Parable of the Talents
A stunning new contemporary edition of Octavia E. Butler's award-winning sequel to Parable of the Sower. With an introduction by Akwaeke Emezi. 'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as humans' GLORIA STEINEMTo understand who I am, I must begin to understand who she was. There are many things Asha needs to know. How her country could embrace a presidential reign of terror and oppression, why the people turned a blind eye to the suffering - and the truth about her mother. Reading the journals of Lauren Olamina, the mother she barely knew, Asha struggles to reconcile herself to the legacy of a woman caught between love for her daughter and her calling to lead humanity to a better future.

How to Build a Spitfire
A unique homage to the fighter aircraft that won the Battle of Britain, marrying the story of how the author built a replica Spitfire in his garden with the plane's operational history. In April 2018 David Price, dedicated aviation museum volunteer and author of The Crew and Mosquito Men, decided to build a Spitfire replica in his back garden. In How to Build a Spitfire he juxtaposes the story of the ups and down of his own ambitious project to recreate an icon of British aviation with a narrative of the development of the Spitfire itself, focusing in particular on the production of the aircraft and its various component parts – including the Merlin engine. The story includes incredible testimonies from workers in the Supermarine factory in Southampton and in other Spitfire production facilities. Bringing together the sometimes light-hearted tale of a personal quest, enthusiastically pursued, with an authoritative account of the technical workings of a war-winning weapon, and the stories of the men who flew it, How to Build a Spitfire is a distinctive and affectionate homage to an enduring symbol of British engineering genius and national resilience.

Receipts From the Bookshop
'ABSOLUTE HEAVEN' INDIA KNIGHT'WARM AND UPLIFTING' AJ PEARCE'THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE TO THE WORLD RIGHT NOW' JENNIE GODFREYMany of us dream of owning a bookshop, but for Katie Clapham it happened by accident, when she moved back to the seaside town she grew up in and went into business with her mum. Once a week, Katie sits behind the counter and chronicles the day's comings and goings - mostly people who were actually hoping to catch her mother. The triumphs here are small but hard won: a tea crisis averted, a book title correctly identified from a cryptic clutch of clues. Not to mention the emotional rollercoaster of being named the Seventh-Best Bookshop in the Country by The Times on a day where takings came to around L16.98. Customers appear for a browse and a chat, in search of a recommendation or the perfect gift. Others enter the shop for more unexpected reasons - to borrow a screwdriver, locate a priest or simply to ask if there's 'a nice place for an omelette around here'. Each day brings its own joys and frustrations, though not always in equal measure . . . Funny, surprising and affectionate, here is a bookseller's year in all its weirdness and wonder - a life-affirming celebration of bad weather, good books and the irreplaceable role of a local bookshop.

The Wrong Man
A new PI. A dead rockstar. A tangled web of secrets. When Ethan Adler set up his new PI agency in central Manchester, he wasn’t expecting his first case to be so high profile – investigating the mysterious death of rock star Dylan Vy. Ethan has been avoiding the spotlight ever since his beloved wife Maggie’s untimely passing. His grief has been complicated by rumours that Maggie was pregnant with another man’s child at the time of her fatal accident. And because said accident took place just hours after Ethan won the lottery, a cloud of suspicion has followed Ethan ever since. With the help of his assistant Amelia, Ethan throws himself into uncovering the truth about Dylan Vy. In a fast-escalating investigation, they uncover a labyrinth of secrets, lies and deadly connections between bandmates, girlfriends and a volatile manager. And when Dylan's unreleased music is leaked on the dark web, speculation swirls that the lyrics contain hidden clues that might lead to the killer. But who leaked these songs, and what is their secret motive? In the midst of a media frenzy and a storm of fan conspiracy theories, who can Ethan trust?

Swimmingly
WINNER OF THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2026 – SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR'A hugely enjoyable love letter to swimming and open water adventures' – Sophie RaworthSports and Virgin Radio Breakfast Show presenter Vassos Alexander found solace and distraction swimming in the Thames during a difficult summer, and was bitten by the bug. Now he can't pass a body of water without wanting to jump in. Told through the story of training for a solo Channel swim, Swimmingly takes you on a journey across the world from Bournemouth Beach to San Francisco Bay. Vassos discovers that outdoor swimming is not about being the fastest or the best, it's about finding that little bit of magic in every stroke. Working with elite coaches and interviewing the great and the good of swimming, he uncovers the massive sense of community at the heart of this time-honoured pastime. He meets Olympic champions and Channel legends – including Diana Nyad, who in her 60s became the first person to swim between Cuba and Florida; Lewis Pugh, the UN Patron of the Oceans and Lynne Cox, a woman who went for a swim and saved the world. It's about the everyday swims, too – the tips shared and friendships forged over coffee and cake after a morning dip with the Teddington Bluetits or the sea swimmers of Whitstable. With the sport exploding in popularity over recent years, we all know someone (or are that someone!) who swims outside throughout the year. Swimmingly will leave you with a renewed sense of connection to the world, and perhaps even inspire you to dive into your nearest lake, river or sea with gleeful abandon.

Placebo ste vy
Je možné liečiť len silou myšlienky – bez liekov či operácie? Pravda je taká, že sa to deje častejšie, než by ste čakali. V knihe Placebo ste vy Dr Joe Dispenza uvádza množstvo zdokumentovaných prípadov ľudí, ktorým sa podarilo zvrátiť rakovinu, srdcové ochorenia, depresiu, paralyzujúcu artritídu a dokonca aj tras pri Parkinsonovej chorobe vďaka tomu, že verili placebu. Podobne Dr. Joe uvádza príbehy ľudí, ktorí ochoreli a dokonca zomreli ako obete kliatby či voodoo prekliatia – alebo po tom, ako im bola nesprávne diagnostikovaná smrteľná choroba. Viera môže byť taká silná, že farmaceutické spoločnosti používajú dvojito a trojito zaslepené randomizované štúdie, aby sa pri hodnotení nových liekov pokúsili vylúčiť vplyv mysle na telo. Dr. Joe neskúma len históriu a fyziológiu placebo efektu, ale kladie otázku: „Je možné učiť princípy placeba a bez spoliehania sa na akúkoľvek vonkajšiu látku vyvolať rovnaké vnútorné zmeny v zdraví človeka a nakoniec aj v jeho živote?“ Následne sa delí o vedecké dôkazy (vrátane farebných skenov mozgu) o úžasných uzdraveniach na svojich workshopoch, na ktorých sa účastníci učia jeho model osobnej transformácie založený na praktických aplikáciách takzvaného placebo efektu. Kniha končí „návodom“ na meditáciu zameranú na zmenu presvedčení a vnímania, ktoré nás brzdia – čo je prvý krok k uzdraveniu. Kniha Placebo ste vy spája najnovší výskum v oblasti neurovied, biológie, psychológie, hypnózy, behaviorálneho podmieňovania a kvantovej fyziky, aby demystifikovala fungovanie placebo efektu a ukazuje, ako sa zdanlivo nemožné môže stať možným.
Temnota kráča lesom
V temnom lese sa v priebehu jedného dňa nájdu mŕtvy dospievajúci chlapec a utopený kôň. Policajt Alexander Stenborg si dva prípady najskôr nespája. Nedávno sa so svojou tehotnou manželkou Sofiou presťahovali do malého idylického mesta Ormaryd, kde sa chystajú „začať odznova“. Počas vyšetrovania na prípade ho mätie časť zvieraťa, jeho oči – nevyzeral, akoby bol ešte živý? Chcel mu niečo povedať?
V skutočnosti Alexandra trápi, že musel ponížene odísť zo štokholmskej polície s poškvrnenou povesťou. Sofia sa po rokoch opäť skontaktuje so svojou mamou a je odhodlaná zistiť, kto je jej otec.
Uzavretá komunita mesta sa k snaživým novým susedom chová odťažito. Manželia sa nemôžu spoľahnúť ani na miestneho pastora, ktorý organizuje zvláštne stretnutia. Alexander a Sofia čoskoro vycítia, že v Ormaryd a neďalekých lesoch sa ukrýva čosi hrôzostrašné.
Temnota kráča lesom z pera spisovateľského dua Kallentoftovcov je tajomný atmosférický triler o sekte a rozpínajúcich sa hraniciach zla.

Prestaňte príliš premýšľať
Od autora medzinárodného bestsellera
„Neverte všetkému, čo si myslíte“
prichádza sprievodná príručka,
ktorá vám pomôže zmeniť paralyzujúci cyklus prílišného premýšľania na jasné a intuitívne rozhodovanie.
Váš mozog je naprogramovaný tak, aby nad rozhodnutiami príliš premýšľal – nie preto, že by s vami niečo nebolo
v poriadku, ale preto, že vám veľmi záleží na tom, aby ste urobili správne rozhodnutie. Ak ste sa niekedy ocitli
v nekonečnej slučke „čo keby“, analyzovali každú možnosť až do vyčerpania alebo hľadali rady u všetkých
okolo seba
a napriek tomu ste sa stále cítili stratení, táto kniha je vašou cestou von. Na rozdiel od tradičných prístupov,
ktoré vás nechajú uviaznuť medzi nekonečnou analýzou a nejasnou intuíciou, autor ponúka kontraintuitívny
systém, ktorý úplne obchádza začarovaný kruh prílišného premýšľania. Nejde o to robiť dokonalé rozhodnutia,
ale robiť rozhodnutia, ktoré sú v súlade s vašou jasnou mysľou, a nie s chaosom.
Kniha predstavuje psychologický a praktický rámec, ktorý vám pomôže prekonať „paralýzu z premýšľania“
a prejsť k rozhodnému a ucelenému konaniu. Presúva dôraz z hľadania „dokonalého“ rozhodnutia na rozho-
dovanie ukotvené v jasnosti a dôvere v seba samého.
