Ballot
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Ballot examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti unspools a timely narrative about the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history, and recounts the astonishing events leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Enjeti lays out the growing challenges for voters in battleground states, where rightwing legislatures have introduced staggering numbers of voter suppression bills and redrawn district lines, all to disenfranchise as many Black and other marginalized voters as possible. As her account of the history and stakes of election integrity shows, the aftershocks of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 have manifested most egregiously on the four corners of the ballot.
Ocean Explorer
Dive to the depths of our oceans and spot over 150 incredible sea creatures in this search-and-find book by marine biologist Carlee Jackson. There are millions of creatures hiding in the depths of our oceans! In this beautiful search-and-find book, kids will snorkel around a coral reef, swim along a mangrove, and explore a shipwreck as they have fun for hours searching for sea creatures. Vibrant illustrations by Hannah Abbo make for beautiful underwater scenes. As kids pore over the details, they'll dive deeper and deeper within our oceans and discover habitats from around the world. Will they be able to spot the sea turtle hatchlings making a dash for the sea? Or the nurse shark having a snooze in the coral reef? How about the narwhals peeking through ice in the Arctic? Discover that epaulette sharks can "walk", how a rainbow sea slug defends itself against predators, and why honeycomb eels have two sets of jaws!
The Great British River
From sparkling springs and babbling brooks to urban canals and muddy estuaries, discover the fascinating journey of our rivers and the wildlife that calls them home. Our rivers are home to some of Britain's most iconic species, including brown trout, mayfly, kingfisher and otter, and for centuries they have provided us with a place to explore and relax. Not only do they provide a habitat for wildlife, they're also a crucial resource for drinking water, farming and transportation. However, a combination of relentless pollution, failing water management and climate change have had a devastating effect. There are currently no rivers in the UK with a ‘good’ ecological status, threatening the species that depend on them to survive. In The Great British River, freshwater specialist Jack Perks explores the fundamentals of our rivers: the habitats they supply, how they transform on the journey from source to estuary, and why certain species are suited to them. Discover ways to enjoy your local waterways and wildlife, as well as what can be done to help protect them. Beautifully illustrated with colour photography of some of our most vital rivers and the species that live in and around them, this accessible book is a celebration of the British river, and a call to action to conserve this precious habitat.
Archaeological Excavations at Irmis Rka: An Investigation of a Multi-Layered Settlement in Southwest Georgia
This volume presents the results of the 2020 season excavations conducted by the Georgian National Museum at the multi-layered settlement of Irmis Rka, located in the Samtskhe-Javakheti province in southwest Georgia. Excavations on the site have confirmed the presence of pits and domestic architecture from the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes Culture, as well as deposits of the subsequent Bedeni Culture, along with abundant related materials. The site reveals signs of occupation during the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age, with evidence of fortification and various artefacts. Additionally, medieval activities have been documented. The site demonstrates the full evolution of the Kura-Araxes tradition, offering perspectives to illustrate its gradual changes and development. One of the site's most significant aspects is the presence of the Bedeni culture, marking its first appearance in this area. While excavations at Irmis Rka are ongoing, the results presented here contribute new data to a wide range of discussions.

They think that maybe a witch lives in the cottage - at first they are curious, but soon they start to tease the inhabitant, with surprising consequences...
Exploring bullying, peer pressure and making assumptions, this new tale weaves an empathetic moral among stunning artwork and storytelling.

ITCH!
Josie is at rock bottom, living a haunted existence after returning to her isolated hometown on the edge of the Forest of Dean. But the tall, dense pine trees are not the only things casting shadows across her skin.
When Josie stumbles across a decaying, ant-infested body in the woods, she plummets into a downward spiral, facing uncomfortable truths about the victim and her own past - all whilst battling a growing infestation of her mind ... and her flesh.
Desperate to solve the case, Josie scratches the surface of an age-old mystery - a masked predator stalks the forest around Ellwood, a place deeply gripped by folklore. As the village prepares for its annual festival, Josie gets closer and closer to unveiling a monster, and begins to ask herself:
Are these dark crawling insects leading her to uncover the truth? Or is she their next victim?

The Fire in the Mountain
For centuries, Mount Etna has sent lava to engulf the towns and villages, terraced fields, orchards, vineyards, and citrus groves that nestle across its slopes. But still it remains home to a quarter of Sicily's population. Why? Because Etna has always rewarded her people after every eruption with a landscape of unparalleled fertility, richness and drama.
In this extraordinary new book, Helena Attlee combines travel writing with history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell a unique story of life in the shadow of Sicily's most dangerous and alluring landmark. Venturing through lava-strewn fields and pistachio groves patrolled by armed guards; past dusky, basalt-built farmyards, and caves once used to store snow, Attlee gathers tales of the artists, writers, farmers, and scientists who have for centuries been drawn to this unpredictable landscape: from the early Roman, Arabic and Norman settlers, Romantic poets and Victorian geologists, to the local families who live and work there today. It is at once a compelling account of Sicily's rich and varied past, and a powerful meditation on humanity's ever-changing relationship with landscape.
Earth Works: Houses by Byoung Cho
Earth Works: Houses by Byoung Cho offers a unique glimpse into the residential buildings of one of Korea's most influential architects. This visually stunning monograph combines photography, plans, drawings, paintings and models to provide an exclusive overview of this rarely published aspect of Byoung's work.
Focused entirely around fifteen private and rarely seen residences, the book takes as its starting point some of his earliest projects - Concrete Box House (2004) and Earth House (2009) - which explore the emotional impact of place through low-intervention and minimalist rural structures. At its core, this book aims to intertwine the theoretical underpinnings of land architecture with practical project descriptions, creating a holistic narrative that bridges the conceptual and the concrete.
It also explores Korean architecture's enduring concern with establishing a relationship with the land, something which is rooted in the country's distinct terrain and cultural foundations. A number of insightful texts by Byoung complement this elegant and poetic survey, exploring his architectural influences alongside the ideas of experience, perception and the Korean concepts of mak and bium (imperfection and emptiness).
The Art of Korean Cooking
A beautifully produced cookbook featuring eighty recipes inspired by traditional Korean cuisine, alongside illuminating essays on the country’s culinary history.
The Art of Korean Cooking is a definitive introduction to Korean cuisine and a beautifully crafted cookbook. It compiles more than eighty recipes, each meticulously researched and tested by Onjium – a cultural research institute and Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul dedicated to reviving and modernizing Korean culinary traditions, preserving past tastes for future generations.
The book includes a series of cultural essays, interspersed throughout, grounding readers in Korean cuisine and culture. Taken together, they trace the history of its flavours and ingredients back thousands of years through the Joseon and Goryeo dynasties. A particular emphasis is placed on Royal Court Cuisine, accompanied by numerous modern spins on dishes once served at Joseon-era royal banquets.
Organized by season, the recipes range from familiar dishes like bibimbap with spring vegetables or seafood hot pot to the lesser known: azalea rice cakes, chestnut porridge, beotgul (oyster) salad, or stir-fried ueong (burdock root) with sweet-potato noodles. Each recipe is illustrated by a stunning photograph of its end dish, while artfully designed double pages depict raw ingredients and scenes from nature during the changing seasons.
Bookending the recipes are a series of illustrated subsections covering essential drinks, garnishes, and condiments. These include alcoholic beverages; bugak (dried deep-fried vegetables or seaweed); jangajji (pickles); tea; and fruit and vegetable marmalades.

Saved (Hardback)
On 19 November 1995, the world learned the name Gianluigi Buffon. At the tender age of seventeen he made his Serie A debut for Parma against European giants Milan, facing down the likes of Roberto Baggio and George Weah, keeping a clean sheet. During his twenty-eight-year long career Buffon broke many records including:
- The most capped goalkeeper of all time and the most appearance for Italy (176)
- The most Serie A titles (10)
- The longest time in Serie A without conceding a goal (974 minutes)
The numbers, however, only tell half the story of a player famously nicknamed "Superman" for his athletic prowess.
In Saved Buffon reveals that even superheroes struggle with their inner demons. Beyond his individual triumphs with Parma, Juventus and PSG - the famous World Cup win in 2006 - Buffon reflects on his deeply human challenges off the pitch.
He describes being devoured by depression between games and the psychological toll of being a goalkeeper - the loneliest position in football - often finding solace in talking to his gloves. He opens up about his gambling, smoking during matches and the strains on his relationships which became fodder for the press. Buffon's are the struggles of a man whose talents and flaws co-exit.
Saved is both a meditation on the art of goalkeeping and a love letter to the golden age of Italian football.

Leading a small all-Indigenous Amerindian team of explorers across Guyana’s faraway Kanuku Mountains, Lucy travelled through dense jungle and treacherous rivers, enduring hunger, injury and illness along the way. The rainforest was alive with constant threat: bushmaster snakes, jaguars, caiman alligators, fire ants and flesh-burrowing parasites. Fifty days after being dropped into the wilderness, the team finally reached their destination. By turns thrilling, warm and inspiring, this is the story of a childhood dream made real. And a passionate reminder that our world’s wild places still matter, not just for what they reveal about the planet, but for what they reveal about us.
