To Die or Not to Die?
In the footsteps of Doomed to Die: An A-Z of Deaths in Tolkien, and inspired by the works of Edmund Gorey, this insightful parody breathes life into Shakespeare with an illustrated ABC of the Bard's more gruesome deaths. ‘Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; The worst is death, and death will have his day.’ RICHARD II Universally regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare was nevertheless responsible for more violent murders than any other playwright. Bringing true crime drama to Elizabethan audiences, death had dominion not only in Shakespeare’s histories and tragedies, but in his comedies too. From Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet to King Lear and the Scottish play, Shakespeare killed his characters both on and off stage in bloody tales of treachery, murder, combat and retribution. Now To Die or Not To Die brings his plays to life by revealing the very best of these deaths. Tom Racine’s unexpected journey from illustrator to published author began with Doomed to Die, an affectionate parody a la Edward Gorey of the dark side of J.R.R. Tolkien. A life-long admirer of the Bard, it was perhaps inevitable that Tom’s next collection would confirm him as a man of infinite jest…

Zralá, co hodně žrala
Soubor fejetonů a reportáží ze života ženy, která už dávno pochopila, že existují dva druhy lidí: ti vymyšlení, kterým jde život podle plánu… a pak my ostatní. Autorka se s odzbrojující upřímností a sebeironií probíjí světem, kde se děti umějí proměnit v neslyšící, neviditelné i nezvěstné tvory, osud má smysl pro humor hraničící s šikanou, muži mohou žrát, a přitom zrát, a romantika končí ve chvíli, kdy zjistíte, že petlička je místo na ložnicových dveřích omylem namontovaná na dveřích pokoje vaší puberťačky. Tahle kniha je pro všechny, co by si občas dali mokrý hadr na zavařenou hlavu nebo jím někoho přetáhli, ale místo toho zvolí léčbu smíchem. Pro všechny, kdo vědí, že život není jednoduchý, ale když už se s námi pere, měli bychom z toho vyrazit aspoň dobrou historku.

An Expert Witness
From the UK's leading forensic scientist and Sunday Times bestselling author of All That Remains and Written in Bone: a gripping exploration of forensic science, told through often shocking real cases to assess its triumphs, failures, and future.
'No scientist communicates better.' Val McDermid, award-winning author of the Detective Karen Pirie series
For over forty years, Professor Dame Sue Black has analysed criminal evidence at the highest level. As the UK's leading forensic scientist, she has stood in court as an expert witness, repeatedly putting her research and reputation on the line, all in the name of justice.
Now in An Expert Witness she puts forensic science itself on trial.
Drawing on shocking real cases and true crime, from historic poisonings to modern sexual offences, Sue Black traces the evolution of forensic science, from early identification methods to more recent breakthroughs such as DNA profiling, Sue's own vein identification research, and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in criminal investigation.
She shows where science has delivered justice, and where failures have led to devastating consequences, including wrongful convictions such as that of Andrew Malkinson, imprisoned for seventeen years for a crime he did not commit.
As she reflects on life serving as an expert witness, Sue looks back at landmark cases to tell the story of forensic science, ask questions for its future, and explain why this book marks the close of a defining chapter in one of the most extraordinary careers in modern forensic science.

Crucible of Light
Focusing on major turning points, individual stories, and key places, from Mecca to Cordoba, from Damascus to Venice, and from Vienna to Istanbul, Drayson tracks the themes that unite us - classical learning preserved in Islamic libraries, the enduring influence of Moorish architecture and design, the food we share, the goods we have traded, and the continuing dialogue between individuals and cultures that has permeated Europe's history and shaped its borders.
It is a history that sweeps across cities and continents, from Spanish patios and palaces to Ottoman-inspired coffee houses in seventeenth-century London to the Mezquita in Cordoba, once a mosque, now a cathedral, the physical embodiment of the ongoing discourse that continues to shape European identity.
