A Financial Times Best Book of 2025A Forbes Best Business Book of 2025The US is the source of just about all the technologies that define modern life: personal computers, operating systems, smartphones, e-commerce, web browsers, email, search engines, social networks, electric cars and the rest. And most of the tech companies that created and monetized these technologies are also in the US.
In this book Mehran Gul, the winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize, asks: is that changing?Less than a decade ago, the sentiment towards Chinese tech compa­nies was often dismissive and complacent. Now the alarm bells are ringing. But as the commentariat pontificates how the US-China tech battle will play out, an equally interesting question to ask is: are there more Chinas out there? Places no one is taking seriously now that might turn out to be massively competitive sooner than we think.Samsung, a South Korean conglomerate, competes with Apple to be the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones. Arm, founded in the UK, develops chip designs that are used in more than 90 per cent of all mobile devices. Spotify, based in Sweden, is the most popular music streaming service in the world.That's not all. The world's most important semiconductor company, TSMC, is in Taiwan. The other most important company in the semiconductor industry, ASML, is in the Netherlands. Some of the world's best-known games like Minecraft, Candy Crushand Angry Birdscame from gaming studios in the Nordics. Nearly all the major electric battery manufacturers like CATL, LG, and SK On are in Asia.This is a story about technology and the places where it finds its way into the world. Silicon Valley has for half a century been unrivalled in spinning out technologies and fast-growing, high-value, billion-dollar-plus tech companies, the Apples, Facebooks, Googles of the world, that made it the centre for the most rapid creation of wealth in human history. Its secrets are spreading to more places.The geography of innovation is shifting. The world has a lot more high-value tech companies than ever before, growing a lot faster than ever before, in a lot more places than ever before. This is a book about these places.

From New York Times bestseller Garth Nix! On her eighteenth birthday, Lady Truthful Newington—nicknamed “Newt”— is dreaming about her upcoming trip to London, where the streets are filled with magic and eligible young lords. Before she goes, she is to inherit her family’s treasure: the Newington Emerald. A dazzling heart-shaped gem, the Emerald contains mysterious and powerful magic.When the Emerald is stolen, Newt sets off to recover it. Her plan entails dressing up as a man, mustache included, as no well-bred young lady should be seen out and about on her own. While disguised, Newt encounters the handsome but insufferable Major Harnett, who joins the hunt for the missing Emerald. Offended by her new ally’s high-handedness but eager for assistance, Newt strives to conceal her true identity from Harnett, little guessing that he too is not as he appears.A sweeping adventure ensues filled with sinister fey, fancy dresses, witty banter, daring seaborne escapes, grand balls, and a sorceress whose evil plot threatens everyone from Newt herself to the Prince Regent. And as Newt and Harnett face danger together, each realizes there is more to the other than meets the eye—and more alarming yet, they may actually be falling in love.The New York Times bestselling author of Sabriel, Garth Nix, shares his own love for the Regency romantasy genre in a charmed world where everyone has something to hide.Tropes: <ul><li>Mistaken Identity</li><li>Enemies to Lovers</li><li>Forced Proximity</li><li>Dark Fey</li><li>Slow Burn</li><li>Regency Romance</li></ul>

Speech Acoustics of English as a Second Language is a pioneering study that bridges the science of phonetics with the practice of language teaching. Through rigorous acoustic analysis of prosody, stress, and intonation, the book reveals how first-language interference shapes the acquisition of English in multilingual contexts. It foregrounds underrepresented regional dialects-including Hindko, Brahui, Bagri, Odki, and Marwari-advancing linguistic equity while offering fresh insights into the challenges faced by ESL learners. Combining methodological transparency with accessible exposition, this volume serves as both a scholarly contribution to phonetics and a practical resource for educators, curriculum designers, and researchers. It reshapes our understanding of speech acoustics in second-language learning and provides actionable pathways for improving pedagogy in diverse classrooms. Language is more than words-it is rhythm, melody, and sound. In multilingual societies like Pakistan, where dozens of regional languages coexist, English is often learned as a second language. But how do speakers of Hindko, Bagri, Brahui, Odki, Marwari, and other languages actually sound when they speak English? What subtle shifts in pitch, stress, and vowel quality reveal the influence of their mother tongues? This book, Speech Acoustics of English as Second &amp; First Languages Spoken in Pakistan, answers those questions with clarity and compassion. It is not just a technical study of speech sounds; it is a journey into the voices of Pakistan's diverse communities, showing how language, identity, and education intersect. Speech Acoustics of English as Second &amp; First Languages Spoken in Pakistan sets a new benchmark for inclusive, data-driven approaches to language education. It is a book that listens-to the voices of students, to the rhythms of dialects, and to the needs of educators. By combining precision with empathy, it shows that speech is not just sound-it is identity, culture, and connection. Unlike many academic texts, this book avoids dry technicality.

Wuthering Heights

Oxford World's Classics

''As flies to th' wanton boys are we to th' gods:
They bite us for their sport.'

Set in the recesses of British antiquity, King Lear broods on gift-giving, gratitude, service and love; the bonds that sustain human life within families, communities and the state. Concerned with what remains and what is possible when these bonds crack, cool off or come apart, the tragedy forces repeated confrontations with abysmal cruelty, which it yokes together with instances of compassion that seem chillingly frail by comparison. By the end of the twentieth century, Lear took its place not only as Shakespeare's greatest work, but also his best play for our times, fitting then, in its anguish and denials of consolation, as it is now. Its wild mixtures of levity and terror, kindness and malevolence, what came to be called its absurdity, was prized as especially modern.

The New Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems. Using the text from the landmark The New Oxford Shakespeare Complete Works: Modern Critical Edition, these volumes offer readers the latest thinking on the authentic texts (collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare's work) alongside innovative introductions from leading scholars. The texts are accompanied by a comprehensive set of critical apparatus to give readers the best resources to help understand and enjoy Shakespeare's work.

ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Last of Us meets The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in this stand-alone dystopian romance about survival, sacrifice, and love that risks everything. By encouraging massive accumulations of debt from its underclass, a single corporation, Caerus, controls all aspects of society.Inesa lives with her brother in a half-sunken town where they scrape by running a taxidermy shop. Unbeknownst to Inesa, their cruel and indolent mother has accrued an enormous debt—enough to qualify one of her children for Caerus’s livestreamed assassination spectacle: the Lamb’s Gauntlet.Melinoë is a Caerus assassin, trained to track and kill the sacrificial Lambs. The product of neural reconditioning and physiological alteration, she is a living weapon, known for her cold brutality and deadly beauty. She has never failed to assassinate one of her marks.When Inesa learns that her mother has offered her as a sacrifice, at first she despairs—the Gauntlet is always a bloodbath for the impoverished debtors. But she’s had years of practice surviving in the apocalyptic wastes, and with the help of her hunter brother she might stand a chance of staying alive.For Melinoë, this is a game she can’t afford to lose. Despite her reputation for mercilessness, she is haunted by painful flashbacks. After her last Gauntlet, where she broke down on livestream, she desperately needs redemption.As Mel pursues Inesa across the wasteland, both girls begin to question everything: Inesa wonders if there’s more to life than survival, while Mel wonders if she’s capable of more than killing.And both wonder if, against all odds, they might be falling in love. <ul><li>Indie Next Pick</li><li>CBC Hot off the Press Pick</li><li>CCBC Choices 2026</li><li>NAIBA Book of the Year Finalist</li></ul>

Success in science depends nowadays on effective communication in English. This workbook is specifically designed to give under- and post-graduates confidence in writing in English. Examples and exercises show how to avoid common errors and how to rephrase and improve scientific texts. The generation of a model manuscript enables the reader to recognise how scientific English is constructed and how to follow the conventions of scientific writing. Guidelines for structuring written work and vocabulary lists should encourage young scientists to develop a concise and mature style.
The workbook is accessible to students of many fields, including those of the natural and technical sciences, medicine, psychology and economics. 
The fourth edition extends the list of words in the scientific lexicon and, as requested by many readers of previous editions, provides several short texts that illustrate the use of many of the less common words in the lexicon.

This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlights how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It covers key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.
