Opis treści / summary:

FINAL THEORY - MARK ALPERT

This fast-paced debut novel, inspired by the work of Albert Einstein, comes from a writer who's spent years studying physics and making its most complex yet fascinating aspects easier to understand. In "Final Theory", Alpert imagines a scenario in which Einstein's elusive 'theory of everything' falls into the wrong hands, unleashing a terrible new force for destruction. Pitting his hero, David Swift, against some very powerful people, he buildshis story to a scintillating climax.

THE VARIOUS FLAVOURS OF COFFEE - ANTHONY CAPELLA

The wonderful, subtle aroma of coffee wafts from the pages of this entrancing novel. It's 1895, and Robert Wallis, poet and dandy, thinks his money worries are over when he's employed by a merchant, Samuel Pinker, to describe the various flavours of coffee, alongside Pinker's spirited daughter. But the young man has much to learn and, while on an expedition to Africa, discovers how to distinguish love from the selfish pursuit of sensual pleasure.

STEVE & ME - TERRI IRWIN

In 2008, fearless crocodile hunter and wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin was much mourned, not only in his native Australia but across the world, when he died in a tragic diving accident. In this new book, his widow, Terri, tells how she and the handsome Australian met and fell in love in fairy-tale style, embarking on a family life enriched by their passion for wildlife. It's a deeply enjoyable biography, packed with warmth and humour.

THE BONE GARDEN - TESS GERRITSEN

Author Tess Gerritsen used to work as a doctor, so it's no surprise that she is able to bring the world of 19th-century medicine to life. Starring the real-life physician, Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes, who worked in Boston in the 19th century, "The Bone Garden" is told in flashback, prompted by the discovery of a woman's skeleton in a Boston garden. Forensic evidence indicates foul play, and her story puts her at the heart of a crime novel steeped in history and atmosphere.
