Planting The World: Joseph Banks And His Collectors
A bold new history of how botany and global plant collecting - centred at Kew Gardens and driven by Joseph Banks - transformed the earth.
Botany was the darling and the powerhouse of the eighteenth century. As European ships ventured across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, discovery bloomed. Bounties of new plants were brought back, and their arrival meant much more than improved flowerbeds - it offered a new scientific frontier that would transform Europe's industry, medicine, eating and drinking habits, and even fashion.
Joseph Banks was the dynamo for this momentous change. As botanist for James Cook's great voyage to the South Pacific on the Endeavour, Banks collected plants on a vast scale, armed with the vision - as a child of the Enlightenment - that to travel physically was to advance intellectually. His thinking was as intrepid as Cook's seafaring: he commissioned radically influential and physically daring expeditions such as those of Francis Masson to the Cape Colony, George Staunton to China, George Caley to Australia, William Bligh to Tahiti and Jamaica, among many others.
Jordan Goodman's epic history follows these high seas adventurers and their influence in Europe, as well as taking us back to the early years of Kew Gardens, which Banks developed devotedly across the course of his life, transforming it into one of the world's largest and most diverse botanical gardens.
In a rip-roaring global expedition, based on original sources in many languages, Goodman gives a momentous history of how the discoveries made by Banks and his collectors advanced scientific understanding around the world.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – A fiúknak, akiket valaha szerettem
Írás közben egy csöppet sem fogom vissza magam. Úgy fogalmazok, mintha ő soha nem olvasná el. Merthogy nem is olvassa. Minden egyes titkos gondolatomat, gondos megfigyelésemet, mindent, amit eltettem magamban, belesűrítem egy levélbe. Amikor megírtam, lezárom, megcímezem, majd elteszem a pávakék kalapdobozba.
Ezek nem szerelmes levelek a szó legszorosabb értelmében. Akkor íródnak, amikor már nem akarok többé szerelmes lenni. Búcsúlevelek. Mert miután megírtam őket, nem emészt többé a mindent felemésztő szerelem. Onnantól fogva úgy tudom megenni reggel a gabonapelyhet, hogy közben nem azon jár az eszem, vajon ő is banánnal szereti-e a Cheeriost. Úgy éneklem a szerelmes dalokat, hogy már nem neki éneklem. Ha a szerelem olyan, mint a megszállottság, a leveleim olyanok, mint az ördögűzés. Megszabadítanak. Legalábbis azt kéne tenniük.

Andrzej Sapkowski 1948-ban született Lengyelországban. Hazája egyik leghíresebb és legsikeresebb szerzőjének számít. A World Fantasy Életműdíjjal kitüntetett szerző Vaják-sorozatával nemzetközi sikert aratott, könyvei alapján képregények és számítógépes játékok is készültek, 2019-ben pedig a Netflix forgatott belőlük sorozatot Henry Cavill főszereplésével.
A ketrec. The Prison Healer 2

Az utóbbi tíz évben más célja sem volt, mint ismét együtt lenni a családjával, és elpusztítani azokat, akik tönkretették az életüket. De kiszabadulása után a küldetése minden korábbinál bonyolultabbá vált. Ahogy Kiva megkezdi új életét a fővárosban, rádöbben, hogy a testvérei is megváltoztak fogsága alatt.

As a Thief in the Night
Harold Monkhouse is usually such an uncomplaining patient so when his brother Amos calls in one night, what he doesn't expect is to see him at death's door. Suspicions aroused, he demands an urgent second opinion. And when Harold is later found dead from arsenic poisoning, Amos is left in no doubt that foul play is afoot. The inquiry begins and Barbara Monkhouse is soon singled out as the prime suspect. What ensues is a roller coaster ride into crime fiction at its best as the truth of the fateful night eludes even the best of detective minds. Could it be a simple case of wife poisoning husband-or is it just possible that another shadowy figure stole into Harold's room, as a thief in the night, to rid the world of an innocent man?

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison
The grisly spectacle of public executions and torture of centuries ago has been replaced by the penal system in western society - but has anything really changed?
In his revolutionary work on control and power relations in our public institutions, Michel Foucault argues that the development of prisons, police organizations and legal hierarchies has merely changed the focus of domination from our bodies to our souls. Even schools, factories, barracks and hospitals, in which an individual's time is controlled hour by hour, are part of a disciplinary society.
The Man Who Was Thursday: a Nightmare
The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare is a novel by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1908. The book has been referred to as a metaphysical thriller.Although it deals with anarchists, the novel is not an exploration or rebuttal of anarchist thought; Chesterton's ad hoc construction of "Philosophical Anarchism" is distinguished from ordinary anarchism and is referred to several times not so much as a rebellion against government but as a rebellion against God.The novel has been described as "one of the hidden hinges of twentieth-century writing, the place where, before our eyes, the nonsense-fantastical tradition of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear pivots and becomes the nightmare-fantastical tradition of Kafka and Borges."
