Molly, trying to repair her reputation after a serious downward spiral, meets Isabella's earnest attempts to connect with inconsistency, indifference, and cruelty.

And of course, very delicious food.

How does your brain decide what it's seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems.The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in.In this book Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colours your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people and the beliefs you form about yourself. With transformative applications for how we engage with other communities and approach mental illness, On Your Mind will revolutionise the way you think.

'The letters, gossipy in the kindliest, most amused/bemused manner, bear true witness to the wide-ranging influences on Wodehouse's' best-known novels and best-loved characters.' THE TIMES***The definitive edition of P.G. Wodehouse's collected letters, edited with commentary by Oxford academic Sophie Ratcliffe. One of the funniest and most admired writers of the twentieth century, P. G. Wodehouse always shied away from the idea of a biography. A quiet, retiring man, he expressed himself through the written word. His letters - collected and expertly edited here - provide an illuminating biographical accompaniment to legendary comic creations such as Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Psmith and the Empress of Blandings. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, these letters give an unrivalled insight into Wodehouse, covering his schooldays at Dulwich College, the family's financial reverses which saw his hopes of university dashed, life in New York working in musical comedy with Jerome Kern and George and Ira Gershwin, the years of fame as a novelist, and the unhappy episode in 1940 where he was interned by the Germans and later erroneously accused of broadcasting pro-Nazi propaganda. Charming, witty and profound, this 50th anniversary edition of A LIFE IN LETTERS is the perfect addition to any Wodehouse-lover's bookcase.

In 2011, a lone male wolf nicknamed Slavc set out from Slovenia, and, tracked by a GPS collar, travelled for 2000km, before arriving four months later in Lessinia, an Italian plateau north of Verona. Finding the only female wolf for hundreds of miles around, they started a lineage now some fifty of which live on the plateau to this day, the first wolves in the Italian Alps for 150 years. In Lessinia, Adam Weymouth follows the path of Slavc, tracing the changes facing these wild corners of Europe, where the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture, where nationalism and progress pull away, and where the people are travelling, too. The result is a multifaceted account of a country caught in a moment of kaleidoscopic change, from an award-winning writer with a uniquely perceptive eye for detail.

How babies sleep is both exceedingly simple and excruciatingly complex. It is simple because it is based on a few straightforward biological principles that affect all babies the world over. It is complex because we have made it so. Over the past century and a half, we have tried to manipulate baby sleep to fit with the rapidly changing nature of adult lives. The mismatch we have created with our babies' biology is framed as 'baby sleep problems', and infants are often 'treated' using behavioural and clinical interventions. But it is not baby sleep that needs fixing - only our understanding of it.In How Babies Sleep, pioneering and award-winning infant sleep researcher Professor Helen Ball brings together cutting-edge science, anthropological insight and practical advice to provide parents with everything they need to help them confidently - and sanely - navigate the first 365 night-times with a new baby. It will teach you how to harmonise your needs with those of your infant, and empower you to reject approaches that make you uncomfortable and experiment with strategies that work for you and your family.
