The ADHD Sleep Book
Perfect for the increasingly diagnosed and underdiagnosed, this book fills a crucial market gap with specific and humane sleep advice. It's time for traditional sleep advice to truly consider the neurodivergent mind. If you've ever been called 'lazy' for struggling to wake up 'on time'If you think that sleep is boring when there's so much on your mind.
If you're convinced that sleep advice just doesn't work for you. READ THIS BOOK!
Awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity is growing rapidly, with diagnoses increasing and many more recognising symptoms without formal diagnosis. But when it comes to sleep, it is common to spread the same advice - go to bed earlier, wind down, cut screen time - without considering the uniqueness of the individual.
With research showing that up to 75% of individuals with ADHD experience chronic sleep difficulties, it is clear that sleep is central, not peripheral, to the neurodivergent mind. Yet many of us are stuck in the same shame-spirals- feeling like tiredness around a rigid 9-5 schedule is a moral failure, convinced that we're lazy, have poor discipline or can't get the hang of circadian clocks that seem to work for everyone. Yet no one is talking about the real solution- sleep advice should consider how the ADHD brain actually works - not how it should work.
The ADHD Sleep Book offers empowering rest and recovery strategies that start with you. By understanding the latest science behind sleep and neurodivergent wellbeing - from differences in melatonin levels, delayed sleep phases and hyperarousal at night - this book offers a compassionate and tailored pathway towards a restful night. Through relatable scenarios and drawing on the interventions Heather Darwall-Smith has used as a therapist and sleep specialist to help herself and her clients, this book will leave you feeling understood, empowered and equipped for realistic change.
The 21st Century Brain
How do we nurture our own and our children's brains so we have the resilience to thrive during the coming wave of technological, and societal change? How do we keep up in the face of AI?
Neuroscientist Dr. Hannah Critchlow takes readers on an empowering journey through the fascinating landscape of the latest neuroscience research and deep into their own intelligence. It is human skills curiosity, compassion, communication, courage and creativity that will provide the answer to the challenges ahead. We should lean into our collaborative skills, our ability to intuit and to think long-term, to adapt and to focus.
Dr. Critchlow explores how we build collective wisdom, and how we best fuel our brains.
In a book filled with stories of pioneering research and case studies, and with advice and brain exercises, she shows us how to navigate the coming decades with informed confidence.
How to Fake It in Society
Nicolas-Marc, Comte de Valois de La Motte, is making a splash in Society. The son of a French noblewoman wrongly convicted for a notorious crime, he hopes to restore his mother's reputation, if only he can raise the funds. Or, at least, that's his story.
Titus Pilcrow, an unassuming shopkeeper, accidentally married an immensely wealthy woman on her deathbed.
Now possessed of a fortune, he's the target of every conman and beggar in London. Including Nico.
Broke and desperate, Nico latches on to Titus. It's his big chance to get rich-until he falls in love with the man he needs to cheat.
Still, Nico is sure they can have a happy ending together. If he can just find a way out of his own web of lies . . .
Empire of AI
An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAI
When longtime AI expert and journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces.
But the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the 'compute' power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground 'cleaning it up' for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down.
In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.
Liberal Fascisms
With an apparently contradictory and characteristically makeshift term, ‘Liberal Fascisms’, Slavoj Žižek captures the paradoxical nature of political populism.
To see this phenomenon as purely liberal and dictatorially fascistic is to expose liberalism and fascism as two sides of the same coin. The concept offers a glimpse into the murky landscape of half-lies and double-truths that Žižek enters in this latest collection of urgent essays.
From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascisms, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the singular: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump’s America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us – like ‘post-truth– to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of hypocrisy, self-deception and what is real that have always been stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another.
With no cure in hand, but a refusal to dispense with thought that is muddled and murky, these interventions are both timely and resolute. From the so-called death of truth opens up the possibility for a new authentic truth… or for an even bigger lie. And ultimately we must ask – what forms of justice are made possible by this disorder?
Liberal Fascisms is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

Právo finančného trhu, 2. vydanie
Orientovať sa v hustej spleti verejnoprávnej regulácie a regulačných orgánov na finančnom trhu je pomerne zložité. Učebnica „Právo finančného trhu“ predstavuje v súčasnosti najkomplexnejšie a najaktuálnejšie právnické dielo svojho druhu v tejto oblasti, pričom pokrýva všeobecnú aj osobitnú časť regulácie finančného trhu a tvorí tak „maják“ v regulácii finančných služieb. Systematizuje heterogénnu právnu reguláciu, prepája ekonomický pohľad na finančný trh s právnou normotvorbou a poskytuje výklad k subjektom, nástrojom a funkciám finančného trhu, metódam jeho regulácie, pričom neopomína ani výklad všeobecných ako aj osobitných regulačných princípov. V osobitnej časti obsahuje detailný výklad sektorovej regulácie poskytovania finančných služieb podľa jednotlivých sektorov finančného trhu (banky, poisťovne, kapitálový trh, platobné služby, dôchodkové sporenie, finančné sprostredkovanie, FinTech inovácie a ďalšie), európsku architektúru dohľadu (ESMA, EBA, EIOPA, SSM, SRM, AMLA) a aktuálne cezhraničné trendy a harmonizačné výzvy. Výklad v texte reflektuje na viaceré recentné komplexné regulácie EÚ, napríklad pre oblasť kryptoaktív, crowdfundingu alebo ESG. Zároveň, okrem sektorového „hard law“, zohľadňuje aj metodiku („soft law“) regulačných autorít vo vybraných oblastiach a súvisiacu národnú a európsku judikatúru. Publikáciu ocenia predovšetkým študenti právnických a ekonomických fakúlt. Keďže ide o titul presahujúci rámec tradičnej vysokoškolskej učebnice, jej adresátmi sú aj odborníci pôsobiaci vo finančných inštitúciách, u regulátorov, advokáti a právni konzultanti pôsobiaci v oblasti finančných služieb, ako aj akademickí pracovníci. Publikáciu možno považovať za základný referenčný text na nasledujúcich 5 – 10 rokov, pričom sa svojím rozsahom aj kvalitou približuje vo vybraných témach k monografickej literatúre.

Tank Battles of the Cold War, 1948–1991
As Anthony Tucker-Jones shows in this highly illustrated, wide-ranging history, for most of the Cold War the tank retained its pre-eminence on the battlefield. The Arab-Israeli wars witnessed some of the biggest tank battles of all time, and tanks played key roles in conflicts in Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan as well as in the Iran-Iraq War and the wars fought between India and Pakistan. But then in the mid-1960s anti-tank weapons became ever deadlier and the Mechanised Infantry Fighting Vehicle (MIFV), which was designed to support infantry and fight tanks, emerged and the heyday of the tank was over.Chapters cover each major phase in the evolution of the tank and of tank warfare during the period, from the battles fought in the late 1940s and 1950s with Second World War armoured vehicles like the T-34 and the Sherman, through to the designs common in the 1960s and 1970s like the T-55, Centurion, Challenger and M60 Patton, to the confrontation between the M1 Abrams and the T-72 during the Gulf War in 1991. Technical and design developments are important elements throughout the story, but so are dramatic changes in tactics and armaments which mean the tank has an increasingly uncertain role in modern warfare.

Quiet Protest
A new history of protest told through quiet activism. The Vietnam War sparked the largest public demonstrations Australia had ever seen. Hundreds of thousands of citizens actively opposed the war in the 1960s and 70s. Quiet Protest uncovers a hidden side of this movement, telling the story of activism that was powered by letter-writing, legal aid, fundraising and everyday conversations. The public anti-Vietnam War protest movement was unprecedented, but so was the ‘quieter’ movement. By focusing on the anti-Vietnam War movement in NSW, this book offers a case study which re-imagines our understanding of protest.These quieter acts of dissent reshaped political engagement and laid the groundwork for future movements – from feminist organising to climate justice. Historian Effie Karageorgos offers a captivating new perspective on what it means to protest, and who gets remembered.
Tombstones of Roman Britain

What can we learn from these lasting monuments to the dead?

New clear translations of the inscriptions introduce these memorials to modern readers, and a handy guide at the end also equips readers with the tools for decoding common Latin funerary abbreviations for themselves.

The Battle for Brittany
In a swift campaign the Third US Army conquered the Brittany peninsula in August 1944. The German forces in Brittany had been herded into Lorient, St Nazaire, and Brest, where they could only await American siege operations. Despite these achievements, the Brittany campaign had not yet secured the basic strategic objectives that had motivated it: the capture of harbours. St Malo was destroyed beyond hope of immediate repair and Nantes was demolished as well. At the end of the month, as the VIII Corps gathered its forces for a mighty effort to take Brest, the development of the breakout in Normandy and the pursuit beyond the Seine made the logistical planners start to look elsewhere for major ports of entry. The VIII Corps faced a dogged defence at Brest and it took six weeks of fighting to obtain the final surrender of Generalleutnant Ramcke on September 19. American casualties in the Battle of Brittany totalled 9,831; prisoners and the taken numbered 38,000, of whom more than 20,000 were combat troops. On September 13, after the extent of the reconstruction and works necessary to rehabilitate the harbour at Brest had been looked at, it was decided to abandon all repair work there. The serious Allied problem of port capacity persisted until November, when the Antwerp facilities became available. The charge was later made that the employment of three divisions and valuable transports and supplies to defeat the German garrison at Brest adversely affected pursuit operations beyond the Seine. However, it should be noted that the resources used at Brest were quite small compared to the main effort and could hardly have changed the development of the advance towards the Seine and beyond. Told through more than a hundred ‘Then and Now’ comparison photographs that bring history to life, this book tells the story of the long siege of Festung Brest. By pinpointing for the first time, the locations where so many photographs were taken, this book will allow the reader to walk in the footsteps of the heroes of this great moment in history.
In the Shadow of the Ripper
For centuries, it was believed that a corpse would ‘bleed anew’ in the presence of its murderer. Chaucer wrote about it; so did Shakespeare. Only slowly, as the Renaissance and the Age of Reason drove away the shadows of superstition, did forensic science find its feet. From the Ratlciffe Highway murders of 1811 to the first murder trial with fingerprint technology (the Stratton brothers in 1905), In the Shadow of the Ripper charts the grisly history of crime and focuses on the technological developments that brought real justice just a little closer. General practitioners, police surgeons, anatomists, chemists and many others argued with each other in spectacular cases like the Ripper murders in 1888, the poisonings of William Palmer, Florence Maybrick and the axe frenzy of Lizzie Borden. And if the expert witnesses disagreed, how were juries, ‘twelve men and true’, with no scientific knowledge supposed to come to a verdict at a murder tria? oday, we take forensic science with all its brilliance for granted. In the Shadow of the Ripper looks at how it all began. The Ripper case is a shining example of the fact that it does not matter how many forensic advances are made, a killer in the shadows can sometimes outwit the police and science for over 135 years … and counting.
