The New Climate War
Shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, and one of The Observer’s ‘Thirty books to help us understand the world’.
Are we really to blame for the climate crisis? Over 70 per cent of global emissions come from the same 100 organisations, but fossil-fuel companies have taken no responsibility themselves. Instead, they have waged a 30-year campaign to blame individuals. The result has been disastrous for our planet. In The New Climate War, renowned scientist Michael E. Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters ? fossil-fuel companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petro-states ? and outlines a plan for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up and make real change.

The Coming Wave
AI. SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY. QUANTUM COMPUTING. Everything is about to change. This is the only book you need to understand this new world.
From the ultimate AI insider, Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, part of Google.
Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.
None of us are prepared.
As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.
In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side and the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.
Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?
This ground-breaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes 'the containment problem' - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age.
In a Flight of Starlings
From the 2021 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, a remarkable journey into the practice of groundbreaking science
The world is shaped by complexity. In this enlightening book, Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi guides us through his unorthodox yet exhilarating work to show us how. It all starts with investigating the principles of physics by observing the sophisticated flight patterns of starlings. Studying the movements of these birds, he has realized, proves an illuminating way into understanding complex systems of all kinds - collections of everything from atoms to planets to other animals like ourselves.
Along the way, Parisi reflects on the lessons he's taken from a life in pursuit of scientific truth: the importance of serendipity to the discovery of new ideas, the surprising kinship between physics and other fields of study and the value of science to a thriving society. In so doing, he removes the practice of science from the confines of the laboratory and into the real world. Complexity is all around us - from climate to finance to biology, it offers a unique way of finding order in chaos.
Part elegant scientific treatise, part thrilling intellectual journey, In a Flight of Starlings is an invitation to find wonder in the world around us.
Ice
The curious and vanishing world of ice in Greenland, told through 24 hours in the life of a polar scientist.
'Insightful, lyrical, and personal' - Jon Gertner
'Evokes the ice sheet's magnificence and fragility' - Elizabeth Kolbert
One of the least inhabited and most mysterious parts of the world, Greenland is a singular place on Earth from which to look for the future of our planet and question its history.
Polar scientist Marco Tedesco, a world-leading expert on ice and on climate change, takes us along as he and his fellow researchers conduct all-important measurements to understand the dramatic changes afoot on the immense polar ice cap. Following a day in the life of this disappearing world, Tedesco tells us about improbable 'polar camels', cryoconite holes, gigantic meteorite debris, the epic deeds of great Arctic explorers and the legends of Greenland's earliest populations.
Through these stories, anecdotes and curiosities, Tedesco passionately explains why this continent is something to be treasured and how it could tip the balance of our fate as a species. Blending science and Tedesco's personal journey, ICE is a book full of both wonder and urgency.

Ageless
'A stunner ... If you haven't got this book in your house, I don't know why' Chris Evans
'A startling wake-up call . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to grasp what's at stake' Independent
'An exhilarating journey . . . Steele is a superb guide' Telegraph
'A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with extraordinary facts . . . Read it now' Mail on Sunday
Ageless is a guide to the biggest issue we all face. Ageing - not cancer, not heart disease - is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. What would the world be like if we could cure it?
Living disease-free until the age of 100 is achievable within our lifetimes. In prose that is lucid and full of fascinating facts, Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for this revolution. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what occurs biologically as we age, as well as practical ways we can slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of civilisation - one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.

Wild Love
New town, new characters, same addictive love stories.
From TikTok sensation, Elsie Silver comes an all-new small-town romance series set in the same beloved universe as Chestnut Springs.
Small-town, big characters, four addictive love stories . . . meet the single dads of Rose Hill's recreational bowling team. Perfect for fans of steamy TikTok romance, Lucy Score, and Elsie's smash hit Chestnut Springs series.
She's been driving him wild for years . . . the good kind of wild.
The kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend's little sister and knowing you can't have her.
Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World's Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he's her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend's sister, Rosie Belmont.
After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm's length. Tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay friction that soon turns to blistering heat.
Ford knows damn well he shouldn't cross this line. But shouldn't and can't are two very different things.
And the only thing he truly can't do is resist her.
A gyógyító szakács: A paleolit csoda
A mai kor emberének életmódja drasztikusan megváltozott az elmúlt években, és ez a tény nagymértékben kihat a táplálkozásra is. A paleolit étrend célja, hogy az ebből következő káros hatásokat kiküszöbölje, méghozzá oly módon, hogy hátat fordít a nyugati típusú étrendnek, és visszatér az őskori táplálkozáshoz. Egyes kutatások szerint ugyanis a paleolit kori ember étrendje közelebb áll természetes szükségleteinkhez, biológiai adottságaink, genetikánk nagyjából megegyezik azzal, amilyen a kőkorszaki emberé lehetett.?
A gyógyító szakács sorozatunk legújabb kötetének receptjei segítségével lépésről lépésre haladva ismerkedhet meg a paleolit étrend ínycsiklandozó fogásaival. Kipróbált receptjeink mellett hasznos információkkal szolgálunk az elkészítés módjáról, idejéről, nehézségi fokáról, valamint az árfekvésről, a receptekhez kapcsolódó jó tanácsokkal pedig a további kísérletezéshez nyújtunk segítséget. Jó főzést és jó egészséget kívánunk!" (a Kiadó)

A kór - Kór trilógia 1.
Egy Boeing 777-es száll le a JFK repülőtéren, de hirtelen lefékez az aszfaltcsík kellős közepén. A sötétítők lehúzva. Az áram elment. A kommunikációs összeköttetés megszakadt. A földi személyzet tanácstalan, ám ekkor segélykérő üzenet érkezik. Dr. Eph Goodweather, a Kanári projekt névre keresztelt, biológiai fenyegetéseket vizsgáló gyorsreagálású csoport vezetője fogadja a hívást, és azonnal a géphez siet. Amikor körülnéz a fedélzeten, megfagy benne a vér.
Spanyol Harlem egyik zálogházában az egykori egyetemi tanár és holokauszt-túlélő, Abraham Setrakian érzi, hogy történt valami. És tudja, hogy elérkezett az idő, hogy háború készülődik...
Amikor a vámpírvírus, amely már New Yorkot is megfertőzte, elharapózik az utcákon, megkezdődik a gigantikus méretű háború. Ephnek, akit Setrakian és egy szedett-vedett csapat segít a harcban, meg kell fékeznie a járványt, és meg kell mentenie a városát - a várost, ahol a felesége és a fia is lakik -, mielőtt még túl késő.
