  'Women have Bridget Jones. Men have no one. Until now.' Ricky Gervais 
  In the best-selling tradition of Clarkson and Moyles, this is TV and Radio personality Christian O’Connell’s take on all things men. 
  For ten years Christian has dispensed his wisdom and advice to millions of lucky radio listeners on every topic conceivable. It was when he saw his wife reading and laughing at a book ‘How to Kill Your Husband’ that he realised he had to write this book. 
  In his sage opinion, men need to be saved from themselves. Women need to understand men better and stop hating them and men need to make sense of why they are they way they are. 
  'The Trouble With Men' reveals some hard but hilarious truths about the male race. Who do men actually look to for inspiration? The Hoff? Simon Cowell? James Blunt? Why do men behave in that odd way at barbecues? Why can a man have his heart broken a thousand times by his football team and yet still forgive them more than he would a woman? 
  With his outspoken humour and his ironic take on life, Christian explores male-dom, celebrating all that is great about being a man and unravelling the mysteries of masculinity that have stumped women for centuries. 
  Includes:Superheroes – all of them let us down. Here’s why.The Ultimate History of Men… from caves to Ikea.The Man Test – a highly unscientific flow chart to determine just how confused you are right now.The Perfect Man – if Apple designed men…Men and Cooking – the most important part of nutrition. TV snacks.What We Want from Women – show up naked. Bring beer.Rules and Codes – the unwritten, never discussed rules about how to behave in bathrooms, cars and out and aboutMen and Sex – ‘touch them there and they love it.’Imagine a World Without Us – heaven or hell?Communication – friend and foe.What’s the Point of Us? – enough with the slagging off. Here’s what we rule at… 
  Drawing from his own life, Christian O'Connell's The Men Commandments is more than just a biography; it's an autobiography that delves into the psyche of the modern man. It's a humorous, insightful exploration of masculinity that every man can relate to and every woman can learn from. 
  For fans of James Brown (Animal House), Sam Delaney (Sort Your Head Out), Harry Hill (Fight!), Ted Kessler (Paper Cuts), and Simon Halfon (Supersonic).

  The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.

  The Red Hot Chili Peppers is the iconic band's audacious look back at their thirty-year odyssey—in their own words and accompanied by more than 300 spectacular photos and ephemera. Intimate, breathtaking, and outrageous, this is the essence of the Red Hot Chili Peppers."I am struck with the moments of these photos, the feelings of the times they were taken, and where we were at on our beautiful and happy-sad journey. It's pretty fucking heavy, actually, like thinking how much we have changed over the years, and all the different dynamics of our lives that shaped us, and also realizing so clearly that nothing has changed at all—we're all still just trying to get it on, make something great."It is all here, nothing can hide: all the honesty, the pretense, the courage and one-of-a-kind-ness, the unbridled joy, the melancholy, and the shields we put up to shelter our scared, vulnerable little selves."—Flea

  A Little Book about Big ChangeWe all want the same things. We want to live a life of purpose and meaning. We want to leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren. We want to leave the world a better place. And yet we spend so much time wringing our hands over what's wrong and not nearly enough time fixing those things within our control.John Kasich has walked the corridors of power both in the politics, as a former leader of Congress, governor of Ohio, presidential candidate, and in the private sector, as an in-demand public speaker, best-selling author and a strategic advisor to businesses and large non-profits. Yet he's seen that the most powerful movements have started from the bottom up. Rather than waiting on Washington, the solutions happen once we become leaders in our own lives and communities. The strength and resilience of our nation lies in each of us. That's what this book is about.In It's Up to Us, Kasich shares the ten little ways we each can bring about big change. Taken together, they chart a path for each to follow as we look to live a life bigger than ourselves. Taken one-by-one, they can help to lift us from a place of outrage or complacency or helplessness and move us closer to our shared American dream.
