A New York Times bestseller. A bestselling story of suspense, All Around The Town is a mastreful psychological thriller from the world's most successful writer of suspense novels. When Professor Allan Grant is found stabbed to death, all the evidence points to an obsessed student, 21-year-old Laurie Kenyon.

And after the murder, she wakes up in her dormitory, covered in blood and clutching the knife that killed him, with no memory of the brutal crime. Laurie's sister and attorney, Sarah, is the only one who understands Laurie's daily nightmare and the shocking lingering effects of a childhood kidnapping too hideous to be recalled.

They must ensure that her past remains buried at all costs, even if it means Bic has to carry out the murderous threat he made all those years ago to a terrified girl...

Turning Point is a highly-charged, gripping novel from the world's favourite storyteller about how suddenly life can change for all of us . . . In Danielle Steel's powerful novel, four San Francisco trauma doctors confront their greatest challenge yet. Bill Browning heads the trauma unit at San Francisco's busiest emergency room. With his ex-wife and daughters in London, he immerses himself in his work and lives for the little time he can spend with his children. A rising star at her teaching hospital, Stephanie Lawrence has two young sons, a frustrated stay-at-home husband, and not enough time for any of them. Harvard-educated Wendy Jones is a dedicated trauma doctor, trapped in a dead-end relationship with a married cardiac surgeon. And Tom Wylie's popularity with women rivals the superb medical skills he employs at his medical centre, but he refuses to let anyone get too close, determined to remain unattached forever. These exceptional doctors are chosen to work in Paris on a unique project with their counterparts in a mass-casualty training programme. But after an unspeakable act of violence, their temporary life becomes a stark turning point: a time to make hard choices - with consequences that will last a lifetime.

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s experience begins the night he has chosen to embark on a four-year wandering retreat, slipping past the monastery gates. Alone for the first time in his life, he sets out into the unknown. His initial motivation is to step away from his life of privilege and to explore the deepest, most hidden aspects of his being, but what he discovers throughout his retreat – about himself and about the world around us – comes to define his meditation practice and teaching.
Just three weeks into his retreat, Rinpoche becomes deathly ill and his journey begins in earnest through this near-death experience. Moving, beautiful and suffused with local colour, In Love with the World is the story of two different kinds of death: that of the body and that of the ego, and how we can bridge these two experiences to live a better and more fulfilling life. Rinpoche’s skilful and intimate account of his search for the self is a demonstration of how we can transform our dread of dying into joyful living.

The author of Fight Club takes America beyond our darkest dreams in this timely satire People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They’ve been reading a mysterious blue-black book and memorising its directives. They are ready for the reckoning. In this ingeniously comic work, Chuck Palahniuk’s first novel in four years, he does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians hatch a nasty fate for the burgeoning population of young males; working-class men dream of burying the elites; and professors propound theories that offer students only the bleakest future. When it arrives, Adjustment Day inaugurates a new, disunited states. In this mind-blowing novel, Palahniuk fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche.

Tiffani Bova, the Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, draws on her expertise as a consultant and practitioner to devise a new framework for business leaders looking to pursue growth. We're witnessing an age of endless customization, and growth strategy is no exception. There's no one size fits all strategy; a winning strategy for one business may spell doom for another. In Growth IQ, Bova determines that there are ten simple--but easily misunderstood--growth paths, and explains how companies can get a handle on their particular business context, and use it to determine the right combination and sequence of growth paths to take them into the future. Bova breaks down the strategies deployed by a wide range of companies to show you how: * GE and John Deere have lasted over a century and continue to thrive by combining their strategy of innovative product development with a renewed focus on R&D and customer experience. * Marvel transformed from a struggling comic book publisher to a global entertainment behemoth by realigning their market penetration strategy to focus on comic book characters, instead of just comic books. * Gateway's attempt at market expansion into brick-and-mortar retail led to its failure, while the same move by Apple has accelerated its growth. Whether your company is on a growth spurt, in a worrying stall, or showing signs of decline, Growth IQ is your map to charting the course of your company's future.

This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. 'Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, - stern and wild ones, - and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss'. Fiercely romantic and hugely influential, "The Scarlet Letter" is the tale of Hester Prynne, imprisoned, publicly shamed, and forced to wear a scarlet 'A' for committing adultery and bearing an illegitimate child, Pearl. In their small, Puritan village, Hester and her daughter struggle to survive, but in this searing study of the tension between private and public existence, Hester Prynne's inner strength and quiet dignity means she has frequently been seen as one of the first great heroines of American fiction. "The Penguin English Library" contains 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

УВАГА! ЕКЗЕМПЛЯР З ВІТРИНИ
З самого початку людської історії Марс був привабливою мрією — легендами, богами та таємницями. Планету, найбільш схожу на нашу, досі вважалося неможливим досягти, не кажучи вже про дослідження та заселення. Але все змінилося, коли провідний дослідник космосу Роберт Зубрін розробив нову сміливу схему Mars Direct. Коли вона була вперше опублікована в 1996 році, «Справа про Марс» миттєво стала класикою, яку широко хвалили за її перспективу, що змінила правила гри тими, хто бачив, як американська космічна програма впорається з викликом Марса; Карл Саган назвав Зубріна людиною, яка «майже сама змінила наше мислення з цього приводу». Тепер, через п’ятнадцять років, Зубрін знайомить читачів із новинами в цьому переглянутому й оновленому ювілейному виданні, наповненому вражаючими ілюстраціями, надзвичайними фотографіями та унікальними анекдотами.
На відміну від мертвого світу Місяця, марсіанський ландшафт наповнений можливостями, але люди повинні мати можливість там вижити. Згідно з великою традицією успішних дослідників, Зубрін закликає до підходу до марсіанських поселень, який ведеться на легкій подорожі та живе поза землею. Він пояснює, як вчені можуть використовувати сучасні технології, щоб відправити людей на Марс; виробляти паливо та кисень на поверхні планети за допомогою власних природних ресурсів; будувати бази та поселення; і одного дня тераформувати — або змінити атмосферу планети, щоб прокласти шлях для сталого життя. Коли починається знакова місія Марсіанської наукової лабораторії, Зубрін розробляє комплексний план побудови життя в новому світі.
Since the beginning of human history, Mars has been an alluring dream—the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. But all that changed when leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct. When it was first published in 1996, The Case for Mars became an instant classic, lauded widely for its game-changing perspective by those who would see the American space program rise to the challenge of Mars; Carl Sagan called Zubrin the man who, “nearly alone, changed our thinking on this issue.” Now, fifteen years later, Zubrin brings readers up to date in this revised and updated anniversary edition filled with spectacular illustrations, extraordinary photographs, and one-of-a-kind anecdotes.
Unlike the dead world of the Moon, the Martian landscape is filled with possibility, but humans must be able to survive there. In the grand tradition of successful explorers, Zubrin calls for a travel-light and live-off-the-land approach to Martian settlement. He explains how scientists can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars; produce fuel and oxygen on the planet’s surface with its own natural resources; build bases and settlements; and one day terraform—or alter the atmosphere of the planet in order to pave the way for sustainable life. As the landmark mission of the Mars Science Laboratory begins, Zubrin lays out a comprehensive plan to build life on a new world.

In Invisible Cities Marco Polo conjures up cities of magical times for his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, but gradually it becomes clear that he is actually describing one city: Venice. As Gore Vidal wrote 'Of all tasks, describing the contents of a book is the most difficult and in the case of a marvellous invention like Invisible Cities, perfectly irrelevant.' This title is exclusively available from Vintage Classics 'Of all the Italian post-war novelists, Italo Calvino is the adventurer. He glitters, impersonal, brilliant and lasting' Financial Times 'Whole chapters of unforced poetic prose in which insight and fantasy are perfectly matched-an exquisite world' Observer 'Invisible Cities' is perhaps his most beautiful work-the artist seems to have made peace with the tension between man's ideas of the many and the one' New York Review of Books
