escape from asylum roux madeleine

In this terrifying prequel novel to the New York Times bestselling Asylum series, a teen is wrongfully committed to the Brookline psychiatric hospital and must find a way out—before he becomes the next victim of the evil warden’s experiments.With the page-turning suspense and unsettling found photographs from real asylums that led Publishers Weekly to call Asylum “a strong YA debut,” Escape from Asylum is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine''s Home for Peculiar Children.The nightmare is just beginning.Ricky Desmond has been through this all before. If he could just get through to his mother, he could convince her that he doesn’t belong at Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program—a program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect him—Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second longer. With the help of a sympathetic nurse and a fellow patient, Ricky needs to escape now.Set long before Dan, Abby, and Jordan ever walked the hallways of the Brookline asylum—back when it was still a functioning psych ward and not a dorm—Escape from Asylum is a mind-bending and scary installment in the Asylum series that can stand on its own for new readers or provide missing puzzle pieces for series fans.

The journey through the dangerous Gottyar Wood that many don’t survive.Filled with deadly and cunning creatures, the Gottyar immediately delivers on its reputation with an attack that leaves Valla injured; her face torn to shreds. Barely making it to the castle in one piece, Valla is relieved to finally be safe. But things have changed. Valla’s face is no longer beautiful. And the Count is not happy…Valla thought making it through the Gottyar was a victory, but when she sees what awaits beyond the palace walls, the true battle begins.In this ruthlessly female-forward narrative that borrows from the best of horror, fairy tales, and folklore, a chewed-up-and-spit-out heroine must lean on the brutality of nature and her biggest fears in order to win back what’s she''s been robbed of: her life.

''Trust me, this is a great true story'' - Ken Follett ''It deserves to be ranked among the great survival stories of the Second World War'' - The Jewish Chronicle ~~~~~ The captivating true story of one boy''s flight across Europe to escape the Nazis. A tale of extraordinary courage, incredible adventure, and the relentless pursuit of life in the face of impossible challenges. In early 1940 Chaim Herszman was locked in to the Lódz Ghetto in Poland. Hungry, fearless and determined, he goes on scavenging missions outside the wire limits, until he is forced to kill a Nazi guard. That moment changes the course of his life, and sets him on an unbelievable adventure across enemy lines. Chaim avoids grenade and rifle fire on the Russian border, shelters with a German family in Berlin, falls in love in occupied France, is captured on a mountain pass in Spain, gets interrogated as a potential Nazi spy in Britain, and eventually fights for everything he believes in as part of the British Army. He protects his life by posing as an Aryan boy with a crucifix around his neck, and fights for his life through terrible and astonishing circumstances. Escape from the Ghetto is about a normal boy who faced extermination by the Nazis in the ghetto or a Nazi deathcamp, and the extraordinary life he led in avoiding that fate. It''s a bittersweet story about epic hope, beauty amidst horror, and the triumph of the human spirit. John Carr is Henry Carr''s eldest son, and in Escape From the Ghetto he has recreated his father''s incredible adventure, through recordings and transcribed conversations in later life. For fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Saboteur of Auschwitz and The Volunteer, this is the incredible true story of escape from the Nazis during World War II. REVIEWS ''John Carr deserves our gratitude for rescuing this World War Two story, among the most dramatic and vivid I''ve read.'' - Edward Stourton, author of Cruel Crossing''A truly breathtaking story - the dramatic account of 13 year old Chaim''s four year journey from the Lodz ghetto in Nazi-occupied Poland, through Germany, France, Spain and Gibraltar to London. Written with the pace and tension of a thriller, all the more gripping because it is a true story.'' - Alex Gerlis, author of Agent in Berlin ''This is an unbelievable story that is all completely true. The life described is astonishing. John Carr has done an extraordinary and riveting job uncovering the real father behind the dad he thought he knew.'' - Lord Tony Hall ''Utterly Compelling. It is an extraordinary tale, brilliantly written'' - Alastair Stewart ''Extraordinary.''- Fiona MacTaggart ''The remarkable story of a Jewish boy who killed a Nazi guard and escaped the Holocaust aged 13'' - The Times ''Unputdownable. A gripping, life affirming story of survival against seemingly impossible odds.'' - Deborah Cadbury, author of Princes at War ''This is a book you cannot put down... Passionate and spellbinding, and an absolute must read.'' - Julia Neuberger "John Carr''s book gives a truly riveting account of his teenage Dad''s life on the run in Nazi-occupied Europe. It serves as a reminder of the cruel and arbitrary realities of the refugee experience. It won''t be on Priti Patel''s reading list but it should be on yours." - Jon Bloomfield "An eloquent tribute to courage and resourcefulness, Escape from the Ghetto, is a gripping page turner." - Esther Safran Foer "One of the most extraordinary books I have ever read" - Michael Dobbs, author of House of Cards

The received wisdom in quantum physics is that, at the deepest levels of reality, there are no actual causes for atomic events. This idea led to the outlandish belief that quantum objects - indeed, reality itself - aren't real unless shaped by human measurement. Einstein mocked this idea, asking whether his bed spread out across his room unless he looked at it.And yet it remains one of the most influential ideas in science and our culture. In Escape from Shadow Physics, Adam Forrest Kay takes up Einstein's torch: reality isn't mysterious or dependent on human measurement, but predictable and independent of us. At the heart of his argument is groundbreaking research with little drops of oil.These droplets behave as particles do in the long-overlooked quantum theory of pilot waves; crucially, they display quantum behaviour while being described by classical physics. What if the original doubters of our quantum orthodoxy (not least Einstein himself) were onto something? What if pilot wave theory was right all along? In that case, our whole story of twentieth-century physics is topsy-turvy and we must give up the idea that reality is simply too weird to grasp. Weird it may still be, but a true understanding of nature now seems within our reach.

''A brilliant account of how models are so often abused and of how they should be used'' John KayHow do mathematical models shape our world - and how can we harness their power for good?Models are at the centre of everything we do. Whether we use them or are simply affected by them, they act as metaphors that help us better understand the increasingly complex problems facing us in the modern world. Without models, we couldn''t begin to tackle three of the major challenges facing modern society: regulation of the economy, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet in recent years, the validity of the models we use has been hotly debated and there has been renewed awareness of the disastrous consequences when the makers and interpreters of models get things wrong.Drawing on contemporary examples from finance, climate and health policy, Erica Thompson explores what models are, why we need them, how they work and what happens when they go wrong. This is not a book that argues we should do away with models, but rather, that we need to properly understand how they are constructed - and how some of the assumptions that underlie the models we use can have significant unintended consequences. Unexpectedly humorous, thought-provoking and passionate, this is essential reading for everyone.

Almost forgotten by time, tucked away beyond the sight of the passerby, there is a little piece of old England, which was for many years a forgotten wilderness. If it were not for a weather-beaten plaque on the gatepost few would realise that beyond the rusted gates there lies, in unmarked paupersÂ’ graves, 2,861 former patients of the once formidable Menston Asylum.To be admitted to a lunatic asylum in the nineteenth century was fraught with danger, and in many cases meant a life sentence hidden away from society. It is estimated as many as 30 per cent of the asylum population was incarcerated incorrectly and up until 1959 there was no form of appeal.Looking into the faces of the long dead, the forgotten former inmates of this once bustling institution, it is impossible not to feel a certain sadness at their plight. Abandoned by an intolerant society and their families these people all had one thing in common, when death came there was no one to shed a tear or collect their remains. They were given a pauperÂ’s funeral and forgotten, until now.

After The Dance delves into the intriguing life of South African artist Le Roux Smith Le Roux (1914–1963), a brilliant yet obsessive outsider who was appointed Deputy Keeper of the Tate Gallery in 1950 at the age of thirty-six. Renowned for his sharp intelligence and methodical approach, Le Roux boldly questions the price paid by Director Sir John Rothenstein for the Degas sculpture, Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen. While Le Roux excels in his professional life, his personal relationships are chaotic. The biography unveils the complexities of a talented man whose life was tumultuous as it was remarkable. The narrative describes the Great Tate Affair (1952–1954), offering a fresh perspective that challenges the accepted narrative shaped by Rothenstein’s flawed account. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this book invites readers to reconsider one of art history’s most controversial episodes.

Madeleine Albrightové nebylo ještě ani dvanáct, a už na vlastní oči viděla několik dějinných dramat — nacistickou okupaci rodného Československa, bombardování Londýna, kam se její rodina uchýlila do exilu, vítězství Spojenců ve druhé světové válce, vzestup komunismu a počátek studené války. V Pražské zimě nyní Madeleine Albrightová líčí právě těch bouřlivých dvanáct let. Vychází přitom z někdejších dětských zážitků i ze své politické a akademické erudice, mísí rodinné vzpomínky a písemné dokumenty se záznamy aktérů tehdejšího dění a předkládá čtenářům působivou dějinnou fresku i niterné svědectví. Tyto dva póly jejího vyprávění se neustále doplňují i svářejí: autorka zkoumá minulost z hlediska nadčasových dilemat a zároveň vypráví velice osobní příběh s univerzálním dopadem. Kniha zavede čtenáře z Pražského hradu do londýnských protileteckých krytů, z bezútěšného terezínského ghetta na zasedání předních světových státníků; Madeleine Albrightová se tu zamýšlí nad svým židovským původem, o němž se dozvěděla až ve zralém věku, rozebírá komplikovanou českou historii i nelehká mravní rozhodnutí, s nimiž se musela vyrovnávat generace jejích rodičů. Na základě svědectví současníků ukazuje, jak byly miliony obyčejných lidí vytrženy z rodinného prostředí a ocitly se v rolích exilových vůdců, odbojářů i kolaborantů, obětí i vrahů. Tyto nesmírně složité dějinné události jsou přitom utvářeny pojmy, jejichž smysl si člověk osvojí už v dětství: strachem, důvěrou, přizpůsobivostí, hledáním vlastní identity či vnímáním rozdílu mezi dobrem a zlem. „Nikomu, kdo byl na světě mezi lety 1937 a 1948,“ píše Madeleine Albrightová, „nebyl cizí hluboký smutek. Zahynuly miliony nevinných a na jejich smrt se nikdy nesmí zapomenout. Ztracené životy už dnes nenahradíme, máme však povinnost zjistit co nejvíce o tom, proč a jak se to všechno událo. Knihu vzpomínek Madeleine Albrightové nejlépe přiblížil nedlouho před svým úmrtím autorčin blízký přítel Václav Havel: "Madeleine Albrightová napsala strhující příběh plný dobrodružství a vášně, tragédie a odvahy na pozadí okupovaného Československa během druhé světové války a následujících tří let, vedoucích k Únoru 1948. Ve své knize nabízí svěží, neotřelý pohled na události, jež formovaly její život a pozdější kariéru, a dovádí nás k hlubokému zamyšlení o mravních dilematech, které se projevovaly i v našich životech."

The third book in Madeleine L'Engle's spellbinding A Wrinkle in Time Quintet."Another provocative spellbinding tale." -Philadelphia InquirerSome things have to be believed to be seen.Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal, run-of-the-mill ones in the extraodinary Murry family. They garden, make an occasional A in school, and play baseball. Nothing especially interesting has happened to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their father's experiment.Then the two boys are thrown across time and space. They find themselves alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can find unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will find them.The twins are rescued by Japheth, a man from the nearby oasis, but before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost. Each boy is quickly embroiled in the conflicts of this time and place, whose populations includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts, perilous and beautiful nephilim, and small, long lived humans who consider Sandy and Dennys giants. The boys find they have more to do in the oasis than simply getting themselves home--they have to reunite an estranged father and son, but it won't be easy, especially when the son is named Noah and he's about to start building a boat in the desert.Praise for Many Waters:"Sandy and Dennys, twins and middle children in the Newbery-winning A Wrinkle in Time, are transported to the time just before the Flood. . .
