  When global pop star Kelly Rowland became a mom for the first time, giving birth to her son Titan, she felt the most incredible love she had ever experienced. But after spending nine months so focused on the baby growing inside her, she was caught completely off guard by how much she had changed. Like many first-time moms, she was not ready for what had happened to her body and for so many overwhelming new thoughts and emotions. She wondered: Will I Ever Walk Again? Will I Ever Sleep Again? Are My Boobs Always Going to Be Like This? Rowland had questions about everything from postpartum bleeding, skin and hair changes, and dealing with aches and pains to getting back in shape and sex after baby. She also weighed the larger notions about what she wanted out of motherhood and the rest of her life.It was a good thing that Rowland's longtime OB/GYN Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman was right there to answer every single crazy question that popped into her head. Nothing fazed Dr. Bickman and she provided Rowland with the answers she so desperately needed, telling her over and over that, in the months after a woman gives birth, nothing is exactly strange, but nothing is necessarily normal either. It's all just part of the "miracle" of birth.In Whoa, Baby! Rowland and Dr. Bickman team up to share this reassuring information with new moms everywhere. Often hilarious and always down-to-earth, Rowland and Dr. Bickman cover every surprising challenge that new moms face.

  The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli

  The many lives and tragic death of Harry Freame, the Anzac hero betrayed by his nation. 
   
  Harry Freame was the first Australian to win the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Gallipoli. Raised as a samurai, he risked his life again and again to scout the beaches and hills of the battlefield, reporting invaluable intelligence back to his officers and relieving stranded soldiers who otherwise would surely have died. Some say he should have got the VC but didn't because he was half-Japanese, a fact he tried hard to conceal. 
   
  After the war, Harry (real name Henry Wykeham Koba Freame) became a soldier settler and champion apple grower. But when Japan emerged as a perceived threat to Australia, Harry was recruited into Australian intelligence to spy on the Japanese community in Sydney. Before Japan's entry into World War II, Australia opened a diplomatic legation in Tokyo, and Harry was sent as a translator - but his real role was a spy. Extraordinarily, his cover was leaked by the Australian press, and the Japanese secret police tried to assassinate him not long after his arrival in Tokyo in 1941. Harry died back in Australia a few weeks later, but his sacrifice has never been acknowledged by Australia. 
   
  Until now. Featuring never-before-seen material, The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli is a fascinating and immersive investigation into a grievous historical wrong.

  In his twenties, Ed Garland came close to suicide but later discovered reading to help him cope with hearing loss and tinnitus. In this unique blend of memoir and literary criticism, right at the cutting edge of research drawing on both the literary and the medical worlds, the author reveals his own journey – through music then fiction – towards an understanding of sonic loss and, ultimately, towards healing. A genre-busting mix of literary criticism, sound studies and memoir, the essays explore what fictional sonic experiences can tell us about sound in everyday life. Written with humorous honesty about the ups and downs – mostly downs – of a young man's mental health, this is a thoughtful and original exploration of recovey, and of literature's ability to challenge preconceptions.
  The English-language fiction classics of Wales explored include the work of Margiad Evans, Bernice Rubens, and Deborah Kay Davies. The international titles are by Annie Proulx and Samuel Beckett. Earwitness amplifies the rich connections between literature, auditory perception and mental wellbeing.

  English Journey: ‘The finest...

  ‘The finest book ever written about England and the English’ Stuart Maconie 
  ‘J. B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi Dench 
  Three years before George Orwell made his expedition to the far and frozen North in The Road to Wigan Pier, celebrated writer and broadcaster JB Priestley cast his net wider, in a book subtitled ‘a Rambling but Truthful Account of What One Man Saw and Heard and Felt and Thought During a Journey Through England During the Autumn of the Year 1933.’ Appearing first in 1934, it was a huge and immediate success. Today, it still stands as a timeless classic: warm-hearted, intensely patriotic and profound. 
  An account of his journey through England – from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home – English Journey is funny and tender. But it is also a forensic reading of a changing England and a call to arms as passionate as anything in Orwell’s bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalysed the public mood of its time. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, writing scathingly about vested interests and underlining the dignity of working people, Priestley influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate a public consensus for change that led to the birth of the welfare state. 
  Prophetic and as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, English Journey is an elegant and readable love letter to a country Priestley finds unfathomable. 
  Priestley's English Journey is a special exploration of Britain, a top choice for those who appreciate travelogues and social history. His essays are a testament to his deep affection for his homeland, marking this book as one of the best in non-fiction. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (The Marches), Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am), and Marion Turner (The Wife of Bath).

  The Latter Days of Wizadora -...

  She was once a whimsical wizardess solving magical mishaps on children’s television. Now she’s navigating midlife, burnout, and the absurdities of modern life—one disastrous spell at a time. 
  The Latter Days of: Wizadora is a biting satire that reimagines a beloved childhood icon in a world where magic has become mundane, nostalgia is monetized, and the pressure to "find yourself" can only be solved with too much gin. 
  Once an effortlessly magical being who captivated young audiences, Wizadora now lives above a vape shop in Luton, working a soul-sucking job at the Department of Arcane Complaints and Refunds. Her wand’s broken, her plants are staging protests, and her magical mishaps—including summoning her naked ex in front of a Parent & Witchcraft group—have made her a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons. 
  This novel skewers the societal obsession with staying young, relevant, and "magical" in an increasingly cynical, oversaturated world. It takes a sharp, hilarious look at the illusions of modern life—where social media influencers glow with "ancient prophecies," smartphones sprout wings, and the self-help industry has turned every personal failure into a product. 
  Wizadora’s journey is about coming to terms with who we thought we should be, versus who we really are—and the hilarious, painful absurdity of it all. 
  Through wit, absurdity, and surprisingly tender moments, The Latter Days of: Wizadora offers a scathing commentary on nostalgia, societal expectations, and the overwhelming pressure to "find your magic" in a world that no longer believes in it. 
  Magic isn’t what it was. But neither are we. And that’s fine.
