Leaping from the past into a global present, these exuberant voices offer tips on how to retain one's spine through life's giddiest rollercoaster rides. Blurring the divide between the mundane and the magical, the historical and the imaginary, they point to a new world that might lie within the folds of the old.

The Middle East has long been a region of rival religions, ideologies, nationalisms, and ambitions. All of these conflicts - including the hostilities between Arabs and Israelis, and the violent challenges posed by Iraq's competing sects - are rooted in the region's political inheritance: the arrangements, unities, and divisions imposed by the Allies after the First World War. In "A Peace to End All Peace", David Fromkin reveals how and why the Allies drew lines on an empty map that remade the geography and politics of the Middle East. Focusing on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, when all seemed possible, he delivers in this sweeping and magisterial book the definitive account of this defining time, showing how the choices narrowed and the Middle East began along a road that led to the conflicts and confusion that continue to this day. A new afterword from Fromkin, written for this edition of the book, includes his invaluable, updated assessment of this region of the world today, and on what this history has to teach us.

From one of the most exciting and accessible voices in physics, an eye-opening look into the strange and wonderful world of quantum physics and how it is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. What is the universe made of, and how do we know? For decades, physicists have studied this question, circling the most fundamental yet enigmatic building blocks of our world; descending to a level below even atoms, and into the subatomic, mysterious particles and fields that make up the quantum realm. This astonishing world is the key to understanding the workings of the universe, but it has held its secrets close, and its rules have defied models since scientists first attempted to map its terrain. In How to Build a Universe, celebrated astrophysicist Katie Mack pulls back the curtain on these mysteries, presenting the most cutting-edge picture of what we know about the workings of the universe. Mack takes us through our current, and thrillingly accurate, understanding of how the universe works, based on research in the field; and why, despite this, we may be on the precipice of a monumental breakthrough—one that could shatter everything we thought we knew about the universe and the nature of reality. Rather than presenting physics as an enshrined set of facts, the book foregrounds the process of discovery, detailing the false starts, the conceptual leaps, and the passionate debates that shape scientific knowledge. Taking us to the edge of the map and beyond, How to Build a Universe is a shotgun seat to some of the most mind-bending and exciting developments in physics and cosmology, as the fields themselves undergo a revolution, informed by the smallest and most alluring particles that make up the universe. Katie Mack has written a wildly entertaining and accessible guide to the universe, for readers who want to understand not only the wonders of contemporary physics, but the scientific quest for knowledge itself.

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series 'What is Politics?' Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society. 'Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands.' How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of 'common sense' is actually driven by the ruling classes' needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

A powerful guide to healing anxiety, grief, and loneliness by reconnecting to our breath, our emotions, and each other. In a world overflowing with noise yet starved for genuine connection, more of us than ever live with the quiet conviction that we are alone, unseen, and emotionally malnourished. We scroll through our days with tight chests, sleepless nights, and a sense of dread we’ve been told is permanent. We’re urged to medicate our pain, distract ourselves with screens, and “stay strong” through heartbreaks that go unspoken and unseen. But what if anxiety, loneliness, and grief aren’t life sentences—or signs of a broken mind—but signals from a human heart desperate to heal? Drawing on thirty years of teaching breathwork and working with thousands around the world, Max Strom reveals a radical truth: most of what we call “mental health” is, in fact, emotional and social health—wounds caused not by chemical imbalance but by disconnection, suppression, and abandonment during our darkest moments. Science can mend bones and map the brain, but it cannot heal a broken heart. Only we can do that—through breath, courage, and community. With profound compassion and extraordinary clarity, Together We Heal shows readers how to release the buried emotions that fuel anxiety and panic attacks; how to use simple, powerful breathing techniques now embraced by therapists and psychologists; and how to restore the lost art of caring for one another in times of crisis. You’ll learn why intentional breathwork unlocks stuck memories and grief, why emotional pain lingers for decades when ignored, and why no technique can succeed unless we rebuild what modern society has forgotten: how to show up for each other. Part moving manifesto, part practical guide, this book offers a path out of fear and isolation and toward a life of calm, connection, and belonging. It teaches readers not just how to breathe more freely, but how to live more fully—and how to stand beside one another with strength, grace, and openhearted presence. The world’s heart is broken. This book is the invitation—and the roadmap—to mend it, one breath and one human connection at a time.

Soulmates at first sight, opportunities blossom before them: Martin illuminating the inner world of the brain, and Ann sharing the bounties of her world in travel and tourism - from mountain gorillas in Uganda to hot-air balloon rides in Myanmar, from refugee camps on war-torn borders to the bustling orphanages of Kathmandu. The world is their oyster—until their whirlwind romance is cut short: Martin, the neuroscientist, suffers a stroke. Ann is transformed—at once—from nomadic 'free spirit' to the legs and mouthpiece of her husband, who can no longer walk or speak.
