Royals and Rebels: The Rise and Fall of the Sikh Empire
In late-eighteenth-century India, the glory of the Mughal emperors was fading, and ambitious newcomers seized power, changing the political map forever. Enter the legendary Maharajah Ranjit Singh, whose Sikh Empire stretched throughout northwestern India into Afghanistan and Tibet. Priya Atwal shines fresh light on this long-lost kingdom, looking beyond its founding father to restore the queens and princes to the story of this empire’s spectacular rise and fall. She brings to life a self-made ruling family, inventively fusing Sikh, Mughal and European ideas of power, but eventually succumbing to gendered family politics, as the Sikh Empire fell to its great rival in the new India: the British. Royals and Rebels is a fascinating tale of family, royalty and the fluidity of power, set in a dramatic global era when new stars rose and upstart empires clashed.Read more

The Palace: From the Tudors to the Windsors, 500 Years of Royal History at Hampton Court
‘If a house could gossip, this is the book that Hampton Court would whisper. An enjoyable and readable stroll through 500 years of Hampton Court history: royal residents, common visitors, thieves, invaders and ghosts’ PHILIPPA GREGORY
For centuries, Hampton Court has been a place of power, scandal and intrigue: a stage for events that shaped the nation. The Palace raises the curtain on 500 years of British history with royals, politicians, criminals, and geniuses all playing their parts.
Hampton Court has been an arc of monarchy, revolution, religious fundamentalism, sexual scandals, and military coups. In this rich and vivid history, Gareth Russell moves through the rooms and the decades, each time focusing on a different person who called Hampton Court their home.
Beginning with the Tudors, Russell takes the reader from the kitchens of Henry VII and the dreams of Anne Boleyn to Elizabeth I’s brush with death and the staging of Shakespeare’s plays. To the commissioning of the King James Bible, the republican victories of Oliver Cromwell, the many mistresses of Charles II and their laxative-laced attempts to embarrass one another. The gossip and feuds of Georgian aristocrats lead into the era of the Windsors when Hampton Court becomes the place to host Elizabeth II’s coronation ball and hide the last Tsar’s sister.
Fascinating and engaging, The Palace is as atmospheric as it is gossipy and through the many sovereigns and servants that lived and worked in its halls reveals the personal tragedy and political importance of this extraordinary place.

The Paris Notebook: An utterly gripping and emotional WW2 historical fiction novel, based on a true story
‘Gripping, compelling and beautiful.’ Emma Cowell, author of The House in the Olive Grove
A secret big enough to destroy the Führer’s reputation. . .
January 1939:
When Katja Heinz secures a job as a typist at Doctor Viktor’s clinic, she doesn’t expect to be copying top secret medical records from a notebook.

The notes in his possession declare Hitler unfit for office – a secret that could destroy the Führer’s reputation, and change the course of the war if exposed. . .
With the notebook hidden in her hat box, Katja and Doctor Viktor travel to Paris. Seeking refuge in the Shakespeare and Company bookshop, they hope to find a publisher brave enough to print the controversial script.
But Katja is being watched. Nazi spies in Paris have discovered her plan. They will stop at nothing to destroy the notebook and silence those who know of the secret hidden inside. . .

The Path to Jannah: Guidance from the Quran and the Prophet’s Biography on the Principles, Actions, and Mindset that Lead to Paradise in the Hereafter (islamic books)
The Path to Jannah
Throughout history, people from different walks of life have attempted to portray the unique attributes of Paradise in paintings, films, and literature—yet all that we have seen (or imagined) in this worldly life is nothing compared to what Paradise actually is. As conveyed to us by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the last and final prophet of the heavenly revealed religions, it is a place that “no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever thought of.”
Despite the mystery surrounding this topic, the Glorious Quran reveals numerous details about the final abode of the believers (called “Jannah” in Arabic), providing rich descriptions of its magnificent bounties and clear guidelines for passing the tests of this life that will grant one entrance to Allah’s Eternal Gardens.
Written in accessible language for those wishing to know more about the Islamic concept of Paradise, “The Path to Jannah” is a book that takes readers on an insightful journey into some key Quranic verses and authentic sayings of the Prophet (PBUH) that we should all be aware of in order to understand and fulfill our true purpose in life, which is something that can only be achieved by taking the path of goodness that Allah SWT promises will lead to success in the Hereafter.
“The Path to Jannah” is an uplifting and beneficial read for anyone who wishes to cultivate the key traits associated with the inhabitants of Paradise, with practical tips and advice to help all those striving to attain the ultimate reward.
Some of the questions answered in this book include:
- Who are the people who pass the tests of this worldly life and end up in Paradise?
- Will they remember anything about the worldly life of this dunya?
- Will they be reunited with their loved ones?
- How do the angels assist the believers in the Hereafter?
- What does Islam say about the experience of death?
- Is Paradise the same for all people—or are some more privileged than others?
- Will it be possible to see the Creator in the Hereafter?
- Is faith alone sufficient to grant someone entry to Paradise?
Suitable for teens and adults alike, “The Path to Jannah” provides a complete roadmap to help sincere seekers of the truth reach the final destination of Paradise.

The Pathfinders: The Elite RAF Force that Turned the Tide of WWII
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!
Military History Matters Book of the Year Bronze Award Winner
‘Compelling… sensitive, colourful and moving’ — Saul David, Telegraph
‘Fascinating and utterly gripping’ — James Holland
‘Absorbing’ — Daily Mail Book of the WeekThe incredible story of the crack team of men and women who transformed RAF Bomber Command and helped the Allies deliver decisive victory over Nazi Germany.
The Pathfinders were ordinary men and women from a range of nations who revolutionised the efficiency of the Allies’ air campaign over mainland Europe. They elevated Bomber Command – initially the only part of the Allied war effort capable of attacking the heart of Nazi Germany – from an impotent force on the cusp of disintegration in 1942 to one capable of razing whole German cities to the ground in a single night, striking with devastating accuracy, inspiring fear and loathing in Hitler’s senior command.
With exclusive interviews with remaining survivors, personal diaries, previously classified records and never-before seen photographs, The Pathfinders brings to life the characters of the airmen and women – many barely out of their teens – who took to the skies in legendary British aircraft such as the Lancaster and the Mosquito, facing almost unimaginable levels of violence from enemy fighter planes to strike at the heart of the Nazi war machine.

The Peloponnesian War
The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides is a timeless classic that has shaped the way we understand the past and the present. It is one of the earliest surviving works of history and a key source of information about the Peloponnesian War, which lasted from 431 to 404 BC. Thucydides was an Athenian general who witnessed the war firsthand and meticulously documented the events as they unfolded. In his work, he offers a fascinating account of the war from both sides, including detailed descriptions of battles, speeches and strategy. He even goes beyond the war’s military aspects, examining its social, economic and political ramifications. Ultimately, The Peloponnesian War serves as an invaluable record of a pivotal event in ancient Greek history and a timeless lesson on the power of human ambition. It has been studied and admired by scholars and students of history for centuries, and its insights remain relevant to this day. This edition utilizes the 1874 translation by Welsh academic Richard Crawley (1840-1893).Thucydides (c. 460 BC–c. 395 BC) was an Athenian historian and general whose work, History of the Peloponnesian War, is widely considered one of the most influential works of history in the Western tradition. Thucydides recounts the conflict between Sparta and Athens in the 5th century BC, and his account is noted for its level of detail and unbiased depiction of the events. His writing style is characterized by a combination of narrative and analysis, which has made his work the subject of much scholarly debate. As a historian, Thucydides was the first to document the causes and effects of the Peloponnesian War. He was also the first to use speeches and documents to explain events in a narrative form. His work provides insight into the politics and culture of ancient Greece, as well as the origins of democracy and war. Thucydides also wrote a brief autobiography, which offers insight into his life and his motivations for writing the History of the Peloponnesian War. In addition to his writing, Thucydides was an active participant in the Peloponnesian War itself. He served as an Athenian general and was involved in the siege of Amphipolis. He was subsequently exiled from Athens for his role in the failed expedition. Thucydides also had a long and distinguished military career, serving in several campaigns and as an advisor to the Athenian government. The legacy of Thucydides has endured for centuries. His work is still widely read and studied, and his analysis of the Peloponnesian War is the basis of much of our understanding of the period. Thucydides is considered one of the most influential historians of all time, and his work is essential reading for those interested in the history of Greece and the ancient world.

The Peloponnesian War (Oxford World’s Classics)
‘The greatest historian that ever lived’Such was Macaulay’s verdict on Thucydides (c.460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. Thucydides himself was a participant in the war; to his history he brings an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals.
Of his own work Thucydides wrote: ‘I shall be content if [my history] is judged useful by those who will want to have a clear understanding of what happened – and, such is the human condition, will happen again … It was composed as a permanent legacy, not a showpiece for a single hearing.’ So it has proved. Of the prose writers of Greece and Rome Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly translation with comprehensive supporting material.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World’s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford’s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.Read more

The Pentateuch and Haftorahs
“This Soncino edition of the five books of Moses and Haftorahs with extensive introductions, notes and commentaries prepared under the editorship of the former Chief Rabbi Dr J H Hertz has been hailed as a great scholarly achievement by authorities of the Bible everywhere … The notes are brief and free from technicalities. They aim at the elucidation of the Text and the exposition of the spiritual and ethical teachings of the Torah. A vast literature has been sifted, apart from the standard Jewish and non-Jewish commentaries and illuminating extracts which are included in the notes. While reproducing all the advantages that made the original edition successful, the Soncino edition incorporates two new and interesting features which greatly enhance its value and utility. In place of the Revised Version which was originally adopted as the Translation, the American Jewish Version has been substituted. This translation has been universally accepted as conforming more faithfully to traditional Jewish interpretation. Secondly, the work has been carefully planned so as to occupy a single volume only in place of the original five. This copyright Edition, published under the authority of the Trustees of the late Dr J H Hertz, accordingly presents in one light and compact volume over 1,000 comprehensive pages of Hebrew Text, English Translation and Illuminating Notes”.Read more

The People’s Game: How to Save Football: THE AWARD WINNING BESTSELLER
*WINNER OF BEST SPORTS WRITING AT THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2023*
*Out now: Includes brand new material*
THE AWARD-WINNING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘Neville at his authentic best. [He] is the closest thing to a spokesman there is for English football.’ Sunday Times
‘Brilliant.’ Mail on Sunday
‘Gary Neville usually talks a lot of sense, and writes it too . . . Neville’s words are timely.’ Henry Winter, The Times
__________The beautiful game is under threat. The greed and selfishness of the biggest clubs is harming the sport, with smaller clubs struggling for financial survival and supporters being left behind.
It’s time to fix football.
__________Football is the people’s game. A sport accessible to everyone and enjoyed by millions around the world.
But football is broken. Beneath the glamourous sheen of the Premier League, it’s a game that’s rusting and rotten. The growing influence and wealth of the biggest teams is harming the game, leaving fans out of pocket and smaller clubs clinging to survival. The European Super League, which looked to eradicate competition in favour of guaranteed profits, was just the beginning.
This isn’t what football is about. Something’s got to change. Enough is enough.
Gary Neville has had a front-row seat in football for over 30 years, witnessing the sport at every level – as a player, a coach, a pundit and an owner. Most of all, he’s a fan. Shocked by the state of the game, Gary looks to find out how we got into this mess, who’s responsible, and what we can do about it.
The People’s Game is Gary’s vision for a brighter future. Drawing on interviews with those at the epicentre of the sport’s biggest issues – from the role of ownership to the lack of funding in the football league, the rise in racism, ownership models and the future of the women’s game – he explains how football has sleepwalked into this mess and offers a new path forward. With stories from his own playing career, as well as insight into some of the biggest footballing decisions in recent history, this is a total look at the game today.
This is a passionate, personal and critical account of how football lost its soul, and what we can do to get it back.

The Perfect Bet: Taking the Luck out of Gambling
Gamblers have been trying to figure out how to game the system since our ancestors first made wagers over dice fashioned from knucklebones: in revolutionary Paris, the ‘martingale’ strategy was rumoured to lead to foolproof success at roulette ; today, professional gamblers are using cutting-edge techniques to tilt the odds in their favour. Science is giving us the competitive edge over opponents, casinos and bookmakers. But is there such a thing as a perfect bet?
The Perfect Bet looks beyond probability and statistics to examine how wagers have inspired a plethora of new disciplines – spanning chaos theory, machine learning and game theory – which are not just revolutionising gambling, but changing our fundamental notions about chance, randomness and luck.
Explaining why poker is gaming’s last bastion of human superiority over AI, how methods originally developed for the US nuclear programme are helping pundits predict sports results and why a new breed of algorithms are losing banks millions, The Perfect Bet has the inside track on any wager you’d care to place.

Focussed on building a relationship with your dog that is based on trust and common sense, The Pet Gundog covers training exercises that enable you to walk out with a dog you can be proud to take anywhere, as well as behaviour changing techniques that help you develop a well-mannered and relaxed dog at home; after all, who wants to live with a bolshie, bad mannered gundog?
A toe-dipping foray into the world of shooting gives you an insight into what your dog has been bred for, and the foundation for all gundog training is covered in detail, as well as…
- Optimum health and wellbeing
- Socialisation for the adult dog

Author’s note :
If your puppy hasn’t reached the adolescent stage, and by that I mean he’s under four and a half months old, then do yourself a favour and go for The Pet Gundog Puppy rather than this book as The Pet Gundog has been written with dogs over 5 months in mind.

The Philosophy Gym: 25 Short Adventures in Thinking
Where did the universe come from? Is time travel possible? Are genetically designed babies morally acceptable? If you have ever asked yourself such questions, then you have already begun to think philosophically. This book is for those who want to take the next step. Stephen Law poses questions about some of the most important philosophical issues of today – and of yesterday. Light-hearted questions about whether a pickled sheep is really art rub shoulders with more profound and time-honoured fears about whether God exists. In this radically new way of looking at philosophy, Stephen Law illustrates the problem with a story then lets both sides of the argument battle it out in clear, easily digestible and intelligent prose. And, by separating each issue into a distinct section, it is possible to dip in and out of in any order and at any time you like!Read more

The Phone Fix: The Brain-Focused Guide to Building Healthy Digital Habits and Breaking Bad Ones
What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it.
Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we’re bored or feel uncomfortable.
NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital ‘addiction’, how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light.
Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence – unviable for most people – The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones - and therefore the real people around us.
