      Adamovi je sedmnáct, když ho vysoký pihovatý kluk jménem Callum pozve na první rande. Adam se do něj zamiluje téměř na první pohled, přesně jak to zná ze svých oblíbených filmů. Ale když se mu Callum svěří se svým tajemstvím, čelí Adam kruté realitě, na kterou ho příběhy nepřipravily. Ben je posedlý módou. Kvůli rozporům s rodinou odchází z domova a vydává se za bratrem do New Yorku. Poprvé za celý život mu připadá, že může být sám sebou. Jenže jeho nový svět je uzavřenější, než si myslel. Jejich osudy se propletou, když Ben náhodou spatří smutného Adama sedět u řeky. Narážejí na sebe zas a znovu, zatímco se každý z nich nachází na jiné životní křižovatce a světem 90. let otřásá epidemie AIDS. Jakmile však otevřou náruč novým možnostem, uvědomí si, že někdy nám mohou pomoci jen lidé, kteří nás vidí takové, jací jsme. A cesty, jež se míjely, se mohou nečekaně spojit do jedné.

      From our primal beginnings, significant events seem to have shaped our human behaviour… or at least in the minds of humanitarian Imon Kane and the disparate members of his team this was so…So how does this incongruous group respond to the haunting revelation that a blue-print exists that can unravel the true context of human liberty. Are our raw emotions, over the time mankind has inhabited this planet, sculptured by the world we live in or our own DNA?And will we live under the paradox of political terror as a fundamental statement of our democracy?Kane turns to the key he believes will unlock such controversy… With his support of seven exceptional men and women, he ventures into worlds never before seen or experienced by modern-man.The loves, hates, compassion and brutality, the beliefs manifest behaviour in moulding power, over millennia, explode into reality. But conscious of the dangers inherent in his discovery and unthinkable consequences in the wrong hands, he turns to the one thing he believes offers hope for humanity.In a fanciful-free context, worldview change is not an uncommon posit, but the machination by which this might occur presents a conundrum… And that is another story.

      Nobody in the history of time has ever felt so-so about tofu. They either love it (it totally takes on the taste of anything you use to flavour it, which is awesome!) or hate it (it's just, like, a gross sponge!). For those of you in the latter column, get ready for a tofu attitude adjustment ... includes 40 easy recipes that take into account what the haters dislike - texture, smell, taste - to help them open their minds and change hate to love ... Healthy, heart-smart, and inexpensive, tofu has a lot to recommend it. You'll find milk, honey, cheese, mayo and more non-vegan stuff like that in here. Maybe even the occasional crumble of bacon. But wherever he can, the author points out possible substitutions if you want to eat vegan. The point of this book isn't to avoid meat, it's just to add another option into your repertoire - a high-protein, low-fat, low-carb, low-cholesterol, gluten-free, calcium-rich, inexpensive, readily available option that also happens to be really easy to work with.

      It’s 5:00 a.m. on Fifth Avenue, and 16-year-old Gemma Beasley is standing in front of Tiffany & Co. wearing the perfect black dress with her coffee in hand—just like Holly Golightly. As the cofounder of a successful Tumblr blog—Oh Yeah Audrey!—devoted to all things Audrey Hepburn, Gemma has traveled to New York in order to meet up with her fellow bloggers for the first time. She has meticulously planned out a 24-hour adventure in homage to Breakfast at Tiffany’s ; however, her plans are derailed when a glamorous boy sweeps in and offers her the New York experience she’s always dreamed of. Gemma soon learns who her true friends are and that, sometimes, no matter where you go, you just end up finding yourself.Filled with hip and sparkling prose, Oh Yeah, Audrey! is as much a story of friendship as it is a love letter to New York, Audrey Hepburn, and the character she made Holly Golightly.
