Among the Burning Flowers - Samantha Shannonová
The story is told from the perspective of Marosa Vetalda, Crown Princess of Yscalin. Living in the capital city of Cárscaro, Marosa is still in mourning her beloved mother, Queen Sahar, who died under mysterious circumstances. Her cold and highhanded father, King Sigoso, allows her little freedom. She hopes her marriage to Prince Aubrecht of Mentendon will give her more power to determine her own fate. She often writes to Queen Sabran, who she remembers fondly from the last time she was allowed to visit Inys.Draconic creatures have been slowly waking in the mountains around Cárscaro, which Sigoso has concealed from his people. One night, an earthquake racks the city, and the wyrm Fýredel – leader of the Draconic Army – awakens for the first time since the Grief of Ages. In a single terrifying night, the capital falls to a flock of wyverns. Fýredel makes a puppet of Sigoso, leaving Marosa a prisoner in her own home, forced to swear allegiance to the Nameless One. All ambassadors are stopped from leaving. The Privy Council sends out birds to announce the conversion, and lava breaks into the city, creating a river of fire.Over the ensuing months, Fýredel sends his wyverns out to raze Yscalin, making sure no trace remains of the Six Virtues of Knightood. Marosa tries in vain to ask her former allies for aid, but no bird can leave the city without being killed. The people begin to suffer from the Draconic plague, formerly known as the red sickness, which has leaked into their water supply. Marosa slowly falls into despair, hoping that Prince Aubrecht will come for her, but knowing he likely thinks her complicit.A woman named Jondu is brought to the palace and tortured in the dungeon. She entrusts Marosa with a strange box, pleading with her to get it to the Erysri envoy, Chassaruq-Ispad. In desperation, Marosa approaches Lord Wilstan Fynch, the Inysh ambassador (and father of Queen Sabran), and asks him to do it for her, not wanting to leave her people. Fynch agrees, but loses his nerve at the last second, abandoning the box and making a doomed attempt to escape to Inys. When she realises that Fynch has failed, Marosa loses all hope.

The Green Hill - Sophie Pierce
In 2017, Sophie Pierceâ ™s life changed forever when her twenty-year-old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. Thrown into an unimaginable new reality, she had to find a way to survive. By writing letters to Felix â “ composed during walks and swims taken close to his burial place by the River Dart â “ Sophie gradually learned how to live in the landscape of sudden loss, navigating the weather and tides of grief. The Green Hill collects these letters alongside Sophieâ ™s account of the years following Felixâ ™s death, into which she weaves poignant memories of his life. What results is a deeply moving, beautifully captured record of how â “ amid the rivers and rocks of Dartmoor, and in the sea off the South Devon coast â “ Sophie was able to hold on to and nurture her bond with Felix, both in her mind and through a physical engagement with the landscape: actively mourning, rather than grieving. This book is a celebration of the natural world and the role it plays in our lives and relationships, as well as an examination of how beauty, a sense of place and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality. Above all, The Green Hill is one womanâ ™s story of navigating through trauma and loss, and towards a fragile, complicated kind of joy. In The Green Hill, Sophie Pierce writes about the sudden death of her son Felix with an aching and gentle honesty. Struggling to come to terms with the loss not only of the young man he was, but everything that he would eventually become, she finds herself overwhelmed not only by grief, but also by love. Her writing is illuminated by a remarkable attention to the beauty and consolation of the natural world, and by the wisdom and tenderness which has been so painfully acquired. This is a book that will be a great comfort to those who need it Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent and Melmoth Unforgettable, necessary. This beautiful book is a map, compass and ration of courage for anyone arrived in the landscape of sudden loss.

No Trade Is Free - Robert Lighthizer
America is the first country in history to fund the rise of its rivals. We need to stop now, before it’s too late. One of the most consequential U.S. Trade Representatives in our history, Robert Lighthizer led a great reset of American trade policy that has endured across Administrations. For more than 40 years, he litigated, negotiated, and editorialized against the failed policies of one-sided free trade as part of both the Reagan and Trump administrations and as a private lawyer. As Trade Representative, he fought against globalists, importers, lobbyists, foreign governments and big businesses whose interests diverged from those of the American workers.For decades, unbalanced “free” trade was the preferred option for the most powerful in Washington, and millions of ordinary Americans paid the price. Instead of prioritizing healthy American communities, good jobs, higher wages, and a promising future for our workers, Washington too often cared more about corporate profits, cheap imports and the concerns of foreign governments, including the Chinese. In return, we got cheaper coffee makers and tee shirts, while thousands of factories closed, wages stagnated, communities deteriorated, economic inequality rose in our country, and we racked up trillions of dollars in trade deficits.Part memoir, part history, and part policy analysis, No Trade is Free tells the story of how America found itself at this point and how the Trump administration took on the orthodoxy of the trade establishment, with astonishing results. With in-depth character sketches of some of the most important leaders of our time—from Donald Trump, to Xi Jinping, to Nancy Pelosi, to Andrés Manuel López Obrador—Lighthizer explains how trade negotiations actually work and why leverage is the key to success—no trade is free.This book is a wake-up call to our politicians, thought leaders, but most importantly, everyday Americans. It presents the case against the policies that have weakened America and left our families and communities behind. It argues for a worker-focused trade policy. It tells the story of our fight for every American job and how for the first time, a US administration took on China. But most importantly, it is a guide to the new world economy—one which will require a worker-focused trade policy.

To her surprise, they are delighted, particularly Wynn! It turns out Saplingâ ™s differences are her strengths and through sharing them, she finds friendship and acceptance.The Secret Of Sapling Green is a story for quiet children who are unsure of their place in their peer group, and the boisterous kids who rule the playground. Its whimsical watercolour illustrations will captivate young readers, and its story will inspire them to be brave and accept themselves â “ and each other â “ for who they are. Saplingâ ™s green thumbs are a subtle and relatable metaphor for conditions which may make children feel like they are different, such as Autism. Her bravery despite her difference is a reminder that we should never feel like we have to hide who we are.

The Concise Mastery - Robert Greene
The perfect pocketbook gift for the power-hungry - from the modern Machiavelli , Robert Greene, international bestselling sensation author of The 48 Laws of Power, Seduction and War. This concise version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene s powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them completely.Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a rigorous apprenticeship : they learnt to master the hidden codes which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality.Told through Robert Greene s signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Concise Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own rules.

Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut - Samantha Cristoforetti
â ˜I read a lot of writings by astronauts in my research for Orbital, but this was my go-to. It s written with clarity, generosity, humour, humility and heartâ ™ Samantha Harvey Today I woke up on Earth. And I will fall asleep in space In space the sun rises and sets 16 times a day. You fly over every sea, every mountain and desert, every city and every port. The most ordinary things -- eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth or cutting your hair -- have to be relearned, until they become familiar again. This is the story of Samantha Cristoforetti s incredible journey to becoming an astronaut, and her journey beyond Earth.Her voyage as an apprentice astronaut began when she was in her early thirties: five years of intense training around the world, from Houston to Japan to the legendary Star City in Russia. Countless hours spent in centrifuges, spaceship simulators and under water for spacewalk practice. Then, one day, a rocket was waiting for her on the launch pad. And after eight minutes of wild ascent, she was on orbit, crunched up with her two crewmates in a tiny spaceship that took them to the International Space Station.With honesty and warmth, Cristoforetti chronicles the two hundred days she spent on the ISS, the joys and challenges of being in an extraordinary place, from the sublime sight of seeing Earth for the first time to more unusual concerns, such as mastering the art of floating. How do you find your bearings when there is no up and down? What is it like to run in weightlessness? And how do you cook in space?This is an enthralling, inspiring and surprisingly down-to-earth story about what it really takes to pursue your dreams.
