The Price of Pretty
From Sunday Times bestselling author Alex Light comes an empowering, incisive new book examining the crushing beauty standards women are subjected to – and how we can learn to fight back. In a world full of filters, tweakments, and weight-loss drugs, take back control and rewrite the rules of beauty on your own terms. Today’s unrelenting beauty standards tell women that our worth is conditional; that we aren’t good enough as we are. We fix and filter, tweak and tone, erasing ourselves to reach the ever-shifting goal of perfection. In The Price of Pretty, Sunday Times bestselling author and podcaster Alex Light investigates the forces behind today’s beauty dystopia. From the rise of new technologies and treatments framed as ‘self-care’ and the industries profiting from our insecurities, to the toxic messaging passed through generations, and how we can break the cycle. With lunchtime ‘tweakments’ on the high street, endless endorsements for weight-loss drugs, and inescapable AI images and filters, the pressure to be eternally youthful, naturally filtered and flawlessly sculpted has reached breaking point. And women are paying a high price: financially, physically, emotionally and mentally. Interrogating how we got here, Alex exposes the all-consuming cost of beauty and issues a clarion call for all of us to take control and fight back. Because here’s the truth: you were never the problem in the first place.

The Ancients
Deep in Tasmania's remote valleys and mountains grow trees whose direct ancestors lived with dinosaurs. Many are thousands of years old, some over ten millennia. Prize-winning nature writer Andrew Darby takes us on an island odyssey to discover these ancient survivors: the mysterious King's Lomatia, perhaps the oldest single tree alive; the primeval King Billy, Pencil and Huon pines with their stories of human admiration and destruction; and the majestic giant eucalypts. He shares tales of the scientists and nature-lovers who identified these ancients and now work to protect them from climate change and fire, offering hope for their future.

When Nathan and Linda Carman were a week overdue on a fishing trip out of Point Judith, Rhode Island, few thought they would still be alive. Even the Coast Guard had called off its search. So it seemed miraculous when Nathan was spotted—on a life raft, 106 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard—by the Chinese freighter ORIENT LUCKY. But was it more than luck? Nathan survived but his mother did not. Then news broke that Nathan was the primary suspect in his grandfather’s murder three years before, though the case chilled from a missing firearm. The last person to see both victims alive, twenty-two-year-old Nathan was now in line for a $10 million inheritance! Or was Nathan, evidently on the Autism spectrum, plain unlucky to have lost the only two people close to him? As he claimed on national TV, was the focus on him as the “the lowest hanging fruit” just prejudice? With no witnesses, no charges in his grandfather’s shooting, and no body for his mother lost at sea, both cases might have gone cold…except that Nathan made an insurance claim for his lost boat. Enter maritime attorney David J. Farrell, Jr. who ties together Nathan’s evil and greedy scheme. Follow the author’s team dissect Nathan’s final voyage, extract exclusive testimony, and assemble evidence from around the world. In Dead in the Water, you’ll pull up a seat inside the federal court trial to see if Nathan’s dream of drifting away with millions of dollars comes true.
Digging Deep
Who was the greatest Jewish footballer ever? A question to leave even the most historically literate football experts scratching their heads. And yet, before the Holocaust, Jewish superstar players were at the heart of European football. So too were the visionary Jewish coaches reinventing tactics; the Jewish footballing pioneers who shaped the modern game; and even the elite Jewish referees trusted with the biggest matches. Digging Deep excavates a destroyed civilisation. It reveals the untold stories of eleven Jewish football greats - icons one minute, marked for extermination the next. Setting exhilarating sporting triumphs against the gathering darkness of twentieth-century Europe, it restores these forgotten men to their rightful place in the football pantheon. More than a sports book, this is a journey through the beautiful game into the savage reality of the Holocaust - tracing human sagas that speak of ambition and glory, identity and belonging, terror and murder.
Blues from Laurel Canyon
John Mayall's story is like no other in the annals of rock and blues. Born in the UK in 1933, he laid the foundations of British blues, nurtured a generation of future superstars and then took the music back to the land of its birth. This extraordinary autobiography offers a vivid glimpse of Britain well before the rock revolution of the sixties, at a time when young men like John found themselves conscripted for national service that, in his case, included eighteen months in Korea. What followed when he returned was an odyssey of musical trailblazing. From Manchester to Laurel Canyon and many points in between, John's account of his long life is both affectionate and compelling - a guided tour through more than sixty years of the music business and its stars, brought to vivid life by one of its undisputed pioneers. This edition has been updated to include coverage of Mayall's life and work up until his death in July 2024.

Lordi bolesti
Říkali mi, že jsem špatná holka. Ale nikdo mě nepřipravil na to, co přijde teď. Killian, Rath a Tristian.
Tři jména, která mě jednoho odpoledne rozbila na kusy. Můj nevlastní bratr tehdy jen přihlížel. Smál se, zatímco mě jeho přátelé lámali. Utekla jsem. Jenže minulost tě vždycky dožene a teď mám stalkera, který je mnohem děsivější než tihle tři.
Strach, stud a naprosté zoufalství mě přivedlo na práh sídla Lordů na Forsyth University.
Z kluků s tajemstvím se stali vládci, kteří si podmanili všechno a všechny. Já se rozhodla pro šílený tah: vyhrát konkurz na jejich Lady.
Podepsala jsem smlouvu, která mě k nim připoutala. Teď jsem jejich majetkem, jejich trofejí, jejich hračkou. Úplně vydaná na milost jejich zvráceným pravidlům. Protože není nic, co by Lord miloval víc než absolutní kontrolu nad ženou, která si myslela, že může uniknout.
Vítej v jejich posteli, Story. Tady už tě nikdo neuslyší křičet... pokud ti to oni sami nedovolí.
Pomsta nosí Pradu
Karma je... späť!
Zo snov a pracovných nádejí sa ľahko môže stať nočná mora... Andrea Sachsová o tom vie svoje. Pred desiatimi rokmi odišla z miesta asistentky Mirandy Priestlyovej v módnom časopise Runway, pre ktoré by milióny žien zabíjalo. Našťastie sa jej otvorili dvere k omnoho lepšej budúcnosti – s bývalou kolegyňou Emily založili luxusný svadobný časopis The Plunge, ktorý svojou populárnosťou môže rozhodne konkurovať aj samotnému Runwayu.
Všetko sa zdá byť konečne dokonalé – dokonca aj Andrein nový snúbenec –, kým sa k nej nedostane tajný list. Správa ju vráti do čias odsudzujúcich pohľadov, z ktorých sa jej podarilo utiecť. Alebo si aspoň myslela, že sa jej to podarilo. Andrea sa musí znova postaviť zoči-voči módnej diablici. Aj keď je staršia a skúsenejšia, jej bývalá šéfka ju určite šetriť nebude. Ale tento raz ani ona ju.
