Skandar and the Spirit War: Volume 5

“Professor Bobbi Thomason offers us a manifesto to agency—and teaches us what it means to have it, lose it, and reclaim it. Blending science and storytelling, her writing is as brilliant as it is vulnerable.”—Dolly Chugh, professor, New York University Stern School of Business, author of The Person You Mean to Be and A More Just Future Combining raw memoir and rigorous research, this thoughtful and eye-opening work offers a transformative roadmap to reclaim your agency by coloring outside the lines of what society expects. We make many vows in our lifetimes, some big, some small. Some vows are brief and time bound. Others are intended to last a lifetime. Fulfilling those vows is deeply complicated for women. We are often navigating environments that weren't built for us, where a sudden life shock—or just the exhausting weight of small, daily demands—may sideline our goals. After years of studying how can-do women advance in a world that isn't set up for their success, Dr. Bobbi Thomason found herself navigating a difficult divorce and custody battle—and living the very challenges to women's agency that she had been researching. Bobbi knew she needed more than outdated popular advice to make it through, so she returned to the science and reconsidered how to apply it in her own life. In Vows to Ourselves, she chronicles her journey as she examines how women’s power is taken from them by never-ending obligations to others. And yet, while looking out for other people might be part of the problem; it is also part of the solution. Thomason frames agency not as an isolated achievement, but as a shared practice, detailing how women act with and for their village. Grounded in data and her own raw story, this book offers a credible, compassionate blueprint, encouraging women to let go of life's default settings and build a life centered on their own most precious priorities that honors their complicated and multi-faceted selves. Vows to Ourselves will make every woman feel seen and supported. It will invite you to experiment, to put yourself first, and to sculpt the life and career you deserve. Vows to Ourselves offers women:Answers To Why Agency Is So Hard: Dr. Thomason offers a compelling, evidence-based exploration of why even the most ambitious, and high-achieving women find their autonomy hijacked—and the science of how women break free from being stuck. A Story that Resonates: Through raw, vulnerable storytelling that brings the research to life, Dr. Bobbi Thomason shares her own wake-up call, reminding you that it’s never too late to reclaim your life. Overdue Validation: If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, this book meets you with compassion—reminding you that you are not failing. Real Tools For Real Life: Discover practical, research-backed ways to set boundaries, rediscover your desires, and build a life where your ambitions and relationships can thrive together. A Powerful Invitation To Put Yourself First: Learn how honoring your own needs doesn’t just transform your life—it creates a ripple effect of strength, joy, and possibility for everyone around you.

How Women Reclaim Agency and Why It Matters for All of Us

Vows to Ourselves

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Wild and Wicked Things comes a dark gothic fantasy about intoxication, obsession and a desperate hunger for knowledge, whatever the cost. 'A queer fairy tale of toxic romance that echoes with longing' Tanya Pell, author of Her Wicked Roots Thora Grieve finds herself destitute and an outcast after the sudden death of her husband, but a glimmer of hope arrives when a family friend offers her the chance to study botany under a famed professor.

This Vicious Hunger

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life Simultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult. Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham. Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it's richly illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood. As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does. 'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment

YOUR NEXT READ FROM THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR of ROMANTIC COMEDY, PREP and AMERICAN WIFE'Messy and delicious' New York Times'Sittenfeld is in a league of her own' Guardian'One of my favourite authors' KATE ATKINSON, author of Death at the Sign of the Rook'Anything Sittenfeld writes, we'll read' People'She understands women so well; like having someone look straight into your soul' Reader review*****______Razor-sharp, glittering tales exploring marriage, fame and female friendship, from the Sunday Times bestselling author. In this compulsive collection of twelve witty stories, Sittenfeld shows why she's as beloved for her short fiction as she is for her novels, as she conjures up characters so real that they seem like old friends. In 'The Patron Saints of Middle Age,' a woman visits two friends she hasn't seen since her divorce. In 'A for Alone,' a married artist embarks on a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men can't spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in 'Lost but Not Forgotten,' Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel Prep a new window into the world of her beloved character Lee Fiora, decades later, when Lee attends an awkward school reunion. Witty, confronting and full of tenderness, Sittenfeld peels back layer after layer of our inner lives, keeping us riveted to the page with her utterly distinctive voice. READERS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF CURTIS SITTENFELD:'Small windows into modern life and as such highly entertaining. Curtis, you're a star!' *****'Sittenfeld understands women so well, it's like having someone look straight into your soul'*****'Devoured! You'll recognise yourself and others in these pages' *****'No-one else writes with such precision and amusement' Red Magazine

Passionately Transforming Management

A critical exploration of how passion can create more effective organizations, Passionately Transforming Management restores curiosity and joy to management education. Climate change and the rapidly shifting balance of global geo-political power are changing the conditions within which organizations operate, and big data and AI are altering the criteria for a successful manager. By critically disrupting existing literature on management in education, O'Doherty and Hjorth reimagine a syllabus for management and organization by drawing on research that shows how successful businesses and entrepreneurs are those that have followed their private passions. Authored by leading members of the management and organization studies community with a wealth of experience, this concise book exposes the diverse potential of management in contributing to business success by foregrounding how passion - be it for science fiction, computer games, drum and bass, poetry or football - is vital to become a reflexive and effective manager. This is the ideal book for researchers in search of playful alternatives and advances in management theory and practice, original teachings in organization studies and critical management studies, and regenerative university course outlines and reading lists.

In the aftermath of a national disaster, a couple look back on their marriage and what it cost them in this groundbreaking novel about capitalism's effect on the human heart *Guardian best translated fiction of 2025* 'Buzzes with electricity... intriguing, maddening, exciting. I'm in' Observer 'Like a normal novel with the boring bits taken out' Guardian Maggie and Kurt are struggling to hold their marriage together after their only daughter has left home. They live in an old farmhouse in Nyborg but somehow keep missing each other, unable to discuss the events that brought them together. Decades ago, a passenger ferry called the Scandinavian Star caught fire, killing 159 people. The event is still considered a national tragedy in Denmark and Norway. Years later, it was revealed not to be an accident, but the result of an insurance scam gone wrong. How is the Scandinavian Star disaster connected to Maggie and Kurt? How does money affect and infect our closest relationships? And is it ever possible to escape? 'Taut and intelligent... a moving love story and an incendiary indictment of contemporary society' Literary Review 'A comet in Scandinavian literature' OLGA RAVN 'Startling and irresistible' CLAIRE-LOUISE BENNETT 'Unusual, fascinating, and complicated in the best way' CLAIRE FULLER 'Nordenhof's writing is electrifying' CHETNA MAROO

Money to Burn

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on four years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.
