Bytes and Bullets
'An obligatory read for anyone who wants to understand the new forces shaping the future.' Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author of Autocracy, Inc. and Twilight of Democracy. 'Couldn't be more timely. Mixes story-telling and analysis to illuminate the new technological arms race.' Peter Pomerantsev author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible When it comes to global dominance, military technology has always been a major geopolitical driver. For decades, the West set the rules on innovation using soft power and government funding to develop its own exclusive cutting-edge defensive capabilities. But in the digital era, the breakthroughs - be it AI systems and autonomous drones, satellite internet or advanced semiconductors - are coming from private companies, not government labs. In Bytes and Bullets, Steve Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war. Through captivating stories and original field research, he shows how the West's dominance is being undercut at every turn by a combination of commercialization, authoritarian convergence led by China and Russia, and the emergence of new regional powers hungry for more influence. A new tech cold war is coming into focus fast and restrictions and sanctions are no longer enough to maintain international stability. Feldstein reports from its front line in this rich and at times alarming account of this pivotal moment in history, making an urgent call for the West to act now, or risk losing its international standing forever.

I Want Everything
‘A delightful literary puzzle, posed to the reader in vibrant and clear-cut prose... It's rare for a writer to be this good both at crafting a sentence and at making you want to read the next one.’ Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times and The Happy Couple ‘Composed with stylistic brilliance and structural ingenuity, I Want Everything is that rare thing, a great contemporary novel... Dominic Amerena is a fantastic writer. (Seriously.)' Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts and No Judgement You all know this, of course, but years and years ago, acclaimed Australian novelist Brenda Shales went missing. After two explosive, controversial books that would shape the literary canon of the country for decades to come — and that terrible legal scandal about plagiarism, of course — she was simply gone. That was, right up until a frustrated young writer sees an elderly woman swimming at his local pool in Melbourne. She looks familiar…very familiar in fact. No. It couldn’t be. Stunned, he returns home to confirm the impossible truth; it’s Brenda Shales, now in her old age and stranded in a retirement home. He’s determined to pursue her, to discover what happened to her all those years ago, and to possibly fulfil his dreams of literary stardom through a tell-all biography. But when he finds her, a case of mistaken identity and Brenda’s own terrible secrets begin to derail his ambitions, and ultimately, his entire life. From brilliant debut novelist Dominic Amerena, I Want Everything is a wickedly sharp story of desire and deception, authorship and authenticity, and the devastating costs of creative ambition.

No Room at the Morgue
'Manchette was Le Homme...rediscover him this very instant' - James EllroyMeet Eugene Tarpon: ex-cop, ex-idealist, man in free fall.

In bursts the wild-eyed and bloodstained Memphis Charles, whose roommate has been brutally murdered. And she wants no one but Tarpon on the case. As the bodies mount, Tarpon is dragged into a Parisian underworld of politics, sleaze, and paranoia – with nothing to guide him but instinct, stubbornness, and a battered sense of justice.

I read and reread him, stunned, appalled, and laughing out loud' - Rachel Kushner'Manchette is one of the greatest writers since Dashiell Hammett, his only true son and heir' - David Peace'Manchette is Camus on overdrive...

MRS GARGANTUA HB
Winner of the 2020 Michael Jacobs Prize; shortlisted for the Eccles Centre & Hay Festival Writer''s Award''A treasure chest full of rare and exquisitely rendered stories'' JON LEE ANDERSON''The best book you are likely to read on Cuba for ages’ SPECTATORA brilliantly unconventional and riveting ride through Cuba’s history, drawing on the David and Goliath dynamic of its confrontations with the US and other superpowers. It captures realities behind the fantastical, exoticised treatment Cuba often receives.Mrs Gargantua deals with towering figures – both human and non-human – and ambitions which have left their mark on Cuba, the distorted means by which the island is often presented to the outside world. From Columbus and the conquistadores, Ptolemy to Paris Hilton, Hemingway, nuclear warheads and the prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, from a nationalist sparrow ‘martyred’ during Cuba’s independence wars to Fidel Castro’s genetically modified super-cow, this non-fiction work exposes the country’s status as a social and biological testing ground and resource to be mined by larger nations.The book’s title comes from an account of Maria Hoyt, a US heiress who raised a gorilla in Cuba (one of the first to do so beyond Africa). Later her pet was sold to a circus in the United States where she became a celebrity: the famous ‘Mrs Gargantua’. Her story is directly linked to Hoyt’s predecessor in monkey and ape husbandry, the Cuban Rosalía Abreu; reputedly the richest woman in Latin America and a legendary recluse, Abreu became the first person in history – at her mansion in Havana – to breed a chimpanzee in captivity, with unexpected and far-reaching consequences.Like ''Mrs Gargantua'', Cuba has been endlessly subject to the whims of the human circus that tries to tame her.The award-winning Mrs Gargantua forms an entirely original, compelling inventory of the author’s twenty-year relationship with the island and its people, while also attempting to sketch Cuba’s wider importance to a political understanding of the Americas, both in tangible and imaginary terms.

Extreme Britain
Drawing on interviews with extremists, this timely study explores the relationship between gendered culture and political radicalism in a polarised Britain. Misogyny and ‘toxic masculinity’ are increasingly implicated in radicalisation. From the men’s incel (‘involuntary celibate’) movement online, to jihadist groups like Islamic State, to radical right ‘Free Speech’ protests —radicalisation spans ideologies. Though an often-used term, the process of radicalisation is not well understood, and the role of gender and masculinities has often been ignored. This book uses primary research among two of Britain’s key extremist movements: the banned Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, and those networked to it; and the anti-Islam radical right, including the English Defence League and Britain First, to reveal radicalisation as a masculinity project. Through interviews with leaders including Anjem Choudary, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson, as well as their followers, Extreme Britain explores the emergence of extreme misogyny and masculinities. Pearson situates extreme identities in wider social norms, showing how masculinities are mobilised into action. The book cautions against oversimplifying extreme masculinity as ‘toxic’. It demonstrates how both men and women ‘do’ extreme masculinities and the costs and benefits to them both of activism. Understanding the men and women involved in extreme movements will better equip us to counter them. This fascinating study offers invaluable insight into some of their lives and motivations.
The Spirit of the Rainforest
A competing title to the bestselling BRAIDING SWEETGRASS - a fascinating insight into the Amazon rainforest from scientist and peruivan-born explorer Dr Rosa Espinoza."An emotional personal journey that makes you feel like you’re living this connection with the Amazon alongside Dr Rosa. The way she describes everything hits every sense and builds an internal excitement if not slight trepidation to make this trip with her. I love the way the scientific explanations begin each chapter and allow a deeper understanding of how the amazon is deeply part of who we are." Isabella Blake-Thomas (Actress, Bee: wild ambassador)“In The Spirit of the Rainforest, Indigenous wisdom and scientific curiosity come together to show us how to reconnect with the natural world in holistic, meaningful ways.” – Dr. Jessica Hernandez“a remarkable storyteller, which she showcases in her phenomenal debut filled with traditional wisdom, scientific explorations and transformational connections.” – MS magazine “The Spirit of the Rainforest sweeps you into an unforgettable journey where an explorer’s insatiable curiosity becomes a bridge between Indigenous wisdom and scientific discovery. With luminous storytelling, it reveals how even the rainforest’s tiniest creatures can hold the keys to understanding and protecting our living planet. It’s a pulse-quickening ride that will leave you awed by nature’s brilliance and hungry to protect it." – Ariel WaldmanBefore you step into the jungle, there are a few things you need to know... Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Dr Rosa is no stranger to the Amazon. Growing up with the rainforest as her back garden, she learnt the lessons of the rainforest from her grandmother, a native healer in natural medicine. She went on to pursue a classical education in science, gaining a PhD in the US, but has always been pulled back to the heart of the Amazon. As a leading biologist in her field, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight. In this debut, you'll learn about Dr Rosa's journeys in the Amazon: her treacherous encounters with a boiling river, her conservation work with stingless bees, her experience of taking ayahuasca as a natural psychedelic - and all the amazing biodiversity of the rainforest. At the heart of Rosa's expedition is her passion to combine science with the indigenous knowledge of the Amazon. She shares her experience of learning from the indigenous communities that she visits, and shows what they have to teach us - stretching beyond the realm scientific knowledge. Here Rosa learns the most important lessons in how to reconnect to the natural world - and, in turn, will teach us to do the same. In this book, Rosa celebrates the richness of Amazonian culture, the wonders of biodiversity, and the enduring spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world.
