'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

THE IDEA MUSCLE
Train Your Mind to Think Bigger, Create More, and Act Faster
Most people wait for inspiration.
Successful creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators don't.
They train for ideas.
Just like your body gets stronger with exercise, your ability to generate ideas gets stronger with use. The more you challenge your mind, question assumptions, chase rabbit holes, and connect unexpected dots, the more powerful your thinking becomes.
The Idea Muscle is a collection of sharp, entertaining essays about curiosity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and the strange ways ideas shape our lives.
From youth baseball tournaments and long-distance runs to marketing experiments, media narratives, and the power of asking better questions, author C. Lowry explores what happens when you stop accepting the world as it is-and start thinking about how it could be better.
Inside this book you'll discover:
¿ Why ideas are a skill you can train, not a talent you're born with
 ¿ How curiosity and "rabbit holes" lead to breakthrough thinking
 ¿ Why action beats overthinking every single time
 ¿ The hidden connection between creativity, entrepreneurship, and daily habits
 ¿ How questioning assumptions can unlock entirely new opportunities
 ¿ Why the people who change the world think differently than everyone else
These essays are part philosophy, part storytelling, and part mental workout.
Some will make you laugh.
 Some will challenge your thinking.
 And a few might send you down a rabbit hole of your own.
One thing is certain:
Your brain is capable of far more ideas than you're currently using.
It's time to start training.
Welcome to The Idea Muscle. ¿¿¿¿

“A sabbatical might be the most important career move you ever make. Read this book to see why—and how to do it.” —Arthur C. Brooks, harvard professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author A guide to transforming your well-being and your career through purposeful time off, from Harvard Business School Senior Lecturer and founder of the Sabbatical Project. Our world of work prioritizes the urgent, but the most important moments of our life rarely happen at a desk. In Big Time Off, Sabbatical Project founder DJ DiDonna explores a simple but radical idea: sabbaticals help us avoid sleepwalking through life by giving us time to be present in moments of celebration, difficulty, and transition. Integrating original research and compelling stories of sabbatical-takers from all walks of life—from teachers and nonprofit leaders to startup founders and Fortune 500 employees—Big Time Off explores why extended time away from work has such a profound effect on people’s identity, relationships, creativity, and direction. You’ll learn: <ul> <li>When to take a sabbatical—and how to avoid waiting for a crisis to take off.</li> <li>Why sabbaticals—unlike vacations—help you forge a new career path, feel human again, and live a more authentic life.</li> <li>How to navigate your sabbatical using archetypes—the explorer, the seeker, and the achiever—and avoid common pitfalls.</li> <li>Best practices for individuals—no matter the circumstances—and organizations of all sizes to make extended leave possible and sustainable.</li> </ul> Whether you dream of making a big change, exploring the world, or simply carving out space to heal, think, and recalibrate, Big Time Off is your guide to creating a richer, more intentional life.

Palgrave Studies in Oral History

“A landmark achievement, this book offers a comprehensive overview of Taiwan’s Austronesian 'Shooting the Sun' myths. Meticulously researched, the data and findings are presented in a highly accessible manner. The depth, breadth, and diversity of one of Taiwan’s most enduring cross-cultural legends are suddenly within reach. A must read for anyone interested in Taiwan’s indigenous history and culture.”
—Howard Chiang, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
"This is a marvelous collection of all the different versions of the 'Shooting the Sun' myth available among sixteen indigenous ethnic groups in the Island of Formosa. The author’s extensive analysis and interpretation in relation with other cultural items provides us with sources for further seminal works in the study of myth and ethnicity in this particular region."
—Kwang Ok Kim, Seoul National University, South Korea
This book offers a comprehensive corpus and analysis of all the Formosan ‘Shooting the Sun’ myths. The 'Shooting the Sun' myths describe a series of historical events in mythology that is preceded by the origins of man myths and followed by the deluge myths. These diverse mythologemes are an integral part of the national culture in Taiwan, particularly among the Austronesian tribes. The myths continue to be the subjects of contemporary art exhibits, literary works, public works, performances, and political protests, and remain essential tribal icons upon which various ritualistic practices are founded. Ninety 'Shooting the Sun' myths from over forty different sources published between 1903 and 2024 covering all of Taiwan's tribes are anthologized and explored in this book.
Valdis Gauss is a mythologist and an Assistant Professor at National Taitung University, Taiwan.

The Formosan 'Shooting the Sun' Myths

A fascinating exploration of why Hitler’s death was only confirmed in 2018 &nbsp; Adolf Hitler has taken a long time to die, despite the lethal efficiency of the gun he put to his head in April 1945. Although eagerly anticipated around the world, there were no available witnesses to his suicide—and his corpse was not put on display. This created the perfect vacuum for myth and survival legends, while rival intelligence agencies and propaganda further confounded the investigations of successive historians. &nbsp; Caroline Sharples explores the aftermath of events at the Führerbunker in the first cultural account of this decisive yet elusive moment. Hitler’s death was widely anticipated, and the news elicited a huge range of emotions as governments and secret services scrambled to verify what they heard. The search for proof of death led to an outpouring of conspiratorial thinking, and the final moments of Hitler’s life have been reimagined ever since. &nbsp; This is an intriguing, unsettling account of a historical event we all think we know—and a sophisticated examination of how history is written.

Why do we use eighty-year-old metrics to understand today’s economy? The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today’s economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today’s digital economy? Coyle makes the case for a new framework, one that takes into consideration current economic realities. Coyle explains why economic statistics matter. They are essential for guiding better economic policies; they involve questions of freedom, justice, life, and death. Governments use statistics that affect people’s lives in ways large and small. The metrics for economic growth were developed when a lack of physical rather than natural capital was the binding constraint on growth, intangible value was less important, and the pressing economic policy challenge was managing demand rather than supply. Today’s challenges are different. Growth in living standards in rich economies has slowed, despite remarkable innovation, particularly in digital technologies. As a result, politics is contentious and democracy strained. Coyle argues that to understand the current economy, we need different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions, and she offers some suggestions about what this would entail. Only with a new approach to measurement will we be able to achieve the right kind of growth for the benefit of all.

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NONFICTION** A FOYLES TOP TEN READ FOR FEBRUARY | A 2026 HIGHLIGHT IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES, EVENING STANDARD AND THE BOOKSELLER A meeting place for Europe's bohemian artists. A headquarters of the Nazi occupation. A shelter for camp survivors. This is the true story of how one Paris hotel came to hold the weight of a century. The Hotel Lutetia is a Paris institution, the only 'grand' hotel on the city's bohemian Left Bank. Ever since it opened, it has served as a meeting place for artists, musicians and politicians. André Gide took his lunch here, James Joyce lived in one of its rooms, Picasso and Matisse were regular guests. It has a darker history, too. During one short period, it became a focus for some of the most dramatic and terrible events in recent history. In the 1930s the Hotel Lutetia attracted intellectuals and political activists, forced to flee their homes when Hitler came to power, who met here with the hope of forming an alternative government. But when war came, Paris was occupied, and the hotel became the headquarters of the German military intelligence service - and the centre of their operation to root out enemies of the Reich. In 1945, the Lutetia was requisitioned once more, this time transformed into a reception centre for deportees returning from concentration camps. Hotel Exile is about what happens on the edges of a war. At its heart are three groups of people connected to a place, to one another, and to the dark ideology which dictates the course of their lives. A masterpiece of empathy and concision, Jane Rogoyska's extraordinary new book offers us a vision of individual human beings desperately trying to find a path through some of the twentieth century's most devastating events.
