Returns and Exchanges
Following her ‘dazzling’ (The Guardian) debut, The Animators, Kayla Rae Whitaker tells the sweeping story of one Southern family’s rise and fall throughout the 1980s, a tragicomic tour de force about love and marriage, parents and children, and the promise and limitations of the American Dream. Baker-Taylor’s is a family business. Fran (née Baker) and Fred Taylor run a successful chain of discount retail stores in Kentucky and they’re cautiously expanding: Ataris and Hot Wheels, new branches and new management. With four healthy children and financial stability their own parents could have only dreamed of, Fred and Fran are the American dream: rags to riches, a family dynasty built on years of hard work and long hours. Underneath the surface, however, the business is changing at a breakneck pace, and each family member is struggling to keep up. Money is transforming Fred, and the extremes to which he will go to fit in with the high society crowd are embarrassing, if not downright dangerous. Oldest son Josiah wants nothing to do with the family business, Sam is seeing things that might not really be there, and Benny and Birdie are growing up with a fraction of the parenting that their older brothers did. Meanwhile, Fran, her family’s stable core, is falling for Wendy, a cashier at Baker- Taylor’s, risking everything along the way. While trying to maintain the facade of a perfect success story, Fred and Fran discover that in matters of love and money, once it’s gone, it’s gone — no returns, no exchanges.
From Ritual to God in the Ancient Near East
Human belief systems and practices can be traced to ca. 10,000 BCE in the Ancient Near East, where the earliest evidence of ritual structures and objects can be found. Religious architecture, the relics of human skeletons, animal symbolism, statues, and icons all contributed to a complex network into which the spiritual essence of the divine was materially present. In this book, Nicola Laneri traces the transformation of the belief systems that shaped life in ancient Near Eastern communities, from prehistoric times until the advent of religious monotheism in the Levant during the first millennium BCE. Considering a range of evidence, from stone ceremonial enclosures, such as as Göbleki Tepe, to the construction of the first temples and icons of Mesopotamian polytheistic beliefs, to the Temple of Jerusalem, the iconic center of Israelite monotheism, Laneri offers new insights into the symbolic value embodied in the religious materiality produced in the ancient Near East.

Don't Brake My Heart
Love is a long game…Down-and-out after retiring from cycling to ‘get a real job’, Leesa Kubicka just wants to forget about her years on the elite team, the races she mostly lost. Just her luck, her first real assignment at the sports marketing agency where she’s building a career takes her right back to everything she wanted to leave behind: cycling, the Tour de France and Colin Gallagher, the immature joker who’d enjoyed riling her up with stupid pranks – the guy she’d nearly kissed back in September. Much to her mortification, her job is now to make content with him before and during the Tour de France. His pranks and flirting – and distractingly deep voice – don’t make her job any easier, but she’s determined to impress her boss and earn the contract extension her bank account desperately needs. Leesa has always been Colin’s Achilles heel: beautiful, funny and completely immune to his rough charm. But now she’s here to witness the moment that will make or break his young career and all he wants to do is act out with her. It’s his last chance to prove he’s not just the idiot she thinks he is before she’s gone from his life forever. It’s time for Colin Gallagher to finally grow up and prove he’s worth the support of his team and sponsors – and maybe even Leesa’s heart.

Cyrus' and Maximillian's chemistry is electric. Who needs enemies-to-lovers when you have nemeses-to-lovers?!' Elizabeth Helen, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bonded by Thorns Once upon a time there lived the (annoyingly) perfect hero Maximillian – a champion with a blinding smile, muscles sculpted by the gods, and an infuriating dedication to all things noble and good. But this isn’t his story. Good is boring. Honour is overrated. This is the story of Cyrus, the kingdom’s most feared wrongdoer. Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy. But even Cyrus has to admit, keeping up a fearsome image is a lot of work. So, when that golden boy Maximillian offers a deal to fake a rivalry, Cyrus can't resist. A few staged battles, some public drama – it’s the perfect way to boost both their reputations. Sure, it means spending more time with his so-called ‘enemy’, but how hard could that be? Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him? Nope, that wasn’t supposed to happen.

Power Play
In Power Play, leading game industry expert George E. Osborn reveals how video games - the world's largest entertainment medium - are being used by autocrats, populists and violent extremists to influence the real world around us.
Video games are the world's largest entertainment medium. They are played by billions of people of all ages every year, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue.
But they are more than an entertainment product. They connect people across the globe, creating digital third places where people talk, share ideas and build identities, fostering diverse communities capable of dominating the digital discourse now shaping our reality.
While democracies continue to underestimate the potential for influence in this space, others have seized the opportunity to control, co-opt or collaborate with video game communities to wield the power of these vast information ecosystems.
Saudi Arabia is spending tens of billions of dollars acquiring video games businesses to wash its reputation. Russia has funded video game development to help spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine. Steve Bannon utilised tactics deployed by online video game communities to propel Donald Trump into the White House, and Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin even carved video game references into his bullets.
Supported by the insights of politicians, academics and industry experts, Power Play is the vital guide for understanding this new political frontier, highlighting what democracies must do to protect and harness the immense power of play before the essential battle for digital influence is lost for good.
