On Thin Ice
I have one shot to build a better life—not just for me, but for my little brother still stuck in the dump I escaped from. Now that I’ve gotten to Sovereign Kings University, I have to make it worth it. Keep my head down, ignore the rich kids, and graduate.
At least that was my plan before I busted a hockey player’s knee and became public enemy number one. Now the team’s golden boy captain, Alexander, leads the charge against me. Kane, the brooding defenseman never misses a chance to humiliate me. Yet, being painfully ignored by Mountain, the reserved giant of a goalie, may just hurt the most.
Beneath their hostility I find sparks of desire and unexpected depth, but can I risk losing my heart to one hockey player—let alone all three? I’m certainly in for a long, hard season.

The Eustace Diamonds
''She liked lies...To lie readily and cleverly, recklessly and yet successfully, was, according to the lessons which she had learned, a necessity in a woman''Lizzie Eustace is young, beautiful, and widowed. Her determination to hold on to the Eustace family''s diamond necklace in the face of legal harassment by her brother-in-law''s solicitor entangles her in a series of crimes - apparent and real - and contrived love-affairs. Her cousin Frank, Tory MP and struggling barrister, loyally assists her, to the distress of his fiancée, Lucy Morris. A pompous Under-Secretary of State, an exploitative and acquisitive American and her unhappy niece, a shady radical peer, and a brutal aristocrat are only some of the characters in this, one of Trollope''s most engaging novels: part sensation fiction, part detective story, part political satire, and part ironic romance.The Eustace Diamonds (1873) belongs to Trollope''s Palliser series. Though often considered the least political of the six novels, it is a highly revealing study of Victorian Britain, its colonial activities in Ireland and India, its veneration of wealth, and its pervasive dishonesty. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Finnegans Wake
'A great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page' - Anthony Burgess
James Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake, conjures up the dark underground worlds of sexuality and dream with supreme linguistic virtuosity. Here Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and the English language, and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history. Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth century.
'Here words are not the polite contortions of twentieth-century printer's ink. They are alive. They elbow their way on to the page, and glow and blaze and fade and disappear' Samuel Beckett
With a new introduction by Brian Fox.

Rasputin Swims the Potomac
IN A WORLD THAT'S LIKE OURS BUT EVEN STRANGER . . .
A TV star president is campaigning for a constitutionally dubious third term, normal Americans are falling into an unexplained weeping sickness and a wrestler claiming to be the reincarnated mystic Rasputin is making a spandex-clad entrance into politics.
Meanwhile Clarence Thomas Jr. is a journalist just trying to make sense of his country as it unmoors from reality. But with violence and bullshit erupting everywhere, things seem to be approaching collapse. Or maybe it's all building to a grand gesture: something political, romantic, religious, insane and quite possibly fatal.
From award-winning author Ben Fountain, Rasputin Swims the Potomac is outrageously funny, wildly imagined and razor-sharp satire. It asks: what could possibly grow out of what we have now, except for something even stranger, harder to grasp and more tumultuous? And will what comes next be better or, somehow, even worse?
Preston's Colourful Past
Historic photographs are a fascinating window into the past and due to the advances in the colourising of images we are nowadays able to see the colourful scene that the camera lens captured. These images bring Preston’s past to life. In the photographs that pioneering photographer Robert Patteson took around the town in the 1860s we can now appreciate the colours that he saw with his own eyes as he focussed his camera lens in Avenham, Winckley Square and beyond. Likewise, those images by the press photographers of the 1920s onwards can now be seen in a cavalcade of colour. All the pomp, pageantry and processions of old produced parades teeming with colourful banners, participants and crowds. Royal visits, military parades and Preston Guilds were all occasions to hang out the bunting and wave the multi coloured flags. The mill girls from Horrockses took part in many a procession and they showed it was not only about clogs, aprons and shawls as they paraded in the colourful fashionable frocks produced by them in their Preston factory and worn throughout the land.This book will take you on a journey into Preston''s colourful past. Life in Preston has always had a dash of colour about it but this does not show it through rose-tinted glasses – here we see the true life of bygone days. These pictures transport you back in time as you reflect on the life of Preston and the lives of folk who have dwelt there.
Stockton-on-Tees: A Potted History
Stockton-on-Tees was a small port and market town in the north-east of England for much of its history. Shipbuilding and other industries gradually established themselves over the years, but it was with the Industrial Revolution that the town received a massive boost. The opening of the pioneering Stockton & Darlington Railway enabled coal to be transported to the port. Industries developed around the discovery of iron ore locally, as well as engineering and potteries, and the population expanded rapidly. The town was transformed by large areas of Victorian dwellings, absorbing neighbouring settlements. By the turn of the twentieth century the town was supported by a thriving market, theatres, pubs, schools, libraries, fairs, parks and churches. The depression of the interwar years and the closure of shipyards saw many lose their jobs, but the period also saw the start of the chemical industry at Billingham, which grew into a vast complex. Although today Stockton has lost much of its traditional industry, sites have been turned into business parks, attracting service industries and a university campus. The story of the town tells of heroes, inventors, business leaders, rioters as well as the lives of ordinary folk. Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Stockton-on-Tees has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the town.
Lorenzo Ghiberti
Lorenzo Ghiberti was the most celebrated sculptor of his day – praised by Alberti, admired by peers and trusted with Florence’s most prestigious commissions, including the iconic Baptistery doors. Yet his legacy has often been diminished, cast as a decorative hangover from the Gothic era and overshadowed by Donatello’s perceived Renaissance modernity. This book reconsiders Ghiberti’s achievement by focusing on his mastery of materials and design across bronze, glass, marble and drawing. From complex narrative reliefs to architectural ornament, Ghiberti emerges not just as a skilled craftsman, but as an inventive, multidimensional artist who redefined the possibilities of sculptural storytelling. By understanding him on his own terms, we gain a richer picture of early Renaissance invention and its lasting visual impact.

Cumbernauld From Old Photographs
Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire has seen huge changes over the years. Originally a village built around Cumbernauld Castle and Cumbernauld House, it was designated a new town in 1955 to house people living in poor conditions and war-damaged areas in Glasgow and elsewhere. Its population grew rapidly as construction started and by 1967, when the town centre was opened by Princess Margaret, Cumbernauld was winning awards for its innovative modernist architecture. Construction and expansion has continued in the ensuing years, with some of its original architecture being modified and even rebuilt for the changing requirements of people living in present-day Scotland.In Cumbernauld From Old Photographs the author has drawn on a remarkable selection of old photographs to give a pictorial record of how much the town and the community has changed over the years. Although many of landmarks have remained the same over the years the photographs show the town adapting and evolving with many other buildings being replaced and the pattern of life in the town changing for many too. This fascinating collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in Cumbernauld or know it well.

Az éhség titka
Jason Fung, aki Az elhízás titka című könyvével ezreknek segített lefogyni, új kötetében a hízás alapvető, kiváltó okát, az éhség természetét és szerepét vizsgálja, és feltárja azt a három erőt, amely evésre késztet bennünket: a fizikai, az érzelmi és a társas éhséget. A fogyás hagyományos megközelítése ugyanis alapvetően csak tüneti kezelés, ami nem jelent tartós sikert. A tartós siker kulcsa ugyanis az éhségérzet kezelése, hiszen ezen keresztül tudjuk megváltoztatni azt a biológiai beállítási pontot, amely meghatározza, mennyi zsírt igyekszik a szervezet megtartani.
A könyv három aranyszabállyal és ötven gyakorlati tanáccsal segít felismerni és kezelni az éhséget: megtanítja, hogyan szakítsd meg az érzelmi evés körforgását, hogyan lassítsd az emésztést, és hogyan állj ellen a folyamatos evésre ösztönző társas nyomásnak. Segítségével nemcsak a fogyás, hanem az elért eredmény megtartása is sikerülni fog.
Newport Bus
Newport Bus, the operating name of Newport Transport Limited, is the main provider of bus services in the city of Newport. It is one of a few remaining municipal bus companies in the United Kingdom and the second largest in Wales after Cardiff Bus. Newport has gone through a period of great change since the turn of the millennium, and so has its buses. The traditional green and cream livery has been replaced and now buses operate in overall green. 2020 saw the introduction of a fleet of Electric Yutong vehicles, making Newport Bus the largest operator of electric buses in Wales at that time.With a wealth of previously unpublished images, Simon Ingham documents the changing face of the city’s municipal bus company.
The Sword in the Stone
Many Indo-European peoples worshipped a sword-god, but the oldest of those associated with the Sword in the Stone come from the Hittite culture. The major evidence is found in a sacred complex at Yazilikaya near the original Hittite capitol of Hattusha. Twelve sword-bearing runners are depicted and there is a chamber dedicated to the swords that depicts a sword god. Clearly, we are looking at a zodiac pattern. Christ had twelve disciples and Charlemagne and King Arthur both had twelve companions. The twelve runners with the swords are on the western wall, and ''west'' is the traditional direction of the Otherworld, the Land of the Dead, in many Indo-European traditions. The Hittite ''Prayer of Kantuzzili'' tells how Underworld gods were shaped from clay into the form of swords and implanted in the ground. The story of the Sword in the Stone is repeated down through the centuries in different cultures, and the authors here bring all the strands together to explain hoe we arrive at Arthur. And even Galahad, the son of Lancelot, deputed to be the successful Grail knight in the later accounts of the quest, also performed this miracle. In this case the sword is placed in a floating stone by Merlin.Why is it a forty-thousand-year-old mystery? Observers in the Mesopotamian and Babylonian cultures noticed then that what is today referred to as the Pole Star, which sat at the centre of the heavenly dome, was shifting several degrees to the North. This event, which became known as Northshift, changed the positions of the constellations written across the sky, affecting the way in which the stars were perceived to influence the fate of us all. This is a fascinating tale of human perception of the night sky, and how it produced its own timeless narrative.
Glory and Dishonour
There have been many books on Victoria Cross heroes but this is the first one to explore the lives of those for whom the greatest accolade did not bring contentment, happiness or lasting fame. Men like the Cheltenham-born Duncan Boyes. The seventeen-year-old Midshipman Boyes won the VC in 1864, carrying the Queen's Colour through withering Japanese fire. Four years later, he would commit suicide by jumping out of a hotel window in Dunedin, New Zealand. How such tragedies unfold – and why – is the essence of this book. How do we judge the actions of Martin Doyle VC MM, for example? At the Battle of the Somme in 1916, under heavy fire, he carried a wounded officer to safety. Later he went to the aid of men in a blazing tank. When a machine gun opened up at close range, preventing the rescue of the wounded, he charged and silenced it, taking three prisoners. He also carried another wounded soldier to safety despite intense fire. Soon, he would be an IRA intelligence officer arranging the deaths of British soldiers. For Victoria Cross holders there is an observation that it is sometimes easier to win the medal than to wear it. Glory and Dishonour shows how true that can be.
The Duke
Set in a world of powerful female nobles and the women who love them... Kate, Duke of Howard, is known throughout Europe as a merciless autocrat not to be crossed. Consumed by a bitter rivalry, she avoids society and has vowed never to trap a woman into marriage with a monster like herself. The beautiful, ambitious courtesan Celine Genet once threw herself on the mercy of the visiting Duke of Howard. She was desperate to escape the guillotine. But after a night of searing passion, the duke left her to the ravages of Revolutionary Paris and didn’t look back. Now Celine is in London and in possession of a dangerous letter that proves the Duke of Howard committed treason as a child - and possibly even murder. Celine wants a titled husband in return for keeping the duke’s secret, leaving Kate no choice but to parade her around the most fashionable ballrooms. But as Celine takes society by storm, Kate finds herself growing fond of the woman set on destroying her. And as their attraction mounts, Kate faces an impossible choice: keep her childhood secret, or win the woman she loves. Anna Cowan's The Duke is an utterly unforgettable, page-turning romance featuring two women who, separately, are a danger to each other, but together, could be the most powerful duo London has ever seen.
