Misadventures of an Anonymous Chef

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, or stray from rewarding ones? Why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex - reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution. We are biologically wired to connect with each other, yet our inner intimate animal is often at odds with the way we live now. Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from his team of researchers at the world-leading Kinsey Institute, including: - Why we have evolved to live and die for love - Why searching for 'the one' is futile- Why we are wired for 'social monogamy' but not necessarily 'sexual monogamy'- Why some people are more likely to cheat With practical tips on love and lust - the two biological systems often in painful conflict - The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times. 'Garcia brings us back to the animal inside to remind us that even when connection, love, and desire feel elusive, it's exactly what we're wired for' Esther Perel, bestselling author of Mating in Captivity 'Fascinating and useful' The Telegraph Magazine 'A thoughtful and well-researched treatise' The Sunday Times

The Science of Love, Fidelity and Connection

The Intimate Animal

NATIONAL BESTSELLER This “deeply felt memoir of race and history that defies social erasures of the diasporic Palestinian experience” (The Whiting Award Judges Citation) explores Elena Dudum’s transformational journey and evolving relationship to Palestine. My father scours the web for century-old magazines about Palestine. For years, he would talk about these mysterious documents but rarely show them to anyone. “I have proof,” he would say to whoever would listen, “that Palestine exists.” In her Palestinian Christian home in San Francisco, Elena Dudum was raised in a household ruled by her father’s lectures. He taught her everything: the story of her grandparents’ flight from their homeland, the history of her family’s orange groves, and the facts of the ongoing occupation of Palestine. Above all, he taught her not to forget. Soon his lessons consumed her childhood, and Elena found herself shrinking from an inheritance that felt both sacred and suffocating. For years, she resisted it all until a family trip to Palestine shattered the abstraction of her homeland. Checkpoints, razed olive groves, soldiers—it was all plainly in front of her, as were the ghosts of her family’s past. What was once always just out of reach, now pressed against her body. Back in the United States, something in her quietly unraveled. She tried to outrun what she now knew by burying herself in elite institutions and the rising world of tech, where ambition was rewarded and history was inconvenient. Eventually, the inheritance she thought she could escape demanded reckoning. Braiding rich personal narrative with archival fragments and cultural critique, They Told Me Back Home Would Be Beautiful traces one woman’s journey as she returns—slowly, deliberately—to her father’s lessons, determined to claim them on her own terms.

12 Daily Habits to Strengthen Your Relationship

How To Stay Together

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Lady First

From the long-tenured head Goldman Sachs - an institution legendary for its culture of success - comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence. 'Lloyd Blankfein is scary smart about people, markets, and life generally. His 10,000 Small Businesses idea proved to be a huge winner, and I personally witnessed the time and effort he devoted to its success. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Lloyd acted decisively, and he tells the story of what happened with unique insights.' WARREN BUFFETT 'Lloyd Blankfein has always been a straight shooter, but his journey from public housing to the heights of Wall Street wasn't a straight line. Streetwise is packed with important lessons about leadership, risk-taking, decision-making, and giving back.' MICHAEL BLOOMBERG When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places. Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with Blankfein's education - in finance, human nature and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonising them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they're good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs's tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.

Getting To and Through Goldman Sachs

Streetwise

Stop circling the drain with traditional business books and prepare for a deep dive into the sub-aquatic depths of corporate absurdity. This book is the definitive manifesto for the 360-degree, marcomms visioneer who isn't afraid to "think" outside the vertical cycle. From dredging the ocean of emotion for granular data to navigating the perilous gap analysis of the brandscape (otherwise known as shopping for clothes), this book skewers the pretentious nonsense of management consultants and "media johnnies" alike. It is a relentless search for integrated, implementationable insight solutions that meet customer needs you haven't even bothered to identify yet.Beyond the biting wit and "Total Con" approach to communication, this book serves a serious purpose: it is a post-mortem for a marketing world that has been pronounced "dead" so many times its corpse is restless for change. By disposing of sacred cows and dismantling the clichés that have infected our boardrooms, it seeks to rescue the English language from the clutches of those who value "impactful consumer mindshare" over actual meaning.

Pushing the Envelope Outside the Box

Drawn from the author’s experiences during more than a decade of archaeological fieldwork in Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, this astonishing collection of linked essays explores what violence leaves behind, in a debut for readers of Mary Roach, Maggie Nelson, and Leslie Jamison.
Annalisa Bolin has always liked the dead. She’s drawn to the traces that linger: a blue bead, a shard of clay, a fragment of skull sunk deep in the earth. Ghost maps, she calls them, traced over the world of the living.
After her first excavation in Ghana, Bolin embarks on life as an archaeologist. Her work takes her across continents—from the genocide memorials of Rwanda, working alongside preservation teams striving to immortalize the truth of the slaughter, to African skulls collected in Berlin colonial museums, to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, where the emergence of inconvenient bones exposes a society literally built on nineteenth-century cemeteries. As she traces the echoes of violence, the initial thrill of touching the past becomes more than she bargained for: a haunting in which the dead never leave her.
Winner of the 2025 Dzanc Nonfiction Prize, Ghost Maps delivers a stunning and deeply affecting exploration of the tension between preservation and violation in archaeological study. Bolin expertly balances historical accounts with the intimacy of her own experiences in the field, and the question of what it means to live alongside the dead.

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear LifeSimultaneously 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

A Memoir in Full Colour

Leaving Home

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.

An Expressive Storytelling Workbook

Narrating Your Grief

Emilia Zenzile Roig legt die erschütternde Wahrheit offen: Die Familie, der vermeintlich sicherste Ort für ein Kind, bringt diese Form der Täterschaft hervor - und deckt sie. Als Gesellschaft schweigen wir darüber, weil diese Realität unerträglich scheint. Wir flüchten uns in Mythen: der Fremde im Park, der monströse Einzelfall und die individuelle Pathologie. So lassen wir die Kinder allein - und die Täter unerkannt und ungestraft unter uns leben.&nbsp;In ihrer eindringlichen Gesellschaftsanalyse macht Zenzile Roig klar: Kinderschutz beginnt erst, wenn wir das Schweigen brechen. Wenn wir über die systematische Unterdrückung sprechen, der Kinder ausgesetzt sind. Wenn wir aufhören, die Familie zu idealisieren. Sexueller Kindesmissbrauch geschieht mitten unter uns, in unseren Familien. Genau dort müssen wir endlich darüber sprechen.&nbsp;
