  ‘The most life-affirming book ever written about death.’ Sandi Toksvig‘One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief that you will ever read.’ Anita Anand 
  ‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’ 
  Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them. 
  In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently. 
  In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love—for John and Andy and each other. 
  ‘We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room. 
  ‘In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can’t touch, each other and the lovely dead.’ 
  Catherine Mayer's Good Grief is a top-rated autobiography that explores the psychology of grief and bereavement. It is a profound exploration of relationships, marriage, and family, providing a long-term perspective on dealing with loss. 
  For fans of Angela Levin (Harry), Robert Jobson (Diana), Rachel Clarke (Your Life In My Hands), Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), and Donna Ashworth (Loss).

  In this innovative and concise work, Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu offers a compelling approach to understanding and fighting the increase in domestic and international terrorism throughout the world. Citing diverse examples from around the globe, Netanyahu demonstrates that domestic terrorist groups are usually no match for an advanced technological society which can successfully roll back terror without any significant curtailment of civil liberties. But Netanyahu sees an even more potent threat from the new international terrorism which is increasingly the product of Islamic militants, who draw their inspiration and directives from Iran and its growing cadre of satellite states. The spread of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, coupled with the possibility that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, poses a more frightening threat from an adversary less rational and therefore less controllable than was Soviet Communism. How democracies can defend themselves against this new threat concludes this provocative book.

  In Three Days in Moscow (2018), Bret Baier of Fox News and his co-writer Catherine Whitney tell a story of patriotism, courage, and ambition, about a man who went to the full extent for the sake of his nation, without ever compromising democracy. 
  This political biography focuses on President Ronald Reagan’s agenda during his final years in office, before the fall of the Soviet Union. It chronicles major stages that marked his two-term presidency, especially his visit to the USSR for the Moscow summit with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Both leaders showed how long-term enemies could break through historical grievances for the common interest of their nations, as a new, post-Soviet era finally started to unfold. Reagan felt he only had three days to make his appeal and convince the Russian people of the importance of democracy; he had been awaiting this moment for the majority of his life.
