    Both a celebration and a lament for Ukraine, a moving personal memoir taking us from Katya's idyllic childhood with her siblings: holidays in Crimea and carefree days working the land at the Dacha; to the sickening impact of Putin's invasion and its effect on Katya, her friends and family - the anxiety, fear and heartache. The desperate attempts to make contact with friends and ensure loved ones are safe.  Throughout it all bestrides Babushka, Katya's 'favourite person on earth' still living in the family's apartment block in Kyiv.  Babushka learned fortitude at an early age when her own mother was taken by the Germans and she was rescued by a Jewish doctor whose identity was kept secret.  When she is not growing vegetables and making vats of borsch, she is reading the sexy bits from novels out loud to her granddaughter.  But in this last year she has turned her hand to a recipe of a different type - Molotov cocktails - in preparation for an attack on her apartment block. Combining prose, poetry, collage, maps and illustrations this is a truly immersive memoir – an authentic portrait of the impact of war.

    Have you ever observed someone you admire, and thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to be like them and have my shit together too"? 
    That's something Harv often reflected on in his early years, navigating a plethora of challenges coming from many different angles. 
    Here’s the thing – they’re highly likely to be still working on ‘getting their shit’ together’. However, a few have chosen a unique method of personal and professional development using the Collective Intelligence methodology. They do this with like-hearted others to guide them on their pathway to becoming their true selves and unlocking their potential. And they’re still on their journey. 
    In a world where we are increasingly disconnected and fed information that reinforces our existing views, Collective Itelligence provides that level of connection, challenge, safety and care that nurtures curiosity and can help you on your journey.  
    Our author, Ian (Harv) Harvey, a former sheep, beef and deer farmer, chose a different path in his late 40’s to satisfy an itch that just wouldn’t go away. He established Collective Intelligence, a diverse, human ecosystem that takes inspiration from mother nature to grow more emotionally intelligent leaders. As Harv says, “The gift of not being an expert is that it leaves you so much room to be curious about what the fuck is actually going on, and how we best respond to that”. 
    You’ll be inspired to start your own journey with Harv through his earthy, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, but always true and engaging stories, of his own journey of ‘getting his shit together’. And he’s still not there!

    A New York Times Notable Book   
    The Professor and the Madman is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary—and literary history. 
    The making of the OED was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor James Murray, was stunned to discover that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had submitted more than ten thousand. But their surprise would pale in comparison to what they were about to discover when the committee insisted on honoring him. For Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane. 
    Masterfully researched and eloquently written, The Professor and the Madman “is the linguistic detective story of the decade.” (William Safire, New York Times Magazine) 
    This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
