O emocjach mówi się dużo i często. Choć są czymś naturalnym, bardzo potrzebnym i wszyscy ich doświadczamy, to większość z nas ma problem z właściwym rozpoznawaniem i regulowaniem własnych emocji. Czują się przytłoczeni nadmiarem często sprzecznych uczuć, nieumiejętnością ich kontrolowania. Inni wręcz deklarują, że nie czują nic. Może przyszedł czas na to, żeby stawić czoła swoim emocjom, postarać się je zrozumieć i oswoić? Nauczyć się je wyrażać. Rozplątać to, co kiedyś zostało poplątane. Nie odkładaj tego na później! W książce znajdziesz m.in. odpowiedzi na to: Jak przetrwać emocjonalne tsunami? Skąd bierze się emocjonalny chaos i co można z nim zrobić? Jak proces wychowawczy wpływa na nasze przyszłe emocje? Czym są toksyczne relacje? Jak się z nich wyzwolić? Jak rozmawiać z kimś kogo ponoszą emocje? Czym jest bezsilność? I jak sobie z nią radzić? Czy kryzys emocjonalny może być szansą na coś twórczego? Jak poradzić sobie z lękiem? Jakie są funkcje złości i sposoby jej wyrażania? Szkodzi? A może pomaga? W poradniku znajduje się wiele praktycznych wskazówek oraz ćwiczeń, które pozwalają zapoznać się z tematami poprzez doświadczanie, i pomogą w regulowaniu swoich emocji.

Czy wiesz, że w swojej głowie masz urządzenie, które w każdej sekundzie może wykonywać do 38 milionów operacji i że właśnie dzięki niemu podejmujesz nawet 35 tysięcy decyzji dziennie? Zdajesz sobie sprawę, że i po pięćdziesiątce możesz nauczyć się japońskiego, jeśli tylko przyjdzie ci ochota? Masz świadomość, że kiedy czegoś doświadczasz, tak naprawdę to przewidujesz, bo twój mózg w prognozowaniu zdarzeń jest lepszy niż pogodynka? Te i wiele innych informacji znajdziesz w wyjątkowej książce, która stała się bestsellerem we Włoszech, a prawa do jej zakupu zapewniły sobie liczne kraje na całym świecie. Oto pierwsza przyjazna instrukcja stworzona specjalnie dla użytkownika maszyny zainstalowanej w ludzkiej głowie. Czas więc przejąć stery nad urządzeniem o potężnej mocy, które dotychczas eksploatowałeś na czuja. Czytając tę pełną informacji, a przy tym niezwykle dowcipną książkę o mózgu, poznasz: specyfikację techniczną systemu i jego sposób działania, a także częste problemy związane z użytkowaniem (synestezja, fałszywe wspomnienia, uzależnienia), wreszcie zyskasz też wiedzę na temat awarii, którym podlega czasem maszyna (autyzm, depresja, schizofrenia, neurodegeneracja). Dowiesz się również, na czym polega różnica między modelami K i M, jakie zasilanie najlepiej stosować i jakie rozszerzenia (neurotechnologie, sztuczna inteligencja) pozostają wciąż do wyboru.

NIE KAŻDY MA ODWAGĘ WYRUSZYĆ W TAK PODRÓŻ Andrzej, były korespondent wojenny, zawsze marzył o tym, żeby pokazać żonie Afganistan, kraj groźny i piękny, niepodobny do żadnego innego. Ela, szamańska dusza, miłośniczka gongów i leczniczych ziół, nie była pewna, czy jest gotowa na tak niebezpieczną podróż. Pewnego dnia pakują się do starego mercedesa MB 100 i ruszają dawnym jedwabnym szlakiem, który w latach 70. przemierzały kolorowe autobusy pełne dzieci kwiatów głodnych przygód, narkotyków i wolnej miłości. Autorzy chcą zobaczyć nigdy niezdobytą przez obce wojska dolinę Pandższiru i Bamian, buddyjskie sanktuarium zniszczone przez islamskich radykałów. Odnaleźć dawnych przyjaciół, których Andrzej poznał podczas reporterskich wypraw do strefy wojny. Ale najpierw będą musieli pokonać przyprawiające o zawroty głowy serpentyny w górach Armenii i przeprawić się przez granice, na których każdy obcy witany jest z podejrzliwością. Kto ich ugości, a kto będzie chciał oszukać? Czy stary szaman pomoże Eli pozbyć się lęku wysokości? Co zrobią, gdy na górskiej drodze hamulce w kamperze odmówią posłuszeństwa? A przede wszystkim: czy zdążą dotrzeć do Kabulu, zanim zajmą go talibowie? Opinie o książce Andrzeja i Eleonory Mellerów "Kamperem do Kabulu. Hippisowskim szlakiem przez Turcję, Gruzję, Armenię, Iran i Afganistan": Świetna książka! Nie pamiętam, żebym czytał coś tak dobrego, odważnego i zabawnego. Reportaż Eli i Andrzeja to ekscytująca, a jednocześnie wzruszająca opowieść o podróży pełnej przygód oraz niezwykłych spotkań z ludźmi, historią i kulturą Azji - tej znanej i tej jeszcze nie do końca odkrytej. Vincent V. Severski Andrzej Meller zaczął jeździć na Wschód jako nastolatek. Gdy trzy dekady później wraca na hippisowski szlak z żoną Eleonorą, wciąż nie przypomina statecznego pana w średnim wieku. Ich paromiesięczna rajza przez Turcję, Kaukaz i Iran to radość życia, junacka fantazja i sztubackie wygłupy na postojach. Poważniej robi się w Afganistanie (przygodny znajomy mówi Mellerom, że jeden przeżyty tam miesiąc liczy się za sześć lat studiów). A epilog to już jazda bez trzymanki. Jak pisał Tolkien, nikt prawie nie wie, dokąd go zaprowadzi droga, póki nie stanie u celu. Wojciech Górecki Ilu Polaków pojechało do Afganistanu, by naprawdę poznać ten kraj i o nim napisać? Zapewne niewielu. Dlatego książka Eleonory i Andrzeja Mellerów jest tak wyjątkowa - opowiadają oni o mojej ojczyźnie nie z perspektywy podróżników, a ludzi, którzy żyją w Afganistanie na co dzień. Pokazują go takim, jaki jest: pełnym zaskoczeń zarówno dla samych autorów, jak i dla czytelników. Tahir Qadiry, ambasador Afganistanu w Polsce Ta książka to podróż do świata, którego już nie ma ale który być może się odrodzi. Nic przecież nie trwa wiecznie, nieuznawana przez żadne państwo władza talibów też się kiedyś skończy. Życie dopisało niezwykły epilog do i tak niezwykłej książki Andrzeja i Eleonory Mellerów - 15 sierpnia 2021 roku, już po ich powrocie do Polski, upadł Kabul i konieczna była ewakuacja Afgańczyków, którzy współpracowali z polskimi instytucjami wojskowymi i cywilnymi. Zapraszam do tej fascynującej lektury! dr hab. Adam Burakowski, ambasador RP w Nowym Delhi z akredytacją w Afganistanie

Kości są ostatnimi strażnikami naszego ziemskiego życia, dającymi świadectwo, jak je przeżyliśmy. Sue Black, autorka bestselleru Co mówią zwłoki, powraca z kolejną wyjątkową książką! Tym razem ta światowej sławy antropolożka sądowa wyciągnie na wierzch sekrety głęboko skrywane w naszych kościach, od czaszki aż po stopy. Badając kręgosłup, klatkę piersiową, ramiona i dłonie, można się bowiem dowiedzieć zaskakujących rzeczy, choćby tego, że ofiara zginęła w całkiem innych okolicznościach, niż się wszystkim wydaje To, co jemy, co robimy, dokąd się przemieszczamy, zostawia ślady, a Sue Black, dzięki niesłychanej wiedzy i doświadczeniu, potrafi krok po kroku, kostka po kostce odczytywać poszlaki niewidoczne dla innych. Wszystko po to, by odtworzyć znaczące fakty z życia tych, którzy sami nie mogą o nich opowiedzieć. Z niezwykłą wrażliwością, profesjonalizmem i dowcipem, znanymi już z Co mówią zwłoki, Black pokazuje nam nieśmiertelność ludzkich tajemnic i przeprowadza przez najciekawsze zakamarki pracy antropologa!

Bogaty dorobek Teresy Gierzyńskiej (ur. 1947), rzeźbiarki, fotografki, graficzki, wciąż pozostaje nieznany szerszej publiczności. Duża, monograficzna wystawa w Zachęcie wraz z towarzyszącą jej obszerną publikacją daje po raz pierwszy pełen wgląd w tę oryginalną twórczość, sytuującą się na styku różnych dyscyplin i mediów. Tytuł wystawy został zaczerpnięty z książki Lauren Berlant Female Complaint. The Unfinished Business of Sentimentality in American Culture (2008). Jest doskonałym komentarzem do sztuki, która wyrosła ze sprzeciwu wobec zapośredniczonych przez kulturę masową wizerunków kobiecości oraz stereotypów na temat społecznej roli kobiety i jej idealnego życia. Artystka eksploruje obrzeża fotografii, wykorzystuje ją jako zapis swojej praktyki performatywnej, eksperymentuje z metodami jej powielania i przetwarzania. Wprowadza w obszar sztuki wizualne elementy zaczerpnięte z kultury masowej, a także właściwe jej techniki. Oś wystawy stanowią najważniejsze cykle: O niej oraz Istota rzeczy. Na pierwszy składają się tworzone na przestrzeni kilkudziesięciu lat fotograficzne autoportrety, w późniejszym okresie także portrety dorastającej córki. Drugi to zbiór recyklingowych kolaży wykorzystujących wizerunki kobiet z kolorowej prasy, w których artystka konfrontuje się z męskim spojrzeniem oraz ikonografią (artystyczną i popularną) przedstawień kobiety jako obiektu pożądania. Prace te są przykładem wypracowanego przez Gierzyńską subtelnego i intymnego feministycznego języka, który służy badaniu i odkrywaniu kobiecej tożsamości, mówieniu o własnej cielesności i seksualności.

From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen. For Stanley and foodie fans, this is the perfect, irresistible gift. 'It's impossible to read this without becoming ravenous!' -- Nigella Lawson 'It is as infectious as it is delicious, as funny as it is insightful. The only reason to put this book down, is to go cook and eat from it' -- Heston Blumenthal From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen. Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them. Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

'A splendid series . . . with a backdrop of the city so vivid you can almost smell it.' The Sunday Telegraph Winner of the Suntory Mystery Fiction Grand Prize The twisted maze of Venice's canals has always been shrouded in mystery. Even the celebrated opera house, La Fenice, has seen its share of death ... but none so horrific and violent as that of world-famous conductor, Maestro Helmut Wellauer, who was poisoned during a performance of La Traviata. Even Commissario of Police, Guido Brunetti, used to the labyrinthine corruptions of the city, is shocked at the number of enemies Wellauer has made on his way to the top - but just how many have motive enough for murder? The beauty of Venice is crumbling. But evil is one thing that will never erode with age. 'What a ripping first mystery, as beguiling and secretly sinister as Venice herself. Sparkling and irresistible.' Rita Mae Brown 'Donna Leon has given fans of subtle, clever and literate mysteries something to cheer about. . . . A wonderful read.' Tony Hillerman

Wojska terytorialne to nie pomysł XXI wieku, a praktyka codzienna w dawnej Rzeczypospolitej. To na barkach tych formacji tworzonych dla obrony swoich małych ojczyzn leżał obowiązek zarówno walki o bezpieczeństwo państwa jak też obszaru na jakim były te oddziały formowane. Analiza przypadku odnosi się do okresu panowania króla Jana II Kazimierza i obszaru Wielkopolski, ale mechanizmy są tożsame dla całej Rzeczypospolitej.

A rich history of Antwerp from the author of the acclaimed bestseller The Edge of the World Even before Amsterdam there was a dazzling North Sea port at the hub of the known world: the city of Antwerp. Antwerp was sensational like nineteenth-century Paris or twentieth-century New York, somewhere anything could happen or at least be believed: killer bankers, easy kisses, a market in secrets and every kind of heresy. For half the sixteenth century, it was the place for breaking rules - religious, sexual, intellectual. In Antwerp, things changed. One man cornered all the money in the city and reinvented ideas of what money meant. Another gave Antwerp a new shape purely out of his own ambition. Jews fleeing the Portuguese Inquisition needed Antwerp for their escape, thanks to the remarkable woman at the head of the grandest banking family in Europe. Thomas More opened Utopia there, Erasmus puzzled over money and exchanges, William Tyndale sheltered there and smuggled out his Bible in English until he was killed. Pieter Bruegel painted the town as The Tower of Babel. But when Antwerp rebelled with the Dutch against the Spanish and lost, all that glory was buried and its true history rewritten. The city that unsettled so many now became conformist. Mutinous troops burned the city records. Michael Pye sets out to rediscover the city that was lost and bring its wilder days to life using every kind of clue: novels, paintings, songs, schoolbooks, letters and the archives of Venice, London and the Medici. He builds a picture of a city haunted by fire, plague and violence, but learning how to be a power in its own right in the world after feudalism. This is the Antwerp which was the proud 'exception' to all of Europe.

A deliciously dark, atmospheric novel about family and brotherhood from one of America's most distinctive writers There's sibling rivalry and then there's the relationship of brothers Cal and Frank Belanger, which takes fraternal antipathy to a whole new level. Enemies seemingly since childhood, the small town of Littleford, where they are nicknamed 'The Bad Angle Brothers', just isn't big enough to hold them both. So Cal strikes out for the world's wild places -- a gifted geologist in search of gold and other precious minerals, leaving Frank to develop a successful career as the town's lawyer, fixer and local hero. Apart, their differences are muted by distance, but when Cal, newly rich and newly wed, returns to the town of his birth, to buy a house and raise a family, Frank gives him the opposite of a brotherly welcome. From undermining Cal's marriage, while Cal is away on business, to torpedoing his finances, nothing is off the table, setting the scene for a tale of gleefully vicious betrayals and reprisals, culminating in the ultimate plan: murder. Few authors have as keen an eye for human nature as the inimitable Paul Theroux, and this riveting tale of adventure, betrayal, and the true cost of family bonds is a remarkable new work from one of America's most distinctive writers.

We are all dressed. But how often do we pause to think about the place of our clothes in our lives? What unconscious thoughts do we express when we dress every day?

Ranging freely through literature, art, film and philosophy, Dressed tracks the hidden power of clothes in our culture and our daily lives.

Jungle is a new and ambitious history of the world, telling the remarkable story of the world's tropical forests from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical forests in the evolution of the world's atmosphere, the dinosaurs, the first mammals and even our own species and ancestors. Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge research, Dr Roberts shows, for example, that our view of humans as 'savannah specialists' is wildly wrong, and that the 'Anthropocene' began not with the Industrial Revolution, but potentially as early as 6,000 years ago in the tropics. We see that the relationship between humankind and 'jungles' is deep-rooted, that we are all connected to their destruction, and that we must all act to save them. Urgent, clear-sighted and original, Jungle challenges the way we think about the world - and ourselves.

Warm, witty, erudite and profound, this deeply researched book will make you reconsider how you perceive and approach strangers, showing you how talking to strangers isn't just not a way to live, it's a way to survive.

'Janina Ramirez is a born storyteller, and in Femina she is at the peak of her powers. This is bravura narrative history underpinned by passionate advocacy for the women whom medieval history has too often ignored or overlooked. Femina is essential reading' - Dan Jones, bestselling author of The Plantagenets and Powers and Thrones 'I am the fiery life of divine substance, I blaze above the beauty of the fields, I shine in the waters, I burn in sun, moon and stars' - Hildegard of Bingen (1098 - 1179) The middle ages are seen as a bloodthirsty time of Vikings, saints and kings: a patriarchal society which oppressed and excluded women. But when we dig a little deeper into the truth, we can see that the 'dark' ages were anything but. Oxford and BBC historian Janina Ramirez has uncovered countless influential women's names struck out of historical records, with the word FEMINA annotated beside them. As gatekeepers of the past ordered books to be burnt, artworks to be destroyed, and new versions of myths, legends and historical documents to be produced, our view of history has been manipulated. Only now, through a careful examination of the artefacts, writings and possessions they left behind, are the influential and multifaceted lives of women emerging. Femina goes beyond the official records to uncover the true impact of women like Jadwiga, the only female King in Europe, Margery Kempe, who exploited her image and story to ensure her notoriety, and the Loftus Princess, whose existence gives us clues about the beginnings of Christianity in England. See the medieval world with fresh eyes and discover why these remarkable women were removed from our collective memories.

A man known as Big Tony who had ordered the hit on her husband just months earlier...

To write about Hell, it helps if you have been there. In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton's attempt to traverse the Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice. What followed became legend. Throughout the long, dark Antarctic winter, Shackleton fights for his life and the lives of his men - enduring freezing temperatures, a perilous lifeboat journey through the ice-strewn sea, and a punishing march across the South Georgia glaciers to seek the one slim chance they have of rescue. Their situation is disastrous. Their survival would become history's most enthralling adventure. Yet Shackleton's critics have argued that the expedition was always doomed to fail. And that had Endurance not been destroyed by ice, his men would have suffered a slow and horrible death before completing their journey. No previous biographer has experienced even a tiny taste of the polar hell on earth endured by Shackleton and his men. That cannot be said of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who has been described as 'our greatest living explorer'. From Shackleton's pursuit of adventure as a young merchant seaman, through his rivalry with Captain Scott, culminating in the two remarkable expeditions to Antarctica that revealed his unrivalled leadership and personal courage under the most extreme of circumstances, Fiennes brings the story vividly and viscerally to life, his own near-death on the ice, fifty years after his subject's death, providing the necessary proof to silence Shackleton's critics once and for all.

In these newly collected essays, interviews and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world. Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles, from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyses today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine. Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that 'Freedom is a constant struggle.'

'Thrilling' BILL BRYSON 'Brilliant' TIM SPECTOR 'Extraordinary' ALICE ROBERTS Welcome to a revolution in the science of you - this is the landmark new book from award-winning scientist Daniel M. Davis.

It is at once a gripping drama of scientific ingenuity, discovery and collaboration, and a vision of the human body of dizzying complexity and wonder. 'The startling new discoveries...are radically altering our understanding of how we function and what our future holds' BRIAN COX 'A big-picture forecast of how medicine stands on the threshold of a revolution that will radically change all of our lives' The Times

For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself. Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 per cent of their past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture and cities did not mean a plunge into hierarchy, then what kinds of organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume. The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision and faith in the power of direct action.

It is the early 1930s, and Europe is holding its breath. As Hitler's grip on power tightens, preparations are being made for the Berlin Olympics. Leni Riefenstahl is the pioneering, sexually-liberated star film-maker of the Third Reich. She has been chosen by Hitler to capture the Olympics on celluloid but is about to find that even his closest friends have much to fear. Kim Newlands is the English athlete 'sponsored' by the Blackshirts and devoted to his mercurial, socialite girlfriend Connie. He is driven by a desire to win an Olympic gold but to do that he must first pretend to be someone he is not. Alun Pryce is the Welsh communist sent to infiltrate the Blackshirts. When he befriends Kim and Connie, his belief that the end justifies the means will be tested to the core. Through her camera lens and memoirs, Leni is able to manipulate the truth about what happens when their fates collide at the Olympics. But while some scenes from her life end up on the cutting room floor, this does not mean they are lost forever? 'Profound and moving? a beautifully written evocation of turbulent times' Daily Express 'A novel rich in historical detail, but wearing its research lightly, and the story is told in a French Lieutenant's Woman kind of way, veering from the present to the past with superb flair? this novel has an uncomfortable prescience, with a plot twist at the end which is ingenious. - IRISH INDEPENDENT 'A masterly exploration of conflicting loyalties ? Sharply characterised, richly atmospheric and completely engrossing' John Preston, author of The Dig

With astonishing clarity, Booker Prize winner Galgut explores both the intimacies and violence of family life against the complex landscape of 1980s South Africa.

A gripping and explosive account of Vladimir Putin's tyranny, charting his rise from spy to tsar, exposing the events that led to his invasion of Ukraine and his assault on Europe. In Killer in the Kremlin, award-winning journalist John Sweeney takes readers from the heart of Putin's Russia to the killing fields of Chechnya, to the embattled cities of an invaded Ukraine. In a disturbing exposé of Putin's sinister ambition, Sweeney draws on thirty years of his own reporting - from the Moscow apartment bombings to the atrocities committed by the Russian Army in Chechnya, to the annexation of Crimea and a confrontation with Putin over the shooting down of flight MH17 - to understand the true extent of Putin's long war. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and compelling testimony from those who have suffered at Putin's hand, we see the heroism of the Russian opposition, the bravery of the Ukrainian resistance, and the brutality with which the Kremlin responds to such acts of defiance, assassinating or locking away its critics, and stopping at nothing to achieve its imperialist aims. In the midst of one of the darkest acts of aggression in modern history - Russia's invasion of Ukraine - this book shines a light on Putin's rule and poses urgent questions about how the world must respond.

In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. Stood in the coast's wind and cold, the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple's cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide, of a lovers' suicide. But in the eyes of two men, Torigai Jutaro, a senior detective, and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right. Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime... Now widely available in English for the first time, Tokyo Express is celebrated around the world as Seicho Matsumoto's masterpiece - and as one of the most fiendish puzzles ever written.

'I'm a fairly calm fellow; I don't usually get het up about things. But I was, let's say, concerned when I tuned into the Moscow Echo radio station and heard that the Kremlin had put a price on my head. The announcement didn't quite say 'dead or alive'. But it came close...' Mikhail Khodorkovsky, March 2021 Mikhail Khodorkovsky has seen behind the mask of Vladimir Putin. Once an oil tycoon and the richest man in Russia, Khodorkovsky spoke out against the corruption of Putin's regime - and was punished by the Kremlin, stripped of his entire wealth and jailed for over ten years. Now freed, working as a pro-democracy campaigner in enforced exile, Khodorkovsky brings us the insider's battle to save his country's soul. Offering an urgent analysis of what has gone wrong with Putin, The Russia Conundrum maps the country's rise and fall against Khodorkovsky's own journey, from Soviet youth to international oil executive, powerful insider to political dissident, and now a high-profile voice seeking to reconcile East and West. With unparalleled insight, written with Sunday Times bestselling author Martin Sixsmith, The Russia Conundrum exposes the desires and damning truths of Putin's Russia, and provides an answer to the West on how it must challenge the Kremlin - in order to pave the way for a better future.

Henry Kissinger analyses how six extraordinary leaders he has known have shaped their countries and the world 'Leaders,' writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, 'think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.' In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls 'the strategy of humility'. Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by 'the strategy of will'. During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by 'the strategy of equilibrium'. After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a 'strategy of transcendence'. Against the odds, Lee Kwan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by 'the strategy of excellence'. Although when she came to power Britain was known as 'the sick man of Europe', Margaret Thatcher renewed her country's morale and international position by 'the strategy of conviction'. To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and - because he knew each of their subjects, and participated in many of the events he describes - personal knowledge. The book is enriched by insights and judgements such as only he could make, and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.

Ranging all the way from Aaron's Rod to Zuleika Dobson, via The Devil Rides Out and Middlemarch, literary connoisseur and sleuth John Sutherland offers his very personal guide to the most rewarding, most remarkable and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written. He brilliantly captures the flavour of each work and assesses its relative merits and demerits. He shows how it fits into a broader context and he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid ?20 for Black Beauty? It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so wittily informative, bite-sized pieces. Encyclopaedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate.

This completely updated edition offers a wealth of new insights for fans and newcomers alike - about COVID-19, diet, personal finance, retirement savings, medical care, organ donation, and climate change. Every day we make decisions: about the things we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make and the time we spend; about our health and that of the planet. Unfortunately, we often choose badly. We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions that make us poorer, less healthy and less happy. And, as Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein show, no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way. But by knowing how people think, we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for themselves, for their families and for society. With brilliant insight and wonderful levity, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how best to nudge us in the right directions, without ever restricting our freedom of choice.

Knowledge is power. Which is why the rich and powerful don't want you to have it. The Playbook is an exposé of the extraordinary lengths that corporations will go to in order to deny the scientific facts - whether on climate change, public health risks, worker safety, or anything else - when they don't suit their agenda. Written in the form of a corporate handbook for tobacco, oil and pharmaceutical company executives, it outlines obfuscation techniques, denial, delays and outright lies, including: how to recruit an academic 'expert' who is willing to compromise their integrity (or is wants to raise some cash), how to massage the statistics, how to use legal and even physical intimidation against reporters and activists, and how, just as in a casino, to keep the customers comfortable, unquestioning, unthinking and playing along for as long as possible. Part satire, part social history, part guide to resistance, The Playbook is a charge sheet against the powerful. It shows us how, by understanding the methods and motives of disinformation, it may be possible to outwit them.

Lucy reluctantly agrees, leaving the washing-up in the sink, expecting to be back in a week or two.

Rich with empathy and a searing clarity, Lucy by the Sea evokes the fragility and uncertainty of the recent past, as well as the possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire.

Trauma, porn, masturbation, sexuality, sex after motherhood, sex when you feel sh*t about your body, sex after separation... these are all topics around which we skirt delicately, as if they're bombs which will explode if we prod them too curiously. In this way, sex is intimately connected with shame. Like most of us, shame has followed me around for most of my life. I felt shame for the colour of my skin, shame for being female, and shame for wanting more, but I also felt shame around the subject of masturbation. Even as an adult, I carried an intense feeling that masturbation was somehow dirty. I look back on this now and realise how warped our approach to sex is and how the shame that surrounds these conversations holds women back. In this honest and revealing memoir, Natalie Lee digs deep into her own relationship with sex to expose the shame that many of us feel. Taking us through her journey, from traumatic beginnings to marriage, motherhood and eventually experiencing sexual freedom after divorce in her thirties, Feeling Myself is a story of learning to be your true self in a society that doesn't prioritise your pleasure. It is a book for every woman to feel empowered by and to learn the tools to experience their own emancipation too.

The final destruction of the Ottoman Empire - one of the great epics of the First World War, from bestselling historian Eugene Rogan For some four centuries the Ottoman Empire had been one of the most powerful states in Europe as well as ruler of the Middle East. By 1914 it had been drastically weakened and circled by numerous predators waiting to finish it off. Following the Ottoman decision to join the First World War on the side of the Central Powers the British, French and Russians hatched a plan to finish the Ottomans off: an ambitious and unprecedented invasion of Gallipoli... Eugene Rogan's remarkable book recreates one of the most important but poorly understood fronts of the First World War. Despite fighting back with great skill and ferocity against the Allied onslaught and humiliating the British both at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia (Iraq), the Ottomans were ultimately defeated, clearing the way for the making, for better or worse, of a new Middle East which has endured to the present.

Dire Straits filled giant stadiums around the world and sold hundreds of millions of records. Throughout the eighties, they were one of the biggest bands on the planet. Their classic songs - 'Sultans of Swing', 'Money for Nothing', 'Brothers In Arms' - formed the soundtrack of a generation and live on today. In his memoir, John Illsley - founding member and bassist - evokes the spirit of the times and tells the story of one of the great live acts of rock history. Starting with his own unlikely beginnings, he recounts the band's rise from humble origins in London's spit-and-sawdust pubs to the best-known venues in the world, the working man's clubs to Madison Square Garden and the Live Aid stage at Wembley. Until, ultimately, the demands of touring and living in the spotlight took their inevitable toll. John's story is also a tribute to his great friend Mark Knopfler, the band's lead singer, songwriter and gifted guitarist - the only band members to stay the fifteen-year distance. Told with honesty, soulful reflection and wry humour, this is the first and only account of that incredible story.

Born in war-torn Afghanistan, Waheed Arian's earliest memories are of bombs. Fleeing the conflict with his family, he spent much of his childhood in refugee camps in Pakistan, living sometimes ten to a room without basic sanitation or access to education. After he contracted tuberculosis, his first-hand experience of the power of medicine inspired Waheed to dedicate his life to healing others. But how does a boy with nothing hope to become a doctor? Waheed largely taught himself, from textbooks bought from street-sellers, and learned English from the BBC World Service. Smuggled to the UK at fifteen with just $100 in his pocket, he was advised to set his sights on becoming a taxi driver. But he had bigger ambitions. He studied all hours and was accepted to read medicine at Cambridge University, and went on to become a doctor in the NHS. In 2015 he founded Arian Teleheal, a pioneering global charity that connects doctors in war zones and low-resource countries with their counterparts in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. Together, learning from each other, they save and change lives - the lives of millions of people just like Waheed. Dr Arian has been working A&E on the Covid frontline for over a year.
