With a foreword by Lee Child.Andy Martin spent a year in the company of Lee Child, creator of tough-guy hero Jack Reacher. With Child is the diary of their adventures, tracking the publication and reception of Make Me, the writing of Night School at an apartment in Manhattan, the filming of Never Go Back in New Orleans, all the agony and ecstasy of the creative process and the sheer hard work of selling a bestseller. They go on the road together, from TV studios to bookstores, from Harvard to Stockholm, amid literary conferences and gunshows, rivalries and reviews ranging from adulatory to murderous. We meet fellow writers like Stephen King and David Lagercrantz and Karin Slaughter, and dissect the latest novel from Jonathan Franzen.           But Martin also reaches out to Child’s legion of readers in America and around the world. He tracks down a woman in Texas whose name appears in the home invasion scene in Make Me; he goes up a mountain in Montana in search of the only reader who thinks Reacher is a “lightweight”; and he talks to obsessive fans from Europe to South Africa who find salvation or consolation in the colossal form of Jack Reacher. This compelling account of life on the road with Lee Child demonstrates that readers are just as important as writers in the making of modern fiction.

‘Highly engaging . . . The creeping escalation of oppression and rebellion is often thrillingly told . . . A powerful story of a history that remains far from settled’ Daily Telegraph In the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Anna-Maria van der Vaart sheltered Allied pilots, gave refuge to persecuted Jews and participated in audacious acts of sabotage. She survived when others did not, a witness to their courage and to the terrible treachery that betrayed so many of them to the Nazis. Tens of thousands of Dutchmen elected to fight with the Germans, while many civilians turned over their Jewish neighbours to an almost certain death. Holland’s Jewish leaders prevaricated, hoping to save their people and their own skins. But the exploits of the Dutch Resistance produced unimaginable heroism and unparalleled self-sacrifice. A chance meeting with Martin Sixsmith in 2019 led to Anna-Maria telling him her story. In Dutch and German archives, interviews with survivors, personal diaries and contentious memoirs by those with things to hide, Sixsmith came across a drama on a scale he could never have imagined. My Sins Go with Me is a story of remarkable bravery, and of cowardice and betrayal in the hardest of times.

With warmth, a popular radio and podcast host shares her love of language, weaving together linguistic history, regional phrases, the hidden poetry in etymologies, new words, and stories from her life and time on the airMartha Barnette has spent two decades as the co-host of A Way with Words, lauded by Mary Norris in The New Yorker as “a virtual treasure house” and “‘Car Talk’ for Lexiphiles.” Over that time, she’s developed a keen sense of what fascinates people about language. They are curious about etymology and revel in slang, are surprised by regional vocabulary and celebrate linguistic diversity. Idioms both puzzle and delight word lovers, and they are eager to share family neologisms and that weird phrase Grandma always used to say. In Friends with Words, Barnette weaves together all these strands in a clear, informative, highly entertaining exploration of language. Chock-full of anecdotes, humorous asides, new words, trivia, and other lexicological delights, Friends with Words also tells Barnette’s story—from her Appalachian roots through her study of Ancient Greek, and on to the making of a beloved and enduring show. Friends with Words is an expert, good-humored, joyful book.

This book charts the origins, design and development of the most iconic British supercar of the 1970s and 1980s - the Aston Martin V8. It traces the car''s origins from the introductory model of 1967, the DBS through the various iterations of the V8 versions and ends with the final models of the range, the spectacular Vantage Zagato. While the car started life with Aston Martin''s ageing six-cylinder engine, it quickly received the engine the car was originally designed to be fitted with; Aston Martin''s mighty quad cam V8. The V8 would would power the car through the 70s and 80s, and with various tweaks and tunes, described in the book, would keep Aston Martin''s reputation as a vendor of fast, high-performance coupes alive through some very troubling times.The book covers the whole family of standard production cars produced by Aston Martin, along with various special versions, including the Ogle-designed ''Sotheby Special'', the Siva S350 and the ''Bulldog'' which recently broke the 200mph barrier. Alongside the specials the book also looks at the racing variants, including the Le Mans Lola of 1967, the spectacular V8 production racer run by Robin Hamilton (which was nicknamed ''the muncher'' thanks to its spectacular performance meaning it would eat is brakes for breakfast) and the Nimrod, which saw Aston Martin return to Le Mans in the 1980s. It also looks at the car in film and on the small screen, with James Bond looming large (''On Her Majesty''s Secret Service'' and ''The Living Daylights'') and with Roger Moore cavorting about Europe with Tony Curtis in the popular TV series ''The Persuaders!'' polishing the cars celebrity credentials.With some 70,000 words and 250+ pictures, many never seen before, this book pays a heartfelt tribute to the The Aston Martin V8. The V8 was the poster car for the patriotic British teenager of the 1970s and 1980s, providing a glimmer of hope that Britain could produce a world beating performance car that was the match of Italian exotica and American muscle. The Aston Martin V8 was that world beater, a car with superlative looks, amazing performance, unparalleled luxury and tough, reliable underpinnings. This book is a heartfelt tribute to the car, the car that kept Aston Martin''s hopes and British automotive dreams alive, a car that is now starting to be recognised for the true British supercar it always has been.

Discover New Methods for Dealing with High-Dimensional DataA sparse statistical model has only a small number of nonzero parameters or weights; therefore, it is much easier to estimate and interpret than a dense model. Statistical Learning with Sparsity: The Lasso and Generalizations presents methods that exploit sparsity to help recover the underlying signal in a set of data.Top experts in this rapidly evolving field, the authors describe the lasso for linear regression and a simple coordinate descent algorithm for its computation. They discuss the application of â„“1 penalties to generalized linear models and support vector machines, cover generalized penalties such as the elastic net and group lasso, and review numerical methods for optimization. They also present statistical inference methods for fitted (lasso) models, including the bootstrap, Bayesian methods, and recently developed approaches. In addition, the book examines matrix decomposition, sparse multivariate analysis, graphical models, and compressed sensing. It concludes with a survey of theoretical results for the lasso.In this age of big data, the number of features measured on a person or object can be large and might be larger than the number of observations. This book shows how the sparsity assumption allows us to tackle these problems and extract useful and reproducible patterns from big datasets. Data analysts, computer scientists, and theorists will appreciate this thorough and up-to-date treatment of sparse statistical modeling.

“Spiritually rewarding and uplifting.” — Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New YorkNew York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine Father James Martin reveals how we can turn to Christ completely in mind, heart, and soul. Martin offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments and shows us what it means to be fully human.Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”“Today you will be with me in Paradise.”“Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”“I thirst.”“It is finished.”“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.

When most parenting books were written decades ago, they did not address—nor could they address—all the issues parents would face today in the era of technology and excess.

That’s what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books will do.Understanding and Loving Your Child with ADHD will guide parents with methods they can use to help children who suffer from ADHD build character and competence rather than conflict, failure, shame, or disconnection.

This book introduces some 75 species of wetland birds to readers through the eyes of Kate Humble.As she freely admits herself, Kate is still learning her birds, so to find out more she contacted Martin McGill of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust to act as her guide. Their birdwatching sessions together form the basis of this book.As Kate learns the difference between a Canada Goose and a Barnacle Goose, which ducks dive and which ducks dabble, and how to tell apart those little brown jobs that warble from the reedbeds, so she passes on the information to the reader as she goes. The effect is not dissimilar to the Last Chance to See series, in which Mark Carwardine and Stephen Fry scour the world for endangered species.The difference between Canada Geese and Barnacle Geese? Just remember that the C-anada goose has a C-hin-strap. The Teal is the Ziggy Stardust of the duck world, while the Shoveler feeds as though it''s dropped its contact lenses.Each species takes up approximately two pages, complete with photographs and illustrations to bring out the key identification and behavioural points. The birds are divided into simply titled groups - large waddling birds, little brown jobs, and so on. Other chapters in the book cover topics such as basic equipment, clothing, hide etiquette and more, each written for the beginner in Kate''s style.

The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families.

‘And then came the session where I felt I would give up. I felt frustrated as I’d worked so hard on trying to speak but the most important words; the worst ones, had simply not come out. I implied I would not necessarily come back the following week and as I got up to leave the room, Pat said, ‘Try detaching from it entirely. Try writing it as a fairy story. Start with the words, once upon a time there was a little girl’.  That evening, I tried. I sat on my bed and typed on the note’s app of my phone Once Upon A Time … and finally, four decades after the abuse began, the words started to flow.’ This book documents the therapeutic journey undertaken by Sophie and her therapist, Pat. It includes all chapters of the fairy tale and the drawings Sophie created to help her make sense of her experiences and to reconnect with herself. It also contains the many in-between session conversations Pat and Sophie had by email, WhatsApp, and texts, with important insights into how to work safely with trauma.  Essential reading for all therapists, counsellors, health professionals, educators, and social workers, interested in understanding or working with survivors of child sexual abuse, and for those who are survivors of sexual abuse, The Flying Child – A Cautionary Fairy Tale for Adults- Finding a purposeful life after Child Sexual Abuse through compassionate and creative therapy – is a must- have for your bookshelf.  Today, Sophie is a survivor activist, writer, founder and managing director of The Flying Child: a non-profit, National Lottery Community Funded organisation improving the awareness of child sexual abuse and the consequences of trauma. The core aim of The Flying Child is to normalise speaking about CSA. The Flying Child Project brings lived experience into the heart of professional settings, providing training in Education, Social Work and Healthcare.  Pat Walsh is an experiential and intuitive counsellor with over forty years’ experience of working in trauma. Her background in nursing and occupational therapy taught her that to heal properly, wounds must be deeply cleansed, and purpose and meaning must be established to build any long -lasting recovery. She brings these learnings into her therapeutic work with survivors of sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse.

Western theory and practice are over-represented in child welfare services for Indigenous peoples, not the other way around. Contributors to this collection invert the long-held, colonial relationship between Indigenous peoples and systems of child welfare in Canada. By understanding the problem as the prevalence of the Western universe in child welfare services rather than Indigenous peoples, efforts to understand and support Indigenous children and families are fundamentally transformed. Child welfare for Indigenous peoples must be informed and guided by Indigenous practices and understandings. Privileging the iyiniw (First people, people of the land) universe leads to reinvigorating traditional knowledges, practices and ceremonies related to children and families that have existed for centuries. The chapters of ohpikinawasowin/Growing a Child describe wisdom-seeking journeys and service-provision changes that occurred in Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8 territory on Turtle Island. Many of the teachings are nehiyaw (Cree) and some are from the Blackfoot people. Taken together, this collection forms a whole related to the Turtle Lodge Teachings, which expresses nehiyaw stages of development, and works to undo the colonial trappings of Canada's current child welfare system.

Aston Martin is the Great British survivor among car manufacturers.Created as Bamford & Martin in 1913, Aston Martin’s subsequent century-long existence has seen the company go bust seven times, win the Le Mans 24 Hours and become indispensable transport for a certain movie spy. This comprehensive and timely two-volume study by Russell Hayes covers Aston Martin’s adventure from the very beginning, setting the cars in context with the changing automotive world and rivals, and adding insights from contemporary road tests and first-hand accounts from recent company personalities.

Knihu vytvořili bratři Tomáš a Martin Welsovi jako dárek pro své rodiče k Vánocům roku 1938. Podařilo se jim zachytit každodenní život jejich rodiny v Praze na konci třicátých let 20. století. Svazek je sestaven z dialogů a scén s výjevy z rodinného života Welsových, v mnoha ohledech dodnes typických, v jiných naopak nepředstavitelných. Autorem ilustrací je výtvarně nadaný mladší ze sourozenců Martin (1925-1944). V knize se střídá čeština s němčinou, tento stav odráží tehdejší jazykovou situaci v Praze. Dále se objevuje angličtina a francouzština. Všechny texty jsou přeloženy a grafické řešení umožňuje, že je kniha jazykově přístupná nejen českému čtenáři, ale i jinojazyčným mluvčím. Název Sancta Familia (Svatá rodina) vyjadřuje zkratkou rodinné vztahy: "Když mají dobrou náladu, mají se moc rádi, a někdy se hádají tak, že by se roztrhli. Rodina, jak má být."V knize jsou zaznamenány obyčejné situace: Martin prochází po ulici Na Příkopě s matkou Idou - mluví německy; na Můstku přechází do češtiny - tak, jak se na Václavském náměstí slušelo -, zastaví se v automatu Koruna pro vepřenku a limonádu. Později, když všichni sedí doma u jídelního stolu, vypukne vášnivá debata, proč Martin víc nesportuje - mohl by alespoň chodit bruslit - a proč má trojku z matiky. V jiné scéně otec Rudolf a jeho obchodní partner diskutují o nejnovějším politickém vývoji ve světě. Jinde se spekuluje o tom, zda má Tomáš přítelkyni, a jinde zase, kdy hodlá Idina přítelkyně paní Lederkrempová emigrovat. Bratři v knize, která vznikla necelé tři měsíce po podpisu Mnichovské dohody, předjímají budoucnost: představují si, že na jaře 1939 bude Tomáš na cestě do Ameriky. S matkou Martin vtipkuje, že, když tam jednou bude celá rodina, budou moci v Americe otevřít rodinnou restauraci s vepřenkami. I přes humor a láskyplné škádlení prosvítá nejistota a obavy. "Rodina se do budoucna nemá čeho bát," píše ale Martin na konci knihy, "doufejme, že brzy najde nový domov a bude pokračovat v klidu v této divadelní hře." Už v říjnu 1938 požádala celá rodina o emigrační vízum do Spojených států. Rudolf a Ida se oba narodili do západočeských židovských rodin. O Rudolfových předcích, chudých maloobchodních z Rokycanska, se můžeme dočíst v pamětech U "Bernatů",které napsal jeho otec Šimon Wels v roce 1919. Tomášovi je osmnáct, Martin je o pět let mladší. Výtvarné nadání zdědil Martin asi po otcovi. V době vzniku knihy byl Rudolf Wels již velmi úspěšným architektem, autorem řady zajímavých a originálních projektů. Události se ale odvíjely jinak, než jak si bratři přáli: Tomášovi se podařilo odejít včas. V dubnu 1939, krátce po březnové okupaci, utekl přes Polsko do Velké Británie, kde za války sloužil v britské armádě. Martinovi a jeho rodičům Idě a Rudolfovi byla žádost o vízum do Spojených států odložena. Byli zavražděni v Osvětimi 8. března 1944. Tomáš se vrátil do Prahy hned po válce, ale nikoho tu už neměl. To, co se z rodinného archivu zachovalo, vzal s sebou zpátky do Anglie. Později měl svou rodinu, o minulosti ale nikdy nemluvil a nikdy neotevřel krabici, ve které se zachovala i kniha Sancta Familia.

Audiokniha: Miko Syrový slaví dvě desítky let své policejní kariéry. Tedy slavil by, pokud by zrovna neležel v nemocniční posteli. A tak alespoň vzpomíná na dobráky i nebožáky, kteří prošli jeho detektivním životem. Na jedné straně kolegové, na té druhé zlodějíčci, podvodníci, rabiáti a dokonce vrazi. Julo, jeho první velitel, nenasytná, a přesto osamocená Zuzanka, Greg, maličký nácek Patrik, gambler Beny... Ti a mnozí další defilují Mikovi před očima a on si vybavuje příběhy, které s nimi prožil v dobách dávných i těch sotva minulých. V povídkové knize Živý mrtvý vrací Martin Goffa na scénu svého detektiva pražské kriminálky, Mikuláše Syrového. Martin Goffa (*1965) populární český spisovatel detektivních příběhů a thrillerů. Kromě románů píše i povídky. Spisovatel vystupující pod pseudonymem Martin Goffa pracoval od 90. let na Policii ČR nejprve jako pochůzkář, převážnou část těchto patnácti let ale působil jako detektiv kriminální služby. Nyní se zabývá obchodem a psaním. Tomu se začal věnovat až po ukončení policejní kariéry. Literární kritik Pavel Mandys řadí Goffu mezi nejzajímavější nové české autory detektivek. Oceňuje, jak využívá své policejní zkušenosti a domnívá se, že se jako spisovatel s každým dalším dílem zlepšuje. Napsal například Muž s unavenýma očima, Bez těla, Mezi dvěma ohni. Román Přiznat vinu, první díl jeho nové série s novinářem Terencem, se letos umístil na třetím místě v ceně Jiřího Marka pro nejlepší českou detektivku. Martin Preiss (*1973) již během studia herectví na pražském DAMU hostoval v činohře Národního divadla, poté chvíli také působil v Plzni v divadle J.K.Tyla. V roce 1998 se stal členem činohry Národního divadla. Objevuje se také na televizní obrazovce, často v seriálech. Proslavil se i díky moderování soutěžního pořadu Chcete být milionářem? Kromě herectví a moderování se Martin Preiss věnuje dabingu, četbě pro rozhlas nebo audioknih. Libor Hruška (*1965) po konzervatoři působil ve Státním divadle Ostrava a následně v několika pražských divadlech jako např. Divadle pod Palmovkou či v Karlínském divadle. Před kamerou ztvárnil řadu menších rolí. Proslul zejména jako bravurní a vyhledávaný dabér a svůj hlas propůjčil několika tisícům postav. V dabingu se uplatňuje také jako režisér. Roku 2006 získal Cenu Františka Filipovského.

Meet ‘Generation Reincarnation’–and they want us to listen to them. So, how can we ‘see’ them?Enter Amy Molloy, award-winning journalist and mother of three.

Lucian Freud (1922–2011), widely regarded as the greatest figurative painter of our time, spent seven months painting a portrait of the art critic Martin Gayford. The daily narrative of their encounters takes us into that most private place, the artist’s studio, and to the heart of the working methods of this modern master – both technical and subtly psychological. From this emerges an understanding of what a portrait is, but something else is also built up: a portrait, in words, of Freud himself. Full of wry and revealing observations, this is a book not quite like any other: the inside story of how it feels to pose for a remarkable artist, and be transformed into a work of art.
