A sequel to Michael Walsh's Last Stands, his new book A Rage to Conquer is a journey through the twelve of the most important battles in Western history.

Workman Publishing Something in the Woods Loves You
Book SynopsisAn inspiring blend of nature writing and memoir that explores nature’s crucial role in our emotional and mental health Bats can hear shapes, plants can eat light, and bees can dance maps. When his life took him to a painfully dark place, the poet behind The CryptoNaturalist, Jarod K. Anderson, found comfort and redemption in these facts and the shift in perspective that comes from paying a new kind of attention to nature. Something in the Woods Loves You tells the story of the darkest stretch of a young person’s life, and how deliberate and meditative encounters with plants and animals helped him see the light at every turn. Ranging from optimistic contemplations of mortality to appreciations of a single mushroom, Anderson has written a lyrical love letter to the natural world and given us the tools to see it all anew.

Cornerstone Take Care
Book Synopsis*Available for Pre-order Now* The life-affirming memoir of Lindsey Burrow, the working mother of three young children who has inspired the nation through her selfless commitment to husband Rob Burrow (CBE), the rugby league legend she cared for throughout his heroic battle with motor neurone disease (MND). A story of compassion, perseverance and love. By sharing her story, Lindsey is shining a light on those who are dealing with incredibly difficult situations, putting other's needs before their own and making great personal sacrifices every day. I hope this book provides all those going through their own challenges with some comfort and optimism, and that it inspires us all to look out for one another.' Prince William 'A tender, powerful and life affirming book by one of the bravest people I know. The story of Lindsey, Rob and their amazing children will make you want to live every day to the fullest.' Kevin Sinfield, CBE*Foreword by HRH Prince William* *A Pride of Britain Award Winner* Lindsey is inspirational' BBC Breakfast Superwoman' Daily Mail______________________________________________________________________ Take Care: A Memoir of Love, Family & Never Giving Up explores the deepest reserves of resilience, personal sacrifice and hope that Lindsey Burrow exhibited on a daily basis when her family's life was upended by the terminal MND diagnosis. Juggling her day job for the NHS as a physiotherapist, with round-the-clock care for Rob, who couldn't move or talk, and could only eat with Lindsey's assistance, she simultaneously raised her brilliant young family and helped to raise awareness for MND. The efforts of Rob, Lindsey and Kevin Sinfield have raised over 15 million for charity. In 2024, Lindsey presented her debut ITV1 documentary, Who Cares for Our Carers?' which highlighted the emotional and practical hardships faced by thousands of her fellow unpaid carers, whose hidden work is worth an estimated 162bn a year in the UK, the equivalent of another NHS. Told in Lindsey's characteristically humble, charming and inspirational style, Take Care explores her life and shares her honest experiences of finding strength in the good and the bad times, in order to offer readers and families hope to overcome challenges in their own lives. The book sheds a light on the many families across the UK who care for their loved ones with little support. Finally, the book is a rousing call to action, for us all as a society to take better care of one another. ____________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for what you are teaching us, about what it is to fight, what it is to love, and what it is possible for us to do and to be as human beings' Michael Sheen, Pride of Britain Awards 2023, to Rob and Lindsey Burrow Lindsey's strength and love shines through' Lorraine, ITV You are an inspirational couple' Loose Women ITV Lindsey and Rob Burrow's moving love story from teenage sweethearts to 'superhero' wife' has stood the test of time - overcoming the hardest and most heartbreaking of challenges.

Book SynopsisCinema is becoming less and less sexy; yet more and more people are rallying against sex on screen. What could explain this growing anti-sex sentiment among the producers and consumers of screen culture? The sex scene's intimacies, transgressions, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from it. Why is the sex scene, demonised as it is, therefore more politically important and subversive than ever? Revolutionary Desires seeks to answer that question.

A fabulous romp of a book, part John le Carré, part Ealing comedy compulsively readable'SUNDAY TIMESTells the story of the author's unique childhood and the extraordinary, shadowy lives of his mother and father'SUNDAY TELEGRAPHTruth is stranger than fiction 'INDEPENDENTReads like a Cold War thriller written by John le Carré with an added injection of wry humour'BBC SATURDAY LIVEIt has always been inculcated into me that no good could ever come of having anything to do with my fatherAs a boy, Alistair Wood lived within the (very high) walls of a Secret Intelligence Service or MI6 training camp, surrounded by some of the most senior - and colourful - characters in SIS history. After all, he was family. His mother was one of a handful of women to have operated behind the lines in post-war Berlin. His father, once one of Britain's most highly-regarded intelligence officers, was an absent and perplexing figure, the reasons for his sudden departure from the Service still classified to this day. But Wood's search for the truth took him on a journey more remarkable than even he had imagined. My Family and Other Spies is a gripping exploration of an extraordinary, scarcely believable life, a globe-trotting spy story that spans a half century from the gathering storm before the Second World War to the fall of Communism, and a son's reckoning with the secrets of the past. 'Simply stunning ... might be the best non-fiction book I've ever read about post-war SIS' CHARLES BEAUMONTA remarkable insight into British intelligence in the Cold Warwith all the intrigue and suspense of a truly gripping espionage novel' ALEX GERLISThis is very entertaining a fascinating biography STEPHEN DORRIL, author of MI6: 50 Years of Special Operations'A compelling personal journey to uncover the truth and an intimate view into one of Britain's most secretive organisations' HELEN FRY'The intriguing story of how the author peels back the cloak of mystery surrounding his father, a member of the Secret Intelligence Service.
