Love triangle
£24.85What happens when you pull a pop song apart into pure sine waves and play it back on a piano? What did mathematicians have to do with the great pig stampede of 2012? The answer to each of these questions can be found in the triangle. Humans have been using triangles for thousands of years to build structures, measure the earth, make music, paint vanishing points, pot snooker balls and much, much more. But trigonometry is not a thing of the past – triangles underpin all of modern data technology. When someone Snapchats a photo, the light travels into the camera as electromagnetic sine waves, Fourier analysis compresses the image and then trigonometry is used to send the data to someone else’s phone; when you listen to a track on Spotify, triangles remove the sounds which a human ear can’t perceive and reassemble the song so that it’s small enough to stream.

What about men?
£10.99As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is ‘But what about men’? After 11 years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn’t quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men. So, what about men? Caitlin asks many questions, including the biggest one of all: is it, as many young men claim, harder to be a man than a woman in the 21st century? And is so – why?

The British bloke, decoded
£10.99Writer, comedian and regular bloke, Geoff Norcott peels back the layers of blokedom, revealing the truth behind the sometimes inexplicable behaviour of Britain’s husbands, dads and brothers. Based on 46 years of field research and almost scientific insights, Geoff digs deep into subjects as wide as: the value of banter, the surprising roots of mansplaining, the near impossibility of getting blokes to send birthday cards, and whether there could be a medal system for hoovering. And ultimately, he concludes that whilst the toxic men have been grabbing all the publicity – perhaps now’s the time to celebrate the simple British bloke in all his eccentric splendour.

Beastly
£10.99Animals have shaped our lives, our land, our civilisation, and they will shape our future. Yet as our impact on the world and the animals we share it with increases, there has never been a greater urgency to understand this foundational relationship. ‘Beastly’ is the 40,000-year story of animals and humans as it has never been captured before, seen eye-to-eye and claw-to-hand through those humans who have stepped into the myriad worlds of our animal relatives. Our relationship with animals has always been paradoxical, but the greatest paradox may yet be this: diversity of life can heal ecosystems. Animals – if given the chance – could save us.
