Great Discoveries & Amazing Adventures will inform, entertain, and absorb the whole family. Containing stunning illustrations and providing fascinating insights into amazing discoveries and their worldwide impact, it is a fresh take on a wide range of subjects-from the discovery of Machu Picchu, a hidden Inca city in the Andes mountains, to the unearthing of the remains of China's Terra-Cotta Army, long buried since the 200s B.C. The book is divided into four chapters: Nature's marvels (such as the coelacanth, a living fossil from the sea); Earth's riches (such as the diamond mines in Kimberley, South Africa); Lost wonders (such as the ancient cave paintings in Lascaux, France); and Hoaxes and frauds. This final chapter looks at the ways in which people's hunger for discovery can take an unusual twist, for example when experts are deceived by a hoax or when new research sheds surprising light on a familiar object. Great Discoveries & Amazing Adventures is introduced by a foreword from explorer and scientist Dr. Robert Ballard (National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence), and a feature spread is dedicated to some of his discoveries.

Part fairy-tale, part magic, yet always savagely realistic Claire Fuller's haunting and powerful debut Our Endless Numbered Days will appeal to fans of Eowyn Ivey's The Snow Child and Christian Baker Kline's Orphan Train . Peggy Hillcoat is eight years old when her survivalist father, James, takes her from their home in London to a remote hut in the woods and tells her that the rest of the world has been destroyed. Deep in the wilderness, Peggy and James make a life for themselves. They repair the hut, bathe in water from the river, hunt and gather food in the summers and almost starve in the harsh winters. They mark their days only by the sun and the seasons. When Peggy finds a pair of boots in the forest and begins a search for their owner, she unwittingly begins to unravel the series of events that brought her to the woods and, in doing so, discovers the strength she needs to go back to the home and mother she thought she’d lost. After Peggy's return to civilization, her mother learns the truth of her escape, of what happened to James on the last night out in the woods, and of the secret that Peggy has carried with her ever since.

An NPR Best Book of the Year "Unsettling and eerie, Bitter Orange is an ideal chiller." —Time Magazine From the author of Our Endless Numbered Days and Swimming Lessons, Bitter Orange is a seductive psychological portrait, a keyhole into the dangers of longing and how far a woman might go to escape her past. From the attic of Lyntons, a dilapidated English country mansion, Frances Jellico sees them—Cara first: dark and beautiful, then Peter: striking and serious. The couple is spending the summer of 1969 in the rooms below hers while Frances is researching the architecture in the surrounding gardens. But she’s distracted. Beneath a floorboard in her bathroom, she finds a peephole that gives her access to her neighbors' private lives. To Frances’s surprise, Cara and Peter are keen to get to know her. It is the first occasion she has had anybody to call a friend, and before long they are spending every day together: eating lavish dinners, drinking bottle after bottle of wine, and smoking cigarettes until the ash piles up on the crumbling furniture. Frances is dazzled. But as the hot summer rolls lazily on, it becomes clear that not everything is right between Cara and Peter. The stories that Cara tells don’t quite add up, and as Frances becomes increasingly entangled in the lives of the glamorous, hedonistic couple, the boundaries between truth and lies, right and wrong, begin to blur. Amid the decadence, a small crime brings on a bigger one: a crime so terrible that it will brand their lives forever.
