Stories We Tell Ourselves
Throughout history we have told ourselves stories to try and make sense of our place in the universe. Richard Holloway takes us on a personal, scientific and philosophical journey to explore what he believes the answers to the biggest of questions are. He examines what we know about the universe into which we are propelled at birth and from which we are expelled at death, the stories we have told about where we come from, and the stories we tell to get through this muddling experience of life.
Thought-provoking, revelatory, compassionate and playful, Stories We Tell Ourselves is a personal reckoning with life's mysteries by one of the most important and beloved thinkers of our time.

Halálos kapcsolatok
Tragikus balesetnek látszik, amikor egy gyógyulófélben lévő drogost, Lyle Pickeringet holtan találnak, mert túladagolta magát. Csakhogy a nővére, Rochelle, és Eve Dallas hadnagy okosabbak annál, hogy higgyenek a látszatnak. Lyle-t meggyilkolták, és a bizonyítékok a régi utcai bandája felé mutatnak.
Miközben Eve és a férje, Roarke a város földalatti bárjaiban, drogtanyáin és sztriptízklubjaiban követik a gyilkos nyomát, újabb holttestet találnak. Mivel egyre erősebb a kapcsolat az élők és a holtak között, és az áldozatok száma is emelkedik, Eve tudja, hogy a lehető leghamarabb meg kell oldania ezt az ügyet, mielőtt a hataloméhes gyilkos vérfürdőt rendez a város utcáin.

A fenevad bukása
Ezernégyszázhuszonnyolc. Gabriel de Sceleus látszólag mindent elért, amire csak vágyhatott: hiába lett Cillei Borbála halálos ellensége, Zsigmond király bizalmát élvezve, kancellárjaként és diplomáciája fő szervezőjeként hatalmas vagyonra, befolyásra, előbb püspöki, majd érseki címre tesz szert, és azt suttogják, nem alaptalanul számít a bíborosi kalap elnyerésére sem. Gabriel azonban minden eredményét, minden erőfeszítését hiábavalónak érzi, hiszen nem tudta megszerezni Borbála királynétól azt, amire a legjobban vágyott: Szent László vérereklyéjét.
Miközben Gabriel és Borbála a legalattomosabb és legkegyetlenebb eszközöktől sem visszariadva vívja magánháborúját, Zsigmond Galambóc várát ostromolja, az északi országrészt, a királynői birtokokat husziták dúlják, és Velence kitartó diplomáciai erőfeszítéseinek köszönhetően veszélybe kerülni látszik a Zsigmond által hőn áhított német-római császári korona elnyerése is. Az udvart és szinte egész Európát behálózó cselszövések közepette időnként szembekerül egymással a magán- és a közérdek, kényszerű szövetségek születnek halálos ellenségek között, és akár családon belül sem ritkák az árulások.
Azonban minderről mit sem tudva Nagyváradon felcseperedik egy göndör, vörösesszőke hajú fiúcska, aki különösen éles eszével és az anyjától, a királynétól tanult alkímiai ismereteivel tűnik ki kortársai közül. Johannes a szigorú anyai parancs ellenére egy nap Pozsonyba szökik Váradról, ahol megakad rajta a nagy hatalmú és rettegett Gabriel de Sceleus kancellár szeme, és inasává fogadja az árvának hitt fiút.
Ám a tehetséges és bátor gyermek titka óhatatlanul lelepleződik, és Gabriel úgy dönt, a fián keresztül áll bosszút az anyán…
Bökös Borbála történelmi regénytrilógiájának kiterjedt kutatásokon alapuló, egyedi szemszögből és egyedi hangvételben megírt befejező kötete méltó lezárása a XV. század első harmadának magyar és európai történetét és az amögött rejlő „árnyéktörténelmet” bemutató sorozatnak.

The New Breed
'A must read for anyone interested in the emerging ethics of robotics' Irene M. Pepperberg
'Endless ink has been spilled on AI and our robot future. Just when it seems there's nothing left to be said, along comes Kate Darling's book. For the first time, it seems we're having the conversation we ought to be having' Tim O'Reilly
A bold, optimistic exploration of the relationship between robots and humans based on our history with animals, from a renowned MIT researcher
The robots are here. They make our cars, they deliver fast food, they mine the sea floor. And in the near-future their presence will increasingly enter our homes and workplaces - making human-robot interaction a frequent, everyday occurrence. What will this future look like? What will define the relationship between humans and robots?
Here Kate Darling, a world-renowned expert in robot ethics, shows that in order to understand the new robot world, we must first move beyond the idea that this technology will be something like us. Instead, she argues, we should look to our relationship with animals. Just as we have harnessed the power of animals to aid us in war and work, so too will robots supplement - rather than replace - our own skills and abilities.
A deeply original analysis of our technological future and the ethical dilemmas that await us, The New Breed explains how the treatment of machines can reveal a new understanding of our own history, our own systems and how we relate - not just to non-humans, but also to each other.

The Hatmakers
The first adventure in a spellbinding new magical world.
'Wildly inventive . . . full of laugh-out-loud humour, enchanting magic and rebellious hope. I loved it' Catherine Doyle
Cordelia comes from a long line of magical milliners, who weave alchemy and enchantment into every hat. In Cordelia's world, Making - crafting items such as hats, cloaks, watches, boots and gloves from magical ingredients - is a rare and ancient skill, and only a few special Maker families remain.
When Cordelia's father Prospero and his ship, the Jolly Bonnet, are lost at sea during a mission to collect hat ingredients, Cordelia is determined to find him. But Uncle Tiberius and Aunt Ariadne have no time to help the littlest Hatmaker, for an ancient rivalry between the Maker families is threatening to surface. Worse, someone seems to be using Maker magic to start a war.
It's up to Cordelia to find out who, and why . . .
'An utterly charming adventure full of wildness, wit, magic and heart' Anna James

Landscape Painting with Watercolours and Other Techniques
Through engaging exercises, readers will learn how to tell a story while painting and drawing a landscape, a cityscape or seascape with watercolour and other techniques.
This hands-on guide to landscape watercolor and other drawing and painting techniques takes readers on a series of excursions from the sea to the city, mastering the use of line and color along the way. A useful manual for drawing on the spot, it offers valuable insight into how to carefully observe the landscape before us and choose what about it we want to express; how to select and prioritize visual information; and how to apply drawing techniques to create the illusion that our compositions have been arranged effortlessly, as if by nature itself. In each of the book’s five sections (Color and Materials; Horizontality and Depth; Graphics, Shadows and Light; Lines and Perspective; and Urban Lines and Colors), the author suggests some of the questions we should ask ourselves when observing a landscape. We will learn how to tell a story while painting, prioritizing color ratios and graphic elements over faithful representation in the final result. Through these engaging exercises, readers will soon be able to manage compositional line and color effectively as they experiment with different drawing, painting and landscape representation tools and techniques.
