‘First Born Daughter’ is for anyone who was born into the role of unpaid family manager or simply suffers from hyper independence as a trauma response. It’s part social commentary, part survival guide for daughters, and an exploration of the psychology and reality of what it means to be a woman, a wife and a daughter today.
‘There Is No Place For Us’ plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, author Brian Goldstone follows parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. Each family aspires to provide a decent life for their children, and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, ‘There Is No Place for Us’ illuminates the true magnitude, causes and consequences of the new American homelessness, and provides hope in the form of these families’ love for each other and their resilience in the face of huge challenges.

For over twenty years Christian Horner built and ran Red Bull Racing, transforming a rookie team acquired for 1 into one of the leading forces in Formula 1. Inspired by the company’s unofficial motto, ‘No Risk, No Fun’, Horner’s Red Bull rewrote the rulebook, broke longstanding records, won fourteen World Championship titles and created a global sporting franchise now worth billions. ‘Drive’ tells that story. From Christian’s childhood passion for speed to his career as a racing driver, to his appointment as the youngest team principal in F1 history. It exposes the incredible pressures of that role, the psychological demands negotiated during each race, and the instinctive decision-making required to win (and win again) in a sport of maximum risk with the very finest of margins.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a born leader-bold, charismatic, and able to charm his peers and disarm critics with nothing more than a witty phrase and a winning smile. He was also obsessive, manipulative, and haunted by his complex desires. More than drugs, JFK was addicted to shiny, remarkable women, collecting them voraciously and carelessly on his rise to the White House and beyond. Once one entered his orbit, she might become his secret lover, his trusted helpmate, or his close confidant – only to be summarily dismissed when she no longer suited his needs. But these women were perhaps the only witnesses to the real JFK – the private man outside the glare of the spotlight – and it’s time their stories were finally told. In ‘Ladies’ Man’, Laurence Leamer reveals the harrowing, definitive life of JFK, from his early years to his shocking assassination, through the lens of these diverse, fascinating women he surrounded himself with.
When Delia Smith first began writing, the industrial revolution, two world wars, food rationing and the removal of cookery lessons from schools interrupted those skills being handed down through generations. Her goal then was to help reinstate the basics of cooking and to remove people’s fear. The response was huge change. Her work was so influential that she had her own entry in the dictionary – ‘doing a Delia’. In this book Delia shares with us what she has learned from a long and eventful life, from navigating London as a teenager to watching pasta being made by the Mediterranean sea. She reflects on what it means to be a human person, how goodness and kindness are eclipsed by oppression and confusion and that true politics can only come from the people. Short, moving and powerful, these nine essays will change the way you think about our future.
An arresting visual tour of the great sites of ancient Greece, told through its city states and the monuments they built to endure through the ages. ‘We have raised … monuments that those alive today look on with wonder, as those in generations still to come will wonder, too.’ More than 2,000 years later, the words uttered by the Athenian politician Pericles have been proven correct many times over. Ancient Greece continues to captivate, and its monuments still inspire awe. But what is it that makes something ‘Greek’? Exploring ancient Greece through its monuments – from the Parthenon in Athens to the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi and the Temple of Zeus at Olympia – classicist David Stuttard reveals the values that united the disparate Greek world and made their mark on history. New digital reconstructions bring ancient Greece to life via buildings and monuments that still survive and can be visited today.
A long period of peace and stable relations between the world’s most powerful nations is coming to an end. Major wars have broken out in Europe and the Middle East, tensions are rising in East Asia, world leaders have spoken publicly about the possibility of a Third World War and intelligence agencies have never seen the world in a more dangerous and precarious state. Making use of Rachman’s unique, unparalleled access to leaders in political and intelligence spheres around the globe and full of extremely well-informed and insightful analysis, ‘War is Interested in You’ explores how we got to this point in global affairs and, crucially, what happens next – in this case, the increasing risk of global conflict.
Welcome, monster hunter! If you hold this book, then you seek knowledge few dare to face. For ages uncounted, I – Bai Ze, wanderer and keeper of beast-lore – have studied the monsters that haunt our myths. I have watched the fiery Boitata coil through burning forests, glimpsed the vast Kraken thrashing beneath stormy seas and traced the roots of creatures long spoken of in whispers. Their bodies tell stories; their bones carry truths. Within these pages, you will find careful drawings that reveal how each creature is shaped, how it survives and why it lingers in the tales of humankind. My anatomical findings will show you what lies beneath fang, scale and shadow, capturing the spirit, power and mystery of every beast.
‘Surprising, original and compelling’ RORY STEWART
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – also known simply as ‘William and Kate’ – have done as much as anyone to bring the royal family into the twenty-first century, and to keep it firmly in the national consciousness. The birth of their first child, Prince George in 2013 fuelled such a worldwide media and public frenzy that it became the most talked-about event of the year, stoked by a natural affection for the young couple. With the births of Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018, the family have cemented their place as the future of the modern royal family. Charting the young couple’s romantic relationship through to present day, this in-depth book chronicles the next chapters in this modern fairy tale.

Mat Watson knows everything there is to know about cars. In his 25-year career as a motor journalist, he has driven and tested every vehicle under the sun, from engineering marvels such as the Bugatti Chiron and Ferrari F50, to the grand-touring stalwarts of highways and motorways the world over – Audis, Volvos, Fords, Fiats, Citroens, Mercedes and Teslas – to absolute crapheaps which should never have made it out of the factory gates. He has crawled into hundreds of boots, peered under thousands of bonnets, kicked tens of thousands of tyres, and has perfected a nose for what makes a beautiful, brilliant and, sometimes truly atrocious, car. In ‘Auto Biography’, his long-awaited first book, Mat presents his own 100% completely correct and highly opinionated guide to the world of cars.
