Elizabeth
Fully revised and updated. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history, with a reign even longer than Queen Victoria. Her extraordinary life is expertly portrayed by Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, in this magnificent visually led biography.

Rosens broderskap, Ljudbok
Eliot gav dem trygghet. Eliot blev deras enda familj, deras enda fasta punkt i en likgiltig värld. Eliot fann dem på barnhemmet - två föräldralösa, skrämda pojkar som enbart hade varandra att ty sig till. Eliot gjorde dem till bröder och lärde dem att lita bara till två ting i en fientlig värld: varandra och Eliot själv. Eliot med sina rosor, sitt belevade sätt, sin värme och sitt godis. Eliot tog dem från barnhemmet och gjorde dem till elit-soldater, till mästare i närstrid, till toppagenter i ett av världens mest avancerade agentnät. Innan de ens fyllt fjugoett hade Eliot tränat dem till dödsmaskiner. Det tog Saul och Chris femton år att förstå varför. Och den dag de förstod visste de också att Eliot stod i begrepp att offra dem. Skulle de själva överleva var det Eliot som måste dö. David Morell är en av världens mest lästa och kända thrillerförfattare.

Elizabeth Catlett
A richly illustrated rediscovery of Elizabeth Catlett: printmaker, sculptor and tireless advocate for human rights Born in Washington, DC, Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) moved to Mexico in 1946. Still, her artwork always remained attuned to the Black American experience. Her expressive linocuts of sharecroppers, fieldworkers or, more symbolically, 'survivors' depicted the lived realities of Black men and women, while her prints of Harriet Tubman and Phyllis Wheatley constructed a new national history. Catlett's body of work shares both aesthetic and theoretical sensibilities with major regional movements and their figures: women sculptors and printmakers working in Europe, including Barbara Hepworth and K the Kollwitz; Black American artists operating in an overtly political vein including John Woodrow Wilson and Jacob Lawrence; and members of the modernist 'Mexican School,' including her partner, muralist Francisco Mora. In the late 1950s Catlett transitioned from printmaking to
