  Urban policy and governance are central to shaping the future of cities worldwide. As urban areas continue to expand, the challenges faced by city leaders, policymakers, and residents grow ever more complex. Urban policy refers to the strategies, frameworks, and regulations that guide the development and management of cities. It encompasses everything from housing and infrastructure to social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. Governance, on the other hand, focuses on the decision-making processes, institutions, and actors responsible for implementing these policies. Effective urban governance ensures that cities function smoothly and equitably while addressing the diverse needs of their populations. 
  The rapid pace of urbanization has been a defining feature of the 21st century, with over half of the world's population now living in cities. This urban shift presents numerous challenges, including overcrowding, resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and social inequality. However, it also creates opportunities for innovation and progress. A well-crafted urban policy can harness the potential of urbanization to improve quality of life, create economic opportunities, and foster sustainability. 
  Urban governance is shaped by various factors, including political, economic, and social dynamics. At its core, it involves coordinating efforts among multiple stakeholders, such as local governments, private sector entities, civil society groups, and international organizations. The collaboration between these actors is crucial to addressing the complex and interconnected issues that cities face. Effective governance must be inclusive, transparent, and accountable to ensure that all voices, particularly those of marginalized communities, are heard and considered in decision-making processes.

  ‘Warm, insightful . . . hilarious and at times heartbreaking! A modern-day Dickens’ Abi Morgan‘Original, funny, and heart-warming’ Lucy Searle, Homes & GardenEver wondered what really goes on behind closed doors? 
  Over more than twenty years working as a plumber, Nick has shared thousands of mugs of tea with hundreds of fascinating people. Here he gives his plumber’s-eye view of society in a series of entertaining, amusing and outrageous beneath-the-kitchen-sink dramas. 
  While fixing pipes, Nick was also looking for characters to write about. In his toolbox, in addition to spanners, he had a notebook, which wasn’t just for jotting down measurements. And ‘the secret plumber’ has some great stories to tell, about people who might just be your friends, family or neighbours. 
  There’s the frankly terrifying high-court judge, whose wife calls the shots; the divorcing woman, using him to help her build a rather bizarre botox business; and all the wonderful people he meets when his number is posted on Grindr as an LGBTQ+-friendly plumber. 
  This book is Tales of the Unexpected – in overalls. It shows London as it really is: one of the most diverse places on the planet, ranging from downright dangerous to preposterously posh. To Nick, London is a melting pot, filled with an extraordinary variety of fascinating people, who have one thing in common – they all need a plumber!

  Through the Firewall - The...

  Boyd Clewis

  Boyd Clewis has defied the odds and gravity. He was born dead, changed schools and homes as a child more times than he can count, became a teenage father and a track star, had more than one close brush with the law, and endured unimaginable family tragedy – all by the time he was barely old enough to drink. 
   
  He found a brief silver lining in the darkness. When it didn’t last, he found himself unable to even get a job in the produce section at Wal Mart. He refused to fail, and in the process, learned how to turn crisis into opportunity – over and over again. As he relentlessly pursued success, his trajectory shot straight upwards: international success, speaking on major stages – and love. Even then, there were days he couldn’t get out of bed. 
   
  Yet again, he reinvented himself, failed, and learned from it. Then, from a place most would consider their peak, he started from scratch to build his own business from the ground up. In the process, he learned what it truly meant to manage success. It can fulfill or destroy you, and it can bring your family closer, or tear it apart. It can isolate you from your community, or raise everyone around you up. 
   
  For better or worse, what you focus on determines your character and the trajectory of your life. Focus on any one thing to the exclusion of others, and everything you built can fall apart. There are two sides to every coin, and every seeming misfortune contains a lesson. There’s an alchemy to turning adversity to wisdom, and curses into blessings, and this is the story of how it worked for Boyd, and how it can work for you.

  Sleep Paralysis - The Science...

  Sleep paralysis is one of the most mysterious and terrifying sleep phenomena known to humankind. Those who experience it describe waking up in the middle of the night, fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. A crushing weight on the chest, an overwhelming sense of dread, and eerie hallucinations—shadowy figures, whispers, or even demonic entities—often accompany the experience. For centuries, people have attributed these encounters to supernatural forces, from demonic attacks to alien abductions. However, modern science has begun to uncover the true nature of sleep paralysis, revealing it as a complex interplay between the brain, body, and sleep cycles.  
    
  Despite being a well-documented occurrence, sleep paralysis remains shrouded in fear and misunderstanding. Many who suffer from it have no idea what is happening to them, leading to unnecessary distress and anxiety. While some dismiss it as a mere trick of the mind, others are convinced it is something more—an unexplained bridge between the waking world and the unknown. The debate between scientific explanations and paranormal interpretations has persisted for generations, making sleep paralysis one of the most intriguing topics in both medical and supernatural studies.  
    
  Historically, cultures around the world have attempted to explain this chilling phenomenon through folklore and mythology. In Scandinavian legend, the “Mare” was an evil spirit that sat on people’s chests at night, suffocating them as they slept. In Japan, the kanashibari, meaning “bound in metal,” was believed to be the work of vengeful spirits. Similarly, in parts of Africa and the Caribbean, the experience has been linked to black magic or ancestral spirits seeking revenge. These eerie similarities across different cultures suggest that sleep paralysis has been a universal human experience, yet its interpretations have varied dramatically depending on societal beliefs.
