The Queen's Painter
'I am in awe of Wendy Holden' Heather MorrisIn her dazzling new novel, No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller Wendy Holden presents a new take on the Anne Boleyn story. The Queen's Painter traces her stellar rise and tragic fall as seen by Tudor court artist Hans Holbein. Close friend of the ill-fated queen, did he use his genius in a stunning act of reveng? hen the brilliant young Holbein arrives at the Tudor court, Anne Boleyn is among his first patrons. As she rises to the top, Hans rises with her. Courtiers clamour for his portraits of life-like accuracy; pictures which tell the truth about their subjects. When his beloved Anne is beheaded on false evidence, Hans is heartbroken and enraged. And he's not alone. Poet and diplomat Thomas Wyatt is agonised at his own unwitting part in her tragedy. He and Hans join forces and vow revenge on the person they blame for Anne's downfall: Thomas Cromwell, the king's ruthless chief minister. But what can a poet and painter do against the most powerful man in England? The answer comes when Henry VIII seeks a fourth wife. Cromwell turns to Holbein and Wyatt, his trusted artist and envoy, to travel across Europe to find and paint a new bride. Cromwell's position depends on a portrait of someone young and beautiful, painted with Hans' trademark truth. Anything less could bring the whole court crashing down. It's the opportunity they've been waiting for...

Hearthspace
Thousands of years ago, a massive colony ship arrived at the Hearth - the celestial birthplace of millions of planets, ranging from habitable earth-like worlds to unimaginable hellscapes of pressure and heat. Using lightsails to navigate, humanity has spread itself across dozens of these worlds. But they have also forgotten their beginnings, where they came from... and a terrible secret is about to be unveiled. For Commander Ulla Breen, on her first tour of duty aboard a patrol sail-ship, the universe is about to change around her. Attacked by an unknown and unthought-of enemy, she and her fellow crewmembers will face slavery, punishment and death - and so will their home planets. Because someone else has seen the richness of the inner Hearth, and plans to take it for themselves. A new enemy, but one who seems disturbingly familiar. And perhaps knows more about the history of the Hearth than even Ulla and her crew. Faced with a complete upheaval of all she thought she knew, Ulla must survive long enough to come up with a plan - one which will unite all the disparate elements of the Hearth, and perhaps discover the reason why humanity came to Hearthspace in the first place . . .

US Liberty Ship vs German Surface Raider
Fully illustrated, this study examines World War II's most dramatic single-ship action, in which Stephen Hopkins fought a heavily armed German auxiliary cruiser, Stier. When the United States entered World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic was already raging. The so-called ‘Liberty Ships’, built at breakneck speed and in huge numbers during 1941–45, were crucial to the Allied war effort. While the greatest successes of Germany’s auxiliary cruisers occurred in 1939–41, this book describes how one of these ingenious warships, Stier, confronted the Liberty Ship Stephen Hopkins in an epic single-ship duel on September 27, 1942. Stephen Hopkins carried one 4in gun, two 37mm cannon and six machine guns, all primarily intended for antisubmarine and antiaircraft purposes. Stier had six 150mm, one 75mm, one twin 37mm, four single 20mm and four 533mm torpedo tubes. At the end of this grossly uneven fight, Stier had sunk Stephen Hopkins, but was so badly damaged it had to be scuttled. While this battle has garnered much attention, Mark Lardas explores other clashes between the German surface raiders and their Liberty Ship quarry during 1942. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and mapping alongside archive photographs, this lively study investigates the important role both ship types played as the Battle of the Atlantic reached its climax.
Talking in Bed
The essential pocket edition of this most beloved and quoted of poets. Our almost-instinct almost true:What will survive of us is love. In lines perfectly constructed and as beautiful as they are plain-spoken, Philip Larkin found a way of delineating our most difficult emotions - giving them back to us in images and formulations that help us both comprehend and contain ourselves. His is a fine-tuning that turns 'true and kind' more truthfully into 'not untrue and not unkind.' These are poems to live with and through, from the trenchant assertion of 'They fuck you up. . .', to the transcendent image-making of 'High Windows':Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:The sun-comprehending glass,And beyond it, the deep blue air, that showsNothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

Awakening the Pineal Gland
Techniques to awaken the pineal gland for health, mental clarity, and longevity• Introduces the scientifically validated method of pineal gland activation, which promotes cellular rebirth, decreases aging, and improves well-being• Explores the impact of light, sound, and nutraceuticals on pineal functioning, looking at concepts like photobiomodulation and the role of lutein in human eyes• Draws upon ancient Egyptian and Sumerian knowledge of light and the eye, including the ability to harness the healing powers of sunlightThe pineal gland, a part of the endocrine system, is less than a centimeter long. Yet this tiny organ in the brain plays an outsized role in many spiritual traditions as it is widely connected with the esoteric concept of the third eye. Ophthalmologist Roberto Pinelli explains, in an engaging personal narrative style, his unique methods for using a combination of light, sound, and nutraceuticals to non-invasively activate the pineal gland to promote cellular rejuvenation, decrease aging, and improve overall well-being. Supported by case studies and peer-reviewed research, Pinelli’s method centers on using photons to convey vibrational energy through the eyes to target areas of the body. He shows the potent effects this has on mental health as it can improve memory, mental clarity, and self-awareness. His techniques also have positive effects on the body such as helping to heal degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson’s. Pinelli explores Egyptian, Sumerian, and Aztec understandings of the sun and its life-giving rays, looking at how ancient knowledge has been corroborated by contemporary scientific findings. The author details how the pineal gland functions, particularly its role in melatonin regulation. He also offers methods to reduce pineal calcification and regenerate overall physical and emotional health. Awakening the Pineal Gland is a unique fusion of ancient and modern science that offers readers a practical guide on using light as a medicine to activate their higher nature.
Spomienka na Rudolfa Steinera
Antropozofická lekárka Ita Wegmanová v sebe dlho nosila zámer zostaviť svoje spomienky na Rudolfa Steinera z posledného obdobia jeho života – vrcholu vzostupu antropozofie. Počas života Rudolfa Steinera si len zriedka zaznamenávala svoje zážitky zo stretnutí s ním – alebo sa tieto vôbec nezachovali. Mnohé naznačuje, že Ita Wegmanová nevidela potrebu písomného záznamu svojich zážitkov a prežitých skúseností a chránila to, čo bolo vzácne, tým, že to nezaznamenávala. Formovala svoje neskoršie pamätné prejavy z hlbín svojich vnútorných spomienok – zdieľala to, čo považovala za prístupné a vhodné zdieľať. Veľa z toho videla na vlastné oči, vrátane osobných rozhovorov. Wegmanová sa však nakoniec rozhodla proti publikovaniu. Medzi jej dokumentmi sa našli dôležité poznámky, zápisy zo zápisníkov a rukopisy prednášok.
V tejto súvislosti bolo jasným rozhodnutím publikovať niektoré z jej spomienok na Rudolfa Steinera z rukopisov poznámkovej knihy pri príležitosti 66. výročia úmrtia Ity Wegmanovej, ako aj opäť sprístupniť rôzne eseje a články, ktoré napísala krátko po smrti svojho učiteľa – v obavách o budúcnosť Antropozofickej spoločnosti a v snahe zachovať centrum antropozofie, jej tvorcu, jeho dielo a jeho zámery. Kniha v slovenskom preklade vychádza k 100. výročiu úmrtia Rudolfa Steinera.

The First Act of Summer
From the Costa-shortlisted, beloved author of All My Mothers, Joanna Glen Is it ever too late to figure out who you were meant to be? As children, Hester and Elias were inseparable. Every year, their families would spend the summer together at their beach huts on a wild and windswept sandbank, where the two of them never left each other’s side.

For her 60th birthday, Hester goes back to her family’s beach hut to hide from the husband she wants to leave and the daughters she’s never fully understood. It is here that she finally faces up to what she did that fateful summer, wondering whether it’s ever too late to become the person you were meant to be. And if there’s still a chance of finding Elias again… From the Costa-shortlisted author of The Other Half of Augusta Hope, All My Mothers and Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly, this is a raw and sweeping novel about the power of a dark secret, the resilience of love and the possibility of redemption.
Divide and Rule
Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. Saints or sinners? Perfect princesses or difficult duchesses? Monarchy’s saviours or its destroyers? They rank among the world’s most famous women – and the most misunderstood. Throughout history, royal women have been sanitised and sanctified by supporters, distorted and demonised by critics, pitted against each other, and misrepresented by the media. In this extraordinary portrait, journalist Catherine Mayer examines the lives of the central players, and the echoes and parallels that have run throughout history. The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan uncovered by Catherine Mayer are far more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths. Divide and Rule reveals these extraordinary women in all their complexity, charting their achievements, quirks, kindnesses, cruelties and profound influence. Drawing on key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, this book also demonstrates the ways in which history repeats itself – to the detriment not only of royal women but all of us.
