In his international bestseller The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winner Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. Now he applies the same relentless curiosity and masterful analysis to the question: how can each of us achieve more? Drawing on the very latest findings in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics, he demonstrates the eight simple principles that govern productivity. He demonstrates how the most dynamic and effective people – from CEOs to film-makers to software entrepreneurs – deploy them. And he shows how you can, too.

An astonishingly wide-ranging history of Russian nationalism from a pre-eminent scholar of Eastern Europe. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine. While the world watched in outrage, this violation of national sovereignty was in fact only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. In Lost Kingdom,award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only understand the merging of imperialism and nationalism in Russia today by delving into its history. Spanning over two thousand years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin have exploited existing forms of identity, warfare and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy. A strikingly ambitious book, Lost Kingdom chronicles the long and belligerent history of Russia's empire and nation-building quest.

Nicholas's dad has had an idea – always a cue for disaster! This time he's planning to take the whole family camping. Sounds great, but Tomato is taking her pet carrot (don't ask) and Cheese is smuggling his pet hen into the camping van, while Granny and Lancelot are planning on bringing the goat... How much chaos can one family cause! The sixth story in this very popular series is every bit as silly and delightful as all the rest, while Rowan Clifford's black-and-white illustrations add to the fun.

“The Age of Innocence” is the best-known novel by the American writer Edith Wharton (1862—1937) for which she got the Pulitzer Prize. The action of the novel unfolds in the 70s of the 19th century and, by the author’s confession, it was her escape into the memories of childhood about America which had disappeared long ago, the attempt to reconcile that old world with the new one which arose after the First World War. The writer touchingly and at the same time ironically narrates the story of love of Newland Archer, a respectable young lawyer, and Countess Olenska, an extravagant cousin of his bride. Her heroes suffer badly, strive for happiness, but will they have enough moral powers to assert their feelings?

The suggested collection of short stories consists of selected works of a famous 19th century writer Elizabeth Gaskell (1810—1865). The stories represent the genre of gothic fiction. The author artfully pictures the atmosphere of horror and mystery that is common for gothic tradition. At the same time the writer delicately and free of pedantry weaves into her stories Victorian moral values and demonstrates refined sense of humor. Mystic events are naturally intertwined with real ones thus making Elizabeth Gaskell's literary works particularly attractive.

An international bestseller and a truly unforgettable and life-changing story. The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about. If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. We hope you never have to cross such a fence.
