Fast Track
Sleek, comfortable, accessible, and sustainable, high-speed rail is the future.
Since Japan's Bullet Train first sped down the track in the sixties, it has become a global icon, as famous for its punctuality as for its speed.
The French TGV, or Train á Grande Vitesse, established a template that was soon followed across Europe, in Italy, Germany and Spain
But with a remarkable 30,000 miles of track built in fewer than twenty years China has become the world leader.
Now with lines built or planned in over twenty countries, high speed rail has changed the world and, faced with the environmental cost of cars and air travel, might help save it.
Two countries, both pioneers of rail travel, have been conspicuously left behind, though. The UK, which before the Second World War built record-breaking high-speed trains, has just sixty-eight miles of high-speed line and the unfolding embarrassment of HS2, while the United States has no genuine high-speed line at all. How can this be?
In Fast Track, Christian Wolmar, our leading railway writer, tells the story of the irresistible rise of high-speed rail around the world for the first time. From the magnificence of Britain's steam-engined Mallard to a 250 mile per hour future, this is a story of big personalities, bold decisions, cutting edge technology, and soaring ambition.

Meet the Neighbors
'At last, a sensible and penetrating look at the possibility of life on Mars ... Bravo to Benner, one of the world's most accomplished chemists, for putting the possibility of extant Martian life back on the scientific agenda'
Paul Davies, author of Quantum 2.0
Are we alone in the universe?
Mars has always seemed where we were likeliest to find the answer. Yet, since the Viking landers touched down in 1976, no mission has returned to the Martian surface to search directly for life living there now. Instead we're searching the moons of outer planets, or the atmospheres of planets many light years away.
In Meet the Neighbors, pioneering astrobiochemist Steven A. Benner argues that this was a historic mistake. That we're looking in the wrong place. Drawing on the Viking archive and explaining how the scientific process failed, he re-examines the mission that first searched for extant Martian life and makes the provocative case that its results were misunderstood. In the decades that have followed, Mars science has focused on water, geology and past habitability, while the most direct question - is anything alive on Mars today? - has been pushed aside.
Benner shows why Mars remains the most accessible place to discover a second origin of life, and why finding even microbial organisms there would transform our understanding of our place in the cosmos. He also asks a deeper question: what counts as life in the first place? From the chemistry that may give rise to living systems to "agnostic" tools capable of detecting unfamiliar biology, he lays out a bold and practical blueprint for the next phase of exploration.
At once a scientific detective story, a challenge to decades of orthodoxy, and a lucid guide to one of humanity's biggest questions, Meet the Neighbors is the definitive, urgent brief on where to go, what to measure, and why the next discovery won't just change textbooks - it will rewrite our place in the universe.
Little Book of Armani: The story of the iconic fashion house
The name 'Armani' embodies the significance of being 'Made in Italy', and a quiet luxury that came to define American power dressing.
Beginning in 1970s Milan, Giorgio Armani pared back structure and refined proportion, creating tailoring that felt modern, fluid and quietly authoritative. On the catwalk, he showed a vision of luxury built on restraint, clarity and longevity. On screen, Richard Gere's Armani wardrobe in American Gigolo recast menswear as seductive rather than stiff, while on the Oscars red carpet, Diane Keaton in a stripped-back Armani look demonstrated the ultimate in understatement as glamour. Little Book of Armani tells the story of how - across fragrance, sportswear and evening wear - Armani proved that sophistication often speaks quietly.
With 100 images of runway, behind the scenes, on-screen, campaigns and street style, alongside expert text deep-diving every look, this is the ultimate guide to the world of Armani.
Toulky Gruzií
Gruzie je malá, ale nesmírně přitažlivá země. Skoro každý, kdo ji jen trochu pozná, si ji zamiluje. Stalo se to i autorce knihy Ivaně Bursíkové, která zemi projela a prošla skrz naskrz. Vydejte se společně s ní na cesty mezi nebem a zemí – do gruzínských hor, kde je voda křišťálově čistá, skály černé a lesy hluboké. Vyrazte pěšky, nebo na koňském hřbetu. Projděte si tajemná zákoutí starobylého Tbilisi, města, které nikdy nespí. Pojeďte do Gruzie!
PORTAL
Tracy Fuad’s second collection of poems, PORTAL, probes the fraught experience of bringing a new life into a world that is both lush and filled with gloom. A baby is born in a brutalist building; the planet shrinks under the new logic of contagion; roses washed up from a shipwreck centuries ago are blooming up and down the cape. PORTAL documents a life that is mediated, even at its most intimate moments, by flattening interfaces of technology and in which language—and even intelligence—is no longer produced only by humans. The voices here are stalked by eco-grief and loneliness, but they also brim with song and ecstasy, reveling in the strangeness of contemporary life while grieving losses that cannot be restored. Through Fuad’s frank, honest poetry, PORTAL vibrates with pleasure and dread.
The Franchise
A land filled with magic and dragons and wizards and warriors. Thousands of people live and work within its borders, fearful of their enemies and loyal to their king. The classic fantasy world of The Malicarn has been brought to life on the big screen in a series of phenomenally successful blockbuster movies, almost entirely populated by characters in total belief that their sham fantasy lives are real. A fan-favorite actor finds himself doubting the studio's work, but this franchise has an almost unstoppable momentum, and bringing freedom to a population that already believes itself to be free won’t be as easy as he thinks.
