Jane Austen is without question, one of England’s most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature’s most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland inNorthanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park; her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; Emma – ‘a heroine whom no one but myself will like’ teased Austen – yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight; or the efforts of Mrs Bennet in trying to find a good match for each of her five daughters in Pride and Prejudice.Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society’s whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose. The edition includes Lady Susan, Sanditon and other stories.

A Room of Oneâ ™s Own (1929) has become a classic feminist essay and perhaps Virginia Woolfâ ™s best known work; The Voyage Out (1915) is highly significant as her first novel. Both focus on the place of women within the power structures of modern society.The essay lays bare the woman artistâ ™s struggle for a voice, since throughout history she has been denied the social and economic independence assumed by men. Woolfâ ™s prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a manâ ™s, she must have an independent income, and a room of her own. This is both an acute analysis and a spirited rallying cry; it remains surprisingly resonant and relevant in the 21st century.The novel explores these issues more personally, through the character of Rachel Vinrace, a young woman whose â ˜voyage outâ ™ to South America opens up powerful encounters with her fellow-travellers, men and women. As she begins to understand her place in the world, she finds the happiness of love, but also sees its brute power. Woolf has a sharp eye for the comedy of English manners in a foreign milieu; but the final undertow of the novel is tragic as, in some of her finest writing, she calls up the essential isolation of the human spirit.

The human brain is made up of 85 billion neurons, which are connected by over 100 trillion synapses. For more than a century, a diverse array of researchers searched for a language that could be used to capture the essence of what these neurons do and how they communicate â “ and how those communications create thoughts, perceptions and actions. The language they were looking for was mathematics, and we would not be able to understand the brain as we do today without it.In Models of the Mind, author and computational neuroscientist Grace Lindsay explains how mathematical models have allowed scientists to understand and describe many of the brainâ ™s processes, including decision-making, sensory processing, quantifying memory, and more. She introduces readers to the most important concepts in modern neuroscience, and highlights the tensions that arise when the abstract world of mathematical modelling collides with the messy details of biology. Each chapter of Models of the Mind focuses on mathematical tools that have been applied in a particular area of neuroscience, progressing from the simplest building block of the brain â “ the individual neuron â “ through to circuits of interacting neurons, whole brain areas and even the behaviours that brains command. Lindsay examines the history of the field, starting with experiments done on frog legs in the late eighteenth century and building to the large models of artificial neural networks that form the basis of modern artificial intelligence. Throughout, she reveals the value of using the elegant language of mathematics to describe the machinery of neuroscience.

This is the second story from incredible author–illustrator Ashling Lindsay after An Unexpected Thing in 2022, shortlisted for the Academy of British Book Cover Design Award.Pip lived all alone on one side of a beautiful, wide valley. And he had absolutely everything he needed. Every morning he drank his tea, watered his plants and checked his post box for letters. And every night, he sat and looked out into the deep dark sky at the planets, comets and stars. And sometimes it made him feel quite small. Until one day, a leaf fluttered in through Pip’s open window. He looked at it. It was not an ordinary leaf—it certainly didn’t belong to any of the trees on his side of the valley. It shimmered and shone in the sunlight and was unlike anything Pip had ever seen before! But where did it come from? Pip peered out of his window and wondered... maybe there was something more on the other side of the Valley after all. This is a meaningful picture book all about travel, exploration and trying new things, encouraging little ones who may be stuck in their ways to venture out of their comfort zones. Whether it’s trying new foods, reading new books or preparing to go to a new school, there’s something for all readers to take away from this sweet fable.

Pôvabný román o osude, o druhých šanciach, o nájdení dávno stratenej nádeje z pera najpredávanejšej autorky podľa rebríčka Amazon Charts, ktorá sa preslávila románom Posledná žena z rodu Moonovcov. V tomto čarovnom príbehu Barbara Davisová umne prepletá príbehy dvoch žien, ktoré zdanlivo zviedla dokopy náhoda. Po objave vintage svadobných šiat a hŕbe listov sa ich cesty pretnú a ony ani len netušia, ako pevne sú prepletené. Pochádzajú z dvoch rozdielnych generácií a dvoch odlišných kontinentov, no príbeh jednej odráža príbeh druhej – obe zažili obrovskú lásku a obrovskú stratu a obe sa už vzdali nádeje, že sa im tú škodu podarí napraviť. Lenže ich stretnutie im od základov zmení životy. Zvedie ich dokopy, no obe si chránia svoje zlomené srdcia a pomaly si odhalia svoje rany. No to, čo im pomohlo zblížiť sa, má tiež silu ich rozdeliť. Ak si odmietnu otvoriť srdcia a veriť v moc osudu, možno premeškajú druhú šancu na šťastie a nepodarí sa im nájsť lásku, o ktorú prišli. Barbara Davisová šikovne dokazuje, že veci sa skutočne dejú z nejakého dôvodu, a je len na nás, či sa otvoríme čaru možností. U veľkom úspechu jej najnovšieho románu nesvedčí len obrovské množstvo nadšených ohlasov čitateľov, ale aj stále umiestnenie v rebríčkoch najpredávanejších kníh v jednotlivých krajinách. Soline Rousselová dobre ovláda svoje remeslo v obchode so šťastnými koncami. Po celé generácie vedie jej rodina exkluzívny svadobný salón v Paríži, kde pomocou ihly a nite ožívajú kúzla. Traduje sa, že nevestu, ktorá vykročí k oltáru v rousselovských svadobných šatách, čaká život plný radosti. No ničivá strata z čias druhej svetovej vojny zmení Solinin život a srdce na trosky, otrasie jej vierou v lásku. Svoje spomienky uzavrie do škatule a odloží ju aj s nesplnenými snami, odhodlaná zabudnúť. O niekoľko desaťročí sa Rory Grantová, potenciálna majiteľka galérie, pokúša vyrovnať s vlastnou tragickou stratou. Prenajme si od Soline starú budovu a objaví v nej škatuľu s listami a nenosenými svadobnými šatami vo vintage štýle. Keď Rory vráti spomienky majiteľke, vznikne medzi nimi nezvyčajné priateľstvo a na povrch sa začne predierať tajuplná podobnosť ich životov. Akoby osud chcel, aby sa stretli. A možno Rory pomôže Soline napraviť štyridsaťročnú neprávosť a otvoriť dvere k spoločnému zahojeniu rán – a možno aj k štipke mágie.

Správná póza je základ kvalitní fotografie. Naučte se, jak prostřednictvím pózování dosáhnout přesně toho, co chcete! Při fotografování lidí můžete mít skvělou kompozici, dokonalé světlo a správné nastavení fotoaparátu, ale pokud váš objekt nevypadá správně – pokud póza „nefunguje“ – nedosáhnete dokonalého snímku. Pózování je skutečně zásadní dovedností, kterou fotografové musí mít, aby vytvořili skvělé fotografie. Pokud chcete zlepšit svou schopnost pózovat objekty, ať už jsou to muži, ženy, páry, nebo skupiny, kniha skvělé fotografky Lindsay Adlerové Průvodce fotografováním portrétů a postav: Jak vytvořit skvělé fotografie v každé situaci (The Photographer s Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone) je pro vás dokonalým zdrojem informací. V první části knihy Lindsay pojednává o tom, jak fotoaparát „vidí“, tedy, jak úhel fotoaparátu, výběr objektivu a perspektiva ovlivňují vzhled vašeho objektu. Poté pokryje pět nejdůležitějších věcí, které ničí pózu – jako je umístění rukou, výraz, držení těla atd. Pokud zvládnete dávat si pozor na těchto pět věcí, vaše dovednosti (a vaše snímky) se rychle zlepší. Následně se ponoříte do „základů pózování“, dozvíte se postup, jak začít se „základní pózou“, jak na ní stavět a vytvořit tak nekonečné příležitosti k pózování. Zabývat se budete také pózováním obličeje, v knize najdete specifické části věnované bradě, čelisti, očím a čelu. A samozřejmě také pózování rukou. Ve druhé polovině knihy věnuje autorka celé kapitoly konkrétnímu tématu: ženám, mužům, párům, ženám s křivkami, rodinám a malým i velkým skupinám. V každé kapitole jsou řešeny specifické výzvy daného úkolu. Lindsay nabízí pět „běžných pozic“, které můžete vždy použít, a popisuje, jak trénovat oko, aby určilo nejlepší pózu pro vaše modely. V poslední kapitole je vše přehledně shrnuto tak, abyste si byli jisti, že máte veškeré znalosti, které vás dovedou k dokonalým fotografiím. O autorce Módní fotografka Lindsay Adlerová je špičkou ve svém oboru, a to jako fotografka, tak i jako pedagožka.
