1. Wrong Text, Right Love - Claudia Burgoa
|
|||
|
Mistaken identity, drunk texts, and hysterical mishaps… just another day in my life. Girls all over the world spill the tea to me about their most intimate questions. They thank me for talking about sex with them. For fixing their love lives. I wonder if I’d still be a relationship influencer if they knew what a train wreck my own love life is? If I was writing anyone else advice, it would say things like: Never drunk-text your ex-boyfriend. No, seriously, that’s a terrible idea. But if you insist, maybe double-check the number first. Oops. But I guess I give good…text, because the stranger I messaged wrote back. And I responded. He doesn’t have to put up with my colorful personality--as my hot next-door neighbor describes me. Or my messy schedule. This relationship is as seemingly perfect as my online persona. Until we agree to meet up. When he meets the real me, will he hate me forever? Or will we be one day telling our grandkids about that wrong text, right love? *** USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa brings the flirty fun in this cozy standalone rom-com about secret lovers risking it all for romance. |
2. A Gift of Daisies - Mary Balogh
|
|||
|
Lady Rachel Palmer, young, beautiful, vivacious, and wealthy, is a huge success with London society. She hides from everyone an inner restlessness, a nagging suspicion that something is missing from her life. Some sense of purpose. Some substance to counter the frivolity of her days. David Gower, tall, dark, handsome, but an impoverished second son, was once unsettled and rebellious as he searched for something to give his life focus. Now, as a young clergyman with a new parish to serve, he has found what he was looking for and, with it, contentment and real happiness… …until, that is, he meets and falls in love with Rachel. Marriage to her is impossible, however. She is too far above him socially and too attached to her life of gaiety and wealth and privilege. David has nothing of value to offer her except a life committed to service and poverty. His love cannot possibly be enough. But Rachel, as deeply in love with David as he is with her, has other ideas. Perhaps life as a vicar's wife is exactly what will suit her. How dare he presume to tell her otherwise? How can he know what will make her happy? How can he, a clergyman, possibly suggest that in some circumstances love may not be enough? And if he cannot afford to woo her with expensive bouquets of flowers, then let him pick her a bunch of daisies. |

6. Band of Brothers - Stephen Edward Ambrose
|
|||
|
Stephen E. Ambrose’s iconic New York Times bestseller about the ordinary men who became the World War II’s most extraordinary soldiers: Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, US Army. They came together, citizen soldiers, in the summer of 1942, drawn to Airborne by the $50 monthly bonus and a desire to be better than the other guy. And at its peak—in Holland and the Ardennes—Easy Company was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From the rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to the disbanding in 1945, Stephen E. Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company. In combat, the reward for a job well done is the next tough assignment, and as they advanced through Europe, the men of Easy kept getting the tough assignments. They parachuted into France early D-Day morning and knocked out a battery of four 105 mm cannon looking down Utah Beach; they parachuted into Holland during the Arnhem campaign; they were the Battered Bastards of the Bastion of Bastogne, brought in to hold the line, although surrounded, in the Battle of the Bulge; and then they spearheaded the counteroffensive. Finally, they captured Hitler's Bavarian outpost, his Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were rough-and-ready guys, battered by the Depression, mistrustful and suspicious. They drank too much French wine, looted too many German cameras and watches, and fought too often with other GIs. But in training and combat they learned selflessness and found the closest brotherhood they ever knew. They discovered that in war, men who loved life would give their lives for them. This is the story of the men who fought, of the martinet they hated who trained them well, and of the captain they loved who led them. E Company was a company of men who went hungry, froze, and died for each other, a company that took 150 percent casualties, a company where the Purple Heart was not a medal—it was a badge of office. |

8. Pickles - Jan Davison
|
|||
|
From the fiery kimchi of Korea to American dill spears; from the spicy achar of India to the ceviche of Latin America; from Europe’s sauerkraut to brined herrings and chutneys, pickles are unquestionably a global food. They are also of the moment. Growing interest in naturally fermented vegetables—pickles by another name—means that today, in the early twenty-first century, we are seeing a renaissance in the making and consumption of pickles. Across continents and throughout history, humans have relied upon pickling to preserve foods and add to their flavor. Both a cherished food of the elite and a staple of the masses, pickles have also acquired new significance in our health-conscious times: traditionally fermented pickles are probiotic and said to possess anti-aging and anti-cancer properties, while pickle juice is believed to prevent muscle cramps in athletes and reduce sugar spikes in diabetics. Nota bene: It also cures hangovers. In Pickles , Jan Davison explores the cultural and gastronomic importance of pickles from the earliest civilizations’ brine-makers to twenty-first-century dilettantes of dill. Join Davison and discover the art of pickling as mastered by the ancient Chinese; find out why Korean astronaut Yi So-yeon took pickled cabbage into space in 2008; learn how the Japanese pickle the deadly puffer fish; and uncover the pickling provenance of that most popular of condiments, tomato ketchup. A compulsively consumable, globe-trotting tour sure to make you pucker, Davison’s book shows us how pickles have been omnipresent in humanity’s common quest not only to preserve foods, but to create them—with relish. |

14. Niemi - Juha Hurme
|
|||
|
Jokunen tovi alkuräjähdyksen jälkeen, astronomisten, geologisten ja sen sellaisten sattumien seurauksena, Telluksen pohjoisella pallonpuoliskolla alkoi törröttää niemi. Sitten tulikin vuosi 1809, ja siinäpä oikeastaan koko tarina olisikin, ellei tuolle 14 miljardin vuoden aikajänteelle mahtuisi joitakin niin kohottavia kuin askarruttaviakin episodeja, joiden kertomisesta saattaa olla lukijalle hyötyä ynnä huvia. Niemi on maailmankaikkeuden kulttuurihistoria à la Juha Hurme. Kustantamon pihistelyn vuoksi teos keskittyy tuon mainitun niemennökön ympäristöön, toki vertaillen sen saavutuksia eurooppalaiseen ja laajempaankin hengentuotantoon. Venäjän vallan aika ja Suomen tasavallan historia on siis jätetty pois. Hurmeen tutkain löytää aina uutta jo muka tiedetystä. Taiteilijan ja tieteilijän yhdistelmäkatse paikantaa niemen ylivertaisesti käännetyimmän tekstin satojen vuosien takaa, pureutuu kansanrunouteen ilman Kalevalan välikättä ja näyttää niemen perusteellisen kansainvälisyyden jo ajalta ennen ristiretkiä. Uskonkiihko ja typerä isottelu eivät ole kirjoit tajalle suuressa arvossa, sivistys, kulttuuri ja uuden keksiminen ovat. Juha Hurmeen Niemi ei ole vielä Suomi, mutta sellaisia piirteitä, juuria ja juonteita siinä on, jotka saattavat vaikuttaa tutuilta. |

Then bones are found on the site, and identified as those of Margaret Lacey, a twelve-year-old girl who disappeared thirty years ago. As the Margaret Lacey case progresses, more and more aspects of it begin to hark back to that first case of The Crossing Places , and to Scarlett Henderson, the girl Nelson couldn't save. The past is reaching out for Ruth and Nelson, and its grip is deadly. |
21. Empire of Pain - Patrick Radden Keefe
|
|||
|
A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin, by the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing   The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions—Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.       Empire of Pain begins with the story of three doctor brothers, Raymond, Mortimer and the incalculably energetic Arthur, who weathered the poverty of the Great Depression and appalling anti-Semitism. Working at a barbaric mental institution, Arthur saw a better way and conducted groundbreaking research into drug treatments. He also had a genius for marketing, especially for pharmaceuticals, and bought a small ad firm.       Arthur devised the marketing for Valium, and built the first great Sackler fortune. He purchased a drug manufacturer, Purdue Frederick, which would be run by Raymond and Mortimer. The brothers began collecting art, and wives, and grand residences in exotic locales. Their children and grandchildren grew up in luxury.       Forty years later, Raymond’s son Richard ran the family-owned Purdue. The template Arthur Sackler created to sell Valium—co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drug’s addictiveness—was employed to launch a far more potent product: OxyContin. The drug went on to generate some thirty-five billion dollars in revenue, and to launch a public health crisis in which hundreds of thousands would die.       This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early twentieth-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap d’Antibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C.  Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability. The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama—baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful.       Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling. It is a portrait of the excesses of America’s second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super elite and a relentless investigation of the naked greed and indifference to human suffering that built one of the world’s great fortunes. |

A #1 New York Times Bestseller  From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule... This novel includes the 2nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story. |

Kun pohjoiscarolinalaiselta suolta löytyy kylän oman kultapojan ruumis, epäilykset kääntyvät Kya Clarkiin, joka asuu marskimaan reunalla. Kouluja käymätön juopon tytär, köyhää valkoista roskasakkia – vai jotain aivan muuta? Kya on oppinut selviytymään yksin, ystävystymään suon eläinten kanssa ja lukemaan sen vesiä ja mättäitä. Mutta hänkin kaipaa rakkautta, ja kun villi luonto kohtaa ihmisten maailman, ei mikään ole enää entisellään. Suon villi laulu on ollut valtaisa myynti- ja arvostelumenestys Yhdysvalloissa, minkä lisäksi se ilmestyy yli 40 muussa maassa. Reese Witherspoonin tuotantoyhtiö on ostanut teoksen filmatisointioikeudet. ”Sanat eivät riitä kuvaamaan kuinka paljon rakastin tätä kirjaa! En halunnut tarinan päättyvän lainkaan.” Reese Witherspoon ”Yksinäisyydestä, selviytymisestä ja rakkaudesta kertova tarina, joka on yhtä mukaansatempaava kuin liikuttavakin.” Daily Mail ”Tämä ällistyttävä esikoinen on kaunis ja unohtumaton romaani, jossa piilee valtavaa voimaa. Kirja sai minut itkemään ensimmäistä kertaa pitkään aikaan.” Kristin Hannah, Satakielen kirjoittaja ”Eläväinen... Kya on unohtumaton sankaritar.” Publishers Weekly ”Teos on samaan aikaan kasvukertomus ja murhatutkintamysteeri nuoren tytön näkökulmasta kuvattuna. Kyan tarinan kautta Owens tutkailee sitä, kuinka eristys vaikuttaa ihmisen käytökseen ja kuinka syvästi hylkääminen vaikuttaa meihin.” Vanity Fair ”Runollinen... Kirjan vetovoima nousee Kyan syvästä yhteydestä kotipaikkaansa ja kaikkiin sen olentoihin.” Booklist ”Vangitseva mysteeri, jonka kerronta on niin valovoimaista, että se läpäisee sameimmankin suonsilmäkkeen mutaveden.” Augusta Chronicle ”Hätkähdyttävä esikoinen.” People Delia Owens on ennen esikoisromaaniaan kirjoittanut elämäkerrallisia teoksia tutkijanelämästään Afrikan luonnon keskellä. Hän on opiskellut eläintieteitä Georgiassa sekä eläinten käyttäytymistiedettä Kalifornian yliopistossa ja asuu tätä nykyä Pohjois-Carolinan vuoristossa. |

But no, she is very real—and his duty to the Crown means he's stuck with her.  Can two wrongs make the most perfect right?  When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal—though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent.

34. In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
|
|||
|
The most famous true crime novel of all time and one of the first non-fiction novels ever written; In Cold Blood is the bestseller that haunted its author long after he finished writing it. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.  As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy.  In Cold Blood  is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence. |

44. Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life & Death of Jimi Hendrix - Mick Wall
|
|||
|
Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people. But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play . Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways - and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock. And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death. Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon. Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth , has drawn upon his own interviews and extensive research to produce an inimitable, novelistic telling of this tale - the definitive portrait of the Guitar God at whose altar other guitar gods worship. Jimi Hendrix's is a story that has been told many times before - but never quite like this. |
45. An Irresistible Alliance - Stephanie Laurens
|
|||
|
A duke’s second son with no responsibilities and a lady starved of the excitement her soul craves join forces to unravel a deadly, potentially catastrophic threat to the realm - that only continues to grow. With his older brother’s betrothal announced, Lord Michael Cynster is freed from the pressure of familial expectations. However, the allure of his previous hedonistic pursuits has paled. Then he learns of the mission his brother, Sebastian, and Lady Antonia Rawlings have been assisting with and volunteers to assist by hunting down the hoard of gunpowder now secreted somewhere in London. Michael sets out to trace the carters who transported the gunpowder from Kent to London. His quest leads him to the Hendon Shipping Company, where he discovers his sole source of information is the only daughter of Jack and Kit Hendon, Miss Cleome Hendon, who although a fetchingly attractive lady, firmly holds the reins of the office in her small hands. Cleo has fought to achieve her position in the company. Initially, managing the office was a challenge, but she now conquers all in just a few hours a week. With her three brothers all adventuring in America, she’s been driven to the realization that she craves adventure, too. When Michael Cynster walks in and asks about carters, Cleo’s instincts leap. She wrings from him the full tale of his mission—and offers him a bargain. She will lead him to the carters he seeks if he agrees to include her as an equal partner in the mission. Horrified, Michael attempts to resist, but ultimately finds himself agreeing—a sequence of events he quickly learns is common around Cleo. Then she delivers on her part of the bargain, and he finds there are benefits to allowing her to continue to investigate beside him—not least being that if she’s there, then he knows she’s safe. But the further they go in tracing the gunpowder, the more deaths they uncover. And when they finally locate the barrels, they find themselves tangled in a fight to the death—one that forces them to face what has grown between them, to seize and defend what they both see as their path to the greatest adventure of all. A shared life. A shared future. A shared love. Second volume in a trilogy. A historical romance with gothic overtones layered over a continuing intrigue. A full length novel of 101,000 words. Praise for the works of Stephanie Laurens “Stephanie Laurens’ heroines are marvelous tributes to Georgette Heyer: feisty and strong.” Cathy Kelly “Stephanie Laurens never fails to entertain and charm her readers with vibrant plots, snappy dialogue, and unforgettable characters.” Historical Romance Reviews “Stephanie Laurens plays into readers’ fantasies like a master and claims their hearts time and again.” Romantic Times Magazine |
46. Chapter and Verse - Bernard Sumner
|
|||
|
Bernard Sumner pioneered the post-punk movement when he broke onto the scene as a founding member of Joy Division, and later as the front man of New Order. Heavily influencing U2 and The Cure while paving the way for post-punk revivalists like Interpol, Sumner's has left an indelible mark on punk and rock music that endures to this day. Famously reluctant to speak out, for the first time Sumner tell his story, a vivid and illuminating account of his childhood in Manchester, the early days of Joy Division, and the bands subsequent critical and popular successes. Sumner recounts Ian Curtis' tragic death on the eve of the band's first American tour, the formation of breakout band New Order, and his own first-hand account of the ecstasy and the agony of the 1970s Manchester music scene. Witty, fascinating and surprisingly moving, Chapter and Verse is an account of insights and spectacular personal revelations, including an appendix containing a complete transcript of a recording made of Ian Curtis experiencing hypnotic regression under the Sumner's amateur guidance and tensions between himself and former band member Peter Hook. |
47. Steve Jobs (Finnish Edition) - Walter Isaacson
|
|||
|
Steve Jobs oli digiajan ikoni, aikamme vallankumouksellisin yritysjohtaja. Steve Jobs perusti yrityksen, jossa luovan mielikuvituksen ja insinööritaitojen ennakkoluuloton yhdistelmä synnytti ennennäkemättömän menestystarinan. Huimat ideat muuntuivat tuotteiksi, jotka mullistivat useita teollisuudenaloja tietokone- ja musiikkiteollisuudesta matkapuhelimiin ja digitaaliseen kustantamiseen. Jobsin innovaatiot vaikuttavat ihmisten elämään kaikkialla maailmassa. Elämäkerta perustuu kahden vuoden aikana tehtyihin kymmeniin Jobsin itsensä sekä perheenjäsenten, ystävien, vihamiesten, kilpailijoiden ja kollegoiden haastatteluihin. Jobs ei asettanut minkäänlaisia vaatimuksia kirjan sisällön suhteen, päinvastoin, hän rohkaisi tuntemiaan ihmisiä puhumaan avoimesti ja rehellisesti. Myös Steve Jobs puhui suoraan henkilöistä, joiden kanssa hän on työskennellyt ja kilpaillut. Haastateltujen kertomasta välittyy kaunistelematon kuva Jobsin poikkeuksellisesta persoonasta. Särmikäs Jobs saattoi ajaa ihmiset ympärillään raivoon ja epätoivoon, mutta myös huippusuorituksiin. Hänen pakkomielteensä, taiteellisuutensa, intohimonsa ja kunnianhimonsa näkyivät niin hänen johtamistyylissään kuin yksityiselämässään.  Steve Jobs kuoli 5.10.2011 ”Steve Jobs oli suurin keksijä sitten Thomas Edisonin. Hän toi maailman sormenpäihimme.” – Steven Spielberg ”Steven intohimo yksinkertaisuuteen ja eleganssiin jättää meille perinnön, joka säilyy sukupolvien ajan.” – Stephen Elop |

52. Emotional Intelligence - Daniel Goleman
|
|||
|
#1 BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author   “A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial.”— USA Today Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until  Emotional Intelligence,  we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds”—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart—and they aren’t fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood—with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work.    The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence could not come at a better time—we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and our children are picking up new technology faster than we ever imagined. With a new introduction from the author, the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition prepares readers, now more than ever, to reach their fullest potential and stand out from the pack with the help of EI. |

|

|
Kun keneenkään ei voi luottaa - ei edes itseensä. Kristina Olssonin Sairaat sielut on klassinen kauhuromaani pikkukaupunkimiljöössä. Kolmekymppinen Lukas palaa kymmenen vuoden poissaolon jälkeen Kristianstadin pikkukaupunkiin. Äitiä ja isää jännittää poikansa paluu ja naapuruston pitsiverhojen takanakin näkyy hermostunutta liikehdintää - mitä oikein tapahtui kymmenen vuotta sitten? Lukas ei muista. Sitä ei usko naapurin Gunnar, jonka tytär katosi juuri samalla tavalla kuin Lukas - yhtäkkiä kesken kouluviikon - mutta Lukas palasi kotiin kolmen viikon poissaolon jälkeen, pahoin runneltuna, muistinsa menettäneenä ja henkitoreissaan. Naapurin Fanny ei koskaan palannut. Lukas on yrittänyt olla ajattelematta menneisyyttä, mutta nyt on tullut aika ottaa selvää siitä mitä todella tapahtui. Samaan aikaan Lukaksen kanssa muuttaa entisille kotikulmille David nuorikkonsa Annan kanssa. Anna ja David ovat ostaneet vanhan pappilan kodikseen ja kunnostavat sitä innoissaan uutta elämää varten. Anna kokee talossa outoja sattumuksia, jotka David panee väsymyksen ja herkän mielialan tiliin - mutta palava puu pihamaalla on merkki joka on pakko ottaa tosissaan. Nimetön paha on odottanut varjoissa palatakseen. Kristina Ohlsson tekee uuden aluevaltauksen, dekkarimuotoinen kauhuromaani Sairaat sielut sisältää kaikki ainekset joista koukuttava lukukokemus syntyy: karmivia yksityiskohtia, psykologista jännitystä ja rauhallinen pikkukaupunkiympäristö jossa tapahtumien outous ja kauhistuttavuus erityisesti korostuvat. Sairaat sielut ilmestyi Ruotsissa syksyllä 2017 ja nousi välittömästi Ohlssonin muiden teosten tapaan bestsellerlistojen kärkisijoille. |

**AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW** The author of the Sunday Times bestselling Outlander series returns with the newest novel in the epic tale. The past may seem the safest place to be . . . but it is the most dangerous time to be alive . . . Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1743, and it took them twenty years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser's Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible. Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell's tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won't be long until the war is on his doorstep. Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s - among them disease, starvation, and an impending war - was indeed the safer choice for their family. Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father's identity - and thus his own - and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet . . . on his son's behalf, and his own. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser's Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before. |

63. Miksi nukumme - Unen voima - Matthew Walker & Heikki Eskelinen
|
|||
|
Kansainvälinen bestseller Kiehtovaa tietoa unen hyvää tekevästä voimasta ja runsaasti neuvoja paremman unen saavuttamiseen. Maineikkaan Berkeleyn yliopiston neurotieteen ja psykologian professori Matthew Walker avaa kirjassaan unta koskevaa uutta tutkimusta ja kertoo, miten unen uudistava voima voidaan valjastaa elämänlaadun parantamiseen. Uni on yksi elämän, hyvinvoinnin ja pitkäikäisyyden tärkeimmistä osatekijöistä. Nykyään tiedämme, että uni parantaa oppimiskykyä, muistia ja loogista päättelykykyä. Se muokkaa tunteita, uudistaa immuunijärjestelmää, hienosäätää aineenvaihduntaa ja säätelee ruokahalua. Unet liennyttävät kipeitä muistoja ja luovat virtuaalitodellisuuden, jossa aivot sulauttavat nykyhetken tietoa osaksi vanhaa ja sysäävät liikkeelle luovuuden voimat. Miten kofeiini ja alkoholi vaikuttavat uneen? Mitä REM-unen aikana todella tapahtuu? Miksi nukkumistavat muuttuvat iän myötä? Entä miten unilääkkeet vaikuttavat? Walker kertoo, miten unta voi käyttää parantamaan oppimiskykyä, mielialaa ja jaksamista, säätelemään hormonitoimintaa, ehkäisemään niin syöpää, Alzheimerin tautia kuin diabetestakin, hidastamaan ikääntymisen vaikutuksia, pidentämään elinikää sekä kasvattamaan työn tehoa ja tuottavuutta. Neurotieteen ja psykologian professori Matthew Walker on Kalifornian yliopiston (Berkeley) uni- ja neurokuvantamislaboratorion johtaja ja on toiminut aiemmin myös Harvard Medical Schoolin psykiatrian professorina. Hän on keskittynyt tutkimuksissaan etenkin unen terveydellisiin vaikutuksiin. Walker on julkaissut runsaasti tieteellisiä tutkimusartikkeleita ja tuonut tutkimustuloksiaan esiin lukuisissa radio- ja televisioesiintymisissä. |
64. Still Lives - Maria Hummel
|
|||
|
Twelve shocking paintings. Eleven famous murders. One missing artist . . . and one woman driven to find her—this Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine Selection is a “stunning achievement” ( Los Angeles Times ). Kim Lord is an avant–garde figure, feminist icon, and agent provocateur in the L.A. art scene. Her groundbreaking new exhibition Still Lives is comprised of self–portraits depicting herself as famous, murdered women―the Black Dahlia, Chandra Levy, Nicole Brown Simpson, among many others―and the works are as compelling as they are disturbing, implicating a culture that is too accustomed to violence against women. As the city’s richest art patrons pour into the Rocque Museum’s opening night, all the staff, including editor Maggie Richter, hope the event will be enough to save the historic institution’s flailing finances. Except Kim Lord never shows up to her own gala. Fear mounts as the hours and days drag on and Lord remains missing. Suspicion falls on the up–and–coming gallerist Greg Shaw Ferguson, who happens to be Maggie’s ex. A rogue’s gallery of eccentric art world figures could also have motive for the act, and as Maggie gets drawn into her own investigation of Lord’s disappearance, she’ll come to suspect all of those closest to her. Set against a culture that often fetishizes violence, Still Lives is a page–turning exodus into the art world’s hall of mirrors, and one woman’s journey into the belly of an industry flooded with money and secrets. “It’s a thrilling mystery that will leave you wondering which characters you can and can’t trust . . . There’s a twist at the end that still keeps us up at night, it's THAT good.” —Reese Witherspoon (A Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine Selection) |

66. Turn Autism Around - Mary Lynch Barbera, Ph.D.
|
|||
|
This is the first book of its kind that calls attention to an important fact: parents can make a tremendous impact on their child through behavioral practices taught at home. Dr. Barbera has created a tool kit that any parent can use to help remediate--and in some cases eliminate-some symptoms of autism and other developmental delays in young children, even in as little as 15 minutes a day. Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age, yet children are often not diagnosed until they are 4 or 5 years old. In Turn Autism Around , Dr. Mary Barbera explains why parents can't afford to worry and wait in long lines for evaluations and treatment while not knowing how to help their children. She empowers parents, caregivers, and early intervention professionals to regain hope and take back control with simple strategies to dramatically improve outcomes for their children. Dr. Barbera has created a new approach to teaching kids with developmental delays that uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) married with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use--whether or not their child has delays--to learn to teach communication skills, socialization strategies, as well as tackle sleep, eating, potty training, and behavior challenges in a positive, effective, and lasting way. Turn Autism Around is the first book of its kind that calls attention to an important fact: parents can make a tremendous impact on their child's development through behavioral practices taught at home, even in as little as 15 minutes a day. Her program shows these autism and developmental delays can be remediated, and in some cases, delays can be caught up altogether, if parents intervene while the child is young. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can change the trajectory of their child's and family's life. |

In this final installment of his internationally bestselling three-part memoir—including The Hacienda and Unknown Pleasures—British rocker Peter Hook focuses on the 1980s New Wave and Dance Punk scene and the rise of one of the most influential bands of the Second British Invasion: New Order. 1980. Resurrected from the ashes of Joy Division after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis, New Order would become one most critically acclaimed and important bands of the decade and beyond. With their hits "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Perfect Kiss", and "Blue Monday"—the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time—Peter Hook and company quickly rose to the top of the alternative music scene. Widely regarded as the godfathers of electronic dance music, their sound would influence Moby, The Chemical Brothers, The Postal Service, The Killers, and other acts that followed in their wake. Hook tells the complete, unvarnished story of New Order’s founding and evolution; the band’s experiences in the New York City club scene and rapid rise to international fame, its impact on house music, techno, and rave; and its eventual rancorous dissolution. Full of Hook’s "gleefully profane" (Entertainment Weekly) humor and vivid, witty storytelling, Substance is the most important and certainly the most controversial part of his story, emanating with drugs, booze, and sex. Complete with timelines, discographies, gigographies and track-by-track analysis, and exclusive photographs and archival images from Hook’s personal collection, it is the definitive, comprehensive history of New Order and a compelling snapshot of the '80s cultural scene in all its neon-hued glory. |

83. Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase - Marion Meade
|
|||
|
An American icon, Joseph Frank “Buster” Keaton is easily acknowledged as one of the greatest filmmakers in early cinema and beyond. His elaborate slapstick made audiences scream with laughter. But, his stone face hid an internal turmoil. In BUSTER KEATON: CUT TO THE CHASE, biographer Marion Meade seamlessly lays out the life and works of this comedy genius who lacked any formal education. “Buster” made his name as a child of vaudeville, thrown around the stage by his father in a cartoon pantomime of very real abuse. The lessons he carried forward from that experience translated into some of the greatest silent films of all time. Keaton wrote, directed, performed, and edited dozens of features and shorts, including his masterpiece, The General. However, those early scars also led to decades of drinking and mistreatment of women. Keaton saw huge successes, Hollywood sex scandals, years of neglect from studios and audiences, and finally a shaky resurrection that assured his place in Hollywood’s film canon. Meticulously researched, this book brings together four years of research and hundreds of interviews to paint a nuanced portrait of a compelling artist. No comedy fan or film buff should miss this insider story of the man behind the stone face.  |
84. Top Dog - Ashley Merryman & Po Bronson

Compete better... In a competitive situation our bodies can experience the same level of stress hormones as jumping out of a plane. Competition is often the key to outstanding achievement. But what is it that makes the difference between rising to the challenge and buckling under pressure? Using groundbreaking studies in diverse scientific fields, Bronson and Merryman demonstrate that understanding how to harness our competitive fire means we can perform our best – whether the contest is sporting, academic or in the workplace. Why are men typically prepared to gamble on long or even stupid odds and women aren’t? Why do some less talented students consistently outperform their smarter class mates in crucial exams? Why do higher levels of testosterone actually make you less selfish and more cooperative and cognitively astute? Why do so many market-leading companies cede their top position because they become risk averse at the wrong times? Why do sports teams where the pay differential between players is the greatest win more? The answer to all this and more is in New York Times no.1 bestselling authors Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's Top Dog:The Science of Winning and Losing ‘A great read for those paralyzed by the fear of failure as well as thosewho hunger for success’ Huffington Post |
