Bloomsbury The Light in Everything Balen Katya

Том всё ещё пуглив и тих, хотя со дня смерти отца прошло почти два года • У Зофии всё наоборот: внутри неё бушует шторм, вызывающий желание бороться со всем миром за то, чего она хочет • А сейчас она больше всего хочет, чтобы этот унылый Том убрался из её жизни. Том отвечает шумной, непредсказуемой Зофии такой же ненавистью, но вынужден переехать жить в её дом, потому что их родители встречаются… и ждут ребёнка • Оба – и Том, и Зофия, – хотели бы, чтобы этого ребёнка никогда не было. Но затем мать Тома заболевает, и начинает казаться, что их общее желание может исполниться • Катя Бейлен, обладательница Медали Карнеги, представляет жизнеутверждающую историю о соединяющихся семьях, о том, как научиться доверять, отпускать и отправляться навстречу неизвестности с надеждой в сердце

How did a piece of gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms? • What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays? • How did the experiments in the run-up to the Large Hadron Collider lead to the invention of the World Wide Web? • Asking questions has always been at the heart of physics, our unending quest to understand the Universe and how everything in it behaves. How do we know all that we know about the world today? It's not simply because we have the maths – it's because we have done the experiments • Accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the creative and curious people who, through a combination of genius, persistence and luck, staged the ground-breaking experiments of the twentieth century. From the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory, to the scientists trying to prove Einstein wrong (and inadvertently proving him right), The Matter of Everything takes us on a journey through the history of experiments that transformed our world

X knows only obedience – has only seen hatred. Until one bright soul pierces the darkness • Zoe rages against a world turning to ice. Her father's body lies unrecovered in the wilderness and no one seems to care • X and Zoe were never meant to meet. But when their worlds collide, they dare to love ... They stand on the edge of everything – and risk it all

For centuries hummingbirds have captured our imaginations: revered by Native Americans, coveted by European collectors and admired worldwide for their jewel-like plumage, acrobatic flight and immense character • Though their renown extends throughout the world, hummingbirds are found exclusively in the Americas. Small in stature yet fiercely tenacious, they have conquered every habitat imaginable: from boreal woodlands to deserts, mangrove swamps to volcanic slopes, and on islands both tropical and sub-polar. The Glitter in the Green takes us on an unforgettable journey in search of the most remarkable examples of this wildly variable family. There's the Bee Hummingbird in Cuba, the smallest species of bird to have ever lived; the diminutive Rufous Hummingbird, whose annual migration exceeds 3,000 miles; and the critically endangered Juan Fernandez Firecrown, marooned on the remote Pacific island that inspired Robinson Crusoe

London, 1840: Wagner's latest opera plays to packed houses while disgruntled workers gather in crowded pubs to eat ice cream and plan the downfall of the bourgeoisie. And the Pirate Captain - his disguise proving something of a letdown - finds himself incarcerated in Scotland Yard, in a case of mistaken identity. Discovering that his doppelganger is none other than Karl Marx, the Captain and his crew are unwittingly caught up in a sinister plot to discredit the communists. From the gloomy streets of Soho to the leafy boulevards of Paris, The pirates! In an Adventure with Communists is a story of intellectual giants, enormous beards, volcanoes and valkyries, doubloons and dancing girls, and a quest to discover whether ham really might be the opium of the people

The perfect quirky nostalgic crime read – a tale of steam trains, giant squid, missing screenplays, missing mothers and a quest for the truth, from the inimitable Malcolm Pryce • It's the winter of 1948. The four great railway companies have just been nationalised and Jack Wenlock – the last of a fabled cadre of railway detectives – is thrown out onto the street • Penniless, with new bride Jenny to support, and hiding from a murderous organisation called Room 42, Jack's prospects look bleak • But then a letter arrives from a mysterious Cornish Countess revealing that Jack's mother – long believed to be dead – may have survived a shipwreck off the coast of Java. Seizing the opportunity to track down his only remaining family member, Jack and Jenny board a boat heading East

Every day, Zoe struggles to keep going. The cruel winter took her father's life and left her angry and broken hearted. As she carries her little brother through a snowstorm that could kill him in minutes, her only thought is finding shelter. The cabin beyond the woods is far from the place of safety she hoped it would be, but it is there that she meets a man whose muscular body, marked with strange and primitive tattoos, hints at an extraordinary story. He has the power to light up the lake, and with it, Zoe's world • Zoe calls the stranger X. He is a bounty hunter, tormented by the evils of his victims, which course through his veins. X has never known anything but hate, until he meets Zoe. She shows him what a heart is really for and, if they can find a way to be together, just maybe, his pain can help Zoe forget her own

It is December in Belfast, Christmas is approaching and three sets of people are about to make their way to Amsterdam • Alan, a university art teacher, goes on a pilgrimage to the city of his youth with troubled teenage son Jack; middle-aged couple Marion and Richard take a break from running their garden centre to celebrate Marion's birthday; and Karen, a single mother struggling to make ends meet, joins her daughter's hen party • As these people brush against each other in the squares, museums and parks of Amsterdam, their lives are transfigured as they encounter the complexities of love in a city that challenges what has gone before

One knock at the door could be the death of them all… • It is 1943, and sixteen-year-old Stefania Podgorska has been working for the Diamant family in their grocery store in Przemsyl, Poland, for four years. She has even made a promise to one of their sons, Izio - an engagement they must keep secret since she is Catholic and the Diamants are Jewish • But everything changes when the German army invades Przemsyl. The Diamants are forced into the ghetto, and Stefania is alone in an occupied city, the only one left to care for her six-year-old sister. And then comes the knock at the door. Max Diamant has jumped from the train headed to a death camp. Stefania and Helena make the extraordinary decision to hide Max, and eventually twelve more Jews. Then they must wait, every day, for the next knock at the door, the one that could destroy everything

Один стук в дверь, и Стефании предстоит сделать выбор • На дворе 1943 год, и вот уже четыре года шестнадцатилетняя Стефания работает на семью Диамант в их продуктовом магазине в Перемышле, Польша, прокладывая своим пением путь в их жизни и сердца. Она даже дала обещание одному из их сыновей, Изио - помолвку, которую они должны держать в секрете, поскольку она католичка, а Диаманты евреи • "Свет в тайнике" Кэмерон Шэрон - это замечательная повесть о мужестве и человечности, основанная на реальных событиях • Книга на английском языке • One knock at the door, and Stefania has a choice to make • It is 1943, and for four years, sixteen-year-old Stefania has been working for the Diamant family in their grocery store in Przemysl, Poland, singing her way into their lives and hearts
