Soft Core
A blazing novel following a young woman on a wild, hallucinogenic quest for love and selfhood in San Francisco's seedy underground.
Baby is a dancer at a strip club and at the age of 27, she's feeling lost. It seems that only Dino, her sweet, cross-dressing, drug-dealing ex-boyfriend can keep her afloat. So, when Dino disappears without so much as a kiss goodbye, she plunges headfirst into San Francisco's shady erotic underground to find him.
Baby searches through dive bars and old haunts, at the club and at the sex dungeon where she has a part-time dominatrix gig. She encounters clients like Simon, a recluse paying her for increasingly bizarre 'favours' and a philosophizing suicide fetishist named 'Nobody', as well as co-workers like Emeline, the balletic new hire who seems to want to steal Baby's whole identity, starting with her underwear.
It's not long before she starts to find cryptic notes hidden in her belongings and realises her search is attracting the wrong kind of attention. With her grip on reality loosening and the clock ticking, will Baby manage to put together the pieces and find the only man she's ever loved? Or might her past catch up with her first?
Manically smart, brutally funny and deeply sexy, Soft Core is a book about desire, fantasy and true love - like no other.
LATERAL COOKING
Do you feel you that you follow recipes slavishly without understanding how they actually work? Would you like to feel freer to adapt, to experiment, to play with flavours?
Well look no further - in these pages, Niki Segnit, author of the landmark The Flavour Thesaurus, gives you the tools to do just that. Organised into 77 'starting-point' recipes, Lateral Cooking including plenty of tips for substituting ingredients and reducing the phenomenal variety of world cuisine down to its bare essentials - and then building it back up again.
So, under 'Bread', Niki guides you through flatbreads, oatcakes, buckwheat noodles, chapattis and tortillas, showing you how they are all variations on one theme. A few simple tweaks and you can make soda bread, scones or cobbler. And so on, through breads and batters, broths, stews and dals, one dish leading to another.
Lateral Cooking is as inspirational and entertaining a read as it is a practical guide. Once you have the hang of each starting point, a wealth of new flavour combinations awaits, each related in Niki's signature combination of culinary science, history, chefs' wisdom and entertaining personal anecdote.
Niki shows you that recipes you had thought were outside of your experience are reassuringly similar to things you've made a dozen times before, giving you the confidence to experiment with flavour. The variations that follow are a springboard of inspiration to the contents of your fridge and kitchen cupboards.
In these pages, you will discover to cook 'by heart' - and that's where the fun really begins.

The Age Code
From the rising incidence of cancer in the under-50s to increased infertility rates, there are signs everywhere that growing numbers of us are ageing too quickly. Why? Many believe there’s one major culprit: our diet.
Ageing reflects a fragile balance in our cells between damage and repair. Sugar, excess calories and gut inflammation are all common sources of damage, but if we instead fuel our body with valuable micronutrients, we can lower our disease risk and age markedly slower. Until recently this process was impossible to measure, but with new breakthroughs we can even assess the age of individual organs, giving rise to a new science of food that might save us.
Join Dr David Cox as he meets the experts attempting to understand what’s accelerating our biological clocks and what we can do about it. Along the way you’ll learn everything from why we become more acidic as we age, to why omega-3s are one of the most powerful anti-ageing supplements, to the simple adjustments to your cooking that will help you age better.
The Age Code urgently pinpoints why our eating habits must change and what we can all do to live longer and healthier lives.
A Biblia Éva, Judit és Mária Magdolna szerint
A Biblia történetei évszázadokon át formálták kultúránkat, mégis a magyarázatok és újramesélések gyakran háttérbe szorították a női szereplők hangját. Ez a kötet ezen változtat. A jól ismert eseményeket most Éva, Judit, Mária Magdolna és más bibliai nők mesélik el - saját szavaikkal, saját nézőpontjukból. A könyv érzékenyen és bátor frissességgel mutatja meg, miként élhették meg ők a teremtést, a hitet, a kísértést, a veszteséget és a reményt.
A mű nemcsak hiánypótló vállalkozás, hanem kifejezetten olvasmányos is: irodalmi igényességgel, mégis közérthetően közelít az ősi szövegekhez. Új fényt vet a legismertebb történetekre, miközben emberközelivé teszi a bibliai alakokat. Azok számára is élvezetes és befogadható olvasmány, akik kevésbé jártasak a Bibliában, hiszen a személyes hangvétel, az érzelmi mélység és a modern narráció hidat képez múlt és jelen között.
Ez a könyv egyszerre újraértelmezés és felfedezés: meghívás arra, hogy a Bibliát ne csak olvassuk, hanem meghalljuk benne azokat a hangokat is, amelyek túl sokáig maradtak csendben.
Unbreakable
Familiar to many from his season on the Directing Staff of Channel 4's Who Dares Wins, Melvyn Downes served in the SAS for 12 years. He has faced physical and psychological trauma. He’s lost close friends and family members. He’s experienced bullying and racial harassment. But no matter how tough things get, he is always convinced he’ll get out the other side. He wasn’t born fearless, or strong, or confident. Those things grew from graft, a willingness to learn from mistakes and a constant desire to push himself out of his comfort zone. Structured chronologically around lessons learned the hard the way, that helped him be the best version of himself, on and off the battlefield, this is a true story of a life lived at the toughest extremes. It’s also an inspiring insight into the can-do mindset of an SAS blade who lives by the ethos: ‘Improve, adapt, overcome’.
