Wifehouse
"Je suis femme maison."
"You are a wifehouse? Oh, a housewife. Je suis une femme au foyer."
"Wow, that actually sounds worse in French. Let's go with je suis mere."
He is drenched in youth, this young man, she thinks. He is soaked in all its possibilities.
Following years of a life lived as a wife and mother, Annie is gifted French lessons with twenty-six-year-old local French tutor, Thierry. As time passes and the lessons progress, she finds herself unexpectedly vulnerable to the charms of a man closer in age to her teenage daughter than to her own. A new life for Annie emerges, one she could never have foreseen . . .
Told over the course of one year through the shifting perspectives of wife, husband, lover, best friend and children, Walger paints a contradictory, nuanced portrait of a woman who walks away from every role that tradition and society have expected of her.

Going Off the Rails
A fascinating guide to early train disasters, illustrated through contemporary postcards and explained expertly by John Hannavy. The track record of Britain’s railways in the early 20th century was not a good one – in 1909, a report titled ‘General Report to the Board of Trade upon the Accidents that have occurred on the Railway of the United Kingdom during the year 1908’, was published, concluding that over 1,000 people had died on the railways during the year, and nearly 8,000 others had been injured. With the Edwardian era marking the heyday of the photographic postcard, many of the accidents which occurred were photographed in often-graphic detail and, in the days before photographs in newspapers became commonplace, postcards disseminated those news pictures rapidly across the world. John Hannavy is a writer, photographer and historian, with a lifelong fascination for both postcards and railway history.

Tears for England
Tears for England is the story of the last 50 years of England’s football team observed through the eyes of a journalist and obsessive fan. It interweaves the team’s fortunes with the author’s life story, starting with his first memories of football in the mid-1970s. From Keegan’s miss in 1982 and Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ in 1986, to the 2018 penalty shoot-out triumph and Ollie Watkins’s semi-final winner in Euro 2024, it chronicles England’s occasional triumphs and frequent woes, showing why football is so important and the imprint it has on our national psyche. The author has a journalist’s eye for a story, yet is at heart a fan who never stops dreaming, and who, through life’s up and downs, successes and disasters, finds his mind constantly tracking back to that miss by Paul Gascoigne in 1996, Kane’s ballooned penalty against France in 2022, and many other ‘if only’ moments. Tears for England is a glorious page-turner for football fans, young and old, and a fascinating read for those keen to understand why England football matters so much.

Mental Illness
Mental illness touches nearly every life in some capacity. More than 10% of the world''s population is personally affected by a mental disorder at any given moment in time, and some estimates indicate that more than a third of us will have a diagnosable mental disorder at some point in our lives. Yet, mental illnesses impact more than just those with the disorder; they also exact a heavy toll on family, friends, colleagues, and caregivers, as well as society at large. In fact, five of the top ten most debilitating and costly diseases in the world are mental disorders. As such, mental illnesses pose an enormous and unique public health problem; to effectively combat this problem everyone needs to know the basics. Mental Illness: What Everyone Needs to Know® reflects the massive efforts being made by scientists and clinicians to better understand and treat mental disorders. In turn, more of this new knowledge must get into the hands of consumers of mental-health services and the public at large. This book bridges this gap by distilling the deep and intimate knowledge held by mental health researchers and professionals into easily digestible facts for the lay audience.

A Reed Shaken with the Wind
Reveals the environmental and historical pressures shaping an essential stretch of land and water in the American West A Reed Shaken with the Wind tells the story of the Bear River Marsh, freshwater and sheltered grasslands on the northeast end of the Great Salt Lake with a complex past. Despite being one of Utah’s most renowned hunting and birdwatching locations, the marsh today holds only a shadow of its former ecological vitality. Tracing the marsh from its creation during the last ice age to its current status as an imperiled national wildlife refuge, Andrew Hedges draws on geology, ecology, archaeology, wildlife biology, and water resource management to explore the natural and human forces that shaped the marsh and contributed to its decline. Covering Indigenous relationships with land, market economies’ impacts, and the intersection of ecology, science, and politics in establishing the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, this volume deepens discussions of humanity’s place in the environment and efforts to restore balance with our planet.

Persevered
If you think you know what mental health during and after pregnancy looks like, Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir will make you reconsider. Dr. Kara Zivin offers a rare, unfiltered look at what happened when a respected mental health researcher faced her own grave battle with depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy. This book is a raw personal account of surviving the darkest moments of new motherhood while juggling high expectations at home and at work. Zivin takes the reader on an intimate and eye-opening journey that weaves together her perinatal medical records, journal entries, research, and imperfect memories. The story unfolds across hospital rooms, the author’s home, and the university where she works, highlighting the complexity of holding on to one’s identity when everything feels uncertain. Zivin writes with striking honesty about the confusion, guilt, and isolation that so many mothers experience alone but rarely admit to others. Her willingness to lay bare her struggles and her gradual journey toward hope and recovery makes every page feel authentic and deeply relatable. Persevered moves beyond one woman’s survival, breaking the silence that still surrounds maternal mental health. Zivin’s story reminds us that reaching out, sharing our experiences, and demanding better support can make a difference, not just for mothers but for families and communities. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, anyone who has supported a loved one through challenging times, or anyone who believes that honest storytelling can spark real change.
Kicking
As a poet, public-facing scholar of sports politics, and former professional soccer player, having represented the United States on the men’s U23 national soccer team, Jules Boykoff draws on his lifetime of athletic experience to reflect on the practice of kicking. With short vignettes blending the personal, the reflective, the historical, and the analytical, Kicking is uniquely positioned to reflect on the most popular sport in the world. From the act of kicking a soccer ball, Boykoff looks outward to his own family history, including his mother’s struggle with polio, which fed her insistence on his athleticism; to broader trends like greenwashing and sportwashing; and to reflections on sport’s toxic masculinity, the poetics of on-field revenge, and the power-politics of both the men’s and women’s World Cups. Kicking is a must-read for all those who love the beautiful game.
