Peach Emma Glass Introducing a visionary new literary voice – a novel as poetic as it is playful, as bold as it is strangely beautiful

omething has happened to Peach. Blood runs down her legs and the scent of charred meat lingers on her flesh. It hurts to walk but she staggers home to parents that don’t seem to notice. They can’t keep their hands off each other and, besides, they have a new infant, sweet and wobbly as a jelly baby. Peach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green. But sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the gaping memory of a mouth, and working is hard when burning sausage fat fills her nostrils, and eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum. In this dazzling debut, Emma Glass articulates the unspeakable with breathtaking clarity and verve. Intensely physical, with rhythmic, visceral prose, Peach marks the arrival of a groundbreaking new talent.

Folk Zoe Gilbert A captivating, magical and haunting debut novel of breathtaking imagination, from the winner of the 2014 Costa Short Story Award

n a remote and unforgiving island lies a village unlike any other: Neverness.

While the villagers live out their own tales, enchantment always lurks, blighting and blessing in equal measure. Folk is a dark and sinuous debut circling the lives of one generation. In this world far from our time and place, the stories of the islanders interweave and overlap, their own folklore twisting fates and changing lives.

She chairs the Short Story Critique Group at Waterstones Piccadilly, co-hosts the Word Factory Short Story Club and is co-founder of London Lit Lab. Zoe Gilbert lives in London. @mindandlanguage

o Andy and his parents, it looks like any other carnival: creaking ghost train, rusty rollercoaster and circus performers. But of course it isn’t. Entering the hall of mirrors, Andy is hypnotised by the many selves staring back at him. Sometime later, one of those selves walks out and rejoins his parents – leaving Andy trapped inside the glass, snatched from his suburban home and transported to a world where the laws of gravity are meaningless and time performs acrobatic tricks. And now an identical stranger inhabits Andy’s life, unsettling his mother with a curious blankness. Carnivalesque is an intoxicating tale of adolescence, metamorphosis and identity.

A Shot in the Dark Lynne Truss The charming start of a new comic crime series set in Brighton, from one of Britain’s most-loved writers, Lynne Truss

fter the notorious ‘Middle Street Massacre’ of 1951, when the majority of Brighton’s criminals wiped one another out in a vicious battle as the local police force enjoyed a brief stop en route for an ice cream, Inspector Steine rather enjoys life as a policeman. No criminals, no crime, no stress. He just wishes Sergeant Brunswick would stop insisting that perhaps not every criminal was wiped out that fateful day. So it’s really rather annoying when an ambitious new constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it’s even more annoying when Constable Twitten is dispatched to the theatre and sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead partway through the opening night of a new play. It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all… Praise for Lynne Truss ‘Truss deserves to be piled high with honours’ Sunday Times

Lost Connections Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions

Johann Hari From New York Times bestselling author Johann Hari, a radically new way of thinking about depression and anxiety

hat really causes depression and anxiety – and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking antidepressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, he began to investigate whether this was true – and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong. Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Once he had uncovered the real causes, they led him to scientists who are discovering very different solutions – ones that work. Praise for Chasing the Scream

The Growth Delusion Why economists are getting it wrong and what we can do about it

David Pilling A revelatory book about how to correct the pitfalls of our economy, by an award-winning editor of the Financial Times

s measured by GDP, the economy is in a golden era. But if this is the case, why are we living in such fractured times, with global populism on the rise and wealth inequality as stark as ever? Revered by economists, GDP is considered evidence of a country’s success and well-being – but, Pilling argues, it’s actually totally inadequate. GDP likes crime because it is fond of large police forces. It likes Hurricane Katrina and is quite OK with wars. It is good at counting, but a pretty poor judge of quality. We prioritise GDP maximisation without stopping to think about the costs.

Reimagining Britain Foundations for Hope

Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby reimagines the values necessary to radically rebuild Britain today.

n a time of political turmoil, and as the Welfare State so closely associated with Archbishop William Temple totters under the strain in a country that has changed almost beyond recognition since 1945, Temple’s successor, Justin Welby, draws on history and Christian social teaching to identify the values that will enable us to reimagine, and to enact, a hopeful future. The work of reimagining is as great as it was in 1945, and will happen either by accident – and thus badly – or deliberately. Examining key areas such as health, housing, and education; family; the environment; the economy; peace-building and overseas development; immigration and integration, the author identifies building blocks for reimagining ‘British Values’ and their implementation in a post-Brexit, multicultural country.

Built The Hidden Stories Behind our Structures

Roma Agrawal The wonders of engineering revealed – by the inspirational young female engineer behind The Shard, Western Europe’s tallest building

ur cities are full of incredible engineering feats and most of us live with little idea of what we are looking at in the built environment, let alone how a new building goes up, what it is built upon or how it remains standing. In this book Roma Agrawal uncovers the astonishing science behind her profession. Each of the twelve chapters will tackle a great engineering challenge – how we keep a building from falling down, or how a bridge is built to span vast distances – explaining solutions from modern times, reaching back to the Romans and other ancient cultures who developed techniques still used today. Interweaving science, history, illustrations and personal stories, Roma will offer a new window into a subject that touches our everyday lives. Roma Agrawal is a structural engineer who builds BIG. Her first project was to construct a bridge over an eight-lane motorway in Newcastle; one year later, aged just 23, she began work on The Shard in London. She is increasingly the public face of engineering, featuring in a recent national advertising campaign for Marks & Spencer. Roma is a tireless advocate of the engineering professions, lecturing to institutions, schools and universities. Built is her first book.

Political Tribes Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations

Amy Chua Chua is back to her irreverent, divisive and insightful best, writing about the problematic role of identity politics in society

olitical Tribes explores the phenomenon of group identity: how identities are shaped and formed by belonging to a group. Groups unite us, fostering a sense of belonging and taking care of some of our most basic needs. They have also, throughout history, divided us. This is Amy Chua’s impassioned plea to recognise the divisions caused by disparate groups and tribes. The more diverse a society, the more tribalism flourishes – and the more society is at risk of being broken down irrevocably by group passions. The media miscalled the US election and Brexit because it doesn’t understand, and even looks down on, what matters most to nonelites: belonging to a tribe. Original and provocative, Political Tribes is an urgent examination of our tribal identities and of how, ultimately, the urge to belong to groups is the true universal.

Visceral, ironic, self-lacerating and ultimately redemptive, Young’s story drops us unarmed into Marine Corps culture and lays bare the vulnerability of those on the front lines and the true, if often misguided, motivations that drove a young man to a life in the military.

A selfprofessed ‘crazy American’, Sigal recalls his adventures – including his affair with Doris Lessing and therapy for anxiety with R. D.

Arlott, Swanton and the Soul of English Cricket Stephen Fay & David Kynaston A fascinating account of how the two great voices of post-war English cricket battled for the soul of the game

BC broadcasters John Arlott (1914–1991) and E. W. (‘Jim’) Swanton (1906– 2000) were for years the dominant voices of English cricket. Because of their strong personalities and distinctive voices – Swanton’s crisp and authoritative, and Arlott’s with its unique Hampshire burr – each had a loyal following in the postwar period. As the BBC tightened its grip on the national consciousness, their voices revealed mannerisms and prejudices that transformed the broadcasting of the nation’s summer game into a national institution. This is a detailed account of how these two very different men, who seldom warmed to each other, influenced this beloved game. David Kynaston has written twenty books, including Austerity Britain, Family Britain and Modernity Britain. His most recent cricket book is WG’s Birthday Party, an account of the historic 1898 Gentlemen v Players match at Lord’s. Stephen Fay has written extensively on finance, the theatre and cricket. He is a former editor of Wisden Cricket Monthly.

oday, Islam is to many in the West an alien force. A failure to grasp the inner workings of religion and geopolitics continues to haunt American foreign policy and Western attitudes towards the Islamic world. The complexities must be better understood by the West not only to build a more harmonious relationship between the two cultures, but also for greater accuracy in predicting how current crises such as the growth of ISIS might develop. Authoritative and engaging, Islam and the West guides us through the nuances of Islam and its peoples. Ed Husain was an Islamist radical in his late teens and early twenties. Having rejected extremism, he now advises governments and political leaders on Islam.

Judged Why No One Will Ever Truly Understand You

Ziyad Marar Everyone judges and is judged. This is our world. Why is this so? And can we find true understanding amidst all the confusions, misfires and insecurities? A refreshingly honest exploration of the paradox of judgement.

veryone fears being judged. One foolish tweet can destroy a career, one careless image can damage a life. Yet judgement is inescapable; we cannot be social beings without judging and being judged. We need judgement - we want to be considered worthy of consideration, respect and love – but this act of judging can cause us pain. We want to be understood but will anyone ever truly understand us? And can we even truly understand ourselves? This provocative exploration of our contemporary world responds to the fragility of reputation and relationships with refreshing directness. We may never be truly understood by anyone, we may never be judged entirely fairly but we have moments of connection and of meaning in spite of this; moments when the light comes in.

A Table in Venice Recipes from my home

Skye McAlpine 100 glorious recipes from Skye McAlpine’s Venetian kitchen

undreds of thousands of tourists pass through the city of Venice each year, eat at trattorie, and leave having dined in Venice, but not having eaten well. It is the food cooked in homes and made with local ingredients, the recipes passed down through generations – which Venetians guard ferociously and exclusively for their own gratification – that is real Venetian food. For Skye it is the food of her childhood, laden with nostalgia, synonymous with comfort and the source of an endless fascination. Some of the recipes in A Table in Venice are translated and barely adapted from the old Venetian cookbooks. Other dishes are more loosely inspired by Venice, by the ingredients, by the flavours, and by everyday life there. All of the recipes are typical of Skye’s cooking style: simple, fresh, colourful and always plentiful, and offer a rare glimpse into the tastes and secrets of a true Venetian kitchen. Skye divides her time between London and Venice, where she writes, practises photography and teaches cookery workshops. She is the author of a successful blog, From My Dining Table, and contributes regularly to publications from around the world, including Food52, the Sunday Times, the Guardian, the Saturday Telegraph, Vanity Fair, Condé Nast Traveller and Corriere della Sera.

Making the Monster The Science Behind Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Kathryn Harkup A thrilling and gruesome look at the science that influenced Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

he year 1818 saw the publication of one of the most influential science-fiction stories of all time – Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. But how did a 19-year-old woman with no formal education come up with the idea for such an extraordinary novel? The period 1790-1820 saw advances in our understanding of electricity and physiology. Sensational scientific demonstrations caught the imagination of the general public, and newspapers were full of lurid tales of murderers and resurrectionists. From tales of reanimated zombie kittens to electrical experiments on human cadavers, Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Mary Shelley and inspired her most famous creation. While, thankfully, we are still far from being able to recreate Victor’s ‘creature’, scientists have tried to create the building blocks of life, and the dream of creating life-forms from scratch is now tantalisingly close.

Seeds of Science Why We Got It So Wrong On GMOs

Mark Lynas The inside story of the fight for and against genetic modification in food

enetically modified organisms was a subject that dominated the media in the late nineties, dividing public opinion. Was our food already GM-rich, and was it damaging our health? This book lifts the lid on the controversial GM story, from the perspective of someone who has fought on both sides. It explains research that has enabled this technology – something that was sorely missing from the media in the late nineties, which led to countless misconceptions about the field. As a consequence we forfeited two decades’ worth of scientific progress in the most vital area of human need: food. Mark Lynas is the author of three major popular science environmental books – his book Six Degrees (2008) won the Royal Society prize and was made into a National Geographic documentary.

A Shadow Above The Fall and Rise of the Raven

Joe Shute A Shadow Above chronicles the return of the raven and the people who have made that comeback possible

or centuries, the raven (Corvus corax) has stalked us in life and in death. Excavations of Bronze Age settlements in Britain have revealed raven bones mingled with human remains. The Viking and Norman warriors that stormed these shores did so sporting ravens on their shields and banners. Yet by the 1700s our relationship with ravens had soured, and by the nineteenth century raven numbers depleted dramatically. The past decade has witnessed a remarkable comeback. In this book Joe travels the country exploring the myths and legends behind the return of the raven. Joe Shute is senior feature writer for the Daily Telegraph. His day-to-day brief covers crime, history, domestic and international affairs, but his real interest is conservation. A keen ornithologist, Joe regularly writes in-depth features on wildlife matters.

Faster Higher Stronger Weirder The quest for the superhuman sports star

Ed Hawkins The bizarre true story about the cosmic side of sports

n the 1970s several hippies from America believed they could change the world using superhuman powers. And they did (with the US military keeping a watchful eye). Thanks to a shared belief by their Soviet brethren of New Age spiritualism they helped the Cold War thaw. Then they focused on sports: could mystical powers be used to create superhuman athletes? Locking runners in huts to make them believe they were dead saints, and golfers imagining they are Darth Vader – coaches began to trust in very weird things. So weird, in fact, that the hippies went underground and their superhuman powers became mythical. But the trailblazers are making a comeback, influencing some of the world’s top teams. Ed Hawkins is an award-winning author and investigative journalist. He has written several books including the critically acclaimed The Lost Boys: Inside Football’s Slave Trade and Bookie Gambler Fixer Spy, which was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

he factors that lead to workplace enchantment are different from those which cause disenchantment – while employees might not be unhappy at work, this doesn’t mean that they are engaged and motivated. This can cause major issues for organisations, from low productivity to actively destructive employees, and it can have a huge impact on individuals’ health and wellbeing. Disenchantment discusses the related and identifiable behaviours that lead to demotivation, and how individuals and organisations can prevent this and boost enthusiasm and engagement in ways that are practicable and sustainable.

Drawing on nearly two decades of research and a host of examples, from executives of multinationals, political leaders and sports leaders, Yours Truly examines and explains the missing link in research into authentic leadership: how leaders strive for success and constant renewal to address the changing emotional and social demands of their followers, while maintaining their core principles.

wimming seems like the most egalitarian of pastimes, open to anyone with a swimsuit. Yet, like pretty much everything, swimming used to be exclusively a male domain.

Looking back at her own swimming story, Landreth explores what it is that attracts so many women into the water. Jenny Landreth is a script editor and writer. She was the main contributor to the Guardian’s weekly swimming blog, and she’s swum in and written about many pools round the country. Swell is her third book.

o the people of rural Britain, hares are deeply beloved. In our stories, they are magical, uncanny and illogical beings which commune with the moon, vanish at will, and lose their minds when spring arrives.

Studies of molecular biology and biomechanical physics help us understand how hares are put together, while centuries of game estate records reveal how humans have exploited them. Ultimately, it is the moments spent in the company of wild hares that allow us to bring together myth and reality. 14 JUNE 2018

Catching Breath The Making and Unmaking of Tuberculosis

Kathryn Lougheed If we can understand the makings of TB, then maybe we can find a way to unmake it

uberculosis has twisted through the millennia hand-in-hand with humanity, leaving its marks on our culture, our history and our DNA, from the birth of Homo sapiens up to the present day. TB continues to kill more people than any other infectious agent; it may be an ancient disease, but TB is not a disease of history. Catching Breath looks at the hidden biology behind the interactions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with its human host, and shows how drug resistance, the HIV epidemic, poverty and inequality work together to ensure that TB remains one of the most serious problems in world medicine. Kathryn Lougheed worked in tuberculosis research for more than ten years. She completed her PhD at Imperial College London in 2006, before moving to the National Institute for Medical Research where she collaborated with industrial partners to develop inhibitors targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
