SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NUCLEAR WAR: A SCENARIO Surprise your target. Kill your enemy. Vanish without trace. From the dawn of the Cold War to the present day, when diplomacy fails and overt military action is not feasible, American Presidents have called on the Special Activities Division - a highly-classified branch of the CIA, and the most effective black-operations force in the world. Originally known as the president's guerrilla warfare corps, these paramilitary teams conduct risky and ruthless assignments that are as shocking and controversial as they are morally complex. With unparalleled access to former CIA operators and top members of its Senior Intelligence Service, ambassadors, and even a past director of the Secret Service, bestselling author of Nuclear War Annie Jacobsen reveals a complex world of individuals working in treacherous environments populated with killers, connivers, and saboteurs. Is the CIA's paramilitary army America's weaponized strength, or a liability? Every operation reported in this book, however unsettling, is legal. Praise for Annie Jacobsen: 'A stomach-clenching, multi-perspective, ticking-clock, geopolitical thriller' Forbes 'Dangerously plausible - and it reads like a thriller' Sunday Times 'These are scenes straight out of Dr Strangelove' Telegraph

The HOTLY ANTICIPATED adult debut novel by the beloved, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING author of the Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart series It starts with a class in an old movie theater. Folklore 517: Local Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor. Most students believe the Professor's stories are just fiction, but Holland St. James has always been convinced that magic is real. When she tracks down a local legend named the Watch Man, who can supposedly tell you when you'll die, the world finally makes sense. Except that the Watch Man tells her she will die at midnight tomorrow unless she finds an ancient object called the Alchemical Heart. With the clock ticking, Holland is pulled deeper into this magical world in the heart of Los Angeles-and into the path of a magnetic stranger. Everything about him feels like a bad idea, but he promises Holland that her sister sent him to protect her. As they chase clues and stories that take them closer to the Alchemical Heart, Holland realizes everyone in this intoxicating new world is lying to her, even this stranger. And if she can't figure out whom to trust, not even the Alchemical Heart will save her.

Ditching the stuffy hang-ups and benighted sexual traditionalism of the past is an unambiguously positive thing. The sexual revolution has liberated us to enjoy a heady mixture of erotic freedom and personal autonomy. Right? Wrong, argues Louise Perry in her provocative new book. Although it would be neither possible nor desirable to turn the clock back to a world of pre-60s sexual mores, she argues that the amoral libertinism and callous disenchantment of liberal feminism and our contemporary hypersexualised culture represent more loss than gain. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn - where anything goes and only consent matters - are a tiny minority of high-status men, not the women forced to accommodate the excesses of male lust. While dispensing sage advice to the generations paying the price for these excesses, she makes a passionate case for a new sexual culture built around dignity, virtue and restraint. This counter-cultural polemic from one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary feminism should be read by all men and women uneasy about the mindless orthodoxies of our ultra-liberal era.

Die Citizen SPACEMASTER AT8396-59L verbindet eine markante, sportlich-technische Optik mit moderner Funktechnologie, hoher Alltagstauglichkeit und dem außergewöhnlichen Tragekomfort von Super Titanium. Das tiefblaue Zifferblatt , das silberfarbene Gehäuse und das harmonisch integrierte Metallarmband verleihen diesem Herrenchronographen einen hochwertigen, zeitgemäßen Charakter. Dank ihrer vielseitigen Funktionen eignet sich die Citizen SPACEMASTER AT8396-59L sowohl für den Beruf und die Freizeit als auch für Reisen in unterschiedliche Zeitzonen. Citizen zählt zu den international bekanntesten japanischen Uhrenherstellern. Die Wurzeln der Marke reichen bis in das Jahr 1918 zurück, als in Japan das Shokosha Watch Research Institute gegründet wurde. Im Jahr 1924 erschien eine Taschenuhr mit dem Namen „Citizen“. Die Bezeichnung sollte zum Ausdruck bringen, dass hochwertige Uhren nicht nur einer kleinen Elite, sondern möglichst vielen Menschen zugänglich sein sollten. 1930 entstand daraus die Citizen Watch Company. Seitdem steht Citizen für technische Innovationen, zuverlässige Präzision und funktionales Design. Zu den bedeutenden Entwicklungen der Marke gehören lichtbetriebene Uhrwerke, moderne Funkuhren und der konsequente Einsatz von Titan. Diese langjährige Erfahrung ist auch in der Citizen SPACEMASTER AT8396-59L deutlich spürbar. Das Gehäuse der Citizen SPACEMASTER AT8396-59L besteht aus Super Titanium. Dieses innovative Material ist besonders leicht, angenehm auf der Haut und zugleich widerstandsfähig. Im Vergleich zu klassischem Edelstahl sorgt das geringere Gewicht für einen ausgezeichneten Tragekomfort, selbst wenn die Uhr den ganzen Tag getragen wird. Die Gehäuse höhe beträgt lediglich 1,042 cm beziehungsweise 10,42 mm. Dadurch wirkt der Chronograph trotz seiner umfangreichen Ausstattung angenehm flach und lässt sich problemlos zu unterschiedlichen Kleidungsstilen kombinieren. Der silberfarbene Gehäuse boden rundet die moderne Gesamtgestaltung stimmig ab. Für eine klare und dauerhaft geschützte Sicht auf das Zifferblatt ist die Citizen SPACEMASTER AT8396-59L mit hochwertigem Saphirglas ausgestattet. Saphirglas zeichnet sich durch seine besonders hohe Kratzfestigkeit aus und bewahrt die attraktive Optik der Uhr auch bei regelmäßigem Gebrauch. Das blaue Zifferblatt bildet einen ausdrucksstarken Kontrast zum silberfarbenen Gehäuse . Die Strichindizes unterstreichen das übersichtliche, technisch inspirierte Design und ermöglichen ein schnelles Erfassen der Uhrzeit. Die analoge Anzeige und die charakteristischen Chronographenelemente verleihen der Uhr eine dynamische und zugleich elegante Ausstrahlung. Im Inneren arbeitet das präzise Citizen Kaliber H804. Der analoge Chronograph bietet eine überzeugende Verbindung aus klassischer Zeigeranzeige und moderner Uhrentechnik. Die Energieversorgung erfolgt über die bewährte Citizen Eco-Drive-Technologie, bei der Licht in Energie umgewandelt und im integrierten Energiespeicher bevorratet wird. Ein regelmäßiger Batteriewechsel ist daher nicht erforderlich. Bei vollständiger Aufladung erreicht das Uhrwerk eine Gangreserve von bis zu 180 Tagen. Der integrierte Energiesparmodus trägt zusätzlich dazu bei, die vorhandene Energie effizient zu nutzen, abhängig vom Betriebszustand ist eine Laufzeit von bis zu zehn Monaten möglich. Selbst ohne erfolgreiches Funkzeitsignal überzeugt das Kaliber mit einer Abweichung von lediglich etwa plus oder minus 15 Sekunden pro Monat. Als Funkuhr empfängt die Citizen SPACEMASTER AT8396-59L Zeitsignale in Europa, Japan, den USA und China. Dadurch kann sie die Uhrzeit in den unterstützten Empfangsregionen automatisch und äußerst präzise einstellen. Gerade auf Reisen ist diese Funktion besonders komfortabel. Ergänzt wird die Funktechnologie durch eine praktische World-Time-Funktion mit Ortszeiten für 26 Städte. Unterschiedliche internationale Zeitzonen lassen sich damit komfortabel berücksichtigen, ohne dass die Uhr umständlich neu eingestellt werden muss. Ob G

Dave Holland, Steve Coleman, Julian Priester, Marvin Smith und Kenny Wheeler spielen »Uhren«, »Homecoming«, »Perspicuity«, »Celebration«, »World Protection Blues«, »Gridlock (Opus 8)«, »Walk-A-Way«, »The Good Doctor«, »Double Vision«. Dave Holland ist nicht nur ein großartiger Kontrabassist, sondern auch ein kluger Bandleader, der in seinen Gruppen Musiker mit unterschiedlicher Herkunft und Erfahrung einsetzt und ihre kollektiven Kenntnisse und Energien nutzt. Holland erkannte schon früh die Originalität von Steve Colemans Fähigkeiten als Solist und Komponist und stellte ihn in seinem Quintett neben Größen wie Kenny Wheeler und Julian Priester, die ebenfalls Material einbrachten - wie auch der Bandleader, dessen Stück »Homecoming« zu den Highlights gehört. Gemeinsam könnte dieses Team die ganze Geschichte des modernen Jazz abdecken. 2019 feiert ECM 50 Jahre kontinuierlicher unabhängiger Musikproduktion, ein Jubiläum, das Anlass gibt zu einem Blick auf den bisherigen Weg. Die Reihe Touchstones hebt mit ihren Wiederveröffentlichungen Alben hervor, die in dieser langen Zeit entstanden sind. Sie enthält viele Aufnahmen, die inzwischen als Meilensteine in der Geschichte des Jazz und der Improvisation gelten.

"Art . . . London . . . Seventies Glam . . . Yesss, please. The English Masterpiece by Katherine Reay has ALL the goodies--especially for historical fiction lovers and art aficionados . . . Buckle your seatbelt as all hell breaks loose." --Lisa Barr, New York Times bestselling author of The Goddess of Warsaw Set in the art world of 1970s London, The English Masterpiece is a fast-paced read to the end, full of glamour and secrets, tensions and lies, as one young woman races against the clock to uncover the truth about a Picasso masterpiece. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Ariel Lawhon. As the recently promoted assistant to the Tate's Modern Collections keeper Diana Gilden, Lily helps plan a world-class Picasso exhibit to honor the passing of the great artist--and she's waited her whole life for this moment. The opening is beyond anyone's expectations--the lighting, the champagne, the glittering crowd, and the international acclaim--until Lily does the unthinkable. She stops in front of a masterpiece and hears her own voice say, "It's a forgery." The gallery falls silent. Lily's boss, Diana, is polished perfection, schooled in art, and descends from European high society. She's worked hard to become the trusted voice in London's modern art scene and respected across the Continent. The Tate's Picasso Commemorative is to be her crowning achievement, featuring not only the artist's most iconic and intimate works, but a newly discovered painting--one she advised an investor to purchase. But when Lily makes her outrageous declaration, suspicion and scandal threaten everything Diana has achieved, as museums and collectors across Europe, already doubting most post-war acquisitions, fall into chaos and rumors of a world-wide forgery run wild. All Lily has ever wanted is to follow in Diana's footsteps and take the art world by storm in her own right. Yet one comment puts not only her own career at risk but also her mentor's. Unless . . . Was she right? With the clock ticking and the clues starting to pile up against her, Lily must uncover the truth behind the Picasso before she loses not only the career she's always wanted, but her freedom. Block off your calendar and lose yourself in The English Masterpiece, a thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end from the author who brought you The London House and The Berlin Letters.

An old man lies dying. Confined to bed in his living room, he sees the walls around him begin to collapse, the windows come loose from their sashes, and the ceiling plaster fall off in great chunks, showering him with a lifetime of debris: newspaper clippings, old photographs, wool jackets, rusty tools, and the mangled brass works of antique clocks. Soon, the clouds from the sky above plummet down on top of him, followed by the stars, till the black night covers him like a shroud. He is hallucinating, in death throes from cancer and kidney failure. A methodical repairer of clocks, he is now finally released from the usual constraints of time and memory to rejoin his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler, whom he had lost seven decades before. In his return to the wonder and pain of his impoverished childhood in the backwoods of Maine, he recovers a natural world that is at once indifferent to man and inseparable from him, menacing and awe inspiring. Heartbreaking and life affirming, TINKERS is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.

“Orrery” appeals to almost anyone interested in popular astronomy, astronomical mechanical devices, scientific instruments, the history of clocks - and even the history of aristocratic and prestigious families! Many people these days – not only astronomers – have a good idea of the main components of the Solar System. They might also know about the orrery, a mechanical model that shows the movements of the Moon and planets. But not too many know why it was so named and who it was named after. The Boyle family – the Earls of Orrery –include the famous Boyle of Boyle’s Law. But others were key in the history of the orrery, not the least being clockmakers. Aware of the lunar and planetary content of the sky, they strove to make scientific instruments to demonstrate their movements and introduced measuring devices to predict their positions. In antiquity, their lives on occasion depended on the accuracy; upsetting kings and lords was dangerous business! Orreries are found everywhere. They can be made of wood or metal, and are even available today as home-assembly kits and children’s toys. They appear in paintings, on computers, on the side of royal clocks, in stately home hallways, and of course, in museums all over the world. This book contains illustrations of orreries to give a guide as to what is and was available and where to see the best examples. It also contains information and references to help readers who want to make (or buy) their own orrery. The story of the Boyles is not just relevant to a tiny corner of Ireland, but spans the world. “Orrery” highlights the process of discovery and humankind’s universal fascination with the heavens. Provides a fascinating example of the relationship between innovative thinking (invention) and precision engineering (execution).

A heart-wrenching standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, We Burned So Bright follows an older queer couple on an end-of-the-world road-trip. The road stretched out before them. No other cars, just the headlights on the blacktop. Above, the cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky.... Husbands Don and Rodney have lived a good long life. Together they've experienced the highest highs of love and family, and lows so low that they felt like the end of the world. Now, the world is ending for real. A wandering black hole is coming for Earth and in a month everything and everyone they've ever known will be gone. Suddenly, after 40 years together, Don and Rodney are out of time. They're in a race against the clock to make it from Maine to Washington State to take care of some unfinished business before it's all over. On the road they meet those who refuse to believe death is coming and those who rush to meet it. But there are also people living their final days as best they know how-impromptu weddings, bright burning bonfires, shared meals, and new friends. And as the black hole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough. Is it enough to burn bright if nothing comes from the ashes?
