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 . . .

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.

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.

‘Written beautifully and, at its heart, very wise’ – Sam Wallace, the Daily Telegraph
The ultimate guide to understanding why so many children experience problematic levels of stress at school today, and what we – as parents – can do to support them at home.
Katharine Radice draws on her training in child and adolescent development and 20+ years teaching in the classroom to provide you with practical advice, valuable insights and effective strategies to support your child through exams and assessments from KS3 to A level.
The teenage years are a swirl of trying to find an identity surrounded by other people’s expectations, so it’s no wonder pupils are feeling the pressure. It’s well known that teenage anxiety seems to be on the rise and it’s visibly present in classrooms today, especially during exams and assessments.
As parents, the challenge is this: is the pressure on your child healthy or not? And if it’s not healthy, what can we do about it?
The Parent’s Guide to Exam Stress includes voices of students, teachers and mental health professionals, all giving their take on what the exam experience can be like for teenagers today. You will learn how to open up the difficult conversations, how to understand where your child is coming from, and how to help pave the way for your child to feel motivated, prepared and ready for their exams.

We Are Movement: Unlocking Your Physical Intelligence
How much do you know about your body? How much does your body know about you?
Internationally celebrated choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor is renowned for his trailblazing innovations in performance. His ongoing enquiries into movement and the body have radically defined dance in the modern era. Over the past three decades, he has discovered that our intelligence lies not only in our brains, but in our bodies too. In We Are Movement, McGregor argues that physical intelligence is instinctive, pre-verbal, and continually upgrades itself. Mastering it will allow us all to release the knots in our physical and emotional selves, leaving us free to experience new forms of creativity and connection.
Drawing on his research with elite performers, athletes, cognitive neuroscientists, anthropologists and technologists, he shows how we can all become more physically fluent. Using simple steps, from practicing mindful walking to harnessing our bodies’ chemical reaction to stress, he teaches us how to become better communicators and more creative thinkers, so we can ultimately live fuller lives.
Elegant, cutting-edge and practical, We Are Movement is a user-friendly guide to priming your physical intelligence that will revolutionise the way you live your life.

Raising Dreamers: Why Imagination is the Key to Preserving Humanity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Will we lose our imagination in the age of artificial intelligence?
We are living through the most rapid transformation in human history. Artificial Intelligence is redefining intelligence, creativity, and even the boundaries of what it means to be human. But as machines grow smarter, humanity faces a deeper challenge—one that cannot be solved by algorithms or data.
In Raising Dreamers, author, researcher, and futurist Wylde Scott offers a bold and urgent thesis: Our survival as a species depends not on our intelligence, but on our imagination.
Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, education theory, and decades of creative research, Scott explores the imagination as both a biological function and a societal force—one capable of shaping the future of innovation, purpose, and human connection. Through clear frameworks and compelling storytelling, he reveals how imagination can be intentionally cultivated in children and adults alike to build resilience, adaptability, and meaning in an increasingly automated world.
Learn how to:
- Cultivate imagination to enhance creativity, resilience, and purpose
- Shift education from memorization to imagination to helping children thrive in a future where curiosity and creativity define success
- Use the power of play, creativity, and empathy to restore meaning and resilience in the digital era
- Discover purpose and the power of human connection to preserve the very essence of the human experience for generations to come
Raising Dreamers redefines how we think about learning, intelligence, and the future of humanity. It is a manifesto for parents, educators, and leaders who believe that technology should serve—not replace—the boundless potential of the human mind.
To imagine is to be human. To protect imagination is to protect our future.

Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences
In this “brilliant” (New York Review of Books) and groundbreaking classic, a leading psychologist argues that there are many human intelligences
When we call someone “intelligent,” we are often referring to traits like their high SAT score, their performance on an IQ test, or their ability to perform in today’s schools-which prioritize linguistic and mathematical abilities. Traits like these underlie most popular and psychological understanding of intelligence-but they tell a very incomplete story.
In this revolutionary classic, now updated with a new introduction, psychologist and educator Howard Gardner offers a dramatically different account: that by limiting our understanding of intelligence to “school smarts,” we miss the impressive range of talents and aptitudes that characterize the human species. Gardner instead posits the revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences, which encompasses musical ability to physical dexterity to deep knowledge of other persons-and of oneself-each of which merits the label “intelligence.”
In a penetrating update, Gardner’s Frames of Mind celebrates all forms of intellect-the varieties found in various animal species, plants, and ever-more powerful instruments of artificial intelligence.

Teacher Autonomy: Where Has It Gone and Why We Need It Back
Teacher Autonomy is a compelling exploration of the erosion of teacher independence in an era dominated by high-stakes accountability, rigid educational frameworks and a growing distrust of educators. This thought-provoking book delves into the history of autonomy in primary education, examining how shifts in policy and systems have drained creativity, individuality and meaningful connection from classrooms, leaving educators and learners alike disengaged and unmotivated.
Through the voices of real educators, including teachers, teaching assistants, senior leaders and early years practitioners, this book paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by those on the frontlines of education. It highlights the far-reaching consequences of reduced autonomy, from teacher attrition and low morale to school refusal, mental health struggles and pupil behaviour issues. In response to this, it offers a call to action and provides practical strategies, moments of reflection and actionable solutions to empower educators and leaders to reclaim their professional independence. Covering key topics such as Ofsted, observation and accountability, planning and assessment, teacher retention, teamwork, and mental health and wellbeing, each chapter ignites vital conversations about the future of education.
This book is a must-read for teachers, school leaders and policymakers at any stage of their career, offering valuable insights into how to rebuild trust, foster creativity and rekindle meaningful connections at the core of teaching, as well as navigate the change in the current educational landscape.

Jolted: Why We Quit, When to Stay, and Why It Matters
‘A master class’
― Adam Grant‘An essential guide’
― Annie DukeThe new science of why we quit, whether we should, and how to make the right choices for our work and lives, by the organizational psychologist who predicted the Great Resignation
Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom and lists of the “top reasons people quit their jobs” would have us believe that people quit when the toxic elements of their jobs grow too big or when they spot a better professional opportunity. But that’s only half the story. In reality, quitting is often triggered by a single event, inside or outside our jobs, that stops us in our tracks and causes us to rethink our relationship with work.
These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls “jolts,” and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives today. Jolts represent pivotal moments in our careers, and yet all too often, we respond to them in ways that harm our well-being and success. In Jolted, Klotz breaks down the different types of jolts we encounter and provides a road map to help us navigate them in ways that improve, rather than derail, our pursuit of the good life through our work.

How to Raise a Gentle Man: A guide for parents and carers who want to raise kind, emotionally intelligent and respectful boys
From birth we treat boys differently to girls: we hold them less, talk to them less and discipline them more harshly. Society is full of stereotyped masculinity and families often pass down inherited beliefs of what ‘manliness’ should look like.
How to Raise a Gentle Man is a book for any parent or carer who wants to break that cycle and for those who are fed up with boys being blamed for everything. Toxic masculinity doesn’t just hurt women and girls, it hurts boys too.
Sarah Ockwell-Smith, bestselling childcare expert and mother to three young men, argues that the answer to raising kind, respectful and gentle boys is not to ban social media or access to the internet, lay the blame solely at the feet of the incel movement or misogynistic influencers or to introduce reactionary Governmental education policies as a response to Netflix dramas.
The only truly effective way to help our boys is through the way we raise them.
How to Raise a Gentle Man gives step by step instructions for concerned parents and carers who want to get to the root of the problem and help boys to thrive in the manosphere. Whether you’re a parent to a newborn, a teacher to an eight year old, or raising a teenager, you’ll find plenty of advice here for you.

Runnin’ Down a Dream
‘Fantastic. A variety of useful insights and examples that converge into one story that underlies remarkable success in nearly any field: The relentless hunger to learn about the thing you love’ James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits
‘Schools never teach a how to find work you love class. Bill Gurley clearly maps the path with sharp insights and real tools. Strongly recommended’ Tony Fadell, iPod inventor, iPhone co-inventor, Nest founder, New York Times bestselling author of Build
‘Wicked smart and original, Bill pulls apart success stories and reverse engineers them for us. Thank you, Bill!’ Jeff Bezos, found of Amazon
__________Humans spend an estimated 80,000 hours of their lives at work. Shouldn’t that time be spent doing something you love? How can you avoid the trap of career regret?
Today, Bill Gurley is known for his successful investments in companies like Uber. But before he found his dream job in venture capital, Gurley came close to falling into a trap that affects millions: “career regret.” Family pressure and a broken education system push too many young people onto a conveyer belt where the destination is a small subset of idealized “safe” jobs. But, as new research by Gurley and the Wharton School of Business shows, 6 in 10 people are likely to regret their career choice years down the road.
For the past two decades, Gurley has observed people who have climbed to the top in fields ranging from technology to hospitality to entertainment―and who radiate joy in their chosen field. Why did they thrive while others floundered? Is there a formula to finding your dream job?
In Runnin’ Down a Dream, Gurley breaks down the components of success, identifying six key tenets that will set young people up for flourishing, purpose-filled careers. From chasing your curiosity and honing your craft to going where the action Is to always giving back, Gurley brings them to life – through his own captivating, straight-talk voice and revealing stories of a handful of iconic individuals who epitomize them.
‘Life,’ as Gurley’s writes, ‘is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition.’ A much-needed corrective to talk of ‘lazy jobs’ and ‘quiet quitting,’ this book will inspire a new generation to step off the conveyer belt, find the things that make them insatiably curious, and turn those fascinations into a thriving career―where the work doesn’t feel like work at all.

A Deadly Episode (Audio Download): Anthony Horowitz, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Audible Books & Originals
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the global bestselling author of Moonflower Murders and Close to Death comes an unputdownable new mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.
The Word is Murder, the first book in the Hawthorne series, is about to be made into a major feature film.
The actors have been cast, the script written, and filming has already started in Hastings.
But when Hawthorne and Anthony visit the set, they find a far from happy family.
The director’s pretentious, the screenwriter’s an eco-warrior, the two stars hate each other, and the producer has run out of money.
And things are about to get much, much worse.
In the middle of shooting, the actor playing Hawthorne is stabbed – which leaves the real Hawthorne with no choice. He has to step in and investigate his own murder.
Because the killer may not have got the right man. Was it Hawthorne himself who was meant to be the target?
A Deadly Episode is a wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well, and the most personal case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far.
