    'Too often we minimise the reality of terminal cancer, concentrating instead on survival records and talking only in positive pink ribbon terms. But what of those who live daily with the shadow of the disease? This is a book about how that feels. It is about how to die as much as about to how to live; yet it is also life-affirming, funny and shot through with hope.'Life is full of small details that we tuck away somewhere to revisit when we need them most: the calming sound of the sea, that childlike joy when you feel the sun hit your face on an early February morning. These small details knitted together, make up our perfect, ordinary lives. Few understood the importance of these  more than Sarah Hughes, who lived with terminal  metastatic cancer for over three years and who died in April 2021. This book is a celebration of everything that can make up a life, and how to hold it all close: how to cherish the perspective-changing, exhale-bringing perspective of a trashy novel; how to find the upside of chemo (finally being able to fit into flippy french tea dresses); how to explore the intimate topography of a body that's yours and yours alone. For fans of Matt Haig and Maggie O'Farrell, this is a tender word-of-mouth bestseller: the sort of book you'll press into the hands of your friends, family and a stranger in a bookshop.

    The Wayfinder tells the story of the life of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding President of the United Arab Emirates, and explores the key relationships, challenges and events that shaped his outlook on the world. 
    Extensively researched, it takes readers behind the scenes into the delicate negotiations that led to the formation of the UAE in 1971, and the gradual consolidation of the union that occurred in the often turbulent decades that followed the country’s founding. It also examines Sheikh Zayed’s responses to several major world events, including the British withdrawal from the Gulf in 1971, the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the first Gulf War in 1991, the Iraq War in 2003, and the 9/11 terror attacks. 
    The Wayfinder provides new insights into the life and legacy of one of the most transformative yet historically overlooked political leaders of the 20th century, whose words and actions continue to have a lasting influence on the UAE, its leaders and its people.

    Naturalism is a philosophical worldview that asserts that everything that exists, and every phenomenon that occurs, is a product of natural laws and processes. It contends that the universe operates without the need for supernatural explanations or interventions. In essence, naturalism posits that the natural world, as observed through science, is all there is. This perspective has deep roots in both philosophy and science, offering a framework for understanding reality that relies heavily on empirical evidence and reasoned inquiry. 
    At its core, naturalism rejects supernatural forces, divine beings, or metaphysical entities as explanations for natural phenomena. Instead, it emphasizes that everything in the universe, from the smallest particles to the vastness of the cosmos, can be understood in terms of physical, biological, and chemical laws. Naturalism also suggests that humans, as part of the natural world, are subject to the same laws governing the rest of the universe. This view aligns closely with the scientific method, which is built upon observation, experimentation, and the continual refinement of theories based on evidence. 
    In defining naturalism, it is essential to recognize its distinction from other philosophical frameworks. Unlike idealism, which asserts that reality is primarily mental or spiritual, naturalism asserts the primacy of the material world. Similarly, it differs from supernaturalism, which attributes the workings of the universe to forces beyond natural laws, such as gods or spirits. Naturalism’s embrace of the empirical allows it to form the foundation for scientific inquiry, fostering advancements in fields ranging from physics and biology to psychology and medicine.
