It is an expansive, mind-bending examination of civilization, survival, and the terrible choices provoked by contact with a hostile cosmos.

A riotously funny yet deeply honest collection of illustrated personal essays that pairs crude, childlike drawings with sharp observational humor and unflinching accounts of anxiety, depression, and the small disasters of everyday life. Through absurd retellings of childhood antics, internet-era mishaps, and earnest — often hilariously misguided — attempts to solve mundane and emotional problems, the work moves seamlessly between laugh-out-loud comedy and surprising vulnerability, offering both cathartic relatability and moments of genuine poignancy.

Set in a small town in northeastern Brazil, the novel follows the repercussions of the theft of a saint’s head from the local church: the missing relic unsettles family ties, awakens old loves and rivalries, and forces neighbors to reckon with the uneasy mix of Catholic devotion and Afro-Brazilian beliefs that shapes their lives. Told with sly humor and touches of magical realism, the story weaves together grief, desire and superstition as secrets surface and characters seek unexpected forms of redemption.

This book argues that people can go beyond ordinary limits by changing their thoughts, emotions and habits to rewire brain and body chemistry; drawing on neuroscience, epigenetics and interpretations of quantum theory, it presents a model in which focused intention, heart–brain coherence and meditative practices produce measurable physiological changes that enable healing and manifestation. It combines scientific explanations, practical meditations and breathwork exercises with anecdotal case studies to show how persistent inner rehearsal and emotional shifting can break conditioned patterns, alter identity, and open access to expanded states of consciousness and extraordinary capacities.

It features the War Doctor as played by John Hurt.

A clear-eyed analysis of how fossil-fuel interests and allied actors have shifted from outright denial to a subtler campaign of delay and diversion—promoting individual blame, sowing doubt, greenwashing, doomism, and narrow techno-fix narratives—to block meaningful policy; the book exposes these tactics, explains why focusing solely on personal choices is insufficient, and calls for defending climate science, countering misinformation, and pursuing systemic political and economic solutions (strong regulation, public investment in clean energy, and mass civic engagement) to achieve real emissions reductions.

The book argues that the planet’s ecosystems and the services they provide are being systematically undervalued, leading to environmental degradation, and that modern economies must explicitly recognise and price ‘natural capital’ to avert collapse. It critiques current measures like GDP and perverse subsidies, explains how markets and institutions fail to account for ecosystem services, and sets out a practical policy framework—natural capital accounting, stronger regulation, reform of taxes and subsidies, carbon pricing, tradable pollution rights, and new governance bodies—to align incentives, restore habitats and sustain long-term prosperity.

A practical, pattern-based guide to designing and retrofitting American cities and communities for environmental sustainability; it synthesizes principles and illustrative precedents into clear design patterns that operate at multiple scales—from regional planning and urban form down to neighborhoods, streetscapes, and individual buildings. The book examines land use, transportation, energy, water, materials, and green building strategies, using case studies to demonstrate how compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented, and resource-efficient approaches can reduce carbon emissions and enhance resilience. It also outlines policy tools, metrics, and implementation steps aimed at planners, architects, and policymakers seeking measurable, equitable paths toward healthier, more sustainable communities.

A clear-eyed critique of current climate policy that argues we must be realistic about costs, trade-offs and technologies if we are to actually eliminate greenhouse-gas emissions: it calls for honest accounting rather than optimistic promises, market-based mechanisms (not endless subsidies), prioritizing proven low‑carbon options including nuclear and carbon capture where appropriate, caution about overreliance on offsets and unproven solutions, and stronger, more pragmatic government planning to achieve emissions reductions while protecting energy security and consumers.

A lively, accessible account of how human technologies—from tracking devices and drones to plastics and large-scale infrastructure—reshape wild animals’ lives, sometimes aiding conservation and sometimes causing new harms; through engaging case studies and clear science writing it highlights unexpected consequences, animal ingenuity, and the need for humility and better-designed solutions.

A hypnotic, metafictional meditation in which a narrator becomes consumed by the life and work of a nineteenth-century author of sea tales, using fragments of biography, criticism, dreams and family memory to blur the line between reading and living. The prose drifts between obsession and tenderness as it maps how stories—whales, oceans, shipwrecks and solitary sailors—shape identity, exile and the act of storytelling itself. Playful and elegiac, the book collapses genres to examine how language and literary inheritance haunt and sustain the writer and reader alike.

Set in contemporary Kolkata, the novel follows three interlinked lives after a deadly incident on a commuter train: an impoverished Muslim gym instructor whose impulsive social-media comment is spun into a terrorism charge; an ambitious young woman from the margins who sacrifices everything for a shot at stardom; and a self-serving political operator who exploits the scandal to advance his career. As courtrooms, news cycles, and rumor take over, the story exposes how hunger, ambition, and rising nationalism warp justice and destroy relationships.

Set on the storm-lashed coasts of a Viking-age kingdom, this tense historical saga follows a family shattered by conquest and betrayal as survivors navigate seafaring raids, shifting allegiances, and brutal politics to reclaim power. A fiercely determined woman who survives captivity becomes a strategist and survivor in a world where loyalty is fragile, while the displaced heir gathers allies and wages daring campaigns to regain his birthright. The novel blends vividly rendered battle and maritime life with quieter scenes of loyalty, identity, and the moral costs of vengeance and rule.

A fierce, lyrical memoir chronicling a young woman's audacious decision to enter the world’s longest horse race, a thousand-mile Mongolian endurance run, where inadequate preparation, brutal terrain and extreme weather force raw survival and an urgent, intimate bond with the horses she rides. Through wild landscapes, rough encounters with fellow riders and local herders, and episodes of injury, hallucination and reckoning, the journey becomes a crucible that strips away romanticism and reveals depths of resilience, loneliness and fierce self-discovery. The narrative blends humor, brutality and tenderness to probe the limits of risk, the nature of freedom and the strange, sustaining solace of animals.

A practical, approachable guide that reframes beauty as simple, low-effort rituals for busy people, offering straightforward skincare, haircare and makeup tips alongside gentle self-care practices; it emphasizes sustainable, time-friendly routines and small habits that boost confidence, calm and everyday wellbeing rather than chasing perfection.

A hybrid, multilingual poetic meditation that maps linguistic and bodily drift across seas and histories, assembling fragments—from Old Norse echoes and archival traces to contemporary reportage and spoken rhythms—into a collage about migration, memory, climate and the erosion of language and borders; through translation, repetition and sonic play it traces how words and people are carried, transformed and lost by currents of time, water and political movement.

A bracing, candid collection that brings together earlier work and new poems to map a restless, autobiographical voice across love, desire, gender, and urban life. The pieces mix fierce political critique, wry humor, and intimate confession, using conversational diction and sharp imagery to interrogate fame, family, sexuality, and the craft of writing. Ranging from tender observation to outraged manifesto, the poems continually search for selfhood and belonging, transforming ordinary moments into luminous, unsparing lyric statements.
