Ailbhe Malone

This book believes that you're worth looking after  even when you don't. 

101 Tiny Changes to Brighten Your Day is a friendly book of tips on how to look after yourself and your mental health, in an age where we too often forget to pause and take a breath.

With small actions, you can make a big improvement to your well-being – whether it’s making your phone a source of positivity instead of stress, engaging in habits that make you feel healthier and more positive, or preparing for darker days. 

Ailbhe Malone’s simple tips combine with witty illustrations from Naoise Dolan to create a resource you’ll dip into whenever you need a helping hand.
A totem for your bedside table, backpack, or to give to a friend in need, this book believes that you’re worth looking after, even when you don’t.

30-Second Evolution

30-Second Evolution (Paperback)

The 50 most significant ideas and events, each explained in half a minute

Mark Fellowes

Nicholas Battey

Adapt or die: it’s nature’s most famous imperative. But how does evolution actually happen? It’s too slow to see, but it’s going on all around you, all the time. Even if you’re on top of the key terms – variation? Natural selection? Parent-offspring conflict? – you still need some context to put them in. 

From populations to speciation and polymorphism to evolutionary psychology, here’s the one-stop source for all you need to know. 

Evolution unlocks the laboratory of life, dissecting it into the 50 most significant topics that provide the missing links to understand the natural world’s four-billion-year ancestry and the process of natural selection in which species either adapt in myriad ways – mutation, ingenuity, and intelligence – to meet the challenges of a changing environment, or die. Unravel the development of living organisms, at micro and macro level – from genes to geniuses.



Mark Fellowes is Head of the School of Biological Sciences and Nicholas Battey is Head of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Reading, England. 

Together, their expertise spans the diversity of their subject: Professor Battey’s background is in cells, genes, and plants; Professor Fellowes’s is in ecology, evolution, animals, and the interactions between species.

Not your typical sex advice guide…

This friendly guide takes a radical approach: it puts your experience at the heart of the book, and invites you to explore what might be enjoyable to you.

Written in an engaging and thoughtful style, it challenges the messages we receive about ‘normal’ sex; looks at how to understand and care for yourself; delves into ideas of pleasure for different bodies, ages and tastes; explores relationships; and tackles the tricky topics of communication and consent.

So, throw out the rule book and learn to listen to your own desires.

specialising in sex, gender and relationships. A senior lecturer in
psychology at the Open University and a UKCP accredited psychotherapist,
Meg-John is also the author of Rewriting the Rules (Routledge, 2018)
and Queer: A Graphic History (Icon, 2016).

and relationships educator working with young people and adults since
1999. His website BISHuk.com is one of the leading sex and relationships
advice websites for over-14s and is sponsored by Durex UK. Justin is

‘Aims to provide the kind of practical sex advice you'd never find in Cosmo.’Frankie Mullin, VICE
‘An inclusive guide to "doing it", whatever your body type or sexuality … Shines a light on bodies and our relationships with ourselves and others, while plugging the gap in sex education to include non-heterosexual relationships by moving beyond PIV, or penis-in-vagina, sex.’Independent

A Practical Guide to Body Language

A Practical Guide to Body Language (Paperback)

Read & Send the Right Signals

Glenn Wilson

Let your body do the talking.

Whether we're aware of it, or not, our bodies say a lot about us and how we're feeling. From interviews to dates, the boardroom to the stage, being aware of the non-verbal signals you, and others, send can have a huge impact on your relationships and success in life – for better or worse.

Full of real-world and pop-cultural examples, practical tips and strategies, and underpinned by principles from psychological and social experiments, you'll learn how to 'read' the body language of others, and how to project the right signals, so you can put your best face, and body, forwards.



Glenn Wilson is a Consultant Psychologist in London and a Fellow of the British Psychological Society. Previously he was Professor of Psychology at Gresham College, London. He specialises in personality, interpersonal attraction and reading body language.

30-Second Twentieth Century

30-Second Twentieth Century (Paperback)

The 50 most significant ideas and events, each explained in half a minute

Jonathan T. Reynolds

You probably know, or think you know, quite a bit about what happened in the 20th century – chances are, if you’re reading this, you lived through at least some of it – and you may have referenced the Cuban Missile Crisis, the double helix, or the Wall Street Crash in conversation. But even for people who were there, it was the fastest-moving hundred years in history, so refresh your memory with these pacey profiles on everything from Sputnik to Stonewall.

30-Second Twentieth Century presents a unique approach to modern history, condensing 100 years of innovation and art, politics and conflict, triumph and disaster, into 50 graphic snapshots that offer an instant appreciation of the way the world revolves and evolves. 

Consider which events define a period of history and why. From the Red Army to Black Monday, from Woodstock to the World Wide Web, this is the fastest way to travel in time.



Editor Jonathan T. Reynolds is Professor of History at Northern Kentucky University, USA. He is a Fulbright Scholar, and has received the Aggrey Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Milburn Outstanding Professor Award. He is the author of several books, including Africa in World History (with Erik Gilbert) and Sovereignty and Struggle: Africa and Africans in the Era of the Cold War. He teaches courses in African History, History of Imperialism, World History, the History of Food and Historical Methodology.

Surveillance Valley

Surveillance Valley (eBook)

The Secret Military History of the Internet

Yasha Levine

** Featured as a Guardian Long Read **

'[A] fast-paced, myth busting exposé' Max Blumenthal, author of The Management of Savagery

'Contentious… forceful… salutary' The New Yorker

EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC NATURE OF THE INTERNET IS A MARKETING PLOY.

As the Cambridge Analytica scandal has shown, private corporations consider it their right to use our data (and by extension, us) which ever way they see fit. Tempted by their appealing organisational and diagnostic tools, we have allowed private internet corporations access to the most intimate corners of our lives.

But the internet was developed, from the outset, as a weapon.

Looking at the hidden origins of many internet corporations and platforms, Levine shows that this is a function, not a bug of the online experience.

Conceived as a surveillance tool by ARPA to control insurgents in the Vietnam War, the internet is now essential to our lives. This book investigates the troubling and unavoidable truth of its history and the unfathomable power of the corporations who now more or less own it.

Without this book, your picture of contemporary society will be missing an essential piece of the puzzle.

'A masterful job of research and reporting about the military origins of the 'world wide web' and how its essential nature has not changed in the years since its creation during the Cold War.' – Tim Shorrock, author of Spies For Hire

More Than Happiness

More Than Happiness (Paperback)

Buddhist and Stoic Wisdom for a Sceptical Age

Antonia Macaro

‘This groundbreaking study provides a much-needed  philosophical framework for those practising mindfulness  as well as a call to recover the pragmatic and therapeutic dimensions of philosophy.’ – Stephen Batchelor, author of After Buddhism and Secular Buddhism

Modern readers tend to think of Buddhism as spending time alone meditating, searching for serenity.  Stoicism calls to mind repressing our emotions in order to help us soldier on through adversity. But how  accurate are our popular understandings of these traditions? And what can we learn from them without either buying in  wholeheartedly to their radical ideals or else transmuting them into simple self-improvement regimes that bear little  resemblance to their original aims?

How can we achieve more than happiness?

In More than Happiness, Antonia Macaro delves into both philosophies, focusing on the elements that fit with our sceptical age, and those which have the potential to make the biggest impact on how we live. From accepting that some things are beyond our control, to monitoring our emotions for unhealthy reactions, to shedding attachment to material things, there is much, she argues, that we can take and much that we’d do better to leave behind.

In this synthesis of ancient wisdom, Macaro reframes the ‘good life’, and gets us to see the world as it really is and to question the value of the things we desire. The goal is more than happiness: living ethically and placing value on the right things in life. 



Antonia Macaro is an existential psychotherapist, co-author of The Shrink and the Sage, and author of Reason, Virtue and Psychotherapy. She has many years’ clinical experience in the field of addictive behaviours. Antonia has a degree in Oriental Studies and an MA in Philosophy, and was part of the UK’s philosophical counselling movement from its early days.


Both practical and informative, this groundbreaking study of the extraordinary resonances between early Buddhism and Stoic philosophy provides a much-needed philosophical framework for those practising mindfulness as well as a call to recover the pragmatic and therapeutic dimensions of philosophy that have long been overlooked in the Western tradition.Stephen Batchelorauthor of After Buddhism and Secular Buddhism

Salah (eBook)

Cyril Collot

Luca Caioli

Mohamed Salah needed little time to settle in to life at Liverpool.
 

Since signing for the Anfield club in 2017 for a then-club record fee, he has broken the club’s scoring record for a debut season, as well as becoming the leading goalscorer in Europe’s top five leagues, overtaking Lionel Messi and Harry Kane. 

He was the first player to ever win three Premier League Player of the Month awards in the same season and was the winner of the PFA Player’s Player of the Year for 2017–18, scoring 32 goals in 36 league games. 

In this biography of the Egypt and Liverpool star, bestselling authors Luca Caioli and Cyril Collot examine his rise to success. Up to date with Russia World Cup 2018 analysis and featuring exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes details.
