The Vanity Fair Diaries
'Hang on - it's a wild ride' Meryl Streep'Brilliant, concretely realised social history as much as a fabulous odyssey, and I read it in a mad frenzy' Stephen Fry'Indiscreet, brilliantly observed, frequently hilarious' Evening Standard'As delightful as eating a whole box of chocolates, without a trace of weight gain' Telegraph'Heaven' India Knight, Sunday Times***It's 1983. A young Englishwoman arrives in Manhattan on a mission. Summoned in the hope that she can save Condé Nast's troubled new flagship Vanity Fair, Tina Brown is plunged into the maelstrom of competitive New York media. She survives the politics and the intrigue by a simple stratagem: succeeding. Here are the inside stories of the scoops and covers that sold millions: the Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore. Written with dash and verve, the diary is also a sharply observed account of New York and London society. In its cinematic pages the drama, comedy and struggle of raising a family and running an 'it' magazine come to life.
Novel Crime Scenes

James’s Devices and Desire? ovel Crime Scenes explores the landscapes of twenty crime novels in forensic detail. Beginning with the Devon moorland of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1899) and ending with London’s Brick Lane as described in Ajay Chowdhury’s The Waiter (2021), it ranges from John Buchan’s Galloway Hills and Gwen Moffat’s Cape Wrath to Ellis Peters’s Shropshire, Margery Allingham’s Essex, Colin Dexter’s Oxford and Sam Llewellyn’s Isles of Scilly. Each chapter also delves into the author’s background and discovers what the setting of the book meant to them, often by following in the footsteps of Britain’s best-known crime writers. Whether you are an armchair detective or an intrepid investigator, this book will inspire you to appreciate old favourites with deeper insights and discover thrilling new literary destinations.
The Colorful World of Reptiles
A beautifully illustrated introduction to reptiles with colorful watercolor art and descriptions full of fun facts. From the creator of the bestselling The Colorful World of Dinosaurs, this follow-up volume introduces fifty amazing reptiles with striking watercolor art and fun facts on each. Beloved author-illustrator Matt Sewell delves into the fascinating, mysterious, and sometimes downright bizarre lives of reptiles, including spectacular snakes, lizards, crocodiles, bearded dragons, turtles, and tortoises. Did you know . . . The oldest known reptilian fossil is 315 million years old!That dinosaurs were also reptiles—though not, as some people think, giant lizards. The green basilisk can walk on water. The Galápagos tortoise can comfortably live for more than one hundred years. The saltwater crocodile is the world’s biggest living reptile (with an average one weighing around one thousand pounds!). The Colorful World of Reptiles explores all these creatures and more—bright, horned, camouflaged, and striped—through gorgeous watercolor illustrations paired with surprising, little-known, and fun-to-tell facts about reptile behavior, habits, and appearance. This fascinating book will delight young readers and beguile reptile fans of all ages.
The Eve of November 7
This dichotomy lies at the heart of the novel, The Eve of November 7, in which two realities clash: the utterly false, morally hollow, grotesquely ugly Soviet reality and the world of the protagonist, fighting for his spiritual survival. In this collision, the dramatic events that the author himself experienced are bizarrely refracted. The novel’s action takes place in the course of one night and unwinds like a powerful spring, continuously impelling one to follow the story’s plot. Love, betrayal, changes of masks, flip-flop images, ghostly guests who care about the future, surreal characters and scenes as well as Kafkaesque psychology–all are imbued with the author’s erudite, insightful and lively prose.
Glitchwork
Glitchwork tracks the uneven lineages of Central India, building on modernist legacies and reckoning with the spectres of the 1984 Bhopal disaster. Mantra Mukim’s debut poetry collection is situated in a timeless, forested grid, poised on the verge of industrial erasure. This grid, a restless site of extraction and production, also brims with potential for lushness, fey ambience, and petite clearings. Its three long poems consist of fragments on a mysterious Cold War ‘plant’, remixes of Surdas (the medieval-Braj poet), notes on palaeolithic hands, philology of the line, anomalies in a lunar-roving vehicle, and the origin myths of Raipur.
The Luck of the Town
"Much more than a ghost story... One might say that Fox is haunted by the spirit of the place and time of which she writes, and she is able to reproduce in a remarkable way that sense of foreboding and mystery that all of us have experienced." The ArgusWhere once a Romano-British settlement sprawled across the hills in the north of England, there lies a modern town. Caught in a tense struggle between the growth of the university and industrial expansion, its fate veers towards the uncanny when a discovery is made beneath the old town hall. Into the possession of the university comes the skeleton of a woman, found buried along with a mysterious tablet bearing a cryptic message, and as the ratcheting tension between the townspeople is compounded by an unseasonal heat and sightings of a shadowlike figure haunting the streets, the vengeful grip of a long-buried curse pushes the town towards a night of flames and carnage.
Death in a Shetland Family

How Stress Works
'Read this and add at least a fortnight to your life.' – Jeremy Vine'Real, down-to-earth and urgently needed.' – Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand WeeksWhy do we feel stress? And how can we change thing? ow Stress Works is a pioneering collaboration between leading researcher Richard Mackenzie and journalist Peter Walker. Investigating the science of stress hormones, real-life case studies, the history of stress, societal factors and how they interact with stress, Mackenzie and Walker explain exactly how stress works, and what we can do to mitigate its long-term health impact. This is the book exploring the nuances of stress and how it affects you. You’ll learn how stress impacts and interacts with:Your hormonesWeightType 2 diabetesYour work and socio-economic statusFertility and pregnancyEarly childhood and upbringingPlus practical and adaptable strategies for coping with stress at home and at workPacked with conversation-starting science and stories, How Stress Works answers the important questions and busts common myths. Did you know that low-carb diets can increase cortisol levels, as can HIIT exercise, causing insulin and glucose surges? Or that stress hormones can affect fertility for all genders? Mackenzie and Walker dive into society and stress, considering if the higher rate of type two diabetes in disadvantaged communities is entirely due to lack of healthy food and exercise – or is the stress of poverty itself a major facto? ne thing is clear: stress is complex and personal, with many contributing factors. In How Stress Works, the authors present the view that much (if not most) stress is caused by factors outside of your control. It’s not your fault if you’re stressed. But having the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in your body when stress occurs is a powerful step towards minimizing it.
Goyle, Chert, Mire
A vital and vivid poetry collection about place, time, illness and recovery'This is a profound, enduring collection' Guardian, Best New PoetryEach of the three sections in Goyle, Chert, Mire focuses on one of the distinctive elements characteristic of the Blackdown Hills – a little-known, sparsely populated area straddling the border between Somerset and Devon – and in particular the remote springline valley where the author lives. In this unique landscape, relatively unchanged over the centuries, the past is so evident that it can come to seem indistinguishable from the present. Illness causes a similar slippage in an individual’s sense of time. The poems trace an overlapping narrative of meningitis and the cognitive symptoms – at once distorting and revelatory – that came in its aftermath. In company with Geoffrey Hill, Ted Hughes and Pauline Stainer, Goyle, Chert, Mire employs a tough lyricism and taut line to scrutinise the natural world through historical and personal lenses. Alert to texture and temperature, humanity and history, time passing and time standing still, these poems are a deep examination of landscape, body and mind. 'Jean Sprackland’s poems are an uncommon pleasure to read' Observer‘Accessible but worth close reading, she is among the best of her generation’ Herald'She reinvents experience for us, while putting us in closer touch with it' George Szirtes
Talking Classics
What's exciting about a piece of bread 4,000 years old? Or some pots of paint abandoned in the eruption at Pompeii? Why should we be bothered with the distant past anyway? What's the point?
The life, art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome have something to offer everyone. They are not the property of wealthy white men only. They make us wonder how to make sense of people who lived long ago (from angry landlords to giggling senators) - and to think harder about our own world, to look at it differently.
In Talking Classics, Mary Beard points to the surprising connections between antiquity and the present. From revolutionaries to dictators, Bob Dylan to Beyoncé, she joins forces with the varied modern characters who have been transfixed by the ancient world. It's not compulsory, she argues, to be excited by antiquity, but it's a shame not to be.
After half a century teaching and studying classics, she fills the book with lively stories, curious facts and some good gossip. Talking Classics explains why the deep past does really affect us all.
Tieň nad lesom
Keď sa vo veľkom mravenisku nad obcou S. v oblasti Jämtland nájde mŕtve telo, kriminalistom v Strömsunde príde na pomoc s vyšetrovaním Olivia Rönningová.
Nájdenému mŕtvemu telu chýba hlava. Odtlačky prstov obete sa nenachádzajú v žiadnom úradnom registri a v tejto oblasti už vyše dvadsať rokov nenahlásili zmiznutie osoby. Miesto hrozného nálezu sa nachádza neďaleko starého kultového miesta, kde forenzní technici objavia stopy krvi.
Obcou S. sa šíri nepokoj. Nikto sa neopováži chodiť do lesa za bieleho dňa, nieto ešte po zotmení. Hoci v minulosti sa obec takmer vyľudnila, v priebehu posledných desaťročí sa opäť zaplnila novými obyvateľmi, ochrancami prírody, Štokholmčanmi aj Holanďanmi. Obyvatelia akceptovali cudzincov aj čudákov. A Bolundovci, rodina neonacistov, sa držali v úzadí.
Dobré vzťahy, panujúce v obci, sú zrazu ohrozené. Miestni obyvatelia nespolupracujú a čoraz neochotnejšie odpovedajú na Oliviine otázky.
Na vyriešenie záhady si napokon musí prizvať na pomoc Toma Stiltona a Mette Olsäterovú.

Dosť dobrá
Memoáre prvej Američanky, ktorá zdolala Everest bez kyslíka.
Keď Melissa Arnot Reidová ako dvadsaťsedemročná prijala tesne pod vrcholom Everestu kyslíkovú masku, pocítila zdrvujúce zlyhanie. No práve tento moment sa stal začiatkom jej najťažšieho výstupu – k vlastnému ja. V memoároch Dosť dobrá mapuje svoju cestu od búrlivého detstva cez adrenalínové výpravy až po historický výkon: ako prvá Američanka vystúpila na Mount Everest bez doplnkového kyslíka.
Vo svete, kde dominujú muži, si vydobyla rešpekt silou, vytrvalosťou a nezlomnou vôľou. No jej najväčšími výzvami neboli výškové tábory, ale vnútorné priepasti – strata, samota a hľadanie odpustenia.
Strhujúce memoáre o tom, čo znamená uspieť – nie pred svetom, ale pred sebou samým.
Věrní a padlí 4: Hněv
Čtvrtá kniha z kultovní série Věrní a padlí od uznávaného autora fantasy Johna Gwynna
Události v Zemích vyhnanců vrcholí, válka dosahuje nových výšin. Král Nathair ovládl pevnost Drassil a tři ze sedmi Pokladů má ve svém držení. Společně s Calidem a svou spojenkyní, královnou Rhin, udělá Nathair cokoli, aby získal i zbývající Poklady. Se všemi sedmi ve svém vlastnictví totiž může otevřít bránu do Zásvětí. Pak bude Asroth a jeho horda démonů konečně moci vtrhnout do Zemí vyhnanců a získat tělesnou podobu.
Corban byl mezitím zajat Jötuny — obry válečníky, kteří vyrážejí do boje na obrovských medvědech. Corbanovo vojsko bylo rozprášeno a on musí, pokud má přežít, najít nové spojence. Ale dokáže si získat důvěru znepřátelených obřích klanů? Nějak to dokázat musí — má-li být schopen čelit hrozbě, kterou představuje Nathair.
V sázce je jeho život — a s ním i osud Zemí vyhnanců.
