The Gruffalo

Return to the deep dark wood with the brand new Gruffalo picture book from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler The Gruffalo said to his daughter one day, "Your Gruffalo Granny is coming to stay." The Gruffalo and the Gruffalo's Child are getting ready for a visit from Gruffalo Granny! Will they get the better of the little brown mouse this time and serve Granny a delicious bowl of mouse stew - or will Mouse manage to outwit them once again? 'Evoking the anticipation a child feels when waiting for a loved one to visit . . . another surefire family favourite' - The Observer 'Featuring characters from Donaldson's previous books and a wonderful twist, this beautiful addition to the series is simply superb' - Daily Mail 'An homage to the act of storytelling . . . a worthy addition to the Gruffalo canon' - The Independent 'The story delivers exactly the kind of fun, suspense and silliness young readers love' - The Sun This joyful celebration of storytelling, wit and bravery features the return of much-loved characters and is destined to become a classic. As irresistibly funny and surprising as previous number one bestsellers The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, Gruffalo Granny deserves a place on every child's bookshelf.

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'The funniest book ever written about wanting to drink yourself to death' Lou Sanders 'Insightful and intelligent. Harrowing but hopeful. And, as always, hilarious' Adrian Chiles 'A triumph, and as powerful a description of alcoholism as I've read' Bryony Gordon ___________________ John Robins is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, Taskmaster champion and award-winning broadcaster. He is also an alcoholic. But what does that mean? In Thirst, John tells the story of his life through the lens of alcohol, the drinks that made him, and those that broke him. From his earliest drinking experiences - pretending to be drunk aged five, spraying aftershave into his mouth at a school play afterparty, and drinking red wine alone at university - to his last drink in 2022, he traces his journey into sobriety. From hazy memory to sudden clarity, John reflects on mental health, friendship, creativity and the lies we tell ourselves. He asks: are alcoholics born or made? How do we understand youthful missteps? And can Buddhism provide relief when dealing with haemorrhoids? Filled with insights and epiphanies from the world of addiction and recovery, Thirst blends John's trademark honesty and hilarious digressions with the collective wisdom of alcoholics to offer a compelling, powerful and morbidly funny narrative for anyone who has ever asked 'why do we drink?', 'why do I drink?' or 'do I drink too much?'. ___________________ 'The most honest, helpful and perceptive book I've ever read about alcohol, and also the funniest' Josh Widdicombe 'A rigorous and courageous look at the making and unmaking of an alcoholic that also often made me laugh aloud' Amy Liptrot'He has laid himself bare in a way that is sure to help others' Alan Davies

Signature Editions

Epic tales of heroism and adventure from Norse mythology, by noted scholar of myth and folklore H. A. Guerber, now repackaged for Union Square and Co.'s Signature Editions series. Over the centuries, Northern mythology has exerted much influence on Western customs, language, and literature. Its principal theme of the perpetual struggle of the beneficent forces of nature against the injurious, and its twin characteristics of dark tragedy and grim humor, tinge much European literature and music, most notably Wagner’s Ring Cycle.&nbsp; In this volume, a noted scholar of myth and folklore has assembled a rich collection of Northern mythology as preserved in the Eddas and sagas of Iceland. These are perhaps the purest versions of the original myths, thanks to the island’s remoteness and lack of contact with outside influences. Both grand and tragical, the age-old tales tell of the creation of the world; the heroic deeds of such gods and heroes as Odin, Thor, and Siegfried; the machinations of the evil Loki; the fantastical adventures of giants, dwarfs, and elves; the twilight of the gods; and much else.&nbsp;

Myths of the Norsemen

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond senior executives and leaders and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.
