Tina: The Inspiring Tale of a World-changing Friendship Between One Man and a Dog
Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.
It’s not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.
When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more.
He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.
From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they’re street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.
This is her story.
Niall Harbison’s book ‘Hope – How Street Dogs Taught Me the Meaning of Li’ was a No.2 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-08-28.

Floating Home: Lessons from a life less ordinary
When Adam Lind lost his father as a teenager, his grief became a powerful turning point: a catalyst for change. Driven by a deep desire to find meaning and purpose, Adam set out on a journey that would shape the course of his life: first hitchhiking from London to Iran, then returning to embrace an unconventional life aboard a narrowboat, roaming the British Waterways. These life-altering experiences gave him a new lens through which to view freedom, adversity, and what it truly means to live.
In this uplifting book, Adam shares the ten core principles that helped him find freedom and fulfillment, even in the face of adversity. From discovering the power of community, to transforming adversity into opportunity, to understanding why discipline is essential for a meaningful life, Floating Home offers a practical and inspiring guide to living intentionally.
But Adam’s story is just one part of this rich tapestry. Throughout the book, he introduces readers to a vibrant cast of characters from his boating community: the ‘Humans of the Waterways.’ Each shares their own story of why they chose boat life, revealing raw and relatable truths about modern life: the pressure of the housing market, the ache of unfulfilling careers or relationships, or the fear that it’s too late to change. These voices offer a chorus of wisdom, showing that the path to freedom is different for everyone, but the call is universal.
Floating Home is a celebration of life beyond the ordinary, reminding us that purpose isn’t found in the places we live, but in how we choose to live: with courage, connection and a deep sense of freedom.

Ocean: Earth’s Last Wilderness
From the icy oceans of our poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough has filmed in every ocean habitat on planet earth. Now, with long-term collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of our last great, critical wilderness, and the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe.
Through one hundred years, eight unique ocean habitats, countless intriguing species – and through personal stories, history and cutting-edge science – Ocean uncovers the mystery, the wonder and the frailty of the most unexplored habitat on our planet. And it shows its remarkable resilience: it is the part of our world that can, and in some cases has, recovered the fastest, and in our lifetimes we could see a fully restored marine world, even richer and more spectacular than we could possibly hope, if we act now.
It is a book almost a century in the making, but one that has never been more urgently needed.

The Short Sunderland: The Legendary WWII Flying Boat (Great Planes of World War Two Book 3)
A compelling history of the most successful flying boat ever to serve the Royal Air Force—the ‘Queen of the Boats’—the Short Sunderland.Ideal for fans of Alexander McKee, Andrew Hendrie, Ken Delve, and Martin W. Bowman.
The story of the Sunderland flying boat began with the innovative Short brothers, Horace, Albert, and Hugh, who, since 1908, were at the forefront of British aeroplane design and manufacturing. Having trained the first Royal Navy officers as pilots in their flying machines and successfully deployed seaplanes during World War One, they were well-positioned in 1933 to meet the RAF’s need for a long-range, four-engine flying boat with armaments, sleeping accommodations, and catering facilities. The result was the Short Sunderland, entering RAF service and history books in 1938.
In this book, Chaz Bowyer traces the evolution of this remarkable aircraft and the valuable contribution it made to the Allied campaign worldwide throughout the Second World War. Bowyer’s research is thorough and exhaustive, drawing on sources that include original documentation, reports, and many first-hand accounts from those who flew or worked on the Sunderland in the UK and abroad.
The Sunderland served the RAF for a total of 21 years, during which it is estimated to have been instrumental in destroying or damaging at least 60 German and Italian U-boats. Operating as part of Coastal Command, it played a vital role throughout the war: protecting shipping routes and convoys, reconnaissance, supplying aid and evacuations, air-sea rescues, and passenger transportation, to name but a few. Post-war, its usefulness endured, supporting the Berlin Airlift, with many aircraft converted for use in civil aviation. Reading this account, it is easy to see why the Sunderland inspired such awe and affection among those who lived and worked with it.

‘Quietly profound, beautifully written, Hare is now lodged in my heart’ – TRACY CHEVALIER
__Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me.
When Chloe, a city-dwelling professional with a high-pressure job, finds a newly born hare, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival – despite being the least likely caregiver to this wild animal.
Raising Hare is the story of their journey together. It chronicles an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. Their improbable bond of trust reminds us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.
This edition includes a moving new chapter

You Bet Your Life: The Burdens of Gambling
We are a nation of gamblers: pari-mutuel wagering at horse tracks; blackjack in Las Vegas; the NCAA basketball office pool; even day trading on the internet. Gambling is both our national pastime and our predominant cultural metaphor—play the field; beat the odds; take a chance on love. Yet gambling poses serious risks to individuals and to society as a whole.
Neil Isaacs—sports historian, licensed clinical social worker, English professor, and a gambler himself for more than fifty years—seeks to shatter the myths interfering with our understanding of gambling addiction, its causes, and its treatment. He begins by systematically debunking several commonly held beliefs, demonstrating that there is no such thing as the law of averages, that gambling is not inherently sinful, immoral, or criminal, and that money is not always the prime motivator for gamblers.
Isaacs shows how habitual gambling can lead to compulsive gambling, but avoids oversimplifying this condition. Arguing against a undifferentiated interpretation of pathological gambling as a simple impulse control disorder, he draws examples from fiction, film, and his own practice to demonstrate additional ways gambling can be abused. A radical departure from established views, You Bet Your Life identifies the costs—in dollars, people, families, and credit ratings—of society’s failure to address adequately the burdens of gambling.

You Call, We Haul: The Life and Times of Bob Carter (Old Pond Books) Inspirational Story of the Founder of Haulage Company, Trans UK; Explore British Transport in the Heyday of…
Best known for founding international haulier Trans UK, Bob Carter was involved in the groundbreaking changes occurring in British transport of the ’60s and ’70s. Beginning in the army, where he witnessed nuclear testing on Christmas Island in the 1950s, Carter went on to be a driver, office worker, and, finally, company owner.
Never afraid to get his hands dirty, Bob was able to turn his hand to any aspect of his business operation, from repairing mechanical defects to operating forklifts and driving his own trucks. In 1975, he set out on Trans UK’s maiden run to Iran in his Humber Sceptre with four of his trucks in convoy—the first trip of many for the company.
The denationalization of BRS and the implementation of the ‘O’ licence, the rapid growth of privately owned haulage companies, combined with the Middle East oil boom of the ’70s, all helped Bob to develop a successful British and international transport operation.
Including nearly 300 previously unpublished photos, You Call, We Haul is an inspirational story which will appeal to those with an interest in the heyday of Middle East travel, and those with a general love of great British transport companies.

In this children’s book, your child will learn through poetry and rhyme how they can be an actor too, if they know just what to do.Emma Rayne Lyle is a child actress best known for her roles as ‘Bridget’ in the feature film “Jessica Darling’s It List”, ‘Nicole Bloom’ in the feature film “Why Stop Now”, and Emily Reddy in the feature film I Don’t Know How She Does It which earned her the Young Artist Award as Best Young Actress Age Ten and Under.

Many acting books are full of useless text and fluff and by the time you finish the book, you still have no idea where to start.
Ain’t nobody got time for that! Especially moms and dads.

You Like It Darker
‘You like it darker? Fine, so do I’, writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life – both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel ‘the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind’, and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
‘Two Talented Bastids’ explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In ‘Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream’, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In ‘Rattlesnakes’, a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance – with major strings attached. In ‘The Dreamers’, a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. ‘The Answer Man’ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.

King writes to feel ‘the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind’, and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
‘Two Talented Bastids’ explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In ‘Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream’, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In ‘Rattlesnakes’, a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance – with major strings attached. In ‘The Dreamers’, a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. ‘The Answer Man’ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.
‘As classic as King’s novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years’ – USA Today
‘One of the great storytellers of our time’ – Guardian

At the age of twenty-two, Lisa Jakub had what she was supposed to want: she was a working actor in Los Angeles. She had more than forty movies and TV shows to her name, she had been in blockbusters like Mrs. Doubtfire and Independence Day , she walked the red carpet and lived in the house she bought when she was fifteen. But something was missing. Passion. Purpose. Happiness. Lisa had been working since the age of four, after a man approached her parents at a farmer’s market and asked her to audition for a commercial. That chance encounter dictated the next eighteen years of her unusual and frequently awkwardlife. She met Princess Diana… and almost fell on her while attempting to curtsy. She filmed in exciting locations… and her high school asked her not to come back. She went to fancy parties… and got kind of kidnapped that one time. Success was complicated. Making movies, traveling the world, and meeting intriguing people was fun for a while, but Lisa eventually realized she was living a life based on momentum and definitions of success that were not her own.

You May Never See Us Again: The Barclay Dynasty: A Story of Survival, Secrecy and Succession
‘A tour de force’ – Guardian
‘Forensic … Strong on financial detail’ – Financial Times
The untold story of post-war Britain. Told through the lives of the two men who helped shape it: Sir David Barclay and Sir Frederick Barclay.
You May Never See Us Again is the only definitive story of David and Frederick Barclay – commonly known as the Barclay brothers. Born poor, these enigmatic twins built one of the biggest fortunes in Britain together from scratch and spent six decades at the epicentre of British business, media and politics. Their empire, said to be worth £7bn at its height, included Littlewoods, the Ritz Hotel, The Daily Telegraph and the channel island of Brecqhou. They were major advocates for Brexit and well-connected with influential politicians including Margaret Thatcher, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage.
And yet despite their fortune and influence, their fiercely guarded desire for privacy has meant that their story remained largely unknown – until a very public family dispute pitched Barclay against Barclay in the High Court.
Journalist Jane Martinson unravels the fascinating story of these once inseparable billionaire brothers. Through their lives she offers compelling insights into post-war Britain, from the conditions that enabled their way of doing business to thrive through to the tightly enmeshed webs of influence between capitalism, politics and the media that shape Britain today.Read more

You Should Be Grateful: Stories of Race, Identity, and Transracial Adoption
An adoption expert and transracial adoptee herself examines the unique perspectives and challenges these adoptees have as they navigate multiple cultures“Your parents are so amazing for adopting you! You should be grateful that you were adopted.”
Angela Tucker is a Black woman, adopted from foster care by white parents. She has heard this microaggression her entire life, usually from well-intentioned strangers who view her adoptive parents as noble saviors. She is grateful for many aspects of her life, but being transracially adopted involves layers of rejection, loss, and complexity that cannot be summed up so easily.
In “You Should Be Grateful,” Tucker centers the experiences of adoptees to share deeply personal stories, well-researched history, and engrossing anecdotes from mentorship sessions with adopted youth. These perspectives challenge the fairy-tale narrative of adoption, giving way to a fuller story that explores the impacts of racism, classism, family, love, and belonging.

Turns out, spending time with your former nemesis can be fun when you’re both too sad and miserable to hate each other.
And as odd as it seems, they become friends-without-benefits, finding comfort in late night Netflix binges, swiping through each other’s online dating profiles, and bickering endlessly on their phones across boroughs. It’s better than romance. Until one night, the unspoken boundaries of their platonic relationship begin to blur…
With sharp observations and sizzling chemistry, YOU, AGAIN explores the dynamics of co-ed friendship in this sparkling romantic comedy of modern love in all its forms.

It’s the Summer of Love, yet unwed mothers’ maternity homes are flourishing, secret closed adoptions are routine, and many young women still have no voice.In You’ll Forget This Ever Happened, Laura Engel takes us back to the Deep South during the turbulent 1960s to explore the oppression of young women who have committed the socially unacceptable crime of becoming pregnant without a ring on their finger. After being forced to give up her newborn son for adoption, Engel lives inside a fortress of silent shame for fifty years—but when her secret son finds her and her safe world is cracked open, those walls crumble.
Are you still a mother even if you have not raised your child? Can the mother/child bond survive years of separation? How deep is the damage caused by buried family secrets and shame? Engel asks herself these and many other questions as she becomes acquainted with the son she never knew, and seeks the acceptance and forgiveness she has long denied herself. Full of both aching sadness and soaring joy, You’ll Forget This Ever Happened is a shocking exposé of a shameful part of our country’s recent past—and a poignant tale of a mother’s enduring love.

Written by former Navy SEAL and professional athlete Chad Metcalf, with a forward written by a two-time World Series winner, this life-changing manual is the proven system for building resilience and confidence… so you can win not only in sports, but also in life!
Turn your setbacks into breakthroughs – level up your game, build self-confidence, and start winning!
Do you ever feel like you’re just not good enough? Like no matter how hard you train, you always fall short of your goals?
Maybe you’re tired of feeling anxious before big games or choking under pressure.
Perhaps you’re getting frustrated with your lack of progress despite putting in hours of practice… or you’re just looking for that extra edge to take your game to the next level.
Whatever your situation may be, they all boil down to one thing: you need to cultivate mental strength.
All successful athletes in any sport swear by the critical role of mental toughness in achieving success. In fact, professional boxing legend Muhammad Ali once said, “Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
Because without mental toughness, the greatest sporting figures wouldn’t have reached the pinnacle of their game. But more interestingly, mental toughness can be used in other areas of your life, too!
Despite its importance, however, not many people pay attention to building a tough mentality. They don’t realize that it can make all the difference in their performance, whether it’s on the field, in the classroom, or at work.
But you don’t have to be one of them. You can choose to get ahead… with the help of this transformative guidebook.
Inside, you will discover:
- How to use mental toughness as a superpower in any situation – unlock your full potential and push through any challenge
- The importance of assessing your skills, strengths, and weaknesses – know what you’re capable of and be able to pinpoint the areas needing improvement
- Why you need to seek out and gain knowledge from various sources and translate your learnings into action – knowledge is power, no matter where you are!
- Surefire ways to develop your skills with deliberate practice – ever wondered why other professional athletes spend most of their time training?
- The secret to developing two mindsets: training and competition (each is equally important and critical to achieving your goals and embarking on this journey to success)
- Effective strategies to use failure as an opportunity for growth – be comfortable with failing, as it is all part of the ultimate game plan!
- The parallels between sports and real life… and how you can utilize mental toughness to not just survive but thrive and succeed
And much more!
You might think you don’t have what it takes to be mentally tough or that mental toughness is only for elite athletes, but that’s just not true.
Sure, many have failed at acquiring this crucial skill, but it doesn’t have to be you. You have this book to walk you through every step of the process.
So… shall we start training?

Young Mungo: The No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller
Shortlisted for the Booktok Book of the Year.
The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller.‘Prepare your hearts, for Douglas Stuart is back. After the extraordinary success of Shuggie Bain, his second novel, Young Mungo, is another beautiful and moving book, a gay Romeo and Juliet set in the brutal world of Glasgow’s housing estates.’ – The Observer
The extraordinary, powerful second novel from the Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain, Young Mungo is both a vivid portrayal of working-class life in 80s Glasgow, and the deeply moving story of the dangerous first love of two young men.
Born under different stars, Protestant Mungo and Catholic James live in a hyper-masculine world. They are caught between two of Glasgow’s housing estates, where young working-class men divide themselves along sectarian lines, and fight territorial battles for the sake of reputation.
They should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all, and yet they become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the doocot that James has built for his prize racing pigeons. As they begin to fall in love, they dream of escaping the grey city, and Mungo must work hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his elder brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold.
But the threat of discovery is constant and the punishment unspeakable. When Mungo’s mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in western Scotland with two strange men behind whose drunken banter lie murky pasts, he needs to summon all his inner strength and courage to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future.
Douglas Stuart’s Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the meaning of masculinity, the push and pull of family, the violence faced by so many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much.
