The Burning of the White House
It's unimaginable today, even for a generation that saw the Twin Towers fall and the Pentagon attacked. It's unimaginable because in 1814 enemies didn't fly overhead, they marched through the streets; and for 26 hours in August, the British enemy marched through Washington, D.C. and set fire to government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Relying on first-hand accounts, historian Jane Hampton Cook weaves together several different narratives to create a vivid, multidimensional account of the burning of Washington, including the escalation that led to it and the immediate aftermath. From James and Dolley Madison to the British admiral who ordered the White House set aflame, historical figures are brought to life through their experience of this unprecedented attack. The Burning of the White House is the story of a city invaded, a presidential family displaced, a nation humbled, and an American spirit that somehow remained unbroken.

Poznaj svoje EMÓCIE a rozprávaj sa s nimi
Kniha učí čitateľa premeniť svoje negatívne emócie na emócie pozitívne. Učí sebariadeniu emócii. Robí tak pomocou brilantného systému dialógov. Učí čitateľa viesť vnútorný dialóg tak, že vytvára jasný algoritmus, ktorý negatívnu emóciu zoslabuje, pozitívnu posilňuje a človek si vytvára nové myšlienkové „okuliare“. Čitateľ si vytvorí nový „automatický vnútorný hlas“. Ak človek číta desiatky dialógov, mozog si vytvorí nové frázy, nový tón, nový spôsob reakcie na seba, nový štýl argumentácie. To je presne ten návyk, ktorý človek potrebuje, aby zvládal úzkosti, reguloval hnev, posilnil sebavedomie, a zlepšil sebaprijatie. Toto je extrémne účinné a učí čitateľa priamo, názorne, opakovane a to je presne to, čo ľuďom chýba v ich vlastnej hlave.
I Could Read the Sky
'Think about a tune ... the unsayable, the invisible, the longing in music. Here is a book of tunes without musical notes ... It wrings the heart' John Berger'The voice that O'Grady has crafted succeeds so well ... running in parallel, Pyke's stark arresting images are laced between the paragraphs and chapters. The interplay between the two mediums is delicately powerful' Hilary White'A masterpiece' Robert Macfarlane'O'Grady does not just respond to Pyke's stark, beautiful photographs: he gives voice to thousands' Louise Kennedy'The experience of Irish emigration uniquely and powerfully illuminated' Mark Knopfler'If the words tell the story of the voiceless, the bleak lovely photographs show their faces. Fiction rarely gets as close to the messy, glorious truth as do memories and photographs. This rare novel dares to use both' Charlotte Mendelson, TLSAn old man lies alone and sleepless in London. Before dawn he is taken by an image from his childhood in the West of Ireland, and begins to remember a migrant's life. Haunted by the faces and the land he left behind, he calls forth the bars and boxing booths of England, the potato fields and building sites, the music he played and the woman he loved. Timothy O'Grady's tender, vivid prose and Steve Pyke's starkly beautiful photographs combine to make a unique work of fiction, an act of remembering suffused with loss, defiance and an unforgettable loveliness. An Irish life with echoes of the lives of unregarded migrant workers everywhere. Since it was first published in 1997, I Could Read the Sky has achieved the status of a classic.

Együtt túlélhetik a történelem legsötétebb korszakát?
A hűség összeköt - de az árulás szétszakít
Párizs, 1940. A várost elfoglalták a nácik, három fiatal varrónő a lehetőségekhez képest igyekszik élni mindennapi életét. Mireille-t megsebezte a háború: bekapcsolódik az Ellenállásba; Claire-t elcsábítja egy német tiszt; Vivienne pedig olyasmit tett, amit egyik lakótársának se mer elmondani.
Két generációval később Claire unokája Párizsba érkezik. Angliában nőtt fel, most megpróbálja feltárni, mi történt a háború alatt. Ugyanabban a házban lakik és dolgozik, mint annak idején a nagyanyja, és a tudomására jut valami: a családi múlt fájdalmas titkot rejt.
A három varrónőnek csupa rossz választással kellett szembenéznie. Nem volt kiút. Veszélybe sodorta őket az illegális tevékenység, de a végsőkig kitartottak egymás mellett. Hogyan tudták túlélni ezt a sötét, kilátástalan időszakot?
Rozkvetlá
Jedna věří ve fakta, druhá v hvězdy – obě v sílu přátelství Andrea – organizovaná, zodpovědná workoholička, nedůvěřivá realistka, úzkostlivá matka. Jolanta – nedochvilná, přirozená, otevřená umělkyně spatřující dobro v každém člověku, svobodomyslná matka. Jedna dělá vědecký průzkum před každým životním rozhodnutím – druhá věří v postavení hvězd, homeopatii a sílu přírody. Neslučitelné povahy svede dohromady konflikt jejich potomků.
Román o tom, že otevření srdce navzdory předsudkům může zasít semínko nečekaně silného přátelství. O tom, jak nás mohou v životě ovlivnit lidé, s nimiž bychom za běžných okolností prohodili sotva pár slov. O tom, že zkoušet nové věci se vyplatí. A taky o tom, že nikdy není pozdě

The Rise of the Celestials
Internationally bestselling author Kritika H. Rao weaves a stunning tale of love, seduction, and betrayal in this enchanting and romantic conclusion to the Divine Dancers duology that started with The Legend of Meneka
Joseph Banks
Botanist, explorer, President of the Royal Society and one of Australia’s founding fathers. Sir Joseph Banks was among the most influential figures of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a young man he accompanied Captain Cook on his voyage of discovery to Australia, in later years he was instrumental in establishing Kew Gardens as the greatest botanical centre in the world and he knew just about everybody who mattered in the scientific circles of the time. Patrick O'Brian's masterly biography draws on much hitherto unpublished material. Far from being the colossus of science traditionally imagined, Joseph Banks emerges here as a warm-hearted enthusiast whose legacy survives not only in the record of his botanizing in the South Seas but in the development of the Australian continent and in the tenor and tradition of subsequent scientific inquiry.

Nagato-class Battleships 1920–46
An illustrated study of Japan’s Nagato-class battleships: the IJN’s powerful super-dreadnoughts, which were heavily modernized to fight in World War II. Illustrated with the author’s much-acclaimed 3D reconstructions, naval researcher Stefan Draminski offers a technical and operational study of Nagato and Mutsu, Japan’s most powerful battleships of the dreadnought era. They were the world’s first battleships to mount 16-inch guns, and signalled Japan’s determination to build a fleet that qualitatively outmatched the world’s leading navies. Entering service in the 1920s, they would be heavily modernized before the outbreak of the Pacific War, which Nagato would start as Yamamoto’s flagship for the Pearl Harbor attack. Both ships were present at the Battle of Midway, and though Mutsu would be sunk by a magazine explosion in 1943, Nagato fought at Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf, before being modified again and moored at Yokosuka as an antiaircraft battery. The last Japanese battleship afloat on VJ-Day, Nagato was sunk in 1946 at Bikini Atoll in the Crossroads nuclear test. Drawing on Japanese-language sources and original documentation, this is a concisely detailed account of these formidable battleships, superbly illustrated with archive photos and artwork showing the ships through their careers and in action.
Paradiso 17
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2026 ‘Miraculous’ OMAR EL AKKAD ‘Stunning’ MAAZA MENGISTE ‘Suffused with tenderness’ NEW YORK TIMES ‘Beautiful and powerful’ LISA OWENS ‘Wondrous’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH An extraordinary, sweeping novel following one man's itinerant search for home across the globe, after his childhood exile from Palestine. All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe. Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. In this moment time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward – although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the forgetful assurance of wine. When life carries him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls in love with a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Until finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of a desert much like his first home. Paradiso 17 is haunted with grief and yet it is also struck through with the dazzling light of a life truly lived and a love that connects us, no matter our distance. Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins. Listen, this is his story. ‘An exquisite novel … unforgettable’ OMAR EL AKKAD, author of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This ‘I could not put this down … Compassionate, elegiac and suffuse with unflinching wit’ MAAZA MENGISTE, author of The Shadow King ‘A gripping story of a soul in exile’ JUSTIN TORRES, author of Blackouts ‘A miraculous novel’ KASIM ALI, author of Who Will Remain ‘Remarkable … read it, read it, read it’ RABIH ALAMEDDINE, author of The True True Story of Raja the Gullible ‘Lyrical and gorgeously original … reads as poetry’ LITHUB
Lifeboat at the End of the World
'Unflinchingly candid and extraordinarily powerful' DAILY TELEGRAPH ‘Dominic Gregory hasn’t just delivered a survey of courage and determination – Lifeboat at the End of the World is a hymn to human decency, and that makes it a very timely book indeed’ TIM WINTON Do you really think all lives are worth saving? On the empty shingle beach of Dungeness, the volunteer crew of the lifeboat await her next launch. It might come in another week. Or it might even happen in the next few seconds… For two hundred years, the Dungeness lifeboat has launched in storms and heavy seas to frigates and barques, trawlers and dinghies. Like all lifeboat stations in the British Isles, it is led by a coxswain and staffed by volunteers. Dominic Gregory volunteers as part of her crew. Dungeness is itself a place apart. An ever-shifting expanse of shingle jutting into the English Channel, it is overshadowed by its nuclear power station and made famous by Derek Jarman’s flotsam garden. Dungeness also has where millions of migrating birds and insects first make landfall in the British Isles. As a small place perhaps, but one that finds itself now at the centre of one of the biggest political stories of modern times. At the heart of this wonderful book is the lifeboat crew with whom Dominic Gregory serves, many of them from families who have volunteered for generations. These are remarkable yet ordinary men and women – who serve as shore crew, or boat crew, or who keep the records and brew the tea. All, in their different ways, give up their time, livelihoods and safety to brave wind, tide and storms, not to mention the peril of navigating between the vast floating skyscrapers that make up so much of modern shipping. Then there is coxswain Stuart Adams whose quiet, competent leadership ensures he acts as the still point in a spinning world. Lifeboat at the End of the World is the first book to depict the experience of what it is like to volunteer on a lifeboat: the smells of the water, the little knots when an alarm comes, how the crew is trained, the teamwork and trust, the ethos of the service. But it is when inflatable dinghies – overloaded with people – begin arriving on the shores of Dungeness that the lifeboat crew must face perhaps their greatest test. Dominic Gregory’s non-fiction writing offers extraordinary power and immediacy. While most of us will never serve in a lifeboat, we might find ourselves thankful for their unflinching and fearless assistance at sea.

Nine Months That Count Forever
From the author of the no. 1 internationally bestselling Glucose Revolution, the must-have guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition
Most pregnant women are told: "Don't worry - eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what he needs from you." But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy shapes your baby's brain, body, and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules - until now.
When biochemist Jessie Inchauspe became pregnant, she sifted through hundreds of studies and uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby's development in the womb; yet most women don't get nearly enough of the first three-and too much of the fourth. And the effects can last a lifetime.
In 9 Months That Count Forever, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to optimise these four nutrients, and help give your baby a stronger foundation for life. These principles can:
- Support your baby's brain development, cognitive growth, and emotional resilience
- Lower the risk of asthma, allergies, and diabetes later in life
- Influence your baby's body composition, organ function, and long-term metabolism
Complete with guidance on supplements, nausea, labour, breastfeeding, as well as meal plans and recipes, 9 Months That Count Forever also shares Jessie's deeply honest account of her own pregnancy journey, offering support and reassurance through these crucial months.
This landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy-and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.
