''Everyone loves Fergus!'' say reviewers, and now the opinionated cartoon horse and bona fide social media star is back in an all-new comic adventure. In his sixth book, Fergus is finding show ring success, clearing jumps and winning prizes. But the stress of travel and performing his best begins to take a toll, and for the first time in his friend-and-grass-filled life, Fergus doesn''t feel so good. His muscles are tight and painful, and he is always worried about silly things that used to make him laugh. When Fergus meets a gentle moustached man named Jim, he discovers a different way to spend time with humans - with their hands offering a great big release of tension from his sore spots and his busy mind. Featuring the talented Jean Abernethy''s hysterically funny illustrations and scenes replete with supporting characters as amusing as their endearingly awkward hero, Fergus and the Man Named Jim entertains while reminding us all to make the horse''s well-being a priority. Recommended for ages 5 to 95.

George Bernard Shaw's three-act love comedy Arms and the Man was staged in 1894 and released a year later. The drama satirizes romantic notions of war and valor and is set in the Bulgarian home of the Petkoff family. In Raina Petkoff's bedroom, a battle-weary officer who is a Swiss mercenary serving in the Serbian army seeks safety and she agrees to hide him from the police. Raina initially mocks the intruder's cowardliness after hearing his straightforward description of the war, in which he refutes the heroics of her fiance Sergius, but eventually comes to value his honesty. After the war is done, the captain, Captain Bluntschli, makes a return. By the play's conclusion, Raina has engaged Bluntschli, who recently inherited a series of Swiss hotels, and Sergius has promised himself to maidservant Louka, whose fiancé, the manservant Nicola, voluntarily renounces his claim to her. The Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885 is depicted in the drama. Young Bulgarian woman Raina Petkoff, the book's protagonist, is engaged to Sergius Sarnofff, one of the war's heroes whom she adores.

A superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League is a brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world.Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions.The Anti-Catastrophe League, informed by the author’s experience of working in the field of what is known as existential risk, tells the story of a species that is working out how to defuse several bombs at once. From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are doing everything in their considerable power to prevent the worst from befalling us. On the way we meet AI mind readers, an economist from ALLFED (the Alliance to Feed Earth in Disasters), a physicist trying to evade death, a physicist who, having lost his best friend to a hospital superbug, invented a lightbulb that kills germs in mid-air, and the man tasked with tracking down and rounding up all of the USSR’s biological and nuclear weapons – amongst many, many others.An imperious work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent – and with echoes of Jon Ronson, Dan Schreiber and The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman – The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world – and what we can do about it.

When Bill Masen wakes up blindfolded in hospital there is a bitter irony in his situation. Carefully removing his bandages, he realizes that he is the only person who can see: everyone else, doctors and patients alike, have been blinded by a meteor shower. Now, with civilization in chaos, the triffids - huge, venomous, large-rooted plants able to ''walk'', feeding on human flesh - can have their day. The Day of the Triffids, published in 1951, expresses many of the political concerns of its time: the Cold War, the fear of biological experimentation and the man-made apocalypse. However, with its terrifyingly believable insights into the genetic modification of plants, the book is more relevant today than ever before.John Wyndham was born in 1903. After a wide experience of the English preparatory school he was at Bedales from 1918 to 1921. Careers which he tried included farming, law, commercial art, and advertising, and he first started writing short stories, intended for sale, in 1925. During the war he was in the Civil Service and afterwards in the Army. In 1946 he began writing his major science fiction novels including "The Kraken Wakes", "The Chrysalids" and "The Midwich Cuckoos".
