Hunger and Thirst
FROM THE COSTA AWARD-WINNING, WOMEN’S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF UNSETTLED GROUND'An absolute masterpiece. Utterly absorbing, genuinely unsettling' JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of Suspicious Things'Atmospheric, psychologically vivid, and unputdownable' ALICE WINN, author of In Memoriam1987: After a childhood trauma and years in and out of the care system, sixteen-year-old Ursula finds herself with a new job in the postroom of a local art school, a bed in a halfway house, and—delightfully— some new friends, including wild-child, Sue. When Ursula is invited to join a squat at The Underwood, a mysterious house whose owners met a terrible end, she can’t resist the promise of a readymade, hodgepodge family. But as Sue’s behaviour and demands become more extreme, Ursula who has always been hungry—for food—and more importantly for love, acceptance and belonging, carries out her friend’s terrible dare. It's a decision that will haunt her for decades. Thirty-six years later, Ursula is a renowned, reclusive sculptor living under a pseudonym in London when her identity is exposed by true-crime documentary-maker who is digging into an unsolved disappearance. But it is not only the filmmaker who has discovered Ursula’s whereabouts, and as her past catches up with her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are within her or without. From critically acclaimed and award-winning author, Claire Fuller, Hunger and Thirst is a compelling and chilling tale of loneliness and female friendship, of the dangerous line between wanting and needing, and of how far a person will go to truly belong. 'Unremittingly unsettling, propulsive and tense. Fuller excels at depicting outsiders, and writes with such precision and economy. Truly terrifying' Sarah Vaughan'Addictive, disturbing and suspenseful. It reminded me of Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine at her most vivid. Ursula is a rare creation' Amanda Craig

The Things We Never Say
Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad-at himself and the people around him-and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?
And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear-and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence.
With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. The Things We Never Say is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart.

Blueprints
Many artists are unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common, but what if we’re wrong?
Marcus du Sautoy, acclaimed mathematician and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford, looks to art, music, design and literature to uncover the key mathematical structures that underpin both human creativity and the natural world.
Blueprints takes us from the earliest stone circles to the modernist architecture of Le Corbusier, from Bach’s circular compositions to Radiohead’s disruptive soundscapes, and from Shakespeare’s hidden numerical clues to the Dada artists who embraced randomness. Instead of polar opposites we find a complementary relationship that spans a vast historical and geographic landscape.
Whether we are searching for meaning in an abstract painting or deciphering poetry, there are blueprints everywhere: prime numbers, symmetry, fractals and the weirder worlds of Hamiltonian cycles and hyperbolic geometry. Nature similarly exploits these structures to achieve the wonders of our universe.
In this innovative and delightfully bold exploration of creativity, Marcus explains how we make art, why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new mathematics and how a fundamental connection to the natural world intrinsically links these two subjects.

Vysocí muži jen neradi tančí
Hudba jako útočiště. Vášeň jako osud. životopisný román o Hanuši Wihanovi, violoncellistovi, který dokázal proměnit ticho v hlas a obyčejný tón v pravdu o člověku. Z Police nad Metují vede jeho cesta přes orchestry evropských měst a pražskou konzervatoř až k založení Českého kvarteta – tělesa, kde hudba přestává být Kariérou a stává se řečí duše. Kniha pulzuje emocemi přelomu 19. a 20. století: radostí z hudby, vnitřní samotou, neklidem doby i hlubokým kontrastem mezi Evropou a českým světem plným skrytých sporů. Ty se však v hudbě rozpouštějí – nebo zůstávají nevyslovené, protože skutečné soustředění patří tónu, nikoli hluku kolem.
Autor Pavel Frydrych, stejně jako Hanuš Wihan rodák z Police nad Metují, vypráví příběh muže, který nemusel tančit, aby dokázal pohnout světem.
Pevnost kořenů
Sbírka Pevnost kořenů přináší básně prostoupené tichem krajiny, hloubkou víry i naléhavostí současného světa. Autorka Marie Dolistová ve verších citlivě zachycuje proměny přírody, lidského nitra i času, který plyne mezi zrozením a odchodem. Motivy lesa, putování a světla se zde prolínají s otázkami smyslu, utrpení i naděje. Vedle meditativních a duchovně laděných básní se ve sbírce objevují i silné reflexe aktuálních událostí a bolestí světa, které kontrastují s tichou krásou haiku a obrazností přírodních scenérií. Pevnost kořenů je knihou o hledání pevného bodu v nejistém světě – o návratu k podstatě, k víře, k tichu, které dokáže nést i v časech zkoušek.

D’you Hear There!
A unique approach to describing life at sea in the Royal Navy. Despite the introduction of modern-day technology, Ships and Submarines of the Royal Navy still operate on the basis of main broadcast announcements, known in the Royal Navy as Pipes. Before the introduction of main broadcasts, a Crew (or Ship’s Company) would be alerted to forthcoming ship’s activity either using a Bosun’s Call (which is a small pipe or whistle) or a Bugle. Whilst those methods are still in place, and still used, a Pipe is now the term for any verbal announcement made over a ship’s main broadcast in the Royal Navy. This book aims to translate their meanings, not simply to make the seemingly incomprehensible understandable, but also to conjure up often humorous anecdotes that provide an insight into life at sea in the RN. Each Pipe is provided with a brief description of its meaning followed by longer observation of what it meant to different members of the Ship’s Company.
