The Common Good Economy
The world-leading economist envisions a 'common good compass' to help navigate our economies in a radically different direction - one that works for everyone
Our economic system is broken. The climate crisis is accelerating. Inequality is deepening. Public trust is crumbling. Wealth concentrates in fewer hands while governments scramble to fix what markets can't do, rather than to shape them from the outset.
For too long, economics has treated 'the good' - whether public goods or the commons - as merely correcting market or government failures. This economic framing traps us in an endless cycle of being reactive, patching problems rather than proactively building the economy we need.
In The Common Good Economy, Mariana Mazzucato builds on her visionary ideas of the entrepreneurial state and mission-oriented policies to establish a new theory of the common good, one which allows governments and businesses to develop purposeful economic relationships, creating value and building spaces where human flourishing can happen. She argues that how we achieve collective goals - through collective action, participation and reciprocity - matters as much as what those goals are. The book provides a practical 'common good compass' to help navigate our economies in a radically different direction.
Full of compelling real-world examples, from governing water to transforming procurement and finance, this is a rigorous reimagining of economics and a manifesto for a future economy that serves people and the planet. It could not be more timely.
To the Stars and Back (A Graphic Novel): Volume 2
The heart-pounding conclusion to the sunshine-grumpy romance that is a WEBTOON sensation, now with 18 pages of swoony new comics.
Bo Seon and Kang Dae have been neighbors for months and best friends for nearly as long. Their bond has only deepened, but Bo Seon can no longer ignore the butterflies in his stomach. He likes Kang Dae, as more than a friend, but fears confessing could ruin what they already share.
On one starry night, the truth finally comes out, and everything changes. Their feelings align, and they begin a new chapter together as a couple. Yet love, they discover, is more than a confession... It requires trust. Bo Seon carries secrets from his past that he has never spoken aloud, retreating further into himself with each passing day. Kang Dae, determined and patient, vows to earn his trust before it is too late.
Tender, heartfelt, and honest, this is a story about first love, the courage it takes to be completely vulnerable, and the healing that comes when two people choose each other completely.
Hidden Nature
The beloved multi-million copy bestselling author is back with a brand-new novel about an injured cop in a race against time to find a twisted serial killer
Frustrated and bored, injured cop Sloan Cooper is looking for anything to distract her from staring down the barrel of months of slow, painful recovery. When a woman mysteriously vanishes without trace from a supermarket car park, Sloan knows there is more to this case than meets the eye. As she begins to investigate she quickly uncovers similar cases across three states. Men and women, old and young-all with seemingly nothing in common. And the abductions keep happening.
With no clues to speak of and a list of the missing growing almost daily, it will take every ounce of Sloan's endurance to get to the dark heart of this bizarre case. And she's willing to risk her life again if that's what it takes...
Flick - A History of Female Pleasure
FLICK is a rousing history of women enjoying sex: sex with themselves, sex with each other, and occasionally sex with men as well.
Meet the women throughout history who, quite literally, came before us.
From the host of award-winning History Hit podcast Betwixt the Sheets.
There is a common misconception that before modern day feminism, women throughout history simply lay back and thought of England or their respective place of origin; that the modern 'sex positive' movement is a radical break from the past. But women demanding better sex did not arrive with free love or the Rampant Rabbit. It has been a very long fight indeed.
From Ancient Mesopotamian sex goddesses to the contraceptive pill, Kate Lister takes us through history to show us how women's sexual pleasure was controlled, understood and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed.
Shadows of Sparta - The Spartan Flame Trilogy 1
Enter the world of Sparta as you've never experienced it before with the much-anticipated dark romantasy based on the myth of Helen of Troy, from USA Today bestselling author C.R. Jane.
Sparta is dying.
Gods once ruled the land, until King Menelaus cast them out and crowned himself in their place. Now drought scorches the earth, and a mysterious affliction steals the breath from the living, while defiance is answered with blood.
When the king resurrects the ancient trials meant to choose his queen, Helena becomes her dying village's only hope. Marked by a terrible beauty, she steps forward not for glory - but for survival. But beauty alone cannot save her from a crown stolen from the gods.
Alone in a dangerous court, Helena must decide whom to trust: Achilles, a legendary warrior bound to the throne by blood and oath, or a mysterious prisoner bearing forbidden magics and long-buried. One guards her cage. The other whispers how to escape it. And one of them is lying. If Helena chooses wrong, Sparta will not simply fall. It will kneel.
With the fate of her people resting on her shoulders, Helena must claim the throne of Sparta - or be destroyed by it.
The Traitors Circle
When the whole world is lying, someone must tell the truth.
Berlin, 1943. A group of high-society anti-Nazi dissenters meet for a tea party one late summer afternoon. They do not know that, sitting around the table, is someone poised to betray them all to the Gestapo - revealing their secret to the Nazis' most ruthless detective.
They form a circle of unlikely rebels, drawn from the German elite: two countesses, a diplomat, an intelligence officer, an ambassador's widow and a pioneering headmistress. Meeting in the shadows, rescuing Jews or plotting for a future Germany freed from the Führer's rule, what unites them is a shared loathing of the Nazis, a refusal to bow to Hitler and the courage to perform perilous acts of resistance. Or so they believe.
How did a group of brave, principled rebels, who had successfully defied Adolf Hitler for more than a decade, come to fall into such a lethal trap? And who betrayed them?
Undone from within and pursued to near-destruction by one of the Reich's cruellest men, they showed a heroism that raises a question with new urgency for our time: what kind of person does it take to risk everything and stand up to tyranny?

Lamborghini
Since the unveiling of the Lamborghini Miura – the world’s first V12-powered mid-engine road car – at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, this marque from Sant’Agata Bolognese with the raging bull emblem has been one of the most famous and desirable purveyors of the supercar. Valentino Balboni, legendary former Lamborghini test driver, has been famously quoted as saying “Lamborghini is a carmaker that makes engines, the job of the designers was to design the engine cover.” Yet, in its almost six decades long history, the supercar maker has constructed just four different engines: the extraordinary Giotto Bizzarrini-designed V12 that powered Lamborghini’s flagships for the best part of five decades, a promising V8 that almost brought the company to its knees, a V10 that uses many Audi components and has been the mainstay of the marque in the last two decades, and lastly another newer V12, powering the Aventador. However, what has really distinguished Lamborghini, has been a series of models with remarkable, groundbreaking shapes, each one a veritable design revolution. Cars like the Miura, the Espada, the Urraco, the Countach and the Diablo astounded and startled automotive fans just as much by their daring shape, form and aesthetic purity, as by their second-to-none engineering and trendsetting packaging. This book celebrates the design history of Lamborghini through numerous period reports and previously unpublished images, delving into the extraordinary shapes and the intrepid personalities who made Lamborghini what it is today. .
Bacon Disfigured
A collection of essays that opens up new connections between Francis Bacon's art and the ideas of key thinkers.
Francis Bacon is undoubtedly one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. In his paintings, Bacon radically disfigures his subjects, making them all but unrecognizable. This is no mere stylistic quirk, but the expression of a deeply held aesthetic vision. For Bacon, the essence of a subject can only be captured in the distorted recording of its appearance. His disfigurations are therefore, as he himself says, attempts to bring back the intensity of reality, to paint images that are 'truer than the literal truth'.
In this groundbreaking collection of essays, some of today's leading philosophers and psychoanalytic theorists go to work on Bacon. They do to the artist what the artist does to his own figures: they disfigure and distort him, twisting and turning him into something new and previously unseen. This strategy of disfiguration blasts Bacon out of his traditional contexts, opening up new connections between his art and the ideas of key thinkers, including Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Freud, Canguilhem, Genet, Lacan, Adorno and Althusser. The results are revelatory, allowing us to transform our understanding not only of Bacon but also of modernism itself.
Vzpomínky na mrtvé
V tomto mrazivém románu autora „nezapomenutelného a děsivého“ (cit. Harlan Coben) Honu na Bubáka se skupina studentů během cesty po Apalačských horách střetne s nadpřirozenou hrůzou.
1983: Tři vysokoškolští studenti se vydávají na týdenní výlet, aby pro svůj školní projekt natočili dokument o pomníčcích u silnice. Projekt začíná jako zábavné dobrodružství provázené dlouhými jízdami po prázdných silnicích a nočními táboráky, kde se sobě navzájem začínají otevírat.
Když se však odváží vydat hlouběji do apalačských lesů, atmosféra začíná temnět. Všímají si, že stále více památníků obsahuje zvláštní, znepokojivý symbol, který ukazuje na zlověstné tajemství. Paranoia se prohlubuje, když se jim začne zdát, že jsou sledováni. S jejich vozidlem je přes noc manipulováno a někteří místní obyvatelé působí všelijak, jen ne vlídně.
Zanedlouho začne studenty trápit otázka, zda tato úmrtí na silnici byla skutečně náhodnými nehodami… nebo se tady děje cosi děsivého?

Asi nejsem na tenhle svět stavěná
V osmnácti letech se Marie nechá dobrovolně hospitalizovat v psychiatrické léčebně. Od té chvíle jde ale všechno z kopce. Mrazivě upřímný příběh z místa, kde se nikdo z nás netouží ocitnout.
Marie má milující rodiče, stabilní zázemí a všechny předpoklady pro šťastný život. Něco je ale špatně. Přestává jíst, řeže se žiletkou a z videí na YouTube se naučí píchat si heroin, jen aby umlčela hlasy v hlavě. Jenže ty se umlčet nedají. Nutí ji odmítat léky a trestat se, jinak prý ublíží její rodině. Hranice mezi halucinacemi a realitou se rozplývá.
Marie se zas a znovu vrací na uzavřené oddělení. Tam tráví dlouhé hodiny i celé dny připoutaná k lůžku. Podstupuje léčbu elektrošoky. Nic ovšem nezabírá. Selhává systém, selhává ona sama. Přesto temnotou občas probleskne naděje, humor a lidskost.

Mother Mary Comes To Me
The incredible first memoir from the Booker-winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 2026
'Heart-smashed' by the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen and shaken by the intensity of her response, Arundhati Roy began this remarkable memoir - a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and the writer she is: shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother, Mary, who she describes as 'my shelter and my storm'.
With the scale, sweep and depth of her novels, and the passion, political clarity and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace - a memoir like no other.
A Taste For Murder
For Detective Chief Inspector Joe Mottram, a summer on the island of Capri was meant to be an opportunity to reconnect with his troubled teenage daughter, Angelica, and his Italian in-laws, after his wife's Francesca's death by a hit-and-run.
But when a British tourist is found dead and a member of his late wife's family is accused of murder, Joe is pulled back into a world of police cells, crime scenes and local corruption. As he discovers more about the island, he realises it holds the answers to Francesca's death, which may not have been a tragic accident after all.
Going Nuclear
What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?
This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.
Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future.

Blending cutting-edge science with practical, reassuring advice, Ferment shows how small changes to what's on your plate can make a big difference to your health.
The Revolutionists
A thrilling and unprecedented account of the radicalism and political extremism that gripped the 1970s - a seismic decade that transformed the modern world.
In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, all united by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and 'Western imperialism'. Their audacious attacks brought governments to their knees and glued nations to their TV screens.
Drawing on decades of research, declassified and secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. In this underground realm of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to radical change at any cost, he reveals the dark origins of our fractured world today.
