  Crash and Burn - A CEO's crazy...

  In the cut-throat world of low-cost airlines, competition is the name of the game. Not only up in the air but also on the ground.
  Crash and Burn is an insider's tale of the South African airline industry over the past thirty years and the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022, as told by Glenn Orsmond, twice CEO of Comair and the founder CEO of 1time. Orsmond takes the reader on a wild ride through the ultra-competitive sector of low-cost airlines that boomed after South African Airways' stranglehold on the skies was loosened in the 1990s. Comair – which operated both Kulula and British Airways – and 1time were at the forefront of this new wave of airlines that saw domestic flying and tourism take off.
  But after some incredible highs and lows, Comair crashed under Orsmond's watch despite the company's 75-year unblemished profit history. The pandemic's impact, the grounding of aeroplanes after a questionable regulator investigation and poor management decisions all contributed to its downfall.
  Expect tales of industry legends and innovation, but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms. You'll never think of flying in South Africa in the same way again.

  Lacan Sucks and So Do You - A...

  What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into? 
  Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out. 
  Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language. 
  Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks: 
  How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs it 
  Why you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxiety 
  How politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbols 
  What the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language” 
  And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voice 
  If you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you. 
  No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.

  Brave and Bold: 100 Years of the...

  A hundred years. Thousands of women. One extraordinary pond. 
  I have learned about peacocks and terrapins, giant cobras and booming widgeons; I have heard about celebrity spottings and al-fresco lovemaking and digestive biscuits. These things make up the history of the Ladies’ Pond, but they also give us an insight into a hundred years of women’s lives. 
  From code breakers to cake bakers, I have learned that there is no such thing as a ‘normal woman’; and over the last hundred years the Pond has played host to thousands of remarkable people. 
  For a century, the Ladies’ Pond on Hampstead Heath has welcomed women from every walk of life: artists and activists, swimmers and sunbathers, friends and free spirits. As Britain’s most famous female open-air swimming spot, a pocket of wildness tucked away in the middle of the city, it has long attracted adventurous swimmers from all over the UK and the wider world. 
  Brave and Bold celebrates one hundred years of this beloved London landmark through the rhythm of a single swimming year, from frozen Januarys to sun-drenched midsummers; through friendships, feminist activism and the exhilaration of open water. 
  Created in collaboration with the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association and rich with previously unseen archive material and new interviews – from Dolly Alderton and Amy Liptrot to lifelong swimmers of every era – this is far more than the story of one pond. It’s a story of community, women and wild water across a century of social and political change, from suffragettes to soap stars, war to liberation, and shared flasks of tea to acts of quiet rebellion. 
  Brave and Bold is both a love letter to Hampstead Heath and to every woman who has ever felt most at home bobbing about in open water. 
  Brave and Bold is non-fiction with the warmth of autobiography, attentive to nature and to the ponds, habitats and ecosystems that make the Ladies’ Pond feel like a world apart. Through that lens, feminism becomes a daily practice—held in friendships, rituals, and the simple bravery of stepping into open water. 
  For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Sara Pascoe (Animal), and Daisy Buchanan (How to Be a Grown-Up).
