Yellow September
"Multiple narrators add depth and texture to an engaging tale of loss and resilience." —Kirkus Indie ReviewsIn a heartwarming story of love, loss, and perseverance, debut author Shannon Terry Wiley chronicles the experiences of those in Shreveport, Louisiana, during the September 1873 outbreak of yellow fever, which ultimately killed over a thousand individuals. Weaving together fictional storylines and real history, Wiley paints a vivid picture of the unspeakable tragedy and the people who lived through it. Through multiple points of view, Yellow September narrates the fortunes of those in the fever-wracked town. Two brothers, George and Eugene, find themselves far from their Midwestern roots while working for the Army Corps of Engineers. Sent to battle a massive logjam blocking the Red River, the pair find themselves grappling with two very different commitments. Meanwhile, Katherine, a farm girl living along the Silver Bayou with her family, who are still grieving the wartime death of her father, faces a difficult choice with consequences that echo throughout her life. Others, like Dr. Dalzell, a pastor and doctor in town, and Eleanor and David, parents fleeing the fever, bring a nuanced perspective to the experiences of those swept up in the outbreak. With epistolary touches throughout, the novel is a testament to the enduring love of family—those we are born with and those we choose—and tells a profound story of duty, devotion, and community.

RHS Wildlife of a Garden
"One of the great heroines of wildlife gardening" Dave Goulson Foreword by Chris Packham First published in 2010 by the RHS, Jennifer Owen's book remains the most complete record of the creatures to be found in an ordinary garden. The groundbreaking research, in which Owen recorded every plant and animal in her suburban Leicester garden, will never be exceeded. This was no wildlife garden - the term barely existed when Owen started recording in 1972. Hers was a standard family garden in suburban Leicester. In this unique long-term study she recorded 2,673 species, from plants to insects, birds to mammals. She discusses diversity, abundance and annual fluctuations and relates these to weather, changes in surrounding land use and other ecological factors. Wildlife she monitored included butterflies, moths, beetles, hoverflies (Owen's specialist area), bees, wasps, ants, dragonflies, sawflies, bugs, spiders, lacewings, grasshoppers, molluscs and earthworms, as well as plants, mammals and birds. She also outlines the natural history of each group. Researchers in ecology, conservation, environmental sciences, environmental horticulture and entomology as well as professionals in urban planning will find this book invaluable. It is also a captivating read for amateur naturalists and anyone with an interest in garden wildlife. Dr Jennifer Owen (1936-2015) was an ecologist and zoologist. It was while working in Africa in the 1960s that she noticed her garden had more wildlife than the neighbouring rainforest, due to its mix of habitats. This prompted her, on return to the UK and a post at Leicester University in 1971, to begin the remarkable study that was to occupy her next 30 years.

Sok ördögök
„– Csak egy pillanatra láttam. Pár másodpercig. Egy olyan nyolcvan év körüli nő lehetett, talán öregebb. Derékig érő, hosszú, ősz haja volt és anyaszült meztelenül állt az úttesten. Somlyói felnézett a jegyzetelésből.
– Micsoda?
– Mondtam, hogy hülyének fog nézni. Márpedig teljesen pucéran mászkált ott. Egy sovány, inas asszony volt, a haja így lebegett körülötte – mondta, miközben a levegőt legyezgetve próbálta demonstrálni. Somlyói elismerően bólintott, értékelte az igyekezetet.
– És látta már korábban azt a nőt?
Tamás megrázta fejét.”
„De ki engedheti meg magának, hogy szabadon érezhessen akármit, ha figyelő szemek követik mindenhová? Hogy érezhet szabadon az ember egy kicsi településen? Szabályok kötik az embereket, megszólják azt, akinek a viselkedése nem konform, ezért mélyre szorítjuk dühünket, ami kelepcébe zárva viszont egyre csak rothad és növekszik bennünk. És aztán szemmel verünk, rosszat kívánunk, ütünk, gázolunk, ártunk. Felborítják bennünk az egyensúlyt a sok ördögök, nem látjuk tőlük, hol a határ, s ha nem tudunk mit kezdeni szorító érzelmeinkkel, kiszabadulnak, megtörténik velünk a legrosszabbtól is rosszabb.”
„Mennyire hétköznapi is az indulat elszabadulása, s abból mégis mennyire rendhagyó tragédiák tudnak kibontakozni.”

Lightfall - Fényhullás (Öröklétfölde 1.)
A vér nemcsak táplálék, hanem maga a hatalom.
Évszázadokon át vámpírok uralták a világot, mígnem a Szürkék váratlanul felbukkantak a semmiből, és egyetlen éjszaka alatt kiirtották a népesség felét. A túlélők az utolsó vámpírvárosba, Előfénybe menekültek, ahol egyszerű szabályok szerint élték tovább az életüket. A szegények csak gyenge vért fogyaszthattak. A nemesek a legjobbat kapták. És soha, semmilyen körülmények között nem hagyhatták el a várost.
Sam a palotában szolgál, elege van a szabályokból és az Urakból, akiknek éjjeliedényét súrolja. Amikor a város Elöljáró Urának át meggyilkolják, és Sam rábukkan az ezzel kapcsolatos egyetlen nyomra, megragadja a lehetőséget, hogy zsarolással feljebb kerüljön a társadalmi ranglétrán, és így jobb vérhez jusson. Beáll a Vérszívók csoportjába, ahol lázadó szobalányok szövetkeznek a legkegyetlenebb Urak ellen. Hamarosan szövetséget köt egy varázslóval, akinek éles elméje pótolja mágikus hiányosságait, valamint egy halálos vérfarkas bérgyilkossal és egy grófnővel, aki az egész város titkait ismeri.
Csupán egyetlen gond van. Ami egyszerű gyilkossági nyomozásnak indult, felfedte az uralkodó osztály körében húzódó sűrű összeesküvés hálóját. Samnek ki kell derítenie az igazságot, mielőtt ő maga is áldozattá válik. Ha el tudja kerülni a halált, akkor talán örökké élhet.

Kipurcant kedvencek – Rex Dexter nyomoz: Kísért a narvál
Rex Dexter eszes... Valamint ördögien jóképű. Ám mindezekkel együtt átkozott is: kipurcant állatok bukkannak fel a szobájában, és azt követelik tőle, hogy derítsék ki, mi történhetett velük.
Miután sikeresen megoldott jó néhány, veszélyeztetett állatokat érintő esetet, Rex majdnem biztos benne, hogy megszabadult tőlük. Ám ekkor egy közel egytonnás narvált talál a babzsákfoteljében elterülve. Mert ez a komoly külsejű fickó halott. És emiatt rendkívül morcos.
A hal(áli) ügyek tehát folyamatban vannak. És ha mindez nem lenne elég, Rex anyukájának új, megterhelő munkája lett. Az egyik tanárnője pedig feltehetően egy orosz bérgyilkosszervezet tagja. Eközben a legjobb barátja, Darvish figyelmét egy szerepjáték vonja el. És, minő borzalom, úgy tűnik, Rexnek akadt egy barátnője...

Svádění panny
Narodil se, aby se stal rytířem. Já jsem urozená dáma. Jsme dokonalý pár – jenže osud má jiné plány…
MARIANA
Nejkrásnější panna v zemi? Raději bych byla známá jako nejlepší šermířka nebo jezdkyně. Na druhou stranu má nesporné výhody udržet své schopnosti v tajnosti – stejně jako vzácné dědictví měňavky. Obzvlášť teď, když musím přelstít nejkrutějšího a nejnemilosrdnějšího muže na světě. Kvůli tomu se vydávám do nejbezprávnějšího kouta země s nadějí, že najdu Robina Hooda. Ale když se z útočiště, na které jsem spoléhala, vyklube zrada, nacházím nepravděpodobného spojence v nejpřitažlivějším mnichovi široko daleko…
TUCK
Jako třetí syn venkovského šlechtice jsem neměl na výběr a musel jsem vstoupit do kláštera. Jíst, modlit se, a znova to opakovat – taková byla má budoucnost, a upřímně, nebyla nic moc. Za pár dní mám složit sliby a učinit to oficiálním. Já, lví měňavec, mám žít v chudobě, poslušnosti a cudnosti? Život se stane zajímavějším, když začnu pomáhat Robynne Hoodové… a pořádně nabere obrátky, když do našeho kláštera přijde krásná a tajemná šlechtična hledající útočiště. Jsem její jedinou nadějí, ale získat šťastný konec by chtělo zázrak. Budu se muset spokojit s tím, že ji ochráním před chamtivými a bezohlednými měňavci, kteří plánují svrhnout monarchii – pokud mi to vůbec dovolí. Přesto jsem byl vždycky snílek a nejsem připraven vzdát se naděje, lásky ani šance naplnit svůj pravý osud.
