Understanding Anita Brookner
Alexander (American studies and literature, U. of Gdansk, Poland), who has written about other Jewish authors, explores the bleak worldview of a British novelist from a Polish-Jewish background. She analyzes Brookner's zoom-in portrayal of her protagonists' faith in a better world despite exile, loneliness, and acceptance of authority and a class system, in 19 short novels from The Debut (1981) to Undue Influence (1999).

Master the Art of Running
Although running is becoming one of the most popular sports, learning to run properly can take time, energy and consistency. You need to do it regularly to become good at it and until you have achieved a certain level of competence, it is unlikely that you will enjoy it very much, or for very long. For many runners physical and mental barriers can stop progress. This book’s ultimate aim is to help you enjoy to run – to enjoy the feeling of movement, to overcome inertia, to renew yourself and to boost energy as a result. Master the Art of Running is based on the proven principles of the Alexander Technique that encourage good body use and greater awareness of the way your body functions and moves. The technique teaches you how to release tension from your back and neck and how to run without suffering from injuries. The authors’ perspective on the sport takes them into areas rarely touched on in conventional manuals. Instead of placing importance on speed, targets and goals it emphasises the importance of the way you run so you can transform your training and performance.

Border Bride
The New York Times–bestselling author “weaves a fascinating tale that incorporates Scottish history into an emotionally moving and realistic love story” (Affaire de Coeur). Lady Alpin MacKay is in despair when she learns that, in one tyrannical, sweeping gesture, the Scottish lord Malcolm Kerr has stolen her property. Determined to reclaim her home from her childhood nemesis, she storms Kildalton Castle with a scheme to take back what’s hers. When the beautiful Alpin arrives on Malcolm’s doorstep declaring her land—and herself—as his for the taking, he’s thrilled. At last, he has her under his thumb, right where he wants her. But as Malcolm plots his revenge, and Alpin conspires to trick him into forfeiting her land, neither of them plans for the flame of passion that ignites between them. “Arnette Lamb ignites readers’ imaginations with her unforgettable love stories.” —RT Book Reviews
