David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God: David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God
The story of how David Bowie’s search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation.
In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie’s creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie’s genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked.
From Bowie’s first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust’s messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie’s genius.
Taking Bowie’s spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord’s prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

From the multi-million copy bestselling author comes a chilling tale about life flashing before your eyes―including terrifying scenes you don’t remember.
When Damon survives a near-drowning, his life flashes before his eyes. Every memory is crystal clear―except one. A dead boy. A face he can’t place. A moment he doesn’t remember living. At first he tells himself it’s a trick of the mind. But everything else he saw was real. So why not this?
With his waking life stalked by the disturbing scene, confusion quickly turns to obsession. Desperate for answers, Damon digs into his fractured past, and becomes convinced that the only way to remember…is to die again. And again. And again. When he meets a perfect stranger who’s all too willing to help, the stage is set for his dice with death.
But if this is what it takes to uncover the truth, maybe some memories are better left buried…

Departure(s): The new book from the Booker Prize-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author
Departure(s) is a work of fiction – but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
It is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.
It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?
It begins at the end of life – but it doesn’t end there. Ultimately, it’s about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

Divine Union: The Essential Path to Oneness (Audio Download): Paul Selig, Paul Selig, Macmillan Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Move beyond separation and fear into a state of divine union, with renowned channel Paul Selig. This program is read by the author.
I am in union with the Source of all things. This may be the Guides’ most important teaching to date, and Paul Selig channels this crucial message in his newest audiobook, Divine Union. A standalone audiobook to highlight the importance of the concept, Divine Union teaches listeners to move beyond their inherited and clung-to ideas of separation in favor of unity, cohesion, and peace.
Though it may seem inevitable that humans will build walls between one another and fear those who appear different from ourselves, the Guides promise a future in which true connection and union is achieved. Once we realize that all humans are beings through which the Divine flows, fear-based separation will crumble, clearing the way for a better world.
The Guides’ message is nothing short of revolutionary: humanity is at a time of reckoning, and we must face ourselves and our creations in order to recognize the shared divinity within us all.

Dogs, Boys and Other Things I’ve Cried About
From the social media superstar behind @SimonSits, Isabel Klee – known for her heartwarming tales of dog rescue – comes an utterly winning memoir about a twentysomething woman’s search for true love in New York City and the dogs who helped her find it.
Isabel Klee had always wanted to live in New York City. At age 20, she got her chance, ditching her college upstate for Marymount Manhattan and moved into a tiny basement apartment on the Upper East Side. Dog-obsessed since childhood, her first postgrad job was managing content for the incredibly popular account The Dogist, and something clicked into place: a career focused on helping dogs was the new dream.
Isabel quickly found a passion for using her own growing platform to help rescue pups find their forever homes. At the same time, she was caught up in a whirlwind of friendships, parties, fickle boyfriends and grand romances, which she recounts in honest, tender and sometimes devastating chapters about the search for love and belonging.
Isabel’s first true love, though, was Simon, a fluffy puppy who’d been saved from the meat trade. As the highs and lows of this turbulent decade hit Isabel, it was Simon who kept her grounded. Together, Isabel and Simon created an online community of dog-lovers, fellow foster advocates and girls just trying to get through the trenches of their twenties.
In Dogs, Boys and Other Things I’ve Cried About, Isabel weaves together the stories of her foster dogs – and the challenges she helped them overcome – with tales of bad dates, hard decisions and great loves in New York City, all leading to a happy ending not only for the rescue pups, but for Isabel herself.

Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won
From the bestselling author of MONEYLAND and BUTLER TO THE WORLD, a revelatory new anatomy of global money laundering, the crime that makes crime pay
Without money laundering, few crimes of acquisition would be worth the trouble. South America’s drug cartels would be stuffed without it, as would Nigerian kleptocrats, Afghan terrorists, American tax evaders and a whole bestiary of human (and animal) traffickers the world over.
And yet, estimates of the dirty portion of world GDP have held steady at 2%-5% for decades. All efforts at legislation, diplomacy, prosecution and compliance have been a complete flop. It’s not a lack of will to stamp it out. It’s a lack of insight. So join bestselling investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a perspective-altering adventure through the flipside of the global economy.
In the criminal world, cash is still king (in fact, crime might now be the main thing cash is good for, and even why it still exists). Barter is pretty good too: vast, continent-wide exchanges of everything from luxury handbags to baby eels support a triangular drug trade linking Europe to the Far East. Cryptocurrencies flow through paper ledgers that would make a Florentine merchant feel at home.
And the system works. Whether you’re a fraudster, a cartel boss, a corrupt politician, a kleptocrat or a terrorist mastermind, your options to move and hide your money are more secure and more impenetrable than they have ever been. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It’s time that changed.

Fashioning the Crown: A Story of Power, Conflict and Couture
Published ahead of the centenary of the Queen’s birth, this beautifully illustrated book uncovers the hidden history of the Crown and how it survived a tumultuous era and two world wars.
**Features over 100 sumptuous images**
From the birth of the house of Windsor in 1917, its leading women – Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II – faced the perils of abdication and assassination, revolution and the rise of fascism, the threat of invasion and all-out war. Their sartorial decisions, alongside those of their royal husbands, projected power and perpetuity, diplomacy and defiance.
In this cinematic story of espionage and exquisite couture, Justine Picardie reveals the undercover lives of the creators behind the façade – including Hardy Amies, Cecil Beaton, Norman Hartnell and Edward Molyneux – and traces the ways in which visual iconography safeguarded the monarchy, even when their reign seemed to be hanging by a thread.
Drawing on original research in the Royal Archives and her own experiences at Balmoral, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, Picardie explores the family feuds and international conflicts that challenged the Crown, and how royal fashion has long been wielded as a weapon.

Find Your Pace: How Running Changed My Life and How It Can Change Yours Too
‘This genuinely feels like having a personal running coach in the book. Emma’s way of making runners of all paces feel confident in their own race is unmatched. A must-read for amateur and experienced runners alike.’ – Candice Brathwaite
All it takes is the first step.
As a child, Emma Kirk-Odunubi loved to run, revelling in that sense of freedom and the feel of the breeze on her skin. But as she grew up, her passion for this most simple of activities waned, overtaken by all the distractions that come with adult life. It was only when faced with the loss of her beloved father that Emma returned to running, and rediscovered its joy and its power. Now a certified coach and running gait expert, in Find Your Pace Emma reveals how running saved her life, how it can help you too, and ― crucially ― how to do it in the way that works for your lifestyle.
Packed with practical, expert advice, including detailed guides and training plans for beginners, intermediate and advanced-level runners, Find Your Pace will help you run better, whatever that looks like for you. It’s not about speed or distance or competing with others: running is for everyone.
Along the way, Emma dives into her many motivations for lacing up her trainers and hitting the road, trails or track ― from releasing pent-up energy and feeling at home in her body, to processing grief and carving out the time she needed to explore and accept her sexuality.

Finn just wants to survive Year 7, but his life is destined to be a series of epic fails.

At least he has best friends Laszlo (a hopeless romantic) and Google (ask her anything) by his side as he attempts to turn failure into victory in his very own book that is definitely not a diary.

First Overland: London–Singapore by Land Rover
Decades before Race Across the World, six friends made the epic journey from London to Singapore and back in two Land Rovers.
Why not? No-one had ever done it: one of the longest of all overland journeys, from the English Channel to Singapore. Several expeditions had tried. Some had reached the Persian deserts; a few, the Indian plains. But none had gone further: over the jungle-clad Assamese mountains, across northern Burma, to Thailand and Malaya. It was 1955. For the final 3,000 miles, it seemed, there were ‘too many rivers and too few roads’. But no-one really knew…
They were undergraduates with no money, no cars―no nothing, except cool audacity. They wheedled and cajoled, coaxing the BBC into supplying film for a possible series; ‘persuading’ Rover to lend them two factory-fresh off-road vehicles; sweet-talking a book publisher into offering an advance. By the time they set off, their eighty-plus sponsors ranged from whiskey distillers to collapsible bucket–makers. Seven months and 12,000 miles later, two weary, police-escorted Land Rovers rolled into Singapore to flash-bulbs and champagne. Here, their bestseller is republished, with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough. He had given them that film, after all.

Foundational Skills for Writing: A Brain-Based Guide to Strengthen Executive Functions, Language, and Other Cornerstones for Writers
Strengthen the foundational skills that set students up for writing success
Writing is more than putting words down on paper―it’s a tool for thinking and learning, a vehicle for expression and connection.
Yet, writing instruction has often received less attention than reading, even though it′s just as complex. In fact, writing is one of the most complex tasks the brain coordinates, drawing simultaneously on language skills, executive functions, and motor processes.
Foundational Skills for Writing tackles that complexity by offering evidence-based methods, purposeful strategies, and playful approaches teachers can use to nurture essential writing skills. By supporting educators in developing the cognitive, motor, and language foundations of writing, this book helps students succeed academically, express themselves authentically, and connect meaningfully with the world.
Drawing from brain-based research and the science of writing, this book provides:
- Clear explanations of each foundational writing skill, including executive functions, oral language, motor skills, handwriting, spelling, and sentence construction.
- Practical connections to neurological research on the writing brain and how writing skills develop.
- Strategies, lessons, and routines that strengthen writing foundations during busy school days.
- Instructional activities to introduce, reinforce, and review foundational writing skills across primary, elementary, and middle school classrooms― skills that support growth in every area of literacy.
- Vetted tools, authentic examples, and practical scaffolds―making it a read-today, teach-tomorrow resource for immediate classroom impact.
Educators will gain the knowledge and tools to nurture young writers’ growth, support them through challenges, and build their confidence and competence.

Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences
In this “brilliant” (New York Review of Books) and groundbreaking classic, a leading psychologist argues that there are many human intelligences
When we call someone “intelligent,” we are often referring to traits like their high SAT score, their performance on an IQ test, or their ability to perform in today’s schools-which prioritize linguistic and mathematical abilities. Traits like these underlie most popular and psychological understanding of intelligence-but they tell a very incomplete story.
In this revolutionary classic, now updated with a new introduction, psychologist and educator Howard Gardner offers a dramatically different account: that by limiting our understanding of intelligence to “school smarts,” we miss the impressive range of talents and aptitudes that characterize the human species. Gardner instead posits the revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences, which encompasses musical ability to physical dexterity to deep knowledge of other persons-and of oneself-each of which merits the label “intelligence.”
In a penetrating update, Gardner’s Frames of Mind celebrates all forms of intellect-the varieties found in various animal species, plants, and ever-more powerful instruments of artificial intelligence.

Fruit of the Flesh
Behind the glamour of Gilded Age New York, a marriage of convenience between an artisan and a ballerina masks their shared appetite for revenge in this darkly seductive gothic romance.
In early 1900s New York, former ballerina Petronille De Villier makes an unconventional choice: Marry struggling sculptor Arkady Kamenev. For her, it’s an escape from her family’s unsavory legacy. For him, the De Villier name promises the patronage his art desperately needs. It should be a simple arrangement.
But beneath their marriage of convenience lurks a darker recognition. In each other, they see a reflection of their own dangerous appetites. As buried secrets surface and bodies begin disappearing, Petronille and Arkady discover their union runs deeper than social advantage. Their shared obsessions draw them into an intoxicating dance of predator and prey, though it’s never quite clear who is which.
Bound by law, God, and blood, they must decide if their monstrous natures will tear them apart or forge them into something terribly wonderful together. In a world where nothing is quite what it seems, two creatures of shadow learn that true love requires a taste for the macabre.
