    What if Alexander the Great never died in Babylon? 
    Empire Rewritten reimagines a world where the most brilliant conqueror of the ancient world lives on—and reshapes everything. From surviving the fever that took him in his prime, to confronting rebellion in Greece and forging a global army, this book explores the turning point of a life extended and a history rewritten. 
    This is not dry historical theory. It's living, breathing storytelling—deeply human, yet rich with global vision. With immersive characters, geopolitical stakes, and a reimagined ancient world pulsing with possibility, Empire Rewritten is the beginning of an epic journey that spans not just continents—but ideas. 
    This first book covers Alexander's survival, the renewed Persian dream, his growing spiritual aura, the resistance from within Greece, and his deeper dive into unifying cultures by choice, not force. This is where myth meets the realpolitik of empire—and a different future begins.

    'Harpy made me nod in recognition, and shake my head with sorrow, and then it made me laugh out loud' EMILIE PINE, author of NOTES TO SELF and RUTH & PEN
    'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE
    
    Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.
    
    In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER  
    The inside story of Mikel Arteta’s astonishing transformation of Arsenal 
    November 2019. Unai Emery’s final game as Arsenal manager sees the Gunners languishing eighth in the league. Appointed in the dying embers of the Wenger years, Emery’s 18 months as Arsenal boss has seen the team and the club go backwards – playing unimaginative, pragmatic football, and recently losing to London rivals Chelsea in the final of the Europa League. Something had to change; a fresh head with fresh ideas. A new leader. 
    This is the story of how Mikel Arteta turned Arsenal into one of the most exciting, innovative and feared teams in the league. From cutting his teeth as an assistant under Pep Guardiola before joining Arsenal in the winter of 2019, through to title contenders years later – including bust-ups, Covid, disappointments, FA Cup wins, fan revolt, and eventually the rise of an extraordinary young team standing on the edge of greatness – this book will be the first of its kind to explore the workings of Arteta’s philosophy and how he transformed the club from outsiders to title challengers. 
    With chapters on his tactical innovations, in-game strategies, transfer insight and, of course, an account of the memorable 2022-23 season – Revolution is the story of an extraordinary football ascent and the first draft of Arsenal’s new history. 
    The latest bestseller, Revolution, is a non-fiction masterpiece that chronicles the rise of Arsenal in the 21st century under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. It provides an in-depth look into the economics and management strategies employed, making it a must-read for fans and business enthusiasts alike. 
    For fans of Ray Walker (The Ultimate Los Angeles Rams Trivia Book), Joshua Robinson (Messi vs. Ronaldo), David Dein (Calling the Shots), Jon Spurling (Get It On), and Ian Wright (A Life in Football).

    You will be thrilled to find a book that answers what happened to America so you can help heal our beloved country. In 1995, Karen Horwitz, aka the CHANGE EVERYTHING TEACHER, discovered our schools suffered from the 'Harvey Weinstein syndrome'—the powerful get their way no matter how wicked until someone finds the courage to expose them. She wrote a memoir to do to those running our schools what that brave actress who testified against Weinstein did — expose and end wrongdoing of a different kind. Readers will learn why we have school shootings and how to end them and restore democracy.She names the corruption that transformed our schools from revered institutions to mere shells White Chalk Crime™ and reveals how it dismantled democracy. The sheer audacity and disbelief of this corruption prompted her to write a book so that citizens could comprehend its extent. She warns, "There are consequences for a society that allows evil an honored home. One is school shootings, which are the tip of the democracy-destroying iceberg, taking our country down Titanic-style. Abraham Lincoln warned, 'The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.'  When I taught, it was as if  Trump ran our schools."She reveals that those in power secretly thwart school reform and presents an 'idea invention' that will revolutionize education as Jeff Bezos did to marketing and Steve Jobs to computers. It includes a blueprint for top-notch schools that ensures a home for great teachers and tells about a grassroots movement for change.This book is a beacon of hope, showing that change is within reach. It inspires the reader to feel optimistic about the future of education and democracy. This engaging and insightful book on education takes those who cherish democracy and fear autocracy on a journey deep inside our schools, where the root of many of this nation's challenges lies. It will change a whole lot. PDFs at WhiteChalkCrime.com/audio

    A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
     
     
     
    Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
     
     
     
    The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.
