Emergency Exits
New title in Imperial War Museum's photography series, showcasing the best of the photography archive's rich collection The Second World War was won by millions of Allied soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians, many of whom came from the countries of the British Empire. It was won using resources extracted from these countries: vital to ensuring the defeat of fascism in Europe and Japanese imperialism in the Pacific. However, for many of the people who had long sought freedom from British control, the end of the war did not mark a return to peace, but the start of a new battle - the battle to decide who would shape their futures. Through 50 photographs, Emergency Exits explores how key conflicts in Malalya, Kenya and Cyprus became defining events in the end of the British Empire. This poignant collection brings to light the lesser-known history of the events that followed the end of the Second World War, and their role in shaping the world we know today.
Making Arrangements
Lang Eldridge, the protagonist in "Making Arrangements," is a cancer-surviving baby boomer whose 'perfect arrangements' go awry after her fit husband drops dead instead of her. A loner, her life has revolved around her husband and her granddaughter, and close friendships between women are something she doesn't quite understand. How do they become so familiar with each other, knowing where the spices are kept in each other's kitchens? Prepared for her own death, Lang has arranged every detail of her husband's life without her, from her decadent caramel cakes with thick creamy icing in the freezer for his first birthday without her to love letters for Christmas, Father's Day, their anniversary... Reeling as a widow, she struggles with impending foreclosure on her beloved historic family estate, a conniving tennis star son, a grammar-butchering fashion plate who decides they are best friends, an unlikely romance and a mute stray dog. She discovers the secret her husband carried to his grave could ruin her life. If she lets it. A novel of funerals, flowers, friendship and forgiveness, themes of family, and its definition, are central to Making Arrangements. Can family be formed when there is no bloodline, and how does that happen? This story is told with "delightfully sassy writing with rich characters you'll want to slap!" according to one reviewer.

If I Were a Demon (Part 2)
Just when you thought you'd seen and heard everything ... another demon speaks! There are presently too many manifestations of negative, disruptive and counter-productive phenomena in the Body of Christ for those who claim to be authentic disciples to sit still, philosophizing, twiddling their fingers and basking in ignorance...as though Satan and his demons had gone on an extended vacation, overseas. This book seeks to unearth several of the diabolic roots that are responsible for the strangulation of numerous churches and the destruction of careless, casual, undiscerning Christians, right across the globe. It deals with controversial topics that are often branded "taboo" by the religious status quo and which we would normally discuss only in our most secret chambers, if any at all. "If I Were A Demon (Part 2)" acknowledges that a fierce, ongoing Spiritual Battle exists between the two opposing forces, and that human beings make daily choices that will either cripple or empower them in their quest for survival on this tumultuous planet. Are you brave enough to read this book?
Minds that Dare
This book gives an insider account of the rise of Academia Libera Mentis, a revolutionary new type of higher education that restores free speech and the ideals of the enlightenment, but that also uses a unique integrated teaching method that vastly accelerates learning of the social sciences in a one-year program (economics, leadership, psychology, history, statistics, and so forth). It has been co-written by an academic founder and a student of this academy: Professor Paul Frijters and Sienna Baker. Sienna describes what life and study is like at this new academy for a 21 year old, whilst Professor Frijters gives an insider look at the founding of this new academy. The interaction between these authors is unusual, a real conversation across generations with a lot of surprises for the reader. It is a one-of-a-kind book. The authors begin with juicy revelations about Harvard, set up an 'are we brave enough' moment to hook the reader, talk about the education of great Western classical thinkers, paint a vision of a future network of small academies, lay out a revolutionary blueprint for a new type of education to replace the current academic tribes in social science, and then regale the reader with the trials and tribulations of actually building and running a new academy. There is romance, laughter, heart-to-hearts, big reveals, agony, religion, poetry, and much else in this book. The hope for this book is to spark an academic revolution. Accordingly, the book ends with a grand vision of academic renewal and what specific steps various audiences can take. Key passages: Paul to his wife Erika: "Hey, honey, I have an idea. Want to quit your job, move countries, spend all of our life savings on a place to educate students, risk being seen as a dangerous lunatic by the Dutch government and your own family, and work hard for no pay for years in the vague hope that we can change Western university education and help young people today with their struggles, though they will probably not thank us for it?" Erika's response? "Let's do it." Sienna " My life a week later was completely unrecognisable from what it had been. I gained confidence as a teacher and a writer; and I could finally envision a life beyond the cloistered echo-chambers of modern universities and bureaucracy-strangled Australian institutions. More than that, even - my autoimmune issues almost completely cleared up."

The Specimens
"A work of fiction that is both a potent portrait of early 19th-century Edinburgh but also a story about female agency or the lack of it. The result is a compelling, painful, haunted piece of work."--The Herald Edinburgh, 1828. Two women - one rich, one poor - must navigate life against a frenzied backdrop of medical discovery, mob mayhem, and murder. The home Helen shares in the slums of the Old Town with her lover William Burke could hardly be more different from Susan's dreams of an affluent existence as the wife of Robert Knox, one of the foremost anatomists of the day. But as people begin disappearing, these two very different women face an impossible choice. Should they protect what lives they have or tell the truth about what they know? This is the story of the notorious serial killings of Burke and Hare, told for the first time through the eyes of two very different women, whose stories explore the depths of the human heart in a perilous, vulnerable world.

The Closest Thing to Crazy
"Fabulously readable." --STEPHEN FRY "Wildly entertaining." --DAILY EXPRESS Nominated for the 2025 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research Described variously as a 'polymath', a 'renaissance man' and 'one of the most colorful characters in the music business', Mike Batt has led an extraordinarily vibrant and challenging life that has been full of both glorious victories and bitter failures. For better or for worse, he is a man who has always lived life on his own terms. Idiosyncratic but mainstream, complicated but compassionate, steadfastly maverick in spirit but avowedly commercial in outlook. He is a man of great contradictions, but even greater talent. After starting out in the music business as a teenager, Batt shot to fame in the early 1970s for his part in the creation of the Wombles pop group. But this success proved to be just the beginning as he then went on to work with various artists as a songwriter, composer and producer, including Art Garfunkel, George Harrison, Cliff Richard, Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Katie Melua. Featuring cameos from some of the biggest stars in the business from Paul McCartney to Prince, The Closest Thing to Crazy takes us not only on the rocky (and classical) journey of Mike Batt's life but also on a tour around the inside of his mind.
