Saved by Cake gives an extremely honest account of Marian Keyes\' recent battle with depression, and how baking has helped her. A complete novice in the kitchen, Marian decided to bake a cake for a friend and that was it - she realized that baking was what she needed to do in order to get her through each day.

Adam Zamoyski first wrote his history of Poland two years before the collapse of the Soviet Union. This substantially revised and updated edition sets the Soviet era in the context of the rise, fall and remarkable rebirth of an indomitable nation. In 1797, Russia, Prussia and Austria divided Poland among themselves, rewriting Polish history to show that they had brought much-needed civilisation to a primitive backwater. But the country they wiped off the map had been one of Europe\'s largest and most richly varied, born of diverse cultural traditions and one of the boldest constitutional experiments ever attempted. Its destruction ultimately led to two world wars and the Cold War.

"What Philippa Gregory has done for Tudor England, Jeanne Kalogridis does for Renaissance Italy. Her latest irresistible historical novel is about a countess whose passion and willfulness knew no bounds--Caterina Sforza "Daughter of the Duke of Milan and wife of the conniving Count Girolamo Riario, Caterina Sforza was the bravest warrior Renaissance Italy ever knew. She ruled her own lands, fought her own battles, and openly took lovers whenever she pleased. Her remarkable tale is told by her lady-in-waiting, Dea, a woman knowledgeable in reading the "triumph cards," the predecessor of modern-day Tarot. As Dea tries to unravel the truth about her husband\'s murder, Caterina single-handedly holds off invaders who would steal her title and lands. 

Russian Society in the eighteenth century was dominated by the nobility. This class made large contribution to secular culture and played a role of vital importance in the government, the armed forces and the economic life of Russia. Dr Dukes has based his study on the materials of Catherine the Great\'s Legislative Commission of 1767. Despite the existence it print since the late nineteenth century of a vast amount of source material in the form of records of this Commission, it has been little explored by western historians. The author begins with a description of noble society before the Commission and of the general situation in Russia before the beginning of Catherine\'s reign. He constructs a clear, analytical picture of the attitude of the nobility to the chief questions of the day.

The myths of ancient Greece as they have come down to us are dramatic and exciting stories involving many realistic and powerful characters. This beautiful presentation approaches Greek mythology in a new way: the world of the gods and of the heroes and some of the background history of the Greek civilization is unfolded clearly and simply by a series of over 100 magnificent colour photographs. The artists of ancient Greece illustrated the essential incidents of their mythology with remarkable humour and force, and some of the best examples of their work are included in this carefully chosen collection of pictures. An expert has told the stories of the myths alongside the illustrations and included many fascinating details, while the introduction describes how the myths developed.

On ne cesse en ce moment de parler du «retour au religieux», d\'expliquer comment des individus que rien n\'y prédisposait deviennent subitement intégristes. Valérie Mréjen a choisi le parti pris résolument inverse. Elle est allée en Israël pour rencontrer ceux qui, élevés dans l\'orthodoxie la plus sévère, ont décidé un jour de rompre avec le fanatisme religieux, ceux dont on dit en hébreu qu\'ils ont choisi «d\'aller vers la question». Pork and milk (deux ingrédients que la religion juive interdit de mélanger) croise ainsi habilement les témoignages d\'une dizaine d\'apostats qui racontent leur parcours, confient leurs doutes, leurs difficultés, leurs ruses aussi pour tenter de cacher leur nouvelle vie à leur famille.
