Puoluejohdon tiedottajan yksi ainut virheellinen sana median edessä romahduttaa Berliinin muurin.

Kaarlolle selviää, että taistelu totuudesta kytkeytyy Putinin tavoitteeseen korjata vuosisadan suurimpana geopoliittisena katastrofina pitämänsä Neuvostoliiton romahdus.  Kun Kaarlolle lopulta valkenee tehtävän todellinen tavoite ja toimeksiantaja, on Itämeren ruutitynnyriin singottu kipinä jo roihahduttamassa myös Suomen. Ilkka Remeksen maailmanluokan trillerit ovat nostaneet hänet Suomen luetuimmaksi kirjailijaksi ja fiktiota ja faktaa yhdistelevän tyylilajin mestariksi.

Kirja, jota luet kuin tosielämän agenttitarinaa. Journalistinen jännityskertomus modernin informaatiosodankäynnin toimintatavoista Venäjä käy netissä sotaa siviilejä vastaan. Jokainen kriittinen ääni on vihollinen. Resursseja ei säästetä eikä laeista piitata, kun kriitikot halutaan vaientaa. Kirjassa esitellään yksityiskohtaisesti Suomessa ja useassa muussa länsimaassa viime vuosina toteutettuja, Kremlin masinoimia ja hyväksymiä mustamaalausoperaatioita. Kirjan polttopisteessä ovat kansainväliset, joskus rikoskynnyksen ylittävät, lokakampanjat yksityisiä ihmisiä vastaan. Tarkasti dokumentoidut tositarinat osoittavat, ettei Putinin Venäjä kaihda pimeimpiäkään keinoja vastustajiensa eliminoimiseksi nettivakoilun, sometrollien, valeuutisten, kyberhyökkäysten, tappouhkausten ja PR-ammattilaisten toteuttamien vihakampanjoiden avulla. Jessikka Aro sai Bonnierin Suuren Journalistipalkinnon 2016. Kirja ilmestyy samaan aikaan mm. Iso-Britanniassa. |

In a world recovering only slowly from evil, a world where allomancers wield immense power through their ability to unleash the magic bound up in common metals someone who can burn metals that no-one has burned before can tip the balance... Sanderson has the knack of giving the epic fantasy reader exactly what they want. This ability has thrown him to the forefront of the genre and the dramatic story within The Alloy of Law shows off this skill to its very best. |

But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed... ...especially when Bayaz gets involved. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult... |

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on. Need more Rachel Reid?!

40. The Order of Time - Carlo Rovelli, Erica Segre & Simon Carnell
|
|||
|
'A dazzling book ... the new Stephen Hawking' Sunday Times The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time 'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come.' Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves. Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre |

Instead he hooks up with a guy who claims to hate him. <i>And</i> has a good time. A really good time. But that doesn't mean players from different teams can be together. Max has always wished Grady would relax a little. When the season starts and Grady accepts Max's offer of help with finding someone to date for real, Max gets his wish. But he should've been careful what he wished for, because now that he knows Grady is a big softie under that prickly shell, he'd rather keep Grady for himself. Grady only goes on a handful of dates before he realizes he has a lot more fun with Max. But he can't be falling for a rival player… can he? |

As she sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the rumours, but thinks they are a distraction from true faith. As he tries to calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting each other in ways that surprise them both. |

64. Badass Habits - Jen Sincero
|
|||
|
New York Times bestselling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits--breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like you've never stuck before. Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits. The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit. |

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A work of stunning frankness about losing a daughter, from the bestselling, award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Notes to John.

As she reflects on her daughter’s life and on her role as a parent, Didion grapples with the candid questions that all parents face, and contemplates her age, something she finds hard to acknowledge, much less accept. Blue Nights —the long, light evening hours that signal the summer solstice, “the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but also its warning”—like The Year of Magical Thinking before it, is an iconic book of incisive and electric honesty, haunting and profound. |

87. Trauma Industrial Complex - Darren McGarvey
|
|||
|
Today, trauma is everywhere, and it seems like everybody has it. Trauma shapes public debates on education, criminal justice and healthcare. It’s cited as a root cause of addiction, mental health issues, and relationship breakdowns. It permeates media, from music and television to films and books – my own included. While the increasing openness is welcome, I’ve observed that this rise has been accompanied by a parallel explosion of disinformation. We now have a poorly regulated marketplace – powered by social media's financial incentives – filled with confusing and sometimes harmful guidance about how to deal with personal trauma. Every day, trauma-related content drives billions of views online. Across the Western world, millions are adopting narratives of their own fragility based on ideas they’ve acquired from under-informed content creators. As trauma is rapidly commodified, I’ve seen our stories of lived experience become largely dislocated from their original social and political value: to defend the vulnerable and leverage for social change. Now, trauma stories are less about spotlighting injustice, and more about monetising self-help for affluent people. How did we get here? Are the stories we are telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped? In this revealing and deeply personal book, I’ll pull back the curtain on the trauma industrial complex, tipping the sacred cows of lived experience and sharing the hard-won wisdom I’ve gained from the calamitous events brought on by telling my own story. |
88. The Art of Spending Money - Morgan Housel
|
|||
|
From the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money and Same as Ever , lessons on harnessing the power of money to live a happier life Most of us don’t know how to spend money. We chase things that impress others but leave us cold. Or we save endlessly, afraid to spend on what would actually make life better. We confuse admiration with envy, comfort with excess, and utility with status.  The Art of Spending Money doesn't provide budgets, hacks, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It gives you understanding of how your relationship with money shapes your decisions—and how to reshape it so money works for you. Morgan Housel’s work has helped millions rethink how they earn, save, and invest. Now he turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. With insight and warmth, he shows why the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind, why expectations matter more than income, and why doing well with money has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with self-awareness. This book isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting the most out of what you already have—and learning to want what’s worth wanting. |

|
'Gripping and essential reading' - TIM SPECTOR 'A compelling true crime story' - THE NEW YORK TIMES 'Strips away the lies to show what's really happening in the world' - OLIVER BULLOUGH 'Totally compelling' - ELIZABETH KOLBERT Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. But the companies making it - oil and petrochemical giants like ExxonMobil and INEOS - are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. In a shocking investigative deep dive, packed with character-driven storytelling, award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner exposes the truth of the vast, rapacious industry flooding our world with plastic - and now preparing to make more than ever. From the Gulf Coast of Texas to the narrow streets of Antwerp and the glitz and bling of Dubai, Gardiner gives us an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution, and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Today, the industry is pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, and eventually triple, the amount of plastic it churns out, even as so many of us -aghast at this material's out-of-control proliferation - try to use less. As Big Oil stares down a future of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, plastic has become its financial lifeline. Plastic Inc is full of stunning revelations, including how Big Oil pushed plastic into our lives and then sold us myths about recycling to ease our worries; how companies funded litter campaigns to blame us for the waste they were creating; and how they've poured cash and political muscle into fighting bans on single-use plastics. Gardiner also uncovers the hidden health crisis caused by chemicals in the items we use every day, and scientists' growing fear that microplastics may pose even greater dangers. Plastic Inc is an extraordinary exposé of an industry that will stop at nothing to feed its voracious hunger for profit. |

This book is a retelling, in easy-to-read Chinese, of the legendary story of how a little stone monkey was born, became king of his troop of monkeys, left his home to pursue enlightenment, received the name Sun Wukong (literally, "ape seeking the void") from his teacher, and returned home to defend his subjects from a ravenous monster. Sun Wukong, the Handsome Monkey King, is one of the most famous characters in Chinese literature and culture.  His legendary bravery, his foolish mistakes, his sharp-tongued commentary and his yearning for immortality and spiritual knowledge have inspired hundreds of books, television shows, graphic novels, video games and films. This is the first book in the best-selling Journey to the West series of stories for students learning to read Chinese. It is based on the epic 16th century novel of the same name by Wu Chen'en. This story is told using only 507 Chinese words, most of which are in the standard HSK3 vocabulary. All new words are defined on the page where they are first used. The book uses Simplified Chinese characters and includes pinyin, an English translation, and a full glossary. An audiobook is available on YouTube's Imagin8 Press channel. |

Helteinen Hanko, Bengtskärin majakka ja julma meri. Harrastajasukeltaja löytää Hangon edustalta 1970-luvulla mereen upotetut myrkkytynnyrit sekä pääkallon. Seuraukset ovat kohtalokkaat. Kun vanha merimies pyytää yksityisetsivä Ruben Waaralta apua, ei Waara tiedä mihin lupautuu. DDR:ään matkalla olleet taistelukaasut on nostettava merestä, vaikka ne kätkevät usean ihmisen synkän menneisyyden. Kuka valehtelee, kenelle ja miksi? Sukellus on Ruben Waara -sarjan kuudes rikosromaani. Matti Remes (s. 1955) on rikoskirjailija ja graafinen suunnittelija. Hänen Ruben Waara -teoksensa kuvaavat Hankoa ja sen lähiseutua tavalla, joka on hurmannut lukijat nasevalla sanailulla, lempeällä huumorilla ja yllättävillä juonenkäänteillä. |

She began to sing, the girl. Her voice was soft, so soft it was almost of the wind. It was a lullaby. She cradled her arms, rocking them gently back and forth. As if she was holding a baby. But she was not. Her arms were empty. On a cold morning a cyclist finds the brutally slaughtered body of a woman in her car, on a remote lane leading to the long-abandoned Irish village of Kelly’s Forge.  But when Detective Finnegan Beck arrives from the nearby town of Cross Beg to investigate he notices there’s a baby’s seat in the back of the car. A bottle of baby’s milk lying in the footwell. And no child. Little Róisín isn’t the first child to go missing from that same remote location though. There was another baby girl, taken more than fifty years before, who was never found. Has too much time passed for there to be a connection, or does something – or someone – link these two crimes? Beck claims he does not want to stay in Cross Beg. His heart is back in Dublin, with the woman he loves. But, knowing that a child’s life depends on him changes things. He knows he has to find the missing baby girl. Because if he doesn’t, he fears there’s a chance everyone will give up the baby for dead, just like they did before… This dark, twisted page turner will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Patricia Gibney, and Rachel Caine. Readers are loving The Child Before : ‘ So many twists and turns throughout the whole book.
