Patrick Hennessey's The Junior Officers' Reading Club is a lucid, witty account of all the horror, boredom and exhilaration of war • Patrick Hennessey is pretty much like any other member of Generation X: he spent the first half of the noughties reading books at university, going out, listening to house music and watching war films. He also, as an officer in the Grenadier guards, fought in some of the most violent combat the British army has seen in decades • Telling the story of how a modern soldier is made, from the testosterone-heavy breeding ground of Sandhurst to the nightmare of Iraq and Afghanistan, The Junior Officers' Reading Club is already being hailed as a modern classic

Between the age of two and five, a little girl nicknamed ‘the Piggle’ – seriously disturbed by the birth of a younger sister – visited Dr Winnicott on sixteen occasions.

This allows the reader to experience in detail the growth of a relationship between child and therapist and the gradual unfolding of the child’s inner world • This classic piece of writing gives the reader the rare opportunity of being admitted to the intimacy of the consulting room and of studying the child and therapist at work. Of special value to professionals working with children, it will also fascinate anyone interested in how psychoanalysis works in practice

The super funny, heart-warming adventure of three boys, one summer holiday, and a few miracles along the way, from breakout talent, Jenny Pearson, illustrated by award-winning Rob Biddulph • Freddie Yates likes facts. Just not the one staring him in the face - that his secret plan is not, in fact, secret • Because Freddie's journey wasn't meant to involve Big Trev and the onion-eating competition or the loo-exploding pear-and-potato turnovers. And Freddie definitely didn't expect to end up, with his two best friends, on national television in a supergirl costume • But journeys never take you where you think they will. And for Freddie, that fact might just have to be enough

Они должны были убедить читателей из крупных городов покинуть привычные места и отправиться в путешествие по "дорогам и объездам" Британии, чтобы увидеть в ней "живую страну". Но эти тринадцать книжечек не только прославляли роскошные сельские виды "островного государства": в них нашла отражение промышленная мощь Британии и её амбиции середины XX века, её жажда новых технологий, гордость за своё производство и увлечённость новыми разновидностями наземного, водного и воздушного транспорта • Взяв на вооружение эти путеводители, историк Тим Коул отправился в путешествие, чтобы понять, что поменялось за прошедшие с момента их выхода в печать 70 лет, а что осталось неизменным
