Good Girl Syndrome
I've always been told that if I was good, I'd attract good things. So then, why am I unhappy?
From a young age, women are taught to put everyone else first. The result? A society full of 'Good Girls', pushing themselves to meet expectations while ignoring their own needs. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In this whip-smart and empowering book, psychotherapist Marta Martinez Novoa explains that people pleasing is not a personality failing, but a common response to trauma - an instinct to become more appealing to a threat, and a way to feel safe. Taking you on a journey into your past, this book will help you understand why you feel the way you do in the present, and gives you practical tools to build a future where you feel bolder, safer and more confident in everything you do.
If you're done being a people pleaser and ready to start living for you, this is your toolkit to wake up and finally take charge.

Pre-order Lucy Shepherd’s story of her journey to become an explorer, her world-first expedition across the Amazon’s Kanuku Mountains and her mission to share the wild places of our world. ‘Not just a story of an extreme journey, but of courage, humility and growth. Lucy Shepherd writes with honesty and heart and this book is a powerful reminder that exploration is still alive’ - BEAR GRYLLS'An inspiring story of tenacity and determination . . . a rare glimpse into what it takes to become a modern-day explorer' EVA ZU BECK‘Thoughtful, grounded and quietly powerful’ BRUCE PARRY‘Lucy is the quintessential enlightened modern explorer, keeping adventure alive' STEVE BACKSHALL"THE MOST HARDCORE MEMBER OF THE NEW GENERATION OF BRITISH EXPLORERS" - THE TIMESWhat does it really take to become an explore? o travel beyond maps and certainty. To face fear . . . and keep going. To step away from comfort and convenience - and rely on instinct, teamwork and resilience when there’s no clear way forward. Inspired by the extraordinary journeys of previous generations, Lucy Shepherd set out to find out. Into the Wild charts the making of an explorer, culminating in a world-first expedition into one of the most remote and unforgiving environments on Earth - the Amazon rainforest. 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.

Highland Homespun
In May 1933 Margaret Leigh took over the tenancy of Achnabo farm, in a beautiful corner of the West Highlands overlooking the isle of Skye. In this unsentimental yet exquisitely written book, she recounts a year of farming life there, from the burning of the land and ploughing in March, through planting and sowing in April to haymaking and harvesting in September. Incidental details – such as a visit to the smithy, the arrival of some new bulls and the annual journey of the cows to the summer shielings – provide fascinating insights into farming life. Local characters and customs feature too, adding another rich dimension to this reflective and poignant memoir of a world now vanished forever.

The community turns inward in fear. Wooley, following her own instincts and a series of deadend trails, worries that this year’s Rodeo Queen may be the next victim. During a high-country excursion to Me-Wuk sacred grounds to foil a scheme to dam the Little Bear River, wildfire breaks out again. Anishinaabe wilderness guide Leonard Parker appears again and continues to surprise. In the aftermath of one crisis after another in this second book of the Wild Horses Mystery series, it’s a beautiful wild stallion who Eleanor and her lover, rancher Easton Jode, have rescued from slaughter that restores the light in a small rural town living under the shadow of death.
The Lordship of Galloway
In viewing Galloway from the wider context of the northern British mainland, Irish Sea and wider Hebridean zone, it has been possible to explore the dynamics of state-building, dynastic interactions, and the close inter-relationships of the territories connected by the western seaways, which most traditional ’national’ histories obscure. From this wider perspective, the development of the lordship of Galloway can be considered in the context of the spreading power and regional rivalries of English, Irish and Scottish kings, and a reassessment of the emergence of the unitary lordship controlled by Fergus of Galloway and his family. Traditional interpretations of the relationship of Fergus and his successors with the kings of England and Scotland are challenged and new light is thrown on the beginnings of the processes of progressive domination of Galloway by, and integration into, the kingdom of the Scots. The end of the autonomous lordship in the 1230s is projected against the backdrop of the aggressive state-building activities of King Alexander II and the transformation of its rulers from independently minded princes and warlords into Anglo-Scottish barons.
