Nevěsta z Dračího dvora
SMRT, NEBO MANŽELSTVÍ.
A POMSTA, KTERÁ JÍ MŮŽE ZLOMIT SRDCE…
Wren, princezna z Dračího dvora, se v životě drží tří neotřesitelných zásad: neukazuj slabost, odváděj tribut a nikdy nevěř elfům. Když je princeznina země v předvečer její svatby napadena, musí Wren bojovat. Místo očekávaného vítězství však padne do zajetí a je předvedena před elfího krále, který jí nabídne osudovou volbu: smrt, nebo manželství. Wren se podvolí, ale jen proto, aby získala čas. Plánuje, špehuje a čeká na příležitost zasadit ránu, která jí vrátí rodový trůn. Jenže čím déle setrvává po boku svého nebezpečného a znepokojivě přitažlivého manžela, tím víc se její jistoty začínají drolit. Na drsných Dračích ostrovech přežijí jen nejsilnější a Wren si nemůže dovolit zaváhat. Poslední volba bude krutá a neodvratná: zasadit úder jako první – nebo dát v sázku vlastní srdce.

The Coastal Garden
Explore the world’s most stunning coastlines in this breathtaking collection of gardens by the sea
Creating gardens in harmony with their environment is a key aspect of garden design today. Nowhere is this more apparent than in gardens created on our coastlines, whether that be atop a rocky Mediterranean cliffside, tucked in a sheltered bay on Britain’s south coast, or on the edge of a sandy beach in Australia. Rooted in their location and offering unforgettable water views, coastal gardens embody an atmosphere of tranquillity, beauty, and an intenseconnection with nature.
The Coastal Garden invites readers to explore 48 extraordinary private gardens set along the world’s most iconic coastlines. These verdant spaces represent a broad variety of terrains, climates, and garden styles – from Bernard Trainor’s design for a surfing family, overlooking the waves in sunny California, to Ulf Nordfjell’s thoughtful, rambling garden on the southern coast of Sweden.
The gardens address one of four different contexts for coastal environments: gardens atop rocky cliffs, planting for resiliency, framing ocean views, and gardens on the beach. The four chapters open with an exploratory text on the theme by writer and editor Sorrel Everton. Each garden feature is then brought to life through striking, large-scale color photographs and a short informative text, also written by Everton. Descriptive image captions provide further context, including planting information and special design details.
Along with in-depth garden features, an introduction by acclaimed plantsman and designer Nigel Dunnett offers insights into both the natural obstacles and incredible benefits of coastal gardens. A garden directory at the back, organized geographically, allows for easy reference.
Beautifully produced and filled with inspiration, The Coastal Garden will transport home gardeners, professional designers, and armchair travelers to these exceptional green spaces overlooking our oceans and seas.
Featured garden designers include: Paul Bangay, Louis Benech, Isabel Duprat, Jennifer Gay, Daniel Hinkley, Phillip Johnson, Raymond Jungles, Ron Lutsko, Jean Mus, Watson + Pellacini, Rees Roberts + Partners, and STIMSON
Featured garden photographers include : Heidi Bertish, Richard Bloom, Jason Ingram, Marianne Majerus, Clive Nichols, and Claire Takacs
Love’s Labour
‘The poet laureate of human emotion’ ELIZABETH DAY‘Left me feeling wiser and more open to life’ OLIVER BURKEMAN‘A work of genius’ INDIA KNIGHTChange the way you think about love.When it comes to relationships, why do we find things so difficult? Drawing on more than forty years of candid and surprising conversations with his patients, psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz shows us how we can be better at love.In the intimate space of the consulting room, we meet the woman who can’t post her wedding invitations but then, decades later, can’t decide whether to get divorced; the ex-nun whose unconscious fear of pregnancy drove her into the convent; and the friendship group that explodes when an adulterous affair begins. Compelling, revealing and full of wisdom, Love’s Labour shows us that only when we see ourselves and our world clearly are we truly ready to love one another.‘Powerful and compelling’GUARDIAN‘This is a beautiful book’ NIGELLA LAWSON‘This man could save your marriage’ SUNDAY TIMES
The New Dark Ages
The world we knew is passing away and nothing will ever be the same again.
Welcome to the post-literate society. Books are dying. Across the world the number of people reading is in free fall. Literacy is declining or stagnating in most developed countries. At universities, students are unable to read the books assigned to them. Addictive digital entertainment technologies have colonised our free time with infantilising ‘slop’. For the first time since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire ushered in the Dark Ages, the golden chain of knowledge linking reader to reader through the centuries is breaking. The decline in reading is the most important cultural shift of our time.The New Dark Ages is an impassioned defence of the written word and an attack on the trivial and meaningless culture of the screen. Drawing on history and classic works of literature and theory, The New Dark Ages argues that reading and writing are essential for innovation, creativity and critical thinking.Above all, the culture of print is essential to the functioning of modern democracies which require their citizens to grapple with ideas at length and in depth. And as print dies, we risk returning to the chaos, tribalism, and rage of a pre-literate society.

The World Beneath Our Feet
'Thrilling and delightful' - George Monbiot'Vital, brilliant, wholly absorbing... A masterpiece of science writing' - Isabella treeTo appreciate the wonders of the world around us, we're often told to look up. But what if we need to look down instead?Everything that happens below ground sustains all life above it - yet we rarely think about this mysterious, dark underland. In The World Beneath Our Feet soil ecologist Frank Ashwood scratches the surface and takes us on an eye-opening safari through this precious ecosystem, from the ancient forests of New Zealand to the vast black soil deposits of the US and China. Every layer of the pedosphere is a world of its own, each more alien than the last as we travel deeper into the Earth.The ground beneath our feet hums with a staggering abundance of winding roots, interconnecting fungal networks, wriggling creatures and mind-blowing microbial life. This hidden ecosystem is the single most biodiverse habitat on the planet. Half of all our species exist underfoot, and just a handful of soil can contain an entire world. Without soil, there would be no life as we know it.In a story of connection and communication, we meet pioneering plants and minute animals that are essential to the health and wellbeing of our planet. We learn how soil makes our very existence possible, allowing us to cultivate crops as well as storing precious carbon and the water we need to survive. We marvel at soil as the Earth's fertiliser and one the building blocks of evolution, transforming decaying matter into the birthplace of new life.The World Beneath Our Feet opens our eyes to the hidden, wondrous world of soil and invites us all to play a part in protecting it for future generations.
