Fuel for Thought - A practical...

Renee McGregor

Food should be really simple. It is the means by which we nourish our bodies, providing them with the nutrients and fuel we need in order to live, exercise and socialise. Yet, in recent years, food and nutrition have become more complicated, confusing and polarising than ever before.
Fuel for Thought by leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor is a practical and trustworthy guide to sports nutrition, whether you’re a world-class or real-world athlete, or just someone who wants to improve their relationship with food. Cutting through the jargon and misinformation, Renee draws on over twenty years’ experience of working with sportspeople from a range of disciplines and backgrounds to provide straightforward, accessible advice about how you can fuel your adventures.
The follow-up to More Fuel You, in this book Renee looks at sports nutrition through the lens of her own sporting passion – running. She urges caution over the explosion of social media nutrition and fitness experts, apps and programmes that all claim to offer bespoke dietary advice. Instead, she offers practical information based on her own personal and professional experiences, including an A–Z of foods and a section dedicated to her own tried-and-tested, budget-friendly recipe ideas which use simple, everyday ingredients. There is also guidance on how to recognise and get help with dysfunctional behaviours, from REDs to exercise dependency, and how to be informed about your hormonal health when you go in search of appropriate support.

Sea Monsters - The Fin Fleming...

Sharon Ward

There’s already been one death by the time the authorities ask Fin to go undercover to investigate a company that is creating extensive environmental damage to the ocean, threatening an octopus nursery, a shark mating area, and the endangered green turtles, all causes dear to her heart. How can she say no? 
It’s not until she’s on site that she realizes she’ll have to work with Liam and the team from his environmental remediation company. Working together will be awkward, but Fin is determined to do everything she can to stop the damage.

Meanwhile, Fin uncovers pieces of an ancient chess set made of solid gold. Is Kraken after the chess set, or are they really building the resort they've claimed? Or is there something else going on? 
Disregarding the danger to herself, Fin continues her investigation even after things turn deadly. Will she be able to bring the monsters to justice or will the danger of working undercover prove too much for her to handle on her own?

Sanctioned - The Inside Story of...

Nick Purewal

The sale of Chelsea FC in 2022 was one of the highest-profile and most controversial sports transactions of all time. In the shadow of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Roman Abramovich was forced to put his beloved club up for sale, and under the threat of bankruptcy and ruin, Chelsea pulled off a complex transaction in three tense and troubling months. Sanctioned chronicles those ninety-five extraordinary days in English football.
Through unprecedented access to Abramovich himself, key figures from Chelsea's new ownership and a star-studded footballing cast, Nick Purewal unfolds a wide-ranging tale of political sanctions, hushed negotiations, Cold War-style geopolitics and even a foul-play poisoning episode, all set against the backdrop of a drawn-out war on the edge of Europe.
Four years on, the funds from the Chelsea sale, earmarked for humanitarian causes, remained frozen in a bank account. In this updated edition, Nick Purewal charts the fraught political and legal battles to unlock this capital, as well as the highs and lows of Chelsea's 2025–26 season – from headline-grabbing wins to dramatic staff exits and mammoth fines.

Under Water - How Holding My...

Claire Walsh

'I needed to breathe. Not the short, shallow breaths that keep you alive … merely existing. I wanted that breath that starts deep down in your being and fills your lungs and limbs with life.'
Claire Walsh spent her twenties living the life she thought she was supposed to live, all the while playing hide-and-seek with depression. In her thirties, finding herself single and living with her parents, she decided it was time to chart a different path.
In Central America Claire discovered freediving, plunging up to 60 metres below the water's surface without the use of breathing apparatus. It taught her the power of breathwork, but more importantly it taught her how to find freedom in the present moment.
Under Water is a candid and captivating story of what it's like to take part in one of the most dangerous sports in the world, and a reminder that sometimes all we need to do is take a deep breath.
'20,000 leaues of sparkling adventure and tap-dancing prose.' Ruth Fitzmaurice, author of I Found My Tribe
