Robin Hood 10: War and Peas (Robert Muchamore's Robin Hood)
'Intensely readable, outrageously enjoyable action.' - GuardianThe tenth and final explosive episode in the latest sure-fire hit series from the bestselling author of Cherub. Teen rebel and social-media star Robin Hood is in exile in Holland, limited to public campaigning for the rebel cause. In the meantime, the Sherwood Forest rebels have been waging a long bitter war against President Marjorie Kovacevic's troops. And hundreds of thousands of civilians, women and children, have been locked up in squalid open-air prisons. But if the President wants to remain in power, she must do whatever it takes to completely destroy the rebels in Sherwood Forest. Robin gets a chance to rejoin the rebels and is smuggled in a hair-raising sea crossing to team up with his old band once more. His plan to destroy a military weapons factory turns into a plot to foment a popular uprising and stage a massive prison breakout. Soon a last-ditch effort to break the deadlock of never-ending fighting and oppression is gaining momentum like an out-of-control rollercoaster. The stakes could not be higher. What ensues is the mother of all battles that reaches a cataclysmic finale in which the outcome remains on a knife edge until the very last page.
Solo
Outside she is a shy little girl, but inside are magic worlds and rocket submarines. Discover the power of the introvert. It’s fun to be part of a busy, whizzy crowd. Sometimes, when things are noisy, do you long for the space and quiet that lets your imagination flow? Get ready for Solo to take you on an adventure where we discover being alone is not the same as being lonely, and you should not judge an introvert by her cover! We can guess Solo is an introvert through her name, but you can see from her bright yellow coat that she’s also strong and independent. She isn’t lonely: she enjoys being alone. Jesse is a classic extrovert who immediately asks Solo to play, but he also has emotional intelligence, working out quickly that Solo is overwhelmed. When he finds her again, they create a special place where the two are friends who perfectly compliment each other. Clark uses colour and shape to perfectly express the complexity of each character and show us the story instead of just telling.

Religion, Dissonance, and Systems Theory
Religious belief systems are often marked by internal dissonance. Mitigating this dissonance can lead to surprising religious phenomena, including blood libels, scapegoating, religious violence, the worship of saints and martyrs, asceticism, austerities, as well as processions, fasting, and clowning. In this study, Ariel Glucklich provides a new approach to understanding how religious actions emerge in the context of belief systems. Providing an innovative psychological and social understanding of the causes that stimulate believers to action, he examines a range of religious phenomena in India, Israel, Austria, Italy, and the United States. Glucklich's new theory enables recognition of the patterns that account for the full complexity of actions inspired by religious beliefs and systems. His systematic comparison of actions across traditional boundaries offers a novel approach to cause and effect in comparative religion and religious studies more broadly. Glucklich's book also generates new questions regarding a universal phenomenon that has escaped notice up to now.

How to Read Minds
'A beautifully observed exploration of what it really means to understand another person' EMMA REED TURRELL 'Sharp, funny and brilliant – a book that needed to be written' DR CAMILLA PANG ________________________________ What is true empathy? The classic stereotype of autistic people is that they can’t empathise, that they’re highly intellectual but find it difficult to connect. As an autistic psychotherapist who empathises for a living, Aimee Cliff knew that this wasn’t right. Empathy is something you do, not something you are – meaning it’s something we can all get better at, if we choose to practise. Drawing on the latest scientific research, her clinical experience and interviews with a wide range of neurodivergent people, Cliff examines how empathy works in the brain and body, and lays out five pillars that allow anyone to practise empathy. She finds that empathy is humble, empathy is embodied, empathy is amoral, empathy is radical, and empathy is work. How to Read Minds offers a new idea of empathy with a more radical and expansive definition. For real empathy fights against constrictive stereotypes and dares to imagine something new. It has the potential to connect and liberate humans across our differences. This wise, humane and quietly life-changing book considers how to understand each other, how to care for and love each other, in a timeless examination of questions that affect us all. ‘Clear-eyed, forensic and humane’ Sophie Walker, author of Five Rules for Rebellion

The Art of the Book
In 1949 Walter and Eva Neurath founded Thames & Hudson with a clear aim: to create a 'museum without walls' through books that would make art and scholarship accessible to all. This volume - the most comprehensive history of an illustrated publisher ever undertaken - tells through its books the history of a progressive, groundbreaking company that, 75 years later, remains true to those core founding ideals. The story of Thames & Hudson is the story of the illustrated book.
This special publication, divided into three chronological chapters, provides a comprehensive delve into the company's history. An introduction and three essays by historian Anna Nyburg take us from its origins in Vienna on the cusp of the Second World War to the 1960s and a change in management, and to the new millennium and beyond. Thames & Hudson's rich output of groundbreaking and award-winning titles - ranging across the subjects of art, archaeology and architecture; history, design, photography and fashion - is celebrated in stunning pictorial spreads, as beautiful and compelling as the books themselves.
The Art of the Book will be a valuable resource for those interested in the history of bookmaking and T&H's impact over the years, and a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone with an appreciation for the art and evolution of publishing.
Birds, Sex and Beauty
In his new book, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley looks to the peculiar mating rituals of birds to better understand the rich origins and ongoing significance of Darwin's sexual selection theory.
Animals rarely treat sex as a simple or mutually beneficial transaction. Choosing a mate is often a transcendent event to be approached with reverence, suspicion, angst and quite a bit of violence. For Matt Ridley, nowhere is this more acute than in birds.
From a freezing hide on the Pennine moors at dawn, Ridley closely studies the rare Black Grouse. He is there for the lek - an elaborate courtship ritual of squabbling and strutting males. They dance and sing for hours each day to attract a mate over several months. With most males leaving exhausted and unsuccessful, Ridley looks at how females make their choice to cast fresh light on how such rituals have evolved and why.
His pursuit follows five generations of biologists from Darwin and Wallace to the present day, uncovering how they have grappled with the implications of sexual selection as an eccentric, gonzo form of evolution. While most Victorian scientists found it impossible to believe female birds could select mates, Darwin was obsessed with the idea of sexual as well as natural selection.
Drawing on his own lifelong passion, Ridley eavesdrops on the elaborate displays of bird species around the world, from the complex art installations made by Bowerbirds in Australia to the bubbling calls of Curlews in the UK's declining moorlands. In a wonderful blend of nature writing and elegant exploration of recent evolutionary theory, Birds, Sex and Beauty shows not only how mate choice has shaped the natural world, including humans, but how the song and plumage of birds can be thrillingly, breathtakingly beautiful.

The Postal Paths
''A fascinating exploration of routes trod by generations of rural postmen and women - lovingly told and lively.''-JACK CORNISH, author of The Lost Paths''A delightful exploration of one of our most important cultural figures in the community, the postman. Postal Paths journeys around the UK, unearthing forgotten stories... You will never look at a postman in the same way again.''-REBECCA SMITH, author of Rural: The Lives of the Working Class Countryside''Charming... Cleaver brings to the life the lives of those who served their communities.''-KIRAN SIDHU, author of I Can Hear The Cuckoo***Seeing the hills, the crofts, villages and ruins only tells half the story. The people who worked, walked, lived and died here are the other half.Postal paths span the length and breadth of Britain - from the furthermost corners of the Outer Hebrides to the isolated communities clinging to the cliffs of the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall. For over 200 years, postmen and women have delivered post to homes across Britain on foot, no matter how remote.A chance remark by a farmer about a Postman''s Path led Alan Cleaver on a quest to discover more about this network of lanes, short-cuts and footpaths in the British landscape. From the rolling fells of Cumbria to Kent''s shingle coast, he walked in the footsteps of 20th Century posties. And what he found, through conversation and painstaking research, was not just beautiful scenery. It was an incredible, forgotten slice of social history - the tales and toil of rural postmen and women trudging down lanes, over fields, and even across rivers to make sure the post always came on time.From women like Hannah Knowles, who began her job delivering letters in 1912 and would only miss three days through illness over the next 62 years of service, to a WW1 veteran who completed his 9-mile delivery route on one leg, Postal Paths paints a vivid picture of people who not only served communities but brought them together, one letter at a time.
