While the Music Lasts is Jim Powell's fourth and most ambitious novel. Spanning four decades and moving between Britain, France and America, it is a timely chronicle of the generation that came of age in the post-war world. They championed freedom, blew the lid off convention and set out to change society - but did they? Published in two volumes, this powerful story captures the zeitgeist of the extraordinary times through which this generation has lived. The second volume, Arriving Where We Started, opens in New Mexico in 1988, with narrator Tony Gethyn visiting his traumatised Vietnam veteran friend, and later moving to New York. Reflecting the onset of globalisation, some friends from earlier years have moved to New York or visit it often. Among them is the novel's socially dysfunctional anti-hero, now a property tycoon bestriding the global financial markets. Also in New York is someone for whom Tony has long held a candle, first met as a barmaid in a Cambridge pub, now a broadsheet journalist. By the time Tony returns England in 1992, some his friends there have climbed several rungs up the ladders of politics, law, global finance and the media; others have stalled or taken a fall. We follow their triumphs and tragedies through the decade to 9/11 and its reverberations and on to the economic meltdown of 2008. Autorid: Jim Powell

A NEW SOLO NOVEL IN DAVID WEBER'S NYT BEST-SELLING HONORVERSE“It is our duty to pay for our liberty with our own blood. The freedom that we shall win through our sacrifice and exertions, we shall be able to preserve with our own strength.” —Subhas Chandra Bose Lieutenant Brandy Bolgeo has come home from the Battle of Hancock Station wounded in both body and spirit. She will need months to regenerate her lost leg, but how long will it take to heal her heart? She’s come home to find that her wounds, her ship’s brutal damage, the deaths of so many friends, were the fault of an arrogant, aristocratic coward who broke and ran in the face of the enemy. Who left her ship to pay the price for his craven desertion under fire. And whose powerful political allies are determined to protect and preserve him at any price. They have held hostage the declaration of war until Lord Pavel Young escaped the consequences of his cowardice. They didn’t care what it cost the Navy. They didn’t care what it cost the entire Star Kingdom of Manticore. Their tactics have cost the Royal Navy the priceless initiative as revolution and military purges wrack the People’s Republic of Haven, and that lost window of opportunity will cost the Star Kingdom seventeen years of bloody warfare and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Now Young is free to seek vengeance on the people he feels have “wronged” him. People like Paul Tankersley and Honor Harrington. Paid duelists, smear tactics, hired assassins in public restaurants . . . nothing is beneath Pavel Young. But Captain Harrington can look after herself, and Pavel Young is about to face the fury of the woman the newsies call the “Salamander.” Yet who will save the Star Kingdom from the repercussions of his actions? Women and men like Brandy Bolgeo are about to pay the toll for the Star Kingdom of Manticore’s honor. Autorid: David Weber

• An exploration of ACDF's most key milestones, including exclusive insights into its more obscure works• Includes interviews with key team members who reveal the atelier's unique methodologies and approach to design• Presented with striking photography and insightful commentary, carefully selected and written to inspire innovation in the design industry • Explores ACDF's international yet uniquely Montreal-inspired approach• A new type of monograph, thoughtfully created as a visual and cinematic journey through the studio's works, values, and methodologiesOriginating from Montreal but with a global perspective, ACDF, the subject of this monograph, perfectly embodies the dynamic interplay of dichotomies. Balancing the contrasts of black and white, glossy and matte, French and English, ACDF’s projects are a masterclass in navigating these polarities. They infuse new vitality into the contrasts of colour, texture, form, and functional design. ACDF is the perfect blend of North American pragmatism and European flair. The studio is a rich mix of logical thinkers and hopeless romantics; its approach is methodical and exploratory, balancing efficiency and creativity. FRAME provides an unfiltered view of ACDF within these pages, tracing its evolution from a nascent idea to a fully realized architectural studio. The texts also delve into establishing the firm’s core values, its workspace design, and Montreal’s influence on its growth. Anecdotes from Maxime Frappier, the firm’s principal interviewed throughout this book, offer a vivid depiction of the exhilarating chaos and thrill of creating something new. ACDF’s projects move away from ego-driven architecture and towards a more context-sensitive, user-centred approach. This prompts us to re-evaluate our understanding of good architecture and encourages us to explore new methods of developing captivating and resilient built environments.
