A Nature Poem for Every Day of the Year
A classic Batsford poetry collection, now reissued with a stunning new cover. A Nature Poem for Every Day of the Year is a glorious collection of 366 poems that celebrate nature and the changing seasons. It is the perfect morning companion for any nature or poetry enthusiast, featuring famous odes from big-name poets alongside unsung poems from less well-known writers. Each poem is chosen to chime with the natural world through the seasons. Spring is a time of hope, a season of new life accompanied by William Wordsworth’s famous daffodils, John Clare’s lambs and Christina Rossetti’s birdsong. Summer shifts into a time of leisure, with long, idyllic holidays in the countryside: according to Henry James, the two most beautiful words in the English Language were ‘summer afternoon’, a sentiment echoed by Edward Thomas and Emily Dickinson. John Keats, William Blake and W. H. Auden are the poets we associate with autumn, with the natural world, and the human one, holding onto the last lingering memories of summer before they turn to face the oncoming hardships of winter. Amy Lowell and George Meredith perfectly frame this time of year, with their silver-fringed leaves and crimson berries. Winter can be savoured in poetry, rather than endured; bleak grey days are transformed into a world of glittering frost and snow-blanketed landscapes. Even in the darkest days life continues, and soon we can turn our attention to the rebirth of spring. A wonderful collection of poems that help mark the daily turn of the seasons and all the rituals marking the significant moments of the year, from Candlemas to Christmas.

Someone Like Me
Penny Lancaster counts herself as incredibly lucky. She had a loving upbringing, her life with husband Rod Stewart has spanned continents, she’s made incredible friendships, become part of an amazing family and embraced motherhood. But it’s not all been plain-sailing. From being relentlessly bullied at school and underestimated because of undiagnosed dyslexia, Penny also experienced a harrowing sexual assault as a young girl. This has made her a staunch campaigner for women’s safety and, these days, she regularly puts in hours as a Special Constable for the City of London Police, where her primary concern is making the streets safe for women. She’s also navigated the challenges of having the weight of the world’s scrutiny thrust upon her in her twenties, undergone IVF treatment, supported loved ones through cancer diagnoses, overcome her own depression and manoeuvred through menopause. Amongst a heady mix of royalty, rock legends and renegades, her story is one of resilience. In Someone Like Me Penny tells her full story for the first time, with a natural empathy and humour that she hopes will help others on their own life journey. She shares her wisdom from hard-earned lessons, showing that the key to navigating both storms and sunshine is staying true to you.
Confessions
‘A remarkable debut’ Miranda Cowley Heller, bestselling author of THE PAPER PALACE''A cool, bold image of female pain and liberation'' GuardianIt is late September in 2001 and the walls of New York are papered over with photos of the missing. Cora Brady’s father is there, the poster she made taped to columns and bridges. Her mother died long ago and now, orphaned on the cusp of adulthood, Cora is adrift and alone. Soon, a letter will arrive with the offer of a new life: far out on the ragged edge of Ireland, in the town where her parents were young, an estranged aunt can provide a home and fulfil a long-forgotten promise. There the story of Cora''s family is hidden, and in her presence will begin to unspool…An essential, immersive debut from an astonishing new voice, Confessions traces the arc of three generations of women as they experience in their own time the irresistible gravity of the past: its love and tragedy, its mystery and redemption, and, in all things intended and accidental, the beauty and terrible shade of the things we do.''An irresistible read'' Yael van der Wouden, Booker-shortlisted author of THE SAFEKEEP''Propulsive and utterly captivating … Airey has shades of the American novelists Donna Tartt and Jeffrey Eugenides in her style'' Irish Times
Farewell to Russia
*‘Brilliantly introduces us to faraway countries about which we should know more.’ Tim Marshall, author of Prisoners of GeographyThey might have said goodbye to the USSR – but can they ever say farewell to Russi? now, concrete, the KGB: that’s the cliché of the Soviet Union. But its collapse in 1991 sparked a story at once messier and more compelling than any stereotype. Thirty-five years on, Moscow may brim with champagne bars and blacked-out Mercedes – but what became of the other fourteen states that emerged from the ashe? n the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Joe Luc Barnes crossed the former USSR to find out, from the gleaming towers of Azerbaijan to the former gulags of Kazakhstan, tech-hungry Estonia to the minarets of Uzbekistan. Along the way, he finds epic mountains, cobblestoned old towns and storied Silk Road cities – not to mention Georgian wine, Armenian brandy and vodka in industrial supply. Travelling thousands of miles, he gathers a chorus of voices: nomads in mountain yurts, TikTok-fuelled activists, small-town taxi drivers and many who still look uneasily over their shoulder for the secret police. With insight, empathy and a healthy dose of mordant wit, he asks what has happened – and why – to the people and their hopes and dreams since the great promise of independence. By turns hilarious, angry and heart-stopping, this is a darkly comic, deeply human portrait of a region the West still misunderstands – and a warning of what happens when empires break but the habits of empire refuse to die. If you loved The Silk Roads, Nothing to Envy or The Places in Between, and have a soft spot for Bill Bryson, clear space on your shelf: this is the book for you. Joe Luc Barnes speaks fluent Russian and is one of the few people, if not the only person, to have visited all 15 former Soviet countries since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Offers essential insights into a restless region where Russia, China and the West all vie for dominance. Covers: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Ukraine – and, of course, Russia.

Pán Masters
Je mocný, starší a je to môj šéf. Vražedná kombinácia.
Výraz spokojnosť v práci pri ňom nadobúda úplne nový význam.
Keď som klamala vo svojom životopise, nečakala som, že na tom bude záležať.
Veď každé dieťa ma jednoducho musí milovať. Narodila som sa pre to, aby som bola opatrovateľkou. Navyše, keď som sa uchádzala o miesto, myslela som si, že budem pracovať pre ženu. Lenže Julian Masters je poriadny kus chlapa... presne ten typ, o ktorom snívate, že z neho zlížete čokoládu.
Prvý deň bol zlý.
Deti boli ako sto čertov a ja som ho prichytila, ako robí niečo obscénne... a zároveň fascinujúce.
Druhý deň bol ešte horší.
Prichytil ma, ako snorím v jeho kúpeľňovej skrinke v krátkom pyžamku a rozpútalo sa peklo.
Na tretí deň...
... som ho prešla golfovým vozíkom.
No a na štvrtý deň...
... som sa rozhodla, že mám chuť na čokoládu... horúcu a roztopenú... na ňom.
Lenže inteligentní, ovdovení sudcovia sa nezvyknú zamilovať do bláznivých opatrovateliek. Alebo žeby predsa?
Krvavý erb, 2. vydanie
Obľúbená autorka historických romancí Jana Pronská nám vo svojom ôsmom románe približuje dramatické obdobie našich stredovekých dejín a na jeho pozadí rozohráva strhujúci príbeh o úkladoch, pomste a neľútostnom zápase o moc, ale predovšetkým o sile pravej lásky, za ktorú sa oplatí bojovať.
Eliz Zachovej, dcére veľmoža Feliciána Zacha, život doprial milujúcu rodinu, bohatého ctiteľa, privilegované postavenie, bohatstvo. Za jeden deň však prišla o všetko. Keď v kráľovskom paláci znásilnili jej sestru, zúfalý otec s mečom v ruke zaútočil na kráľa. Feliciána, ktorého pri útoku zabili, kráľ vyhlásil za vlastizradcu a jeho zneuctenú dcéru i ostatných príbuzných dal popraviť. Pre Eliz, ktorá len vďaka šťastnej náhode zostala nažive, sa začal boj o holý život.
Dominika Omodeja stihol podobný osud. Pred rokmi sa zachránil ako jediný mužský potomok kedysi mocného rodu, ktorý sa kráľ rozhodol vyhubiť, a stal sa vyvrheľom -- zbojníkom Zoranom. Zmariť kráľovu pomstu voči Zachovcom je preňho vecou cti, no keď sa podujme Eliz zachrániť, neráta s tým, že odvážnej dievčine sa podarí obmäkčiť jeho zatvrdnuté srdce, v ktorom dovtedy nebolo miesto pre lásku...

Profesionálny vyjednávač
Vyjednávanie je súčasťou nášho každodenného života – v priemere vyjednávame osemkrát denne, aj keď si to
často ani neuvedomujeme. A zvyčajne pri tom platí jednoduché pravidlo: ak nevyjednávame my, niekto iný vy-
jednáva za nás – a ak niekto iný vyjednáva za nás, šanca, že dostaneme to, čo skutočne chceme a potrebujeme,
dramaticky klesá.
Autor v knihe odhaľuje, ako preniesť princípy krízového policajného vyjednávania do každodenného bežného
života, či do sveta obchodu a podnikania, kde sú v hre peniaze, reputácia a udržateľné, dlhodobé vzťahy.
Zároveň ukazuje, že precízne použitie mäkkých zručností prináša rukolapné a merateľné výsledky.
Kniha je jedinečná v tom, že spája svet policajného „miesta činu“ s realitou biznis rokovaní. Odhaľuje stratégie,
mentálne protokoly a psychologické princípy, ktoré zvyšujú pravdepodobnosť dosiahnutia dohody aj tam, kde by
sa zdalo, že dohoda už nie je možná. V centre pozornosti stojí rešpektujúci mentálny koučing – disciplína, ktorá
mení vyjednávanie z taktického súboja na produktívnu sociálnu interakciu plnú empatie a racionálnej stratégie.
Profesionálny vyjednávač však nie je iba kniha o technikách. Je to aj pozvánka do sveta, kde sa z rokovaní stáva
umenie – umenie, ktoré mení nielen výsledky, ale aj človeka, ktorý ich dosahuje.

VITAJTE NA LUXUSNEJ VÝLETNEJ LODI!
Policajný psychológ Martin Schwartz prišiel pred piatimi rokmi za mysterióznych okolností o ženu a syna. Stalo sa to počas ich dovolenky na luxusnej zaoceánskej lodi Sultan of the Seas – nikto z posádky mu však nevedel vysvetliť, ako k tomu došlo. Martin je odvtedy psychicky na dne a vrhá sa ako utajený vyšetrovateľ do najnebezpečnejších policajných akcií, kde mu neraz ide o holý život.
Uprostred zásahu mu zatelefonuje čudácka stará dáma, ktorá sa predstaví ako autorka trilerov. Presviedča ho, že sa bezpodmienečne musí nalodiť na Sultána, pretože našla dôkaz, čo sa asi prihodilo jeho rodine. Martin sa zaprisahal, že nikdy nevkročí na loď.
Keď sa dozvie, že na lodi sa objavilo dievčatko s medvedíkom jeho syna v náručí, ktoré zmizlo pred niekoľkými mesiacmi, neváha a vyberie sa na loď.
Fogoly 2. - Éldekorált kiadás
A hatalmi harcok által dúlt Scott-dinasztia válaszút előtt áll.
Egy év telt el azóta, hogy Asher elűzte Ellát az életéből. A fiatal lány lelkén ejtett sebek lassan gyógyulásnak indulnak, miközben a férfi képtelen kiverni a fejéből a kék szempár emlékét. Azonban a világ egyik legveszélyesebb bűnszövetkezete, a Scott-hálózat vezetője túl büszke ahhoz, hogy megkeresse Ellát. Egészen addig, amíg útjaik újra keresztezik egymást.
Asheren eluralkodik a birtoklási vágy, és elhatározza, hogy újra lángra lobbantja Ella, az ő „angyala” szerelmét - ám azzal nem számol, hogy saját érzései is fellángolnak.
Ahogy azzal sem, hogy Ella nem bocsátotta meg neki, amit vele művelt. És bár Ash jó ideig uralta Ella szívét, ez az angyal most mindent megtesz, hogy felégesse a férfi világát - akkor is, ha a lángviharba ő is belevész.
Sarah Rivens francia dark romance szenzációja, a Fogoly második része érzelmekkel és fordulatokkal teli, sötét olvasmány.
