The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century and has sold over 2 million copies.'Possibly the best scientific primer ever published.' Economist'Truly impressive...It's hard to imagine a better rough guide to science.' Guardian'A travelogue of science, with a witty, engaging, and well-informed guide' The TimesBill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us.Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. As a result, A Short History of Nearly Everything reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

The epic fantasy sequence continues with the new book from the bestselling author of Gardens of the Moon.A goddess awakens to a new world, only to find that some things never change.Amidst the ashes of a failed rebellion in Seven Cities, new embers are flaring to life.There are furrowed brows at the beleaguered Malazan Legion headquarters in G’danisban for it would appear that yet another bloody clash with the revived cult of the Apocalyptic is coming to a head.Seeking to crush the uprising before it ignites the entire subcontinent, Fist Arenfall has only a few dozen squads of marines at his disposal, and many of those are already dispersed - endeavouring to stamp out multiple brush-fires of dissent. But his soldiers are exhausted, worn down by the grind of a simmering insurrection and the last thing Arenfall needs is the arrival of the new Adjunct, fresh from the capital and the Emperor's side.The man's mission may be to lend support to Arenfall’s efforts . . . or stick a knife in his back. 'Twas ever thus, of course. That a popular commander should inevitably be seen as a threat to the Emperor - such is the fatal nature of imperial Malazan politics.And what of the gods? Well, as recent history has proved, their solution to any mortal mess is to make it even messier. In other words, it's just another tumultuous day in the chequered history of the Malazan Empire.Acclaim for The God is Not Willing:'Awe-inspiring. Prepare to fall in love with epic fantasy all over again.' ANNA SMITH SPARK, author of The Court of Broken Knives'As good as I expected it to be . . . Erikson continues to showcase his talents as an impressive wordsmith . . . mesmerising and memorable. Add to this intense battles, witty banter, advanced warfare, new curses, new gods, and escapades with warrens and this world's supernatural and you'll see why I had such a good time.' GRIMDARK magazine'It is beautiful, it is captivating and utterly enthralling . . . Erikson is unparalleled in both the scope of his imagination and the talent of his prose, but more importantly, he is as insightful and funny as Terry Pratchett ever was.' FANTASY BOOK REVIEW'Erikson at the top of his game, a lean, sharply honed and powerful addition to what is already in my mind the pre-eminent fantasy universe of the last few decades.' TOR.COM'Determined, focused, well-paced and immensely rich novel of war, peace, hubris, consequence, sorcery and compassion . . . this is Erikson bringing his A-game, turned up to 11, and delivering what is comfortably one of his three or four best novels to date.' THE WERTZONE'Could be Erikson's most accessible novel to date . . . a must for all Malazan fans.' FANTASY HOTLIST'Erikson burnishes his reputation as a superior epic fantasy world-builder . . . a treat both for his returning readers and lovers of George R.R. Martin-style epic fantasy who have yet to discover his work.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *starred review

🐸 🏰 When falling for the brooding, off-limits boss means excusing his magical murder plots and enduring a sassy amphibian sidekick – all because you love a bad boy… 🏰 🐸✨ The third book in the bestselling fantasy rom-com series from the TikTok sensation about the sunshine assistant to the grumpy evil villain and their unexpected romance… ✨REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.”Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire?or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain.Readers are OBSESSED with Hannah Nicole Maehrer...⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ‘This book [has] my whole heart … I need more.

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR THAT KICKSTARTED ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN’S FALL FROM GRACE***A WATERSTONES PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR 2026***‘If books can shape history, this is one.’ Daily Mail** WINNER OF THE OVERALL BOOK OF THE YEAR, BEST NARRATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AND FREEDOM TO PUBLISH AWARD AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2026 **The book that's changing the world. An empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice.Now with a new afterword by Virginia's collaborator, Amy Wallace.In April 2025, Virginia Roberts Giuffre took her own life. Known as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim, she left behind a memoir and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. An unsparing and definitive account of her time trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and her subsequent daring escape, Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.An astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to fight for a safer, fairer world for others—the book is testament to her bravery in holding her abusers to account. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever.Praise for Nobody’s Girl‘Both devastating and uplifting . . . fearless and frank – angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.’ Emily Maitlis‘Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering . . . devastating.’ The Times‘Startling . . . demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity.’ Independent‘It is a personal triumph that [Virginia Roberts Giuffre] chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost.’ Observer‘Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero . . . Important [and] courageous.’ Guardian
