Human Resources
Ordinary items take on new meanings when you cast them in different light. The origins of tea, coffee and sugar are well known, but when you discover that gym treadmills were pioneered on plantations or that denim jeans were once clothing for enslaved people, you can't help but ask where else the legacy of slavery hides in plain sight. Through the stories of thirty-nine everyday places and objects, Renay Richardson and Arisa Loomba unpick the threads of the history that we never learned in school, revealing the truth of how Britain's present is bound to a darker past. Taking us from art galleries to football stands, banks to hospitals, from grand country houses to the backs of our kitchen cupboards, Human Resources is an eye-opening inquiry that gives a voice to the enslaved people who built modern Britain.
Female Hormones and ADHD
Women and girls with ADHD are often left feeling misunderstood and inadequately supported by health care. This comes as no surprise when research has historically almost exclusively been conducted on boys and men, leading to a lack of understanding around female specific ADHD challenges.For the first time, this book from two experienced doctors and ADHD experts, connects the latest science on ADHD and the influence of sex hormones, to the everyday lives of women and girls with ADHD. Chapters provide vital knowledge on the ADHD brain and female sexual and reproductive development whilst also introducing five fictional women at different hormonal phases of their lives from puberty through to post-menopause to give insight into the lived experience of ADHD. Readers are also introduced to an ''ADHD 24/7 language'' which provides a tailored approach to self-care for ADHD women and girls, allowing them to better advocate for themselves and enabling those supporting them to understand the challenges they face.Exploring everything from ADHD and common cooccurring conditions like anxiety, eating disorders and PCOS, to hormonal treatments and contraception, this book moves us one step closer to a world where the health and wellbeing of women and girls is prioritised.

The Cuckoo's Lea
A BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025‘Magical … No journey in Britain will be quite the same again.’ The GuardianBirds have long inspired our emotional and imaginative connections to physical environments, but where did it all begi? idden in the names of English towns and villages, in copses, fields, lanes and hills, are the ghostly traces of birds conjuring powerful identities for people in ancient landscapes. What are their stories and secrets? How did people encounter birds over a thousand years ago? In The Cuckoo’s Lea, Michael J. Warren sets out on the trail of these ghosts. Captivated and guided by the secrets of place names, he finds their stories entangled with his own explorations of places through birds all across England. The past is hauntingly and movingly present on timeless marshes where curlews cry, where goshawks are breeding again for the first time in centuries, through silent cuckoo-woods lost under concrete sprawl, in the winter roosts of corvids and an owl village that vanished centuries ago. Weaving together early literature, history and ornithology, this book takes readers on a journey far into the past to contemplate the nature of place and to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply to us now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone.

She hasn't spoken to her cousin Patch in almost a year, and would rather stay in Naples, but she's hoping that her attendance will mean that past behaviour is forgiven. Thrown together in Mary’s tiny house, each of them is trying to feel something: to grieve, atone, join in, be better.

Queer Georgians
Dr Anthony Delaney, presenter of History Hit's After Dark podcast, reveals the lives of people written out of the nation's story, now lovingly restored. 'If you’ve been intrigued by the gay romances that featured in Bridgerton, or the inspiration behind Gentleman Jack, Queer Georgians brings both – and more – vividly to life' i paper'In this moving and revelatory book, Anthony Delaney gives a voice to women and men whose lives have been written out of history' Hallie Rubenhold, author of The Five and Story of a MurderMother Clap's Holborn coffee house is open to all comers, a place of companionship and community, until a tip-off leads to a midnight raid. Two women, exiled from their families, set up a utopian homestead in a remote Welsh cottage, inspiring a generation of Romantic poets. The celebrated Chevalier d'Éon, soldier, diplomat and spy, challenges a rival to a fencing match. The sweepstake is not over who will win, but whether the Chevalier is a man or a woman. In this dazzling work of restorative history, Dr Anthony Delaney has traced the stories of people daring to challenge society's expectations, unearthing archives and court records to reveal the tragedies and the joys of queer life three centuries ago. Breathing new life into the forgotten and offering radical new interpretations of celebrated figures such as Anne Lister, Queer Georgians is an invitation to view our shared history in a whole new light. 'Reading this hitherto hidden history was a revelation. I was utterly enthralled from the first page to the last.' Tracy Borman, Chief Historian, Historic Royal Palaces and author of The Private Lives of the Tudors'Anthony Delaney has opened the closet door of Jane Austen’s England and found people of every style - criminalised in their own time, ignored by ours, heroically finding their own ways.' Philippa Gregory, author of Normal Women

Hard Place
‘An impeccable rendering of modern queer life, Hard Place is a closely-held mirror to the tenderness and brutality of what it means to be young, gay and trying today – in all its unflinching, and sometimes unflattering, glory. Torr is a new champion of the form.’ Rebecca K Reilly, author of Greta and Valdin‘Ruthless yet tender, funny yet devastating, with language sharp enough to cut. An essential read for our times.’ Amy Twigg, author of Spoilt Creatures‘A triumph of contemporary queer satire.’ Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface'Brutal, nuanced, compassionate and critical all at once, Hard Place shows the messy, human hypocrisy of existing in the current moment – but it also shows the necessity of creating imperfect connections and allowing ourselves to both change and be changed. Funny, heartwarming and socially aware all at once, it signals the arrival of a major new talent' Heather Parry, author of Carrion Crow‘Hard Place is a stunning debut, a beautifully observed, darkly funny exploration of modern relationships and London life. So savage and so tender, it marks Gab Torr as one of the brightest new talents in British writing' Tom Newlands, author of Only Here, Only NowEveryone's healing. No-one's happy. For years, Billy’s decisions have been made for her by long-term girlfriend Rose, leaving her free not to think for – or about – herself. But when they break up and Billy is left without anywhere to live, she’s forced to take up an unappealing but affordable SpareRoom ad. Her new flatmates, Sid and Rhoda, are the kinds of people who talk very seriously about taking accountability, adhering to the flat’s community guidelines and holding space for one another. Meals are communal by force, polyamory is assumed, and whatever the problem, capitalism’s usually to blame. Yes, Rhoda’s parents own the flat, but that doesn’t matter: they’re unapologetically political and loudly queer, and slowly Billy becomes enmeshed in their radical, vulnerable world. But as Billy’s past starts to catch up with her, and all of their boundaries begin to crumble, each of them must reckon with what they truly stand for – and what they’ll sacrifice to hold onto it. ‘Hard Place is a many-layered feast of a novel – biting, witty and unexpectedly tender at the same time. I hugely enjoyed it!’ Hannah Beer, author of I Make My Own Fun
Overshadowed
This visual history sheds light on forgotten parts of World War II history through the lens of the US Marine Corps, serving everywhere outside of the Pacific. When we think of US Marine involvement in World War II, we invariably think of the Pacific – and while a majority of the Corps did serve in there, the Marine Corps actually served in all theaters of the war. Marines fought Axis forces in Operation Torch in North Africa, landed on D-Day, parachuted behind enemy lines in France, made commando raids in Italy, attacked German submarines in the Caribbean and continued to guard the East Coast of the United States. Compiled from years of research from the National Archives, databases, and private collections, this new book offers a visual history of the Marine Corps and sheds light onto the overlooked aspects of its service in World War II. Marine Corps veteran Isaac Lamberth uses firsthand archival material, period images, and newspaper articles to chart the Corps' contribution to every theater of the war. Through their own words, Marines showcase how they worked, lived, trained, and fought in Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and the Atlantic. Then, as now, Marines fought in every clime and place.
Flamboyance
Flamboyance ignites every aspect of our lives, from art and entertainment to ritual and protest. The word conjures exuberance and unashamed passion; in thought, expression and dress. Yet historically the term 'flamboyant' has been reserved for the over-the-top and the outré, invoked at times as a pejorative innuendo or worse. In his fascinating new book, Jack Parlett argues for its value as an empowering and creative force, illuminating the ways in which flamboyance is a fundamental aspect of human conduct that both marks and transcends difference. Taking in an eclectic array of examples, from Gothic architecture to the orange flowers of Dungeness, and populated by figures such as Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, Elton John, Amy Winehouse, Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan, this is a book about flamboyant art and the art of flamboyance. And having both aspired to it and rejected it, Jack recounts his personal relationship to flamboyance while also finding new meanings of the word, exploring its surprises and contradictions, and reconnecting with its radical power.
Sail Away Land
Sail Away Land is the space where we might go when we're no longer alive (sometimes only temporarily). In this uncommon and disarming collection, the characters go 'there' with or without knowing it. Maybe they have been living there all along without noticing - just like they hadn't really noticed that everyone is carrying a shiny black suitcase. These stories are about normal things - losing the people we're closest to, forgiving them, finding love and managing to hold onto it - but also about going to parties through a door in the back of a colleague's head, housebreaking in search of a sister's ghost, and asking the strangers in the kitchen to resurrect you at midnight. Like brilliant and strange anxiety dreams in prose, the stories in Sail Away Land are full of temporal weirdness, life and non-being, psychological acuity, imagination and wit, all while being effortlessly, seductively readable and incredibly moving.
