  Born into a royal household, Pyrrhus was destined for greatness. He fought in many battles throughout his life, but his campaigns against Rome established his reputation as a commander. Many of his victories were only achieved through heavy losses, however, which is where the term “Pyrrhic victory” comes from. From this dramatic account of Pyrrhus’ life, it’s easy to see why his contemporaries considered his valor unmatched.

  Feeling Is The Secret is Neville’s classic on why emotion is the “seal” that impresses the subconscious. He explains that what you feel to be true, especially as you fall asleep, hardens into fact. The book teaches you to generate the feeling of the wish fulfilled, relax the body, and let the mind accept the new reality as natural. It’s short, focused, and intensely practical.
  
  Feeling as the key to impressing the subconscious
  “Wish fulfilled” as a lived inner state
  Sleep-state practice (SATS) for assumption
  Simple, repeatable technique for daily use

  Heretics

  G.K. Chesterton

  'Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to suit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.'
  
  Published in 1905, Heretics is Chesterton's fascinating reckoning with atheism. Wide-ranging in topic and eloquently argued, it is a significant work in Chesterton's corpus of moral theology.
  
  A compelling series of twenty essays, Heretics sees Chesterton take aim at fashionable contemporary thinkers – writers and philosophers such as H. G. Wells, Rudyard Kipling and Bernard Shaw – who are proponents of rebellion and relativism. With his razor-sharp wit and charm, Chesterton cleverly unpicks these concepts, arguing that there is a better way forward. For Chesterton, true heresy isn't breaking dogma, but rather it's pretending that there's no truth at all. Championing common sense, tradition and the beauty of belief, Heretics is bold, wildly entertaining and a passionate call for us to think more deeply about the role of faith in our lives.
  Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.

  A visual feast of 49 weird, wonderful and architecturally astounding swimming pools from around the world.
  This book is a sumptuous celebration of swimming pools as playgrounds of pioneering design and architectural excess. Banish memories of crowded leisure centres and sun lounger-clad lidos, these are pools designed for pleasure, not purpose. Swimming pools are no longer simply places to swim, they are versatile sites of activity and excess. They can be vital lifelines providing communities with safe access to water, domestic symbols of affluence, and the avant-garde spectacle of hotel developers.
  Naina Gupta uncovers some of the most spectacular swimming pools from around the world, including Berthold Lubetkin's modernist Penguin Pool at London Zoo, the world's largest infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands, Ricardo Bofill's blood-red garden pool in Spain, and London's unparalleled Sky Pool. Extraordinary Pools also includes 4 extended essays on various aspects of pool culture, such as the use of empty swimming pools in California by skateboarders. 
  Illustrated throughout with awe-inspiring colour photography, Extraordinary Pools is a mosaic of exceptional public and private pools, reasserting the protean quality of the swimming pool as a space of activity, pleasure and excess.

  Settling the Boom - The Sites...

  Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and narratives order a resource boom 
   
   
   
  Over the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries. Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. 
   
   
   
  This collection reveals the results of sustained research in Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the "Bakken Boom." While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead, Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism's violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.
