**THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER, APRIL 2017**
‘The night before Charlie was born I had this dream. I dreamt that I was a soldier, riding into battle … completely naked, and on the back of a large, inflatable duck.’
Matt Coyne has become a hero for thousands of parents everywhere who are devoted followers of his popular blog, Man vs Baby.
This is his book, and it is not your average parenting tome.

But, more than that, it is the story of how becoming a parent is a kind of beautiful insanity – a thing that changes you.
Above all, Dummy will keep you laughing through the exhaustion, the mystery and the madness of bringing up your own children.

Rats: The Essential Guide to Ownership, Care, & Training for Your Pet
What pet can play fetch, learn its name, and still ride around in your pocket? It’s a rat, of course, and if you’re surprised by this, you should take some time to learn more about these delightful animals. Though wild rats have earned a bad rap for spreading illness and disease, domestic rats are clean and friendly animals that can be loving and wonderful additions to any family. If you have children that want pets but you’re not ready for a dog, a pet rat may be a great compromise. These little critters are fabulous pets for kids, requiring relatively simple care that even grade school children can understand and handle. They’re adaptable, affectionate, and tons of fun to watch and play with. With a life-span up to 5 years, your child can have a long relationship with her animals. Rats make great adult companions too, of course. Their minimal space requirements make them ideal for apartment dwellers, and their self-sufficiency and flexible sleeping habits mean they’ll adapt readily to even busy schedules. When they’re cared for properly, rats aren’t prone to many illnesses or health issues, and they’re affordable both up-front and in the long-term. Most of the challenges in rat care are caused by the animal’s remarkable intelligence. The information in this book will teach you how to properly house these notorious escape artists. You’ll also learn about the proper nutrition and care to keep your rats healthy in the long term, and how to identify and fix problems if they do come up. Introductions to breeding, showing, and training your animals are also included, if you want to take your rat ownership to the next level. Cuddly, smart, and entertaining, a pet rat combines the low time commitment of a small animal with the affection of a dog—and you may just find it’s the perfect pet for you.Read more

Is There Life Outside the Box: An Actor Despairs
His fans have spoken, but despite their requests, Peter Davison has gone ahead and written his autobiography anyway. It wasn’t the book they tried to stop – it was more like the book they didn’t want him to start.
Despite displaying unspectacular scientific aptitude at school – he even managed to fail CSE woodwork, eliciting a lament from his astonished teacher (‘All you have to do is recognise wood!’) – Peter has secured his place in science fiction history, becoming the fifth Doctor Who, although he nearly turned down the role. The Time Lord connection continued with the marriage of his daughter Georgia to Dr Who number ten, David Tennant.
The artist formerly known as Peter Malcolm Gordon Moffett has also starred in a number of television series including Love for Lydia, A Very Peculiar Practice, At Home with the Braithwaites and The Last Detective and became a national treasure for having his arm up a cow in his role as Tristan Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small. He was also in a Michael Winner movie…
He made his first tentative steps on stage in true am-dram style, but the Byfleet Players’ loss was the West End’s gain, after appearing in Legally Blonde, Chicago, Spamalot and the record-breaking Gypsy, where he rubbed shoulders backstage with Dames Meryl Streep, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench – all asking for directions to Imelda Staunton’s dressing room. One thing is for sure: of all the British screen and stage actors of the last fifty years, Peter Davison is certainly one of them and, within these pages, intrepid readers will at last have the dubious honour of sharing in his life and times – as he despairs over whether there truly ever can be life outside the box.

Be Useful: Seven tools for life
THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
The seven rules to follow to realise your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father’s adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold’s toolkit for a meaningful life. Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike–some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you — you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.

Kammy: The Funny and Moving Autobiography by the Broadcasting Legend
Foreword by Ben Shephard
‘Everyone loves Kammy . . . Full of humour and endless blunders’ – The Times
‘What a man, what a life, what a story, and what a great read’ – Paddy McGuinnessPresenter, commentator, (sometimes masked) singer, footballer, manager and campaigner, Kammy has done it all. His irrepressible enthusiasm – and a couple of legendary gaffes on Sky Sports – have seen him become broadcasting royalty.
Now Kammy reveals all in this funny and moving autobiography. What happens when you double cross José Mourinho? What it’s like to play with Vinnie Jones? Who comes off better: Kammy or a rampaging gorilla? How did Kammy end up releasing his own top-ten record? What’s the real story behind his infamous line, ‘I don’t know, Jeff!’?
But despite the crazy tales, it hasn’t all been plain sailing. Kammy had a tough upbringing, faced racism during his playing career and has, in recent years, dealt with a rare brain condition – apraxia – that has affected his speech and seen him say goodbye to Sky Sports. Relating his battle against the condition, Kammy shows how he’s met every challenge with courage, determination and his infectious smile.
Packed with hilarious stories and featuring a cast of famous names, from Elton John to Channing Tatum, this is a book about friendship, courage and why it’s always important to have a good laugh.
‘A talented (and daft) lad from the Boro who has entertained the nation for decades, on and off the pitch. So get the tissues ready – this book will make you laugh and cry in equal measure’ – Steph McGovern

Talia March, Pallas Llewellyn, and Amelia Rivers are dedicated to uncovering the mystery of what really happened to them months ago – an experience that amplified innate psychic abilities in each of them.

When Talia follows up on a lead from Phoebe, a fan of the trio’s podcast, she discovers that the informant has vanished.
Talia isn’t the only one looking for Phoebe. Luke Rand, a hunted and haunted man, also shows up at the meeting place. It’s clear he has his own agenda, and they are instantly suspicious of each other. But when a killer begins to stalk them, they decide to join forces to find Phoebe and the list.
The rocky investigation leads Talia and Luke to a rustic, remote retreat on Night Island in the Pacific Northwest, where the Unplugged Experience promises to rejuvenate guests. It soon becomes clear that Phoebe is not the first person to disappear into the strange gardens that surround the Unplugged Experience retreat. And then the first mysterious death occurs . . .

Finding a Family for Tommy
Tommy needs a new family to give him lots and lots of love. Where will he find one? On a farm? In the pond? At the zoo? Open the flaps in this charming picture book to help him find out!Finding a Family for Tommy is primarily aimed at pre-school children, aged between 18 months and five years. The simple picture book with repetitive text and interactive pages gives carers and social workers an opportunity to discuss the meaning of family and belonging.
Repetition is the best form of learning for this age group and the gentle nature of the story should encourage children to ask for it often without being overwhelmed by it.
The book can be read in preparation for a move from foster care and during introductions to permanent carers or adopters. Children can struggle to articulate the complex emotions that arise during times of change, and very young children may not even be able to acknowledge their anxieties. This book can help to reassure them at every stage of the transition.
Carers can use it to discuss why the child needs a new family and what kind of families there are. The book is also designed to be used post-adoption to remind children that they were chosen for a family, and that their family was specially chosen for them.
This book will gradually introduce children to the concepts of adoption and fostering. However, it has been mainly devised as a tool to help carers raise emotional issues and to give children opportunities to ask questions and seek answers.
Guidelines included with the text give suggestions for points to discuss with children.

How to improve and protect your mental health: Happier Self Worth Connected Resilient
Psychologists think of your mental health as being on a continuum – at one end is mental illness, and at the other is mental health. At different times, depending on what is happening in your life, you are at different points on this continuum.
Many people sit in the middle of the continuum, neither mentally healthy nor mentally ill. The American psychologist Cory Keyes called this ‘lethargic mental health’. He also discovered that you could move along the mental health continuum to become mentally healthy, what he called having ‘flourishing mental health’.
If you have flourishing mental health, you experience far more positive emotions, feel better about yourself, feel more connected to others, and you are up to six times less likely to develop common mental disorders such as depression or anxiety than someone with languishing mental health.
This book explains how you and those closest to you can move from lethargic to flourishing mental health by introducing research-validated mentally healthy habits and skills into your daily life.
Habits such as keeping a simple gratitude diary have been found by research psychologists to be effective in increasing the number of positive emotions you experience. There are also skills you can learn, such as using the Optimistic Framework, which will positively impact your mental health.
This book is written to be both accessible to you, whilst also properly referencing the research that underpins each habit and skill.Read more

Cognitive Biases Mastery – 2 Books In 1: How To Outsmart Mental Pitfalls And Make Smarter Choices To Elevate Work Performance (Decision Making Mastery)
Your subconscious is working against you – a simple tweak to your thought process can fix that.
We’re all biased.
You may have read the above and already your mind is raising its defenses. No… I don’t have a biased bone in my body.
The fact is: you do. So does everyone around you.
Scientific studies, in fact, suggest that certain forms of bias may be hardwired into the human psyche.
For instance, Professor Stephen Neuberg published research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2005, showing that we evolved as a species to quickly assess dangers posed by those outside our group for survival.
The ability to process information rapidly was a life-or-death evolutionary advantage to our ancestors in their hostile environment.
As our environmental landscape changed, we still needed to process information with speed, but the decisions became increasingly nuanced.
The swift system that evolved to identify and mitigate threats in hunter-gatherer societies became faulty, resulting in several cognitive biases everyone harbors.
Cognitive biases – or mental shortcuts – help you sift through the massive volumes of information available at each given time.
One comes to appreciate this thought process when confronted with the fact that, according to Professor Timothy Wilson from the University of Virginia, we face about 11,000,000 pieces of information simultaneously.
However, these mental shortcuts can lead to irrational, false, or even harmful conclusions.
For example, an HR manager – overestimating their understanding of a subject – could neglect to consult knowledge specialists during their hunt for new tech solutions.
This could lead to a loss of crucial time required for operational tasks.
Worse, this decision could lead to losing company money on ineffective tech solutions.
Such cognitive processes can consequently prove detrimental to your professional and personal life.
But wait – you didn’t think we’d leave you without good news, did you?
All the techniques that give you control over subconscious cognitive activities are within your reach.
This book bundle will help you to identify and correct the cognitive biases you fall prey to in your everyday life.
This book bundle includes:
- Cognitive Biases In A Nutshell: How To Spot And Stop The Hiccups In Our Thinking Process
- Lay Off Your Cognitive Biases: How To Identify Them And Ways To Prevent Disastrous Mistakes And Missed Opportunities At Work
Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside:
- How wanting something to be true influences you to “find” evidence that it is and how to avoid this
- Elon Musk’s secret behind professional and personal growth
- The 5 ways your ego tricks you into thinking you know more than you do
- How bias exists along a scale and where yours falls on it
- What are the Halo and the Horn effects and how you can reduce their impact on your decisions
- Why this crucial mistake could cost you your job and land you at the “Peak of Mount Stupid” (And 6 strategies to help you overcome it)
- These 6 thought-provoking questions can eliminate any unconscious cognitive biases at play during your decision-making process
…and much, much more.
We’re not telling you we have a magic potion to eliminate your cognitive biases completely, but we sure do have a recipe filled with strategies you can eventually turn into habits.

But the confusion of black roofed tenements, courts and slums that stretch as far as they eye can see reveal that amongst the gilded prosperity there lies a neglect of any pursuit beyond the merest means of existence.Jobe, born on the sloping hills, is oblivious to the struggle of life in the slums where his Catholic mother was raised or the opulence of the rolling Wirral pastures of his Protestant father’s youth. It is not until an unforeseen circumstance imposes the disease of desperation and depravation onto his life that he becomes aware of the poverty, industrial unrest and sectarian storms that are blowing through the city.

Avenging Angels: Ghost Stories by Victorian Women Writers
Ghost stories have always provided a popular source of entertainment, thrilling readers with tales of remote gothic castles and dark dungeons. In the nineteenth century, authors made the genre even scarier by bringing the uncanny within the sanctity of the middle-class home. Women writers especially saw the ghost story as an empowering form, using it to make subversive arguments about gender, class, sexuality, race, and money. In this electrifying collection, Melissa Edmundson showcases ten authors who led lives that challenged Victorian notions of how women should behave and brought those transgressive ideas into their fiction.THE FOUR-FIFTEEN EXPRESS Amelia B.

Victorian Buxton & The Queen Of Scots Quest
A fictional, romanticised, Victorian tale about a small but significant town in middle England. A place known these days as Buxton began its existence as the hidden away, mountain top, Roman province of Britannia. Which started out as a simple encampment based around it’s natural, warm springs.
A congenial ride out to the pleasantly enhanced town for a tranquil get together, quickly evolves to reveal an unforeseen mystery of royal creation. A rare and demanding quest that requires mental agility and bold determination to solve.
The long forgotten task soon becomes the joint responsibility of two, young, Victorian companions. Who venture forth and travel around the town and beyond its limits. Carefully directed to local destinations of interest and intrigue set across the wild and bewitching Derbyshire peaks. Where the promise of answers lie cold and dormant, obscured from their view by centuries of historical happenings. The avid friends must delve into a painful past and reach for understanding to progress.
Alis and Ivor’s visit takes them up into the hills that surround the town and leads them on an unusual mission in the name of Mary, Queen of the Scots. Cryptic instructions left 300 years earlier by the hapless Queen, takes them on an esoteric trail of fortune.
During its existence Buxton has not only been a Roman outpost with soothing waters, it has been a distant Tudor village with healing liquid properties, as well as a fine Victorian Spa Town. Providing elegant, summer time, luxury bathing for the landed gentry of the age.
Their escapade presents itself in 1894, during a period of time when Buxton enjoyed its apex of glamorous indulgence and sophisticated excellence. Since then the vast majority of the Victorian property in Buxton, and its associated history, has been protected. The land, most of which still belongs to the current Duchess and Duke of Devonshire, has been guarded over the years against any great changes. The Duke, his wife and their predecessors have been developing and watching over Buxton, one way or another, for many hundreds of years.-Inspiration-
A View From A WindowThe author of this book lived for many years at –
No.1 Pavilion Mansions,
Hartington Road,
Buxton.
Which has an interesting view through a large, stone, bay window on the side elevation of the substantial Victorian property. A view that encompasses the passage of Buxton’s history through the ages.
To the right of the window a neglected lane passes by. Beneath the moss and debris, a cobbled road once built by Roman soldiers (AD43-410) runs down from higher to lower Buxton. Which brought to mind horse drawn chariots, rolling down the hill towards the towns health giving springs.
Directly ahead lies The Old Hall Hotel (1573). Which was built to house Mary Queen of Scots. Who will have walked out of the Hall onto the dusty road. Absorbing the scenery and deeply breathing in the clean mountain air. Seeking to find some solace for her persecuted soul.
Behind The Hall, the Devonshire Dome (1789) presents itself as a magnificent example of Victorian engineering and ingenuity. Once famed for being the largest unsupported dome in the world. Which indicates the quality of architects once drawn to the town.
On the far side of the Dome The Palace Hotel (1863) stands wide. A place where Victorian gentry would have walked and talked and paraded their finery.
Yonder, the caressing hills frame the view. Tree covered hills that have been there forever which turn from green, to orange, to the bright white of snow in the winter.
The Romans, the Tudors, and the Victorians all sought out Buxton. Which caused the author to spend her evenings looking out of the window, that captures 2,000 years of Buxton history. Wondering what else the people from bygone days, did with their time whilst in Buxton.Read more
