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. A verbatim account of her visits is accompanied by illuminating excerpts from letters written to the analyst by the child’s parents and an invaluable commentary by Dr Winnicott.

Of special value to professionals working with children, it will also fascinate anyone interested in how psychoanalysis works in practice

Upon victory in 1945, Britain still dominated the Middle East. But her motives for wanting to dominate this crossroads between Europe, Asia and Africa were changing. Where 'imperial security' - control of the route to India - had once been paramount, now oil was an increasingly important factor. So, too, was prestige. Ironically, the very end of empire made control of the Middle East precious in itself: on it hung Britain's claim to be a great power • Unable to withstand Arab and Jewish nationalism, within a generation the British were gone. But that is not the full story. What ultimately sped Britain on her way was the uncompromising attitude of the United States, which was determined to displace the British in the Middle East • Using newly declassified records and long-forgotten memoirs, including the diaries of a key British spy, James Barr tears up the conventional interpretation of this era in the Middle East, vividly portraying the tensions between London and Washington, and shedding an uncompromising light on the murkier activities of a generation of American and British diehards in the region, from the battle of El Alamein in 1942 to Britain's abandonment of Aden in 1967

'Thunder crashed across the sky. Fire-dragons soared through the heavens. And then, one fine June day, came the warriors from the north - the Vikings...' • Prepare to meet the most terrifying raiders the world has ever known, as historian Dominic Sandbrook plunges us back into the thrilling drama of the Viking Age. We'll encounter gods and giants, axemen and shield-maidens, from the warlords rampaging through King Alfred's England to the sea-captains who first glimpsed the mountains of Iceland. For even in the most glittering cities on earth, no one is safe from the Northmen's fury • The Adventures in Time series brings the past alive for twenty-first century children. These stories are every bit as exciting as those of Harry Potter or Matilda Wormwood

Теперь удостоенный наград биограф Найджел Гамильтон рассказывает нам о жизни двенадцати человек, от Франклина Д. Рузвельта до Джорджа У. Буш, который руководил имперскими успехами Америки - хорошими, плохими и по-настоящему ужасными • Как эти американские цезари добрались до Белого дома? С какими трудностями они столкнулись, когда добрались туда, и как они с ними справились? И кем были эти мужчины в своей личной жизни? • Книга на английском языке • The twentieth century has been called 'the American Century'.

Мы знаем, что Америка распространила свои деньги, язык и культуру по всему миру, но мы все еще думаем о ней как о замкнутой территории, окруженной Канадой сверху, Мексикой снизу и океанами по обе стороны. Но это огромное заблуждение • Книга Дэниела Иммервара "Как спрятать империю. Краткая история Великих Соединенных Штатов" - это история страны за пределами США – от завоеваний девятнадцатого века, таких как Аляска и Пуэрто-Рико, до каталога островов, архипелагов и военных баз, разбросанных по всему земному шару. Полная сюрпризов и ранее забытых эпизодов, эта увлекательная книга представляет прошлое и настоящее Америки в новом свете • Книга на английском языке • 'Wry, readable and often astonishing... A provocative and absorbing history of the United States' New York Times • The United States denies having dreams of empire

The twelve stories in this startling collection range over centuries and across the world • There are stories about those who are lonely, or estranged, or out of time. There are hauntings, both literal and metaphorical; and acts of cruelty and neglect but also of penance • Some stories concern themselves with the present, and the mundane circumstances in which people find themselves: a woman who feels stuck in her life imagines herself in different jobs - as a lighthouse keeper in Wales, or as a guard against polar bears in a research station in the Arctic • Some stories concern themselves with the past: a sixteenth-century alchemist and doctor, whose arrogance blinds him to people's dissatisfaction with their lives until he experiences it himself

The completely updated edition of J. M. Roberts and Odd Arne Westad's widely acclaimed, landmark bestseller The Penguin History of the World • For generations of readers The Penguin History of the World has been one of the great cultural experiences - the entire story of human endeavour laid out in all its grandeur and folly, drama and pain in a single authoritative book.

To Christina Olson, the entire world is her family’s remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family has lived in for generations, and tied to the farm by health and circumstance, Christina seems destined for a small life. Instead, by chance she becomes the inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth, and eventually the subject of one of the best-known paintings of the twentieth century, Christina’s World

'The Boy-scouts mistook my signal, and have killed the postman. I've had very little practice in this sort of thing, you see' • The British short story tradition is probably the richest, most varied and historically extensive in the world. This new anthology celebrates the full diversity and energy of its writers, subjects and tones, from the story's origins with Defoe, Swift and Fielding, to the 'golden age' of the fin de siecle and Edwardian period, ending with the First World War. Including the most famous authors as well as some magnificent, little-known stories never republished since their first appearance in magazines and periodicals, these stories are by turns topical and playful, ghostly and theatrical, rumbustious and sublime • Edited with an introduction by Philip Hensher
