THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAn awe-inspiring portrait of the mysterious world beneath the waves, and the men and women who seek to uncover its secrets. ______________________________________________'Masterful and mesmerizing . .. an irresistible mix of splendid scholarship, heart-stopping adventure writing, and vivid, visceral prose.' Sy Montgomery, author of Soul of an Octopus 'Fantastical and forbidding' Washington Post 'A fascinating history' Time'Casey’s descriptions of the shimmeringly strange life teeming below the waves capture her wonder and ravishment in prose that morphs into poetry . .. Entralling' Boston GlobeFor all of human history, the deep ocean has been a source of fear and fascination, an unknowable realm that evokes a singular, compelling question: what’s down there? But now cutting-edge technologies are allowing scientists and explorers to discover this strange and exotic underworld: a place of soaring mountains, smouldering volcanoes and valleys 7,000 feet deeper than Everest is high. A realm long thought to be devoid of life is, in fact, a vibrant new world, home to pink gelatinous predators and shimmering creatures a hundred feet long, creatures that breathe iron and communicate through their skin, ancient animals with glass skeletons and sharks that live for half a millennium.In The Underworld, Susan Casey traverses the globe, joining scientists and explorers on dives to the deepest places on the planet. She interviews the marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers as they uncover this vast unseen realm. And she discovers the mind-blowing complexity and ecological importance of the abyssal ocean and the quadrillions of creatures who live in its depths.

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST SUMMER TRAVEL BOOK OF 2024**Good Housekeeping recommended ''20 uplifting memoirs by remarkable women'', June 2024****Wanderlust magazine best travel books of 2024**______Discover the incredible story of one woman''s solo journey, from Land''s End to the shores of Greece, exploring the unexpected joy of solitude, self-discovery and resilience''It’s hard to read The Half Bird without wondering whether you could do it too. It may be better to start by pondering Smillie’s wider message – that to work out what will truly make you happy, you first need to stop and smell the air around you'' Guardian__________''We have no idea how much resilience there is inside us until we have to draw on it. We learn that we grow through adversity only as we go through it. That we crave happiness like plants leaning toward the light''When Susan quit her job in London and set sail off the south coast of England on her beloved sailboat, Isean, she was unaware this spontaneous departure would lead to a three-year journey spanning several countries across the continent.With only the very basics on board, resourcefulness becomes an unexpected source of joy and contentment. The highs and lows of living in such an extreme way awakens a newfound appreciation for the beauty of her surroundings, for being safe - for just being alive.For all the physical and navigational challenges of her journey, the other side of her story reveals a more important change - an inner journey - that took place along the way.This wasn''t merely a challenge, a mid-life adventure or gap-year career break; it was much gentler than that, but much greater too.She was seeking nothing less than an entirely different life, having left the land far behind to call the wild, unbiddable sea home.__________Praise for The Half Bird''I didn''t know a love song between a woman and her boat could transport, and transfix me. The Half Bird made my heart whole'' Rhik Samadder, author of I Never Said I Loved You''A beautiful, wise and open-hearted odyssey through life, loves and the sea'' Patrick Barkham, author of The Butterfly Isles''Told with all the invigorating energy of a crisp wind under a cloudless sky'' Charlotte Higgins, Chief culture writer, Guardian

Drawing is at the heart of human creativity. The most democratic form of art-making, it requires nothing more than a plain surface and a stub of pencil, a piece of chalk or an inky brush. Our prehistoric ancestors drew with natural pigments on the walls of caves, and every subsequent culture has practised drawing—whether on papyrus, parchment, or paper. Artists throughout history have used drawing as part of the creative process. While painting and sculpture have been shaped heavily by money and influence, drawing has always offered extraordinary creative latitude. Here we see the artist at his or her most unguarded. Susan Owens offers a glimpse over artists’ shoulders—from Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Hokusai to Van Gogh, Käthe Kollwitz, and Yayoi Kusama—as they work, think, and innovate, as they scrutinise the world around them or escape into imagination. The Story of Drawing loops around the established history of art, sometimes staying close, at other times diving into exhilarating and altogether less familiar territory.

''A thrilling, defiant novel'' FATIMA BHUTTO''A masterpiece'' MARC LAMONT HILL''Wonderful ... Shines a ray of hope into some very dark places'' MICHAEL PALIN''A fearless work of imagination'' AHDAF SOUEIFWinner of the Palestine Book AwardNahr has been confined to the Cube: nine square metres of glossy grey cinderblock, devoid of time, its patterns of light and dark nothing to do with day and night. Journalists visit her, but get nowhere; because Nahr is not going to share her story with them. The world outside calls Nahr a terrorist, and a whore; some might call her a revolutionary, or a hero. But the truth is, Nahr has always been many things, and had many names. She was a girl who learned, early and painfully, that when you are a second class citizen love is a kind of desperation; she learned, above all else, to survive. She was a girl who went to Palestine in the wrong shoes, and without looking for it found what she had always lacked in the basement of a battered beauty parlour: purpose, politics, friends. She found a dark-eyed man called Bilal, who taught her to resist; who tried to save her when it was already too late. Nahr sits in the Cube, and tells her story to Bilal. Bilal, who isn’t there; Bilal, who may not even be alive, but who is her only reason to get out.

What makes a winner? Why do some succeed both in life and in business, and others fail? The ‘winner effect’ is a term used in biology to describe how an animal that has won a few fights against weak opponents is much more likely to win later bouts against stronger contenders. As Ian Robertson reveals, it applies to humans, too. Success changes the chemistry of the brain, making you more focused, smarter, more confident and more aggressive. And the more you win, the more you will go on to win. But the downside is that winning can become physically addictive.By understanding what the mental and physical changes are that take place in the brain of a ‘winner’, how they happen, and why they affect some people more than others, Robertson explains what makes a winner or a loser – and how we can use the answers to these questions to understand better the behaviour of our business colleagues, employees, family and friends.

The first book in the delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series, a spinoff of BookTok sensations Off Campus and Briar U, by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine–a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude…and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLEROn the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament, this book captures an important moment in contemporary history: how a grassroots women''s movement, harking back to the suffragettes and second wave feminists of the 1970s and 1980s, took on the political establishment - and changed the course of history.Through a collection of over thirty essays and photographs, some of the women involved tell the story of the five-year campaign to protect women''s sex-based rights. Author J.K. Rowling explains why she used her global reach to stand up for women. Leading SNP MP Joanna Cherry writes of how she risked her political career for her beliefs. Survivors of male violence who MSPs refused to meet are given the voice they were denied at Holyrood. Ash Regan MSP recounts what it was like to become the first government minister to resign on a question of principle since the SNP came to power in 2007. Former prison governor Rhona Hotchkiss charts how changes in prison policy in Scotland led to the controversy over Isla Bryson.It is the story of women who risked their job, reputation, even the bonds of family and friendship, to make their voices heard, and ended up - unexpectedly - contributing to the downfall of Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland''s first woman first minister.Above all, it is the story of the women who wouldn''t wheesht.

Kniha - autor Judea Pearl; Dana Mackenzie, 432 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series, astronomy and astrology were once sister sciences: the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Giza was built to align with constellations, Persian scholars oversaw some of the first observatories, and even Galileo cast horoscopes for the Medicis. But with the Enlightenment and the birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake. Later movements like the Theosophists and the New Agers, would thrust the practice into the mainstream.Edited by Jessica Hundley, this vibrant visual history of Western astrology is the first ever compendium of its kind, exploring the symbolic meaning behind more than 400 images, from Egyptian temples and illuminated manuscripts to contemporary art from across the globe.

Quiet by Susan Cain will change how you think about introverts foreverOur lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert.The introvert/extrovert divide is the most fundamental dimension of personality. And at least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers.Yet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths.

Introverti jsou lidé, kteří raději poslouchají než mluví, raději čtou než chodí na večírky. Rádi tvoří, ale nenávidí self-promotion, a raději pracují sami než brainstormují v týmu. Přestože jsou nálepkováni jako ti tiší, ve skutečnosti jim vděčíme za řadu přínosů naší kultuře: od Van Goghových slunečnic po vynález osobního počítače. Podle Susan Cainové je introvertů mezi námi až třetina. Prokazuje, že základní hodnota dnešní podnikatelské kultury, tedy týmová spolupráce, může být překážkou inovace, když přehlíží sílu tichých myslitelů. Susan Cainová poskytuje introvertům nedocenitelné rady, například: kdy a jak má smysl se ve svém projevu a působení na ostatní inspirovat extraverzí, proč introverti ve vedoucích rolích bývají úspěšní, v čem tkví jejich síla, jak se lépe vypořádat s rozdíly mezi introverty a extroverty na pracovišti, jak řešit rodinné neshody mezi partnery způsobené „nesouladem povah“, jak podpořit introvertní děti a co by pro ně naopak mohlo být nebezpečné.

Povznáší vás smutná hudba? Nacházíte útěchu v deštivém dni nebo se dojímáte nad starými fotkami? Pak ani vám nejspíš není blízký svět, ve kterém se cení zdánlivě nenucená dokonalost a skrývání jakýchkoli známek neúspěchu, selhání či melancholie.Právě držíte v ruce důkaz, že urputný optimismus není pro společnost ta správná cesta. Susan Cain na výzkumech i dojemných příbězích ukazuje, že právě pocit sladkobolu v našich srdcích je skrytým zdrojem úžasných činů, mistrovských děl a milostných vzplanutí. Intimně vypráví o svém vztahu s matkou a nabízí poučení, že pokud nepřijmeme svůj vlastní zármutek, můžeme jej způsobit druhým.Mimo jiné se dozvíte* Jak se vyrovnat se smrtí, ztrátou či nešťastnou láskou.* Že projevit slabost vám neuškodí ani ve vedoucí pozici – naopak to může pomoci navázat s podřízenými plnohodnotnější vztahy.* Jak překonat traumata, která se v rodinách přenáší po generace.* Proč lidé na konci života cítí více smysl, splynutí a lásku než strach, smutek či úzkost.* Jakým způsobem lze zármutek a melancholii přeměnit v kreativní dar.
Pokud si uvědomíme, že všichni lidé zažili (nebo zažijí) pocit ztráty a utrpení, budeme k sobě přistupovat s větší vlídností a pochopením.

Edward vidí v starodávnej váze kľúč k svojej akademickej budúcnosti, Pandora ju zas vníma ako šancu na obnovenie bývalej slávy starožitníctva a možnosť osamostatniť sa. Lenže Edwardove zistenia o váze náhle spochybňujú všetko, čo Pandora vie o vlastnom živote, rodine i svete.

Prečo nás baví smutný film, počúvame smutnú hudbu a čítame srdcervúce príbehy? Ak vás upokojuje daždivý deň, čerpáte inšpiráciu zo samoty a intenzívne reagujete na krásu v umení či v prírode, nie ste sami. Sladkobôľny pocit mali v sebe filozofovia, básnici, vedci, skladatelia či maliari a asi ho máte aj vy. Susan Cain sa touto knihou snaží ukončiť tyraniu pozitivity, a tvrdí, že je v poriadku a prospešné zažívať smutné emócie. Bez smútku tlmíme plnosť našej radosti, melancholický a nostalgický pohľad na život pomáha našej kreativite a spája nás s inými ľuďmi. Uvedomili si to aj v Pixare, a tak Smútok obsadili do hlavnej úlohy v úspešnom animovanom filme V hlave. Autorka v knihe prináša prekvapivé lekcie z prežívania smutných emócií, ktoré nás učia o kreativite, súcite, spiritualite a smrteľnosti.
