    The outbreak began in New York. Within days it spread throughout the world. No one is safe from the undead. As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalized, and martial law, curfews and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the United Kingdom were to be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast and the Scottish Highlands and in the Irish Republic. For George Tull and the other residents of the Waverly-Price Retirement Home, walking to the coast is not an option. Abandoned by the staff, they wait for rescue. It doesn't come. When George leaves the illusory security of the home and ventures into the nearby village, he finds it deserted. But he is not alone; his unhappy retirement is broken by the undead. George is left with a terrible choice: stay and fight to save the people he loathes or leave and abandon the woman he has come to love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Bruce.

    In this dazzling debut, Amanda Boyden delivers a compulsively readable novel of girlhood friendship. Set in 1978 Kansas City and then swirling through California in the early 80s, the story of Lisa and Celeste tells of two girls who are more than just inseparable - they can barely tell where one ends and the other begins. Celeste's life seems just about perfect: she's beautiful, has a gigantic house, two older sisters to coach her through middle school, and loving parents - the stern but secretly soft Mrs. Diamond and the lively, bombastic Mr. Diamond. As Lisa's own house has long been a place devoid of joyful noise - her mother has been shut in her bedroom wearing her nightgown for years - Lisa joins the Diamond household, slipping into their routine of Sunday night dinners, wearing Celeste's clothing, and soaking in the normalcy of the Diamond life. What starts off as a sweet coming-of-age story - mastering jazz dance high kicks, the perfect baby oil basting for a suntan, and the fine art of making filet mignon for Celeste's larger-than-life father - soon swirls into an intoxicating novel of art, experimentation, music, and self-destructive impulses. As the girls outgrow their suburban life, chafing at their curfews, discovering sex, beer, and pot, they fall deeper and deeper in love with a new wild freedom. They dare each other onwards, adventuring into the realm of concerts, cocaine, and the San Francisco punk scene. This is the story of their shared fall from grace. Gorgeous, sexy, and exuberant, in this completely addictive debut, Amanda Boyden brings us into the world of a friendship so tightly knit that where one girl leads, the other can't help but follow. ungekürzt.

    In Raising Human Beings, the renowned child psychologist and New York Times best-selling author of Lost at School and The Explosive Child explains how to cultivate a better parent-child relationship while also nurturing empathy, honesty, resilience, and independence. Parents have an important task: figure out who their child is - his or her skills, preferences, beliefs, values, personality traits, goals, and direction - get comfortable with it, and then help him or her pursue and live a life that is congruent with it. But parents also want to have influence. They want their kid to be independent, but not if he or she is going to make bad choices. They don't want to be harsh and rigid, but nor do they want a noncompliant, disrespectful kid. They want to avoid being too pushy and overbearing, but not if an unmotivated, apathetic kid is what they have to show for it. They want to have a good relationship with their kids, but not if that means being a pushover. They don't want to scream, but they do want to be heard. Good parenting is about striking the balance between a child's characteristics and a parent's desire to have influence. Now Dr. Ross Greene offers a detailed and practical guide for raising kids in a way that enhances relationships, improves communication, and helps kids learn how to resolve disagreements without conflict. Through his well-known model of solving problems collaboratively, parents can forgo time-out and sticker charts; stop badgering, berating, threatening, and punishing; allow their kids to feel heard and validated; and have influence. From homework to hygiene, curfews to screen time, Raising Human Beings arms parents with the tools they need to raise kids in ways that are nonpunitive and nonadversarial and that brings out the best in both parent and child. ungekürzt.

    The stunning story of a young woman, an international crisis, and the triumph of the human spirit. Adrift in a frigid sea, no land in sight - just debris from the ship's wreckage and floating corpses all around - 19-year-old Doaa Al Zamel floats with a small inflatable water ring around her waist and clutches two children, barely toddlers, to her body. The children had been thrust into Doaa's arms by their drowning relatives, all refugees who boarded a dangerously overcrowded ship bound for Sweden and a new life. For days Doaa floats, prays, and sings to the babies in her arms. She must stay alive for these children. She must not lose hope. Doaa Al Zamel was once an average Syrian girl growing up in a crowded house in a bustling city near the Jordanian border. But in 2011 her life was upended. Inspired by the events of the Arab Spring, Syrians began to stand up against their own oppressive regime. When the army was sent to take control of Doaa's hometown, strict curfews, power outages, water shortages, air raids, and violence disrupted everyday life. After Doaa's father's barbershop was destroyed and rumors of women being abducted spread through the community, her family decided to leave Syria for Egypt, where they hoped to stay in peace until they could return home. Only months after their arrival, the Egyptian government was overthrown, and the environment turned hostile for refugees. In the midst of this chaos, Doaa fell in love with a young opposition fighter who proposed marriage and convinced her to flee to the promise of safety and a better future in Europe. Terrified and unable to swim, Doaa and her young fiancé handed their life savings to smugglers and boarded a dilapidated fishing vessel with 500 other refugees, including 100 children. After four horrifying days at sea, another ship, filled with angry men shouting insults, rammed into Doaa's boat, sinking it and leaving the passengers to drown. That is where Doaa's strug ungekürzt.
