You Don't Have to Have a Dream
'Life will sometimes seem long and tough. And you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad. And then you'll be old. And then you'll be dead. There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence, and that is: fill it.'
A book for the romantic-realist in all of us, You Don't Have to Have a Dream offers Tim Minchin's inimitable thoughts and advice on life, art, success, kindness, love, and thriving in a meaningless universe. Drawn from three of his iconic commencement addresses, and beautifully designed with specially commissioned illustrations throughout, it's a rallying cry for creativity, critical thinking, and compassion in our daily lives.
It's never too late to put something beautiful out into the world.

From Life Itself
Pulitzer finalist Suzy Hansen chronicles the age of authoritarianism in Turkey - through an intimate portrait of its people
In the midst of a world in upheaval, Erdogan has remade Turkey in his own image. Once a shining portal that straddled East and West, Istanbul's streets now teem with nationalistic fervour, political repression and rampant corruption. And it's here, in the old Ottoman neighbourhood of Karagumruk, that Suzy Hansen goes looking for the truth about modern Turkey.
Through the lives of its inhabitants, Hansen shows how local conflicts are spiralling into regional crises, deepening the fault lines now fracturing Europe and the Middle East. A dazzling account of a nation on the frontlines of history, From Life Itself chronicles the rise of an autocrat, the resurrection of an empire - and the human stories unfolding in its shadow.
The Power and the Glory
The football World Cup is the most watched sporting event on the planet. It has become a global obsession: 211 nations initially entered the 2022 edition. It has been running for almost a century. Yet there has never been a comprehensive history of the World Cup that has considered not only the matches and goals, the players and coaches, the tales of scandal and genius, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, but has also placed the tournaments within a socio-political framework. The story of the World Cup is also the story of the world; this book tells its definitive history.
Twilight in Musashino
Musashino, 1959.
A young Japanese flight attendant is found strangled on the icy banks of the river. The police suspect foul play - but the deeper they dig, the more they collide with a wall of silence.
At the centre of it all stands a foreign priest and the Guglielmo Church, a charitable Christian mission. The dead woman's connection to the church is undeniable. But what begins as a routine investigation quickly turns into something far more treacherous, entangling together narcotics, post-war relief schemes and the delicate web of international diplomacy.
As the story moves from back alleys to diplomatic sanctuaries, following the twists and turns of Detective Fujisawa's investigation, Seicho Matsumoto masterfully constructs a slow-burning procedural where truth is clear but justice is not permitted.

Atlas of Botany
Plants first emerged on a very different looking Earth 500 million years ago. As land masses moved, plants were brought together in fierce competition with one another, or separated to continue their lives in very different conditions. On this evolutionary journey, they developed ingenious strategies to disperse and extend their range, and increase their diversity.
Plants have populated almost every part of Earth’s land surface – from tropical zones to cracks in city pavements – and have fundamentally shaped Earth's natural regions. Mapping the changing conditions and continents of the ancient world and the biomes of the modern one, Atlas of Botany explores how plants have overcome the challenges of survival, and how they have interacted with pollinators and people along the way.
In the pages of this sumptuous botanical book, you will discover:
• A unique blend of information that brings plant science, geography, nature, and human history together for an unparalleled view of plant life on Earth
• The intricate and sometimes bizarre ways that plants have adapted to live everywhere
• A detailed understanding of where plants come from and the conditions they prefer to grow in
Produced in association with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh this beautiful book combines the best elements of gardening books, science books, and nature books – featuring botanical illustrations, detailed photography, and clear, concise explanations – to tell the story of how plants evolved and survived – and continue to thrive.
The Dogs Gaze
What do dogs do in art? A dazzlingly original cultural history from the Cundill Prize-winning historian
Long before the phrase 'man's best friend' became common parlance, dogs were already standing beside us in art as in life. In The Dog's Gaze, the historian Thomas W. Laqueur invites us to explore why they feature more than any other animal in the ways in which we picture ourselves and our stories.
Dogs have been ubiquitous in the worldmaking of visual artists as far back as the Palaeolithic age. Looking across the western tradition, from Giotto to Goya and Rubens to Rego, Laqueur shows what their presence - as hunting partners, beloved friends and even conduits to the afterlife - reveals about our own ways of seeing and how we want to be remembered. Far from being mere motifs, dogs are an integral and intentional element of the images in which they appear: they provide narrative coherence; they look out and bear witness, often on the artist's behalf; they illuminate our understanding of morality and melancholy and some, like us, become celebrities. Indeed, as the author shows, dogs in art are our social doppelgängers, our companions in looking and being.
Richly illustrated and lovingly written, The Dog's Gaze is a unique visual history that examines the shared social history of our two species and offers fresh insights into the human condition through the eyes of our canine companions.
Clara & the Devil: Collection One
He’s tall, dark and infernal. She’s ready to be corrupted . . .
A deliciously dark tale of Faustian bargains and seduction, Clara & the Devil is a graphic novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Masters of Death, Olivie Blake and fan-favourite artist Little Chmura.
Clara thought she had the rest of her life figured out. But when an unusual tourist – tall, dark, and satanic – comes to town, Clara’s careful plans start to unravel fast. She thought she’d graduate college with the support of her best friend, Jonah. Then she’d marry her adoring boyfriend, work at her local library and settle down in her small seaside hometown. But now things seem far from simple.
And even while the stranger, who openly calls himself the devil, strikes up a situationship with Jonah, he continues to tempt Clara with reckless talk of power, ambition, and lust. Over the course of one sultry summer, tensions between Clara, Jonah and the devil mount to an intolerable degree. Clara is forced to confront the desires she’s kept secret her whole life, even from herself.
This mesmerizing, darkly romantic graphic novel kicks off a sultry series that explores artistry and power through the temptation of the seven deadly sins.
