At twelve years old, Kate Carey attends her aunt, Queen Anne Boleyn, to the scaffold. Horrified by what she witnesses, Kate is convinced that King Henry VIII has sent an innocent woman to a terrible death.

Departure(s): The new book from the Booker Prize-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author
Departure(s) is a work of fiction – but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
It is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.
It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?
It begins at the end of life – but it doesn’t end there. Ultimately, it’s about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.
‘Metafictional, moving, unmistakably Barnes’ OBSERVER
‘There’s no one quite like Julian Barnes’ GUARDIAN

The Laws of Thought: The Quest for a Mathematical Theory of the Mind
‘A must-read for anyone curious about how we think.’ Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators
From the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By, an exploration of the quest to use mathematics to describe the ways we think, from its origins three hundred years ago to the ideas behind modern AI systems and the ways in which they still differ from human minds.
Everyone has a basic understanding of how the physical world works. We learn about physics and chemistry in school, letting us explain the world around us in terms of concepts like force, acceleration, and gravity–the Laws of Nature. But we don’t have the same fluency with concepts needed to understand the world inside us–the Laws of Thought. While the story of how mathematics has been used to reveal the mysteries of the universe is familiar, the story of how it has been used to study the mind is not.
There is no one better to tell that story than Tom Griffiths, the head of Princeton’s AI Lab and a renowned expert in the field of cognitive science. In this groundbreaking book, he explains the three major approaches to formalizing thought–rules and symbols, neural networks, and probability and statistics–introducing each idea through the stories of the people behind it. As informed conversations about thought, language, and learning become ever more pressing in the age of AI, The Laws of Thought is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of technology.

So when she meets Flick, a young reporter who realizes this story could be the big break she’s been looking for, they set off to catch him as he goes on the run across Europe. After all, she’s got nothing left to lose, right?
But as the pair embark on the road trip of their lives, unexpected twists, hidden secrets and hard truths are revealed. And as an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, they realize it’s not just about finding the guy, it’s about finding themselves . . .

Strength can win any fight, but some wars can’t be fought with strength alone.
The world ended, and I never wanted to be emperor of the ruins. But power doesn’t ask for permission. If I don’t step up and put things right, someone worse will.
Since the integration, I’ve forged Crownhill from a shelter of desperate survivors into the heart of a budding empire. Now we can protect not just ourselves, but bring others under our banner for shelter and strength.
With our success have come schemers, parasites, and social climbers of all sorts. I can no longer afford to remain in my mountaintop castle, looking down at the world below. To keep what I’ve built safe, I’ll have to get my hands dirty and accept the throne I never wanted.
Some of Crownhill’s newer citizens have ambitious plans, and they’ll use my people as tools for personal gain if I let them.
Sakura’s father is out there, and we finally have a lead. I promised Sakura we’d find him, and I intend to make good on that promise.
My body still bears the lingering effects of draconification. If I want to avoid involuntarily transforming again, I’ll need to make careful preparations for A-Grade.
Most of all, though, Bridget is pregnant. The title of Emperor is scary enough. The title of father is even more terrifying.

Eugene Esmonde, V.C., D.S.O.: The Courageous Life of a Naval Aviator in World War Two (Heroes of the Skies Book 6)
The moving biography of a remarkable pilot who received a posthumous Victoria Cross for courageous but fatal actions during World War Two.This work should be essential reading for fans of naval aviation history and the unsung heroes of World War Two.
Although the Fleet Air Arm may not have been as glamorous as Fighter Command, the actions of men such as Eugene Esmonde demonstrate that its personnel were just as daring, facing similarly insurmountable odds in fighting for the Allied cause.
Chaz Bowyer, the renowned aviation historian, charts the course of Esmonde’s life — from his Catholic upbringing in Ireland, which shaped his worldview, to his training as a pilot in the Royal Air Force in the interwar years. Asked to join the newly formed Royal Naval Air Branch in January 1939, he entered the heat of the action shortly after war broke out.
Bowyer draws upon a wealth of research and interviews with Esmonde’s family and fellow air service men and women to provide a vivid account of his life through the war. He describes in detail Esmonde’s actions in the Narvik campaign, his leadership in an attack against the battleship Bismarck, and his service aboard HMS Ark Royal when it was struck by a torpedo — remaining aboard as the last to leave the ship before it sank. Yet it was during Operation Fuller that Esmonde’s full courage was displayed, earning a posthumous Victoria Cross during his desperate attempt to contain Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and Prinz Eugen during their famous Channel Dash.
‘This biography makes compulsive reading and the final chapters are most moving.’ Air Pictorial
‘This saga of unmatched courage and devotion to duty is movingly told.’ Guild of Air Pilots Journal
‘Compelling reading.’ Irish Independent
‘His high courage and splendid resolution will live in the traditions of the Royal Navy, and remain for many generations a fine and stirring memory.’ Victoria Cross Citation
Although Esmonde was ultimately unsuccessful in halting the battlecruisers and their escort — and was struck down in the attempt — his story remains an epic tale of the bravery men can summon even when all hope seems lost. This work will undoubtedly appeal to all interested in the war for the skies and seas during World War Two.

The Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World
‘A powerful alternative to burnout culture and digital distraction’ CHARLES DUHIGG, author of the bestsellers The Power of Habit and SupercommunicatorsAre the conveniences and distractions of modern life undermining your personal growth and ability to realise your true potential?
Each of us has an innate drive for progress and growth. It’s why we feel alive and fulfilled when we channel that drive into meaningful goals, be it starting a business, writing a book, learning an instrument, studying a craft or training for a marathon. Excellence is not a destination so much as an energising process of growth and becoming – one that yields our best performances and, every bit as important, our best selves. Except too often the hustle of our demanding, distracting and fad-driven lives works against us, leaving us frustrated, unfulfilled and unable to focus on what really matters.
Performance coach and international bestselling author Brad Stulberg offers a fascinating new theory of excellence and why our pursuit of it is integral to personal growth, satisfaction and lasting well-being. Stulberg will help you reclaim your excellence by teaching you how to define, live and work in alignment with your values, cultivate focus and concentration, prioritise consistency over intensity, build durable confidence, and develop the courage to care deeply.
Eye-opening, informative and empowering, The Way of Excellence will give you a new perspective on prioritising excellence and building a more fulfilling life around it.

The Score: How to Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game
‘Lucid, entertaining and precise… a brilliant warning about the gamification of everyday life’ Time Clare, Guardian
Is this the game you want to be playing?
Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions, corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what, we always seem to be playing by someone else’s rules.
In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly ‘gamified’ world has fundamentally captured our value systems, turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data, and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us.
A life-long lover of online and board games himself, Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power, so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.

Tito and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia
Few figures have dominated a nation’s destiny as much as Marshal Tito of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions the full impact of Tito’s reign of power and his implicit responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia.
‘Excellent … I recommend his book for those who already know about Yugoslavia and want food for thought about the future.’ David Owen, Sunday Times
‘Admirable … Carefully researched and extremely readable.’ Literary Review
‘A passionate book, in which West’s historical sense is interlaced with his own very intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia from the late 1940s on and of the poignancy of [subsequent] events.’ Fergus Pyle, Irish Times
‘Masterly’. Glasgow Herald

Departure(s): The new book from the Booker Prize-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author
Departure(s) is a work of fiction – but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
It is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.
It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?
It begins at the end of life – but it doesn’t end there. Ultimately, it’s about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

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.

Medium Rare
Phil is ordinary. A mid-level Washington lobbyist for a decidedly unsexy organization, unhappy in the way all mildly successful, minimally influential men are. That is until the spring of 2019, when Phil’s picks for the NCAA March Madness Tournament start panning out, and heads begin to turn his way. He really may do it: predict a perfect bracket, for a billion-dollar prize. At first, Cassandra is just along for Phil’s soaring rise – she had foreseen it happening, after all. Despite moving in different circles since their shared university days and Cassandra never much liking him, she recognizes in Phil the making of a legend worthy of the highest art. What Cassandra fails to predict, though, is just how much she’d grow to care about Phil’s wife, Raleigh – and that the grandest narrative arcs sometimes unfold at the steepest of personal costs. Dazzling in its absurd comedy, Medium Rare is not only a gambol through the upper echelon, but also a shrewd examination of madness, desire, and credibility – why don’t we listen when prophetic women speak? A. Natasha Joukovsky delivers a story as layered and incisive as it is high-flying fun.Read more

Henry VII (Penguin Monarchs): Treason and Trust
Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England’s rulers in a collectible format
Henry VII was one of England’s unlikeliest monarchs. An exile and outsider with barely a claim to the throne, his victory over Richard III at Bosworth Field seemed to many in 1485 only the latest in the sequence of violent convulsions among England’s nobility that would come to be known as the Wars of the Roses – with little to suggest that the obscure Henry would last any longer than his predecessor. To break the cycle of division, usurpation, deposition and murder, he had both to maintain a grip on power and to convince England that his rule was both rightful and effective. Here, Sean Cunningham explores how, in his ruthless and controlling kingship, Henry VII did so, in the process founding the Tudor dynasty.
