"If war spares me," wrote Vera Brittain to her brother, Edward, in 1916, "it will be my one aim to immortalise in a book the story of us four." Seventeen years later, Vera was to achieve her aim with the acclaimed Testament of Youth. This series of letters was the inspiration behind Testament. Written between Vera; her brother; her fiancé, Roland Leighton; and their two best friends, Victor Richardson and Geoffrey Thurlow, they give a unique perspective on the most horrifying conflict the world has ever seen.

In Vera Rubin: A Life, Jacqueline Mitton and Simon Mitton provide a detailed, accessible overview of Rubin's work, showing how she leveraged immense curiosity, profound intelligence, and novel technologies to help transform our understanding of the cosmos. But Rubin's impact was not limited to her contributions to scientific knowledge. She also helped to transform scientific practice by promoting the careers of women researchers.

Story
In the year of her 100th birthday, Dame Vera Lynn's fascinating and life-affirming wartime memoir from the forces' sweetheart of her adventures entertaining the troops in far-flung Burma. "I was just 27 years old when I went to Burma. It was an experience that changed my life for ever. Up until that time I had not really travelled anywhere at all, apart from one touring visit to Holland with a band I was singing with before the war, and I had certainly never been in an aeroplane. But I wanted to make a difference, to do my bit." And she did.

Story
Frauen haben schon immer die Welt verändert: Sie haben geforscht, Weltliteratur geschrieben und neue Epochen in der Kunst eingeläutet. Doch die Namen dieser Frauen sucht man vergeblich in unseren Geschichtsbüchern. In Wahrheit hat nicht Walt Disney den Zeichentrickfilm erfunden, sondern eine Frau. Es waren auch Frauen, die die DNA, den ersten Algorithmus und die Kernspaltung beschrieben haben. Dank Vera Weidenbach erfahren wir nun endlich mehr über diese für die Weltgeschichte so wichtigen Frauen – wie Lilly Reich, Clara Immerwahr, Lucia Moholy, Nellie Bly und Margarete Steffin.

She had a successful radio career with Joe Loss and Charlie Kunz in the 1920s and '30s, but it was with World War II that she became the iconic figure that captured the imagination of the national public.

Zodiac, il misterioso serial killer dello zodiaco, nel corso degli anni è diventato il simbolo dell'anima nera degli Stati Uniti. A partire dall'estate del '68 questo assassino senza nome ha ucciso uomini e donne nell'area di San Francisco, rivendicando poi le sue azioni con una serie di lettere crittografate spedite alla stampa. Omicidio dopo omicidio, lettera dopo lettera, Zodiac ha sfidato la polizia e il mondo intero con i suoi misteriosi enigmi che ancora oggi restano indecifrabili e, soprattutto, lasciando dietro di sé una terribile scia di sangue e paura.

Vlad Tepes, l'impalatore, nel XV secolo fu il principe della Valacchia, regione situata nel cuore dell'Europa Orientale. Personaggio leggendario per la sua ferocia e crudeltà, ben presto venne chiamato "Dracula", e cioè drago o demonio. Ma chi è stato veramente l'uomo che la cultura popolare prima e la letteratura gotica poi hanno reso immortale con il nome di Conte Dracula? Un paladino della sua nazione e della fede cristiana, oppure un pazzo sadico e feroce, un bestiale e sanguinario torturatore?
