A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning
Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists – they’ve all confided in her'Remarkable' THE TIMESSome are harder to shake than others. There’s sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex’s window and threatened to cut off his… well, you get the picture. Jak, who burned down his grandfather’s shed and prized model railway. And who could forget Steve who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn’t for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth’s professional opinion, Britain’s most fastidious murderer. Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain’s probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer’s Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society’s most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.
The Cats of Poets Square
Previously published as Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People kept asking: Why would you have cats that don't love you back?
The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats, who, to her surprise, would expand her world spectacularly.
Beebs was the first to appear. Then there was Monkey, the dark-blotched 'scheming little gremlin' calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers' wedding vows. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely fearless.
Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, it explores what loving these feral creatures, in all their noise and need, can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.
Sum of Us
'A masterpiece of storytelling' Robert Winder Georgina Sturge, House of Commons Library statistician and author of the critically acclaimed Bad Data, explores the rich history of the times the UK has counted itself - from the revolutionary first census of 1801 to modern worries over technological surveillance. Condensing a whole society into numbers brought hidden problems to light: mapping cholera deaths in Soho led researchers to a single deadly water pump; Florence Nightingale stunned the Victorian establishment with her diagrams showing disease was the soldier's hidden enemy; and the discovery that industries like firework-making were almost entirely staffed by women helped improve workers' rights. Full of fascinating social detail, Sum of Us draws out the human stories captured in the vast tangle of data the UK has collected over two centuries. It provides a vital snapshot not of who we imagine ourselves to be - but who we really are.

Už mi dávno není padesát
Po úspěšných sbírkách povídek Ať žijí padesátnice a Padesátka v nouzovém stavu přichází Hana Hřebejková s dalším dílem svých humorných historek ze života. Ze života ženy, která oslavila své padesátiny už před nějakým tím pátkem, ženy, která ráda cestuje, hoduje, zpívá, miluje své děti, vnoučata a přátele a z každé lapálie dokáže vytěžit příhodu, kterou pobaví své blízké. Třeba o tom, zda lze i v pokročilém věku s vášní skládat puzzle v dětském koutku, jak se vydávat za sestru vlastní dcery či jak se vypořádat s hlučným sousedem. S autorkou se vypravíme za humornými historkami na lázeňský pobyt do Františkových Lázní, na zájezd do Alsaska i po památkách naší vlasti. Zavzpomínáme na dobu kovidu i na mladá léta, na trampoty rodinného života, práci v zahraničí a dozvíme se třeba i to, jak najít zvonící mobil zastrčený za gumou vlastních kalhot.

Nad slovami sv. Maxima Vyznávača - O láske 1
Sú knihy, ktoré človek prečíta a odloží, a potom sú také, ktoré sa stávajú spoločníkmi na celý život. K takým patrí aj dielo „400 textov o láske“ od svätého Maxima Vyznávača, ktorému v našej novej publikácii venujeme osobitnú pozornosť. Dovoľte nám namiesto dlhých recenzií ponúknuť slová samotného svätca, ktoré napísal svojmu priateľovi, kňazovi Elpidiosovi. Tieto slová sú totiž najlepším návodom, ako túto knihu čítať: „Zhustil som spisy svätých otcov do krátkych odstavcov, aby boli ľahšie na zapamätanie a osvojenie. Prosím ťa, čítaj ich s pochopením a hľadaj iba to, čo je užitočné... Mnohé kapitoly potrebujú hlbšie štúdium, aj keď sa zdajú byť veľmi jednoduchými.“ Prečo si túto knihu zamilujete? -Esencia otcov: Nie je to len teória, ale výber toho najlepšieho, čo svätý Maxim našiel u svojich predchodcov. -Proti „záplave slov“: V dobe, kedy je veľa hovoriacich, ale málo konajúcich, nás Maxim pozýva k učeniu sa skutkami. -Čítanie, ktoré mení: Táto kniha nie je pre zvedavcov hľadajúcich informácie, ale pre duše hľadajúce Božiu milosť a bázeň. Prijmite toto pozvanie k uvažovaniu nad učením jedného z najvýznamnejších autorov Filokalie. Nech je pre vás každá jedna kapitola z týchto štyroch stoviek krokom bližšie k autentickej láske k Bohu aj blížnemu.
We Are As Gods
In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.
We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn't whether humanity can play god. It's whether we can do it wisely.
In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species' next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity's ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.
Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.
Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won't be built by those who fear what's coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.
Abundance is here. Are you ready?

Build
Everyone deserves a mentor.
For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:
Here's how to think about choosing a job.
Here's how to be a better manager.
Here's how to approach design.
Here's how to start a company.
Here's how to run it.
Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.
So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.
But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.
Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.

Elizabeth - An Intimate Portrait
The intimate life story of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, from the royal biographer and writer who knew her family best.
Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in 1968, when he was twenty years old. Over the next fifty years he would meet her many times at both public and private events, his friendship with the Duke of Edinburgh giving him privileged access to Elizabeth II.
Based upon his unrivalled access to royal circles, this is the definitive and intimate biography of Queen Elizabeth II. Telling the story of her remarkable life and reign from a perspective unlike any other, it is his observations of the late monarch at close quarters that make this very personal account of her extraordinary life uniquely fascinating.
From her childhood in the 1920s and her war years at Windsor Castle, to the era of Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, and her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a remarkable woman.
Told with a refreshing dose of humour and moving honesty, Elizabeth is the must-read biography of the longest-serving monarch in English history.
