At that very moment, Australia's role as an external coloniser also came to an end.

Australia's empire was not only a matter of territory. In Empire's End, historian Jon Piccini shows it was also a way of thinking, of a world view shaped by culture, race and the country's privileged past amid a sea of European empires in Asia and the Pacific - and their subsequent retreat. Moving between Johannesburg, Nairobi, Port Moresby, Saigon, Palm Island, Suva, Alice Springs and Dili, Piccini traces the many paths that brought Australia's empire into crisis and would redefine Australia's place in the world.

Spanning the 1940s to the end of the twentieth century, Empire's End looks to the many settler, colonised and postcolonial journalists, politicians, bureaucrats, archivists, academics and activists who saw in the end of empire something vital to shaping Australia's future.

Empire did not just disappear, but shifted from an administrative question to a political reckoning as Australians faced new responsibilities in a postcolonial world that saw the formal end of the White Australia Policy, the emergence of multiculturalism and partial recognition of First Nations rights.

Written from the periphery about the tumult of decolonisation, Empire's End reveals a country grappling with sovereignty and responsibility. Why has the 'colonial question' proved such a persistent one for Australians in the postwar era, and how have present-day agendas and alliances formed in a world where power is reordered?

Based at Australian Catholic University, he has published Transnational Protest, Australia and the 1960s: Global Radicals (Palgrave, 2016) and Human Rights in Twentieth Century Australia (Cambridge University Press, 2019).

Robert Menzies was famously 'British to the bootstraps', yet his prime ministership saw the sun gradually set on the centrality of the British Commonwealth to Australian national life. From the failures of the Singapore Strategy and Sterling Crisis to Britain's withdrawal East of Suez and turn towards Europe, the defence and economic ties that bound Australia to the Mother Country were severed over the decades of the mid-twentieth century. Paradoxically, a new multi-racial and Crown-less Commonwealth became the main conduit through which Australia first learned to cope with an epoch of decolonisation and anti-discrimination.

The first in a three-volume series on the global forces that shaped the nation, this collection of essays examines what Australia's 'Britishness' actually meant, exploring how it shaped its political, legal and sporting cultures, economy, military and identity and pondering whether Australia made a conscious decision to seize its independence, or had a comforting sense of dependence forcibly taken away.

Contributors to this volume include Daniel Brettig, Paul Brown, Selwyn Cornish, Michael de Percy Martin Farr, David Furse-Roberts, Stewart Gill, John Hawkins, Andrew Kemp, Kit Kowol, Peter Kurti, David Lee, Mark Lunney, Alex McDermott, Lucas McLennan, Greg Melleuish, Teesta Prakash, Wayne Reynolds, Charles Richardson, Lee Rippon, Tim Rowse, Eliezer Rubenstein Sturgess, Sue Thompson and Josh Woodward.

This biography of Mexico's award-winning archaeologist, Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, is based on a series of interviews conducted by Davíd Carrasco and Leonardo López Luján, respected Mesoamericanists in their own right. Born in 1940 Mexico City, Matos Moctezuma's father was a diplomat from the Dominican Republic and his mother was a Mexican national. Thanks to his father's career, Eduardo was exposed to other cultures throughout Latin America and he learned to appreciate all that each had to offer.

Carrasco and López Luján demonstrate Eduardo's determination to recover Mexico's cultural past. In addition to secondary archaeological projects, he recently supervised the Teotihuacan Project, where he conducted important excavations at the Pyramid of the Sun, and he is currently general coordinator of the Templo Mayor Project. He served as director of the Templo Mayor Museum (1987-2001) and the National Museum of Anthropology (1985-1987).

Matos Moctezuma has received many awards during his career, including the first H. B. Nicholson Award for Excellence in Mesoamerican Studies from the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University.]]> 13 02 Davíd Carrasco is Neil L.

Robinson eloquently argues that the principles of Romanticism are alive and well in the twenty-first century.

Romantics scholar Jeffrey C. Robinson elaborates commentaries on one hundred “manifesto statements” taken from nineteenth-century texts to illustrate that radical principles of poetry emerge in and are central to Romanticism. When these principles have been addressed at all, literary history tends to disperse and disempower them; Romantic Manifestos Manifest brings them together in order to characterize Romanticism, at its core, as a radical poetic movement that “manifests” not only in the nineteenth century but in the centuries beyond. Throughout the text, which is ordered on alphabetical entries of the manifesto statements, Robinson persuasively argues that there is a vibrant continuity between the works and ideas of the Romantics and twenty-first-century experimental artists, writers, and thinkers. Twenty pieces of text art and visual poetry relating to specific manifesto statements further curate a dialogue between text, image, and idea. Robinson takes readers on a journey that shows how avant-garde poets in particular continue to engage with principles from the Romantic era and ultimately proves that Romanticism—far from being a thing of the past—is alive and well in our time.]]> 13 02 Jeffrey C.

Although tropical forests cover less than 10 percent of Earth’s land surface, they are home to about two-thirds of the planet’s terrestrial biodiversity. Unfortunately, a ballooning human population has severely damaged half of the planet’s pristine ecosystems and the biodiversity they contained, leading to an unfolding sixth mass extinction.

In Joseph Conrad’s famous 1899 novella Heart of Darkness, he described the Congo River as “a great snake.” More than a century later, herpetologist, evolutionary biologist, and seasoned expedition leader Eli Greenbaum set out to find the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (Congo for short) incredible diversity of serpents in the flesh, along with the country’s rarest frogs, lizards, crocodiles, and turtles, which live in and along Africa’s second-largest river. For a biologist, an expedition into the heart of the Congo is a priceless gift, with its incredible species, known and unknown, lurking around every bend in the river. But the Congo is also a place of endemic political instability, widespread corruption, human suffering, and extraordinary danger. These, as much as the challenges of the natural world, confront any scientist doing field work in the Congo.

Venomous River is the harrowing story of a biodiversity scientist’s successful quest to discover several new amphibian and reptile species in the remotest heart of Africa, a wilderness where he encounters friendly peoples, a cook who is revealed to be a dangerous killer, highly venomous snakes and scorpions, deadly tropical diseases, and troubling echoes of the Congo’s colonial history.]]> 13 02 Eli Greenbaum is a professor of biological sciences and the director of Biodiversity Collections at the University of Texas at El Paso. He is a world expert on the amphibian and reptilian fauna in Central Africa and has published over 125 studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals and books. His work has been covered by CNN, Newsweek, The Washington Post, NBC News, National Geographic Daily News, Africa Geographic Magazine, Reptiles Magazine, and The Huffington Post. He is the author of Emerald Labyrinth: A Scientist’s Adventures in the Jungles of the Congo, a Forbes magazine “Top 10 Science Book” of the year.]]> 08 02 Venomous River weaves together thrilling expedition tales with profound insights about conservation, offering a rare glimpse into one of our planet’s most crucial yet imperiled ecosystems. Herpetologist Eli Greenbaum journeys deep into one of Earth’s remotest and most dangerous regions, searching for new species of amphibians and reptiles while confronting deadly snakes, mysterious diseases, and a cook with a dark past. Along the way, he witnesses both the incredible biodiversity of the Congo Basin and the urgent threats it faces from deforestation, poaching, and climate change.”]]> Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body 08 02 N.

Nicolette is the school agony aunt and relationship expert. Her unique skill – deciphering handwriting – allows her to interpret every love letter, and she has saved many a friend from disastrous romantic entanglements. It doesn’t matter that she’s never been in love – you can tell a lot from the way someone writes their 7s and usually it’s a red flag.

But when she meets Frank, she can’t work him out him at all. He’s shambolically dressed, half French – and leaving for America once he passes his driving test.

When they are both forced to come to the aid of friend, in Frank’s crumbling family home deep in the snowy English countryside, it’s the perfect opportunity to read him once and for all. But his eccentric sister, glamorous grandmother and a newborn baby are all in tow – and the snow isn’t clearing anytime soon.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER.
SOME FLY TO THEIR DEATHS.

A group of students step off a platform into the path of an oncoming train.

Only Billie survives.

She remembers nothing.
But she knows they weren’t suicidal.

At the secretive Arbor Institute, Billie is diagnosed with ‘flock phenomena’: a terrifying impulse to self-destruct with the group.

If it happens again, she’ll die.

Cut off from the world, watched at every turn, Billie begins to understand the truth:

The Institute isn’t trying to cure her.

It’s trying to contain her.

But Billie isn’t prey.

She’s the threat.

Two and a half years after Rebecca Carter woke on a mortuary slab, riven by desperate hunger, she and her daughter Moonflower are still on the run - keeping to the shadows, feeding when they can, and only on those who deserve it.

Until they are caught.

For ten years, Tom Burden has hunted creatures like the Carters. But now he has been tasked with delivering Rebecca and Moonflower to Solace, a remote town hidden in the forests north of Seattle: a commune of people like them, where they can live in peace, safety and plenty.

But Solace is not what it seems.

And when Rebecca uncovers a horrifying secret, she realizes that in their desperate search for somewhere to belong, she and Moonflower may have made their gravest mistake yet.

Because sometimes, when you stop running, that’s when the nightmares catch up.

Blood binds them. Darkness hunts them. And family is the fiercest monster of all.

Concluding the journey begun with Blood Like Mine - one of the New York Times Best Horror Books of 2024 and shortlisted for the 2025 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger - this is perfect for fans of Let the Right One In and Stephen King.

Emma and Miles are out of options. Their son needs life-saving transplant surgery, but in a world of privatised healthcare and impossible costs, they can’t afford it.

Then comes the offer: a shadowy syndicate known only as The Levels promises them the exact amount of money they need. All they must do is complete a series of tasks.

The catch? Each task is a crime. With every level the stakes rise, the payout grows and the line between right and wrong blurs.

But Emma and Miles aren’t the only ones playing this deadly game. As the competition intensifies and they struggle under the weight of their choices, they’re faced with the ultimate question:

How far would you go to save the one you love?

The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways – Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar’s obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the devastating diagnosis their mother has been desperately trying to keep hidden.

Then, on the morning of the eldest daughter’s wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, and the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city – back to safety, survival, and each other.

A family drama perfect for fans of Station Eleven and The Leftovers.

‘Spectacular… Science fiction at its best’ SAARA EL-ARIFI, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Final Strife
‘Fascinating’ GUARDIAN
‘Moving, powerful, and deeply human’ LOCUS MAGAZINE

She has also written two original short films: Murmur (Sky Arts/BFI) and Uncanny Device (Four:8 Productions).]]> 08 02 ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY

‘Part apocalyptic thriller and part family drama, Not with a Bang is a deeply compelling tale set at the end of the world as we know it. Oh explores complex relationships with wit and enormous empathy. Every time I thought I knew a character inside and out, yet another layer was revealed; few books will keep you on your toes the way this one does. Thought-provoking, ambitious, and full of love – despite the horrors’
KEMI ASHING-GIWA, author of The Splinter in the Sky

'A cinematic, thrilling take on the apocalypse and a deeply moving portrait of a family losing and finding each other. Temi Oh writes my favourite kind of science fiction: grounded in the human, reaching for the stars'
CATRIONA SILVEY, author of Meet Me in Another Life

'The best end of the world novel I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot of them'
PETER F. HAMILTON, author of Pandora's Star

'Be warned: once you start reading this, it will take over your life until you've reached the final page. Temi Oh ratchets up the tension in this brilliant apocalyptic novel with exquisite, horrifying realism. A fantastic combination of family dynamics, flawed yet sympathetic characters and cult mentality make this story of an extraordinary disaster utterly compelling'
EMMA NEWMAN, author of Planetfall

‘Not With A Bang is the third book from Temi Oh, who is fast building an estimable reputation in SF circles. Here, she delivers a book that feels like one of John Wyndham’s cosy catastrophes given a contemporary twist for a culturally very different Britain, with a bit of US post-apocalyptic TV series vibe (The Leftovers, Station Eleven) thrown in'
SFX MAGAZINE

'I found myself sucked into this addictive family drama in which the characters feel like real, breathing human beings with their own idiosyncrasies and fatal flaws… The promise of the world’s end is fulfilled in brutal, shocking fashion'
HANA LEE, author of Road to Ruin

'Told in a confident, lyrical voice with a sharp focus on characters and society, this narrative reveals that no matter how alien the circumstances, we will always be human. An out-of-this-world tale grounded in day-to-day realities'
KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)

‘The story could suit a disaster movie (the author also writes screenplays), but it’s the complex characterisations and conflicted relationships that make for a powerfully compelling read. The characters are shown from different perspectives, and are flawed, human and real. Perfectly paced, this is a suspenseful depiction of survival amid civilisational collapse'
GUARDIAN

Fresh from successfully closing their first live case, the Future Policing Unit are called in to investigate when a headless, handless body is found on a Warwickshire farm. But as they work to identify the victim and their killer, the discovery of a second body begins to spark fears that The Aston Strangler is back.

When DCS Kat Frank is accused of putting the wrong man behind bars all those years ago, AIDE Lock – the world's first AI detective – pursues the truth with relentless logic. But Kat is determined to keep the past buried, and when she becomes the target of a shadowy figure looking for revenge, Lock is torn between his evidence-based algorithms and the judgement of his partner, with explosive results.

When everything hangs in the balance, it will all come down to just how much an AI can learn, and what happens when they do…

A POWERFUL ANOMALY. A QUEST FOR REVENGE.

When The Sinker was a child, her home was destroyed by The Construct, a floating machine that consumes all in its path. To survive, she fled into the void, a seemingly infinite nothingness where few dare venture, filled with floating, vertically stacked rocks. Some of these rocks are giant magnets, some burn with eternal flame and some are influenced by the presence of seemingly magical objects – anomalies that defy physical laws.

For half a lifetime, The Sinker has wandered the void on a quest for knowledge, for understanding and for peace. But when rumours reach her that The Construct is near again, she knows fate has come full circle. With the help of Crooked Arm – the heir to a shattered throne, who happens to possess the most powerful anomaly of all – the two of them set out on a mission to end the tyranny of The Construct forever.

From one of the visionary writers of the Netflix series The OA comes a reality unlike anything you have ever encountered before.

Emmy doesn’t believe in miracles. So when a blizzard separates her from her parents in the mountains of Mongolia, she's certain it's all over. Then, out of the shadows of the cave she shelters in, steps a snow leopard cub. An animal that hunters are out to steal. And along comes a boy who believes in impossible things.

Together, they set off on a dangerous journey to find Whisperfell, a magical land where wild animals live in peace. But with hunters closing in, can they get the cub to safety before it's too late?

Perhaps it's time to believe in miracles, after all . . .

This magical animal adventure, gorgeously illustrated throughout by an award-winning artist, gently explores themes of grief, forgiveness and caring for our environment. A beautifully-written love letter to the wild and the power of hope.

Everybody STOPS, everybody stares . . . but Capybara’s bopping like they just don’t care! ?

Capybara loves to dance! He rocks, he rumbas and he even Zumbas. But the other animals at the disco think a dancing capybara is simply ridiculous. And the Lemur, the Llama, the Shrew and the Gnu are much too embarrassed to join in . . . Can Capybara show them just how much FUN it is to dance like nobody’s watching? ?

Perfect for fans of Giraffes Can't Dance, The Gecko and the Echo, The Koala Who Could, Marmalade and Oscar the Hungry Unicorn.

It’s Capybara showtime . . . Put your hands together for fashion fever!

Capybara Colin is backstage, getting ready for the fashion show! He tries on costumes, hats and wigs – and rocks the finest Capybara couture. But it turns out the other animals aren’t feeling quite as runway ready . . . Tiger says he’s too tough for tu-tus, Camel’s got the hump and Monkey’s in a funk. Can Colin give them the confidence they need to stand proud and strut like a disco diva?

Look into the mirror. What do you see?

You’re a bona fide megastar celebrity.

So slip on those shoes and polish that crown.”

The first in a warm, witty and wonderfully twisty new mystery series from much-loved Irish actor, writer and comedian Ardal O’Hanlon - perfect for fans of Graham Norton, Richard Osman and Death in Paradise.

When celebrity gardener Finn O’Leary returns to his hometown of Abbeyford, Ireland, to care for his ageing mother, he is quickly roped into the local Tidy Towns committee. With the competition fiercely fought for by every town and village in the country, Finn’s best friend’s sister, Aoife, is determined that this will finally be Abbeyford’s year.

But Finn has barely unpacked before an alto-baritone drops dead during his mother’s choir practice, midway through a rendition of ‘What the World Needs Now’.

Soon, there is far more at stake than flowerbeds and civic pride. With his mother, her carer, Happiness, and Aoife in tow, Finn sets out to discover who has brought murder to Abbeyford.

And so it begins.

Discover the power of your own voice in a timeless winter's tale of family, hope and understanding, from the critically-acclaimed Sarah Ann Juckes, for fans of R.J. Palacio and Patrick Ness.

‘Tender, emotional and beautifully written, it’s reminiscent of Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls’ Daily Mail

‘A poignant, evocative story’ Guardian

‘A beautiful story that will pull at your heartstrings’ Irish News

Eddie feels invisible - his sister Scarlet isn't well and nobody seems to remember that he's here. Out in the forest, as the ice hardens and winter gets deeper, the world is quiet. When a little red bird takes him to meet Mari, a strange and fierce girl with blurred edges just like him, she shows Eddie how to let out the monster that's been growing inside him. As he gathers the courage to finally be heard, will Eddie be able to find his way back through the snow?

Capturing the rare beauty of winter's silence, Sarah Ann Juckes' powerful exploration of the healing power of nature and the joy of finding hope is a future classic to be savoured every winter, beautifully illustrated by Linde Faas.

A handsome stranger. A house of ghosts and memories.

1967, Nigeria. Celia has been estranged from her family since they banished her to St Agnes’s reform school after her brother’s death. When the school closes down, she has nowhere to go and no one to write for help.

Hoping to leave the demons of her past behind, Celia secures a job as a typist, marking the beginning of a new chapter. When a charismatic and secretive aspiring politician hires her and proposes, she begins to dream of a possible new future. But everything falls apart and Celia, in desperation, returns to her childhood home, the Water House.

There, Celia is confronted by her hostile mother, a past love, and the horrors that the house holds deep in its walls. And as civil war brews in the outside world, Celia begins to suspect that the truth behind her brother’s death might be far more sinister than she imagined.

Told in eerily beautiful prose, in a fresh twist on the Gothic novel, Ike-Njoku weaves a mesmerising story of a woman confronting a home where the past refuses to stay buried.]]> 13 02 The Water House is her first novel.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/777fd15c-c8d9-4812-a2c2-b4bf00235840 01 Scribner UK SIMO445 Scribner UK 01 01 Scribner UK SIMO445 Scribner UK 04 20270216 01 AU NZ 01 8.504 in 01 216 mm 02 5.315 in 02 135 mm 27 15 9781398542082 06 15 9781398542105 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20270216 02 49.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260913 02 59.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260913 Scribner UK AU 01 20270216 9781398543690 02 02 1398543691 03 9781398543690 14 19781398543697 15 9781398543690 11 BC B105 Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>If I Ruled the World</TitleText> <Subtitle>A novel you NEED to read before watching The Devil Wears Prada from a former editor-in-chief!</Subtitle> 01 225353602 1 A01 Amy DuBois Barnett DuBois Barnett, Amy Amy DuBois Barnett Amy DuBois Barnett is an award-winning media executive and author who earned national acclaim as editor-in-chief of Honey, Ebony and Teen People – where she made history as the first Black woman to helm a major mainstream US magazine – and as deputy editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar.

Get ready for a utterly immersive journey through one of the most dynamic eras in pop culture history.

It's 1999, and Nikki Rose is the only Black editor on the staff of a prestigious fashion magazine she once thought would be her ticket to becoming a respected editor-in-chief. But after being told one too many times by her boss that ‘Black girls don’t sell magazines’, she quits to take over Sugar, a struggling hip-hop music and lifestyle magazine with untapped potential.

Thrown into an entirely new world of wealth, decadence and debauchery, Nikki has just six months to save Sugar – and her own dreams. As she pulls all-nighters at the office and parties with New York City’s most influential bad boys, Nikki must prove she has what it takes to lead. But her most dangerous challenge is evading Alonzo Griffin, her married, powerful ex-lover and former boss, who is determined to destroy both her and Sugar.

Along the way, Nikki leans on a circle of loyal friends and navigates unexpected romances that force her to reckon with what – and who – she truly wants.

Written by the ultimate insider, this is a juicy story of ambition, friendship, love and finding your own voice.

One luxury cruise. Two unforgettable weeks. Four Birthday Girls.

When newly widowed Clarice Holmes gathers her family aboard a Mediterranean cruise to celebrate her sixty-fifth birthday, she knows exactly how special it is going to be. But best made plans have a tendency to come unstuck.

Doreen and her husband have taken their dear friend on holiday, but her birthday trip is overshadowed by the ordeal of having to see off a suspected gold-digger.

Astrid never expected to find love again but her late husband promised to send someone to look after her. Not that she believes in that sort of nonsense. Until she meets a fellow cruiser onboard who makes her heart flutter in that old familiar way.

Shannon is trapped in a marriage she no longer recognises. On this holiday she is forced into close quarters with the man she has never stopped loving and is having to live her heartbreak all over again. Plus she is carrying secrets that could blow the whole Holmes family apart.

By the time they return home, life will have changed beyond anything any of them could have imagined.

Peer through the enormous window and you will see twelve marble slabs. On each slab lies a corpse.

For over one hundred years, from 1804, the unidentified dead of Paris, Europe’s hub of art, culture and innovation, were publicly displayed at the world’s first morgue. Wherever they were found, their bodies were brought to the morgue and laid out for exhibition in the hope that one of the many visitors – over one million a year – might identify them.

Structured around twelve overlapping stories, reflecting the twelve slabs in the display room, Morgue unspools a gripping and immersive narrative of a city in turmoil and a society in flux. Across five themed sections – crime, science, society, art and memory – Byers offers a panoramic exploration of topics as diverse as death tourism, the sex trade, queer life, surveillance policing, the birth of forensics, the invention of photography and the rise of gothic literature, told through the long-forgotten deaths – and lives – of ordinary people.

The Paris morgue was so successful that the model was replicated around the world, in cities including New York, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, Bucharest, Berlin, Rome and Lisbon.

Once Ko Mani dreamt of becoming a professional gymnast. Life, however, had other plans for her. Today she has an office job and lives with her parents in the same house and poor part of Seoul in which she grew up.

When she unexpectedly finds herself out of work, however, her old ambitions resurface. At the same time property developers start to show an interest in the local area and her mother sniffs an opportunity for her family to finally slip the chains of poverty.

Exploring the fine line we all tread between dreams and reality, in On the Balance Beam Cho Nam-Joo tells the story of an ordinary Korean family, capturing their moments of pain, frustration, resilience and love.

Kwa tells of first moving from Malaysia to the ‘You-Ess’ as a child, where she desperately tried to fit in; returning to her home town of Kuala Lumpur a year later to find herself an unwelcome foreigner in the place she had thought of as home; of struggling to adjust to the arcane codes of her Ivy League university; and of being baffled by ‘fake’ and ‘real’ American Chinese restaurants – just as her contemporaries were confused by her own identity. Caught between competing ideas of herself, she grapples with what it means to live an ‘authentic’ life.

Through exquisitely observed writing about food - from the curry mee of ‘home’ to the unsettlingly repellent texture of baked apples - as a site where identities are claimed, forged and questioned, The Secret Menu explores the immigrant experience, what it means to belong to and succeed in a second country and how to remain true to whatever one might consider an authentic self. Writing with humour, insight and heart, Kwa explores the unwritten codes we use to identify ourselves and others – from the social castes of university to the ‘secret menus’ of Chinese restaurants – and the confounding nature of the immigrant experience in a memoir that is as profound about the meanings of food as it is about identity]]> 13 02 Mulan: Five Versions of a Classic Chinese Legend (with Wilt Idema); Strange Eventful Histories: Identity, Performance, and Xu Wei’s "Four Cries of a Gibbon"; Regarding Frames: Thinking with Comics in the Twenty-First Century for the Comics Studies; and Perfect Copies: Reproduction and the Contemporary Comic.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/1cbd7397-bc18-438a-a2ba-b4670025af66 01 Summit Books UK SIMN055 Summit Books UK 01 01 Summit Books UK SIMN055 Summit Books UK 04 20270216 01 AU NZ 01 9.213 in 01 234 mm 02 6.024 in 02 153 mm 06 15 9781398552104 27 15 9781398552081 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20270216 02 59.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260913 02 69.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260913 Summit Books UK AU 01 20270216 9781398552456 02 02 1398552453 03 9781398552456 14 19781398552453 15 9781398552456 11 BC B105 Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>RABBITBOX</TitleText> 01 236139513 1 A01 Wayne Holloway-Smith Holloway-Smith, Wayne Wayne Holloway-Smith Wayne Holloway-Smith is the author of two poetry collections, Alarum (2017) and Love Minus Love (2020), which was shortlisted for the T.

A transfixing, heart-rending work which follows a mother and her young son living under the shadow of an all-consuming domestic threat, by T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Wayne Holloway-Smith.

24 Coalbrook Street. The house is trembling with a father's anger. It makes a rabbit of a young boy, sends him burrowing into a wardrobe, and leaves his mother standing hapless and mute over the kitchen sink. In this house, how far can a mother’s comfort travel?

From the safety of his hiding place, from the magnitude of his fear, a young girl appears offering a way out. Taking him by the hand, reaching through time, she leads him elsewhere; a mother’s love dreaming him away from their reality to the promise – beautiful yet flickering – of a river.

Haunting, precise and tender, RABBITBOX heralds a major new work from one of Britain's most exciting writers.

--

‘It takes a rare poet to make such magic of such brutality, but Holloway-Smith is the rarest kind: tender, curious, vivid, and wild. He bunches language like a fist, one that unravels into shadow butterflies, the idea of escape... RABBITBOX is my book of 2026.’ - JOELLE TAYLOR]]> 13 02 Alarum (2017) and Love Minus Love (2020), which was shortlisted for the T. S.

‘Heart-stoppingly good’ Kirkus Reviews starred review

Dava Pennington is unhappy in her marriage, and secretly in love with a female colleague; spurred by their complicated liaison, she spends her nights working on a novel inspired by the affair. But the writing becomes increasingly difficult as her memory begins to fail; tests reveal that she’s suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Alone in their house one night, her husband Barr discovers Dava’s hidden manuscript, which he reads with envy, and then with anger, as he gradually realizes that the novel is autobiographical. Feeling unable to confront her because of her illness, instead he rewrites her novel and publishes it as his own, to wide acclaim. But persistent feelings of guilt lead him in time to confess his theft to an unlikely party, who leads others to the truth…

Luna, Phoenix, Queen brilliantly illuminates the power of storytelling and explores the terror of losing the ability to make sense of our world. It is a cry of rage against vulnerability and helplessness; an acknowledgment of the mysteries beneath the familiar surface of our world; and ultimately, if unexpectedly, a radical testament to love in its many forms.

The lack of attention to the growing masculinity crisis has created a void which is now being dangerously filled by the Manosphere and misogyny. Male suicide rates are sky high; employment rates are low and mental health and relationship issues are impossible to ignore. This is not just a male issue: it is affecting society as a whole.

Scott Galloway has been sounding the alarm on this issue for years. In Notes on Being a Man, Galloway explores what it means to be a man today, and provides a roadmap for healthy masculinity and mental strength. He shares his own story from boyhood to manhood. In exploring issues like childhood, depression, anger, pressure, money and relationships, he shares the sometimes funny, often painful, lessons he learned along the way.

With unflinching honesty, Scott Galloway maps out an enriching, inspiring operator’s manual for being a man today.

BOYS AND MEN ARE IN CRISIS. SCOTT GALLOWAY HAS A PATH FORWARD.

NOTES FOR BEING A MAN:

Being a good dad means being good to women.
Action absorbs anxiety.
Find what you’re good at and follow your talent.
Get out of the house.
Take risk and be willing to feel like an imposter. This is a key to professional success, and masculinity.
Acknowledge your blessings, and create opportunities for others.
Be of surplus value.
Be kind.

Beth Greenwood has always imagined being someone else. Someone more successful, more exciting. More alive. What would it really be like to walk in another person’s shoes – just for a day?

And then she gets the chance to do it, with the help of the Players Club. A secret group of women who have made it their mission to let one another live their dreams. Tell them who you want to try, and they will make it happen. Circus acrobat, traffic controller, woman-who-shops-in-Chanel: no identity is out of reach. Being alive has never been so much fun.

That is, until the stakes of Beth’s own life become dangerously high, and the line between self-invention and self-delusion begins to blur. Torn between her new friends and her real responsibilities, Beth has to ask herself: when it matters most, who does she really want to be?

Smart, original, and full of heart, The Players Club will bring your imagination to life and get your book club group talking…

Longing for the real deal in the midst of what researchers are calling a 'relationship recession' is not for the faint of heart. As a single woman approaching thirty, Chanté is very familiar with modern dating culture, steeped as it is in messy situationships, choice paralysis and the gamification of dating apps. But instead of settling or falling for pernicious narratives about somehow being unworthy of love, Chanté advocates being picky. Once considered an insult, she believes being picky is actually a form of power, a declaration that you won’t compromise on the life you want.

Picky isn’t another book advising people on how to date or what to look for in a partner. It explores the way women are blamed for their singleness – and often for men’s – while navigating a dating culture that is emotionally precarious and structurally unequal. It interrogates the narratives we absorb about romance, desirability and worth, and asks what it might mean to step away altogether from shame-based ideas of love.

In her inimitable, whipsmart style, Chanté tosses aside the narratives that no longer serve us, interrogates the harmful myths than perpetuate negative dating experiences and serves us with an exciting alternative: don’t drop your standards, choose carefully and stay picky.]]> 13 02 British Vogue, Vice, Refinery29, iNews, the Independent, Women’s Health and more.

From the author of Man Gone Down—a New York Times Top Ten Book of the Year and winner of the Dublin Literary Award—comes a deeply personal memoir of race, trauma, alcoholism, parenting, mental illness and ultimately hope in a portrait of three generations of Black American men

In 2007, Michael Thomas launched into the literary world with his award-winning first novel Man Gone Down, a beautiful and devastating story of a Black father trying to claim a piece of the American Dream. Called “powerful and moving . . . an impressive success,” by Kaiama L. Glover on the cover of the New York Times Book Review, Thomas’ debut introduced a writer of prodigious and rare talent. In his long-awaited encore and first work of nonfiction, The Broken King, Thomas explores fathers and sons, lovers and the beloved, trauma and recovery, success and failure in a unique, urgent, and timeless memoir.

The title is borrowed from T.S. Eliot’s line in “Little Gidding”: “If you came at night like a broken king,” and the work ponders the process of being broken. Akin to Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time or Nabokov’s Speak, Memory, Thomas’ memoir unfolds through six powerful, interlocking and overlaying parts focusing on the lives of five men: his father—a philosopher, Boston Red Sox fan, and absent parent; his estranged older brother; his two sons growing up in Brooklyn; and always, heartbreakingly himself. At the center of The Broken King is the story of Thomas’ own breakdown, a result of inherited family history and his own experiences, from growing up Black in the Boston suburbs to publishing a prize-winning novel with “the house of Beckett.”

Every page of The Broken King rings with the impact of America’s sweeping struggle with race and class, education and family, and builds to a brave, meticulous articulation of a creative mind’s journey into and out of madness.]]> 13 02 Man Gone Down, winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and a New York Times ‘Top Ten Book of the Year’.

'A frighteningly accurate depiction of adolescence that offers no easy answers… Another powerful work from one of America’s best authors.’ Boston Globe starred review

From the Pulitzer Prize shortlisted novelist, a story of guilt, innocence, and a boy on the cusp of adolescence

‘Lee’s latest novel is a tale of almosts: a family of working-class immigrants almost living the American dream; an 11-year-old boy, almost transitioning into adulthood and straddling the worlds of his doting Korean parents and a semi-feral gaggle of neighborhood kids.’ New York Times Most Anticipated Books of 2026

A spellbinding exploration of masculinity and family dynamics as seen through the confused eyes of a prepubescent child of immigrants, A Tender Age joins the rich tradition of the coming-of-age novel. The natural descendent of characters like Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caulfield, Korean-American Jeon-Gi is torn between competing ideas of himself. At home, his working-class parents dote on him. Outside, he is part of a roving pack of kids with dominion over a derelict baseball field, weedy parking lot, and rusty jungle gym. Getting into and out of trouble is all-consuming. But the summer he turns eleven, he becomes embroiled in a staggering series of events reverberating far beyond himself and his family.

Devastating in its emotional precision, A Tender Age captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away - then thinking about it for the rest of his life.

In Car Wars, veteran auto industry insider Michael Dunne reveals how China executed one of the most consequential industrial strategies of the 21st century: building a dominant manufacturing ecosystem for electric vehicles, batteries, and software-defined cars right under the noses of Western automakers.

Why did executives in Detroit dismiss Elon Musk and China’s production prowess for years, only to be blindsided in the 2020s by a Chinese EV fleet that is more advanced, more attractive to consumers, and dramatically cheaper than Western options? Drawing on decades of firsthand experience from Detroit to California and throughout Asia, Dunne traces the pivotal decisions, personalities, and policies that reshaped the global auto industry.

The stakes extend far beyond cars. As vehicles become platforms for software, chips, and data, the outcome of the EV race will influence economic power, national security, and technological leadership for decades to come.

Longing for the real deal in the midst of what researchers are calling a 'relationship recession' is not for the faint of heart. As a single woman approaching thirty, Chanté is very familiar with modern dating culture, steeped as it is in messy situationships, choice paralysis and the gamification of dating apps. But instead of settling or falling for pernicious narratives about somehow being unworthy of love,?Chanté?advocates being?picky. Once considered an insult, she believes being picky is actually a form of power, a declaration that you won’t compromise on the life you want.

Picky isn’t another book advising people on how to date or what to look for in a partner. It explores the way women are blamed for their singleness – and often for men’s – while navigating a dating culture that is emotionally precarious and structurally unequal. It interrogates the narratives we absorb about romance, desirability and worth, and asks what it might mean to step away altogether from shame-based ideas of love.

In her inimitable, whipsmart style, Chanté tosses aside the narratives that no longer serve us, interrogates the harmful myths than perpetuate negative dating experiences and serves us with an exciting alternative: don’t drop your standards, choose carefully and stay picky.

Translated by Julia Nelsen.

It is 1946 and Milan is in ruins. Camilla opens her illegally occupied attic to her extended family as they rebuild their lives among the rubble. The absence of men – lost to war, death, or abandonment – leaves the burden of survival to the women, who use the attic to begin to imagine fragile futures: Camilla works to carry the family toward dignity and normalcy; Lalla dreams of becoming a novelist to escape their grim reality; Regina, widowed by the war, pins her hopes on her infant daughter; Alba chases independence and love. Varying political ideologies, loyalties, and wartime secrets filter through the house, creating a thick net of tension.

Fausta Cialente’s exquisite prose captures the frailty of the human heart in its desperate search for connection. As the narrative roams from the thoughts of character to character, the residents of the attic consider their own complicity and moral compromises. Tender, thought-provoking, and devastatingly beautiful, A Very Cold Winter is about the impossibility of forgetting the past and the difficulty of living with it.

‘Cause for celebration’ Jhumpa Lahiri

‘A Very Cold Winter is Fausta Cialente’s interpretation of war, family, and of womanhood… What does it take to be timeless but never outdated? This is the mystery and balance which Fausta Cialente’s novel treads. The Italian women writers that mean so much to us today – Ginzburg, de Céspedes, Lalla Romano, Fabrizia Ramondino – are not modern because we wish them to be. The reason why their work, so easily dismissed and neglected at that time, is startlingly current is because they were not afraid to imagine womanhood fully on the page, with all its consequences’ Claudia Durastanti

With the final war against the Iceheart Dynasty underway, Selena and her allies must race against time to forge their ragtag group into an army before their enemies wipe them out completely. But after everything that has been done to her, Selena struggles heavily with the effects of magic. Managing the full impact of it while fighting on the losing side of a war might just prove to be impossible. At least alone.

But her friends are battling their own demons, and not everyone comes out unscathed. With the tension mounting, long-overdue confrontations come to a head in the midst of chaos. Relationships will be altered, loyalties will be tested, and hearts will be broken—because not everyone survives to see a new era dawn.

For better or worse, the greatest battle of their time will come to an end. But in a war of fire and fury, who will be left when the ashes settle?]]> 13 02 The Oncoming Storm series, the Court of Elves series, the Ruthless Villains series, the Ruthless Enemy trilogy, and the Flame and Thorns series.

David has never lived outside Chicago, but he is determined to claim and farm the land more effectively than his father ever could. Once there, David confronts both literal and figurative giants. And soon a high-stakes struggle with the burden of his ancestors’ legacy will intertwine his fate with that of his family, the land, and the surrounding community.

Narrating this saga is David’s youngest son, Little Bit, a uniquely sensitive storyteller with immense love for his parents, his grandfather Big Man, his uncle Jonathan, his cousin, and his brothers and sister. Little Bit charts the dramatic twists and turns of his father's rise to a precarious pinnacle of wealth and power, studded as it was with quiet moments of sweetness, joy, and transcendent beauty.

At once a profound, heartfelt story about one tight-knit family and an elegant, propulsive tragedy, Goliath weaves together themes of destiny and redemption. It is a revelatory meditation on the deep, troubled ties between Black Americans and the very ground on which past generations toiled and lived.

Esther Nacht is born in Vienna in 1905. Her father dies on board a ship from Bremerhaven to Portland, Maine, and anti-Semites murder her mother in Portland. In the orphanage at St. Cloud’s, it’s clear to Dr Larch, the physician and director of the orphanage, that the abandoned child not only knows she’s Jewish, but she’s familiar with the biblical Queen Esther she was named for. Dr Larch knows it won’t be easy to find a Jewish family to adopt Esther; he doubts he’ll find any family to adopt her.

When Esther is fourteen, soon to become a ward of the state, Dr. Larch meets the Winslows, a philanthropic family with a history of providing for unadopted orphans. The Winslows aren’t Jewish, but they detest anti-Semitism and similar prejudice. Esther’s gratitude to the Winslows is unending. As she retraces her steps to her birth city, Esther keeps loving and protecting the Winslows – even in Vienna.

The final chapter of this historical novel is set in Jerusalem in 1981, when Esther is seventy-six.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/112648bb-e080-4b01-ad6d-b3d300346dc3 01 Scribner UK SIMO445 Scribner UK 01 01 Scribner UK SIMO445 Scribner UK 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 7.795 in 01 198 mm 02 5.118 in 02 130 mm 03 1.004 in 03 25.5 mm 06 15 9781471179129 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20270202 02 24.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260913 02 28.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 28.99 0.00 20260913 Scribner UK AU 01 20270202 9781499819632 02 02 1499819633 03 9781499819632 14 19781499819639 15 9781499819632 11 BH Board book Our Neighborhood <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Hurrah for Mardi Gras (An Our Neighborhood Series Board Book for Toddlers Celebrating Carnival Traditions)</TitleText> 01 262969431 1 A01 Letícia Moreno Moreno, Letícia Letícia Moreno Letícia Moreno is an illustrator and comic artist from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ming the Merciless is back on the throne of the shattered empire. Now Flash, Dale Arden, Princess Aura, and other allies are wanted everywhere. But there's one man in particular who will stop at nothing to find Flash Gordon...

And it's Flash Gordon himself.

A Flash from another universe, driven purely by vengeance for the death of his own Dale! A despot whose iron grip would rival only that of his dead wife's! With Ming the Merciless at his side, this world -- and the life of the real Flash Gordon -- is surely doomed.]]> 13 02

A NEW STORY ARC OF HONOR & CURSE: ETERNAL BEGINS HERE.

Genshi Sakagura has survived six centuries bound to a mountain spirit—but when the secretive Order of the Nine captures him, they attempt the unthinkable: surgically extracting his Tengu to weaponize ancient power for a modern authoritarian vision.

As Genshi is subjected to a nightmarish vivisection that blurs the line between technology and sorcery, the fragile balance between man and spirit finally collapses. Forced to fully surrender to the Tengu within, Genshi unleashes a transformation of devastating power—one that leaves his captors butchered and sets him loose in Exit City, a lawless artificial island where monsters, machines, and hidden rulers thrive.
But the escape comes at a cost. The bond between Genshi and his Tengu is forever changed, their enemies are far from finished, and the mastermind behind the operation may be far harder to kill than anyone imagined.

A brutal fusion of supernatural horror, mythic fantasy, and modern techno-thriller, HONOR & CURSE: ETERNAL expands the Underworld Universe with its most visceral, explosive chapter yet—where ancient gods collide with the machinery of the modern world.]]> 13 02

In a near-future world, peculiar new compulsions have arisen, afflicting individuals in bizarre ways, such as a need to paint all pigeons pink or the disastrous craving to tell the truth on dating apps. Our story focuses on the titular character of Junk Punch, a young woman with an addiction to punching people in the junk. She’s twenty years old and runs an antique store for nostalgic dogs, but Junk Punch is also the city’s self-appointed Vigilante-In-Chief, in charge of whimsically writing wrongs and rooting out all forms of injustice! Well, kind of. When the mood strikes, ya know?]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/87cbcca2-b335-47fd-88b5-b3e9003838fb 01 Mad Cave Studios SIMO864 Mad Cave Studios 01 01 Mad Cave Studios SIMO864 Mad Cave Studios 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 10.125 in 01 257.18 mm 02 6.625 in 02 168.28 mm 03 1 in 03 25.4 mm 08 0.332 lb 08 5.312 oz 08 150.59 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261116 20270202 24 02 29.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 29.99 0.00 20260913 02 35.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 35.00 0.00 20260913 Mad Cave Studios AU 01 20270202 9781545832196 02 02 1545832196 03 9781545832196 14 19781545832193 15 9781545832196 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Great Death Vol. 1</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Great Death Vol. 1</TitleWithoutPrefix> 01 263450817 1 A01 Régis Loisel Loisel, Régis Régis Loisel 2 A01 JB Djian Djian, JB JB Djian Le Grand Mort.

When a broken-down car strands a stressed-out student in the countryside, Pauline’s quiet study retreat turns into something far more dangerous—and magical. Taken in by the reclusive Erwan, Pauline discovers a hidden realm of “little people” living alongside our own world, unseen but deeply entwined with it. As the fragile balance between worlds begins to fracture, Pauline and her friend Gaëlle are drawn into a perilous journey that will test their courage, loyalty, and sense of responsibility. Blending contemporary fantasy with urgent themes of ecological balance and social justice, this spellbinding tale reveals how even the smallest lives can change the fate of two worlds.]]> 13 02
Jean-Blaise Djian collaborates with Loisel on the scripting of Le Grand Mort. While less widely profiled in English sources, credits list him as a co-writer alongside Loisel across the series, contributing to its narrative depth and worldbuilding.

Vincent Mallié, born in Paris, is a French illustrator and comic artist celebrated for his expressive visual style.

François Lapierre was born in Quebec in 1970. After studying art and graphic design, he embarked on a career in acrylic painting that led to his participation in various solo and group exhibitions. In 1996, François began a career in animation. However, driven by a desire to tell stories, he dove headfirst into his childhood dream: comic books. He thus set about developing a style and a universe he had long imagined—a project that would eventually become Sagah-Nah, published by Soleil. François Lapierre is also well known for his coloring work on Magasin Général by Loisel and Tripp, as well as on Julius, published by Glénat. Most recently, he wrote and illustrated the first volume of the Chroniques sauvages series—titled Teshkan—published by Glénat Québec.

The adventures and miseries on the island continue as Elijah and Elena remain intent on obeying the automaton, but others stand in opposition. Through their interactions with Charlie—who has lived alone on the island for years—Maya, Elijah, and Elena learn more about their prison, particularly regarding the presence of a woman living in the marshes with a horde of monkeys at her command.

As they attempt to seek out this mysterious woman, a newcomer is caught in one of Charlie's traps—he remembers neither his name nor his origins.

Most leaders assume strategy falters due to a lack of employee commitment and buy-in. The real culprit is subtler and more destructive: execution drift. It’s the slow, invisible separation between what leaders intend and what organizations actually do—fueled by vague direction, competing priorities, and leadership behaviors that quietly undermine alignment.

Behavioral scientist and strategy expert Andrea Belk Olson spent decades diagnosing why smart companies with solid strategies still fail to bring them to life. The problem isn't employee ambition or effort. It's a lack of clarity, creeping inconsistency, and the hidden friction that builds between leadership and the front line. In It Looked Great on Paper, she gives leaders a practical method for translating strategy into the everyday actions that actually move organizations forward.

Readers will learn:

Why 60–90 percent of strategies quietly fail—and the three leadership behaviors that accelerate the drift
How to build a Steering Guide: a one-page operating system that aligns daily decisions, actions, and mindsets with strategy
How to close the gap between strategy and execution without adding more meetings, metrics, or mandates
How to measure behavioral change, not just outcomes—and why it matters more than KPIs
How any leader, regardless of title, can create alignment without waiting for permission

For executives, department heads, and leaders at every level who are ready to stop presenting strategy and start living it—one decision, one action, one day at a time.]]> 13 02 ANDREA BELK OLSON is a behavioral scientist, strategist, and founder of a change agency that helps multi-billion-dollar organizations operationalize strategy and embed it within their corporate culture.

Learn how to use continuous glucose monitoring to work with your body—not against it—in this revolutionary guide from New York Times bestselling author Bill Tancer.

Your body is constantly sending you signals about what it needs, but until now, most of us have been guessing. Continuous glucose monitoring technology is changing that, providing unprecedented insight into metabolic health and empowering users to make truly personalized wellness decisions.

In The Glucose Edge, Bill Tancer, chief data scientist for the metabolic health system Signos, leverages the world’s first database combining glucose readings, food logs, weight, sleep and exercise data—over three billion glucose data points across ten thousand life-years of metabolic data—to shed light on our wildly diverse metabolic responses, and the eating, exercise, and lifestyle changes that really work.

Tancer combines cutting-edge research with straightforward guidelines that will help you use continuous glucose monitoring to:

Recognize the hidden patterns driving your cravings and energy crashes
Learn “appetite training” techniques that use glucose data as your body’s personal fuel gauge
Determine what foods work best for your metabolism—and how simple tweaks in portion, food pairings, and timing can make a big difference
Understand why and how exercise and movement, quality sleep, and stress management impact your metabolic fitness

Keeping your glucose more stable can lead to better energy, sharper focus, improved metabolic health, reduced risk of chronic conditions, and sustainable weight management. Whether you're looking to lose weight, enhance your athletic performance, support healthy aging, or simply feel your best every day, The Glucose Edge is an indispensable partner in using your CGM to make small, effective, science-backed adjustments that add up to meaningful results that last.]]> 13 02 New York Times bestselling author Bill Tancer is the chief data scientist at Signos, a company that connects people to their metabolic signals.

Carbs make up over half of our daily routines, according to conventional dietary recommendations—despite decades of scientific research linking carbs to a spectrum of health issues including obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune and metabolic disorders, and more. But carbs don’t actually fuel the body—glucose does, and it does it without causing inflammation, harming the gut, or inviting long-term disease.

In this persuasive, contemporary case against carbs, internationally renowned scientist Benjamin Bikman draws a clear line between carb-heavy diets and today’s most common health crises and demystifies the biochemistry that allows us to thrive on low-carb and even carb-free diets.

With clear, science-based recommendations for long-term wellness, The Carb Crisis empowers readers to take back their metabolic health to:

Understand how carbs slow metabolisms and hijack the body’s dopamine system to cause cravings and overeating
Practice intentional, strategic dietary choices to prevent heart disease, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and other chronic health conditions
Proactively improve cognitive and mental health by stabilizing blood sugar and hormone levels
Control carb intake and replace refined carbs with whole foods, “anti-carbs,” and other healthier options better health, mental clarity, and longevity

Accessible, authoritative, and urgent, The Carb Crisis is more than a diet book—it’s a call to action that disrupts conventional dietary wisdom and reclaim our health and relationship with carbs.]]> 13 02 Benjamin Bikman earned his PhD in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore studying metabolic disorders.

—Jason Fung, MD, international bestselling author of The Obesity Code

“Ben Bikman has been one of the most influential voices in metabolic health. In The Carb Crisis, he takes on one of nutrition’s biggest blind spots and gives us the science, history, and practical tools to rethink our relationship with carbohydrates. This book will challenge what you believe about food and empower you to take control of your health.”
—Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl, Eat Like a Girl, and Age Like a Girl

“The Carb Crisis is the conversation your doctor never had time for. Bikman names the real driver behind our modern epidemics and hands you the blueprint to take your health back . . . no prescription required. I have watched too many people battle conditions that were entirely preventable, and this is the book that should have come first: rigorous, clear, and built to help you rewrite your health story.”
—Nick Nwabueze, MD, primary care physician and founder of The Fittest You

“Professor Bikman makes a devastatingly simple case: carbohydrates are not essential nutrients, yet they sit at the center of our modern diet, driving disease and metabolic chaos. He also forces us to confront something most guidelines ignore entirely: that plant defense chemicals and agricultural residues can do real harm to human health . . . The Carb Crisis connects rigorous human biology to real-world outcomes in a way that is accessible, honest, and sorely needed.”
—Anthony Chaffee, MD, host of The Plant Free MD podcast

“Whenever I get stuck trying to explain the science behind a patient’s broken metabolism, I turn to Ben Bikman. I trust his teaching and research. This book answered so many of my questions that it’s now mandatory reading for every single one of my patients.”

Less is more.

That is, less of you is more. That’s because, as a manager, your success is measured by how effectively you clear pathways to growth for your people, eventually building teams that work without you.

Yet, when great individual performers are promoted to management, they are often surprised to find that knowing how to do is not the same thing as knowing how to teach, or even more importantly, how to lead. And that can be frustrating. Middle managers often report feeling unprepared, underappreciated, overworked, and stuck in the middle–caught between disgruntled team members and demanding executives. With Core Leadership, executive coache, speaker, and team-culture guru Stacey McKibbin and illuminates a clear and inspiring path that leads not only to getting unstuck, but to tapping the power of the middle–building a connected culture and fostering the growth of every individual on your team.

Core Leadership begins by taking a fresh look at the manager’s true role and what it means to redefine your personal vision of success. McKibbin offers up the same management wisdom and strategies she has applied successfully with managers and her teams over years of experience with companies and organizations ranging from family-owned local businesses to multinationals like Google and MetLife. Each step along the way is illustrated by stories ranging from humorous personal asides to some of her clients’ real-world success stories.

The inspiring and immediately actionable topics they explore include:

The mindset of exceptional managers
Building a connected culture based on core values
Accountability and self-governance
Mastering the art of effective communication
Coaching forward
Building a culture that works without you
Healthy communication with leadership

So much attention and so many resources have been directed at training and supporting C-Suite executives and front-line performers. Yet, relatively little expert and focused guidance has been available for people in critical roles leading and serving in the middle. With Core Leadership, McKibbin spans that gap and provides a comprehensive and definitive guide for middle managers that is both a playbook and an inspiring call to action.]]> 13 02 STACEY MCKIBBIN is the business-culture changemakers behind Consilio–a peak-performance consultancy based in San Diego, California.

Inviting you to cast off internalized beliefs that menstruation is dirty or shameful, Annalisa Derr reveals how to reclaim the Sacred Feminine Power of your menstrual cycle and reawaken to the Goddess within.

The author shares her own journey of breaking free from the cultural stigmatization of menstruation and discovering her empowering inner goddess. She details how prehistoric matriarchal cultures revered women’s menstrual blood as an expression of the Great Goddess’s life-giving, life-sustaining, and life- taking powers. Derr restores the ancient Mesopotamian goddess Inanna to her original prehistoric, pre-patriarchal manifestation as a representation of Life Force Energy and reveals how Inanna can be experienced as a living, internal presence who can help us consciously embody our own erotic aliveness.

The author reimagines the myth of the Descent of Inanna as a ritual rite of passage that aligns with the four phases of the menstrual cycle: ovulation, luteal, menses, and follicular, each with its own powers to be celebrated. She provides writing prompts and original embodied practices such as womb visualizations and ritual enactments to help you attend to the different emotions and energies associated with each phase and honor the sacred spiral of death, rebirth, and regeneration in your monthly cycle.

Presenting an affirmative sacred menstrual narrative, this empowering guide will support you to heal your relationship with your period and reclaim the sovereign menstrual power that is your birth right as a woman.]]> 13 02 23 02 INTRODUCTION

Inanna’s Return

Goddess of Sacred Female Power

My Lady looks in sweet wonder from heaven.

The people of Sumer parade before Holy Inanna.

The Lady Who Ascends into the Heavens, Inanna, is radiant.

Mighty, majestic, radiant, and ever youthful—

To you, Inanna, I sing!

“THE JOY OF SUMMER,” PRAISE HYMN FOR INANNA,

TRANSLATED AND RETOLD BY DIANE WOLKSTEIN

AND SAMUEL NOAH KRAMER

INANNA, GODDESS RISING

The Sumerian deity Inanna is becoming one of the goddess zeitgeists of our time. After being buried underground for millennia in what is now modern-day Iraq, her rediscovery and reawakening in the popular imagination foretells of Inanna’s most famous myth becoming reality. The story of her descent to the underworld and eventual rebirth mirrors our current historical moment. I agree with Jungian Sylvia Brinton Perera’s assessment that the timing of Inanna’s return from the literal underground is not a coincidence; her rebirth is part of the rising wave of Sacred Feminine consciousness around the world. For many of us, encountering the living presence of the Divine Feminine for the first time feels like coming home.

There’s a pattern in many ancient myths of powerful goddesses going into hiding because of patriarchal hubris. Goddesses from vastly different traditions—ranging from Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess of the grain; to Oshun, the West African Yoruba goddess of fresh waters; Amaterasu, the Japanese Shinto sun goddess; Corn Woman, the Lenape Nation’s corn spirit; the Hindu goddesses Sita, daughter of Earth, Sati, the first divine consort of Shiva, and Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance and auspiciousness; and Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of eroticism and war, and her Akkadian counterpart, Ištar—all have myths that tell the story of how the Divine Feminine left this world in one way or another and the disastrous effects that resulted.* In each account, an act of disrespect toward her Sacred Feminine Power is to blame.

One story that resonates with me deeply is Sati’s withdrawal from this world as told by Shiva tantric practitioner and teacher Sally Kempton. Sati, meaning “She Who Is,” is a manifestation of Shakti, the Great Goddess, who incarnates as the divine consort of Shiva, the Great Yogi.1 Their union represents the two fundamental, entwined aspects of the absolute reality: Shakti (Power) and Shiva (Universal Mind). Recognizing that there has been a gradual devaluation of women, she stipulates to the man who will be her father that though she is taking a semidivine form as Sati, she must still be honored as the Great Goddess.2 Otherwise, she won’t hesitate to leave the world.

Well, we can imagine how it goes. After many years, Daksha, her father, forgets his promise. He shows irrevocable disrespect toward Sati and the Divine Feminine more broadly by snubbing her husband, Shiva. Sati follows through with her promise. In one version of this story, the goddess self immolates from within; in another version, she jumps into a ritual fire pyre. In both versions, she withdraws her sacred essence from this world. Kempton names patriarchal hubris as the culprit, “[Daksha] embodies patriarchy’s inability to see the primal divinity of the feminine. [Sati] leaves because she knows that if the dignity of the feminine is not recognized, true union of the masculine and the feminine is not possible.”3

But thankfully, many of these stories tell us that the goddesses return, albeit after the male gods learn their lesson and agree to respect the place and power of the Sacred Feminine. For example, Yeye Luisah Teish describes how the Yoruba goddess Oshun leaves the world after the gods disrespect her. But when Oshun withdraws to the moon, she takes the essence of the life-giving “sweet waters” with her. The consequences are dire because “the sweet moisture of the Earth is the essence of Oshun. Nothing can be done on this planet without her.”4 The gods begin to panic and beg her to come back. Oshun agrees upon the condition that they “apologize,” and “[she] tells them, ‘Don’t let it happen again.’”5 She returns, and the world comes back into working balance.6

But Yeye Teish reminds us that this story has an important meaning for humanity: “[Oshun] requires that we apologize for wrong behavior . . . and do the work of repair. And on that she is relentless. . . . One of Oshun’s rules is, that which is not appreciated is taken away.”7

The message of both these myths is clear: Life is not one-sided. The Divine Feminine is not secondary, but intrinsically woven into the fabric of life itself. Harmony, abundance, peace, and flourishing require a respect and reverence for the Sacred Feminine dimensions of life.

In the Western psyche, however, the Divine Feminine was never fully buried. Though broadly depotentiated, she persists in biblical figures like Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Lilith, and Eve, to name a few. And in living traditions, such as Hinduism and several Indigenous cultures of the Americas, for example, the Divine Feminine resisted her full erasure, too. But now, after thousands of years of varying degrees of repression, goddesses from all over the world are reemerging from the depths of patriarchal sublimation. The ancient myths tell us that many of these goddesses and sacred beings portray unapologetic strength, primal creativity, eroticism, and self-possession—what a vision to behold!

Inanna is part of the groundswell of the rising Divine Feminine. However, in the myth of her descent to the underworld, the patriarchal impetus behind her journey isn’t immediately apparent—after all, she chooses to descend. But why? When I consider this myth in the broader context of Inanna’s other stories, as well as the royal ideological agendas shaping the period in which these myths were first recorded, her journey can be read as a profound act of reclaiming wholeness as a Great Goddess. Doing so also reinstates the Sacred Feminine back to her proper place in communion with the Sacred Masculine.

The Inanna that’s come down to us today was shaped, in part, by mythic propaganda that served to reinforce patriarchal social, political, and reproductive agendas of an elite class. As I illustrate in chapter 7, Inanna was transformed into a sexual fantasy for powerful men to project their hopes, dreams, and aspirations onto. And in other instances, Inanna’s status, agency, and desires were disrespected and dismissed by male gods who flaunt their positions and power over the goddess.

Inanna’s chosen death in the underworld, then, can be seen as a symbolic unburdening of the identities imposed upon her as Mesopotamian society became increasingly patriarchal. Her subsequent rebirth signals a reemergence of Sacred Feminine Power not only for ancient Mesopotamians but for us today, too. She expresses erotic agency, celebrates her vulvic power, and is also a formidable presence on the battlefield. These character traits make for a dynamically rich, yet paradoxical goddess.

We are now in the time of her total return, as foretold by these myths, and this is evidenced by the ripples happening in the collective for the past century or so that are unsettling the worldwide grip of patriarchy. Thus, her return as a cultural zeitgeist is also critical because she has reawakened as an empowering myth model for contemporary women.

The rediscovery of Inanna’s descent myth occurred within roughly a century of several other findings that are changing humanity’s perception of history. These include the discovery of the gnostic text “The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene),” which revolutionized our understanding of Magdalene’s role in the early Christian movement, and important archaeological discoveries such as Çatalhöyük, a likely matriarchal and goddess-centric Neolithic Anatolian community.8 These findings, among countless others, reveal a history strewn with evidence of female power, authority, and reverence that was simultaneously reinforced by and equally supported the rise of the modern feminist movement.

Like a wave building in strength and momentum in the middle of the ocean, the Divine Feminine is powerfully resurfacing at the individual and collective levels. She is heading for the shore with the force and unrelenting power of a tsunami wave. What will humanity choose to do with her return and the renewal of her power? While we may not yet know the answer, Inanna’s myth is one of a handful of sacred blueprints. Hers provides us clues as to how to move forward with reverence and respect for the feminine aspect of the divine.]]> 04 02 FOREWORD

Offsites are booked. The messaging sounds smart. And yet, too often, the results never come. Plans stall, teams lose momentum, and transformation efforts quietly collapse under the weight of misalignment, overcomplication, or weak execution.

In Strategy Not Stragedy, Domenic Venuto introduces a sharp new term for this all-too-common problem: stragedy—the costly gap between a strategy that sounds convincing and one that actually works in the real world. Drawing on decades of leadership across media, advertising, data, product, and transformation, Venuto offers a practical guide for leaders who want to move from intention to impact.

This is not a book about theory for theory’s sake. It is a field guide for executives, founders, and operators who need to align teams, make better decisions, communicate clearly, and execute through complexity. Venuto argues that strategy only works when three things are always connected: where you are, where you’re going, and how you will get there. Miss any one of those, and even a promising plan can unravel.

Through firsthand stories from major business transformations—including shifts from print to digital, digital to mobile, and now into the A.I. era—Venuto shows how good strategies fail, why organizations get stuck, and what leaders can do differently. He explores how to build shared vision, create buy-in across teams, translate strategy into clear action, develop the right talent, measure what matters, and adapt without losing direction.

At the heart of the book is a simple but urgent point: strategy is not just about setting ambition at the top. It is about making that ambition real at every level of the organization. That requires clarity, repetition, discipline, trust, and leadership that is willing to stay close to execution instead of hiding behind abstractions.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/effde3a9-4753-4dfe-8c6f-b4c000245b40 01 Ideapress Publishing SIMN625 Ideapress Publishing 01 01 Ideapress Publishing SIMN625 Ideapress Publishing 04 20270616 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 1.136 lb 08 18.176 oz 08 515.28 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20270616 10 02 59.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260913 02 69.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260913 Ideapress Publishing AU 01 20270616 9781665959995 02 02 1665959991 03 9781665959995 14 19781665959992 15 9781665959995 11 23 BC B102 Trade Paperback City Spies 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Europa</TitleText> 01 216373112 1 A01 James Ponti Ponti, James James Ponti New York Times bestselling author of four middle grade book series: The Sherlock Society following a group of young detectives; City Spies, about an unlikely squad of kids from around the world who form an elite MI6 Spy Team; the Edgar Award–winning Framed! series, about a pair of tweens who solve mysteries in Washington, DC; and the Dead City trilogy, about a secret society that polices the undead living beneath Manhattan.

City Spies Book 7: Europa

By James Ponti

About the Book

The City Spies are ready to start fresh with a new home, new schools, and a new directive now that Clementine has come in from the cold and Le Fantôme has been put behind bars. But their plans are put into jeopardy when Umbra threatens to attack multiple high-level targets across Europe unless he is released from prison. With intel leading them to Rome, Paris, London, and Amsterdam, the City Spies split up and race across the continent solving codes and chasing clues to thwart the attacks. With so many moving parts, the City Spies must pull out all the stops to have any chance to succeed at this latest mission.

Discussion Questions

1. Despite his incarceration in His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh High Security Unit (HSU), Lucien Allard remains a potent threat, capable of coordinating sophisticated psychological and physical operations via smuggled technology. What does learning that Lucien still has so much influence mean for Umbra and the City Spies?

2. Based on his interactions with guards and his Europa plan, discuss how Allard uses his passion for art and his mysterious reputation to maintain power even while in solitary confinement.

3. As the City Spies rush to meet Tru after she leaves them clues, Sydney prides herself on being the only one to meet Tru’s noon deadline, to which Paris tells her, “‘Because we were helping all the people you almost knocked over . . . You know, spies are supposed to move in and out of the shadows, not over and through civilians.’” (Chapter three) Based on what you already know about her, what makes this expectation difficult for Sydney? What do you see as Sydney’s greatest strengths and weaknesses?

4. During the first “Tru-torial” for the SOE (School of Espionage), Tru shares the story of Winston Churchill’s creation of his SOE and his mandate for them “to set Europe ablaze” as he wanted agents to go behind enemy lines to wreak havoc and destruction for the Nazis. Tru continues by stating, “‘Despite the glamorous way it’s portrayed in the movies, espionage is often ugly, dangerous work.’” (Chapter three) From what you’ve read about Tru, why do you think she’s compelled to remind the team about this element of being a spy? What can be gleaned from her comments?

5. Tru shares that the idea came from C, the Chief of MI6, to give the team extra training because “‘you’ve dazzled him, and he wants to train you for more challenging assignments.’” (Chapter three) How does this revelation impact the City Spies? Do you agree with C’s assessment of the team?

6. In Europa, Kat emphasizes the importance of using a numerical scale (the “Kat Scale”) to assess probability. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using objective mathematical frameworks versus gut instinct in a high-pressure environment.

7. As they travel by subway on their mission, Paris recalls an important “Motherism” and reminds Sydney, “‘When there’s something you can’t find, put yourself in the hider’s mind.’” In what ways does this lesson and the other “Motherisms” they’ve learned along the way shape the efforts of the City Spies?

8. A “curse of knowledge” occurs when an expert views information through their specific lens of expertise, assuming others share that perspective. Because of his art history background, how does Mother’s curse of knowledge lead the team in the wrong direction?

9. The Musée d’Orsay is a source of history and pride for both Paris and France; what is its cultural significance to the rest of the world?

10. Though Mother orders Paris and Sydney to move back to a safe area when it’s clear that the bomb will be detonating soon, Sydney tells him to go on while she insists on taking a look at the bomb with the time left, to which Paris tells her, “‘If you stay, I stay.’” What does Paris’s response to Sydney reveal about their relationship? What does her refusal to follow Mother’s orders reveal about her?

11. Evaluate the team’s actions at the Musée d’Orsay. In your opinion, was Sydney’s decision to stay and attempt to defuse the bomb an act of heroism or a failure of discipline? Explain your position.

12. Consider the Operation Lazarus incident in Paris, which isn’t the mass-casualty bombing it initially was feared to be. Why is the discovery of “Le Fantôme” comics on the bench in the Musée d’Orsay important and problematic? Why does this calculated act of vandalism, designed to demonstrate Umbra’s reach, prove to be so worrisome?

13. Due to their arrest, Sydney and Paris have been permanently expelled from France, limiting the team’s operational capacity for any Europa developments involving French soil. Why are the consequences of this part of the mission so dire, especially for Paris?

14. As they prepare for their journey back to London, Brooklyn shares, “‘I could live the rest of my life without stepping foot inside another Parisian train station.’” (Chapter fourteen) Based on what the team has been through, why do her words ring true? Are there ways that this part of the mission seems more difficult than others? If so, why?

15. Following the Paris incident, MI6 intercepts new messages from Allard’s burner phone ordering a call to “Activate Europa,” which implies that Umbra will execute simultaneous attacks in four major European cities in “‘more than a week and less than a month.’” (Chapter sixteen) How is this threat a greater challenge than any before for the City Spies team?

16. As he offers to stop the Europa attacks in exchange for a full pardon and entry into the protected persons program, Lucien Allard declares, “‘My heart has no goodness. I’m doing this in exchange for my freedom.’” (Chapter sixteen) Though they fear the outcomes if they can’t stop Operation Europa, why does the MI6 leadership seem uninterested in considering this exchange? Hold a debate, or, as a class, list the pros and cons to agreeing to Allard’s offer.

17. After Mother tells the team he won’t lead them with a Motherism after being teased, Monty steps up and offers, “‘Leave no prints. Hide your face. Disappear, without a trace.’” (Chapter nine) How are Monty’s words sage advice for this mission and their work in general?

18. How do the City Spies balance their unique personal skills with effective team collaboration through the events that unfold in the novel?

19. In what ways do the cryptic references to Shakespearean battlefields and the possible involvement of the high-level asset/double agent Clementine elevate the stakes even more in this mission?

20. Based on what you learn through reading Europa and your impressions of the City Spies throughout the series so far, how would you describe each member of the team? Are there ways in which you believe they have grown and changed in their time together?

21. Considering the conclusion of Europa, what do you predict will happen in the next installment of City Spies? In what significant ways have things changed for the team?

Extension Activities

1. Shakespeare’s works—In Europa, Kat identifies a cryptic crossword-style clue that ultimately leads them to “BARD,” a common moniker for William Shakespeare; from that reference, intelligence identifies four specific locations mentioned in the intercepts, all corresponding to the final settings of Shakespearean plays.

Create a KWL chart, analyzing what you already know about Shakespeare and his work. Next, move to the W to determine what you’d like to know by utilizing the five Ws method (who, what, when, where, and why) to fill in what you’d like to discover. Finally, using library and internet resources, complete the chart with what you’ve learned. Offer readers an opportunity to extend their learning by watching an adaptation of a play of choice.

2. SOE—During World War II, Winston Churchill created the SOE, Special Operations Executive, a secret task force charged with espionage, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Using library and internet resources, learn more about the SOE, starting with this piece from National Geographic: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/ministry-ungentlemanly-warfare-spies-true-story. Be sure to dig deeply to discover the following:

a. When was the SOE established?

b. Who were the individuals typically put in this program?

c. How was Churchill’s task force able to remain a secret for so long?

d. How many SOE agents were in the field?

e. What was the fate of most of the agents?

After finishing this investigation, ask readers to share any interesting facts they uncovered.

3. Violette Szabo—Violette, a famous SOE operative, is referenced by Tru during a lesson with Sydney after the incident at the Musée d’Orsay. Using resources found at the Imperial War Museum (https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/who-was-violette-szabo#:~:text=She%20was%20executed%20in%20Ravensbr%C3%BCck,Services%20(ATS)%20in%201941) and the museum named in her honor (https://www.violette-szabo-museum.co.uk/violette.html), learn more about Szabo’s life, work, and legacy. After completing the research, ask readers to share the most interesting facts they uncovered about her.

4. Musée d’Orsay—In Europa, readers learn that beyond housing some of the world’s most treasured pieces of art, the iconic and historical museum was once known as Gare d’Orsay, one of many train stations in Paris. Research and learn more about the colorful history of the d’Orsay, being sure to learn the following:

a. When was the d’Orsay built?

b. Who commissioned it and for what reason?

c. What made it unique as a train station?

d. Besides being a train station and a treasured museum, what other uses has the facility had over the years?

e. What are some of the most notable pieces found in the museum’s collection?

f. What makes the design of this building so noteworthy?

Offer readers an opportunity to use a digital tool of choice to showcase their most interesting discoveries.

5. Moulin de la Galette—In Europa, Mother mistakenly assumes that “Moulin de la Galette” is a reference to Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s celebrated masterpiece painting, Bal du moulin de la Galette, which is housed at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, rather than the name of an actual restaurant. The Impressionistic painting by Renoir depicts a Sunday afternoon at the original Moulin de la Galette in the Montmartre district of Paris. Working with a partner, investigate the following:

a. Why is the Moulin de la Galette area so famous?

b. Besides Renoir, what other famous artists chose to paint it?

c. What subjects are captured in each of these paintings?

d. What makes each artist’s focus on the neighborhood unique?

e. What was their tie to this area?

After your work is complete, share your findings with other readers in a manner of choice.

First published in 1859, Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species introduced the scientific theory of evolution by means of natural selection, a revolutionary idea at the time. Fiercely debated on its release, Darwin’s famous work was revised several times over the following decade, partly to refute the scientific and religious objections of the author’s contemporaries. In this sixth edition of On the Origin of Species, Darwin lays out his theory by citing his studies done in the GalÃ¡pagos aboard the HMS Beagle in the 1830s, as well as his follow-up research over the ensuing two decades. Featuring colorful painted edges and a heat-burnished cover, this edition of Darwin's classic work makes a fine addition to your scientific bookshelf.]]> 13 02 Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was an English naturalist who was best known as the author of On the Origin of Species.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/941bb1a9-9763-4427-b189-b42e0023da09 01 Canterbury Classics SIMO573 Canterbury Classics 01 01 Canterbury Classics SIMO573 Canterbury Classics 02 20270216 01 AU NZ 01 7.75 in 01 196.85 mm 02 5.25 in 02 133.35 mm 03 1.5 in 03 38.1 mm 08 1.7 lb 08 27.2 oz 08 771.11 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261207 20270216 12 02 29.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 29.99 0.00 20260913 02 35.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 35.00 0.00 20260913 Canterbury Classics AU 01 20270216 9781668060292 02 02 1668060299 03 9781668060292 14 19781668060299 15 9781668060292 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>It Girl</TitleText> <Subtitle>The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin</Subtitle> 01 217570707 1 A01 Marisa Meltzer Meltzer, Marisa Marisa Meltzer The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, and Vanity Fair.

The first comprehensive biography of Jane Birkin—actress, singer, and legendary style icon—and her profound cultural impact, from the “acerbic, culturally astute, and genuine” (The New York Times) author of the instant New York Times bestseller Glossy.

Jane Birkin was synonymous with chic. Her effortless style and artistic legacy have been immortalized through her music and film career. And, of course, she was the inspiration behind one of the world’s most coveted bags, the Hermès Birkin. But who was the real woman behind the it girl?

Now, New York Times bestselling author Marisa Meltzer presents a fresh, “intimate, and humanizing portrait of a woman who was far more than just a muse” (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author) and explores her profound influence on generations in a rigorously reported biography unlike any other. It Girl paints a “deeply researched portrait” (Bustle) of Birkin and her legacy, from her early years in 1960s London to her rise as a beloved celebrity in France, detailing personal challenges, her relationships with creative powerhouses, and the duality of her public and private selves.

Based on interviews and deep archival research, Meltzer reveals the nuances of Birkin’s character: her famously tempestuous romantic relationships, life with her three famous daughters, and the creative energy that drove her. “Compelling and charming” (Town & Country), It Girl tells the story of her indelible impact on femininity and style, and at last, gives Birkin her well-deserved due.]]> 13 02 The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, and Vanity Fair.

Perfect for fans of Challengers and Carrie Soto Is Back.

Octavia Ricci has spent her entire life proving she doesn’t need anyone—especially not her father, the controlling coach who built her career and broke her spirit. But after a public meltdown at the Australian Open, the icy Grand Slam champion isn’t sure if she ever wants to play again. She agrees to take it one tournament at a time, now under a new coach, determined to find her footing and love of the game again.

Ariel de Cordova was once the next big thing in tennis until a devastating injury ended his career. Now, with his confidence shot, he’s not sure he can handle another player’s comeback story—especially not a player as volatile as Octavia. But as they practice, they both tentatively open up about their experiences and begin to heal their deepest wounds.

The only stable, grounding presence in Octavia’s life is her soulmate, Leo Mantovani. But he has two soulmarks on his wrist, and when Leo shakes hands with Octavia’s new coach for the first time, Ariel turns out to be Leo’s other soulmate. Knowing the optics of a player and coach relationship aren’t ideal, they decide to keep their relationship secret and surface-level.

While Octavia, Ariel, and Leo fight to keep their relationship private, the tennis world is watching their every move. But when the spotlight turns harsh and old wounds resurface, they’ll have to decide if love is worth risking their careers, their reputations, and their hearts in this “magnetic” (Publishers Weekly) romance novel.]]> 13 02 23 02 ]]> 08 02 Triple Threat’s representations of grief, chronic pain, and journeys to acceptance.

The second book in the Westin Legacies series by Bree L. Mina is an emotional romance about a grieving woman unexpectedly left to raise her infant niece after a devastating family betrayal—and the protective man who helps her uncover long-buried secrets, heal from loss, and slowly open her heart to love again.

Grief is a fickle thing.

Sometimes it’s mixed with anger that is so consuming you resent those who left you behind.

Katie lost everything. Her sister. Her best friend. And her fiancé. Her happily ever after was destroyed by a plane crash and a selfish decision. The worst part is…they left behind a baby born from their betrayal. A baby Katie is forced to raise—even though she can hardly take care of herself.

Grief is constant.

It ebbs and flows with the tide. You either choose to fight the current and swim to the top or let the waves take you under and drown you in your sorrow.

Plagued by years of trauma, Katie starts to spiral down a dangerously familiar path. And seeing those who destroyed her in the face of her infant niece sends her hurtling toward self-destruction. Until her ex’s brother shows up, determined to help her through the worst moments of her life.

Grief is an expense.

It’s the cost of loving someone with all your heart, knowing you’ll never get forever. But what do you do when your tears run out, and you no longer want to swim to the surface?

Wes is everything Katie didn’t know she needed. And soon enough, he becomes her reason to swim again. But when events of her past find their way into the present, they learn their lives were connected in more ways than they thought, and buried family secrets don’t stay hidden forever.]]> 13 02 44 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/c7bd07f8-6aff-461c-9c44-b40b0024a7bf 01 Simon Maverick SIMN207 Simon Maverick 01 01 Simon Maverick SIMN207 Simon Maverick 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.3125 in 02 134.94 mm 03 1.08 in 03 27.432 mm 08 0.733 lb 08 11.728 oz 08 332.48 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261026 20270202 20 02 32.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 32.99 0.00 20260913 02 37.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260913 Simon Maverick AU 01 20270202 9781668275771 02 02 1668275775 03 9781668275771 14 19781668275778 15 9781668275771 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Queens Command 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Mariposa</TitleText> 01 253200281 1 A01 Lexie Axelson Axelson, Lexie Lexie Axelson Lexie Axelson 01 eng 416 00 416 03 FIC027560 10 FIC027220 10 FIC027230 20 military romance; special forces romance; forbidden romance; age gap romance; ex-boyfriend’s dad romance; forbidden military romance; military instructor romance; instructor student romance; special forces training romance; older man younger woman romance; elite female soldier; strong female lead; special operator hero; scarred military hero; taboo age gap romance; steamy military romance; contemporary military romance; reckless attraction romance; dark military romance; intense forbidden romance; high-spice age gap romance; powerful heroine romance; emotionally guarded hero; romance with a strong heroine; readers of Rina Kent; readers of Elle Kennedy; readers of Elsie Silver; spicy romance for adults; forbidden romance books; military romance novels 93 FRV 93 FRX 93 FJM 01 01 01 02 **Sprayed edges available in first printing only!**

An incendiary and unforgettable military romance about a woman strong enough on the outside to make it into the elite Special Forces unit, and the man strong enough to see her for who she truly is on the inside, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Rina Kent, and Elle Kennedy.

I made it into the Special Forces course, but there are three problems.

Problem number one? One of my instructors is the infamous Special Operator Beast—a man everyone fears due to his cold heart and polished career. He loathes being away from his team, which makes graduating nearly impossible for all of us, mainly for his least favorite student: me.

Problem number two? My heart skips a beat whenever I look into his cruel eyes, and my blood heats whenever he’s near me. He’s tall, scarred, and a devastatingly irresistible man who never smiles.

Oh, and problem number three? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

We try to stay out of each other’s way to make our reckless forbidden attraction fade, but fate keeps bringing us together. The military calls me The Unbreakable Soldier, but falling for Kade O’Connell might be my undoing.]]> 13 02 44 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/3f7dac80-e72d-4640-a160-b46600249db6 01 Simon Maverick SIMN207 Simon Maverick 01 01 Simon Maverick SIMN207 Simon Maverick 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.3125 in 02 134.94 mm 03 0.96 in 03 24.384 mm 08 0.651 lb 08 10.416 oz 08 295.29 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261102 20270202 40 02 34.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 34.99 0.00 20260913 02 39.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260913 Simon Maverick AU 01 20270202 9781681161440 02 02 1681161443 03 9781681161440 14 19781681161447 15 9781681161440 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three</TitleText> 01 263816398 1 A01 Stefanie Broos Broos, Stefanie Stefanie Broos CA 2 A01 Tanya Lapointe Lapointe, Tanya Tanya Lapointe MDT Media Tie-In 01 eng 240 00 240 03 PER004140 AB 2.1 10 ART057000 10 PER004010 93 AB 01 01 01 02 From the mind of visionary director Denis Villeneuve—who brought Frank Herbert’s celebrated Dune novels to life on screen—this remarkable art book includes stunning concept art, storyboards, and set photography from the epic conclusion of the Dune movie trilogy.

They told stories from the Dreaming, of hunting, working on stations and of the mining camps that this community worked on after the 1946 Pilbara Strike. This book traces the stories of the authors and illustrators, who set down their lived experiences and the stories of their ancestors for the generations to come. Their art and literature were made for a tight knit community who purchased their own pastoral stations and ran their own community-controlled bilingual school, as they set out to be independent of mainstream Australia and its governments.

Lonely, _____ starved and far from home (in every sense), Georgie seeks companionship in increasingly unusual places: a serial killer possum that lives outside their window, nude pack animals reflected in their mirror, and the warm embrace of their meticulously cultivated gut microbiome. That is, until their ____ friend Adam decides to set them up with his __ lover Freya.

As Georgie and Freya grow more intimate, Adam drifts further from reach, being drawn, as he is, into the orbit of his charismatic housemate Nate (an older man with a proud proclivity for ______ meats). But when Nate persuades Adam into a _____________ exchange, everyone’s tenuous relationship with their own body is drawn into sharper focus.

Grotty, visceral and savagely incisive, Perpetual Stew confronts the quiet violences of middle-class Melbournian ennui.

Filmmaker Laurie Hamilton knows a red flag when she sees one, and Kindred Souls sets off every alarm. The organisation claims to counsel couples for a steep price, but what's their real deal? Is it a scam … or a cult?

On a hunch that might get her killed, Laurie heads undercover with Connor Kincaid – a dangerously handsome podcaster and the one man she swore she’d never see again. Posing as the perfect match, they infiltrate a Kindred Souls retreat run by Cardinal, the enigmatic leader whose eerie charisma and devoted followers suggest there’s far more going on than relationship counselling.

Once inside, there’s no leaving. Surrounded by couples desperate to prove they’re soulmates, Laurie and Connor quickly realise the retreat isn’t about finding love – it’s about deciding who deserves it.

When things go from creepy to deadly, Laurie must decide who she can trust. Getting out alive is one thing, but what if she starts to grow feelings for the man she’s pretending to love? Urgh.

On colonial Australia’s pastoral frontier, three lives intertwine in a story of dispossession, identity and belonging.

Twyla, an Aboriginal child separated from family and suffering memory loss, is forced to work as a domestic servant on a property in north-west NSW, where she takes refuge at the creek and finds a friend and protector in Gamilaraay station hand, Garruu.

Sheep overseer Tom, an emancipist and former Kidderminster carpet weaver, alienated geographically and by the settler violence around him, hungers for family, friends and justice.

When Garruu is wrongfully arrested, Twyla and Tom’s courage is tested as they stand up for justice in the face of intense racism.

Weaving together a vivid sense of Country, and laced with Gamilaraay language, Crossing the Creek is a love story between a man, a woman and a place, and also important truth-telling through fiction.

All Zhenya has ever wanted is to escape her tiny village with her best friend Shuhua, but she must care for her grandmother, whose madness haunts their crumbling family bookstore.

It is only when her grandmother dies that Zhenya discovers it was never madness, but a curse. One that has passed on to Zhenya, her only remaining descendant. The curse screams to be fed, and Zhenya is powerless to stop it when it forces her to kill Shuhua with her bare hands.

As Zhenya grapples with Shuhua’s death, she’s confronted by two immortals: Kaijun, the broody judge of hell, and Yaori, the flirtatious goddess of death. Together, they drag Zhenya to Diyu – hell itself – in order to free Shuhua’s soul. There, Zhenya must undertake trials that will test her in unimaginable ways.

To complicate things further, Zhenya finds herself torn between Kaijun and Yaori, grappling with feelings she doesn’t fully understand. But she can’t afford to be distracted, not when the only way to break the curse is to destroy it herself.

To stop a diabolical series of mysterious murders, Dr. Kay Scarpetta must hunt for a killer who leaves no trace, in the newest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell.

A billionaire couple, founders of an elite security firm, are found dead in their mansion, apparently stung by yellow jackets. The victims were both highly allergic and there are no signs of foul play, but Virginia chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the case may not be as straightforward as it seems.

When she uncovers a link between the couple and another body in her morgue, her worst suspicions are confirmed: these deaths were anything but accidental. Only a highly sophisticated criminal could pull off these murders completely undetected. And only Scarpetta can stop the monster before he strikes again.

I will tell you our story in the language of your time ...

The year 1810 in the colony of New South Wales: George Jarvis has just arrived with his master, the newly appointed Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Having been in Macquarie’s service all over the world for more than a decade, George now wants permission to return to India to find his mother.

In Sydney, he is reunited with Shammy, who was bought along with him at the age of five. While George is torn between yearning to see his mother and compulsive loyalty to the Scotsman who has been like a father to him, Shammy is a fierce advocate for freedom. She too is a servant, but she bows and scrapes to no one. A woman of immense intelligence, she has big plans and the determination to carry them out. But there will be unforeseeable consequences of her fiery ambition …

This highly original, audacious novel reimagines a crucial period in Australia’s history from the perspective of the vanquished, and tells a wider tale of the slave trade across the British empire. It repaints a whitewashed era in all the richness of the servants’ heritage and coats it with a wickedly witty takedown of the colonisers and their hypocrisy.

‘Here is early Sydney as you’ve never seen it. Roanna Gonsalves’s vision is original and thrilling. This novel is an astonishment. A firework. A gamechanger.’ Michelle de Kretser, winner of the Stella Prize and 2 Miles Franklin Awards

She began illustrating in 2010 after the arrival of her first child, who she credits with reintroducing her to the world of picture books. Since then, she has illustrated more than 20 picture books, including the CBCA Book of the Year: Early Childhood winner Jetty Jumping by Andrea Rowe.

Her work is known for richly detailed worlds filled with warmth and small discoveries for children to uncover. Many of these details are drawn from her family life and her own childhood memories, with toys and trinkets from home often hidden among the pages of her books.

Hannah enjoys pineapple tea, bullet journaling, the bouldering gym and meditation classes.

Malka Marom will tell you that art saved her life. As a child, she craved stories and songs more than sustenance, and it’s no surprise, perhaps, that they ended up being the central thread of her unusual, often amazing life.

In the ’60s, with her singing partner, Joso Spralja, another immigrant to Canada, Malka formed a singing duo that made world music a domestic hit, and though they rarely sang in English, they eventually had one of the bestselling records of the era and a CBC TV show after Hockey Night in Canada.

Later, Marom channeled her love of music and poetry into journalism, producing award-winning documentaries and interviews with Canadian luminaries such as Joni Mitchell, Irving Layton, and Leonard Cohen. These artists eventually became lifelong friends, and the former folk singer found herself spending many surprising days with some of the most original creators of the era, including Bob Dylan.

Spanning a childhood in wartime Israel through the folk scene of the ’60s and ’70s in Canada, Only the Story Remains shares snapshots of a time long past and reveals the hidden side of show business and familiar icons. These are tales of perseverance, reinvention, and the power of art, of a story-hungry child who went on to live some remarkable tales of her own.]]> 13 02 Malka Marom began her career as a folksinger in the popular duo Malka & Joso, who were the first to bring world music to Canada. As a soloist, Marom has performed on stage, TV, and radio around the world. She is also known and respected as a radio broadcaster and documentary maker and is the author of Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words and the bestselling novel Sulha.

I Who Have Always Felt Words is a poetry collection shaped by inheritance, faith, and the radical act of thriving amid hardship. Moving through the four temperaments, Shams Alkamil crafts a lyric architecture that holds Sudanese identity, familial lineage, political violence, spirituality, and the pursuit of compassion in delicate tension.

These poems braid etymology with embodiment, tracing how language is inherited, questioned, and transformed. Alkamil interrogates what it means to belong—to a homeland fractured by violence, to a lineage marked by survival, to a spiritual tradition that both anchors and unsettles. Across the collection, voice becomes both offering and resistance: a means of devotion, protest, and continuity.

Rooted in Black diasporic consciousness and spiritual inquiry, I Who Have Always Felt Words insists on the necessity of speech even when silence is demanded. This is a book that listens deeply—to ancestors, to faith, to grief—and answers with clarity, grace, and unflinching honesty.]]> 13 02 Shams Alkamil is a Sudanese-American poet, educator, and copywriter based in Texas.

“In Shams Alkamil’s I Who Have Always Felt Words, words are alive. Language has many lives and afterlives—it lingers between the living and the dead, between prayer, protest, and curse. In this formally inventive, restless collection, Alkamil moves between essayistic gestures, anaphoric incantations, and lyric self-portraiture as she maps the entanglements of the spiritual, the speculative, the political, and the ungodly. Tethered to a grieving Sudan, I Who Have Always Felt Words is an essential, arresting collection that insists “this broken world,” where “sorrow embroiders the walls,” is not beyond revival.” — Sara Elkamel, author of Field of No Justice and Garden City Sea

"In I Who Have Always Felt Words, Shams Alkamil forces you to feel: through the pulse of God, and the hands of relatives as they exist on Earth before they retire into the afterlife. In a collection "thick with dhikr," the Quran is beautifully intertwined like guiding light posts leading you to a home you once knew. Alkamil's forgotten prayers remind us of the love that saves, the nostalgia which flavors a dish, and the ancestors who left us for the better. Alkamil shines a light on our unspoken love and the rooms filled with darkness of grief." — Maha Haswhi, author of The Pomegranate Is a Grenade]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/cc94fc5a-5a6c-4216-9f26-b42900246a4e 01 Central Avenue Poetry SIMO975 Central Avenue Poetry 01 01 Central Avenue Poetry SIMO975 Central Avenue Publishing 02 20270216 2027 01 AU NZ 01 8 in 01 203.2 mm 02 5.25 in 02 133.35 mm 08 0.156 lb 08 2.496 oz 08 70.76 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261207 20270216 80 02 32.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 32.99 0.00 20260913 02 37.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260913 Central Avenue Publishing AU 01 20270216 9781772944235 02 02 1772944238 03 9781772944235 14 19781772944232 15 9781772944235 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Veil 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Veil Volume 6: Untangled Rouge</TitleText> 01 267192501 1 A01 Kotteri Kotteri Kotteri 01 eng 128 00 128 03 CGN004050 WHC 2.1 10 CGN004090 10 CGN014000 20 Manga;Classic;Shojo;Historical;Romance;Friendship;Fashion;High fashion 93 XAB 01 01 01 02 A full color manga, featuring charming short vignette chapters.

]]> 01 eng 256 00 256 03 93 WNGC 93 WNG 93 FNF 01 01 01 02 Once upon a time, a magician plucked a flicker of fire, a coil of smoke, and two sparkling stars from the sky. He moulded them together, muttering words of enchantment. Soon a small animal formed, with fur the colour of smoke, eyes bright as stars, and a tongue like a flicker of flame. It was a kitten – the first in all the world.

Cats have been with us for millennia: kept as beloved companions, used as supreme hunters or feared as supernatural beings – and they appear in our folktales in all these guises. Every part of the world has its own fables, whether it’s ‘Dick Whittington and His Cat’ in England; the Irish ‘Demon Cat’; Japan’s ‘The Boy Who Drew Cats’; or the Icelandic story of ‘The Cottager and His Cat’.

These felines might appear as guides or demons; they are contrary, enigmatic, malevolent; they are both friends and foes, cherished and reviled. But whether winning kingdoms, falling in love or outwitting giants, they are the epitome of what we know the cat to be: mysterious, roguish and endlessly lovable.

The Cat’s Tales is a charming collection of stories from around the world, bringing together much-loved classics and more unfamiliar gems. Both beautiful and surprising, this is the perfect companion for cat lovers everywhere.

A visionary engineer with a passion for speed, his legacy is the most iconic fighter aircraft of all time: the Spitfire.

During the uneasy peace of the 1920s, he was a trailblazing innovator working at the cutting edge of technology. As Europe’s politics darkened in the 1930s, the work of Mitchell and his team became crucial to a nation preparing for war. Though he did not live to see the Spitfire in action, his work led to triumph at the Battle of Britain – and to a legendary aircraft that still inspires awe to this day.

This is the first time Mitchell’s full story has been told for a general audience. In this exhilarating biography, Paul Beaver takes us behind the scenes, exploring the creative genius of a man devoted to pushing the boundaries of technology. We see his flair for leadership and collaboration with Rolls-Royce, the pinnacle of British engineering; we learn of Mitchell’s other innovative designs that could have changed the course of the war, had he not died in 1937; and, at last, we hear the real story behind the Spitfire.

Drawing on new interviews, private archives and previously unpublished material, this is the definitive biography of a man who helped change the course of history – one of the great design leaders of the twentieth century.

]]> 13 02 Paul Beaveris a leading aviation historian, broadcaster and author, as well as an historic airplane pilot who has been flying the Spitfire since 2011. He has written more than forty books including Spitfire People, Spitfire Evolution and Winkle: The Extraordinary Life of Britain’s Greatest Pilot.

When corrupt heroes control the world, it’s up to one man to play the part of the villain and stand up to them.

Society is stained by the very heroes who swore to protect it and now one man must play the part of a villain in order to save the world. Villain Actor Vol. 3, from the acclaimed team behind Volume 1 - writer Mikumo Seto and artist Kentaro Harada – is the climactic volume in this story of role reversal and justice.

Ayumu Mashiro, once an ordinary police officer with a strong moral code, now wields the terrifying power of Zero - the most feared villain in history. But heroes aren’t who they seem. 6 months have passed since Lordline slaughtered the rebellion and now Mashiro and the remaining rebels are on the hunt for the First Heroes, those at the top of the hero hierarchy.

After the events in Volume 2 Mashiro has fully accepted his role as the villain in society’s eyes and has forgone his moral code to not kill, swearing to eviscerate Lordline, but with such a brutalist approach, how soon before Mashiro stops playing a role and becomes the villain the world thinks he is.

Think The Boys ripped into a manga format: grounded, gritty, and unafraid to expose the shadows behind the capes. Remember that wielding the powers of a villain, doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/8bc26cfc-a0a7-477c-89fc-b4090024f34d 01 Titan Books SIMN370 Titan Books 01 01 Titan Books SIMN370 Titan Books 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 7.165 in 01 182 mm 02 5.039 in 02 128 mm Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20270202 02 21.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 21.99 0.00 20260913 02 25.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 25.99 0.00 20260913 Titan Books AU 01 20270202 9781803369730 02 02 1803369736 03 9781803369730 14 19781803369737 15 9781803369730 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Sworn Soldier <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText> What Stalks the Deep</TitleText> 01 270770811 1 A01 T.

Bewitchment, a burnt-out young woman - with the help of her small town’s hunky local antiques dealer - works to turn an abandoned hardware store into the coffee shop of her dreams.

Anxious and overworked, Cait Wolfe lives a high-pressure life as a graphic designer with her fluffy orange cat in Cumberville, Alabama. Things are hectic but sustainable. . . until the creep from work who simply won’t take “no” for an answer moves in down the hall and causes her to lose out on a big client. Cait knows she needs a change. So when her sister invites her to come to Arcadia Falls, where free lodging, an inherited hardware store, and a magical legacy await her, it’s an easy “yes.”

Except... her new property is in dire need of a makeover, and Cait’s not sure her frazzled nerves or her stretched-thin finances can survive the renovation that will give her life the reset she so desperately desires and turn a hoarder situation into a livable apartment and a cozy coffee shop. Lucky for Cait, laid-back local picker and part-time cowboy Brendan McGillicuddy is more than happy to help her fix up the place - and to teach her how to relax while he’s at it.

Set in Slatter’s much-loved Sourdough universe, this dark magical fantasy is perfect for fans of The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow and Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher.

Her Grace, the True Princess Emlyn Mentoras, has come home after twenty years. The sole survivor of the slaughtered royal family of Five Ports, her life’s been dedicated to winning back her kingdom from the vicious Woodcutter Kings. Overseen by the Beldame Lanike she’s learned the ways of sword and shield, to rule and also – perhaps surprisingly – to show mercy. Emlyn wants the city to live again, for her people to prosper and, most of all, to follow in the footsteps of her idol, St Callwen, Five Ports’ founder.

But Emlyn’s got a secret that will blow her hard-won existence apart…

When the horrors of her past catch up with her, she finds herself on a journey into the underworld with a loyal knight by her side seeking an elusive crown. A deadly quest that will test all her skill and courage and reveal a betrayal at the heart of the kingdom. A deeply engrossing, richly told dark fantasy of a blighted monarchy, a stolen destiny and a young woman’s difficult search for her own path.

Amidst the brutality of the French and Indian War, an officer in the legendary Rogers’ Rangers is thrust into a nightmare that will challenge both his leadership and his lifelong quest to leave his father’s heritage behind. Lieutenant Geoffrey Rapelje is tasked with guiding a ranger detachment to his birthplace to preserve a fragile treaty between the British and his father’s people.

What Geoffrey finds is not the idyllic village of his youth, but a land—and a tribe—ravaged by a vicious, unknown force.

He and his rangers embark on a harrowing journey across a North American wilderness beset by violence, betrayal, and inexplicable terrors. To defeat a genocidal enemy, Geoffrey must embrace a dark truth he has long denied.

What Are They Feeling? is a fun, engaging introduction to reading other people’s feelings—an essential social-emotional skill for every child.

Join Detective Feelings on a playful investigation into the clues that reveal how someone else might be feeling. Children learn to look closely at facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and what’s happening in a situation. Are they smiling, frowning, nervous, excited, or confused? Did someone tell a funny joke—or say something unkind?

As young readers follow along, they discover:

What empathy is and why it matters
How to understand someone’s emotions even if you’ve never experienced the same thing
How people can feel differently in the very same moment
Why showing care helps us build strong friendships and feel more confident in social situations
With relatable examples—like moving to a new country, starting a new school, or feeling left out—children learn that everyone has their own inner world, and that noticing others’ feelings helps us connect.

Filled with vibrant, witty illustrations by award-winning artist Daniel Gray-Barnett, this book offers a joyful, accessible way to help children navigate emotions, improve communication, and grow their emotional intelligence.

Perfect for parents, teachers, or caregivers who want to support children ages 4–8 in developing empathy, social skills, and emotional awareness.

The Map of Me invites young readers to see their bodies differently. Rather than something to be judged or compared, the body becomes a map—marked by freckles, scars, birthmarks, and changes that tell the story of who we are and how we grow.
Written with warmth and sensitivity, the story encourages children to notice, name, and value the marks that make them unique. Each mark carries meaning: a reminder of adventure, resilience, family, or love. Through this lens, difference becomes something to celebrate rather than hide.
Ideal for shared reading at home or in the classroom, The Map of Me supports conversations around body awareness, self-acceptance, and emotional literacy in a way that feels accessible and affirming rather than didactic. Grace Fraraccio’s expressive illustrations add depth and warmth, offering visual cues that invite empathy and reflection.
The book speaks directly to children navigating early questions of identity, while also providing caregivers and educators with a valuable tool to counter negative body messaging and build confidence from a young age.

For decades, Mark Cloutier lived with unanswered questions about his adoption, holding them at a careful distance while building a life shaped by rivers, solitude, and the discipline of fly fishing. Only later in life—after the death of his parents and with time pressing in—does he begin the search for the woman who gave him up. That search becomes both external and internal, unfolding alongside days spent fishing Tasmania’s remote highland waters.
Rather than framing fly fishing as escape or lifestyle, Looking for June presents it as emotional architecture: a way of slowing thought, containing anxiety, and creating the mental space required to confront uncertainty. As Cloutier navigates adoption records, genealogical dead ends, and the ethical complexity of reaching out, he also reflects on masculinity, silence, illness, grief, and the long shadow of belonging.
The book weaves together:
• Adoption and genealogy, particularly the emotional weight of searching later in life
• Men’s mental health, explored without confession or sentimentality
• Fly fishing as contemplative practice, grounded in technical knowledge and lived experience
• Immersive nature writing, where rivers and weather mirror interior states.
Written with clarity and restraint, the narrative resists easy answers. The rivers do not solve the problem, but they make it possible to stay with it. Each fishing trip becomes a measured step toward understanding—not just of June, but of the self that has been shaped by absence.
Looking for June is ultimately a book about paying attention: to landscape, to memory, and to the truths that surface only when life is allowed to slow down.

]]> 13 02 Mark Cloutier is an Australian author whose writing sits at the intersection of fly fishing, nature, and personal narrative. He is the author of River Song (2019) and a regular contributor to FlyLife magazine. His essays and features have appeared internationally, including in The Fly Fish Journal and The Drake in the United States.
After retiring from corporate life, Cloutier relocated to Tasmania’s Central Highlands, where he lives with his wife and writes from a remote lakeside shack. Looking for June is his most personal work to date, drawing on a lifetime of fly fishing and a late-life search for his birth mother to explore identity, masculinity, and the quiet work of attention.

You don’t need a trust fund, or a fancy degree. You just need clarity, discipline, and the willingness to live differently from everyone around you.

A unique approach to building and keeping wealth.

Part memoir, part playbook, Making More With Less reveals the hard-won lessons learned from two decades of false starts, failed businesses, and eventual financial freedom. It is an antidote to false promises of financial gurus selling get-rich-quick schemes while renting Lamborghinis. Instead, it shares real experiences, real numbers, and real results. If you feel as if you’re working harder than ever and going backwards, then here is a framework and multiple action steps to apply in everyday life that will increase your bank balance – without you feeling deprived!

Written by a self-confessed minimalist, Rafael Niesten encourages readers to: own less; experience more; invest the difference; give generously; and never forget that the purpose of wealth is not to accumulate more but to live a life that is free, meaningful and genuinely your own.]]> 13 02

From collecting cans in Perth to a US private equity exit, his story proves what relentless drive can build. This book is really about freedom, not just financial independence but a focus on minimalism and a simpler, intentional life. Essential reading on life’s hard-won lessons.’]]> Gareth Woodbridge, Managing partner (private equity) 08 02 ‘I have known Rafael since he was a boy, and it has been wonderful to see all that he has achieved.

Raf somehow makes saving, investing and building wealth feel practical and relatable.

Smart, entertaining and full of genuinely useful takeaways. I’d recommend to anyone wanting to be smarter and more intentional with their money.’]]> Jacinda Manettas, Finance broker 08 02 ‘Raf is a force of nature. From hustling cans to building multiple successful businesses to exit, Raf has shown a relentless desire to build, and has avoided many of the pitfalls that founders fall victim to as they play real-life snakes and ladders. This book will guide you through avoiding the shiny objects that bring minimal pleasure and slow you down as you build the business and the life you dream of. A must read, Making More With Less is filled with lessons, reflections and plenty of laughs from a man who started with nothing and has achieved everything he set his mind to and a blueprint for you to do the same.’]]> Matt Browne, Managing partner, Black Nova Venture Capital 08 02 ‘Raf has the rare and enviable talent of being able to step outside accepted truths and perceptions to analyse opportunities in both life and business, and chart his own, often contrarian path to success: the kind of success that seems all too obvious after the fact, but is otherwise missed by so many. After two decades in international finance and investing, I wish I’d have had access to this kind of book not just at the start, though, at any point along my professional journey.’]]> Adam Baxter, International finance professional 08 02 ‘Making More With Less is an essential read: a practical, in the trenches, honest guide for anyone who wants to build real wealth.

"This is cowboy romance at its finest: romantic, sexy, and full of feeling. The story lassoed my heart and left me wanting more!" Jessica Peterson, New York Times bestselling author of the Lucky River Ranch series.

Trace Dalton is a world-champion bull rider, built on grit, fame, and a bad boy reputation. When a leaked scandal threatens his career, he’s sent back to Copper Lake, Wyoming, with strict instructions: lay low, work at Sunset Hope ranch, and stay out of trouble.

It would be the perfect plan… if Copper Lake didn’t come with Harlan Pierce. Once Trace’s best friend, almost his everything, Harlan now works at Sunset Hope, and is determined to keep his heart guarded, and their shared history exactly where it belongs: in the past.

But staying out of trouble becomes impossible when Trace’s agent proposes a reckless solution: a fake relationship with the one man he can’t stand.

The only problem? The chemistry between them isn’t fake.

Forced back into each other’s lives, they’re now sharing rodeo appearances, staged smiles, and enough forced proximity to test their limits. The closer Trace gets to Harlan, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real, what’s an act — or what they’ve been denying all along.

When the truth finally breaks through, Trace must decide: Will he walk away…or risk it all for the only man who’s ever mattered?]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/440e8516-b63e-4dfe-9742-b459002759a8 01 Arndell SIMN004 Arndell 01 01 Arndell SIMN004 Keeperton 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 8 in 01 203.2 mm 02 5 in 02 127 mm 08 0.644 lb 08 10.304 oz 08 292.11 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261221 20270202 32 02 24.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260913 02 28.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 28.99 0.00 20260913 Keeperton AU 01 20270202 9781923232488 02 02 1923232487 03 9781923232488 14 19781923232485 15 9781923232488 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Celestial Seal <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Dawn of the Eclipse</TitleText> 01 268242317 1 A01 E.L.

Aria Morryn is the Empire’s perfect soldier. Loyal, disciplined, and raised to obey without question. When stationed at the Iron Hold she expects cruelty. Monsters. What she doesn’t expect is him.

Malakai Varos is the Empire’s newest prisoner. Powerful, brooding, darkness personified. And yet, he is the first person to look at Aria like he truly sees her… like he’s been waiting centuries for her.

As rebellion rises and an ancient evil spreads across the realm, Aria uncovers secrets buried deep within her past. Forced to choose between duty and desire, she finds herself at the center of a battle as personal as it is catastrophic. And at the heart of it stands the one man capable of undoing her completely.

Malakai would kill for her.

Die for her.

Rewrite destiny for her.

Their collision was fated. An unbreakable bond written in fire and ice. But the deeper Aria falls into the Empire’s lies, the more she begins to suspect the most terrifying truth of all: she was never meant to serve it.

Francesca Ferrara has the perfect life. A career she loves. A powerful family behind her. A future already chosen. Except she never stopped wanting the one man she was forbidden to have…

Giuliano Linden.

Her first love. Her greatest secret. The boy who stole her heart in the shadows.

Their love was impossible from the start…built on stolen kisses, whispered promises, and a future they were never meant to share. Until tragedy tore them apart and buried their dreams forever.

Years later, Giuliano returns. But the boy Francesca loved is gone. In his place stands the ruthless head of Italy’s most feared empire, a man forged by power and betrayal. A man with enemies waiting to exploit the one thing he cannot afford to lose.

Her.

Because their love was never over. It was only waiting.

When old secrets resurface and enemies close in, Francesca must decide if the man she once loved is worth risking everything for.

Because loving Giuliano could save her…or ignite a war.

War is a machine with many moving parts, but not all who serve carry weapons.

Patched Up is a powerful and deeply human account of the Australians who cared for the wounded during the Vietnam War, on the battlefield, in field hospitals, aboard aeromedical evacuation flights and back home.

Drawing on first-hand testimonies, interviews and historical records, it reveals the experiences of medics, nurses, doctors, chaplains, Red Cross and Salvation Army workers, alongside the voices of the wounded themselves. From the chaos of combat zones to the wards of Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, these were the people who worked under immense pressure to save lives, on the ground and in the air.

But the story does not end with survival. Patched Up confronts the long shadow of war: trauma, disability, loss, and the ongoing fight for recognition and support faced by veterans and their families.

This is a moving tribute to those who served with skill, courage and compassion, and to the human cost of war that endures long after the fighting stops.

'An essential and long-overdue story of courage, care and quiet heroism.'

'A deeply moving account that finally gives voice to those who healed the wounded—and carried the cost.'

‘Powerful, honest and deeply human—this is the Vietnam War as you’ve rarely seen it.’

For decades, the Taipan Organisation has carried out the missions governments cannot. Invisible. Untouchable. Unmatched. Until now.

When the organisation's covert Controllers begin turning up dead across Europe and the Middle East, Taipan realises it isn't facing a rival contract — it's facing extinction.

Behind the killings is Kulak, a powerful Russian private military company locked in a decades-old shadow war with Taipan. Leading the hunt is Rainer Toussaint, a relentless assassin with one final objective: destroy Taipan's command network, then settle an old score with Damien Hunter.

Only one Controller remains. Lose him, and the organisation loses its eyes, ears and command.

Hidden inside a covert operations centre in northern Iraq, Hudson Blake has become the most valuable man in the organisation, and the most hunted. Damien Hunter and the battle-hardened operators of Taipan 16 are sent to keep him alive. Instead, they find themselves fighting a war that stretches across Iraq and into Iran, where betrayal, private armies, drones, tanks and air strikes collide in a relentless race against time.

As old enemies close in and the body count rises, Damien is forced to confront an impossible choice: rescue the man who holds Taipan together or kill him before he falls into enemy hands.

For the first time, the mission isn't the contract.
It's the survival of the organisation.

She could not protect herself from what she carried home.

On her second shift as a twenty-two-year-old police officer, Christine Odell watched a man with most of his face missing walk towards her.

It was the beginning of a career spent inside the places most people could not bear to enter.

Across twenty-seven years in the New South Wales and Queensland police services, Christine worked in frontline policing, child sexual abuse investigation, tactical operations and forensic crime scene examination. She investigated murders, suicides, sexual assaults, unexplained deaths and crimes against children, learning to read blood patterns, preserve evidence and remain composed in the presence of unimaginable violence.

At home, she said little about what she had seen.

Christine kept the darkest parts of her work from her family, believing silence would protect them. But the crime scenes did not remain behind the police tape. The bodies, smells and final moments of strangers entered her dreams, followed her home and began to fracture the resilience that had carried her for years.

Leaving the police did not end Christine’s work. It redirected it.

Following the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, she joined a humanitarian needs-assessment team and discovered a different use for the skills forged among the dead. She went on to work in Cambodia and Mozambique alongside governments, law enforcement agencies and international organisations responding to child sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

For years, Christine had arrived after the worst had happened. Now she was working for those who could still be reached.

The Dead Followed Me Home is the remarkable account of one woman’s journey through crime, trauma and survival, and the purpose she found in turning from the dead to the living.

They survived Gallipoli, Pozières, Bullecourt and Passchendaele. Then, as they slept in a quiet village on the Somme, two German shells found them.

In the early hours of 31 May 1918, high-velocity shells struck two barns sheltering Australian soldiers at Allonville, behind the Western Front. The buildings collapsed onto the sleeping men of the 14th Battalion and exploded among the troops nearby. Ninety-two Australians were killed or wounded. Thirty-two died that night or from their injuries in the days that followed.

Official historian Charles Bean described the first strike as ‘the most costly shell burst in the history of the A.I.F.’ The battalion’s padre, Frank Rolland, recorded simply that it had been ‘the most terrible night’.

Yet the Allonville Disaster has remained little more than a footnote in Australia’s Great War history. Even Bean’s casualty figures were wrong. The men themselves became names on lists: killed, wounded, returned to duty or sent home.

In this remarkable work of historical reconstruction, acclaimed military historian Peter Stanley restores those men to the record. Drawing on Australian Imperial Force service files, unit records, Red Cross enquiries, hospital and Repatriation files, family papers and the memories of descendants, he traces who they were, how they came to be at Allonville and what happened when the shells struck.

Many had enlisted in 1914 and already survived years of combat. Some returned to the battalion. Others came home maimed, traumatised or permanently changed, carrying the effects of that night through marriages, working lives and old age.

The Most Terrible Night is both the definitive account of a little-known Australian wartime disaster and a powerful exploration of war’s long aftermath: not only how soldiers died, but how the wounded lived.

‘… an impressive feat of historical detective work.’
— Ian Hodges, author of He Belonged to Wagga

‘… yet another triumph for Australia’s foremost military historian.’
— Bruce Scates, author, Return to Gallipoli, A Place to Remember and World War One in 100 Stories

]]> 13 02 Professor Peter Stanley is one of Australia’s foremost military and social historians. He is an Honorary Professor at UNSW Canberra and was formerly Research Professor at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Before joining UNSW, he was the inaugural head of the National Museum of Australia’s Centre for Historical Research and spent twenty-seven years at the Australian War Memorial, where he served as Principal Historian.

Peter has written more than fifty books, spanning Australian military history, the world wars, British India, social history and historical fiction. His acclaimed book Bad Characters: Sex, Crime, Mutiny, Murder and the Australian Imperial Force was joint winner of the 2011 Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History.

Struggling with his own loneliness, a grieving teen, KIT, discovers a defunct virtual pet system, finding the companionship he desperately seeks in TAMA. But when mysterious and gruesome tragedies begin to pile up around him, the boy wonders if his digital furry friend could somehow be the “virtual” common denominator. How far are both the kid and creature willing to go to seek attention, and how many will be hurt by this deadly beast that can somehow interact with the real world?

T.A.M.A. mixes the nostalgia of virtual pets with the generational phenomenon of Pokémon in this character-centered horror romp guaranteed to make you wanna kill ‘em all!

At a deadly magical academy where failure means death, a girl cursed with forbidden power must survive deadly trials, ruthless hunts, and an addictive attraction to the one man she shouldn't trust. This sequel to USA Today bestselling Wicked Onyx is packed with found family, slow-burn romance, and heart-stopping, high-stakes twists.

**DELUXE LIMITED EDITION FIRST PRINT RUN featuring sprayed edges and inside cover design. Special edition features only available for a limited time and while supplies last.**

Nightsbridge Academy has a dark soul–and he knows my name.

With a fragment of my stolen power restored, I should feel whole…alive. Instead, my magic has evolved into something dangerous and entirely unwanted. But the truth is impossible to ignore.

I am no ordinary sorcerer. I am a Veil Walker.

If I want to get my hands on the Libra Veritas, I can’t afford any distractions–especially not the spirit world clawing at me. That’s easier said than done when I’m fast-tracked into advanced classes, dragged onto active hunt duty, and placed under the supervision of the last man I could ever trust–Sterling Damascus.

Horrors are evolving. Students are disappearing. And revenge has a flavor I can almost taste.

Between brutal hunts and a tincture designed to reveal a monster’s truest self, I’m learning that power always comes with consequences. So does desire. So does loyalty.

At Nightsbridge, love can get you killed, magic never forgets, and surviving is only the beginning.

Class is back in session–and this time, the dark is hunting back.]]> 13 02 USA Today Bestselling Author of Paranormal and Fantasy Novels. She writes under the pen name Debbie Cassidy.

Widowed at 31 with a toddler and a career in full motion, Carmon-Johnson discovered that the principles she had spent years teaching athletes, resilience, accountability, showing up for your team, were the exact blueprint she needed to rebuild her own life. Part memoir, part leadership guide, The Ultimate Teammate pairs raw, honest storytelling with practical takeaways that meet you wherever you are. Each chapter asks the same question in a different way: What does it look like to be the ultimate teammate in your own life? Because the skills that win championships are the same ones that carry you through loss, rebuild your confidence, and help you show up fully for the people who need you most.

Sold into slavery, Julian has known nothing but pain. All that changes when he experiences kindness for the first time. But fate has plans for Julian when an ancient god bestows extraordinary powers upon him that he uses to protect his charge, the baby Diana.

Often described as the greatest movie on slavery ever made, more than a decade on, it feels more potent than ever. Based on the real-life memoir 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northrup, director Steve McQueen knew he found his inspiration as soon as he read the book. As the film tells it, in the years before the Civil War, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. Subjected to the cruelty of one malevolent owner (Michael Fassbender), he also finds unexpected kindness from another (Benedict Cumberbatch), as he struggles continually to survive and maintain some of his dignity. Then in the 12th year of the disheartening ordeal, a chance meeting with an abolitionist from Canada (Brad Pitt) changes Solomon's life forever. The film also stars Lupita Nyong’o in her first acting role, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

A FILM OF FIRSTS: 12 Years a Slave became the first film directed and produced by a Black filmmaker (Steve McQueen) and also the first written by a Black screenwriter (John Ridley) to win Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Lupita Nyong’o is the first Kenyan and Mexican actor to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: With access to New Regency’s and River Road’s archives, our script book will contain the final shooting script, beautiful film stills, and commentary on key scenes, making this the ideal collectors’ item for both Steve McQueen fans and cinema enthusiasts.

Maddy faces danger on all sides as she struggles to protect her secret and to avoid being consumed by Kain’s fire in the second book in a Viking fae romantasy trilogy.

Maddy used to feel certain about what would end her life. Now so many threats surround her, she can’t even begin to guess. And possibly the most dangerous of them all? Kain.

Every day that Maddy spends at Featherblade, more secrets are revealed, and it’s only a matter of time before her own joins them. Once Kain has what he wants from her…Maddy fears it won’t only be those who wronged him who will feel his wrath.

She must be strong. She must earn her wings. She must resist the promise in his flaming eyes. She must not fall for the villain of Featherblade.]]> 13 02 44 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/b3cee28f-cbd2-4eee-a062-b42800244195 01 Scarlett Press SIMN619 Scarlett Press 01 01 Scarlett Press SIMN619 Scarlett Press 02 20270216 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.76 in 03 19.304 mm 06 15 9798347116591 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20270118 20270216 48 02 24.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260913 02 28.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 28.99 0.00 20260913 Scarlett Press AU 01 20270216 9798347127047 02 03 9798347127047 13 2026943076 14 19798347127044 15 9798347127047 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Winnie-the-Pooh <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Friends of Winnie-the-Pooh</TitleText> <Subtitle>When We Were Very Young; Now We Are Six</Subtitle> 01 269828229 1 A01 A.

Wherever I am, there’s always Pooh,
There’s always Pooh and me.
“It isn’t much fun for one, but two
Can stick together,” says Pooh.

A. A. Milne wrote many poems for his only child, Christopher Robin, throughout his childhood. Each whimsical verse brings to life playful adventures, quiet afternoons in nature, the joys and pains of growing up, and more. When We Were Very Young was published before the Winnie-the-Pooh novels and shows Milne’s talent for creating peculiar yet lovable characters. Mr. Edward Bear, a rotund teddy bear who’s proud of his stature and served as the precursor for the well-known Bear of Little Brain, makes his debut in this book. Now We Are Six features appearances from Winnie-the-Pooh and other familiar friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Complete with the original black and white interior illustrations by Ernest Shepard, this beautiful edition is full of whimsy, humor, and imagination!

About the Publisher
Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.

• Introduces invisible string theory as a modern metaphysical framework rooted in ancient traditions and contemporary physics

• Explains how to recognize meaningful connections through signs, synchronicity, and intuition

• Offers tools and practices to identify and follow the unseen forces that guide personal growth, healing, and relationships

COULD YOU ALREADY BE LINKED to the people, places, and experiences in your life that are meant for you? According to invisible string theory, it’s entirely possible as the universe itself is stitched together with unseen energetic threads, all of which can subtly guide us toward our destined path.

Drawing on real-life examples of invisible string theory in action, Theresa Cheung shows how consciously participating with this interconnected field can benefit all areas of our life and bring a deep sense of connection, meaning, and purpose to us. We learn how to notice signs and synchronicities surrounding these invisible threads and, most importantly, understand exactly what they are trying to tell us. Metaphysical practices such as dreamwork and creating our soul thread’s map can help us recognize, trust, and cultivate these unseen pathways.

As we hone our intuition skills, we can begin to work intentionally with this network of strings, guiding us toward our soul mates, twin flames, kindred spirits, and healing as well as a greater sense of meaning in both this life and beyond. Accessible and inspiring, Invisible Strings offers practical tools for shaping a more connected and deeply fulfilling destiny.]]> 13 02 Sunday Times bestselling author in the fields of dreams and personal and spiritual growth.

Meant to Be?

There is a story as old as humanity itself, quietly carried through every age, retold in countless forms across generations. It is a story not bound by language, culture, or belief, yet it lives within and around all of us. It speaks of a vast, invisible force that connects all things from the inside out and the outside in. This unseen energy weaves invisible strings through our lives, often unnoticed by the eye but deeply felt by the heart.

Chances are, you’ve sensed it already. Perhaps it arrived as a powerful hunch, a sudden pull towards a new idea, or the quiet urge to step into unfamiliar territory. Maybe it was the magnetic feeling of meeting someone who felt instantly familiar, or a life-altering decision made in a moment of unexpected clarity. Or perhaps it was simply the comfort of arriving somewhere new and feeling like you had finally come home.

These moments rarely come with warning. They seem to appear out of nowhere and often vanish just as quickly, leaving behind the lingering question: Was that just coincidence? A lucky accident? A fleeting spark?

But what if none of these moments are accidental at all? What if they are not exceptions to the rule but glimpses of a deeper pattern at work? What if you are being quietly guided by a network of invisible strings that link you to the people, places, and revelations meant for your growth?

Even to this very book . . .

Why Are You Here?

Ask yourself, why now? Why this book, at this specific moment in your life? What inner prompting drew you to the title?

It may be that unseen strands have led you here, gently weaving your story into a wider tapestry. These threads do not announce themselves with thunder; they move in silence, shaping your path through people, places, insights, and timing, nudging you forward long before you realize what is happening. They’ve been drawing you in all along, whispering your name, guiding your steps until finally, you arrived right here. Right where you are meant to be.

The idea that everything is unfolding with purpose, that nothing is random, not even opening this book, might feel unsettling, especially if you are currently in a difficult or despairing place. But this discomfort could in fact be the invitation. Outside your comfort zone is the only place for your personal growth to accelerate and spiritual awakening to flourish—the necessary darkness and feeling of disorientation before the dawn.

The notion of invisible strings tugging and guiding your life is not just an abstract or poetic idea; it’s a way of understanding life that is supported by both science and spirituality. It offers a lens through which you can begin to see the hidden structure behind your life story so far. It proposes that everyone and everything—yes, everyone and everything—is part of a greater unseen web of energy and meaning, connecting your experiences in ways you may not yet understand.

Reflect for a moment now on the chain of events, emotions, or coincidences that brought you here. What if none of it was random? What if the very act of picking up this book is a sign that something larger is at play, quietly pointing you towards clarity and deeper purpose?

This is your official invitation: to step into the deeper design of your life, to recognize the subtle forces that have been present all along. The only question that matters in this present moment is: Will you accept it?

I sincerely hope that you will accept this sacred invitation and, as you read or listen along, you’ll stay open to the possibility that this moment is not only meaningful, but transformative.

And now, without further ado, welcome, fellow traveller, to the wise, wild, and wonderful world of invisible strings. Welcome to a new way of being.

A Gentle Warning

Once you allow the idea to take root that unseen threads may be shaping every aspect of your life, let me offer a gentle warning. There is no going back.

The veil between what is seen and what is not seen lifts. Randomness begins to shimmer with meaning. Life starts to reveal itself as something far more intricate than you once imagined. The subtle pull of connections within, and around, you become more apparent. You notice more and more moments vibrating with deeper purpose. You begin to see your life through new eyes, where each experience, each choice, each meeting is part of something infinitely wise and greater.

If you are not ready for this kind of inner shift—if you feel unsure about embracing the possibility of a hidden design constantly shaping your journey—then perhaps it is best to pause and return when the time feels right. But if you still feel the pull to continue, then know this: The way you perceive your world is about to change forever.

As your awareness grows, so too will the visibility of these unseen connections. What once seemed silent will begin to speak, and the more you lean into this awareness, the more you will see life reflecting meaning back to you.

The cosmic web will reveal its design, and you will move through your life with greater trust, knowing that no step you make is ever truly taken alone. The instant you allow yourself to believe that something greater is working both in and through you, your life will begin to unfold with wonder and the sense that you are always being held, no matter what. It’s intoxicating!

The Promise of This Book

Have you ever had a moment so perfectly timed that it felt destined? A conversation, an encounter, or a sudden decision that felt orchestrated by something beyond your conscious planning, as if the Universe, in all its wisdom, had somehow aligned itself just for you?

If you have not experienced such a moment, isn’t it about time you did? It is what living a deeply fulfilling life is all about.

The truth this book proposes is simple but revolutionary: Magical moments are not exceptions or rare or for the chosen few; they can become your everyday experience. Life does not have to feel random or disconnected. The people who arrive when you need them most, the signs that seem too perfect to be chance, the clarity that dawns when you least expect it—these are not flukes; they are threads.

This idea is not just spiritual optimism; it is grounded in both realworld stories and supported by scientific principles. Even within theoretical physics, the concept of String Theory posits that everything in the universe is made of tiny, vibrating strands—subtle, invisible energy that binds together all matter. It is a scientific metaphor that echoes the same ultimate life hack this book boldly explores and endorses: Everything is connected.

Once you understand how connecting threads can show up in your life and how to feel, trust, and follow them, your perception shifts. Moreover, from there, this book will not leave you trapped in your head. It will show you how you can move the notion of invisible guidance from concept to lived experience, and into every aspect of your life, from thought into action, from dream into reality.

A Tale as Old as Time

While Invisible String Theory may sound like a modern trend, it is important to understand from the onset that it has ancient roots. The idea that everything meaningful is connected by unseen energy has existed in cultures, religions, and philosophies for centuries. It is a tale as old as time, and this book will explore some of those ancient spiritual roots to provide context.

For now, let’s briefly turn the spotlight on great literature, movies, and music, as they have long reflected this truth and played a key role in disseminating popular understanding of it.

One of the most stirring fictional examples comes from the immortal novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. The connection between Jane and Mr. Rochester feels inevitable, as though their souls are tied by an invisible bond. Despite separation, time, and circumstance, their hearts remain drawn together. Jane speaks of this connection as a string between their hearts, a tether that endures, even across silence and distance.

More recently, popular culture has embraced these unseen forces. In the iconic movie series Star Wars, the Force is an energy that binds together everything in the universe. In music, Taylor Swift’s influential song “Invisible String” paints love as a series of events that, in retrospect, were perfectly timed, as though guided by something unseen but always present. Thanks in part to the song’s popularity, the idea of invisible strings has found new life as a popular tattoo slogan and on social media platforms like TikTok, where people share personal stories of synchronicity, soul mates, and past-life connections. These stories resonate because they offer hope that even in chaos, there is a hidden order at work.

The beloved children’s book The Invisible String by Patrice Karst has helped reintroduce this concept to the mainstream. Its message—the invisible string of love connects us across distance, even death—touches readers of all ages. It reminds us that some connections never break, even when we cannot see them.

The rising interest in invisible string experiences reflects a growing desire for meaning in a fragmented world. We long for reminders that we are not alone, and that the universe holds a pattern beyond the chaos.]]> 04 02 Preface: An Invisible Strings Parable

• Details how the first form of organized religious consciousness emerged from reverence for the Great Mother in the ancient Near East

• Brings to life the many forms of Ishtar, examining her connections to the Moon, sacred animals and nature, healing, death, sexuality, and magic

• Analyzes myths and rituals centered on the divine feminine from several ancient cultures, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece

Available for the first time in English, this classic Arabic study explores the influence of the Great Goddess on religion and civilization. Renowned Syrian scholar Firas Sawah details how religious consciousness emerged from reverence for the Great Mother in ancient Mesopotamia in the form of Ishtar—the goddess of fertility, love, war, and cosmic renewal.

Ishtar has taken many forms through the development of human culture, and the author examines her connections to the Moon, sacred animals and nature, healing, death, sexuality, and magic. Through a comprehensive look at myth, ancient poetry, and art, Sawah shows how symbols and practices associated with the Great Mother spread across cultures. He then analyzes the mythic narratives and rituals centered on sacred marriage and the descent into the underworld.

Sawah explores how the myths of Ishtar and Tammuz, Isis and Osiris, and Astarte and Adonis demonstrate a sacred partnership in which the Great Mother was complemented by her consort. As patriarchal systems emerged over time, male gods gained prominence, yet the matriarchal roots endured, shaping the cultural traditions of the emergent patriarchy. This examination of Ishtar reveals the ongoing relevance of the divine feminine and the unity of humanity’s spiritual heritage.]]> 13 02

Civilization and the First Myth

Since humanity emerged from the animal kingdom, it has been locked in a continuous struggle with environmental forces to establish itself as a distinct species, shaping its own history. This stands in contrast to other species left behind, bound to the mechanisms of nature and devoid of historical agency.

Our modern civilization is the culmination of hundreds of thousands of years of effort and ingenuity. Yet, a question has persistently challenged the human mind: When did our civilization truly begin, and what critical factors led to its emergence? Only in the last three decades, thanks to advances in modern archaeological research, have we begun to uncover answers.

Where did this civilization originate? How did it spread across the globe? Did it emerge from a singular cradle, radiating outward to the periphery, or did multiple centers of development arise independently, converging over time into a shared global heritage?

We can identify four major transformations that define human history, each representing a profound upheaval that reshaped every aspect of life and decisively influenced the trajectory and character of civilization in its many forms.

The first of these transformations occurred during the early Upper Pleistocene, spanning from approximately 100,000 BCE to 10,000 BCE. Evidence from this period indicates that humans began to perceive their separation from the animal world, recognizing their unique potential to engage with, adapt to, and systematically exploit their natural environment for their benefit. This era witnessed the development of the Paleolithic culture, which is further divided into three subperiods: the Lower, Middle, and Upper Paleolithic. Each subperiod reflects significant advancements in human organization, adaptation, and tool use.

The second transformation unfolded during the ninth and early eighth millennia BCE, driven by three pivotal developments:

1. The stabilization of human communities through the establishment of permanent settlements.

2. The discovery of agriculture and the advent of organized food production.

3. The domestication of animals for labor and sustenance.

This transformative period marked a profound shift in human society, providing the first decisive impetus for the rise of civilization. It signaled humanity’s emergence from its primal connection to nature and its move toward mastery over the environment. No longer confined to caves or reliant solely on foraging, humans began constructing the first permanent villages on open plains, transitioning from a nomadic existence to a settled way of life.

By cultivating grains initially gathered from wild fields and domesticating animals to harness their resources, humanity set the foundation for societal advancement. This monumental change, known as the Neolithic Revolution, ushered in the Neolithic era, which spanned from approximately 8500 BCE to 4500 BCE. This era culminated in the rise of the earliest cities, marking a new chapter in human history.

The third major transformation took place with the emergence of the first cities in the Lower Mesopotamian Valley. These cities introduced advanced civil, political, and religious organizations, marking a profound shift in human society. This period, known as the Urban Revolution, signified the beginning of an era of organized urban life, a paradigm that continues to shape the world we live in today.

The fourth transformation, the most recent and historically proximate, is the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This revolution profoundly altered methods of production, reshaping economies, societies, and the course of human development.1

However, I believe we are now experiencing yet another revolutionary transformation: the Information Revolution. This ongoing shift is redefining how we process, share, and utilize knowledge, with implications as transformative as those of its industrial predecessor.

The Neolithic Revolution, marked by settlement, the discovery of agriculture, and the domestication of animals, represents the true dawn of human civilization. This transformation laid the foundation for organized human life, while the subsequent Urban Revolution provided civilization with its first structured framework—a framework that still underpins modern societies today.

Though all civilizations, whether thriving or extinct, have undergone these two pivotal revolutions at some stage in their history, modern archaeological evidence identifies the ancient Near East as the region where both the Neolithic and Urban Revolutions first emerged independently. Remarkably, this area achieved these milestones without external influences, establishing it as the prototype for similar transformations that would later occur in other parts of the world.2

The Urban Revolution, marked by the rise of the first cities, began in Sumer, located in Mesopotamia. From this cradle of urban life, the revolutionary concept of city-building spread southward to Egypt and eastward to India.3

In contrast, the earliest signs of the Neolithic Revolution, the true foundation of civilization, emerged in Syria. Ongoing archaeological excavations have revealed that the first permanent human settlements and villages on open plains were established in southern Syria, specifically in the region encompassing Palestine and the Jordan Valley, during the tenth and ninth millennia BCE. These findings underscore the pivotal role of this region in the initial stages of human societal development.4

The earliest agricultural experiments were conducted in the interior regions of Syria, along a strip stretching from southern Aleppo to the Sinai Desert. Archaeological evidence suggests that two primary sites played a pioneering role in this transformative development:

1. Tell Mureybet, located in the north on the banks of the Euphrates.

2. Jericho, situated in the south within the Jordan Valley.

These groundbreaking agricultural activities occurred around the ninth millennium and the early eighth millennium BCE, marking a significant step in humanity’s transition toward settled life and organized food production.5 Over the following two millennia, agriculture expanded outward from its initial centers, spreading in all directions. By the sixth millennium BCE, the Neolithic Revolution had fully matured, transforming societies across the ancient Near East. From there, its influence extended farther, reaching Asia and southern Europe, where it laid the foundation for the development of complex civilizations.6

Thus, archaeology supports the theory of a singular center of civilization, from which the spread of civilization originated, countering the theory of parallel evolution. The Fertile Crescent is identified as the birthplace of this transformative center. It was in the western arc of the Crescent that settlement and agriculture first took root, while the eastern arc saw the emergence of the first city, which became the nucleus of modern civilization. In the following sections, we will explore this major transformation in detail, given its crucial significance to the subject of this book.

The period between the tenth and sixth millennia BCE was a pivotal phase in human history, during which transformative changes transitioned humanity from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of settlement, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Current archaeological evidence strongly suggests that these foundational shifts, which laid the groundwork for our civilization, occurred first in the Near East before spreading to other regions of the world.7 The starting point of these transformations can be traced to a group of hunter-gatherers who gradually moved away from their cave dwellings, forming small, semi settled village units. These units began to take on a more permanent form at the beginning of the ninth millennium BCE in the region of Palestine and the Jordan Valley. The first villages with a solid urban structure emerged during the Natufian civilization, where the initial stable settlements began to develop even before clear evidence of food production had been established. This marks the beginning of a significant shift toward settled life and the foundation of future agricultural societies.8

The economy of these early settlements built upon the foundations of the Paleolithic economy, but with a growing reliance on wild wheat, which thrived due to the favorable climatic conditions of the region. In their early form, these settlements were temporarily established near the wild wheat fields, functioning as central “mother settlements” supported by smaller satellite camps located nearby. The men of the group would stay in these camps during their foraging expeditions for food, only to return periodically to the main settlement. Over time, the settlements would relocate in search of richer wheat fields and more abundant hunting grounds, reflecting the dynamic and transitional nature of their early agricultural practices.9

The Natufian civilization, named after the Wadi Natuf,* where its first sites were discovered, was further explored through archaeological excavations, which uncovered a total of thirteen significant sites. These were located in a narrow strip that stretched about fifty miles along the Mediterranean coastline, from the latitude of Beirut to the latitude of Cairo—specifically, from south of Damascus in the north to the edge of the Negev desert toward Sinai. This region, densely populated by the standards of its time, housed settlements that were far more numerous and larger than earlier Paleolithic sites, which typically supported only around twenty-five individuals.

In these villages, architecture emerged for the first time. Houses were constructed with foundations, stable walls, and paved floors, and some villages contained as many as fifty houses. While agriculture had not yet been discovered, the extensive use of wild wheat and other grains likely paved the way for the eventual development of farming. Tools used for processing grains, such as flint sickles and grinding stones, have been found at Natufian sites. However, no evidence has been found to suggest that this civilization had yet developed agricultural techniques or the organized domestication of animals.

By the ninth millennium BCE, the Natufian settlements had evolved into permanent villages, some of which were inhabited for several hundred years, marking a significant step toward the settled agricultural societies that would follow.10]]> 04 02

• Combines the meditative, energetic foundations of Thai massage with the anatomical precision and palpation methods of osteopathy

• Provides clear treatment principles, including breathwork, treatment sequencing, and dynamic touch strategies

• Guides practitioners in refining touch, developing body awareness, and ethical presence in practice

From two traditions, David Lutt and Jörg Schürpf have created a potent healing modality called Osteothai. They draw on the Buddhist foundations of the ancient practice of Thai massage, or Nuad Boran, which views massage as a meditation in movement. From osteopathy, they incorporate craniosacral and fascial system techniques, visceral work, and an emphasis on listening through the hands to the tissues’ subtle rhythms.

With their decades of training and clinical experience, the authors present their original, integrated therapy system, designed to support vitality and mobility and help restore health. Their practice of touch engages the therapist’s full body in grounded, fluid, and multidimensional contact with the client.

In this book Lutt and Schürpf provide methods for developing presence, attention, and intention while guiding readers to refine palpation skills and address dysfunction by activating the body’s vital force. Exploring the anatomical, embryological, energetic, and emotional dimensions of touch, they offer practical approaches for supporting homeostasis and the body’s self-regulating capacities.

Uniting the art of osteopathic listening with the meditative awareness of Thai massage, Thai Massage and Osteopathy presents a grounded and adaptable therapeutic practice based on mindful touch.]]> 13 02

Taking Charge of Our Health

We are passionate about health. It is the departure point for our approach and, therefore, for this book. It is central to our lives every day and at all times. It is our most precious asset on Earth and affects each and every one of us. But what is our relationship with our health? Approaches differ. Some have understood that this asset given to us at birth expects only one thing: that we take an interest in it and that we take health into our own hands. Some people are active, responsible stakeholders in this process. By avoiding chemistry as much as possible, they are moving closer to nature, its rhythms and benefits, by observing simple and sound rules of life. Initially, health depends on the quality of a few ingredients: sleep, food, and air. All we need to do is add a minimum of movement and emotional management to build a solid foundation. Others, however, let themselves be led by the hand. In a way, they have outsourced their health, leaving it to their doctor to look after and decide for them.

They are being managed by a medical system in which science dictates the agenda. To be in good health, all you have to do is fit into the norm of mathematical variables and respond to the injunctions of a system that listens very little to the patients’ needs and no longer uses touch to explore the origin of their suffering.

Of course, many people waver between these two extremes. Nevertheless, we realize that the relationship we have with our health is first and foremost a question of positioning, choice, and responsibility.

But how do we define health?

Isn’t it the dynamic balance that enables us to adapt and evolve? Let’s take a look at our body’s relationship with various expressions of life to help us navigate and make responsible choices.

HEALTH, HOMEOSTASIS, AND RESOURCES

We are human beings before we are osteopaths or massage therapists. We are designed to move, feed, rest, relate, reproduce, and perhaps for some of us, evolve on a spiritual journey! As long as we are healthy, everything is fine. The body is silent and we are not even aware of it. As French philosopher and poet Paul Valéry used to say, “Health is the silence of the organs!” On the other hand, when the body manifests itself in pain, imbalance, or illness, we realize how important it is to be in good health. So, how do we define health?

The World Health Organization (WHO) website defines “health” as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” In practice, as we saw during the COVID crisis, the WHO and governments around the world are not as concerned with health as they are with disease. Between Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard, medicine has chosen sides. It favors killing germs rather than strengthening the foundations. Whatever the case, the scene is set. The official rhetoric about well-being conceals an extremely powerful pharmaceutical lobby coupled with a capitalist system based on notions of growth and profit. The pharmaceutical industry needs to sell medicines in order to exist and grow.

Unlike conventional medicine, osteopathy and traditional Thai massage work with the body’s vital energies to activate its self-healing potential and restore homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s ability to constantly adapt to the changes inside and around us. Health is the ability to dynamically maintain the best possible balance between internal and external environments.

For example, regulating our temperature or blood sugar levels is just as important as our emotional reactions to our social environment. Similarly, does our belief system leave room for open-mindedness, dialogue, and evolution? Or do we remain rigid and locked in our vision of what the truth is?

We believe that health is directly related to the adaptability of our various bodies: physical, energetic, and spiritual. As long as our bodies adapt and self-regulate, we have no reason to fall ill. In fact, we tend to think of illness, dysfunction, and pain as expressions of imbalances between our body, soul, and spirit. These symptoms are an invitation to slow down, take time, tune in, and transform. Let’s not forget that illness is also an integral part of the path to health. It can and should enable us to transform and evolve, both physically and mentally. Isn’t this clearly visible in children?

In this respect, approaching and touching a body in search of dysfunction or a problem, focusing on pain or on a diagnosis to reveal a pathology, is meaningless to us. We define ourselves as health practitioners. Respecting the Eastern philosophy of care traditions and the osteopathic idea advocated by Andrew Taylor Still, we seek the expression of Life in the body. Where is the resource? How can health be expressed? Where are the light and spark of Life? Our task is to strengthen the resource and then spread this potential throughout the body. We work with the health inherent in every being, with Life. And then, as French humorist Francis Blanche so wittily put it, “When you are healthy, being ill doesn’t matter!”

ADAPTABILITY AND RHYTHMS

Rhythm is one of the fundamental properties of life. It is all around us, and rhythm enables us to evolve. When One divides, Two appears and with it, rhythm, creating the polarities of life that surround us: rest and movement, expansion and retraction, relaxation and tension. The Universe and nature are governed by these alternating movements: the rhythms of the solar system, the Earth, seasons, day and night, the oscillating vibrations of sound and light. Man is an integral part of this great cosmic clock, even its replica. Our heartbeats, breathing rhythms, peristalsis, menstrual cycles, and the life and death of our cells constantly drive us. We are building ourselves around these rhythms, and we offer thanks to these cycles.

The word “rhythm” comes from the Greek verb rhein, meaning “to flow.” As Heraclitus said, “Panta rhei” or everything flows! Rhythm is etymologically linked to the movement of the element Water. When water is in excess, we are rheumy or have diarrhea. When Water stagnates, we move more slowly, hindered by rheumatism.

In osteopathy, A. T. Still was already talking about the importance of fluid circulation in his 1899 book, Philosophy of Osteopathy, writing, “The law of the artery is supreme.” Wherever arterial blood could circulate freely, the tissue was nourished and could continue to regulate itself. In Eastern traditions, energy circulates along the meridians. But aren’t they the same thing? When the circulation of fluids for some, and energy for others, flows freely without hindrance, the body has the capacity to adapt to its environment. More generally, respecting the rhythms that surround us helps us express our full potential of health. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on this relationship between us and the rhythms of nature, this polarity of Yin toward Yang and vice versa. In the Indian Vedic scriptures, Hatha yoga is about harmonizing the energies of sun and moon, masculine and feminine.

Nowadays, we travel to tropical countries in winter, a season of rejuvenation and rest. We take our holidays in summer, the season when we should be most active. We often eat fruit and vegetables that are neither local nor seasonal. We go back to school in the autumn, just as our bodies begin to withdraw into themselves for the winter rest period. There is no shortage of examples to show how disconnected we are from the laws of nature. Taking charge of our health means reconnecting with these rhythms.

As practitioners, this means that we cannot approach human beings without considering the environment they live in, their relationship with nature, and their respect for the polarities of life that drive them. Their capacity to adapt will depend on their ability to listen to themselves and perceive their own needs. Do they take breaks from activities? Do they live the same way in winter as in summer? Do they eat what nature provides? Do they know how to rest and recharge their batteries? How healthy is their lifestyle? What resources do they have?

Rhythm is the child of time. The world evolves by speeding up. We also need to be able to speed up for blood and energy circulation to adapt automatically. At the same time, in order to respond to the polarities of these rhythms that govern us, our body-soul-spirit unit needs to develop the same capacity for deceleration. If not, we risk burning our wings! Burnout did not exist a few decades ago.]]> 04 02 FOREWORD by François Laurent, DO

• Reveals how seven archangels govern our relationship challenges, including attracting new love, healing heartbreak, and protecting fidelity

• Gives rituals, Feng Shui practices, and chakra activation techniques to deepen intimacy and manifest a lasting romantic connection

• Explores zodiac compatibility across all twelve signs, showing how elemental energies and planetary influences shape relational patterns and sexual chemistry

Julián Vallejo presents a comprehensive approach to love that integrates angelic guidance, astrological wisdom, and sacred sexuality practices. Vallejo introduces seven archangels as spiritual allies for navigating different phases of romantic life. Each archangel corresponds to a specific chakra and offers targeted support for emotional and relational challenges.

The author examines compatibility patterns across all zodiac pairings, revealing how fire, earth, air, and water elements influence fidelity, communication styles, and intimate expression. Vallejo challenges the myth of a singular soulmate by explaining how natal charts indicate three potential perfect matches corresponding to different houses of love. He identifies which signs prove most reliable for long-term commitment and which tend toward restlessness or infidelity.

Vallejo provides practical tools for transforming intimate spaces and experiences. He explains how to apply Feng Shui principles using the Bagua map to activate nine sectors of the home, each governed by a specific archangel. The author details rituals for each archangel, including specific days, candle colors, crystals, and prayers to invoke divine assistance. He presents a step-by-step guide to sacred sexuality that awakens kundalini energy through chakra activation and tantric postures.

By synthesizing Hindu tantric wisdom, Buddhist philosophy, and Abrahamic angelology, Archangels and Love provides metaphysical insight and actionable guidance for cultivating healthier relationships supported by divine presence.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/d2362850-df5c-4622-bf65-b4130025d27c 01 Destiny Books SIMO347 Destiny Books 01 01 Destiny Books SIMO347 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 0.401 lb 08 6.416 oz 08 181.89 gr 27 15 9798888505489 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261130 20270202 02 26.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 26.99 0.00 20260913 02 29.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 29.99 0.00 20260913 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company AU 01 20270202 9798888506318 02 03 9798888506318 14 19798888506315 15 9798888506318 11 PD Cards <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Hidden Arcana Tarot</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Hidden Arcana Tarot</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle>An 86-Card Deck and Booklet</Subtitle> 01 238159404 1 A01 Liane Buck Buck, Liane Liane Buck 2 A01 Christopher Buck Buck, Christopher Christopher Buck 01 eng 128 00 128 03 OCC005000 VXFC1 2.1 10 OCC036050 10 OCC012000 20 HIDDEN ARCANA TAROT GUIDE;86-CARD TAROT DECK;EXPANDED MAJOR AND MINOR ARCANA;TAROT WITH ANCIENT SYMBOLISM;ADEPTUS AND SPIRITRIX CARDS;TAROT READING TECHNIQUES;CASTLE CARDS AND ELEMENTAL FORCES;SACRED FEMININE IN TAROT;MYTHIC TAROT INTERPRETATIONS;ARCHETYPAL TAROT JOURNEYS;MICROCOSMIC AND MACROCOSMIC MEANINGS;TAROT FOR SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION;TAROT AND UNIVERSAL RHYTHMS;MOTHER GODDESS TAROT INFLUENCE;INTUITIVE TAROT PRACTICES 93 VXF 93 VXWS 93 QRY 93 VXW 93 QRVK2 01 01 01 02 Refining Tarot guidance by acknowledging the influence of reader, setting, and environment

More than a divination tool, this stunning deck and guidebook illuminate the deep connections between the Tarot, the universe’s rhythms, and the human psyche. The Hidden Arcana Tarot reveals eight long-lost Arcana cards with mythic resonance to powerfully guide the interpretation of the traditional Major and Minor Arcana.

The deck contains 78 traditional Tarot cards and 8 Hidden Arcana cards. The newly rediscovered Arcana include the Adeptus, who represents the consultee on their journey; the Spiritrix, who determines how the reader may be affecting the reading; and the Almuten Figuris, the guide and protector on the path. The five castle cards show the elemental, archetypal forces at play. Infused with ancient symbolism and mythic imagery, these beautifully illustrated cards offer fresh perspectives on life’s journey, meaning, and future twists and turns—and on Tarot reading itself.

In the guidebook, studied and intuitive Tarot reader Liane Buck details the meaning of each card with key words and presents several spreads for new readings, including the Pilgrimage of the Soul and Thread of Destiny. The Hidden Arcana Tarot is an invitation to dive deep into your own soul and find your place in the universe’s intricate tapestry.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/095574bd-26a9-4cfb-be76-b4130025dc3b 01 Findhorn Press SIMO562 Findhorn Press 01 01 Findhorn Press SIMO562 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company 02 20270202 01 AU NZ 01 6 in 01 152.4 mm 02 3.88 in 02 98.552 mm Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261102 20270202 02 32.99 AUD AU S 10.00 29.99 3.00 20260913 02 34.99 NZD NZ S 15.00 30.43 4.56 20260913 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company AU 01 20270202 9798888760314 02 03 9798888760314 14 19798888760311 15 9798888760314 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Love Stories About Death</TitleText> 01 272427702 1 A01 Dirk Manning Manning, Dirk Dirk Manning Dirk Manning is the four-time Ringo Award nominated writer/creator of comic series such as the supernatural noir TALES OF MR.

Readers will learn how to:

Build resilience through their toughest professional moments
Show up authentically without sacrificing credibility
Recognize that unconventional paths often lead to the greatest success

Most mergers and acquisitions begin with confidence: the numbers work, the strategy makes sense. And yet, months later, momentum stalls, key people leave, and the value everyone expected feels harder to reach.

In Step Forward: Leading the M&A Moments That Matter, Mary Cianni draws on thirty years of experience guiding executives through complex transactions to examine what often determines whether a deal fulfills its promise. Rarely dramatic, the turning points most often appear in how leaders handle uncertainty, how cultures read one another, and how meaning shifts during change.

Through stories from her consulting work and her life in a small Italian village, Cianni offers practical insight into the human side of M&A.

You will learn how to:

Recognize early signals that shape integration
Steady teams during uncertainty
Address cultural friction before it deepens
Sustain focus long after the announcement

For executives, integration leaders, and board members, Step Forward offers a clearer way to guide a deal from the beginning of the decision through to the announcement and lasting impact.]]> 13 02 MARY CIANNI has spent more than thirty years advising executives through mergers, acquisitions, and large-scale organizational change.

Acknowledgments
References]]> 08 02 Step Forward is one of those M&A books that tells you what the spreadsheets and diligence checklists don’t—the social or people issues of a deal that really make or break it. Cianni brings real-world experience and practical insight you can use at every stage. If you’re a CEO who wants to get the full value out of a deal, this is a smart, straightforward read."

"Step Forward is an insightful and strategic road map for avoiding the many pitfalls raised in M&A, covering not only the financial and operational issues in deals but diving deep on the most critical human issues that enable and support deal success. This should be required reading for anyone embarking on their first deal. I wish I had it thirty years ago when I started working on deals."
— Perry C. Papantonis
Senior Managing Director and Global M&A Leader, WTW

"Step Forward is a standout contribution to the M&A leadership space. Dr. Mary Cianni captures what most deal playbooks miss: the human and cultural realities that ultimately determine whether value is created or destroyed. This book is both engaging and highly usable, offering leaders a clear way to think, communicate, and lead through the M&A moments that matter most. I strongly recommend it for executives, integration leaders, HR partners, and anyone else supporting complex transactions."
— Klint C. Kendrick, PhD, SPHR
Fortune 500 HR M&A executive; Host, Master Your Merger podcast

"Having had the good fortune to work closely with Mary as a senior leader on some large, complex global mergers, I benefited greatly from her thoughtful insight and practical ideas. Now, with this book, a wider audience of leaders will be able to tap into her wisdom, enjoying charming anecdotes from her professional and personal life, with helpful how-to examples along the way. A must-read for current and aspiring leaders!"
— Anne Donovan Bodnar
Former CAO & CHRO, Willis Towers Watson

"Most M&A books tell leaders what to do. Step Forward tells them who to be—and in my experience advising on post-merger integrations across four continents, that’s the harder and more important question. Mary Cianni writes with the authority of someone who has sat in the rooms where deals quietly came apart and offers leaders a deeply human playbook for making sure theirs do not."
— Anirvan Sen
CEO, Fifth Chrome; Author, Buy-and-Build Operating System; Business and investor mentor

"With the eye of a psychologist and the heart of a storyteller, Mary Cianni gives leaders something the deal team rarely provides: permission to pause, ask the harder questions, and lead the people through the disruption deals inevitably bring. Her Reserved, Resilient, Relentless leader framework gives language and practical guidance for the many demands made of a leader throughout the deal journey. Her Italian story parallels help the lessons stick in a way no case study ever could. I've spent years telling clients that the promise of the deal is delivered by the people, not the spreadsheet. Mary has written the book I'll be recommending to every executive considering a merger or acquisition or walking into their fifteenth integration."

Founder & Chief Humanity Officer, Day1 Ready™; Author, Now What? A Survivor's Guide for Thriving Through Mergers & Acquisitions; Forbes Leadership Strategy contributor

"Mary Cianni brings a needed perspective to M&A, one that moves beyond strategy and into the lived experience of the leaders responsible for making it work. This is a grounded and insightful read that surfaces a reality many organizations overlook: leadership in these moments isn’t intuitive. It’s disorienting, high-pressure, and often unsupported. That’s where outcomes are determined."
— Ned Eustace
Executive Coach to growth and M&A leaders

"I found the stories in Mary Cianni’s book to be especially powerful. They are a clear reminder to look beyond what’s formally presented and focus on how a company truly operates day to day. In M&A, it’s easy to get lost in the data room and miss the subtle—but critical—ways companies work. This book offers a simple, memorable framework that keeps those realities front and center."
— Chris Greaney
Experienced CHRO and M&A executive

"Mary Cianni charts a road map for anyone considering or involved in a merger, acquisition, or divestiture. Drawing on her experiences and wisdom, Mary outlines how to step forward, deal with the pressures, and engage with the personalities who will make or break the deal."

Strategic plans fail every day. Leadership unveils ambitious visions that never translate into action. Organizations invest countless hours in planning exercises that produce shelf documents rather than competitive advantage.

Mind the Gap offers a different path. Drawing on thirty years advising global corporations, Skip York delivers a practical framework for executives who must make decisions with long-term consequences.

Readers will discover how to:

Distinguish strategic decisions from merely important ones
Define aspirations that guide organizational choices
Select where to play with discipline
Develop winning approaches in chosen markets
Build required capabilities
Create management systems that reinforce strategic direction.

Through case studies of organizations from Apple to General Electric, York demonstrates why the most powerful strategic choices involve saying “no” to attractive opportunities that don’t fit. His “three-legged stool” framework connects current assets, future aspirations, and the actions that bridge them.

Whether you lead a multinational corporation, a growing enterprise, or a non-profit institution, Mind the Gap equips you to make strategy a living force throughout your organization.]]> 13 02 SKIP YORK is a non-resident fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy and Chief Energy Strategist at Turner, Mason & Company.

Not for lack of intelligence, effort, or track record—but for blindspots the usual evaluations never catch.

In Seven Blindspots, Nathan Jenner draws on more than two decades as an enterprise operator, CEO assessor, and executive coach to identify seven recurring gaps that quietly derail leaders at the C-suite and CEO level. These gaps rarely surface in traditional interviews, resume reviews, or standard psychometrics. They emerge when leaders must set strategy, align teams, and guide an organization through uncertainty.

Combining firsthand operating experience with organizational psychology, Jenner shows how these patterns form, why past strengths become transition risks, and how to detect them before a succession decision is made. The result is a practical diagnostic framework for boards, CEOs, and talent leaders—built for the roles where the consequences matter most.]]> 13 02 NATHAN JENNER is an expert in executive assessment and leadership development who has assessed and developed thousands of senior leaders over a twenty-five-year career.

"Standard succession planning rotates executives through functions and assignments. That's valuable. Seven Blindspots fills what’s missing. It’s the overlay that sits on top of it—systematically identifying and developing the blindspots often missed as leaders elevate to run the enterprise."
— Steve Hasker
President & CEO, Thomson Reuters

"Seven Blindspots identifies patterns I sensed across my career but had never seen captured with such precision. It is clear-eyed about what truly separates leaders at the top and profoundly practical about how to close the gaps that too often remain invisible until the cost becomes unmistakable."
— Eric Veiel
President & Chief Investment Officer, T. Rowe Price

"I’ve watched talented executives rise on operational skill and then stall in their careers. Why? Because the job at the top is about strategy, politics, EQ, and leading people through change—not just managing operations. This book names that gap honestly, and it's built by someone who's been on the field, not just studying it."
— Bryan P. Powell
CEO, Westwood Professional Services

"After five decades in leadership positions, I came to believe nothing beats an engaged, energized, and aligned organization and that leaders who cannot build one eventually plateau no matter how strong their operating record. Seven Blindspots is a fresh and original perspective rather than a rehash of the leadership canon—it isolates the specific capabilities that separate executives who scale from those who stall, and importantly, treats those capabilities as developable. This is a must read for any board or CEO responsible for the next generation of leadership."
— Robert J. Maricich
Founder & Executive Chairman, ANDMORE

"The more senior the role, the harder it becomes to get honest feedback, to be challenged, or to be told what you most need to hear.

Everyone talks about the pace of modern leadership. Few talk about the cost. The meetings that accomplish nothing, the promotions that feel hollow, the creeping sense that busyness has replaced progress. Most leaders know something is off. They just haven’t slowed down long enough to name it.

In Dirt Road Leadership, Richard Causey draws on forty years of professional experience and a childhood spent on a South Carolina dirt road to make a case for patience, reflection, and presence as leadership essentials. Through vivid personal stories and hard-earned coaching insights, he reveals how the habits we build when no one is watching determine the leaders we become.

Readers will discover:

Why tunnel vision keeps talented people stuck at $50 an hour in their own imaginations
How distraction steals opportunity before you even notice it’s gone
The difference between motivation and discipline when results depend on showing up
What it takes to earn permission to lead, rather than assuming authority

It is chosen for them.

In today’s defined contribution plans, target date funds function as default investments, guiding trillions in savings through a pre-set retirement investing strategy. But these funds are not standardized. Behind identical labels lie meaningful differences in glidepath design, asset allocation, and fees—differences that can significantly alter outcomes.

The Retirement Black Box examines these hidden structures and their implications for fiduciary responsibility. Dr. Brian Leite explains how QDIA investments embed specific assumptions about markets, participant behavior, and risk—and how those assumptions play out over time.

The book provides a clear framework for retirement plan governance, helping fiduciaries evaluate 401k default investments with greater precision. It also addresses the realities of ERISA oversight, where investment committee decisions must be documented, justified, and defensible.

With a focus on retirement risk management and investment committee oversight, this book is designed for professionals who need more than surface-level understanding. It offers practical tools, real-world examples, and a disciplined approach to assessing target date funds in context.]]> 13 02 BRIAN LEITE, DBA, MBA, CFA, CFP®, CPFA, CEBS, is a finance professor, former financial services executive, and fiduciary governance advisor specializing in retirement plan oversight and default investment design.

President & Chief Revenue Officer, Wealthspire; Cofounder, President, and Managing Partner, Fiducient Advisors

"The Retirement Black Box shines an important light on the structural decisions inside target-date funds that many fiduciaries and investors rarely see. As an outsourced CIO working closely with financial advisors and retirement plans, I appreciate how clearly this book explains why glide paths, asset allocation, and fees can shape retirement outcomes over decades. Dr. Leite provides a thoughtful and practical framework that fiduciaries can use to better understand and oversee one of the most important investment decisions in the retirement system."
— Al Cumplido, CFA
Founder & Co-CIO, AMP Consulting Group

"Target-date funds have quietly become the default retirement vehicle for millions of Americans, yet most investors have only a vague sense of how they work. Dr. Leite’s new book changes that. With clarity and care, he strips away the jargon—glide paths, equity roll downs, to-versus-through construction—and replaces it with plain language and intuitive examples that finally make these products feel knowable. The Retirement Black Box is a rare finance book that respects the reader’s intelligence without demanding a CFA to follow along. Whether you are a plan fiduciary, a curious investor, or advising clients with decades of retirement savings at stake, you will close this book with a sharper understanding of what your target date fund is really doing on your behalf—and why it matters."
— Stephanie Pierce
Deputy Head, BNY Investments

"Dr. Brian Leite’s The Retirement Black Box addresses one of the most important challenges facing Americans today: how to save for and sustain income throughout retirement. As retirement horizons lengthen and economic conditions become more uncertain, the distinction between saving 'to' retirement and investing 'through' retirement has become increasingly important. This book is a timely and thoughtful wake-up call for plan fiduciaries and participants alike, highlighting the long-term implications of target-date fund design and the impact these decisions can have on retirement outcomes."

For decades, professional services firms grew the same way: hire more people, serve more clients, and accept the complexity that comes with scale.

Those assumptions are breaking.

In The AI-Native Boutique Firm, Greg Alexander and Co-Founder—his AI agent and coauthor—present a new operating model for founders who want to build more valuable firms in the age of artificial intelligence.

Through a collection of essays organized around the capabilities of an AI-native firm, this book shows how founders can redesign the way revenue is created, work is delivered, and enterprise value is built.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Increase output without proportional increases in headcount
Improve margins by redesigning cost to serve
Reduce founder dependency
Institutionalize intelligence and execution
Build a more valuable and transferable firm

Most firms will adopt AI tools, but a smaller number will become AI-native. This book is for the founders building those firms.]]> 13 02 GREG ALEXANDER is the creator of “The Three Eras of Professional Services” and founder of Collective 54, the premier community for founders of boutique professional services firms.

“Greg Alexander has written the book every boutique professional services founder needs right now. The AI-Native Boutique Firm is not another commentary on AI tools. It is a practical operating model for how firms must rethink leverage, delivery, leadership, and enterprise value when services increasingly become software. As someone who works every day with executives on cybersecurity, technology, risk, and transformation, I found Greg’s latest body of work both timely and deeply clarifying. He cuts through the noise and shows founders that the real opportunity is not simply to adopt AI, but to redesign the firm around it.

This book is here to prove them wrong.

We've all been there. Staring at a blank page waiting for inspiration to strike. Sitting in a meeting watching others churn out idea after idea while you sit back. Watching a good idea slowly die somewhere between inspiration and execution and not knowing how to save it.

What feels like a creative block is almost always a signal that something specific in the process has gone wrong — and once you can see what it is, you can fix it.

In How Ideas Work, Kyle Scheele reveals that every successful idea follows the same four-stage cycle — the IDEA Cycle — from the moment of first inspiration to the point of real-world impact.

Inspiration > Discovery > Evolution > Action

Most people stumble through this process accidentally. This book makes it intentional. Because the IDEA Cycle isn't dependent on talent or inspiration — it's a system, and systems can be learned.

How Ideas Work helps you pinpoint exactly where your creative process is stuck and gives you the tools you need to get unstuck. You'll learn to:

Stop waiting for inspiration and start gathering it strategically.
Generate breakthrough ideas on demand by discovering the connections that are hidden in plain sight .
Stop letting perfectionism kill your best work by learning which decisions you're overthinking and how to move forward.
Get your ideas out of your head and into the world by building momentum through small, practical steps instead of one terrifying leap.
Turn each finished project into fuel for the next one so your ideas compound over time instead of starting from scratch every time.

The world doesn't just need more ideas. It needs yours.]]> 13 02

Brought to you by The Small Bow — a growing community of drunks, depressives, addicts, and other chronic sufferers all trying to find some measure of emotional sobriety — The Small Book is a companion for living.

It gathers essays, interviews, and short reflections drawn from The Small Bow community — spare, funny, sometimes harrowing, with the dark humor that only comes from walking through fire. Some are about substances, some about relationships, some about loss, some about the quiet work of learning to live with yourself.

No matter how hard they try to avoid each other, they keep getting pulled back together. But Gabriel can't walk away from his internship without jeopardizing his film degree.

A native of Boston, Massachusetts, he graduated with distinction in 1992 from the United States Naval Academy with a BS in computer science and holds an MS in operations analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School.

A retired US Navy captain with over thirty years of service, McGunnigle commanded the USS New Hampshire (SSN 778) and Submarine Squadron FOUR. McGunnigle served in a series of senior leadership roles at the Undersea Warfighting Development Center (UWDC) in Groton, Connecticut, including chief of staff, director of the Tactical Analysis Group (TAG), and director for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In these roles, he led tactical development and validation efforts, managed real-world operational analysis, oversaw the Submarine Operations Research Group (SORG), and drove systems and capability innovation for the US Submarine Force.

As director for AI/ML at UWDC, he cofounded and led Project Harbinger, a multiagency artificial intelligence initiative executed in partnership with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security under Project Maven, NAVSEA, the Digital Warfare Office, and the Office of Naval Research. This effort applied machine learning to undersea acoustic data across a range of sensor types and platforms.

He has served as CEO or chairman of companies such as Central Garden & Pet, Mikasa, FGX International, and Woolrich. He currently serves on the boards of OrthoLite and Central Garden & Pet.

A former Cold War–era diesel submarine officer, Ranelli learned early that effective leadership depends on relationships. In Submarine Close, coauthored with Captain (Ret.) John McGunnigle, he shares a leadership philosophy forged under pressure beneath the ocean and refined in the boardroom. Their framework—Relationships Before Issues (rB4i™)—offers a timeless, proven approach for building high performance teams through deep relationships.

Ranelli is a Fulbright Scholar and graduate of Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. His leadership insights have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNN, and Bloomberg TV, among other outlets.

Today, he continues to mentor CEOs and executive teams while contributing to nonprofit and philanthropic efforts.

Submarine Close is a refined version of a timeless truth: When people feel they belong, when they trust those around them, and when they share a clear purpose, they push past limits and achieve the extraordinary. This is more than a leadership philosophy—it is a way of life. It speaks to what we have always needed as humans: to be seen, supported, and empowered to succeed together.

Throughout this book, Captain John McGunnigle and John Ranelli—both veterans of the US Navy’s Submarine Force and accomplished leaders in private business—share the stories and principles that make Submarine Close an unmatched approach to leadership and teamwork. You will see how relationships come before issues, how many conflicts can be resolved before they arise, and how empowering individuals at every level creates an unstoppable force committed to excellence. These principles—tested in the crucible of submarine service—forge bonds stronger than steel, relationships deeper than the ocean, and leadership more resilient than any crisis.

But, these lessons aren’t just for those who serve beneath the waves. They belong to anyone willing to lead with courage, act with integrity, and create a culture of trust and mission-driven performance.

McGunnigle and Ranelli’s hope is that Submarine Close inspires you to build your own relationships—where trust runs deeper than rank, where people matter more than process, and where everyone commits to something greater than themselves.]]> 13 02 John McGunnigle is the co-founder, executive chairman and chief technology officer of Spear AI, a national defense–focused artificial intelligence company.

There are truths about power, presence, and desire that most women are never taught, despite shaping a woman’s life far more than she realizes.

The Feminine Edge reveals the hidden dynamics behind these truths, along with the unconscious patterns and behaviors that influence your confidence, your relationships, your sense of power, and the life you are living. Once seen clearly, they can no longer shape your life in the same way. With that awareness, you begin to create a life more aligned with who you are and what you truly desire.

“Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”

A legion of young men answered President Kennedy’s 1961 exhortation by enlisting in the military, eager to do whatever their nation asked of them. Most had never heard of the small, turmoil-ridden country called South Vietnam that would change their lives forever.

Four years later as 1965 dawned on the rice paddies, mountains, and jungles of Southeast Asia, 23,300 Americans found themselves in this unfamiliar land as “advisors” to the South Vietnamese military. By the end of that year, their numbers had grown to over 184,000, with many more on the way. Their role in the conflict had also shifted, from advisors to direct combatants.

While the US military’s sheer presence in Vietnam had increased by a factor of nearly eight, the butcher’s bill increased by a factor of over thirty, with 545 Americans dying in the month of November alone compared to only eighteen just ten months before.

Women over fifty are told they are past their prime—invisible, frail, irrelevant. Blooming says the best chapter of their lives is after age fifty.

Drawing on interviews with more than 120 women ages forty to ninety-four, along with decades of research in psychology, sociology, and adult development, Dr. Dorothy Marcic demolishes the most persistent myths about aging women and replaces them with the truth: The years after fifty can bring unprecedented confidence, creativity, freedom, and joy.

Through vivid personal stories, scientific research, and practical exercises, Marcic guides readers through the full landscape of the Dame years. She explores overcoming age stereotypes, deepening self-awareness, finding new purpose, and navigating menopause and relationships, revealing that what others call “decline” is often the beginning of a vibrant stage.

With wisdom gathered from women around the world—artists, executives, professors, coaches, nurses, and activists—Blooming is both a celebration and a call to action. It invites women to stop taking on others’ limitations for them and start designing a life worthy of who they have become.

Complete with fortune cookie affirmations and reflective exercises throughout, this is the book for every woman ready to step into her authority—and claim her place as a Dame.]]> 13 02 RESPECT and SISTAS, which played nine years off Broadway.

In a fine Brooklyn brownstone in the mid–20th century, Ruth and her brothers are raised by their Eastern-European Jewish father, along with a spinster aunt and bachelor uncle. Her father, a widower and respected physician, is proud to have risen from Ellis Island newcomer to a prominent figure within his close-knit immigrant community.

But family tensions mount: Ruth’s younger brother rebels against everything their father represents, while her older brother is killed in action in World War II. Not long after, the sudden deaths of her father, aunt, and uncle leave Ruth to inherit a legacy she cannot ignore. With half-remembered childhood moments, hidden documents, and clues appearing around every corner, she’s compelled to embark on a journey to piece together the truth about her mother’s life and death.

Along the way, Ruth struggles to imagine her future as she works to hold her fracturing life together—including her relationship with her betrothed, Shimon—but discovers that her own sense of purpose and a sincere life partner can come from reckoning with what it truly means to love.]]> 13 02 Sally F.

In this emotional memoir, Joya Taft-Dick retraces her mother’s life—from a childhood rooted in an idyllic Vermont town through her years as an “expat” and a “trailing spouse” as the family moves from one country to the next. While Joya’s father’s United Nations job moves them from places like Liberia to Chad to Sri Lanka, putting them in the way of challenges like evacuations, tsunamis, and Scorpion Season, her mother increasingly relies on alcohol to numb her deepening disconnection and loss of agency.

Joya discovers evidence of wounding early on, and then watches as the tiny cracks they formed widen over time, exacerbated by a seemingly glamorous lifestyle and the learned ability to bury pain in resolute silence. In this uncovering of her mother’s story, Joya finally unearths compassion and love—not just for the entirety of who her mother once was but also for the hypervigilant child she herself was forced to be, and the woman she has since become.]]> 13 02 Joya Taft-Dick is a writer and communications professional with expertise in the field of gender.

Born to Holocaust survivors and trained in the black-and-white world of law, veteran gang prosecutor Karen McKinney believed in justice, punishment, and moral certainty—so when she was asked to oppose the parole of a man she sent away for life twenty years earlier, she expected to confirm his ongoing danger. Instead, she was confronted with something she had never encountered: true transformation.

Misjudged chronicles McKinney’s radical rethinking of justice through her evolving friendship with Joseph Herrera—a man she once believed to be irredeemable. Woven with personal reckonings, family trauma, and courtroom tension, this powerful memoir of healing and self-discovery reveals how the silent burdens of inherited trauma, family shame, and generational judgment shaped McKinney’s worldview—and how, through great effort, she began to break free and learned that the stories that shape us don’t have to define us. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, spiritually hungry, or disconnected from their true self, Misjudged is a compelling and hope-filled exploration of what it means to understand another person’s capacity for change and how to drop our fear-forged narratives in order to find true connection and humanity in this polarized world.]]> 13 02 Karen McKinney is a career prosecutor and former public defender who rose to the highest ranks of the gang unit in Orange County, California.

“We all live in prisons of our own making. In Misjudged, Karen McKinney shows what it means to step out of inherited beliefs and into the brave unknown of connection. Her story reminds us that the key to freedom is always in our hands—we just have to choose to use it.”—Dr. Edith Eva Eger, New York Times best-selling author of The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“McKinney writes from the rare intersection of justice and mercy, showing what happens when a prosecutor dares to look past her own certainty and see the human being she once condemned. This is not a story about guilt or innocence; it’s about the courage it takes to question your own righteousness. Raw, riveting, and unflinchingly honest, Misjudged reminds us that forgiveness isn’t a weakness but a radical act of seeing.”—Lara Love Hardin, New York Times best-selling author of The Many Lives of Mama Love, a pick for Oprah’s Book Club

“Raw, biting and deeply moving, McKinney shows in brutally honest detail what happens when we choose compassion over vengeance—and how even the hardest hearts can find forgiveness and redemption.

What if you could turn off the noise in your head that’s been controlling your life for decades—and all it took was one shot a week?

Paige Gordon binged for the first time when she was eleven—and for years afterward, she didn’t look back. It wasn’t that overeating made her feel better; she was simply ravenous. All the time. And as she got older, that feeling of constant hunger didn’t go away, but the feeling that accompanied it—shame—grew stronger. So she developed a new habit to go with the bingeing: purging. And once she started, nothing could make her stop. Not therapy, or Prozac, or the various inpatient programs she enrolled in, or any other traditional treatment Western medicine threw her way. And certainly not the love of the many men—good, flawed, or violent—she met along the way.

Searching for Full is a story of a life shaped by bulimia—a story of a girl with negligent and eventually absentee parents; a story of the love she tried to find elsewhere; a story of seeking control, and finding only pain. But Paige’s story doesn’t end there. Because one day, thirty years into living with her disorder, she heard a podcast about GLP-1s. How they could turn off the “food noise” in your head. And that’s when her journey truly began.]]> 13 02 Paige Gordon is a writer, advocate, and women’s commissioner whose work lives at the intersection of writing and systemic disruption.

“Paige Gordon’s voice is fearless, incisive, and deeply moving. With remarkable candor, she invites readers into the lived reality of eating disorders: the private negotiations, the contradictions, the quiet suffering that so often remains unseen. Her writing is both intellectually sharp and profoundly human, illuminating the complex terrain of recovery with honesty and courage. This is the kind of book that helps people feel seen, understood, and less alone, and that alone makes it invaluable.”—Yvonne Castañeda, LICSW, author of Pork Belly Tacos with a Side of Anxiety

“Writing with crisp prose and a propulsive pace, Paige Gordon takes us through her twenty-two-year battle with bulimia. Gordon’s writing is raw and honest and although she doesn’t shy away from the darkness, she illuminates her suffering without painting herself as a victim. As the bulimia fades and the chatter silenced, she finds her voice. A voice she uses as a call to action to pursue research and expand treatment for those still suffering with bulimia.”—Andrea Leeb, USA Today best-selling author of Such A Pretty Picture

“It’s a privilege to peer into Paige’s life, memories she shares authentically and with some levity. She shows us the ways trauma and an eating disorder can warp the biggest parts of our lives, the determination that patients and loved ones currently need to find better solutions and care, and how our health care and medical research systems need to evolve so that eating disorders can be fully understood and met with effective and compassionate care.”—Jessica Scheer, CEO of the National Eating Disorders Association

“Searching for Full is a heartbreaking yet ultimately hopeful story of trauma and addiction packed with sardonic, insightful humor. One hopes that Gordon’s groundbreaking personal discovery and advocacy will add to the growing body of research about the potential use of GLP drugs for addiction and binge eating disorders. An important and timely read.”—Wendy B.

In My Town, Mike Rogers shares how long-term commitment, local leadership, and intentional investment can transform communities from the inside out. Drawing on more than thirty-five years of building and revitalizing communities, Rogers shows why meaningful growth works best when it starts with the people who live there. He explains how projects - large and small - can reshape a community’s future.

Through real stories of historic preservation, urban infill, and community-driven development, this book reveals how one person’s dedication can spark economic vitality, cultural pride, and lasting opportunity. Rogers challenges readers to rethink success not as scale or speed, but as impact, stewardship, and care for place. My Town isn’t just about cities or construction. It’s about recognizing that “your town” could be anything you care about - a business, a neighborhood, or a cause.

This book is for anyone who has ever had an idea, seen a problem, or imagined something better - but hesitated to begin.

You’ll discover how to:

Invest locally in ways that create lasting value
Balance growth with history, culture, and character
Lead with intention and people-centered vision
Strengthen neighborhoods from the ground up
Build relationships that multiply long-term impact
Turn ideas into executed projects - not just plans

If you want to make a difference, My Town shows why the best place to start is home.]]> 13 02 MIKE ROGERS is a construction and development leader based in Mobile, Alabama, and president of Rogers & Willard, Inc.

Long before the arrival of Columbus and other Europeans, Indigenous peoples were exploring continents, engineering ecosystems, and building powerful empires across the Americas. In Mammoths and Empire, archaeologist Todd Braje reveals the sweeping, often overlooked story of more than 15,000 years of human history in the Americas—beginning with Ice Age explorers navigating unfamiliar lands filled with mammoths and giant predators, and culminating in the rise of agricultural communities, cities, and empires that rivaled any in the ancient world. This is not a tale of vanished peoples or “primitive” cultures, but a bold recentering of American history as Indigenous history and a celebration of the enduring traditions of Indigenous peoples.

Blending storytelling with cutting-edge science, Mammoths and Empire reveals how archaeologists study the past and how scientists unearth the stories of deep history. Along the way, Braje dismantles popular myths, confronts pseudoscience, and centers Indigenous knowledge, demonstrating how Native communities actively shaped and stewarded the landscapes, waterways, and environments around them long before European arrival.

More than just history, Mammoths and Empire is a book about American futures. As modern societies face climate change, biodiversity loss, and social instability, the deep history of the Americas offers roadmaps for resilience and sustainability. This book reveals why archaeology matters—not just for understanding where we came from, but for imagining where we might go next.]]> 13 02 Todd J.

The profane, prolific, and provocative playwright David Mamet—author of Oleanna, Glengarry Glen Ross (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), American Buffalo, and Speed-the-Plow—has not received a full-length biography in over twenty years.

David Mamet: A Life fills that gap. This definitive book offers a unique portrait of America's most celebrated playwright, providing comprehensive, in-depth coverage of Mamet’s private, public, and working life.

Mamet is one of those unusual individuals who, in combining their art and politics, has moved from being an artistic liberal figure to one of the few conservatives working in contemporary theater and film today.

Surprisingly, there has been only one biography of Mamet. This book sheds fresh light on him to show that what made him unique as an artist was the close relationship between his ethnicity and religion and his writing. His work became so closely intertwined with his Jewishness and Judaism that they formed the backbone of his existence and thinking.

Revealingly, this immersive biography will explore the ethnicity, religion, and politics of this writer who created some of the twentieth century’s most important works of art.]]> 13 02 Nathan Abrams was educated at Oxford and Birmingham Universities, earning a PhD in American Studies.

On a warm October night in 1905, a respected banker stepped out of his office and into the darkness. Hours later, he would take his own life, leaving behind a handwritten confession and its most devastating line: “Andrews has worked my ruin.” By morning, his bank had collapsed, taking the life savings of thousands of working people with it. Millions vanished. And the hidden machinery of the most corrupt, ruthless political empire in American history was instantly and violently exposed, confirming what had been whispered for years but never proven.

William “Bull” Andrews had spent decades learning the dark arts of power, as both the chief political operative of the Pennsylvania Republican machine, which ran its state like a crime syndicate, and a political agent for what The Atlantic called the "greatest, wisest, and meanest monopoly known to history." John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. Now, he wanted an empire of his own. Setting his sights on the far-flung Territory of New Mexico, the Bull saw a place raw enough to be shaped politically and rich enough to be mined economically. He would flood it with misappropriated capital, maneuver it toward statehood, and handsomely benefit when it gained inclusion in a nation changing under his feet. He had the party bosses, the railroad money, and had even placed a reluctant Theodore Roosevelt on a presidential ticket against the candidate’s own wishes.

What Andrews hadn’t counted on was the age that had built him was on borrowed time. In Washington, a new generation of progressive senators, for reasons both earnest and cynical, sought to block his path to statehood. In Pennsylvania, a charismatic small-town mayor built a campaign to destroy the machine that had built men like Andrews. Then, the banker walked into the darkness. When his confession became public, it handed his enemies exactly the weapon they needed, on the eve of an election that would decide whether the old order would survive at all. It did not end the way anyone expected.

Filled with political intrigue and fresh insight into one of the most chaotic periods in American history, The Territory reveals how the Gilded Age came to an end—suddenly, and not at all.]]> 13 02 Joshua Mendelsohn is Senior Labor Counsel at the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and a law professor at the Benjamin N.

After cousins Carson and Sophia find an old unfamiliar VHS tape tucked away in their grandma’s house, they figure the worst that can happen is a few cringeworthy moments and ninety minues wasted.

Four friends unearth a unique videotape unlocking new frontiers of sensation through teleportation, inadvertently opening doorways into cosmic terror. Results vary drastically when copies (and copies of copies) hit the streets.

Born in rural China during the Cultural Revolution, Dr. Jian Zhang grew up in a village where higher education was rare. Out of 120 children in her first-grade class, she was the only one to attend a tier-one university. Years later, she arrived in the United States as a nursing student with limited English and few connections. Over the next three decades, she rose from bedside nursing to become CEO of Chinese Hospital in San Francisco, the city’s last independent community hospital.

In Pressure and Possibility: How Difference Becomes a Source of Strength in Leadership, Dr. Jian Zhang shares the experiences that shaped her leadership philosophy as she guided a hospital serving one of the nation’s most diverse communities. Her story offers insight for leaders navigating uncertainty, responsibility, and change.

Readers will learn how to:

Turn difference into a leadership advantage
Lead with clarity in moments of crisis
Build trust across cultures and communities
Ground leadership in purpose, service, and resilience

Constant transformation is a given in urban life. However, re-vitalization and growth projects can often be sources of loss and displacement for many, creating mistrust and division. But change can be used for the common good. A vision of cities that serve everyone is possible, and begins with listening, engaging, and acting towards change together.

In The Accidental Gentrifier, Terry Shook chronicles his fifty-year path as an urban planner on the frontlines of urban evolution, shaping—and sometimes unintentionally destabilizing—communities. Candidly tracing his personal evolution and exposing the complexities behind gentrification in compelling and ongoing stories featuring real neighborhoods, he doesn’t simply define the problem and its effects but rather offers a message of hope and practical solutions towards equity, respect, and shared progress to save the cities we so cherish. Readers will learn:

Why gentrification is both unavoidable and deeply misunderstood
To identify ways urban professionals and citizens alike can influence positive growth
How to advocate effectively for more sustainable, equitable cities
How cities can be built in ways that honor their pasts

From a dusty garage in Indore, India, to the escalation rooms of Microsoft, Creena Mehta’s journey is a story of grit, trust, and running toward the fires others tend to avoid. Raised by a father who taught her that trust is built “pebble by pebble” and a mother who taught her to become “salt” — essential, even when unseen — Creena carried those lessons into twenty-five years of building products, rebuilding teams, and leading through chaos.

Run Toward the Fire is not a traditional leadership manual. It is a collection of stories: late-night customer crises, fragile teams searching for identity, products breaking in front of executives, motherhood colliding with ambition, and career pivots that demanded courage before clarity. Through Intel, Cisco, HP, Microsoft India, and Microsoft Canada, Creena shows how high-performing teams are not created by frameworks alone, but by trust, recognition, courage, customer obsession, and leaders willing to stand in the trenches first.

This is a book for engineers, managers, builders, parents, and anyone standing before a fire wondering whether to step forward. Creena’s answer is clear: warriors are not born. They are built one pebble, one person, one hard choice at a time.]]> 13 02

Today's athletes have access to more data than ever before. But they still start every day with the same question: What should my workout be today?

Watches, rings, and straps present a firehose of numbers—heart rate variability, sleep score, training load, readiness, recovery. Some athletes hire a coach to extrapolate a plan from the numbers, but most athletes resort to guesswork.

Athlete Intelligence allows runners, cyclists, and triathletes to harness AI to evolve their performance. AI offers athletes tangible advantages:

Translating the daily flood of wearable data into one clear decision.
Locking in on the handful of metrics that actually move fitness.
Flexing training volume and intensity to individual physiology.
Maximizing adaptation over each session, phase, and season of training.

By learning how AI converts data into decisions, athletes can supply the context and feedback that makes the technology even more effective.

1 The Question That Never Changed: What Do I Do Today?

Kona, 1990: a nineteen-year-old Paul watches Pauli Kiuru glance at the heart-rate number on his wrist, and 35 years of measurement later every athlete still wakes up asking the same question: What do I do today? The opening now rests on Kiuru’s own account, given to the author, of what that number was and was not doing.

2 Sports Science 1.0: The Lab

The lab era, from the 1920s to the 1990s, pinned down physiology that still holds, from VO2max to Banister’s fitness-and-fatigue model, yet it could never quite reach the athlete in the field, where the same threshold power produced wildly different results.

3 Sports Science 2.0: The Dashboard

Wearables measured everything and decided nothing. The bottleneck was never the sensors but one human trying to turn 30 athletes and hundreds of data streams into the right call. This was the era that rebuilt Mahe Drysdale for Olympic gold and let Karen Hanlen down.

4 Content Is King, But Context Is God

The real coaching problem is context, not content, because the same power number is a steady session for a fresh athlete and a failed race for an athlete who has cooked themselves.

5 What AI Can Actually Do

Andrea Zignoli’s VO2-predicting network in Caen in 2016 revealed the four things a machine genuinely adds--pattern recognition, memory, integration and scale--and made clear that human input still plays a role.

6 The Athlete Is Not a Dataset

The signal dashboards throw away is language, because the words an athlete uses, like “felt sick afterward” or “no power today,” reach the part of the response no sensor can measure and often move before the numbers do. A system that remembers every note can hand the early word back.

7 Sports Science 3.0: Choosing Better

Beyond a plan and a data point, Sport Science 3.0 presents a decision. A teenage mountain runner and Marius Bakken’s morning quad-squeeze teach essential stopgaps alongside the athlete dashboard, where the plan recommended threshold intervals but the recovery signals overruled it. The final call: an easy aerobic ride.

8 The Number on the Wrist

Your key thresholds can now be read straight from ordinary training with no lab test. Andi Böcherer’s Ironman Lanzarote win shows the method holding up in wind and lava heat, a 2015 study shows well-trained runners burning roughly three times the fat at the same effort, and Kiuru’s 141 finally gets its meaning: the top of Zone 2, sitting on his aerobic threshold.

9 The Consultant

The answer to “but I’m not Paul” is a coach you can argue with, one that reasons from real physiology and hands you the call, and whose most valuable move in Marjaana Rakai’s cardiac scare was a refusal: stop and see your doctors, while the rest of the app was still cheering her on.

10 The Engineer

Luke Evans went from a 2-minute walk-run in lockdown to winning an Ironman five years later, self-coached on the platform, proving the tools work for the everyman and that the athlete’s own read of his body is pivotal.

11 Coaches Don’t Disappear, They Scale

Luke’s maple-syrup stomach disaster was the one problem AI could not solve, and fixing it by hand reveals the division of labor: AI is the better scientist, the coach is the better human, and a coach’s judgment can now reach far more athletes.

Epilogue A New Contract Between Athlete and Science

Back to Kiuru one last time: the number was always an input, not an instruction, and the new contract is a partnership where AI holds everything it can while the athlete keeps the one signal only they can feel and the one decision only they can make.]]> 01 80/20 Publishing SIMO969 80/20 Publishing 01 01 80/20 Publishing SIMO969 80/20 Publishing 04 20270216 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 0.468 lb 08 7.488 oz 08 212.28 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20270216 30 02 49.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260913 02 59.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260913 80/20 Publishing AU 01 20270216 9798999755087 02 03 9798999755087 14 19798999755084 15 9798999755087 11 BB B402 Hardback - Paper Over Boards <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Run Toward the Fire</TitleText> <Subtitle>How a Code Warrior Builds Teams, Trust, and Courage When Everything Is Burning</Subtitle> 01 274040973 1 A01 Creena Mehta Mehta, Creena Creena Mehta
