An eye-opening exposé of the men and women who change our minds

The Persuaders The Hidden Industry That Wants to Change Your Mind

James Garvey

Almost every hour of every day, people will try to change your mind – and they don’t want you to notice, because none of it consists in giving you good reasons.

You are nudged, anchored, and incentivised. Products are designed with the help of neuromarketing to appeal to unconscious minds; the taste of food is ‘improved’ merely by brand association. Covert PR can start wars: the emotional testimony of fifteen year-old Nayirah that helped the case for the first Gulf War was assembled by PR firm Hill & Knowlton. Book covers adorned with favourable quotes are a powerful ‘social proof’, whether the quotes are real or bogus.

These hidden techniques for changing our minds are everywhere, once we know how to spot them. It’s a profound shift in the way human beings interact with one another. Philosopher James Garvey presents not just a requiem for rationality, but a call to think again about the way we think now.

JAMES GARVEY works for the Royal Institute of Philosophy and edits The Philosophers’ Magazine. He is the author of a number of books, including The Story of Philosophy (with Jeremy Stangroom) and The Ethics of Climate Change. He has written for the Guardian, The Times Literary Supplement, the Huffington Post, the New Statesman, and the Times Higher Education Supplement, does voluntary work for Thames Reach and Crisis, teaches jiu jitsu, and is an enthusiastic cyclist. He lives on a canal boat in London.

The hilarious, poignant and sometimes bizarre stories of an extraordinary vet in rural France

Monsieur le Vet My Life With Animals in Rural France

Sylvain Balteau Translated from the French

by Barbara Mellor

Sylvain Balteau works as a village vet in the Pyrenees. Equally at home with a sick hamster as with a pregnant Charolais cow, he is permanently on call, immersed in the dramas of his patients and their owners.

Since 2007 he has kept a blog, revealing the hidden side of a vet’s life and the richness of his surroundings: a piglet that has become a disadvantaged person’s only reason for living; a cat that arrives on Christmas Eve to be destroyed and leaves the next day in full health; the mare dying peacefully under a tree; the farmer’s wife on the verge of a heart attack who insists that the vet see her sick cow first …

Through his work with their animals, Sylvain gains a privileged insight into the people who live with them. In this profound and unsentimental book, he discovers that, in order to love animals, you can’t help but love people as well.

SYLVAIN BALTEAU 36, lives and works in a French village in the Haute-Garonne, at the foot of the Pyrenees. He trained as a vet in Toulouse and started keeping a blog of his life in 2007. This is his first book. He speaks English fluently.

BARBARA MELLOR has over thirty years’ experience as a translator and editor. Recent highlights include Résistance by Agnès Humbert (Bloomsbury, 2009) and A King in Hiding by Fahim (Icon, 2015).

A beautiful piece of nature writing revealing a hidden side of London

Adrift The Secret Life of London’s Waterways

Helen Babbs

After ten years renting expensive rooms in small flats, Helen Babbs swapped bricks and mortar for a boat called ‘Pike’.

She now calls London’s canals and rivers her home. Without a permanent mooring, she cruises ever-onwards, cast adrift in a sometimes hostile city.

From deep winter to late autumn, we travel with Helen as she takes us on a tour of London’s canal and river flora, fauna, people and history, revealing intricate details and taking us to places only accessible by boat. Adrift also explores issues relevant to city dwellers across the world: the pressures of urban life, alternative ways of living and the age-old experience of setting up a first home.

Blending autobiography, nature writing and documentary, Adrift invites the reader on an eye-opening journey into a different side of the city.

Praise for Helen’s previous book, My Garden, the City and Me: ‘This charming book is a love letter to the capital’s hidden green spaces and their wildlife’ Daily Mail ‘An inspirational and beautiful hardback written with a serious sense of wide-eyed wonder’ Londonist

HELEN BABBS is a writer and journalist. Her work has been published by the BBC, the Guardian, the Telegraph, New Statesman and Time Out, among others. Helen’s first book – My Garden, the City and Me, about urban nature and the glory of growing things – was published in 2011 and nominated for two garden writing awards.

We Have a Deal How to Negotiate With Intelligence, Flexibility and Power

Natalie Reynolds

Negotiation is the most important skill you can develop to get what you want in business and life. But we often struggle to do it effectively. We fail to recognise opportunities, we prepare poorly or we let ourselves be led by others or by our own fear.

Natalie Reynolds, negotiation expert and CEO of negotiation consultancy advantageSPRING – who count the United Nations, BBC News, JP Morgan and Human Rights Watch among clients – will teach you how to avoid these pitfalls, keep cool and in control, and achieve what you want, every time – whether you’re responsible for large deals at work or simply renegotiating your phone contract.

We Have a Deal also explains why good negotiation matters, and why others react the way they do. From being flexible to overcoming obstructive behaviour, this book will help you to understand the underlying motivations and get the best out of every deal.

NATALIE REYNOLDS specialises in negotiation, commercial dispute resolution and governance, and is the founder of advantageSPRING, where she works with global companies such as Goldman Sachs, the NSPCC and Channel 4 to develop negotiation coaching and training, and to design and execute negotiation strategies. In addition to her core training, she runs a hugely popular gender workshop, ‘Is Negotiation a Man’s Game?’, and has published articles in the Guardian and the Huffington Post. She lives in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.

The unmissable story of a south London velodrome and track cycling’s British history

Ride! Ride! Ride!

The Story of Herne Hill Velodrome and the Rise of British Track Cycling

Mark Wellings

Mark Wellings tells the story of British track cycling – which with Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy and Laura Trott rules the world – through the history of the iconic 1948 Olympic venue Herne Hill Velodrome, which opened 125 years ago.

From Lyons Tea House ladies’ teams in the 1930s to the medals of 1948; from the huge Italian crowd which greeted Fausto Coppi in Herne Hill in 1958 to Red Harris’ men’s track record at 53; from Tom Simpson and Barry Hoban in the 1960s to Graeme Obree and Bradley Wiggins – who started racing at Herne Hill at twelve – Wellings, with an eye for incredible detail and anecdote, tells for the first time a picturesque story of track cycling in Britain.

Packed with many previously unpublished photographs, Ride! Ride! Ride! is a thrilling circuit of track cycling’s history, the story of an iconic venue, and a tale of British achievement against all the odds.

MARK WELLINGS is a former publisher for Financial Times Newsletters and Management Reports in Hong Kong and senior commissioning editor for Thomson Learning in London. He has been involved in Herne Hill Velodrome, as a cyclist and a very active volunteer, for more than fifteen years. Prior to co-founding content marketing strategists Grist he was director of custom publishing for the Economist Intelligence Unit in New York. He lives in Herne Hill in south London.

From the popular Telegraph column, a characterful guide to Britain’s best boozers

Pint to Pint A Crawl Around Britain’s Best Pubs

For the dedicated pub-goer and the armchair drinker, here is an enticing selection of ‘proper’ pubs to gladden the heart and slake the thirst.

All of these pubs get the basics right: they focus on the beer (though the food and wine may also be excellent) and on conversation rather than piped music. They may have a roaring fire in winter and a pleasant beer garden in summer. You can probably bring your dog. Above all, they have a notable character that raises them above the bland corporate pubs that blight the land.

It can be hard to say exactly why – but you just know a good pub the moment you enter. Trusted Telegraph reviewers have made their selection for you, based on highly personal but well-informed criteria, resulting in a nationwide pub crawl like no other.

This is the perfect book for anyone who considers a good pub to be a British birthright.

THE TELEGRAPH’S Pint to Pint column is written by a selection of regular Telegraph journalists and contributors and features a new pub every Thursday.

A billion-year history of movement from bacteria to Olympic athletes

Restless Creatures The Story of Life in Ten Movements

Matt Wilkinson

Despite the overwhelming diversity of life on earth, one theme has dominated its evolution: the apparently simple act of moving from one place to another. Restless Creatures is the first book for a general audience telling the incredible story of locomotion in human and animal evolution.

Evolutionary biologist Matt Wilkinson shows why our ancestors became two-legged, why we have opposable thumbs, why the backbone appeared, how fish fins became limbs, how even trees are locomotion-obsessed, and how movement has shaped our minds as well as our bodies. He explains why there are no flying monkeys or biological wheels, how dinosaurs took to the air, how Mexican waves began in the animal kingdom, and why moving can make us feel good.

Restless Creatures opens up an astonishing new perspective – that nothing in life makes sense except in the light of movement.

MATT WILKINSON is a zoologist and science communicator at the University of Cambridge. His work has been covered in the Telegraph, Metro, New Scientist and Nature. He has been a runner-up in the Daily Telegraph/BASF science writer competition, and reached second place in the first Cheltenham Science Festival FameLab competition.

In 2007 he went to drama school, and he wrote a play about T.H. Huxley that was premiered at the 2009 Darwin Festival.

Restless Creatures is his first book.

From acclaimed thinker and former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich: how capitalism can be fixed

Saving Capitalism For the Many, Not the Few

Robert B. Reich

Do you recall a time when the income of a single schoolteacher or baker or salesman or mechanic was enough to buy a home, have two cars, and raise a family?

Robert Reich does – in the 1950s his father sold clothes to factory workers and the family earnt enough to live comfortably. Today, this middle class is rapidly shrinking: American income inequality and wealth disparity is the greatest it’s been in eighty years. As Reich, who served in three US administrations, shows, the threat to capitalism is no longer communism or fascism but a steady undermining of the trust modern societies need for growth and stability.

With an exclusive new chapter for Icon’s edition, Saving Capitalism is passionate yet practical, sweeping yet exactingly argued, a revelatory indictment of the economic status quo and an empowering call to action.

‘A riveting guide to how our economic and political system has become so badly flawed.’ Joseph Stiglitz

ROBERT B. REICH is Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Richard and Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and senior fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies. He has served in three national administrations and has written fourteen books, including the bestsellers Supercapitalism and Locked in the Cabinet. His articles have appeared in the New Yorker, Atlantic, New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. He is co-creator of the award-winning 2013 film Inequality for All.

An urgent manifesto for those who want to eat healthily

Grass-Fed Nation A Rescue Plan for Food and the Countryside

Graham Harvey

For years we’ve been told that, thanks to their high saturated fat content, the foods for which evolution has adapted us – grass-fed meat, grass-fed dairy products, eggs from hens running on pasture – are unhealthy. In their place we eat processed factory foods – and we’ve witnessed a growing epidemic of disease, from type-2 diabetes to heart disease and cancer.

It’s now clear that the ‘food revolution’ was flawed. Saturated fat is not the cause of heart disease or diabetes. Far more likely causes are sugar and refined carbohydrates, low-fat spreads and vegetable oils. The really healthy foods turn out to be the ones our grandparents knew to be the best.

There’s a simple remedy. We can make sure that the meat, dairy foods and eggs we buy come from animals grazing on or running in pasture.

This will also put life back into our soils and wildlife back into our fields and hedgerows.

This book is an urgent manifesto for grass-fed foods – for your health and for the planet.

GRAHAM HARVEY has written on food and farming for Farmers’ Weekly, the Sunday Times, the Daily Mail, New Scientist and Country Life.

For three years he wrote the ‘Old Muckspreader’ column in Private Eye. In the mid-1980s he joined the scriptwriting team of The Archers, since when he has written more than 600 episodes and is currently the programme’s Agricultural Advisor. Graham’s first book, The Killing of the Countryside, was winner of the BP Natural World Book Prize. He is also co-founder of the country’s leading conference on low-input, ecological agriculture – the Oxford Real Farming Conference.

What maleness should mean now, from the author of Vice’s ‘A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men’

Man Up Surviving Modern Masculinity

Jack Urwin

Jack Urwin’s father died when he was ten. No one around him ever sat him down to talk him through his grief. In his later teens he suffered a breakdown.

Now 22 and a journalist whose recent Vice article ‘A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men’ – described as ‘fabulous’ by Irvine Welsh – became a viral sensation, Urwin explores what it means to be a man now.

He traces crises of masculinity from our grandfathers’ inability to deal with the horrors of war, to the mob mentality of football terraces or Fight Club, and the disturbing rise of mental health problems among men today.

Smart, funny and friendly, but with a wisdom that belies the author’s age, Man Up is the start of an essential conversation for men, exploring why we have perpetuated the myth of masculinity – and how we can challenge it, and change it.

‘In my opinion this is the brilliant, personal, not-actually-sexist writing by millennials about masculinity and politics that the world has been waiting for’ Laurie Penny on Jack Urwin’s Vice article

JACK URWIN, 22, is a journalist and a frequent contributor to Vice magazine, among other publications, who writes on pop culture, mental health, and music. His piece for Vice on his father’s death, ‘A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men’ was instantly shared tens of thousands of times around the world, and was called ‘fabulous’ by Irvine Welsh.

From powerful props to explosive centres, tricky wingers to fearless scrum halves, this list brings together the greats of every shape, size and position.

A passionate rugby fan narrows down rugby’s finest to select his greatest 50

Is the might of Jonah Lomu preferred to the vision of David Campese? Who was better, Jonny or Johnno? Did a legendary Australian fly-half who retired at 25 do enough to warrant inclusion? And which heroic captain had the greater nickname, Colin ‘Pinetree’ Meads or John ‘Nobody’ Eales (because Nobody’s perfect)? But most importantly, who will be crowned the greatest rugby player of all time?

STEVEN WHITE is a rugby union enthusiast who studied Writing for Publication at the University of Leeds. His writing has appeared in Sabotage Times and thinkfootball.co.uk (all for the lesser footballing code!). Steven works in publishing and lives in East London.

Some journeys are well known, such as the Glacier and Orient Expresses, which blend glamour and outstanding service with colourful history. Others less so: the train from Inverness to Wick and Thurso traverses some of the wildest country in Britain; or there’s the coast-to-coast journey through the chestnut- and pine-clad mountains of Corsica, crossing one of Gustave Eiffel’s glorious viaducts of gossamer steel.

From the modest line through North Yorkshire’s Esk Valley to the Trans-Siberian railway, from a narrow-gauge web of lines in the Harz Mountains to the train that crosses Australia’s barren Nullarbor Plain in a dead-straight 478km, Lambert’s selection is unmissable for any lover of travel and is as sure to delight as the journeys themselves.

Geoff Hurst’s Greats England’s 1966 Hero Selects His Finest Ever Footballers

National hero Sir Geoff Hurst – still the only man to score a World Cup final hat-trick, a half-century ago this year – risks controversy as he narrows down football’s finest to a select 50.

Is Franz Beckenbauer preferred to England’s heroic Bobby Moore? Has Messi managed to edge ahead of Maradona? Will Bale or Suárez make the cut?

50 years on, England’s 1966 hat-trick hero selects his 50 greatest players of all time.

To each entry – accompanied by a photo of the player in their prime – Sir Geoff brings many first-hand tales of former teammates and rivals. From one of the great icons of the British game, this is a must-read for football fans – and the likely start of many debates …

SIR GEOFF HURST is the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final – for England in their historic 4–2 victory over West Germany at Wembley in 1966. He was selected by Alf Ramsey to lead England’s attack between 1966 and 1972 – the longest run of any forward under Ramsey, scoring 24 goals in that time. After three seasons with Stoke he finished his Football League career with West Bromwich Albion in 1976.

He lives in Cheltenham.

‘A lovely mix of English sensibility and Danish pragmatism’ Sandi Toskvig

The Year of Living Danishly Uncovering the Secrets of the World’s Happiest Country

Helen Russell

Suddenly given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, Helen Russell discovers a startling statistic: Denmark, a land often thought of as consisting entirely of long dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries, is the happiest place on earth.

What is the secret to their success? Are happy Danes born, or made?

Helen decides there is only one way to find out: she will give herself a year, trying to uncover the formula for Danish happiness.

From childcare, education, food and interior design to SAD, taxes, sexism and an unfortunate predilection for burning witches, The Year of Living Danishly is a funny, poignant record of a journey that shows what the Danes get right, what they get wrong, and how we might all live a little more Danishly ourselves.

‘Such a delight’ Independent

HELEN RUSSELL is a journalist and former editor of MarieClaire.co.uk. She now lives in rural Jutland and works as a Scandinavia correspondent for the Guardian and the Independent, as well as writing a column on Denmark for the Telegraph.

Shakespeare on Toast Getting a Taste for the Bard

Whether you’re studying Shakespeare for the first time or you’ve never set foot near one of his plays but have always wanted to, this book smashes down the walls that have been built up around this untouchable literary figure.

‘Having Crystal as a companion through the stickier parts of Hamlet and Macbeth is like going to the theatre with an intelligent friend.’ Independent ‘This is a brilliantly enjoyable, light-hearted look at Shakespeare which dispels the myths and makes him accessible to all. I love it!’ Dame Judi Dench

Catherine Hewitt

Painted by Manet and immortalised

by Zola in his scandalous Nana, Comtesse Valtesse de la Bigne was a celebrated 19th-century Parisian courtesan whose affairs with Napoleon III and the future Edward VII kept gossip columns full.

But her glamorous existence hid a secret: she was no Comtesse, and was born into abject poverty. Yet she transformed herself into an enchantress with a small fortune, three mansions, fabulous carriages, and art the envy of connoisseurs. A consummate show-woman, she ensured that her life – and death – remained shrouded in mystery.

Catherine Hewitt’s remarkable biography tells the forgotten story of a woman who never stopped aiming high.

Einstein’s Masterwork 1915 and the General Theory of Relativity

John Gribbin

‘An absorbing and readable account’ BBC Sky at Night In 1915, Albert Einstein presented his masterwork, the General Theory of Relativity. He described it as ‘the most valuable theory of my life’, and ‘of incomparable beauty’. It explains the evolution of the Universe, black holes, and why clocks run slower on Earth than in space. It even suggests the possibility of time travel.

And yet we think instead of 1905, the year of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and his equation E=mc2, as his annus mirabilis.

In Einstein’s Masterwork, John Gribbin explains Einstein’s astonishing breakthrough and argues that we should regard 1915 as his finest year.

Independent journalist Emily Dugan’s timely and acutely observed book reveals the intense personal dramas of ordinary men and women as they struggle to find somewhere to call home. It shows that migration is not about numbers, votes or opinions: it is about people.
