Real tigers

Herron, Mick.


"London: Slough House is the M15 branch where disgraced operatives are reassigned after they've messed up too badly to be trusted with real intelligence work, The "slow horses," as the failed spies of Slough House are called, are doomed to spend the rest of their careers pushing paper, but they all want back in on the action. When one of their own is kidnapped and held for ransom, the agents of Slough House must defeat the odds, overturning all expectations of their competence, to breach the top-notch security of M15's intelligence headquarters, Regent's Park, and steal valuable intel in exchange for their comrade's safety. The kidnapping is only the tip of the iceberg, however-the agents uncover a larger web of intrigue that involves not only a group of private mercenaries but the highest authorities in the Secret Service. After years spent as the lowest on the totem pole, the slow horses suddenly find themselves caught in the midst of a conspiracy that threatens not only the future of Slough House, but of M15 itself." -- provided by publishers.

The terrible paradox of self-awareness : how awareness is the beginning and end of suffering /

Pantano, Robert.,


"Whether we realize it or not, all of us experience the pain of self-awareness. In an age when we are aware of so much -- about ourselves and the world -- this pain can be overwhelming. But the same awareness that causes us pain also opens the door to beauty and wonder. This is the paradox of self-awareness. In a series of poignant aphorisms and short essays, Robert Pantano offers nuanced approaches to confronting, understanding, and living within this paradox. Rather than pretending to provide certainty or easy answers, this thought-provoking collection offers ideas and space for reflection -- for living well and finding comfort and peace without clear solutions. Focusing on major issues of today such as personal alienation, nihilism, the futility of progress, and the malleability of truth, as well as on timeless struggles such as desire, anxiety, aging, and death, this work explores powerful philosophical and psychological ideas in an impressively succinct and memorable way."--

Rory : the heartache and triumph of golf's most human superstar /

Shipnuck, Alan.,


"Rory McIlroy contains multitudes. He can overwhelm a golf course with his transcendent talent and then, at the next tournament, look utterly lost. McIlroy is golf 's most eloquent ambassador and a trash-talking troll, sometimes in the same press conference. The child of a working-class family from a small town in a war-torn homeland now commutes to work in his own private jet and counts billionaires as confidants. A dozen years ago, McIlroy asked Alan Shipnuck a question about the player he had modeled himself after, Tiger Woods: "What's he really like?" As McIlroy enters the last act of his highly eventful career, this book is a chance to redirect that old question and try to understand a man of deep complexity and contradictions. McIlroy's victory at the 2025 Masters packed such an emotional punch because he is golf's most vulnerable superstar. Across two decades as a pro he has been the anti-Tiger, letting fans into his heart and into his world. When McIlroy collapsed onto the final green at Augusta National, having at last completed the career Grand Slam, golf fans cried along with him because so many saw themselves in his struggles. But there is much that the public does not know about McIlroy. With reporting chops honed across thirty years on the golf beat, Shipnuck traces McIlroy's evolution from a young phenom in Northern Ireland to a game-changing force on and off the golf course. Shipnuck has shadowed McIlroy throughout his career, and he brings to life all the heartbreaks and triumphs"--Publisher.
