  ‘Extraordinarily powerful’ Emma Thompson 
  There are a million love stories, and a million stories of addiction. This one is transcendent. 
  Louisa Young met Robert Lockhart when they were both 17. Their stop-start romance lasted decades, in which time he became a celebrated composer and she, an acclaimed novelist. 
  This is both a compelling portrait of a lifelong love affair, and an incredibly affecting guide to how the partner of a 'charismatic, infuriating, adorable, self-sabotaging’ alcoholic can find the strength to survive when the disease rips both their lives apart. 
  ‘Rich and moving and beautifully written’ The Times 
  ‘Spectacular. I can’t stop thinking about it’ Cathy Rentzenbrink 
  ‘Extraordinarily candid’ Evening Standard 
  ‘Beautiful, and heartbreaking, and true’ Sam Baker, The Pool 
  ‘Moving, harrowing and tirelessly empathetic’ Daily Express 
  In this rich autobiography, Louisa Young, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the depths of her personal relationships, painting a vivid picture of love, grief, and bereavement. The narrative is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, even in the face of death and the self-sabotaging nature of addiction. 
  For fans of Bernardine Evaristo (Manifesto), Joanna Cannon (Breaking & Mending), Rose Tremain (Rosie), Anita Moorjani (Dying To Be Me), and Victoria Cilliers (I Survived).

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume words sparkle and dance with a verve and purpose that other literary talents quite simple do not possess.  Known principally for their novels the short story in their hands is fresh, compelling; a world of wonders.  Genius is written with their names.

  This is a detailed biography of the life and adventures of Daniel Boone. His accomplishments are brushed over in history classes these days and not given the recognition they deserve. This biography clearly paints a picture of the benevolent person of Daniel Boone as well as the achievements he made in furthering European settlement in America. (Summary by Allyson Hester)

  A new collection, the first in well over a decade, from acclaimed poet Jay Parini, which revolves around his deep connection to nature and underlines his concerns about the impacts of pollution and climate change. Published on the heels of a major new biography of Gore Vidal (Doubleday, 10/2015), and around the same time as the anticipated release of a new film based on his book Benjamin's Crossing, this collection will also be his first since the release of the popular and acclaimed film The Last Station, based on his novel of that same title. In these beautiful, haunting poems, Parini writes about the landscapes of Mining country, of the railroads of Pennsylvania, of farm country, of world's lost, families dispersed, faith tried and contested.

  The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value. 
  Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016. 
  Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth—even in those at the pinnacle of their careers—inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide. 
  Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach’s principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
