The Zorg
£10.99‘The Zorg’ tells the astonishing yet little-known story of one of the most consequential ships that ever crossed the Atlantic. Its fateful voyage in 1781 distils centuries of the Atlantic slave trade into a single journey which altered the course of history.

Made in America
£11.99Trump’s second term, even more than his first, is often called ‘unprecedented’. But history shows that Trump & his policies are as American as apple pie. Much of what Donald Trump does seems maverick & even mad. His actions & policy pronouncements are a stark rupture from the American style of leadership that we have lived with all our lives. But whether we like them or not, his trade tariffs, his determination to deport tens of thousands of people, & his apparent contempt for the rule of law are deeply rooted in American history. Since Donald Trump took office plenty of people – on both sides of the Atlantic – have argued that he will destroy his country’s democracy. ‘Made in America’ shows how the ideal of liberty has been tested in past generations, from the first intolerant Pilgrims to the brutal invasion of Mexico, revealing the dark side of the American Dream in order to offer urgent lessons to our present.

A Fabulous Debt
£25.00Long considered the ‘boring’ corner of finance, bonds are anything but. They are bigger than the stock market and rival even the global banking system in influence. But they are also misunderstood – treated as mere debt, when in fact their impact is radically different. From medieval Venice to modern Wall Street, Robin Wigglesworth uncovers the a sweeping, unveiling story of the bond market. With clarity and wit, this is a people’s history of finance: rich in drama, full of colourful characters, and bursting with insights. Bonds have funded everything from the Crusades to climate tech, Netflix series to AI data centres. Pooling capital from citizens and merchants at an unmatched scale, they have been the hidden force behind some of humanity’s highest achievements and greatest calamities. This isn’t just a book about the past. It’s a guide to the future of the finance, and a love letter to the engine that keeps it running.

Britain’s Slave Traders
£25.00This work combines forensic new research with vivid and compelling narrative to provide an entirely new history of Britain that for the first time clarifies the true significance of the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans to Britain’s development as a modern nation. Between the birth of the trade in the 16th century and its abolition in 1807, Britain derived vast wealth from the traffic in Africans from West Africa to the Americas – but until now the people who conceived, designed and engineered that trade have been largely unknown to us. As a result, it has been impossible to trace where the wealth derived from slavery went, what purposes it was put to, who it empowered and what it enabled.

Hawking
£30.00Stephen Hawking was one of the world’s most remarkable thinkers – a brilliant theoretical physicist who, throughout his extraordinary career, expanded our understanding of the origins and structure of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even more remarkable is that none of this should have been possible: an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age predicted that Hawking only had two years to live, not long enough to complete his PhD. In this vividly written and exhaustively researched biography of Hawking, biographer and science writer Graham Farmelo explores how the young Stephen – desperate for his voice to be heard – defied the odds to become the most famous and revered scientist of his generation.

Empire at the Edge of the World
£25.001913, the Arctic circle. Charismatic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson is obsessed with a frozen speck of land in the Siberian Arctic: Wrangel Island. Believing that whoever possesses it would control the future – air routes, resources, even the balance of power in the northern hemisphere, he takes an impossible gamble. Dispatching a small, ill-equipped venture to stake a frozen colony in Britain’s name, it is a triumph of brilliance, ego and breathtaking hubris. What follows is a catastrophe of starvation, madness, and geopolitical risk. As winter seals the island in ice, relief ships fail to arrive and tensions among the colonists spiral toward despair. While diplomats spar and warships steam north, the settlers are left to endure scurvy, polar bears, and the terror of abandonment. At the centre of it all stands one unlikely survivor – a young Inuit seamstress who can outlast them all.
