Homework
£11.99In this work, Geoff Dyer reflects on his childhood and what it means to come of age in England in the 60s and 70s, in a country shaped by the aftermath of the Second World War but accelerating towards change. He was born in Cheltenham in the late fifties, the only child of a dinner lady and a planning engineer. Raised in a working-class area, Geoff and his mates found much joy recreating battles with their beloved Tommy guns, kicking a beachball around until its untimely death, and collecting anything and everything they could find; football cards, conkers and Action Man figures. When Geoff passes his 11-plus exams he gets in to a Cheltenham Grammar School, a school which drastically changes the trajectory of his life.

We Need to Tax Billionaires
£9.99While ordinary citizens pay around half of their income in tax, billionaires pay often close to zero income tax – because they earn almost all their income through companies. The solution is the 2% ‘Zucman tax’: a minimum tax on the ultra-rich themselves, advocated by economist and global expert on the taxation of wealth Gabriel Zucman. We need to tax billionaires, and this book shows us why now is the moment.

Ball of the Century
£25.00This is the story of cricket’s most famous delivery, and the explosive power of its legacy. England would go on to lose every Ashes series that decade; by the summer of 1999, they were rated as the worst team in the world. It was only as a new century dawned that a brighter era began to surface, with the struggles of one decade spawning the redemption of the next. In this ride through nineties Britain, Ashes cricket, leg spin bowling, and the rise of a legend, this title explores how a single moment really can shape history.

A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived
£12.99This is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is to each of the 100 billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath. But it is also our collective story, because in every one of our genomes we each carry the history of our species – births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration and a lot of sex. In this captivating journey through the expanding landscape of genetics, Adam Rutherford reveals what our genes now tell us about human history, and what history can now tell us about our genes. From Neanderthals to murder, from redheads to race, dead kings to plague, evolution to epigenetics, this is a demystifying and illuminating new portrait of who we are and how we came to be.

The Buried City
£10.99Pompeii is a world frozen in time. There are unmade beds, dishes left drying, tools abandoned by workmen, bodies embracing with love and fear. And alongside the remnants of everyday life, there are captivating works of art: lifelike portraits, exquisite frescos and mosaics, and the extraordinary sculpture of a sleeping boy, curled up under a blanket that’s too small. ‘The Buried City’ reconstructs the catastrophe that destroyed Pompeii on 24 August 79 CE, and offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the city as it was before: who lived here, what mattered to them, and what happened in their final hours. It gives us a vivid sense of Pompeii’s continuing relevance, and proves that ancient history is much closer to us than we think.

Servus
£25.00We associate the Romans with majesty and greatness: we marvel at their straight roads and innovative underfloor heating, at the dominance of their army and navy, at the grandeur of their palaces and temples. But the Romans were also enslavers. They built an empire on the backs of millions of people snatched from their homes in the aftermath of war, kidnapped from the streets, sold into slavery as punishment or, simply, born enslaved. ‘Servus’ takes us into the invisible spaces of the Roman world, where millions of enslaved lives were unwillingly dedicated to the perpetuation of the empire that owned them.
