Trafalgar: Nelson’s Great Victory (The Age of Sail)
A gripping account of one of history’s most famous naval battles: Trafalgar.But why was the battle so important? How did Napoleon’s navy come to threaten English shores? And what truly unfolded during those brutal hours on 21 October 1805?
In this authoritative and engrossing narrative, Donald Macintyre charts the dramatic prelude to Trafalgar — from Horatio Nelson’s rise to fame at the battles of the Nile and Copenhagen, to Pierre-Charles Villeneuve’s bold attempt to unite French naval forces in the Caribbean before slipping past the British blockade to challenge their command of the seas.
The mounting tension is brilliantly captured as Nelson pursues Villeneuve across the Atlantic, leading to a fateful clash off the coast of Spain. Though the outcome is known to history, the battle’s gripping details — the daring manoeuvres, the desperate fighting, and the heroism of individual ships and captains — are vividly brought to life, revealing both the triumph and the tragedy of Britain’s most celebrated naval victory.
Trafalgar is essential reading for anyone fascinated by this legendary conflict of the Age of Sail.

Trip to the Moon: Understanding the True Power Of Story (Audio Download): John Yorke, John Yorke, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Brought to you by Penguin.
A masterclass in telling stories – and how they shape our world – from the internationally renowned narrative expert
To command narrative is to control a sometimes frightening power. What is it that turbocharges some tales, and how is it possible to harness that potency?
John Yorke has revolutionised our understanding of story structure. In this new book he delves deeper – into how to put that structure to work in the world. Trip to the Moon takes us on a journey not just through drama and fiction but through politics, religion and non-western narrative, to seek out the role of story in all our lives, examining how to utilise its lessons to create life-changing tales – and, in a world aflame with conspiracy theories, to guard ourselves against their darker purpose too.
Revealing the artful symmetry and underlying principles that connect Summer beach reads to Classical Chinese poetry, superhero flicks to Russian arthouse, and classical rhetoric to state propaganda, Yorke makes dazzling connections that show how stories have the power to transfigure the chaos of our existence into a new equilibrium, and make the world anew.

Uncluttered Faith: Own Less, Love More, and Make an Impact in Your World: A Minimalist Book
A transformative guide to experiencing the fullness of God’s promises through the power of minimalism–from the bestselling author of The More of Less and The Minimalist Home.Joshua Becker weaves together personal stories, biblical teachings, and practical advice to help you let go of consumerism and worldly possessions and to instead embrace the great joy Jesus offers. This positive and compelling book serves as both a personal and collective call to action, urging you to own less, love more, and realize your full potential in God’s kingdom.
Rooted in the teachings of Jesus, Uncluttered Faith argues that true spiritual fulfillment and abundant life are found not in accumulation but in simplicity and generosity. Becker draws on key biblical passages to show how worldly treasures can hinder your relationship with God and your potential in His Kingdom. He shares his journey toward minimalism, a path he began nearly two decades ago, and the life-changing benefits on his relationship with God experienced through it. Joshua emphasizes that the practical implication of following Jesus’s teachings on money and possessions doesn’t lead to a boring life, but is the formula to experience purpose, passion, fulfillment, and meaning in this life.
Uncluttered Faith is more than a guide for personal growth; it casts a bold vision for the Church to collectively embrace minimalism and reach its full potential. You will be left with a desire to minimize your possessions so you can experience all that God offers and accomplish the good work for the kingdom God has prepared for you, ultimately leading to a life that is not only personally fulfilling but also impacts eternity.

Uncomplicate It: Permission to Enjoy God in Your Unique Way
What if connecting with God could be simpler—and more personal—than you ever imagined?
What if your personality, learning style, background, and current season of life weren’t obstacles to overcome, but actually the keys to a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with God?
In Uncomplicate It, international speaker Hosanna Wong invites you to move past the lie that your relationship with God must look like someone else’s, or that it must look like it did years ago. Instead, she unpacks what God’s Word actually says about connecting with Him and offers you a permission slip to enjoy God in the unique way He’s created you to.
She will help you
- break free from unrealistic expectations that don’t come from God;
- overcome six common roadblocks that keep you from enjoying your life and relationship with Him;
- unlock six practical shortcuts to connecting with God in your current season;
- learn from the real-life stories of over a thousand believers who’ve found their own unique ways to encounter God; and
- release the guilt, shame, and comparison that come from the lie that your relationship with Jesus must look one certain way, or else.
A real relationship with God is not one-size-fits-all. Your relationship with God doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—or even like it’s looked in the past. This is your permission slip to uncomplicate your faith, embrace the way God made you, and fully receive the peace and joy that He has for you today.

Unlock Your Power: A seven-step system to break inner limits and rewrite your future in 2026
A practical, powerful guide to break old patterns, rewire your energy, and step into your next-level future ― no hustle required.
Discover the internal patterns that have been quietly running your life and learn how to take control of what comes next.
Do you:
- Say yes when you really mean no?
- Hold back even when you feel ready for more?
- Sense there’s a bigger version of your life waiting, but feel unsure how to reach it?
That’s not you failing and you’re definitely not broken. Those are subconscious patterns doing what they once learned to do: keeping you safe, accepted, and loved. They were helpful once but are limiting now.
These patterns aren’t your intuition. They’re habitual loops that quietly keep you playing small and stuck at the same level. But here’s the good news: once you can spot a pattern, you can change it. And when you change the pattern, you get to choose a new direction.
Spot the pattern. Shift the power.
In Unlock Your Power, Poppy Delbridge shows you how to uncover the patterns shaping your choices and how to consciously step into your next-level future.
Blending neuroscience, energy work and identity transformation, Unlock Your Power offers a clear, seven-step framework to help you break unhelpful habits, rewire emotional responses and start choosing what you actually want, not what you’ve been conditioned to settle for.
As you work through the book, you’ll begin to feel:
- Less overwhelmed
- More space and clarity in your mind
- More confident in your decisions
- Less reactive to stress
- More aligned with who you’re becoming
- More like yourself, only expanded
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about upgrading how you operate. If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and step into your next level with clarity and confidence, Unlock Your Power gives you both the spark and the structure to make that shift real.
The life you want isn’t waiting for you to earn it. It’s waiting for you to choose it.
Reclaim your energy. Unlock your power.

We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance
In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: ‘We are as gods – and we might as well get good at it.’ Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.
We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles – omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection – are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn’t whether humanity can play god. It’s whether we can do it wisely.
In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species’ next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity’s ascent from scarcity to superabundance – and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.
Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.
Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won’t be built by those who fear what’s coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.
Abundance is here. Are you ready?

When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine
The spirit of a place lies in the people who inhabit it, in the stories that intertwine through its streets. And this is especially true of a land like Palestine, the witness to defining historical transitions and stage to one of the most painful chapters in contemporary history. With a voice both authoritative and deeply human, Francesca Albanese, who had been living in Palestine for many years while following the legal battles of numerous Palestinian families, takes on the role of narrator of the ongoing conflict, starting from the stories of the people she met. Albanese elegantly composes a gallery of stories, characters, and places that allow us to understand what Palestine was like until a year and a half ago, and what it has become today. ‘Is it possible that after 42,000 people have been killed, you still cannot empathize with the Palestinians? Those among you who have not uttered a word about what is happening in Gaza demonstrate that empathy has evaporated from this room. Empathy is the glue that makes us stand united as humanity.’ -Albanese at the United Nations General Assembly, October 2024.Read more

You didn’t sleep all weekend, and you weren’t firedSomeone answered your message with a thumbs-up emoji and you just knew they hated you.
So you stopped talking to them, they eventually stopped texting, and now you miss them like crazySomeone went for a bathroom break mid-film, and you just knew it’s because they think your taste in films is terrible
You were so upset you missed the rest of the film, and they left earlyRejection is physically painful for you. Even the most minor criticism stings. And why wouldn’t it? By the time you were 12, you’d received 20,000 negative messages about yourself, your brain and your unique ADHD way of living life.
20,000.
Alex Partridge knows how it feels to live with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), the state of emotional dysregulation experienced by almost everyone with ADHD. Throughout his journey from successful entrepreneur to neurodiversity campaigner and host of the hugely successful ADHD Chatter, Alex has been haunted by the fear of rejection, labelled ‘over-sensitive’, and fought constantly against the desire to people-please and protect himself from emotional harm.
In Why Does Everybody Hate Me? Alex draws on his own experience of RSD, and shares how it’s coloured every aspect of his life, from his days as founder of the global social media content brands UniLad and LadBible, to his adult relationships, his mental health struggles and his terrible imposter syndrome. He’ll use the insights he’s gained from the world’s top experts on ADHD to share with you some simple steps to regaining your boundaries, your confidence and your self-belief.
You are not ‘too sensitive’ – nor are you broken. You were always enough.

William Tyndale and the English Language
‘Dearly beloved’, ‘say the word’, ‘the powers that be’, ‘for ever and ever’ – these familiar phrases and many more were set down in print for the first time by William Tyndale. For his groundbreaking English translation of the Bible, he deliberately chose to write in a way that could be understood by the widest possible audience.
In the first half of this pioneering exploration of the extraordinary impact Tyndale’s writing had on the development of the English language, David Crystal provides an analysis of his prose style, demonstrating its character as a novel genre of ‘written speech’, and bringing to light the remarkable number of cases where Tyndale is the first recorded user of a word or phrase in English. He also draws attention to the hitherto unrecognised role of Tyndale as an early lexicographer. The second half of the book is a linguistic detective story, devising an innovative lexical and grammatical metric to investigate the often-stated claim that eighty per cent of later biblical translations display Tyndale’s influence.
The result is a fascinating exploration of the work of the Father of the English Bible.

Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three. One, two, three Neds, Richard Two, Henries, four, five, six, then who?
Charlie Higson has always been fascinated by the story of the monarchy: from the b*stardly to the benevolent, the brilliant to the brutal. In this wonderful new book, using the famous rhyme he learned at school as his trusty guide, Charlie takes us through the history of this bizarre and long-lasting institution, introducing readers to every single ruler since poor Harold got it in the eye at the Battle of Hastings (or did he?).
Who were all these people, and what did they do? It’s all here. Bloody treachery? Check. Unruly incest? Check. A couple of Cromwells? Check. The War of Jenkins Ear? Sadly, for Robert Jenkins, check.
A rip-roaring journey that takes in the Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians and Windsors, not to mention the infamous Blois (how can we forget them?), Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee is an utterly engrossing and grossly entertaining guide to who ruled when and whether they were any good at it.

Woman Down: A Novel
In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway, but what she finds defies all expectations…and reality.
Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.
Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career―and herself.
Then he shows up.
Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.
Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.
When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously, Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The reputation the world wrote for her―the reputation only she can reclaim.

Worlds of Islam: A Global History
‘A brilliant and captivating work … There is simply no better book on Islam in history’ Eugene Rogan
From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age.
Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice.
As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.
