A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness (Audio Download): Michael Pollan, Michael Pollan, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

The Eights: The captivating debut historical novel following the first women to study at Oxford University
‘Entertaining and moving…I came to love these four women as though they were my sisters’ TRACY CHEVALIER
‘I ADORED it. What a fantastic read. My book of the year’ JILL MANSELL
–
They knew they were changing history.
They didn’t know they would change each other.Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its 1000-year history, the world’s most famous university has admitted female students. Giddy with dreams of equality, education and emancipation, four young women move into neighbouring rooms on Corridor Eight. They have come here from all walks of life, and they are thrown into an unlikely, life-affirming friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Beatrice, politically-minded daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way – and her own friends – for the first time. Socialite Otto fills her room with extravagant luxuries but fears they won’t be enough to distract her from her memories of the war years. And quiet, clever, Marianne, the daughter of a village vicar, arrives bearing a secret she must hide from everyone – even The Eights – if she is to succeed.
But Oxford’s dreaming spires cast a dark shadow: in 1920, misogyny is still rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War are still very real indeed. And as the group navigate this tumultuous moment in time, their friendship will become more important than ever.
The Eights is a captivating debut novel about sisterhood, self-determination, courage, and what it means to come of age in a world that is forever changed.

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.

Veiled Silence
KendraNeglected and unloved her whole life, Kendra’s only dream was to have a family of her own—a home, a husband who loved her, and a house full of children.
So when she meets Gideon Maddox, she cannot believe a man as powerful, handsome, and wealthy as him would ever look at her twice, let alone ask her to marry him and have his baby.
After three years of trying, the test finally reads pregnant, and she’s overjoyed…but before she can tell him about their Christmas miracle, her joy quickly turns to sorrow when her husband reveals that he only married her for convenience.
Shattered, Kendra carries her precious secret into the cold, winter’s night, never expecting the man who broke her heart to care enough to find her.
Gideon
As a child, Gideon Maddox knew nothing but duty and abandonment. Raising his three brothers, he became the head of a billion-dollar empire, one he’d bleed and kill for.
But cold, hard cash doesn’t keep him warm or produce an heir, so he marries the sweet, naïve, and utterly guileless Kendra.
To him it’s a marriage of convenience, so when she fails to produce an heir, and his dealings with the Mafia turn sour, he does something truly terrible.
And when Kendra runs, taking a precious Christmas gift with her, Gideon realizes something far more important than all his power and wealth has slipped through his fingers.
Veiled Silence is the second book in the Dark & Silent Night series—dark, emotional romances about the Maddox brothers that explore the razor-thin line between hero and villain.

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?

Do Sian and Richard really have something to hide, or are Kitty and Grace just being nosy neighbours?
And if they are, perhaps they are not the only ones.
Because on this street’s nobody’s business might just turn out to be everybody’s business . . .

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

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

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: The brand-new hilarious history from comedy legends Higson and Moir
A Waterstones Best History Book 2025
A BBC History Magazine Book of the Year 2025
‘Learned, entertaining and highly approachable’ BOB MORTIMER
‘A treat’ ALICE LOXTON
‘Five stars from me…’ AL MURRAY
An unmissable collaboration between two comedy legends – an irresistible, family-friendly deep dive into the murky lives of the British monarchy.
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.
