*A Guardian, Financial Times, New Statesman and GQ Book for 2025 *''Brilliant, timely and compulsively readable'' Oliver BurkemanThe tortured poet. The rebellious scientist. The monstrous artist. The tech disruptor.You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate.Taking us from the Renaissance Florence of Leonardo da Vinci to the Floridian rocket launches of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Helen Lewis unravels a word that we all use — without really questioning what it means.Along the way, she uncovers the secret of the Beatles’ success, asks how biographers should solve the Austen Problem, and reveals why Stephen Hawking thought IQ tests were for losers (before taking one herself). And she asks if the modern idea of genius — a class of special people — is distorting our view of the world.

''Outstanding'' JOHN PRESTON | ''Extraordinary'' THE TIMES | ''Superb'' ANDREW ROBERTS | ''Vivid and compelling'' IRISH TIMES | ''Psychologically shrewd'' IRISH INDEPENDENT | ''A page-turning finale'' HISTORY TODAYCelebrated reformer and proud nationalist, romantic radical and vilified traitor: this is the story of Roger Casement, one of the 20th century’s most complex and compelling individuals.It was a life caught between fault lines.

A non-stop flight across the Atlantic might seem routine today. But it is only possible because of those who went first.''Capturing not only the perils faced by the intrepid airmen who attempted the flight, but also their humanity'' JOHN LANCASTER, author of The Great Air RaceNewfoundland, 1919. Buffeted by winds, an unwieldy aircraft struggled to take to the air. Cramped side by side in its open cockpit were two men, freezing cold, but resolute. They had a dream: to be the first in human history to fly, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. But there were three other teams competing against them . . .The young aviators who would get off the ground had already defied death many times during World War One. David Rooney’s evocative and deeply researched account shows how it was their thrilling wartime experiences that ultimately led them to the ‘Big Hop’, and brought old friends together for one more daring adventure.These Atlantic pioneers weren’t scientists or upper-class officers. They were ordinary men, risking their lives in the name of progress, who ultimately ushered in the age of global connection in which we live now.''Fabulous ... Works on every level, balancing technological know-how with superb characterisation’ JACKY HYAMS, author of Hurricane: The Plane that Won the War

Traversing the globe, Old World is a generous, playful collection about the issues facing our planet today, from a major Scots poet and biographer of T.S. Eliot''For intellectual range, emotional depth, and lexical shimmer, Crawford is unsurpassed'' Sunday HeraldMixing lyricism, play, and vulnerability, Old World explores the issues facing our planet in the twenty-first century, from European war to climate change and AI. From riddles and haikus to verse influenced by both Western and Eastern cultures, Crawford arrives at a sense of sacredness of life on earth.These poems speak both of the menaced plenitude of living beings, and of frailties associated with growing old. Part of the book is given over to voices of creatures from the non-human world, part to human voices, but boundaries between these categories become mischievously and disconcertingly unstable.‘A poet of great importance… fluent, inventive, funny, crackling with intellectual energy, and at the very heart of our own time’ Scotsman''In his hands, all modern life can be poetry’ Herald

At the same time, it tells a story – as sonnets have often done – about love, through Boix’s intimate and original evocation of gay marriage.
