How Not To Be Stupid
Stop living on autopilot and take back control of your own mind.
We are surrounded by stupidity. Yet we rarely ask what it really means or where it comes from. If we can identify that someone else is stupid, there's a good chance that we are not. That's enough for most people.
In this provocative exploration of human behaviour, philosopher and bestselling author Igor Sibaldi argues that stupidity is not a lack of intelligence, but an inability to look beyond social norms and think for ourselves. Through twelve core areas of the human experience - including communication, wealth and overcoming fears - he uses wit and irony to help you arm yourself against stupidity, challenge your biases and turn obstacles into opportunities.
Examining some of the most influential ideas from psychology, theology and history in engaging, bitesize chapters, this is an essential toolkit for navigating the chaos of modern life.
Meet the Newmans
From No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Jennifer Niven, a novel about America's favorite TV family, whose perfect façade starts to crack, for fans of Lessons in Chemistry and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
Maybe it's time for perfection to fall out of style . . .
Los Angeles, 1964.
For two decades, Del and Dinah Newman and their sons, Guy and Shep, have ruled television as America's Favourite Family. Millions of viewers tune in every week to watch them play flawless, black-and-white versions of themselves. But now the Sixties are in full swing, and the Newmans' perfection suddenly feels woefully out of touch.
Ratings are in free fall, as are the Newmans themselves. Del is keeping an explosive secret from his wife, and Dinah is slowly going numb. Steady, stable Guy is hiding the truth about his love life, and rock 'n' roll idol Shep may finally be in real trouble.
When Del is in a mysterious car accident, Dinah decides to take matters into her own hands. She hires Juliet Dunne, an outspoken young reporter, to help her write the final episode. But Dinah and Juliet have wildly different perspectives about what it means to be a woman, and a family, in 1964 America.
Can Dinah Newman bring her family together to change television history?
Or will she be cancelled before she ever had the chance?
Wake
WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY MARK RYLANCE'As disturbing as it is empathetic, as beautiful as it is riveting' Eimear McBride, New Statesman'A literary triumph' Adam Thorpe, Guardian1066. The Norman invasion has brutally seized the country that the Buccmaster of Holland, a proud landowning farmer in Lincolnshire, once knew. Bereft of his wife and sons, the Buccmaster clings to the ways of the Old Gods, and assembles a band of 'grene men' to seek revenge. Winner of the Gordon Burn Prize 2014 and longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, The Wake transports readers to an English landscape steeped in folklore, omens and violence. Told in a 'shadow tongue' - a form of Old English understandable to a modern reader - the novel is an astonishing and gripping depiction of faith, homeland and identity at the end of the world. 'Strange and extraordinary . . . it lingers in the imagination' The Times
The First House
‘Vivid and vigorous, precise and unsparingly truthful . . . Excellent’ Financial TimesFrom the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Burnt Sugar comes a gripping psychodrama of unravelling and rebirth – for readers of Katie Kitamura, Deborah Levy, Gwendoline Riley and Elena Ferrante'Unsparing, exhilarating. This novel boils with brutal insight. Avni Doshi is among the finest prose stylists at work today' Katie Kitamura'Lush and sharpened to a dagger point... I was consumed by this novel' Amina Cain‘I married my husband to live in a fairy tale. I imagined us like planets orbiting the sun or gods enacting their myths. Marriage was a solution and I wanted to be dissolved.’A woman’s husband walks into their bedroom one evening and tells her that he wants a divorce. She is stunned. They have always had a happy marriage, an almost perfect marriage. In the following days, marooned with two young daughters in a hostile suburb, the woman starts coming apart. As she sifts through the ruins of their shared life, she begins to notice the warning signs which she chose not to see the first time around. She wanders deep into the forest of her own mind, where marital memories intermingle with myths of headless women and vengeful goddesses, messages hidden in the constellations, glimpses of a natural world seething and alive with portents. Over the course of a single summer, as the cicadas that have been buried in the ground for seventeen years prepare to emerge and fill the air with a plague of ecstatic transformation, the woman too is splitting, liquifying and reforming, stretching her new antennae toward the light. This is a novel about unhappy families – about poison seeping through the domestic space, the bloody battlefield of the home, the enduring threat posed by those closest to us. Stiletto-sharp and darkly hypnotic, it is a gripping psychodrama of unravelling and rebirth.

Red Sheet
'One of the great American writers of our time.’ LOS ANGELES TIMES‘Fierce, brave, funny, scatological, beautiful, convoluted, and paranoid.’ STEPHEN KING‘The American Dostoyevsky.’ JOYCE CAROL OATES‘The neo-noir eminence of L.A. crime fiction.’ THE NEW YORKER‘Fast, punchy, telegrammatic prose that demands to be read quickly and that flows like an enraged river.’ NPRTurn to the first page.

Paper Heart
Winner of the Irish Book Awards Popular Fiction Book of the Year 2025!
Pip’s world is small. But it’s about to become a whole lot bigger.
For years she’s tucked away her dreams, shrinking herself into the space left behind – like the delicate origami she creates alone in her room.
Then hope comes from an unlikely place: an astronomer from the local observatory. He teaches her to look up at the stars, and to see a world far bigger and more beautiful than she ever imagined.
And perhaps in that big, beautiful universe there’s someone waiting for her. If she can find the courage to open her heart.
Pip never stopped dreaming, but now it’s time for her to live – and maybe even to fall in love.
'A lovely, transportive, deeply felt story. My heart grows a bit bigger each time I read a Cecelia Ahern book' Karin Slaughter
'An immersive, sometimes heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting rollercoaster read. Her best yet' Patricia Scanlan
‘A tender, moving story about second chances and the quiet courage it takes to hope again’ Louise O’Neill
Corrupted Kingdom
''Wonderful, highly readable and impassioned'' Daron Acemoglu, author of WHY NATIONS FAIL''Required reading for anyone who cares about how democracy works - both as a warning and a call to action'' Bill BrowderCash from anonymous donors. Cronyism in government contracts. Politicians who sell their influence to the highest bidder. Corruption is rife in British politics.Britain is complacent about corruption. We are used to thinking of ourselves as firm defenders of fairness and the rule of law. But our institutions have never been more corrupt, from scandals in parliament and local government to crises in housing and the NHS. The evidence is impossible to ignore. Political leaders face a clear choice: tackle corruption or continue on the road to decline.Robert Barrington is one of the world''s leading researchers on corruption. Corrupted Kingdom is his comprehensive examination of how corruption manifests in Britain, from politicians to prisons, the Monarchy and the Met. He assesses the origins of corruption, from Londongrad to the end of Empire, and shows how we can best reverse the decline and restore trust in politics and the democratic process.Vital and authoritative, Corrupted Kingdom provides an essential insight into why the abuse of power harms us all - and how we can banish corruption for good.
Hekaté – A boszorkány (Az Alvilág istennői 1.)
Hekaté egy lángokban álló, háború sújtotta világba születik.
A titánok és az új istenek, az Olümposz urai készülnek a végső összecsapásra. Mivel szülei a vesztes oldalra álltak, Hekaté anyjával együtt menekülni kényszerül. Hogy megóvja lányát az őket üldöző Zeusztól és Poszeidóntól, Asztéria leszáll vele az Alvilágba, ahol Sztüx istennő és Hadész király gondjaira bízza.
Hekaté árván, magányosan, az Alvilág csodái és borzalmai között cseperedik fel, miközben kétségbeesetten kutatja isteni célját és helyét a holtak világában.
Végül felfedi valódi képességeit, és istennői rangra emelkedik, ám rá kell ébrednie, hogy még a leghatalmasabb olümposziak is rettegnek tőle. Amikor azonban egy újabb háború előszele azzal fenyeget, hogy mindent elsöpör az Olümposz hegyvonulataitól egészen az Alvilágig, a boszorkányság és a fekete mágia istennője az egyetlen, aki véget vethet a halálos küzdelemnek…
„Csodálatos! Ez a mitológia színtiszta esszenciája, ékkőként tündöklő prózába csomagolva.” – Luna McNamara, a Pszükhé és Erósz szerzője –
„Ez a vad feminizmussal átitatott újragondolása egy kevésbé ismert istennő történetének az elejétől a végéig sistereg a mágiától.” – Kirkus – Engedd, hogy Hekaté hangja vezessen végig az Alvilágon!

Beirut Fragments
''An impassioned cry against indifference'' - New York Times''Stunning and forensic, witnessing everyday life in the midst of siege'' Tareq Baconi, author of Fire in Every DirectionWith an introduction by susan abulhawa''Beirut was a city like any other. What happened here could, I think, happen anywhere''Jean Said Makdisi arrived in Beirut as an outsider: a Palestinian refugee who had escaped Jerusalem in 1948 and had grown up across Egypt and America. But in 1975, as Lebanon''s capital became the locus of a ferocious civil war, Jean decided to stay. As sectarian violence mounted and the city collapsed around her, she documented it all: the cars that exploded in the street; the high-rise buildings that turned to dust; the museums that became military checkpoints; the bifurcation of the city; and the brutality of the Israeli siege in 1982.Taking in the fourteen years of civil war, Makdisi lays bare the violent face of conflict, meticulously documenting its impact on every aspect of civilian life - from the fearsome whistle of shellfire, to the mundanity of queuing for food, to the constant, wandering search for lost loved ones.Intimate and profound, Beirut Fragments is a heartbreaking memoir of a city under siege and an impassioned defence of collective humanity. With vivid insight and urgency, Makdisi records civilian life brought to its limits and reconstructs the image of a place - and its people - that emerged from the ashes.

? THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. A TRUE SLOW-BURN, ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANTASY – PERFECT FOR FANS OF FOURTH WING AND ACOTAR! ? The epic sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller Riftborne!A FATED LOVE. A COSTLY BETRAYAL. Fia Riftborne thought joining the Sídhe Guard was the hardest choice she'd ever make. She was wrong. Taken prisoner by those she swore to fight, Fia uncovers a devastating truth that upends everything she ever knew…about the Aossi…about Sídhe …about herself. The only thing that is certain, is that Fia's growing powers are tied to the Isle’s survival. As war looms on two fronts and tensions in Sídhe reach a breaking point, the Void that gave Fia her power is calling—but answering it means betraying everyone she left behind. The Guard. Her friends. Laryk. In a war where nothing is as it seems, choosing the wrong side could cost her everything, including the brooding commander whose darkness seems to call to her own. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Praise for The Esprithean Trilogy'Fans of ACOTAR will gobble up Riftborne. It’s got enemies-to-lovers, detailed world building, morally gray love interests, slow burn spice that’s worth the torture, an underdog female lead like Yarros’ Violet and a rad power-system loosely inspired by the X-Men.' —Buzzfeed'Maas, Yarros and Broadbent fans, you’ve been warned. Riftborne is your next addictive series. A slow burn at a truly wrought out delicious pace that will leave you squirming for what’s next. And worldbuilding that rivals Broadbent’s in its design and intrigue. Excellent, just excellent. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.' —Emily Bond, HuffPost Books and Buzzfeed'A hidden gem that's fit for ACOTAR fans…[the] chemistry is tense and full of enemies-to-reluctant-allies energy. Riftborne is a slow burn that's worth every page.' —Brit & CoReaders are OBSESSED with Duskbound!‘This book revitalized me. It gave me new life. I am not the same woman I was when I started this masterpiece of a book.’‘The characters give you such an ACOTAR, TOG, and Fourth Wing vibe all wrapped in one!’‘This book has changed me…’‘This slow burn was amazing!! The world? Obsessed with. The characters? Absolutely loveee.’‘Idk how I’m going to cope with that plot twist of an ending and not having book three… going to go stare at a wall now.’‘This is how you build a world…It’s captivating, twisty, and beautifully written without ever feeling confusing.’‘6 stars. Are you kidding me? This book had one of the best plots. Hidden worlds, political intrigue, betrayal and unique powers. YOU NAME IT. I now have a new favourite found family.’
