We 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.

Every weekend Bea goes to visit her grandmother, and Granny treats her to an afternoon of special things, like going to the movies and shopping. Bea is always sad to leave at the end of the weekend because she worries that Granny will be lonely without her. So Bea comes up with a plan to keep Granny company during the week: a cat! Granny is a little confused because she doesn’t remember mentioning that she likes cats, so she asummes that Bea must want a cat around when she visits. And in doting grandmother fashion, ‘what’s better than one cat?’ she reasons – more cats! Suddenly Granny’s apartment is overcrowded, smelly, and worst of all, the cats tear apart Bea’s stuffed animal. It’s a pure CATastrophe and Bea has got to put a stop to it to get her special weekends with Granny back.

Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? Against abortion? For drug legalisation? We might like to think that we’re tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own – even if they might have something useful to contribute to the debate. That means we’re falling victim to what behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan defines as Beliefism – discrimination against those with different beliefs to us. Drawing on the evidence from across the social sciences, Dolan shows how easy it is for us to divide ourselves into opposing camps – and how harmful that can be. Using the central metaphor of the duck-rabbit illusion – where the same image can be viewed as one animal or the other – the book shows that looking at an issue from only one perspective can lead to bad decisions and unnecessary conflict.

Most of us have some idea about game theory. Concepts like zero-sum games and the prisoner’s dilemma crop up in films, novels and casual conversation, often as shorthand for cut-throat competition or inevitable betrayal. But game theory, the science behind these ideas, is widely misunderstood. All too often it’s seen solely as the science of conflict and greed. In fact, this field has a lot to teach us about how to make a better world. It shows us just what it takes to enable cooperation and mutual benefit. This essential primer presents twenty one ‘life lessons from game theory’, which illustrate the key ideas in the field, and which are packed with real world examples: from overfishing in the Atlantic; to the Cuban Missile Crisis; to security measures at international airports; to advertising wars between major brands.

Babylon often appears more myth than history. Purportedly the site of the Hanging Gardens and the Tower of Babel, its infamous presence in the Bible has made it a byword for sinful decadence. But Babylon was a real place teeming with life, a bustling mega-city on the Euphrates where schoolteachers, artisans, priests, slaves, prostitutes and soldiers rubbed shoulders in maze-like streets and busy marketplaces. The city was home to some extraordinary rulers, from Hammurabi the great lawgiver to Nebuchadnezzar II, the conqueror-king, under whose reign the city glistened in gold and lapis lazuli. In this book, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones brings the city vividly to life, tracing its foundation through to its world domination, and subsequent decline, fall and ruin into dust.
