On the farm, they leavetheir anxieties and theirphonesbehind as he sharespowerfullessons from his own mistakes and triumphs.

Terrestrial
Cristina Rivera Garza
From the Pulitzer Prize winner comes aconstellation of stories, set on the fringes of Mexico and the United States
In Terrestrial, we follow travellers who carry little but longing and a sense of possibility. A woman returns to the town of a lover who once abandoned her, walking its streets listening for an echo. Two girls ride a train in search of a lake that may only exist in memory and myth. A group of workers build a temporary shelter, only to see it razed in an instant.
These characters hitchhike, drift, wander, or at times, fly, to resist the forces that try to contain them. On dusty, sun-baked roadstheyremain close to the earth's surface, sensing its tremors, its wounds, itswildpromise and enduring beauty.
Blending memoir, reportage and fiction, Terrestrial is a fierce and tender meditation on what it means to move through the world as a woman, on the landscapes that mark us, and our ties to the earth we tread on.

Peasants
Makers of the Modern World
Maryam As/any
A landmark global history for our age of crises, Peasants tells the story of the world's most overlooked majority
For centuries, peasants were at the heart of civilization, yet industrial modernity forced them into obscurity, and so the world came to view them asobsolete.Today, policy-makers, economists and urban elites speak as if peasants no longer exist. But they do-two billion peasants produce a third of the world's food, while also absorbing the impacts of climate change, corporateland grabs and political neglect.
This book restores this vast global class to visibility.
Urgent and timely, Peasants speaks directly to our current political and economic moment; food insecurity, migration crises, climate change, rural depopulation and global inequality all converge on the story of peasantry. Understanding the history of the world's largest forgotten class is crucial, for it offers pathways to our own ecological survival; and it is one we cannot afford to ignore anylonger.
Dr Maryam Aslany is a Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellow at Yale University and Ca' Foscari University of Venice. She is also a researcher at Oxford University, where she works on climatechange adaptation in the agrarianregionsofSouth Asia. Born and raised in Iran, she has alsolived in India and, for the last elevenyears, in the UK.

Deep Into the Sixties
Britain 1965-66
David Kynaston
The next instalment of David Kynaston's 'Tales of a New Jerusalem' series, this time taking onBritainin the heady throes of the Swinging Sixties
It's the heart of theSixties in Britain-the Beatles are enjoyingunprecedentedsuccess in the charts, England wins the World Cup at Wembley and optimism and patriotism percolate through the streets, But this is not the full story of mid-Sixties Britain. Disaffection on the political leftloomed as a result of theVietnam War. The catastrophic collapseof the spoil tip in Aberfan killed over 100 people.
This is a time of looking both backwards and forwards-sweeping reforms to secondary education, the burgeoning contemporarypopularcultureand theinventionof the teenager underpin the advent of a new generation. And yet the everyday life for many, especially beyondthethrivingmetropoles, bore striking resemblance todecadesearlier.
Spanning February 1965 to July 1966, Kynaston uses a plethora of contemporary sources to paint a rich andportraitof a Britainon the brink of change.
David Kynaston has written eighteen books, including 'The City of London' series, a widely acclaimedfour-volumehistory, and WG's Birthday Party, an account of the Gentleman v. Players match at Lord's in July 1898. He is the author of the 'Tales of a New Jerusalem' series, coveringthe history of post-war Britain (1945-1979).

Battle
The Moments that Transformed Warfare from Ancient Greece to Ukraine
lain MacGregor
A richly detailed exploration of the most significant battles of the last 3000 years and how they transformedhistory
For centuries, battles have determined the fate of nations, toppled empires and reshaped civilisations. In Battle, award-winning historian lain MacGregor charts the key encounters that have shaped the evolution of warfare-from the clash of hoplite spears at Marathon to the drone warfare of modern Ukraine.
Far more than a chronicle of triumphs and defeats, Battle delves into the human and technological driving forces behind history's most decisive clashes: the brilliance-andhubris -of leadership, the revolutionary impact of new weaponry, the fragile lifeline of supply, and theendurance of morale-the lifeblood of any army. Famous commanders from Julius Caesar to Napoleon are seen afresh as MacGregor examines the units they led, the weapons they used and the tactics that broughtthem victory.
Panoramic in scope yet alive with vivid detail, Battle is a gripping narrative of how war has been fought-and how it has shaped the world we live in today.
lain MacGregor has worked in non-fiction publishing for thirty years, editing major historians such as Simon Schama, Max Hastings, Michael Wood and Richard Overy. Over the past decade he has established himself as an award-winning writerwhosemostrecentbook, The Hiroshima Men, was published in2025 to much acclaim. He is a Fellowof the Royal Historical Society.
Patricia Lockwood
A new collection(s) of poetry from Booker Prize finalist and 'voice of a generation' Patricia Lockwood
Many have called Patricia Lockwood a wordsmith, but in the latest iteration of her life, she has become, quite literally, a metalsmith too. Stones, gems, metals, fossils - she forges them into bodies, faces, and, with her typical irreverence, vaginas.
In these poems, a robot dog discovers the Lascaux caves in France, Jane Austen shoots a perfect 147. A rock gets a girlfriend. The Pope blesses McLovin (kind of). Lockwood's most successful work of metal- and wordsmithing yet is her blend of the Internet world with the natural one, as she slips meme references and algospeak into evocations of geological time, explorations oforganicbodies, and observations ofyouth.
Her most personal collection of poetry yet, you may find you understand yourself - and Patricia - more than you'd like to by the end,
Patricia Lockwood is the author of four books, including No One Is Talking About This, an internationalbestsellerwhich was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Women's Prize for Fiction, and translated into twenty languages. Lockwood's work has appeared in the New York Times, New Yorker and London Review ofBooks, where she is a contributing editor.

This is what happens when women read.
Julianna Glasse is a mother, an inspira onal speaker, author and University of Oxford alumna. Her success in the Chris an industry as a pop singer included publishing three books, seven music releases, performing at the Na onal Prayer Breakfast for the President, receiving an honorary PhD, and speaking to crowds of ten thousand women at a me.

The Actual
lnua El/ams
Featuring additional essays from the author, a new edition of the Rathbone Folio-longlisted collection by the firebrand poetand playwright
The Actual is a symphony of personal and political fury sometimes probing delicately, sometimesburning with raw energy.In poems that swerve and crackle with a rare music, lnua Ellams unleashes a full-throated assault on empire and its legacies of racism, injustice andtoxicmasculinity.
Written on the author's phone, in transit, between meetings, before falling asleep and just after waking, this is poetry as polemic, as an act of resistance, but also as dream-vision.At its heart, this book confronts theabsolutism and 'foolishmachismo'of hero culture from Perseus to Trump, from Batman to Baka Haram.Through the thick gauze of history, these breathtaking poems looktheworld square inthefaceandask, 'What theactual ... ?'
lnuaEllams is a UK-based poet, playwright and performer who has written for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, and the BBC. His published books of poetry include Candy Coated Unicorns and ConverseAll Stars, Thirteen Fairy Negro Tales, The WireHeaded Heathen, #Afterhours and The Actual.

Here and Beyond
Six hundred humans journey into the darkness of space in search of a new home in this mesmerising speculative debut
'A rousing achievement' Courttia Newland, author ofA River Called Time
After the collapse of life on Earth as it once was known, 600 people are selected for passage on Shipworld, a spacecraftcharting a 360-yearvoyageto a newplanet. Their mission will see generation after generation born, living and dying on board - until one day their descendants finally step foot on the 'Super Earth' that might offer the last chance for humankind's survival.
But life aboard Shipworld is far from a waiting game. The spacecraft promises a world of its own, a harmonious system free of class distinctionsand wealth accumulation. Yet with each generation of passengers, new challenges arise - from creeping doubts about the nature of reality to an outbreak of disease that could eradicate their population, from rebels who threaten the unity of the mission to a traumatic encounter with a mysterious space phenomenon.

Bread of Angels
Patti Smith
A radiant new memoir from beloved artist and writer Patti Smith, author of the National Book AwardWinnerJustKids.
'God whispers through a crease in the wallpaper', writes Patti Smith in this indelible account of her life as an artist. A post-Second World War childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex. We enter the child's world of the imagination where Smith, the captain of her loyal sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises and searches for sacred silver pennies.
The most intimate of Smith's memoirs, Bread ofAngels takes us through her teenage years where Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative heroes as Patti starts to write poetry, then lyrics, merging both into iconic recordings such as Horses and 'Because the Night'. Sheleaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.
As Smith suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again. In the final pages, we meet Patti on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.
Patti Smith is a writer, performer and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary merging of poetry and rock. She has released twelve albums, including Horses, hailed as one of the top 100 albums of all time by Rolling Stone. Her books include Just Kids (winnerof the NationalBook Award in 2010), Witt, Babel, Woo/gathering, The Coral Sea,AuguriesofInnocence, M Train and Year ofthe Monkey. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Smith resides in New York City.
