The Turing Protocol
Humanity's best kept secret may be its best hope for survival.
In the midst of World War Two, Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing finds himself on the brink of a discovery that will change the world: a way to send a message back into the recent past. But when his invention successfully averts disaster on D-Day, the danger it poses in the wrong hands becomes terrifyingly clear. As Turing's enemies close in, only one decision is possible: Nautilus must be kept hidden from the world, safe in the care of the only person he can trust.
Seventy-five years later, Annabelle McIntosh's life is upended when she learns she will become the latest custodian of the greatest secret of the modern age - Turing's Nautilus machine. Following in her family's footsteps, and bound by Turing's strict principles governing the use of his creation, Annabelle is soon faced with the same impossible choices. Nautilus has the power to prevent catastrophe, but the wrong decision could have devastating consequences.
When the stakes are at their highest, will using the machine save the world - or destroy it?

What Stays and What Goes
More than a guide to tidying up, What Stays and What Goes is a call to realign your space with your spirit. With equal parts strategy and soul, Faith Roberson invites readers to reimagine home organization as an act of radical self-awareness—in releasing clutter we reflect our personal truth, values, and growth. Professional organizer Faith Roberson invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery through the art of home organization. Forget the traditional tidying trends you’ve seen before—Roberson’s innovative approach to “soul work” goes deeper, asking important questions, like “Is this really what I want, or is this what I think I should want?” and “Does my home reflect who I am?” Roberson’s method is holistic, blending the practical act of organizing with emotional considerations. She shows how to shed unnecessary belongings and create spaces that nurture your emotional well-being and reflect your individuality. Packed with questionnaires, worksheets, and solutions to common organizational challenges, this book is a guide to transforming not just your home, but your beliefs about it. What Stays and What Goes also explores domesticity within a broader sociopolitical history, shedding light on how housework has been undervalued and often relegated to women. By unpacking these historical narratives, Roberson empowers readers to reclaim homemaking as a meaningful act of affirmation and self-care. With her warm and relatable voice, Roberson weaves in personal anecdotes and real-life client stories, illustrating how decluttering can lead to profound growth. What Stays and What Goes is your guide to creating a home—and a life—that is intentional.

Crime and Punishment
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.
'Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn?'
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov – an impoverished student drop-out and amateur philosopher – callously murders a pawnbroker in the slums of St Petersburg. Pursued by the law and his own ravaged conscience, Dostoyevsky’s iconic anti-hero spirals into crisis as the noose tightens, and everything he thought he knew about morality and sin is corrupted by his hideous act of violence.
In this psychological masterpiece of good and evil, Dostoyevsky questions what murder does to the soul and whether redemption is possible. One of the great works of world literature, Crime and Punishment is an epic of human nature, guilt and salvation.

The Edge of Space-Time
In her highly acclaimed debut, distinguished cosmologist and particle physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shared with her audience an abiding sense of wonder at the cosmos, while imagining a world without the entrenched injustice that plagues her field. Now, in The Edge of Space-Time, she embraces that cosmic wonder, taking readers on a mind-altering journey to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time and about ourselves.
Guided by her conviction that for humanity to go forward we must know our cosmic past, Prescod-Weinstein renders accessible some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics and draws on poetry and popular culture—from Queen Latifah to Lewis Carroll to Big K.R.I.T. to Sun Ra and Star Trek— to tell fascinating stories about the fundamental quantum nature of space-time and everything inside of it. Here we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy, explore the inner workings of black holes, investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity, and map out the meeting place of the unimaginably vast with the confoundingly small, following our guide out to the far reaches of the particle horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino. Prescod-Weinstein shows us how spending time with the cosmos is a vital human activity that enriches all our lives. Along the way, she calls on us to resist colonial approaches to space exploration and instead imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity's undeniable connection with the stars.
Through Prescod-Weinstein's clear-eyed and unique perspective, and informed by her deep knowledge of post-colonial history and Black feminist thought, The Edge of Space-Time argues that physics is an essential way for everyone to look at the universe and presents a compelling case that "the edge" is a powerful vantage point from which to see the big picture.
