  Expert motivator, a fitness virtuoso and a self-empowerment guru Stacey Griffith, SoulCycle Senior Master Instructor, shows you how to take your health and fitness to new levels while using that same energy to boost your emotional and spiritual wellbeing in all aspects of your life. 
  In Two Turns From Zero, Stacey Griffith, one of the iconic faces of the wildly popular SoulCycle, has helped thousands reshape their bodies, while also becoming their best selves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Stacey firmly believes that every one of us can be an athlete. Focusing on four key concepts—Eat, Love, Train, and Repeat—this is her life handbook that provides a blueprint for feeling healthy, happy, and empowered. Stacey offers conditioning advice, nutrition counseling, visualizations for achieving your goals, and moving meditations for staying centered. Most important, she shows you how to locate your greatest sense of purpose that will take you to the highest levels of performance—and sustain you to weather life’s inevitable challenges. 
  Two Turns from Zero is also Stacey's personal story—a chronicle of endurance that is as motivating as her workout routine. At one time, Stacey was directionless and, by her own account, an overall unsuccessful human being. But she finally realized she wanted more from life—she needed to find meaning. Giving up alcohol, drugs, and partying, she dedicated her life to fitness—a journey of discovery she uses in her book to motivate others to make the most of their own lives.  
  This gifted instructor is beloved for her ability to inspire and push her students to achieve their ultimate center. In Two Turns from Zero, she shows how we can all achieve our personal peak.

  Why I Care: And why care matters

  Sir Ed Davey

  A deeply personal account of life as a carer and a call to support those who care for others 
  'Ed Davey wants to rewrite British politics – not with the language of crisis, but that of care. … He offers something rare – moral clarity rooted in lived experience.' Guardian 
  'Caring is how we know we’re alive. 
  The good in all of us has been shaped by care. Hold a mirror up to that, and we’ll realise our potential.' 
  Care is the thread that runs through Ed’s life. Aged only four, Ed lost his father. When his mother also became ill with cancer, Ed and his brothers nursed her at home until she died when Ed was just 15. That formative experience was one of the main inspirations in seeking election, and with it the opportunity to take action. Now, he and his wife care for their son John, who has severe physical and learning disabilities, as well as raising their younger daughter. So Ed has real knowledge of the emotional, physical and financial challenges faced by legions of carers in Britain today. 
  Why I Care is both a deeply personal story, drawing on Ed’s own experiences, and a book that reflects the stories of people everywhere to offer a vision of change. Shedding light on the often-invisible world of carers, he calls for society, our government and our institutions to recognise, support, and lift up the silent carers who form the backbone of our communities. 
  This isn’t just Ed’s story. It's the story of millions. 
  In Why I Care, Sir Ed Davey, a prominent political figure, delves into the pressing issues of health and welfare in our society. His autobiography is not just a personal narrative, but a call to action for policy changes and better public services.

  Bleeding Truth - A Memoir

  Bleeding Truth is a gripping and deeply human memoir that exposes the hidden realities of war, injustice, and survival. Told with raw honesty and emotional intensity, it follows the author’s journey from the unforgiving front lines to the long and painful struggles that follow injury, trauma, and betrayal. As both a veteran and a medical professional, the author brings a rare dual perspective—witnessing the brutality of conflict firsthand while also caring for those whose stories the world seldom hears. 
  The memoir reveals the moments of terror, courage, and impossible decisions that define life in war. But it also uncovers the quieter battles that continue long after the fighting stops: the physical wounds that refuse to heal, the psychological scars that return in silence, and the constant demand for strength when the world expects silence. Through this personal lens, Bleeding Truth confronts corruption, human rights violations, and the painful consequences of speaking out in a system built on fear. 
  Yet the heart of the story is not only suffering—it is resilience. It is the determination to rise after being broken, to speak after being threatened, and to find purpose after being silenced. The memoir honors the people who stood beside the author—family, friends, colleagues, and strangers who offered hope during the darkest moments. 
  Intense, honest, and unforgettable, Bleeding Truth invites readers into a world where courage is often the only weapon and truth becomes an act of defiance. It is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder that even in pain, one can find meaning, strength, and the will to fight for justice

  Paris 1928

  The acclaimed author of The Tropic of Cancer recounts his 1928 trip to the City of Light and his troubled second marriage in this vivid memoir. 
   
  Published for the first time in English, Paris 1928 (Nexus II) continues in true Henry Miller fashion the narrative begun in Nexus, the third volume of the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy. A rough draft that Miller ultimately abandoned, the story describes Miller’s first wondrous glimpse of Paris and underscores several of the recurrent themes of his work. These previously unpublished memoirs capture Miller’s troubled relationship with his second wife, June; reflections on what he left behind in New York’s sweltering summer of 1927; and the anticipation of all that awaits him in Europe. Paris 1928 presents Miller’s views on Europe on the brink of great changes, counterpointed by his own personal sexual revelry and freedom of choice. Illustrations in this edition are by Australian artist and filmmaker Garry Shead. 
   
  “This book is an important piece of literary history, offering different perspectives on people and places that Miller wrote about elsewhere.” —James M. Decker

  Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
  The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
  Bristol, 1979. 
  An attacker roams the streets… 
  Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
  Enter the Decoys. 
  For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
  In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
  Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
  Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
  For fans of Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), David Wilson (Murder at Home), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), and Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings).
