The Last Apartment in Istanbul
I was writing to her, so that she would know me not as this old person whose joints creaked when he rose from a chair, but as the real Pericles: the man who dreamt, deceived, envied, loved…Pericles Drakos has lived in the exquisite Circle Building for all of his seventy-five years. From its lofty windows, he has seen his little corner of Istanbul shift and transform. But as the area has become increasingly gentrified, Pericles has retreated into its shadowy corners. And when the pandemic hits, his isolation deepens. But when Leyla, a sparky and beautiful thirty-something moves in, Pericles is enthralled. And when he discovers Leyla is a writer, he decides to put his own pen to paper and record his own fraught history: that of a Greek man subjected to the politics of oppression and intimidation in twentieth-century Turkey.
How Come?
A legal thriller of an unaccounted-for body, a missing woman tied to a powerful family, and a case echoing a seventeenth-century witch trial. Some questions don’t have good answers. This one has too many. When a funeral director discovers an unaccounted-for body in her basement, she turns to Robbie Munro for help making it disappear. At the same time, a wealthy corporate raider wants Robbie to find his missing stepdaughter. It doesn’t take long for Robbie to realise they may be asking about the same person. As the case unfolds, unsettling links emerge between the present day and a centuries-old witch trial. The parallels are hard to ignore. The timing is worse. With his father’s new girlfriend complicating matters and the facts refusing to line up, Robbie is left trying to piece together something that shouldn’t fit. Because this time, it’s not just the case that’s strange. It’s how far back it reaches. How Come? is Book 13 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Best Defence Series: ? A masterclass in setup, payoff, and surprise? Warm, witty, and full of personality? Fast-paced, gripping, and hugely entertaining? A fresh, authentic take on crime with a truly human hero?

Renaissance of a Boss
Iconic rapper, entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author Rick Ross gives his readers an indispensable guide to creativity, reinvention and greatness -- the perfect book to read alongside Ross's new album SET IN STONE. It's been nearly twenty years since Rick Ross broke out with his 2005 debut single "Hustlin'.” Since then, he’s cemented his legacy in hip-hop and found success in dozens of endeavors beyond music. But as Ross approaches 50, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory: a mid-life crisis. His first creative rut. The Renaissance of a Boss is about how Rick Ross rediscovered his spark--and how readers can too. In this book, you'll learn: • Ross's morning rituals and "Boss habits" that prepare him for success• lessons for staying mentally active by trying new things everyday -- even if it's not your best • practical advice for overcoming the emotional slump when you "just don't feel like it"• how to strike a balance between being inspired by others and staying original• the power of surrounding yourself by people who are better than you, with an inside look into Ross’s collaborations with Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, and Bill Murray and more• reminders about how our lowest ruts can lead us to our best masterpieces -- and, in Ross's case, a brand new album SET IN STONE. In the same open spirit as his New York Times bestsellers Hurricanes and The Perfect Day to Boss Up, The Renaissance of a Boss gives readers a blueprint for success from one of the most prolific minds in music. Ross's epic journey takes him to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe. Along the way, Ross reflects on his creative process, the artists who have inspired him, and shares his own rituals that made him into one of the most prolific minds in music today.
Metamorphosis
'Beautiful. Entertaining. Inspiring.' Nature'Startling . . . riveting . . . hauntingly timely.' Washington Review of Books'A meditation on transformation . . . Warm [and] empathetic . . . wonderful.' Science'Startling . . . astounding . . . Animated by wonder.' MIT's UndarkMetamorphosis has always been one of biology's greatest wonders and toughest riddles. To emerge a butterfly, a caterpillar dissolves inside its chrysalis and builds a brand new brain, wings and legs. Why all this destruction and remodelling? Why all this wasted energy and tim? ren Harman beautifully unfurls the untold story of metamorphosis across two millennia, asking why it has obsessed and inspired us so profoundly. Along the way we meet poets, artists, philosophers, and a cast of scientists as colourful as the animals themselves: whether Aristotle determining cucumbers had souls, Sigmund Freud searching in vain for eel testicles, or a Japanese zoologist singing karaoke to a baby jellyfish. Taking us on an exhilarating journey through the creatures that metamorphose - a staggering three-quarters of all animal species - from starfish reproducing in reverse in ocean depths, to poison dart frogs on steaming rainforest canopies, to human adolescents struggling to control themselves, Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by explaining a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves.

Ton-Iasg
Gaelic translation of funny, heartwarming French bestseller Poisson-Fesse (Buttfish) about a fish that's different. Deep down he just wants to be like all the other fish. But his adventures take him to the depths of the oceans where he discovers other unusual fish, new friends, happiness and renewed self-confidence. The Gaelic title is Ton-iasg Toinisgeil. The central character is a bright pink fish. In the English version he's called Buttfish because he looks a bit like a butt. Aware he's different, he reluctantly puts up with constant teasing and being the 'butt' of his friends jokes. He desperately wants to fit in, deep down he longs to be like all the other fish. One day he decides to swim to the deepest part of the ocean and explore. Here he discovers he's not alone. There are a host of other unusual fish, including Steven, a fish shaped like a cheese wedge! The two unusual chums quickly develop a close friendship... ... and after many adventures they even become 'guardians of the open seas'. The book ends with our hero being told, that looked at from a different perspective, his 'butt' shape, also makes him look like a heart. It's a funny, heart-warming story that rightly deserves its place at the top of the French children's charts. Its message of inclusion and celebration of difference might be universal, but here they are explored in a truly endearing story. Following its success in France the book is due to be published in at least 16 other countries.

Fantastic Kingdom
'Stimulating and insightful' JONATHAN FREEDLAND'The perfect observer of a UK in crisis' JAMES HAWESWelcome to the Kingdom of Contradictions. Global yet insular, tolerant yet suspicious, proudly pragmatic yet profoundly sentimental. The United Kingdom inspires fierce loyalty and endless argument. Ten years after Brexit, it is as divided as ever. After twenty years of studying Britain, German historian Helene von Bismarck offers an affectionate and insightful portrait of the United Kingdom as seen by an outsider. From the enduring fantasy of Britain as a self-sufficient island to the profound devotion to a global monarchy; from imperial amnesia to modern multiculturalism, she explores the paradoxes and myths that shape British identity. Clear-eyed and witty, Fantastic Kingdom is a letter from a friend, revealing why the question of what unites the country has never mattered more than now, at a time of dramatic geopolitical change when liberal democracy is under attack. Looking backwards into history, and outwards into the global context, she closes the gap between how Britain understands itself and how it is seen abroad.

A call for a restoration of professionalism in American government, as illustrated by the life of President George H. W. BushGeorge H. W. Bush is often regarded as the most well-prepared president ever to occupy the Oval Office. Though raised in a world of privilege, Bush was grounded in the belief that character and achievement were essential to serve the common good. In today’s political landscape, these motivations are hardly prided as hallmarks of a great leader—and our nation is experiencing the consequences of these qualities falling out of vogue. Over the course of his education, military service, business career, and decades in public life, Bush absorbed lessons from those around him, shaping a worldview rooted in service, humility, and competence. 41: George H. W. Bush and the End of the American Establishment is not only a study of what Bush learned from mentors and colleagues, but also a reflection on why experience and expertise remain vital to effective presidential leadership. “[George H. W. Bush] gets his due in this brisk, bright, insightful volume.” —Karl Rove, The Wall Street Journal “Bush’s life was defined by his character, friendships, and competitive drive to serve his country. This book explains the wellsprings of that presidential leadership.” —Robert B. Zoellick, Former Secretary of State and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Author of America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy & Foreign Policy “A timely and inspirational read.” —Jean Becker, Author of The New York Times bestseller The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H.W. Bush’s Post-Presidency “I thought I knew most of what there is to know about President Bush but was proved wrong in reading this book. I highly recommend it.” —David Q. Bates Jr., Former Assistant to the President and Secretary to the Cabinet “Laurence Jurdem has done a remarkable job researching and explaining the origins and influences on George Bush’s life.” —Thomas J. Collamore, Longtime aide and senior government appointee to George H.W. Bush, and currently senior advisor to the George and Barbara Bush Foundation
