Obelists At Sea
A forgotten Golden Age classic, set aboard a luxury transatlantic cruise liner – the perfect holiday read!
The lights go off aboard the luxury transatlantic cruise liner, Meganaut, as it makes its way from New York to Paris. In the darkness, a gunshot rings out. And when the light is restored, a man is found dead in the smoking room.
But the situation becomes more complicated when the passengers realise that the deceased had apparently ingested cyanide just seconds before being shot.
There are four psychiatrists aboard and they convince the captain to let them take a stab at solving the crime. Will their knowledge of the human psyche be a help or a hindrance? And can they figure out the puzzle’s solution before the killer strikes again?

The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance
BEHIND EVERY HERO, THERE'S A HISTORIAN
An ambitious young scholar is sent to research the mysteries of an adventurer's inn - only to uncover a centuries-old secret in this heart-warming and poignant fantasy.
Mount Vengeance is legendary, a monumental climb with a dragon at its peak.
For most, it's an adventure, or a quest to prove themselves worthy of fame and glory.
For Ainsworth, it's perfect thesis material.
Ainsworth Gladsly, ambitious young scholar, research fellow and up-and-coming historian is finally ready to make his mark on the world. When his supervisor learns of a rustic inn at the foot of the legendary Mount Vengeance, she sends him to be the first to document the exploits of the bold adventurers who face the perils of the mountain - and the dragon said to inhabit it.
But the inn is far from the sophisticated city life he's grown to love, and even as he grudgingly warms to its rustic charm - and its lovely innkeeper, Honey - the mystery of the mountain refuses to reveal itself. Worse, Ainsworth can't find evidence that anyone has ever undertaken the climb - every adventurer comes to the inn, stays for a single night, and then returns home.
And with Ainsworth's reputation as an academic on the line, it's a mystery he can't allow to remain unsolved - even if he has to push the adventurers up the mountain himself.
The Sentinel State
Countering recent hype around technology, a leading expert argues that the endurance of dictatorship in China owes less to facial recognition AI and GPS tracking than to the human resources of the Leninist surveillance state.
China watchers long argued that economic liberalization and prosperity would be harbingers of democracy. Instead, the Communist Party's grip has strengthened. How? The answer lies in the effectiveness of the surveillance state. And the source of that effectiveness is not just facial recognition AI and phone tracking. Technology is important, but what matters more is China's vast army of domestic spies.
Central government surveillance data is confidential, so Minxin Pei turned to local reports, police gazettes, leaked documents, and interviews with exiled dissidents to provide a detailed look at the evolution, organization, and tactics of the surveillance state. Following the 1989 Tiananmen uprising, the Party invested in a coercive apparatus operated by a small number of secret police capable of mobilizing millions of citizen informants. The Party's Leninist bureaucratic structure-whereby officials and activists penetrate every sector of the economy and civil society, from universities to delivery companies to monasteries-ensures that Beijing's eyes and ears are everywhere.
Rigorously empirical and rich in historical insight, The Sentinel State is a singular contribution to our knowledge about Chinese state coercion and, more generally, the survival strategies of authoritarian regimes.
The Shampoo Effect
OVER ONE LONG SUMMER, WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT COME OUT IN THE WASH?
When writer Caroline Lash arrives in Greenhead, she falls immediately for its scenic beaches and New England charm - and even harder for Van Whittaker, a gorgeous, fleece-wearing, litter-collecting, kayak enthusiast.
She meets his friends: Augusta, old money and uptight; Fran, drowning in everyone else's problems whilst keeping two kids (and an inebriated husband) afloat; and Bailey, who is sexy, confident… and inconveniently pregnant with Van's child.
Determined nothing will dull the shine of her new romance, Caroline joins the friends as they run wild through Greenhead, drinking on houseboats, gossiping on beaches while their children paddle, and playing risky games.
It seems the fun will last forever - until it doesn't. As decades-old friendships and marriages begin to fracture, Caroline's place in their world is called into question. And with all the group's most tightly held secrets at stake, who knows what might come out?
Dazzlingly funny, sexy, and as juicy as it is astute, The Shampoo Effect is a story of late-night parties, early mornings with small children, and old friends finally growing up - despite all their best efforts.
Upland
The first complete history of Britain's mountains, capturing their beauty, tragedy and the pivotal role of these dramatic landscapes in the nation's past and future
'A definitive history of our rocky isles from the most magisterial and far-seeing perspective. Every page holds a fascinating nugget' GAIA VINCE, author of Nomad Century
Britain's mountains are our grandest and wildest places, their vast openness providing inspiration and escape. But they are now so revered that we overlook the many peoples who long inhabited them and the dramatic history of plunder and dispossession that explains how strangely empty these regions have become.
Derided for centuries as uncivilised wastes, Britain's uplands in fact hosted richly cultured, distinctive and resilient populations. And yet by the time Romantic poets 'discovered' the beauty of these places, the land itself had been denuded by clearances, famine and the needs of sheep and landowners.
From the earliest Brittonic tribes to present-day tensions between farmers, tourists and ecological activists, Upland repopulates Britain's mountains with the kings and monks, soldiers and poets, engineers and industrialists, visionaries and campaigners who made them what they are.
When a Rhino Has to Wait
When a restless little rhino has to WAIT, a speeding CHARGE may follow, and a racing, anything-but-still rhino can be BIG trouble. But what every little one must understand is that WAITs don’t just get in the way, they’re what builds up to the best part of your day!Dynamic illustrations reveal not only the many positives to waiting patiently but the playful possibilities of living in the moment. A swimming pool SPLASH or a scrumptious soup SLURP might be minutes or hours away, but there’s so many things to do in the meantime. Draw, take a deeeeep breath, daydream. For little rhinos (or readers) who let their imaginations run wild instead of their feet, time spent waiting can be sweet, surprising, or even spectacular. A rushing romp through some of each day’s toughest tests of time, this rhino-sized adventure is ready to trample the stigma around waiting and roar out its secret fun, offering creative suggestions on how little ones can productively and patiently spend downtime. Perfect for young readers who have trouble sitting still (and for grown-ups who have heard “Are we there yet?” more than a few times), this fun picture book proves that, sometimes, the best things really do come to those who wait.

Értelmes szenvedés: A Boldogság ÚK
"Modern világunkban mindannyian a boldogságot kergetjük: fényesebb karrierért, jobb kocsiért, kellemesebb életkörülményekért, külföldi nyaralásért robotolunk – de vajon boldognak is érezzük magunkat, ha vágyaink teljesülnek? Igazat mondanak-e irigyelt ismerőseink családi fotói, ahol még a kutya is tökéletesnek látszik, vagy mindez csupán a látszat?
Szendi Gábor szerint az élvezetközpontú, anyagias boldogságeszmény elszakadt attól az evolúció során kialakult és mindannyiunkban meglévő, bonyolult és gazdag élménytől, amely az akadályokkal való megküzdés eredménye, a boldogság igazi kulcsa. A boldogság ugyanis nem tétlen pihenés, hanem folytonos úton lét: áldozatos munka, kétség és remény, elismertség és mellőzöttség, siker és kudarc váltakozása.
Az Értelmes szenvedés: a boldogság az agykutatás, a genetika és az antropológia eredményeire támaszkodva bizonyítja be, hogy a boldogságot a saját küldetésünk felismerése, a sorsunkban rejlő lehetőségek kibontakoztatásáért vállalt felelősség és a minket éltető közösséghez való hazatalálás jelenti. Szendi részletesen bemutatja a boldogság evolúcióját és pszichológiáját, de gyakorlati útmutatást is nyújt olvasójának. Ugyanis soha nem késő! A boldogság képesség, amely mindannyiunkban ott szunnyad – vegyük kezünkbe a sorsunkat, és tanuljunk meg élni vele!"
