  Gabrielle O’Donovan, award-winning organisational culture and change expert and author, shares her powerful memoir - Gino’s Contraband: Guilty Until Proven Innocent (The Change Press, 2025). This gripping adaptation of the award-winning print book recounts the wrongful assumption of the UK tax authority - His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) - that Gabrielle was responsible for a shipment of over a quarter of a million contraband cigarettes and related charges, and her challenging fight to reclaim her identity and dignity and clear her good name. 
  With compelling narration, the book immerses listeners in O'Donovan’s emotional journey - from bureaucratic horror where she is presumed guilty, to resolute advocacy. As she traces her experience - alongside that of her suicidal friend who is caught up in the broader Loan Charge Scandal affecting tens of thousands - the intertwined stories of these two friends become a vital testimony for democratic accountability, mental health resilience, and the need for a Taxpayer Bill of Rights. The book ends with a chapter of recommendations for institutional reform at HMRC. 
  Vital for political watchdogs, legal reform advocates, tax specialists and memoir listeners seeking emotional truth.

This book is a physician’s reflection on his 40-plus years of interactions with family, friends, patients, medical students, and residents.

  Skiing into the Bright Open - My...

  In Skiing into the Bright Open Liv Arnesen describes the exhausting, exhilarating experience of being the first known woman to ski unsupported to the South Pole. 
   
   
   
  From her childhood in Norway to the seasons she spent working as a guide on Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, Arnesen courted the cold, and her memoir reflects the knowledge and passion for Arctic and Antarctic exploration that grew with her adventures in the wintry reaches of Norway and beyond. Tracing her path from the heroic stories of explorers like Fridtjof Nansen and Ernest Shackleton to her own crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap in 1992, Arnesen credits the inspiring feats of those who preceded her but also describes the obstacles—including niggling self-doubt—that tradition, convention, and downright prejudice put in her way as she endeavored to find the support and sponsorship granted to men in her field. 
   
   
   
  A tale of solitary adventure in the bleak and beautiful bone-chilling cold of Antarctica, Skiing into the Bright Open tells a story of gritty determination, thrilling achievement, and perseverance in the face of near despair and daunting odds; it is, ultimately, an object lesson in the power of a dream if one is willing to pursue it to the ends of the earth.

  In 1934, at the age of fourteen, Colette Brull-Ulmann knew that she wanted to become a pediatrician. By 1942, Brull-Ulman and her family had become registered Jews under the ever-increasing statutes against them enacted by Petain's government. Her father had been arrested and interned at the Drancy detention camp and Brull-Ulman had become an intern at the Rothschild Hospital. 
   
   
   
  Under Claire Heyman, a charismatic social worker who was a leader of the hospital's secret escape network, Brull-Ulmann began working tirelessly to rescue Jewish children treated at the Rothschild. Ultimately, Brull-Ulmann was forced to flee the Rothschild in 1943, when she joined her father's resistance network, gathering and delivering information for De Gaulle's secret intelligence agency until the Liberation in 1945. 
   
   
   
  In 1970, Brull-Ulmann finally became a licensed pediatrician. It wasn't until decades later when she finally started to speak publicly—not only about her own work and survival, but about the one child who affected her most deeply. Originally published in French in 2017, Brull-Ulmann's memoir fearlessly illustrates the horrors of Jewish life under the German Occupation and casts light on the heretofore unknown story of the Rothschild Hospital during this period.
