  • African Politics: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

    Africa is a continent of 54 countries and over a billion people. However, despite the rich diversity of the African experience, it is striking that continuations and themes seem to be reflected across the continent, particularly south of the Sahara. Questions of underdevelopment, outside exploitation, and misrule are characteristic of many – if not most-states in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    In this Very Short Introduction Ian Taylor explores how politics is practiced on the African continent, considering the nature of the state in Sub-Saharan Africa and why its state structures are generally weaker than elsewhere in the world. Exploring the historical and contemporary factors which account for Africa’s underdevelopment, he also analyses why some African countries suffer from high levels of political violence while others are spared. Unveilling the ways in which African state and society actually function beyond the formal institutional façade, Taylor discusses how external factors – both inherited and contemporary – act upon the continent.

    ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

  • After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art

    02
    Through the 1880s the very essence of representation, meaning and process in Western art were profoundly interrogated. Plausible representations of the external world were cast aside in favour of non-naturalism expressed in varying degrees, from modest distortions of reality to pure abstraction.

    The decades that followed, up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation. Concentrating on this period of great upheaval, this book will explore the constructive dialogue between painting and sculpture, and the influential roles played by three giants of the era, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, across European art as a whole. While acknowledging the centrality of Paris as a cultural capital, it will also uniquely highlight other centres of artistic ferment in Europe, from Brussels and Barcelona to Berlin and Vienna, and track the variety of routes into modernism in the early twentieth century.

    This fully illustrated catalogue will contain four essays, introductions to each city of ferment and biographies of the artists.

  • After Injury: Reflection, Recovery and Re-Becoming Your Best Self

    What does injury mean to you?

    A setback? A disaster? An obstacle? An opportunity?

    Labor and Employee Relations specialist Zaki J. Doudak reflects on the effects of injury, and offers his compassionate, clear-eyed guidance on how to respond when life changes lanes without indicating first.

    Drawing on years of academic study and writing experience at law firms specializing in the plights of injured workers – often times, ironically, while injured himself – Doudak gathers his professional expertise and a sprinkling of timeless wisdom into this short volume of inspiring mini-essays on overcoming hardship.

    Whether physical injury, psychological injury, cumulative trauma or sexual assault, Doudak offers encouragement, solace and ‘Big Picture’ strategies for coping when our batteries feel most depleted.

    Over 10 concise chapters, Doudak offers readers a positive new perspective, underwritten by hard-won insights from his own life. It’s a self-help book to navigate difficult times. A “pep talk for the soul.” A road-map to feeling fully recharged.

    While periods of incapacity and recovery can test our resolve, Doudak also believes they can provide a breathing space to reflect, reimagine and reevaluate our priorities. While we cannot change events, we can control how we react to them. And reinforcing positivity can make a key difference in outcomes.

    A speedy recovery is about more than physical healing. It’s about mindset, resilience, and even having the patience to rest, so as not to risk re-injury and a prolonged recovery. It is not just for you; it is an insurance policy for anyone else who relies on you to be a positive influence.

    While it is often for someone in a role of responsibility (a parent, partner or “breadwinner”) to feel like a burden, your ability to rely on others when you’re weak is often the surest way back to being strong for them.

    After Injury is a welcome reminder to anyone in a time of hardship that while injuries can mean the end of one chapter, they are almost always the start of another.

  • After the Final Whistle: The First Rugby World Cup and the First World War

    08

    When Britain’s empire went to war in August 1914, rugby players were the first to volunteer: they led from the front and paid a disproportionate price. When the Armistice came after four long years, their war game was over; even as the last echo of the guns of November faded, it was time to play rugby again. As Allied troops of all nations waited to return home, sport occupied their minds and bodies. In 1919, a grateful Mother Country hosted a rugby tournament for the King’s Cup, to be presented by King George V at Twickenham Stadium. It was a moment of triumph, a celebration of military victory, of Allied unity and of rugby values, moral and physical. Never before had teams from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Britain and France been assembled in one place. Rugby held the first ever ‘World Cup’ – football would not play its own version until 1930. In 2015 the modern Rugby World Cup returns to England and Twickenham as the world remembers the Centenary of the Great War. With a foreword by Jason Leonard, this is the story of rugby’s journey through the First World War to its first World Cup, and how those values endure today.

  • Against Decolonisation: Taking African Agency Seriously (African Arguments)

    01

    Selected as one of ‘100 Notable African Books of 2022’ in Brittle Paper 

    A leading African political philosopher’s searing intellectual and moral critique of today’s decolonisation movement.

    Decolonisation has lost its way. Originally a struggle to escape the West’s direct political and economic control, it has become a catch-all idea, often for performing ‘morality’ or ‘authenticity’; it suffocates African thought and denies African agency.

    Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò fiercely rejects the indiscriminate application of ‘decolonisation’ to everything from literature, language and philosophy to sociology, psychology and medicine. He argues that the decolonisation industry, obsessed with cataloguing wrongs, is seriously harming scholarship on and in Africa. He finds ‘decolonisation’ of culture intellectually unsound and wholly unrealistic, conflating modernity with coloniality, and groundlessly advocating an open-ended undoing of global society’s foundations. Worst of all, today’s movement attacks its own cause: ‘decolonisers’ themselves are disregarding, infantilising and imposing values on contemporary African thinkers.

    This powerful, much-needed intervention questions whether today’s ‘decolonisation’ truly serves African empowerment. Táíwò’s is a bold challenge to respect African intellectuals as innovative adaptors, appropriators and synthesisers of ideas they have always seen as universally relevant.

    Hali Waverly is gearing up for a big change. The hip surgery she’s been dreading is only two weeks out, and that means it’s time to get things in order before she’s down for the count to recuperate. She has a plan….and then the unthinkable happens.
    When leaving the doctor after scheduling surgery, a bank robbery suspect crosses Hali’s path. When his mask is removed, her boyfriend Gray Hunter recognizes him as a fellow shifter, and the questions only grow from there.
    It seems there are a lot of strange shifters hanging around St. Pete Beach, and they don’t belong to the same faction. The one spot they agree to meet is Hali’s tiki bar…and sparks—and fur—are about to fly.
    Hali doesn’t want to get involved in pack politics, but she might not have a choice. For Gray, who turned his back on the pack years ago, the appearance of warring factions on his turf means bad things are about to happen. He has no choice but to stand up and fight, however.
    Hali knows what she wants for her future. Unfortunately for her, she’s going to have to go to war to get it. This fight—so many claws and teeth to contend with—might be out of her reach.

    ‘A riveting portrait’
    – GUARDIAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR

    ***
    ‘Worsley’s sparkling biography brings a fresh eye to Christie’s life and work, firmly busting the myth that she, or her novels, were cosy.’ Daily Mail

    ‘Every Christie fan should read this’ – The Times

    ‘Shows the Queen of Crime in a new light.’ – Daily Telegraph

    ‘Worsley’s book excels in bringing a broader historical perspective to Christie’s life and work, and her enthusiasm is infectious.’ – Observer

    ‘Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.’

    Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was ‘just’ an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn’t? As Lucy Worsley says, ‘She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern’. She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness.

    So why – despite all the evidence to the contrary – did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?
    She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn’t do. Lucy Worsley’s biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer. It’s also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman.

    With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley’s biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was – truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

  • Agentic Artificial Intelligence: Harnessing AI Agents to Reinvent Business, Work and Life

    01

    A practical, non-technical guide for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and curious minds

    “Agents are (…) bringing about the biggest revolution in computing since we went from typing commands to tapping on icons.” — Bill Gates
    “AI agents will become the primary way we interact with computers in the future.” — Satya Nadella
    “The age of agentic AI is here”— Jensen Huang

    In a world where ChatGPT took us by storm, a far more powerful revolution is unfolding: AI Agents. Like Jarvis in Iron Man or Samantha in Her, these intelligent systems can execute actions, learn from experience, and orchestrate digital interactions with minimal human supervision. They promise to redefine business and society.

    However, behind the excitement lies a crucial reality: a significant gap between promise and reality.

    This comprehensive guide on agentic AI cuts through the hype and offers a clear, jargon-free strategic roadmap to understanding and applying this technology. The authors bring a rare perspective, having implemented agentic AI across diverse organizations—from global enterprises to agile startups—witnessing both remarkable successes and sobering failures.

    Through illuminating case studies and hands-on experiments, the authors reveal:

    • A step-by-step method for identifying high-value agentic opportunities and building impactful agents in your business, work, and personal life

    • The secrets behind today’s most successful agentic transformations at scale: cutting costs by over 25% while boosting customer satisfaction by over 40%

    • Approaches to seize the new opportunities of the Agent Economy—new business models, Agentic-driven startups, rapid scaling, and game-changing revenue opportunities.

    • Hands-on guidance to navigate common pitfalls such as workflow integration, error handling, data quality, agent control, and user adoption

    • The new mindset and skills required to lead effectively in a world where humans and AI agents need to work seamlessly together

    • The profound impact of agentic AI on society, employment, education, and our personal lives

    AI agents create what the authors call “compounding intelligence advantages”—the more they’re used, the smarter they become, creating an accelerating gap between early adopters and laggards. Hence, those who understand and leverage AI agents today will define the next business era.

    The question isn’t whether AI agents will transform your industry—it’s how you will lead that change. Every revolution demands foresight and responsibility. This book challenges you to not just adopt agentic AI, but to shape it with purpose and integrity.

  • Aggressor: (Nick Stone Thriller 8)

    08

    The Number One Bestselling Thriller from Britain’s original SAS hero.

    ‘A rollercoaster ride’ Guardian
    ________

    Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone seems to be living his dream, not a care in the world as he steers his camper van round the surfing and parachuting paradise of Australia, a board on the roof, a freefall rig behind him, and a beautiful young backpacker at his side.

    But when he sees a news report of the massacre of women and children in a terrorist outrage the other side of the world, long-suppressed memories are triggered, and Nick knows he must risk everything to repay a longstanding debt of friendship.

    As events unfold in the bleak, medieval villages of Georgia and teeming streets of modern Istanbul, Nick finds himself catapulted once more into the murky, clandestine world he thought he’d left behind – a world in the grip of nameless enemies who linger in the shadows, and stalk the corridors of power…

    Hurtled at breakneck pace through a deadly landscape of greed, violence and ever-shifting allegiances, the reader will be left in no doubt that McNab is the master of the genre – and Aggressor shows McNab at his searing, blockbusting best.

  • Agile Technical Practices Distilled: A learning journey in technical practices and principles of software design

    04

    Delve deep into the various technical practices, principles, and values of Agile.

    Key Features

    • Discover the essence of Agile software development and the key principles of software design
    • Explore the fundamental practices of Agile working, including test-driven development (TDD), refactoring, pair programming, and continuous integration
    • Learn and apply the four elements of simple design

    Book Description

    The number of popular technical practices has grown exponentially in the last few years. Learning the common fundamental software development practices can help you become a better programmer. This book uses the term Agile as a wide umbrella and covers Agile principles and practices, as well as most methodologies associated with it.

    You’ll begin by discovering how driver-navigator, chess clock, and other techniques used in the pair programming approach introduce discipline while writing code. You’ll then learn to safely change the design of your code using refactoring. While learning these techniques, you’ll also explore various best practices to write efficient tests. The concluding chapters of the book delve deep into the SOLID principles – the five design principles that you can use to make your software more understandable, flexible and maintainable.

    By the end of the book, you will have discovered new ideas for improving your software design skills, the relationship within your team, and the way your business works.

    What you will learn

    • Learn the red, green, refactor cycle of classic TDD and practice the best habits such as the rule of 3, triangulation, object calisthenics, and more
    • Refactor using parallel change and improve legacy code with characterization tests, approval tests, and Golden Master
    • Use code smells as feedback to improve your design
    • Learn the double cycle of ATDD and the outside-in mindset using mocks and stubs correctly in your tests
    • Understand how Coupling, Cohesion, Connascence, SOLID principles, and code smells are all related
    • Improve the understanding of your business domain using BDD and other principles for “doing the right thing, not only the thing right”

    Who this book is for

    This book is designed for software developers looking to improve their technical practices. Software coaches may also find it helpful as a teaching reference manual. This is not a beginner’s book on how to program. You must be comfortable with at least one programming language and must be able to write unit tests using any unit testing framework.
