Heart the Lover
Our narrator understands good love stories - their secrets, their highs and free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the rules.
She was in her senior year of college when star students Sam and Yash swept her into an intoxicating world of academic fervour, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. Their lives became quickly intertwined - with friendship but also with unpredictable passions and the intimations of first love.
Decades later, she is a successful writer, living a comfortable life with her husband and children, when a surprise visit brings the past crashing into the present, forcing her to confront the decisions and deceptions of her youth.

But as the sun comes out, so do the secrets.
Between complicated love lives and the messy realities of middle age, this getaway might just be their most dramatic yet.
Scandals, revelations and questionable decisions are guaranteed when this group of gloriously imperfect, perimenopausal and fun-loving friends reunite.

The Railway Murders
The vast majority of Britain’s railways were built between 1825 and 1900. By the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth century, over one-hundred different railway companies were operating in Britain on more than 22,000 miles of railway track. Although these new railways brought prosperity to the nation, and enabled goods and passengers to be speedily transported the length and breadth of the country for the first time, this remarkable feat of engineering brought with it some unwelcome side-effects, one of which was crime. A vast number of passengers travel on Britain’s railway network each day, and unfortunately, a considerable amount of crime does occur on our railways. The types of crime committed on Britain’s railways varies considerably from petty or minor crime, to more serious crimes. Most people would consider that the crimes of “murder” and “attempted murder” are amongst the most serious crimes committed in our country, irrespective of where these appalling acts take place. A substantial number of murders and attempted murders have taken place on the railway network of Britain, during its two-hundred years of operation, and details surrounding the vast majority of these cases are revealed in this book, some for the first time. The author has spent many months of research, mainly through old newspaper archives, in order to obtain establish and publish historical information about murders committed on Britain’s railways, many of which have been long forgotten, or lost in the annals of time.

Girl Abroad - Londoni lány
Azért érkezett Londonba, hogy kilépjen az apja árnyékából.
Az nem szerepelt a tervei között, hogy beleszeret a lakótársaiba...
A 19 éves Abbey Bly végre maga mögött akarja hagyni rocksztár apja túlféltő szabályait.
Egy londoni tanulmányút jelenti számára a szabadulás lehetőségét,
egészen addig, míg be nem lép a szállására, és meg nem ismeri váratlan
lakótársait: egy lehengerlően vonzó rögbijátékost és egy titokzatos,
zárkózott zenészt. Viszont egy korábbi dráma miatt bevezetett szabály
szerint egyikükkel sem keveredhet viszonyba.
Két veszélyesen csábító fiú és egy magas rangú család
eltitkolt botránya, amibe a kutatómunkája kapcsán keveredik bele,
hamarosan titkok, perzselő vonzalom
és sorsfordító döntések örvényébe keverik a lányt.
Ha Abbey szerelemre, válaszokra és londoni jövőre vágyik,
el kell döntenie, mely szabályokat érdemes megszegnie,
és hogy kinek a szívét törje össze.
Az Off-Campus írójának kötetéből

Keith Haring in 3D
A fresh perspective on the work of Keith Haring - one of the world’s most beloved contemporary artists - with a special focus on his three-dimensional work
From the moment he landed in NYC in 1978, Keith Haring took three-dimensional objects - whether discards on the street, household appliances, or subway walls - as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies inspired creative connections beyond the boundaries of the art world: Haring collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an now-famous session during which he made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. Although his career was brief, Keith Haring’s sculpture practice was a significant and integral facet of his extensive oeuvre, with his three-dimensional artworks found in museums and art collections worldwide.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Keith Haring in 3Dilluminates this rarely explored dimension of Haring’s work, and its role in his enduring legacy. The book’s generous format and engaging design, including more than 350 illustrations, invites readers to immerse themselves in the world Haring created. Featuring archival photographs of Haring at work, stunning reproductions of his art in three dimensions, and a trove of essays by respected curators, scholars, and collectors, Keith Haring in 3D celebrates in stunning detail the buoyant, brilliant work of one of the world’s most iconic artists.

Ascent
THE STORY OF HOW A WILD MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE EVOLVED INTO AN ELITE OLYMPIC SPORT'Why is the best blood of England to waste itself in scaling hitherto inaccessible peaks, in staining the eternal snow, and reaching the unfathomable abyss never to return?’ - The Times, 1865In the 1950s, rock climbing was a wild mountain adventure that was defined by a rebellious, bohemian culture and practised by small groups of amateur enthusiasts. Today, rock-climbing has become a professionalised, high-performance, mass-participation Olympic sport. There are now more than 400 climbing walls and over 500,000 people climb regularly in the UK. Ascent tells the story of this remarkable transformation. Anthony King – a dedicated climber himself – traces the sport’s evolution through decades of rebellion, innovation and achievement to its place today as a vibrant, diverse culture. His own experiences colour the narrative; we discover not just how climbing developed, but what it feels like to climb and be a climber. More than just a history of the sport, through this story we also see how British society itself has changed. Expansive, immediate and deeply engaging, Ascent is both cultural sport history and lived experience.
The Throne
From the crowning of Charles III, thirty-nine coronations have been held in Westminster Abbey since the Norman Conquest. Only two monarchs – Edward V and Edward VIII – were uncrowned, and a further twenty or so Scottish monarchs were crowned elsewhere, usually at either Scone Abbey or Holyrood Abbey. In The Throne, Ian Lloyd turns his inimitable, quick-witted style to these key events in British royal history, providing fascinating anecdotes and interesting facts: William the Conqueror’s Christmas Day crowning, during which jubilant shouts were mistaken by his guards as an assassination attempt; the dual coronation of William and Mary in 1689; the pared-back ‘Half Crown-ation’ of William IV; the televised spectacle of Elizabeth II’s 1953 ceremony; and how Charles III’s ceremony brought the British monarchy into modern times. Detailing everything from the famous Coronation Chair made for Edward I and the Crown Jewels to the infamously uncomfortable Gold State Coach – this is a truly spectacular celebration of British culture and the ultimate pomp of royalty.
The World's Last Mammoth and Other Missing Marvels
From the missing pages of the Library of Alexandria to the whereabouts of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, The World's Last Mammoth and other Missing Marvels is a treasure trove of mysterious and long-gone things: absent animals, bygone buildings, missing monarchs, past palaces and more... But all is NOT lost - along the way you'll also find the survivors and modern marvels of things gone by. Explore the lost splendour of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, ponder the fate of historical figures like Cleopatra or Genghis Khan and unravel the mystery behind Amelia Earhart's disappearance. And while we may no longer have dinosaurs, we have fascinating fossils to ogle at instead. We can call the Dodo's closet-living relative, the Nicobar Pigeon, and even though the dancing plague of 1518 is long gone, dance trends like Gangnam style still spread like wildfire today. This book is a thrilling exploration of things long gone but never forgotten. Be warned - you may find yourself getting lost in laughter along the way!
Crossing Communities
War, sectarianism, and imperialism have eroded diversity in the Middle East. While Egypt has been spared the scale of violence devastating Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq, religious nationalism, economic turmoil, and state repression have deepened tensions between Egyptian Muslims and Coptic Christians – the region’s largest Christian community. Within this context, religious difference in contemporary Egypt is often framed through narratives of separation, violence, and decline. Yet beneath the surface of this tumult, most Egyptian Muslims and Christians live together in community and peace. Drawing on years of participant observation, extensive interviews, and the institutional archives of both Muslim and Christian communities in the provincial city of Beni Suef, this compelling work examines overlapping traditions, practices, and histories at Coptic Christian sites frequented by local Muslims to reveal patterns of confident and casual interfaith crossing. Egyptians remain acutely aware of the history of interfaith distrust, separation, and violence but nonetheless sustain flexible, tolerant, and communal relationships. Isaac Friesen offers a significant glimpse into how provincial Egyptians have experienced revolution, empire, neoliberalism, religious revival, globalization, and the state in their everyday lives. With its vivid settings and engaging portraits of communities and individuals, Crossing Communities tells a story not of lost diversity but of a diversity that is dynamic and enduring.
Stainless

It's true that Justine has been around for a few centuries and Keith barely three decades, but they're good for each other: Justine is teaching Keith to take the long view; Keith is reminding her how it feels to be alive. Yet a cohort of criminals, desperate artists, dead-enders, hangers-on, and wanna-bes, undead and otherwise, threaten their curious union. Can love stay untainted in a world of monster? irst published in 1996, Todd Grimson's Stainless is a noir fantasia, a symphony of bloody horror, and a woozy, erotic tour of night-side L.A. Outsider Classics is Dead Ink's resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcasts. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream.
The English House
Beyond the front door... Britain's leading house detective reveals the stories of eight extraordinary buildings'Diverting and illuminating' Guardian'Cruickshank’s enthusiasm for England’s vernacular architecture shines through every infectious sentence of this glorious book... A triumph.' - The Times'A mine of information presented in an effortlessly accessible style. Unlike many books that merely convey stories attached to buildings, this is social and architectural history delivered with forensic insight' - Country Life----------This is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester. It’s the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitafields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. It’s also the story of – among others – a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what Ideal Home’s magazine described in 1926 as Britain’s ‘first modern house’ – in Northampton. Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings. ----------Praise for Dan Cruickshank'Genial, erudite and companionable . . . this heroic and heartfelt book caps a career devoted to [Spitalfields'] heritage.' Spectator'With beguiling erudition, TV historian and local resident Cruickshank tells the story of Spitalfields from Roman times to today . . . This is people’s history at its tastiest.' Sunday Express'A passionate, scholarly energy and involvement with every era of the district's long history come off Spitalfields' pages . . . Absorbing detail.' Times Literary Supplement'Cruickshank writes perceptively and honestly . . . As well as being a fascinating account of a unique area of London, Spitalfields is a timely warning that helps us to appreciate what the city and country risk losing.' Country Life'A delight to read . . . Teaches one how to use one's eyes more intelligently.' -- Jean Seaton, Chair of Judges, PEN Hessell-Tiltman History Prize
