The first thing I remember being said of me with any consistency was that I was intelligent - and I recognized even then that it was a comment leveled at me with as much disapproval as admiration. Still, I never tried to hide or suppress my mind as some girls do, and thank god, because that would have been the beginning of the end. From childhood, Katherine knows she is different, and that her parents are not who they seem to be. But in becoming a mathematician, she faces the most human of problems - who is she? What is the cost of love, and what is the cost of ambition? On her quest to conquer the Riemann Hypothesis, the greatest unsolved mathematical problem of her time, she turns to a theorem with a mysterious history that holds both the lock and key to her identity, and to secrets long buried during World War II. Forced to confront some of the biggest events of the twentieth century and rethink everything she knows of herself, Katherine strives to take her place in the world of higher mathematics, reclaiming the voices of the women who came before her whose love of the language of numbers connects them across generations. The Tenth Muse is a brilliant, involving novel asking questions about who gets to tell the story of intellectual endeavour, and those who lost everything during World War II.

'The superb, funny, fascinating story of Lenin's trans-European rail journey and how it shook the world' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Evening Standard, Books of the Year'Splendid ... a jewel among histories, taking a single episode from the penultimate year of the Great War, illuminating a continent, a revolution and a series of psychologies in a moment of cataclysm and doing it with wit, judgment and an eye for telling detail' David Aaronovitch, The TimesBy 1917 the European war seemed to be endless. Both sides in the fighting looked to new weapons, tactics and ideas to break a stalemate that was itself destroying Europe. In the German government a small group of men had a brilliant idea: why not sow further confusion in an increasingly chaotic Russia by arranging for Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the most notorious of revolutionary extremists, currently safely bottled up in neutral Switzerland, to go home?Catherine Merridale's Lenin on the Train recreates Lenin's extraordinary journey from harmless exile in Zurich, across a Germany falling to pieces from the war's deprivations, and northwards to the edge of Lapland to his eventual ecstatic reception by the revolutionary crowds at Petrograd's Finland Station.With great skill and insight Merridale weaves the story of the train and its uniquely strange group of passengers with a gripping account of the now half-forgotten liberal Russian revolution and shows how these events intersected. She brilliantly uses a huge range of contemporary eyewitnesses, observing Lenin as he travelled back to a country he had not seen for many years. Many thought he was a mere 'useful idiot', others thought he would rapidly be imprisoned or killed, others that Lenin had in practice few followers and even less influence. They would all prove to be quite wrong.

This brilliant book introduces the dinosaurs that once roamed our planet. Using bitesize text and beautifully bright illustrations, this is the perfect book for dinosaur lovers everywhere. The world was once full of magnificent beasts, big and small, who stomped across the land, soared through the skies and swam through waters deep and murky. Dinosaurs witnessed the shaping of our mountains, continents, seas and deserts and eventually an asteroid that would wipe out half of all life on Earth. This is the exciting and dramatic story of dinosaurs and how they lived on our planet. Journey back in time to the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and come face-to-face with prehistory’s most spectacular dinosaurs. Read about when they lived, where they lived, what they ate and how you can see clues of these prehistoric creatures in our modern world. With fact-packed text by Catherine Barr and Steve Williams and vibrant illustrations by Amy Husband, readers will walk across continents with a titanosaurus, stalk prey with a T-rex and care for a baby velociraptor. This is an engaging first look at the incredible world of dinosaurs, written especially for young children.

Audiokniha: Portrét nejdéle vládnoucí britské panovnice koncipovaný jako mozaika příběhů ze života královské rodiny. Nahlédneme do zákulisí Buckinghamského paláce a premiérova sídla v Downing Street č. 10. Příběhy ze života královské rodiny Britský historik a autor četných biografií Robert Lacey ve své knize Koruna (The Crown) líčí osudy britské královské dynastie v letech 1947 až 1955. Bylo to období, kdy se Velká Británie těžce vzpamatovávala z druhé světové války a kdy se rozhodovalo o budoucí podobě a vlastně i existenci samotné monarchie. Autor ve svém díle oživuje mnoho historických postav a událostí, seznamuje čtenáře s dějinnými souvislostmi a zároveň popisuje skutečný život v Buckinghamském paláci či sídle tehdejšího ministerského předsedy Winstona Churchilla na Downing Street č. 10. Největší pozornost je samozřejmě věnována královně Alžbětě II., která usedla na trůn v pouhých šestadvaceti letech, po předčasné smrti svého otce, krále Jiřího VI., a musela se teprve učit, jak se stát skutečnou panovnicí a zajistit stabilitu země. Dozvíme se, jak vypadal život budoucí královny v jejím raném dětství a mládí, kdy žila téměř obyčejným životem společně se svými rodiči a mladší sestrou. Autor detailně popisuje způsob výchovy a vzdělávání malé princezny, období jejího dospívání i vztah s budoucím manželem Philipem Mountbattenem. Text copyright © Robert Lacey 2017, Copyright © Left Bank Pictures (Television) Limited, 2017 Originally published in the English language in the UK by Blink Publishing, an imprit of Bonnier Books UK Limited, London.

‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.

Bestseller New York Times od historického konzultanta oceňovaného seriálu The Crown z Netflixu „Královská kniha roku. Pokud už jste četli příběh viděný očima královské rodiny, teď si přečtete, jak to bylo doopravdy“ ROBERT LACEY (1944) je známým britským historikem a životopiscem. V posledních letech přispěl Lacey coby historický konzultant ke vzniku oceňovaného seriálu služby Netflix The Crown / Koruna. Napsal též Oficiálního průvodce seriálem Koruna, svazky 1-2. Lacey více než čtyřicet let píše o královně Alžbětě II. a jejím výjimečném životě, její dlouhé vládě i o celé královské rodině. Jeho první biografie královny Majesty (Veličenstvo) je průlomovou prací o britské monarchii. O tomto tématu Lacey přednáší po celém světě a pravidelně se k němu vyjadřuje v televizi. Synové prince Charlese a princezny Diany se stali první generací britské královské rodiny, kterou od narození na každém krůčku sledovala média. Nejen poddaní Alžběty II., ale i čtenáři a diváci po celém světě tak mají pocit, že o princích Williamovi a Harrym vědí úplně všechno… Odborník na královskou rodinu a autor mnoha úspěšných knižních titulů Robert Lacey svou zasvěcenou sondou do rozkolu mezi oběma bratry dokáže všechny vyvést z omylu. Za důvody roztržky mezi sourozenci, kteří si bývali tak blízcí, se vrací do doby jejich dětství a dospívání. Rozebírá důsledky toho, jak na chlapce působilo vědomí, že jeden z nich bude králem, kdežto druhý jen věčným „náhradníkem“. Laceyho důkladný pohled na komplikované vztahy v královské rodině překlenuje období od počátku osmdesátých let až po současnost, včetně kontroverzního interview Harryho a Meghan s moderátorkou Oprah Winfreyovou nebo pohřbu prince Philipa.
