  • Bellies: ‘A beautiful love story’ Irish Times

    08

    ‘Smart, hilarious and deeply moving’ Elliot Page, author Pageboy

    ‘Bellies announces Nicola Dinan as a genuine literary talent, a gimlet-eyed cartographer of the human heart’ Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti

    ‘Thoughtful, seductive, and entirely engrossing – Bellies is already a classic’ Bryan Washington, author of Memorial and Lot

    It begins as your typical boy meets boy. While out with friends at a university drag night, Tom buys Ming a drink. Confident and witty, a charming young playwright, Ming is the perfect antidote to Tom’s awkward energy, and their connection is instant. Tom finds himself deeply and desperately drawn into Ming’s orbit, and on the cusp of graduation, he’s already mapped out their future together. But, shortly after they move to London to start their next chapter, Ming announces her intention to transition.

    From London to Kuala Lumpur, New York to Cologne, we follow Tom and Ming as they face shifts in their relationship in the wake of Ming’s transition. Through a spiral of unforeseen crises – some personal, some professional, some life-altering – Tom and Ming are forced to confront the vastly different shapes their lives have taken since graduating, and each must answer the essential question: is it worth losing a part of yourself to become who you are?

  • Berserker!: The riotous, one-of-a-kind memoir from one of Britain’s most beloved comedians

    08

    The instant Sunday Times bestseller.

    From brutal schooldays to 80s anarchy, through The Young Ones, Bottom and beyond, Berserker! is the one-of-a-kind, fascinating memoir from an icon of British comedy, Adrian Edmondson.

    *****

    ‘Everything Adrian Edmondson writes about makes you love him desperately’ – Caitlin Moran

    ‘The Berserkers from The Young Ones and Bottom tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage anecdotes’ – Ian Rankin

    ‘This is a bloody good book. Lots of people live interesting lives, but very few people can write genuinely interesting books about those lives. Adrian Edmondson has done both. It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that’ – Miles Jupp

    ‘More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening’ – Louis de Bernières

    ‘A hilarious romp through a golden era of comedy and a searingly honest and moving memoir’ – Red Magazine

    ‘The bravest, most affecting celebrity book of the year’ – Daily Express

    ‘Edmondson can be very funny and very poignant simultaneously’ – Daily Mirror

    *****

    Ade Edmondson smashed onto the comedy circuit in the 1980s, stormed The Comedy Store and, alongside Rik Mayall, brought anarchy to stage and screen. How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household – and who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools – end up joining the revolution? Well, he is part Norse. Could it be his ‘berserker’ heritage?

    With wisdom, nostalgia and uniquely observed humour, Ade traces his journey through life and comedy: starting out on the alternative scene, getting arrested in Soho, creating his outrageously violent characters and learning more about his curious (possibly Scandinavian) heritage. With star-studded anecdotes and set to a soundtrack of pop hits which transport the reader through time, it’s a memoir like no other.

    Berserker [noun]: A Norse warrior frenzied in battle and held to be invulnerable; often off his tits on henbane and large quantities of alcohol; one who is out of control with anger or excitement.

  • Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism

    04
    • This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism at the Dulwich Picture Gallery 31 March – 10 September 2023
    • Bringing together around 30 of Morisot’s most important works from international collections, many never seen before in the UK
    • The exhibition reveals the artist as a trailblazer of the impressionism movement

    Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism is the first major UK exhibition of the renowned Impressionist since 1950. In partnership with the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, it will bring together around 30 of Morisot’s most important works from international collections, many never seen before in the UK, to reveal the artist as a trailblazer of the movement as well as uncovering a previously untold connection between her work and 18th century culture, with around 20 works for comparison.

    A founding member of the Impressionist group, Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was known for her swiftly painted glimpses of contemporary life and intimate domestic scenes. She featured prominently in the Impressionist exhibitions and defied social norms to become one of the movement’s most influential figures. Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism will draw on new research and previously unpublished archival material from the Musée Marmottan Monet to trace the roots of her inspiration, revealing the ways in which Morisot engaged with 18th century art and culture, while also highlighting the originality of her artistic vision, which ultimately set her apart from her predecessors.

    Highlights will include Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight (1875), painted while Morisot was on honeymoon in England, and her striking Self-Portrait (1885), which will appear alongside Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s Young Woman (c.1769) from Dulwich Picture Gallery’s collection. Apollo revealing his divinity to the shepherdess Issé, after François Boucher (1892), In the Apple Tree (1890) and Julie Manet with her Greyhound Laerte (1893), are among nine paintings on loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet, many receiving their first ever showing in the UK.

    Lights, camera…attraction!

    When Tag O’Rourke, struggling actor-slash-barista, meets Jay Warren, son of acting royalty, it’s loathing at first sight. Loathing…and lust.

    Tag’s dream is to act, but it’s a dream that’s crumbling beneath the weight of student debt and his family’s financial problems. If his career doesn’t take off soon, he’s going to have to get a real job. After all, feeding his family is more important than feeding his soul.

    Luckily, Tag’s about to get his big break…

    Jay never had to dream about acting; he was always destined to follow in his famous mother’s footsteps. But fame has its price and a traumatic experience early in Jay’s career has left him with paralysing stage fright, which is why he sticks to the safety of TV work—and avoids relationships with co-stars at all costs.

    Unfortunately, Jay’s safe world is about to be rocked…

    After an ill-judged yet mind-blowing night together, Jay and Tag part acrimoniously. So it’s a nasty shock when they discover that they’ve been cast in a two-man play that could launch Tag’s career and finally get Jay back onto the stage where he belongs.

    Sure, it’s not ideal, but how bad can working with your arch-nemesis be?

    All they have to do is survive six weeks rehearsing together and navigate a cast of smarmy festival directors, terrible landladies, and vengeful journalists. Oh, and try not to fall in love before the curtain rises…

  • Bet Smart: The Kelly System for Gambling and Investing

    02
    In 1956, a physicist named John Kelly working at Bell Labs published a
    paper titled A New Interpretation of Information Rate. In the paper
    he draws an analogy between the outcomes of a gambling game and the
    transmission of symbols over a communications channel. For a positive
    expectation game, Kelly showed that a betting system based on a fixed
    fraction of the bankroll can make the bankroll grow at an exponential
    rate in the long run. The exponential growth rate in this case is
    directly analogous to the rate of information transmission through a
    communications channel.

    This book examines the Kelly system in detail. Applications of the
    Kelly system in both gambling and investing are considered. Python
    code for calculating the Kelly fractions for both a single stock
    investment and an investment in two stocks simultaneously is
    included.

    Included is an introductory review chapter on the probability theory
    needed to analyze gambling systems in general. There is also a chapter
    on some of the more commonly used gambling systems such as the
    Martingale system.

    This book will be useful for anyone interested in a good mathematical
    introduction to gambling systems in general, and the Kelly system in
    particular.

  • Better Betting with a Decent Feller: A Social History of Bookmaking

    04
    Today, branches of chains such as William Hill and Ladbrokes are familiar sights in high streets across Britain, and betting takes place on all sorts of events – from horse-racing to general elections, from football-match results to the likelihood of snow falling on Christmas Day. Yet until 1961 street bookmakers were illegal, and old prejudices are slow to fade away. A stigma is still attached to bookmaking, and for many people bookmakers remain a disreputable and shady lot. This book sets out to examine why this is the case. Social historian Carl Chinn was himself a bookmaker, like his father and grandfather before him, and therefore brings his own unique perspective to this lively and highly readable account of the profession’s history, from its origins among the sharpsters who hoodwinked punters at racecourses, to the illegal street bookies who offered the working class a tantalising escape from poverty, to the growth of leisure empires such as Coral and William Hill post-legalisation, to gambling on the internet and betting on ‘virtual’ horse races.

  • Better Buses, Better Cities: How to Plan, Run, and Win the Fight for Effective Transit

    Imagine a bus system that is fast, frequent, and reliable, what would that change about where you live? Buses can and should be the cornerstone of urban transportation. They offer affordable mobility and can connect citizens with every aspect of their lives. But in the UK, and US they have long been an afterthought in budgeting and planning. With a compelling narrative and actionable steps, Better Buses, Better Cities inspires us to fix the bus. Transport expert Steven Higashide shows us what a successful bus system looks like with real-world stories of reform, such as Houston redrawing its bus network overnight, and San Francisco revamping its boarding procedures. Higashide shows how to marshal the public in support of better buses and how new technologies can keep buses on time and make complex transit systems understandable. Higashide argues that better bus systems will create better cities for all citizens. The consequences of subpar transport services fall most heavily on vulnerable members of society.

  • Better Things: Materials for Sustainable Product Design

    How often have you seen a label on a product proclaiming it to be made from ‘recycled material’, ‘bioplastic’ or similar, without it giving any details of the concrete environmental benefits? What do these terms really mean? A drive for greater transparency and demonstrable environmental benefits is happening in product design, through emerging legislation and standards, and consumer demand for more sustainable products and unambiguous marketing.

    In Better Things: Materials for Sustainable Product Design, Daniel Liden seeks to tackle the lazy ‘greenwashing’ terminology we see every day, providing a guide for product designers, manufacturers and consumers wishing to make better and more informed decisions about materials. The book comprises six chapters devoted to material categories – plastics, textiles, metals, ceramics and glass, wood and paper – and a seventh chapter covering emerging sustainable technologies. Each chapter includes interviews with industry experts, as well as photos, diagrams, environmental impact data, general material properties and more.

  • Between the Chalk and the Sea: A journey on foot into the past

    08

    ‘I loved this memoir’ – Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path

    ‘A whole new way of looking at a familiar landscape’ – Neil Ansell, author of The Last Wilderness

    ‘Delightful’ – Country Life

    An old map. A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.

    When Henry VIII banned pilgrimage in 1538, he ended not only a centuries-old tradition of walking as an act of faith, but a valuable chance to discover the joy of walking as an escape from the burdens of everyday life.

    Much was lost when these journeys faded from our collective memory, but clues to our past remain. On an antique map in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, a faint red line threading through towns and villages between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.

    Described as England’s Camino, this long-distance footpath carves through one of the nation’s most iconic landscapes – one that links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports.

    Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. In the age of the car, what does it mean to embrace ‘slow travel’? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? In an age when walking connects the nation, can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?

    Winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, Gail ventures deep into our past, exploring this lost path and telling a story of kings and knights, peasants and pilgrims, of ancient folklore and modern politics. Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail’s walk along the Old Way reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

  • Between Two Fires

    08
    His extraordinary debut, Those Across the River, was hailed as “genre-bending Southern horror” (California Literary Review), “graceful [and] horrific” (Patricia Briggs). Now Christopher Buehlman invites readers into an even darker age—one of temptation and corruption, of war in heaven, and of hell on earth… And Lucifer said: “Let us rise against Him now in all our numbers, and pull the walls of heaven down…” The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm—that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned. As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.

  • Beware of Chicken 3: A Xianxia Cultivation Novel

    08
    A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about . . . farming????

    Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body.

    As Jin, I’m a man of the earth. A wielder of shovels and lord of rice and wheat. And sure, I also had to die and get pulled into another universe to end up here. But guess what? I’m starting to think it was worth it.

    I’ve somehow managed to get away from it all. Finally free of the bloodshed of cultivator fights, I figure I’ll live in the slow lane from here on out, my only real concern the rain—or lack thereof.

    Unfortunately, I’ve suddenly got a shady organization looking for me, my cat has gone off to fight in a martial arts tournament, and my chicken has uncovered an ancient crystal containing portents of doom. You know, the usual stuff.

    I’m not worried though. Sometimes trouble finds you. And while I may not be a master cultivator . . . trouble should know better than to mess with a farmer.

  • Beyond Bilal: Black Muslims in the East

    In Beyond Bilal: Black History in Islam, aside from Black history in the Qur’an and the black companions of the Prophet ﷺ we focused on the History of Islam in West Africa and the role Black Muslims played in the West. In this second volume, based on Mustafa Briggs lectures “Africans in Asia” and “Black History in the Arab World,” we will move eastward and explore the little discussed relationship between Africa and Asia and the Middle East.

    We will first look at Black History in the Arabian Peninsula, discovering the history of the legendary black heroes of pre-Islamic Arabia, who were some of the most well known poets, warriors, explorers and conquerors of Arabia. We will then explore the brilliant black intellectuals and revolutionaries who impacted the Islamic Empires of the Middle Ages, including the first Muftis of Makkah, Egypt and Syria, as well as some of the key narrators of hadith and early scholars in the Islamic Tradition.

    We will also delve into the spread of Islam in East Africa; from Sudan and Somalia all the way down to the Swahili Coast, and the stories of mighty kingdoms in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh that were ruled and shaped by East African kings, saints, and adventurers, the communities they developed, and the impact that their legacies have left on the region until the modern day.

  • Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens’ Workbook: Integrating CBT and DBT for Lasting Emotional Regulation and Personal Growth (Successful Parenting)

    01

    There are over 55,000 posts about #MentalHealth on TikTok, viewed by more than 188 million users. This shows that mental health awareness is becoming a hot topic for many young people.

    With all of this content flooding the internet, it is becoming easier for teens to find peers who are faced with similar psychological issues. But more often than not, they are still left confused about how to respond to these challenges in positive ways.
    What seems to be lacking isn’t education about stress or anxiety, but rather effective cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills to confront obstacles head on. Above and beyond the guidance offered by friends, parents, and schoolteachers, teens can also benefit from learning how to improve their reactions to stressful situations.
    Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens’ Workbook is an easy-to-use self-directed therapy workbook that can help teenagers aged 13–19 practice core CBT and DBT skills from the comfort of their own bedrooms.
    Yes, that’s right! In this digital age, where there is an app for virtually everything, and information is available at the touch of a button, therapy has become more affordable and accessible online!
    Several studies have proven the success of both CBT and DBT in managing stress, regulating strong emotions, and modifying behaviors—and the best part is that the same skills taught in a counseling room can be practiced at home too!
    Over the course of 5 chapters, 28 journal prompts, and 50 exercises, teens can look forward to learning:

    • The power of the pause when sensing triggers and managing impulsive urges.
    • How to identify and detach from unwanted thoughts and emotions.
    • Strategies on how to define, brainstorm, and implement solutions for everyday life problems.
    • How to develop self-respect through boundary setting and positive conflict resolution.

    The purpose of this workbook is to mentally prepare teens for unexpected and ongoing stressful situations they may face at home or at school. Through a powerful combination of CBT and DBT skills, they will be able to walk away with knowledge on how to reflect, reframe, and readjust their thoughts and emotions to achieve desired goals.

  • Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World

    08

    In 1999 His Holiness The Dalai Lama published the bestselling Ancient Wisdom: Modern World, which addressed the question of ethics for the new millennium. A decade later, His Holiness enters the contemporary debate about religion vs atheism, and returns to the theme of ethics with a major new work: Beyond Religion: ethics for a whole world.

    In this thought-provoking new book he argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity. Aimed particularly at the general reader, Beyond Religion: ethics for a whole world is a modern-day polemic which outlines those ethics he believes should be central to our lives.

  • Beyond Right and Wrong: Introductory Medical Ethics for Students and Healthcare Professionals

    01
    In “Beyond Right and Wrong”, we guarantee to provide crucial insight into the nature of modern medical practice and ethical practice and illuminate modern medicine’s ethical foundations. We provide practical ways to approach routine and complex ethical challenges by equipping readers with the foundational knowledge necessary. This short text is intended for students in all healthcare fields, from medical students, nurses and paramedics to technicians, healthcare assistants and management. Juniors of all roles will benefit from insights in this text, and senior medical and nursing consultants have also been glowing in their feedback.

    No matter what job title or level of responsibility, one of the most complex parts of working in the healthcare field is the management of ethical dilemmas. Those often ‘hard to put into words’ tensions between what one side wants or thinks they want and what you or others think is best. Arguably, managing such issues is part of routine training, yet often, the advice seems token at best and downright useless at worst.

  • Beyond That, the Sea: A Novel

    01

    “Spence-Ash has written the novel in eight points of view, but each character is utterly three-dimensional and distinct. This debut novel captivated me from start to finish.”
    —Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton Series

    A sweeping, tenderhearted love story, Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash tells the story of two families living through World War II on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and the shy, irresistible young woman who will call them both her own.

    As German bombs fall over London in 1940, working-class parents Millie and Reginald Thompson make an impossible choice: they decide to send their eleven-year-old daughter, Beatrix, to America. There, she’ll live with another family for the duration of the war, where they hope she’ll stay safe.

    Scared and angry, feeling lonely and displaced, Bea arrives in Boston to meet the Gregorys. Mr. and Mrs. G, and their sons William and Gerald, fold Bea seamlessly into their world. She becomes part of this lively family, learning their ways and their stories, adjusting to their affluent lifestyle. Bea grows close to both boys, one older and one younger, and fills in the gap between them. Before long, before she even realizes it, life with the Gregorys feels more natural to her than the quiet, spare life with her own parents back in England.

    As Bea comes into herself and relaxes into her new life—summers on the coast in Maine, new friends clamoring to hear about life across the sea—the girl she had been begins to fade away, until, abruptly, she is called home to London when the war ends.

    Desperate as she is not to leave this life behind, Bea dutifully retraces her trip across the Atlantic back to her new, old world. As she returns to post-war London, the memory of her American family stays with her, never fully letting her go, and always pulling on her heart as she tries to move on and pursue love and a life of her own.

    As we follow Bea over time, navigating between her two worlds, Beyond That, the Sea emerges as a beautifully written, absorbing novel, full of grace and heartache, forgiveness and understanding, loss and love.

Clients want constant meetings, phone calls, email requests, and they expect miracles. It can feel like you have 100 different bosses. Bad clients lead to burnout and can take down your entire agency. It’s a lot of stress and anxiety.

    The competition is happy to undercut you. People often say, “This industry SUCKS! It’s an insane amount of work, clients are mostly terrible, and every day you will have to deal with 10 different problems.” Of course, there is a better and simpler way.

It works without paid ads on Facebook, Google, and Youtube or without complicated funnels, webinars, and tech.

    This book gives you freedom and flexibility to travel and see the world without being tethered to a phone. If you want both a highly successful digital marketing agency and a life at the same time, this book is for you.
