Nagato-class Battleships 1920–46
An illustrated study of Japan’s Nagato-class battleships: the IJN’s powerful super-dreadnoughts, which were heavily modernized to fight in World War II. Illustrated with the author’s much-acclaimed 3D reconstructions, naval researcher Stefan Draminski offers a technical and operational study of Nagato and Mutsu, Japan’s most powerful battleships of the dreadnought era. They were the world’s first battleships to mount 16-inch guns, and signalled Japan’s determination to build a fleet that qualitatively outmatched the world’s leading navies. Entering service in the 1920s, they would be heavily modernized before the outbreak of the Pacific War, which Nagato would start as Yamamoto’s flagship for the Pearl Harbor attack. Both ships were present at the Battle of Midway, and though Mutsu would be sunk by a magazine explosion in 1943, Nagato fought at Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf, before being modified again and moored at Yokosuka as an antiaircraft battery. The last Japanese battleship afloat on VJ-Day, Nagato was sunk in 1946 at Bikini Atoll in the Crossroads nuclear test. Drawing on Japanese-language sources and original documentation, this is a concisely detailed account of these formidable battleships, superbly illustrated with archive photos and artwork showing the ships through their careers and in action.
Paradiso 17
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2026 ‘Miraculous’ OMAR EL AKKAD ‘Stunning’ MAAZA MENGISTE ‘Suffused with tenderness’ NEW YORK TIMES ‘Beautiful and powerful’ LISA OWENS ‘Wondrous’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH An extraordinary, sweeping novel following one man's itinerant search for home across the globe, after his childhood exile from Palestine. All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe. Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. In this moment time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward – although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the forgetful assurance of wine. When life carries him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls in love with a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Until finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of a desert much like his first home. Paradiso 17 is haunted with grief and yet it is also struck through with the dazzling light of a life truly lived and a love that connects us, no matter our distance. Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins. Listen, this is his story. ‘An exquisite novel … unforgettable’ OMAR EL AKKAD, author of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This ‘I could not put this down … Compassionate, elegiac and suffuse with unflinching wit’ MAAZA MENGISTE, author of The Shadow King ‘A gripping story of a soul in exile’ JUSTIN TORRES, author of Blackouts ‘A miraculous novel’ KASIM ALI, author of Who Will Remain ‘Remarkable … read it, read it, read it’ RABIH ALAMEDDINE, author of The True True Story of Raja the Gullible ‘Lyrical and gorgeously original … reads as poetry’ LITHUB
Lifeboat at the End of the World
'Unflinchingly candid and extraordinarily powerful' DAILY TELEGRAPH ‘Dominic Gregory hasn’t just delivered a survey of courage and determination – Lifeboat at the End of the World is a hymn to human decency, and that makes it a very timely book indeed’ TIM WINTON Do you really think all lives are worth saving? On the empty shingle beach of Dungeness, the volunteer crew of the lifeboat await her next launch. It might come in another week. Or it might even happen in the next few seconds… For two hundred years, the Dungeness lifeboat has launched in storms and heavy seas to frigates and barques, trawlers and dinghies. Like all lifeboat stations in the British Isles, it is led by a coxswain and staffed by volunteers. Dominic Gregory volunteers as part of her crew. Dungeness is itself a place apart. An ever-shifting expanse of shingle jutting into the English Channel, it is overshadowed by its nuclear power station and made famous by Derek Jarman’s flotsam garden. Dungeness also has where millions of migrating birds and insects first make landfall in the British Isles. As a small place perhaps, but one that finds itself now at the centre of one of the biggest political stories of modern times. At the heart of this wonderful book is the lifeboat crew with whom Dominic Gregory serves, many of them from families who have volunteered for generations. These are remarkable yet ordinary men and women – who serve as shore crew, or boat crew, or who keep the records and brew the tea. All, in their different ways, give up their time, livelihoods and safety to brave wind, tide and storms, not to mention the peril of navigating between the vast floating skyscrapers that make up so much of modern shipping. Then there is coxswain Stuart Adams whose quiet, competent leadership ensures he acts as the still point in a spinning world. Lifeboat at the End of the World is the first book to depict the experience of what it is like to volunteer on a lifeboat: the smells of the water, the little knots when an alarm comes, how the crew is trained, the teamwork and trust, the ethos of the service. But it is when inflatable dinghies – overloaded with people – begin arriving on the shores of Dungeness that the lifeboat crew must face perhaps their greatest test. Dominic Gregory’s non-fiction writing offers extraordinary power and immediacy. While most of us will never serve in a lifeboat, we might find ourselves thankful for their unflinching and fearless assistance at sea.

Nine Months That Count Forever
From the author of the no. 1 internationally bestselling Glucose Revolution, the must-have guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition
Most pregnant women are told: "Don't worry - eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what he needs from you." But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy shapes your baby's brain, body, and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules - until now.
When biochemist Jessie Inchauspe became pregnant, she sifted through hundreds of studies and uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby's development in the womb; yet most women don't get nearly enough of the first three-and too much of the fourth. And the effects can last a lifetime.
In 9 Months That Count Forever, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to optimise these four nutrients, and help give your baby a stronger foundation for life. These principles can:
- Support your baby's brain development, cognitive growth, and emotional resilience
- Lower the risk of asthma, allergies, and diabetes later in life
- Influence your baby's body composition, organ function, and long-term metabolism
Complete with guidance on supplements, nausea, labour, breastfeeding, as well as meal plans and recipes, 9 Months That Count Forever also shares Jessie's deeply honest account of her own pregnancy journey, offering support and reassurance through these crucial months.
This landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy-and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.

Reparenting the Inner Child
If you're ready to stop repeating the past and finally start building the future you deserve, you need to read this book. Mel Robbins, internationally bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins PodcastFrom the internationally bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potentialAs adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character-shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt-learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.

What Am I, A Deer?
What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
