🇵🇱A Chip Shop in Poznań

🌲 Imperial Mud

🧬Hacking the Code of Life

🏳️‍🌈Indecent Advances

'Unnerving, fascinating, informative and truly frightening.’ - Hallie Rubenhold author of the Five. In #HalfLivesBook Lucy Jane Santos presents the surprising history of radium in everyday life.

‘One of the funniest books of the year’ – Paul Ross, @talkradiouk

#AChipShopInPoznań is Ben Aitken's candid, funny and offbeat tale of a year as an unlikely immigrant.

'In a masterful and painstaking act of retrieval, James Boyce reclaims the landscape of his fiercely independent forebears.' - Nicholas Shakespeare

#ImperialMud reimagines not just the history of the Fens, but the history and identity of the English people.

‘[A]n excellent, brisk guide to what is likely to happen as opposed to the fantastically remote.’ – LA Review of Books

A new addition to the Icon Hot Science series, Nessa Carey writes a thrilling and timely snapshot of cutting-edge technology that will radically alter our futures

'A grisly, sobering, comprehensively researched new history.' – The New Yorker

James Polchin presents a skilful hybrid of true crime and social history that examines the often-coded portrayal of crimes against gay men in the decades before Stonewall.
