Did I Mention I Love You? (The DIMILY Series)


When sixteen-year-old Eden Munro agrees to spend the summer with her estranged father in the beachfront city of Santa Monica, California, she has no idea what she's letting herself in for. Eden's parents are divorced and have gone their separate ways, and now her father has a brand new family. For Eden, this means she's about to meet three new step-brothers. The eldest of the three is Tyler Bruce, a troubled teenager with a short temper and a huge ego: Eden's complete polar opposite. Eden quickly finds herself thrust into a world full of new experiences as Tyler's group of friends take her under their wing. But the more she tries to figure Tyler out, the more she finds herself falling for him. How can Eden keep her feelings under control? And can she ever work out the truth about Tyler?

The story of the World Cup is also the story of the world; this book tells its definitive history.

Vnútri Zeme


Pod povrchom Zeme sa ukrýva civilizácia, ktorá nemala byť nikdy objavená. Keď vedec Johann narazí na technológiu presahujúcu hranice ľudského poznania, stáva sa terčom síl ochotných zabíjať, aby si zachovali kontrolu. Po boku záhadnej Aury – ženy spojenej s mocou, ktorá presahuje chápanie moderného sveta – sa Johann ocitá medzi dvoma realitami: medzi chladnou logikou kyborgov a hlbokou silou civilizácie, ktorá spája vedu s vedomím. V srdci konfliktu stojí kryštálová pyramída a rozhodnutie, ktoré môže navždy zmeniť osud ľudstva. Vnútri Zeme je napínavý sci-fi triler o hraniciach vedy, o pokušeniu moci a o tom, čo sa stane, keď človek zistí, že svet je oveľa väčší – a nebezpečnejší – než si kedy dokázal predstaviť. Otázka neznie, či sa tajomstvo odhalí. Otázka znie: kto ho prežije.

Forged in War


A masterful history of how war and insecurity, both real and perceived, have driven Russia’s destiny for centuries, including the disastrous invasion of Ukraine. Putin retains his stranglehold on his position in Russia despite an almost ruinous invasion of Ukraine. The answer as to how and why can be found in Russian history. With no naturally defensible borders, and environmental factors constraining its economy, Russia has been pitched against the pre-eminent military powers of the age across the centuries, and often at a technological disadvantage. To respond to these challenges, it has had to sit heavily on the backs of its people, and so war – and the need to be able to fight it – has shaped its evolution, from tsars to commissars and presidents. The national identity has been forged in the furnace of war. From the medieval kingdom of Rus battling against a Scandinavian princes and Mongol emperors, to its own empire-building conflicts in 19th-century Asia, to the formative wars of the 20th century which saw Russia pitch from Tsarist empire to communist state and defender against Nazism, all these conflicts stained the lands of Russia red with blood. A weak post-Cold War Russia then turned to Putin, who created a new mood for martial triumphalism which led directly to the Ukrainian war. Packed with contemporary accounts, Forged in War strips away the myth to give an insider’s view on Russia’s past and present.
