Give Me Butterflies - Jöhetnek a pillangók - Oaks Sisters 1.
Megható, szenvedélyes munkahelyi románc egy tudományos múzeum falai közt.
Millie-t soha nem érdekelték az elvárások. Gyerekkori rajongása a bogarak és a természettudomány iránt a rovartan területére kalauzolta őt, és kurátorként naponta inspirálja a múzeumba látogatókat. Nagy álma, hogy a Rovartani Tár osztályvezetőjévé váljon, ezért amikor a pozíció megüresedik, elhatározza, hogy semmi sem térítheti el a céljától. Főleg nem Finn, a mindig mogorva kolléga, akinek rosszalló tekintete, mélykék szeme és megszámlálhatatlan csillagászati mintás nyakkendője van... Nem mintha Millie ezekre odafigyelne.
Finn nem szándékosan mogorva mindenkivel, csupán nehezen tartja egyensúlyban az élete különböző területeit: egyedül neveli unokahúgait, igyekszik, hogy legalább néha ne égesse oda a vacsorájukat, gyászolja elveszített nővérét, és közben a múzeumban is helyt kell állnia. Nem engedheti el magát, és végképp nincs szüksége több bonyodalomra - különösen a ragyogó mosolyú, rendíthetetlenül optimista Millie-re, akivel szó szerint folyton összeütközik.
A férfi túl bogaras. A nő vakítóan ragyog, akár egy csillag. Nem áll szándékukban közelebbről megismerni egymást, de mivel Finn tagja a pozícióra interjúztató bizottságnak, ez elkerülhetetlen. Millie hamarosan rájön, hogy a karrierjét kockáztatni egy dolog; a szívét kockáztatni viszont már egészen más.

A Short History of America
In the two hundred and fifty years since its foundation, the United States of America has grown to become the world's richest and most powerful union. How did this new nation come to dominate global culture, economics, politics and warfare?
Informed by years of close observation, bestselling author Simon Jenkins follows the extraordinary journey of America from before independence through revolution to Civil War, its emergence onto the international stage and the turbulence of the present day.
We meet its most notable Presidents and see its most formative moments in a colourful and pacey narrative of a country often in turmoil, yet one that remains to many a land of freedom and a citadel of democracy with a story to inspire.
This is an essential read for anyone who seeks to understand the country that continues to shape our world.
The Make-Believe
From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality.
In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah's life is changed.
Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like - and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what's real, and what's imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.
From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah's life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.
Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.
The Kings of Kearny
From the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Lights Out comes a dark and steamy motorcycle club romance, perfect for fans of Paisley Hope
Jakob Larson is going to be the death of me.
That's what I think every time he strides into my bar. The Kings of Kearny run this small Texas town, and Jakob is their chief enforcer. The Viking, they call him. He's a criminal. As dangerous as he is sexy. The kind of man who makes my inner cavewoman sit up and take notice.
I'm ready to indulge her desires, but just for one night.
Unfortunately, Jakob has other plans. Someone in town is breaking one of the cardinal rules set by the leader of The Kings, and Jakob thinks they're using my grandmother's nursing home to do it. Now I'm neck-deep in trouble with him, and every time I think I've figured out what's really going on, Jakob reveals another piece of the puzzle.
I need to figure out how far I'm willing to go to protect this town. How far I'm willing to go with Jakob. Because if I fall for him, there's no going back. No hope for a peaceful ending. But Jakob is the kind of man who makes me think that peaceful is overrated, and that descending into darkness with him could lead to something even better than a Happily Ever After.
Psychology of Luck: Korean Secrets for Attracting Wealth and Success
Praised as a book that 'brings you luck the moment you open it', this book contains lessons on how to understand - and use - the psychology of luck.
Why are successful people so obsessed with luck?
Because they want to draw things of value to them.
The average person will experience at least a couple of lucky breaks in their lives, but life's successes and failures are dependent on how well you recognize the signs of such luck.
Born into a family with a gift of intuitive foresight and raised in Korean traditions of numerology, astrology and shamanism, Min Ji Yoo has developed deep insights into how people attract luck, money and the things they value to themselves. In The Psychology of Luck, Min Ji Yoo focuses on how successful people harness their luck to attract success - and how we can too.
Drawing on her years working with celebrities, business tycoons, politicians, and everyday people, Ji Yoo explains that the capacity to take advantage of lucky opportunities determines one's success. In this book, she reveals the surprising truths that you can enrich your life in many ways, simply by changing your attitude and psychological approach to luck.
Each chapter offers life lessons about luck and abundance - as well as approaches that quiet those anxieties that weigh us down. From 'live according to your instincts' to 'the more grace you give, the less pain you receive', Min Ji Yoo demonstrates that self-knowledge, worldly wisdom and luck are essential to becoming rich - whether measured in money, love, health or spiritual terms.
Men of a Certain Age
From Jeff Beck to Ray Davies, Jon Bon Jovi to Kevin Ayers, Kate Mossman has long fostered an interest in male musicians of a certain age.
Why is it that when I meet them, I feel something ignite inside me? What is this strange connection - to feel so excited, yet so at ease? And how is it that in the presence of a wrinkly rock star twice my age, I sometimes feel like I'm meeting . . . me?
Featuring nineteen long-form profiles lovingly constructed for The Word magazine and the New Statesman, Men of a Certain Age chronicles the lives of some of the biggest rock stars of our time, including Brian May, Gene Simmons, Terence Trent D'Arby, Johnny Rotten and Nick Cave.
The book is a meditation on the powerful archetype of the ageing rock star, but it is also a personal story - of music and obsession, and of the deep unconscious projections at play in our relationships with the famous people who most capture our hearts. As Kate travels 5,000 miles to try and find Glen Campbell, and to the depths of the Cornish countryside for a rendezvous with Roger Taylor, will she finally unravel the roots of her obsession with the elder statesmen of rock?
The Kennedys and the Windsors
The story of two iconic dynasties-the Kennedys and the Windsors-whose glamour and ambition defined an era. Reveals never-before examined stories about Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Diana, Prince Harry, JFK, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr., and many others.
For fans of The Crown and Disney+ new Ryan Murphy limited series Love Story.
For nearly a century, two families have captured the world's collective imagination: the Windsors and the Kennedys. Much has been written about their individual trysts, tragedies, and triumphs over the years, but no one has examined their intertwined legacies. Until now.
The Kennedys and the Windsors unearths the shared story of these two families, drawing out some startling parallels between them: the style icons Princess Diana and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who both tragically died young, the frustrated "second sisters" Princess Margaret and Lee Radziwill, the scandal-plagued next generation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, and the current generation's struggles to figure out what a monarchy - actual or imagined - means in the twenty-first century.
From Queen Elizabeth's coronation to President Kennedy's historic London visit, JFK Jr.'s shocking death to Prince Harry's decisive break with his family, Caroline Hallemann traces the key moments in the lives of these dynasties through a fresh and fascinating lens, showing how they have intersected over the generations in ways that not only shaped their images, but history itself.
Natures Echo
Nature wants to heal, and we can help.
When Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance?
As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work in isolation, but how complex ecosystems regulate themselves. When nature's cycles are allowed to build momentum, each species can create the conditions to allow others to thrive. From the birth of galaxies to the creation of life, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops.
Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, gripping personal narrative and initiatives already happening around the world, Nature's Echo shows how natural feedback loops have astonishing power to rebound, even with minor intervention. If we can only realize how integral we are to this highly interconnected natural world, we will re-discover the path to a better future.
Humans
Humans - who are we?
Physically, Homo sapiens is unremarkable in the animal world - a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste. Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it.
This book is:
shaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Roberts
written by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science
built from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topic
This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits - and their ability to teach one another skills - to create ever-more sophisticated technology.
Visually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists.
Humans asks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature. When did we invent clothes? Did we always form pair bonds? How did prehistoric people cross the ocean? Are we the only animals to become self-aware?
Find out who we are, where we come from, and perhaps - where we're going.

The Straight Eight Engine
The straight eight engine, also known as the inline eight engine, was the driving force behind some of the most fascinating luxury vehicles of the first half of the twentieth century. From its introduction in the 1920s through its demise in the 1950s, the straight eight graced a number of upmarket vehicles from makers like Pontiac, Packard, and Daimler, and even appeared under the hood of the hyper-exclusive Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, of which only eighteen models were produced. Although it was eventually replaced by the V8 engine, the straight eight engine can be found in some of the most valuable and sought-after vehicles of all time. Keith Ray's The Straight Eight Engine is the first volume to be published about this extraordinary mechanism. Featuring four hundred images, the book is a lush tribute to an automotive component likely to never be equaled for smoothness and refinement.
Menopauzaagy
Az XX-agy szerzőjének új könyve
"Végre egy könyv, amelyből megérthetjük, mi történik agyunkban a változókor alatt. A szerző gyakorlati útmutatásaival ezt az időszakot tudatosan, egészségesen és felkészülten élhetjük meg."
Iványi Orsolya menopauza edukációs aktivista, a Magyar Menopausa Társaság vezetőségi tagja
A menopauzára tekinthetünk úgy, mint mindennek a befejezésére, de úgy is, mint egy új kezdetre - rajtunk is múlik, miként éljük meg.
A menopauza és a perimenopauza számos kellemetlen tünettel jár: hőhullámokkal, álmatlansággal, "agyi köddel". Az ösztrogénszint csökkenése nem csupán a nők testhőmérsékletét, hangulatát és emlékezetét befolyásolja, hanem fokozhatja a későbbi életkorban bekövetkező kognitív hanyatlás kockázatát is. A Menopauzaagy bemutatja a változókori panaszok hátterében álló összetett hormonális folyamatokat, amelyekben az agy központi szerepet játszik. Dr. Lisa Mosconi ismerteti a korszerű hormonpótló terápiák, a hormonális fogamzásgátlás és az életmódbeli változtatások kedvező hatásait. Eloszlatja azt a mítoszt, hogy a változókor mindennek a végét jelenti, és hangsúlyozza: a menopauza körüli időszak átmeneti jelenség, a női lét természetes szakasza.
A Menopauzaagy hiánypótló, teljes szívemből ajánlom mindenkinek.
Naomi Watts színésznő
DR. LISA MOSCONI világszerte ismert olasz-amerikai kutató, egyetemi docens, neuroradiológus. PhD-diplomáját a Firenzei Egyetemen szerezte. A New York-i Weill Cornell Orvostudományi Egyetem Alzheimer-megelőzési programjának igazgatójaként indította el úttörő kezdeményezését, amely a női agyat vizsgálja, és azt, hogyan befolyásolják a nemi különbségek az agy öregedését és az Alzheimer-kór kockázatát. A The Times szerint korunk legbefolyásosabb 17 női tudósának egyike. Az ELLE magazin 2022-ben beválasztotta a világ megváltoztatásáért legtöbbet tevő 100 nő közé.
