The Kennedys and the Windsors
The story of two iconic dynasties-the Kennedys and the Windsors-whose glamour and ambition defined an era. Reveals never-before examined stories about Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Diana, Prince Harry, JFK, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr., and many others.
For fans of The Crown and Disney+ new Ryan Murphy limited series Love Story.
For nearly a century, two families have captured the world's collective imagination: the Windsors and the Kennedys. Much has been written about their individual trysts, tragedies, and triumphs over the years, but no one has examined their intertwined legacies. Until now.
The Kennedys and the Windsors unearths the shared story of these two families, drawing out some startling parallels between them: the style icons Princess Diana and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who both tragically died young, the frustrated "second sisters" Princess Margaret and Lee Radziwill, the scandal-plagued next generation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, and the current generation's struggles to figure out what a monarchy - actual or imagined - means in the twenty-first century.
From Queen Elizabeth's coronation to President Kennedy's historic London visit, JFK Jr.'s shocking death to Prince Harry's decisive break with his family, Caroline Hallemann traces the key moments in the lives of these dynasties through a fresh and fascinating lens, showing how they have intersected over the generations in ways that not only shaped their images, but history itself.
Natures Echo
Nature wants to heal, and we can help.
When Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance?
As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work in isolation, but how complex ecosystems regulate themselves. When nature's cycles are allowed to build momentum, each species can create the conditions to allow others to thrive. From the birth of galaxies to the creation of life, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops.
Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, gripping personal narrative and initiatives already happening around the world, Nature's Echo shows how natural feedback loops have astonishing power to rebound, even with minor intervention. If we can only realize how integral we are to this highly interconnected natural world, we will re-discover the path to a better future.
Humans
Humans - who are we?
Physically, Homo sapiens is unremarkable in the animal world - a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste. Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it.
This book is:
shaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Roberts
written by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science
built from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topic
This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits - and their ability to teach one another skills - to create ever-more sophisticated technology.
Visually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists.
Humans asks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature. When did we invent clothes? Did we always form pair bonds? How did prehistoric people cross the ocean? Are we the only animals to become self-aware?
Find out who we are, where we come from, and perhaps - where we're going.

The Straight Eight Engine
The straight eight engine, also known as the inline eight engine, was the driving force behind some of the most fascinating luxury vehicles of the first half of the twentieth century. From its introduction in the 1920s through its demise in the 1950s, the straight eight graced a number of upmarket vehicles from makers like Pontiac, Packard, and Daimler, and even appeared under the hood of the hyper-exclusive Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, of which only eighteen models were produced. Although it was eventually replaced by the V8 engine, the straight eight engine can be found in some of the most valuable and sought-after vehicles of all time. Keith Ray's The Straight Eight Engine is the first volume to be published about this extraordinary mechanism. Featuring four hundred images, the book is a lush tribute to an automotive component likely to never be equaled for smoothness and refinement.
Aftertaste
Kostya is haunted. Still reeling from the loss of his father, he's working as a dishwasher when he discovers something extraordinary. The tastes that have flooded his mouth without warning since childhood - thin-skinned dumplings bursting with lightly sugared sour cherries - are being sent by spirits seeking closure and, by cooking their food, Kostya can bring them back for one last meal to find it.
Maura is moonlighting as a psychic when a man with curious talents enters her booth. She's the only one who understands what Kostya is really capable of - as well as the consequences of messing with the afterlife. And as Kostya and Maura fall deeply, irresistibly in love, the line between supporting his dreams and keeping her own ghosts at bay begins to blur.
While Kostya and his best friend, Frankie, work towards opening a New York restaurant with a unique menu and unprecedented clientele, Maura senses a supernatural catastrophe looming that could see them losing everything…
Incorruptible
The most radical and powerful idea in business isn't disruption… it's integrity.
The Lean Startup transformed how a generation of entrepreneurs build products and sparked a global movement for smarter, faster innovation. Now Eric Ries takes the next step, asking a deeper question: how can we build companies that stay true to their mission once they succeed?
In Incorruptible, Ries reveals the hidden forces that cause even great organizations to drift from their values and shows how to design businesses that can withstand that pressure. Drawing on two decades of work with founders, CEOs, and investors around the world, offers the blueprint for "mission-locked" organizations that can grow, prosper, and endure without losing their soul.
Including wide-ranging examples such as Cadbury, John Lewis Partnership, Vanguard and Anthropic, Incorruptible uncovers the urgent need for purpose-driven leadership. It gives every builder, founder, executive, investor or citizen the tools to create enterprises that uplift rather than exploit.
We all have a role to play in shaping a better future. This book is the place to start.
The Traveller
'Andrea Wulf belongs to the small, splendid canon of writers unafraid to render fact with feeling' Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian and author of Figuring
An inspiring biography of the remarkable naturalist, explorer and revolutionary, by the bestselling author of The Invention of Nature
George Forster was a man out of time: he journeyed to the far reaches of the known world and challenged the worldviews of eighteenth-century Europe with radical ideas about equality and freedom. Celebrated during his lifetime, he knew Goethe, Benjamin Franklin, Mary Wollstonecraft and Alexander von Humboldt but has since been largely forgotten by history.
The Traveller seeks to restore Forster as one of the great visionaries of his era. At the age of seventeen he joined Captain Cook's second voyage - an exploration of vast contrasts from the icy world of Antarctica to the tropical islands of the South Pacific. A brilliant mind driven by boundless curiosity, he studied the diverse nature, people and cultures he encountered and came back imbued with a deep belief in the equality of races. On his return he was feted in England, France, Germany and Poland, using his fame to advocate freedom and human rights and argue against empire, racism and slavery. He admired strong and educated women and was proud to have daughters. The book traces how - inspired by the French Revolution - he became a leader of the short-lived Republic of Mainz and was eventually forced into exile in Paris during the Reign of Terror.
Following in Forster's footsteps from Europe to Tahiti, and drawing on a wealth of correspondence mostly unpublished in English, Andrea Wulf paints a portrait of a remarkable, passionate figure unbound by place, people or establishment. She vividly conveys his extraordinary quest to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart.

The definitive guide to transforming everyday interactions into remarkable wins, from Harvard Law, MIT, and University of Michigan's negotiation experts.
What if you could walk away from every conversation with exactly what you want?
At work, at home, and in our daily interactions, our lives are full of constant negotiation:

Even getting our spouse to take out the trash
But, while we like to think we know how to get our way, too many of us struggle to capture what we know we deserve.
In Never Settle, renowned negotiation experts Attia Qureshi and John Richardson move beyond the basic theory of persuasion to help you learn these invaluable skills to get more in every aspect of your life.
Drawing from decades of experience teaching at elite institutions and incorporating insights they've culled from FBI negotiation tactics, they offer readers groundbreaking, actionable strategies to negotiate with confidence and achieve extraordinary results, no matter the circumstances.
With easy-to-follow, habit-building exercises, this revolutionary guide reveals how you can build trust through reciprocity, get more through a strategic no, and craft win-win outcomes using creative problem-solving.
Accessible and empowering, Never Settle equips you with the techniques you need to unlock the best deal, without settling for anything less.
This Immortal Heart
From the #1 bestselling author comes an epic story of love and war as two opposing deities find themselves drawn to each other against all odds. Because when Aphrodite and Ares fall in love, sparks are bound to fly.
This is the oldest love story of all time . . .
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.
Ares, God of War, is her perfect contradiction: feared, unwanted and relentless in his devotion to chaos. Where she breathes life into longing, he thrives in destruction.
And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes . . .

Amióta otthagyta a Runway magazinnál az állását, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák", Andyvel igazán jól bánt az élet. Jelenleg, tíz év elteltével az esküvőjére készül, és a saját, sikeres magazinját szerkeszti.
De akkor miért nem bír aludni az esküvő előtti éjszakán? Csak ideges lenne, vagy komoly kételyei vannak? És miért kell örökösen a volt főnökére, Mirandára - vagyis az Ördögre - gondolnia?
Nagyon úgy tűnik, hogy Andy erőfeszítései, amelyekkel az új áloméletet építgette magának, egyenesen odavezették az Ördög útjába, aki bosszúra szomjazik...

Aký krásny obrázok
Príbeh o zrade, ktorú rodina odmietla vidieť.
Andrea má štyri a pol roka, keď ju jej otec David po prvýkrát kúpe. Hoci je ešte veľmi malá, cíti, že na spôsobe, akým sa jej dotýka, je niečo nesprávne. Keď ich v kúpeľni prichytí matka Marlene, zrúti sa na zem a po prebudení zistí, že oslepla. Jej hysterická slepota vyvolaná šokom trvá len niekoľko týždňov. Vedomá slepota voči pravde však celé desaťročia.
Andrea vyrastá v tieni nevypovedaného, vyštuduje ošetrovateľstvo a neskôr právo, vybuduje si úspešnú kariéru a naučí sa prežívať vo svete zmarených ilúzií. No vo veku tridsaťtri rokov spustí jeden nechcený dotyk v preplnenom metre lavínu spomienok, ktoré roky držala pod zámkom.
Aký krásny obrázok je silná a bolestivo úprimná memoárová výpoveď o zrade, ktorú rodina odmietla vidieť, a o dlhom, náročnom procese uzdravenia. Vhodná pre fanúšikov bestsellerov Som rada, že mama zomrela (Jennette McCurdy) a Sklený zámok (Jeannette Wallsová).
We Need to Tax Billionaires
Why do billionaires pay less tax than you?
Billionaires often pay a lower income tax rate than nurses, teachers and almost everyone else - sometimes close to zero. This isn't tax evasion, it's the system.
In this explosive manifesto, Gabriel Zucman - the economist revolutionising the study of inequality - reveals how the ultra-rich dodge billions using havens, loopholes and political influence, while public services are breaking.
Until we understand the hidden rules that protect extreme wealth, inequality will keep rising and democracy will keep losing. This game-changing book finally shows us how making the ultra-rich pay their fair share is possible, and why now is the moment.

Az ördög Pradát visel
Andrea Sachs friss diplomásként olyan állást kap, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák". A Runway divatlap főszerkesztője, Miranda Priestly asszisztenseként egy számára teljesen új világban találja magát, ahol csakis Pradát, Versacét és Armanit hordanak. A nők elképesztően ápoltak és tűsarkakon tipegnek, a férfiak pedig izmosak és elbűvölők. De Miranda mindnyájukat képes hisztérikus kisgyermekké változtatni.
Andrea megpróbál alkalmazkodni és megfelelni. Zokszó nélkül és legjobb tudása szerint teljesíti Miranda minden óhaját. Megszerzi a még meg sem jelent legújabb Harry Potter regényt, és különgéppel elküldi Párizsba, hogy Miranda lányai elsőként olvashassák. Felkutatja a közelebbről meg nem nevezett régiségkereskedést Manhattanben, ahol Miranda látott egy jópofa tálalót. Pontosan azon a hőmérsékleten tálalja Miranda ebédjét az irodában, ahogy a főnökasszony megköveteli. És szinte éjjel-nappal csörög a telefonja, mert Mirandának minden percben újabb és újabb lehetetlen kívánsága támad.
De Andrea mindent elvisel, mert egyetlen cél lebeg a szeme előtt: ha kibír egy évet Miranda mellett, az ő ajánlásával utána akármelyik szabadon választott hetilapnál vezető beosztásban dolgozhat. Ám egy idő után Andrea kezd rádöbbenni, hogy a munka, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák", őt akár meg is ölheti.
