The French Skincare Bible
Let me tell you a secret: you don't need to spend a fortune to get that Parisian glow.
Do you feel overwhelmed by multiple-step skincare routines, intimidated by long lists of ingredients or just exhausted by the sheer number of products available? Do you just want a simple routine that's going to lead to incredible skin? Well, look no further.
Let Dr Marine Vincent, French pharmacist and founder of The French Pharmacy, show you how to look after your skin in a simple, efficient and affordable way.
In these pages, Dr Marine distils all her expert knowledge to focus on simplicity, guiding you through how to establish good habits that will deliver results without any fuss. She will:
- Show you how to build your own skincare routine, no matter your skin type, budget or age
- Give you her top recommended French skincare products (La Roche Posay, Avéne and Bioderma to name a few)
- Provide tailored routines for specific skincare conditions, such as rosacea, acne and eczema, amongst others
- Talk you through the science of skincare and what the different ingredients actually mean
This is Dr Marine's love letter to where she came from; the French pharmacy shelves, the handwritten beauty tips and quiet rituals that shaped her view of skincare as self-care.
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.
How to Get Rich the American Way
How to Get Rich the American Way is based on years of in-depth research by a contrarian academic who become rich himself while developing the book's theories, learning the history of real estate investing, stock trading, get-rich-quick schemes, and financial gurus.
From Nigerian prince scams to the investment manuals of housewives, from the destruction of African Americans' savings in the Freedman's Bank to the surprisingly long history of failing to teach children about money, and from the wit of Benjamin Franklin to the fraud of $0 down real estate infomercials, How to Get Rich the American Way brings an eclectic set of stories to bear on the financial destinies of everyday people. Each chapter includes anecdotes from the author's economic journey, including tales of wild investment ideas, get-rich-quick seminars, and his decade long-quest to apply the lessons of history to his own finances. By the end, to his own very great surprise, he is now a multi-millionaire.
Accessibly written with short, punchy chapters, the book is a thoughtful, realistic, and ultimately encouraging read on the prospects of getting by and getting ahead.

The Odyssey
With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike - a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.
Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original.
The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.
Algoritmus pro dva
Arthur je černá ovce rodiny. Když prohraje sázku, uchází se o místo v Sheldonu, kterému nešéfuje nikdo jiný než Morgana Awracková. Mori mu připomíná všechno, čeho se zřekl.
Mori bojuje s tím, že lidé jako první vidí její věk a gender než její schopnosti. Když jí do firmy přijde Arthur, vytáčí ji vším, co dělá – a ke všemu to je syn majitele významné softwarové firmy a jí se nechce věřit, že je u nich náhodou. Takže když přijde nabídka, aby na rodinné sešlosti předstírala, že je jeho partnerka, souhlasí.

Pepřové pocity
Bůh nenávidí homosexuály, urážejí zavedený řád světa. A když je On sám nepotrestá, musíte se o to postarat vy. I když vám to způsobuje krvavá zranění na těle a pepřové pocity v duši. Kimaniho by nikdy nenapadlo, že v cizí zemi najde kostel, který homosexuály vítá a pomáhá jim. Nikdy by ho nenapadlo, že gayové z Afriky dostávají v Británii azyl jen proto, že jsou gayové. Kimani už nevěřil, že mu bude dovoleno zůstat ve vytoužené zemi, a teď mu přece svitla naděje. Byl už v životě ledasčím: Masajem, samozvaným průvodcem, vykonavatelem Boží vůle, kurýrem bez papírů. Dokáže se stát... homosexuálem?

Blake & Mortimer - The Complete Collection Vol. 8
In this eighth volume of the Complete Collection, the next Blake & Mortimer written - in two parts - by Jean Van Hamme and illustrated by three different artists, brings the reader along on one of Professor Mortimer's favourite activities: archaeology - and if there are echoes of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade in The Curse of the 30 Pieces of Silver, the story is all the better for it. For the third album collected in this volume, The Oath of the Five Lords, the style is more Agatha Christie, with a thriller set in the heart of England that reveals some dark aspects of Captain Blake's career as a spy - giving the character more depth and credibility. Finally, the bonus material goes over the difficulties encountered to produce the first two albums in great detail.

AN ALL-CONSUMING DESIRE. Decades after a rebellion tore through the Isle of Sidhe, Fia Riftborne has learnt three important lessons to survival: keep your head down, don’t draw attention to yourself, and avoid the Sídhe Guard at all costs. That isn’t so easy though when she harbours a secret power, one that would paint a target on her back if discovered. But, after a simple errand goes awry and her explosive power erupts, Fia knows she can no longer hide in the shadows. Only, the swift punishment she expected never materialises. Instead, the elusive General Laryk Ashford offers her a choice: join the Sídhe Guard. . .or face execution. Soon, Fia faces another impossible choice: surrender to the chaos within and risk destroying everything she holds dear or become a weapon in the hands of those who took everything from her. Including the alluring General who is starting to consume her every thought. . .

The blaze leaves scant evidence behind, but the more Field's team uncover in the rubble, the more disturbing the case becomes.

Nature's Memory
A 'compelling, arresting' (New Scientist) behind-the-scenes tour through the world's greatest natural history museums, revealing their hidden secrets Zoologist Jack Ashby spends his life working in Britain's natural history museums, and in Nature's Memory he guides us through a series of extraordinary collections, from marvellous mounted whale skeletons and impossibly tiny insect cabinets to buried treasures in vast museum storehouses. But look more closely at these displays: all is not as it seems. While most exhibits succeed in communicating feelings of wonder and awe - a vital function when less people than ever before have access to the outdoors - Ashby argues that the version of nature natural history museums present does not always reflect reality, with specimens revealing more about the biases of curators than they do about the species they represent. Likewise, the ways in which museums have traditionally told the story of their own histories has disproportionately elevated the contributions of certain kinds of people whilst diminishing the work of others, often ignoring their complex colonial heritage altogether. But Ashby contends that these issues are precisely why it's such an exciting time to be a natural historian, for while society shapes museums, so too can museums shape society - for the good. And as we face the existential threat of cataclysmic biodiversity loss, natural history museums will emerge as indispensable resources in the fight against climate catastrophe. Weaving together fresh historical research, entertaining zoological trivia and insider stories from Ashby's distinguished natural history career, Nature's Memory is a charming ode to the joys, eccentricities and planet-saving potential of the world's best-loved museums.
