Poor Creatures
The worst monsters are the human kind . . .
Dundee, 1812. Isabel Baxter awaits the arrival of Mary Godwin, a girl of fierce intelligence and grand passions, sent north to recover from a mysterious ailment. The Baxter family home, nestled in woodland by the river Tay, seems the perfect retreat. But The Cottage is a place of secrets, and Mary is no ordinary guest.
As the girls grow closer, their friendship becomes all-consuming, haunted by memory, fuelled by feverish
creativity, and shadowed by something monstrous.
Inspired by true events, this is an immersive reimagining of the young Mary Shelley before she became the
author of Frankenstein. A story of girlhood, obsession, and the birth of a literary legend.
Years before Frankenstein, this is a story of emerging womanhood and literary intrigue, exploring the many monsters in young Mary Shelley's life. From the bestselling author of Waterstones Scottish Book of the month, the Specimens, Poor Creatures is perfect for fans of Stacey Halls, Sara Sheridan and Ambrose Parry.
The Ship's Cat
From the bestselling author of The Ghost Cat comes an epic new adventure for feline fans. The Ships Cat is the Odyssey with cats - a heroic yet feel-good tale of unlikely friendship on the high seas.
When street-savvy London stray Archie accidentally stows away on a flight to Turkey, hes just looking for shelter. But after stumbling onto a fishing boat in a quiet cove, Archie discovers hes no ordinary feline - for with his polydactyl paws, he brings uncanny good fortune to vessels at sea.
From the sun-drenched harbours of the Mediterranean to the bustling decks of ocean racers, Archie becomes a legend among sailors. Yet beneath the viral fame and whispered tales of the magical ships cat, Archie yearns for something deeper: a forever-human who will love him not as a talisman, but as a companion.
It may be luck that drives Archie on this great Odyssey around the world, but love will be what calls him home - not to some place, perhaps, but to someone.
Heartwarming, adventurous and quietly profound, The Ships Cat is a tale of resilience, belonging, unexpected friendship and the mysterious ways love finds us.
Living Planet
A new, fully updated narrative edition of David Attenborough's seminal biography of our world, The Living Planet.
Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers. Single species, and often whole communities adapt to make the most of ice cap and tundra, forest and plain, desert, ocean and volcano. These adaptations can be truly extraordinary: fish that walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air; snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears that grow hair on the soles of their feet.
In The Living Planet, David Attenborough's searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies, from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures that have established themselves in the most recent of environments, the city. By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing - the ingenuity with which individual species contrive a living, or the complexity of their interdependence on each other and on the habitations provided by our planet.
In this new edition, the author, with the help of zoologist Matthew Cobb, has added all the most up-to-date discoveries of ecology and biology, as well as a full-colour 64-page photography section. He also addresses the urgent issues facing our living planet: climate change, pollution and mass extinction of species.

The Wilder Way
Eva had it all: a high-flying job, a picture-perfect marriage, a lifestyle that many would aspire to. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that she is living someone else's dream.
After hitting rock bottom, she bought a one-way ticket to Nepal and left her old life behind in search of her true path in life.
Over the next few years, Eva travelled solo to some of the world's most far-flung places - A lone horse trek in Mongolia, COVID lockdown on a desert island in Yemen and overlanding across the US in an 18-year-old truck with her beloved dog, Vilk. Along the way, she grew an engaged online community and transformed from someone living society's idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own.
But the shift from a rooted life to a transient one was far from straightforward and Eva grappled with the tension between her wanderlust and a longing for somewhere to call home.

Apple in China
What if the greatest business success story of the twenty-first century was hiding the West's gravest mistake?
For two decades, Apple poured billions into China, training millions of workers and building the most advanced supply and manufacturing system in history. But those same investments transferred knowledge, skills and power, handing China the tools to challenge America's dominance and putting Apple in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.
Based on hundreds of exclusive interviews, Patrick McGee's gripping exposé reveals Apple's vulnerability for the first time - and shows how one company's triumph inadvertently reshaped the global balance of power.
Lost Boys
An astonishing undercover investigation into the paranoid and misogynistic subcultures of the manosphere, by the Orwell Prize-longlisted author of Hired.
Rarely has there seemed a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the 'manosphere', as men search for new forms of belonging.
In Lost Boys, acclaimed journalist James Bloodworth delves into these worlds and asks: Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? And what can we do about their pernicious encroachment upon our social and political spheres? Along the way, he enlists in a bootcamp for 'alpha males', dissects cultural figures including Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, and accompanies modern day Hugh Hefners as they broadcast their jet-set lifestyles to millions of followers.
Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, Lost Boys is an essential guide to understanding young men and modern masculinity
Zdravotnické právo
Zdravotnické právo ovlivňuje každodenní rozhodování zdravotnických pracovníků více, než si mnozí uvědomují. Každý informovaný souhlas, každý zápis do zdravotnické dokumentace i každé odborné rozhodnutí má svůj právní rozměr. Právě v těchto situacích může neznalost právních pravidel znamenat nejen profesní problém, ale i vážné právní důsledky.
Tato publikace přináší srozumitelný a prakticky orientovaný výklad zdravotnického práva určený především zdravotníkům. Čtenář získá přehled o tom, jaká práva má pacient, jaké povinnosti mají poskytovatelé zdravotních služeb a jaké právní dopady mohou mít rozhodnutí učiněná v klinické praxi. Kniha vysvětluje základní právní principy, upozorňuje na nejčastější rizikové situace a nabízí orientaci v právních otázkách, které zdravotníci řeší při své práci.
Publikace se věnuje soukromoprávním vztahům mezi pacientem a poskytovatelem zdravotních služeb, odpovědnosti za újmu, informovanému souhlasu, zdravotnické dokumentaci i trestněprávním aspektům zdravotnické praxe. Samostatná pozornost je věnována také znalecké činnosti ve zdravotnictví a specifickým situacím, které vznikají na rozhraní medicíny a práva.
Kniha je určena především studentům zdravotnických oborů, lékařům, nelékařským zdravotnickým pracovníkům a dalším profesionálům působícím ve zdravotnictví. Využití však najde i u studentů práva, právníků specializujících se na zdravotnické právo nebo pracovníků veřejné správy.

Voices of Victory
Discover the forgotten story of Britain’s final bloody battles against Nazi Germany in this Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Based on audio interviews with those who fought their way to victory, Voices of Victory is a compelling and immersive account of a crucial period in the Second World War by the bestselling author of D-Day: The Unheard Tapes. February, 1945. Eight months have passed since the D-Day landings, when the Allies gained their foothold in North-West Europe. Since then the British Army has fought near continuously against the German military. Now, they stand ready for their final test: the battle for the German homeland. Drawing on the sound archive of the Imperial War Museums and other personal accounts, military historian Geraint Jones brings this often-overlooked period of the war vividly to life in the words of British soldiers who were there, from war-weary men who have survived many months of combat to new recruits facing Hitler’s fanatics for the first time. In Voices of Victory we join the soldiers battling to break through the Siegfried Line and clear the Reichswald forest, where fighting was from one tree to the next. At the crossing of the Rhine we go into action with the commandos, and jump behind enemy lines with the Paras. We are taken into the horror of Belsen when the concentration camp is liberated, hear from the witnesses of the forgotten battles of April, and end the war deep in Germany, with victory in Europe. ‘Enthralling and enlightening . . .
