  Zen master Thick Nhat Hanh, bestselling author of Peace is Every Step and one of the most respected and celebrated religious leaders in the world, delivers a powerful path to happiness through mastering life's most important skill. 
  How do we say what we mean in a way that the other person can really hear? 
  How can we listen with compassion and understanding? 
  Communication fuels the ties that bind, whether in relationships, business, or everyday interactions. Most of us, however, have never been taught the fundamental skills of communication—or how to best represent our true selves. Effective communication is as important to our well-being and happiness as the food we put into our bodies. It can be either healthy (and nourishing) or toxic (and destructive). 
  In this precise and practical guide, Zen master and Buddhist monk Thick Nhat Hanh reveals how to listen mindfully and express your fullest and most authentic self. With examples from his work with couples, families, and international conflicts, The Art of Communicating helps us move beyond the perils and frustrations of misrepresentation and misunderstanding to learn the listening and speaking skills that will forever change how we experience and impact the world.

  An Australian True Crime investigation of wrongful imprisonment by the bestselling author of The Kingpin and the Crooked Cop. 
   
   
  Nine wrongful imprisonments. Nine innocent men and women freed. 
   
  Australia has a robust legal system. According to conventional wisdom, only the guilty end up behind bars. The reality is far more complex and, for First Nations Australians and other minorities in particular, the law can become a trap - one that has condemned completely innocent people to years, even decades, of wrongful imprisonment. 
   
  Impeccably researched and compelling told, Falsely Convicted exposes shocking injustices in all their devastating detail. These cases reveal how fragile truth can be, how easily lives can be destroyed, and how freedom - when it arrives - often comes only after everything else has been lost. 
   
  There's teacher Josephine Greensill, whose life was upended by allegations from two former students from three decades before. Henry Keogh, who discovered his fiancée dead in the bath, only to be accused - and convicted - of her murder due to catastrophic forensic failures. And Gene Gibson, an 18-year-old Aboriginal man from one of Australia's remotest communities, convicted of a killing by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, hindered by language barriers and entrenched prejudice. 
   
   
  In Falsely Convicted, Walkley Award–winning crime reporter and bestselling author Neil Mercer turns his investigative skills toward the most chilling crimes of all: the ones committed by the system itself.

  The remarkable history of Britain and its animals, told through ten iconic species Have you ever wondered why we count sheep to get to sleep? Or where the phrase "red herring" comes from? Across British history, animals have been written about in poetry, painted in oils, and even recorded in law. Loved or feared, familiar or endangered, animals are everywhere to be seen. In this enchanting study, Karen R. Jones takes a journey through the history of ten animals to show the extraordinary story of "beastly" Britain. Jones looks at animals including foxes and hedgehogs, newts and beetles, ghostly hounds, and even the Loch Ness Monster. She reveals the place of animals in British cultural identity and sheds new light on the most iconic moments of British history, from the Black Death to World War II. The story of these isles may be told by human voices, but it is fully brought to life by listening to the squawks, bellows, and howls that make Britain what it is.
