The Poppy
Tells the story of a national British symbol: the remembrance poppy. During the First World War, millions of soldiers saw the poppies in Flanders fields on the Western Front. Some even sent pressed poppies home in letters. Over 100 years later, the poppy is still a world-recognised symbol of remembrance of the First World War, and many of us choose to wear a red poppy in November. The poppy continues to capture our imaginations, reminding us to remember the human cost of war. Through archival photographs, objects and artworks from IWM's collections, this beautifully illustrated giftbook tells the poignant story of the remembrance poppy, from its origins on the battlefields of Flanders during the First World War to its enduring role as a symbol of remembrance today.
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.
Rose Wylie
Published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Academy, London, from 28 February to 19 April, 2026, this book brings together leading authorities on Rose Wylie's work and many of her distinct images. Rose Wylie OBE RA (b. 1934) lives and works in Kent. She paints from memory, frequently taking her imagery from mass media. Her large works on unstretched, unprimed canvas appear simple at first glance, but close inspection reveals them to be subtle meditations on the nature of visual representation. She regularly brings together apparently disparate images, creating visual rhymes and resonances that coalesce into unified compositions. This new book, the catalogue of a large-scale exhibition at the Royal Academy, brings together leading authorities on Wylie's work and a host of her unmistakable imagery.
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?

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.

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 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.
Dead Note
"An original, compelling, hard-hitting thriller, Dead Note takes off like a bullet train and doesn't let up until the heart-stopping finale." --A.A. CHAUDHURI A killer's greatest hit starts with a song . . . Mia Cordova's world imploded when her father was shot dead in front of her while singing a karaoke classic. The police insisted that his death was the result of a random barroom brawl - an open and shut case - but when, years later, another man is killed in the same way, singing the same song, Mia is convinced the two killings must be connected. When a newspaper article draws a link between the murders, Mia is thrown into an investigation that leads her into Manila's underworld of interrogations, gambling rings and shootouts. With the police quick to cast suspicion on her, Mia must bring her father's killer to justice alone. But can she catch a killer before she becomes his next victim?
Men of a Certain Age
"My favorite writer and interviewer." --Jude Rogers, music critic for the Guardian and author of The Sound of Being Human "If Kate Mossman's name is on it, then I want to read it." --Pete Paphides, journalist who has written about music for The Times, Mojo, and Time Out From Jeff Beck to Ray Davies, Jon Bon Jovi to Kevin Ayers, Kate Mossman has long fostered an interest in male musicians of a certain age. Why is it that when I meet them, I feel something ignite inside me? What is this strange connection - to feel so excited, yet so at ease? And how is it that in the presence of a wrinkly rock star twice my age, I sometimes feel like I'm meeting . . . me? Featuring 19 long-form profiles lovingly constructed for The Word magazine and the New Statesman, Men of a Certain Age chronicles the lives of some of the biggest rock stars of our time, including Brian May, Gene Simmons, Terence Trent D'Arby, Johnny Rotten and Nick Cave. The book is a meditation on the powerful archetype of the ageing rock star, but it is also a personal story - of music and obsession, and of the deep unconscious projections at play in our relationships with the famous people who most capture our hearts.

It has been twenty years since the godlike Augurs were overthrown and killed. Now, those who once served them--the Gifted--are spared only because they have accepted the rebellion's Four Tenets, vastly limiting their powers. As a Gifted, Davian suffers the consequences of a war lost before he was even born. He and others like him are despised. But when Davian discovers he wields the forbidden power of the Augurs, he and his friends Wirr and Asha set into motion a chain of events that will change everything. To the west, a young man whose fate is intertwined with Davian's wakes up in the forest, covered in blood and with no memory of who he is ...
