Описание: The bestselling and critically acclaimed debut novel by Lisa Halliday, Asymmetry, hailed as "extraordinary" by The New York Times, "a brilliant and complex examination of power dynamics in love and war" by The Wall Street Journal, and "a literary phenomenon" by The New Yorker.

Told in three distinct and uniquely compelling sections, Asymmetry explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice. The first section, "Folly," tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War, "Folly" also suggests an aspiring novelist's coming-of-age. By contrast, "Madness" is narrated by Amar, an Iraqi-American man who, on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan, is detained by immigration officers and spends the last weekend of 2008 in a holding room in Heathrow. These two seemingly disparate stories gain resonance as their perspectives interact and overlap, with yet new implications for their relationship revealed in an unexpected coda.

A stunning debut from a rising literary star, Asymmetry is "a transgressive roman a clef, a novel of ideas, and a politically engaged work of metafiction" (The New York Times Book Review), and a "masterpiece" in the original sense of the word" (The Atlantic). Lisa Halliday's novel will captivate any reader with while also posing arresting questions about the very nature of fiction itself.

Описание:

Written in a concise, easy-to-understand style, Windows 10 For Seniors is aimed specifically at older readers, many of whom struggle to understand computerised devices and the software that makes them run.

With this in mind, we have restricted technical jargon to the minimum so as to make the book as simple and straightforward to read as possible. Copious use of explanatory screenshots and pictures helps to facilitate this.

You'll learn everything you need to know about the Windows 10 operating system. Elements such as the Desktop, the Start Menu, the Taskbar, and working with files & folders are all covered. We also take a look at how to use Windows with the various hardware devices - printers, scanners, external drives, etc - that make it possible to get things done with computing devices.

Описание: From #1 Amazon, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Gemma Halliday comes an action packed thriller full of suspenseful twists...

She faked her death to escape life in a war torn country. But now her enemies have tracked her down, and this time they want her to stay dead.

Anya Danielovich lives with the guilt of what she had to do to survive when her native country divided against itself. But that was a long time ago. Today she's become Anna Smith, a single, thirtysomething woman living in San Francisco with a simple desire to lead a better life. Even if she is still haunted by her past-the enemies she made, the mentor she betrayed, the woman she was. She's taken care to cover her tracks over the years, but she's beginning to feel like she's being watched...

Nick Dade is a hired gunman, the best of the best. He's read Anya's file, knows the unspeakable acts she committed, and after weeks of surveillance, he's ready to pull the trigger on his latest target. That is until someone else beats him to the punch. With his agenda shattered, Dade is suddenly thrown together with the woman he's been sent to eliminate. Who is she really? Who hired the second hit? And who can he trust?
