"THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Daily Mirror best fiction pick of 2019 A Daily Express best book of 2019 'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away ? until it all came crashing down... There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom. There was Camila, the frontman?s wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode ? and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy. There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn?t ready for her. And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames. It?s never just about the musi. ?Brace for 2019?s first pop-culture sensation . . . we?re not exaggerating . . . new obsession, incoming? TELEGRAPH ?Utterly believable . . . fantastically enjoyable? THE TIMES 'Pitch perfect' SUNDAY TIMES ?Reads like an addictive Netflix documentary meets A Star Is Born ? despite being utterly fictional. It?s also a call-to-arms that when you find your niche, don?t doubt, embrace it.? EMERALD STREET 'The verdict: Daisy Jones steals the limelight? A zeitgeist book for 2019' STYLIST 'Well observed, sensitively told . . . a great read.' WILL GOMPERTZ, BBC ?A tremendously engaging, and completely believable tale of rock and roll excess... inventive, persuasive and completely satisfying.? DYLAN JONES ?I spent a lost weekend in this book. Daisy Jones is an instant icon.? ERIN KELLY 'DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel ? at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era. You?ll never want it to end.' CECILIA AHERN ?Once in a blue moon you get to discover a book you end up pressing upon many other people to read. Taylor Jenkins Reid has got every nuance, every detail exact and right. I loved every word.? PAUL REES ?So brilliantly written I thought all the characters were real . . . I couldn?t put it down? EDITH BOWMAN ?Explosive . . . a gorgeous novel and a ravishing read.? CHARLOTTE HEATHCOTE, SUNDAY EXPRESS ?Sex, drugs and rock ?n? roll? You bet, but it?s Daisy?s refusal to become a mere muse that powers this buzzy music-industry romance.? HEPHZIBAH ANDERSON, MAIL ON SUNDAY ?The characters leap off the page, seducing you with their dramas, and making you wish the band was real.? HEAT ?The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it.? ALI LAND, author of Good Me Bad Me"

To nie jest kolejny poradnik w stylu „Przyspieszony kurs wychowania dzieci”. Ta książka nie jest przeznaczona dla rodziców, którzy pragną za wszelką cenę „zapanować” nad swoimi niesfornymi latoroślami. To książka dla rodziców, którzy chcą naprawdę zrozumieć swoje dzieci, poznać ich troski, nauczyć się z nimi rozmawiać, a także przekazać im prawdę o Chrystusie. Młodzież w dzisiejszych czasach często ma zniekształcone poglądy na temat Boga, chrześcijaństwa i Pisma Świętego, co niestety znajduje odbicie w ich postępowaniu. Biblia jest postrzegana przez współczesne młode pokolenie jako zbiór nakazów i zakazów moralnych. Młodzi ludzie nie widzą prawdziwego przesłania Pisma Świętego. Autorzy w Słowie, które łączy pokazują sposób, jak dotrzeć do serca zbuntowanego nastolatka i udzielają rodzicom praktycznych rad, jak kierować młodych ludzi ku Bogu, tak by mogli dostrzec Jego bezwarunkową miłość i pragnienie nawiązania z nimi bliskich relacji. To obowiązkowa lektura dla rodziców, którym zależy na znalezieniu wspólnego języka ze swoimi dziećmi.
Joasia ma wszystko, o czym marzy typowa nastolatka. Jest ładna, popularna i lubiana. Ma kochającą rodzinę i wiernych przyjaciół. Do pełni szczęścia brakuje jej tylko jednego ? chłopaka. Wybrankiem jej serca jest nikt inny, jak sam Marek ? najprzystojniejszy i najfajniejszy chłopak w całej szkole. Joasia ma ostatni rok, żeby zdobyć jego serce i pójść z nim na studniówkę. Wydaje się, że na drodze stoją jedynie jej nadopiekuńcza mama oraz wkurzający sąsiad. Czy faktycznie tak jest? A może to właśnie sama Joasia jest przeszkodą na drodze do swojego szczęścia?

W kwestii uwarunkowań orientacji seksualnej czy też różnych aspektów funkcjonowania osób z grup mniejszościowych zgromadzono dotychczas dużo danych naukowych. To właśnie one, a nie mityczny spisek lobby LGBTQ+, były podstawą do depatologizacji i demedykalizacji orientacji nieheteronormatywnych w latach siedemdziesiątych ubiegłego stulecia. To właśnie one pokazały orientację seksualną jako jedną z podstawowych składowych zróżnicowania człowieka – ze wstępu. „Książka stanowi wartościowy wkład do literatury naukowej poświęconej orientacji seksualnej i funkcjonowaniu osób nieheteronormatywnych. Jest obszernym i usystematyzowanym źródłem wiedzy dla naukowców prowadzących badania w obszarze seksualności człowieka, jak również klinicystów, którzy niosą pomoc terapeutyczną osobom doświadczającym trudności w związku z ich tożsamością i orientacją seksualną. Książka może być zatem adresowana nie tylko do lekarzy, psychologów i psychoterapeutów, lecz także do studentów kierunków biomedycznych i humanistycznych” – prof. CMKP dr hab. med. Michał Lew-Starowicz. „Zaletą książki jest bardzo rzetelna analiza teoretyczna, oparta na znajomości literatury przedmiotu, obficie i trafnie cytowanej. Przy czym analiza ta wynika z głębszej refleksji i długotrwałej pracy nad obszarem związanym z orientacją seksualną, a nie przypadkowego zestawienia posiadanych informacji” – prof. dr hab. Maria Beisert. W tomie publikują: Dominik Adamek, Michał Brol, Dominika Bulska, Małgorzata Chrupała-Pniak, Wojciech Łukasz Dragan, Monika Folkierska-Żukowska, Katarzyna Grunt-Mejer, Grzegorz Iniewicz, Joanna Mizielińska, Anna Niebudek, Karolina Ogarek-Szulc, Agata Stasińska, Mikołaj Winiewski, Ewa Wojtyna.

Otrzymaliśmy bardzo potrzebną monografię o Rohingya ? jednej z najbardziej prześladowanych i umęczonych społeczności na świecie, milionie ludzi bez domów i ziemi, których żaden kraj nie chce przyjąć. Jest to równocześnie uniwersalna opowieść o dwóch ?izmach? ? kolonializmie i nacjonalizmie ? które doprowadziły do obecnej tragedii. Powstawanie granic i narodziny narodów są niezwykle fascynujące, ale bywają też bolesne, pełne nienawiści i przemocy. I świadomość tego jest nam dziś bardzo potrzebna. Nie tylko w Azji. Agnieszka Lichnerowicz W 2017 roku armia birmańska doprowadziła do ucieczki z Birmy ponad 700 tys. muzułmanów Rohingya. W jednej z największych katastrof humanitarnych ostatnich lat doszło do czystki etnicznej, zbrodni przeciw ludzkości, a może nawet do ludobójstwa. Kim są Rohingya, dlaczego wzbudzają taką nienawiść i czemu stali się kolektywnym kozłem ofiarnym? W prezentowanej książce znajdziemy odpowiedzi ? pozornie proste, a w istocie niesamowicie złożone ? na te i wiele innych zasadniczych pytań związanych z Rohingya. Członkowie tej społeczności są muzułmanami i są prześladowani ? to właściwie jedyne dwa fakty niepodlegające dyskusji. Reszta jest przedmiotem zażartych sporów, a ich wynik decyduje o losie ponadmilionowej wspólnoty. Książkę wzbogacają poruszające zdjęcia autorstwa Marcina Zaborowskiego. Ukazują one ludzki wymiar tragedii Rohingya i są ważnym świadectwem dopełniającym chłodną analizę naukową przedstawioną w wywodzie pracy. Dr Michał Lubina ? adiunkt w Instytucie Bliskiego i Dalekiego Wschodu na Wydziale Studiów Międzynarodowych i Politycznych Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Autor kilku książek dotyczących Birmy, w tym m.in. Birma (Warszawa 2014), Pani Birmy Aung San Suu Kyi. Biografia polityczna (Warszawa 2015), a także The Moral Democracy.

Założona u progu XIV wieku Warszawa długo pozostawała miastem dość typowym: niedużym ośrodkiem produkcyjnym i jednym z licznych punktów na trasie wielkiego handlu. W XVI wieku stopniowo jej rola zaczyna się zmieniać. Przeobrażeniom tym towarzyszą przemiany społeczne i przestrzenne: powiększa się terytorium miasta, kształtują się funkcje poszczególnych obszarów i ich nazwy, do ośrodka napływają imigranci z bliższych i dalszych stron, którzy szukają tu dla siebie docelowego miejsca. Właśnie analizie i rekonstrukcji tych procesów została poświęcona ta książka. ****** Space and Citizens of Old Warsaw between the End of 15th Century and 1569 The work is a comprehensive study of the social topography of Old Warsaw at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Early Modern Period. The times are characterised by fast social and spatial changes: the area of the city expands, the functions and the names of particular city regions are formed, immigrants from all directions seek here their place to settle down

"An insightful, tender and inspiring memoir that explores the emotional side of a doctor?s working life. ?Brilliant, compelling? A hugely life-affirming book? Mail on Sunday Grief. Anger. Joy. Fear. Distraction. Disgust. Hope. All emotions we expect to encounter over our lifetime. But what if this was every day? And what if your ability to manage them was the difference between life and death? For Aoife Abbey, a doctor in intensive care, these experiences are part of the job ? from grief when you make a potentially fatal mistake to joy when the ward unexpectedly breaks into song. Seven Signs of Life is Abbey?s extraordinary account of what it means to be alive and how it feels to care for a living. ?Sensitive, honest and, yes, brave? Compulsive reading? Nigella Lawson ?Heartfelt, honest, illuminating and wise? Julia Samuel, author of Grief Works "
In the Swedish criminal justice system, certain cases are considered especially strange and difficult, in Malmö, the dedicated detectives who investigate these crimes are members of an elite squad known as the Sensitive Crimes Division. These are their stories. The first case: the small matter of a man stabbed in the back of the knee. Who would perpetrate such a crime and why? Next: a young woman?s imaginary boyfriend goes missing. But how on earth do you search for someone who doesn?t exist? And in the final investigation: eerie secrets that are revealed under a full moon may not seem so supernatural in the light of day. No case is too unusual, too complicated, or too, well insignificant for this squad to solve. The team: Ulf ?the Wolf? Varg, the top dog, thoughtful and diligent; Anna Bengsdotter, who?s in love with Varg?s car (and possibly Varg too); Carl Holgersson, who likes nothing more than filling out paperwork; and Erik Nykvist, who is deeply committed to fly fishing. With the help of a rather verbose local police officer, this crack team gets to the bottom of cases other detectives can?t or won?t bother to handle. Equal parts hilarious and heartening, The Department of Sensitive Crimes is a tour de farce from a true master.
Biblia jest wyjątkowa pod względem swej zdolności wytrzymywania krytyki. Żadne inne dzieło literackie nie może się z nią pod tym względem równać. Dla osoby uczciwie poszukującej prawdy z pewnością będzie miało znaczenie, w jaki sposób testy bibliograficzne, testy dowodów wewnętrznych i zewnętrznych oraz badania archeologiczne potwierdzają historyczną wiarygodność tej niezwykłej księgi. Archeologia na przykład - dziedzina stosunkowo młoda w gronie nauk przyrodniczych - dostarcza fascynującego potwierdzenia ścisłości informacji podawanych przez Biblię. Grube tomy nie pomieściłyby opisu wszystkich znalezisk archeologicznych potwierdzających historyczną wiarygodność Pisma Świętego. To zaskakujące, jak często w badaniach wiarygodności literatury świeckiej spotyka się ostatnio próby podmieniania stosowanych testów na inne, gdy aktualnie używane wskazują na Biblię jako najbardziej wiarygodną księgę świata. Uczciwie jednak jest stosować te same testy, bez względu na to, czy badana literatura jest religijna czy świecka. Uczyniwszy to, będziemy mogli wziąć Pismo Święte do ręki i powiedzieć: Biblia jest wiarygodna i historycznie absolutnie rzetelna. Ta książka traktuje właśnie o tym. Ta książka jest fragmentem tematycznym Przewodnika apologetycznego.

"THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: THE RETURN OF JACKSON BRODIE, 'LIKE ALL GOOD DETECTIVES, A HERO FOR MEN AND WOMEN ALIKE' (The Times) 'Big Sky is laced with Atkinson?s sharp, dry humour, and one of the joys of the Brodie novels has always been that they are so funny' (Observer) Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son Nathan and ageing Labrador Dido, both at the discretion of his former partner Julia. It?s a picturesque setting, but there?s something darker lurking behind the scenes. Jackson?s current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife, seems straightforward, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network?and back into the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking new literary crime novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today."

The Dalai Lama?s message of peace and compassion resonates with people of all faiths and none. Yet, for all his worldwide fame, he remains personally elusive. Now, Alexander Norman, acclaimed Oxford-trained scholar of the history of Tibet, delivers the definitive biography?unique, multi-layered, and at times even shocking. The Dalai Lama illuminates an astonishing odyssey from isolated Tibetan village to worldwide standing as spiritual and political leader of one of the world?s most profound and complex cultural traditions. Norman reveals that, while the Dalai Lama has never been comfortable with his political position, he has been a canny player?at one time CIA-backed?who has maneuvered amidst pervasive violence, including placing himself at the center of a dangerous Buddhist schism. Yet even more surprising than the political, Norman convinces, is the Dalai Lama?s astonishing spiritual practice, rooted in magic, vision, and prophecy?details of which are illuminated in this book for the first time. A revelatory life story of one of today?s most radical, charismatic, and beloved world leaders.

This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men - and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions and live a more joyful life. The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110% and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish? Sisters Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., the bestselling author of Come as You Are, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion, and confront the obstacles that stand between women and well-being. With insights from the latest science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, Burnout reveals: * what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle - and return your body to a state of relaxation. * how to manage the 'monitor' in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration. * how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies - and how to fight back. * why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are key to recovering from and preventing burnout. Eye-opening, compassionate and optimistic, Burnout will completely transform the way we think about and manage stress, empowering women to thrive under pressure and enjoy meaningful yet balanced lives. All women will find something transformative in these pages - and be empowered to create positive and lasting change.

Heat What would happen if a shy introvert lived as an out-and-out extrovert for one year? Jessica Pan is about to find out? * When she found herself jobless and friendless, sitting in the familiar Jess-shaped crease on her sofa, she couldn't help but wonder what life might have looked like if she had been a little more open to new experiences and new people, a little less attached to going home instead of going to the pub. So, she made a vow: to push herself to live the life of an extrovert for a year. She wrote a list: improv, a solo holiday and... talking to strangers on the tube. She regretted it instantly. Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come follows Jess's hilarious and painful year of misadventures in extroverting, reporting back from the frontlines for all the introverts out there. But is life actually better or easier for the extroverts? Or is it the nightmare Jess always thought it would be? * ?In a world of self-care and nights in, this book will inspire and remind you to do some things that scare you every so often.?

Siberia?s story is traditionally one of exiles, penal colonies and unmarked graves. Yet there is another tale to tell. Dotted throughout this remote land are pianos ? grand instruments created during the boom years of the nineteenth century, and humble, Soviet-made uprights that found their way into equally modest homes. They tell the story of how, ever since entering Russian culture under the influence of Catherine the Great, piano music has run through the country like blood. How these pianos travelled into this snow-bound wilderness in the first place is testament to noble acts of fortitude by governors, adventurers and exiles. That stately instruments might still exist in such a hostile landscape is remarkable. That they are still capable of making music in far-flung villages is nothing less than a miracle. But this is Siberia, where people can endure the worst of the world ? and where music reveals a deep humanity in the last place on earth you would expect to find it.
In the summer of 1939 Hitler was at the zenith of his power. The Nazis had consolidated their authority over the German people, and in a series of foreign-policy coups, the Führer had restored Germany to the status of a major Continental power. He now embarked on realising his lifelong ambition: to provide the German people with the living space and the resources they needed to flourish and exterminate those who were standing in the way ? the Bolsheviks and the Jews. Yet despite the initial German triumphs ? the quick defeat of Poland, the successful Blitzkrieg in the west ? the war set in motion Hitler?s downfall. With the attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941 and the entry of the United States into the war later that year, Nazi Germany?s fortunes began to turn: it soon became clear that the war could not be won. As in the earlier volume, Volker Ullrich offers fascinating insight into the personality of the Führer, without which we fail to understand the course of the war and the development of the Holocaust. As Germany?s supreme military commander, he decided on strategy and planned operations with his generals, involving himself in even the smallest minutiae. And here the key traits ? and flaws ? of his personality quickly came to the fore. Hitler was a gambler who put everything on one card; deeply insecure, he was easily shaken by the slightest setback and quick to blame his subordinates for his own catastrophic mistakes; and when he realised that the war was lost, he embarked on the annihilation of Germany itself in punishment of the German people who had failed to hand him victory. In September 1939, Hitler declared that he would wear a simple military tunic until the war was won ? or otherwise, he would not be there to witness the end. On 30 April 1945, as Soviet troops closed in on his bunker in Berlin, Hitler committed suicide; seven days later, Germany surrendered. Hitler?s murderous ambitions had not just destroyed Germany: they had cost the lives of tens of millions of people throughout Europe.
We owe a great debt to Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797-1849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published. Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782-1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David. The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication; Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of the treatise's eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death. The eight volumes of Bourgery's treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob's spectacular hand-colored lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research. Unsurpassed to this day, the images offer exceptional anatomical insight, not only for those in the medical field but also for artists, students, and anyone interested in the workings and wonder of the human body.
The next Bill Bryson' (New York Times) explores international relations past and present between three East Asian countries ? Japan, South Korea and China ? in this lively, absorbing travelogue ?Two tigers cannot share the same mountain? - Chinese proverb China, Korea and Japan are the neighbours who love to hate each other. But why? Europe has forgiven Germany?s war crimes, why can?t Japan?s neighbours do likewise? To what extent do the ongoing state-level disputes about island ownership, war history, controversial shrines and statues, missile systems and military escalation reflect how the people of these countries regard each other? They have so much to gain from amicable relations, so why do they seem to be doing their level best to keep the fires of hatred burning? The Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are more than neighbours, they are siblings from a Confucian family. They share so much culturally, from this ancient philosophy with its hierarchical, bureaucratic legacy, to rice-growing, art, architecture, chopsticks, noodles and much more which has been passed down from China over millennia. In turn, China has modelled much of its recent industrial and economic strategy on Japan?s post-war manufacturing miracle, and adores contemporary Korean popular culture. Yet still East Asia festers with a mutual animosity which frequently threatens to draw the world into a twenty-first-century war. In his previous international best-seller, The Almost Nearly Perfect People, Michael Booth set out to explore the Scandinavian tribes and what they think of each other. In this new book, which blends popular anthropology, history, politics and travel, the subjects are these Asian tigers that have endured occupation, war and devastation to become among the richest, most developed and powerful societies on Earth. In this deeply researched, revealing book, he sets off on a journey by car, boat, train and plane through all three countries, ending up in a fourth, Taiwan. Here, he hopes to find a positive story but instead discovers the Taiwanese are not merely in conflict with the Chinese, but they also harbour another, less well-known but still bitter grudge towards an East Asian neighbour.

Who Killed My Father is the story of a tough guy ? the story of the little boy I never was. The story of my father. ?What a beautiful book? MAX PORTER In Who Killed My Father, Édouard Louis explores key moments in his father?s life, and the tenderness and disconnects in their relationship. Told with the fire of a writer determined on social justice, and with the compassion of a loving son, the book urgently and brilliantly engages with issues surrounding masculinity, class, homophobia, shame and social poverty. It unflinchingly takes aim at systems that disadvantage those they seek to exclude ? those who have their expectations, hopes and passions crushed by a society which gives them little thought. ?Édouard Louis is the vanguard of France?s new generation of political writers?

'Totally gripping'-- Simon Sebag Montefiore ?Pilecki is perhaps one of the greatest unsung heroes of the second world war ... this insightful book is likely to be the definitive version of this extraordinary life? -- Economist Would you sacrifice yourself to save thousands of others? In the Summer of 1940, after the Nazi occupation of Poland, an underground operative called Witold Pilecki accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands of people being interned at a new concentration camp on the border of the Reich. His mission was to report on Nazi crimes and raise a secret army to stage an uprising. The name of the detention centre -- Auschwitz. It was only after arriving at the camp that he started to discover the Nazi?s terrifying plans. Over the next two and half years, Witold forged an underground army that smuggled evidence of Nazi atrocities out of Auschwitz. His reports from the camp were to shape the Allies response to the Holocaust - yet his story was all but forgotten for decades. This is the first major account to draw on unpublished family papers, newly released archival documents and exclusive interviews with surviving resistance fighters to show how he brought the fight to the Nazis at the heart of their evil designs. The result is an enthralling story of resistance and heroism against the most horrific circumstances, and one man?s attempt to change the course of history.
"WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 2019 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'An angry and important work of historical detection, calling time on the misogyny that has fed the Ripper myth. Powerful and shaming' GUARDIAN Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories.

In Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code, Ada uses her incredible imagination to dream up technology that could have jump-started the digital age nearly two hundred years ago. In fact, she writes what will become the world's first programming language. As a child, Ada is curious about everything. She is obsessed with machines and creatures that fly, even going so far as to write her own book about them called "Flyology." Along with her cat, Mistress Puff, Ada gets into all sorts of trouble. According to her mother, Ada is a bit too wild and her imagination could benefit from some discipline, so she puts Ada into a rigorous syllabus of mathematics, languages, and geography. When Ada comes out in London's high society, she is invited to the most popular soiree in town, hosted by the renowned inventor Charles Babbage. It is there that she encounters a mysterious machine which unlocks a future full of possibilities. But she can't escape marriage forever, and soon finds herself a wife with three children.

She hires tutors to teach her absolutely everything about math and numbers, before joining Babbage in his mechanical world. This is the story of a pioneer in the computer sciences, which is now a multibillion-dollar industry, but it's also proof that women have the intellectual capacity to make invaluable contributions to the Science Technology Engineering & Math world. Also included is further information on Ada's legacy today and activities based on simple coding and mathematical concepts.
