Agnes Sharp and the trip of a lifetime / by Swann, Leonie,1975-author.; Bojang, Amy,translator.; translation of:Swann, Leonie,1975-Miss Sharp macht Urlaub.English.;
"The year is rapidly drawing to an end, Hettie the tortoise is hibernating and Agnes, Charlie, Marshall, and the other elderly residents of Sunset Hall are going stir-crazy at home. They've had enough of broken heating, draughty bedrooms, and Christmas jingles on the radio. And to top it all off, another series of murders is rocking the hamlet of Duck End. It seems like every villager and his dog is trying to make up for all of the thwarted murders of the past thirty years. Most unpleasant! The residents of Sunset Hall don't want anything to do with the criminal activities. So when Edwina manages to slip onto Marshall's computer in an unobserved moment and promptly wins a stay in an exclusive coastal hotel in Cornwall, the Sunset Hall crew doesn't waste any time in deciding to join her. After all, Edwina can't be let loose unsupervised on a presumably civilized party of hotel guests. But they've barely unpacked their bags when Agnes sees something unsettling from the terrace of the hotel: two figures in hoods walk away from the hotel along the cliffs, but only one returns. Worried she's witnessed a murder, Agnes tells the others. At first nobody really believes her, after all the crew have enough to do working their way through the incredible menu, exploring the hotel's wellness-landscape, navigating old and new love affairs and adopting a boa constrictor. But when a storm causes a piece of the road to collapse into the sea and the hotel is cut off from the outside world, it becomes clear that a murderer really is on the loose -- and they're trapped, just like all of the other guests!"--

Vietnam : an epic tragedy, 1945-75 / by Hastings, Max,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Vietnam became the Western world's most divisive modern conflict, precipitating a battlefield humiliation for France in 1954, then a vastly greater one for the United States in 1975. Max Hastings has spent the past three years interviewing scores of participants on both sides, as well as researching a multitude of American and Vietnamese documents and memoirs, to create an epic narrative of an epic struggle. He portrays the set pieces of Dienbienphu, the 1968 Tet offensive, the air blitz of North Vietnam, and much less familiar battles such as the bloodbath at Daido, where a US Marine battalion was almost wiped out, together with extraordinary recollections of Ho Chi Minh's warriors. Here are the vivid realities of strife amid jungle and paddies that killed two million people. Many writers treat the war as a US tragedy, yet Hastings sees it as overwhelmingly that of the Vietnamese people, of whom forty died for every American. US blunders and atrocities were matched by those committed by their enemies. While all the world has seen the image of a screaming, naked girl seared by napalm, it forgets countless eviscerations, beheadings and murders carried out by the communists. The people of both former Vietnams paid a bitter price in privation and oppression for the Northerners' victory. Here is testimony from Vietcong guerrillas, Southern paratroopers, Saigon bar girls and Hanoi students alongside that of infantrymen from South Dakota, Huey pilots from North Carolina, Marines from Arkansas. No past volume has blended a political and military narrative of the entire conflict with heart-stopping personal experiences, in the fashion that Max Hastings' readers know so well. He marshals testimony from warlords and peasants, statesmen and soldiers, to create an extraordinary record."--Jacket flap.

Sicily '43 : the first assault on fortress Europe / by Holland, James,1970-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 555-571) and index."On July 10, 1943, the largest amphibious invasion ever mounted took place, larger even than the Normandy invasion eleven months later: 160,000 American, British, and Canadian troops came ashore or were parachuted onto Sicily, signaling the start of the campaign to defeat Nazi Germany on European soil. Operation HUSKY, as it was known, was enormously complex, involving dramatic battles on land, in the air, and at sea. Yet, despite its drama and its paramount importance to ultimate Allied victory, very little has been written about the 38-day battle for Sicily. Based on much new research, Sicily '43 offers vital new perspective on a major turning point in World War II. The characters involved-General George Patton and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery among many-were as colorful as the battles across the scorching plains and above the peaks of Sicily were brutal. Among Holland's great skills is incorporating the experience of on-the-ground participants on all sides--from American colonel Jim Gavin, British major Hedley Verity, and Canadian lieutenant Farley Mowat to brigade commander Wilhelm Schmalz, Luftwaffe fighter pilot Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff, and Italian combatants, civilians, and mafiosi alike--giving readers an intimate sense of what occurred in July and August 1943. Emphasizing the significance of Allied air superiority, Holland overturns conventional narratives that have criticized the Sicily campaign for the slowness of the Allied advance and that so many German and Italian soldiers escaped to the mainland; rather, he shows that clearing the island in 38 days against geographical challenges and fierce resistance was an impressive achievement. A powerful and dramatic account by a master military historian, Sicily '43 fills a major gap in the narrative history of World War II"--

All that glitters : a story of friendship, fraud, and fine art / by Whitfield, Orlando,author.;
"A dazzling insider look at the contemporary art world and the meteoric rise and fall of the seductive, charismatic, utterly amoral young, American art dealer, Inigo Philbrick, told through the eyes of his former partner and set in London, New York, Miami and Vanuatu Orlando Whitfield and Inigo Philbrick met in 2006 at Goldsmiths University where, though total opposites, they became best friends. By 2007, they were art dealing together having formed I&O Fine Art and two years later, upon graduation, were looking for a gallery space. While they continued to work together, Inigo was also taking on work for the prestigious London Gallery, White Cube. Orlando would set up his own gallery with a partner and watch as Inigo quickly immersed himself in a world of private jets, lavish trips, and close multimillion-dollar deals for major clients. To those who did not know, Inigo seemed a brilliant art world hotshot. But underneath the extravagant façade, his complicated financial schemes were unraveling. Monthly interest installments of $150k were left unpaid; calls were dodged; letters from auction houses faked. With debt, lawsuits, and court summons piling up, Inigo went into an inescapable tailspin of lies and subterfuge. By 2019, things had spiraled enough out of control for Inigo to flee to the remote island of Vanuatu, 300 miles off Fiji. There, in 2020, he was arrested by US Marshals and flown to Guam where he was arraigned in a military court and eventually moved to Brooklyn where he was denied bail and sentenced to seven years in prison for over $86 million in fraud. This unique, shocking, and page-turning story is compulsively readable as it sweeps you up in both adventure and downfall. A close-up of two very young players in the contemporary art world who would each pay a big price, in very different ways, make it an irresistible cautionary tale"--

Smartphone nation : why we're all addicted to our screens and what you and your family can do about it / by Regehr, Kaitlyn,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The compassionate, practical guide for raising -- and becoming -- healthy and informed digital citizens in the age of the smartphone, social media and AI. A must-read for parents of the smartphone generation. We know the dangers of consuming ultra-processed food. But what about the way algorithms are ultra-processing the information we consume online? How do today's parents, who grew up without digital devices and social media, parent a generation who are awash in it? Digital devices are everywhere in young people's lives -- in their schools and in their homes, with their friends and when they're alone. But parents know there is increasing evidence about both the risks and harms associated with online content. This presents an urgent dilemma: a digital-free life isn't realistic, but how can parents keep the risks to their children at bay? How do they help their kids to manage their online activity (not to mention their own)? Some have argued that the only way forward is to disconnect and opt your kids out. But the discourse around banning phones is backwards looking. It's us as geriatric millennials and Gen X-ers nostalgically reminiscing about our Nokias and their supposed innocence. Whether you like it or not, your kids will need to be on the internet, and their lives and careers will be shaped by AI. And it's the kids that understand the harms of technology and know how to navigate them effectively that will thrive. They will be at the front of the line. Smartphone Nation marshals the evidence and gives parents simple takeaways for implementing healthy digital nutrition for their families. This isn't a digital detox book recommending that we throw away our digital devices. This is a book that understands the realities and pressures that parents face. Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr argues that knowledge is power, and that by understanding your own relationship with the internet, social media and AI, you will develop the tools you need to make choices for you and your family"--
