LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026 'Zings and smarts in all the right places . . . breathtakingly original, profound but with a delicious dose of irreverence' INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026 JUDGES 'Brilliantly funny, poignant and timeless . . . This newly Booker Prize-longlisted novel is ripe for book club discussions and is not recommended for public transport reading in case you, like this reviewer, miss your stop' READINGS BOOKS, Melbourne 'An entertaining, thought-provoking piece of fiction' A Life In Books 'Simple, delicate, delicious prose that delivers from the very first story' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW 'Smart, clever . . . such a brilliant read!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW _______ 'You know, love is love, he says. But what about the revolution?' Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money. From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people. What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way. A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize. More praise for Small Comfort: 'A delightful and exquisitely executed literary mini-study that brings to mind Joan Didion' - Expressen 'Her humour and delight in language make the stories crackle with life' - Svenska Dagbladet 'I haven't read anything better this year' - Sydsvenskan 'Genberg captures, with intelligence and insight, the afflictions of our time' - Göteborgs-Poste Praise for Ia Genberg: 'Miraculous' - Hernan Diaz, author of Trust 'I wish I could write like this' - Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove 'So good that I kept underlining passages so I could reread them later' - Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 'Mesmerizing and hot to the touch' - Catherine Lacey, New York Times

Longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026

Small Comfort

Der Mensch wächst mit den Dingen, die ihn umgeben. Sie verändern sich, sie verschwinden, neue kommen hinzu. Torsten Harmsen - Jahrgang 1961 - spürt in diesem Buch den Gegenständen aus der Zeit seiner Kindheit und Jugend nach: Vom Kassettenrekorder und der Teppichklopfstange über Rechenschieber und Setzkasten bis hin zu Jeans, Schallplatten und der ersten Zigarette. Einiges davon gibt es heute nicht mehr, anderes hat sich in Form und Bedeutung verändert. 
Harmsens humorvolle Beobachtungen zeigen, wie sehr uns Dinge prägen können - und sie regen an, über die Wandelbarkeit der Welt nachzudenken.

The Wealth Habit

Die Paläontologie ist im Schnittfeld der Geowissenschaften und der Biologie angesiedelt und hat sich im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts als eigenständige und moderne Wissenschaft etabliert. Während die Allgemeine Paläontologie die Themenbereiche Fossilentstehung, Taxonomie, Evolution, Stratigraphie, Ökologie, Paläobiogeographie sowie Form und Funktion von Lebewesen thematisiert, stehen bei der Speziellen Paläontologie das Studium und die Beschreibung der einzelnen Fossilgruppen im Vordergrund.
«Leben der Vorzeit» fasst die Paläontologie in ihrer gesamten fachlichen Breite zusammen und ist als Einführungswerk für Studierende der Geowissenschaften und der Biologie, aber auch für interessierte Laien konzipiert.

AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Evenhanded and insightful.”&nbsp; —Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) “An accessible, often fascinating primer.... Essential, illuminating reading.” —Kirkus From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Digital Doctor comes an engaging, clear-eyed, and ultimately hopeful examination of healthcare’s efforts to embrace generative artificial intelligence. In A Giant Leap, physician and thought leader Robert Wachter navigates between hype and skepticism to make a compelling case for AI’s power to transform healthcare. He argues that, in a system buckling under the weight of bureaucratic pressures, soaring costs, and clinician burnout, AI doesn’t need to be perfect—it only needs to be better. Drawing on extensive research and more than 100 interviews with pioneers across medicine, technology, policy, and business, Wachter shows how AI is already entering hospitals and clinics to draft notes, field patient questions, recommend treatments, interpret images, and guide surgeries. He unflinchingly confronts risks like hallucinations, biases, and misinformation, while revealing how AI can now match, and sometimes surpass, physicians in areas ranging from diagnosis to empathy. But this isn’t simply a technology story. It’s about the human choices that will determine whether AI becomes healthcare’s salvation or another source of harm and frustration.&nbsp; Blending clinical insight, vivid storytelling, and journalistic precision, A Giant Leap offers an indispensable roadmap for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and patients. It&nbsp;is a vibrant and timely account of how AI is changing what it means to care—and be cared for—in this age of astonishing technology.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER How to Survive Your First Alien Encounter: - Do NOT shake hands. You don't know what part of the Alien's anatomy you just touched. - Avoid sudden movements. Especially if they have lasers. Or tentacles. Or both. - Remember: you are the representative of Earth. No pressure. Ever since childhood, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has wanted to be abducted by aliens. Here, he draws upon a lifetime's fascination to explore the science of alien life - and to offer a practical guide to your first alien encounter. Would an alien really be a humanoid with a pointy head, or might it look more like a worm, a roving cloud of gas, or perhaps a 'testicle monster'? How should you communicate with an alien who didn't speak English, and what does it have to do with the Pythagorean Theorem? And if an alien did demand 'Take me to your leader!', who are you actually meant to take it to? Touching on Star Wars and Spielberg, UFOs and Area 51, Take Me to Your Leader is both a romping work of popular science and a love letter to our as-yet-elusive extraterrestrial friends. It is the most entertaining book ever written by one of the best-loved scientists in the world, and perhaps in the galaxy.

Take Me To Your Leader

<div>Unpack the powerful visual symbols artists have used throughout history.&nbsp; &nbsp; From a single flower to a carefully placed skull, works of art across history are filled with symbols that carry powerful meanings. The Symbols of Art reveals how artists use these symbols to communicate ideas without relying on words.&nbsp; &nbsp; Why is there a lily in that religious painting? Why does a still life include an hourglass, a mirror or a piece of fruit? In some cases, these symbols would have been immediately understood by contemporary viewers but now need decoding for a modern audience. In other instances, symbolism is more deliberately elusive, inviting viewers to look closer and think deeper.&nbsp; &nbsp; This richly illustrated visual reference includes:&nbsp;<ul><li>Over 100 key symbols drawn from art history&nbsp;</li><li>Symbols from the natural world, the manmade world, the supernatural, and colours and shapes&nbsp;</li><li>Famous artworks used as case studies to show symbolism in context&nbsp;</li><li>How meanings change across cultures, movements and centuries&nbsp;</li><li>An easy-to-navigate, fully indexed structure designed for quick consultation as well as browsing&nbsp;</li></ul> Bringing together examples from across periods, cultures and artistic movements, art historian Susie Hodge explains how symbolic meanings can shift depending on time, place and intention, revealing layers of interpretation that radically deepen our understanding of artworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Clearly organised and expertly written, The Symbols of Art is both an authoritative reference and an inviting guide for curious readers.&nbsp; &nbsp; Whether you’re visiting a gallery, studying art history or simply want to see artworks with fresh eyes, this book gives you the tools to decode visual meaning and experience art more deeply.&nbsp;</div>

"2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117--the Master Chief--and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew's only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground"--Back cover.

The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series! 2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground. But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond…

'The Wealth Habit shows how small, well-designed behaviours, repeated consistently, create extraordinary financial outcomes over time.' - Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO Wealth doesn't start with money, it starts with a habit.

But the truth is, financial success isn't about luck-it's about habits.

An authoritative textbook based on the legendary economics course taught at the University of Chicago—now fully updated and expanded Price theory is a powerful analytical tool kit for measuring, explaining, and predicting market outcomes. This expanded second edition of Chicago Price Theory offers a unique approach to the subject, emphasizing hands-on, practical applications that can help students adeptly integrate economic theory with real-world forces. A key distinction is its focus on market equilibrium and gains from trade. Unlike many microeconomics texts, this book emphasizes how, through markets, households and businesses adapt to conditions like price controls and externalities. It modernizes the Marshallian idea of forward-falling supply, especially for analyzing human capital, and makes use of the cost function and Hicks-Marshall laws to analyze a variety of economic phenomena. Rooted in Chicago’s price theory tradition, this textbook enables students to understand human behavior through the lens of price theory, showing how a small set of well-mastered tools makes it possible to analyze a remarkably wide range of economic questions. <ul><li>Now includes a full chapter closely integrating economic reasoning with the treatment-control paradigm</li><li>Covers topics such as occupational choice, the evolution of inequality, the value of a statistical life, prohibition, and competition</li><li>Uses the economics of “nudges” to understand business contracts and the organization of civil society</li><li>Features analysis of business-to-business transactions</li><li>Discusses the future implications of artificial intelligence</li><li>Comes with lesson plans for minicourses in industrial organization, health economics, macroeconomics, labor, public finance, and urban economics</li><li>Accompanied by video lectures taught by Kevin M. Murphy, Gary Becker, Casey B. Mulligan, and Robert Minton</li></ul>
