Settled Unsettlements
Constitutional ambiguity has been an important enabler of European integration. Achim Hurrelmann argues that although this can cause problems, it often remains the best option for holding the European Union together and has shaped how the EU has responded to its recent crises. This book reinterprets European integration using the concept of “constitutional abeyances” – originally developed by Michael Foley and not previously applied to the EU – which are unresolved issues that political elites avoid politicizing to prevent conflict. Hurrelmann shows that it is a concept that can help us better understand the EU: what it is, how it works, why it sometimes does not work, and how it responds when crises hit. He shows that, although these strategies may be criticized, they ultimately have contributed to the EU’s resilience in face of the crises over the euro, migration and rule of law.
A Fish Like Me
In the spirit of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners and I Talk Like a River, this lyrical picture book from acclaimed author Jamie Sumner tells the story of a child in swim therapy and celebrates the ways differently abled bodies can move in the water.Under here, there is no top or bottom, no left or right— only fields of water to wander in as topsy-turvy as I like. Underwater, everything looks different—and every body moves differently, too. During swim therapy, a child discovers he can be anything: a catfish, a seahorse, a starfish cartwheeling across the universe. He finds the magic of moving in wholly new ways, just like he does on land in his trusty wheelchair.
Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing
*THE INCREDIBLE COMEBACK STORY OF THE 2025 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPION*Marc Márquez is the apex predator of the MotoGP world: arguably the greatest motorcycle racer who ever lived, he is a nine-time world champion. He is the man who dethroned Valentino Rossi, and who changed the sport of MotoGP forever. Márquez's hyper aggressive riding style has made him many enemies, his epic championship battle with Valentino Rossi in 2015 led to one of the most controversial moments in the history of MotoGP and his closely-fought battle with his brother, Alex, for the 2025 title capped off an astonishing sporting comeback story. But his story off the track is just as incredible: devastating accidents, surgeries and recoveries, racing on despite a diagnosis that left him knowing one more head injury could leave him blind. His self-admittedly ruthless personality and desire to win make him an explosive, dominant and at times controversial character. Told by bestselling author Stuart Barker, with the insight of rivals, team members, pundits, managers and many close to his story, this is the a story of pure sporting theatre and white-knuckle speed twinned with real human drama. Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing is the Márquez told in full for the very first time.
Master of Lies
'Brilliant . . . A great book' Rod Liddle'Utterly shocking. Blunt wasn't just an arch-traitor. He was a callous mass-murderer. A war criminal no less. And it's hard to say which is the greater sucker punch - Blunt's dark treachery, or the British establishment's cover up of his crimes. It is high time the truth was revealed. Blofeld's book does just that. Bravo' Damien Lewis'Epic . . . Blofeld analyses the horrifying consequences of Blunt's spy work for the Soviets and takes aim at the moral failings and cover-ups of the British establishment' Independent 'This is intelligence history as it should be written: rigorous, unsettling and startlingly readable. The narrative has the pace of a thriller yet the facts, however extraordinary, are allowed to speak for themselves. One can but gasp at Blunt's audacity, then laugh - incredulously - at the sheer Britishness of it all' The Rt Hon Lord Young of Old Windsor, GCB, GCVO, formerly Private Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II'Flawlessly researched and illuminating . . . reveals Anthony Blunt as an unbounded monster of treachery masquerading as the Establishment's pet intellectual' Nicky Haslam'In life, Anthony Blunt was the Cambridge spy who "got away with it". Forty years after his death, this riveting book exposes the extent of his betrayals, of his country and his friends. A gripping narrative and a must read' Dr Michael Reynolds, he founded and led the Counter-Terrorism section in Mi6, was an Assistant Director of Mi5 before co-founding Hakluyt, a global leader in commercial intelligence and advisory servicesIn a brilliant feat of literary detective work Master of Lies tells the extraordinary untold story of Anthony Blunt's life as a spy. Based on extensive research into newly released files he is revealed as not simply "the fourth man", but the most dangerous spy of the twentieth century. During the war, as the fate of the world hung in the balance, Blunt's intelligence was being fed straight on to the desks of Hitler, Stalin and Churchill. His hand was secretly guiding our collective fate and his treason led to the deaths of tens of thousands. He casts a shadow which looms large to this day. The official narrative is that Blunt was the least of the Cambridge spies - and yet he was the one who got away with it. While the rest drank themselves to death in dingy Moscow flats, Blunt revelled in his brilliant career as an art historian, Surveyor of the Queen's pictures and Knight of the Realm. He was protected not just by his many friendships with the great and the good, but by the brilliance with which he played the game - his was a secret too big to be told. Master of Lies reads like the best spy fiction but it solves one of the great espionage mysteries of our times.
