Turns out her mother is a really good liar.

When Rose Gold agrees to have Patty move in, it seems their relationship is truly on the mend. And she has waited such a long time for her mother to come home.
But is she still the pliable young girl she once was? And is Patty still as keen on settling an old score?

How not to Diet
Put an end to dieting and replace weight-loss struggles with this easy approach to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle, from the bestselling author of How Not to Die.
Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or a new fad to try in order to lose weight - but these diets aren't making us any happier or healthier. As obesity rates and associated disease and impairments continue to rise, it's time for a different approach.
How Not to Diet is a treasure trove of buried data and cutting-edge dietary research that Dr Michael Greger has translated into accessible, actionable advice with exciting tools and tricks that will help you to safely lose weight and eliminate unwanted body fat - for good.
Dr Greger, renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of nutritionfacts.org, explores the many causes of obesity - from our genes to the portions on our plate to other environmental factors - and the many consequences, from diabetes to cancer to mental health issues. From there, Dr Greger breaks down a variety of approaches to weight loss, honing in on the optimal criteria that enable success, including: a diet high in fibre and water, a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar, and diet full of anti-inflammatory foods.
How Not to Diet then goes beyond food to explore the many other weight-loss accelerators available to us in our body's systems, revealing how plant-based meals can be eaten at specific times to maximize our bodies' natural fat-burning activities. Dr Greger provides a clear plan not only for the ultimate weight loss diet, but also the approach we must take to unlock its greatest efficacy.

Szeretet - Naptárkönyv 2021
Egyedülálló műfajú kötet: naptárkönyv. Határidőnapló a 2021-es évre, melyet hónapról hónapra és hétről hétre Müller Péter bölcs, felemelő, olykor megrendítő gondolatai, tanácsai kísérnek. Különleges lézertechnikával készült, exkluzív borítóval. "Ezt a könyvet ketten írjuk. Régi vágyam valósul meg: együtt írni az olvasómmal. Lényegében mindig ez történik. Az író csak megtermékenyít, a művet az olvasó szüli meg. Társszerzők vagyunk. Boldog vagyok, ha könyveimbe belefirkálnak, mert látom, hogy létrejött közöttünk valami igazi. Ez itt most napló. Érdemes beleírni, akárcsak annyit, hogy "Cukrot, lisztet venni!" Én ifjúkori naplóm első oldalára annyit írtam, hogy "Jaj!" Már nem tudom, miért. Három hét múlva újra elővettem, s azt írtam, hogy "Jaj!" Újra. Akkor már tudtam, a lélek akkor támaszkodik a betűkre, ha valami feszíti. Nem biztos, hogy ez "jaj!". Lehet egy boldog élmény. Repülök, és nem akarom elfelejteni. Titkot mondok: azt, hogy mi történik veled, jó esetben csak tíz év múlva érted meg. Addig csak napról-napra vándorolsz, nem tudod, hogy miért. És tíz év múlva, vagy életed végén, esetleg már a felnőtt gyermekeid kezében ragyogni kezd még egy olyan mondat is, hogy "Cukrot, lisztet venni!" Nincsenek elhanyagolható mozzanatok. Írjunk hát, együtt. Ez olyan, mint a tánc. Én vezetlek." Müller Péter

The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos
The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and send humans even further than NASA has gone. These entrepreneurs have founded some of the biggest brands in the world-Amazon, Microsoft, Virgin, Tesla, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Now they are pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space.
Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world's richest men as they struggle to end governments' monopoly on the cosmos. The Space Barons is also a story of rivalry-hard-charging startups warring with established contractors, and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.

Surprise, Kill, Vanish
'As fast paced as a thriller' Fred Burton, Stratfor Talks' Pen and Sword Podcast
'Jacobsen here presents a tour de force exploring the CIA's paramilitary activities...this excellent work feels like uncovering the tip of the iceberg ...Highly recommended for those seeking a better understanding of American foreign policy in action' Jacob Sherman, Library Journal
'A behind-the-scenes look at the most shadowy corners of the American intelligence community...Well-sourced and well-paced, this book is full of surprises' Kirkus
'Annie Jacobsen takes us inside the darkest and most morally ambiguous corner of our government, where politicians ask brave men and women to kill-up close and personal-on America's behalf' Garrett M. Graff, author of Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government's Secret Plan to Save Itself - While the Rest of us Die
'This is a first rate book on the CIA, its paramilitary armies, operators, and assassins' New York Journal of Books
'Having already demonstrated her remarkable aptitude for unearthing government secrets in books like Area 51 (2011) and The Pentagon's Brain (2015), Jacobsen pulls back the curtain on the history of covert warfare and state sanctioned assassinations from WWII to the present...Jacobsen's work revealing a poorly understood but essential slice of warfare history belongs in every library collection' Booklist
The definitive, character-driven history of CIA covert operations and U.S. government-sponsored assassinations, from the author of the Pulizter Prize finalist The Pentagon's Brain
Since 1947, domestic and foreign assassinations have been executed under the C IA-led covert action operations team. Before that time, responsibility for taking out America's enemies abroad was even more shrouded in mystery. Despite Hollywood notions of last-minute rogue-operations and external secret hires, covert action is actually a cog in a colossal foreign policy machine, moving through, among others, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, the House and Senate Select Committees. At the end of the day, it is the President, not the C IA, who is singularly in charge.
For the first time, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen takes us deep inside this top-secret history. With unparalleled access to former operatives, ambassadors, and even past directors of the Secret Service and CIA operations, Jacobsen reveals the inner workings of these teams, and just how far a U.S. president may go, covertly but lawfully, to pursue the nation's interests.
