Svatba slečny Elizy Cynsterové bude jistě velkolepou a nezapomenutelnou událostí… … jenže nejprve ji někdo musí zachránit ze spárů tajemného a nebezpečného muže! Eliza je unesena ze zásnubního večírku sestry Heather přímo před očima svých bratrů, kteří ji měli chránit. Únosci s ní míří na sever do Edinburghu. Eliza se však jen tak lehce nevzdává a je rozhodnutá využít každou příležitost, aby z jejich spárů unikla. Do cesty se jim připlete mladý a přitažlivý učenec Jeremy Carling… Jenže Eliza netuší, zda jí tenhle urozený muž s hlavou v oblacích může nějak pomoci. Jeremyho zajímají jen starověké hieroglyfy, ale se zločinci a záchranou dívek nemá žádné zkušenosti. Může nechat Elizu, jejíž vystrašený obličej zahlédl v kočáře, na holičkách? Jeho čest mu nic takového nedovolí! Na útěku od záhadného skotského šlechtice, jenž stojí za únosem Elizy i její sestry Heather, se Jeremy s Elizou musejí vypořádat s řadou nebezpečí a překážek, které jim osud staví do cesty. Avšak mnohem větší hrozbou, než je pronásledování únosci, je jejich vzájemná přitažlivost, jíž nedokážou odolat.

Ve tři hodiny ráno povolají detektiva Petera Deckera z oddělení vražd losangeleské policie, aby se dostavil na důkladně zabezpečený ranč Coyote, jehož majitelem je Guy Kaffey. Čeká ho tam hrůzostrašná scéna – Kaffey i jeho žena byli společně se čtyřmi zaměstnanci chladnokrevně zastřeleni. Filantrop a bohatý obchodník známý tím, že poskytuje druhou šanci delikventům, z nichž mnohé najímá i na ostrahu vlastní bezpečnosti, umírá hanebným způsobem v důsledku akce, která musela být řízena zevnitř jeho domova. Možná z mnohem bližšího okolí, než by si kdokoliv dokázal představit. Ponurá atmosféra zahalující tuto úděsnou několikanásobnou vraždu se nejdříve Deckerovy ženy Riny, která v té době zasedá v porotě u soudu v Los Angeles, nemůže nijak dotknout. Náhodné setkání a žádost o pomoc od soudního tlumočníka však z Riny udělají přímého účastníka pátrání, které řídí její manžel, a zavedou ji rovnou do cesty nelítostných, bezcitných vrahů.

This book shows how our lives are shaped not only by the choices we make, but by the choices we have. From dating, school and university applications to the job market, understand the most important decisions you'll ever make with insights from a Nobel Prize-winner. Who Gets What and Why is a piquantly written, mind-expanding exploration of the markets that matter most to many of us. If you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to university or guided your child into a good school, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you have participated in a matching market. They are everywhere around us and account for some of the biggest technological successes of the decade, like Uber and Airbnb. Matching markets can even be the gatekeeper of life itself, guiding how desperately ill patients receive scarce organs for transplants. Alvin E. Roth shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in economics for his pioneering research into market design - the principles that govern all kinds of markets where money isn't the only factor in determining who gets what. His book reveals what factors make these markets work well - or badly - and shows us all how to recognise a good match and make smarter, more confident decisions.

There are five races of tiger on our planet and all but one live in tropical regions: the Siberian Tiger Panthera tigris altaica is the exception.

Sooyong Park has spent twenty years tracking and observing these elusive tigers. Each year he spends six months braving sub-zero temperatures, buried in grave-like underground bunkers, fearlessly immersing himself in the lives of Siberian tigers. As he watches the brutal, day-to-day struggle to survive the harsh landscape, threatened by poachers and the disappearance of the pristine habitat, Park becomes emotionally and spiritually attached to these beautiful and deadly predators.
