We love to believe in a meritocracy of ideas – that greatness is always recognised, innovation always seized upon and rewarded. Yet so many of the people we now recognise as the world’s great creators initially got little traction for their work. It was only later, often much later, that their work comes roaring back to life and made a lasting impact. Discoveries as diverse as dark matter to continental drift, technologies from solar panels to the steam engine, artists from Brueghel to Vermeer to Melville all created ‘sleeping beauties’. Ranging across many centuries and the full scope of human endeavour, Byrne explores their stories and gives us a lens for identifying future breakthroughs. Humbling yet hopeful, these stories celebrate the courage to try new things and the wisdom to embrace them.
During the Cold War, the battle for ideological and economic supremacy was fought on every front. At the heart of the US’s campaign to inoculate the world against Communism and advance its own liberal democratic ideals was the CIA’s Congress of Cultural Freedom – an organisation that was as clandestine as it was powerful. Drawing on declassified documents and exclusive interviews, this book exposes the astonishing secret campaign to deploy some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom in the West (including Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Robert Lowell, George Orwell, and Jackson Pollock) as instruments – whether they knew it or not, whether they liked it or not – of America’s secret service. One of the great stories of intellectual and artistic corruption by power, this work is a classic of investigative history and a landmark portrait of a period when politics and culture became dangerously intertwined.

Stephen Sackur is one of the most respected news journalists in the country. For nearly 20 years, as the lead presenter of the BBC’s HARDtalk, he deployed a fearless, forensic style of questioning as the programme’s inquisitor-in-chief. In ‘Hard Truth’, he issues a rallying cry for the vital and continuing role of investigative journalism in holding the powerful to account. From Daniel Ellsberg’s exposé of the Pentagon papers to Alexei Navalny’s anti-corruption fight in Russia – via the shocking murder of Daphne Caruana who took on systemic corruption in Malta – ‘Hard Truth’ highlights ten dramatic cases when brave journalists told truth to power, sometimes paying the ultimate price. In a world turned toxic by disinformation, where lies are weaponised and the truth is targeted, independent journalists are increasingly on the frontline of the fight to save democracy. This book demonstrates that it is a fight that can still be won.
There is no hotel in the world quite like Claridge’s. A byword for luxury, exclusivity and grandeur, it has, from its inception in 1812, showcased the finest traditions of British hospitality while continually demonstrating a flair for innovation and renewal. For generations of crowned heads, power brokers and celebrities, it has been the best – indeed, the only – place to stay in London. Few would dispute its right to be considered the Queen of Hotels and Hotel of Kings. In this comprehensive, lively and superbly readable account, Martin Williams invites readers to check in at the world’s most storied hotel and immerse themselves in the colourful history of a London landmark. He evokes the glamour, excitement and drama of each chapter in Claridge’s unfolding story while taking us behind the scenes to explain how and why it has become, for all who know and love it, both a legend and a way of life.
We all have baggage in life: negative habits and thoughts that we have often picked up through tough times, disappointing circumstances and relational let downs. We may know that these things are weighing us down, but they seem to sneak into our minds anyway. Ultimately, we can be left feeling drained from the happiness and confidence that we long for. Bear Grylls knows the importance of building a mental resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Drawing on his own experience, along with the emotional health expertise of Will Van Der Hart, Bear offers inspiring words and probing questions to help you start your day well. With short daily readings, ‘Mind Fuel’ will equip you with the tools that are needed to build mental resilience for each new day.
In his first solo title, Si King shares the food he cooks and eats at home: honest, unfussy dishes built for real life, real budgets and real families. This is Si at his most practical and generous – packed with tips, shortcuts and hard-won wisdom he’s gathered over a lifetime at the stove. From weekday workhorses and store-cupboard raids to feeding a full house, these recipes prove that eating well doesn’t have to cost a fortune or take all evening. With more than 100 triple-tested recipes, Si shows that a little know-how and a handful of good ingredients go a long way – and that the best food is nearly always the simplest. Alongside the recipes, Si shares the personal stories, memories and kitchen wisdom that have shaped a lifetime of cooking for the people he loves.
Beneath the oceans, a war is quietly unfolding – a battle over the pipelines and digital cables that carry the oil, gas and data modern life depends on. These invisible networks, stretching across the globe, are vital, and increasingly under threat. We must pay attention, before it’s too late. In ‘The Undersea War,’ award-winning journalist Elisabeth Braw exposes the frontlines of this hidden conflict. Minute by minute, hour by hour, she recounts incidents with nail-biting suspense: mysterious damage to undersea cables, shadowy ships loitering near pipelines and the growing realization that these vital arteries may be deliberately targeted.
This work examines how and why the Kop became the globally-renowned stand it is today. It is told through the eyes of Brian Reade, an award-winning journalist, author and Anfield regular for 60 years, the majority spent on the Kop where he is still a season-ticket holder. In that time he has witnessed, and written about, all the highs and lows of Britain’s most successful football club. Reade traces the Kop’s history back to the South African hill it was named after and unearths astonishing parallels between that ‘acre of massacre’ in which Merseyside soldiers were killed and the Hillsborough Disaster almost a century later.
