When the murder of a tea planter baffles the island, he seizes the chance to solve the case, securing fame as ''our Sherlock Holmes''. But his triumph comes at a price. With devastating precision, Michelle de Kretser traces the disintegration of a man, a family and a society as change arrives and the empire crumbles. A dazzling and savage novel.
The Divided Mind
"A brilliant history of psychiatric ideas which suggests we are on the cusp of a transformation in our understanding of severe mental illness." The Guardian For centuries, mental and physical health have been divided, and disorders of the mind and body have been treated as if they were poles apart. But what if this mind/body split is not only outdated - but dangerously misleading? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Edward Bullmore confronts one of medicine's most enduring assumptions. Through the lens of schizophrenia - perhaps the most misunderstood of all psychiatric disorders - he lifts the lid on psychiatry's dark past. He highlights how the horror of the Nazi eugenics programme magnified a split between brain and mind theories which persists to this day. Illuminated by his personal experiences and the latest scientific research, The Divided Mind builds the case for a radical rethink of how we understand, and treat, so-called "mental" illness in the 21st century.

The Courage to Welcome
What does it mean to lead with compassion in a world riven by fear, at a time when the responses to forced displacement hold the power to reshape communities? How can institutions and individuals sustain solidarity amid rising divisio? his moving reflection of Filippo Grandi’s ten years as UN High Commissioner for Refugees and four decades spent working in humanitarian crises across the world addresses the growing complexity of forced displacement, its repercussions for international relations, and the challenges it poses for governments. Grandi calls for greater cooperation between nations and considers measures – along displacement routes and in host countries – which would provide life-saving assistance to refugees as well as preserve international cooperation and goodwill. He suggests a universal responsibility not to exacerbate division but to work diligently on the space between pragmatism and principle. Taking up this challenge, Catherine Ashton’s response to Grandi draws on her own distinguished leadership during some of the most important moments that have shaped contemporary diplomacy, and suggests how enduring principles can be retained within the realities of public life.
The Blindspot
WHAT IS POWER, WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HOW DID THEY FIND OU? ower lurks in every relationship, interaction and transaction but is scarcely understood even by those who wield it most. In The Blindspot, executive coach Douglas Board and priest Martin Henwood offer a radical, accessible and practical exploration of power which breaks new ground. The book reflects on more than sixty real-life incidents, including forty from the authors’ personal and professional experience. These range from corporate misconduct and gross abuse of authority in hospitals, churches and schools, to whistleblowing at Uber, leadership change at Sainsbury’s and selection decisions in the heart of government. The authors expose how poorly our elite leaders understand power. This missing knowledge they place in your hands. The Blindspot uses the idea of human chess to examine how we are all, at every moment, pieces playing and being played on multiple boards simultaneously. It analyses how knowledge about power is distributed across society, predicts the rise of the first power-literate generation, and suggests how all of us can accelerate this future.

‘I’m in love with May Chalmers and I don’t know what to do about it.’It was a bold, unexpected confession, scribbled in a diary by one of the few female reporters in Fleet Street during the Second World War – and it sent Felicity Goodall on a journey that led to places she could never have imagined.

Seeking Mea Allan interweaves past and present as we travel from London to Glasgow, from Paris to Hamburg and beyond, to answer the questions that still linger: was Mea written out of history because of her sexuality? Or was something more subtle at work?
