A Guardian 'Book of the day'Longlisted for the 2025 Highland Book Prize'A captivating book' - Independent'Her enthusiasm is contagious.' - Guardian'A meditation on life, culture and trees.' - FRED PEARCE'Unofficial poet laureate of our woodlands.' - Scotsman________________For millennia,elms shaped our landscape and our folklore;then they started dying. Few young people have seen a mature elm tree. They once covered great swathes of Europe and North America, but Dutch elm disease has since killed hundreds of millions worldwide, forever altering our landscapes. The Lost Elms is a love letter to our nearly vanished elms and a rallying cry for their long, slow fight back. It tells the gripping story of the scientists desperately trying to halt the disease's relentless progress, and shares the latest research uncovering the intricate links between elms and other species. Woven throughout is a deeply lyrical look at the tree's central place in our history, mythology, poetry and folklore. Crucially, there is hope. Recent breakthroughs reveal elms to be more resilient than we ever imagined. The Lost Elms shows how the strength of this noble tree can offer positive lessons for the future - lessons which one day might help us save other disappearing species.

Broken Republik
For many years, the post-war recovery of Germany was an inspirational story. Companies like Mercedes-Benz and Siemens became global titans, while the country's political leaders earned respect around the world. Even when the Berlin Wall fell, it initially seemed to reunify effortlessly.
But even at its peak, there were signs of trouble. So, when events started to turn against Germany, everything started to crumble. Volkswagen's emissions scandal damaged its industrial reputation, abandoning nuclear power left it reliant on Russia, and growing inequality boosted the far-right AfD.
Now updated for this edition, Broken Republik tells the compelling story of Germany's decline - where it all went wrong and how it could bounce back.

Her only hope is Oliver Lysander, the volatile leader of the vampires who rule the Gravewood. Their deal is simple: she gives him her blood, he brings her batteries. No lines crossed. Nothing personal. Until Shea’s best friend is lured into the Gravewood, and her brother Asher Thorley returns from the frontlines, willing to expose Shea’s darkest secrets to get his sister back. Ever the opportunist, Lysander offers a new bargain: if Asher kills his vampire rival, he’ll help find the missing girl. And if Shea agrees to Turn, he’ll cure her ailing mother. But every deal pulls her closer to Lysander – and to becoming a monster herself. From New York Times bestselling author Kelly Andrew comes a vampire romance that explores disability, obsession and the twisted limits of loyalty.

Inherit the Truth
Told in her own words, this is the incredible true story of one young woman's survival of Auschwitz and Belsen because she happened to play the cello. With a new foreword by Philippe Sands. Although my head was shaved and I had a number on my arm, I had not lost my identity totally. I may no longer have had a name, but I was identifiable . I was 'the cellist'. When eighteen-year-old Anita arrived at Auschwitz, she found herself plucked from the Nazi death machine by a twist of fate: she played the cello, and the camp orchestra needed a cellist. Now the last living survivor of the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra, this is her story told in her own words. Like so many German Jewish schoolgirls, Anita had been busy with her studies and ambitions when her everyday life began to turn by degrees into one of unimaginable horror. School was cancelled, her parents were summoned for deportation, and when she and her sister, Renate, attempted to escape to France, they were arrested and imprisoned. Through her sharp-etched memories, alongside family letters, photos, and other historical documents, Inherit the Truth leads us into one of humanity's darkest chapters, where we are forced to confront the fragility of the line between civilisation and barbarity. Marking the eightieth anniversary of her arrival in the UK after her release from Belsen concentration camp, and with a new introduction by Philippe Sands, Anita's account of her and her sister's survival of both Auschwitz and Belsen is a testament to their remarkable courage, resilience, ingenuity and luck. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch's book Inherit the Truth: The Cellist of Auschwitz was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 26-04-2026
