No campaign during World War Two contained more spinetingling drama, outstanding courage and heartbreaking tragedy than the Arctic convoys. Yet they – and the multifaceted Battle of the Arctic that had to be fought to get them through to Russia – remain one of the war’s most undercelebrated feats. 

 As this book’s title implies, Battle of the Arctic tells a unique story. For much of the conflict was complicated by terrific storms, snow, ice, fog, whales and Arctic mirages, so that what is chronicled at times sounds like a cross between the nightmarish torment experienced by both Shackleton in his ship Endurance and Scott of the Antarctic, and an Arctic version of Robinson Crusoe.

The action unfolded as Allied naval and merchant seamen, airmen, submariners, soldiers and intelligence officers delivered on their countries’ promise to take arms to Russia notwithstanding the German attempts to hunt them in their aircraft, U-boats and surface fleet spearheaded by Tirpitz and Scharnhorst. When ships were attacked, and went down in seas so cold that a man could die after five minutes of immersion, it triggered events reminiscent of the do-or-die moments during the sinking of the Titanic. Men perished one by one in lifeboats, and as castaways on deserted Arctic islands where they were stalked by polar bears. Frostbitten and wounded survivors ended up in primitive Russian hospitals where amputations were carried out without anesthetics. Others, while stranded for months in the communist state they were aiding, experienced the murky worlds of the NKVD, and the gulag, as well as famine and prostitution.

Using new material unearthed in American, British, Russian and German archives, as well as Polish, Norwegian, French and Dutch sources, and a remarkable collection of vivid witness accounts brought together at the passing of the last survivors, Hugh Sebag-Montefiore can at last shine a revealing light on this extraordinary tale that oscillates between the sailors’ eye view on the front line, and the controversies that infuriated world leaders.

When you’ve hit rock bottom, there’s only one way to go.

Becky’s not exactly living her best life. Her mum is throwing her a twenty-ninth birthday party. She’s still holding a torch for her ex, Max, who’s moving in with his girlfriend. Her coupled-up best friends Dami and Angie can only talk about careers or Dami’s upcoming wedding. When a younger, less experienced colleague is promoted over Becky, things surely can’t sink lower. Until a tarot reading throws up the Death card and Becky leaps to the conclusion that the clock is ticking for her.

There’s only one thing to do: book a ticket to Bali to live it up in the time she has left. But not before she’s drunkenly posted letters to her loved ones – less of a goodbye, more a chance to spill some ‘home truths’.

But the next day Becky’s trip to Bali is off, and she realises perhaps she was a little overzealous in predicting her imminent demise. She thought her life couldn’t get any worse, but now Becky’s going to have to face everyone who knows just what she thinks of them …

*Introduced by Rory Stewart*

What makes a person good? What does it mean to be evil? And what does it tell us about being human? 

 Philosophers have been grappling with these questions for thousands of years, and they remain as vital as ever in our present moment. Here, in a selection of essays each written by a different world expert, we explore the ideas of twelve strikingly different philosophers. From Hannah Arendt’s 'banality of evil' to Nietzsche’s embrace of suffering, from John Stuart Mill’s ethics of happiness to the ruthless realism of Machiavelli, there is an approach for readers of all persuasions. This is the book for anyone trying to understand how humans can sometimes behave so badly, and how we can all be better.

What if the key to the life you want isn’t wishing harder – but telling a better story? 

 Where you are today has been determined by every thought and feeling you’ve had, every action you’ve taken and the people and circumstances you have attracted. Manifest the Life You Love shows you how to focus each of these into crafting the story you want and claiming the life that’s waiting for you.

Carolyn Boyes brings a bold new approach to manifestation that combines storytelling with the power of intention, walking you through seven crucial steps to successful manifesting. Going beyond vague affirmations and vision boards, this illuminating book harnesses the mechanics of storytelling – motivation, conflict, resolution – to get clear on what you want, what’s standing in your way and how to move forward.

Learn to examine the stories you tell yourself – the beliefs, doubts and patterns that hold you back and limit your potential – and instead, rewrite your internal narrative by:

• Uncovering what the real wish is beneath the noise of ‘shoulds’ and self-doubt
• Creating vivid, emotionally charged visions of your future self
• Building momentum through consistent action – without burnout

Because when you begin to shift what you believe is possible, the real transformation begins.

With guided prompts, interactive journaling exercises and practical rituals, Manifest the Life You Love is more than a book – it’s a toolkit for personal reinvention. Whether you’re manifesting love, purpose or self-trust, you will see that no obstacle can bring a full stop to your plans.

So what are you waiting for? Create the life that you want.

Forest celebrates the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been.

Journeying across the continents, Matt Collins and Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. 

 Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been.

Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them.

The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus – Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island).

Captured on medium-format film, Roo’s stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt’s engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees.
