How Feedback Culture Drives Business Performance. Employees around the world are deprived of honest objective feedback, and the higher you go in the organization, the less feedback you are going to get. Researchers have confirmed that the less facetime employees have with their managers, the more impact that seeking and receiving feedback will have on their performance. The authors propose a simple, systematic approach to giving fair and honest feedback, in ways that improve performance and prove that, if done properly, feedback simultaneously improves performance while engaging and developing employees.

RECKONINGGRISHAM, JOHN9781473684577 P HODDER & STOUGHTON £14.99 Published 21/02/19

John Grisham returns to Clanton, Mississippi, to tell the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that follows it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of Ford County. Pete Banning was Clanton’s favourite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning in 1946, he rose early, drove into town, walked into the Church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder wasn’t shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete’s only statement about it was ‘I have nothing to say’.

Nine stressed city dwellers are keen to drop their literal and mental baggage, and absorb the meditative ambience while enjoying their hot stone massages. Miles from anywhere, without cars or phones, they have no way to reach the outside world. Just time to think about themselves, and get to know each other. Watching over them is the resort’s director, a woman on a mission. But quite a different one from any the guests might have imagined. For behind the retreat’s glamorous facade lies a dark agenda.

Soon to be a major motion picture from Paramount. The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old, unsmart, comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow, play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine was a world away from the dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway. But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children took their pets for burial. A sad place, but safe. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.

Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe. This is the dramatic story of how a noted tech venture capitalist, an early mentor to Mark Zuckerberg and investor in his company, woke up to the serious damage Facebook was doing to our society and set out to try to stop it. It is the story of a company and its leadership, but it’s also a larger tale of a business sector unmoored from normal constraints, at a moment of political and cultural crisis, the worst possible time to be given new tools for summoning the darker angels of our nature and whipping them into a frenzy.

Racism and the Rise of the Right. It is clear that the right is on the rise, but after Brexit, the election of Donald Trump and the spike in popularity of extreme-right parties across Europe, the question on everyone’s minds is: how did this happen? An expansive investigation of the ways in which a newly-configured right interconnects with anti-democratic and illiberal forces at the level of the state, ‘Europe’s Fault Lines’ provides much-needed answers, revealing some uncomfortable truths.

STONE MENROSS, ANDREW9781788730266 H VERSO PUBLISHING £16.99 Published 26/03/19

The Palestinians Who Built Israel. Drawing on hundreds of interviews in Palestine and Israel, this is the story of a fascinating, ancient trade showing how the stones of Palestine, and Palestinian labour, have been used to build out the state of Israel - in the process, constructing ‘facts on the ground’ - even while the industry is central to Palestinians’ own efforts to erect bulwarks against the Occupation. For decades, the hands that built Israel’s houses, schools, offices, bridges, and even its separation barriers have been Palestinian. This book asks how this record of achievement and labour can be recognised.

How to handle Russia? This question has become ever more prominent as the Euro-Atlantic community’s relations with Russia languish in deep and systematic crisis, with dialogue suspended, reciprocal sanctions in place and proxy wars raging. The wars in Ukraine and Syria, accusations of Russian interference in domestic politics and the attempted assassination of the Skripals on UK soil all contributed to soaring tension in the relationship.

The Life and Death of Britain’s Most Famous War Minister. Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener is most famous today as the face of the poster that led the country’s recruitment drive during the early part of the First World War. But in recent years, with the recent release of records by the government, it has been the nature of his death that has stirred up passions long forgotten.

The Quest to Understand Who Settled the Islands of the Remote Pacific. For Christina Thompson, this mystery is personal: her Maori husband and their sons descend directly from these ancient navigators. In ‘Sea People’, she explores the fascinating story of these ancestors, as well as those of the many sailors, linguists, archaeologists, folklorists, biologists and geographers who have puzzled over this history for three hundred years. A masterful mix of history, geography, anthropology, and the science of navigation, ‘Sea People’ is a vivid tour of one of the most captivating regions in the world.

MEDIEVAL BODIESHARTNELL, JACK9781781256800 P PROFILE BOOKS £12.99 Published Feb 2019

Life, Death and Art in the Middle Ages. Dripping with blood and gold, fetishized and tortured, gateway to earthly delights and point of contact with the divine, forcibly divided and powerful even beyond death, there was no territory more contested than the body in the medieval world. In ‘Medieval Bodies’, art historian Jack Hartnell uncovers the complex and fascinating ways in which the people of the Middle Ages thought about, explored and experienced their physical selves. In paintings and reliquaries that celebrated the - sometimes bizarre - martyrdoms of saints, the sacred dimension of the physical left its mark on their environment.

An everyman’s guide to a meaningful life. Men are not born men. Sometimes we all need to rethink exactly who we are and what we want to be. Deep in post-divorce soul searching, therapist John Kim did just that. He came to an astonishing realisation: he was a miserable f*ck who might just be to blame for the problems in his life. And thus began his reinvention - a period of self-reflection and self-scrutiny. He started the popular ‘Angry Therapist’ blog to document how he unpacked his emotions, his drives, his successes and his failures to help him stop acting like a boy and start living like a man. And this book tells you exactly what he learned.

Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About The World - And Why Things Are Better Than You Think. When you ask people simple questions about global trends, they systematically get the answers wrong.

Hans Rosling and his collaborators, Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling-Ronnlund, show why this happens. Here, they reveal the ten dramatic instincts, and the key preconceptions, that lead to us consistently misunderstanding how the world really works. Longlisted for the 2018 Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year.

Most people have lost everything but there are some who have found themselves eager for the chance at a new start. For Jimmy Devlin, it’s a little of both. Forced from his home by an uncompromising bailiff, Jimmy has nothing to his name and the prospect of work digging urgently needed drains could be the opportunity he’s been waiting for. But Jimmy, it seems, has a knack for finding trouble. Before long, he’s caught up in the wrong business with the people from the fairground passing through town.

A series of apparently random murders draws amiable, old-school Detective Mick Matlock into a world of sex, politics, reality TV and a bewildering kaleidoscope of opposing identity groups. Lost in a blizzard of hashtags, his already complex investigation is further impeded by the fact that he simply doesn’t ‘get’ a single thing about anything anymore. Meanwhile, each day another public figure confesses to having ‘misspoken’ and prostrates themselves before the judgement of Twitter.

‘Built on Sand’ offers a portrait of Berlin three decades on from the fall of the Wall, and the legacy of that history in a city that was once divided - and remains fractured and fragmented.

Berlin is a city named after marshland; it’s stories are stories built on sand.

Are they content to live out their lives on paper, and never step foot into the real world?’ In a remote mountain house, high in the French Alps, an author broods on Shelley’s creation. Reality and perception merge, fuelled by poisoned thoughts. Humankind makes monsters; but who really creates who?

Despite the success of Dr. Strangelove, director Stanley Kubrick wasn’t yet recognized as a great filmmaker, and 2001 was radically innovative, with little dialogue and no strong central character. Although some leading critics slammed the film as incomprehensible and self-indulgent, the public lined up to see it. 2001’s resounding commercial success launched the genre of big-budget science fiction spectaculars.

The country’s economy has been built on the back of unskilled labour - and now that wages are rising, the jobs are moving elsewhere. The past decades have seen huge investment in infrastructure, but there is almost nothing left to build... Stanford economist Scott Rozelle argues that, even as China has experienced unprecedented growth and deeply embedded itself in the world economy, it has missed a vital component in securing its future.

In 2014 the declaration of the Islamic State caliphate was hailed as a major victory by the global jihadist movement. But it was short-lived. Three years on, the caliphate was destroyed, leaving its surviving fighters - many of whom were foreign recruits - to retreat and scatter across the globe. So what happens now? Is this the beginning of the end of IS? Or can it adapt and regroup after the physical fall of the caliphate? Will it seek a rapprochement with al Qaeda? How will its tactics and strategy change? In this analysis, terrorism expert Colin P. Clarke takes stock of IS, its roots, its evolution and its monumental setbacks to assess the road ahead.

The Battle for the Labour Party. Under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, Labour moves further to the left. For the first time since the 1970s, socialism is back on the agenda, and in an historic first, it defines the leadership. But clashes of ideology, tactics and styles have been the story of the Labour Party for the last 70 years and traditional leadership is often thought to fail. Could things be different with Corbyn? The answer lies in examining the party’s history from 1979 to the present. This book chronicles the battles within the Labour Party, the schisms between idealogues and pragmatistists, and the fissures within the Party.

Deciding what resources and policies to put in place to protect populations from pandemics like HIV and Ebola, however, involves difficult political choices that inevitably lead to trade-offs with other major interests and commitments. Arguing against a tendency to treat global health security as a technical challenge, the book stresses the need for a vibrant, and even confrontational, political engagement around the implications of securitizing public health.

The Titanic is the vessel in which we can extrapolate lessons on hubris, folly, greed, love, class, magnificent courage and pitiable weakness. She carried thousands of people and, in that way, she still has thousands of stories to tell. Drawing on brand new and unpublished materials, journal entries and film archives from the time, ‘The Darksome Bounds of a Failing World’ focuses on the symbolism of the Titanic as the floating symbol of Anglo-American success, its clientele an apt illustration of the limitless - technological, financial - possibilities of its time.

It changed our lifestyles as urban life took over from rural. Wages brought freedom of travel and social mobility. The world of 1700 looked vastly different to that of 1800 as the foundations for the modern age were laid.

James Hamilton-Paterson turns his literary and analytical skills to the wider picture of Britain’s lost industrial and technological civilisation. Between 1939 and 1945, Britain produced around 125,000 aircraft and enormous numbers of ships, motor vehicles, armaments and textiles. We developed radar, antibiotics, the jet engine and the computer. Less than seventy years later, the major industries that had made Britain a global power industrially and militarily, and had employed millions, were dead... In this book, Hamilton-Paterson analyses the factors that turned us so quickly to one of passive consumers and financial middlemen.

The year 1947 marked the high-water mark of the British Empire in Africa, but also the very moment at which it began to unravel, ahead of the Afrikaner Nationalist victory in South Africa in 1948, which led inexorably to the Republic of South Africa in 1961 and its departure from the Commonwealth.

That law was the Obscene Publications Act and it was a crucial turning point. Algernon Swinburne, the Rossettis, Walter Pater and painter Simeon Solomon, were among the writers and artists, and countless booksellers and printers, whose lives were shadowed by this emerging network of laws against speech and love. She depicts both a fascinating story and an important way of understanding how we arrived at our ideas of ‘normalcy’ and ‘deviancy’.

That is why he is so often called ‘Charles the Great’: by the French ‘Charlemagne’, and by the Germans ‘Karl der Grosse’. His strength of character was felt to be remarkable from early in his long reign. Warfare and accident, vermin and weather have destroyed much of the evidence for his rule in the twelve centuries since his death, but a remarkable amount still survives.

Ten years on, following outbreaks of civil conflict that culminated in him losing, then regaining the crown, he had finally secured his kingdom.

A fascinating narrative history of Cold War era computer and tech research, combining social historical elements to produce a brilliant portrait of mid-20th century America.

Eventually his case was taken up by the award-winning lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, who managed to have him exonerated, though it took 15 years for this to happen. This is a triumphant story of the resilience of the human spirit.

In it, she confronts a meticulous diary that she has kept for 25 years. ‘I wanted to end each day with a record of everything that had ever happened,’ she explains. But this simple statement belied a terror that she might forget something important. Maintaining the diary had become a kind of spiritual practice. Then Manguso became pregnant and had a child, and these two events caused a monumental shift that changed her relationship to time and to mortality, and also to her diary. A beautiful, honest and shifting work that grapples with writing, motherhood and time.

In the avowed fictions of literature as well as in the unavowed fictions of politics, social science or journalism, the central question is the same: to construct the perceptible forms of a shared world. From Stendhal to Jo o Guimar es Rosa and from Marx to Sebald, via Balzac, Poe, Maupassant, Proust, Rilke, Conrad, Auerbach, Faulkner and some others, this book explores the constructions and sheds new light on the constitutive movement of modern fiction, the movement that shifted its centre of gravity from its traditional core toward those edges in which fiction gets confronted with its possible revocation.

What it is, why we feel it, and how to overcome it. For osteopath Nick Potter, the reason why traditional medicine doesn’t work is because chronic pain often has less to do with twisted muscles and more to do with far deeper-rooted anxieties. In this fascinating book, he takes us on a journey into biology, evolution and contemporary social behaviour and anthropology to examine our relationship with pain. He presents his own roadmap for wellbeing (including his acclaimed theory of breathing), along with success stories from the consulting room, and shows us how to spot the signs and break the vicious cycle of stress, pain and anxiety before damage is done.

How Birds Got Their Names. Swallow and starling, puffin and peregrine, blue tit and blackcap. We use these names so often that few of us ever pause to wonder about their origins. What do they mean? Where did they come from? And who created them? The words we use to name birds are some of the most lyrical and evocative in the English language. They also tell incredible stories: of epic expeditions, fierce battles between rival ornithologists, momentous historical events and touching romantic gestures.

The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantum. Quantum physics has been, ever since its inception, the golden child of science. It is the basis of our understanding of everything from elemental particles to the behaviour of materials. Yet is has also been a troubled child, beset by controversy and raging disagreement over which formulation best describes our world. It has helped physicists agree that atoms and radiation behave differently to rocks and cats, but often not on much else. The simple reason quantum physics is unsolvable, Lee Smolin argues, is that the theory is incomplete.

Searching for the superhuman sports star. In the 1970s the US military believed they could create a ‘super soldier’ - one who could use psychic powers to walk through walls, disarm the enemy through telepathy, or kill a goat by staring at it. The brain behind these techniques was Michael Murphy, one of the founders of ‘New Age’ spiritualism in the hippy enclaves of San Francisco. But Murphy’s primary goal was to use these powers in sport to create a supreme athlete capable of extraordinary feats. Is it really possible to enter a mind-altering state or to shift your body shape? Or is it all just bunkum? And are the American military still watching?

TOUR ACCORDING TO GTHOMAS, GERAINT9781787479050 P QUERCUS PAPERBACKS £8.99 Published 18/04/19

My Journey to the Yellow Jersey. For years Geraint Thomas appeared blessed with extraordinary talent but jinxed at the greatest bike race in the world: twice an Olympic gold medallist on the track, and Commonwealth champion, at the Tour de France he was a victim of crashes, bad luck and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his team-mates. In the summer of 2018, that curse was blown away in spectacular fashion - from the cobbles of the north and the iconic mountain climbs of the Alps to the brutal slopes of the Pyrenees and, finally, the Champs-Elysees in Paris. This is the inside story of one of the most thrilling heart-warming tales in sport.

A Philosophy of Puer Robustus. The political crises and upheavals of our age often originate from the periphery rather than the centre of power. Figures like Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning acted in ways that disrupted power, revealing hidden truths that those in power wanted to keep hidden. They are thorns in the side of power, troublemakers in the eyes of the powerful, though their actions may be valuable and lead to positive changes. Thoma shows that troublemakers are an inescapable part of modernity, for as soon as social and political boundaries are defined, there will always be figures challenging them from the margins.

Written by an acknowledged master of comedy, this study reflects on the nature of humour and the functions it serves. Why do we laugh? What are we to make of the sheer variety of laughter, from braying and cackling to sniggering and chortling? Is humour subversive, or can it defuse dissent? Can we define wit? Packed with illuminating ideas and a good many excellent jokes, the book critically examines various well-known theories of humour, including the idea that it springs from incongruity and the view that it reflects a mildly sadistic form of superiority to others.

The use of God in any moral debate is so problematic as to be almost worthless.

MOUNTAIN THAT EATS MENIZAGIRRE, ANDER9781786994554 P ZED BOOKS £10.99 Published 15/04/19

The haunting story of Cerro Rico, a centuries old mining mountain on the verge of collapse. Perched high in the Andes, the city of Potosi has spent its tempestuous history in the shadow of the Cerro Rico - a mountain so opulent that it was said to be made entirely of silver. And the mountain was given the epithet ‘the rich mountain’. But today, Potosi’s inhabitants are some of the poorest in South America, and the mountain itself has been so greedily plundered that its summit is at constant risk of collapsing. So many people have died in the mines that the Cerro Rico is now fearfully called ‘the mountain that eats men.’
