Red Sheet
From bestselling author James Ellroy ('The neo-noir eminence of L.A. crime fiction' The New Yorker) a gritty, fast-paced historical crime thriller set in 1962 Los Angeles during the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis. 'A mesmerising crime thriller full of corruption, cynicism and sleaze' FINANCIAL TIMES‘Fierce, brave, funny, scatological, beautiful, convoluted, and paranoid’ STEPHEN KING‘The American Dostoyevsky’ JOYCE CAROL OATES'As lysergic, incantatory and forensic as anything he’s ever written' IAN RANKINIt’s late October 1962. The Cuban Missile Crisis has just concluded. The Russkies blinked and pulled their ICBMs out of Cuba. Attorney General Robert Kennedy fears reprisals from seething commies. He orders a red probe and puts the LAPD on the job. Freddy Otash is injudiciously named the lead investigating officer. He’s a stone-cold criminal with police sanction and a harrowing dope habit. He homes in on a red-front trade union. There’s a murder on Halloween night. It may link to ex-VP and current gubernatorial candidate Richard Nixon and two commie snuffs from eight years back. Freddy’s overworked and overamped. He’s running the probe, and Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman—Tricky Dick Nixon’s head goons—have hired him to keep Nixon away from the smear-minded press. L.A. is coming unglued. Ex-cop/lawyer Tom Bradley is running for a city council seat and pushing the Rumford Fair Housing Act. Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner is along for the ride, out to exploit racial tension and peddle untold copies of his smut rag. Red Sheet is James Ellroy’s most crazed kamikaze run and a daring, subversive work of fiction.

Hello, Cruel World!
In the blink of an eye, our kids will be adults facing countless serious threats - climate change, political polarization and disinformation, to name but a few. We''re not going to be able to solve all these intractable problems before our kids grow up - so how are we to prepare them for an impossibly complex and scary future?Plagued by this question, award-winning science journalist Melinda Wenner Moyer interviewed parenting experts and researchers across multiple fields - psychology, education, information literacy, technology, business and even addiction. What she discovered: even in these uncertain times, we can still teach our kids how to take care of themselves, fight for what they believe in and bridge divides in ways most adults aren''t equipped to do.In Hello, Cruel World!, Moyer provides practical, comprehensive, science-backed tools to help our children handle the world they will inherit. Her strategies help children develop three core attributes - coping mechanisms, connection techniques, and cultivation practices - so that kids can learn to set boundaries, take responsibility for their actions, build healthy relationships in turbulent times and much more. By being activists in our parenting, we can set our kids up to not just survive, but also build a better world for themselves and future generations.

Bedtime Stories for Academics
Welcome to Typical University, where Cinderella is an adjunct, the Tortoise and the Hare share a tenure line, Bacchus runs the study abroad office, and everyone is as exhausted and beleaguered as the typical college employee. At Typical, Rumpelstiltskin will not be helpful with the tenure review process. Robin Hood may be breaking rules in the dorms, but that doesn’t mean his resident director wants to be known as the Sheriff of Nottingham Hall. Snow White has her hands full with seven unruly advisees. And that guy at the conference with more of a comment than a question? It might be Narcissus. In Bedtime Stories for Academics, beloved stories from folklore, mythology, and literature are transformed into clever, irreverent satire of university staff and faculty’s everyday challenges. With an arch tone and a biting comedic lens, this collection explores experiences and concerns, such as labour, hierarchy, and identity, shared across the entire population of higher education workers: graduate students confronted with the realities of their new academic career path; postdocs and new instructors grasping for a decent position as their non-academic friends thrive; seasoned professors who’ve seen it all; and the college staff who keep the university running. For current and former students, the stories offer a glimpse at the strife behind the scenes at every institution. For faculty and staff, the tales offer commiseration and hope: if Little Bo Peep, Prometheus, Huckleberry Finn, Pinocchio, Midas, and Ebenezer Scrooge can survive academia, maybe we can too.

Art of War and Peace
<p><b>'[An] excellent study' -- <i>The Telegraph <br><br></i>'A deeply thought-provoking book full of wisdom, insight and common sense, by two of our foremost strategists' -- James Holland, bestselling author of <i>The War in the West <br><br></i> '<i>The Art of War and Peace</i> by David Kilcullen and Greg Mills, a team comprising an American-Australian and a South African, is a metaphor for the international cooperation necessary by which the efforts of good people can succeed over evil.' - General (rtd) Sir Nick Carter, former Chief of the Defence Staff, UK <br><br></b><b>FOREWORD BY SIR NICK CARTER, FORMER UK CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF</b><br>The world is becoming a more dangerous place.

Indigová dedička
Historický román z Ameriky a Škótska z 18. storočia o manželstve z rozumu.
Celý svoj život strávila na plantáži vo Virgínii. Nič iné nepozná. Mohol by ju však čakať osud na vzdialenom pobreží?
Juliet Catesbyová žije s otcom a sestrou v Royal Vale na plantáži James River, ktorú založila jej rodina pred viac ako sto rokmi. Najviac ju zamestnáva pestovanie indiga, avšak jeho vývoz spája Catesbyovcov s mocným klanom Buchananovcov v škótskom Glasgowe.
Keď na pobrežie Ameriky prichádza dedič buchananovského impéria, Juliet zisťuje, že jej otec zariadil, aby sa tento Škót oženil s jednou z jeho dcér, čím budú splatené obrovské dlhy. Juliet si je istá, že nevestou sa stane jej mladšia a krajšia sestra, a tak ju ohromí, keď si Leith Buchanan nevyberie Loveday, ale ju.
Napriek počiatočnému vzdoru si Juliet uvedomí, že potom, čo sa zaplietla do škandálu, má len jednu možnosť, a to utiecť z Virgínie. Jej jedinou nádejou je loď, ktorá práve odchádza do Glasgowa. Čoskoro však prichádza na to, že stať sa súčasťou rozsiahleho a vypočítavého klanu Buchananovcov, nie je práve ten pokojný život, ktorý si predstavovala. A že muž, ktorý ju zachránil pred katastrofou, je zároveň mužom, ktorého musí na oplátku teraz zachrániť ona.

Graysonov sľub
Manželstvo za peniaze, láska na nezaplatenie
Kira Dallairová je zúfalá. Čo najskôr sa musí vydať, aby získala dedičstvo po zosnulej starej mame. Inak zostane vydaná na milosť a nemilosť svojmu bohatému násilníckemu otcovi. S minimom peňazí a ešte menším počtom možností vymyslí dokonalý, aj keď trochu impulzívny plán.
Grayson Hawthorn stráca nádej. Ako bývalý trestanec s obmedzenými finančnými možnosťami má pocit, že jeho sľub oživiť rodinné vinárstvo je odsúdený na neúspech. Aspoň kým do jeho pracovne nevstúpi mladá žena s neobvyklým návrhom – výhodným manželstvom z rozumu, ktoré jednoducho nemôže odmietnuť.
Živelná a temperamentná Kira núti odmeraného a arogantného Graysona, aby od života očakával viac. Súboj ich vôlí prerastie v prudkú vášeň a náhle uvedomenie, že minulosť niekedy vytvára prekážky, ktoré je ťažké prekonať, a že klamstvá a podvody len málokedy vedú k šťastnému koncu.

Príbeh skupiny ABBA: Skrytá melanchólia
Fenomén skupiny ABBA nemá v dejinách hudby obdobu. Legendárnej švédskej popovej formácii dodnes pribúdajú poslucháči a jej hity si ľudia spievajú a tancujú na ne už viac ako polstoročie od ich vzniku. Uznávaný švédsky hudobný publicista Jan Gradvall získal v roku 2013 exkluzívny prístup k členom skupiny, s ktorými mal aj dovtedy blízky novinársky vzťah. Následne ich zhruba desať rokov spovedal, výsledkom čoho je táto kniha. Agnetha, Björn, Benny a Anni-Frid sa v nej delia o svoje osobné príbehy, myšlienky i názory na vlastnú hudbu, a to otvorenejšie než kedykoľvek predtým.
Gradvall ozrejmuje, ako úspech skupiny formovali okrem melodickej brilantnosti aj ambície či emocionálna rozorvanosť jej členov. Zároveň dôkladne približuje kontext, v akom vznikol jedinečný zvuk Abby. Podáva tak aj príbeh o Švédsku i globalizácii popkultúry.
Čitatelia sa dozvedia aj mnohé zaujímavosti, napríklad ako Abbu ovplyvnil fenomén švédskej tanečnej hudby dansband či ako sa miestna daňová legislatíva odzrkadlila na vzhľade jej kostýmov.

To jediné, čo nám zostane
Tridsaťtriročná Iris nosí celý svoj život v jednom kufri. Neustále je na cestách, bez istoty, bez koreňov. Osemnásťročný Théo sa zasa naučil nemať sny, lebo zakaždým, keď sa nenaplnia, to bolí viac než ich absencia. Sedemdesiatštyriročná Jeanne sa obzerá späť a premýšľa, čo jej z vlastného života vlastne zostalo.
Tri generácie, tri osamelé bytosti, ktoré sa nemali nikdy stretnúť.
A predsa ich náhoda – alebo niečo, čo sa na ňu len podobá – spojí pod jednou strechou v nečakanej spoločnej domácnosti. Spočiatku nedobrovoľné spolunažívanie sa pomaly mení na krehké puto, v ktorom má každý z nich svoje miesto.
To jediné, čo nám zostane je nežný, hlboko ľudský román o stratách, samote, chudobe a starnutí, ale aj o humore, nádeji a sile drobných gest. Virginie Grimaldiová rozpráva s ľahkosťou a empatiou o veciach, o ktorých sa často mlčí, bez zbytočného pátosu a klišé, ale láskavo a výstižne.
