Summary : Com a expertise da jornalista Maureen Callahan, Champagne Supernovas nos leva de volta aos anos 90, quando modelos brilhantes deram lugar a verdadeiras lendas, o que era considerado underground e alternativo desfilava nas principais passarelas mainstream, e a moda virou um cenário rico, alimentado pelas mentes mais brilhantes do mundo artístico e cultural. Repleto de histórias divertidas e surpreendentes dos mais celebrados nomes, como os designers Anna Sui e Isaac Mizrahi, as celebridades Kim Gordon, do Sonic Youth, Jane Pratt, da revista Sassy, e um grande elenco de supermodelos, estilistas, editores, fotógrafos e club kids, Champagne Supernovas é, ao mesmo tempo, um relato vibrante sobre uma época e também um estudo revelador dos bastidores, trazendo à tona fatos da vida particular de Moss e até do suicídio de McQueen. Em uma mistura elegante de arte, decadence e genialidade que definiram uma era, este é um panorama legítimo de uma ruptura cultural onde losers e freaks quebraram as regras e emergiram no mundo pop como deuses da moda, mudando drasticamente a forma como entendemos o mundo.

Summary : Fifteen-year-old Mackenzie returns to Paris to attend the Christmas Eve wedding of her Dad's old friend, Rudee Daroo, and the love of his life, dancer Sashay D'or. Mac is told about the annual New Year's taxi road rally, this year hosted by the Marseille Marauders, the nastiest lot of drivers you've ever seen. Partnered with hulking cabbie Blag Lebouef, Mac manages to convince her parents that the road rally is more like a carefree drive in the French countryside than the death-defying cutthroat rivalry it's always been. Negotiating brutal weather, cryptic signage, outright sabotage, random flocks of sheep, and zigzagging back roads, Mac and Blag might be the perfect combination of cunning and brute strength. On the road, she makes the startling discovery that the clues the drivers have been given during the rally could lead to the discovery of some valuable missing artwork. Is that worth losing the rally over?

Summary : 'Clear and compact ... It's hard to fault as a brief, easily digestible introduction to some of the biggest questions in the Universe' Giles Sparrow, BBC Four's The Sky at Night , Best astronomy and space books of 2019: 5/5 All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5 per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced. Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That 'something' is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets. By the 1990s we also knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, named dark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster. Across the universe, this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly fourteen times greater than all the visible material in existence. Brian Clegg explains this major conundrum in modern science and looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.
