The Thinning


'Storytelling at its best. I was enthralled' Sarah Winman(on Inga Simpson's Willowman)'We haven't always lived like this . . .'Fin grew up by an observatory, learning about telescopes and planets, inspired by the passions of her parents, then leaders in their fields of astrophotography and astronomy. Those days are long over. Now Fin, her mother, Dianella, and a band of outliers live deep off the grid, always on amber alert and always ready to run. In the outside world, things are not good: extinctions and a loss of diversity threaten what's left of the environment. With a new disaster looming, Fin finds herself thrust into an unlikely partnership with a stranger who has appeared in their camp - one of a new breed of evolved humans, the Incompletes, who are widely distrusted. But the pair will need to work together during a dangerous journey if they are to play their part in an audacious plan to help restore the natural world - and humankind. The Thinning is both an exquisitely written novel of nature and urgent thriller by the bestselling and acclaimed author of Willowman and The Last Woman in the World.

Iraq 2003


Fully illustrated, this study explores the technology, roles, and combat performance of Coalition airpower in the biggest air campaign of the early 21st century. In 2003, a US-led Coalition invaded Iraq with the aim of overthrowing Saddam Hussain’s regime. Just as it had in the 1991 Gulf War, airpower played a vital role. However, this war was very different to its predecessor and represented a new style of warfare: focused targeting with precision-guided munitions and close integration with land forces made air power particularly effective and efficient. Airpower scholar and former RAF pilot Michael Napier explains how the 2003 air campaign was planned and fought. He describes the preparatory work that was carried out in the No Fly Zones before hostilities began, how the plan was changed at the last minute to attempt a decapitation of the Iraqi government, and how the campaign then developed to support both the advance of Anglo-American land forces and SOF operations against tactical ballistic missiles in the western desert. He analyses in detail the relationship between the conduct of air operations and progress on the battlefield during the three-week war. Illustrated with dramatic artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and photos, this book assesses what made Iraq 2003 the textbook air campaign of the early 21st century.

Gravity Archives


From the former Poet Laureate, a remarkable contemplation of departure and return. Andrew Motion's new collection gives a moving account of the friction and interplay between past and present. In the opening elegies for friends and former versions of the self, and in the long title sequence which completes the book, he explores the ways in which regrets compete with hope, and the appetite for life is always a prey to hard facts of mortality. The energy and reach of these poems opens a new chapter in Motion's writing, remaining true to the elegiac subjects which have always been his main concern, while adding new depths of pathos and resonance.

Coalition Aircraft vs Iraqi SAMs


A detailed study of how Operation Desert Storm saw Coalition forces respond to Iraq’s surface-to-air missile defences with ground-breaking combat aircraft technology.Developed in the wake of the USA’s ill-prepared entry into the Vietnam War, aircraft carrying electronic counter-measures equipment and anti-radar missiles were crucial to the success of Operation Desert Storm during the First Gulf War. Iraq’s air defence systems were elaborate and costly, but also well understood by Coalition planners, and its surface-to-air missile batteries struggled in the face of radar jamming, pyrotechnic deflection of infrared guidance and extraordinarily effective destruction of enemy air defences weapons like the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile. Written by aviation expert Peter E Davies, this fascinating study uses newly commissioned artwork to enhance its retelling of how aircraft and weapons, as well as crew training and command-and-control structures, proved decisive in the outcome of Desert Storm in 1991. Archive photos capture examples of the principal weapons involved, while first-hand accounts from Coalition aircrew and planners convey the realities of a conflict in which cutting-edge technology played an inestimable role.

Hőhullámon


A változókor sok nő számára bizonytalanságot keltő időszak. A test jelez, a megszokott egyensúly átalakul, gyakran több a kérdés, mint a válasz. Szükségszerű, hogy mindezt lemondásként, veszteségként éljük meg? Sheila de Liz orvosként és nőként új nézőpontot kínál – amit elmond, esetleg szöges ellentétben áll azzal, amit eddig tudni véltél a változókorról. Közérthetően, szórakoztatóan, tabuk nélkül beszél a perimenopauza testi és lelki folyamatairól, és megmutatja, hogy a megfelelő tudás milyen sokat számít a közérzet, az önbizalom, a mindennapi életminőség szempontjából. Ez a könyv nem ijesztget, nem egyszerűsít, nem ígér csodát. Segít megérteni, mi történik a testben, hogyan lehet ezt az időszakot tudatosan, önazonosan megélni. A változás nem a női erő elvesztése. Lehetőséget hordoz – egy új egyensúly, egy újfajta jelenlét felé. A másik oldalon valami nagyszerű vár rád: saját magad új változata. Aki erős és szexi, ha éppen ahhoz van kedve, de főleg – szabad.

The Lives of the Caesars


A masterful new translation of Suetonius' renowned biography of the twelve Caesars, bringing to life a portrait of the first Roman emperors in stunning detail The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biography invites us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than that by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the centre of Rome and power, in AD 121. Placing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, Suetonius injected flesh and blood into their stories, which continue to inform how we understand the drama of power today. Their shortfalls, foreign policy crises and sex scandals are laid bare; we are shown their tastes, their foibles, their eccentricities; and we sit at their tables and enter their bedrooms, resulting in a series of biographies mediated through the lives of the Caesars themselves. That Rome lives more vividly in people's imagination than any other ancient empire owes an inordinate amount to Suetonius, and now award-winning author and translator Tom Holland brings us even closer in a new, spellbinding translation. Giving a deeper understanding of the personal lives of the Caesars and of how they inevitably informed what happened across the vast expanse of empire, The Lives of the Caesars is an astonishing, immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.

The Vipers


On the glittering island of Capri, anything can be a mirage. But one thing is true: there's nothing deadlier than a family with everything to lose . . . The world was shocked by playwright Sarah Lingate’s death thirty years ago at an opulent, white-washed villa on the island of Capri. Absolved of the crime, the Lingate family maintains that what happened that night was a tragic accident. And every July they return to Capri to prove it’s true. This time, Helen Lingate - sole heir to the family fortune - has a plan. Tightly controlled by her father, she enlists the help of the family assistant, Lorna Moreno, to free herself from her family’s stranglehold on her life. And yet, behind closed doors, the legendary Lingate family unity is at breaking point. Upon arrival at the villa in Capri, an anonymous gift awaits them: the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died. In the aftermath, the paranoid, insular Lingates begin to unravel. As the investigation into her mother’s death is reopened, Helen begins to lose trust in everyone around her: her controlling father Richard, drug-addled aunt Naomi, aloof uncle Marcus, and even Lorna, whose past she realizes is frustratingly opaque. And as the family fractures, the long-hidden truth about that night and the secrets they’ve kept from one another boil to the surface - and they might not leave the island alive.

Serapion


Mgr. art. Vlado JAVORSKÝ (1952) prichádza po románoch Noah (2021), Čas čarodejníc (2022) a románe Chata v hmle (2024, Pars artem) s najnovším románom SERAPION (2026, Signis), ktorý nesie nezameniteľný rukopis autorovej tvorby. Vyštudovaný filmový a televízny scenárista a dramaturg vidí svoje príbehy v obrazoch, ktoré si čitateľ vo svojej fantázii dokáže pred očami pretaviť do akoby odvíjajúceho sa filmu. Román Serapion je „film“ širokého časového plátna. Osudy ľudí v komunite cirkusu od besnenia svetovej vojny až po neľútostnú súčasnosť. Kladie si otázku, prečo toľko pádov, prehratých bitiek a zúfalých pokusov o šťastie? Je to osud, čo ženie človeka do zúfalých činov, kde hľadá nápravu a porozumenie? Hoci je román prakticky bez dialógov, príbeh ich nepotrebuje, je jasný a zrozumiteľný. Autor je znalcom kritických momentov života, ovláda podstatu konfliktov a snáh o ich riešenia. Každý z hrdinov nesie svoj kríž bez zbytočného sentimentálneho balastu. Hrdinovia sú takými, akými ich splodila doba. Sú silní vo svojej viere, že marazmus ich bytia je iba dočasný. Hrdo nosia v sebe nádej v lepšie dni...

Space Journal


A celebration of space exploration told through the visual imagination of great dreamers from the seventeenth century to the present day. An endless source of fascination, space is both alluring and mysterious, a place of wonder and terror. Space Journal is a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos across centuries and cultures. In drawings and diagrams, plans, charts, and paintings, a great range of scientists and dreamers each tell their own story of an element of space exploration. Their visions were largely based in the scientific understanding of their time, but as it turns out, many of the principles remain. Moving beyond a collection of space snapshots, this book benefits from the unmatched insights of journalist and collector Dallas Campbell, who weaves together priceless memorabilia, revolutionary experiments, and spectacular scenes to map both real and potential encounters with the unknown throughout history. From Galileo’s shopping list to speeches annotated in President John F. Kennedy’s own hand, from The War of the Worlds to Space Invaders, Campbell’s lavishly illustrated orbit sets out the radical thinkers and creatives who envisioned us leaving our planet - or having guests stop by - and in some cases, made it happen. 517 color illustrations.
