Kane
One man at the heart of American power must undertake a crucial wartime spy mission that will take him into enemy territory before he even leaves US soil. Washington DC, 1941. Quincy Kane, hero of the Boston Police Department and scourge of organised crime, is now a Secret Service agent.

For Kane, American entry to World War II means the most crucial mission of his career: a complex scheme of bribery and subterfuge that will see him cross the Atlantic. He could change the course of the conflict and save thousands of Allied lives. First, though, he will have to survive a return to the world of organised crime via the City of Angels itself: Los Angeles, where every gangster has Quincy Kane in their crosshairs. From award-winning author Graham Hurley, Kane is a thrilling part of the Spoils of War Collection, a non-chronological series set during World War II and featuring some of the most momentous stories and figures of the era.

Only a Little While Here
Winner of the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize • Winner of Colombia’s National Novel Award This prizewinning novel interweaves four animal odysseys in a gripping, adventurous meditation on migration and displacement in the inextricable human and natural worlds. In Only a Little While Here, award-winning author María Ospina evokes the gratification to be found through close, humble observation of nature. With characteristic precision and intensity, Ospina trains our attention on the lives of five creatures: a migratory songbird dazzled by city lights, an orphaned porcupine saved by kindness, two dogs grieving the loss of their human companions, and a determined beetle transported to a vast, unimaginable world. The surprising drama of their lives reveals the fragility and power of belonging, and what it means to create—or lose—a home. Along the way, our narrator models the attentiveness needed to mend the rift between humans and non-human creatures and celebrates animals’ often-overlooked status as witnesses of our shared world. Alive with eagle-eyed curiosity, Only a Little While Here is ecological fiction at its most soul stirring.
Capitalism's Handmaidens
When we think of a “woman entrepreneur”, what comes to mind? Women entrepreneurs hold a dominant presence in political, social, economic and development imaginaries, as a global class of workers typifying the contemporary, neoliberal era. Their enterprise is readily proffered as the evidence of a nation’s progress, inclusion and development. International institutions, development banks, states, civil society groups, corporations and international financial institutions promote women’s enterprise in nearly every corner of the globe. A powerful mythology has grown up around the idea of women as empowered, financial saviour-mothers who benefit the prosperity, inclusivity, and security of a nation and the global economy. In this book, Melissa Langworthy exposes these myths for what they are and in offering a political economy of women’s enterprise, she asks what value women’s enterprise gives, not to women, but to the institutions that have shaped them and placed them in the centre of the global imaginary.

Plaid Cymru
In his ground-breaking study of Plaid Cymru’s political philosophy, Dr Alan Sandry challenges the conventional assumption that the party conforms to the traditional model of a nationalist party, contending that it shares the political ideologies of the environmentalist Green, decentralist Liberal and welfarist Socialist agendas. Referencing party literature and numerous interviews conducted with leading figures, Plaid Cymru – An Ideological Analysis investigates the party’s philosophical development since its establishment in 1925 and, using the ideological model created by the eminent political scientist Professor Michael Freeden, concludes that Plaid Cymru is primarily a socialist party.

Atlas of Botany
Plants first emerged on a very different looking Earth 500 million years ago. As land masses moved, plants were brought together in fierce competition with one another, or separated to continue their lives in very different conditions. On this evolutionary journey, they developed ingenious strategies to disperse and extend their range, and increase their diversity.
Plants have populated almost every part of Earth’s land surface – from tropical zones to cracks in city pavements – and have fundamentally shaped Earth's natural regions. Mapping the changing conditions and continents of the ancient world and the biomes of the modern one, Atlas of Botany explores how plants have overcome the challenges of survival, and how they have interacted with pollinators and people along the way.
In the pages of this sumptuous botanical book, you will discover:
• A unique blend of information that brings plant science, geography, nature, and human history together for an unparalleled view of plant life on Earth
• The intricate and sometimes bizarre ways that plants have adapted to live everywhere
• A detailed understanding of where plants come from and the conditions they prefer to grow in
Produced in association with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh this beautiful book combines the best elements of gardening books, science books, and nature books – featuring botanical illustrations, detailed photography, and clear, concise explanations – to tell the story of how plants evolved and survived – and continue to thrive.
The Dogs Gaze
What do dogs do in art? A dazzlingly original cultural history from the Cundill Prize-winning historian
Long before the phrase 'man's best friend' became common parlance, dogs were already standing beside us in art as in life. In The Dog's Gaze, the historian Thomas W. Laqueur invites us to explore why they feature more than any other animal in the ways in which we picture ourselves and our stories.
Dogs have been ubiquitous in the worldmaking of visual artists as far back as the Palaeolithic age. Looking across the western tradition, from Giotto to Goya and Rubens to Rego, Laqueur shows what their presence - as hunting partners, beloved friends and even conduits to the afterlife - reveals about our own ways of seeing and how we want to be remembered. Far from being mere motifs, dogs are an integral and intentional element of the images in which they appear: they provide narrative coherence; they look out and bear witness, often on the artist's behalf; they illuminate our understanding of morality and melancholy and some, like us, become celebrities. Indeed, as the author shows, dogs in art are our social doppelgängers, our companions in looking and being.
Richly illustrated and lovingly written, The Dog's Gaze is a unique visual history that examines the shared social history of our two species and offers fresh insights into the human condition through the eyes of our canine companions.
Clara & the Devil: Collection One
He’s tall, dark and infernal. She’s ready to be corrupted . . .
A deliciously dark tale of Faustian bargains and seduction, Clara & the Devil is a graphic novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Masters of Death, Olivie Blake and fan-favourite artist Little Chmura.
Clara thought she had the rest of her life figured out. But when an unusual tourist – tall, dark, and satanic – comes to town, Clara’s careful plans start to unravel fast. She thought she’d graduate college with the support of her best friend, Jonah. Then she’d marry her adoring boyfriend, work at her local library and settle down in her small seaside hometown. But now things seem far from simple.
And even while the stranger, who openly calls himself the devil, strikes up a situationship with Jonah, he continues to tempt Clara with reckless talk of power, ambition, and lust. Over the course of one sultry summer, tensions between Clara, Jonah and the devil mount to an intolerable degree. Clara is forced to confront the desires she’s kept secret her whole life, even from herself.
This mesmerizing, darkly romantic graphic novel kicks off a sultry series that explores artistry and power through the temptation of the seven deadly sins.
