The engaging prose and razor-sharp twists and turns will keep readers on the edges of their seats until the very last page.”—Jo Piazza, internationally bestselling author of Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win and We Are Not Like Them“A gripping mystery, but equally as compelling is McKeegan’s exploration of the complicated psyche of female friendships, unresolved trauma, and the desperate lengths girls will go to in order to fit in.” —Elle (Must-Read Books of the Summer)Amanda Brooks is a born-and-bred New Yorker with an envious life that isn’t as picture perfect as it seems.

When her past begins to poison her present, Amanda has no one to turn to except the two women who know her most monstrous self. Reuniting with Catherine and Meg one last time, Amanda is desperate to put the demons of that twisted summer to rest.But when trusting anyone, even one another, starts to feel like a wildly risky proposition, just how far will these three go to keep the truth from emerging—and their lives from unraveling?

V pořadí druhé dobrodružství známé herecké dvojice, tentokráte Afrikou. Cherley Boorman glosuje: Vzpomínám si, jak to začalo. Bylo to jednoho pozdního pátečního večera v říjnu 2004. Byli jsme v naší staré kanceláři na Bulwer Street. Všude byly krabice a kusy papíru, a veškeré vybavení bylo pryč. Několik minut jsme tam jen tak stáli a přemýšleli. Tady začala celá naše cesta "Na motorce kolem světa". Tady jsme to všechno plánovali, kontrolovali mapy; tady jsme poprvé uviděli ty motorky. Bylo to za námi. Objeli jsme svět. Byla to obrovská cesta. Impozantní dobrodružství. Ale teď už bylo po všem. Na zdech pořád ještě visely mapy a my zase stáli před nimi. Ewan na mě mrknul. "Co říkáš, Charley?" "Nevím." "Jižní Afrika, nebo možná Indie?" Podíval jsem se na něj: "Co takhle projet Afriku?" Cestovatelská touha dvou dobrodruhů, Ewana McGregora a Chaleyho Boormana, po jejich senzační cestě kolem světa v roce 2004 neutuchla. Poté, co v Africe navštívili UNICEF, bylo jim jasné, že se musí vrátit a blíže se s tímto pozoruhodným světadílem seznámit. A tak se vydali na 24 000 kilometrů dlouhou dobrodružnou výpravu, při které se setkali s tím nejobtížnějším terénem a těmi nejpřátelštějšími lidmi na světě. Při jízdě velkolepou krajinou, často v extrémních teplotách, čelili Ewan a Charley nejtěžším zkouškám svého života. Se svým příznačným humorem popisují dramata, nebezpečí a ryzí potěšení z další společné jízdy, tentokrát skrze kontinent plný divů a zázraků. Osmnáct zemí. Dvacet čtyři tisíc kilometrů. Dva motorkáři. Jedno úžasné dobrodružství…

Na motorce kolem světa Většině motorářů nestačí jenom jezdit po městě. Za chvíli je ovládne nutkání jezdit pořád rychleji a na vzdálenější místa a podlehnou lákadlu otevřené cesty. Ježdění na motorkách není jenom o tom, že tam prostě napálíš nejvyšší rychlost. Je to taky o tom, že si dáváš načas, pomalu polykáš kilometry, křižuješ silnice, necháváš se unést kamkoliv tě cesta zavede, neděláš si starosti s tím, kam máš dojet a užíváš si jízdu. Tento příběh jistě znáte z televizního pořadu, který byl u nás vysílaný pod názvem Na mašině kolem světa. Kniha přináší hlubší a otevřenější pohled na často strastiplnou cestu na dvou kolech , byť s podpůrným týmem v zádech.

''A highly readable and spiritually uplifting book about a dream come true'' Wanderlust ''Touching and memorable ... one for armchair travellers and bike freaks'' Daily MailFrom London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and given bulls'' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride more than twenty thousand miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds, realising their dream.

Developing an original theoretical approach to understanding the roots of regional conflict and cooperation, International Relations in the Middle East explores domestic and international foreign policy dynamics for an accessible insight into how and why Middle Eastern regional order has changed over time. Highlighting interactions between foreign policy trajectories in a range of states including Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey, Ewan Stein identifies two main drivers of foreign policy and alignments: competitive support-seeking and ideological externalisation. Clearly linking political, ideological and foreign policy dynamics, Stein demonstrates how the sources of regional antagonisms and solidarities are to be found not in the geopolitical chessboard, but in the hegemonic strategies of the region''s pivotal powers. Making the case for historical sociology - in particular the work of Antonio Gramsci and Louis Althusser - as the most powerful lens through which to understand regional politics in the Middle East, with wider implications for the study of regional order elsewhere.

Wrong Norma is Anne Carson''s first book of original material in eight years''Effortlessly readable and – a word critics don’t often use about her – fun'' DAILY TELEGRAPH''I''m a big fan... She pinpoints the collision of oracle and anachronism'' TEJU COLEAs with her most recent publications, Wrong Norma is a facsimile edition of the original hand-designed book, drawn and annotated by the author. Several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like the New Yorker and the Paris Review.Anne Carson is probably our most celebrated living poet, winner of countless awards and routinely tipped for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Famously reticent, asking that her books be published without cover copy, she has agreed to say this:Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantanamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget''s Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night, Sokrates, writing sonnets, forensics, encounters with lovers, the word "idea", the feet of Jesus, and Russian thugs. The pieces are not linked. That''s why I''ve called them "wrong".

Are you tired of living life scared or following the status quo? Heather Thompson Day challenges readers to remember what it felt like to believe in themselves before the world told them who they should be and what they should do.What If I’m Wrong? explores the chasm between our dreams we once had and the reality in which we are now living. Writing from personal experience, Heather Thompson Day dives deep into what makes us feel overwhelmed or defeated by the hopes we once had, the disappointments we should have overcome, the goals we expected to accomplish, and the person we wanted to be. Somehow and somewhere along the way, we stopped following our heart and started listening to the lies in our head: It’s time you gave up on that childish dream. What makes you think you could accomplish that? Others see who you really are, so stop trying to be someone else. So we decided to play it safe and just accept our lot in life. And instead of feeling alive every day, we walk through our days numb and uninspired. But this book will help readers see how: Pursuing a painless passion means you have an insignificant dreamLiving a “normal” life is scarier than taking risks and embracing the unknownBeing vulnerable and admitting mistakes can lead to success quickerEmbracing failure might be the best thing that ever happens to youStaying motivated and confident when things go wrong gets easier with practiceThe person God made you to be is waiting to live life to the fullest Have you ever considered that the hardest things in life might be our greatest areas of passion, through which we find fulfillment in everything we do, from work to play to relationships to our faith? Fears and failures come upon us like relentless waves, pulling us to deeper water. Panicked, we believe we are going to drown. But what if we’re wrong? Maybe God is teaching us how to swim stronger, to pursue greater adventures, to learn how to really live!

Everywhere we look, we see brokenness: wars, cruelty, and heartache and much more. We feel it in the world around us and in our own lives. How did it get to be this way?During his tenure as founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller explained on a weekly basis how the Bible provides the most comprehensive and sophisticated response to the fundamental questions of life. In What Is Wrong with the World?, based on a series of teachings given at Redeemer, Keller answers the title''s pressing question by revealing that the only thing that can account for the world''s pain and chaos is what the Bible calls sin. This clear-eyed and ultimately hopeful book reveals how sin is not simply a ''bad'' thing we do, but something much more subtle and complex, affecting our relationships, our thinking, and every aspect of our existence. And only when we recognize sin for what it is can we find the profound, life-transforming answer our souls long for. What Is Wrong with the World? is for anyone who:Feels overwhelmed at the state of the worldBattles with repeated mistakes and poor choicesDesires more than pat answers to difficult questionsWonders how to know joy while still acknowledging painWants to understand how God''s love gives hope even in the hardest of places.Today''s battles across the globe and in our own hearts are not the end of the story. As Keller writes, ''If we stand any chance of answering the question of what is wrong with the world . . . we must begin with understanding the complexity and multifaceted nature of sin, and end with understanding the unfailing love of a God who chooses to save us from it. This book will show you how.''

Ruchir Sharma’s explanation is unlike any you have heard before. Progressives are partly right when they mock modern capitalism as “socialism for the rich,” but what really happened in recent decades is that government in developed nations expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending and regulation to the sheer scale of its rescues each time the economy wobbled. The result, Sharma says, is “socialized risk,” expensive government guarantees, for everyone—welfare for the poor, entitlements for the middle class, and bailouts for the rich.Voters say they are disillusioned with capitalism, but a system so distorted by government interventions is a dysfunctional version of free market ideals. As a result, productivity and economic growth have slowed sharply, shrinking the pie for everyone and stoking popular anger. Since these flaws developed as the government expanded, building an even bigger state will only double down on what’s gone wrong. The answer Sharma offers is a series of seven fixes to restore the balance between state support and free markets and lay the path to a more prosperous and happier future.

'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield' The Mirror 'In the weeks that followed, Jane did her best not to think about anything very much. Usually, it worked. But every so often she would freeze, and tremble at the terrifying realisation that she wanted to leave her husband.'While many regard her marriage with admiration and a touch of envy, Jane Lytton quietly reaches the shocking conclusion that her relationship with Michael, a successful banker with little time for her – or the nitty-gritty of family life – is failing. Even daring to contemplate leaving Michael is daunting. With no obvious outward signs of any marital problems, family and friends greet news of the predicament with a mixture of anger and uncomprehending sympathy. Forced to accept that she is alone, Jane takes drastic steps that veer her life off course. When at last her vision clears to reveal the best chance of happiness, it looks as if she may have left it too late. Being with the wrong man does not make finding the ‘right’ one any easier. Amanda Brookfield’s loving but unflinching dissection of marriage and relationships is timeless and irresistible. The Wrong Man demonstrates brilliantly why she got her well-deserved reputation for writing about women’s lives with humour and honesty.

Alienated from her family except for her beloved brother, Mina has avoided being so close to her homeland for decades. But with a week off work and apart from her wife of thirty years, Mina hopes to accomplish something meaningful, among the abundance of Western volunteers who pose for selfies with beached dinghies and the camp''s children. Soon, a boat crosses bringing Sumaiya, a fiercely resolute Syrian matriarch with terminal liver cancer. Determined to protect her children and husband at all costs, Sumaiya refuses to alert her family to her diagnosis. Bonded together by Sumaiya''s secret, a deep connection sparks between the two women, and as Mina prepares a course of treatment with the limited resources on hand, she confronts the circumstances of the migrants'' displacement, as well as her own constraints in helping them.Not since the inimitable Aaliya of An Unnecessary Woman has Rabih Alameddine conjured such a winsome heroine to lead us to one of the most wrenching conflicts of our time.

A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2022 ★Everyone knows how "Little Red Riding Hood" goes. But Grandpa keeps getting the story all wrong, with hilarious results! "Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Little Yellow Riding Hood—" "Not yellow! It's Red Riding Hood!"

Try as she might to get him back on track, Grandpa keeps on adding things to the mix, both outlandish and mundane! The end result is an unpredictable tale that comes alive as it's being told, born out of imaginative play and familial affection. This spirited picture book will surprise and delight from start to finish, while reminding readers that storytelling is not only a creative act of improvisation and interaction, but also a powerful pathway for connection and love. Telling Stories Wrong was written by Gianni Rodari, widely regarded as the father of modern Italian children's literature. It exemplifies his great respect for the intelligence of children and the kind of work he did as an educator, developing numerous games and exercises for children to engage and think beyond the status quo, imagining what happens after the end of a familiar story, or what possibilities open up when a new ingredient is introduced. This book is illustrated with great affection by the illustrious artist Beatrice Alemagna (Child of Glass), who counts Gianni Rodari as one of her "spiritual fathers."
