In his mesmerising first novel, the internationally celebrated short-story writer Miroslav Penkov spins the intriguing tale of an American student who returns to Bulgaria, the country he left as a child. His mission is to track down his grandfather & to find out why he suddenly cut off all contact with the family three years before. The trail leads him to a remote village on the border with Turkey, a stone`s throw away from Greece, high up in the Strandja Mountains
- a place of pagan mysteries & black storks nesting in giant oaks; a place where every spring, possessed by Christian saints, men & women dance barefoot across live coals in search of rebirth. Here in the mountains, he is drawn by his grandfather into a maze of half-truths. & here, he falls in love with an unobtainable Muslim girl. Old ghosts come back to life & forgotten conflicts blaze anew, until the past finally yields up its plangent secrets.

Just as Freakonomics brought economics to life, so Storm in a Teacup brings physics into our daily lives & makes it fascinating. Our world is full of patterns. If you pour milk into your tea & give it a stir, you`ll see a swirl, a spiral of two fluids, before the two liquids mix completely. The same pattern is found elsewhere too. Look down on the Earth from space, & you`ll find similar swirls in the clouds, made where warm air & cold air waltz. In Storm in a Teacup, Helen Czerski links the little things we see every day with the big world we live in. Each chapter begins with something small
- popcorn, coffee stains & refrigerator magnets
- & uses it to explain some of the most important science & technology of our time. This is physics as the toolbox of science
- a toolbox we need in order to make sense of what is around us & arrive at decisions about the future, from medical advances to solving our future energy needs. It is also physics as the toy box of science: physics as fun, as never before.

` As though walking through a deep dream, I saw steel helmets approaching through the craters. They seemed to sprout from the fire-harrowed soil like some iron harvest`. ” Storm of Steel” is one of the greatest works to emerge from the catastrophe of the First World War. A memoir of astonishing power, savagery & ashen lyricism, it illuminates like no other book the horrors but also the fascination of total war, presenting the conflict through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier. As an account of the terrors of the Western Front & of the sickening allure that made men keep fighting on for four long years, ” Storm of Steel” has no equal. ...
