Med Courtneys krig fortsætter Wilbur Smith den hæsblæsende og dramatiske historie om familien Courtney. Denne gang i en episk fortælling om mod, forræderi og udødelig kærlighed. Gerhard von Meerback kæmper, trods sin modstand mod nazisterne, for sit fædreland og håber på en dag at have mulighed for at hjælpe med at befri Tyskland fra Hitler og hans brutale regime. Men da hans enhed kastes ind i Anden Verdenskrigs blodigste slag, ved han, at hans chance for at overleve bliver mindre dag for dag. I mellemtiden er Saffron Courtney blevet rekrutteret til Churchills britiske spionnetværk. Hun sendes til det besatte Belgien på en farlig mission, men det står snart klart for hende, at hun bliver jaget af en af Tysklands mest ubarmhjertige spioner. Konfronteret med en større ondskab, end de nogensinde kunne forestille sig, må de to elskende tage det sværeste valg af alle: Skal de ofre sig for krigen eller gøre, hvad de kan, for at overleve og håbe, at de en dag vil blive genforenet?

Record Collecting for Girls: Unleashing Your Inner Music Nerd, One Album at a Time

"Record Collecting for Girls is an invitation for all of you stereophiles (who happen to be female), to make your own top-five lists, and then, armed and ready with the book's fun facts, to argue their merits to the ever-present boys' club of music snobs in your life." --Sarahbeth Purcell, author of Love Is the Drug and This Is Not a Love Song You never leave home without your iPod. You're always on the lookout for new bands, and you have strong opinions when it comes to music debates, like Beatles vs. Stones. For years, you've listened to guys talk about all things music, but the female perspective has been missing. Until now. Drawing on her personal life as a music enthusiast, as well as her experience working at MTV and in radio, Courtney E. Smith explores what music can tell women about themselves--and the men in their lives. She takes on a range of topics, from the romantic soundtracks of Romeo and Juliet to the evolution of girl bands. She shares stories from her own life that shed light on the phenomenon of guilty pleasures and the incredible power of an Our Song. Along the way, she evaluates the essential role that music plays as we navigate life's glorious victories and its soul-crushing defeats. Finally, here is a voice that speaks to women--because girls get their hearts broken and make mix tapes about it, too. "Courtney Smith has smarts and sass in spades. Her insights are as hilarious as they are thoughtful, and when you finish reading this book, you'll feel like you just got home from a perfect night out with your best friend. And you'll want to listen to Prince. At full volume." --Megan Jasper, Executive Vice President, Sub Pop Records

The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Politics

Canada officially achieved legislative autonomy in 1931 and has since developed into one of the world's most prosperous democracies. Though its political system is widely commended for its stability and fairness, it is nonetheless extremely complex. Particularly within the past five decades, Canada has undergone a vast social and political revolution, as exhibited by events such as the Quiet Revolution in Quebec, the ratification of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Medical Care Act of 1966 and the official adoption of bilingualism and multiculturalism. As the world moves towards globalization, technology has likewise facilitated communication between previously isolated provinces and territories within Canada. Such developments hold significant implications for the role of Canadian politics, both domestically and internationally. The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Politics provides a comprehensive overview of the transformation that has occurred in Canadian politics since the country acheived autonomy, examining the institutions and processes of Canadian government and politics at the local, provincial and federal levels. It analyzes all aspects of the Canadian political system: the courts, elections, political parties, Parliament, the constitution, fiscal and political federalism, the diffusion of policies between regions, and various aspects of public policy. The Handbook examines recent trends such as the movement towards minority Parliaments and extrapolates potential developments. This handbook represents the work of a distinguished array of contributors, including some of the world's most prominent scholars of political science. This volume renders an objective, authoritative portrait of the Canadian political system: it is indispensable to anyone interested in the topic.
