This game-changing toolkit reveals the research-proven solution that's transforming classrooms across the UK.

No complex theory—just practical techniques that help every pupil develop the thinking skills they need to succeed. Pupils who once said "I can't do this" start saying "I don't know how to do this yet, what's my next step?" Children develop confidence, independence, and resilience that serves them across every subject. This isn't another add-on to your already packed curriculum—it's a way of teaching that embeds naturally into every lesson, every subject, every day.

The Collected Prose of Sylvia Plath
The complete edition of Sylvia Plath's prose including much unpublished and previously uncollected material, edited by Peter K. Steinberg. The Collected Prose stands alongside the Journals (2000) and the two volume Letters (2017 and 2018) to support a more complete understanding of Sylvia Plath's ambition and achievement as a writer. Expanding on the selection published as Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plath's shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished. The volume embraces her experiments with the short story and pieces of non-fiction from the 1940s through to her more polished compositions of the fifties and early sixties, including fragments of fiction as well as her journalism and book reviews. Themes and associations become apparent as the volume offers new, intertextual ways of reading across Plath's oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent. 'To see so much of [Plath's] surviving fiction and journalism, so many of her essays and reviews, finally published under one cover is to be surprised all over again by the breadth of her vision, ambition and talent . . . A major literary event and an invaluable scholarly resource.' Heather Clark, TLSFrom reviews of The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume I: 1940-1956 and Volume II: 1956-1963:'Sylvia Plath was not only a great poet, she also forged some of the best prose of the twentieth century. . . she wrote letters of extraordinary wit and vivacity. Their publication is a major literary event.' The Times'These letters are by turns poignant, revelatory, banal, hilarious and self-absorbed, documenting as they do the changing moods, ambitions and intellectual and creative development of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated poets.' Evening Standard'Such was the impact of [Plath's] exploration of both inner and outer landscapes in staggeringly intense, brutal and lyrical language that her loss to the literary world has been mourned ever since.' Financial Times

White Male Stand-Up
On the Waterstones Best Books of 2025 List'Davies has done it again, damn him. Irritatingly good. Maddeningly funny. Annoyingly fine.' STEPHEN FRY'Emotional, entertaining and startlingly honest. I was totally engrossed.' AMY LIPTROT, author of The Outrun. 'Really honest and really funny' Lorraine KellyFollowing Just Ignore Him, the bestselling memoir of his traumatic childhood, White Male Stand-Up is what happened next to Alan Davies. It's the story of how he threw himself into the joyous and idealistic world of stand-up comedy, leading to a television career, but how echoes from the past, and the thought that everyone might prefer it if he disappeared, saw him repeatedly dismantle everything around him. With a cast of well-known comedians, actors, agents and producers, Alan awkwardly navigates his life from the camaraderie of the comedy circuit via life-changing fame as TV's Jonathan Creek, to the unwelcome realisation that most people know him from a bank advert and think he's had a perm. Often very funny and always honest, this very personal memoir is a rich tale of uplifting highs and painful lows, of success and excess, and the dangers of both. How Alan Davies survived it - and very nearly didn't - is the compelling tale of White Male Stand Up.
A nyári háború
A Rengeteg, az Ezüstfonás és a Solomancia-trilógia szerzőjének új kisregényében egy fiatal boszorkány próbálja visszafordítani az átkot, amellyel a fivérét sújtotta. Celia varázsereje azon a napon ébredt fel, amikor bátyja, Argent, elhagyta az otthonukat.
A lány dühében és csalódottságában megátkozta a bátyját, hogy szeretet nélkül élje le életét, nem is sejtve, hogy gyerekes dühkitörését mágia teszi végzetessé. Miközben Argent szerelem helyett dicsőséget és hírnevet hajszolva kóborol a háború dúlta világban, Celia mindent megtesz, hogy megtörje az átkot, amivel ő maga sújtotta a bátyját. Már fiatal nővé cseperedve szerez tudomást a népe és a halhatatlan nyárszerzetek közti időtlen idők óta tartó harc valódi okáról, és először csillan fel a reménysugár: talán a másik fivére segítségével felszabadíthatja az idősebb bátyját az átok alól, és egyúttal gyógyulást hozhat a nyári háború által kettészakított világnak.

Rule of Lies
An American lawyer's brilliant, propulsive story of witnessing and playing a part in the transformation of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin. A true tale of fascinating personalities, criminal intrigue, harrowing situations, audacious actions and international politics that combines Bill Browder's Red Notice with Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker.
Raised by his father, a multimillionaire conman and crack addict who owned Manhattan's most expensive brothel, twenty-four-year-old Jamison R. Firestone decided to change the channel. He graduated from law school in 1991 and sought his fortune in Gorbachev's USSR, establishing Russia's first independent foreign law firm.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Jamison lived in the maelstrom that was Russia, defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, having his law office raided by armed commandos, and once having to bug the offices of the Russian police.
Jamison was at the centre of some of Russia's most important events. He employed Sergei Magnitsky who was murdered for uncovering the largest tax theft in Russian history and teamed up with Bill Browder and Alexei Navalny to expose his killers. Along the way he inadvertently taught Navalny to make videos exposing corruption and started a war with the Russian government over passage of the Magnitsky Acts which threatened to sanction Russia's most powerful people.
A real-life story that reads like a spy novel, Rule of Lies goes deep inside contemporary Russia and events that have reshaped the globe. Darkly comic, sometimes horrifying and deeply moving, it is a chilling warning of what can happen when a nascent democracy succumbs to one man's corrupt iron rule, becoming not only an authoritarian nation but a profoundly criminal one-a true mafia state.
