The Seven OClock Club
At seven oclock one Tuesday evening, in a perfectly ordinary London tower block, Callum, Freya, Mischa and Victoria meet for the first time. They have three things in common: all have suffered a traumatic experience; all of them cannot seem to put it behind them; and they have all accepted an invitation to attend a counselling session with the unconventional Genevieve - a determined woman with an unusual theory to test.
Connections form, friendship, and even love, begins to bloom as the group all work towards a brighter future that leaves their pasts behind them. But there is a reason these four people have been brought together - and they are all about to be forced to make some unexpected - and, for some, impossible - decisions...

Decisions on Western Waters
The long-running Decisions Series tackles the Brown Water Navy. At the outset of the Civil War, General Winfield Scott drafted the Anaconda Plan, an ambitious strategy to blockade southern ports and use army forces supported by naval gunboats to secure control of the Mississippi River for the Union, effectively dividing the Confederacy in two. Over the course of the campaign, General Grant's ground forces closely cooperated with river forces under the leadership of Flag Officers Andrew H. Foote and David Dixon Porter, as well as Rear Admiral David Farragut, to successfully seize Confederate strongholds along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Their gunboats and ironclads became known as the Brown Water Navy. This long, successful Federal campaign succeeded in opening the Mississippi River with the capture of New Orleans and the Confederate capitulation of Vicksburg. Decisions on Western Waters explores the critical decisions made by Confederate and Federal politicians and commanders during the campaign that shaped its outcome. Rather than offering a linear history of the campaign, Michael D. Becker homes in on decisions made by both sides of the contest to provide a clear blueprint of the campaign development and conduct at its tactical core. Exploring the decisions in this manner allows students of the campaign to progress from a knowledge of what happened to a mature grasp of why events happened. Complete with maps and a driving tour, Decisions on Western Waters is an indispensable primer to the campaign on the western waterways, and readers looking for a concise introduction to the battles can tour this sacred ground—or read about it at their leisure—with key insights into the campaign and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself. Decisions on Western Waters is the twenty-third in a series of books that explores the critical decisions of major campaigns and battles of the Civil War.

The Sea Spinner
Bursting with reawakened magic, a young woman challenges the tides of fate in this highly anticipated installment of Julie Johnson’s romantasy series . . . --Something changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas. Her untrained power feels both heavy with grief and volatile, crackling with each pulse of her simmering rage. Caeldera lies in ruins. Her friends are dead or wounded. And Pendefyre, their newly crowned king, is shutting her out. The Remnant of Fire needs all his focus for his kingdom, his people, and—perhaps more than anything—his insatiable need for revenge.

For enigmatic King Soren of Llyr is as different from Penn as sparks are from the sea.

She’ll lose her life. --Praise for the series:-"The Wind Weaver is a masterful fusion of epic fantasy and heart-pounding romance, equally relentless in its examination of dark themes as it is in bringing hope and magic to life.

Invincible
From the pioneering scientist and longevity expert, Dr Florence Comite, the new science-backed guide to future-proof your body and mind, defy your genetic destiny, and live a healthier, longer life.
What determines how long, and how well, we live?
Many of us assume we should look to our family history for clues - will we have a heart attack at fifty like Dad or develop Type 2 diabetes at seventy like Mum? It makes sense that we'd inherit the same path to ageing.
But your genes do not have to be your destiny.
Dr Florence Comite is the leading expert in healthy longevity, using precision medicine to help her patients reverse symptoms of biological ageing. Her clinical research shows that, even into middle-age, you can reverse the unhealthy trajectory you're on, live disease- and pain-free, active and happy, and recapture the energy of your twenties.
In her groundbreaking new book, Dr Comite offers a comprehensive, science-backed plan to improve your health and longevity. Based on years of clinical research and real case studies, Invincible will empower you to better understand your physiology, identify your unique health trajectory, and understand the specific proactive interventions that will stop and reverse biological ageing, metabolic disorders, heart disease and memory decline.
Unhealthy ageing is not inevitable; this book will show you how to become invincible.
The ADHD Sleep Book
Perfect for the increasingly diagnosed and underdiagnosed, this book fills a crucial market gap with specific and humane sleep advice. It's time for traditional sleep advice to truly consider the neurodivergent mind. If you've ever been called 'lazy' for struggling to wake up 'on time'If you think that sleep is boring when there's so much on your mind.
If you're convinced that sleep advice just doesn't work for you. READ THIS BOOK!
Awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity is growing rapidly, with diagnoses increasing and many more recognising symptoms without formal diagnosis. But when it comes to sleep, it is common to spread the same advice - go to bed earlier, wind down, cut screen time - without considering the uniqueness of the individual.
With research showing that up to 75% of individuals with ADHD experience chronic sleep difficulties, it is clear that sleep is central, not peripheral, to the neurodivergent mind. Yet many of us are stuck in the same shame-spirals- feeling like tiredness around a rigid 9-5 schedule is a moral failure, convinced that we're lazy, have poor discipline or can't get the hang of circadian clocks that seem to work for everyone. Yet no one is talking about the real solution- sleep advice should consider how the ADHD brain actually works - not how it should work.
The ADHD Sleep Book offers empowering rest and recovery strategies that start with you. By understanding the latest science behind sleep and neurodivergent wellbeing - from differences in melatonin levels, delayed sleep phases and hyperarousal at night - this book offers a compassionate and tailored pathway towards a restful night. Through relatable scenarios and drawing on the interventions Heather Darwall-Smith has used as a therapist and sleep specialist to help herself and her clients, this book will leave you feeling understood, empowered and equipped for realistic change.

Broke and desperate, Nico latches on to Titus. It's his big chance to get rich-until he falls in love with the man he needs to cheat.

Empire of AI
An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAI
When longtime AI expert and journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces.
But the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the 'compute' power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground 'cleaning it up' for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down.
In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.

A Crane Among Wolves - Daru a farkasok között
Egy testvér megmentése. Egy nép felszabadítása. Egy zsarnok megdöntése.
1506, Csoszon. Az ország népe a kegyetlen zsarnok Jonszán király uralma alatt szenved. A király elkobozza a földeket, betiltja és máglyára veti a könyveket, fiatal nőket és lányokat hurcol el, hogy aztán a játékszerévé tegye őket. Senki sem mer szembeszállni vele.
A tizenhét éves Iszül eleinte védett, kiváltságos életet él, a királyságban uralkodó zűrzavar ellenére. Amikor azonban nővére, Szujon is a király prédájává válik, Iszül elhagyja faluja biztonságát, és tiltott területeken átkelve a fővárosba indul, azzal a reménnyel, hogy kiszabadíthatja nővérét. Hamarosan azonban rádöbben, hogy a király hatalma korlátlan, és uralmának megkérdőjelezésével a biztos halált kockáztatja.
Dejun herceg az egész életét megvetett féltestvére, a király fenyegető árnyékában töltötte. Végignézte a kivégzéseket és a nép ellen elkövetett kegyetlenkedéseket, és egyre erősebb benne a vágy, hogy letaszítsa trónjáról a zsarnoki uralkodót. De egy puccs kudarca végzetes lehet számára, és nem tudhatja, kiben bízhat.
Amikor Iszül és Dejun sorsa keresztezi egymást, kezdeti ellenszenvüknél csak a király iránt érzett gyűlöletük erősebb. Iszül családi kapcsolataival és Dejun udvari befolyásával együtt talán esélyt kapnak a lehetetlenre.
