From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Women and The Nightingale, Summer Island is a poignant, warm and tender novel about a mother and daughter: the complex ties that bind them, the past that separates them, and the healing that comes with forgiveness.
Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters behind. She has since become a famous radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist beloved for her moral advice, while her youngest daughter, Ruby, is a struggling comedian who uses her famous mother as fuel for her bitter, cynical humour.

Nora insists they retreat to Summer Island, to the lovely old house on the water where Ruby grew up; a place filled with childhood memories of love and joy and belonging. There, Ruby is also reunited with her first love and his brother. Once, the three of them had been best friends; inseparable. Until the summer that Nora left, and everyone's hearts were broken . . .

From being raised by a doomsday-fearing father and hardened by the startup world, she has learned how to endure - especially in her marriage to Logan Grant, a charismatic tyrant who keeps her under tight control. To Emma, her marriage is a cage: it keeps you in, but it also keeps you safe. Until it doesn't.
When Emma forms an unexpected bond with Logan's former girlfriend, the two women form a plan to help Emma reclaim her life. Destination: the punishing final stretch of the Appalachian Trail.
After all, bad things happen in the woods all the time.

A Different Kind of Power
This is not just a book for people who follow politics, but for anyone who has ever doubted themselves, or wanted to make a difference.
The deeply personal memoir from the former prime minister of New Zealand, then the world's youngest female head of government and just the second to become a mother in office.
Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she became a global icon for her empathetic leadership that put people first. She guided her country through unprecedented challenges, from the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks to a global pandemic. She advanced visionary policies to address climate change and child poverty. And all while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye.
This is the inspiring story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt changed our assumptions of what a leader can be. A Different Kind of Power is more than a political memoir. Powerfully evocative and refreshingly open, it is a profound insight into how it feels to lead and it asks: what if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?
EXODUS: The Helium Sea
The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.
For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions - one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever - as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim its vengeance.
For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion.
But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead - all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.

Daimler Fleetlines
The embryonic Daimler Motor Co. Ltd and the Lancashire Steam Motor Co. (Leyland Motors Ltd from 1907) were both formed in 1896 and produced early examples of motor vehicles in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Daimler established a number of works in the district of Radford in Coventry, where a range of high-end cars and buses were assembled.Leyland had stolen a march on Daimler by bringing the revolutionary Atlantean to the market in late 1958. It would be August 1960 before Daimler’s equivalent, the Fleetline, was introduced. The Fleetline possessed many of the attributes of the Atlantean but one gave it an advantage over its competitor. A drop-centre rear axle was fitted as standard which eliminated the need for low-height bodywork. Also, apart from a few early models, the bus was mainly powered by the ever-reliable Gardner six-cylinder engine.The two builders went toe-to-toe during the 1960s and early 1970s as the only other realistic equivalent option was the Bristol VRT. Jaguar Cars, who had acquired the company from BSA in 1960, was keen to divest itself of the Bus Building Division and this resulted in a merger with Leyland Motors. Production of the Fleetline was transferred to Leyland’s Farington site during 1973. However, it wasn’t until 1976 that the Daimler name was dropped in favour of the Leyland Fleetline brand name, which continued to be available until 1981.Over 8,700 Fleetlines were produced under the Daimler name, including a significant number of single-deck types. Here Mike Rhodes charts the fortunes of the Fleetline until the Daimler name was dropped.
VW Corrado
The VW Corrado is a purebred sports car in its own right, originally tasked with the difficult job of replacing the legendary Scirocco coupés. It was designed to showcase the Volkswagen Group’s considerable technical and mechanical capabilities in the late 1980s.

The car’s evolution over the years, the different variants, the special series and even the original preparations, developed by the best German tuners such as Oettinger, Treser, ABT or Zender, are also featured in this book. This indispensable guide tells the complete story of the VW Corrado.
Zaklínač II.: Meč osudu
Zaklínač – ošlehaný muž bez věku, jehož bílé vlasy nejsou znakem stáří, ale mutace, kterou musel podstoupit. Placený i dobrovolný likvidátor prapodivných tvorů: mantichor, trollů, vidlohonů, strig, amfisbain – pokud ovšem ohrožují lidský rod; v takovém případě zabíjí i bytost zvanou člověk. Prvotřídní, skvělý bojovník, který není neporazitelný ani nezranitelný – naopak, téměř z každého dobrodružství si odnáší další šrámy na těle i na duši.
Zrádné tropy (základní verze)
Za zlatem, slávou a průšvihy! Zrádné tropy nás v krkolomných zvratech rafinovaného a prudce pádícího děje zavedou stejně tak do bájného Eldoráda jako do paláců španělských velmožů, do hlubin peruánských dolů či na vrcholky hor, do džunglí i do pustin. Španělské „pikareskní romány“ vyprávějí o životě nějakého šibala či lotra. Mezi ty nejslavnější právem patří dílo Franciska de Queveda ze sedmnáctého století nazvané Život rošťáka. De Quevedův román končí tím, že „hrdina“ Pablos odplouvá do Nového světa. Vynikající scenárista Alain Ayroles a Juanjo Guarnido, kreslíř, jejž nejvíce proslavila série Blacksad, se rozhodli odvyprávět pokračování tohoto příběhu. Příhody nenapravitelného ničemy Pablose v Jižní Americe uvádějí na scénu barvitou mozaiku krajin od Amazonie po Kordillery a lidí i lidiček od španělských grandů až po uprchlé otroky, což umožnilo Guarnidovi předvést celou paletu velkolepých scenérií, ohromujících barev a karikovaných postav, jak to od něj známe z Blacksada.
Renoir
Vannak festők, akik a világot ábrázolják, és vannak, akik újra felfedeztetik velünk. Pierre-Auguste Renoir ilyen művész volt, olyan alkotó, aki nemcsak látni tanított, hanem érezni is. Képei nem pusztán jelenetek, hanem fényből, levegőből és emberi közelségből szőtt, élő pillanatok. A lombok között rezgő napfény, egy nyári délután aranyló könnyedsége, a beszélgetések halk moraja, a táncoló párok örvénylő mozgása, barátok egymásra hajló tekintete mind-mind életre kel vásznain. Renoir festészetében az élet nem távoli vagy ünnepélyes, hanem közvetlen, meleg és lüktetően eleven. E könyv lapjain egy olyan festő élete bontakozik ki, aki a mindennapok egyszerű szépségében találta meg a művészet örök témáját. A párizsi műtermek világából indulunk, ahol a fiatal Renoir kitartással és kíváncsisággal kereste saját hangját, majd végigkísérjük a Montmartre pezsgő utcáin, a kávéházak és tánchelyek vidám forgatagában. Megelevenednek az impresszionista barátságok, a műtermek modelljei, a hűséges mecénások és a múzsák világa, köztük Aline Charigot alakja is, aki nemcsak festményeinek derűs szereplője, hanem a művész életének csendes középpontja lett. A könyv felvillantja a keresés és az átalakulás éveit, az itáliai utazások meghatározó élményét, amikor a reneszánsz mesterek harmóniája új irányba terelte festészetét. Elvezet továbbá a dél-francia tájak ragyogó csendjébe, ahol a mediterrán fényben megszülettek utolsó művei, telt formákkal, meleg tónusokkal és időtlen nyugalmat sugárzó alakokkal. Renoir egész életében ugyanazt a titkot kutatta: miként ragadható meg a festészet nyelvén a fény, az emberi test lágysága és az egymás közelében élő emberek csendes intimitása. Képei nem csupán látványt őriznek, hanem egy életérzést, a pillanat törékeny boldogságát. Talán éppen ezért különösen megrendítő életének utolsó fejezete. Amikor a betegség már minden mozdulatot fájdalmassá tett, amikor ujjai alig engedelmeskedtek, makacs derűvel és rendíthetetlen hittel festett tovább, mintha minden ecsetvonással az élet szépségét erősítené meg újra és újra. Utolsó éveiben, a dél-francia fény ölelésében született képei különös békét sugároznak. Csendéletei, portréi és az emberi test szépségét megidéző festményei egy hosszú élet derűs vallomásai. Arról tanúskodnak, hogy a szépség mindig jelen van a világban, csak meg kell tanulnunk észrevenni.
Body Electric
In today’s world, a normal day means sitting in front of a screen for eight to ten hours. Meeting after meeting. Email after email. We leave our desks drained, overstimulated and unfocused, only to go home, sit down again, and scroll some more. The result? Headaches, back pain, restless sleep, and rising rates of preventable disease. We know technology is breaking us down—so why can’t we break away? It’s a question that Manoush Zomorodi has always wanted to answer. As the host of NPR's TED Radio Hour and Body Electric podcast, she has interviewed experts, conducted citizen experiments, and sought out research about how our digital lives are changing the way we think, learn, and feel. Now, in Body Electric, she presents an eye-opening investigation into the impact technology and sedentary living has had on our bodies and brains, from breath and eyesight to blood pressure, posture, and productivity, and shares what science (and tens of thousands of participants in a groundbreaking study with Columbia University Medical Center) have taught her—it’s the small shifts, not the digital detoxes, that will make us healthier. And all we need is five minutes. Filled with perspective-shifting data and real-life applications and tools, Body Electric is the next must-read for fans of Four Thousand Weeks and The Anxious Generation, and anyone else feeling trapped by their technology.
