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.

Where Lost Girls Go
From Kody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author of The Duff, comes an addictive YA thriller that's The Girls by Emma Cline meets The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe.
'Keplinger 's storytelling is strongest when describing the girls' reactions to a cult leader-like father figure, from basking in the glow of validation to experiencing self-doubt and isolation... A story of survival and maintaining empathy despite dire circumstances.' - Kirkus
There are many reasons why five girls have ended up living with Sol in a cabin in the Kentucky mountains. But the girls don't talk about what has brought each of them here or who they were before. They have become sisters and are grateful to have a place to call home.
Iris knows she owes everything to Sol. He has promised to keep them safe from their pasts. All he asks in return is for their loyalty, which Iris freely gives. With her sisters and Sol as her family, she feels happier than she has in a long time.
Until a new girl arrives and everything changes.
Sol christens her Rose and the sisters are quick to welcome her. Iris is drawn to Rose, but as they grow closer, Rose has Iris questioning things about this life in the woods. When Sol notices, he challenges Iris to prove her commitment to their family. Her sisters tell her that she should be willing to do anything for the man who saved her. But with each new ask, Iris realizes there is more to Sol -and her sisters - than she knows and some secrets should stay buried deep.
A thriller with true heart - a gripping, stunningly told, edge-of-your-seat story of shifting power and found family.
Perfect for fans of The Girls and The Girls I've Been
Kody Keplinger is a New York Times bestselling author of The Duff, Shut Out and A Midsummer's Nightmare
Push the Wall
YOU KNOW BATMAN.
BUT DO YOU KNOW FRANK MILLER?
In Push the Wall, Frank Miller chronicles the creation of his most iconic works such as Sin City, 300, Ronin, Daredevil, Wolverine and notably, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, which, alongside Batman: Year One served as the foundation for all Batman film and animated adaptations for the past forty years.

With over a dozen illustrations, chosen from seminal moments from Miller's art, and organised by the sixteen lessons that meant most to Miller, this reveals the man behind some of the most exciting stories of our age.

Schoolgirl
A new selection of six short stories by one of Japan's most iconic twentieth-century writers
An adolescent girl narrates her day in an existential masterpiece that explores what it means to be a forming person in a fomenting society. A woman writes a farewell note to her husband, an artist who has driven her away with his counterfeit profundity and naked ambition. A plain young woman steals a bathing suit for a handsome friend, only to find herself ostracised by her neighbours for her boy-crazed behaviour - and her refusal to be shamed.
These six stories by Osamu Dazai are among his finest. Written during the Second World War, in the shadow of intense nationalism, they unpick the concept of the patriotic, productive or moral self. Including the novella 'Schoolgirl', which rocketed Dazai to fame on initial publication in 1939, this collection, newly translated by Polly Barton, is a perfect introduction to Dazai's work.
Bohuslav Martinů a tanec
Publikace Bohuslav Martinů a tanec poprvé souhrnně mapuje skladatelovu baletní tvorbu a její scénické i historické kontexty. Přináší podrobnou dokumentaci všech šestnácti baletů, sleduje taneční interpretace koncertních děl a připomíná i operní inscenace, v nichž hraje tanec zásadní roli. Opírá se o rozsáhlý archivní výzkum, včetně dosud nepublikovaných materiálů, a zpřesňuje řadu nejasností – například okolnosti vzniku baletu Ruce, jehož partitura byla identifikována teprve v roce 2011. Autorka propojuje dobové reflexe s vlastním analytickým pohledem a zasazuje tvorbu Martinů do širších uměleckých i společenských souvislostí. Výsledkem je syntetický pohled na skladatele, jehož hudba – často předbíhající svou dobu – nachází plné porozumění až v současném divadle.
El Generalisimo - Franco : Power, Violence and the Quest for Greatness
From a scrawny, overlooked military graduate to the youngest general in Europe, Francisco Franco was known for his ambition, talent and calculated risk-taking. Yet his reputation remains a topic of fierce debate. Did he destroy Spain and stifle its democracy or rescue the nation from left-wing tumult? In this compelling biography, Giles Tremlett unravels the complex life and legacy of the enigmatic dictator who shaped twentieth-century Spanish history.
This book will delve into the complexities of Franco's character, exploring his volatile relationship with a domineering father, his traumatic experiences fighting in Morocco and the formation of his authoritarian ideology. The narrative follows Franco's ruthless leadership during the Civil War, his alignment with Hitler and Mussolini and the subsequent Cold War era that brought him international rehabilitation. Tremlett interrogates Franco's transformation of Spain through a lens that challenges the conventional view of him as a bumbling leader. Instead, he argues that Franco was a deliberate and pragmatic dictator who wielded terror to maintain an iron grip on power, and whose lasting (and most surprising) contribution was the period of peace that allowed Spain to challenge the absolutist spirit he embodied.
Nuanced and comprehensive, El Generalisimo offers a fresh perspective that reveals the intricate interplay of ambition and fearlessness of Francisco Franco; and examines his enduring legacy that continues to shape Spain's political and cultural landscape.
The Dragon Has Some Complaints
In this heartfelt and humorous fantasy, a dragon whose three heads bear rather . . . different personalities finds family in the most unexpected of places.
From the Nebula-winning author of Someone You Can Build A Nest In!
Garrodigh was once a four-headed dragon, among the most powerful in Kardoša. After an unfortunate incident, he now has three heads, one stump, and a daily whirlwind of internal bickering. Centerhead wants to rain death upon all humanity, Bottomhead is like a feral cat, and Upperhead is under the delicate delusion that he is, in fact, human.
When a nearby battle goes awry, Garrodigh sneaks into an elite dragon rider academy, pretending to be tame to get free food and a warm bed. Lucky for him, rider Rania Albright is desperate enough for a dragon of her own that she overlooks his eccentricities.
As Garrodigh recovers under Rania's care, all three heads start to turn, for the first time, in the same direction. Each wants to protect her from the invaders who killed their fourth head-the same invaders who seek to conquer Kardoša. When the academy comes under attack, can this wild dragon and his wilder rider save their homeland together?
This cozy fantasy intertwines epic battles with loving friendships, sharing an utterly unique perspective on what it means to be a 'monster.'
