Ambiciózny chemik v strednom veku založil firmu, ktorá mala vyvinúť nový typ organického alebo aj molekulárneho počítača. Keby sa to podarilo, bol by z neho nový Bill Gates. Kvôli práci sa rozišiel aj so životnou partnerkou. Nechtiac však naďabil na záhadu zmiznutej ženy, ktorá mu nedala spávať pre jeho vlastnú minulosť, a tak sa ju rozhodol vyriešiť. Postupne jej obetoval čoraz viac, až napokon zistil, že to bola finta jedného z kolegov, ako ho pripraviť o patent, ktorý sa práve chystal podať. Jeho konečným cieľom boli peniaze, no aj tak bol ochotný obetovať všetko, dokonca aj vlastný život pre ženu, ktorú nikdy nepoznal.

Pet-trainer, "educatore" degli amici a quattro zampe di vari divi dello spettacolo, Bash Dibra insegna in questo libro a socializzare con il proprio gatto, a vedere il mondo come lo vede lui, a capire il suo linguaggio. Il lettore, promette Dibra, imparerà le "parole" per insegnare al micio a non farsi le unghie sul divano, a non arrampicarsi sulle tende o a non mangiare le piante. Il gatto sarà un animale appagato e sano e della relazione gatto-padrone si potrà dire, come nelle fiabe, che vissero per sempre felici e contenti.

The tenth anniversary edition of the dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest: the search for the solution of how to calculate longitude and the unlikely triumph of an English genius. With a new Foreword by the celebrated astronaut Neil Armstrong. 'Sobel has done the impossible and made horology sexy - no mean feat' New Scientist Anyone alive in the 18th century would have known that 'the longitude problem' was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day - and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives, and the increasing fortunes of nations, hung on a resolution. The quest for a solution had occupied scientists and their patrons for the better part of two centuries when, in 1714, Parliament upped the ante by offering a king's ransom (£20,000) to anyone whose method or device proved successful. Countless quacks weighed in with preposterous suggestions. The scientific establishment throughout Europe - from Galileo to Sir Isaac Newton - had mapped the heavens in both hemispheres in its certain pursuit of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution. Full of heroism and chicanery, brilliance and the absurd, LONGITUDE is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation and clockmaking.

A superb winter/Christmas warming read for the Horse Whisperer market. High in the wastes of northern Canada, a falcon is blown off course by a storm, eventually coming to rest in a sparsely populated region. Her only instinct is to hunt and find a mate; but for the humans who are drawn into her story, she will be a catalyst of spectacular change. A novel of healing, passion, heartbreak and the possiblity of redemption through the unlikeliest of channels, with magical snowy settings, this is commercial fiction at its best.
