📚OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK📚

STILL ME: A NEUROSCIENTISTS’S GUIDE TO CARING FOR SOMEONE WITH DEMENTIA by neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan is out now in paperback, with a foreword written by Davina McCall. 📚⭐️

Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming. But there is life after diagnosis.

STILL ME reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey. Sabina combines her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for her mother with dementia. With a human-rights approach that
validates everyone’s experience and dignity, STILL ME shifts the focus from the disease to the person, reminding you that your relative is still there and that you, as a care
partner, are just as important. ⭐️

RIPENING: WHY WOMEN NEED FAIRYTALES NOW by award-winning author, psychologist and mythologist Sharon Blackie is out now.

In this world in which all our old certainties seem to be crumbling, Sharon Blackie insists that fairy tales are precisely the stories we need for such times. RIPENING is
about taking responsibility for our own stories and about what it means to live a good life. Sharon says:

‘The fairy tale heroine achieves this not as a consequence of what she says or the virtues she signals – but as a consequence of what she does, of the virtues she
embodies, and of who she is shown in the end to be. Encoded within these strange and beautiful old stories is information about the behaviours and qualities of character that will help us to forge a safe, solid and meaningful path through all manner of testing times….When you live in dangerous times, these stories tell us, you always have a
choice about how to react – and then about how to act. It’s no good just wring your hands as you squat in your heap of ashes, or to sit at your spinning wheel all day and weep. It’s no good to doomscroll; it’s no good to beat yourself up for all the things you imagine you should be doing but aren’t. The first things you need to do are what humans have always done in dangerous times: find something to eat, then find something to love. Take shelter. Do something that grounds you; take control of as many of your own choices as you can.’ 🍎✨

✨️ HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY! ✨️

Congratulations to Paulina Rowińska on the paperback publication of MAPMATICS in the US.

🗺 Why are coastlines and borders so difficult to measure? How does a UPS driver deliver hundreds of packages in a single day? And where do elusive serial killers hide? The answers lie in the crucial connection between maps and math. 🗺

Written with authority and compassion, wit and unforgettable storytelling, this is math exposition at its best. By unpacking the math behind the maps we depend on, MAPMATICS illuminates how our world works and, ultimately, how we can better look after it.

Out now in paperback by !

🌿HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY🌿

My Body is a Meadow is out today! Huge congratulations to Bethany and thanks to Bianca Bexton and all at Headline Press for shepherding this wonderful book into the world.

Bethany had always felt most at home out in the wilds of the Welsh countryside, but when she became a full-time wheelchair user in her twenties, she suddenly found herself locked out of the landscapes she once belonged to. Unearthing parallels between land ownership and privatised healthcare, biodiversity loss and social marginalisation, Bethany explores the lessons nature can teach us about inclusion and interdependence, ableism and climate justice. Passionate, political and lyrical, MY BODY IS A MEADOW is Handley's rallying cry to make nature accessible for everyone.

We are so delighted to see Mark Williamson’s warmhearted, practical and science-backed MAKE LIFE HAPPIER debut at #1 on the Sunday Times Bestseller list. An engineer by training, Mark switched career and purpose midlife to discover what makes us happier. It turns out that it’s not all about us…

Well done to Mark for his hard work, the Action for Happiness community for their support, and to Carole Tonkinson and the brilliant team at LEAP for their creativity, diligence and attention to detail. 😊

⭐️HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY⭐️

THE ADHD SLEEP BOOK by psychotherapist and sleep specialist Heather Darwall-Smith is out now. 📚

Awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity is growing rapidly, with diagnoses increasing and many more recognising symptoms without a formal diagnosis. But when it comes to sleep, it is common to spread the same advice – go to bed earlier, wind down, cut screen time – without considering how sleep affects the neurodivergent mind differently.

In THE ADHD SLEEP BOOK, Heather Darwall-Smith guides you through sleep advice tailored for your unique brain with expertise and compassion. Through relatable
scenarios and practical interventions, this book help you understand:

- Why sleep deprivation hits people with ADHD so hard
- Why traditional sleep advice fails neurodivergent minds
- How to create a realistic sleep routine and bedtime system that actually works for your brain

Supportive, validating and practical, THE ADHD SLEEP BOOK will help you feel understood, empowered and equipped to make realistic changes, so you can finally get
the sleep you need.

RIPENING: Sharon Blackie’s much-anticipated next book, will be out in 3 weeks. 🍎

‘Fairy tales matter because at the heart of every one of them is transformation.’

Because hidden inside fairy tales are archetypal images, motifs and themes which capture our imagination and show us how the transformation we’re longing for might be
achieved. They help us believe in the possibility of real change, and reveal the skills that are required to face challenging transitions.

Fairy tales are set in difficult and dangerous times. Which is why we need them more than ever to reflect our lives back to us, and to show us the way forward.

‘Sharon Blackie ventures further than most of us have courage for, and then comes back with a map’. Melissa Harrison.

Preorder from Waterstones with code RIPENING26 for 25% off for a limited time, or if you’d like a signed edition specially produced with red spredges for indie shops see
