Bret Witter Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Tom Locke pracuje ako elitný žoldnier pre Apollo Outcomes, úspešnú vojenskú firmu. Po návrate z misie v Líbyi mu pridelia prísne tajnú nelegálnu operáciu na Ukrajine. Má len sedem dní, aby zachránil rodinu známeho ukrajinského oligarchu a realizoval veľkolepú útočnú akciu. Locke však netuší, že jeho ctižiadostivý a záhadný šéf Brad Winters sa zaplietol do vysokej geopolitickej hry s vplyvnými kapitálovými investormi po celom svete. Jediným chybným krokom riskujú všetko. A toho chybného kroku sa už možno dopustila Lockova stará láska, vojnová korešpondentka Alie MacFarlanová, ktorá impulzívnym konaním ohrozí ich život. Locke tak musí vynaložiť všetky sily, aby predišiel zrade, ktorá by mohla vyústiť do katastrofy... a nakloniť misky mocenských váh na stranu Putinovho Ruska.

Jeff Bauman woke up on Tuesday, April 16th 2013 and he had no legs. Just thirty hours prior, Jeff was surrounded by revelry at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. The first bomb went off at his feet as he awaited his girlfriend's finish. When Jeff awoke days later from hours of surgery, rather than take stock of his now completely altered life, Jeff ripped out his breathing tube and tried to speak. He couldn't. Jeff asked for a pad and paper and he wrote down seven words, "Saw the guy. Looked right at me," setting off one of the biggest manhunts in the country's history and beginning his own brave road to recovery. In his memoir, Jeff will inspire millions by writing about his experiences that early spring day and his ongoing mission to walk again. Jeff will show the terrorists that they accomplished nothing with their act of cowardice and prove to the entire world what Boston Strong really means.

A moving and inspirational memoir by celebrated journalist Susan Spencer-Wendel who makes the most of her final days after discovering she has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Mit dieser überwältigenden Reaktion auf „Dewey und ich“ hatte Vicki Myron nicht gerechnet: Tausende Fanbriefe erreichten die Bibliothekarin, und sie alle hatten eine eigene Geschichte zu erzählen. Die Schönsten hat sie zusammengetragen, und so kommen neben dem Kater Dewey auch dessen Freunde zu Wort. Neun bezaubernde Geschichten, die davon erzählen, wie die Vierbeiner unser Leben bereichern. Von einer geschiedenen Mutter, die im kalten Alaska am Weihnachtsabend ein ertrinkendes Junges rettet, bis zu einem traumatisierten Vietnam-Veteran, dessen Herz sich durch die Liebe einer Katze öffnet.

On les appelait les « Monuments men » ; ils venaient de treize pays différents et dans la vie civile ils étaient architectes, conservateurs, historiens de l'art... Leur mission : accompagner les armées de la libération pour protéger le patrimoine architectural européen et récupérer les milliers d'œuvres d'art saisies par les Nazis. Robert Edsel a suivi particulièrement les aventures de neuf hommes et une femme de ce commando d’experts. Des plages du D-Day au Nid d'aigle de Berchtesgaden, des mines de Merkers à celles de Altaussee, il nous fait participer à la plus extraordinaire et dangereuse chasse au trésor du XXe siècle.

The story of Dewey the celebrated library cat is now available for the youngest of readers in this new, fully-illustrated picture book adventure.When Librarian Vicki Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey loves his new home, but once he discovers the littlest library visitors-who like to chase him, pull his tail, and squeeze him extra tight-Dewey begins to wonder if he's truly cut out for the demands of his new job. In the end, he is triumphant as he realizes that helping people big and small is what he is meant to do, and that by sharing his special brand of Dewey love, he can be the best library cat of all.

V. Myron, bibliothécaire de la ville de Spencer, dans l'Iowa, trouve un jour, dans une caisse de livres au fond de la bibliothèque, un chaton abandonné. Après l'avoir réchauffé et nourri, Vicki et ses collègues décident d'en faire la mascotte des lieux. Appelé Dewey en référence au système de classification décimale utilisé dans les bibliothèques, le petit chat devient une personnalité en ville.
