Adam Weymouth

In 2011, a young wolf named Slavc set out from Slovenia. Traced by GPS, he travelled a thousand miles through the Alps, arriving four months later on the Lessinian plateau, north of Verona. There had been no wolves in northern Italy for a century, but here he crossed paths with a female wolf on a walkabout of her own. A decade later and there are more than a hundred wolves back in the area, the result of their remarkable meeting. 
 
In Lone Wolf, Weymouth walks Slavc's path, examining the changes facing these wild corners of Europe. Here, the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture; nationalism and globalisation pull apart; climate change is radically changing lives; and migrants, too, are on the move. 
 
The result is a multifaceted account of a region caught in a moment of kaleidoscopic flux, from an award-winning writer with a uniquely perceptive eye for detail.

Olympic-winning Strategies for Everyday Success

Andy Wilman

Top Gear turned gloomy Sunday nights into celebratory Friday nights. It made household names of presenters Clarkson, Hammond and May, their unique chemistry and buddy movie antics proving irresistible to a global audience, earning them the Guinness World Record for the world's most popular factual TV show. Then, a short while later, it was gone. How did a thoroughly sensible little consumer advice programme on cars become a global phenomenon? How did it all go wrong? And how did they rise from the ashes as The Grand Tour? One man has all the answers - co-creator, and Jeremy’s oldest friend, Andy Wilman.

A sizzling new adult sports romance, for fans of Heated Rivalry, Challengers, Carrie Soto is Back and Red, White and Royal Blue. 
 
Game. Set. Perfect Match? 
 
Recently-turned-pro tennis player Austin Hardy has been out since high school, and it’s never been a big deal. That is, until he becomes the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam tournament. Suddenly, being gay is a huge deal. 
 
If the newly found fame wasn’t enough to send Austin spiralling, then tripping and falling in front of the very talented, very attractive, (probably) straight World #2, Diego Cruz, is the last straw. 
 
Only, the awkward gaffe marks the start of a blossoming friendship off the court. But when Diego admits his attraction to Austin, the flirty banter and mixed signals start to throw Austin off his game. And neither player wants to acknowledge their looming showdown at the fourth round of the US Open. 
 
Only one can win in the game of tennis, but who will win in the game of love?

Michael Calvin

'The great book on 1966 that needed writing.' 
PAUL HAYWARD, OBSERVER 
 
'Panoramic and polemic.' 
JONATHAN NORTHCROFT, SUNDAY TIMES 
- 
A vivid portrait of the world in 1966, centred around the storied World Cup tournament and its backdrop, published to mark the 60th anniversary. 
 
1966, with London declared ‘a swinging city’ and John Lennon proclaiming the Beatles ‘more popular than Jesus’, the year’s football World Cup convenes an international community standing at an inflection point, emerging from the long shadow of the Second World War and hurtling towards the future. 
 
Propelled by social change, civil rights movements and technological advancement serve as beacons of hope and possibility. Yet, Cold War tensions, the escalation of the Vietnam War, and the space race between America and the Soviet Union project a different image. As China’s Cultural Revolution begins, and talks are initiated to reunify Germany, football has the potential to inflame ideological rivalries, unite old enemies, and allow nations to demonstrate their prowess on a global stage. 
 
Through the prism of the extraordinary tournament and the eight teams that reached the quarter finals – England, West Germany, Uruguay, Argentina, Portugal, Soviet Union, North Korea and Hungary – Michael Calvin provides a vivid portrait of a critical moment in world history. Examining the sporting, social and cultural significance of the competition and its backdrop, this hugely entertaining book brings to life a world and a sport caught in a tide of change, and shows how this critical year would change both forever.

'England’s one World Cup victory needed this book. An absorbing account of what 1966 actually meant... by the writer who has covered more aspects of how the English game actually works than any other.'

'Meticulous and devastating... Read this book to learn the truth about the game you love' 
Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland 
 
A cheeky flutter. All part of the game. Get closer to the action. A friendly, familiar voice, inviting you to join the real fans and get involved. What harm could it do… 
 
It has never been easier to stake a bet. Wall to wall adverts have hijacked every sporting event – the mobile slot machine in your pocket all you need to enter an immersive world in which gambling is faceless and frictionless, available 24/7, on almost any aspect of any sport. 
 
Since its origins as a provincial cottage industry almost twenty-five years ago, online gambling has become a globe-straddling behemoth worth more than £10 billion a year. It can sometimes feel as if the point of sport is to bet on it. 
 
How did we get here? How did a new wave of gambling brands hijack sport on a global scale? In Imitation Games, Darragh McGee travels the world to tell the incredible story of the digital brands who unleashed this new world of gambling onto a new generation of fans (and got very rich doing so). 
 
At the same time, he traces the harm and human cost that gambling leaves behind, and shows how we can create a different future for sport and society. Because when the fun stops, it stops hard. 
 
'At last we have a book that explains how we let this happen, what the real costs of the industry are, and what sport might do about it' 
David Goldblatt, author of The Game of our Lives 
 
'McGee takes readers on a gripping journey'Natasha Schüll, author of Addiction by Design

How Gambling Hijacked Sport

Luke Rowe

A rare insight into the heart of pro cycling and the inner workings of the peloton, from Team Sky and Ineos Grenadiers legend, Luke Rowe. 
 
There’s one well-established truth in professional cycling: the strongest always wins. Yet in a sport of champions, victory is only possible as a team. At the heart of that team effort, that unity, is the road captain. 
 
After more than a decade as the pre-eminent road captain in professional bike racing, Luke Rowe reveals here for the first time the intricacies of that role. As he lifts the lid, he provides the ultimate insider’s view on racing tactics and strategy within the professional peloton. He gives readers an unprecedented insight into what exactly is going on within that pulsing mass of athletic power and state-of-the-art machinery, seen through the eyes of the rider tasked with leading his team to glory. 
 
Featuring exhilarating stories from his years at Team Sky and Ineos Grenadiers – where he played a fundamental role in the team’s dominance at the Tour de France, leading Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal to their Tour victories – Luke shows what it’s like to manage a road race unfolding at 60km/h. As he points out, it is ‘like playing chess on wheels’. 
 
Road Captain immerses readers in the team dynamics, tactical complexities and split-second decisions vital to success in professional cycling. It discloses the mental and physical battles taking place within a group of riders, and reveals how the biggest bike races are won.

Oisin Murphy

'A GRIPPING AND INCREDIBLY HONEST INSIGHT INTO OUR SPORT, FROM ONE OF RACING’S MOST EXCITING TALENTS' FRANKIE DETTORI 
 
‘AN ASTONISHINGLY HONEST ACCOUNT OF WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING A PROFESSIONAL JOCKEY.' DAILY TELEGRAPH 
 
THE THRILLING AND SEARINGLY HONEST MEMOIR FROM FIVE-TIME CHAMPION JOCKEY OISIN MURPHY. 
 
Born prematurely, weighing less than a bag of sugar, Oisin Murphy’s life has always been one of struggle. 
 
From a young age he found communion with horses. Mesmerised by their power, their spirit, he discovered a gift for the saddle. Oisin quickly established himself as one of horseracing’s most prodigious talents. 
 
But reaching the pinnacle of the sport has required a high-wire dance that continues to push his body and mind to their breaking point. Despite four champion jockey crowns, alcohol addiction lurked beneath the surface, and a string of misdemeanours have overshadowed his racing. 
 
Fast paced and searingly honest, Sacrifice lays bare Oisin’s personal struggles and immerses readers in the daily life of a jockey throughout an entire season. 
 
From the countless unseen hours of horse work to the psychological turmoil of racing, the private agony of wasting, and the vital community of the weighing room, it pulls back the curtain and examines the fine line between elite performance and personal destruction in a sport that demands nothing less than total obsession. 
 
Part-autobiography, part-diary written in real-time, this incredible and immersive memoir charts Oisin Murphy's year in the saddle, laying bare the pressures of life at the pinnacle of horse-racing.

Duncan Ferguson

They don't make footballers - and football autobiographies - like this any more. The brutally honest, riotously entertaining story of the much-loved Everton legend and iconic Premier League bad boy. 
 
Praised by Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the greatest and most passionate players to ever play the game, Duncan Ferguson, or Big Dunc as he is known, is larger than life in every sense. Measuring a towering 6 feet 4 inches in height, from the moment the striker emerged in British football in the 1990s, he was front and back page news. On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners. Like his rival Roy Keane, he played close to the limit, and often crossed it. Such as the time he was sentenced to 3 months in Glasgow’s toughest prison for headbutting an opponent – the first and only time a footballer has ever gone to jail for a crime committed on a football pitch. 
 
In BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography, Duncan reveals, for the first time, the full story: the truth about his experiences in prison, his partying with African princes and Liverpool gangsters, his fighting with burglars, his making and losing a fortune, and how he turned his life around through his beloved Everton F.C.. In the process, the book sheds light on one of football’s most charismatic but notorious and enigmatic hardmen. Duncan has also been a manager and a coach. He is a pillar of the community in Merseyside, giving back to stricken children who share a similar tough upbringing to his own. Duncan's book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of humour, drama and redemption. Buckle up.

Guy Martin

Guy’s been pushing himself to the outer limits, as usual. There's no medals, no big ceremony at the end of it all. He's just driven by putting himself through the misery. And coming out smiling. 
 
In search of suffering, Guy went to Colombia for the TV job, where he was kidnapped, tortured and shot at. He's also been to the Arctic to join the Royal Marines at their winter training centre, taking on the most James Bond exercises he's ever done while still seriously injured from a motorbike crash that knocked him unconcious. 
 
Off the telly, Guy's gone on two epic bike rides, spanning over a dozen countries, led by his sat nav along multi-lane motorways and up remote goat tracks, sleeping on the roadside. He's been to Mablethorpe Beach, the destination for racing things that shouldn't be raced; he's entered one of the toughest motorcycle endurance events in the world (twice); and he's been working on the '300mph job' - that's the world record he's going for and he's building a bike to get him there. 
 
Read on, and let Guy Martin take you with him on his travels to the brink.

Michael Arkush

So, who’s the best of 'em all? Tiger Woods? Jack Nicklaus? Bobby Jones? Ben Hogan? Golf fans will disagree until the end of time, but one thing is certain: For well over 100 years, the sport has provided its share of spectacular careers and indelible moments. And what about fan favorites such as Phil Mickelson, Nancy Lopez, and Lee Trevino? Where do they rank on the list? Or modern players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Nelly Korda, and Justin Thomas. Did they make the final cut—and if so, where? 
 
In a joyride through golf history itself, New York Times bestselling author Michael Arkush establishes a ranking system that places a heavy emphasis on the game’s major championships and profiles the most accomplished and impactful golfers ever—men and women, known and unknown. Arkush captures the flair, as well as the flaws, of athletes who are intensely competitive, funny, peculiar, or larger-than-life. Crafted from hundreds of interviews and longtime relationships developed over a quarter century, The Golf 100 is an immensely entertaining read.

UPDATED WITH A NEW CHAPTER 
 
With a foreword by McLaren CEO Zak Brown and written with exclusive inside access, this is the real-time, unfolding story of one of F1’s greatest ever teams, rising back up from oblivion. 
 
Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, although in recent years their performance hadn’t living up to the legend, they have now returned to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown. 
 
Going into 2023, Brown’s team were the ninth quickest on the grid only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. It was only in 2024 that lead driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami. The following year he became world champion. 
 
Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his dynamic leadership style has seen astounding results. McLaren are on the rise again, looking to a future that will echo its haloed past, when James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton drove the team into the history books. Here they go again. 
 
The McLaren motto is ‘Forever Forward’, and their story is all about the underdog taking on the big boys of F1. The author looks back at McLaren’s origin story, as their heritage is such a big part of their identity, but his main mission is going behind the scenes to give us the inside track on the team's extraordinary resurgence under Brown, and their thrilling bid for victory.

Ellie Kildunne

'Lukewarm is no good.' 
 
As a youngster, Ellie Kildunne was told girls don’t play rugby. But that’s what she was good at, and she was determined to find a way. 
 
Growing up in Yorkshire, Ellie started playing rugby aged six with a boys’ team, which she continued to do until she was 13, constantly having to prove herself as the only girl. Then, her mum found out about some local U15 trials for girls. She went along, made the team, and thus began the career of an England rugby great. 
 
But to achieve greatness in sport is not an easy journey. Ellie has faced prejudice. She has fought through career-threatening injury. While the hyperfocus superpower that is part of her ADHD has driven her to surpass the competition, it brings with it a difference in the way she processes information that has led to misunderstandings and conflict, at school, at college and in her professional life. 
 
Ellie’s guiding philosophy is ‘Lukewarm is no good’. Her passion for rugby was always white hot. The fire will never go out, and the setbacks have made her stronger. She’s smashing through barriers, and spurs us all on to achieve our goals, whatever our path in life. 
 
On and off the field, Ellie is a game changer. 
 
 
'An inspirational player who creates moments of outrageous brilliance from nowhere.' Sir Clive Woodward 
 
'What Ellie and the Red Roses achieved on home soil last year was a privilege to watch. We may play different sports, but wearing our country’s shirt is something that connects us all. Ellie sets incredible standards for herself and her team. The consistency behind her performances and the energy she brings lifts you off your seat. 
 
It’s not just about winning games, it’s about the example she sets and the belief she gives the next generation that we as women belong on the biggest stage.' Chloe Kelly 
 
‘The growth of women’s rugby in England has been a huge positive for sport in this country. Ellie Kildunne and the Red Roses have done an incredible job of inspiring the nation, not just through their successes but with the way they play the game.’ Ben Youngs

Despite the bleak expectations set by his family, Ken harboured dreams far beyond the confines of his upbringing.Ken eventually broke free from the gritty streets of his youth to the high-stakes world of Wall Street, where he carved out a successful career. Yet, beneath the veneer of success, he battled a decade-long addiction to opioids, spending his hard-earned wealth on pills. The turning point came with the adoption of a daughter from overseas—a wake-up call to become the father and man he always dreamed of being.Running became Ken’s salvation.

Praise for Ken Rideout 
 
“Ken is the most driven person I know. Incredible life story, athlete, family man, business mind, personal ethics, work ethics, friend. Run for office, Ken!” – Andrew Huberman 
 
“Ken Rideout’s life story about his time working in a Boston penitentiary to becoming a highly successful investor and broadcaster is the stuff of movies. As the combination of Rich Roll and Dave Goggins, his achievement in marathons and family inspire me.” – Dr. David Sinclair 
 
“Ken’s story of metamorphosis is one of the most compelling, improbable, and inspirational tales I have ever heard.” – Rich Roll 
 
“Ken Rideout is the rare motivator whose message is backed by a life of extraordinary experience. Social media is a grossly oversaturated space, filled with hucksters and bullshit artists and pseudo-inspiration. Ken Ridout is the thunderclap that drowns out that noise with essential lessons from his truly unbelievable life of hardship and achievement.” – Casey Neistat 
 
“I came across one of your posts and you were saying ‘you gotta exercise like your life depends on it because it does.’ I’m right there with you, brother. I appreciate you, man, I appreciate all your hard work. I was really inspired by going on your Instagram page so I’m gonna hit the gym and do my best to run through a wall now.” – Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Everything You Want Is on the Other Side of Hard

Nick Butter

In the spring of 2021, as the UK's latest pandemic lockdowns were lifted, Nick Butter set out from the Eden Project to become the fastest person to cover every mile of Britain's mainland coastline on foot. 
 
Battling the most extreme winds Britain had seen in 100 years, days of torrential rain and the unrelenting hills of Western Scotland and Cornwall, Nick suffered two broken bones and countless injuries, whilst taking on two marathons a day, every day, for 100 days. 
 
Covering an extraordinary 5,250 miles, running for over 12 hours a day, struggling to take in the 8,000 daily calories required to fuel his body, Nick battled sleep deprivation and extreme weight loss as he pushed his body and mind to their limit. 
 
Supported by close friends and family (including his ever-dependable right-hand man, Andy Swain, whose diary extracts feature in this book), Nick experienced spiralling lows and euphoric highs. As he traversed footpaths, country lanes and busy A roads, he passed through over two thousand coastal communities, buoyed along by supporters cheering from windows, balconies, passing cars and pavements, by school children and fellow runners, and by the stunning sights and sounds of the British coast. 
 
Run Britain is Nick's account of his extraordinary adventure.

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING, LIFE-CHANGING PHENOMENON – SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
 
'A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows' RAYNOR WINN 
 
'My favourite book of the last five years' CAITLIN MORAN 
 
Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life. 
 
A moving personal narrative interwoven with lessons from literature, mythology and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. 
 
Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season. 
 
'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself' ELIZABETH GILBERT 
 
'Absolutely beautiful' CHERYL STRAYED

The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

James Nestor

AN UPDATED EDITION OF THE PHENOMOENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
 
There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. In Breath, journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya and Tummo, to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. 
 
Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, halt snoring, allergies, asthma and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of ancient wisdom and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. 
 
You will never breathe the same again.

Rangan Chatterjee

The Instant No.1 Bestseller 
 
'Even your first taste of this book’s practical, inviting and effective strategies for happiness will make you glad you did.' - from the foreword by Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks 
 
Happiness is a practice, not a destination. We often treat happiness as something to pursue, a reward we’ll reach once life is finally in order. But what if happiness is not an outcome, but a practice - the foundation that shapes how we meet each moment? 
 
Drawing on over twenty years as a doctor, Dr Rangan Chatterjee has seen that motivation and willpower rarely sustain us for long. True wellbeing only becomes possible when we learn to nurture what he calls core happiness - a steadier, more resilient form of joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances. 
 
In Happy Mind, Happy Life, Dr Chatterjee blends science, case studies, and simple exercises to show how small, daily choices ripple into lasting change. Through ten simple but profound ways, you’ll explore how to: 
<ul><li>Treat yourself with compassion and respect</li><li>Redesign your relationship with technology</li><li>Respond to criticism without being derailed</li></ul> 
This is not a manual for quick fixes, but an invitation to reimagine how you live - so that health, clarity, and contentment flow naturally into your days.
