  'Gripping' – The Times
  How can you defend a man like that?
  Under the Wig: A Lawyer's Stories of Murder, Guilt and Innocence is the riveting true-crime memoir from William Clegg QC (Queen's Counsel – now known as King's Counsel), one of Britain's most experienced criminal defence barristers. Across five decades at the Bar, Clegg has represented more than 100 people accused of murder and stood in courtrooms where a single verdict can mean freedom, life imprisonment, or a devastating miscarriage of justice.
  This is not a fictional legal thriller. These are real cases, told with the pace of a courtroom drama and the insight of an advocate who understands how juries, judges, police and prosecutors think. Step behind the scenes of the English criminal justice system – from the first tense prison visit and solicitor's proof of evidence, to police interviews and PACE safeguards, to cross-examination, jury speeches, verdict day silence, sentencing, and the hard grind of the Court of Appeal.
  Clegg answers the questions people always ask: What happens if a client admits guilt? Why can't a barrister simply refuse to defend a suspected killer? What is the "cab-rank" rule? And why are murder trials different, where issues like self-defence, provocation and diminished responsibility can decide whether the law calls it murder or manslaughter?
  Inside, you'll follow headline-making investigations and unforgettable cases, including:
  
  - The Wimbledon Common murder and the dangers of criminal profiling, media pressure and a collapsed prosecution
  
  - The murder of Samantha Bisset and the chilling consequences of missed links, fingerprints and DNA
  
  - The Chillenden murders and the unnerving power of prison "confessions"
  
  - Convictions built on unusual forensic evidence, from earprints to trace clues
  
  - A murder without a body and the weight of circumstantial evidence
  
  - War crimes prosecutions that reach beyond Britain, from Belarus to the Balkans
  
  - Modern scandals and trials, including bribery and corruption, phone hacking, and high-profile UK cases such as Jill Dando and Joanna Yeates
  
  Along the way you'll be taken inside chambers: clerks and briefs, rivalry and camaraderie, solicitors and counsel, plea advice, trial preparation, and what it really takes to become a QC. You'll see how a defence team builds trust with a frightened defendant, how to test witness statements and expert testimony, and how small details can win (or lose) a case.
  If you enjoy British true crime books, courtroom memoirs, legal biography, crime non-fiction, criminal law, criminology and behind-the-scenes accounts of murder trials, this is essential reading. Buy now and step into the courtroom. Perfect for fans of true crime, law books, and legal thrillers based on real cases.

  Losing Our Minds - The Challenge...

  A compelling and incisive audiobook that questions the overuse of mental health terms to describe universal human emotionsPublic awareness of mental illness has been transformed in recent years, but our understanding of how to define it has yet to catch up. Too often, psychiatric disorders are confused with the inherent stresses and challenges of human experience. A narrative has taken hold that a mental health crisis has been building among young people. In this profoundly sensitive and constructive book, psychologist Lucy Foulkes argues that the crisis is one of ignorance as much as illness. Have we raised a 'snowflake' generation? Or are today's young people subjected to greater stress, exacerbated by social media, than ever before? Foulkes shows that both perspectives are useful but limited. The real question in need of answering is: how should we distinguish between 'normal' suffering and actual illness?Drawing on her extensive knowledge of the scientific and clinical literature, Foulkes explains what is known about mental health problems—how they arise, why they so often appear during adolescence, the various tools we have to cope with them—but also what remains unclear: distinguishing between normality and disorder is essential if we are to provide the appropriate help, but no clear line between the two exists in nature. Providing necessary clarity and nuance, Losing Our Minds argues that the widespread misunderstanding of this aspect of mental illness might be contributing to its apparent prevalence.

  Stop Negative Self-Talk: The...

  Understanding your inner critic is one thing.
   
  Responding to it in real life is another.
   
  You recognize the voice.
  You know it's the inner critic.
   
  And yet when it speaks—
  you still believe it.
   
  Stop Negative Self-Talk: The Practice of Self-Compassionate Action moves beyond understanding and into practical change.
   
  In this second audiobook of the series, Rowan E. Sages introduces clear, research-informed practices designed to help you respond differently when the inner critic appears.
   
  You will learn how to:
   
  • Recognize self-critical patterns in real time
  • Create psychological distance from the inner critic
  • Apply practical self-compassion techniques that actually work
  • Act despite self-doubt and internal criticism
  • Build long-term resilience against harsh self-judgment
   
  These practices are based on modern psychological research, including work on self-compassion, cognitive patterns, and behavioral change.
   
  The goal is not to silence the inner critic completely.
   
  The goal is something more realistic—and far more powerful.
   
  To hear the voice without being controlled by it.
  To act even when the critic is still talking.
  To build a life guided by self-trust rather than self-attack.
   
  This audiobook provides the practical tools to do exactly that.
   
  Together with Book 1, this two-part series offers both the understanding and the practices needed to transform your relationship with negative self-talk.
