Out Law: A Dresden Files Novella (Audio Download): Jim Butcher, James Marsters, Podium Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
The past comes back in a big way for Chicago’s only professional wizard in this action-packed novella from the #1 New York Times–bestselling Dresden Files.
In a city that’s just beginning to recover from the devastation caused by the Battle of Chicago, Harry Dresden is finally pulling himself together as well. He’s ensconced in his own personal castle, healing his various wounds, and training an eager new apprentice. The last thing he wants is any trouble. But, as history has consistently—and quite annoyingly—shown, what Harry wants is rarely what Harry gets.
It starts with a visit from Harry’s most powerful frenemy, Gentleman John Marcone, Baron of Chicago. He needs Harry to assist in the redemption of an underling who’s looking to go straight. And since Harry does kinda sorta owe Marcone for saving his life once (stupid honorable debt!), it’s not a request he can refuse. He’ll just wish he had.
Because this little favor is going to drag Harry into a fight he doesn’t want on behalf of a lowlife he doesn’t trust against an enemy more powerful and pestilent than he ever could’ve expected: an insatiable, demonic foe whom Harry himself may have created when he wiped out the vampires of the Red Court so long ago.
Before, all it wanted was blood. Now it wants the entire world . . .

My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein: A Fiction
‘In one short and sly book after another, [Levy] writes about characters navigating swerves of history and sexuality, and the social and personal rootlessness that accompanies both’ Atlantic
Who was Gertrude Stein?
Avant-garde American poet and art collector who made her home in Paris, godmother of modernism, queer icon, friend to Picasso and Hemingway, self-declared genius ― a writer who has baffled readers and critics for a century.
And why does she matter?
The narrator of Deborah Levy’s latest, dazzling fiction has gone to Paris to find out. There she meets Eva with the blinding gaze, an artist in a long-distance marriage, and Fanny, a sexually adventurous financier; together they cook, walk, read and argue late into the nights.
As Paris sweeps her along in its ceaseless flow, she thinks – about what we have to lose to become modern, navigating anxiety, living with uncertainty, angry fathers, making a new life in another country, art and language – how all these things looked to Gertrude Stein in the early days of the twentieth century, and how they look to her and her friends in the early twenty-first.
This is a book about how we put ourselves together― an exhilarating, witty, cosmopolitan meditation on the pleasures and challenges of friendship, desire and living with other people. But it is also crashes through genre to create an inspired portrait of Stein herself: a writer who experimented fearlessly with a new way of living and who wrestled herself free from the nineteenth century to invent a brand-new way of looking at the world.

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.

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.

40 questions you wish you had asked in your 20s about investing
While there is an interest in investing, only 23% of people in the UK invest outside of their workplace pensions, compared to nearly two-thirds in the US.
Why the disparity? It usually comes down to two things: Fear and Lack of Education.
Most of us were never taught how to manage money in school. We left the classroom without the tools to navigate the real world, often falling into the same cycles of poor financial decisions as the generations before us. We’ve been led to believe that investing is a “guaranteed way to lose money” or that you need a fortune just to get started.
The truth? It is incredibly difficult to “9-to-5” your way to true wealth. This book was written to change that narrative. It isn’t just about stocks and bonds—it’s about moving from being a consumer of the economy to becoming an owner of it.
What’s Inside the Guide?
This conversational, jargon-free e-book breaks down the 40 most critical questions about building a resilient financial future. We dive deep into the pillar of investing, covering:
- Part 1: Foundations – Breaking down the “why” and and “what” of investing.
- Part 2: Investment Portfolios & Strategy – Moving beyond theory. We look at real-world portfolio models from investors and help you choose a strategy that fits your specific goals.
- Part 3: Investment Principles – The “rules of the game.” Learn the golden rules of diversification, compound interest, dollars costs averaging and why “time in the market” beats “timing the market”.
- Part 4: Costs, Fees and ISAs – Ignorance isn’t bliss. We dive into the fees that eat away at your returns and show you how to keep more of your hard-earned money.
- Part 5: Strategy in Motion – Do I invest or overpay my mortgage? How should my spouse and I think about our investments. This sections aims to answer wider questions surrounding investments.
Why Now?
Whether you have £10 or £10,000, the best time to start was yesterday; the second-best time is today.
40 questions you wish you had asked in your 20s about investing is your first step toward a more resilient future. It’s the resource you weren’t given in your 20s—now available to help you thrive in your 30s, 40s, and beyond.

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?

The Great Resistance: The 400-Year Fight to End Slavery in the Americas
The history of the most diverse insurrection the world has ever known.
For more than four centuries, enslaved people across the western hemisphere, from the United States and the Caribbean to Mexico and Brazil, fought any way they could to gain their freedom: from the first African revolt in 1521 on the island of Hispaniola to the eighteenth-century Maroon Wars on Jamaica, and the revolution that gave Haiti its independence. In The Great Resistance, acclaimed historian Carrie Gibson recovers their dramatic stories in one sweeping narrative. Focusing on the thousands of acts of defiance that kept the flame of freedom alive, Gibson vividly chronicles the resistance that eventually ended the slave trade and, with Brazil’s abolition in 1888, the institution of slavery itself.
Intertwined with this quest for emancipation were the political revolutions that gave rise to the modern nation-state. At a time when all post-slavery societies face serious questions about social and racial inequality, Gibson provides a radical new interpretation of abolition set amid a sweeping global landscape.
With its deep scholarship and rich narrative, The Great Resistance is a tribute to the persistence of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of circumstances.

The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body’s Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food (Audio Download): Dr. Jason Fung, Brian Nishii, Audible Studios: Amazon.co.uk: Books
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.

‘Ali Dawson is a delight – a detective you’ll want to spend more time with’ JP Delaney
Join Ali Dawson and her cold case team for another thrilling case.
Ali Dawson is a police detective who leads a unit that investigates cases so cold her team must travel to the distant past to solve them. But Ali and the team haven’t been allowed to time-travel ever since their technical expert, Jones, got stuck in Victorian London, never to be seen again.
To distract herself from meaningless tasks, Ali decides to look into a present-day case – an apparent suicide of a young man who fell to his death from a high building. She believes the death is linked to a psychic medium called Barry Power, who convinced the boy he could fly. Ali goes to one of Power’s shows where he claims to be in contact with Jones.
When Ali notices that evening that her cat, Terry, has gone missing, she decides to go back in time just long enough to prevent Terry from escaping through his open cat flap. A dangerous plan which backfires, and she finds herself once more in Victorian London, where she meets Jones, as well as Power, and the darkly mysterious Cain Templeton with whom Ali has unfinished business from her previous visit to the past . . .

The Laws of Thought: The Quest for a Mathematical Theory of the Mind
‘A must-read for anyone curious about how we think.’ Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators
From the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By, an exploration of the quest to use mathematics to describe the ways we think, from its origins three hundred years ago to the ideas behind modern AI systems and the ways in which they still differ from human minds.
Everyone has a basic understanding of how the physical world works. We learn about physics and chemistry in school, letting us explain the world around us in terms of concepts like force, acceleration, and gravity–the Laws of Nature. But we don’t have the same fluency with concepts needed to understand the world inside us–the Laws of Thought. While the story of how mathematics has been used to reveal the mysteries of the universe is familiar, the story of how it has been used to study the mind is not.
There is no one better to tell that story than Tom Griffiths, the head of Princeton’s AI Lab and a renowned expert in the field of cognitive science. In this groundbreaking book, he explains the three major approaches to formalizing thought–rules and symbols, neural networks, and probability and statistics–introducing each idea through the stories of the people behind it. As informed conversations about thought, language, and learning become ever more pressing in the age of AI, The Laws of Thought is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of technology.

It is 1987, and in the aftermath of a great storm, Cora sets out with her nine-year-old daughter to register the birth of her son. Her husband intends for her to follow a long-standing family tradition and call the baby after him. But when faced with the decision, Cora hesitates. Going against his wishes is a risk that will have consequences, but is it right for her child to inherit his name from generations of domineering men? The choice she makes in this moment will shape the course of their lives.
Seven years later, her son is Bear, a name chosen by his sister, and one that will prove as cataclysmic as the storm from which it emerged. Or he is Julian, the name his mother set her heart on, believing it will enable him to become his own person. Or he is Gordon, named after his father and raised in his cruel image – but is there still a chance to break the mould?
Powerfully moving and full of hope, this is the story of three names, three versions of a life, and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It is the story of one family, and love’s endless capacity to endure, no matter what fate has in store.

The Nest Los Angeles: America’s Reinfestation… (The Nest Series Book 3)
The Nest: Los AngelesThey thrived beneath New York. They devoured London. Now… they come for Los Angeles.
Deep beneath the sprawling streets of LA, in forgotten storm drains and abandoned subway tunnels, something ancient and monstrous is breeding. The homeless are disappearing without a trace, dragged screaming into the dark by huge, carnivorous nutria rats that have evolved into a perfect killing swarm.
At first, the authorities dismiss the reports, but they realise it’s happening again. It’s the nightmares from New York and London on their doorstep. Body parts begin surfacing in flood channels. CCTV captures shadows moving too fast to be real. Until the first attack happens above ground… in broad daylight.
As the nest swells into the millions, the city becomes a feeding ground.
Hospitals, malls, underground car parks, movie theatres, nowhere is safe. The rats are no longer hiding. They are hunting.
With Los Angeles teetering on the brink of collapse, a small, desperate task force races to uncover the nest behind the infestation. But the deeper they dig, the more horrific the answers become. The Covenant of the Nest are back and it’s a disaster.
This is weaponised evolution.
Relentless, brutal, and terrifyingly fast-paced, The Nest: Los Angeles plunges readers into a nightmare where survival is measured in seconds, and the darkness beneath the city is alive with teeth.
Millions of rats. One city. No escape.
Perfect for fans of James Herbert, Stephen King, and apocalyptic creature horror.

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

The Norman Conquest
‘I loved it. A suitably epic account of one of the most seismic and far-reaching events in British history’ Dan Snow
An upstart French duke who sets out to conquer the most powerful and unified kingdom in Christendom. An invasion force on a scale not seen since the days of the Romans. One of the bloodiest and most decisive battles ever fought.
Going beyond the familiar outline, bestselling historian Marc Morris examines not only the tumultuous events that led up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but also the chaos that came in its wake – English rebellions, Viking invasions, the construction of hundreds of castles and the destruction of England’s ancient ruling class. Language, law, architecture, even attitudes towards life itself, were altered forever by the Norman Conquest.

The Norman Conquest
An upstart French duke who sets out to conquer the most powerful and unified kingdom in Christendom. An invasion force on a scale not seen since the days of the Romans. One of the bloodiest and most decisive battles ever fought. This riveting book explains why the Norman Conquest was the single most important event in English history.
Assessing the original evidence at every turn, Marc Morris goes beyond the familiar outline to explain why England was at once so powerful and yet so vulnerable to William the Conqueror’s attack. Why the Normans, in some respects less sophisticated, possessed the military cutting edge. How William’s hopes of a united Anglo-Norman realm unravelled, dashed by English rebellions, Viking invasions and the insatiable demands of his fellow conquerors. This is a tale of powerful drama, repression and seismic social change: the Battle of Hastings itself and the violent ‘Harrying of the North’; the sudden introduction of castles and the wholesale rebuilding of every major church; the total destruction of an ancient ruling class. Language, law, architecture, even attitudes towards life itself were altered forever by the coming of the Normans.
Marc Morris, author of the bestselling biography of Edward I, A Great and Terrible King, approaches the Conquest with the same passion, verve and scrupulous concern for historical accuracy. This is the definitive account for our times of an extraordinary story, a pivotal moment in the shaping of the English nation.

This new history explains why the Norman Conquest was the most significant cultural and military episode in English history.
