wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An
incredible adventure is about to begin!

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in
front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for
Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord
Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first
ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea
leaves.... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the
school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss....

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through
millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare,
Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the
traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus,
marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos,
weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant,
living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also
known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of
candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when
you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a
heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate
them.

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay
wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger
generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the

centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War
College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant
to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real
training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not
just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to
stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice
commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how
powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron
Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse
when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him
down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must...and a dead
enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s
family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir
of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He
claims the Iron Throne.

loved authors, these are rediscovered tales that Pratchett wrote under a
pseudonym for newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. Whilst none of the stories

in his award-winning and globally bestselling series, containing all of his
trademark wit, satirical wisdom and fantastic imagination. These are tales which
entertain, enlighten and, most importantly, make you laugh.

his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for
a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of
miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a
parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but
which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on
the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then,
some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be
threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose
survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark
Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the
recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.
Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth
of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods
is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom
of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the
great events at the end of the Third Age.

According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven.
But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and
men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers
followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons,
the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as
Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had,
and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her
own blood. She’s left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of
all Raihn. The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. Raihn’s own nobles
are none too eager to accept a Turned king, especially one who was once a slave.
And the House of Blood digs its claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it

1992. Eight respectable, upstanding people have been found dead across the US.
These deaths look like accidents and don't appear to be connected. Until one
body - the victim of a fatal fall from a hospital window - generates some
unexpected attention. That attention comes from the Secretary of Defence, who
promptly calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher is
assigned as the Army's representative. Reacher may be an exceptional soldier,
but sweeping other people's secrets under the carpet isn't part of his skill

1792. A tyrannical government is determined to make England a mighty commercial
empire. In France, Napoleon Bonaparte begins his rise to power, and with dissent
rife, France’s neighbours are on high alert. Unprecedented industrial change

cloth mills a misery. Rampant modernization and dangerous new machinery are
rendering jobs obsolete and tearing families apart. Now, as international
conflict nears, a story of a small group of Kingsbridge people will come to
define the struggle of a generation.

When a young farmer confronts intruders in the middle of the night he has no
idea that just minutes later he will be left dying in a pool of blood. What’s
more chilling is what the perpetrators were willing to kill for. At the scene of
the crime, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace soon realises this is no isolated
robbery gone wrong but the tip of the iceberg of a nationwide crime wave, in
which ruthless organised gangs are making more money from the illegal trade in
dogs than drugs. A trade which pits him against some ruthless people who will
kill anyone who gets in their way.

When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective
Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he has gone off by himself for a few
days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him
home. But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's
disappearance than his wife realises. The novelist has just completed a
manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the
novel were published it would ruin lives - so there are a lot of people who
might want to silence him.

Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse
when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him

enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s
family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir
of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He
claims the Iron Throne.

loved authors, these are rediscovered tales that Pratchett wrote under a

in his award-winning and globally bestselling series, containing all of his
trademark wit, satirical wisdom and fantastic imagination. These are tales which
entertain, enlighten and, most importantly, make you laugh.

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East Editor, has been covering the region since
1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled
present. In this new book, in part based on his acclaimed podcast, Bowen takes
us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets
ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or
benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation
on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for
political, religious and economic control.

Through a stellar cast of politicians, diplomats, spies and soldiers, including
T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle, A Line in the Sand
vividly tells the story of the short but crucial era when Britain and France
ruled the Middle East. It explains exactly how the old antagonism between these
two powers inflamed the more familiar modern rivalry between the Arabs and the
Jews and ultimately led to war between the British and the French in 1941 and
between the Arabs and the Jews in 1948.

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through
millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare,
Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the
traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus,
marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos,
weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East Editor, has been covering the region since
1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled
present. In this new book, in part based on his acclaimed podcast, Bowen takes
us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets
ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or
benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation
on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for
political, religious and economic control.

Through a stellar cast of politicians, diplomats, spies and soldiers, including
T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle, A Line in the Sand
vividly tells the story of the short but crucial era when Britain and France
ruled the Middle East. It explains exactly how the old antagonism between these
two powers inflamed the more familiar modern rivalry between the Arabs and the
Jews and ultimately led to war between the British and the French in 1941 and
between the Arabs and the Jews in 1948.

In the 1920s the richest people per capita in the world were members of the
Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land,
they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to
study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family
of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were
shot and poisoned. And this was just the beginning, as more and more members of
the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances.

Some years ago a stash of family records was handed down to Michael Palin, among
which were photos of an enigmatic young man in army uniform, as well as photos
of the same young man as a teenager looking uncomfortable at family gatherings.
This, Michael learnt, was his Great-Uncle Harry, born in 1884, died in 1916. He
had previously had no idea that he had a Great-Uncle Harry, much less that his
life was cut short at the age of 32 when he was killed in the Battle of the
Somme. The discovery both shocked him and made him want to know much more about
him.

In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored
and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was
imaginative, radical and entirely against the rules: a small undercover unit
that would wreak havoc behind enemy lines. Despite intense opposition, Winston
Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the most ruthless
soldiers he could find. So began the most celebrated and mysterious military
organisation in the world: the SAS.

Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, one
after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus
Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have?
Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? Emperor of Rome goes directly to
the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman,
offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's fascinating and humorous
quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise
of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us,
like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them
comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in
science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals
the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen
celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the
city of Troy, to which they will lay siege for 10 whole and very bloody years.
It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers the war when he asks the Trojan
prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris
with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally,
nature takes its course.

Pax is the third in a trilogy of books narrating the history of the Roman
Empire. The series that began with Rubicon, and continued with Dynasty, now
arrives at the period which marks the apogée of the pax Romana. It provides a
portrait of the ancient world's ultimate superpower at war and at peace; from
the gilded capital to the barbarous realms beyond the frontier; from emperors to
slaves.

Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is
something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from
Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And
its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still
influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman
history from one of the world's foremost classicists.

Conflict is both a sweeping history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin’s
invasion of the Ukraine, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from
the past—and anticipate in the future—in order to navigate an increasingly
perilous world. In this deep and incisive study, General David Petraeus, who
commanded the US-led coalitions in both Iraq and Afghanistan and former CIA
director, and the prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts, explore over 70 years
of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis
of the past.

It should have been an easy victory. After the triumph in Tunisia, the sweeping
success of Sicily, and with Italy finally knocked out of the war, the Allies
were quietly confident that Rome would be theirs before Christmas 1943. And yet
it didn't happen. Hitler decided not to give ground, and the stage was set for
one of the grimmest and most attritional phases of the war. Even though they
were short of supplies and support, German forces, even in retreat, made the
Allies fight for every bitter yard.

The existence of free will - our ability to choose between one course of action
and another, to determine our own destiny - is a foundation stone of Western
society, dictating our notions of fairness and justice, punishment and reward,
our very identity as individuals and humans. But as world-renowned scientist
Robert Sapolsky shows, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that free
will exists, even while everything in our biology leads us to believe that it
does.

For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress
against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer,
Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with
treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr
Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris
Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary Limitless, believes we must replace
this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.

We tend to believe that normality equals health. Yet what is the norm in the
Western world? Mental illness is on an unstoppable rise. Some 45 percent of
Europeans suffer high blood pressure, and nearly 70 percent of Americans take at
least one prescription drug. Illness and trauma are defining how we live. In his
new masterpiece, renowned physician, addiction expert and author Gabor Maté
dissects the underlying causes of this malaise—physical and emotional, and
connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day
living.

When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but
in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body's largest
endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of
health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr Lyon's patients were experiencing
were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle. Now, Dr Lyon
offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in
evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle - no
matter your age or health background.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and
yet it is increasingly neglected in 21st century society, with devastating
consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer,
obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very
recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it
served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other
basic drives in life - eating, drinking and reproducing - the purpose of sleep
remained elusive.

lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against
distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we
rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the

how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing

mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices.
One system is fast, intuitive and emotional; the other is slower, more
deliberative and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary
capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking and reveals the
pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times
best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've
interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss
Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to
legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most
of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour
interview.

other kids like me. But Camp Half-Blood is a bit different to most summer camps.
Instead of toasting marshmallows and singing campfire songs, we battle giant

stuff and messed up are key. That's where all my learning happens and where I

us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets
ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or
benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation
on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for
political, religious and economic control.

In the 1920s the richest people per capita in the world were members of the
Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land,
they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to
study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family
of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were
shot and poisoned. And this was just the beginning, as more and more members of
the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her
mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do
anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called
“calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She
endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are
invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even
showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her
income.

Some years ago a stash of family records was handed down to Michael Palin, among
which were photos of an enigmatic young man in army uniform, as well as photos
of the same young man as a teenager looking uncomfortable at family gatherings.
This, Michael learnt, was his Great-Uncle Harry, born in 1884, died in 1916. He
had previously had no idea that he had a Great-Uncle Harry, much less that his
life was cut short at the age of 32 when he was killed in the Battle of the
Somme. The discovery both shocked him and made him want to know much more about
him.
