Baxter: The Rabbit Who Cared - Michelle Dawn Sullivan
''No-one will protect what they don''t care about.'' Sir David Attenborough. Baxter has everything a rabbit needs to be happy and healthy, except for some friends to play with. So Pollie, his owner, brings two rabbits home to stay, but will they be well-behaved, friendly and caring, or will they get up to mischief, be unkind and bully him? What could happen to make them change? And what will they, and Pollie, teach us about saving the planet along the way? In this unique book, each chapter in the story has an environmental education issue woven into it, and then a set of questions which explores these issues further. Some of these issues include what animals need from their environment to survive and how we, as humans, are stopping them from obtaining these, and the need for clean water. It teaches children practical ways to care for animals and the planet, but also goes one step further and teaches us why we should care. The last chapter looks at treating each other well, caring for each other and working together, which are often overlooked aspects of environmental education. This gives this book a fresh approach to environmental education and saving the planet.

The Betrayal of Anne Frank - Rosemary Sullivan
Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept The mystery has haunted generations since the Second World War: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Now, thanks to radical new technology and the obsession of a retired FBI agent, this book offers an answer. Rosemary Sullivan unfolds the story in a gripping, moving narrative. Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teenaged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works - journalism, books, plays and novels - devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years - and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents - some never before seen - and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilising methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest - and came to a shocking conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behaviour of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.

The Devil's Best Trick - Randall Sullivan
How we explain the evils of the world - and the darkest parts of ourselves - has preoccupied humans throughout history. In The Devil's Best Trick, Randall Sullivan investigates historical, religious and cultural conceptions of evil, from Biblical times to European witch hunts to the devil-worshipping 'Black Mass' ceremony. He travels to Mexico to participate in the 'Hour of the Witches' - an annual ceremony in which hundreds of people congregate in the jungle south of Vera Cruz to negotiate terms with El Diablo.He takes us through the most famous exorcism in American history. And he delivers original reporting on the shocking story of a small town in Texas that, in 1988, unravelled into paranoia and panic after a seventeen-year-old boy was found hanging from a tree and rumours about Satanic worship and cults flourished. Nimble and expertly researched, The Devil's Best Trick brilliantly melds cultural and historical commentary with a suspenseful true-crime narrative.Randall Sullivan, whose reportage and narrative skill has been called 'extraordinary' and 'enthralling' by Rolling Stone, takes on a bold task in this book that is both biography of the Devil and a look at how evil manifests in the world.

The Look - Michelle Obamová
Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never-before-seen images, The Look is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama's style evolution, in her own words for the first time. In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband's U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady of the United States and today as one of the country's most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama's trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves. Obama's intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life - from the colourful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between. In The Look, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how - when wielded with grace and care - they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear.Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you're wearing something that's intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.

The Age of Diagnosis - Suzanne O’Sullivan
***THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK A BEST BOOK OF 2025 IN THE TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES, GUARDIAN, LONDON STANDARD, NEW STATESMAN AND IRISH TIMES ''Covers so many topics that have been troubling me but I hadn''t been able to resolve myself - as a parent and a clinician. An absolutely absorbing read'' - CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN''A brilliant study of the dangers of overdiagnosis'' - GUARDIAN''Compassionate and bracingly independent thinking'' - THE TIMESFrom autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good? The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn. Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be ''normal''. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they''re even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren''t as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients.Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr Suzanne O''Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.*As heard on Good Morning Britain, Sky News, Radio 4 Today and more.*

Mary and The Rabbit Dream - Noemi Kiss-Deaki
Mary Toft was just another eighteenth century woman living in poverty, misery and frequent pain. Mary Toft was the kind of person overlooked by those with power, forgotten by historians. Mary Toft was nothing. Until, that is, Mary Toft started giving birth to rabbits... In Mary and the Rabbit Dream, the sensational debut novelist Noemi Kiss-Deaki reimagines Mary''s strange and fascinating story - and how she found fame when a large swathe of England became convinced that she was the mother of rabbits. Mary and the Rabbit Dream is a story of bodily autonomy, of absurdity, of the horrors inflicted on women, of the cruel realities of poverty and the grotesque divides between rich and poor. It''s a book that matters deeply - and it''s also a compelling page-turner. A story told with exquisite wit, skill and a beautiful streak of subversive mischief.

The Rabbit Between Us - Victor Menza
One morning as they parted, Victor Menza's young daughter handed him a bunny postcard. This gift made him wonder anew why rabbits were their symbol of visitation: "How did this kind of creature become such a powerful way of feeling your presence?" Through philosophy, history, education, art, and personal musing on everyday uncanny experiences, Menza reveals why people have long found rabbits our special kin and emblems of love. Menza considers human nature and how we are undone by separation--both from one another and from our childhood selves. Surprising allies in these non-traditional philosophical wanderings include Ludwig Wittgenstein, J. L. Austin, William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Bowen, William Turner, Albert Murray, Beatrix Potter, Henry Koster's film Harvey, Jean Toomer, Donald Winnicott, Leopold Senghor, and Lev Vygotsky. Menza offers examinations of what symbols are and how they work, the value of dialect, and the subversive lessons in animal fables, alongside his thoughts on language learning, memory, and slavery. Only now did he see that he'd taken to Brer Rabbit early on. Just as the Uncle Remus tales displayed the small hero's virtues in warm dialogues, The Rabbit Between Us shows how we abound in talents and moves when we 'lean like Socrates did to the Aesop in us'. Gentle and political at once, this unique book will appeal to any intellectually curious reader.

But when he wakes up, he finds a hand reaching for him, and a lady proclaiming that she has always wanted a kitten – and will name him Luigi! At first, a somewhat puzzled Luigi, used to being left alone to creep and dangle and spin webs, resists her kind advances. But soon, tasty breakfasts and getting tucked into bed (no one’s ever wished him good night before) have him thinking that kittens surely live magical lives. I will be a kitten! he decides. But how long can he keep up his façade, and what might be at stake in pretending to be someone you’re not?

The New Jim Crow - Michelle Alexander
The iconic New York Times bestseller that ''struck the spark that would eventually light the fire of Black Lives Matter'' (Ibram X. Kendi)Named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 21st century by Entertainment Weekly‚ Slate‚ Chronicle of Higher Education‚ Literary Hub and Book RiotOnce in a great while a book comes along that radically changes our understanding of a crucial political issue and helps to fuel a social movement. The New Jim Crow is such a book. Lawyer and activist Michelle Alexander offers a stunning account of the rebirth of a caste-like system in the United States, one that has resulted in millions of African Americans locked behind bars and then relegated to a permanent second-class status, denied the very rights supposedly won in the Civil Rights movement. Challenging the notion that the election of Barack Obama signalled a new era of colourblindness in the United States, The New Jim Crow reveals how racial discrimination was not ended but merely redesigned. By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of colour, the American criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, relegating millions to a permanent second-class status even as it formally adheres to the principle of colourblindness. A searing call to action for everyone concerned with social justice, The New Jim Crow is one of the most important books about race in the 21st century.
