January 2025 NEW £22.00 9781803996790 Hardback

Joanna Moncrieff is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, consultant psychiatrist for the NHS.

She is a founder member and co-chairperson of the Critical Psychiatry Network, an influential network of psychiatrists and other doctors....

Myth

‘… essential reading from one of the most important voices in the psychiatry.’

– CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN

For decades now the public has been told that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance and that antidepressants work by targeting this mechanism. Millions of people have decided to take antidepressants based on this information.

Chemically Imbalanced tells the story of a scientific myth and its consequences. It traces the history of the serotonin theory of depression from its development in the 1960s, through its inculcation into popular culture in the 1990s, to the recent revelations unsupported by evidence.  The story illustrates the power of human interests to shape what passes as scientific knowledge, and provides people with essential information about depression and antidepressants they will not readily find elsewhere. Above all else, this is an invitation to better understand and advocate for our mental health.

‘… debunks one of the greatest misperceptions besetting current medical practice’ – GABOR MATÉ

'This is the most important health book written in recent decades.'

The Hidden Secrets of What We Eat and Why Matt Buttrick

March 2025 NEW

£15.99 9781803994987 Hardback

216 × 138mm, 240 pages World Rights

Matt Buttrick is Head of Creative Strategy at the UK’s largest independent media agency. He has worked with food companies from around the world to understand what food makes us tick - what stimulates the mind, makes the heart beat faster and entices the taste buds. The insights and experiences he’s collected along the way form the backbone of his first book.

A narrative dinner party offering a smorgasbord of stories, anecdotes and insights.

We live in an era where food has become a national pastime and cultural obsession - it’s difficult to think of a time when our love affair with food has ever been stronger, or our appetite hungrier.

Choice is everywhere, from petrol stations and corner shops to food delivery services and on demand apps. But what is really influencing us at these moments?

Moreish lifts the lid on the hidden secrets behind what we choose to eat – and why. Explore the influence of words in menu construction alongside the power of comfort food, why the first bite is not always with the eyes and how the worlds of sex, symbolism and animal instinct are simmering just beneath the surface in all of us.

Along the way we chew the fat with a range of food insiders, including restaurant owners, food tasters, packaging designers, psychologists, advertising agencies, film makers and food entrepreneurs. There are plenty of courses. Let’s spill some beans.

Kevin Parr is a Dorset-based writer, fisherman and naturalist. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Rivers Run (2016), which was longlisted for the inaugural Richard Jefferies Prize for Nature Writing. He is a monthly columnist for BBC Countryfile Magazine, the angling correspondent for The Idler magazine and has written for the Daily Telegraph and Independent

A lyrical exploration of mental health and nature, set to the phases of the moon.

The ancient Celts lived by and worshipped the moon. In a quest to find a more harmonious way of being, Kevin Parr discovers how a year of moons has much to teach us about how we live within the world that surrounds us.

January’s Quiet Moon reflects an air of melancholy; it is the time of the Dark Days for the ancient Celts, when the natural world balances on the edge of a knife. By May, the Bright Moon brings happiness, time slows and the mood lifts. Mayflies cloud and elderflowers cascade. With the descent into winter comes the sadness of December’s Cold Moon. Yet it is the Blue Moon that surprises Kevin most as stoat packs charge, buzzards grapple and salmon leap. While modern, digital life is often at odds with nature, rubbing against it rather than working in harmony with it, Kevin explores how being more in tune to the rhythms of the world around us, even in the cold and dark, can help ease the suffering mind.

You Must Stand Up

The Fight For Abortion Rights in Post-Dobbs America

Amanda Becker

September 2024 NEW

£22.00 9781803994352 Hardback

234 x 156mm, 272 pages

UK & Commonwealth Rights, excluding Canada

Amanda Becker has worked as a journalist for 15 years, cutting her teeth covering politics for Reuters and The Washington Post. She now works for The 19th – an independent non-profit specialising in gender, politics and policy – focusing on character-driven political features that centre marginalised voices.

The inspiring, on-the-ground story of the rising grassroots leaders in the abortion rights movement in the pivotal first year after Dobbs.

When the Supreme Court decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization – overturning the constitutional right to abortion care – the country was thrown into chaos. Abortion providers and their patients faced sudden closures, new restrictions, and rapidly changing rules as nearly half of the states moved quickly to ban or severely curtail abortion access. Against this backdrop, an army of health care providers, lawyers, activists and everyday people mobilized to protect what a majority of Americans want: legal abortion.

In You Must Stand Up, Nieman Fellow Amanda Becker provides a real-time portrait of the creative resistance that unfolded in America's first year without the protections of Roe v. Wade. At a moment when healthcare access shifts daily, new legal battles are argued before partisan courts, and state constitutions are re-interpreted or amended, Becker traces the story of the people rising to meet these new challenges and ultimately shows how outrage can beget hope, and give rise to a new movement.

A graphic novel that inspires not only reflection but also action.

Includes a foreword by Sarah Wyndham Lewis, ecologist, honey expert and bestselling author of Planting for Honeybees. We could live in a paradise where insects, especially bees, pollinate fragrant oceans of flowers whose fruits we harvest.

Honey is just one of the many foodstuffs that will no longer be available to us.

The Incredible True Story of the Whistleblowers Jailed after Exposing the Rotten Heart of the Financial System

Andy Verity

Sept 2024 NEW IN PAPERBACK

£17.99 9781803996349

Paperback

234 x 156mm, 352 pages World English Rights

Andy Verity is the award-winning economics correspondent for BBC News, covering finance and business. He can currently be heard on the Today programme, Radio Four’s six o’clock news and the BBC News TV channel reporting the worst economic crisis in 300 years caused by the pandemic.

As featured in The Times, Daily Mail, BBC, Bloomberg, New Statesman, Private Eye & more …

Rigged exposes a cover-up at the highest level on both sides of the Atlantic, upending the official story of the biggest scandal since the global financial crisis. Banks’ health is judged by an interest rate called Libor, which is heading skywards. To save themselves from collapse, nationalisation and loss of bonuses, banks instruct traders to manipulate Libor down – a criminal practice known as lowballing. Outraged, traders turn whistleblowers, alerting the authorities.

As Rigged reveals, their instructions come first from top bosses – then from central banks and governments. When the scandal explodes into the news, prosecutors allow banks to cover up evidence and point instead to thirty-seven traders. In nine trials from 2015 to 2019, nineteen are convicted and sentenced.

Rigged exclusively shows why all the defendants are innocent, and how any real culprits go unpunished.

Pedro Gomes is Reader in Economics at Birkbeck, University of London. He studied for his BSC in Economics in his home town of Lisbon and received his PhD from LSE in 2010. A leading researcher on public sector employment, his work has influenced policy makers globally. He lives in London.

A groundbreaking book on how and why the status quo of the five-day week must change.

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH

Friday is the New Saturday makes a compelling, provocative and timely case for societal change. Drawing on an eclectic range of economic theory, history and data, Dr Pedro Gomes argues that a four-day working week will bring about a powerful economic renewal for the benefit of all society. It will stimulate demand, productivity, innovation and wages, whilst reducing unemployment and crushing populist movements. The arguments come from both the left and right of the political spectrum to show that a polarised society can still find common ground.

In the 1800s, people in the West worked six days each week, resting on Sundays. In the 1900s, firms began to give workers Saturdays off as well, realising that a two-day weekend helped the economy.

In the 2000s, Friday will become the new Saturday, and we will never look back.

Jess Baker is a Chartered Psychologist. She started her career in clinical and research psychology in the NHS, and later moved into leadership roles in the corporate sector and consulting. She is an expert in wellbeing at work and speaks to large conference audiences on this topic. Rod Vincent is a Chartered Occupational Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society.

A response to the urgent and growing need to change the way we think about the role of helping in society.

Super-Helpers are the backbone of the caring professions, but they can also be found in offices, restaurants, charities, gyms and many other walks of life. All of us at some point will experience what it is like to care for a loved one. What SuperHelpers have in common is that they put endless effort into caring for other people. However, all too often they fall prey to a compulsion to help beyond their capacity and are frequently taken for granted.  The increasing tensions of the last few years highlight how much we need people who care. The current health crisis has drawn even more attention to helpers with louder calls for fair pay and support. But it is not enough. Helpers are overstretched and suffering. It’s time to help the helpers. Psychologist and researcher Jess Baker has worked extensively with Super-Helpers and has learnt what motivates them and what holds them back. She gives you the tools you need to care in a healthy way.

Coverage in The Telegraph, Stylist, Metro, Fabulous (The Sun) and BACP Healthcare Journal.

Toby Walsh is one of the world’s leading researchers in AI and is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of New South Wales. He has been elected a fellow of the Association for the Advancement of AI and has won the prestigious Humboldt research award. He regularly appears on the BBC and writes for global national press.

The brave new world of faking it …

Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We’ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question ‘Can machines think?’ by proposing that machines pretend to be humans.

Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated. In reality, they lack true understanding, sentience and common sense. But this doesn’t mean they can’t change the world.

Can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they are not harmful? In this fun and fascinating book, Professor Toby Walsh explores the ways AI fakes it, and what this means for humanity – now and in the future.

Helen Rowe has dedicated her professional life to tackling some of the big issues that have faced this country, from counterterrorism to tackling deprivation. Her work has taken her from Whitehall to drop-in shelters. She has witnessed the reality of poverty in this country first-hand and her passionate, pragmatic approach sits at the heart of her plan to eradicate it.

Can we really end poverty in Britain? Helen Rowe argues that we can.

In this groundbreaking book, Helen Rowe brings together the latest research with stories from across Britain to show us that ending poverty in the twenty-first century is possible. She describes the effects of deprivation on British society, our institutions, communities, families and individuals – down to their very DNA.

By using a combination of compassion, focus and a plan, Rowe describes how we can end poverty in five years, without raising taxes. Her radical ideas are grounded in practical realities, as she reveals how an ordinary process can yield extraordinary results.

This book has huge ramifications for Britain and every developed nation globally. It will force governments to face an issue which has been ignored for too long. After Covid-19, Brexit, war, austerity and the global financial crash, Britain deserves a more positive future. How do we create it? This book has the answers.

‘If you’ve ever wondered, like I have, how the government of a wealthy country such as ours, has so badly served its population in terms of mental health provision and the growing index of social ills from poverty to care of the elderly, Helen Rowe provides a wealth of new ideas to begin to mend us.’ – JO BRAND

How does a newsroom, made up of young journalists, find itself in a war zone overnight?

A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE DAY

One member of The Kyiv Independent’s young editorial staff was covering the business world in Ukraine, another was reporting on entertainment, while a third was dealing with geopolitics, when the Russian army crossed the border. They made the choice to stay: to face head-on the uncertainty of living and working in an active war zone. The power cuts, threat to life, trips to shelters, lethal attacks –despite it all, they keep informing.

In War Diary of the Ukrainian Resistance, they share their work on the war that is ravaging their country. Combining articles published during the conflict with personal accounts, they give us an unprecedented inside look at the reality of the Russian invasion and its consequences.

‘Every page contains stories ... of ordinary people in extraordinary times. There are horrors here, but there is also love, compassion and a steady drumbeat of determination to stay alive and to keep other people alive.’
