A fiercely funny and wise story of sensuality, money and romance - how those forces can break us, and how they can make us whole again. Charlotte Shane's utterly compelling serial memoir follows its author over the course of several years as she falls in and out of love, contemplates the nature of sex work and pursues pleasure for its own sake. Growing out of a series of confessional letters sent by the author to a small but devoted mailing list, her unstinting and sometimes heart-breaking honesty about sex and relationships went on to make them a viral sensation, gaining thousands of subscribers. By turns philosophical, irreverent and explicit, here is an affecting, immediate account of one life lived to its fullest.

Collins Classics

Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all.Mary Seacole - traveller, nurse, businesswoman and radical for her time - defied a prejudiced British government to care for soldiers wounded during the Crimean War.This ground breaking account, written by Seacole in 1857, brings to life her incredible journey from Jamaica to Central America and England, and then on to modern-day Ukraine, where she acted as nurse to injured soldiers while running her business, the 'British Hotel'. A witness to key battles, she gives vivid accounts of how she coped with disease, bombardment and other adversities during the Crimean War.In this extraordinary autobiography, Seacole shows how she navigated her way through racial injustice, poverty and ignorance to become the first woman of colour in Britain to publish her memoirs. It is a testament to her enduring legacy.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands

What is a meaningful life? What does it mean to flourish? Antonia Case, the co-founder of New Philosopher and Womankind magazines, quits her corporate job in the city and, with her partner, travels across the world in search of meaning. In a quest to find answers, she turns off the soundtrack of the media, rids herself of technology, and with little more than books as carry-on luggage, she journeys from Buenos Aires to Paris, from Barcelona to Byron Bay, seeking guidance from ancient philosophers and modern-day psychologists on what is a good life, and what is a life worth living. Along the way she discovers why winning the lottery doesn't make you happy, why making is better than having, and how love and belonging are vital to our sense of selves. Packed with insight into life's big questions, Flourish will take you on a riveting journey in search of what matters most.

'Antonia Case brings the clarity of years of editing Womankind and New Philosopher magazines to her new book.'
Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore, journalist for The New York Times and the Guardian

'Flourish is an outstanding book about the tricky business of being in the world.'
Times Literary Supplement

The Extraordinary Journey Into Finding Your Best Self

Flourish

"Inspiring and joyous."-People"Heartwarming . . . infectious . . . Morillo's&nbsp;The Boy Who Reached for the Stars&nbsp;is every bit the inspiration he means it to be."-Kirkus ReviewsThe engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above.

Sad Songs

A sweeping history of Disney's rise to cultural dominance that pulls all the skeletons from the corporate closet and playfully decodes the hidden political messages in all of your favorite childhood movies. 
 
In The Extended Universe, Vicky Osterweil takes us on a quest to discover the black magic by which Disney has successfully made its image synonymous with not only youthful splendor, but pop culture itself. Their "imagineers" have made it impossible to reflect on the wonders of growing up without immediately thinking of Disney's movies, Disney's amusement parks, and various other bits and bobs of related Disney merchandising. What Osterweil unearths are reactionary political commitments and maleficent legal maneuvers-from fighting to protect the patent on the COVID vaccine, to breaking early efforts at an animator's union-so cartoonishly evil they would make one of Walt's own animated villains blush. 
 
Along the way, Osterweil braids together Disney's corporate history, an economic accounting of capitalism's dependency on IP, and deeply engaging (and not entirely unsympathetic) analysis of some of Disney's most famous movies, including Snow White, The Lion King (animated and live action!),&nbsp; Black Panther, and more. The result is an entertainingly woven and convincing case that Disney's entire business model has been built upon a ruthless and fanatical defense of intellectual property rights-from Steamboat Willie to Infinity Wars and beyond!

How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World

The Extended Universe

There are seven common reasons why relationships fail.An expert on midlife, and now relationships, the hugely respected journalist Miranda Sawyer outlines these common reasons, using anecdotal and personal evidence to delight and inform the reader as they naviagte partnered life.Did you know that one in ten people argue with their partner about finances at least once a fortnight?The most obvious argument is centred around a lack of money. Statistically, it’s unlikely that both partners will be paid exactly the same amount, therefore is it really fair to go Dutch and split finances equally? Money is just one of seven contentious issues which can lead to a relationship going pear-shaped.Sex, culture, children, personal taste (interiors, for example) and arguing can each be a catalyst for The End. Although the book can’t promise not to end your relationship, it will make you wiser.

Compassion Focused Therapy

New addition to the Compassionate Mind Approach series of interactive workbooks focusing on cancer and other somatic disorders and providing a way to deal with your diagnosis, treatment and recovery with self-compassion. The workbook will teach you the principles and techniques of compassion focused therapy, and you will learn how to treat yourself with compassion in the face of cancer, how to manage shame and concerns over your changing body image, how to manage pain and how to find a mental place of safety, as well as taking these tools into your life beyond cancer, in recovery. THE COMPASSIONATE MIND APPROACH The self-help books in this series are based on compassion focused therapy (CFT, developed by series editor Paul Gilbert). This brings together an understanding of how our mind can cause us difficulties but also provides us with a powerful solution in the shape of mindfulness and compassion. It teaches ways to stimulate the part of the brain connected with kindness, warmth, compassion and safeness, and to calm the part that makes us feel, anxious, angry, sad or depressed.
