A Little Slice of Sky
Max lives in a tall building in a crowded city. From his window, all he can see below is the busy street with people bustling to and fro. All he can see above is a little slice of sky, but every day he gazes at it, wondering what might be out there, beyond the blue, amongst the clouds. Then, one day, a bird appears from the little slice of sky, and lands on his window ledge. The bird is looking for a friend. But not just any friend – a very special friend, to whom it can give a tiny but amazing gift. The gift is a magical seedling. Max takes great care of the little plant, and every day it grows bigger and stronger, its glossy leaves stretching up toward the little slice of sky. Soon it has grown into a mighty tree. And that’s when everything changes. Not only for Max, but for everyone in the city.

Enemies in Agreement
Why do adversaries sometimes cooperate to restrain their military competition? Why do they design arms control agreements with intrusive verification in some cases but rely on minimal transparency in others? Amidst ongoing international competition, arms control remains rare despite potential mutual benefits, and agreements vary dramatically in their approaches to monitoring. This book reveals how uncertainty from domestic political changes-such as leadership transitions or social unrest- can enable arms control. It identifies two paths to agreement: during periods of uncertainty, states that previously relied on informal understandings hedge by establishing lightly-monitored agreements, while those that anticipated deception take calculated risks through agreements with intensive verification. Through comprehensive data analysis and rich case studies, Jane Vaynman challenges conventional wisdom about uncertainty in international relations while offering insights for policymakers. As states confront challenges from nuclear competition to emerging technologies, understanding when arms control becomes viable is more vital than ever.

The Unfragile Mind
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ADVENTURES IN HUMAN BEING AND RECOVERY This book is about the contours and landscapes of mental health. We experience the world through the filter of our emotions, but those emotions can be fickle as well as misleading. As human beings we have power over them, and when your feelings are bad, it can be helpful to remember that your being is something quite separate from them entirely.Maps of the Mind traces some of the routes through mental health that Dr Gavin Francis''s patients have shown him over his decades as a physician. The twenty-first century has opened up vital conversations about ''mental weather'': moods that bring gusts of panic, others that bring freezing fogs of despondency. Now, we need a new model of healthcare which moves beyond diagnosis and offers robust shelters to take cover in until the worst storms pass. What would a framework of mental wellness look like instead, one which understands the different landscapes of mental health we continuously move in and out o? eaturing sensitive case studies from his own practice alongside conversations with therapists, psychiatrists and psychologists, Dr Gavin Francis examines the landscape of Western mental healthcare today and offers new perspectives on the maintenance of mental wellbeing.

Impressionism
A new edition of Belinda Thomson's highly accessible survey, which brings together the latest research on this perennially popular art movement.
The enduring popularity of Impressionism belies what the group of painters dubbed the Impressionists stood for. In the 1870s and 1880s, French artists, including Pissarro, Monet, Degas, Morisot and Renoir, adopted a revolutionary style of technique and subject matter that defied the traditions of the French Academy and the Salons. Rooted in anarchism, political radicalism, and a belief in science and individualism, their paintings captured modern life in ways never seen before.
Belinda Thomson's insightful study sheds light on the personal lives and creative thinking of the Impressionists, exploring the factors that shaped their masterpieces. From family backgrounds to the importance of the art market and the critical reception that challenged yet ultimately defined their work, this introduction offers a nuanced exploration of one of the most transformative movements in art history.
The Quiet Home
"'House hushing' is a new interiors trend that's making (the right kind of) noise in these troubling times." Guardian
A beautiful, authoritative guide to the concept of house hushing, The Quiet Home incorporates design principles and strategies for dialling down the visual noise in your home, and creating serene interiors that promote calm and wellbeing. It takes a pared-down, thoughtful approach to home interiors and
explains how to create spaces that whisper rather than shout.
The Quiet Home takes as its starting point the idea that everything in an interior has a voice and creates noise. By reducing this visual noise through thoughtful design principles and strategies we can create a more serene living environment that in turn increases our wellbeing. A concept that delves deeper than aesthetic principles and how a home looks, quietening the spaces we live in can greatly affect how we feel.
The book provides insights for both creating a quiet home and adopting a more considered way of life, with chapters on Foundations, Mindful Minimalism, The Art of the Edit and Room by Room. Each chapter is accompanied by beautiful imagery that takes the reader on a global journey of inspiring homes and design. A comprehensive guide to read cover to cover, the book's chapters can also be read in any order, providing clear reference points for a range of home projects, large or small.

The World After Gaza
Memory of the Holocaust, the ultimate atrocity of Europe’s civil wars and the paradigmatic genocide, has shaped the Western political and moral imagination in the postwar era. Fears of its recurrence have been routinely invoked to justify Israel’s policies against Palestinians. But for most people around the world – the ‘darker peoples’, in W. E. B. Du Bois’s words – the main historical memory is of the traumatic experiences of slavery and colonialism, and the central event of the twentieth century is decolonisation – freedom from the white man’s world.
The World After Gaza takes the war in the Middle East, and the bitterly polarised reaction to it within as well as outside the West, as the starting point for a broad reevaluation of two competing narratives of the last century: the West’s triumphant account of victory over Nazi and communist totalitarianism, and the spread of liberal capitalism, and the global majority's frequently thwarted vision of racial equality. At a moment when the world’s balance of power is shifting and a long-dominant Western minority no longer commands the same authority and credibility, it is critically important to enter the experiences and perspectives of the majority of the world’s population.
As old touchstones and landmarks crumble, only a new history with a sharply different emphasis can reorient us to the world and worldviews now emerging into the light. In this concise, powerful and pointed treatise, Mishra reckons with the fundamental questions posed by our present crisis – about whether some lives matter more than others, why identity politics built around memories of suffering is being widely embraced and why racial antagonisms are intensifying amid a far-right surge in the West, threatening a global conflagration. The World After Gaza is an indispensable moral guide to our past, present and future.
The Intimate Animal
Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, or stray from rewarding ones? Why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love?
In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex - reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution. We are biologically wired to connect with each other, yet our inner intimate animal is often at odds with the way we live now.
Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from his team of researchers at the world-leading Kinsey Institute, including:
- Why we have evolved to live and die for love
- Why searching for 'the one' is futile
- Why we are wired for 'social monogamy' but not necessarily 'sexual monogamy'
- Why some people are more likely to cheat
With practical tips on love and lust - the two biological systems often in painful conflict - The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times.
