The Jasmine Green Series

The eighteenth in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters. With beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon. Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself... The perfect Easter book for animal lovers! Gorgeously illustrated, this is a heartwarming tale of an abandoned chick who finds friendship in an unlikely place... A little chick is abandoned by her mother and left for dead after a terrible accident. Jasmine rescues the tiny bird and nurses her back to health but she is again rejected by her family. An old cockerel takes the little chick under his wing, saving her from a buzzard attack and showing that friendship can be found in the most unlikely of places. Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up. Check out Jasmine's other adventures: <li>A Piglet Called Truffle</li> <li>A Sheepdog Called Sky</li> <li>A Kitten Called Holly</li> <li>and many more!</li> "Perfect for the young animal enthusiast" - The Guardian "Quality storytelling with a hint of Dick King-Smith's Sophie books" - The Bookseller

A Chick Called Charm

Roll the Calls¿is as ferociously powerful as the iconic figure at its centre, Ari Emanuel - the inspiration for¿Entourage's Ari Gold, and one of the most legendary powerbrokers of all time - a man who made rage and chaos into the instruments of his success.Expertly written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and biographer J. R. Moehringer,¿Roll the Calls¿takes us on a blistering and intimate journey into every battle Ari Emanuel has fought, with raw emotion and unrelenting profanity: a tremendous reading experience and the must-read book of the year.Ari Emanuel is one of the most influential people in the world, but he's also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel's job description. As a Hollywood super-agent, he's paid to speak for his clients, not himself.But no more. Now, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the iconic power broker speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life, often at the top of his lungs. In¿Roll the Calls,¿a fiery, furious memoir, Emanuel gives an insider's account of every major success and setback, every triumphant merger and nasty breakup, every hard-won lesson and crushing mistake.In excruciating, comical detail, he recounts the trajectory of his brilliant career, from clerking in the mailroom of CAA to striking out on his own, launching a new firm with three other agents and no money, eventually signing some of the most glittering names in show business, including Larry David, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese and Oprah Winfrey. Along the way, Emanuel was also raising four kids, coping with a failing marriage and fighting to find love again.Told in taut, telegraphic prose, with uncommon humility and ribald humour,¿Roll the Calls¿shatters the mould of stodgy CEO memoirs. It's a story about success and failure, creativity and persistence, and the priceless value of simply never giving up -a master class in blocking out the naysayers and pushing forward through every bitter defeat.

Hamilton comes the first in a new, coming of age trilogy where life on a generation ship takes a turn for the worst when the delicate cycle of life is disturbed... A great read for fans of Alastair Reynolds and Miles Cameron. THEIR LIFE IS A DREAM, THEIR WORLD IS DYING. Hazel’s family live a simple life in their village. Just one of the communities on a vast generation ship on a centuries long journey to a new world. 500 years ago the machines stopped working and life since then has been frugal. But everyone plays their part. And when you reach 65 you are recycled – it’s only fair; you can’t work anymore and your resources are needed. But not everyone is happy. Hazel encounters the Cheaters, a group who refuse to die for the ship. They have discovered the terrifying lie at the core of life on the ship and they will fight for the truth and for the lives of everyone. Hazel has a choice to make…

Power Plants offers an unflinching assessment of society's underappreciated but growing addiction to the industrial burning of crops and trees for energy. As vehicles increasingly run on fuels made from sugarcane and oil-palm, wood pellets replace coal, and scientists rush to engineer crops to produce renewable jet fuel, this book blows apart bioenergy's reputation as a simple, benign substitute for fossil fuels. Scrutinising modern bioenergy systems in the UK, Europe and United States, Power Plants shows how vegetal lifeforms are being enrolled to reinforce energy cultures centred around logics of efficiency, productivity and economic growth at all costs. Nonetheless, the book insists that a closer attention to plants could yet provoke a rethink of the social and economic purposes of all kinds of energy, with radical implications for ideas about growth, waste, prosperity and even pleasure.

The Little Book of Moon Magic

In 1751, a troubled wind swept through the parish of Tring. The calendar had been rewritten, the harvests were failing, and old fears were stirring. For Ruth Osborne, a poor, elderly woman living on the margins, this shift would prove fatal. Accused of witchcraft after a bitter quarrel, she became the target of a community's simmering rage.
What followed was not a trial, but a ritual. Dragged from her hiding place, she was subjected to a brutal "ducking" in a village pond, a spectacle of mob justice that ended in her murder. But the story did not end there. In the aftermath, as the Crown sought to reassert its authority, the hunt began for a killer-or a scapegoat.
The Last Witch Hunt is a powerful work of speculative history that meticulously reconstructs this haunting true story, giving voice to the forgotten and asking a chilling question: where does belief end and brutality begin?

A Speculative Account of a Murder

The Last Witch Hunt

This book draws on the author's experiences during her 5-year journey towards tenure at a top-tier university in Singapore to offer an internationally relevant, STEM-oriented perspective with reflections, insights, and practical tips for building an academic career in STEM fields.Often, little is really known about what it means to be a university professor until one is actually in the role and much learning is done 'on the job'. This book collates and updates blog posts that the author has written throughout her career to explain the multiple roles of an assistant professor at a top research university. It chronicles the day-to-day challenges, pressures, and rewards of academic life. It is organized thematically and covers topics such as what an assistant professor actually does, how to foster an innovative research group, how to achieve target research outcomes and stand out from the crowd, how to create and manage a diverse research group, and how to achieve a sustainable work-life balance. It provides both practical advice and personal reflection, enabling readers to better understand the job requirements and prepare for success within this challenging and competitive environment.This work provides a vital insider's perspective to early-career academics, including postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors, as well as graduate students aspiring to academic careers. It also contains valuable information for university administrators, educational policymakers, and anyone responsible for career development programs and academic mentoring initiatives in universities.

There’s a Bunny in Your Book

'Brilliant and discursive'Antonia Fraser, Sunday TimesWinner of the FAWCETT PRIZEand EMILY TOTH AWARDIn the 2000 years since her death Cleopatra has been re-created over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B.De Mille she was 'the wickedest woman in history'.This book is about the real Cleopatra, the most powerful woman in her world, but also about the legion of imaginary Cleopatras and about the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.
