Life, Death and Getting Dressed


'This book is genius. It pinpoints all the things I have ever felt about my wardrobe... It's funny, charming and brilliantly explained. You'll feel better just reading it!' Emma Forbes'Rebecca's book considers clothes and our attitudes to them from a wildly original and truly kaleidoscopic range of angles.' Alexandra Shulman 'A fascinating deep dive that will make you think differently about the clothes you wear and why you bought them.' Lisa Armstrong,The TelegraphRebecca Willis unpicks our love-hate relationship with clothes, explaining why September is the most important month in fashion, what happens when we look in the mirror and why royal wives wear such ridiculously high heels. Clothes matter because over 50% of communication is non-verbal and because humans have an inbuilt need to belong. How we dress becomes so key to our identities that our wardrobes tell our life stories. This fun, frank and fact-filled book explores all the reasons that make us such easy prey for the fashion industry... and how to resist it. It will make you fashion-conscious in a new way and set you free from wardrobe anxiety. You will start to shop with your eyes wide open and make better buys and fewer mistakes.

Ray Khan


Ray Khan was the most unlikely confidential informant in law enforcement history, yet he found himself a fugitive, running from the same government he had helped. Ray Khan was born and raised in Gujarat, India, where his father was an officer with the Indian National Police. Wanting to follow in his footsteps, Ray took the entrance exam for the IPS three times but failed each time, so he followed his wife to the US to chase the American dream. However, things did not work out, and Ray ended up losing his wife and his legal immigration status. After moving to Georgia and buying his first convenience store, Ray unknowingly walked into an undercover ATF operation and purchased untaxed cigarettes. Shortly after, he was arrested and scheduled for deportation. However, by becoming a confidential informant for ATF Special Agent Lou Valoze, Ray was able to avoid deportation and quickly worked off his charges. Over the next six years, he would prove himself to be one of the most successful informants in ATF history. Valoze, recognizing Ray’s unique skills, used him in several undercover operations, and Ray proved his worth by bringing hundreds of violent criminals who sold thousands of crime guns and hundreds of kilograms of narcotics to Valoze and his undercover team. Valoze and Ray would eventually develop a relationship that went beyond the usual agent and informant relationship. But, during the entire time he was working as an informant, he was being targeted by a corrupt, high-level officer with the Georgia Department of Revenue. After Ray and Valoze concluded one of the most successful undercover operations in history, Valoze’s career imploded, and Ray found himself in the crosshairs of numerous corrupt Georgia officials. After being indicted on state RICO charges, Ray evaded the law and became a fugitive in New York City. Having learned many things while working with Valoze, Ray would eventually turn the tables on his corrupt pursuers.

Katechismus katolické církve


Třetí, opravené a pečlivě zrevidované české vydání Katechismu katolické církve vychází z oficiální verze (editio typica) schválené papežem sv. Janem Pavlem II. a vůbec poprvé obsahuje nové znění článku 2267 o trestu smrti, schválené papežem Františkem. Porozumění textu pomůže i Malý úvod do Katechismu katolické církve od Josepha Ratzingera a Christopha Schönborna. Katechismus katolické církve podává ucelený výklad katolické nauky, z něhož poznáváme, co vyznává a co slaví, čím žije a jak se modlí církev. Výklad katolické věrouky a morálky vychází z Bible, z liturgie i z bohaté tradice církve, rozšířené na všech kontinentech, a na přání otců Druhého vatikánského koncilu se přibližuje současným životním podmínkám. Katechismus je rozčleněn do čtyř částí: I. Vyznání víry (souhrn věrouky); II. Slavení křesťanského tajemství (liturgie a svátosti církve); III. Život v Kristu (lidské jednání; svědomí, štěstí, ctnosti, hřích; osobní a společenská morálka; Desatero); IV. Křesťanská modlitba (povolání k modlitbě a zápas o ni; výklad Otčenáše). Katechismus je spolehlivým vodítkem pro křesťany na celém světě – zejména pro ty, kdo nesou odpovědnost za katechezi ve své farnosti, pro kněze, biskupy, teology, ale i laiky, kteří se snaží svou víru žít tváří v tvář mnoha tíživým situacím a výzvám. Cenný je také pro všechny, kdo řeší praktické problémy jednotlivců i komunit, ptají se po odpovědích katolické víry a morálky, ale přitom žijí mimo dosah církve – pro novináře, lékaře, právníky, ekonomy, politiky, pedagogy, pracovníky v sociální a zdravotní oblasti aj. Pečlivě uspořádaná publikace je vybavena přehlednými shrnutími, propracovanými rejstříky a vnitřními odkazy. Nihil obstat: Prokop Brož, pomocný biskup královéhradecký Církevní schválení ze dne 28. září 2025: Josef Nuzík, arcibiskup olomoucký a předseda České biskupské konference.

Diddly Squat: The Farmers Dog


Uncooperative animals, underperforming crops, and rather less than best-laid plans pursued with unbridled enthusiasm. Clarkson's farm is the gift that keeps on giving. But, as one overseas visitor* admitted, he only came to Diddly Squat because he just didn't believe that Jeremy could be so incompetent. Not one to be discouraged, however, our hero decides to bring his misunderstood entrepreneurial flair to bear on a new venture: a pub. And just a few short weeks later, the doors open on The Farmer's Dog. All British produce, Hawkstone beer on tap, a private bar for farmers and a vintage tractor hanging from the ceiling. The perfect country pub. A welcome distraction from sustainable farming initiatives, psychedelic wheat, angry protests in central London and a headbutting goat. What, you may be asking, could possibly go wrong? On top of the lavatories packing up and the electricity running out, you mean? As the Cotwolds' newest publican quickly discovers, there's a lot more to landlording than pulling pints. Just as well, then, that he still has Lisa, Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald to help him through. Especially now his doctor's told him he's got to become a vegetablist … *along with the whole of the rest of China, apparently

Heatwave


BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK'A teeming chronicle of those scorching months. Superbly researched.' THE TIMES'Scorching, animated and essential reading. Superb.' THE MAIL ON SUNDAY'Grippingly captures the three months that shook Britain's cultural landscape' PAULINE BLACK'Scorching, seething and scintillating, Heatwave conjures a slow-burning collage of a country on the brink. I lived through those cruel months, and Williams recreates them with intense skill' SIMON GARFIELD'An absolute joy' PETE PAPHIDES'Engrossing...powerful...goes way beyond nostalgia' DAVID KYNASTONWith temperatures soaring to 35oC, severe water shortages and a sunburned population queuing at the standpipes, the summer of 1976 was always remembered as Britain's hottest. But the wave that hit the UK that year was also cultural and political, with upheaval on the streets, in parliament, on the cricket pitch and on the radios and TV sets of a nation at a crossroads. Before this blistering summer, Britain seemed stuck in the post-war era, a country where people were all in it together - as long as you were white, male and straight. In July, Tom Robinson writes a song called Glad to be Gay, and by August bank holiday, Black youth are making the police run for their lives in the almighty riot at the Notting Hill Carnival. But with the Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson suddenly quitting, the pound sinking and the economy tanking, a restless immigrant population and increasing dissatisfaction in the old world order, the weather seemed to boil up the country to the point where the lid blows off. Weaving a rich tapestry of the news stories of the year, with social commentary and dozens of first-person interviews with those that were there at the time, Williams's reappraisal of the summer of '76 is an evocative, sometimes nostalgic but always an unflinching read. Heatwave takes us back to relive the events of that summer and asks - have we really moved on as much as we would have liked?

Azt várják tőlem, hogy a lábuk nyomát is megcsókoljam, mint mindenki más, de én inkább ennék sarat, mint hogy megtegyem. Ha Jace Convigton el akar kergetni, jobban kell próbálkoznia.

A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived


This is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is to each of the 100 billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath. But it is also our collective story, because in every one of our genomes we each carry the history of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration and a lot of sex. In this captivating journey through the expanding landscape of genetics, Adam Rutherford reveals what our genes now tell us about human history, and what history can now tell us about our genes. From Neanderthals to murder, from redheads to race, dead kings to plague, evolution to epigenetics, this is a demystifying and illuminating new portrait of who we are and how we came to be.
