Описание: Four high school seniors put their hopes, hearts, and humanity on the line as an asteroid hurtles toward Earth in Tommy Wallach s "New York Times "bestselling stunning debut ("Kirkus Reviews," starred review).
They always say that high school is the best time of your life.
Peter, the star basketball player at his school, is worried they might actually be right. Meanwhile Eliza can t wait to escape Seattle and her reputation and perfect-on-paper Anita wonders if admission to Princeton is worth the price of abandoning her real dreams. Andy, for his part, doesn t understand all the fuss about college and career the future can wait.
Or can it? Because it turns out the future is hurtling through space with the potential to wipe out life on Earth. As these four seniors along with the rest of the planet wait to see what damage an asteroid will cause, they must abandon all thoughts of the future and decide how they re going to spend what remains of the present."

Описание:

This "richly textured biography" (Chicago Tribune) inspired the mesmerizing documentary, Letters from Baghdad, coming soon to theaters.
Here is the story of Gertrude Bell, who explored, mapped, and excavated the Arab world throughout the early twentieth century. Recruited by British intelligence during World War I, she played a crucial role in obtaining the loyalty of Arab leaders, and her connections and information provided the brains to match T. E. Lawrence's brawn. After the war, she played a major role in creating the modern Middle East and was, at the time, considered the most powerful woman in the British Empire.
In this masterful biography, Janet Wallach shows us the woman behind these achievements-a woman whose passion and defiant independence were at odds with the confined and custom-bound England she left behind. Too long eclipsed by Lawrence, Gertrude Bell emerges at last in her own right as a vital player on the stage of modern history, and as a woman whose life was both a heartbreaking story and a grand adventure.
