V novém napínavém thrilleru od autora bestsellerů New York Times Daniela Silvy se Gabriel Allon pouští do pátrání po ukradeném Vermeerově mistrovském díle a odhaluje spiknutí, které může svět přivést na pokraj jaderného armagedonu. Na začátku to vypadalo na „obyčejnou“ loupež a vraždu. Když se však na místě činu – v luxusní vile jihoafrického lodního magnáta v italském Amalfi – nalezl desítky let hledaný obraz Vincenta van Gogha a nepřímé důkazy, že se zde nacházel obraz ještě mnohem vzácnější, nastal čas Gabriela Allona. Legendární bývalý šéf izraelské tajné služby sice žije v ústraní v Benátkách, kde se věnuje restaurování obrazů, avšak nabídku, aby ověřil pravost nalezeného obrazu a přišel na to, jaký další obraz se zde nacházel, přijímá. Otázkou není, kdo ukradl Koncert Johannese Vermeera tenkrát, před třiceti roky, ale kdo se ho zmocnil nyní. A zejména proč. S pomocí velmi nepravděpodobného spojence, krásné dánské počítačové hackerky a profesionální zlodějky, Gabriel brzy zjistí, že za vším se skrývá spiknutí, jež ve svém výsledku může ohrozit celý svět a uvrhnout ho do kataklyzmatu jaderné války. Že stopy míří až k samým špičkám ruské vlády, vedoucí zločinnou válku na Ukrajině, a k muži známému jako Sběratel, který o všem, co se děje, může sdělit světu tajných služeb mnohem více. Problém je ale v tom, že se podobně jako v případě krásné dánské hackerky ani v případě Sběratele nedá jednoznačně říci, do jaké míry je viník, a do jaké míry oběť. I on se ale musí stát Allonovým spojencem…

An inclusive and empowering manifesto for change in women's healthcare – exploring the systemic and deep rooted sexism within medicine, and offering actionable ways for women to advocate for ourselves and others and get the diagnosis and treatment we need. Have you ever been to a doctor and felt like you were being fobbed off or ignored? Did they belittle or overlook your concerns about your health? Ever been told you're just 'hormonal'? You're not alone. Women make up 51 per cent of the population and are the biggest users of healthcare services – for themselves and as mothers and carers. But all the research shows there are massive gender differences in men's and women's healthcare. Our pain and suffering has been disbelieved; we are misdiagnosed, given tranquilisers when we need painkillers, antidepressants when we need HRT, and not trusted to make informed choices about our own bodies. As women speak out about their experiences of gaslighting and misdiagnosis, health journalist Sarah Graham investigates what it will take to bridge the gender health gap. Meet the patients, doctors and campaigners who are standing up and fighting back, and find practical tips on advocating for your own health. Be inspired by stories that will incite and offer hope. You're not alone, you're not going mad, and we believe you.

Simon Mundie, host of The Life Lessons podcast, draws on interviews with some of the world's sporting legends to redefine how we understand - and pursue - success through 8 key lessons. As the sports reporter for BBC Radio 1 for the best part of a decade, Simon Mundie was pitch-side at many of the most high-profile sporting events in history. It was often thrilling, but when he took to the airwaves to report on what he had seen, it increasingly felt like something was missing. The emphasis always seemed to be on results, tactics and the score. But as the saying goes, sport is a metaphor for life - so Simon set out to explore that. Drawing on interviews with sporting legends from Jonny Wilkinson to Kate Richardson-Walsh, Caitlyn Jenner to Goldie Sayers, along with psychologists, philosophers and world-renowned thinkers, Simon shares some of the tools and techniques that sportspeople have embraced to grow and evolve - as athletes and people. From developing emotional intelligence to the power of true acceptance and the joy of getting in flow, he explores eight universal themes that are highlighted in sport, but that are all too easily overlooked in the favour of simpler, shallower narratives about winning, trophies and 'success'. What can the careers of Gael Monfils and Andy Murray teach us about exploring our potential? What can England's Olympic gold-medal winning hockey team teach us about the power of being truly selfless? Wise and inspiring, Champion Thinking illustrates that whether in sport, at work or in our relationships, worshipping at the altar of success isn't going to bring us happiness. The contentment we are all looking for isn't somewhere 'out there' - it's actually so close that we tend to overlook it.

Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time–war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism–in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all. In a time when our political and cultural perspectives feel more divisive than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin engines of enlightenment–a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how a scientist views the world and about what Earth looks like from space, Tyson has found that terrestrial thoughts change as our brain resets and recalibrates life's priorities, along with the actions we might take in response. As a result, no outlook on culture, society, or civilisation remains untouched. In Starry Messenger, Tyson reveals just how human the enterprise of science is. Far from a cold, unfeeling undertaking, scientific methods, tools, and discoveries have shaped modern civilisation and created the landscape we've built for ourselves on which to live, work, and play. Tyson shows how an infusion of science and rational thinking renders worldviews deeper and more informed than ever before–and exposes unfounded perspectives and unjustified emotions. With crystalline prose and an abundance of evidence, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From lessons on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, ten surprising, brilliant, and beautiful truths of human society, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe.

Growing Up Human reveals how our evolutionary history has shaped a phenomenon experienced by all readers – childhood. Tracking our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one feature that sets us apart from the many animals that came before us – our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our roots to stay 'forever young' and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story. Beginning with the ways animals invest in their offspring, anthropologist Brenna Hassett moves through the steps of making a baby, from pair-bonding to hidden ovulation, points where our species has repeatedly stepped off the standard primate path. From the mystery of monogamy to the minefield of modern parenting advice, Hassett explains how differences between humans and our closest cousins have led to our messy mating systems, dangerous pregnancies, and difficult births, and what these tell us about our babies we are trying to build. Using observations of our closest primate relatives, archaeological relics, and the bones and teeth of our ancestors, Growing Up Human explores the evolution of our childhood right down the fossil record. In our species, investment doesn't stop at birth, and examining every aspect of our care and feeding, from the chemical composition of our milk to formal education, reveals what we have evolved our weird and wonderful childhoods for.

A laugh-out-loud young fiction series from bestselling author Joanna Nadin, perfect for fans of Horrid Henry. Best friends Stanley and Manjit are part of Class 4B, which head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt says is the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or FUN. It is about LEARNING and it is high time 4B tried harder to EXCEL at it. But they didn't LITERALLY mean to let the class stick insects loose in the wilds of the playground. And they really didn't LITERALLY mean to make a massive mess trying to do modern art (which may or may not have involved a mummified cat being stolen). These things just happened, even though they had FOOLPROOF plans to get away with it all. Highly illustrated and featuring two hilarious madcap adventures in one book, these stories are just right for children ready for their first chapter books.

Lady Carrie neviděla svou budoucnost nijak růžově. Na to byla příliš velká realistka. Sice byla vdovou, ale její manžel, který ji hned po svatbě opustil, aniž by se obtěžoval splnit svou manželskou povinnost, po sobě zanechal tak strašlivé dluhy, že na ně padly všechny peníze, které do manželství přinesla. Je tedy panna, bez peněz a těžko může očekávat, že kdy pozná manželský život… Když ji ale náhoda svedla dohromady s nechvalně známým svůdníkem a hazardním hráčem, lordem Averym, plachá Carrie se rozhodla, že využije příležitost, a nabídla mu, že mu zaplatí, když se stane jejím milencem… (1. část minisérie Westramské vdovy)
