Blade: King of Graffiti
BLADE has already told his life story through graffiti. Now, over forty years into his career and armed with an incredible memory, BLADE sits down with Chris Pape to reflect on growing up in the Bronx in the turbulent 1970s, and recounts the highs and lows of his storied career, holding nothing back. BLADE is considered The King of Graffiti because, by 1980, after painting 5,000 wildly creative trains, he stopped counting. This book parallels the New York graffiti movement almost from its inception, moving through its glory years in the mid-1970s, when BLADE earned his title, and ending in the global art scene, where he remains a major presence. BLADE helped New York graffiti become internationally famous by making it look fun, and, for reasons of quantity, quality, and, perhaps above all, for sheer spirit, BLADE may very well be the most popular graffiti artist with his peers. Chris Pape was born in 1960. He grew up on the upper west side of Manhattan where he watched the birth of the graffiti movement. He currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Elsa, and their kids, Cora and Dash.Read more

War: How Conflict Shaped Us
New York Times 10 Best Books of 2020
Sunday Times best books for Autumn 2020
Guardian critics’ pick for Autumn 2020
Wall Street Journal notable book of 2020The time since the Second World War has been seen by some as the longest uninterrupted period of harmony in human history: the ‘long peace’, as Stephen Pinker called it. But despite this, there has been a military conflict ongoing every year since 1945. The same can be said for every century of recorded history. Is war, therefore, an essential part of being human?
In War, Professor Margaret MacMillan explores the deep links between society and war and the questions they raise. We learn when war began – whether among early homo sapiens or later, as we began to organise ourselves into tribes and settle in communities. We see the ways in which war reflects changing societies and how war has brought change – for better and worse.
Economies, science, technology, medicine, culture: all are instrumental in war and have been shaped by it – without conflict it we might not have had penicillin, female emancipation, radar or rockets. Throughout history, writers, artists, film-makers, playwrights, and composers have been inspired by war – whether to condemn, exalt or simply puzzle about it. If we are never to be rid of war, how should we think about it and what does that mean for peace?

Alexandria: The City that Changed the World: ‘Monumental’ – Daily Telegraph
‘Monumental and vividly imagined . . . a fitting tribute to a city that has survived, changed and grown for so many centuries’
Daily Telegraph‘A cornucopia of fascinating details, every page revealing a new delight’
Paul Strathern, author of The Medici: Godfathers of the RenaissanceA city drawn in sand.
Inspired by the tales of Homer and his own ambitions of empire, Alexander the Great sketched the idea of a city onto the sparsely populated Egyptian coastline. He did not live to see Alexandria built, but his vision of a sparkling metropolis that celebrated learning and diversity was swiftly realised and still stands today.
Situated on the cusp of Africa, Europe and Asia, great civilisations met in Alexandria. Together, Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital of enormous influence: the inventive collaboration of its citizens shaped modern philosophy, science, religion and more. In pitched battles, later empires, from the Arabs and Ottomans to the French and British, laid claim to the city but its independent spirit endures.
In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a journey across millennia, rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, from Cleopatra to Napoleon. From its humble origins to dizzy heights and present-day strife, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.

Alice Neel – People Come First
Positioning Alice Neel as a champion of civil rights, this book explores how her paintings convey her humanist politics and capture the humanity, strength, and vulnerability of her subjects
“One of the most ambitious and thorough collections of Neel’s work to date.”―Allison Schaller, Vanity Fair
“For me, people come first,” Alice Neel (1900–1984) declared in 1950. “I have tried to assert the dignity and eternal importance of the human being.” This ambitious publication surveys Neel’s nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York’s global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel’s emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist’s erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel’s portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity. The authors also explore Neel’s highly personal preoccupations with death, illness, and motherhood while reasserting her place in the broader cultural history of the 20th century.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press

Is anyone ever who they seem?
After suffering the tragic loss of her best friend, Lottie Beck is struggling. Aged eighteen, she’s flunked school and spends her days lying in a darkened room, doing nothing. Finally, she is forced to get a job at Silver Birches Care Home.
Once there, and after meeting the residents, particularly the feisty, no-nonsense Bobby, she settles in, appreciating how much history lies behind each person. A history she can read, in her own special way, via the touch of a hand.
Alice is another resident, aged ninety-two, and mute. A woman who has always been institutionalised and is now near the end of days. It is she who intrigues Lottie the most, but whom she also fears. All she knows is something happened to make her the way she is, an event on Christmas Eve, way back, something sinister.
Surely she deserves peace, but if together they aren’t brave enough to confront what lurks in the darkest recesses of her mind, she’ll die in anguish.
It’s Christmas Eve again, 2023, and as Lottie is about to find out: not all ghosts are dead.

She’s the target of an intergalactic bounty hunt. If he wants to protect her, first he’ll have to capture her heart.
Aurora Day is running from a crime she didn’t commit – or at least, she didn’t mean to commit. But the intergalactic soldiers on the hunt for the woman known as the Fox don’t care about the details. Hiding out on the remote frontier moon of Clotho is her only hope for survival. But to gain access, she has to adopt an alien baby. Aurora is shocked when she learns that a dragon warrior of the Invicta is part of the package.Tyro:
Phoebe has nothing but her secrets. Her grumpy alien protector is determined to lay them bare.
Phoebe arrives on the moon of Clotho with a trunk full of secrets and an imagination filled with preconceived notions about life on the frontier. She’s more than ready to scrap and fight for her own piece of farmland, and a future for the little one she is adopting. When her new land turns out to be underwater, and the baby shows up in the strapping arms of an Invicta dragon-guard, Phoebe doubles down on her promise to herself to live free, or die trying.Indulge in all five Alien Adoption Agency collections:

Jhon:
Will this steely dragon warrior choose duty over love?Jhon was taken from his family at a young age to become a member of the elite Invicta dragon force. Since that time, he has lived with one purpose, putting his duty to his brothers-in-arms before anything. And now he’s out on the tundra, contending with strange predators, mammoths, and islands that float in the sky. The last thing he has time for is love.
But the feelings Bo’s adoptive mother awakens in his dragon threaten to topple his duty, his self-control, and the very foundation of his sanity.
Rafe:
She’s determined never to be with another man. Can this gorgeous dragon-shifting guard change her mind?After being tricked into indentured servitude on the pleasure ships, Jade Gatlin is determined to avoid male attention for the rest of her days. The opportunity to adopt a little one and start a new life on a frontier moon, where she can heal the wounds of her tortured soul, sounds almost too good to be true. But the baby shows up in the arms of a rakish dragon guard, who holds Jade’s eyes too long and gives her unwanted shivers at every accidental touch.
Rafe has spent his career as a hotshot pilot for the Invicta dragon army. Handsome, fun-loving, and an ace with the ladies, Rafe is stunned when he realizes the serious Terran girl with the golden hair is his fated mate. And even more stunned when she tells him she’s not interested.
Kian:
Only a tiny baby alien could ever hope to bring together this grumpy, dragon-shifting warrior and the lighthearted pre-school teacher fated to be his mate…Silent and serious warrior Kian is being forced to leave his brothers-in-arms to watch over an Imberian baby and her adoptive mother. It’s bad enough to feel his ancient heart softening for the little whelp. But after one whiff of the beautiful Terran girl meant to be the baby’s mother, he is wrecked by the knowledge that this is his fated mate.
Their long trek across the frontier moon’s dangerous tundra will threaten their very lives.
But what good is Kian’s life when his soul is caught up in a fight against his nature, as he begs the gods to release him from the bond that pulls him tighter every day to the woman with the sparkling eyes and achingly soft curves?
If you like strong women, sexy aliens, wild adventures, steamy sensual scenes, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love the world of the Alien Adoption Agency!

Aligning Strategy and Sales: The Choices, Systems, and Behaviors that Drive Effective Selling
“The best sales book of the year” strategy+business magazineThat gap between your company’s sales efforts and strategy? It’s realand a huge vulnerability. Addressing that gap, actionably and with attention to relevant research, is the focus of this book.
In Aligning Strategy and Sales, Harvard Business School professor Frank Cespedes equips you to link your go-to-market initiatives with strategic goals. Cespedes offers a road map to articulate strategy in ways that people in the field can understand and that will fuel the behaviors required for profitable growth. Without that alignment, leaders will press for better execution when they need a better strategy, or change strategic direction with great cost and turmoil when they should focus on the basics of sales execution.
With thoughtful, clear, and engaging examples, Aligning Strategy and Sales provides a framework for diagnosing and managing the core levers available for effective selling in any organization. It will give you the know-how and tools to move from ideas to action and build a sales effort linked to your firm’s unique goals, not a generic selling formula.
Cespedes shows how sales efforts affect all elements of value creation in a business, whether you’re a start-up seeking to scale or an established firm looking to jump-start new growth. The book provides key insights to optimize your firm’s customer management activities and so improve selling and strategy.

Alive Today: How Speaking Out Saved My Life and Helped Me Navigate My Mental Health Journey
In Alive Today: How Speaking Out Saved My Life and Helped Me Navigate My Mental Health Journey, author Naushad Qayyum takes readers on a deeply intimate journey through the profound challenges of grief, loss, and mental health struggles while emphasising the transformative power of open dialogue.
The book unfolds with the surreal and tragic events of the author’s wedding day, marked by the sudden collapse and death of his father. As the story evolves, readers witness the author’s emotional rollercoaster, navigating the aftermath of loss, divorce, and a contemplation of suicide, which ultimately leads to a diagnosis of complex PTSD. Through candid reflections, the book sheds light on the societal expectations placed on men, challenging stereotypes and advocating for the importance of mental health conversations.
At its heart, Alive Today is a poignant exploration of resilience, recovery, and the author’s determination to break the silence surrounding men’s mental health. Each chapter delves into different facets of the author’s journey, from the transformative impact of a father’s guidance to the depths of despair and eventual path to healing. The book is not only a personal account, but also a call to action, as the author takes proactive steps to address the lack of mental health support for men, particularly within the Arab and South Asian communities. A follow-up book that examines even more deeply this important topic is currently being planned and will appear in 2024.
With a focus on nature, routine, and holistic well-being, Alive Today offers insights into the ongoing process of recovery and the author’s commitment to raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. Alive Today is much more than a memoir; it is a heartfelt invitation for readers to confront their own struggles, seek help, and foster a community of understanding and empathy.

ALL AT SEA
Shortlisted for the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize
The thing to remember about this story is that every word is true. If I never told it to a soul, and this book did not exist, it would not cease to be true. I don t mind at all if you forget this.
The important thing is that I don t.
On a hot still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead s life changed for ever.
Her four-year-old boy was paddling peacefully at the water s edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their son s life then drowned before her eyes.
When Decca and Tony first met a decade earlier, they became the most improbable couple in London. She was an award-winning Guardian journalist, famous for interviewing leading politicians. He was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug-dealing and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but it did. Until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the dark chasm of random tragedy.
Exploring race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, ALL AT SEA is a remarkable story of love and loss, of how one couple changed each other s lives and of what a sudden death can do to the people who survive.

All I Want To Know Is Where I’m Going To Die So I’ll Never Go There: Buffett & Munger – A Study in Simplicity and Uncommon, Common Sense
This book is about the fictitious Seeker, who has known a lot of misery, and his visit to the “Library of Wisdom” where he meets another fictitious character – the Librarian- along with Warren Buffett and Charles Munger. The Seeker learns how to make better decisions to help his children avoid doing the dumb things he has done. For instance, he learns from Buffett and Munger the best way to prevent trouble is to avoid it altogether by learning what works and what does not. They do so in the spirit of the anonymous man who said: “All I want to know is where I’m going to die so I’ll never go there.” Additionally, the book provides examples of pure folly and some lessons on how to make fewer dumb mistakes than other people. And then how to fix mistakes faster, should you make them. The major lesson is “ignorance removal” and the notion that decision-making is not about making brilliant decision, but avoiding terrible ones. This is not a book for those who like complexities or advanced math – rather it’s for those who love efficiency, simplicity and common sense or judgment – hallmarks of Buffett and Munger. Like Einstein, both have a remarkable ability to eliminate folly and superficiality and get directly to the heart of things. As with Poor Charlie’s Almanack, Seeking Wisdom, A Few Lessons and The Most Important Thing, net proceeds from sales of All I Want To Know Is Where I’m Going To Die So I’ll Never Go There will be donated to charitable, non-profit organizations.Read more

All in Good Time: Reflections of a Watchmaker
All in Good Time is the remarkable story of George Daniels (1926-2011), the master craftsman, who was born into poverty but raised himself to become the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth century. Daniels stands alone in modern times as the inventor of the revolutionary co-axial escapement, the first substantial advance in portable mechanical timekeeping over the lever escapement, which has dominated ever since its invention in 1759. Daniels’s love of mechanics embraced not only the minute, however – he was also a passionate collector and driver of historic motorcars. This revised and expanded edition of his autobiography also contains a new section that illustrates and discusses over thirty of the pocket and wrist-watches Daniels himself made over the years. Witness here the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity, matchless skill and singularity of purpose over the most unpromising of beginnings.Read more
