The Beast
Nothing is as it used to be for the Black Dagger Brotherhood. After avoiding war with the Shadows, alliances have shifted and lines have been drawn. The slayers of the Lessening Society are stronger than ever, preying on human weakness to acquire more money, more weapons, more power. But as the Brotherhood readies for an all-out attack on them, one of their own fights a battle within himself . . .
For Rhage, the Brother with the biggest appetites, but also the biggest heart, life was supposed to be perfect - or at the very least, perfectly enjoyable. Mary, his beloved shellan, is by his side and his King and his brothers are thriving. But Rhage can't understand - or control - the panic and insecurity that plague him . . .
And that terrifies him - as well as distances him from his mate. After suffering mortal injury in battle, Rhage must reassess his priorities - and the answer, when it comes to him, rocks his world . . . and Mary's. But Mary is on a journey of her own, one that will either bring them closer together or cause a split that neither will recover from . . .

No Place to Hide
No Place to Hide is the story of one of the greatest national security leaks in US history. In June 2013, reporter and political commentator Glenn Greenwald published a series of reports in the Guardian which rocked the world. The reports revealed shocking truths about the extent to which the National Security Agency had been gathering information about US citizens and intercepting communication worldwide, and were based on documents leaked by former National Security Agency employee Edward Snowden to Greenwald. Including new revelations from documents entrusted to Greenwald by Snowden, this essential book tells the story of Snowden and the NSA, explores the extraordinary cooperation between private industry and the NSA and examines the far-reaching consequences of the government's surveillance program, both in the US and abroad.

My Lady Jane
New York Times Bestseller * Publishers Weekly Best Young Adult Book of 2016 * Bustle Best Young Adult Book of 2016 * YALSA 2017 Best Fiction for Young Adults This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is "an uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history--because sometimes history needs a little help. At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren't for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England. Like that could go wrong.

Alázatban járni az Istennel
"Törekedj belépni a benned lévő kincseskamrába, s akkor meglátod majd azt is, amelyik a mennyben van" - tanácsolja Szír Szent Izsák. Hogyan léphetünk be ebbe a kincseskamrába, ami bennünk van? Hogyan tudatosíthatjuk, hogy belső lelki élet nélkül nem őrizhetjük meg a hitünket? Olyan kérdések ezek, amelyekre sürgősen válaszolnunk kell, ha hívő emberekként életünknek stabilitást és mélységet szeretnénk. S ha valódi válaszokat várunk ezekre a kérdésekre, akkor igazi lelki mesterekre van szükségünk: olyan vezetőkre, akikre bátran hagyatkozhatunk, amikor "a szív kincseskamrájába" próbálunk leereszkedni. A keresztény hagyomány számtalan lelki mestere közül mi a sivatagi atyákat választottuk vezetőül: "az Isten embereit", akik az egyiptomi sivatag magányában éltek, s annak szentelték az életüket, hogy meghallják a Szentlélek és saját emberségük hangját. Segítségünkre lehetnek abban, hogy párbeszédet kezdjünk az Istennel, abban, hogy valódi, belső imádság születhessen bennünk.
ADALBERTO PIOVANO (1954-) olasz bencés szerzetes, a dumenzai Szentháromság monostor nyugalmazott perjele. A korai szerzetesség és az orosz szerzetesség szakértője, számos tanulmány és könyv szerzője, az ökumenikus párbeszéd előmozdítója az orosz ortodox egyházzal.

Felkelés
A. D. 1286. Skócia emberemlékezet óta a legkeményebb tél szorításában vergődik. Egyesek azt állítják, eljött a végítélet napja.
Skócia királya a viharos sötétségben kilovagol Edinburgh-ból. Útközben saját embere gyilkolja meg, így a trón öröklése nyitott kérdéssé válik. A király halálával mintha követ dobtak volna egy tóba, a hullámok messzire terjednek. Polgárháború fenyeget, a legbefolyásosabb skót családok küzdenek a hatalomért, mit sem tudva arról, hogy Edward, Anglia királya közben saját tervét is mozgásba hozta.
Edward majdnem két évtizeden át dédelgette a hódítás tervét, egy ősi próféciából táplálkozó álmot, ami örökre megváltoztathatja Britanniát.
Ám a sors nem úgy akarta, hogy Edward könnyedén sikerrel járjon. A háború hamvaiból, vérbosszún és megosztott hűségen át egy ifjú fegyvernök bukkan fel, hogy ellenálljon Anglia leghatalmasabb királyának. A neve Robert Bruce. Az ő történetének kezdetét meséli el a Felkelés.

Grow
Great businesses naturally have many things in common: superbly designed products and services, knockout customer experiences, sustained excellence at execution, outstanding talent and teamwork, and great leadership. But there's also something else, an X factor that keeps renewing and strengthening great businesses through good times and bad. Based on almost ten years of empirical research involving 50,000 companies, Jim Stengel shows how the world's 50 best businesses - as diverse as Apple, Red Bull, Pampers and Petrobras - have a cause and effect relationship between financial performance and their ability to connect with fundamental human emotions, hopes, values and greater purposes. In this, the next big idea book, Stengel deftly blends timeless truths about human behaviour and values into an action framework, to show us how by embracing what he describes as 'brand ideals', the world's best businesses can achieve incredible growth and drastically improve their performance.

Beyond Human Nature
We are constantly told that human traits - from aggression to gender differences - are 'hardwired'. In "Beyond Human Nature" Jesse J. Prinz reveals that it is the societies we live in, not our genes, that determine how we think and feel. From why mental illness differs so widely between cultures to how geography influences morals, from our sexual preferences to how we learn languages, he proves that the vast diversity of behaviour is not ingrained. This is a book about humanity's power to transcend nature; and one that, ultimately, celebrates our differences. Jesse J. Prinz is currently a Distinguished Professor of philosophy at the City University of New York and an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he taught until January 2009. He works primarily in the philosophy of psychology and has produced books and articles on emotion, moral psychology, aesthetics and consciousness.

He is ready to embrace his destiny, and has nothing to lose...Steve Dark was once a lost soul, torn between his family and his one-of-a-kind talent for hunting down serial killers - especially those so-called 'Level 26' killers whose depravity exceeds law enforcement's official scale of evil. In his reluctant pursuit of justice Dark once crossed the ultimate line, a line that might cause a lesser man to lose himself completely. Not Dark. When the world took everything from him, when it destroyed the very thing Dark once lived for, it sparked a transformation that, three years later, is only just complete. Dark is now a man on a mission. A mission unbound by authorities. A mission that, at long last, allows him to embrace his destiny. Dark is finally ready - ready to take justice to the next level.

The Girl of His Dream
One rainy morning Commissario Brunetti and Ispettore Vianello respond to an emergency call reporting a body floating near some steps on the Grand Canal. Reaching down to pull it out, Brunetti's wrist is caught by the silkiness of golden hair, and he sees a small foot - together he and Vianello lift a dead girl from the water.
But, inconceivably, no one has reported a missing child, nor the theft of the gold jewellery that she carries. Brunetti is drawn into a search not only for the cause of her death but also for her identity, her family, and for the secrets that people will keep in order to protect their children - be they innocent or guilty.
From the canals and palazzi of Venice to a gypsy encampment on the mainland, Brunetti struggles with institutional prejudice and entrenched criminality to try to unravel the fate of the dead child.

Origin of our Species
"When it comes to human evolution Chris Stringer is as close to the horse's mouth as it gets..."The Origin of Our Species" should be the one-stop source on the subject. Read it now". ("BBC Focus"). Do all humans originate from Africa? How did we spread across the globe? Are we separate from Neanderthals, or do some of us actually have their genes? When did humans become 'modern' - are traits such as art, technology, language, ritual and belief unique to us? Has human evolution stopped, or are we still evolving? Chris Stringer has been involved in much of the crucial research into the origins of humanity, and here he draws on a wealth of evidence - from fossils and archaeology to the mysteries of ancient DNA - to reveal the definitive story of where we came from, how we lived, how we got here and who we are.
