Fantastic Kingdom
£25.00A respected historian of the British Empire closes the chasm between how the British see themselves and how they are actually seen abroad. The United Kingdom is a country that evokes strong opinions but frequently escapes rigorous definition. Seen from the outside, it is a wildly contradictory place. One of the world’s strongest economies, where inequality is rampant. Famous for its pageantry and traditions, but selective about remembering its imperial past. By diving into its many paradoxes, Helene von Bismarck reveals why the political debate in – and, internationally, about – the United Kingdom has for years been driven by people who talk past, rather than with, each other.

The Honeymoon Suite
£20.00Amalfi Coast, 1961. Beautiful young bride Clara Carmichael and her wealthy new husband Spencer arrive on the Amalfi Coast. A glorious month of dazzling blue seas, lemon trees heavy with fruit, and their sparkling, marble-clad honeymoon suite stretches ahead of them. For the newlyweds, the days slip by in a haze of boat rides, sun-bathing on the private beach, and cocktails beneath a star-studded sky. It’s paradise – until a note is slipped under their door, and everything unravels. In black ink, the message is unmistakable: He’s lying to you. Suddenly, Clara questions everything. Why does Spencer seem so familiar with their hotel? Why does she have the feeling she’s being watched? As she winds through the twists and turns of Amalfi Coast’s sun-bleached alleyways and jagged cliffs, Clara is forced to confront the truth: the man she married may not be who he says he is. And the closer she gets to the answers, the more danger she’s in.

Power Play
£25.00Video games are the world’s largest entertainment medium: they are played by billions of people, across all age demographics, and they generate hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue every year. But video games are more than an entertainment product – they are an ecosystem that connects billions of people across the globe. Video games create spaces where people talk, share ideas and build identities that bleed into our reality. And whilst democracies have underestimated the potential for influence in this space, others have seized the opportunity. Supported by the insights of dozens of politicians, academics and industry experts, it’s the vital guide to understanding this new frontier for political influence, and what democracies must do to protect play and harness its immense power before this essential battle for digital influence is lost for good.

Hide!
£12.99Once, a long time ago, a tiny meteorite fell through the sky and hit Duck-billed Platypus with a BONK on her head. ‘Oh, no!’ cried Duck-billed Platypus. ‘The sky is falling down! QUICK!

And yet, the sky kept falling down. It was a calamity! A catastrophe! It was surely the end of the world! There was only one thing for it – Duck-pilled Platypus would have to leave the dinosaurs and find somewhere to hide on her own.
