Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous (Deluxe Edition)
**LIMITED EDITION WITH DELUXE DESIGNED EDGES**
STARDEW VALLEY meets STUDIO GHIBLI in a charming cozy fantasy about healing, redemption, and the subtle magic of simple living. Perfect for fans of Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea and The Spellshop. Welcome home, weary traveler.
When Oaklin Nettlewood accidentally joined an evil world-ending cult, mind control magic forced them to do unspeakable things. Years later, the realm's heroes have finally saved the day, defeated the villain, and shattered the last remnants of the spell...leaving destruction in their wake. And so, with a spell-damaged memory and whole bushel of trauma, Oaklin escapes to a small farm on the edge of Mossley’s Rest and swears an oath: After all the things they were forced to do with their magic, they will never use it again. Ever.
The no-nonsense ghost granny who lives in Oaklin’s house has other ideas. As she coaxes Oaklin out of their shell and back into the world, they find companionship (a grumpy horse and a very good dog), friendship (a local bard and magical baker who should just kiss already), and tentative romance (a paladin-librarian who makes Oaklin's heart come alive for the first time in ages.) Magic even seems possible again?though strictly for foraging magical mushrooms and protecting the farm from bugs.
Healing comes in gentle waves, and Oaklin doesn't have to do it alone. So what does it mean when an inquisitor comes to town to hunt former cultists just as Oaklin begins to think that maybe, just maybe, they deserve a happy ending after all?
Too Sensitive
Too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive.A lack of response from a friend about weekend plans has you replaying every interaction, wondering if they’re pulling away.A short, blunt message from your manager leaves you convinced you’re in trouble, even if there’s no clear sign.Your partner is distant for a minute because he’s preoccupied with work, and you assume the relationship’s over.From leading psychiatrist Dr Sasha Hamdani comes this groundbreaking, practical guide to an overlooked, frequently misunderstood phenomenon: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Often, but not exclusively, found in people with ADHD, RSD is extreme emotional pain triggered by the perception of rejection or criticism.Blending psychiatry, neuroscience and her own lived experience, Dr Hamdani offers a clear explanation of the condition, and a questionnaire to assess your own level of emotional sensitivity. Her CALM YOUR MIND twelve-step protocol is a suite of tools, from Label Your Emotions to Understand Your Triggers, proven to help handle extreme emotion and spiralling.Too Sensitive also features an extensive rundown of real-life situations known to trigger RSD, covering relationships, work and career, friendships, family and self worth and sets out how to manage them, in the moment, using the CALM YOUR MIND tools,“Whether you’ve always known you were “sensitive” or you’re just beginning to understand it, this is your guide to turning that sensitivity into strength.”

An Unwritten Novel
Saving fleeting snapshots, astutely observing strangers, recording meticulous detail: modernist author Virginia Woolf knows how to capture a moment.In 'Kew Gardens' and 'An Unwritten Novel', everyday life becomes a powerful stage for dreaming and storytelling. Woolf’s trademark stream-of-consciousness writing style is showcased in 'The Mark on the Wall' where a nameless narrator zeroes in on their environment, becoming more and more unnerved by a seemingly inexplicable dark stain.'The New Dress' and 'The Looking Glass' are brilliantly observed portraits of a few choice instants. In the former, the party dress Mabel Waring decides to wear leaves her feeling uncertain and doubtful, but she resolves to change for the better. In each of these seven stories, Woolf explores the nuanced events which make up daily life and maps how they intertwine with our thoughts and emotions.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.

The Telephone
From the New York Times bestselling author, a thrilling history of the telephone and how we fell in and out of love with a technology that changed not just the world, but changed us.'Charts our distance-compressing, time-shifting telephonic adventure with exceptional brio and subtlety' – Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth ExtinctionOne hundred and fifty years ago the telephone burst onto the world stage like magic, a supernatural instrument bringing voices from afar. Its invention has been celebrated as a triumph of individual ingenuity and vision, but was in fact a contest replete with bribery, fraud and speculation, and no one, not even its inventors, realised what it was good for or how ubiquitous it would become.Instantly, the ability to speak across vast distances began to transform every part of life: from business organization to military tactics, from news gathering to sex work. Along the way, the telephone changed human nature. As it settled into the background – in offices and on streets, on bedside tables and kitchen walls – people forgot how they ever lived without it.In The Telephone, bestselling author James Gleick reveals the continuous revolution sparked by its invention and the corrupt scheming and ruthless tactics of those who sought to make money from it, tracking the rise of the largest monopoly in history.As dial telephones, landlines, telephone books and telephone booths vanish into the past, he shows how this commonplace object irreversibly changed not only the world but who we are as human beings.'Gleick does what only the best science writers can do: take a subject of which most of us are only peripherally aware and put it at the center of the universe' – Time

The Coastal Garden
Explore the world’s most stunning coastlines in this breathtaking collection of gardens by the sea
Creating gardens in harmony with their environment is a key aspect of garden design today. Nowhere is this more apparent than in gardens created on our coastlines, whether that be atop a rocky Mediterranean cliffside, tucked in a sheltered bay on Britain’s south coast, or on the edge of a sandy beach in Australia. Rooted in their location and offering unforgettable water views, coastal gardens embody an atmosphere of tranquillity, beauty, and an intenseconnection with nature.
The Coastal Garden invites readers to explore 48 extraordinary private gardens set along the world’s most iconic coastlines. These verdant spaces represent a broad variety of terrains, climates, and garden styles – from Bernard Trainor’s design for a surfing family, overlooking the waves in sunny California, to Ulf Nordfjell’s thoughtful, rambling garden on the southern coast of Sweden.
The gardens address one of four different contexts for coastal environments: gardens atop rocky cliffs, planting for resiliency, framing ocean views, and gardens on the beach. The four chapters open with an exploratory text on the theme by writer and editor Sorrel Everton. Each garden feature is then brought to life through striking, large-scale color photographs and a short informative text, also written by Everton. Descriptive image captions provide further context, including planting information and special design details.
Along with in-depth garden features, an introduction by acclaimed plantsman and designer Nigel Dunnett offers insights into both the natural obstacles and incredible benefits of coastal gardens. A garden directory at the back, organized geographically, allows for easy reference.
Beautifully produced and filled with inspiration, The Coastal Garden will transport home gardeners, professional designers, and armchair travelers to these exceptional green spaces overlooking our oceans and seas.
Featured garden designers include: Paul Bangay, Louis Benech, Isabel Duprat, Jennifer Gay, Daniel Hinkley, Phillip Johnson, Raymond Jungles, Ron Lutsko, Jean Mus, Watson + Pellacini, Rees Roberts + Partners, and STIMSON
Featured garden photographers include : Heidi Bertish, Richard Bloom, Jason Ingram, Marianne Majerus, Clive Nichols, and Claire Takacs

The New Dark Ages
The world we knew is passing away and nothing will ever be the same again.
Welcome to the post-literate society. Books are dying. Across the world the number of people reading is in free fall. Literacy is declining or stagnating in most developed countries. At universities, students are unable to read the books assigned to them. Addictive digital entertainment technologies have colonised our free time with infantilising ‘slop’. For the first time since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire ushered in the Dark Ages, the golden chain of knowledge linking reader to reader through the centuries is breaking. The decline in reading is the most important cultural shift of our time.The New Dark Ages is an impassioned defence of the written word and an attack on the trivial and meaningless culture of the screen. Drawing on history and classic works of literature and theory, The New Dark Ages argues that reading and writing are essential for innovation, creativity and critical thinking.Above all, the culture of print is essential to the functioning of modern democracies which require their citizens to grapple with ideas at length and in depth. And as print dies, we risk returning to the chaos, tribalism, and rage of a pre-literate society.
