Zoo Quest for a Dragon
In Zoo Quest for a Dragon, David Attenborough embarks upon an exciting 3,000-mile voyage to Indonesia. ''Our plan,'' Attenborough writes, ''was to travel widely throughout these islands, filming not only animals but also people and their everyday life.

As part of the ground-breaking 1954 BBC television series developed in association with London Zoo, which would form the basis for the documentary work that would later propel him to global acclaim, the Zoo Quest books presents Attenborough''s earliest accounts of expeditions to far-flung regions in Latin America, Asia, and Oceania.

US Navy Losses During the Second World War
Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the US Navy had been in action, but only in the course of carrying out defensive duties such as escorting convoys across the Atlantic. Pearl Harbor changed that completely, launching the full might of the United States into the now global conflict.In the years that followed, the US Navy incurred significant losses in every theatre in which it participated. Some of the losses were the direct result of combat, others of accidents and incidents. Richly illustrated and carefully researched, this book provides a unique record charting every loss incurred by the US Navy during the course of the Second World War.
Loose Threads
Three homicidal maniacs. Two radioactive shoes. One body in a suitcase. When Dr David Cairney, a politics lecturer, goes missing on the way home from his retirement party, his wife asks ex-boxer and journalist Robbie Gould for help. Gould wants nothing to do with it. But he needs the money. Meanwhile, the body of another politics lecturer, Professor Stephen Hogg, has been found, his body folded into a suitcase beside the Clydeside Expressway. While poking around the murder victim’s office, Gould encounters pathologist Sarah Badar. She worked on Hogg’s post mortem, only to find her report redacted, and she wants answers too. As the pair delve deeper into the case, they unearth connections between the two academics and a rogues’ gallery of oddballs and grotesques including rival gangsters from Edinburgh and Glasgow, a llama-farm owner in Kirkintilloch and an ex-KGB general with a trepanned skull and a thirst for vengeance. Sarah and Gould find themselves immersed in a world of missing Kremlin diamonds and pre-digital espionage – all coded signals, orange peel and scraps of red thread.
Seven Logics of Sculpture
From architectural space to narrative dynamics: a brilliant new conception of sculpture's unique modalities
While discussions about installation art or other three-dimensional art forms are widespread, the discourse on sculpture seems to be stuck in historical or thematic frameworks. Drawing from literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis and architecture, Ernst van Alphen explores "seven logics" of sculpture: the Logic of Inner Necessity; the Logic of Narration; the Logic of Space; the Logic of Volume; the Logic of Assemblage; the Logic of Architectural Space; and the Non-Logic of Singleness. These themes articulate the modalities specific to sculpture in a fresh and brilliant conception. Artists discussed include Carl Andre, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncusi, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, Michelangelo, Bruce Nauman, Meret Oppenheim and Rachel Whiteread.Ernst van Alphen (born 1958) is a cultural theorist and a professor emeritus of literary studies at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society. He is the author of Failed Images (Valiz, 2018) and Staging the Archive (Reaktion Books, 2014), and the editor of Shame! and Masculinity (Valiz, 2020).

Four Terrible Parents
What happens when the dream of starting your own family turns into a nightmare?
Valentine and Raul have been touring in their indie-sleaze band SEZME since their college days, but as they enter their early forties priorities change.

Convincing Raul, Banner and Linh to join her in renovating the hotel, she begins to dream up a queer family life together after facing a homophobic upbringing. But as the four of them navigate their new life and welcome a daughter, August, their relationships start to sour. On the night of the hotel's grand opening, what's meant to be an evening of celebration turns into a nightmare as August goes missing.
Stylish, twisty and laced with dark humour, Four Terrible Parents is a story of power, love, responsibility and what happens when parents turn on each other. And then the world turns on them.

From booktok and bookstagram sensation Monty Jay comes a dark, twisted romance set in a world of secrets, vengeance, and monsters that don't hide in the shadows-they rule them.
Perfect for fans of Rina Kent and Penelope Douglas.
Hollow Heights University is a prestigious institution for the elite, nestled in the eerie seaside town of Ponderosa Springs. Beneath its polished surface lies a breeding ground for corruption, where secrets rot and danger lurks behind every corner.
She should have stayed invisible. One wrong move placed her directly in the path of the Hollow Boys-a group of ruthless, powerful men who thrive on control, fear, and destruction. They are the monsters people warn about… and the ones no one escapes.
What begins as a descent into their dangerous world soon becomes something far more complicated. Bound by vengeance, violence, and buried truths, lines blur between victim and accomplice, hatred and desire.
This isn't a story about heroes or happy endings. It's about choices that stain the soul, love that grows in the darkest places, and the kind of obsession that consumes everything in its path.
Some people run from their monsters.
She fell in love with hers.

As tensions rise and the past threatens to ignite in full view, the return of a familiar face changes everything.
Sage was once seen as the town's golden girl-but her sudden reappearance at Hollow Heights brings more questions than answers. Haunted by her sister's mysterious death, she claims to be searching for closure. But not everyone believes her intentions are as innocent as they seem.
Especially him.
He knows what she's capable of. He's seen through her before-and he refuses to be deceived again. While others fall under her spell, he remains determined to protect everything they've built, even if it means turning her into his enemy.
As manipulation, secrets, and vengeance collide, their dangerous game escalates into something far more personal. Because this time, control isn't so easily maintained-and not everyone will walk away unscathed.
In a town where nothing stays buried, and everyone has something to hide, one wrong move could set everything on fire.
