Untied Kingdom
How did Britain cease to be global? In Untied Kingdom, Stuart Ward tells the panoramic history of the end of Britain, tracing the ways in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced, disputed and ultimately discarded across the globe since the end of the Second World War. From Indian independence, West Indian immigration and African decolonization to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War, he uncovers the demise of Britishness as a global civic idea and its impact on communities across the globe. He also shows the consequences of this diminished 'global reach' in Britain itself, from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to resurgent Englishness and the startling success of separatist political agendas in Scotland and Wales. Untied Kingdom puts the contemporary travails of the Union for the first time in their full global perspective as part of the much larger story of the progressive rollback of Britain's imaginative frontiers.
Enmity and Violence in Early Modern Europe
In this original study Stuart Carroll transforms our understanding of Europe between 1500 and 1800 by exploring how ordinary people felt about their enemies and the violence it engendered. Enmity, a state or feeling of mutual opposition or hostility, became a major social problem during the transition to modernity. He examines how people used the law, and how they characterised their enmities and expressed their sense of justice or injustice. Through the examples of early modern Italy, Germany, France and England, we see when and why everyday animosities escalated and the attempts of the state to control and even exploit the violence that ensued. This book also examines the communal and religious pressures for peace, and how notions of good neighbourliness and civil order finally worked to underpin trust in the state. Ultimately, enmity is not a relic of the past; it remains one of the greatest challenges to contemporary liberal democracy.
Alone
Being alone can be tough, especially in the darkness of space. From Tiktok sensation Scott Stuart, Alone is an endearing story about how sometimes our worst moments can lead to the best things in life. Earth is an affectionate planet who is looking for a friend. She’s delighted when she spots Sun, but Sun is quick to reject her offer of friendship. ‘I can’t be friends with a planet like you, for I am a star and you are too new.’ As Earth searches the solar system, she’s met with a similar response from the other planets – Mercury only likes friends who are dry, Mars only makes friends with those who are red, and Jupiter only has time for big friends. When something fiery, red and menacing comes hurtling towards her, she fears the worst... but could it be a sign that something wonderful is about to happe? erfect for ages 3 and up.
Rooms for Vanishing
For the Alterman family, Fania and Arnold, and their children Sonja and Moses, the universe has been fractured.
In 1938 Sonja is lifted onto a Kindertransport train that will take her from Nazi-occupied Austria to London. She is the only member of her family to survive.
In 1966 Fania works as a massage therapist in Montreal, a place that has provided her safe haven after she lost her entire family in the war.
In 2016 Arnold lives out the last of his days and the last memories he has of his family in the city he has always called home.
And in 2000, Moses awaits the birth of his grandson, unaware that the strings that tie him to his past are being drawn tighter and tighter.
Surely none of these realities co-exist, and yet they seem to be drawing closer . . .
Moving between Vienna and Prague, London and Montreal, New York and Miami, Stuart Nadler's Rooms for Vanishing is a spellbinding exploration of what might happen when grief and hope collide.
Human Compatible
Creating superior intelligence would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, according to the world's pre-eminent AI expert, it could also be the last. In this groundbreaking book, Stuart Russell explains why he has come to consider his own discipline an existential threat to his own species, and lays out how we can change course before it's too late.
There is no one better placed to assess the promise and perils of the dominant technology of the future than Russell, who has spent decades at the forefront of AI research. Through brilliant analogies and crisp, lucid prose, he explains how AI actually works, how it has an enormous capacity to improve our lives - but why we must ensure that we never lose control of machines more powerful than we are. Here Russell shows how we can avert the worst threats by reshaping the foundations of AI to guarantee that machines pursue our objectives, not theirs.
Profound, urgent and visionary, Human Compatible is the one book everyone needs to read to understand a future that is coming sooner than we think.

John Morton
John Morton (c. 1420–1500) was one of the most important men in the land from the Wars of the Roses to the start of the Tudor dynasty. Yet he has been largely ignored in recent times.He was a man of great character and influence over politics and the Church. He lived into his eighties, having served three kings as a councillor, Master of the Rolls, Lord Chancellor, bishop, Archbishop of Canterbury and Cardinal. He was a key figure in the early Tudor state. He had escaped from the Tower of London, lived in exile twice, and was a major adversary of Richard III. He funded the building of Hatfield Palace, the first drainage of the fens, and the central tower of Canterbury Cathedral. The Morton Missal contained the first printed music in England.As S. B. Chrimes observed, ‘Although there can be little doubt that Morton was the key figure in Henry VII’s government, nothing approaching an adequate study of his life and role has yet been published.’ In fact, no detailed biography of Morton has been produced since Victorian times.This book follows John Morton’s career through the reigns of Henry VI and Edward IV, and his central role in opposition to Richard III, before his fifteen years as Lord Chancellor to Henry VII, which were crucial to the establishment of the Tudor dynasty.

Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing
*THE INCREDIBLE COMEBACK STORY OF THE 2025 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPION*Marc Márquez is the apex predator of the MotoGP world: arguably the greatest motorcycle racer who ever lived, he is a nine-time world champion. He is the man who dethroned Valentino Rossi, and who changed the sport of MotoGP forever. Márquez's hyper aggressive riding style has made him many enemies, his epic championship battle with Valentino Rossi in 2015 led to one of the most controversial moments in the history of MotoGP and his closely-fought battle with his brother, Alex, for the 2025 title capped off an astonishing sporting comeback story. But his story off the track is just as incredible: devastating accidents, surgeries and recoveries, racing on despite a diagnosis that left him knowing one more head injury could leave him blind. His self-admittedly ruthless personality and desire to win make him an explosive, dominant and at times controversial character. Told by bestselling author Stuart Barker, with the insight of rivals, team members, pundits, managers and many close to his story, this is the a story of pure sporting theatre and white-knuckle speed twinned with real human drama. Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing is the Márquez told in full for the very first time.
Science Fictions
So much relies on science. But what if science itself can't be relied on?
Medicine, education, psychology, health, parenting - wherever it really matters, we look to science for guidance. Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our understanding of all of these fields and more.
While the scientific method will always be our best and only way of knowing about the world, in reality the current system of funding and publishing science not only fails to safeguard against scientists' inescapable biases and foibles, it actively encourages them. Many widely accepted and highly influential theories and claims - about 'priming' and 'growth mindset', sleep and nutrition, genes and the microbiome, as well as a host of drugs, allergies and therapies - turn out to be based on unreliable, exaggerated and even fraudulent papers. We can trace their influence in everything from austerity economics to the anti-vaccination movement, and occasionally count the cost of them in human lives.
Stuart Ritchie has been at the vanguard of a new reform movement within science aimed at exposing and fixing these problems. In this vital investigation, he gathers together the evidence of their full and shocking extent and proposes a host of remedies to save and protect this most valuable of human endeavours from itself.

Shuggie Bain
Glasgow-nak leáldozott: a bányák és gyárak bezártak, az iparváros munka nélkül maradt. Shuggie Bain a 80-as évek Skóciájának kegyetlen, feszültségekkel terhelt világába születik, a külvárosok és a bányásztelepek tehetetlenséggel, durvasággal és alkoholizmussal teli valóságába. Douglas Stuart önéletrajzi regénye keresetlen szavakkal, kérlelhetetlen pontossággal és rengeteg szeretettel kíséri végig Shuggie életét a kamaszkor végéig. A kiközösített, meleg kisfiú és a büszke, törékeny alkoholista anya kálváriája felejthetetlen tisztelgés egy magára hagyott város és egy derékba tört élet méltósága előtt. „Nem lehetett hasznát venni a matekleckénél, és bizonyos napokon az ember inkább éhen halt, mint hogy megegye a főztjét, de ahogy Shuggie ránézett, megértette, hogy az anyja miben különleges: a sminkjével meg a frizurájával mindennap kimászik a sírjából, és magasba emeli a fejét. Amikor megszégyenítette magát az ivással, másnap fölkelt, felvette legszebb kabátját, és szembenézett a világgal. Amikor üres volt a hasa, és a gyerekei éhesek voltak, megfésülködött, és elérte, hogy a világ az ellenkezőjét gondolja.” „A sivár otthon, a szétszabdalt, fertőzött táj, az iskolai bántalmazás és az emberi gonoszság Agnes és Shuggie nyomorúságos hétköznapjainak velejárói. De Stuart gyengéd, biztos kezű ábrázolása nyilvánvalóvá teszi, hogy anya és fia minden esendőségük ellenére sem áldozatok.”Colm Tóibín, Bookforum „Douglas Stuart olyasmit adott Glasgow-nak, mint James Joyce Dublinnak. Minden városnak szüksége van egy olyan könyvre, mint a Shuggie Bain. A leírások annyira valószerűek, hogy szinte megcsapja az olvasót a kocsmafüst és a sült krumpli zsírszaga, hallja a helyi nyelv dallamát. Stuart az általa jól ismert nyomorúságos világ zugaiban is rátalál a szépségre, mely makacsul túlél a körülmények dacára.”Eliza Gearty, Jacobin

John of John
The stunning new novel from the Booker Prize-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling author of SHUGGIE BAIN and YOUNG MUNGO.An Oprah's Book Club pick'This summer's bestseller' - The Times'This book is special' - Colm Tóibín'Passionate, liberating, and gorgeous' - Min Jin Lee 'Brilliant and rare' - Ann Patchett'A masterpiece' - Elaine Feeney'A fierce, glorious sting of a novel' - Lauren GroffOut of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry home to the island of Harris to find that not much has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades. While Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, John is dismayed by his son’s long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled. John of John is the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. It confirms Douglas Stuart as one of the great British writers at work today.
