'A nuanced invitation to see the city as a place of wild co-existence and possibility.' OLIVIA LAING 'Meticulously researched and elegantly written' VICTORIA BENNETT While it's easy to think of the city as a human domain - a place that belongs to us alone - the reality is that nature is always present, always finding ways to thrive, even in the most unexpected places. From the remarkable adaptation of birds to the fearless resilience of mammals, there are stories from across the globe that attest to the growing realisation that nature is abundant in our cities - and it is time to discover a new way of living with it. Through her experience of cities, from London to Nairobi, San Francisco to New Delhi, anthropologist JC Niala is perfectly placed to offer a luminous exploration of city life - and ask what it means to live with nature rather than simply in it. Combining memoir, social history, and cultural commentary, JC celebrates nature in our cities and, by doing so, offers a powerful vision of the future where we can all belong.

'An audacious first novel to set beside Margaret Atwood's provocative first novel The Edible Woman' JOYCE CAROL OATES 'Intimate, nostalgic, and downright terrifying' OLIVIA GATWOOD 'Haunting, nostalgic and sharply observant' WOMAN'S WEEKLY _____________________________________________________________________________ It starts with an itch.

At the center of the story are three young women caught in the pull of something unstoppable. Aimee follows the trail of her missing best friend to a man called the Piper -- known for leading infected women West.

'A stunning exploration of how pleasure, ritual and inherited wisdom can transform the way we understand ourselves' Oloni 'Eye-opening' Eloghosa Osunde 'This book will help us reimagine what is possible' Charlene A. Curruthers A bold foray into self-discovery, sexual pleasure and African traditions from the acclaimed author of The Sex Lives of African Women. On her quest for sexual liberation, preeminent feminist Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah has heard the wildest dreams and spiciest realities of women around the world. But so often, something holds these women back from achieving full, unfettered freedom. Through sankofa, learning from the past to inform the future, Sekyiamah seeks to reclaim a more joyful and free sexual practice. Travelling from Senegal to Tanzania and beyond, Sekyiamah trains with gurus, witches and aunties-guides through puberty rites and marital training-and explores the spiritual, fluid nature of traditional African religions. Embracing these age-old practices and questioning how we've come to lose them, Sekyiamah challenges our warped ideals of beauty, shame, internalised racism and violence to lead us on our own personal journeys to rediscover sexual freedom through practical advice and prompts. Part-manifesto, part-travelogue, part-workbook, Seeking Sexual Freedom is the powerful and bold call to joy and liberation that women of all backgrounds need today.

'The Paris Code is a passionate, fiery tribute to a historical woman so extraordinary she almost defies belief. Natasha Lester writes with razor-sharp research.' - Kate Quinn, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network A strong woman. A dangerous city. A fight for freedom... 1928. Eighteen-year-old Marie-Madeleine is not the kind of woman who goes through life sitting down, something her new husband can attest. Her unconventionalities - rally car driving, flying planes and dabbling in intelligence work for the French government - earn her a reputation, but she knows who she is at heart: an adventurer. Ten years later, as Europe teeters on the brink of war, a chance encounter with a mysterious man codenamed Navarre turns Marie-Madeleine's life upside down. Recruited to help build a resistance network known only as Alliance, she conceals her identity - and gender - as she navigates a perilous double-life away from her children and the man she loves. Capture and death are only ever a heartbeat away. But when the resistance finds themselves without a leader, Marie-Madeleine steps into the role, heedless of the many men who doubt her abilities. Will she, a young mother from Paris, help turn the tide of war? Internationally bestselling author Natasha Lester passionately brings to life the true story of one of history's unsung heroes: Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the only woman to lead a resistance network in WWII France. Her story is one of epic love, tragic loss and magnificent leadership. Titled as The Mademoiselle Alliance in Australia and USA.

Butterflies come in every colour of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black and white. But their vibrant wings aren't just beautiful, they give each butterfly a special power too. Over the years, butterflies' wings have brightened, dulled and transformed as they adapt to their ever-changing environments, helping them survive and thrive through everything from the industrial revolution to the climate crisis. Colours help butterflies camouflage and stay safe in their surroundings, making them disappear amongst vibrant flower petals and invisible against bronze tree trunks. Intricate patterns on their wings confuse and scare away predators, but they can attract the perfect mate too. And then there are some butterflies who are not in fact the colour the appear to be at all - instead they are iridescent and simply reflecting the light. In this beautifully illustrated book, you'll discover hundreds of different coloured and patterned butterflies from around the world and what makes them so special. You'll also learn about butterfly life cycles, their sense of smell, taste and sight, flight and migration, as well as what butterflies mean to us and why they're important players in our ecosystem.

Discover the ten thinker-types that help you to understand your colleagues, friends, family - and yourself 'Deeply insightful. An essential guide to our many ways of thinking.' CAMILLA PANG '(Ostrowski] is frighteningly clever... with a talent for clear, accessible writing.' DAILY MAIL What is going on inside their head? Why do some people think so differently to me? Why do I think what I think? Bringing together startling new evidence from psychology, philosophy, sociology and political science, Marius Ostrowski breaks down our thinking into ten 'thinker-types' that help us understand ourselves and everyone around us. We all fall within one or more of these ten distinct mindsets, from the 'Keen Bean' to the 'Agoniser', from the 'Happy Camper' to the 'Worrywart', as coined by Ostrowski. Some overlap, others clash. They are neither 'good' nor 'bad', and they are constantly evolving, adapting to our circumstances. We start growing into them from the moment we are born; which thinker-type we are is the result of our experiences over the course of our lives. Understanding where we and others fit within the ten 'thinker-types' is transformative. Through these ten ways of thinking, Ostrowski gives us remarkable insight into our own minds as well as those who think differently to us, and reveals how we might even change our minds for the better. How We Think is an eye-opening tour of the mind and the surprising factors that shape not just what we think but how we think. It is the essential thinking about thinking. Autorid: Marius Ostrowski

What happens to a love story that has nowhere to go, and who has the right to tell it? A decade has passed since Ava spoke to Aliya. Aliya has everything Ava wants - a room of her own and a publishing deal - and, worse, the thing Ava was certain neither of them had ever wanted: a sensible doctor husband. Arriving back in London for a mutual friend's hen party, Ava is desperate to unpack the truth of their shared history and what they meant to each other. Aliya and Ava first met in the halls of their historic campus with dreams built upon Emily Brontë, Brideshead Revisited and Richard Curtis films. Their connection was electric. They created a world of their own through the stories they wrote, influencing and borrowing from each other's work. But when the end of university loomed, the real world began to pull them in opposite directions. Was their bond ever truly as strong as they thought? And what would become of the stories they told themselves about each other? Weaving together their past and present, Strange Girls is an ingenious exploration of the ties forged in the intensity of youth, and the scars left when they break.

How do you explore distant stars, buried water on Mars or the first moments after the Big Bang - without leaving your back garden? In The Radio Universe, award-winning astrophysicist Emma Chapman takes us on an electrifying voyage through the cosmos using one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools in science: the radio wave. With dazzling clarity and humour, Chapman reveals how these invisible messengers glide through space, bounce off planets, tunnel through clouds and slip past galactic dust - carrying secrets of the universe that no other kind of light can uncover. We follow a single radio wave as it escapes Earth and travels outward - ricocheting off the Moon, tunnelling through Venus's furnace-thick atmosphere, tracing ancient ice hidden in Mercury's shadows and diving deep into the swirling arms of the Milky Way. Along the way, we meet black holes that roar louder than stars, pulsars more precise than atomic clocks and galaxies lit by the very first starlight. We explore volcanic pancake planets, death-defying neutron stars, the eerie possibility of alien broadcasts - and the fragile question of our own future in the cosmos. A celebration of human ingenuity and cosmic curiosity, The Radio Universe reveals that the true frontier of space isn't 'out there' - it's humming quietly all around us, waiting to be heard.

"Sohrab Ahmari is emerging as one of the finest minds and writers of his generation, and the story of his conversion recounted here will stay with the reader for a very long time." --Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, from the Foreword Raised under the shadow of Iran's ayatollahs, Sohrab Ahmari rejected God as a teenager. Nearly twenty years later, he was received into the Roman Catholic Church while working as a journalist in London. In From Fire, by Water, Ahmari tells the dramatic story of that transformation - from a restless youth shaped by Marxism and atheism on both sides of the Atlantic to a moral and spiritual awakening sparked by the beauty and discipline of the Mass. Both an intellectually rigorous memoir and a cultural reckoning, the book traces a life formed by the defining ideas and upheavals of our time and presents a powerful and compelling Catholic voice. This new edition features a fresh preface by the author, in which Ahmari reflects on the profound cultural shifts since his conversion in 2016, revisits the convictions that first drew him to the Church, and considers the demands of faith in an age of moral and political uncertainty.

Utilising hitherto untranslated sources, Sunstruck Giant Volume Two provides a complete campaign history of the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, detailing not only battles but the underlying strategic motivations behind them. Utilising hitherto untranslated sources, Sunstruck Giant Volume Two provides a complete campaign history of the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, detailing not only battles but the underlying strategic motivations behind them. Eight full colour plates bring key battles of the war to life, both vividly and authentically. Marking the death-rattle of one empire and the ascendancy of another, the First Sino-Japanese War is often portrayed as the ultimate contrast between a backwards China and a fully modernised Japan. This often nationalism-tinted lens has led many to completely gloss over the redeeming features of the Chinese military and the terrible shortcomings of the Japanese. Drawing on hitherto untranslated sources, Sunstruck Giant is the first English-language work to offer a truly comprehensive view of both sides in this forgotten war.English language sources draw exclusively from Japanese sources, leaving out the incredibly valuable Chinese perspective, as well as facts less creditable to the Japanese side. Therefore, Sunstruck Giant examines "the other side of the hill," analysing the successes, failures, mistakes, and misfortunes of both sides. Indeed, the "backwards" Chinese had their share of heroic deeds, and contrariwise the "modernised" Japanese were not immune to horrendous blunders. Autorid: John Dong

Psyche est un mythe magnifique ecrit par Apulee il y a plus de deux mille ans. Il conte l'amour contrarie par la deesse de l'Amour elle-meme, Venus, entre une princesse, Psyche, et le fils de la deesse, Cupidon. Soumise a des travaux impossibles a realiser, destines a apaiser la fureur de la deesse, Psyche, grace a des secours inattendus, parvient pourtant a rejoindre Cupidon sur le mont Olympe et a y conquerir l'immortalite. Pour atteindre ce but et meriter la faveur de Venus, elle devra faire preuve de quatre qualites essentielles, les fameuses vertus cardinales cheres aux platoniciens. En astrologie, la rencontre avec l'asteroide Psyche nous invite a accomplir nos propres travaux venusiens. Nous pouvons ainsi cultiver les qualites capables de satisfaire Venus dans nos relations amoureuses, en choisissant l'autre selon nos propres valeurs, et en nous reconnaissant pleinement digne d'amour : nous creons alors les conditions d'une relation ou Venus pourra enfin apporter la joie et le bonheur qu'elle promet. Ainsi, cet asteroide est la cle pour etablir des relations saines, heureuses et epanouissantes, dans lesquelles le Soi peut se deployer librement, et l'identite solaire, notre immortalite symbolique, se realiser pleinement.

'This is a deeply stylish, astute and illuminating biography of a fascinating writer' FRANCESCA WADE, author of Square Haunting 'Utterly charming. A book as elegant, sharp-witted and mischievous as its subject' CLARE POLLARD, author of Delphi 'She was, if you believe what you read in the papers: a genius, a survivor, a bad mother, a fickle friend, a closeted lesbian, a tyrant, a loner, an eccentric, a recluse, a gossip, and an arch-manipulator. She would politely encourage you not to believe what you read in the papers.' Muriel Spark was one of literature's great shapeshifters. That mercurial quality is found in her strange, brilliant, cruel novels - with their plots featuring pensioners receiving telephone calls from Death, the devil going clubbing in Peckham and a fascist schoolmistress leading her coterie of girls astray - but it is also true of her as a person. As sly, nimble and elegant as Spark's own work, Like a Cat Loves a Bird is a thrilling new perspective on a remarkable life and career that spanned much of the twentieth century. From her childhood in Edinburgh to her final years in Tuscany - via South Africa, London, New York and Rome - it traces a light-footed journey around the world and through her strange and magnificent bibliography. It tells an irresistible story of transformation, wit and fierce determination and makes a passionate case for this vital modern artist. 'You don't have to be a Muriel Spark fan to enjoy the sharp wit of Like a Cat Loves a Bird, a fascinating and nuanced exploration of the sacrifices some make to focus on their art' LUKE TURNER, author of Out of the Woods 'Vital, fun and immediate . . . full of engaging and astute literary analysis of Spark's work as well as scintillating, vivid biography' FRANCESCA REECE, author of Glass Houses 'A readable and fascinating book, about an under-appreciated literary giant LUCINDA HAWKSLEY, author of The Mystery of Princess Louise Autorid: James Bailey
