Daimler Fleetlines
The embryonic Daimler Motor Co. Ltd and the Lancashire Steam Motor Co. (Leyland Motors Ltd from 1907) were both formed in 1896 and produced early examples of motor vehicles in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Daimler established a number of works in the district of Radford in Coventry, where a range of high-end cars and buses were assembled.Leyland had stolen a march on Daimler by bringing the revolutionary Atlantean to the market in late 1958. It would be August 1960 before Daimler’s equivalent, the Fleetline, was introduced. The Fleetline possessed many of the attributes of the Atlantean but one gave it an advantage over its competitor. A drop-centre rear axle was fitted as standard which eliminated the need for low-height bodywork. Also, apart from a few early models, the bus was mainly powered by the ever-reliable Gardner six-cylinder engine.The two builders went toe-to-toe during the 1960s and early 1970s as the only other realistic equivalent option was the Bristol VRT. Jaguar Cars, who had acquired the company from BSA in 1960, was keen to divest itself of the Bus Building Division and this resulted in a merger with Leyland Motors. Production of the Fleetline was transferred to Leyland’s Farington site during 1973. However, it wasn’t until 1976 that the Daimler name was dropped in favour of the Leyland Fleetline brand name, which continued to be available until 1981.Over 8,700 Fleetlines were produced under the Daimler name, including a significant number of single-deck types. Here Mike Rhodes charts the fortunes of the Fleetline until the Daimler name was dropped.
VW Corrado
The VW Corrado is a purebred sports car in its own right, originally tasked with the difficult job of replacing the legendary Scirocco coupés. It was designed to showcase the Volkswagen Group’s considerable technical and mechanical capabilities in the late 1980s. As such, it was intended to compete head-to-head with Porsche and its 924-944 models, surpassing both in many aspects, as well as other rival models such as the Ford Probe, Toyota Célica, Vauxhall Calibra and Nissan 200 SX.Here the creative and development process of the Corrado is explored in detail through informative text and a full range of illustrations. The car’s evolution over the years, the different variants, the special series and even the original preparations, developed by the best German tuners such as Oettinger, Treser, ABT or Zender, are also featured in this book. This indispensable guide tells the complete story of the VW Corrado.
Body Electric
In today’s world, a normal day means sitting in front of a screen for eight to ten hours. Meeting after meeting. Email after email. We leave our desks drained, overstimulated and unfocused, only to go home, sit down again, and scroll some more. The result? Headaches, back pain, restless sleep, and rising rates of preventable disease. We know technology is breaking us down—so why can’t we break away? It’s a question that Manoush Zomorodi has always wanted to answer. As the host of NPR's TED Radio Hour and Body Electric podcast, she has interviewed experts, conducted citizen experiments, and sought out research about how our digital lives are changing the way we think, learn, and feel. Now, in Body Electric, she presents an eye-opening investigation into the impact technology and sedentary living has had on our bodies and brains, from breath and eyesight to blood pressure, posture, and productivity, and shares what science (and tens of thousands of participants in a groundbreaking study with Columbia University Medical Center) have taught her—it’s the small shifts, not the digital detoxes, that will make us healthier. And all we need is five minutes. Filled with perspective-shifting data and real-life applications and tools, Body Electric is the next must-read for fans of Four Thousand Weeks and The Anxious Generation, and anyone else feeling trapped by their technology.

Zaklínač II.: Meč osudu
Zaklínač – ošlehaný muž bez věku, jehož bílé vlasy nejsou znakem stáří, ale mutace, kterou musel podstoupit. Placený i dobrovolný likvidátor prapodivných tvorů: mantichor, trollů, vidlohonů, strig, amfisbain – pokud ovšem ohrožují lidský rod; v takovém případě zabíjí i bytost zvanou člověk. Prvotřídní, skvělý bojovník, který není neporazitelný ani nezranitelný – naopak, téměř z každého dobrodružství si odnáší další šrámy na těle i na duši.
Zrádné tropy (základní verze)
Za zlatem, slávou a průšvihy! Zrádné tropy nás v krkolomných zvratech rafinovaného a prudce pádícího děje zavedou stejně tak do bájného Eldoráda jako do paláců španělských velmožů, do hlubin peruánských dolů či na vrcholky hor, do džunglí i do pustin. Španělské „pikareskní romány“ vyprávějí o životě nějakého šibala či lotra. Mezi ty nejslavnější právem patří dílo Franciska de Queveda ze sedmnáctého století nazvané Život rošťáka. De Quevedův román končí tím, že „hrdina“ Pablos odplouvá do Nového světa. Vynikající scenárista Alain Ayroles a Juanjo Guarnido, kreslíř, jejž nejvíce proslavila série Blacksad, se rozhodli odvyprávět pokračování tohoto příběhu. Příhody nenapravitelného ničemy Pablose v Jižní Americe uvádějí na scénu barvitou mozaiku krajin od Amazonie po Kordillery a lidí i lidiček od španělských grandů až po uprchlé otroky, což umožnilo Guarnidovi předvést celou paletu velkolepých scenérií, ohromujících barev a karikovaných postav, jak to od něj známe z Blacksada.
Gospel of Lies
A psychological civil war is brewing, tearing through families and friendships as belief clashes with non-belief. In today's hyper-polarised climate, evangelicalism and right-wing extremism are often seen as one and the same, intensifying the divide. Believers perceive any departure from religious tradition as a personal affront, while non-believers fear their fundamental human rights are at the mercy of the religious majority. How do you navigate such a taboo topic when the stakes feel impossibly hig? ospel of Lies fearlessly confronts these critical issues head-on. This book offers a direct, no-nonsense guide to responding to the full spectrum of Christian rhetoric, from the seemingly innocent 'How can you not believe in a god when you see the world around you?' to the fiery condemnation of 'You'll regret this when you're burning in hell.'Beyond the debates, Gospel of Lies compassionately addresses the profound trauma that religion and early indoctrination can inflict. It acknowledges the lingering fears and anxieties that often persist long after faith has faded. Through eight incisive chapters, this book delves into specific doctrines, religious practices, and the author's personal experiences, providing practical responses and empowering insights. Arm yourself with the knowledge to confidently answer apologetics-based questions, navigate challenging family conversations about non-belief, and find validation in your courageous pursuit of truth and skepticism over blind faith.
Amnesia Remembered
Our modern culture is increasingly expressed in the form of digital artifacts, yet archaeology is in its infancy when it comes to researching and understanding them. The study and reverse engineering of digital artifacts is no longer the exclusive domain of computer scientists. Presented by way of analogy to the process of archaeological fieldwork familiar to readers, the 1986 Electronic Arts game Amnesia is used as a vehicle to explain the procedure and thought process required to reverse engineer a digital artifact. As a go-to reference to learn how to begin studying the digital, Amnesia is shown to be a multi-layered artifact with a complex backstory; through it, topics in data compression, copy protection, memory management, and programming languages are covered.

The Art of Uncertainty
From the UK's 'statistical national treasure', a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertainty
We live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don't know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives?
David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.
In engaging, crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, showing how it can help us think more analytically about everything from medical advice to pandemics and climate change forecasts, and explores how we can update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. Along the way, he explains why roughly 40% of football results come down to luck rather than talent, how the National Risk Register assesses near-term risks to the United Kingdom, and why we can be so confident that two properly shuffled packs of cards have never, ever been in the exact same order.
Drawing on a wide range of captivating real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty while also having the humility to admit what we do not know
The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present. In The Making of the Modern Middle East he offers a gripping and invaluable guide, showing how it came to be and what its future might hold.
In part based on his acclaimed podcast, 'Our Man in the Middle East', Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, and their leaders, whether brutal or benign. He explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
Clear throughout is Bowen's deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan's Turkey, Netanyahu's Israel and Palestine, whether Hamas-controlled Gaza or the West Bank. His long experience of covering events in the region make this an extraordinarily powerful account of one of the world's greatest problems.

On Thin Ice
I have one shot to build a better life—not just for me, but for my little brother still stuck in the dump I escaped from. Now that I’ve gotten to Sovereign Kings University, I have to make it worth it. Keep my head down, ignore the rich kids, and graduate.
At least that was my plan before I busted a hockey player’s knee and became public enemy number one. Now the team’s golden boy captain, Alexander, leads the charge against me. Kane, the brooding defenseman never misses a chance to humiliate me. Yet, being painfully ignored by Mountain, the reserved giant of a goalie, may just hurt the most.
Beneath their hostility I find sparks of desire and unexpected depth, but can I risk losing my heart to one hockey player—let alone all three? I’m certainly in for a long, hard season.
