'A fascinating insight into the power of sound' Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet

'Transformative and a fascinating read; this book will open your ears to the world of sound and change your life' Steven Bartlett, bestselling author of The Diary of a CEO 'A fascinating insight into the power of sound' Susan Cain, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of QUIET Every day, the sounds around us affect every aspect of our human experience, and thus fundamentally alter our quality of life, for better or worse. It is only recently that scientists have realised that sounds connect us to the world in ways that are every bit as vivid and evocative as visual landscapes. Hearing is the first sense we develop, and as our primary warning sense it is hardwired into our brains. And yet, in an increasingly noisy and distracted world, most people pay scant attention to the sounds around them, causing them to lose contact with the essential skill of listening. Sound Affects is about rediscovering the wonder of sound, and understanding how powerfully it affects us, whether we are paying attention or not. It is also a manual for taking back responsibility for the sounds we consume and the sounds we make, so we can enhance our own happiness, effectiveness and well-being. In the process, the reader will discover that: - stars are like bells, ringing with sound black holes make sound 50 octaves below what we can hear - snapping shrimp may be only 1cm long but they make sound that's as loud as a rock concert - whales can communicate underwater over hundreds of miles with very low frequency sound that travels five times as fast as sound in air - individual cells make unique sounds, enabling scientists detect early signs of metastases - dolphins have names and call each other by them

Good Girl Exit

A NEW YORK TIMES &amp; SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Extraordinary... beautifully written, clear-eyed and engaged in the deepest ethical questions of our day' Rory Stewart 'Mallaby has done full justice to his kaleidoscopically interesting subject ... expertly structured and vividly reported, the book presents the most insightful portrait of Hassabis to date' Financial Times A revelatory portrait of the visionary behind Google DeepMind, the race to control the future - and what it means to win Even in a tech world crowded with visionary leaders, Demis Hassabis is recognized as a special case. Born to working class, immigrant parents in North London, a chess prodigy by five and wizard coder in his teens, he turned down a seven-figure job offer from a video-game studio to study science at Cambridge. Long before the current obsession with AI, he founded the path-breaking company DeepMind in order to pursue a single, audacious goal: the dream of artificial superintelligence, which would solve humanity's hardest problems, change life and work as we know it, and perhaps even unlock the deepest mysteries of the Universe. For his scientific achievements, he won a Nobel Prize in 2024, and his company, now Google DeepMind, is considered the tech giant's engine room. For the past three years, Sebastian Mallaby has had unprecedented access to Hassabis and DeepMind, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with him and his inner circle as well as detractors and rivals at other companies. The result is a revelation-packed portrait of a singular mind and a historic reckoning with the AI revolution, a shift potentially more significant than any since the dawn of complex thought 70,000 years ago. As Mallaby chronicles, DeepMind is locked in an arms race with Silicon Valley competitors to build artificial general intelligence, and thereby become the keeper of humanity's future. Yet this is not a Silicon Valley story. Hassabis has remained in Britain, and unlike his rivals, his aims are not wealth and power but scientific enlightenment. Like them, however, he is haunted by the memory of Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atom bomb. He aims to control the technology, but the technology may ultimately control him - and humanity writ large.

Demis Hassabis, DeepMind and the Quest for Superintelligence

The Infinity Machine

A revelatory account of the racist conspiracy theory that now pervades global politics - from the prize-winning author of the million-copy bestseller How To Be an Antiracist 'An essential framework for parsing current events . . . meticulously researched . . . worthwhile and accessible . . . also offers a modicum of hope' Arwa Mahdawi, Guardian Throughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities. In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age. But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik's massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today. PRAISE FOR IBRAM X. KENDI: 'The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind' The New York Times on How To Be an Antiracist 'One of the pre-eminent intellectuals on race' Guardian 'A kind, dignified, preternaturally wise teacher' GQ 'One of today's most visible and sought-after public intellectuals' Wall Street Journal 'One of the US's most respected scholars of race and history' Afua Hirsch '[Kendi] is not a historian fearful of upsetting orthodoxies or questioning fixed reputations' David Olusoga

Great Replacement Theory and the Origins of Our Authoritarian Age

Chain of Ideas

'Compelling and compassionate' Sadiq Khan 'Solutions-focused authorship at its best' Andrew Roberts 'A how-to book with inspired answers to our urgent questions' Lyse Doucet 'Read this book as an antidote to fatalism and gloom' Robert Peston 'Closely reported, surprising and, above all, hopeful' Jonathan Freedland At a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination. - Taiwan's health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. - Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara produce enough clean energy to power two million homes. - Estonia has transformed itself into a digital pioneer in a single generation - becoming the world's first fully digital government where 97.6% of citizens access state services online. - Costa Rica has tripled its economy while doubling its forest cover, proving that green policies can pay direct dividends. What unites these countries, and more, is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The places showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn. 'A persuasive and imaginative argument against the gloom of our times' Bronwen Maddox 'Seminal... A rallying cry for radical, pragmatic optimism; democratic and institutional courage' Shashi Tharoor 'A thought-provoking read, full of real ideas that could make Britain a better place' Lindsey Hilsum 'A must-read for Keir Starmer and anyone hoping to take over from him' The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt

There is no meant to be but the love I've known has made it hard to believe that An inventive, funny and deeply moving family epic: a love story, an elegy and a reminder that even in the mess of family and memory there is something to laugh about AN OBSERVER NON-FICTION BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026 'A wild ride' JON McGREGOR 'Raw and intimate, so daring and disobedient' SARAH HALL 'The most beautiful and truthful song to the pain present in a good life' EVIE WYLD Jarred McGinnis was born to a Southern US clan where masculinity, resilience and physical violence were intertwined. In There Is No Meant to Be he unearths the legends, secrets and scars that have shaped his family line from his outlaw Irish ancestors to his mother Momo's gift of foresight, and the ghosts - both real and remembered - that follow him into adulthood. Two decades on from the near-fatal accident that left him in a wheelchair, McGinnis is married and the father of two girls, living first in East London and now Marseille. He writes about love within the context of care and of the particular vulnerability that comes from being a parent with a disability. In a daring imaginative leap, he writes of the end of life too, reaching beyond his own death to look at what truly makes a life. 'Caustic, hilarious, unflinchingly honest and so captivatingly humane, I couldn't put this book down' JAN CARSON 'In a world teetering on madness, here is an ode to truth, courage, and the beautiful power of vulnerability' ELAINE FEENEY 'A multi-layered, many-textured masterpiece' CHARLIE GILMOUR

Why doing nothing can change your life

The Brain at Rest

'This book is essential -- for anyone living with pain, and for those who care for them' Lisa Sanders, MD, Professor, Yale School of Medicine 'A masterclass in healing' Michael Gervais, psychologist We can move the dial on pain Leading expert Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of treating pain Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an ageing body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was wrong? We've been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain - influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we've been told - finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person, not just a body part. Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight - it offers an empowering way forward.

**LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026** 'Sublime ... A true masterpiece' DAILY TELEGRAPH, ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'Mind-blowing' GUARDIAN 'Wondrous. Gives us trees as we've never seen them before' ISABELLA TREE, author of Wilding The extraordinary story of the inventive and astonishing ways trees have shaped our natural world. Over hundreds of millions of years, from the prehistoric forests to those standing tall over us today, trees have evolved to sculpt the environments. They split rock, change sex, spin carbon, and manipulate bacteria, animals and even humankind to achieve their ends and shape the natural world. In The Genius of Trees, Harriet Rix takes us on a mind-expanding, globe-spanning journey into the remarkable inner lives of trees. For the first time, we see trees not as victims, but as powerful agents of change in a grand ecological narrative - as leading actors in the great drama of life on earth who have transformed our planet and offer us hope for its future. **A TELEGRAPH, COUNTRY LIFE, NEW YORKER AND CRITIC BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025** 'Exceptional ... Changes our entire view of trees' ROBIN LANE FOX, Financial Times Gardening Columnist 'Full of wonder and revelation' SUE STUART-SMITH, author of The Well Gardened Mind 'Captivating' COUNTRY LIFE 'Profoundly inventive' INDEPENDENT 'A magisterial tour de force - destined to become a classic' BEN RAWLENCE, author of The Treeline

How The Solar System Shaped Human History - And May Help Save Our Planet 'A stunning history of how we've come to understand environmental change on Earth...A rich, eye-opening tapestry, and beautifully told!' LEWIS DARTNELL 'Masterfully shows that our understanding of some of the world's greatest threats has come from watching the stars' LUKE KEMP Our solar system is an extraordinary place where asteroids careen off course and solar winds hurl charged particles across billions of miles of space. Yet we seldom consider how these events, so immense in scale, influence our own fragile blue planet. In Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean, Dagomar Degroot traces the surprising threads linking humanity to the rest of the solar system. He reveals how the shifting sands of other planets have shaped geopolitics, spurred scientific and cultural innovation, and encouraged new ideas about the emergence and fate of life. Martian dust storms altered the trajectory of the Cold War and inspired fantastical stories about alien civilisations. Comet impacts on Jupiter led to the first planetary defence strategy. And volcanic eruptions spewed sulfuric acid into Venus's atmosphere, exposing the existential risks of global warming. But just as we expand the boundaries of space exploration, cosmic environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable to human activity. Yet, they may also hold the key to slowing down the climate crisis back on Earth. Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean urges us to develop an interplanetary environmentalism across a vast mosaic of entangled worlds and to consider the profound connections that bind us to the cosmos and each other. 'This dazzling book is an enormous contribution, challenging us to re-envision the universe and our place in it' SARAH STEWART JOHNSON 'Boldly taken environmental history where no historian has gone before...The book brims over with both interesting anecdotes and arresting perspectives on our place within the cosmos' J.R. McNEILL

Stories of Survival and Transformation After Trauma – 'Profoundly moving' Siri Hustvedt

Unspeakable

I freed myself from your father, I thought this would be a new life for me and now it's starting all over, everything's starting all over again. The blazing new book from once-in-a-generation writer Édouard Louis, as he helps his mother escape from an abusive partner SELECTED AS A BOOK TO READ FOR 2026 BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN One evening, during a writers' residency in Athens, Édouard receives a tearful phone call from his mother, Monique. She tells him that the man she lives with in Paris is abusive, inflicting upon her the same drunken behaviour as Édouard's father, repeating the same cycles of violence, shame and humiliation she fled from before. Step by step, they plan her escape, celebrating each small victory of Monique's new beginning. But how do you rebuild your life when you've never truly known freedom? Monique Escapes is an intimate and gripping portrait of a mother fighting for her self-determination, and of the son who becomes her ally. It is a story of reinvention, the price of liberty and the remaking of the relationship between a mother and a son who, despite the weight of their shared history, manage to find each other again. Translated by John Lambert 'One of the most important, politically vital and morally bracing writers of his generation' GUARDIAN 'I feel so lucky to be living and writing at the same time as Édouard Louis' MAGGIE NELSON 'One of the major writers of our time' GARTH GREENWELL
