Blueprint
From birth to adulthood, Blueprint tells you what you need to know about how you became who you are
Have you ever wondered how your early life shaped you? From beginning to say simple words like 'mama' and learning how to walk around unaided, to the first day of school and forming new friendships, everyone has been a child. The roots of our adult selves go right back to our first experiences. How we think, act and interact is influenced by our early years, yet most people don't know the key findings from the juiciest child development studies that can give us insight into our adult selves.
Weaving together cutting edge research, everyday experience and clinical examples, Dr Lucy Maddox explains how we develop from an unconscious bundle of cells floating about in the dark of the in uterine environment to to a fully grown complex adult, revealing fascinating insights about our personality, relationships and daily lives along the way.

Cedar Hole is a foggy little town where only the grass seems able to thrive. Enter Robert J. Cutler, enigmatic, confident and relentlessly cheerful.

Spud's nine terrifying elder sisters make his life a daily battle and he slips easily and willingly into the role of the school bully. It seems that these boys' lives have been mapped out already. But destiny has other plans: the colourful residents of Cedar Hole will be forced to acknowledge that a great man can come in many guises.

Balancing Act
Four strong women. All working in a family business. But what happens when they begin to want different things? And what about the men - and the children - in their lives?
Susie Moran has always been the breadwinner in her family. Her husband was the one who was there for their three girls. But now he wants something of his past back - the life he had before Susie's career took off, before they had children. And those children don't see their mother's business the way she has always seen it, thereby threatening the balance she has worked so hard to achieve.
And then, amidst the simmering tensions, someone significant from the past, someone almost forgotten, turns up. The problems of the past, the present, and the future all become challenges to the stability of both family and work. Which relationships - if any - will survive?
Secrets So Deep
From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and mystery.
Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove. Local legend claims that the women in the waves - the ghosts from an old whaling village - called her mother into the ocean with their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the sea wants, the sea will have.
Avril has spent the past twelve years trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally discover what really happened to her mother.
As Avril becomes more involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole, Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And Avril keeps meeting herself - and her dead mother - late at night, at the edge of the ocean.
The truth Avril seeks is ready to be discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost . . .

Az első világvége, amit együtt töltöttünk
Ha egy hónapunk, netán csak öt percünk volna hátra az életből az első, esetleg a legeslegutolsó világvége előtt, mit tennénk? Hagyatkozhatunk a kilégzés, belégzés egyenletes ritmusára, nyugodtan, békésen várjuk a magunk teremtette apokalipszist, vagy pörgessük végig régmúlt örömeinket, valljuk meg bűneinket a "végidők önfeledt dekadenciájával"?
Selyem Zsuzsa novelláinak hősei, legyenek emberek, állatok, áldozatok, klímabűnözők vagy szaporodni vágyó humánok, rendre úgy hiszik, hogy a rossz dolgok, ha vannak egyáltalán, meggyógyíthatók. A történetek hol groteszk, hol szürreálisan valóságos világában a szereplők országhatárokon át, háborúból menekülve, a pokol köreit megjárva vagy épp egy gyanúsan békésnek ígérkező vitorlázásról nem elszökve, vitriolos humorral próbálják túlélni sorsuk kiszámíthatatlan fordulatait.
Az első világvége, amit együtt töltöttünk olyan, akár egy fanyar iróniával megírt túlélési kézikönyv: megpróbál úgy vigasztalni, hogy ne hazudjon.
"Az én falamra egy óra van rajzolva, rajta még 3 perc van a világvégéig, ó, azok a régi szép idők!"
Hát ezért szakítottunk
"Te nem tudod és nem is hallod, mit dobtak az ajtó elé. Azt sem tudod, egyáltalán miért is történt.
Gyönyörű nap van, napsütés meg minden. Az ilyen napokon úgy érzi az ember, minden rendben lesz, satöbbi. Nem pont a legjobb nap ehhez, nekünk legalábbis, hisz mi esős időszakban jártunk, október 5-től november 12-ig. De most december van, az ég ragyog, én meg világosan értek mindent. Most elmondom, hogy miért szakítottunk, Ed. Leírom ebben a levélben, a teljes igazságot arról, miért is alakult így. És az igazság az, hogy olyan rohadtul szerettelek."
Min Green furcsa lány, a régi filmek rajongója, filmrendezőnek készül, és örökké fejben mozizik. Ed Slaterton jóképű, népszerű, kosaras sztár, és az állami bajnokságra hajt.
Min Green és Ed Slaterton jártak.
Majd pedig szakítottak...
Min levelet ír Ednek és egy dobozzal elindul a fiúhoz. A dobozban ott van mindaz, amiért szakítottak. Két söröskupak, egy mozijegy, egy összehajtogatott levélke, egy gyufásdoboz, egy szögmérő, könyvek, egy játék teherautó, egy pár ronda fülbevaló, egy fésű egy motelből, meg minden más, ami összegyűlt szédítő, bensőséges, szívszaggató kapcsolatuk alatt. Min sorba veszi a tárgyakat és elmeséli a történetüket.
Aztán a doboz Ed küszöbén landol...

~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
The next morning, I went to the bank and met Otto. He was a small man with a nervous pinched face that made him look judgmental, but as I talked to him, I realized it was just uncertainty. He listened as I told him the story of my mythical friend who asked me to check on her husband.
I don’t know if he bought it, but he pretended to be sympathetic. “What can I tell you?”
“I need your help. I have no idea where to start looking,” I said. “It’s a big territory.”
He nodded. “Finding one claim… there are many, many claims to sort through.”
“I don’t mind going through them.”
He looked shocked. “I can’t let you have access to county records. The most I could do is offer to do a title search.” He looked up. “I’d have to do that on my own time, you understand.”
“I’d be grateful if you could,” I said.
A light glimmered in his eye. “I am a very busy man.”
I took out a piece of paper and showed it to him. I’d written down Dave’s name and the approximate date when he would have filed his claim. “This is what I know. I’d be glad to compensate you for your time if you could locate any information.”
“Are you offering a county official a bribe?”
“Of course not. I was offering you compensation for your time… your free time.”
He shook his head. “A county official can’t take money for a personal service.”
I walked around his desk, moving closer and smiling at him. Karla had told me he was a widower with a son, but he never came to the saloon. “I’m not sure what that man does to get satisfaction,” she said.
Now, I sat on his desk and smiled my most charming smile. “I really gave my word to this woman that I would do whatever I could to find her husband, and I seem to be at a dead end.”
“I’m sorry,” he said, unable to take his eyes off my breasts.
“Perhaps you have an idea. I’m not worldly the way you are, sir, and your advice would mean so much to me. Seeing as you could do this task, as a favor to a friend — I know it is a lot to ask.” I pretended to wrack my brain. “Well, is it possible, do you think an exchange of favors might be more appropriate?”
He swallowed. “It could be.”
“We could arrange to be very discreet about the exchange.”
“It would have to be… discreet.”
I let my dangling leg brush his. “And I understand a man in your position, well, I imagine that people must constantly be trying to take advantage of you.”
“Yes. They think they can demand anything. Anything at all, as if my time is not my own.”
“If you agreed to do me this favor, I would hate to think of that worry in your mind, troubling. I mean, you don’t know me, and have no guarantee that I’d provide the kind of favor that your effort would be worth.”
“That’s always a concern,” he said.
I put the paper in his vest pocket and stroked his face. “If you have a back room where we could have some privacy, I’d be delighted to give you a little taste of what I am willing to provide you in return for this great favor.”
His pulse was racing. “I’ll put out the closed sign.”
He went to the door and put up a hand-lettered “OUT TO LUNCH”

The classic, definitive biography of Marilyn Monroe, now updated in the year of the 60th anniversary of the iconic star's death - soon to be a major Netflix film, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Untold Tapes
'Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will' Guardian
More than half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe is arguably still one of the most famous people in the world.

Drawing on more than 600 first-hand interviews, Anthony Summers offers the classic, definitive biography of a woman who captivated the world. Marilyn's tragic story is clouded by gossip-reporting more than almost any other. GODDESS, however, delivers new, fully documented yet exciting fact.

Kriptovalutákról Konyhanyelven
„Borzasztóan ?ijesztő érzés kezdőnek lenni, hiszen semmit sem tudok.” – jogosan gondolhatod ezt. Legyen szó bármiről is, amíg nem vágunk bele és nem vesszük a fáradtságot valaminek a megértéséhez, megtanulásához, addig csak kezdők lehetünk. Én még azt is gondolom, sokkal félelmetesebb most 2022-ben, vagy majd később, a következő években zöldfülű Kriptovalutásnak lenni, mint 2017-ben volt hiszen amikor én kezdtem csak 1500 Kriptovaluta volt a piacon. Ma húszezer Kriptovaluta mellett szétaprózódik az ember figyelme a rengeteg lehetőség között és a több, mint 500 tőzsde és számtalan decentralizált alkalmazás több mint sok egy kezdőnek! Olyan borzalmas portfó összetételeket hallok kezdőktől, sokszor megrémítenek. Minden egyes alkalommal reménykedem abban, amikor egy új tanítványom érkezik hozzám megérteni a Kriptovalutákat, hogy még ne legyen túl késő és tele a portfóliója olyan borzalmas Kriptovalutákkal, amiket random válogatott össze, mindenféle tanulás nélkül. Pedig már vannak megoldások! Most például Magyarország legnagyobb Kriptos könyvét tartod a kezedben, amit 2000 órámba telt összerakni, pontosabban ennél sokkal többe, hiszen évek óta aktív magyar és külföldi kutatásokat végzek és Magyarország egyetlen Kriptovaluta oktatója vagyok, aki külföldi mesterdiplomát szerzett a Kriptovalutákból. Amint egy lépést beljebb teszünk és vállaljuk azt, hogy időt és energiát nem sajnálva egy új dolgot megtanulunk, minden egyes új megszerzett információval büszkébbek lehetünk magunkra és akár gazdagabbak is lehetünk, ha jól cselekszünk. Tudással sokkal könnyebb gazdagodni, tudás nélkül csak csukott szemmel lövöldözünk. Ha egy ilyen bonyolult, gyorsan fejlődő és sokszor szemtelenül volatilis (hullámzó) piacon akarunk anyagi sikereket elérni, mint a Kriptovaluták tere, akkor ez a félelmetes érzés az emberen akkor is hajlamos úrrá lenni, amikor már éveket tanult a Kriptovalutákról. Ez a könyv a – Kriptovalutákról Konyhanyelven – évek tapasztalatát, kutatását és fejlődését összegzi olyan formában – kezdők és haladók számára egyaránt –, hogy ezeket a „félelem-várakat” lerombolja. Amikor ott állsz az utad kezdetén, több tízezer Kriptovalutával farkasszemet nézve, és nehezen tudod eldönteni azt, hogy mi is lenne számodra az ideális, akkor egy ilyen biztos tudásbázis rengeteget fog neked segíteni annak a stabil tudásnak a megszerzésében, amelyre olyan áhítattal vágysz a siker érdekében. Ne várd meg, míg azon rettegsz éjszakákon át, hogy a betett pénzed a semmivé lesz! Ez a könyv még azokat a kérdéseidet is meg fogja válaszolni, amire álmodban nem is gondoltál volna! Itt találkozni fogsz a pénzzel, a pénznek a történetével, a hittel, más befektetési lehetőségek összehasonlításával, Kripto milliomosok szaftos interjúival, blokklánc programozók véleményével a piacról, projektet mély elemzésével, azzal, hogy mire is jó ez a technológia, hogyan lehet milliókat érő Kriptovalutákat időben nyakon csípni, mi a mögöttes technológia, hogyan jöjj rá arra mi neked az optimális befektetési mód, milyen oldalak közül választhatsz és a könyv végére magabiztosan fogod látni, hogy miképp keresd meg a milliókat érő projektjeidet saját magadtól! Az ebben összegzett tudást neked is 2000 órába telne megértened, ha ez a könyv nem lenne! Vedd a kezedbe az irányítást és sajátítsd el évek tapasztalatát és tudását akár egy hét alatt!
