The Book of Birds
A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way –– but we will not save what we do not love.
The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.
With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats –– their patterns of flight and of song, how they hunt and gather, how they nest and raise their young, the stories and myths which attend them, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with our own. And on every page we encounter Jackie Morris’s exhilarating artwork, painted in watercolour and gold and animated by an extraordinary attention to detail and sense of life. Set among this dazzling flock of species are seven sections celebrating the 'Seven Wonders' that together make up the everyday miracle of 'Bird': Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight and Migration.
Seven years in the making, The Book of Birds is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky. From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book to be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference.

The Warrior
An intimate, original biography of tennis legend Rafael Nadal, and the first to cover his entire career.
After his award-winning look at Roger Federer, Christopher Clarey, one of the world's pre-eminent tennis writers, focuses his lens on Nadal, the Spanish force of nature. When he arrived on the scene in 2005, the record for men's singles titles at the French Open stood at six. Nadal more than doubled that total to a mind-blowing fourteen titles: one of the greatest sporting achievements in history.
Nadal won big and won often on all of tennis's surfaces: securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and six on the US Open and Australian Open hard courts. But clay, the grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all came together best for his whipping forehand and warrior mindset.
Clarey, who has covered Nadal since he was seventeen, draws on interviews over twenty years with Nadal, his team and rivals like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Brimming with behind-the-scenes insight, The Warrior tells the story of a global sporting icon, interlacing man and place in a unique, must-read account of the evolution of excellence.
Dope

Arguably thats even more alluring - just look at the Enhanced Games, the sporting free-for-all where doping is allowed that will take place in 2026. The lengths athletes, and their support teams, go to in search of peak performance is unsettling, dangerous and captivating.

Is it in a country that doesnt have an accredited testing lab nearby? The alarm bells ring.
Its good versus evil, but whos winning?
Through the lens of case studies through the history of doping in sport, Dope! examines the landscape of sport and doping in the modern era. It uncovers the common methods of cheating and what tricks the authorities have up their sleeves to identify and catch those who cross the line.
This is an eye-opening and enthralling account of modern day sport - one which will change the way you view it forever.
The Wilder Way
Eva had it all: a high-flying job, a picture-perfect marriage, a lifestyle that many would aspire to. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that she is living someone else's dream.
After hitting rock bottom, she bought a one-way ticket to Nepal and left her old life behind in search of her true path in life.
Over the next few years, Eva travelled solo to some of the world's most far-flung places - A lone horse trek in Mongolia, COVID lockdown on a desert island in Yemen and overlanding across the US in an 18-year-old truck with her beloved dog, Vilk. Along the way, she grew an engaged online community and transformed from someone living society's idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own.
But the shift from a rooted life to a transient one was far from straightforward and Eva grappled with the tension between her wanderlust and a longing for somewhere to call home.

Zápisky z vězení
Bestseller bývalého francouzského prezidenta a jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů světa, jehož zatčení vzbudilo mezinárodní rozruch a přepsalo dějiny
„Ve vězení není co vidět ani co dělat. Slyšet lze naopak mnoho, neboť ticho ve věznici La Santé neexistuje. Hluk je tam pohříchu neustálý. Ve vězení stejně jako na poušti sílí vnitřní život.“
Bývalý francouzský prezident Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012) byl na podzim roku 2025 odsouzen za zločinné spolčení k pěti letům vězení. Údajně totiž nepřímo oslovil osoby blízké libyjskému diktátorovi Muammaru Kaddáfímu a dohodl se s nimi na financování své prezidentské kampaně, což ale vždy důrazně popíral. Poprvé v historii Evropské unie se hlava členského státu ocitla za mřížemi. I přes odvolání ve vězení strávil tři týdny a během nich psal.
Ve svých zápiscích popisuje detaily pobytu v pařížské věznici La Santé, kde byl kdysi vězněn i generál Alfred Dreyfus. Vrací se k procesu, který uvěznění předcházel, i k nedávným rozhovorům s prezidentem Emmanuelem Macronem, s Marine Le Penovou a s dalšími současnými politickými představiteli Francie. Zamýšlí se nad svou politickou kariérou, dnešním stavem francouzské politiky i justice, jež jej podle jeho názoru soudí nikoli „za to, co udělal, ale za to, kým je“.

Rozprávaj mi o milosrdenstve
Srdce je bránou milosrdenstva i kľúčom k nemu.
Keď si otvoríme Sväté písmo, už prvé slová nám povedia, čo je najdôležitejšie pre naše spolunažívanie s ostatnými: každý človek je posvätný. Boh nám dal život a prebýva v každom z nás. Milosrdnými sme vtedy, keď túto pravdu do hĺbky rešpektujeme.
Inšpirujme sa príbehmi o milosrdenstve a veďme k nemu aj tých najmenších.
