- Stylish reissue of a classic first published in the 1970s: Hunter S Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream. 'We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold! And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas!' As knights of old buckled on armour of supernatural power, so Hunter S. Thompson enters Las Vegas armed with a veritable arsenal of 'heinous chemicals'. His perilous, drug-enhanced confrontations with casino operators, bartenders, police officers and assorted representatives of the Silent Majority have a hallucinatory humour and nightmare terror never before seen on the printed page.

- Are trees social beings? How do trees live? Do they feel pain or have awareness of their surroundings? In The Hidden Life of Trees Peter Wohlleben makes the case that the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death and regeneration he has observed in his woodland. A walk in the woods will never be the same again.

- A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - these form a series of events that change the orphaned Pip's life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman. Dickens's haunting late novel depicts Pip's education and development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his 'great expectations'.

- For readers of George Monbiot, Mark Cocker and Robert Macfarlane - an urgent and lyrical account of endangered places around the globe and the people fighting to save them. 'Powerful, timely, beautifully written and wonderfully hopeful... Julian Hoffman shines a light on what we had, what we have, and how much we still stand to lose' Rob Cowen, author of Common Ground 'Unforgettable. At a time when the Earth often seems broken beyond repair, this courageous and hopeful book offers life-changing encounters with the more-than-human world' Nancy Campbell, author of The Library of Ice 'Wonderful, tender and subtle, beautifully written and filled with a calm authority... No book has done more to champion the idea that connections between the human and the natural are the lifeblood of everything that matters' Adam Nicolson, author of The Seabird's Cry All across the world, irreplaceable habitats are under threat. Unique ecosystems of plants and animals are being destroyed by human intervention. From the tiny to the vast, from marshland to meadow, and from Kent to Glasgow to India to America, they are disappearing. Irreplaceable is not only a love letter to the haunting beauty of these landscapes and the wild species that call them home, including nightingales, lynxes, hornbills, redwoods and elephant seals, it is also a timely reminder of the vital connections between humans and nature, and all that we stand to lose in terms of wonder and wellbeing. This is a book about the power of resistance in an age of loss; a testament to the transformative possibilities that emerge when people come together to defend our most special places and wildlife from extinction. Exploring treasured coral reefs and remote mountains, tropical jungle and ancient woodland, urban allotments and tallgrass prairie, Julian Hoffman traces the stories of threatened places around the globe through the voices of local communities and grassroots campaigners as well as professional ecologists and academics. And in the process, he asks what a deep emotional relationship with place offers us - culturally, socially and psychologically. In this rigorous, intimate and impassioned account, he presents a powerful call to arms in the face of unconscionable natural destruction.

- The world expert in multisensory perception on the remarkable ways we can use our senses to lead richer lives. How can the furniture in your home affect your wellbeing? What colour clothing will help you play sport better? And what simple trick will calm you after a tense day at work? In this revelatory book, pioneering and entertaining Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses change how we think and feel, and how by 'hacking' them we can reduce stress, become more productive and be happier.We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, and yet it's the scent of expensive face cream that removes wrinkles (temporarily), a room actually feels warmer if you use a warmer paint colour, and the noise of the crowd really does affect the referee's decision. Understanding how our senses interact can produce incredible results. This is popular science at its unbelievable best.

- Tells the story of the movies and how they have shaped us. Taking us around the globe, through time and across multiple media, this title tracks the ways in which we were initially enchanted by this mesmerizing imitation of life and let movies - the stories, the stars, the look - show us how to live.
In this triumphant work David Thomson, one of film's greatest living experts and author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, tells the enthralling story of the movies and how they have shaped us. Sunday Times, New Statesman, The Times, Guardian, Observer and Independent books of the year. Taking us around the globe, through time and across multiple media, Thomson tracks the ways in which we were initially enchanted by this mesmerizing imitation of life and let movies - the stories, the stars, the look - show us how to live. But at the same time he shows us how movies, offering a seductive escape from the everyday reality and its responsibilities, have made it possible for us to evade life altogether. The entranced audience has become a model for powerless citizens trying to pursue happiness by sitting quietly in a dark room. Does the big screen take us out into the world, or merely mesmerize us? That is Thomson's question in this great adventure of a book. A passionate feat of storytelling that is vital to anyone trying to make sense of the age of screens - the age that, more than ever, we are living in. Reviews: "The greatest living writer on the movies...The Big Screen is surely his magnum opus". (John Banville, New Statesman books of the year). "Nobody else would match its sweep, its erudition, its discernment or its warmth". (David Hare, Guardian books of the year). "A startling analysis of what happens to us in the darkness as we dream with eyes open". (Peter Conrad, Observer books of the year). "A very good book indeed, probably the best overview of the cinema ever written ...sparkles with insight, is packed with anecdote, and pulses with passion". (Guardian books of the year). "A cultural overview of the past, present and future of the movies". (Sunday Times books of the year). "Rigorous and rewarding, and a page rarely passes without insight". (Independent books of the year). "David Thomson is a giant in the world of film criticism, and his book is the chest-crusher you might expect: erudite, delightfully tangential and surprisingly polemical". (The Times). "The best writer on film in our time ...insights and revelations on every page...[Thomson] is our most argumentative and trustworthy historian of the screen". (Michael Ondaatje). "A devilish, dazzling, out-there divination ...[full of] awe, poetry and witty iconoclasm...Criticism is rarely this passionate and brilliant". (Empire). "A grand aesthetic, spiritual, and moral account of cinema history assembled around the movies and artists that have meant the most to [Thomson]...A pungently written, brilliant book". (David Denby (author of Snark)). "Line by line, Thomson is still the greatest biographical writer about film of all time ...to read him on his favourite films is to be sent back with renewed yearning to that land of Californian light and loveliness". (Sunday Times). "Subtle, erudite and entertaining". (Economist). "Fascinating ...crackling with ideas and vivid impressionisms...Thomson's stylish prose, simultaneously erudite and entertaining, captivates as it informs...Buffs and casual fans alike will enjoy this extra-large serving of popcorn for thought". (Publishers Weekly). "Nobody does it better". (Scott Eyman (author of Empire of Dreams and Lion of Hollywood)). "None is better informed or more authoritative than David Thomson...[The Big Screen] re-awakens in us the thrill and wonder of moving images and the need to know what happens next ...It is as close to definitive as any book on film can be". (Spectator Life). "Thomson's brain is the ultimate repertory theatre, perpetually rerunning our favourites and allowing us to wonder at them all over again. The highest praise I can give him is to say that the images he treasures are just as alive on his pages as they were on the big screen". (Peter Conrad, Guardian). Erudite but readable, delightfully tangential, and surprisingly polemical ...a fascinating ride through the past century of American cine

- »Alla talar om Sovjetunionens fall, men vad ett imperiums sammanbrott egentligen innebär, det förmår bara en författare som Svetlana Aleksijevitj skildra. Hon ger röst åt dem som hamnade under hjulen i det postsovjetiska kaoset, och upp stiger en kör som hämtad ur antiken men scenerna utspelar sig i dag, i det begynnande tjugohundratalet.«
Karl Schlögel
Sovjetunionen. Det började med drömmar om en ny människa, som skulle formas av de kommunistiska idéerna. I stället kom hon att präglas av krig, läger och umbäranden, men också av höga ideal och »vardagens socialism«. Hon levde i ett mäktigt imperium, älskat och fruktat världen över, men en dag bröt det samman och kvar blev sovjetmänniskan, som kastades ut i en osäker och obegriplig tillvaro där ett fåtal blev ofattbart rika och de flesta fattigare än någonsin.
I över tjugo år har Svetlana Aleksijevitj rest runt i de forna sovjetrepublikerna och sökt upp kvinnor och män med olika bakgrunder och erfarenheter. Hon har pratat med förlorarna - gästarbetare, barnhemsbarn, anhöriga till självmördare och många, många fler. Av dessa tusentals röster har hon skapat ett körverk om livet i den socialistiska utopin, om kaoset som följde och om det tilltagande politiska förtrycket av i dag.
»Tiden second hand« ingår i Utopins röster, ett unikt försök att beskriva den sovjetiska erfarenheten ur den lilla människans perspektiv.
Om »Kriget har inget kvinnligt ansikte«:
»En av vår tids viktigaste författare«
Anneli Jordahl
»Ett storslaget litterärt oratorium.
Dokumentärjournalistik som stor konst.«
Per Svensson
»Ett unikt konstverk i den stora ryska litterära traditionen.«

- 'All roads used to lead to Rome. Today, they lead to Beijing.' When The Silk Roads was published in 2015, it became an instant classic. A major reassessment of world history, it compelled us to look at the past from a different perspective. The New Silk Roads brings this story up to date, addressing the present and future of a world that is changing dramatically. Following the Silk Roads eastwards, from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, The New Silk Roads provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. In an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the Western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads since 2015, where ties have been strengthened and mutual cooperation established. With brilliant insight, Peter Frankopan takes a fresh look at the network of relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the Silk Roads today, assessing the global reverberations of these continual shifts in the centre of power - all too often absent from headlines in the West. This important - and ultimately hopeful - book asks us to re-read who we are and where we are in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihood depend.

- Perdita Lee and her mother Harriet may appear your average schoolgirl and working mother but they are anything but. For one thing, their home is a gold-painted seventh-floor flat with some surprisingly verbal vegetation. And then there's the gingerbread. As we follow the Lees through encounters with jealousy, ambition, family grudges, work and wealth, gingerbread seems to be the one thing that holds a constant value . . .Influenced by the mysterious place gingerbread holds in classic children's stories - equal parts wholesome and uncanny - beloved novelist Helen Oyeyemi invites readers into a delightful tale of a surprising family legacy, in which the inheritance is a recipe. Endlessly surprising and satisfying, written with Helen Oyeyemi's inimitable style and imagination, Gingerbread is a true feast for the reader.
