Queen Charlotte: Before the Bridgertons came the love story that changed the ton...
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.
Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.
Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court… all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight—for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny… as Queen.

100 Symbols That Changed the World
100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
Universal symbols have been used as a form of communication from the Bronze Age, when the dynasties of ancient Egypt began the evolution of the thousand characters used in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In pre-Columbian America the Mayan civilization set out on a similar course, using pictures as a narrative text.
With the adoption of written languages, symbols have come to represent an illustrated shorthand. The dollar sign in America evolved from colonists' trade with the Spanish, and the widespread acceptance of Spanish currency in deals. Merchants' clerks would shorten the repeated entry of "pesos" in their accounts ledgers, which needed to be written with a 'p' and an 's'. A single letter 's' with the vertical stroke of the 'p' was much quicker. Historically correct dollar signs have a single stroke through the 'S'.
Symbols are also used to impart quick, recognizable safety advice. The radio activity symbol was designed in Berkley in 1946 to warn of the dangers of radioactive substances - and following the widespread use of gas masks in WWII, the trefoil symbol echoed the shape of the mask.
There are many symbols of affiliation, not only to religious groups, but support of political causes or even brand loyalty. Symbols are used for identification, military markings and recognition of compatibility. They allow users to convey a large amount of information in a short space, such as the iconography of maps or an electrical circuit diagram. Symbols are an essential part of the architecture of mathematics.
And in the case of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - the first Games to be held in an Asian country - symbols allowed the organizers to create event signage that wouldn't be lost in translation. The set of Olympic sports pictograms for the Games was a novel solution, and one that was added to in Mexico and Munich.
Organized chronologically, 100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült
"Hogyan fogja felismerni a lányt? A szőke hajáról. Soha nem fogja elfelejteni az arcát, de annyi arc van itt. Mi van, ha a lány elfelejti az övét?
Mindenáron ő akarja előbb észrevenni. Úgy érzi, hogy ha a lány meglepi, akkor megijed és elszalad.
Bár magas. Száznyolcvan centi. És ez neki kedvez.
Végül észrevesz egy fényes szőke fejet, amely a peronon halad felé. A szőkeség farmerdzsekit visel, alul kissé bővülő szárú farmernadrágot, és barna csizmát. Benjamin a hajához nyúl, hogy a vax jól tartja-e.
A lány felpillant, meglátja, és az arcán felragyog az a bizonyos mosoly.
Hirtelen az jut eszébe, hogy szeretné, ha ez a mosoly lenne az utolsó dolog, amit lát, mielőtt meghal, aztán eltűnődik, hogy mi a franc baj van vele."
Két együtt töltött év...
Húsz év távol egymástól...
És egyetlen nap, hogy változtassanak a történetükön.
Benjamin világa kifordul a sarkaiból, amikor találkozik Clarával. Tudja, hogy egymásnak teremtették őket, ám egy végzetes hiba az utolsó egyetemi estéjükön nagyon különböző irányba fordítja az életüket.
Húsz évvel később Clarának remek állása és jóképű férje van. Ám a látszólagos sikerei ellenére sem boldog, és tudja, hogy szíve egy darabja még mindig Benjaminé, a fiúé, akibe évekkel korábban beleszeretett. A fiúé, akinek az életét félő, hogy tönkretette.
Amikor bombamerénylet történik abban a városban, ahol először találkoztak, Clara visszakerül a helyre, amelyet igyekezett kitörölni az emlékezetéből, és az első szerelemhez, amelyet soha nem tudott elfelejteni. Benjamin után kutatva kénytelen szembenézni azokkal az eseményekkel, amelyek szétszakították őket. De vajon már túl késő helyrehozni azt, ami elromlott?
Charlotte Rixon The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült című regénye kilométereken és évtizedeken átívelő, elsöprő erejű, megrendítő történet első szerelemről, felnőtté válásról, eltávolodásról, és a meglepő, kanyargós utakról, amelyekre az érzelmek vezethetnek minket.

Chemical Brothers, The - For That Beautiful Feeling CD
„The Chemical Brothers“ (pôvodne boli známi ako The Dust Brothers) je anglické duo elektronickej hudby, ktoré založili Tom Rowlands a Ed Simons v Manchestri v roku 1989. Boli priekopníkmi (spolu s Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method a ďalšími počinmi) v prenesení žánru bigbítu do popredia popkultúry. Z ich prvého albumu Exit Planet Dust sa predalo viac ako milión kópií a debutoval na 9. mieste britského hudobného rebríčka. Po prilákaní Virgin Records dosiahlo duo ďalší úspech s druhým albumom Dig Your Own Hole (1997), ktorý sa dostal na vrchol britských hitparád. V Spojenom kráľovstve majú na konte šesť albumov číslo 1 a 13 singlov v top 20, vrátane dvoch vrcholov hitparád.
"For That Beautiful Feeling" je desiaty štúdiový album najuznávanejšieho a najinovatívnejšieho dua na svete.Názov albumu to dokonale vystihuje. Toto je nahrávka nahraná v štúdiu kapely, ktorá hľadá a zachytáva moment, keď vás zvuk zaplaví ako vlna, vlna, ktorá vás nakoniec nechá jazdiť do neznámych destinácií. Je to nahrávka, ktorá presne identifikuje ten moment v ktorom sa stráca všetka kontrola, v ktorom sa človek vzdáva a necháva nami hýbať hudbou, akoby ťahal neviditeľnou niťou.Každá skladba For That Beautiful Feeling sa zrodila v štúdiu z túžby nájsť ten bod, tú víziu, bod, ktorý by sa potom dal znovu prežiť na tanečnom parkete. Výsledkom je kolekcia živej, farebnej a hlboko psychedelickej hudby, nemožnej krásy, vymodelovanej hlukom, chaosom a nekonečným plynulým rytmom.

It is an ordinary Thursday and things should finally be returning to normal.

Then a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit. Her mission? Kill...or be killed.

13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

Sustainable Buildings
Buildings from all over the world using the latest developments, innovations and achievements of eco-friendly architecture.
Climate change and environmental pollution, rising energy prices and dwindling resources pose major challenges for the world of construction today. If sustainability is to become a global reality, it must also be designed and expressed with trend-setting aesthetics: The carefully selected sample projects of contemporary architecture show how this can be implemented in compelling ways.
They offer an informative overview of current, very different concepts, approaches and techniques. Sustainable building also means that ecological parameters involve not only all aspects of the actual building, but also the construction process and the afterlife in the sense of deconstruction and conversion, all of which must be considered by the planner as early as the design process. It is becoming increasingly important not to focus on short-term goals, but above all, on long-term ones.
The School That Escaped the Nazis
In 1933, as Hitler came to power, schoolteacher Anna Essinger hatched a daring and courageous plan: to smuggle her entire school out of Nazi Germany. Anna had read Mein Kampf and knew the terrible danger that Hitler's hate-fuelled ideologies posed to her pupils. She knew that to protect them she had to get her pupils to the safety of England.
But the safe haven that Anna struggled to create in a rundown manor house in Kent would test her to the limit. As the news from Europe continued to darken, Anna rescued successive waves of fleeing children and, when war broke out, she and her pupils faced a second exodus. One by one countries fell to the Nazis and before long unspeakable rumours began to circulate. Red Cross messages stopped and parents in occupied Europe vanished. In time, Anna would take in orphans who had given up all hope; the survivors of unimaginable horrors. Anna's school offered these scarred children the love and security they needed to rebuild their lives, showing them that, despite everything, there was still a world worth fighting for.
Featuring moving first-hand testimony, and drawn from letters, diaries and present-day interviews, The School That Escaped the Nazis is a dramatic human tale that offers a unique child's-eye perspective on Nazi persecution and the Holocaust. It is also the story of one woman's refusal to allow her beliefs in a better, more equitable world to be overtaken by the evil that surrounded her.

The Ten Equations that Rule the World
Is there a secret formula for improving your life? For making something a viral hit? For deciding how long to stick with your current job, Netflix series, or even relationship?
This book is all about the equations that make our world go round. Ten of them, in fact. They are integral to everything from investment banking to betting companies and social media giants. And they can help you to increase your chance of success, guard against financial loss, live more healthily and see through scaremongering. They are known only by mathematicians - until now.
With wit and clarity, mathematician David Sumpter shows that it isn't the technical details which make these formulas so successful. It is the way they allow mathematicians to view problems from a different angle - a way of seeing the world that anyone can learn.
Empowering and illuminating, The Ten Equations that Rule the World shows how maths really can change your life.
