Motherhood
£8.95What does it mean to be a mother? At once intimate and immense, motherhood is one of the most universal – and most misunderstood – human experiences. Too often reduced to something purely domestic, it is a force that shapes economies, politics, culture and the future itself – whether or not we have children. From the biology of pregnancy and the science of breastfeeding to the politics of care, abortion rights and reproductive justice, this clear, accessible introduction explores the history, myths, pressures and contradictions of motherhood today.

All About My Mother
£25.00An icon at twenty-seven and voted sexiest woman of all time forty years later, Diana Rigg was Emma Peel, the catsuited Avenger and 007’s only wife. She was equally unforgettable as Medea, Mother Courage, Mrs Danvers and Game of Thrones’ Queen of Thorns. Stephen Sondheim wrote a song for her; Ted Hughes translated a play; Laurence Olivier called her ‘Tits Rigg’. She fearlessly fought for equal pay and took the Daily Mail to court for their campaign against her (winning both times). Always witty and direct, when asked what it meant to become a dame, she replied, ‘I think it means I’m not supposed to say ‘fuck anymore’. Offstage, she was a gloriously naughty, deeply loving, take-no-prisoners mother to her only child, Rachael Stirling. Little surprise that Rachael became an actress – here she shows that she is a writer too. ‘All About My Mother’ is both a showstopping mother-daughter memoir and the vivid life of a legend all rolled into one

Despots
£22.00Since his re-election as US president, Donald Trump has made good on things he only dreamed of accomplishing in his first term. In six short months he had smashed constitutional constraints, trampled on free speech, suborned the judiciary, demonised the media and crushed protests on the streets. He secured the backing of America’s oligarchs and inflated his personal wealth. US foreign policy is no longer based on values but on greed, while at home his administration has intervened in the almost every area of people’s daily lives, bringing the National Guard into America’s cities. According to Martin Sixsmith, BBC’s Moscow Correspondent when Vladimir Putin came to power, it all looks eerily familiar to what Russia went through in the 1990s. ‘Despots’ is Sixsmith’s exploration of two aspiring dictators who came to power in nominally electoral democracies, then dismantled the pillars of democracy from within.
