The 10

A Memoir of Family and the Open Road

'Sensational' - Daily Mail Published for her centenary, Elizabeth II is a brilliant new portrait of the late Queen, full of fresh revelations. From the Sunday Times number one bestselling author of Charles III, it is the essential story of her life and record-breaking reign. Biographer and royal commentator Robert Hardman has had unique access to the world of the late Queen - including family, staff, advisers and even the last state visitor of her record-breaking reign, President Donald Trump himself. As daughter, wife, mother and sovereign, Elizabeth lived fascinating parallel lives, both in private and in public. But she remained something of a mystery - beloved, even revered, modest yet daunting, naturally shy but globally recognizable, inscrutable and also authentic. She was grand but so familiar that we felt we knew her. Yet we would always be left asking the same question: 'What's she really like?' The only biographer to have interviewed all the senior members of the Royal Family, some of them several times, no one has written more authoritatively on Queen Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman. Here he has crafted a gripping story of drama, devotion, triumph, tragedy, humour and conflict; of an outwardly stoical, inwardly complex woman whose love of family, love of country and duty to the Crown might have pulled her in different directions but never derailed her; a global stateswoman who wielded her great authority with charm and understatement. Elizabeth II will explain why the Queen was not merely the most famous woman in the world. She was one of history's all-time greats. 'If you read one biography on Elizabeth II, this is the one . . . magnificent' - Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of The World: A Family History

In Private. In Public. The Inside Story

Elizabeth II

“A profound work of true beauty and mystery” ––Luis Alberto Urrea A fearless work from the prize-winning acclaimed author, composed over a period of some twenty years, Gravity is Elizabeth Rosner's profoundly searching account of her experience as the daughter of Holocaust survivors Composed over a period of some twenty years, Gravity is Elizabeth Rosner's profoundly searching account of her experience as the daughter of Holocaust survivors. In an extraordinarily powerful mix of poetry and prose, Rosner traces the earliest remembered resonances of her parents' past and her dawning awareness of the war history that colored her family home during her youth in Schenectady, New York. She recounts her false starts in raising the subject with her father (a survivor of Buchenwald concentration camp), his piecemeal revelations, and their eventual travels together to the sites of the nightmare in Germany. And she evokes, courageously and heart-wrenchingly, her search for identity against the gravitational pull of her parents' experience and the traditional upbringing they've given her. Like Rosner's celebrated novels, Gravity plumbs the deep complexities of inherited grief, but here the author discloses, with breathtaking candor and sensitivity, "what it felt like to grow up inside my family." Also featuring spellbinding artwork by Lola Fraknoi, these astonishing pages remind us that history happens at home and that the past is something we all embody, knowingly or not.

Tilly Twomley sehnt sich verzweifelt nach Veränderung. Nachdem sie sich mit ihrem neurodivergenten Gehirn durch die Highschool gekämpft hat, fühlt sie sich nun bereit für einen Neuanfang. Ein Praktikum im Start-up ihrer perfekten älteren Schwester ist zwar nicht gerade das, was Tilly sich für ihren Sommer vorgestellt hat, aber die damit verbundene Reise durch Europa könnte eine Inspiration für ihre Zukunft sein. Das Problem ist nur, dass Tilly keine Ahnung hat, wie ihre Zukunft aussehen soll. Oliver Clark weiß genau, was er will. Aufgrund seines Autismus fällt es ihm oft schwer, Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen aufzubauen. Aber sein Spezialinteresse für Farbtheorie hilft ihm, soziale Schluchten zu überwinden.

Bis er den katastrophalsten internationalen Flug seines Lebens erlebt, dessen Turbulenzen alle von seiner lebhaften (genauer gesagt: nervtötenden) Sitznachbarin und Co-Praktikantin Tilly ausgehen ... Eine Summer-RomCom darüber, dass man einige der besten Dinge im Leben nicht planen kann. Und ein katastrophal schöner Sommer, der viel zu schnell zu Ende geht.

'Rich, moving and wryly funny... a delight' Observer *Graphic Novel of the Month*'Brilliant, witty and endlessly inventive' Joe Dunthorne, author of SubmarineA road-trip across Europe and back in time: the debut graphic memoir from the prize-winning author of A Funeral In Freiburg.When her imperious, chain-smoking German Jewish grandmother dies, it falls to Astrid and her father to drive a hire van to the Black Forest and collect the family heirlooms from Gisela's nicotine-stained apartment.In Freiburg, they are faced with several lifetimes' worth of belongings to sort through - infested Persian rugs, mysterious photographs, a toy monkey that started a marriage - and a grasping landlord, impatient to renovate.As the list of demands from uncles, sisters and cousins grows longer, the rabbit-holes of history and memory grow deeper. Long-buried secrets and tales of survival are revealed - from Nazi Germany to colonial Africa - and old feuds are reignited, as father and daughter struggle with the responsibility of preserving the family legacy. More importantly, will they be able to fit everything into a medium wheel-base transit van?Funny, bittersweet and beautifully drawn, The Crystal Vase is an odyssey of family arguments, identity crises, and late discoveries.

The Crystal Vase

Ford Madox Ford's great masterpiece exploring love and identity during the First World War, in a Penguin Classics edition with an introduction by Julian Barnes. A masterly novel of destruction and regeneration, Parade's End follows the story of aristocrat Christopher Tietjens as his world is shattered by the First World War. Tracing the psychological damage inflicted by battle, the collapse of England's secure Edwardian values - embodied in Christopher's wife, the beautiful, cruel socialite Sylvia - and the beginning of a new age, epitomized by the suffragette Valentine Wannop, Parade's End is an elegy for both the war dead and the passing of a way of life.'The finest English novel about the Great War' Malcolm Bradbury'The best novel by a British writer ... It is also the finest novel about the First World War. It is also the finest novel about the nature of British society' Anthony Burgess'There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them' W.H. Auden'The English prose masterpiece of the time' William Carlos Williams

One of the great works of fiction to emerge from World War I, featuring an introduction by Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes A Penguin Classic Consisting of four novels—Some Do Not . . ., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up,&nbsp;and The Last Post—Parade's End is the story of Christopher Tietjens and his journey from the secure world of Edwardian England into World War I and beyond. Both a portrait of a love triangle—among Tietjens; his beautiful and reckless wife, Sylvia; and the suffragette Valentine—and a depiction of life on the Western Front, Parade's End is one of the greatest fictional works of the twentieth century. Ranging from the drawing rooms of England to the trenches of France and moving between past and present, it is a haunting exploration of identity, loss, and memory.

Lonely Planet Experience Pacific Northwest

With a new afterword by the author and an interview with Chanel Miller. An Instant New York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Natalie Portman's Book Club Pick for March. "Amanda's story-innovatively told by versions of herself at different ages-underscores the lasting power of speaking your truth, building a movement, and never losing sight of your dreams." -Melinda French Gates "In Saving Five, Amanda Nguyen shows us how to reclaim the full spectrum of our lives, replete with pain, fury, creativity, and recovered dreams." -Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name In 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen's life was changed forever when she was raped at Harvard University. Determined not to let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA after graduation, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under "Jane Doe." But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to press charges before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change-not only for herself but for survivors everywhere. A heart-wrenching memoir of survival and hope, Saving Five boldly braids the story of Nguyen's activism-which resulted in Congress's unanimous passage of the Survivors' Bill of Rights Act in 2016-with a second, beautifully imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they, at the ages of five, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty, navigate the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. The result is a groundbreaking work that seamlessly blends memoir with a moving recounting of her journey toward acceptance and hope, forging a path ahead that is as inspiring as it is instructive. From one of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of our time, Saving Five is at once a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action, and a resounding cry to change the world.

Saving Five

Book DescriptionYou do not have to start in technology-or start young-to build a successful career in IT.Rob Campbell grew up poor in a southern Minnesota trailer park, taking apart electronics, rebuilding broken machines, and learning how to solve problems with whatever he had available. But instead of pursuing technology, he spent nearly nineteen years working in commercial printing.By his mid-thirties, Rob had a family, a mortgage, and a stable career. Starting over would mean giving up seniority, comfort, and everything he already knew.He took one college class anyway.That small decision changed the direction of his life.In Trailer Park to Technology Leader, Rob shares the setbacks, unusual opportunities, hard-earned lessons, and moments of humor that carried him from the production floor into networking, IT management, cybersecurity leadership, college teaching, and technology broadcasting.This is not the story of someone who followed a perfect career plan. It is the story of someone who kept learning, showed up prepared, and discovered that years spent troubleshooting machines, serving customers, managing people, and making mistakes had prepared him for opportunities he could not yet see.Readers interested in entering IT will see that practical experience, curiosity, and persistence can matter as much as starting early. Current and future leaders will find honest lessons about trust, employee development, business growth, difficult managers, and becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow.Trailer Park to Technology Leader is for anyone who has ever wondered: <ul><li>Is it too late to change careers?</li><li>Do I have enough experience to work in technology?</li><li>Can the skills I already have transfer into something new?</li><li>What kind of manager do I want to become?</li><li>What does success really look like?</li></ul>Rob did not become a millionaire or build the next major technology company.He found work he loves, built a stable life, and became the technology leader he once could not imagine becoming.Sometimes success is not going from rags to riches.Sometimes it is finding your dream job.

*A Radio 4 Book of the Week*'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' - Maureen Freely'Humane, thoughtful and urgent - this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' - Dr Mary WellesleyA thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body__________Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act - or even legal at all?Is it right that you can pay more for 'VIP' egg donors - and to view their photos?How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost - and who should be allowed to buy it?The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person's biological bad luck can be another person's financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.__________'A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women's bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale

'As compelling as any du Maurier mystery - an extraordinary family saga wonderfully told' GYLES BRANDRETH'Packed to the rafters with delicious details' FRANCES WILSON, SPECTATOR'Daphne du Maurier's many fans will eagerly lap [this book] up ... a warm and intimate tribute' THE TIMES'An unforgettable portrait of Daphne du Maurier' TATIANA DE ROSNAY, author of Manderley ForeverAn intimate, revelatory family biography of the iconic writer Daphne du Maurier and her famous ancestors, by her eldest grandsonBorn into a well-known artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier grew up in an atmosphere of carefree privilege - but at a time when women of her class were not expected to have a career. She however defied convention and moved to Cornwall to pursue her ambition to become a writer. There, over six decades, she dreamt up the stories that have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and still haunt our cultural imagination, including Rebecca, Jamaica Inn and 'The Birds'. Last Night I Dreamt explores how the turbulence and contradictions of Daphne's own life - spanning war, complex family dynamics, a marriage to a renowned but damaged general, and unrequited love - inspired her writing. It also uncovers the powerful influence of her notable forebears, in particular her domineering father Gerald, the most famous actor-manager of his generation; her grandfather George, a renowned Victorian novelist and cartoonist; and the mistress to the Duke of York, Mary Anne Clarke, another woman who refused to obey the rules.Paul de Zulueta, Daphne's grandson, has drawn on private family archives, new interviews and his own memories of his grandmother, a woman who was central to his early life. In doing so, he gives us an extraordinary look into the world of Daphne du Maurier with rare closeness and emotional candour, and a moving portrait of one of the great British artistic families of the 19th and 20th centuries.'A work of immense research, written with frankness and a shrewd eye for detail and beautifully illustrated. It is all told with a most engaging conversational charm' COUNTRY LIFE 'Charming ... a grandson's unique perspective ... a love letter both to the family and a bygone England' FINANCIAL TIMES'An intimate biography that only a family member could write' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
