As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4000 accused, and with many women’s fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning. Inspired to correct this historic injustice, campaigners and writers Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree. In order to understand why it happened, they have broken down the entire horrifying process, step-by-step, from identification of individuals, to their accusation, ‘pricking’, torture, confessions, execution and beyond.

As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods. If you don’t throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can’t throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You’re tied up. Full of anxiety about the future. This book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle. All of the ’50 Things’ included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise.

Even by the standards of an industry stacked with so-called visionary leaders, Demis Hassabis is recognized as a special case. His journey to pursue the dream of super-human intelligence has taken him from working-class origins in North London to the founding of revolutionary AI company DeepMind to a Nobel Prize. Unlike many of his Silicon Valley peers, his goals are not money and power but scientific enlightenment. For the past several years, Sebastian Mallaby has had unprecedented access to Hassabis and DeepMind. In this book, he offers an unrivalled window into the AI revolution, a transformation potentially more significant than any since we gained a capacity for abstract thought 70,000 years ago.

Does political rhetoric on immigration policy match what is actually happening on the ground? Why do well-intentioned plans fail? Could immigration policy be done better? This book explores what immigration policy seeks to achieve and why so many people end up unhappy with the outcome. Drawing on decades of research and examples from high-income countries around the world, it exposes the unavoidable trade-offs governments face, and the impacts of their choices on people and communities. It reveals how we got here, why the policy challenge is so difficult, and how we get to a better place.
