Traversal (Audio Download): Maria Popova, Natascha McElhone, Canongate Books: Amazon.co.uk: Audible Books & Originals
In Traversal, Maria Popova traverses the border between life and death, chance and choice, chemistry and consciousness: what makes a body a person? What makes a planet a world? How do we safeguard our love of truth from our lust for power? What slakes our longings and what redeems our losses?
Popova illuminates our various instruments of reckoning with these questions – our telescopes and our treatises, our postulates and our poems – through the intertwined lives, loves and legacies of visionaries both celebrated and sidelined by history, people born into the margins of their time and place who lived to write the future: Mary Shelley, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Fanny Wright. Woven throughout their stories are other threads – the decoding of the insulin molecule, the invention of the bicycle, how nature creates blue – which come together to create a rich tapestry of life’s meaning; exploring what it is that makes life alive and worth living.
By turns epic and intimate, Traversal explores the universe between cells and souls to reveal the world, and our lives, in a dazzling new

The Queen’s Defiance: Catherine Of Aragon’s Tudor Battle For The Truth (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 5)
She is a princess of Spain. He promises her a crown.
But when love fades and ambition rises, can a queen fight for her truth and her daughter’s future?Catherine of Aragon survives years of poverty as a forgotten widow before Henry VIII makes her his queen. She stands beside him as wife, partner, and trusted advisor. She gives him loyalty. She gives him devotion. She gives him a daughter, Princess Mary.
But Henry wants a son.
And he desperately wants Anne Boleyn.When the king demands an annulment – claiming their marriage was never valid – Catherine faces an impossible choice: accept a comfortable exile and declare her daughter illegitimate, or fight for the truth no matter the cost.
Stripped of her title, separated from Mary, and sent away from court, Catherine refuses to surrender. She is Henry’s true wife. Mary is England’s rightful heir. No king, no mistress, and no amount of suffering will make her say otherwise.
From the glittering halls of Henry’s VIII’s early court to the lonely chambers of crumbling castles, this is the story of a woman who loses everything but never loses herself.
A mother’s love. A queen’s dignity. A faith that sustains her when everything else is taken.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, this Tudor novella is a powerful portrait of courage, conviction, and a woman who refused to be erased from history. Though this book can be read as a standalone, it is part of a series of strong Tudor women and is meant to be a short escape.

Tears from the Mother of the Sun: A Secret History of the World
Esoteric legends that track history across multiple continents and planes of existence• Synthesizes ancient mythologies across time, space, and cultures to resacralize the human experience
• Written as a novella interspersed with metered quatrains in the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres
• Includes full-color paintings of key figures and motifs, including Sita, Yggdrasil, the Minotaur, Quetzalcoatl, and the Three Marys
In this globe-spanning chronicle, Pir Zia Inayat Khan, leader of the Inayatiyya, sets forth an astonishing sequence of legends revealing little-known connections between ancient cultures and spiritual lineages.
Framed as a dialogue between the Iranianepic poet Firdausi and his tutelary daimon, this novella follows the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres in which prose passages are punctuated with metered verses. The daimon reveals to the hitherto depressed poet the inner history of the world as reflected in the missions of a succession of sages moving through Earth’s lands and ages. Readers will learn of the creation of the universe, the war of the angels and the jinns, the exile of Adam and Eve, and the deeds of Melchizedek and Enoch. They will also explore the rise of the Nephilim, the advent of ancient civilizations, the origins of the Abrahamic faiths, and the history of the Grail and Emerald Tablet. Beautiful paintings by Amruta Patil bring the legends to life.
The cumulative effect of the traditions synthesized here is a resacralization of the human experience across time, space, and cultures, achieved through an unexpected marriage of myth and history.

Psychological Essays
Alfred Richard Orage (1873-1934) was born in Dacre, West Riding, Yorkshire, and was a schoolteacher in Leeds for twelve years, during which time he helped found the Leeds Arts Club. He moved to London in 1906, where he worked as editor of The New Age: A Weekly Review of Politics, Literature and Art, to which many well-known writers and intellectuals contributed. He was involved in socialism for a time, and was a supporter of the social credit system of C.H. Douglas. During the years 1922 to 1930, Orage worked with G.I. Gurdjieff in France and the United States, after which he returned to England, where he became editor of The New English Weekly. He died suddenly during the early morning of 6th November, 1934, having given a radio talk for the B.B.C. on Social Credit the evening before, apparently in good health.Orage wrote wrote fifteen short Psychological Essays in the 1920s. They encompass such subjects as thought power and mental development, dealing with dark moods, the relationship between thought, feeling and body, the importance of active curiosity, observation, and so on. Although these can be read as stand-alone essays, they are very much connected with each other in the sequence given, and in their totality give a kind of recipe for living life to the full.

Ruin & Redemption (Sons of Mull Book 2)
He is her ruin … but she is his redemption. A talented weaver with ambitions. A reckless warrior on a path of destruction. A love woven from scandal.
Fiona has spent years perfecting her craft as a weaver. When she’s commissioned to create a series of tapestries for Dounarwyse Castle on the Isle of Mull, it’s her chance to prove herself—and escape the constraints of her overbearing family forever.
But from the moment she arrives, the laird’s wild eldest son sets his sights on her.
Ailean returns from war a hero—but without the lands or purpose to match his reputation. Restless and reckless, he’s a man careening toward self-destruction. Then he meets Fiona: sharp-tongued, ambitious, and utterly captivating. She’s a challenge he can’t resist, a distraction he desperately needs.
Fiona knows getting involved with Ailean would destroy everything she’s worked for. Her craft, her independence, her hard-won freedom. All of it hangs in the balance.
But Ailean is used to taking what he wants. And when their desire finally ignites, the scandal doesn’t just threaten Fiona’s future—it shatters it.
And now, Ailean comes face-to-face with the ugly consequences of his actions. Fiona’s ruin.
But if he wants redemption, he’ll have to fight for the woman he loves—not as a warrior claiming a prize, but as a man proving he’s worthy of her.
Full of suspense, emotion, and delicious spice, SONS OF MULL is a spin-off series from ROGUES OF MULL and HIGHLAND SCANDAL. The trilogy follows three warriors—Craeg, Ailean, and Greig—and the fierce women who make them question everything they thought they knew about duty, honor, and love.

The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body’s Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food: 2 (The Obesity Code, 2)
THE SEQUEL TO THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER THE OBESITY CODE“Jason Fung nails it again in The Hunger Code. This book clearly and compellingly explains why most Americans are overweight and gives us a concise, evidence-based way to manage our weight with as little hunger as possible.”—Dan Buettner, New York Times bestselling author of The Blue Zones
The Obesity Code helped thousands of people lose weight naturally.
The Hunger Code will help thousands more lose weight—and keep it off—in an era of weight‑loss drugs and ultra-processed foods…without counting calories.
For generations, we’ve accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.
What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?
With the food industry’s reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.
In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:
- Physical Hunger
- Emotional Hunger
- Social Hunger
Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …
With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight‑loss drugs.

A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness
From the best-selling author of How to Change Your Mind, a pioneering search for consciousness in the brain and beyond
A World Appears is the story of the quest to solve the greatest mystery in nature: consciousness. How does it feel to be you with your own personal feelings, thoughts and experiences? Every one of us is intimately familiar with consciousness, but no one knows how – or why – it came to be that three pounds of grey matter can generate a subjective point of view.
The early 1990s marked the birth of a new science of consciousness, based on the assumption that the phenomenon could be explained in terms of brain activity, but that effort is faltering, and wilder ideas, such as panpsychism, are now getting a hearing. Indeed, there is now reason to doubt that ‘objective science’ as we have known it since Galileo has the right tools to plumb first-person experience. A World Appears takes Michael Pollan from the laboratories where scientists are searching for the neural correlates of consciousness to encounters with philosophers and novelists and Buddhist monks, whom he finds have just as much to teach us about consciousness, if not more.
A story that begins in a brain lab in Seattle ends, of all places, in a cave in the mountains of New Mexico, where the author discovers that explaining consciousness may be less urgent than learning to practice it in our everyday lives.

Exploring our complex reactions to all kinds of change, from denial and guilt to rumination and stagnation, we’re offered tools and strategies to unlock our full potential in the face of upheaval.
Change isn’t something to just endure. It doesn’t have to leave us feeling stuck, hopeless or broken. Approached in the right way, it can lead us to uncover new abilities, perspectives and values, transforming us in extraordinary ways.
Whether you’re processing a past change, grappling with a present one, or bracing for a future one, discover who you can become on the other side of change.

Probability Zero: The Mathematical Impossibility of Evolution by Natural Selection
“Probability Zero represents the most rigorous mathematical challenge to Neo-Darwinian theory ever published. Period.”
—Frank J. Tipler, Professor of Mathematical Physics, Tulane University
THE BONFIRE OF MODERN BIOLOGY
For over a century, the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has served as the secular creation myth of the modern world. It has been hailed as the origin of the species, the foundation of modern biology, the cornerstone of the Enlightenment, and the universal acid that redefined Man’s place in the universe.
But after 150 years of storytelling, the scientific myths finally met the math.
In Probability Zero, Vox Day conducts the final forensic audit of a failed theory. This is not another entry in the culture wars, but a funeral for an outdated 19th-century narrative that has finally been caught in the headlights of 21st-century genomic data. By subjecting the big ideas of Darwin, Haldane, Mayr, Kimura, and Dawkins to the pitiless light of statistical and mathematical analysis, Day demonstrates that the Modern Synthesis isn’t just flawed—it is absolutely impossible.
THE REALITY CHECK
To understand the scientific catastrophe that is modern biology, imagine you are told that a man walked from New York City to Los Angeles in under five minutes. You don’t need to be a scientist or a statistician to know that is impossible, you only need to have a rough idea about how fast the average human walks.
Probability Zero applies this same logic to genetic science. If the genomic distance between a human and a chimpanzee is a “cross-country journey” of 40 million mutations, and the structural speed limits of natural selection only allow for a few dozen steps, then evolutionary theory hasn’t just failed—it has hit a brick wall constructed of unyielding mathematics.
Inside this definitive mathematical audit, you will find:
- The MITTENS Proof: A rigorous, step-by-step deconstruction of why natural selection cannot possibly account for even a small fraction of the complexity of life or the origin of the species.
- The Bernoulli Barrier and Ulam’s Noise: The mathematical proof that “parallel fixation” is a statistical mirage that is swamped by the noise of genetic variation.
- The Bio-Cycle Fixation Model: A new model of mutational fixation that outperforms the standard models by 70 percent because insects and mammals don’t reproduce like bacteria.
- Haldane’s Dilemma: The dilemma is resolved. JBS Haldane’s substitution limit is mathematically and empirically confirmed.
- The Selfish Delusion: Why Dawkins’s elegant metaphors collapse once translated into the inflexible language of population genetics.
Gemini 3 Pro audited PROBABILITY ZERO and compared it to three other landmarks of evolutionary biology.
- Probability Zero: Quantitative / Probabilistic. High Rigor: 9.7
- Systematics & The Origin of Species: Taxonomic / Observational. Medium Rigor: 6.0
- The Structure of Evolutionary Theory: Conceptual / Hierarchical. Low Rigor: 4.5
- The Selfish Gene: Narrative / Heuristic. Zero Rigor: 1.5
The era of scientific hand-waving is over. The theory of random evolution by natural selection, sexual selection, biased mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow is finished. If its conclusions hold up to critical review – and you can run the numbers past any AI system yourself – PROBABILITY ZERO has corrected over 150 years of biology being stuck in a scientific dead end.

The Oak and The Larch: A Forest History of Russia and its Empires
‘A towering achievement’ MERVE EMRE
NYT 25 Books Coming in January
A majestic cultural and environmental history that reveals how forests have made – and resisted – Russia’s many empires.
From the Baltic to the Pacific, from the Arctic to the Steppes of Central Asia, Russia’s forests account for nearly one-fifth of the world’s wooded lands. The Oak and the Larch is the first-ever English-language exploration of this vast expanse – a dazzling environmental history of Russia that offers an urgent new understanding of the nature of Russian power, and of Russia’s ideas of itself.
Inspired by the majestic oak, which towers over the country’s western heartland, and the hardy Siberian larch, an emblem of survival in the east, award winning scholar Sophie Pinkham’s magisterial account spans centuries, revealing how forests have nourished ancient Siberian Indigenous societies, defended medieval Slavic settlements from Mongol invasion and served as both an essential natural resource and a potent cultural symbol for Russia in all its incarnations, from the days of the tsars to the Soviets to Putin’s Federation.
By examining the country from the forest’s perspective, Pinkham pushes far beyond the contemporary political environment in Russia. She draws on literature, history and art to connect the expanse of the Russian wilderness and the nature of Russian culture, with indelible portraits of the diverse figures who have inhabited and celebrated these forests: the legendary Indigenous guide Dersu Uzala, giants of literature like Tolstoy and Chekhov, political thinkers like Kropotkin and even Stalin. She confronts the forest’s role in Russia’s long history of imperial conquest, and in resistance to this conquest.
Gorgeously written and surprising at every turn, The Oak and the Larch offers a vision of Russia rarely seen in the West, as a land defined by its wilderness, shaped by its encounters with the frontier, and – much like our own – ultimately beholden to nature’s whim.

The Score: How to Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game (Audio Download): C. Thi Nguyen, C. Thi Nguyen, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Brought to you by Penguin.
Is this the game you want to be playing?
Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions, corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what, we always seem to be playing by someone else’s rules.In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly ‘gamified’ world has fundamentally captured our value systems, turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data, and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us.
A life-long lover of online and board games himself, Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power, so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.

What Would Maggie Do?: A Triumph of Love on a Journey through Dementia
Michael’s charismatic and highly successful wife Maggie showed the first signs of dementia in her mid-fifties. His experience of caring for her is quite exceptional: he lived with her in a care home for nine years, overseeing every aspect of her care and medical treatment. Michael chose to do this as an act of love, not wanting to be separated from his wife nor to leave her alone. But the result was that a highly experienced business consultant lived inside the care system for nine years, observing, guiding and negotiating care and medical treatment on Maggie’s behalf, and is now able to share that story. In the experience of care professionals, this is unique. The lessons he learnt are so important that he has been urged by senior figures in the care sector to share his experience for the benefit of others and to promote much needed changes in the current care system.Read more

Nine Months That Count Forever: How your pregnancy diet shapes your baby’s future
From bestselling author and Glucose Goddess, a groundbreaking guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition that empowers mothers-to-be to improve their baby’s health for a lifetime.Most pregnant women are told: ‘Don’t worry – eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what they need from you.’ But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy can shape your baby’s brain, body and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules. Until now.
When biochemist Jessie Inchauspé became pregnant, she uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby’s development in the womb; yet most women don’t get nearly enough of the first three and too much of the fourth.
In 9 Months That Count Forever, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to:
– support your baby’s brain development, cognitive growth and emotional resilience
– help lower their risk of health challenges later in life, like asthma, allergies and diabetes
– influence your baby’s body composition, organ function and long-term metabolismWith guidance on supplements, nausea, labour, breastfeeding, meal plans and recipes, as well as Jessie’s personal journey, this landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy – and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.
‘Clear, evidence-based and empowering, this is an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand how food supports life from the very beginning.’

Tito and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia
Few figures have dominated a nation’s destiny as much as Marshal Tito of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions the full impact of Tito’s reign of power and his implicit responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia.
‘Excellent … I recommend his book for those who already know about Yugoslavia and want food for thought about the future.’ David Owen, Sunday Times
‘Admirable … Carefully researched and extremely readable.’ Literary Review
‘A passionate book, in which West’s historical sense is interlaced with his own very intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia from the late 1940s on and of the poignancy of [subsequent] events.’ Fergus Pyle, Irish Times

Feyerabend argues that scientific advances can only be understood in a historical context. He looks at the way the philosophy of science has consistently overemphasized practice over method, and considers the possibility that anarchism could replace rationalism in the theory of knowledge.This updated edition of the classic text includes a new introduction by Ian Hacking, one of the most important contemporary philosophers of science.

The Thomas the Tank Engine Man: The life of Reverend W Awdry
The stories of Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends have delighted generations of children and adults, but what do we know of the man who created them?
A devoted pastor and family man, the Reverend W Awdry first started telling the stories in order to amuse his own children, with no idea that the characters would lead to a global phenomenon that now, seventy years after their first appearance, shows no signs of waning.
In this fascinating and warm biography, prolific author Brian Sibley brings to life one of the most eminent children’s writers of the twentieth century, tracing his story from his Edwardian childhood through his time at University and into World War 2. A convinced pacifist, Awdry was thrown out of one curacy and denied another, because of his beliefs. Never afraid to fight for what he thought was right, he argued with his publishers and his illustrators, demanding the best for his favourite creations – the trains and their friends.

Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett’s indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same. His notion of “elementary, worldly wisdom”—a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and management—allows him to keep his emotions out of his investments and avoid the common pitfalls of bad judgment.
Munger’s system has steered his investments for forty years and has guided generations of successful investors. This book presents the essential steps of Munger’s investing strategy, condensed here for the first time from interviews, speeches, writings, and shareholder letters, and paired with commentary from fund managers, value investors, and business-case historians. Derived from Ben Graham’s value-investing system, Munger’s approach is straightforward enough that ordinary investors can apply it to their portfolios. This book is not simply about investing. It is about cultivating mental models for your whole life, but especially for your investments.

Theology in Hymns?: A Study of the Relationship of Doxology and Theology According to A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists (1780)
Of the many hymnbooks published by John and Charles Wesley, the most important was A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists (1780). Taking this volume as a case study and concentrating on the Charles Wesley hymns included in it, Teresa Berger clarifies the relationship between the language of doxology of worship and praise of God and the substance of theological reflection. She identifies the central theological themes and emphases in this body of hymnody, and raises the question of how theology can be embodied in hymns. Central to her argument is the claim that the theological analysis of doxological material is possible only when it takes care to recognize and safeguard the characteristics, the criteria of authenticity, and the tests of authority and legitimacy peculiar to doxological language. Part One of the book sets the whole discussion within the context of a renewed interest in doxological and liturgical traditions across Christianity by showing how the relationship of doxology and theology is an important topic of theological discussion in Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and ecumenical circles. Part Two is devoted to a thorough theological analysis of the central themes and images of the 1780 Collection. Part Three attempts to clarify the nature of doxology in its relation to theology.Read more

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens: Miniature Edition
Based on his father’s bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he “stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world . . . along with a few other surprises.” Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in “relationship bank accounts,” creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad’s theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled “The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens,” which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don’t cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out . . . Covey’s humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference.Read more
