A Different Kind of Power
This is not just a book for people who follow politics, but for anyone who has ever doubted themselves, or wanted to make a difference.
The deeply personal memoir from the former prime minister of New Zealand, then the world's youngest female head of government and just the second to become a mother in office.
Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she became a global icon for her empathetic leadership that put people first. She guided her country through unprecedented challenges, from the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks to a global pandemic. She advanced visionary policies to address climate change and child poverty. And all while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye.
This is the inspiring story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt changed our assumptions of what a leader can be. A Different Kind of Power is more than a political memoir. Powerfully evocative and refreshingly open, it is a profound insight into how it feels to lead and it asks: what if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?
Summer Island
From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Women and The Nightingale, Summer Island is a poignant, warm and tender novel about a mother and daughter: the complex ties that bind them, the past that separates them, and the healing that comes with forgiveness.
Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters behind. She has since become a famous radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist beloved for her moral advice, while her youngest daughter, Ruby, is a struggling comedian who uses her famous mother as fuel for her bitter, cynical humour.
When the tabloids unearth a scandalous secret from Nora's past, their estrangement suddenly becomes dramatic. After Nora is injured in an accident, a glossy magazine offers Ruby a fortune to write a tell-all about her mother and Ruby returns home under the pretext of taking care of the woman she hasn't spoken to for almost a decade.
Nora insists they retreat to Summer Island, to the lovely old house on the water where Ruby grew up; a place filled with childhood memories of love and joy and belonging. There, Ruby is also reunited with her first love and his brother. Once, the three of them had been best friends; inseparable. Until the summer that Nora left, and everyone's hearts were broken . . .

How to Survive in the Woods
Wild meets The Wife Between Us in this page-turning thriller, set in the treacherous final stretch of the Appalachian Trail - an addictive tale of passion, betrayal, control and what it means to survive.
'ADDICTIVE ... IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN' Jo Morey, author of Lime Juice Money
Emma Sharp knows the rules of survival. From being raised by a doomsday-fearing father and hardened by the startup world, she has learned how to endure - especially in her marriage to Logan Grant, a charismatic tyrant who keeps her under tight control. To Emma, her marriage is a cage: it keeps you in, but it also keeps you safe. Until it doesn't.
When Emma forms an unexpected bond with Logan's former girlfriend, the two women form a plan to help Emma reclaim her life. Destination: the punishing final stretch of the Appalachian Trail.
After all, bad things happen in the woods all the time.
As the three venture deeper into Maine's backcountry, desire and dread curdle into something unpredictable, dark and deadly. Someone is lying. Someone is watching. And in the remote heart of the forest, someone is about to be lost . . . or found.
Atomic Coffin
December 1984. SIS field asset Heidi Sperling [codename Thistle] exfiltrates from East Berlin with the sole copy of a critical intelligence leak: a naval log containing a solitary message received from a previously unidentified Soviet submarine.
Incredulously - impossibly - it seems the vessel, known only as TK-15, has been sitting motionless and undetected in the waters between Scotland and Iceland for three whole years. And now this latest message reads: ACTIVE.
Picked up by the Royal Navy's submarine HMS Viking, Heidi is thrust into a 'black ops' mission: find TK15 and neutralise it at any cost. But as her only ally on board the Viking falls sick, she realises this modified vessel is far more than a Soviet experiment to gain an upper hand in the nuclear arms race. Here, in the crushing depths of the North Atlantic, it seems something darker has awoken - something that cannot be contained by any superpower.
As Heidi's own reality twists around her, an unknowable force cripples the Viking's defences and drives its crew to madness. Trapped in the deep, Heidi has no choice but to find a way to save the remaining crew and stop TK-15 for good, before it steals what's left of her mind . . .
EXODUS: The Helium Sea
The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.
For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions - one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever - as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim its vengeance.
For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion.
But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead - all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.

Önmagam árnyéka
Oszmán fia Oszmán, az Isztambulban született, ott felnőtt, majd az óceánokat teherhajókon bejáró, bálnák énekén könnyező világutazó, miután kénytelen visszatérni szülőföldjére, mindössze nyolcvanhárom nap alatt elveszíti testsúlyának felét. Oly sokáig volt távol hazájától, hogy már semmit sem talál ismerősnek. Az élete értelmét, a szerelmét kereste, de mindig mindent félbehagyott - egyetlen hű útitársa egy cserepes virág volt.
Ha az ember nem vigyáz, még megfertőzi az élet, a ragályos betegség, meditál magában Güray Süngü magányos hőse, aki újabb és újabb viszontagságokat átélve, szemlélődve hánykolódik a mindennapi élet és az álmok sodrásában is.
Mindannyian a helyünket keressük a világban - a török író fordulatos kalandokban bővelkedő regénye ehhez ritka kíméletlen őszinteséggel, egyben kivételes érzékenységgel megírt kalauz lehet mind a külső, mind a belső tájakon.

Leaving the City Behind
Discovering the elegance of contemporary country house architecture-where tradition meets modern design in stunning rural settins.
Country houses have always served as retreats for withdrawing, deceleration, and contemplation. The rural environment provides a refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, seamlessly embedded in nature. Today, there is a growing trend to reinterpret country living and merge it with the demands of the 21st century - creating a symbiosis of comfort, environmental awareness, and aesthetic restraint.
The focus is on harmoniously integrating architecture into the natural surroundings while emphasizing a strong connection to the landscape. Rural residences are increasingly designed with multifunctional spaces that can be flexibly adapted to evolving living conditions-for instance, home office solutions or separate units for multi-generational households. The featured designs, encompassing both new constructions and repurposed agricultural buildings such as stables and barns, showcase the diversity of contemporary rural architecture while preserving the identity of the countryside.

The Political Thought of David Hume
Aaron Alexander Zubia argues that the Epicurean roots of David Hume's philosophy gave rise to liberalism's unrelenting grip on the modern political imagination.Eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher David Hume has had an outsized impact on the political thinkers who came after him, from the nineteenth-century British Utilitarians to modern American social contract theorists. In this thorough and thoughtful new work, Aaron Alexander Zubia examines the forces that shaped Hume's thinking within the broad context of intellectual history, with particular focus on the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and the skeptical tradition.Zubia argues that through Hume's influence, Epicureanism—which elevates utility over moral truth—became the foundation of liberal political philosophy, which continues to dominate and limit political discourse today.
