As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn.“Enthralling debut. . . Mystery, pulse-pounding suspense and a budding romance. More, please!”—Mary Jane Clark, New York Times Bestselling AuthorNovember 1866: The grisly murder site in London’s East End is thronged with onlookers. None of them expect the calmly efficient young woman among them to be a medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse. Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the investigation, at first makes no effort to disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is accustomed to such condescension . . .To study medicine, Julia had to leave Britain, where universities still bar their doors to women, and travel to America. She returned home to work in her grandfather’s practice—amid London’s devastating cholera epidemic. Yet in four years she’s seen nothing quite like this—a local clergyman’s body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that she—and Tennant—both suspect is personal.Days later, another body is found with links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr. Lewis again. The murderer begins sending the police taunting letters and tantalizing clues that lead from London’s music halls to its grim workhouses and sewers. But as Lewis and Tennant struggle to understand the killer’s dark machinations, there is a new urgency. For the doctor’s role appears to have shifted from expert to target. And this killer is no impulsive monster, but a calculating opponent, determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion . . .

The prequel to Frank McDonough’s bestselling Hitler Years series, covering the dramatic era of German history that culminated in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in 1933. Established in the wake of German defeat in the First World War, the Weimar Republic held out the hope that democracy, stability and prosperity would take root in Germany. From the start, however, it was beset by political and economic upheaval and spasms of violence between left and right.Year by year, from 1918 to 1933, Frank McDonough describes the major events in both domestic and foreign policy and the personalities who shaped them, together with developments in Weimar’s flourishing cultural sphere. McDonough places particular focus on the parliamentary history of Weimar, arguing that it was the failure of parliamentary democracy to bring stability that allowed the power of the elected Reichstag to diminish, leading to Hitler’s accession to power. The Weimar Years is the tragic story of a rise and fall, as well as a warning of how, under poor leadership, economic pressure and unrelenting political instability, a democracy can drift towards a form of authoritarian rule that eventually destroys it.

"With no signs of slowing down, Kiki designs for real women and is as relevant today as she ever was." — Country Life“The eternal challenge for a designer is to make pieces which are relevant and modern as well as timeless … The fact that Kiki McDonough has achieved this in countless collections over forty years is nothing short of a triumph” - Carol Woolton, jewellery historian and British Vogue Jewellery Editor On the eve of her jewellery business’s 40th anniversary, Kiki McDonough opens the vault to share the remarkable journey behind one of Britain’s most beloved jewellery designers. What began in 1985 with a single concession in a friend’s store has since blossomed into a globally celebrated brand, known for its vibrant use of coloured gemstones, timeless elegance, and deep connection with the women who wear it. With over 200 stunning photographs, this beautifully curated book is both a visual feast and an inspiring portrait of a female-founded and female-led company that changed the face of modern jewellery. From the delicate shimmer of amethysts to the radiant sparkle of citrines and peridots, Kiki’s signature pieces have graced the ears and necks of style icons across generations – including HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and Princess Diana. Through rich imagery and candid storytelling, Kiki reflects on four decades of creativity, determination, and evolution. She takes us behind the scenes of her design process, shares memories from the early, chaotic days of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and explores how her work continues to resonate with modern women around the world. Her mission has always been simple yet revolutionary: jewellery should be bought by women, for women, pieces that speak to their style, their confidence, their joy. More than a retrospective, it’s a celebration of a legacy still in the making – a story as colourful and joyful as Kiki’s exquisite jewellery.

At the beginning of 1940 Germany was at the pinnacle of its power. By May 1945 Hitler was dead and Germany had suffered a disastrous defeat.Hitler had failed to achieve his aim of making Germany a super power and had left her people to cope with the endless shame of the Holocaust. In The Hitler Years: Disaster 1940-1945, Professor Frank McDonough charts the dramatic change of fortune for the Third Reich, and challenges long-held accounts of the Holocaust and Germany's ultimate defeat. Despite Hitler's grand ambitions and the successful early stages of the Third Reich's advances into Europe, Frank McDonough argues that Germany was only ever a middle-ranking power and never truly stood a chance against the combined forces of the Allies.

Recycling is good, isn’t it? In this visionary book, chemist Michael Braungart and architect William McDonough challenge this status quo and put forward a manifesto for an intriguing and radically different philosophy of environmentalism."Reduce, reuse, recycle”. This is the standard “cradle to grave” manufacturing model dating back to the Industrial Revolution that we still follow today. In this thought-provoking read, the authors propose that instead of minimising waste, we should be striving to create value. This is the essence of Cradle to Cradle: waste need not to exist at all. By providing a framework of redesign of everything from carpets to corporate campuses, McDonough and Braungart make a revolutionary yet viable case for change and for remaking the way we make things.

Name as a 2016 Book of the Year by the SpectatorA Daily Telegraph ''Book of the Week'' (August 2015)Longlisted for 2016 PEN Hessell-Tiltman PrizeRanked in 100 Best Books of 2015 in the Daily TelegraphProfessor Frank McDonough is one of the leading scholars and most popular writers on the history of Nazi Germany. Frank McDonough''s work has been described as, ''modern history writing at its very best...Ground-breaking, fascinating, occasionally deeply revisionist'' by renowned historian Andrew Roberts. Drawing on a detailed examination of previously unpublished Gestapo case files this book relates the fascinating, vivid and disturbing accounts of a cross-section of ordinary and extraordinary people who opposed the Nazi regime. It also tells the equally disturbing stories of their friends, neighbours, colleagues and even relatives who were often drawn into the Gestapo''s web of intrigue. The book reveals, too, the cold-blooded and efficient methods of the Gestapo officers. This book will also show that the Gestapo lacked the manpower and resources to spy on everyone as it was reliant on tip offs from the general public. Yet this did not mean the Gestapo was a weak or inefficient instrument of Nazi terror. On the contrary, it ruthlessly and efficiently targeted its officers against clearly defined political and racial ''enemies of the people''. The Gestapo will provide a chilling new doorway into the everyday life of the Third Reich and give powerful testimony from the victims of Nazi terror and poignant life stories of those who opposed Hitler''s regime while challenging popular myths about the Gestapo.

Impozantní dvoudílná práce předního odborníka na dějiny třetí říše, renomovaného britského historika Franka McDonougha, čtivě a fundovaně vypráví příběh nacistického Německa prostřednictvím postavy jeho stvořitele i hrobníka Adolfa Hitlera. McDonoughovo strhující líčení nabízí děsivé paralely s děním posledních let v Evropě. Kniha je opatřena pečlivým poznámkovým aparátem a vybavena velkorysým a často unikátním fotografickým doprovodem. První díl se věnuje letům 1933-1939. Začíná zvolením Hitlera říšským kancléřem a popisuje, jak se mu během několika měsíců podařilo zavést v Německu diktaturu, uvěznit či rovnou zabít jeho levicové oponenty, vyřadit Židy z veřejného života a zbytek populace získat na svou stranu nebo zastrašit šíleným terorem. Připomíná také, jak se Hitlerovi díky masivním veřejným zakázkám či zrušením zahraničních dluhů a investicemi do zbrojního průmyslu podařilo dosáhnout plné zaměstnanosti a oživení ekonomiky. Po letech hospodářské krize se Německo vynořilo jako nová, brutální síla světové scény. Sledujeme, jak se bezohlednému vůdci podařilo nadchnout německý národ pro myšlenku obnovené Říše. Ve stínu ohromujícího domácího triumfu se však Adolf Hitler systematicky připravoval na realizaci své největší ambice: rozšíření německého "životního prostoru", jehož motorem mělo být surové ovládnutí východní Evropy a fanatický rasismus. Prostředkem a stvrzením velikosti tohoto snu se měla stát - válka. Druhý díl zachycuje období let 1940-1945. Na jeho začátku stálo nacistické Německo a jeho vůdce na vrcholu své síly a moci, na ­jeho konci byl Hitler po smrti a celé Německo v troskách, navíc si na bedrech neslo hanbu holokaustu a válečných zločinů, které budou jeho obyvatele tížit po desítky let. Profesor McDonough dokazuje, že navzdory Hitlerovým velkolepým plánům a počátečním válečným úspěchům se Německo nikdy nestalo opravdovou supervelmocí a nemělo šanci uspět proti jednotně sešikovaným Spojencům. Druhý díl sleduje Hitlerova vojenská vítězství i nelidské vraždění na dobytých územích stejně jako následný obrat na bitevním poli a cestu k definitivní porážce německého nacionálního socialismu.

Neil Young is one of rock and roll''s most important, influential and enigmatic figures, an intensely reticent artist who has granted no writer access to his inner sanctum - until now. Shakey is the whole story of Young''s incredible life and career: from his childhood in Canada to the founding of folk-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield; the bleary conglomeration of Crazy Horse and the monstrous success of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; to the depths of the Tonight''s the Night depravity and the Geffen years; and Young''s unprecedented nineties ''comeback''. Shakey (the title refers to one of Young''s many aliases) is also the compelling human story of a lonely kid for whom music was the only outlet, a driven yet tortured figure who controlled his epilepsy via ''mind over matter'', an oddly passionate model train mogul who, inspired by his own son''s struggle with cerebral palsy, became a major activist in the quest to help those with the condition. This long-awaited, unprecedented story of a rock ''n'' roll legend is uniquely told through the interwoven voices of McDonough - biographer, critic, historian, obsessive fan - and the ever-cantankerous (but slyly funny) Young himself.

The penultimate title in the Hitler''s Germany series, the book marks the end of the Second World War, and the end of the Nazi regime, offering the reader a sweeping narrative tackling the major characters, significant events of this horrific period of Nazi doctrine formed in their early years of the 1920s, that would evolve into full-blown genocide of a race of people by the end of World War Two.The Hitler Years: Holocaust 1933–1945 describes in detail the development of early persecution formulated by Adolf Hitler from as far back as the early 1920s, placing in context what was to come once the Nazi Party gained power in 1933; the Nuremberg Laws to constrain the German-Jewish population. It covers the country’s slow slide into a pre-war policy of intimidation that would culminate in the murderous attacks on ‘Kristallnacht’ (the ‘Night of Broken Glass’). As Europe marched into another global conflict in 1939, tens of thousands of German Jews had fled the country only to be swept up as Hitler’s armies conquered all Western Europe. With the invasion of the Soviet Union, the secret meeting in early 1942 (the Wannsee Conference) would utilise the war in the east to plan in intricate detail the annihilation of the Jewish population on the continent – known to all now as the ‘Final Solution’.The fully illustrated book draws together and engages with the latest scholarly research, makes extensive use of primary research, presenting a vivid and shocking narrative. A tragic and deadly period in German and European history is brought to life by one of the country’s premier scholars.
