1. The Billionaire's Pregnant Lover
|
|||
|
Sydney Watson couldn’t believe what a horrible person Dominic Carson was. From the first instant they met, he’d been rude, arrogant and threatening. And from that moment forward, the feelings he generated within her were confusing and intense. She refused to give in to her desires for him, but she couldn’t seem to stay away. She told herself over and over again that she didn’t like him, but she’d never felt so exhilarated and excited when he was close. And she didn’t understand how he could make her feel so crazy with just a simple touch. Dominic terrified her, but she was like a moth trying to touch the flame.  From the first moment of meeting Sydney, Dominic knew that he wanted her in his life. Forever. He fought it initially, but he’d never met a woman who excited and turned him on while at the same time delighting him in her intelligence and stubbornness. And she only wanted him. Not his money or anything he could do for her. Just him.  Sydney was a heady, sensuous woman and he knew they were made for each other. So why was she resisting their attraction at every turn? He told her to trust him and she said no, yet she melted in his arms with a simple touch. When she was scared, she turned to him, but she wouldn’t even have dinner with him. |
2. Unspeakable Love
|
|||
|
Homosexuality is a taboo subject in the Arab world. While cleri denounce it as a heinous sin, newspapers write cryptically of 'shameful acts' and 'deviant behaviour'. Amid the calls for reform in the Middle East, homosexuality is one issue that almost everyone in the region would prefer to ignore. In this absorbing account, Guardian journalist Brian Whitaker calls attention to the voices of men and women who are struggling with gay identities in societies where they are marginalized and persecuted by the authorities. He paints a disturbing picture of people who live secretive, fearful lives and who are often jailed, beaten, and ostracized by their families, or sent to be 'cured' by psychiatrists. Deeply informed and engagingly written, Unspeakable Love reveals that -- while deeply repressive prejudices and stereotypes still govern much thinking about homosexuality -- there are pockets of change and tolerance. Unspeakable Love was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award in 2006. This updated edition includes new material covering developments since the book's first publication. 'A must-read for anyone who believes in human rights' Rabih Alameddine 'Masterful -- incredibly balanced and thoughtful' Ben Summerskill 'Anyone interested in reform in the Arab world must read this book' Mai Yamani 'Wise and compassionate' Guardian 'Groundbreaking' Daily Star Lebanon 'Never before has such a comprehensive study of gay civil rights been published' The Middle East Gay Journal 'Boldly delves into one of the biggest taboos in modern Muslim societies with subtlety and sensitivity' Globe and Mail |

From New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels, comes the second COMPLETE STANDALONE in the Alabama Summer series. Luke Evans is a heartbreaker.  I didn’t want to give mine to him. Not when he kept me out.  He gave me enough, just enough to make me fall in love with him. I say this to convince myself. But I know the truth.  I would’ve fallen in love with him at a distance.  Handing my heart over to Luke was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I was naive when I wished for more, when I hoped he wanted the same things I did.  I try to hate him. I try to forget him.  But it’s not that easy.  Love is a ruthless bitch, and I’m her latest victim.  Tessa Kelly is a man-eater.  When she sets her sights on you, she doesn’t just consume your heart, she goes for your soul.  What we had was perfect, real, and all I would ever want.  But she destroyed it.  She destroyed us.  I try to hate her. I try to forget her.  But it’s not that easy.  Love is for people who have hope, and I have none.  |

10. I Am Not A Serial Killer: Now a major film
|
|||
|
I Am Not A Serial Killer is now a major film starring Christopher Lloyd and Max Records. This is the first title in the thrillingly dark John Wayne Carver series. John works in his family's mortuary and has an obsession with serial killers. He wants to be a good person, but fears he is a sociopath, and for years he has suppressed his dark side through a strict system of rules designed to mimic 'normal' behavior. Then a demon begins stalking his small town and killing people one by one, and John is forced to give in to his darker nature in order to save them. As he struggles to understand the demon and find a way to kill it, his own mind begins to unravel until he fears he may never regain control. Faced with the reality that he is, perhaps, more monstrous than the monster he is fighting, John must make a final stand against the horrors of both the demon and himself. |
11. The Archaeology of Mind: Neuroevolutionary Origins of Human Emotions
|
|||
|
A look at the seven emotional systems of the brain by the researcher who discovered them. What makes us happy? What makes us sad? How do we come to feel a sense of enthusiasm? What fills us with lust, anger, fear, or tenderness? Traditional behavioral and cognitive neuroscience have yet to provide satisfactory answers. The Archaeology of Mind presents an affective neuroscience approach—which takes into consideration basic mental processes, brain functions, and emotional behaviors that all mammals share—to locate the neural mechanisms of emotional expression. It reveals—for the first time—the deep neural sources of our values and basic emotional feelings. This book elaborates on the seven emotional systems that explain how we live and behave. These systems originate in deep areas of the brain that are remarkably similar across all mammalian species. When they are disrupted, we find the origins of emotional disorders: - SEEKING: how the brain generates a euphoric and expectant response - FEAR: how the brain responds to the threat of physical danger and death - RAGE: sources of irritation and fury in the brain - LUST: how sexual desire and attachments are elaborated in the brain - CARE: sources of maternal nurturance - GRIEF: sources of non-sexual attachments - PLAY: how the brain generates joyous, rough-and-tumble interactions - SELF: a hypothesis explaining how affects might be elaborated in the brain The book offers an evidence-based evolutionary taxonomy of emotions and affects and, as such, a brand-new clinical paradigm for treating psychiatric disorders in clinical practice. |

|
" The Visitor offers an efficient mix of hard-boiled style with lots of lip and a revival of the classic locked-room mystery. . .Tight plotting, pace and high mileage." ( Guardian ) Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cooke have a lot in common. Both were army high-flyers. Both were aquainted with Jack Reacher. Both were forced to resign from the service. Now they're both dead. Found in their own homes, naked, in a bath full of paint. Apparent victims of an army man. A loner, a smart guy with a score to settle, a ruthless vigilante. A man just like Jack Reacher. Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Visitor is 4th in the series. |

After the night of her life with a dirty, sexy stranger who’s supposed to live a world and a half away from her, Tori is feeling pretty damn smug - until she finds him in the office next door.  Bryant is a menace, making every woman in the entire building lose focus, but she never thought he would actually go after her assistant.  Determined to save the poor girl from his clutches, she confronts him, and finds herself thrust in a world she never knew existed.  Bryant should stay away from the sweet little prim and proper thing wrapped in designer suits, but he’s had a taste and he can’t seem to forget it. He knows there’s no way he can even pretend to be satisfied with a vanilla relationship. Good thing that when the clothes and the attitude come off, Tori might very well be a sub. All he needs is to lead her down the rabbit hole… Disclaimer: The big bad office wolf is a very steamy romance, more so than most of my books. As the description suggests, it also includes some BDSM element. Spare panties recommended. |

Michael Wolff kertoo sisäpiirin tarinan aikamme kiistellyimmästä presidentistä Donald Trumpin virkakauden ensimmäiset yhdeksän kuukautta olivat myrskyisää, räävitöntä ja hypnoottisen kiinnostavaa aikaa. Bestsellerkirjailija Michael Wolff sai poikkeukselliset mahdollisuudet haastatella Länsisiiven sisäpiiriläisiä. Wolff kertoo mukaansatempaavan tarinan siitä, kuinka Trump aloitti presidenttikauden, joka on aivan yhtä tulinen ja arvaamaton kuin mies itse. Kirjassa Wolff valottaa yksityiskohtaisesti Valkoisen talon kaaosta. Kirja paljastaa muun muassa, mitä alaiset oikeasti ajattelevat presidentti Trumpista, mikä sai Trumpin syyttämään presidentti Obamaa salakuuntelusta, mikä oli todellinen syy FBI:n johtajan James Comeyn irtisanomiseen, miksi päästrategi Steve Bannon ja Trumpin vävy Jared Kushner eivät voineet olla samassa huoneessa ja kuka varsinaisesti johtaa Trumpin hallinnon strategiaa Bannonin irtisanomisen jälkeen. Yksikään aiempi presidentti ei ole jakanut Yhdysvaltain kansaa näin jyrkästi kahteen leiriin. Michael Wolffin hätkähdyttävä ja journalistisesti ansiokas teos näyttää, miten ja miksi Donald Trumpista on tullut eripuran ja vastakkainasettelun kuningas. Michael Wolff on saanut työstään lukuisia palkintoja, muun muassa kaksi National Magazine Awardia. Hän on toiminut kolumnistina lehdissä Vanity Fair, New York, Hollywood Reporter, GQ (Iso-Britannia), USA Today ja Guardian ja kirjoittanut useita kirjoja. Hän asuu Manhattanilla. |
21. The 8
|
|||
|
Dr Michael Mosley, author of the bestselling 5:2 Fast Diet , reveals a game-changing approach to one of the greatest silent epidemics of our time - raised blood sugar levels. The food we eat today, high in sugar and easily digestible carbohydrates, is not only making us fat, but is putting us at risk of type 2 diabetes, strokes, dementia, cancer and a lifetime on medication. More than a third of adults in the UK now have raised blood sugar levels and most don't know it. In this timely book, Dr Mosley explains why we pile on dangerous abdominal fat and shows us how to shed it, fast. He demolishes common myths, such as the claim that steady weight loss is always better than rapid weight loss and that those who lose weight rapidly will inevitably put it back on. This is a book not just for those at highest risk but for anyone who has struggled with their weight and wants to regain control of their health. 'I feel amazing. I have been given another chance at life.' --Cassie, 28 -- lost 20kg Average weight loss: 14kg in 8 weeks. Includes a detailed 8-week programme with menu plans. "This is potentially a life-changing book for people with raised blood sugar levels as well as those with type 2 diabetes." -- Dr Tim Spector, Professor of Genetics, King's College, London "In this book about the greatest health problem of our time [Dr Michael Mosley] pulls together the latest scientific studies and weaves in moving human stories. If you have raised blood sugar levels or type 2 diabetes and are interested in trying to regain full health, this is the book for you." -- Dr Roy Taylor, Professor of Medicine and Metabolism, University of Newcastle " The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet is the first common sense book on managing your diabetes that offers clear up to date advice on both exercise and diet. This book has a striking and persuasive message: we are in control of own health ." -- Dr Jamie Timmons, Professor of Precision Medicine, King's College, London "As a GP I have been recommending a dietary approach similar to one described in this book for some time. As a result many of my patients have lost weight, become healthier, and we now spend ?27,000 less per year on drugs for diabetes than the average GP practice in our area." -- Dr David Unwin, GP and winner of the NHS 'Innovator of the year' Award for the North West "The diet cleaned out my liver and pancreas. It's not so easy for me to gain weight any more. It's as though my body is working metabolically like a young man's again , and I like the person I see in the mirror now." -- Carlos, 55, former diabetic "He is totally different now , says Anthony, son of Geoff, 50, former diabetic. His aura, the way he projects himself; he has self-belief. He believes he can do things." "I feel amazing. I have been given another chance at life, I feel in control for the first time." --Cassie, 28, former diabetic "The revelatory claim running throughout this book that type 2 diabetes can not only be prevented but actually reversed is one of the most heartening messages I have have read in a long time. In his clear, un-sensationalist prose, Michael Mosley takes us through the science, theory and evidence behind this claim. If the changes in our diet and lifestyles suggested in this important book were to be taken up I believe it could affect a dramatic change in the nation’s health and well-being." --Jane Asher, actress, author and President of Arthritis Care |

My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. No, he'll barely even speak to me. But he still won't leave me alone. We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him. But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin another year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back. For fans of Abbi Glines and Colleen Hoover comes the next big name in New Adult romance Praise for Bully: 'Penelope creates incredible tension between her characters in this best friends to enemies to lovers romance. It touches on the trauma of high school relationships, first loves, and broken hearts, and most importantly, how to be with someone without losing yourself' Helena Hunting, author of The Good Luck Charm 'A wonderfully addictive read that kept my heart racing from start to finish. I could not put it down!' Aesta's Book Blog 'A heated and passionate novel, full of feeling and intensity that will appeal to the reader seeking an emotional rush' IndieReader.com |

Sen estääkseen Elise aikoo etsiä tuolle seksikkäälle poikamiehelle täydellisen kumppanin – senhän hän taitaa.

Eikä aikaakaan, kun Sabinen ovikello soi, ja oven takana seisoo kuin seisookin vihainen Gavin, joka vaatii saada nähdä poikansa. Mikä nyt neuvoksi?  Kaikki tiet luoksesi Francesca Bernard matkustaa Roomaan tapaamaan sukulaisiaan.

Keskiaikainen Elinan surma -balladi uutena tulkintana! Laukon avainpiika Kirsti odottaa lemmittynsä kosintaa. Mutta Klaus Kurki tuokin kartanoonsa uuden nuorikon. Salliiko Kirsti unelmiensa särkyvän? Lähtiessään miehelään Elina ei aavista, mikä häntä uudessa kodissa odottaa. Piika Kirsti ei ole valmis luopumaan rakkaudestaan, ei kartanoon eikä sen isäntään. Naisten yhteiset lapsuusvuodet eivät paina mitään, kun vaakakupissa on turvattu tulevaisuus Laukon herran rinnalla. Kuinka pitkälle Kirsti on valmis menemään saavuttaakseen onnensa? Balladissa Elinan kohtalo on julma. Miten käy nyt? Kristiina Vuori kertoo oman tulkintansa yhdestä historian jännittävimmistä ja koskettavimmista kolmiodraamoista. Kristiina Vuori on historiallisen romaanin taitaja ja uudistaja, jonka sivuilla menneisyys herää eloon. Miljöö runsaine yksityiskohtineen on autenttinen, mutta todellisista henkilöistä kertoessaan hän ottaa tarinallisia taiteilijanvapauksia. Näin on laita myös Elinan surmassa. Kansanballadin henkilöille ei ole varmaa vastinetta todellisuudessa, joten Vuoren näkemys Elinan kohtalosta on yhtä oikea kuin perinteinenkin. |

27. King, Warrior, Magician, Lover
|
|||
|
The bestselling, widely heralded, Jungian introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity. Redefining age-old concepts of masculinity, Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette make the argument that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but generative, creative, and empowering of the self and others. Moore and Gillette clearly define the four mature male archetypes that stand out through myth and literature across history: the king (the energy of just and creative ordering), the warrior (the energy of aggressive but nonviolent action), the magician (the energy of initiation and transformation), and the lover (the energy that connects one to others and the world), as well as the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential (divine child, oedipal child, trickster and hero).  King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is an exploratory journey that will help men and women reimagine and deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche. |

In the same cavern system, elaborate primitive paintings tell the story of an immense battle between tribes of Neanderthals and monstrous shadowy figures. Who is this mysterious enemy depicted in these ancient drawings and what do the paintings mean? Before any answers could be made, the investigative team is attacked, while at the same time, a bloody assault is made upon a primate research center outside of Atlanta.

31. 13 Hours
|
|||
|
13 HOURS is the true account of the events of 11 September 2012, when terrorists attacked a US State Compound and a nearby CIA station in Libya, one of the most dangerous corners of the globe. On that fateful day, a team of six American security operators stationed in Benghazi fought to repel mounting enemy forces and escalating firepower, to protect the Americans stationed there, including the US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. Going beyond the call of duty, the team ignored orders to stand down and instead choked back smoke, fought wave after wave of machine-gun fire and retook the Compound, averting tragedy on a much larger scale – although four Americans would not make it out alive. Recounting the 13 hours of the now infamous attack, this personal account is both blistering and compelling, and sets the story straight about what really happened on the ground, in the streets and on the rooftops. |

In 2018 the world woke up to gene editing with a storm of controversy over twin girls born in China with genetic changes deliberately introduced by scientists – changes they will pass on to their own offspring.  Genetic modification (GM) has been with us for 45 years now, but the new system known as CRISPR or gene editing can manipulate the genes of almost any organism with a degree of precision, ease and speed that we could only dream of ten years ago.  But is it ethical to change the genetic material of organisms in a way that might be passed on to future generations? If a person is suffering from a lethal genetic disease, is it unethical to deny them this option? Who controls the application of this technology, when it makes ‘biohacking’ – perhaps of one’s own genome – a real possibility? Nessa Carey’s book is a thrilling and timely snapshot of a cutting-edge technology that will radically alter our futures and the way we prevent disease. |

The New York Times bestseller! “Frank Hamer, last of the old breed of Texas Rangers, has not fared well in history or popular culture. John Boessenecker now restores this incredible Ranger to his proper place alongside such fabled lawmen as Wyatt Earp and Eliot Ness. Here is a grand adventure story, told with grace and authority by a master historian of American law enforcement. Frank Hamer can rest easy as readers will finally learn the truth behind his amazing career, spanning the end of the Wild West through the bloody days of the gangsters.” --Paul Andrew Hutton, author of The Apache Wars To most Americans, Frank Hamer is known only as the “villain” of the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. Now, in Texas Ranger, historian John Boessenecker sets out to restore Hamer’s good name and prove that he was, in fact, a classic American hero. From the horseback days of the Old West through the gangster days of the 1930s, Hamer stood on the front lines of some of the most important and exciting periods in American history.

David Bowie: every single song. Everything you want to know, everything you didn't know. David Bowie remains mysterious and unknowable, despite 45 years of recording and performing. His legacy is roughly 600 songs, which range from psychedelia to glam rock to Philadelphia soul, from avant-garde instrumentals to global pop anthems. Rebel Rebel catalogs Bowie's songs from 1964 to 1976, examines them in the order of their composition and recording, and digs into what makes them work. Rebel Rebel is an in-depth look at Bowie's early singles and album tracks, unreleased demos, session outtakes and cover songs. The book traces Bowie's literary, film and musical influences and the evolution of his songwriting. It also shows how Bowie exploited studio innovations, and the roles of his producers and supporting musicians, especially major collaborators like Brian Eno, Iggy Pop and Mick Ronson. This book places Bowie's music in the context of its era. Readers will discover the links between Kubrick's 2001 and "Space Oddity"; how A Clockwork Orange inspired "Suffragette City". The pages are a trip through Bowie's various lives as a young man in Swinging London, a Tibetan Buddhist, a disillusioned hippie, a rock god, and a Hollywood recluse. With a cast of thousands, including John Lennon, William S. Burroughs, Andy Warhol and Cher. |

52. The Naked Communist
|
|||
|
The Naked Communist has sold more than a million copies. It found its way into the libraries of the CIA, the FBI, the White House, and homes all across America.  The Naked Communist  contains a distillation of more than a hundred books and treatises on communism, many written by Marxist authors. We see the communist the way he sees himself—stripped of propaganda and pretense. Explained here is the amazing appeal of communism, its history, and its basic and unchanging concepts—even its secret timetable of conquest. This book has been called “the most powerful book on communism since J. Edgar Hoover’s ‘Masters of Deceit’.” In one clarifying and readable volume, the whole incredible story of communism is graphically told.  It includes the tragic story of China, Korea, Russia, the UN, Alger Hiss, Whittaker Chambers, Elizabeth Bentley, General MacArthur, and others. In 1961, Skousen added the 45 goals of communism. Today, all but one of those goals is fulfilled. A brief discussion of each goal is included in this new edition. Among the many questions it answers are: Who gave America’s nuclear secrets to the Russians? How did the FBI fight the battle of the underground? Why did the West lose 600 million allies after World War II? What really happened in Korea? What is communism’s great secret weapon? Is there an answer to communism? What lies ahead? What can I do to stop communism? But the most important question of all that this book answers is how to stop communism and how to do it without a major war. National broadcaster Paul Harvey at CBS said, “I have never given any volume such an unqualified endorsement.” Reviews “The Naked Communist lays out the whole progressive plan. It is unbelievable how fast it has been achieved.” ~ Dr. Ben Carson, Surgeon, Philanthropist, Journalist  “No one is better qualified to discuss the threat to this nation from communism. You will be alarmed, you will be informed.” ~ Ronald Reagan, United States President “Skousen predicted someday you won’t be able to find the truth anywhere because the history of this country is going to be hijacked by communists. I think we are there.” ~ Glenn Beck, National Radio Host “I feel certain that your efforts on this important subject (communism) will receive widespread attention and consideration.” ~ J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation “We believe in a moral code. Communism denies innate right or wrong. As W. Cleon Skousen has said in his timely book, The Naked Communist: The Communist ‘has convinced himself that nothing is evil which answers the call of expediency.’ This is a most damnable doctrine. People who truly accept such a philosophy have neither conscience nor honor. Force, trickery, lies, broken promises are wholly justified.” ~ Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture under President Dwight D. Eisenhower |

Witty and refreshingly candid, lovely Serena has been capturing hearts young and old alike. Her guardian uncle worries, though, that at twenty-three she will soon become a spinster. He wants a better life for her than that, but she doesn’t want to make a match without her heart being in it. And none of the men courting her have touched her heart—not Warren, the old friend who woos her even as he eyes other women; certainly not Eustace, the minister concerned more with appearances than compassion; not even Freddy, perhaps the most ardent of her suitors but at nineteen still a puppy. Then Freddy’s uncle, the handsome Lord Pendleton, arrives to extract his nephew from the woman he expects Serena to be—one interested only in wealth and a title. When he refuses to believe that, far from trying to ensnare Freddy, she has been urging him to return to Oxford, her ire gets the better of her. She decides to let his lordship stew in his own juices. And when it becomes clear Lord Arrogant’s plan is to get her to change her course from Freddy to himself, feisty Serena sets her own course. |

63. Paranoidi optimisti
|
|||
|
Vuoden odotetuin bisneskirja! Risto Siilasmaa kertoo Nokian vaikeista vuosista ja paljastaa keinot, joilla Suomen tärkein yritys nostettiin uuteen kukoistukseen. Paranoidi optimisti on vangitsevasti kerrottu tarina ja kurkistus teknologiamaailman sisäpiireihin. Kirjassa Nokian hallituksen puheenjohtaja ja F-Securen perustaja Risto Siilasmaa peilaa Nokian kehitystä alkaen vuodesta 2008, jolloin hän liittyi yhtiön hallitukseen, sekä avaa näkemyksiään johtamisesta ja teknologiabisneksestä. Siilasmaa on kirjoittanut kirjan muun muassa Intelin ja Dellin toimitusjohtajien teoksissa kirjoittajana mukana olleen Catherine Fredmanin kanssa. Siilasmaa kertoo, miten Nokia kävi lähellä tuhoa mutta onnistui nousemaan takaisin huipulle. Tarina opettaa selviytymään kriisien ja murroksen kourissa, etsimään uusia vaihtoehtoja ja pysymään valppaana jatkuvan muutoksen keskellä. Punaisena lankana Nokian tarinan rinnalla kirjassa kulkee Siilasmaan johtamisen filosofia, paranoidi optimismi. "Ilman optimismia ei uskalla ryhtyä isoihin muutoksiin. Kun on samalla riittävän epäluuloinen, näkee myös kaikkein huonoimmat mahdolliset vaihtoehdot ja pystyy ehkäisemään ne ennakolta. Olemalla paranoidi on varaa olla myös optimisti", Siilasmaa kuvaa. Risto Siilasmaa (s. 1966) on toiminut Nokian hallituksen puheenjohtajana vuodesta 2012 alkaen. Yhtiön hallitukseen hänet valittiin vuonna 2008. Opiskeluaikanaan vuonna 1988 Siilasmaa perusti tietoturvayritys F-Securen ja toimi sen ensimmäisenä toimitusjohtajana. Hän on edelleen yhtiön hallituksen puheenjohtaja. |
64. Kellanved's Reach
|
|||
|
The incessant war between the bickering city states of Quon Tali rages. So engrossed are the warring lords and princes in their own petty feuds that few notice that an upstart mage from Dal Hon has gained control of the southern seas. But some powers are alarmed And in the meantime, as Purge and Tali indulge in what seems like a their never-ending game of war, a mercenary caught up in the fight between the two states suddenly refuses to play along and causes all sorts of chaos. Simultaneously, a pair of escapees from Castle Gris make their way across this ravaged landscape of flame and butchery. Their intention to seek out the legendary Crimson Guard. And then there's Kellanved who could not care less about any of this petty politicking or strategy or war. Something other and altogether more mysterious has caught his attention and he - together with a reluctant and decidedly sceptical Dancer - traverse continents and journey through the Realms in pursuit . . . But this ancient mystery that has so captivated Kellanved is neither esoteric nor ephemeral. No, it is of an altogether darker and more dangerous hue. It involves the Elder races themselves, and more specifically - certainly more alarmingly - the semi-mythic, and universally dreaded, Army of Dust and Bone. Surely no one in their right mind would be so foolish as to embark on a journey from which none have returned? Well, no one except Kellanved that is . . . Returning to the turbulent early history of what would become the Malazan Empire, here is the third awesome chapter in Ian C. Esslemont's new epic fantasy sequence. |

Donna had been in foster care with her two young brothers for three weeks when she is abruptly moved to Cathy’s. When Donna arrives she is silent, withdrawn and walks with her shoulders hunched forward and her head down. Donna is clearly a very haunted child and refuses to interact with Cathy’s children Adrian and Paula. After patience and encouragement from Cathy, Donna slowly starts to talk and tells Cathy that she blames herself for her and her brothers being placed in care. The social services were aware that Donna and her brothers had been neglected by their alcoholic mother, but no one realised the extent of the abuse they were forced to suffer. The truth of the physical torment she was put through slowly emerges, and as Donna grows to trust Cathy she tells her how her mother used to make her wash herself with wire wool so that she could get rid of her skin colour as her mother was so ashamed that Donna was mixed race. The psychological wounds caused by the bullying she received also start to resurface when Donna starts reenacting the ways she was treated at home by hitting and bullying Paula, so much so that Cathy can’t let Donna out of her sight. As the pressure begins to mount on Cathy to help this child, things start to get worse and Donna begins behaving in erratic ways, trashing her bedroom and being regularly abusive towards Cathy’s children. Cathy begins to wonder if she can find a way to help this child or if Donna’s scars run too deep.

Jää on tarina saaristoseurakuntaan saapuvasta papista, hänen perheestään ja kirkkosaarta ympäröivien kylien ihmisistä - ikiaikaisista salaisuuksista, joita meri ja jää kyläläisten hartioille uskovat. Eletään sotien jälkeistä aikaa, taistelut ovat loppuneet ja maassa rauha. Saarien muodostamalle paikkakunnalle voi saapua vain veneellä, jos onnistuu postinkuljettajan tai merivartijan läheisyydessä harsimaan reittinsä esiin kavalan saariston läpi. Ja sinne papinperhe haluaa asettua asumaan. He ovat täynnä uskoa tulevaan; pappilassa uhkutaan elämää, iloa ja välittämistä. Kesällä alueen asukkaat rakentavat terveysasemaa, siltaa ja tulevaisuutta. Silakanpyytäjät tulevat Helsingin markkinoilta taskut omaisuutta pullollaan ja saarilla vallitsee kristillinen vieraanvaraisuus. Mutta talvella jää asettuu eri alueiden ja kirkkosaaren väleihin kuin kivilattia. Pappilan ulkopuolella, kulkuvesillä ja jäällä, vallitsevat iänikuiset voimat. Sen tietää myös postinkuljettaja, joka näkee enemmän kuin muut. Enemmän kuin kohti pappilan ikkunasta kajastavaa valoa kohti kulkeva pappi. Postinkantaja tietää, että jokaisen rinnassa on jonkin muun kaipaus, ja kaikki mitä kaivataan tulee veneellä. Lundbergin henkeäsalpaavan kaunis romaani ei päästä otteestaan. Se vangitsee lukijan jään tavoin odotuksen, kaipuun ja vapauden murtumiin. Kirjan on suomentanut Leena Vallisaari. |

'A hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.' BARACK OBAMA The perfect Christmas gift: a message of hope for our troubled times. *the #1 Sunday Times bestseller * instant New York Times bestseller * an Observer 'best brainy book of the decade' * #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller * Irish Times bestseller * Audio bestseller * Guardian bestseller * ---Longlisted for the 2018 Financial Times /McKinsey Business Book of the Year--- 'One of the most important books I've ever read - an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.' BILL GATES 'Hans Rosling tells the story of "the secret silent miracle of human progress" as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.' MELINDA GATES Factfulnes s: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness , Professor of International Health and a man who can make data sing, Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world. |

Salonkikelvoton juristi kohtaa elämänsä rankimman tapauksen Roistojen puolustusasianajaja saa asiakkaaksi miehen, jota epäillään poliisijohtajan tyttären murhasta. Takana on salaisuus joka uhkaa olla liikaa laittomallekin lakimiehelle. Stephen Rudd uskoo vakaasti, että joka ikistä syytettyä pitää kohdella reilusti oikeusistuimessa, vaikka kepulikonstein jos ei muu auta. Siksi hän hoitaa nekin tapaukset joihin muut juristit eivät koske tikullakaan: puolustaa milloin kuolemaantuomittua rikollisjohtajaa, milloin pikkutyttöjen murhaajaa, ja saa kimppuunsa niin poliisit kuin kilpailevat rikollisetkin. Arch Swangerin tapaus ylittää kuitenkin kaiken mitä Rudd on kokenut. Swangeria syytetään poliisijohtajan 21-vuotiaan tyttären, Jiliana Kempin sieppauksesta ja todennäköisestä murhasta. Kun hän paljastaa taustalla piilevän karmean salaisuutensa lakimiehelleen, Rudd tajuaa koko arvomaailmansa olevan uhattuna. Hengestä nyt puhumattakaan. |

94. Man's Search for Meaning

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997,  Man's Search for Meaning  had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found  Man's Search for Meaning  among the ten most influential books in America. |
