It’s almost a cliché to say our planet faces existential threats and politics grows more bitterly polarised. Oneworld is proud to be introducing a range of experts who can analyse – brilliantly – the crises we face. In Solved, Andrew Wear gives much-needed hope that our problems have tried-and-tested solutions. As inequality widens across the globe and populism surges, Yanis Varoufakis, Katrina vanden Heuvel, and Arthur and David Brooks debate the fundamental question of our time: Is Capitalism Broken?

Beyond passionate political discussion, we’re publishing books that enlighten and connect. In an astounding memoir, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, mother of Britain’s (and perhaps the world’s) most musical family, celebrates familial bonds and the scales of human creativity. From remote observatories, in company with the occasional marauding bear, Emily Levesque aims for the stars and turns her telescope on the lives of fellow astronomers. Back to the Classics, Emma Southon takes us on a crime scene investigation of ancient Rome, and Philip Womack will help you teach Greek Myths to your dog. Finally, the greatest unsolved mystery of the French Resistance and its involvement with British intelligence is brought to life by the careful detective work of Patrick Marnham.

Our list embraces the power of books to inform and delight, and maybe even bridge some of the divides between us.
