On board is Lizzie Burns, a poor worker from the Irish slums, who is embarking on the journey that will change her forever. Sitting in the first-class carriage beside her lover, the wealthy mill-owner Frederick Engels, the vision of a life of peace and comfort takes shape before her eyes: finally, at nearly fifty, she is to be the lady of a house and the wife to a man. Perhaps now she can put the difficulties of the past behind her, and be happy? In Gavin McCrea's stunning debut novel, we follow Lizzie as the promise of an easy existence in the capital slips from her view, and as she gains, in its place, a profound understanding of herself and of the world. While Frederick and his friend Karl Marx try to spur revolution among the working classes, Lizzie is compelled to undertake a revolution of another kind: of the heart and the soul. Haunted by her first love; burdened by a sense of duty to right past mistakes; and torn between a desire for independence and the pragmatic need to be taken care of, Lizzie learns, as she says, that 'the world doesn't happen how you think it will. The secret is to soften to it, and to take its blows.'

Oliver with an introduction by Katherine Duncan-Jones The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare William $26.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin Classics 240pp 24 June 2015 9780141396545 Carton Qty: 1 'Thou call'dst me dog before thou hadst a cause, But since I am a dog, beware my fangs' Antonio, a Venetian merchant, wishes to help his friend get money to impress a rich heiress. But he is forced to borrow the sum from a cynical, abused Jewish moneylender, Shylock, and signs a chilling contract to honour the debt with a pound of his own flesh. An ambiguous, complex and controversial comedy, The Merchant of Venice explores prejudice, marriage, money and the true nature of justice in an unforgiving world. Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare William $24.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin Classics 320pp 24 June 2015 9780141396477 Carton Qty: 1 'Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!' Set in a city torn apart by feuds and gang warfare, Shakespeare's immortal drama tells the story of starcrossed lovers, rival dynasties and bloody revenge. Romeo and Juliet is a hymn to youth and the thrill of forbidden love, charged with sexual passion and violence, but also a warning of death: a dazzling combination of bawdy comedy and high tragedy. The Winter's Tale Shakespeare William $26.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin Classics 288pp 24 June 2015 9780141396569 Carton Qty: 1 'I doubt not then but innocence shall make False accusation blush, and tyranny Tremble at patience' A jealous King, convinced that his wife has been unfaithful and is having another man's baby, imprisons her and puts her on trial. The child is abandoned to die, but when she is found and raised by a shepherd, it seems redemption may be possible. A bravura blend of tragedy, comedy and romance, Shakespeare's emotionally potent late play explores artifice and nature, mortality and renewal, and the destructive and consoling effects of time. Selected Prose Donne John $21.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin Classics 400pp 24 June 2015 9780141396712 Carton Qty: 1 'Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee' John Donne was not only a poet but a preacher and prose writer of dynamic wit and dazzling intellect. This selection of the best of his prose works, including his sermons, displays all the verbal dexterity, fascination with paradox and love of argument that characterizes his verse. In Biathanatos he questions whether suicide can ever be justified, while in Devotions, his moving account of his near-fatal illness, he expresses a dual vision of secular doubts and religious reassurance. Exploring the unresolved tension between the spiritual and the earthly, these pieces enlarge our image of Donne and his intellectual world.

Raised in Auckland by a solo mother, he had a modest upbringing typical of the time, if one chequered with difficulties. After being expelled from two schools, Lance could have gone off the rails.

After a brief but outstanding career working as a GP in the public health system, Lance and his wife Tracy quit their day jobs to set up a ground-breaking practice in the Far North that offers free healthcare to the many who can't afford it. For his work, Lance has been acknowledged as a Sir Peter Blake Emerging Leader, Public Health Champion, Maori of the Year and, most recently, Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year. Passionate, brave and free-thinking, Lance stood up when no one else would. The Good Doctor charts his inspirational, one-of-a-kind life story, while relaying an overarching hope for a better New Zealand.

He needed a mission. He was going to walk around New Zealand. Brando reached Cape Reinga on 23 August 2014 after a gruelling journey of almost 8000 kilometres, traversed completely on foot over more than 600 days – the first time it had been done. It was an outlandish odyssey of physical and mental fortitude. He slept under the stars and lived off the land. He almost drowned on several occasions and experienced near-hypothermia. He gained 20 kilograms. But the transformation run much deeper. As much for fans of Bear Grylls or Cheryl Strayed's Wild as it is for those of the off-the-grid outdoors Kiwi experience, Wildboy is a ripping adventure story with an inspiring life change at its heart.

There's nothing quite like messing about on four wheels. In fact, there's no better way to contemplate the madness of the world than from the driver's seat of something which is zooming by very fast indeed. Or so Jeremy Clarkson believes. For he's been pondering some really rather important matters, such as why: God has a streak of German perfectionism crab spread beats Heston Blumenthal's rhubarb mousse Monaco's billionaires are ruining the Grand Prix the back of a dog tastes nicer than marzipan Hurtling around the world in a ton of hot metal Jeremy finds that the meaning of life is nearly within reach if you've got a full tank, your foot to the floor and the open road ahead of you.

The Seven Good Years Keret Etgar $35.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Scribe Publications 192pp 24 June 2015 9781925106435 Carton Qty: 1 A brilliant, hilarious memoir from a master storyteller. The seven years between the birth of Etgar Keret's son, Lev, and the death of his father were good years, but still full of reasons to worry. Lev was born in the middle of a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. Etgar's father became sick. And Etgar has been constantly tormented by nightmarish visions of the former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, anti-Semitic remarks both real and imagined, and, perhaps most worrisome of all, a dogged telemarketer who seems likely to chase him to the grave. Emerging from these darkly absurd circumstances is a series of funny, touching ruminations on everything from his three-year-old son's impending military service to the terrorist mindset behind Angry Birds. The Seven Good Years is a tender and entertaining tale of a father bringing up his son in a country beset by wars and alarms. Told in Etgar's inimitable style, this wise, witty memoir is full of wonder and love, poignant insights, and irrepressible humour. Moving deftly between the personal and the political, the playful and the profound, it reveals the human need to find good in the least likely places, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our capricious world. Move UP: Why some cultures advance while others don't Rapaille Clotaire & Roemer Andres $48.00 (B Fmt H/B 206x133mm) Allen Lane 352pp 24 June 2015 9780241186992 Carton Qty: 1 As the age old proverb goes, 'Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive. But what they hide is vital.' Move UP uncovers what has until now been conservatively hidden, revealing the real, surprising biological, social and psychological reasons why some cultures do well and some don't. Forget everything you thought you knew. As Rapaille and Roemer show, it's not about GDP or average income. With their pioneering R2 index, they evaluate 72 countries and offer a new way of understanding upward mobility. They demonstrate that our reptilian brain is most dominant. They make the case for letting our more basic instincts influence high-level decision-making. They promote fundamental biological differences between genders, entrepreneurship, sex and investment in the arts. The result shows how we can determine which countries evaluated are moving UP, which just aren't, and which we should be a part of. This is not an academic text. It's not about the financial development of countries. It's about the reasons behind why Switzerland and Canada are getting it right while Pakistan and Bangladesh are getting it very wrong. It's a book for the curious, and anyone who sees the world differently. By reading this you're already taking steps to moving UP! No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the Surveillance State Greenwald Glenn $30.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin (General Uk) 256pp 24 June 2015 9780241968987 Carton Qty: 1 On December 1 2012 an email landed in the inbox of journalist Glenn Greenwald. This led him to a hotel in Hong Kong and a clandestine meeting with NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who held thumbdrives detailing the colossal scale of illegal American and British spying activities - the most widespread abuse of power ever seen. This is the story of those early secret meetings, the fear of discovery and arrest, the flight from Hong Kong to Russia, the desperate attempts by the NSA and its stooges to discredit the pair, the battle to shield the truth from a barrage of lies, and at the centre of it all two men exposing the enormity of the US and UK governments' betrayal of their citizens. No Place to Hide is the story at the heart of the most crucial question of the century: do we have a fundamental human right to privacy? Towards the Flame: Empire, War and the End of Tsarist Russia Lieven Dominic $65.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Allen Lane 448pp 24 June 2015 9781846143816 Carton Qty: 1 As much as anything, World War I turned on the fate of Ukraine . . . ' The decision to go to war in 1914 had catastrophic consequences for Russia. The result was revolution, civil war and famine in 1917-20, followed by decades of Communist rule. Dominic Lieven's powerful and original new book, based on exhaustive and unprecedented study in Russian and many other foreign archives, explains why this suicidal decision was made and explores the world of the men who made it, thereby consigning their entire class to death or exile and making their country the victim of a uniquely terrible political experiment under Lenin and Stalin. But Towards the Flame is about far more than Russia. By looking at the origins and results of the First World War from a mostly Russian angle it offers a radically different view of why Europe descended into disaster. Dominic Lieven's interpretation of Europe's great war and Russia's revolution will overturn assumptions about events that still have major implications for world history down to the present day. The End of Plenty: the race to feed a crowded world Bourne Joel $40.00 (Royal P/B 234x147/153mm) Scribe Publications 400pp 24 June 2015 9781925106565 Carton Qty: 1 Introducing a new generation of farmers and scientists on the frontlines of the next green revolution. When Malthus famously outlined the brutal relationship between food and population, he never imagined the success of modern agriculture. New seeds, chemicals and irrigation, coupled with free trade, drove the greatest global population boom in history — but left ecological devastation and an unsustainable agro-economic status quo in their wake. Now, with a greater number of mouths to feed than ever before, tightening global food supplies have spurred riots and reform around the world. Joel K. Bourne Jr. takes readers from his family farm to international agricultural hotspots, searching for new solutions that can sustainably feed us all. He visits young corporate farmers trying to restore Ukraine as Europe's breadbasket, a Canadian aquaculturist channelling ancient Chinese traditions, the agronomist behind the world's largest organic sugar-cane plantation, and many other people and groups, large and small, who are racing to stave off a Malthusian catastrophe. Part history, part reportage, part advocacy, The End of Plenty is a wake-up call for anyone concerned with what the coming decades will hold for our planet and its inhabitants if we don't take action.

The young man is starving and hypothermic, and the German 10th Army stands between him and freedom. Years later, 95-year-old Busst – the unlikely survivor – can still recall his wartime experiences in the Royal Australian Engineers in incredible detail, from the sound of a strafing Messerschmitt to the appalling vision of his two mates blown apart by a high-calibre bomb. Busst's odyssey took him through the dark days of the Battle of Britain and fighting in the Western Desert. Captured near Tobruk during a daring night mission ahead of the German advance into Libya, he was sent to the prison camps of Italy and eventually to the dreaded Campo 57. Subjected to appalling conditions, Busst – known as 'Mad Bugger' – became obsessed with one objective: escape. This is a thriller set amid the great battlefields and prison camps of the Second World War. Tom Trumble brings to life one man's extraordinary story of high adventure, courage, resilience and, above all, mateship.

After the Blast: An Australian officer in Iraq and Afghanistan Callender Garth $37.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Black Inc 256pp 24 June 2015 9781863957380 Carton Qty: 1 A very Australian story of heroism and healing. In 2004 Garth Callender, a junior cavalry officer, was deployed to Iraq. He quickly found his feet leading convoys of armoured vehicles through the streets of Baghdad and into the desert beyond. But one morning his crew was targeted in a roadside bomb attack. Garth became Australia's first serious casualty in the war. After recovering from his injuries, Garth returned to Iraq in 2006 as second-in-command of the Australian Army's security detachment in Baghdad. He found a city in the grip of a rising insurgency. His unit had to contend with missile attacks, suicide bombers, and the death by misadventure of one of their own, Private Jake Kovco. In 2009, Garth volunteered once more – to lead a weapons intelligence team in Afghanistan. He was helicoptered to blast zones in the aftermath of attacks, and worked to identify the insurgent bombmakers responsible. There are few intimate, vivid accounts of Australians at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is a book written by a soldier in his own voice, capturing the pivotal experiences of service in the Australian Army. Revealing, moving, funny and full of drama, Garth Callender's story is one of a kind. Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man Sebag-Montefiore Hugh $30.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin (General Uk) 720pp 24 June 2015 9780241972267 Carton Qty: 1 Special 75th Anniversary edition reveals for the first time five unabridged personal accounts describing what it was really like in the front line in and around Dunkirk. Rescuing the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk was not just about what happened at sea and on the beaches . . . At the end of May 1940, the German panzer divisions, which had bludgeoned their way through France, halted at the canal line south of Dunkirk. Three days later they advanced again intending to encircle and capture half a million soldiers, many of them British. They would have succeeded had it not been for the heroic British soldiers who stood in their path. Their job was to shield the corridor down which the rest of the Army was retreating to Dunkirk; they were not to give way until they had fired their last bullets. They were to fight to the last man. The Dead and Those About to Die: D-Day: The Big Red One at Omaha Beach McManus John C $30.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Nal 384pp 24 June 2015 9780451415301 Carton Qty: 36 A white-knuckle account of the 1st Infantry Division's harrowing D-Day assault on the eastern sector of Omaha Beach—acclaimed historian John C. McManus has written a gripping history that will stand as the last word on this titanic battle. Nicknamed the Big Red One, 1st Division had fought from North Africa to Sicily, earning a reputation as stalwart warriors on the front lines and rabble-rousers in the rear. Yet on D-Day, these jaded combat veterans melded with fresh-faced replacements to accomplish one of the most challenging and deadly missions ever. As the men hit the beach, their equipment destroyed or washed away, soldiers cut down by the dozens, courageous heroes emerged: men such as Sergeant Raymond Strojny, who grabbed a bazooka and engaged in a death duel with a fortified German antitank gun; T/5 Joe Pinder, a former minor-league pitcher who braved enemy fire to save a vital radio; Lieutenant John Spalding, a former sportswriter, and Sergeant Phil Streczyk, a truck driver, who together demolished a German strong point overlooking Easy Red, where hundreds of Americans had landed. Along the way, McManus explores the Gap Assault Team engineers who dealt with the extensive mines and obstacles, suffering nearly a fifty percent casualty rate; highlights officers such as Brigadier General Willard Wyman and Colonel George Taylor, who led the way to victory; and punctures scores of myths surrounding this long-misunderstood battle. The Dead and Those About to Die draws on a rich array of new or recently unearthed sources, including interviews with veterans. The result is history at its finest, the unforgettable story of the Big Red One's nineteen hours of hell—and their ultimate triumph—on June 6, 1944. The Western Front Diaries: the Anzacs' own story, battle by battle [revised edition] King Jonathan $48.00 (Royal P/B 234x147/153mm) Scribe Publications 640pp 24 June 2015 9781925106695 Carton Qty: 1 A special 100th-anniversary edition. Long overshadowed by the national obsession with the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign, the breathtaking story of what really happened on the Western Front has finally been brought into the bright light of day. The ANZACs' Western Front campaign had a greater impact than Gallipoli in almost every respect: five times more soldiers served and were killed there, more than five times as many battles took place — and it was there that an astounding 53 Victoria crosses were awarded to Australians. The diggers serving on the Western Front also helped win the war, but it was at an almost unfathomable cost. Using hundreds of brutally honest and extraordinary eyewitness accounts, The Western Front Diaries reproduces private diaries, letters, postcards, and photographs to reveal what it was really like at the Front, battle by bloody battle. Straight from the mouths of the men who fought there, it doesn't get more honest, raw, or heartbreaking than this.

Maria Goodavage renders a gritty account of a new kind of warfare with a new kind of war hero – Lucca K458 – a decorated and highly skilled working dog hunting for lethal threats in the cauldron of war. While the military classes its dogs as equipment, for those who know her and work with her, the German shepherd-Belgian Malinois mix with the expressive eyebrows is a real best friend on the battlefield. Lucca is partnered with Marine Staff Sergeant Chris Willingham, and their harrowing adventures in Iraq take us into rooftop firefights and IED-infested streets, and face-to-face with insurgents. Next Lucca is assigned to Marine Corporal Juan 'Rod' Rodriguez and they face new threats and challenges during their deployment to Afghanistan, where they serve alongside both Special Forces and regular infantry. Goodavage reveals the deep bond between military working dogs and their handlers, a connection that saves lives. The moving relationship Lucca developed with her handlers, her outstanding skills, and her exceptional character are the stuff of military legend.

Drawing on a wealth of evidence from his military career and sources as diverse as hospital emergency rooms and NASA's space program, McChrystal frames the existential challenge facing today's organizations, and presents a compelling, effective solution.

The Bakehouse Project Marcou Helen, McLean Quincy $55.00 (Miscell H/B) Schwartz 128pp 24 June 2015 9781863957403 Carton Qty: 1 The Bakehouse Project is a full-colour presentation hardcover celebrating a year at Bakehouse – a unique blend of music, art and photography. Bakehouse Studios in Hoddle Street, Richmond, has long been considered a Melbourne landmark and industry destination, with around 400 musicians passing through every week. Bakehouse is a secret hideout where international rock royalty hang out with Melbourne's local bands. Elvis Costello called the studios 'some of the best rooms in the world'. On any sunny day in the jungle-like courtyard you could run into the likes of Nick Cave & Bad Seeds, Beck, Gotye, The Drones, Dan Sultan, Kimbra, Missy Higgins, Spiderbait, Paul Kelly, Vance Joy … or maybe rub shoulders with a superstar in the making. In November 2013, as a tribute to Lou Reed, Bakehouse displayed a giant rock poster on the side of their iconic studios. The overwhelmingly positive reception inspired owners Helen Marcou and Quincy McLean to make the wall a permanent exhibition space, viewed by up to one million motorists on Australia's busiest road every week. In addition, visual artists have created installations in eight of the rehearsal rooms. This is a world-first project where the art inspires and connects musicians in a working studio, outside of the regular confines of a gallery. Artists such as Patricia Piccinini, Mick Turner, Peter Milne, and The Hotham Street Ladies have completely transformed these rehearsal spaces. A crumbling wall is transformed by paint and sugar into an exquisite trompe l'oeil, stuffed deer and birds peer out of sinister cabinets draped with black velvet, gold-painted glam rock figures adorn walls and glimmering geometrical shapes fuse heavy metal with jewellery. This is an art book like no other - it lives, breathes and rocks.

Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works.

And scientists are only just discovering quite how much it has to offer; new research shows that gut bacteria can play a role in everything from obesity and allergies to Alzheimer's. Beginning with the personal experience of illness that inspired her research, and going on to explain everything from the basics of nutrient absorption to the latest science linking bowel bacteria with depression, Enders has written an entertaining, informative health handbook. Gut definitely shows that we can all benefit from getting to know the wondrous world of our inner workings. In this charming book, young scientist Giulia Enders takes us on a fascinating tour of our insides. Her message is simple — if we treat our gut well, it will treat us well in return. But how do we do that? And why do we need to? Find out in this surprising, and surprisingly funny, exploration of the least understood of our organs. The Secret Female Hormone: How Testosterone Replacement Can Change Your Life Maupin, Kathy C. and Newcomb, Brett $30.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Hay House 320pp 24 June 2015 9781401943004 Carton Qty: 1 You know the experiences all too well. You can't sleep, so you start your day feeling exhausted. Seemingly overnight, you can't remember names, places, appointments—things you could previously recite at the drop of a hat. You want to be more active, but you have zero energy for that. And sex? Forget it! By now, you've probably been told this is 'normal,' or that it's the 'natural' course of aging. And you might even believe it, because so many women approaching midlife have the exact same symptoms. In fact, millions of women worldwide are undiagnosed and untreated for hormone deficiency. As a leading expert on hormonal balance—and as a woman who experienced these symptoms herself— Dr. Kathy Maupin has identified a debilitating and overlooked health condition: testosterone deficiency syndrome, or TDS. Most people associate testosterone with men, but it's one of the most vital hormones in women, and one of the first hormones that women begin to lose as they enter their 40s. And Dr. Maupin's own research has shown that the symptoms of aging—fatigue, memory loss, moodiness, low libido, and so much more—are initiated and accelerated by testosterone loss. Here, Dr. Maupin and therapist Brett Newcomb show how testosterone replacement can radically improve your life. They share the history and background of hormone replacement therapy, the latest research on treatment options, as well as: • Tips for dealing with mood swings, changes in sex drive, and maintaining healthy relationships • Surprising information on the long-term effects and health risks of testosterone loss • Common myths and misconceptions regarding estrogen and testosterone replacement therapy • Questionnaires to help you determine your individual hormone deficiencies • Real stories and personal experiences Dr. Maupin's patients share Clear, practical, and easy-to-use, this authoritative guide sheds light on the importance of testosterone and will help you reclaim your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Future-Proofing Your Child: give your child the tools they need to become emotionally intelligent adults Walker Kathy $37.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Viking 256pp 24 June 2015 9780670076277 Carton Qty: 1 By the time children are 15, 16, 18, 21, it's too late to start disciplining them and trying to shape them into the human beings you want them to be. And you can't always be at their side helping them make the right decisions. This book tells parents, in very practical terms, what they need to do from birth to 12 to ensure their children are equipped to deal with the future. Kathy Walker has a thriving private practice and sees parents making the same mistakes over and over again. Her concern is that we are so intensely involved in keeping our children happy in the present that we are not considering what this means for our children's emotional states in the future. Her argument is that children need boundaries, discipline and good role models so that they in turn can develop the necessary qualities to deal with life – especially the challenges of life as a young adult: drugs, drink driving, relationships . . . A Disease Called Childhood: Why ADHD Became an American Epidemic Wedge Marilyn $48.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Avery 272pp 24 June 2015 9781583335635 Carton Qty: 1 A surprising new look at the rise of ADHD in America, arguing for a better paradigm for diagnosing and treating our children. In 1987, only 3 percent of American children were diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. By 2000, that number jumped to 7 percent, and in 2014 the number rose to an alarming 11 percent. To combat the disorder, two thirds of these children, some as young as three years old, are prescribed powerful stimulant drugs like Ritalin and Adderall to help them cope with symptoms. Meanwhile, ADHD rates have remained relatively low in other countries such as France, Finland, and the United Kingdom, and Japan, where the number of children diagnosed with and medicated for ADHD is a measly 1 percent or less. Alarmed by this trend, family therapist Marilyn Wedge set out to understand how ADHD became an American epidemic. If ADHD were a true biological disorder of the brain, why was the rate of diagnosis so much higher in America than it was abroad? Was a child's inattention or hyperactivity indicative of a genetic defect, or was it merely the expression of normal behavior or a reaction to stress? Most important, were there alternative treatments that could help children thrive without resorting to powerful prescription drugs? In an effort to answer these questions, Wedge published an article in Psychology Today entitled 'Why French Kids Don't Have ADHD' in which she argued that different approaches to therapy, parenting, diet, and education may explain why rates of ADHD are so much lower in other countries. In A Disease Called Childhood, Wedge examines how myriad factors have come together, resulting in a generation addictied to stimulant drugs, and a medical system that encourages diagnosis instead of seeking other solutions. Writing with empathy and dogged determination to help parents and children struggling with an ADHD diagnosis, Wedge draws on her decades of experience, as well as up-to-date research, to offer a new perspective on ADHD. Instead of focusing only on treating symptoms, she looks at the various potential causes of hyperactivity and inattention in children and examines behavioral and environmental, as opposed to strictly biological, treatments that have been proven to help. In the process, Wedge offers parents, teachers, doctors, and therapists a new paradigm for child mental health–and a better, happier, and less medicated future for American children.

Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell You Dooley Mike $25.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Hay House 240pp 24 June 2015 9781401945558 Carton Qty: 1 'I know this may come as a shock, and you know I'm not fond of using stale one-liners, but: 'reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.' I'm as alive now as I was on the day we met, except, maybe, more so.' If the dead could speak, don't you wonder what they would say to those of us they've left behind? What would they tell us to soothe our sorrow for their loss, calm our fears of what happens when we die, and fire us up to live the best possible lives we can right now? In pages filled with wisdom, humor, and, yes, joy, New York Times best-selling author Mike Dooley explores our most pressing and profound questions about the afterlife—and this life—from the fresh perspective of those who have made the transition to the next phase. Among the revelations and insights they share: We were ready; you are not. There's no such thing as a devil or hell. We're sorry for any pain we may have caused. Your pets are just as crazy, brilliant, and loving here as they were there. Nothing we say can prepare you for the beauty of the moment you arrive. You'll learn that our loved ones are not lost to us; that our time on earth is both a school and an adventure; that, despite all appearances to the contrary, life truly is fair; and that we have it in us to reshape our own fortunes, starting today. After This: When Life Is Over, Where Do We Go? Bidwell Smith Claire $50.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Hudson Street Books 304pp 24 June 2015 9781594633065 Carton Qty: 1 In After This, acclaimed author, and therapist Claire Bidwell Smith confronts the question she encounters every day in private practice—what happens after we die? In an exploration of the afterlife that is part personal, part prescriptive—Smith invites us on her journey into the unknown. She wonders: How do we grieve our loved ones without proof that they live on? Will we ever see them again? Can they see us now, even though they are gone. Chronicling our steps along the path that bridges this world and the next, Smith undergoes past-life regressions and sessions with mediums and psychics and immerses herself in the ceremonies of organized religion and the rigor of scientific experiments to try and find the answers. Drawing on both her personal losses, recounted in her memoir The Rules of Inheritance, as well as her background working in hospice as a bereavement counselor, Smith attempts to show how exploring the afterlife can have a positive impact on the grief process.

Light is the New Black: A Guide to Answering Your Soul's Calling and Working Your Light Campbell Rebecca $25.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Hay House 0pp 24 June 2015 9781401948504 Carton Qty: 1 Light Is The New Black is a guidebook for a new breed of women who are here to be bright lights in the world. These women are modern-day lightworkers, who agreed at soul level to be here at this time in history, to bring us into the Age of Light (lead by spirit and the divine feminine). At the Peace Conference in Canada in 2009, when the Dalai Lama said 'The world will be saved by the western woman', it was a call to action for women throughout the West. Light Is The New Black is a response to that call. It guides these women to come back home to who they really are, at soul level, and embrace their uniqueness so they can light up the world in a way that only they can. Gone are the days of following someone else's well-trodden path. In order to succeed in this new age, everything must be an authentic expression of who we truly are. A down-to-earth, relatable mix of one girl's journey, channeled messages from The Universe, practical tools, and metaphysical marketing for this new social age, this book will reconnect you to the core of your being, so that you can use it to change the world.

Commit to Win: How to Harness the Four Elements of Commitment to Reach Your Goals Reeder Heidi $30.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Plume 256pp 24 June 2015 9780142181812 Carton Qty: 76 What do you need besides motivation and willpower? In Commit to Win, Heidi Reeder, PhD, unpacks over forty years of research by psychologists and economists to show that the key to reaching any goal, whether it's to hit the gym more often or to finally quit that dead-end job, isn't motivation, willpower, or determination. It's commitment. Busting the myths most of us believe about commitment, Reeder shows that it all comes down to four variables: Treasures: the benefits we get from working toward a goal, Troubles: the difficulties we have to deal with, Contributions: the time, money, and effort we invest, and Choices: the number of good alternatives we have. Together, these variables make up a formula that not only measures how committed we are, but also shows which factors we can change to get our commitment level in sync with what we want to do. Packed with practical examples and action plans for a variety of situations, Commit to Win will allow readers to stop wishing for things to be different and instead make practical changes that will naturally empower them to reach their goals. It will appeal to readers of Succeed and The Willpower Instinct. '[ Thrive: The Power of Psychological Therapy Layard Richard & Clark David M $30.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin (General Uk) 176pp 24 June 2015 9780241961117 Carton Qty: 1 Mental ill-health causes more suffering in our society than physical illness, yet most people who need help don't get it. In Thrive leading mental health experts Richard Layard and David Clark show how evidence-based psychological treatments can bring huge human and economic benefits and, above all, hope. 'This book is an inspiring success story and a stirring call to further action. Its message is as compelling as it is important: the social costs of mental illness are terribly high and the costs of effective treatments are surprisingly low.' Daniel Kahneman 'Remarkable . . . presents the issues in a style that easy for the professional, the general public, and policy makers to understand.' Aaron T. Beck 'An important book . . . the case the authors make for ending this neglect is unanswerable.' Martin Wolf, Financial Times, Books of the Year 'This is simply the best book on public policy and mental health ever written.' Martin Seligman 'Shout it from the rooftops.' Peter Fonagy, The Psychologist Icarus Deception Godin Seth $26.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Portfolio 256pp 29 July 2015 9780670923021 Carton Qty: 1 What are you afraid of? The old rules: Play it safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Find an institution, a job, a set of rules to stick to. Keep your head down. Don't fly too close to the sun. The new truth: It's better to be sorry than safe. You need to fly higher than ever. In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an economy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkability, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. The path of the artist isn't for the faint of heart - but Godin shows why it's your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference. The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. So what are you going to do? A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History Wade Nicholas $35.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Penguin 288pp 24 June 2015 9780143127161 Carton Qty: 56 Drawing on startling new evidence from the mapping of the genome, an explosive new account of the genetic basis of race and its role in the human story. Fewer ideas have been more toxic or harmful than the idea of the biological reality of race, and with it the idea that humans of different races are biologically different from one another. For this understandable reason, the idea has been banished from polite academic conversation. Arguing that race is more than just a social construct can get a scholar run out of town, or at least off campus, on a rail. Human evolution, the consensus view insists, ended in prehistory. Inconveniently, as Nicholas Wade argues in A Troublesome Inheritance, the consensus view cannot be right. And in fact, we know that populations have changed in the past few thousand years—to be lactose tolerant, for example, and to survive at high altitudes. Race is not a bright-line distinction; by definition it means that the more human populations are kept apart, the more they evolve their own distinct traits under the selective pressure known as Darwinian evolution. For many thousands of years, most human populations stayed where they were and grew distinct, not just in outward appearance but in deeper senses as well. Wade, the longtime journalist covering genetic advances for The New York Times, draws widely on the work of scientists who have made crucial breakthroughs in establishing the reality of recent human evolution. The most provocative claims in this book involve the genetic basis of human social habits. What we might call middle-class social traits—thrift, docility, nonviolence—have been slowly but surely inculcated genetically within agrarian societies, Wade argues. These 'values' obviously had a strong cultural component, but Wade points to evidence that agrarian societies evolved away from huntergatherer societies in some crucial respects. Also controversial are his findings regarding the genetic basis of traits we associate with intelligence, such as literacy and numeracy, in certain ethnic populations, including the Chinese and Ashkenazi Jews. Wade believes deeply in the fundamental equality of all human peoples. He also believes that science is best served by pursuing the truth without fear, and if his mission to arrive at a coherent summa of what the new genetic science does and does not tell us about race and human history leads straight into a minefield, then so be it. This will not be the last word on the subject, but it will begin a powerful and overdue conversation. The Upright Thinkers Mlodinow Leonard $48.00 (B Fmt H/B 206x133mm) Allen Lane 336pp 24 June 2015 9780141980997 Carton Qty: 1 From the bestselling author of The Drunkard's Walk and Subliminal, this is the inspiring and illuminating story of how we have come to understand the world, from the invention of the very first tools to the mind-bending theories of quantum physics. Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the critical eras and events in the development of science, all of which, he demonstrates, were propelled forward by humankind's collective struggle to know. From the birth of reasoning and culture to the formation of the studies of physics, chemistry, biology, and modern-day quantum physics, we come to see that much of our progress can be attributed to simple questions - why? how? - bravely asked. Mlodinow profiles some of the great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers who explored these questions - Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein and Lavoisier among them - and makes clear that just as science has played a key role in shaping the patterns of human thought, human subjectivity has played a key role in the evolution of science. At once authoritative and accessible, and infused with the author's trademark wit, this deeply insightful book is a stunning tribute to humanity's intellectual curiosity.

You're commissioned to design a bridge to nowhere. Briefly describe possible nowheres you might build it to. Where did the fun go? Suggest four hyper-specific places. If you do manage to track the fun down and tie it to a chair, what do you do or do with it? You're commissioned to write a pilot script for a post-apocalyptic sitcom. It's based not on the next post-apocalyptic period, but the one after that, after a new civilization arises and collapses. What are seven things you do to celebrate this cool new job? You design vending machines that sell things that are not physical objects. Like what? And for how much? List twelve things you can have instead of 'it all.' List a handful of elevator tension-breakers, and a handful of elevator tension-makers.

One is, you got to stay who you are — no matter how many murders you solve. When Miss Lana makes an Accidental Bid at the Tupelo auction and winds up the mortified owner of an old inn, she doesn't realize there's a ghost in the fine print. Naturally, Desperado Detective Agency (aka Mo and Dale) opens a paranormal division to solve the mystery of the ghost's identity. They've got to figure out who the ghost is so they can interview it for their history assignment (extra credit). But Mo and Dale start to realize that the Inn isn't the only haunted place in Tupelo Landing. People can also be haunted by their own past. As Mo and Dale handily track down the truth about the ghost (with some help from the new kid in town), they discover the truth about a great many other people, too. A laugh out loud, ghostly, Southern mystery that can be enjoyed by readers visiting Tupelo Landing for the first time, as well as those who are old friends of Mo and Dale.
