Night Fire
'Emotionally affecting and astute' The Scotsman'Every page, every sentence bears a remarkable intelligence, curiosity and sympathy' Martin MacInnes'Exquisitely written' Lucy RibchesterIn the skies above war-torn Europe, Stanley Wake and his fellow aircrew at Bomber Command risk their lives on missions that are incredibly dangerous and highly pressured. As the strains of their work press on him, Stan is beginning to suspect that either their plane is haunted or Stan himself may be haunted by his part in bringing about death and destruction to so many. On the ground in Lincoln, Abby Sallow is desperately trying to keep her own ghosts at bay. Working in a factory dismantling wrecked aircraft, Abby struggles to escape the nightly visions of her only son, who was killed at the very outset of war. While Stan longs to live, Abby seems intent on bringing about her own death. And for intensely superstitious Harry Culpepper, one of Stan’s crewmates, it is only the Fates can keep him alive. He has crafted a talisman – a bird skull – that he is convinced will guarantee his safety. But as the bombing intensifies and the crew count down towards 30 flights completed – the point at which they will be given a reprieve from their deadly work – all three characters will discover whether they can find a chance of peace amongst the devastation of war, and whether the ghosts that haunt them can ever truly be laid to rest. Moving, evocative and beautifully written, Night Fire establishes Richard Strachan as a major new name in historical fiction. 'Exquisitely crafted and compelling' COURIER

Stream Big
Told through the diverse and fascinating careers of nine streamers, this is a “timely and insightful dive into the players and politics of one of the twenty-first century’s most influential modes of media” (Brian Merchant, author of Blood in the Machine), examining how Twitch has revolutionized technology, entertainment, business, and pop culture. With 2.5 million viewers at any given moment, the streaming platform Twitch is in the lead and often well beyond mainstream networks like CNN and Fox during primetime. On Twitch, the Amazon-owned tech behemoth, the biggest personalities, like Kai Cenat, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, and Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, can earn millions per year by firing up their internet connection and going live. Veteran technology and gaming journalist Nathan Grayson “captures the multitudes contained within Twitch while offering a captivating window into content creators’ lives” (Publishers Weekly), especially those who helped make the platform into a billion-dollar global business. From Twitch’s early days of rapid growth to acquisition by Amazon to the defection of creators and rival platforms, Grayson makes the radical argument that many social technology companies are far more dependent on their creators than the creators are on their platforms. Told through nine exceptional Twitch creators whose on-screen personalities helped the company grow into a powerhouse, this is the explosive and “necessary” (Mark Bergen, author of Like, Comment, Subscribe) story of when entertainment meets the internet in the era of social and video content domination.

Queer Art (Art Essentials)
A concise, accessible and global overview of modern and contemporary queer art, co-written by notable curators in the field.
Queer Art is a commanding compendium of LGBTQIA+ art that highlights its ongoing resilience from the 19th century to the present day. Spanning generations and geographies, Queer Art's carefully curated selection of practitioners paints a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, underscoring the complexity of lived experience and cutting through the basic understanding of the subject that seeks to measure 'queerness' against overt homoeroticism and proven homosexuality.
Queer art curators Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley begin by exploring how resilience has shaped artistic expression, establishing the historical backdrop against which queer art has evolved. From liberation to intersectionality, reclamation to futurism, four thematic chapters unpack the key concerns of queer art as they relate to the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein and Xiyadie. By exploring the notion of 'queer art' through the lens of both historical figures and contemporary practitioners, Queer Art adopts a dual focus, traversing the past and present to reflect on covert histories whilst imagining radical futures in which art not only reflects but shapes social norms.

Football Hackers
The future of football is now.
Football's data revolution has only just begun. The arrival of advanced metrics and detailed analysis is already reshaping the modern game. We can now fully assess player performance, analyse the role of luck and measure what really leads to victory. There is no turning back.
Now the race is on between football's wealthiest clubs and a group of outsiders, nerds and rule-breakers, who are turning the game on its head with their staggering innovations. Winning is no longer just about what happens out on the pitch, it's now a battle taking place in boardrooms and on screens across international borders with the world's brightest minds driving for an edge over their fiercest rivals.
Christoph Biermann has moved in the midst of these disruptive upheavals, talking to scientists, coaches, managers, scouts and psychologists in the world's major clubs, traveling across Europe and the US and revealing the hidden - and often jaw-dropping - truths behind the beautiful game.
Notes to John
A recently discovered journal from one of America's most iconic writers, Joan Didion, the author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights.
A pile of neatly typed pages was found in Joan Didion's office after her death. She had meticulously recorded her weekly sessions with a psychiatrist. As far as anyone knows, the pages had been read by only one other person: Didion's husband, John Gregory Dunne.
The sessions began as a method of dealing with the heartbreaking alcoholism of their adult daughter, Quintana. Discussions broadened into revelations about Didion's own childhood, longstanding behaviour patterns, marriage, guilt, work and 'what's been worth'.
Writing was the way Didion dealt with life. Notes to John presents a riveting account of the therapeutic process, crafted with the singular intelligence, precision and elegance that characterise all of her work.

Miranda Reed, az egyetem legfiatalabb fizikaprofesszora szereti pontosan megtervezni az életét. Ám amikor elutasítják a kinevezését, és meghiúsul a biztosnak hitt előléptetés, addig kiszámítható élete hirtelen darabjaira hullik.
Miután derékba tört a karrierje, Miranda a csillagok felé fordul – ezúttal azonban nem fekete lyukakat keres. Mivel a tudományba vetett hite megrendült, olyan helyen kezdi keresni a választ, amit korábban teljesen abszurdnak tartott: az asztrológiában.
Elhatározza, hogy egy évig hagyja, hogy a horoszkópja irányítsa az életét. Ezért aztán lakásfelújításba kezd, új háziállatot fogad örökbe, és azt kutatja, mit mondanak a csillagok az ideális párkapcsolatról. A titokzatosan zárkózott művész a szomszédból? Szó sem lehet róla. A Kos energiái teljesen kizárják. Vagy új tanítványának sármos apja? Tökéletes Nyilas. Mintha neki teremtették volna… nem igaz?
Ahogy Miranda új szemszögből kezdi látni az életét, lassan ráébred, hogy sem a tudomány, sem a csillagok nem adnak választ minden kérdésére. És hogy a szerelemben néha jobb, ha egyszerűen csak a szívére hallgat az ember.
Fedezd fel, mit tartogatnak számodra a csillagok!
