Everything is Everything: The Top 10 Bestseller
‘Infinitely more readable than the average journalism memoir, and decidedly more important.’ – Sathnam Sanghera, The Times
‘So engaging. You feel as if he is talking to you, sharing ideas and thoughts, as if you were a friend.’ – Yasmin Ahlibai-Brown
As a Bolton teenager with a paper round, Clive Myrie read all the newspapers he delivered from cover to cover and dreamed of becoming a journalist. In this deeply personal memoir, he tells how his family history has influenced his view of the world, introducing us to his Windrush generation parents, a great grandfather who helped build the Panama Canal, and a great uncle who fought in the First World War, later to become a prominent police detective in Jamaica.
He reflects on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he’s encountered in thirty years reporting some of the biggest stories of our time (most recently from Ukraine), showing us how those experiences gave him a better idea of what it means to be an outsider. He tells of his pride in his roots, but his determination not to be defined by his background in dealing with the challenges of race and class to succeed at the highest level.
Moving, engaging, revealing, Everything is Everything is a story of love and hate – but also hope.

International bestseller Jeffrey Archer returns
THE UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER FROM THE MASTER STORYTELLER
‘Only someone like Jeffrey Archer . . . could have written a compelling story like this. Every page bristles with suspense and the ending comes at you with the force of a tank round’ DAVID BALDACCI
London, 1988. Royal fever sweeps the nation as Britain falls in love with the ‘people’s princess’.
Which means for Scotland Yard, the focus is on the elite Royalty Protection Command, and its commanding officer. Entrusted with protecting the most famous family on earth, they quite simply have to be the best. A weak link could spell disaster.
Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick and his Scotland Yard squad are sent in to investigate the team. Maverick ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan is charged with a very sensitive – and unique – responsibility. But it soon becomes clear the problems in Royalty Protection are just the beginning. A renegade organization has the security of the country – and the Crown – in its sights. The only question is which target is next in line…

The Design of Everyday Things, revised and expanded edition (The MIT Press)
Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we try to figure out the shower control in a hotel or attempt to navigate an unfamiliar television set or stove. When The Design of Everyday Things was published in 1988, cognitive scientist Don Norman provocatively proposed that the fault lies not in ourselves, but in design that ignores the needs and psychology of people. Fully revised to keep the timeless principles of psychology up to date with ever-changing new technologies, The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful appeal for good design, and a reminder of how — and why — some products satisfy while others only disappoint.Read more

Art in Motion: Riding the Paris Metro
A rich history and moving look at the accessible, immersive art embedded in the Paris subway systemSubmarine wall decorations, a ceramic declaration of human rights, a stained-glass red hen, a mosaic mouth, an aedicule made of Murano glass. The Paris Métro, the city’s public subway network, has been exhibiting on its walls for over a century, through works imagined by French and foreign artists, punctuating and enhancing the underground travels of Parisians and tourists. Beginning in 1900, architect Hector Guimard was entrusted with creating the subway entrances. Through the style of Art Nouveau, his works embrace the notion of free art―accessible to all, moving, surprising, and ambitious.Today, the subway system still champions this approach of an immersive cultural experience and artistic openness as evidenced by the twenty or so creations selected for Art in Motion. With concise and well-researched texts, Anaël Pigeat introduces us to the artists and gives them a voice. She explains their creative process, pays tribute to the work of the many craftsmen and craftswomen and to the innovations found, and also highlights the numerous constraints entailed by the subway environment. With a contemporary perspective by photographer Philippe Garcia, the book captures the works in their environment, then moves closer to show us the material and the artistic gestures. Each creation carries its own story and its own relationship to the underground: Whether they offer a reinterpretation of existing works or take us down memory lane, lead us into a dream-like world or fit in the framework of an international exchange, these works shine on and imperceptibly change our travels.Read more

Detective Best is called from London to the grey and blustery north to investigate.

Will Detective Best be able to face his own painful past in order to solve the case?
‘Dead End’ is a gripping historical murder mystery story from acclaimed author Joan Lock.
Praise for author Joan Lock:
“Gripping Victorian mystery” – Publishers Weekly on Dead Born
“Multilayered, ingeniously plotted, atmospheric and suspenseful, with an appealing hero… Lock’s latest Inspector Best novel makes outstanding reading for historical mystery buffs” – Booklist on Dead Letters
Joan Lock’s first book, ‘Lady Policeman’, described her six years as a policewoman in London’s West End during the 1950s. The next, ‘Reluctant Nightingale’, focused on her previous training as a nurse in the Northeast. Nine non-fiction, police/crime books followed including three on Scotland Yard’s First Detectives and the first history of the British Women Police, a subject on which she became an authority. This led to her writing extensively in the Police Press in support of women police when they were having a difficult time during integration and to acting as advisor and participant in the BBC4 TV documentary, A Fair Cop: One Hundred Years Of Women Police, screened in March 2015.
Joan has also written short stories, radio plays (some historical) and radio documentaries. Her crime fiction includes one modern novel, Death In Perspective, and seven Victorian mysteries featuring the charismatic Scotland Yard Detective Ernest Best.

Deal & District at War
Much emphasis has been given to the Second World War experiences of East Kent’s ‘frontline’ towns of Dover, Folkestone and Thanet, but the ancient port and town of Deal suffered equally from enemy bombing and shelling. Deal bore the disadvantage of being located opposite the notorious Goodwin Sands, where many vessels and even some aircraft were lost. From the time of the Dunkirk evacuation in May/June 1940 until after D-Day some four years later, the residents of Deal withstood all that the enemy threw at them. Richly illustrated, Deal and District at War recounts many unique and controversial events which include: a German coastal raid in Sandwich Bay when at least 1 British soldier was snatched; an enemy pilot entertained by a local family after being shot down; cases of smuggling and ‘services rendered’ by Walmer lifeboat; and the world-famous ‘Lifeboat Doctor’ James Hall. This book will evoke powerful memories for those whose families experienced the war and provide fascinating reading for anyone interested in the history of Deal and District.

Deal Through Time
The history of Deal has been shaped by its position on the extreme eastern coastline of Kent. Close to France, it was of such significant naval importance that Henry VIII chose to erect a castle here on the concentric circle plan. Revolutionary at the time, it is beautifully preserved today. Barracks were established here from 1861. This corps of the British Army was infamously bombed by the IRA in 1989, and the School of Music departed seven years later. Many literary references to Deal refer to its villainous populace, which was often associated with smuggling. Today, chic cafes, shops and holiday cottages reveal an atmosphere of quiet prosperity. Pepys’ and Cobette’s derogatory terms of ‘pitiful’ and ‘detestable’ are a world away from modern Deal. Instead, as the images collected here show, through time the town has become a hidden gem of idyllic existence.Read more

Deal with a Djinn (Holidate Series Book 5)
Deal with a Djinn is part of the holidate series but can be read as a standalone. In this paranormal twist of Cupid’s Contract, our fave five find themselves in Elloree Falls fighting for their freedom of a Djinn who has taken everything from them.Every fae in existence came from the true fae. A kind and benevolent creature. A light fae.
When they first began to evolve, the Djinn were created. Manipulative and power hungry. A dark fae.
Seeking ultimate power, the Djinn turned the townspeople against the light fae and unalived them all.
That was hundreds of years ago.My name is Everlee and I’m a Squib. A fae born without superpowers. A nobody. Someone seen as barely more tolerable than a human.
In my case it’s almost worse because Helsgard, the high court over the fae, thought I was going to be super powerful… the firstborn of an interspecies coupling. I wasn’t the first, but I’m rare. For the most part, fae species don’t mingle. Too much history and wars for most to see past.
Blood never forgets.
But historically, when there’s an interspecies union, their offspring, especially the firstborn, is more powerful than others of the species they become. My mom is a succubus and my dad is a werewolf. I could have become one of those, or something else entirely. Or, even more rare, a true fae. Each fae holds a recessive gene for the true fae, the sprite little fairies that once existed long ago.
Year after year, we waited, and my powers never presented themselves. I gave up hope long before my parents and the council did. I didn’t feel anything inside of me.
That was before the night of the full super blood moon on Halloween.
When a troll tries to force my hand, I defend myself. Rather, the fae inside of me, who’s been hiding does. A large light ball forms and illuminates the darkness, shining a light right on me.
One, we aren’t supposed to use magic in the club.
Two, only a true fae can make a light ball that bright.
Three, it was a Djinn’s club.Hiding is my only option, until I can figure out who I am and who wants to unalive me. The Djinn is powerful and dark, and she will use anything and anyone to come after me like she did with the true fae hundreds of years ago.

Building on decades of experience teaching and advising on business deals, Michael Klausner and Guhan Subramanian show how to accomplish this goal through rigorous attention to designing incentives, conveying information, and specifying parties’ rights and obligations.
Deals captures the range of real-life transactional complexities with case studies covering Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn, Scarlett Johansson’s contract dispute with Disney over the release of Black Widow, litigation surrounding LVMH’s pandemic-disrupted acquisition of Tiffany, the feud between George Norcross and Lewis Katz over ownership of the Philadelphia Inquirer, NBC/Viacom’s negotiation with Paramount over the final three seasons of Frasier, and many more. In clear, concise terms, Klausner and Subramanian establish the basic framework of negotiation and the economic concepts that must be addressed in order to maximize value. They show how to tackle challenges, such as information asymmetry between buyer and seller, moral hazard, and opportunistic behavior. And the authors lay out responses to common risks associated with long-term contracts, emphasizing that a deal’s exit rights should be carefully considered at the start of transaction design.
Unique in its practical application of economic theory to actual dealmaking, this book will be an indispensable resource for students and for professionals across the business and legal world.

Dear Creed
I didn’t always hate Creed Masters.Growing up Creed and I had been best friends. I’d thought that would never change and we’d always be inseparable.
I never expected to start thinking about how his lips would feel on mine, much less the constant ache in my chest knowing I’d never have him. I didn’t just want my best friend in bed. I was in love with him.
Creed was never supposed to find out. But my secrets were exposed when I accidentally left my journal open on my desk, every detail of how I felt on the pages.
Our friendship was shattered in a single moment. Now I can’t stand the sight of him. I wish I had changed my plans to attend the same college.
I’ve gone out of my way to avoid him on campus, but lately he seems to be everywhere.
Dear Creed is an ex-best friends to lovers standalone novella.

Death and the Victorians: A Dark Fascination
From spooky stories and real-life ghost hunting, to shows about murder and serial killers, we are fascinated by death – and we owe these modern obsessions to the Victorian age. Death and the Victorians explores a period in history when the search for the truth about what lies beyond our mortal realm was matched only by the imagination and invention used to find it. Walk among London’s festering graveyards, where the dead were literally rising from the grave. Visit the Paris Morgue, where thousands flocked to view the spectacle of death every single day. Lift the veil on how spirits were invited into the home, secret societies taught ways to survive death, and the latest science and technology was applied to provide proof of the afterlife. Find out why the Victorian era is considered the golden age of the ghost story, exemplified by tales from the likes of Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Oscar Wilde and Henry James. Discover how the birth of the popular press nurtured our taste for murder and that Jack the Ripper was actually a work of pure Gothic horror fiction crafted by cynical Victorian newspapermen. Death and the Victorians exposes the darker side of the nineteenth century, a time when the living were inventing incredible ways to connect with the dead that endure to this day.Read more

Sir Charles is interested in the developing forensic sciences: toxicology, ballistics, fingerprints, X-ray, and crime scene photography.
Soon there is something to interest both Kate and Sir Charles: a recently-dead body just uncovered at a nearby archaeological dig. The investigation provides the perfect research background for Kate’s next novel. But the inquisitive writer may be digging too deep–especially when the trail leads her into a secret occult society known as the Order of the Golden Dawn.

THE CHARITY SHOP DETECTIVES
Level-headed Fiona has found a quiet sanctuary volunteering at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes. A charity shop that raises money for dogs in need of nice homes. And she’s found firm friendship with the strong-willed Partial Sue (she’s ever so partial to a cup of tea) and the kindly and surprisingly tech-savvy Daisy. Together, these ladies, with Simon Le Bon, Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross, investigate murders as the Charity Shop Detective Agency.THE SETTING
The lovely coastal town of Southbourne is, on paper, little more than a small suburb hemmed in by Bournemouth to the west and Christchurch to the north. But it’s home to the prettiest avenues lined with gorgeous Georgian homes which lead to a grass-topped cliff standing guard over a sweeping bay of blond sand, soft as Demerara sugar. Some say it’s also home to the best charity shops in the country. The ladies of the Charity Shop Detective Agency maintain that Dogs Need Nice Homes — though musty and more than a little cramped — is certainly number one. Well, they definitely solve the most crimes at least!ALSO BY PETER BOLAND

Death, Disease & Dissection: The Life of a Surgeon-Apothecary 1750–1850
“A deep dive into the education and lives of a medical professional’s life over the span of 100 years . . . A good addition to any medical historian’s library” (The Lazy Historian).
Imagine performing surgery on a patient without anesthetic or administering medicine that could kill or cure. Welcome to the world of the surgeon-apothecary.
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, significant changes occurred in medicine. New treatments were developed and medical training improved. Yet, with doctors’ fees out of the reach of ordinary people, most relied on the advice of their local apothecary, among them, the poet John Keats, who worked at Guy’s Hospital in London. These men were the general practitioners of their time, making up pills and potions for everything from toothache to childbirth.
Death, Disease & Dissection examines the vital role these men played within their communities, their training, the treatments they offered, the quacks, and the shocking sights and sounds in hospitals and operating theaters of the time. Suzie Grogan transports readers through 100 years of medical history, exploring the impact of illness and death and bringing the experiences of the surgeon-apothecary vividly to life.
“I think the author has done a wonderful job of researching the topic and presenting the history of the profession, and biographical information on some of the most influential Surgeon-Apothecaries of the period. . . . This book is well organized and full of fascinating information on the topic.” —A Line from a BookRead more

Death’s Obsession: A Paranormal Dark Romance
He’s coming for you.
Death is meant to come on a chariot of broken dreams or in the dark trenches of a storm, not in love letters and gifts.
He did not take my soul when I was meant to die. He did not want it all the other times that I’ve offered it to him on a silver platter. Yet, time and time again, he reminds me that I am his: His night monster, his dark love, his perfect other.
Death was the only thing keeping me alive. He watches me from his corner, taunts me with sweet messages, marks my body with his touch as I sleep.
He took the people that I love away from me. Still, no one believed me when I said that I saw the faceless man on the night of the accident.
No one can escape death.
Me? I’m chasing it.

Decarbonise Digital: Facts. Methods. Action.
Look around, and it is clear that we now live in an increasingly digital world. Everywhere we turn, we hear talk of Future Cities, Smart Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Generative AI. Technology and digital solutions are here and growing, with the social, educational, health, and business value of technology unquestionable. But behind the scenes, this growth has a carbon cost that has remained invisible to most of us.
The time has come to start focusing on on reducing the energy consumption of digital and the technological infrastructures, which underpin nearly all of our daily activities. Having spent the last two years engaging with some of the world’s leading cloud service providers, software companies, digital leaders, technology consultancies, and system integrators, I am now of the firm belief that we have an opportunity that could propel the technology sector to the forefront of decarbonisation .
The book is organised into five major parts covering:
- A Foundation section providing an overview of climate change and the impact of digital
- A more detailed Sustainable Software Engineering principles and practices section aimed at providing an in-depth view of the techniques that can be used to deliver greener software products
- An introduction to Green Design to help guide the sustainability of digital products and services even before coding commences
- A Sustainable IT for Technology Leaders section to help readers shape a sustainable IT strategy and consider the process and technology elements needed to be successful
- A People and Culture section to help you consider the importance of building capability, the challenges of eco-anxiety and organisation structure to deliver a Sustainable IT Strategy
Whether you are a software engineer, a designer, an IT leader or manager, we will provide you with practical examples and online self-assessments to help you evaluate your own level of understanding and readiness to take action.
We are now able to hold up a mirror, and what we all need is for you to gaze in it and seize the opportunity to create an even better, faster, more efficient, and planet-friendly version of your incredible digital solutions.
The technology industry is filled with some of the brightest individuals in the world. We are a group of doers, and uniquely capable due to our inventiveness, innovation mindset, and pure determination to solve problems. We must abandon the notion that taking action will necessitate slowing things down or regressing to a less polluting version of the past. In our digital world, we must be progressive in our actions and utilise technological advancements to create the efficiencies required to support the development of digital. But we must recognise that we can only satisfy the technological demands of societies and businesses if we base this expansion on a more sustainable IT industry.
In our digital world we must move forward, our actions be progressive, and able to utilise the advancements in technology to create the efficiencies needed to support the growth of digital.
