The World as We Built It
'Charming and outstandingly nerdish'ROBERT WEBB'I love Jonn Elledge; I love the way he looks at the world'MARINA HYDE_________For over 10,000 years, we humans have been busy altering our environment and embracing 'progress', evolving seamlessly from hunter gatherers to the modern urban sophisticates we see ourselves as today.But what are the ideas and inventions that enabled humanity to become, by the early 21st century, a majority urban species for the first time? How did the essential infrastructure of modern life - the innovations that we barely even notice, but without which our world would fall apart - actually come to be?With his characteristic wit and boundless curiosity, Jonn Elledge invites us to join him on a fascinating and often surprising tour of the ideas and technologies that made modernity possible. From elevators to electric lighting, parks to pedestrian crossings, he guides us through the history of civilisation itself.A History of the World in 47 Borders was The Sunday Times No 1 Bestseller April 2025

Now the Clans are a conquered people. Ivan cares not for wars or kings. His only concern is the safety of his family, especially his daughter Halia, whom he would protect with his life.

Many believe her cursed, but Halia's awakening powers may be the only way she and her family can survive the coming storm. For the wolves of war are stalking the horizon. Two princes have become mortal enemies, and an iron-toothed witch haunts the shadows. As mighty nations clash, Halia must master her strange magic to protect those she loves.

You Are the Parent
Learn how to successfully form closer connections to your children, with effective boundaries, so the whole family can thrive.
Dr Siggie has witnessed firsthand how the parenting pendulum has swung from overly strict to overly permissive. Parents often try to take both approaches and end up zigzagging between extremes, creating a power shift that has caused many to lose their grounding. This is part of a pattern she calls 'the over'. Overaccommodating, overexplaining, overfixing, overnegotiating, and even overempathizing have become the new normal, leaving little room for coping, resilience and functionality.
You Are the Parent is a reminder that children need their parents alongside them, helping them find and develop their inner skills to face and manage their inner and outer challenges. The key to this is creating safe parameters for children to practise challenges, not avoid them altogether.
Dr Siggie, leading child behavioural and developmental specialist, shares parenting tools that grow alongside your child over the formative years of ages two to seven. She sets her six principles of emotional/behavioural processing, with real-life examples, sample scripts and easy, practical advice on how to apply the highly impactful principles to your parenting style.

The Telephone
From the New York Times bestselling author, a thrilling history of the telephone and how we fell in and out of love with a technology that changed not just the world, but changed us.'Charts our distance-compressing, time-shifting telephonic adventure with exceptional brio and subtlety' – Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth ExtinctionOne hundred and fifty years ago the telephone burst onto the world stage like magic, a supernatural instrument bringing voices from afar. Its invention has been celebrated as a triumph of individual ingenuity and vision, but was in fact a contest replete with bribery, fraud and speculation, and no one, not even its inventors, realised what it was good for or how ubiquitous it would become.Instantly, the ability to speak across vast distances began to transform every part of life: from business organization to military tactics, from news gathering to sex work. Along the way, the telephone changed human nature. As it settled into the background – in offices and on streets, on bedside tables and kitchen walls – people forgot how they ever lived without it.In The Telephone, bestselling author James Gleick reveals the continuous revolution sparked by its invention and the corrupt scheming and ruthless tactics of those who sought to make money from it, tracking the rise of the largest monopoly in history.As dial telephones, landlines, telephone books and telephone booths vanish into the past, he shows how this commonplace object irreversibly changed not only the world but who we are as human beings.'Gleick does what only the best science writers can do: take a subject of which most of us are only peripherally aware and put it at the center of the universe' – Time

The Coastal Garden
Explore the world’s most stunning coastlines in this breathtaking collection of gardens by the sea
Creating gardens in harmony with their environment is a key aspect of garden design today. Nowhere is this more apparent than in gardens created on our coastlines, whether that be atop a rocky Mediterranean cliffside, tucked in a sheltered bay on Britain’s south coast, or on the edge of a sandy beach in Australia. Rooted in their location and offering unforgettable water views, coastal gardens embody an atmosphere of tranquillity, beauty, and an intenseconnection with nature.
The Coastal Garden invites readers to explore 48 extraordinary private gardens set along the world’s most iconic coastlines. These verdant spaces represent a broad variety of terrains, climates, and garden styles – from Bernard Trainor’s design for a surfing family, overlooking the waves in sunny California, to Ulf Nordfjell’s thoughtful, rambling garden on the southern coast of Sweden.
The gardens address one of four different contexts for coastal environments: gardens atop rocky cliffs, planting for resiliency, framing ocean views, and gardens on the beach. The four chapters open with an exploratory text on the theme by writer and editor Sorrel Everton. Each garden feature is then brought to life through striking, large-scale color photographs and a short informative text, also written by Everton. Descriptive image captions provide further context, including planting information and special design details.
Along with in-depth garden features, an introduction by acclaimed plantsman and designer Nigel Dunnett offers insights into both the natural obstacles and incredible benefits of coastal gardens. A garden directory at the back, organized geographically, allows for easy reference.
Beautifully produced and filled with inspiration, The Coastal Garden will transport home gardeners, professional designers, and armchair travelers to these exceptional green spaces overlooking our oceans and seas.
Featured garden designers include: Paul Bangay, Louis Benech, Isabel Duprat, Jennifer Gay, Daniel Hinkley, Phillip Johnson, Raymond Jungles, Ron Lutsko, Jean Mus, Watson + Pellacini, Rees Roberts + Partners, and STIMSON
Featured garden photographers include : Heidi Bertish, Richard Bloom, Jason Ingram, Marianne Majerus, Clive Nichols, and Claire Takacs
The New Dark Ages
The world we knew is passing away and nothing will ever be the same again.
Welcome to the post-literate society. Books are dying. Across the world the number of people reading is in free fall. Literacy is declining or stagnating in most developed countries. At universities, students are unable to read the books assigned to them. Addictive digital entertainment technologies have colonised our free time with infantilising ‘slop’. For the first time since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire ushered in the Dark Ages, the golden chain of knowledge linking reader to reader through the centuries is breaking. The decline in reading is the most important cultural shift of our time.The New Dark Ages is an impassioned defence of the written word and an attack on the trivial and meaningless culture of the screen. Drawing on history and classic works of literature and theory, The New Dark Ages argues that reading and writing are essential for innovation, creativity and critical thinking.Above all, the culture of print is essential to the functioning of modern democracies which require their citizens to grapple with ideas at length and in depth. And as print dies, we risk returning to the chaos, tribalism, and rage of a pre-literate society.
