    From the beginning of summer to early spring, I lived at the Morisaki Bookshop. I spent that period of my life in the spare room on the second floor of the store, trying to bury myself in books. The cramped room barely got any light, and everything felt damp. It smelled constantly of musty old books. But I will always remember the days I spent there. Because that's where my real life began. And I know, without a doubt, that if not for those days the rest of my life would have been bland, monotonous, and lonely. The Morisaki Bookshop is precious to me. It's a place I know I'll never forget.

    A stunning self-portrait of a woman trying to make sense of the misogyny and sexism she has faced throughout her life. - TIME MagazineIn early 2021, popular artist Anna Marie Tendler checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression and self-harm. Over two weeks, she underwent myriad psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, There is a you inside that feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside.In Men Have Called Her Crazy, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed. This is a memoir that speaks to every woman who has been made to question her own sanity, doubt herself and her worth. Anna Marie Tendlers powerful writing, insight and clarity enabled her to find a way out of the narratives that had been foisted on her since girlhood and create her own, new story. This beautiful and heartfelt book invites us to do the same.This stunning literary self-portrait examines the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century. Yet overwhelming and despairing as that can feel, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. Early in her stay in the hospital, she says, My wish for myself is that one day Ill reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself. By the end of the book, she fulfils that wish.

A woodlouse-collecting, snail-racing, tree-climbing, muddy-footed child, she and her siblings spent more time playing outside than in. Lucy was always intrigued by the natural world, but it wasnt until she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma at the age of twenty-three, that she found what she describes as The Nature Thing. Over the months of her chemotherapy treatment, she burrowed even further down the nature wormhole, distracting herself by bumbling around nature reserves and greenspaces, snapping photos of any wildlife she found.In her book, Love Is A Toad, Lucy seeks to explore and celebrate the world around us in all its muddy, messy and beautiful glory. Interwoven with her own story, Lucy takes to the fields, moors and footpaths of the UK with her fellow nature enthusiasts and digs down into the emotions which nature inspires. Through these interactions and Lucys own observations, she examines the connection we have with the natural world - from wild grief and anger through to soaring joy and indefatigable hope.

    Foreword by Tom HardyAs a ten-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and a former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu of all time.His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting, Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to become the warrior he later did. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Rogers star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to strip back overly complex moves to their simplest most effective forms, just as his grandfather had done before him. In The Warrior Mindset, for the first time, Gracie shares lessons from a career of fighting at the highest level including: -Learning to breathe, -Controlling your emotions, -Mastering your thinking, and -Developing Quiet Inner Grace. Going far beyond the mat, this hard won wisdom is applicable to everyone from any background and in any walk of life who longs to find strength, courage, health, and peace.

    Riveting - The New York TimesA bestselling writer tells the little-known story of the Allies fight in WWIIs chaotic and lethal China-Burma-India theatre.In April 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army captured Burma, closing the only ground route from India to China. Supplies now had to be flown over the treacherous Himalayas, on the worlds most dangerous air route. This is the story of the Allied troops who braved this perilous journey, flying unreliable aircraft through monsoons and enemy fire, with primitive navigation tools. Caroline Alexander delves into memoirs and records to reveal the pilots and soldiers experiences and portrays the exploits of commanders like Vinegar Joe Stillwell and Claire Lee Chennault. The result is a litany of both deadly crashes and astonishing feats of survival.While highlighting the efforts of units like the Flying Tigers and Merrills Marauders, and examining the political tensions between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Chiang Kai-shek, this book also exposes the fractures between the Allies and the impact of these decisions on post-war relations. A masterpiece of modern war history.

    Everything a reader could desire: wit, passion, mystery, brilliant detective work, a love of rare books, a deep dive into literary history and, best of all, the restoration of reputation for a group of great women authors whose names should never have been forgotten Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, LoveIt all started with a book that made me curious.When rare books dealer Rebecca Romney found an emerald clothbound edition of Evelina by Frances Burney, she was happy to discover that shed stumbled across a novel by one of Jane Austens favourite authors. Inspired by the connection between the two writers, she returned to Austens books with a new lens, picking out clues sprinkled throughout her works that pointed to the writers she had admired.Austen read William Shakespeare, John Milton, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Richardson, all authors Rebecca had read. But Austen also read Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Lennox, Hannah More, Charlotte Smith, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hester Piozzi, and Maria Edgeworth, all authors Romney hadnt. These female writers all sat proudly on Austens bookshelf, but have disappeared from ours.Romney became fascinated with these writers and wanted to answer three important questions: What were the stories behind the lives of these women? Why have they disappeared from our bookshelves? Who wrote them out of history? She had a mission, an obligation: she needed to collect Jane Austens bookshelf.

    'A must read for anyone who buys anything plastic' MICHAEL MOSS, PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF SALT, SUGAR, FAT Over the past seventy years, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Unilever and other consumer goods makers have harnessed single-use plastics to turbocharge their profits. They've poured billions of dollars into convincing us we need disposable diapers, cups, bags, bottles, shampoo sachets and ultra-processed foods.We were never clamouring for any of this. But this shift towards disposability has fundamentally transformed our daily habits. Think of toddlers kept in disposable diapers for far longer than their parents wore cloth, our obsession with bottled water and our insatiable appetite for convenient snacks and coffee. While at first we shaped plastics, somewhere along the way, plastics took over and began shaping us. Like any addiction, our plastic habit has consequences. It is damaging our climate and biodiversity - today, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic waste ends up in the ocean every minute - and we are only just starting to understand its effect on our own health. In investigating how we got here, Consumed arms us to make better decisions about where we go next. It is only by understanding this history that we will stop accepting the same failed solutions and demand better from the brands that got us hooked on plastic in the first place.
