The Cuckoo's Lea
A BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025‘Magical … No journey in Britain will be quite the same again.’ The GuardianBirds have long inspired our emotional and imaginative connections to physical environments, but where did it all begi? idden in the names of English towns and villages, in copses, fields, lanes and hills, are the ghostly traces of birds conjuring powerful identities for people in ancient landscapes. What are their stories and secrets? How did people encounter birds over a thousand years ago? In The Cuckoo’s Lea, Michael J. Warren sets out on the trail of these ghosts. Captivated and guided by the secrets of place names, he finds their stories entangled with his own explorations of places through birds all across England. The past is hauntingly and movingly present on timeless marshes where curlews cry, where goshawks are breeding again for the first time in centuries, through silent cuckoo-woods lost under concrete sprawl, in the winter roosts of corvids and an owl village that vanished centuries ago. Weaving together early literature, history and ornithology, this book takes readers on a journey far into the past to contemplate the nature of place and to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply to us now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone.

But when Lydia inexplicably sickens and dies, a dark veil falls. As the funeral rites are performed, Odette's aunt, the cold and implacable Claudine, increasingly takes charge of the household, while her father retreats to his study.

A Sense of Occasion
A death in the (dysfunctional) family – can they hold it together long enough to organise the funeral?'Sexy, terrifying, keen and startling' DAISY JOHNSON'At once shrewd and ethereal' CHRIS KRAUS'A rare, funny novel' NICOLA DINANWhen Mary dies, Patch can barely keep track of her mother’s journey from the hospital to the mortuary, let alone host a wake in her childhood home. Mary's ex Robin wants to support his daughter but, but instead of acting like a responsible father, he heads to his former haunt: the lay-by where he used to meet farmers for sex. Jude is en route. She hasn't spoken to her cousin Patch in almost a year, and would rather stay in Naples, but she's hoping that her attendance will mean that past behaviour is forgiven. Thrown together in Mary’s tiny house, each of them is trying to feel something: to grieve, atone, join in, be better. But they rarely have one another’s best interests at heart, and as the connections between them twist and contort, they lose sight of the rules and grasp towards anything that might make it all less painful.

The Door-to-Door Poet
A madcap literary mission across England‘A book that knocks on doors of language, of possibility, of love and of humanity. Open your door and let this book in ... it’s as though the angel of poetry has written a knock knock joke that finds its way to your heart’ Ian McMillanWhat would you do if a stranger knocked on your door and offered to write you a poe? owan McCabe wanted to find out. In doing so, he became the world’s first Door-to-Door Poet. He banged on people’s doors and asked what was important to them. He then went away and wrote a poem about it, free of charge, which he brought back and performed on their doorstep. Rowan tried the project with his neighbours in Newcastle upon Tyne. Emboldened to find that nobody punched him in the face, he then set out on a tour of England, knocking on the doors of Moss Side in Manchester, Jaywick in Essex, the remote island of Lundy and many places in between. This book is a funny and uplifting account of that journey. It tells the stories of the residents Rowan met and is punctuated by the thoughtful and often laugh-out-loud poetry that he wrote for them. The Door-to-Door Poet is a joyful and compelling portrayal of one very unusual mission and the many and varied voices that make up a nation.
Suing the Kremlin
Vladimir Putin came to power by destroying the Russian oligarchs, the entrepreneurs who grew rich during Russia’s chaotic transition from communism and exercised unseemly influence over the government of Boris Yeltsin. Putin confiscated their companies and used the profits to build the Kremlin’s war chest for the invasion of Ukraine. He and his cronies siphoned off billions for themselves. Drawing on exclusive interviews and explosive new material, in Suing the Kremlin Martin Sixsmith tells the astonishing story of what happened to the men Putin dispossessed. Some were sent to labour camps, forced into exile or murdered. Some attempted to fight back, but with no success. Yet for the past twenty years, a small, determined team of legal experts based in London has been pursuing Putin and his rogue state through courts across the globe. Acting on behalf of Group Menatep – the holding company founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia’s wealthiest oligarch – they have set out to reclaim this vast stolen fortune and to prove that even the most powerful men in the world are not beyond the reach of international law.
William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll
'If you simply follow Burroughs through the rock 'n' roll years you'll see him achieve a flickering ubiquity - lurking here, eavesdropping there, photobombing the whole parade. It becomes a kind of alternative history' NEW YORK TIMESReissued with a new Foreword as part of White Rabbit's prestigious Deep Cuts series, William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll tells the story of a man Patti Smith described as 'up there with the pope' through the prism of his impact on pop music. William S. Burroughs's fiction and essays are legendary, but his influence on music's counterculture has been less well documented - until now. Examining how one of America's most controversial literary figures altered the destinies of many notable and varied musicians, William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll reveals the transformations in music history that followed in his wake. 'Casey Rae's book is a labour of love that offers a map to understanding Burroughs' complex relationship to music and other art forms' CHRIS STEIN, co-founder of BLONDIE

Legacy Letters
Most people think a great life is built on big moments. It isn't. A great life is built on small decisions made consistently over time. A missed priority here. A neglected relationship there. Too much pressure. Too little margin. Over time, those small choices quietly shape the direction of a life. But there is another way to live. After decades of leadership, raising a family, and helping people navigate life's biggest decisions, Chris Hodges discovered something that changes everything: The quality of your life is determined by the principles that guide it. Principles simplify decisions. Principles steady you in difficult seasons. Principles help you build a life that lasts. In Legacy Letters, a practical and deeply personal book, Hodges shares the timeless principles that have shaped his life, leadership, relationships, and legacy. These aren't theories or motivational slogans. They are lessons learned through real life—through mentors, mistakes, family, and decades of walking alongside people through the highs and lows of life. This book is designed to be read one principle a day for 30 days, giving you a clear framework for building a better life. Then you'll spend the rest of the year putting those principles into practice—because principles are not meant to be memorized, they are meant to be lived. Inside, you'll discover powerful principles such as:The Big Rocks Principle — start life right by putting first things firstThe Calendar Principle — take control of your schedule before something else doesThe Compounding Principle — small daily disciplines create extraordinary results over timeThe Margin Principle — create breathing room so pressure doesn't control your lifeThe Who Principle — the people around you shape the future ahead of youThe Green-Grass Principle — the best relationships are the ones you invest inThe Goldmine Principle — learn to see the potential in peopleThe Orchestra Principle — life works better when it's built around “we” instead ofThe Significance Principle — the greatest life is the one that helps others win Filled with memorable phrases, practical wisdom, and honest stories from a life of leadership, Legacy Letters will help you:Make wiser decisionsBuild stronger relationshipsCreate margin and clarity in a crowded worldFocus your time on what matters mostLeave a legacy that lasts Because methods change. Trends change. Circumstances change. But principles never do. Live by the right principles, and you won't just succeed. You'll build a life that truly works.

She helps you leave behind resentment and anxiety and begin to:Understand why the mental load primarily falls on women and how it impacts sexual desireShare perspectives, expectations, ownership, and accountabilityUse actionable plans for divvying up tasks and teaching the next generation how to share the mental load Through research and stories based on real couples, A Better Share guides you out of the endless stress and resentment cycle and into a relationship where sharing is caring, having fun together is a priority, and great sex isn't a thing of the past.
