  What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well? 
  In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed. 
  This modern translation captures the tension, ambiguity, and unresolved nature of Plato’s shortest dialogue—offering a powerful look at the limits of inspiration without action. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Direct Challenge to Socratic Philosophy – Clitophon accuses Socrates of failing to guide others to virtue 
  •	A Dialogue Unlike Any Other – Brief, mysterious, and unresolved—leaving interpretation open 
  •	The Limits of Inspiration – Explore the gap between admiration and transformation 
  •	A Clear, Thoughtful Translation – Perfect for anyone studying the role of philosophy in real-life virtue 
  Experience Clitophon, Plato’s most cryptic confrontation, and decide for yourself—can words alone lead to wisdom?

  Audio Snaps Volume One - 100...

  Audio Snaps is a series of 100 minute audiobooks packed with fun stories from my books about my life in the music business. Volume One features stories from You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, a book I wrote in 1983 about my time in London in the Sixties when, amongst other things, I was managing the Yardbirds and wrote the lyrics to the song, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me. Reading it back now, it seems extraordinarily frank, more so than I might be nowadays, and sometimes rather rude too. When it came out, the music press loathed the book, I think because it trivialised the music industry, whereas the tabloids loved it. Nowadays, they’ve all come to see it as a classic of its time and the Observer newspaper has it at Number Eleven on its list of “The 50 Greatest Music Books Ever.” In the Independent, Charles Shaar Murray called my books, “ The cold print equivalent of spending an evening with a world-class raconteur.”  With Audio Snaps, you get the raconteur without wading through the cold print.

  Queens of the Nile: The Lives...

  Of all the puzzles about ancient Egypt, the pharaoh Hatshepsut stands out as one of the most remarkable rulers in the long and complex history of ancient Egypt. Although it was extremely rare for a woman to rule Egypt, it was not entirely unheard of by the time Hatshepsut became the regent of the Nile Valley. The Middle Kingdom saw a woman named Sobekneferu ascend to Egypt’s highest office, but the details of Hatshepsut’s situation are quite different (Grajetzki 2006, 61). It remains unknown just precisely how Hatshepsut was able to arrange such a coup as Thutmose II’s half-sister. The familial connection between Hatshepsut and Thutmose II meant that Thutmose III was actually the queen’s nephew, but it is likely that the two had few, if any, interactions before the death of Thutmose II. Hatshepsut’s relative middling status in the Egyptian royal house makes the situation even more intriguing.  
  	In the early 20th century, over 3,000 years after her death, Nefertiti became a household name across the world and one of the most famous women of the ancient world. Egyptologists were aware that she was a queen of the New Kingdom Egypt during the later portion of the 18th dynasty, but she was barely known until the presentation of a reconstructed bust depicting her at the Berlin Museum in 1924. Nefertiti means “the beautiful one has come”, and if the presented bust is anything to judge by, she was indeed a beautiful woman.  
  	Cleopatra was a legendary figure even to contemporary Romans and the ancient world, as Plutarch’s quote suggests, and she was a controversial figure who was equally reviled and praised through the years, depicted as a benevolent ruler and an evil seductress, sometimes at the same time. Over 2,000 years after her death, everything about Cleopatra continues to fascinate people around the world, from her lineage as a Ptolemaic pharaoh, her physical features, and her famous suicide.

  “It’s me, love … I’m The Yorkshire Ripper.” With new material from personal interviews with Peter Sutcliffe – I’m the Yorkshire Ripper offers a completely new insight into the shocking life and times of one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers. 
  When Peter Sutcliffe spoke those words to his wife Sonia following his arrest in 1981, it marked the end of a killing spree which had terrorised northern England for five years. The nation had been appalled yet gripped by the Ripper and was now fascinated by the man behind the headlines. But despite millions of words being written about the case since his arrest 40 years ago, the full Peter Sutcliffe story has never been told – until now. Based on a vast quantity of raw material collected from Sutcliffe himself over a period of 16 years, ‘I’m the Yorkshire Ripper’ is the compelling account of the most terrifying series of murders in British history – much of it in the killer’s own words.
