The Book of Lost Languages
An immersive journey into the art of decipherment and the lost past that emerges when ancient scripts are brought back to lifeFor centuries, the world's earliest writing stood unread. Only through the work of decipherers did their languages begin to speak again, revealing lives that were long forgotten.The Book of Lost Languages is part detective story, part history, part linguistic adventure. It traces the epic journeys of decipherment, from the international strife that unearthed the Rosetta Stone, key to Egypt's hieroglyphs, to the drunken wager that unsealed Old Persian, and from the malaria cure that revealed China's most ancient writing to the proof by chocolate that Mayan writing had been unlocked behind the Cold War's Iron Curtain. From earliest victories to latest findings, Harbour chronicles the remarkable mental feats that have restored forgotten worlds.As it moves through these discoveries, the book celebrates the minds behind them - their strengths and quirks, their brilliance and pettiness, their inexplicable flashes of insight. It reveals the astonishing engine that drives decipherment: when we unravel forgotten scripts, we connect across millennia with the minds that created them. Through these connections, we have extended our knowledge of written history by thousands of years. The result is an exhilarating story of people and politics, dogma and doubt, genius and ingenuity, and of the beguiling artistry behind some of the greatest puzzles ever created.
Return to the Shack
In the long-awaited sequel to one of the world’s most beloved and widely read books of the last twenty years?The Shack?unrivaled storyteller Wm. Paul Young leads us back to the great questions of human existence: How does life go on in the face of irreconcilable loss? How can the irredeemable find redemption?
Ten years after the devastating events of The Shack, Mackenzie Allen Phillips is still living in the shadow of loss. Though life has moved forward, grief continues to haunt his family, his relationships, his faith, and his very sense of self. Nan, his wife, carries her own hidden sorrow. They are two people bound together by love yet often divided by pain.
On what would have been their daughter Missy’s sixteenth birthday, Mack and Nan confront the unthinkable when Mack is asked to visit death row to speak with the serial killer who abducted and murdered her. In the stark silence of the prison, Mack encounters not only the brokenness of another human being but also the raw weight of his own anger, doubt, and disappointment with God. Where is God when unbearable suffering endures? How can a shattered heart ever heal?
In Return to the Shack, William Paul Young invites readers on a profound journey into the depths of grief, the complexity of trauma, and the surprising humanity of those we most fear. With honesty and compassion, he explores the devastating impact of mental illness, abuse, and violence, the strain of loss on relationships, and the staggering cost?and unexpected freedom?of forgiveness.
This long-awaited sequel dares to ask the hardest questions: What does it mean to forgive the unforgivable? How do we live with God’s silence when our wounds cry out for answers? And can even the darkest prison and the most desolate wreckage of broken dreams become places where grace and redemption take root?
Both tender and unflinching, Return to the Shack is a story of pain, faith, and the relentless possibility of hope.

Vermeer : A Life Lost and Found
The paintings of Johannes Vermeer are some of the most sublime in the history of art. Yet until now they have, like the life of Vermeer himself, defied explanation. Following new leads, and drawing on a mass of historical evidence, some of it freshly uncovered in the archives of Delft and Rotterdam, Andrew Graham-Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer, revealing many of the painter’s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a persecuted, underground radical movement.In this revolutionary reassessment of nearly all of Vermeer’s most beloved works – including The Girl with a Pearl Earring, A View of Delft and The Milkmaid – our image of him is transformed from an isolated and mysterious figure into an artist at the nexus of a web of philosophers, financiers, patrons, preachers and regents, giving rich new insight into one of the most enigmatic figures in art history.

Sleeping Murder
A strange house
A ghost from the past
As soon as she moves into Hillside, Gwenda knows there’s something strange about this house.
A sealed room. A hidden door. The apparition of a young woman being strangled.
But strangest of all – this all seems quite familiar.
As her friend Jane Marple investigates, the answer seems to lie in a crime committed nearly twenty years ago.
The killer may have gotten away with murder. But Miss Marple is never far behind.
Never underestimate Miss Marple
‘Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.’
Tana French

The Two Hundred Years War
A new and radically original account of the longest military conflict in European history, which challenges the conventional periodisation of the 'Hundred Years War' to consider a much longer period of Anglo-French conflict.Michael Livingston argues that the English lens through which the war has been viewed has led historians to define it in terms of English interests (most famously, the claim of the English Plantagenet king Edward III to be the rightful king of France), and that the events collectively labelled the 'Hundred Years War' are best seen as a sequence of steps in France's struggle to define itself as a nation. For much of the period, France's primary rival was indeed England. But it was by no means the only combatant. Burgundy stood in its way, too, as did Brittany, Flanders, Navarre and other rival powers.Viewing France as the primary engine driving the war leads Livingston to consider a much longer timespan, starting with the Anglo-French 'Pirate War' of 1292 (which swiftly escalated into a fight over England's feudal possessions in Gascony) and ending with the marriage of Charles VIII of France to Anne of Brittany by which Brittany was subsumed into the French realm.

AGI Chronicles
'Exciting and brilliantly reported'Walter Isaacson
THE AGI CHRONICLES is not a futurist manifesto, an academic chin-stroker, a corporate biography, or a self-help manual. It's the inside story of the birth of AGI, as told by the people who are bringing it into existence, or trying to stop it from coming into existence, and who are grappling with the consequences before anyone else.
Building Artificial General Intelligence - a machine that is as smart or smarter than humans, at everything our brains can do - has been the goal for the world's biggest technology companies for about the last decade, and it is probably the most consequential technological project in history.
Only a few hundred people are fully awake to what's actually happening on the AI frontier, or how short the timelines are. Powerful AI will reshape society -and most governments and big corporations already view this conclusion as obvious, as evidenced by the trillions of dollars they're spending to get there first.
New York Timesjournalist Kevin Roose may be the only person who can tell this story.He has put his life on hold, gone to the heart of the action, interviewed those who have been involved in building this technology, digging up secrets and putting together the first major behind-the-scenes account of this race.
And the people building powerful AI are much, much weirder than you'd think. If you dig beneath the corporate veneers, the AI scene here is full of messianic claims, cult-like dynamics, and a degree of belief in the inevitability and imminence of powerful AI that can strike the uninitiated as genuinely insane.
This is gripping, characterful, first draft of history that reads like a non-fiction thriller, for readers of The Big Short, Careless People and American Prometheus. It's the book that people will turn to one hundred years from now as a defining account of the moment our species was changed for ever.
