the guide book deserve particular credit - the lay out was very sensible with the map on the facing page to the description, the maps and descriptions were clear and easy to follow. As a walk description book it is probably one of the best I have used”. Pete Wainwright Testimonial, Six Dales Trail - Among the 50 best walking holidays in the UKThough this two year-old trail passes through some of the most glorious countryside in the Yorkshire Dales it was designed specifically to open up some of the area's lesser-known countryside, and does so brilliantly. Running north for 38 miles from Otley, in Wharfedale, to Middleham, in Wensleydale, through four other dales, it passes ruined abbeys, quaint villages and wild open countryside. The INDEPENDENT,

The Jelly Bean
Originally published in the periodical The Metropolitan, this story was first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922."This is a Southern story, with the scene laid in the small Lily of Tarleton, Georgia. I have a profound affection for Tarleton, but somehow whenever I write a story about it I receive letters from all over the South denouncing me in no uncertain terms. "The Jelly-Bean," published in "The Metropolitan," drew its full share of these admonitory notes.It was written under strange circumstances shortly after my first novel was published, and, moreover, it was the first story in which I had a collaborator. For, finding that I was unable to manage the crap-shooting episode, I turned it over to my wife, who, as a Southern girl, was presumably an expert on the technique and terminology of that great sectional pastime."

Inequality and the 1%
Fully updated new edition: Why we cannot afford the rich in post Brexit Britain
Since the Great Recession hit in 2008, the 1% has only grown richer while the rest find life increasingly tough. The gap between the haves and the have-nots has turned into a chasm. While the rich have found new ways of protecting their wealth, everyone else has suffered the penalties of austerity.
But inequality is more than just economics. Being born outside the 1% has a dramatic impact on a person's potential: reducing life expectancy, limiting educational and work prospects, and even affecting mental health.
What is to be done? In Inequality and the 1% leading social thinker Danny Dorling lays bare the extent and true cost of the division in our society and asks what have the super-rich ever done for us? He shows that it is the 1% that threatens us with the most harm and why we must urgently redress the balance
