Share in the company of owls in this nocturnal love song… From the author of Some of Us Just Fall, longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. 'I couldn't put down this warm and comforting, beautiful book.' Ajay Tegala, author of Wetland Diaries ___ In the woods above Polly Atkin's home in Grasmere, Cumbria live the tawny owls she calls her neighbours. Each night, they come down to her cottage at dusk, calling out as night falls – in particular a trio of owlets she watches grow from fledglings to young adults. As the antics of the owl siblings develop – their capacity to play, to bicker, to share and to protect – they encourage her to think differently about some of the big needs of all our lives: solitude and companionship, care and belonging, rest and retreat. And into the frame step questions about all sorts of relationships, from how we feel when in darkness to the homes and connection we so desperately seek. The Company Of Owls is a love song to these incredible creatures, and a reflection on what makes them, and us, unique. It's a call to find joy in unexpected places and times. It is a lesson in learning to listen – to really listen – when all around us seems clamour and noise. ___ 'Rarely have I found a book so transporting, so moving.' Jessica J. Lee, author of Dispersals 'A beautiful guide to moving through this world with tender curiosity, joy and reflection.' Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean

'Labour's record in government shows that Attlee and Blair were in the top rank of change-making Prime Ministers, and Wilson not far behind. An inspirational history.' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL A fascinating history of how the unfolding drama of each election from 1900 to 2024 has shaped the Labour Party and modern Britain. This is an essential guide to how left-wing politics succeeds or fails through an accessible, highly readable and timely history of Labour's performance in the 33 British General Elections since 1900. There have been 8 hung parliaments resulting in coalitions. Labour has won power 12 times; the Conservatives outright on 14 occasions. The final chapter of the book analyses the landslide result of the General Election on 4th July 2024. VICTORY AT THE BALLOT BOX is a book about the pursuit of power for working people. In assessing the fortunes of the Labour Party at the ballot box, it asks a simple overarching question – how and why does Labour win and lose? When Rishi Sunak announced the 4 July 2024 General Election, the Labour Party had been out of power for almost fifteen years and lost four consecutive elections since 2010. These were turbulent times defined by austerity, a Scottish independence referendum, Brexit, and the rise and fall of Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson. Now, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the Labour Party is back in government. How do the lessons of the past show us how Starmer can maximise his victory and deliver the change promised in Labour's manifesto? With exclusive insights from former leaders and Prime Ministers - including Gordon Brown and Neil Kinnock - Victory at the Ballot Box delves deep into the secrets of long-forgotten campaigns, traces the Party's roots, examines the strategies, leaders, transformative moments and missteps which have defined Labour's success at the ballot box and shaped modern Britain. Each chapter assesses the state of the nation going into a general election, the issues that shaped that election agenda and the dominant leaders and personalities of the day. This includes analysis of the election result statistics from landslides to hung parliaments, starting with the Labour Party's first election with only 15 candidates in 1900, Labour first calling for the abolition of the House of Lords in 1910 and the first Labour Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald. It includes party manifestos, such as 'The nation wants food, work and homes' (Labour, 1945), party political broadcasts (first televised in 1951) and the historical context for all the major political movements of 20th and 21st century Britain. At the end of every chapter there is an election recap such as the following example: 1923 General Election Result Date of Election: 6 December 1923 Turnout: 71.1% Labour candidates: 427 MPs: 191 Votes: 4,439,780 Labour % share of vote: 30.5% Result: Labour minority Highlight: James Ramsay MacDonald becomes the first Labour Prime Minister 'If Labour is to flourish in power, it needs to know much more about its history. Reading this book would be an excellent starting point for its leaders and followers.' Anthony Seldon 'A timely and brilliantly illuminating book that offers much needed context to the 2024 general election. A must read.' Steve Richards, BBC Radio 4 Week in Westminster and host of Rock and Roll Politics

* LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION 2025 'Reading Hannah's story, compellingly told, you will fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds, true masters of the sky.' Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE The inspirational story of a bird lover who became a nature-warrior in a David v Goliath battle to save swifts from extinction. Nature Needs You tells the compelling story of how Hannah, without campaigning experience, funding or contacts, set out to save swifts from extinction in the UK. Her mission is to change the law and make 'swift bricks' mandatory so that the birds who nest in our walls will have a future in Britain. Nature Needs You delves into the highs and lows of trying to win hearts and minds, grab the news agenda with her naked Feather Speech, win Caroline Lucas and Lord Zac Goldsmith's support, navigate meetings with Secretaries of State and debates in the Houses of Parliament, survive the trolling and midnight self-doubt and raise a petition with the requisite 100,000 signatures for a Parliamentary debate. At stake, with a decline in numbers of over 60% since 1995, are the birds who have become our symbol of summer, the swifts screaming in the skies above us. Steeped in love for the wild, by a talented writer, Nature Needs You is a clarion call to save the nature on our doorsteps and to prove that passion can be a superpower in bringing change to nature-depleted Britain. Raw, funny, self-deprecating and unstoppable in turn, this is nature writing with the pace of a thriller. Hannah is now knocking at the door of the new Labour Secretary of State for Housing, in the hope that, where Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove failed, Angela Rayner and Matthew Pennycook will save our swifts. 'I applaud Hannah's book; her inner steel and her sassy take on conservation are inspiring. I am so heartened that there are courage-driven young women holding nature in the light so that it WILL be seen by the powerful.' Mary Colwell, author of Curlew Moon 'This book might make you scream. It is the story of a fight that started with a promise to a small bird. It is about bird spirit and the spirit of a very singular human. Hannah Bourne-Taylor has a searing eye for both truth and charlatans.' Keggie Carew, author of Beastly 'A wonderful book that will make you furious, hopeful and inspired by turns. Buy it, read it and then become an activist yourself.' Roger Morgan-Grenville, author of Shearwaters

'It is impossible not to keep the pages turning' Scotland on Sunday 'It's a brilliant book everyone, go and get it!' Dan Snow 'Compelling and meticulously researched, the riveting life of a maverick Scottish spy.' Charles Cumming THE THRILLING BIOGRAPHY OF ROBERT BRUCE LOCKHART, BRITAIN'S 'AGENT' IN MOSCOW Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart (1887–1970) was an impressive figure: a diplomat, intelligence agent, conspirator, journalist and propagandist who played a key role in both world wars. He was a man who charmed his way into the confidences of everyone from Leon Trotsky to Anthony Eden. A man whom the influential press baron Lord Beaverbook claimed 'could well have been prime minister'. And yet Lockhart died almost forgotten and near destitute, a Scottish footnote in the pages of history. Rogue Agent is the first biography of this gifted yet habitually flawed maverick. It chronicles his many exploits, from his time as Britain's 'Agent' in Moscow, and his role in a plot to bring down the communist regime, to leading the Political Warfare Executive, a secret body responsible for disinformation and propaganda in the Second World War. Exploring Lockhart's unorthodox thinking and contributions to the development of psychological warfare as well as his hedonistic lifestyle, late nights and many affairs that left him in a state of perpetual debt, Rogue Agent tells the thrilling story of this unconventional war hero. 'In this rigorously researched yet lively and highly readable account, James Crossland cuts through the myth and legend to tell a compelling story.' Professor Rory Cormac, author of How to Stage a Coup 'This riveting account of Lockhart's adventures in revolutionary Russia, his penchant for exotic women and extravagant nightlife, reads like a thriller.' Julia Boyd, author of A Village in the Third Reich 'A mesmerising tale of espionage and journalism . . . when an elite Scot with "no drop of English blood in my veins" might believe he could almost single-handedly change world history.'

The revealing story of the legendary Wallis Simpson's controversial and formative year in China in the 1920s. 'Compelling' Dr Amanda Foreman 'Fascinating' Lisa See 'Riveting' Anne Sebba 'Surprising' Anne de Courcy 'Convincing' Hugo Vickers 'Intriguing' Julia Boyd 'A book of fascinating revelations' Laurence Leamer 'Magisterial, beautifully written and impeccably researched' Alexander Larman In her memoirs, Wallis Simpson described her time in China as her 'Lotus Year', referring to Homer's Lotus Eaters, a group living in a state of dreamy forgetfulness, never to return home. That year, however, was also used to damn her in the eyes of the British Establishment. Determined to 'save' the monarchy, the British government's 'China Dossier' of Wallis's rumoured amorous and immoral activities in the Far East portrayed her as sordid, debauched, influenced by foreign agents, and unfit to marry a king. But little was really known about how she spent that mysterious period in her life – until now. Paul French, the New York Times bestselling author and award-winning historian of China, uncovers a completely different picture, portraying a woman of tremendous courage who may have acted as a courier for the US government, undertaking dangerous undercover diplomatic missions in a China torn by civil war. Despite the many challenges she faced, from violent riots to the breakdown of her abusive first marriage, it was there that she established her confidence and independence, developed her unique fashion sense, and forged friendships that would last a lifetime. She emerged from that year as the elegant, stylish, cosmopolitan and worldly woman for whom a king gave up his throne. Wallis Simpson: Her Lotus Year in 1920s China takes a headlong dive into Wallis's early, formative years – and into the chaotic and thrilling China of the period – to explore the untold story of a woman too often maligned by history.

Every animal on the planet owes its existence to one crucial piece of evolutionary engineering: the egg. It's time to tell a new story of life on Earth. 'Jules Howard's egg's-eye view of evolution is dripping with fascinating insights' ALICE ROBERTS 'So much passion and poetic prose' BBC Radio 4, Inside Science If you think of an egg, what do you see in your mind's eye? A chicken egg, hard-boiled? A slimy mass of frogspawn? Perhaps you see a human egg cell, prepared on a microscope slide in a laboratory? Or the majestic marble-blue eggs of the blackbird? Every egg there has ever been, is an emblem of survival. Yet the evolution of the animal egg is the dramatic subplot missing in many accounts of how life on Earth came to be. Quite simply, without this universal biological phenomenon, animals as we know them, including us, could not have evolved and flourished. In Infinite Life, zoology correspondent Jules Howard takes the reader on a mind-bending journey from the churning coastlines of the Cambrian Period and Carboniferous coal forests, where insects were stirring, to the end of the age of dinosaurs when live-birthing mammals began their modern rise to power. Eggs would evolve from out of the sea; be set by animals into soils, sands, canyons and mudflats; be dropped in nests wrapped in silk; hung in stick nests in trees, covered in crystallised shells or secured by placentas. Whether belonging to birds, insects, mammals or millipedes, animal eggs are objects that have been shaped by their ecology, forged by mass extinctions and honed by natural selection to near-perfection. Finally, the epic story of their role in the tapestry of life can be told. 'In a book that brilliantly evokes past eras, Howard provides a new perspective on the history of life on Earth.' The Mail on Sunday

An electrifying new vision of motherhood from the author of A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings - 'ASTONISHING' (Sunday Times) When Helen Jukes falls pregnant, she does what anyone else would do. She searches for information to help make sense of the changes underway inside her. But as the months pass and her body becomes increasingly strange, the pregnancy guides seem insufficient; even the advice of her friends feels oppressive. So she widens her frame of reference, looking beyond humans to ask what motherhood looks like in other species. Here she begins a process of wilder enquiry, in which stories of spiders, polar bears, bonobos and burying beetles (among others) begin to unsettle and expand her notion of what mothering is; what it could be. A passionate, visceral and intimate account of a body changed, Mother Animal combines personal memoir with fresh insights from evolutionary biology, zoology and toxicology to ask the big questions that lie at the heart of what it means to be alive – and a mother – today. __ 'Magnificent' Lucy Jones, author of Matrescence 'Joyful and expansive'Guardian 'Blows societal ideas about parenthood wide open.'

'A copy should be on every desk not just in the Home Office, but throughout government. A brilliant and hugely timely book.' Caroline Lucas, author of Another England What is it like to arrive on our shores with nothing and be pushed to the margins of society? Who stands to gain from an asylum system that is intentionally hostile? Anywhere But Here is a powerful exposé of Britain's broken asylum system and how it fails us all. Each year tens of thousands of people risk their lives to cross the Channel in small boats hoping to find safety in Britain. Yet the very system designed to protect them has all but collapsed. With unique and unparalleled access, award-winning journalist and former Home Office insider Nicola Kelly takes us behind the scenes of the small boats crisis for the first time. We follow the under-resourced coastguard overseeing search and rescue operations in the Channel. The decision-makers hired from McDonald's and Aldi to conduct 'life and death' asylum interviews. The immigration barristers securing last-minute reprieves for deportees who narrowly escaped death. And we step inside the Home Office corridors as ministers and advisors respond to emerging crises and scandals, from Windrush to the Rwanda plan. At its heart are the stories of war-torn arrivals, lone teenagers and trafficked women attempting to settle in cities, towns and villages across the UK. We travel to meet them, exploring where they have fled from and why, and the response of local communities to their new neighbours. Situated on the beaches and the ports, in the hotels, the courtrooms and the detention centres where the futures of those affected unfold, this is a searing investigation into one of the most urgent issues and shocking injustices of our time

Yet the 'solution' cannot possibly lie in self-care, yoga retreats or the odd massage when this bone-numbing fatigue is a symptom of a desperately unhealthy society. We cannot simply 'fix ourselves' under a system that demands and takes so much of us. What is needed is a complete reimagining that puts a thriving life of abundance first and foremost. Through a Black Feminist, abolitionist and nature-allied lens, Evie Muir takes us on a journey of regeneration that reimagines what a world of true rest – radical rest – would look like, how that would feel. As they look to activists and cultural influences past and present for guidance, Evie explores the core emotions associated with burnout: moving from rage, grief and anxiety to the hope, joy and plenty that deep change can bring. Along the way, Evie speaks with those who have been disproportionately impacted by, and working in resistance to, burnout – Black, queer, disabled activists of colour. And what becomes clear as we hear about these lived experiences is that a world of radical rest must exist in community – with one another, with our bodies, and with the natural world. Bold, vulnerable and deeply honest, Radical Rest is a blueprint for change and a salve for the soul. Step in and open the door to a hopeful and healed future. 'An essential read that gets to the root of burnout and how to truly navigate life with intention, gratitude and a deep commitment to self and community.' Leah Thomas, author of The Intersectional Environmentalist 'Open the door to a hopeful and healed future with Radical Rest: a salve for burnt out souls.' Minna Salami, author of Sensuous Knowledge

'A beautiful beacon lighting the way... A gorgeous guide to embodying kindness.' Suzy Reading, author of Self-care for Tough Times 'Extraordinary … I loved it. It was the ray of sunshine I didn't know I needed'The Sun Overwhelmed by the constant flow of bad news, Bernadette Russell felt trapped, desperate for something to change. Then, a chance encounter sparked a question that would transform her life. What if one small act of kindness, every single day for a year, could ignite a light in the darkness? In Conversations on Kindness, Bernadette embarks on an extraordinary 366-day journey. From moments of unexpected joy and surprise to the times when her well-intentioned kind acts demand much more than she'd bargained for, this is a story of discovery and profound connection. Along the way, Bernadette explores the deeper possibilities of kindness. In conversations with scientists, artists, activists and academics, it becomes clear that kindness is a powerful driver for healing, understanding and significant positive change – especially when life feels at its hardest. Conversations on Kindness is a warm, often funny, heartfelt immersion in the power of kindness to bring us back to ourselves, to each other and to change the world.

A PRESTO BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 'From palaces to warzones, John Suchet goes on a Beethoven odyssey' The Daily Telegraph 'This personal account of his life-long passion has an appealing light touch' Financial Times Best Books of the Year 'This is a wonderful tale of self-realisation, of what we can gain from turning to genius in life's many crises.' Norman Lebrecht, author of Why Beethoven From the bestselling author of Beethoven: The Man Revealed, In Search of Beethoven is John Suchet's latest and most personal book dedicated to the life of this extraordinary composer. Part biography, part memoir, part travelogue, Suchet draws on his own life and career as a foreign correspondent and news anchor to show how Beethoven's music has accompanied him through the best and worst of times. It was with him as a music-loving and adventurous teenager, as a journalist entering Beirut in the grip of civil war, and as he has continued to explore the old cities of Bonn and Vienna, in search of the man behind the music. In this novel and compelling book, we see Beethoven brought vividly – and sometimes painfully – to life. Suchet traces Beethoven's footsteps from his early years in Bonn to his dying days in Vienna, taking us on a journey both literal and symbolic, as he uses his own experience as a Beethoven aficionado to demonstrate the life-changing power of great music. 'This is a comprehensive yet accessible history of Beethoven wrapped up in an inviting, immersive tale of adventure and discovery, delivered in an inviting, engaging and endearing way typical of this master storyteller.' Debbie Wiseman OBE, composer and conductor
