Rewilding the Sea
In this indispensable follow up to his acclaimed The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World, Charles Clover chronicles how determined individuals are proving that the crisis in our oceans can be reversed, with benefits for both local communities and entire ecosystems. Rewilding the Sea celebrates what happens when we step aside and let nature repair the damage: whether it is the overfishing of bluefin tuna across the Atlantic, the destruction of coral gardens by dredgers in Lyme Bay or the restoration of oysters on the East Coast of America.
The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging create more CO2 than the aviation industry and damage vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. We need to fish in different ways, where we fish at all. We can store carbon and have more fish by stepping aside more often and trusting nature.
Essential and revelatory, Rewilding the Sea propels us to rethink our relationship with nature and reveals that saving our oceans is easier than we think.
The Patriarchs
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023
A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR FOR POLITICS 2023
‘By thinking about gendered inequality as rooted in something unalterable within us, we fail to see it for what it is: something more fragile that has had to be constantly remade and reasserted.’
In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini goes in search of the true roots of gendered oppression, uncovering a complex history of how male domination became embedded in societies and spread across the globe from prehistory into the present.
Travelling to the world’s earliest known human settlements, analysing the latest research findings in science and archaeology, and tracing cultural and political histories from the Americas to Asia, she overturns simplistic universal theories to show that what patriarchy is and how far it goes back really depends on where you are.
Despite the push back against sexism and exploitation in our own time, even revolutionary efforts to bring about equality have often ended in failure and backlash. Saini ends by asking what part we all play – women included – in keeping patriarchal structures alive, and why we need to look beyond the old narratives to understand why it persists in the present.

Forever Barbie - The Unauthorized Biography of a Real Doll
Barbie is a strong, independent doll. But is she a feminist icon? It’s complicated.
Since her introduction in 1959, Barbie’s impact has been revolutionary. Far from being a toy designed by men to oppress women, she was a toy invented by women to teach women what was expected of them, for better or for worse. Whether tarred-and-glittered as antifeminist puffery or celebrated as a feminist icon (or, at any rate, an important cultural touchstone in understanding feminism) Barbie has undeniably influenced generations of girls.
In Forever Barbie, cultural critic, investigative journalist, and first-generation Barbie owner M. G. Lord uncovers the surprising story behind Barbie’s smash success. Revealing her low origins as “Bild Lilli,” a risqué doll for adults sold as a gag gift in postwar Germany, Forever Barbie traces Barbie’s development and transformation, through countless makeovers and career changes, into an international pop culture icon and now “traditional toy.” Though not every doll in the line has been a hit?with pregnant Midge and Growing up Skipper among the more intriguing disasters?Barbie’s endurance, Lord writes, speaks as much to Mattel’s successful marketing as it does to our society’s overall ambivalence toward femininity.
With new accessories, including a preface on the latest developments in the Barbieverse, Forever Barbie “will make you think of America’s most celebrated plastic doll in ways you never have before” (Susan Faludi).

WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT THIS?!
What is the most personal thing you've asked the Internet? Illustrator Hazel Mead turns to Google to uncover what we secretly ask search bars about our relationships, bodies and identities. With hundreds of demystifying and empowering illustrations, she offers a fun, shame-free and inclusive guide to life's big questions. This is the emotional curriculum you'll wish was taught in every classroom.
What if there was a book that explored the big lessons of life? Sure, formal education will equip you with requisite knowledge on photosynthesis. But when it comes to spotting the green flags in a prospective partner, navigating yours or a loved one's grief, knowing how to prepare for a cervical screening, or to practicing self-defense, it can feel like total guesswork.
Using the latest research, interviews with experts, and her signature visuals, Hazel interrogates the taboos that shame us into silence. Since the answers to life's big questions are rarely black and white, she answers them in colour, with accessible design and compassionate reflections. Why Aren't We Talking About This?! is an exploration of the things we're too afraid to ask but desperately need to know and talk about for greater acceptance of others and ourselves. It's a bold invitation to forget normal and embrace what makes you unique.

A Botanical Daughter
Mexican Gothic meets The Lie Tree by way of Oscar Wilde and Mary Shelley in this delightfully witty horror debut. A captivating tale of two Victorian gentlemen hiding their relationship away in a botanical garden who embark on a Frankenstein-style experiment with unexpected consequences.
It is an unusual thing, to live in a botanical garden. But Simon and Gregor are an unusual pair of gentlemen. Hidden away in their glass sanctuary from the disapproving tattle of Victorian London, they are free to follow their own interests without interference. For Simon, this means long hours in the dark basement workshop, working his taxidermical art. Gregor’s business is exotic plants – lucrative, but harmless enough. Until his latest acquisition, a strange fungus which shows signs of intellect beyond any plant he’s seen, inspires him to attempt a masterwork: true intelligent life from plant matter.
Driven by the glory he’ll earn from the Royal Horticultural Society for such an achievement, Gregor ignores the flaws in his plan: that intelligence cannot be controlled; that plants cannot be reasoned with; and that the only way his plant-beast will flourish is if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate.
The experiment – or Chloe, as she is named – outstrips even Gregor’s expectations, entangling their strange household. But as Gregor’s experiment flourishes, he wilts under the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes. The mycelium grows apace in this sultry greenhouse. But who is cultivating whom?
Told with wit and warmth, this is an extraordinary tale of family, fungus and more than a dash of bloody revenge from an exciting new voice in queer horror.

A Sorel-ház
Salamon Pál világsikerű, négy magyar kiadást megélt önéletrajzi ihletésű családregénye három generáció, a Sorel "dinasztia" történetét meséli el. Földközeli prózaiságával bevezeti az olvasót a 20. század magyar történelmébe, legendás-misztikus elemivel, az emberi méltóságot hirdető filozófiájával pedig tartást ad, és mint az igazán fontos művek: élni segít. A Monarchia legnagyobb különce, a Kárpátok varázslatos vidékén született, nagy erejű ácsmester, Sorel József az élet alapvető kérdésein szokott töprengeni, s miközben tető alá hozza egyedi házait, megvédi az elesetteket és falja a könyveket, arra a következtetésre jut, hogy a világ végveszélyben van, így még több segítségre szorul. Megalapítja hát otthonában az Atlantis Királyság Követségét... Fiának, a fizikai, lelki és szellemi erőt magában egyesítő Sorel Mihálynak, majd a svéd Sorel unokának mi tagadás nehéz és nemes örökség jutott osztályrészül: háborúkon, üldöztetéseken, diktatúrákon keresztül, és természetesen a szerelem útvesztőjén át kell továbbvinniük a hagyományt.

Hupota hihetetlen kalandjai erdőn-mezőn
"Üres volt már néhány megszokott hely, amikor hangos köszönéssel egyre közelebb és közelebb jött valaki. Ki tudja a reggeli munkaértekezlet vagy valami más teendő foglalta le az összes munkást, de pillanatnyilag a csarnok visszhangzott az érkező köszönésétől. -Jó napot! - Jó reggelt! - Halló, van itt valaki? - Kérem, válaszoljon! Talán megelégelte saját hangját, mert csendben folytatta felderítő útját. Sorra elhaladt a bent maradt traktorok közt. Továbbra sem tartóztatta fel senki és semmi a nézelődésben. Akadálytalan útja során mindent megnézett, így jutott el kistraktorhoz, aki mi tagadás, öregesen szunyókált. Éppen ezért fogalma sem volt a látogatóról. Szeretetteljes érintés az egyik sárhányón, egy másik a lámpáján, ismerősnek vélt lapogatás a kormányán. -Most már aztán megnézem magamnak ki az, aki ilyen korai órán engem kényeztet - gondolta kistraktor. Így is tett, óvatosan kipislogott, aztán már ragyogott az arca, sutba dobta minden megfontoltságát. Géplelke újra élt!"

Önmaga tükrében idegenként
"Julia Kristeva az együttélés formáinak és az azokat jellemző korlátoknak a felismerésére, újragondolására invitálja az olvasót. A szerző az európai civilizációban mindig is jelenlévő idegen sorsát rekonstruálja a történelem, az irodalom és a filozófia talapzatán állva: hogyan érkezhetett el az európai ember az antikvitás barbárjától a Szent Pál hirdette kozmopolita eszmékig? Rabelais, Morus Tamás és Erasmus miként festették meg a távoli országok lakóinak életét és különös szokásaikat? Hogyan lehetséges, hogy a nagy Forradalom, amely eleinte minden harcost szívesen látott, később terrorral sújtotta a "betolakodókat"? Hogyan torzulhatott el a romantika nemzetfelfogása és válhatott a totalitarizmus alapjává? A távolról érkező idegen, Freud "kísérteties" fantomja egy egészen új etikát mutat fel az új évezred emberének: nem a hasonulás és beolvasztás folyamatain belül kell ezentúl ráismernünk. Tiszteletet kell mutatnunk a másként létező élni akarásával szemben - tiszteletet, amit az emberi jogok és kötelességek végső következményének kell tekintenünk.

Massive, Expressive, Sculptural
Buildings designated brutalist in style were largely built in the 1960s and 1970s, exuding an aura of daring, uncompromising design today. It is the French term "brut," meaning raw or unrefined, that lent its name to this particular architectural phenomenon. Vilified for decades as the step-child of modernism, brutalist architecture is now enjoying an astonishing comeback as the latest discovery among digital trendsetters. As well as fascinating users across social networks, brutalism is also inspiring contemporary architecture. Large-scale sculptural forms, coarsely finished materials and floor plans that defy convention merge with contemporary design to generate enthralling new creations. This book offers a sophisticated overview of post-war and contemporary brutalist buildings and of the relationship - in appearance and design, in the grand concepts and the smallest details - between brutalism today and its ancestors.

Anatomy of Violence
Adrian Raine is one of the world's leading authorities on the minds of the violent, the criminal, the dangerous, the unstable. "An Anatomy of Violence" is the culmination of his life's work so far, offering the latest answers to some of the most difficult questions: what are the causes of violence? Can it be treated? And might it one day be stopped? Are some criminals born, not made? What causes violence and how can we treat it? "An Anatomy of Violence" introduces readers to new ways of looking at these age-old questions. Drawing on the latest scientific research, Adrian Raine explains what it reveals about the brains of murderers, psychopaths and serial killers. While once it was thought upbringing explained all, and subsequently explanations shifted to genetics, Raine goes to great pains to explain that anti-social behaviour is complex, and based on the interaction between genetics and the biological and social environment in which a person is raised. But the latest statistical evidence between certain types of biological and early behavioural warning signs is also very strong. Through a series of case studies of famous criminals, Raine shows how their criminal behaviour might be explained on the basis of these new scientific discoveries. But the conclusions point to a host of philosophical and moral issues. What are the implications for our criminal justice system? Should we condemn and punish individuals who have little or no control over their behaviour? Should we act preemptively with people who exhibit strong biological predispositions to becoming dangerous criminals? These are among the thorny issues we can no longer ignore as our understanding of criminal behaviour grows. Praise for Adrian Raine's "The Psychopathology of Crime": "An extremely informative, thoughtful and illuminating book ...a tour de force". (David P Farrington, Psychological Medicine). Adrian Raine is the Richard Perry University Professor in the Departments of Criminology, Psychiatry, and Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. For the past 35 years, his research has focused on the neurobiological and biosocial bases of antisocial and violent behavior, and ways to both prevent and treat it in both children and adults.

Karády - 100
Ha háromszor ír meg valamit az ember, annak különös oka lehet. Van is. Ennek az életrajzi kötetnek a főszereplője is legalább háromszor kelt életre, és győzött filmvásznon, hanglemezeken, sikereit fölelevenítő utókori slágerbajnokok föllépésein. Karády Katalin legenda és mítosz lett. Ha ma élne, firkászok siserehada futna a nyomában, kereskedelmi tévék kamerái vennék üldözőbe, hetente jelenne meg róla valamilyen álhír. Neki valóban nemcsak ötperces halhatatlanság jutott osztályrészéül. A Rákosi-korszak emigrációba, a Kádár-korszak kényszerű Csipkerózsika álomba kényszerítette, de ő még életében feltámadt: hangja és filmjei a tiltottból a tűrt kategóriába emelkedtek. Haza ugyan nem tért sohasem, bármit is fantáziáltak szenzációéhes zsurnaliszták, de figurája mélyen ágyazódott bele az utókor tudatalattijába. Kelecsényi László filmtörténész, aki korábban két kiadásban is napvilágot látott társadalomtörténeti esszéjében foglalkozott a halhatatlan dívával, most egykori önmagával vitatkozva, palimpszesztként írta újra hajdani kéziratát. A kötetet Karády szerepeinek minden eddiginél részletesebb felsorolása és egy bőséges irodalomjegyzék egészíti ki.
