A Philosopher Looks at the Weather
From barometers to the famous BBC shipping forecast, we have – over the centuries – developed the means to predict, harness, and shield ourselves from what is happening in the atmosphere. Attitudes about the planet's weather, as well as about human identity, have thereby taken on new meanings. In an era of climatic anxiety, what weather is and how weather behaves have taken on additional currency. Benjamin Hale weaves together philosophy and anecdote into a many-faceted exploration of this powerful force that shapes who we are and how we think about our place in the world. He argues that in our drive to 'scientize' weather, with all the technological advances in managing, anticipating, and understanding it, we also risk distancing ourselves from weather and losing a complete sense of what it is. This entertaining book reminds us that the weather is and always will be in some sense outside our control, and that consequently we are and forever will be learning to live alongside it.
The Secret Lives of Murderers Wives
You ve heard of the men who kill, but what about the women who loved them?
It s a baking hot summer in 1960s California and three women have formed an unlikely friendship. From the outside, Beverley, Elsie and Margot lead idyllic lives, but behind the false smiles and glittering pools lies the truth: their husbands are some of the country s most notorious convicted killers.
Amidst neighbourhood gossip and pointed fingers, the women are fighting to forge new paths for themselves. Wide-eyed Beverley is raising two young children under the long shadow of their father s crimes.
Bookish Elsie is determined to make a name for herself in the patriarchal newsroom, while Hollywood party-girl Margot has a penchant for an early morning margarita anything to quieten the shame of her ex-husband s deceit.
But when a string of local killings hits the news, the women underestimated and overlooked are hurled into an investigation of their own. After all, who better to catch a killer than those who have shared their lives with one?
The Language of Lies
How can you tell if someone is lying to you? Is it possible to separate the truth from lies in what people say? And when should you trust what you hear? Everyone lies. We lie to our family, friends, colleagues and strangers. But some lies are extremely damaging.
They can destroy relationships, ruin lives and create distrust and discord. These lies need to be detected. And they can be, if we know how to listen out for them.
Forensic linguist Dr. Kirsty King knows that, as convincing as some liars might be, their lies can be exposed by paying close attention to the language they use. It is possible for us to detect whether someone is being deceptive by listening out for key linguistic indicators in the way that they speak and the things that they say. Drawing on research from forensic linguistics and psychology, this book presents real-life case studies and stories to show you how language can reveal the liars amongst us: from partners or colleagues misleading us to killers trying to get away with murder.
New Boy
Arriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomat’s son Osei knows he needs an ally. Luckily he hits it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can’t stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players – teachers and pupils alike – will never be the same again.
The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard in this powerful drama of alienation, adolescence and friends torn apart.
Vinegar Girl
Kate Battista is stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and infuriating younger sister Bunny? Dr. Battista has other problems. His brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, his new scientific breakthrough will fall through...
When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Will Kate be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round?
Anne Tyler's brilliant retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as surprising as Kate herself.

Paradise Garden
A tizennégy éves Billie ritkán hagyja el a külvárosi lakótelepet, ahol édesanyjával, Marikával él. Pénzük a hónap végére legfeljebb ketchupos tésztára elég, napjaik mégis tele vannak örömmel és varázslattal. Egy nap azonban váratlan vendég érkezik hozzájuk, Billie magyar nagymamája, és a lány hamarosan sokkal többet veszít, mint az anyjával töltött színes hétköznapokat.
Mivel több kérdést már nem tehet föl Marikának, Billie egyedül indul el öreg Nissanjukkal, hogy megkeresse az édesapját, és kiderítse, miért álmodik mindig a tengerről, ha még sosem járt ott.
Elena Fischer 1987-ben született, összehasonlító irodalomtudományt tanult Mainzban, ahol családjával él. Ez az első regénye. A Paradise Garden hatalmas sikert aratott egész Európában, és felkerült a Német Könyvdíjra jelölt művek hosszú listájára is.
A megtorlás játéka - Hades 2.
Hades, a holtak istene nem áll senki oldalára, és nem szegi meg a szabályokat. Elveiben nincs kivétel - sem isten, sem halandó, de még a szeretője, Persephone, a tavasz istennője kedvéért sem.
A félelem általában elejét veszi a megtorlásnak. De most nem elég. Amikor Hera, a nők istennője felajánlja Hadesnak a lehetőséget, hogy segítsen neki megbuktatni Zeust, ő nemet mond. Hera azonban
nem viseli jól az elutasítást: büntetésből próbák sorozatára ítéli a holtak istenét.
Mitikus szörnyetegek lemészárlása és halálos ereklyék visszaszerzése - minden egyes próbatétel lehetetlenebbnek tűnik az előzőnél, és egyre inkább elvonja Hades figyelmét Persephonéról.
Csakhogy a tavasz istennője is saját tragédiájával küzd, amely megingatja abban a hitében, hogy lehet-e egyáltalán az Alvilág királynője.

Girl, Swooning
swoon/sw? /verb1. faint, especially from extreme emotion. 'The girl swooned and had to lie down'2. be overcome with adoration, or other strong emotion. 'She was swooning over Him'Etymology traces to the Old English word 'geswogen', meaning 'overcome'On the eve of her wedding, a young woman wrestles with transitions: from adolescence to adulthood, from longing to holding, from womb to birth, from life to death, from darkness to enlightenment, from waking to dreaming, from love to grief. There is only one choice: death or change. In 2023 Imogen Wade won the National Poetry Prize with her poem 'The Time I Was Mugged in New York City', gaining her a wide audience. Her stunning debut , Girl, Swooning, is a startlingly fresh collection about womanhood, love, death and religious experience.

A Nature Poem for Every Day of the Year
A classic Batsford poetry collection, now reissued with a stunning new cover. A Nature Poem for Every Day of the Year is a glorious collection of 366 poems that celebrate nature and the changing seasons. It is the perfect morning companion for any nature or poetry enthusiast, featuring famous odes from big-name poets alongside unsung poems from less well-known writers. Each poem is chosen to chime with the natural world through the seasons. Spring is a time of hope, a season of new life accompanied by William Wordsworth’s famous daffodils, John Clare’s lambs and Christina Rossetti’s birdsong. Summer shifts into a time of leisure, with long, idyllic holidays in the countryside: according to Henry James, the two most beautiful words in the English Language were ‘summer afternoon’, a sentiment echoed by Edward Thomas and Emily Dickinson. John Keats, William Blake and W. H. Auden are the poets we associate with autumn, with the natural world, and the human one, holding onto the last lingering memories of summer before they turn to face the oncoming hardships of winter. Amy Lowell and George Meredith perfectly frame this time of year, with their silver-fringed leaves and crimson berries. Winter can be savoured in poetry, rather than endured; bleak grey days are transformed into a world of glittering frost and snow-blanketed landscapes. Even in the darkest days life continues, and soon we can turn our attention to the rebirth of spring. A wonderful collection of poems that help mark the daily turn of the seasons and all the rituals marking the significant moments of the year, from Candlemas to Christmas.
