    Before we looked to the skies, we learned the world by walking it. 
    In Earth Underfoot, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis turns his gaze downward — to the soil, stone, and stories beneath our feet. From the red dust of the Australian outback to the moss-covered trails of northern Scotland, Davis explores how the very ground we walk on shapes culture, memory, and meaning. 
    With the curiosity of an explorer and the lyricism of a poet, he uncovers the hidden worlds of geology, ecology, and human history that exist in every footprint. Each chapter is a reminder that travel isn’t only about where we go — but how deeply we pay attention to what carries us there. 
    Evocative, tactile, and profoundly meditative, Earth Underfoot is an ode to slowness, presence, and the enduring bond between people and planet.

    The official authorized companion to the much-loved Netflix show Emily in Paris. Paris, J'Adore! is Emily Cooper's diary about her life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by, Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections:  Emily's Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers - from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a Parisian;  Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing along to;  Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquée de Paris to the Atelier des Lumières, and from small independent French cinemas to delightful neighbourhood restaurants;   Emily's Workplace Paris - how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media;   Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the opulence of the Château de Versailles.  Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift for all the fans of the show.

    'A must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan-Jones 
    This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog.  
    They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. 
    Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs. 
    Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs. 
    He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. 
    Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion.  
    ‘This book is a wonderful read. Full of insights, essential as well as practical advice on dogs.’ Niall Harbison 
    Drawing on ethology, zoology and the sciences, Wooler delivers a practical, personal non-fiction guide and reference that makes animal behaviour feel understandable for everyday life with pets. With a keen eye for nature and a gift for showing the small moments that matter, he reveals how thoughtful training can transform the way animals and people communicate. 
    For fans of Patricia B. Mcconnell (The Cautious Canine-How to Help Dogs Conquer Their Fears), Kevin Behan (Your Dog Is Your Mirror), Kim Brophey (Meet Your Dog), Markus Zusak (Three Wild Dogs), and Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton (The Heat of the Moment).
