2 Good As You From Prejudice to Pride – 30 Years of Gay Britain Paul Flynn

From 'Smalltown Boy' to same-sex marriage, this is the definitive pop-cultural history of British gay men

‘One of the most important books about gay culture in recent times’ The Quietus

In 1984 the pulsing electronics and soft vocals of Smalltown Boy would become an anthem uniting gay men. A month later, an aggressive virus, HIV, would be identified and a climate of panic and fear would spread across the nation, marginalising an already ostracised community. Yet, out of this terror would come tenderness and 30 years later, the long road to gay equality would climax with the passing of same sex marriage.

Paul Flynn charts this astonishing pop cultural and societal U-turn via the cultural milestones that effected change—from Manchester’s self- selection as Britain’s gay capital to the real-time romance of Elton John and David Furnish’s eventual marriage. Including candid interviews from major protagonists, such as Kylie, Russell T Davies, Will Young, Holly Johnson and Lord Chris Smith, as well as the relative unknowns crucial to the gay community, we see how an unlikely group of bedfellows fought for equality both front of stage and in the wings.

This is the story of Britain’s brothers, cousins and sons. Sometimes it is the story of their fathers and husbands. It is one of public outrage and personal loss, the (not always legal) highs and the desperate lows, and the final collective victory as gay men were final recognised, July 2018 as Good As You. 9781785032936 £8.99 : Paperback Paul Flynn has worked as a journalist for the last 24 years. He began 320 pages writing at City Life magazine in Manchester and is currently the Senior Contributing Editor at Love and a columnist for Attitude and Grazia. He has previously been a contributing editor and writer at i-D, Pop, Dazed, Fantastic Man, The Gentlewoman and GQ Style and has written for the Guardian and Observer, Sunday Express and the Sunday Times newspapers.

3 How to Be an Overnight Success Maria Hatzistefanis

The hugely successful entrepreneur and founder of the Rodial skincare range gives practical and hard-won advice on how to kick start your career and help you be the best you can be in business

"You are not born an entrepreneur. It's a skill that you learn along the way."

When the skincare company Rodial launched its cult 'snake' serum, the press quickly called the business an 'overnight success'. However, Rodial's founder Maria Hatzistefanis had been toiling for 18 years, building the company from scratch in her bedroom. Now, the beauty boss sets out to demonstrate in this very accessible book that its success stemmed from sheer hard work, tireless efforts and a lot of patience.

Fashion-loving Maria set out with a dream to build a beauty business and - despite not excelling at school, and being fired from her first job - she has achieved it. She did it by dreaming big, working hard, surrounding herself with the best, taking risks, creating buzz and building her own personal brand, which is now a favourite with high- profile models and media personalities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and Kylie Jenner.

Crucially, she believes anyone can do this and her book, brimming with good sense, great advice, tips and secrets - all presented in an easy, friendly style - shows how.

London-based beauty entrepreneur, Maria Hatzistefanis started her career as a beauty writer before moving to New York where she received an MBA from Columbia Business School. She founded her ground-breaking skincare group, Rodial, in 1999 by identifying a niche for treatments targeted to specific skin concerns, with evocative tongue-in-cheek names such as Snake Serum and Dragon’s Blood. July 2018 Maria now runs two brands – Rodial and Nip + Fab – with products 9781529102666 £8.99 : Paperback selling through 20,000 doors across 35 countries worldwide.

4 The Man and His Bike Wilfried de Jong

An award-winning collection of cycling tales that get to the poetic core of the sport like no other book.

‘One of the most entertaining sports books I have ever read’ Joe Short, The Daily Express

In this award-winning collection of cycling tales, Wilfried de Jong uncovers the true soul of cycling – why we do it, why we watch it, why we hate it, why we love it – stripped bare.

With his distinctly comic and melancholic charm Wilfried ponders life, love and death on his trusted bike, chasing the essence of our existence against the backdrop of major cycling events or while roaming alone in nature.

Whether he is describing being ejected from Paris-Roubaix, a terminal incident with a bird while out riding, or explaining why he is standing stark naked on Belgian cobbles with a tyre in his hand, Wilfried unlocks a sport that involves so much pain, punishment, and a high probability of failure, but that will always liberate and inspire us.

Wilfried de Jong is a well-known and highly regarded broadcaster, journalist and writer in his native Holland. A familiar face on Dutch TV, he has made a number of award-winning sports documentaries. In 2012 he won the Nico Scheepmaker Award for the best sports book of the year for Head in the Wind, which went on to be a bestseller in Holland. In 2015 his collection of cycling columns Solo was nominated for the Dutch Sports Book of the Year. The Man and his Bike combines the very best of De Jong’s stories on cycling in one unique collection.

5 The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man How America really took over the world John Perkins

A breathtaking expose of who really holds the power in America, and how their henchmen have infiltrated every system of government, economics and society today

False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the ‘corporatocracy’ – a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals – to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.

In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.

In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.

John Perkins was formerly Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm where he advised the World Bank, United Nations, the July 2018 IMF, U.S. Treasury Department, Fortune 500 corporations, and 9781785033858 governments in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

19 How to Speak Science Essential Concepts Made Simple Bruce Benamran

Bruce Benamran's international bestseller explains not only what scientists know, but how they know it, how they think, and how we can think for ourselves, too.

Be curious, and take the time to get it.

What is static electricity? How do magnets work? Is light made of waves or particles? What, really, is the theory of relativity all about? And who were those great scientists - from Ptolemy, Archimedes and Copernicus to Descartes, Hume and Newton and many more? Why do we still hear their names today?

Scientist and bestselling author Bruce Benamran reminds us that, in this age of smartphones, artificial intelligence, supercolliders and other cutting-edge technology, we've lost touch with many of the most basic science concepts that launched our information age. And in simple, maths-free explanations, and just-the-good-parts historical recaps he shows us that the landmark science which got us here doesn't have to be beyond our grasp.

For Bruce, science is about stories and characters. Why, for instance, did pirates wear eye patches? That's all to do with how the retina processes light. Pirates running down to the gun deck would have no time to let their eyes get used to the dark, so they kept one eye gun- deck ready.

Be curious, and with Bruce as your guide, you'll learn how to question things, how to be mindful of the scientific wonders that surround our daily lives. Embrace the principles of thermodynamics, electromagnetism, classical mechanics and relativity and you'll see July 2018 the world in a different light. 9780753548806 £12.99 : Trade Paperback Bruce Benamran, programmer by day, physics expert by night, 320 pages launched e-penser, his YouTube channel devoted to explaining advanced science in simple terms, in August 2013.

20 Give People Money The Surprisingly Simple Idea to Solve Inequality and Revolutionise our Lives Annie Lowrey

A brilliant, global look at Universal Basic Income -- a regular payment given to everyone -- and why it might be the answer to persistent poverty and dazzling technology.

Surely just giving people money couldn't work. Or could it?

Imagine if every month the government deposited £1000 in your bank account, with no strings attached and nothing expected in return. It sounds crazy, but Universal Basic Income (UBI) has become one of the most influential policy ideas of our time, backed by thinkers on both the left and the right. The founder of Facebook, Obama's chief economist, governments from Canada to Finland are all seriously debating some form of UBI.

In this sparkling and provocative book, economics writer Annie Lowrey looks at the global UBI movement. She travels to Kenya to see how UBI is lifting the poorest people on earth out of destitution, India to see how inefficient government programs are failing the poor, South Korea to interrogate UBI’s intellectual pedigree, and Silicon Valley to meet the tech titans financing UBI pilots in expectation of a world with advanced artificial intelligence and little need for human labour. She also examines at the challenges the movement faces: contradictory aims, uncomfortable costs, and most powerfully, the entrenched belief that no one should get something for nothing.

The UBI movement is not just an economic policy -- it also calls into question our deepest intuitions about what we owe each other and what activities we should reward and value as a society. July 2018 9780753545775 Annie Lowrey is a contributing editor for The Atlantic, where she covers £12.99 : Trade Paperback economic policy.

22 Messing Up the Paintwork The Wit and Wisdom of Mark E. Smith

A tribute to the late, great frontman of The Fall, featuring his best quotes, most caustic insults, and stories from those who loved him.

‘If it’s me and your granny on bongos, it’s The Fall.’

As legendary frontman of post-punk outfit The Fall, Mark E. Smith was known as much for his mercurial temperament as his exceptional musical talent. Famous for his singular way with words both onstage and off, his road to the music hall of fame was paved with brilliant one-liners, eccentric behaviour, and the dozens of members of The Fall he ejected along the way.

Collecting his wit and wisdom for the first time and featuring an introduction from Stuart Maconie, Messing Up the Paintwork is a tribute to a musical icon described as ‘untouchably cool’ (Lauren Laverne), an ‘uncompromising musical maverick’ (Tim Burgess) and ‘a man shouting from a prison window’ (Frank Skinner). And it’s a book for the fans who will miss him terribly.

24 The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Attacks on The United States Dr Jeffrey Lewis

From the leading nuclear weapons expert, a startling account of how suddenly the world could be propelled into catastrophic conflict.

In January 2018 the world’s Doomsday Clock was moved to ‘two minutes to midnight’, meaning we are officially closer to nuclear annihilation now than ever before.

This book, written by the world’s leading nuclear expert, is a terrifyingly real account of how a coming conflict might well play out. It is 'speculative history', written in the style of The 9/11 Commission Report: pacey, highly readable, and crammed with plausible detail.

Through a series of human errors, communications failures, paranoia and inflammatory tweets from President Trump, military events rapidly escalate. Poor DPRK guards using outmoded radar systems fire on a South Korean passenger plane, triggering a nuclear conflict, and catastrophic attacks on New York and Washington, with the ultimate loss of 2 million lives.

Jeffrey Lewis PhD is a scholar at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, and a research affiliate at the Stanford University Center for Security and International Cooperation. He previously worked at the US Department of Defense, and was director of both the Nuclear Strategy and Nonproliferation Initiative at the New America Foundation and the Managing the Atom Project at the Harvard Kennedy School. A columnist for Foreign Policy, he is the publisher of ArmsControlWonk.com, the leading blog on disarmament, arms control, and nonproliferation. He has written for the New York Times, Atlantic, Daily Beast and the Washington Post. July 2018 9780753553169 £9.99 : Paperback 272 pages

27 Handbook for a Positive Revolution Achieving positive change on a personal or global scale Edward de Bono

The five principles of positive thinking for positive change from Edward de Bono, the father of lateral thinking

Anyone can join the positive revolution. All you need is creativity.

Historically, revolutions have been negative – defining, overthrowing or destroying an enemy, fuelled by a sense of mission and direction. After victory, however, this energy often races on, causing factionalism and strife among the victors. The positive revolution also has energy and direction, but its opponents are entrenched patterns in thought.

Progress, maintains Edward de Bono – whether on a personal or global scale – depends on thinking and behaviour that are positive and constructive. The world today is undergoing dramatic, often violent changes, and human behaviour is frequently shaped by guilt and negativity. To lift this dark cloud and create positive revolution, we need to rely more on humour, a key element in changing perception.

In this inspiring book, Edward de Bono demonstrates clearly and simply how we can learn to think and interact constructively, efficiently and with respect for core human values.

Edward de Bono studied at Christ Church, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar). He also holds a PhD from Cambridge and an MD from the University of Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard.

August 2018 In 1967 de Bono invented the now commonly used term 'lateral 9781785041907 thinking' and, for many thousands, indeed millions, of people £12.99 : Trade Paperback worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new 192 pages thinking. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into 34 languages, and his advice is sought by Nobel laureates and world leaders alike. www.debono.com

30 Gamechanger From YouTube to Wembley Stadium. Bang. Spencer FC

How one man went from gaming and making videos at home to becoming a football club owner

'The bizarre new world of football' Guardian

I lifted the trophy triumphantly over my head, just as I’d seen so many FA Cup, World Cup and Champions League winners do on TV. It was quite simply the best moment of my life. Hashtag United had won.

So, how on earth did this happen? How did a kid who at one point couldn’t even get in his school team end up playing at Wembley Stadium in front of 20,000 people? How did someone who spent his life playing computer games get to play football in the same side as World Cup- and Champions League-winning players?

I'm hardly sure myself. But here's my attempt to tell the story.

Spencer FC has over 1.9 million online subscribers who enjoy his football, gaming and eSports videos. 4-million people watched him play with Champions League and World Cup winners at Wembley Stadium. To-date, he has had over half a billion views on YouTube and is at the forefront of football's new digital world.

48 The Secret Diary of Jeremy Corbyn As Told to Moe Mentum (A Parody) Lucien Young

The spoof secret diary of Jeremy Corbyn as an homage to Diary of a Nobody

You don’t have to be special to be great

Jeremy Corbyn is a committed allotment holder, expert jam maker, dedicated manhole cover inspector… oh, and occasional Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition. When not cycling around his beloved Islington or tending to his courgettes, he spends his time frantically dodging MPs, spin doctors, millennial assistants, and vicious journalists craving his opinion on Brexit. In these tumultuous times, everyone wants a piece of the beardy firebrand, but ‘Jez’ himself seems to prefer living a quiet, middle-class life of veganism and Peruvian poetry. But who is the man behind the corduroy?

The Secret Diary of Jeremy Corbyn offers an unprecedented glimpse into the life of an unlikely hero. Affectionately edited by Moe Mentum, it will plunge readers into a world of dizzying highs, crushing lows, fervent loyalty and bitter treachery – and that’s just the section about the Highbury Pottery Club. The eagle-eyed reader may notice an uncanny resemblance to another acclaimed North London diarist, but nobody knows who. Fans of Pepys, Boswell and Adrian Mole will be moved, amused and astonished by the wit and insight of politics’ greatest outsider: the man, the legend, Jeremy Corbyn.

Lucien Young is a comedy writer who has worked on various TV programmes, including BBC Three's Siblings and Murder in Successville. He was born in Newcastle in 1988 and read English at the University of Cambridge, where he was a member of the world-famous Footlights Club. September 2018 9781785039942 £9.99 : Hardback 192 pages

49 Letters to Change the World Edited by Travis Elborough

A collection of some of the most politically and socially inspiring letters that have helped change the world and the way we see it

Letters that have made, and still can make, the world a better place

In an era where the liberties we often take for granted are under threat, Letters To Change the World is a beautifully produced collection of inspiring letters – some private and some open - that offer reminders from history that standing up for and voicing our personal and political beliefs is a crucial right and a duty if we want to change the world.

From Abraham Lincoln and Emmeline Pankhurst through to Obama and Malala, many are penned by major figures from the world stage, others by ordinary citizens caught up in the stream of history in their pursuit of what’s right.

The letters, each briefly introduced to give its full historical context, cover every modern political and social cause and give a sense of the struggles of the past with the intimate first-hand access that only letters allow.

The collection includes George Orwell’s warning on totalitarianism, Martin Luther King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Albert Camus on the reasons to fight a war, Bertrand Russell on being a conscientious objector, Emmeline Pankhurst rallying her suffragettes, Nelson Mandela’s letters home to his children from prison and Obama’s letter to his daughters on Inauguration.

Described as 'one of Britain's finest pop culture historians' by The Guardian, Travis Elborough has been a freelance writer, author, broadcaster and cultural commentator for nearly two decades, and September 2018 frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Five Live. His books include a 9781785039478 £14.99 : Hardback history of London’s iconic Routemaster bus, The Bus We Loved (2005) and London Bridge in America: The Tall Story of a Transatlantic Crossing 256 pages (2013). A Walk in the Park: The Life and Times of a People’s Institution was published to great acclaim in 2016, with William Boyd declaring it ‘a fascinating, informative, revelatory book’. Our History of the 20th Century: As Told in Diaries, Journals and Letters (2017) was hailedby David Kynaston as ‘a wonderfully curated collection of intimate diary voices: rich in their variousness, compelling in their impact, and cumulatively giving us a fresh and thought-provoking version of twentieth-century Britain’.

57 I Can't Breathe The Killing that Started a Movement Matt Taibbi

The incredible story of the death of Eric Garner, the birth of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and the new faultlines of race, protest, policing and the power of people

The incredible story of the death of Eric Garner, the birth of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and the new fault lines of race, protest, policing and the power of people.

On July 17, 2014, Eric Garner died in New York City after a police officer put him in what has been described as a "chokehold" during an arrest for selling "loosies," or single cigarettes. The final moments of his life were captured on video and seen by millions, sparking an international series of protests that built into the transformative "Black Lives Matter" movement. Weeks after Garner's death, two New York City police officers were killed by a young black man from Maryland, in what he claimed was revenge for Garner's death. Those killings in turn led to police protests, clashes with New York's new liberal mayor, and an eventual work slow-down.

Matt Taibbi, bestselling author and “the best polemic journalist in America” explores the roots and aftermath of Eric Garner’s death and tells a compelling story of the crime, the grand jury, the media circus, the murder of the police, and the protests from every side. The result is a riveting work of literary journalism that breaks new ground and provides a masterful narrative of urban America, the perversion of its policing and a brilliant examination of the racial tensions that threaten to tear it apart.

MATT TAIBBI, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Divide, Griftopia, and The Great Derangement, is a contributing editor for Rolling September 2018 Stone and winner of the 2007 National Magazine Award for Columns 9780753548691 and Commentary. £9.99 : Paperback 304 pages

An enchanting, spectacularly imaginative magical novel set in a mysterious toyshop, perfect for fans of THE NIGHT CIRCUS

The Emporium opens with the first frost of winter. It is the same every year. Across the city, when children wake to see ferns of white stretched across their windows, or walk to school to hear ice crackling underfoot, the whispers begin: the Emporium is open! Christmas is coming, and the goose is getting fat…

It is 1917, and London has spent years in the shadow of the First World War. In the heart of Mayfair, though, there is a place of hope. A place where children’s dreams can come true, where the impossible becomes possible – that place is Papa Jack’s Toy Emporium.

For years Papa Jack has created and sold his famous magical toys: hobby horses, patchwork dogs and bears that seem alive, toy boxes bigger on the inside than out, ‘instant trees’ that sprout from boxes, tin soldiers that can fight battles on their own. Now his sons, Kaspar and Emil, are just old enough to join the family trade. Into this family comes a young Cathy Wray – homeless and vulnerable. The Emporium takes her in, makes her one of its own. But Cathy is about to discover that while all toy shops are places of wonder, only one is truly magical...

65 How to Invent Everything A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveller Ryan North

Rebuild civilization from scratch: first language and numbers, then beer, music and more

Get ready to make history... better.

What would you do if you had a time machine that took you hundreds or thousands of years into the past... and then broke? How would you survive? Could you rebuild civilization faster than it took us the first time? And how hard would it be to domesticate a giant wombat?

In How to Invent Everything, bestselling author and time-travel enthusiast Ryan North answers all these questions so you don't have to. This guide contains all the science, engineering, mathematics, art, music, philosophy, facts, and figures required for even the most clueless stranded time traveler to build a civilization from the ground up. It will be one in which humanity matured quickly and efficiently, instead of spending 200,000 years stumbling around in the dark without language, not knowing that tying a rock to a string would unlock navigating the entire world, and thinking disease was caused by weird smells.

Both fascinating and hilarious, How To Invent Everything is a deeply researched history of the key technologies that made each stage of human civilization possible (from writing and farming to buttons and birth control), but it's as entertaining as a good time-travel novel. It’s a perfect read for fans of Randall Munroe’s What If? and Thing Explainer, zombie apocalypse survivors, web comic lovers and wannabe time travellers everywhere.

66 Imagine It Forward Beth Comstock

Beth Comstock, the former vice chair of GE, and their longtime head of business innovation and change initiatives, tackles the biggest issue in business --how to stay nimble, adapt faster, and constantly evolve in the face of almost daily change and disruption.

In Imagine It Forward, Beth Comstock, the former vice chair of GE, describes her twenty-five year efforts to be an instigator of change at every level of business. When she first moved from NBC to parent company GE in 1998, she was ignored as a woman in a man's world, treated as an outsider because she didn't have a business background, and ignored as a mere PR person. But CEO Jeff Immelt realized even then that the industrial giant, like so many businesses, had to change fast in order to stay relevant in a world where Google, Facebook, and an explosion of internet companies were transforming how goods and services were marketed, made, and sold.

In a deeply personal journey filled with practical takeaways from two plus decades of initiating change at the top levels of one of the largest corporations in the world, Comstock lays out the challenges, opportunities, tools, and practices needed to embrace change, whatever industry you are in, and make it part of every management decision.

BETH COMSTOCK is the former vice chair of GE, where for 25 years she led GE's efforts to accelerate new growth. The chief marketing officer for GE, she operated GE Lighting, GE's Business Innovations, and GE Ventures, which develops new businesses, markets, and service models.

His response was, 'But I did come from something!' So begins an odyssey through the Highlands, Lowlands and the Barrowlands on a shaggy dog quest to find out what that 'something' was and whether it is still there.

Far from a typical travelogue, Billy’s quest is as much through his memories and experiences as it is through his excursions, with a series of key artefacts prompting reminiscences – a first pressing of a Hank Williams album (the first record he ever owned), Landseer’s Monarch of the Glen, a bottle of air that recreates the smell of the old Glasgow Docks – each of which inspire moments of reflection, joy, drama and laughter.

Accompanying a major BBC TV series, Coming Home is Billy Connolly's insightful, moving and very funny account of the stuff that really matters. Family, love, sex, health, football, fishing, work, art, swearing, banjos, friends, going to the pub. And good tea.

71 The Boot Room Boys The Unseen Story of Anfield's Conquering Heroes Peter Hooton

Drawing on new interviews, and 200 never-before-seen images from forgotten archives at the Mirror, Liverpool Post and Echo, famous Reds' fan Peter Hooton tells the story of Anfield’s legendary Boot Room Boys, the teams they built and the Club they took to the top.

Picture this: Saturday afternoons at Anfield, passionate terraces, a sea of red and Liverpool FC rules the world.

The Boot Room story starts in 1959 when Bill Shankly arrived and converted a 12 x 12 storage room into a meeting place for him and his coaches, a move that had momentous consequences, both for the Club and British football.

Fans in the Kop will remember the heart-stopping extra time of the 1965 FA Cup Final, and the jubilation of winning the treble in 1984. But what was the common thread during Liverpool's glory years? It was the Boot Room.

Lifelong Liverpool supporter and editor of legendary fanzine The End, Peter Hooton takes us back into that old storage room, where first Shankly, then Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish in succession, drank tea, analysed, strategized, selected and deselected, and built the most successful British club in Europe in the 20th Century.

Illustrated throughout with powerful never-before-seen images from the Mirror, the Echo and the Liverpool Post, Peter Hooton sheds new light on the story behind Liverpool FC's most exulted era, and celebrates a city flourishing around it. September 2018 9780753552278 Born and raised in Liverpool, Peter Hooton co-founded, edited and £20.00 : Hardback wrote for the legendary Merseyside fanzine The End which featured 256 pages football, music and fashion. John Peel listed it as one of his all-time favourite magazines of the 1980s. Peter then became a songwriter with his group The Farm who went on to have a No 1 album.

Over the years he has had numerous articles published in a variety of magazines and newspapers including the Face, the Observer, the Guardian, the Daily Mirror, Loaded, GQ, the Liverpool Echo and the New European. A lifelong supporter and season ticket holder at Liverpool FC, he wrote for the LFC Matchday magazine during the 1990s and contributed to several books about the club. In 2009 he authored the top-selling Liverpool edition in the When Football Was Football book series.

Peter has also scripted TV programmes, including a Granada TV documentary series about Liverpool’s social/economic and political history, BBC Newsnight (Hillsborough) and BBC This Week (Politics).

Peter has most recently been executive producer of a documentary about Liverpool’s legendary manager Bill Shankly, Nature’s Fire, which has received critical acclaim.

78 She Wants It Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy Jill Soloway

A groundbreaking, moving and hilarious memoir, discussing gender politics, from the celebrated writer and director Jill Soloway, the creator of Transparent.

In Untitled, Jill Soloway takes us on a patriarchy-toppling emotional and professional journey. When Jill's parent came out as transgender, Jill pushed through the male-dominated landscape of Hollywood to create the groundbreaking and award-winning Amazon TV series Transparent. Exploring identity, love, sexuality, and the blurring of boundaries through the dynamics of a complicated and profoundly resonant American family, Transparent gave birth to a new cultural consciousness. While working on the show and exploding mainstream ideas about gender, Jill also began to erase the lines on their own map, coming out as queer and nonbinary. Written with wild candor, urgent rhythms, and razor-edged humour, Untitled charts Jill's intense and revelatory journey.

Jill Soloway is a comedian, playwright, feminist, Emmy-nominated TV writer and award-winning director. She was a writer for Six Feet Under for four seasons, after coming to the attention of Alan Ball when he read her short story ‘Courtney Cox’s Asshole’ (originally written as a joke for a friend). She is also the creator and writer of Transparent, inspired by her father when he came out as transgender. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons.

84 Job’s a Good 'Un Guy Martin

The Grimsby mechanic is back with 10 x 60 TV specials this year, including a series of thrilling and very dangerous challenges, to be broadcast on Channel 4 from early summer into the Autumn. But it's the 70-hour week as a truck fitter that keeps him busy...

There's no point in resting.

This year Guy Martin is restoring and racing a 1983 Williams F1 car; he's attempting the land speed record in Bolivia; he's going for the fastest ever Channel crossing; he's customizing his Ford Transit for record-breaking circuits around Nurburgring, and he's building a Typhoon.

That's exciting - it has to be, otherwise he wouldn't do it. But it's TV stuff. It's not real graft.

Real graft is his 70-hour week mending trucks for a local haulage firm. And between 'proper' jobs, over the summer, he was taytie farming on his new John Deere tractor, working in the fields from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. He was thinking of diversifying into muck-spreading, then the truck-fitting job came up.

Oh yes - and besides the day job and the TV, he's bought his local pub, and the most terrifying he's ever done is sing on stage (out of tune) in front of the Kirmington crowd on New Year's Eve.

Only Guy lives a life like this, and only his stories, in his own words, can do it justice.

Except for one summer spent sleeping inside a truck in a concrete yard in Northern Ireland, Guy Martin has lived within 20 miles of the Grimsby hospital he was born in, on the 4th November 1981. But that October 2018 hasn’t stopped the professional truck mechanic from winning multiple 9780753545454 £20.00 : Hardback international road races, plus scoring fifteen Isle of Man TT podiums. Nor has it prevented him from becoming a regular face on prime-time 320 pages Channel 4, presenting critically acclaimed documentaries and travelogues, as well as his popular returning series Speed with Guy Martin. Did we mention he’s also the author of three phenomenal number-one bestselling memoirs? Not bad for a truck fitter.

88 Dynasty The Rise and Fall of Animal Families Stephen Moss with Foreword by David Attenborough

A groundbreaking exploration of the rise and fall of animal families, accompanying a landmark BBC series from the producer of Planet Earth II, narrated by David Attenborough

Family isn't just important. It's everything.

From lions hunting as a pride to penguins huddling together to keep from freezing in the bitter Antarctic winter, many animals are dependent on complex social relationships for their survival. Powerful dynasties lay claim to vast swathes of territory, fighting off rivals and securing their hunting grounds for generations to come.

Dynasty offers an immersive insight into the shifting hierarchies of animal families. Each chapter follows a different dynasty, from the Marsh Lions of the Masai Mara to rival packs of African hunting dogs, from a tiger protecting her newborn cubs to a chimpanzee troop and the penguin colonies of the Antarctic. Alongside tender moments when bonds are strengthened through grooming and play, the book charts the rivalries that tip the balance of power, when family members turn against each other and younger animals grow strong enough to challenge for control.

With over 200 stunning photographs and insights from the crew of the BBC series, Dynasty reveals in astonishing detail the intricate social lives of our planet’s most fascinating animals.

They’re a beautiful system of patterns and codes, but also an essential tool that can guide our daily decisions, change our behaviour, and even predict the future—if we can just learn how to use them right.

Long before his rise to cult fandom on University Challenge, Bobby Seagull was obsessed with numbers. They were the keys that unlocked of the randomness of football results, helped him organise his time, directed his social life and opened up the world of music. Told through stories from his life, Bobby illuminates the world of numbers and brings his infectious enthusiasm to everything from the mystery of magic numbers, the improbability of probability, the right number of friends to have, and how prime numbers control everything from credit card encryption to cicada hibernation habits.

The Life-Changing Magic of Numbers will fill you with wonder, change how you see the world around you, and help you make better choices and decisions every day.

Bobby Seagull became a cult star as a contestant on University Challenge in 2017. He is now an obsessive quiz enthusiast, secondary school maths teacher, a doctorate student researching maths anxiety at Cambridge University and a long-suffering West Ham fan.

By the time she realised it was wrong, she felt so dirty and ashamed she couldn’t speak out, until it became too much… Grandad’s Girl is the true story of a shameful secret, and the courage it took to speak out and seek justice.

96 Conflicts A better way to resolve them Edward de Bono

How to use lateral thinking to find lasting and satisfying solutions to conflicts with Edward de Bono, the master of creative thinking.

Think, don't fight.

In today’s world we use an out of date thinking system to navigate our way through modern society, especially when it comes to conflicts and disagreements.

Conflicts argues that instead of our age old system of debate we should adopt what de Bono calls a ‘design idiom’ and use lateral thinking to navigate a feud. If two parties think their argument is best, we should be introducing a third party role. De Bono explains how this concept of triangular thinking and map making is the way forward.

By highlighting how the current system holds us back and offering practical alternatives De Bono paves the way for a fundamental shift in conflict resolution.

Edward de Bono studied at Christ Church, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar). He also holds a PhD from Cambridge and an MD from the University of Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard.

In 1967 de Bono invented the now commonly used term 'lateral thinking' and, for many thousands, indeed millions, of people worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into 34 languages, and his advice is sought by Nobel laureates and November 2018 world leaders alike. 9781785041891 £12.99 : Trade Paperback www.debono.com 224 pages

100 What Love Teaches Me Ziauddin Yousafzai

Malala's father's passionate account of his amazing journey, the values that inspired Malala and how love drove him to fight for the rights of girls and women everywhere

The story of the father who inspired the phenomenon

For over twenty years, Ziauddin Yousafsai has been fighting for equality – first for Malala, his daughter – and then for all girls throughout the world living in patriarchal societies. Taught as a young boy in Pakistan to believe that he was inherently better than his sisters, Ziauddin rebelled against inequality at a young age. And when he had a daughter himself he vowed that Malala would have an education, something usually only given to boys, and he founded a school that Malala could attend.

Then in 2012, Malala was shot for standing up to the Taliban by continuing to go to her father's school, and Ziauddin almost lost the very person for whom his fight for equality began.

What Love Teaches Me is Ziauddin’s journey from a stammering boy growing up in a tiny village high in the mountains of Pakistan, through to being an activist for equality and the father of the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and now one of the most influential and inspiring young women on the planet.

Told through intimate portraits of each of Ziauddin’s closest relationships – as a son to a traditional father; as a father to Malala and her brothers, educated and growing up in the West; as a husband to a wife finally learning to read and write; as a brother to five sisters still living in the patriarchy – What Love Teaches Me looks at what it means to love, to have courage and fight for what is inherently right. Personal in its detail and universal in its themes, this is a November 2018 landmark book from the man behind the phenomenon, and shows 9780753552964 £16.99 : Hardback why we must all keep fighting for the rights of girls and women around the world. 240 pages

Ziauddin Yousafzai is the father of Malala, the global activist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. In his own right, Ziauddin is an educator, human rights campaigner and social activist. He hails from Pakistan's Swat Valley where, at great personal risk among grave political violence, he peacefully resisted the Taliban's efforts to shut down schools and kept his own school open. Ziauddin is co-founder of the Malala Fund and serves as the United Nations Special Advisor on Global Education and also the educational attaché to the Pakistani Consulate in Birmingham, UK.
