The Book of Birds: A Field Guide to Wonder and Loss
From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers
A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way –– but we will not save what we do not love.
The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.
With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats –– their patterns of flight and of song, how they hunt and gather, how they nest and raise their young, the stories and myths which attend them, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with our own. And on every page we encounter Jackie Morris’s exhilarating artwork, painted in watercolour and gold and animated by an extraordinary attention to detail and sense of life. Set among this dazzling flock of species are seven sections celebrating the ‘Seven Wonders’ that together make up the everyday miracle of ‘Bird’: Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight and Migration.
Seven years in the making, The Book of Birds is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky. From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book to be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference.

Into the Heart of Middle-Earth: Exploring Faith and Fellowship in J. R. R. Tolkien’s the Lord of the Rings
Are you quite ready for a new adventure?
Into the Heart of Middle-earth is a spiritual companion to The Lord of the Rings–an invitation to journey through J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic tale with fresh eyes and a faithful heart. Written by Kaitlyn Facista, creator of the beloved Tea with Tolkien community, this book guides readers through Frodo and Sam’s perilous quest, revealing the practical and spiritual treasures hidden beneath the leaves of Lothlórien and along the weary miles of the road, and illuminating the eternal truths that give life and meaning to their journey.
Drawing from years of study and Tolkien’s own letters, Facista has helped thousands of readers explore the Catholic heart of Middle-earth. Like the Fellowship of the Ring itself, this book offers companionship for the road ahead–whether you’re visiting Middle-earth for the first time or returning as a seasoned traveler.
Few stories have captured the imagination quite like Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings–a timeless tale of courage, fellowship, and hope. From the green hills of the Shire to the shadowy fires of Mount Doom, generations of readers have felt the mysterious pull of something greater at work in Middle-earth. Tolkien himself spoke of “that one ever-present Person who is never absent and never named”–a divine providence so seamlessly woven into his narrative that readers of every background sense its power.
Though Tolkien did not write The Lord of the Rings as a Christian allegory, his Catholic faith provided a foundation–shaping a world rich with spiritual truth and moral beauty. Great stories like this do more than entertain–they awaken us. They help us discover deeper meaning and purpose in our own lives.
With Facista as your guide, journey alongside heroes of every kind–hobbits and kings, shieldmaidens and wizards–as you explore
- the values and themes that make Middle-earth a deeply human–and profoundly Christian–story world;
- the habits of excellence that drive Tolkien’s characters toward virtue;
- spiritual insights from saints and biblical figures who influenced Tolkien, such as St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s “Little Way” and the hospitality of St. Benedict;
- practical ways to weave the lessons of the Fellowship into your own life, strengthening your soul for the long road of faith.
Throughout the journey, you’ll discover how fellowship, humility, and hope are embodied in heroes both great and small–from Sam’s steadfast loyalty and Éowyn’s bold courage to Aragorn’s sacrificial kingship–and how these same virtues can shape your own path.
Join the adventure. Let Tolkien’s world transform the way you see your own–and return from the journey altogether changed.

The Future of Fraud (The FUTURES Series)
Fraud is BIG business – in this latest edition to the FUTURES series, find out the new (and old) ways fraudsters are targeting us, what future technological threats await, and how we can protect ourselves.
Humans have been ripping each other off since they first discovered the concept of lying but in 300 BC, the first ever official record of a fraud case was made. A merchant in Greece took out an insurance policy, borrowed money and planned to sink his boat. Unfortunately for him, things did not go according to plan. Since then, fraud has become more complex and harder to detect, as technology has evolved. So how can we protect ourselves now and in the future, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for?
Deeply researched and littered with expert testimony, The Future of Fraud will explore interesting fraud cases past and present, and expose how the technology we depend upon today is also perfectly poised to exploit us: from social media, the dark web and gaming, to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. And as well as parting us from our money, fraud is eroding the trust between humans and the state, and between each other.
The only way to tackle the fraud epidemic, argues Holmes, is head on, via education, language, technology and regulation. We need everyone to understand the dangers and have protections in place to stop the bad guys. Are we fighting a losing battle, or can we make the future a safer place for everyone?
Also available in the FUTURES series:
The Future of Travel by Daniel Maurer
The Future of the Novel by Simon Okotie
The Future of Energy by Richard Black
The Future of the Self by Joanna Nadin
The Future of Songwriting by Ros Taylor

Alone in Japan: A Journey to the Future
From the acclaimed writer and journalist, a vivid and wide-ranging portrait of love, sex and loneliness in contemporary Japan
No sex. No kids. No future?
When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, and a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come – but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning.
This book offers a unique portrait of life in contemporary Japan, from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the dynamism of its megacities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. The country is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the population is shrinking. As things stand, it will fall by a third with each new generation.
Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples’ homes, Feiling meets those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and considers the risks – and the opportunities – of the rise in solo living in Japan, and beyond.
Clear-sighted and surprising, Alone in Japan is a portrait of love, sex and death in contemporary Japan that should provoke and engage us all. It is an electrifying portrait of a nation on the brink by one of the most original reporters working today.

Am I Normal?: Understanding your place in a complex world
‘The world can feel a hard place at times, who hasn’t asked themselves ‘Is it me?’ How wonderfully reassuring to have Dr Alex ask those same questions with his trademark warmth and honesty. A must read for everyone trying their best at life.’ DR JULIE SMITH‘This is the story of all of the ways in which I didn’t fit in and of all the things I would rather change about the world, than myself.’
How many of us have at some time wondered ‘Am I Normal?’ And yet, our society is set up in such a way that there is very little room for difference or quirks or for us to question what normal really is.
In this powerful, honest, and ultimately comforting book, mental fitness advocate and former A&E doctor Dr Alex George explores what it means to be “normal” in a society that often fails to embrace any kind of straying from the accepted path laid out by the expectations of others.
After years spent trying to fit the mould of what others expected of him, Alex’s ADHD diagnosis became a turning point – not just in understanding himself, or helping him navigate the highs and lows he had experienced in childhood, whilst working in A&E and after the devastating loss of his brother, but in challenging the systems and society that marginalise so many.
This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realise that your version of your normal is enough.

Top Shelf: A MM Hockey Romance (Storm Warning Book 3)
Anyone can fall in love. Pickle makes it unforgettable.
Thunder Bay’s favorite chaos gremlin, Noah “Pickle” Piatkowski, is no longer the rookie, but he hasn’t lost an ounce of his wild energy. He’s fast, he’s fearless, and he’s still the guy who shows up late to practice because he got his hand stuck in a Pringles can again. Fans adore him. His teammates have stopped asking questions.
When the Storm gathers at The Drop to watch Hog’s partner, Rhett, land a deal on Shark Tank, Pickle’s world begins to tilt.
Enter Adrian Richter, thirty-four, a polished, quietly intense documentary filmmaker sent the day after the show by a streaming network sensing a story —sharp-eyed and no-nonsense. He’s come looking for an authentic slice of small-town hockey life…and instead he finds Pickle, standing in the parking lot of The Drop in Crocs, holding a broken karaoke microphone, and trying to teach Hog’s dog how to howl along to “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”
Adrian is thunderstruck. Not just by Pickle’s ridiculousness—but by the heat beneath the chaos. The tenderness tucked behind the jokes. The way Pickle lights up a room without even meaning to.
Pickle, for his part, has no idea what to do when someone hot, grown, and deeply competent looks at him like he’s more than the team’s comic relief. Every instinct tells him to deflect with humor, to hide behind being “the funny one,” to pretend he doesn’t care about the idea that someone might—finally—take him seriously. Letting Adrian see the version of himself he’s been protecting? That’s terrifying. That’s impossible. That’s starting to feel inevitable.
When the production company decides Pickle makes better footage as a joke than a person, Adrian faces his own choice: protect the project that was supposed to rebuild his stalled career, or protect the man who’s stolen his heart.
An opposites attract small-town hockey romance, with a guaranteed happily ever after.
A storm is coming to Thunder Bay.
Turns out, it’s love.Read more

That wasn’t in the plan. Neither was questioning her sexuality, but the more time Charlotte spends with Marin, the more she realizes her feelings run deeper than friendship.
Surely this would be a disaster, both of them being each other’s first, except the chemistry between them feels too strong to deny. But as they get to the heart of the mystery―and the heart of who they are―what brought them together just might tear them apart.

The Next World War: The new age of global conflict and the fight to stop it
“Incredibly well sourced… One of the most plugged-in voices in modern warfare” – THE TELEGRAPH
“Reads like a real-life geopolitical thriller … The fact it doesn’t feel like scaremongering says a lot about the state of the world” – Jonn Elledge, author of A History of the World in 47 Borders
The Next World War takes readers behind the scenes of the most dangerous era of international tensions since the end of the Cold War, as countries and military forces prepare for potential large-scale combat on a scale unseen since 1945.
From the corridors of power in Washington, Whitehall, Moscow and Beijing to the new frontlines of conflict in Ukraine, Taiwan, cyberspace and even the far side of the moon, Peter Apps unflinchingly explores the fault lines where global peace is already starting to unravel.
Featuring the voices of the commanders, diplomats and technologists already shaping history, as well as the nervous conscripts and ordinary people directly caught up in events, The Next World War examines the real-world effects of this new era of global confrontation. For some – including millions of citizens told to stockpile food and water and prepare for potential mass disruption – it still may not feel entirely real. But for Russia, China and their growing ‘axis of upheaval’, today’s conflicts represent a growing opportunity to reshape the world as they would like it – leading to potential disaster for the West if it cannot heed the warnings in time.
From the return of Cold War-style atomic threats to new forms of sabotage and ‘hybrid warfare’, the battle for global dominance is already firmly underway. The Next World War is the book you need to understand the growing precariousness of our current situation – and the unending battle to stop it escalating past the point of no return.
“Gripping and important … A warning order for the future” – General Sir Tim Radford KCB DSO OBE
“Sweeping and compelling, with plenty of human stories that really pull you in. A must-read book from the expert I go to when I really want to get a sense of where things might be going” – Anna-Joy Rickard, Great British Foreign Affairs podcast
