Denne fortælling er om Afrodites Ø, Cypern, hvor Afrodite, kærlighedens gud og hendes kult, har trives i mere end to tusind år. Kultens styrke er tre lokaliteter, Afrodites tempel, fødested og bad. Det er velkendte steder ofte besøgt af turister og har tiltrukket kunstnere, forfattere og poeter. Det vigtigste sted er Afrodites bad (Fontana Amorosa), en kilde i landskabet Akamas i det nordvestlige hjørne af Cypern. Det var her Afrodite mødte sin elsker, Adonis. Mytologien hævder, at dem der drikker af vandet forelsker sig. Kilden har særlige egenskaber, fordi omkring den vokser Afrodites orkide, som kun finder der. Der er også andre arter i landskabet, som kun findes der, såsom Paphos blue, en sommerfugl der bestøver Afrodites orkide. Fortællingen starter med et mord på en videnskabsmand, der arbejder med såkaldte pheromoner, eller substanser der kan detekteres af dyr og mennesker, som påvirker adfærd, seksuel adfærd, som et afrodesikum. En arabisk prins har investeret i anstrengelserne for at finde et afrodesikum og sender en agent til Danmark for at likvidere videnskabsmanden. Hans samarbejdspartner, en leder af et danske medicinalkompagni, involvere regeringen, militærets og politiets efteretningstjenester. To af landets bedste agenter, en professor og en oberst bliver sendt afsted for at finde morderen og de stjålne resultater. Operationen bliver hjulpet af de danske FN styrker på Cypern og CCIA, Cyprus Central Intelligence Agency. For anker udenfor Limassol er den arabiske prins ombord på sin luksus yacht. Sagen kulminere igennem to hændelser, et videnskabligt symposium, Copulation Chemistry in Animals and Man og Afrodites Festival. Afrodites pilgrimme vandre til Afrodites bad, hvor hemmeligheden bliver demonstreret. Prinsens agent og direktøren for det danske medicinalkompagni kommer først og fjerner orkideer af mange slags. Ombord på prinsens yacht spiser prinsen i sin iver planterne uden omtanke og ender på hospitalet med en sjælden sygdom: Chronic Ischemic Priapism. Een orkide art giver stærk seksuel lyst, en anden en ukontrolleret latter. Prinsens erektion og sygdom er vedvarende og smertefuld. Obersten og de to danske agenter bliver ofre for Afrodites fortryllelse og skønne kvinder. Den lykkelige afslutning finder sted ved den årlige forsamling i The Aphrodite Society of Cyprus.

Pludselig tænker jeg, at de aldrig har hørt min, og heller ikke spurgt til den. Hvis jeg nogle gange har prøvet at bryde ind i samtalen, kunne jeg næsten se, at der i deres ansigter stod malet.

Fear keeps them running. Hope keeps them alive. Vivid, visceral, utterly compelling, American Dirt is the first novel to explore the experience of attempting to illegally cross the US-Mexico border. Described as 'A Grapes of Wrath for our times' (Don Winslow) it is a story that will leave you utterly changed. - Yesterday, Lydia had a bookshop. Yesterday, Lydia was married to a journalist. Yesterday, she was with everyone she loved most in the world. Today, her eight-year-old son Luca is all she has left. The afternoon of her niece's fifteenth birthday party, all Lydia's worst nightmares come true. As she and her son Luca cower in a bathroom shower stall, the rest of her family is gunned down by members of Acapulco's most notorious drug cartel, to make an example of her journalist husband. Lydia's survival instincts kick in immediately, and before the bodies of her family have cooled on the patio, she and Luca are fleeing for their lives. Such is the reach of the cartels, with roadblocks on every highway and the police in their pay, that Lydia quickly realises two things: that they must cross the US/Mexico border as quickly as possible, and that they cannot risk travelling by road. For Lydia and Luca, the most dangerous route is the only route - riding illegally atop the freight trains, known as la bestia, hidden amongst the thousands of migrants who will risk everything in the desperate hope of a new start in the United States. American Dirt is the most heartstopping story of a mother and son on the run since Emma Donoghue's Room, a novel that brings an unforgettably human face to the story of the Mexico/US Border.

'Charming and addictively accessible' STEVEN PINKER'Original, authoritative and beautiful' BRIAN COX'The most wonderful adventure' ROBIN INCEA brilliantly illustrated journey through the wonders and mysteries of the human brain - from a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists. Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year career. In Two Heads, their distinguished careers serve as a prism through which they share the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration and empathy. Working with their son Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, they examine the way that neuroscientific research is now focused on the fact we are a social species, whose brains have evolved to work cooperatively. What happens when people gather in groups? How do people behave when they're in pairs - either pitted against each other or working together? Is it better to surround yourself with people who are similar to yourself, or different? And, are two heads really better than one? Highly original and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads provides an expansive understanding of how our brains work, and how they work together.
