The Federalist Papers

Hamilton, Madison, and Jay's Essential Writings on the U.S. Constitution and American Liberty

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

**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

The Genius of Trees

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way. ¿ How do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need? ¿ How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? ¿ How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all? Kate Pickett is a world-leading social scientist whose life's work has been to identify the underlying causes of society's most important problems - and the long-term solutions that will actually work. In this inspiring book, she shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. This means confronting once and for all the fundamental problems of poverty and inequality that lie behind all the others. Drawing on over three decades of evidence, and an array of proven solutions and real-world success stories from across the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, galvanising, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them. 'Just what these times are crying out for' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics

'A sensation ... you'll be stimulated, provoked and entertained. Of how many books can that be said?' Sunday Telegraph 'Prepare to be dazzled' Malcolm Gladwell WITH A NEW FOREWORD CELEBRATING 20 YEARS SINCE PUBLICATION Assume nothing, question everything.

Critical Criminological Perspectives

First Steps into the Critical Dimension of Criminology

Whose Side is Criminology on?

California Governor Gavin Newsom's intimate and poignant account of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics 'Go slow,' his political elders advised him, but Gavin Newsom has never known such a speed. For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father's family from Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later Newsom would be elected as mayor. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. His childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into a world of wealth and connections. But the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother's perseverance and his father's reverence of California - not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety. Elected as governor and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here, he reflects on the long journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America.

A Memoir of Discovery

Young Man in a Hurry

Wry and exhilarating, Chutzpah is a fearless exploration of what is possible when one person simply refuses to choose between abandoning their roots and abandoning themselves. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 WINGATE PRIZE "Clear-sighted and courageous, with an extremely dry sense of humour" DAVID BADDIEL, author of Jews Don't Count "A gutting, brave story, written with exquisite candour." Dr. Sara Glass, author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat Yehudis Fletcher was six years old when she decided to find out if there was actually a G-d. One Sabbath evening, she dared to defy a fundamental rule. She didn't wash her hands before breaking bread. At the table, Yehudis braced herself for a terrible, biblical punishment: being swallowed by the ground or consumed by fire. But nothing happened. It was at this moment that she discovered a spark within that would grow to make her invincible. As the daughter of a rabbi raised in an Orthodox Jewish community, Yehudis struggled to conform to the strict expectations placed upon her and her siblings. Outspoken, curious and desperate to know more about G-d, she felt fenced in by arbitrary rules and questions left unanswered. As she grew older, these restrictions intensified and her questions for G-d hung heavier than ever. Repeatedly let down by those who were supposed to protect her and pushed on to a path that seemed to take her further away from who she really was, she began to yearn for a life where she could embrace all facets of herself. When Yehudis's sexuality came to blows with the expectations of her family and her community, the pressure to inhabit a binary position reached fever pitch. Confronted with either losing the faith she loved or losing herself, Yehudis made the most daring decision of all: she decided to stay. "Chutzpah is a brilliant and fascinating insight into an ultra-orthodox Jewish community." Harriet Wistrich, author of Sister in Law "Yehudis's resilience is truly inspirational." Ashley Blaker, author of Normal Schmormal

Chutzpah

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026 'Stunningly poetic and vulnerable . . . If this book doesn't change your perspective on relationships, nothing will' GILLIAN ANDERSON 'A fascinating and big-hearted portrait of sex, intimacy and non-monogamy' CLOVER STROUD 'Will leave you thrilled and humming with possibility' YAEL VAN DER WOUDEN 'A candid and insightful perspective on love in all its forms' STYLIST ''Written with verve and style, connecting sexual freedom to a rich, multi-faceted ancestry' NANA DARKOA SEKYIAMAH 'A brave and elegantly executed memoir about the power of writing your own rules, shaking off shame and fighting for a marriage to work' THE TIMES What if you dared to want more - from love, from life, from yourself? Deepa Paul rises from her boyfriend's bed in the early hours of dawn. She gets dressed, slips away with a kiss and cycles home, where she is welcomed lovingly by her husband. There isn't a glimmer of shame, deception or guilt, only the honesty and compassion needed to make this kind of life possible - even if it wasn't always this easy. Whose idea was it? What are the rules? Are you ever jealous? Deepa answers these questions openly and tenderly, as she seeks truths that many of us long to discover, but few dare to ask. Is there more to life and love than what I've always known? Do I deserve it? Is it worth it? Intimate and bold, this is one woman's story of becoming, of desire and of identity, and of finding the answers she believed she deserved - one question at a time. *Previously published in hardback as Ask Me How It Works: Love in an Open Marriage*

How to Write Fiction

A Long Game

The New York Times bestseller, Financial Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year The book we need to understand China today: a riveting, first-hand account of its seismic progress from an indispensable expert voice For close to a decade, Dan Wang has been observing China's tumultuous and astounding growth. The state has constructed towering bridges, gleaming railways and sprawling factories to improve economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout society. China has grown so quickly in part by beating America at its own game: capitalism and harnessing the restless energy of a vast population. Here Wang blends political and economic analysis with reportage into a provocative new framework for understanding China - one that helps us see America more clearly, too. Whereas China is an engineering state, relentlessly building big, the United States has transformed into a lawyerly society, stalling every attempt to make change, both good and bad. As relations between the US and China are tense and uncertain and the potential for dreadful conflict looms, Wang offers an inventive new way of thinking about the two superpowers. Breakneck reveals that each country points towards a better path for the other. How much better the world would be, he argues, if Americans could live in a society not only governed by lawyers, and Chinese citizens could live with a state that values their individual liberties. 'An illuminating account of China's dizzying rise and its deepening pathologies' Chris Miller 'One of the best books published on China this year' The Times
