Anywhere But Here is a powerful exposé of Britain’s broken asylum system and how it fails us all.

Each year tens of thousands of people risk their lives to cross the Channel in small boats hoping to find safety in Britain. Yet the very system designed to protect them has all but collapsed. With unique and unparalleled access, award-winning journalist and former Home Office insider Nicola Kelly takes us behind the scenes of the small boats crisis for the first time.

At its heart are the stories of war-torn arrivals, lone teenagers and trafficked women attempting to settle in cities, towns and villages across the UK. We travel to meet them, exploring where they have fled from and why, and the response of local communities to their new neighbours.

Situated on the beaches and the ports, in the hotels, the courtrooms and the detention centres where the futures of those affected unfold, Anywhere But Here is a searing investigation into one of the most urgent issues and shocking injustices of our time.

Sustainability is the defining global business challenge of our age. In a world facing profound environmental, social and economic challenges, sustainability means creating business models that are resilient, adaptable and capable of enduring over the long haul. But achieving sustainability is neither simple nor straightforward.

In their new book, Leading the Sustainable Business Transformation, IMD professors Julia Binder and Knut Haanaes bring together renowned IMD thought leaders to offer action-orientated, practical support to business leaders ready to move beyond understanding why sustainability is essential to tackling the critical question of how to achieve it.

Knut Haanaes was the driving force behind the creation of the Business Schools for Climate Leadership alliance, a senior partner in BCG, and Dean of the Global Leadership Institute at the World Economic Forum.

When Helen Jukes falls pregnant, she does what anyone else would do. She searches for information to help make sense of the changes underway inside her. But as the months pass and her body becomes increasingly strange, the pregnancy guides seem insufficient; even the advice of her friends feels oppressive.

So she widens her frame of reference, looking beyond humans to ask what motherhood looks like in other species. Here she begins a process of wilder enquiry, in which stories of spiders, polar bears, bonobos and burying beetles (among others) begin to unsettle and expand her notion of what mothering is; what it could be.

As she enters the sleeplessness, chaos and intimate discoveries of life with a newborn, these animal stories become Helen’s companions and guides. They allow her to explore where her own animality begins and ends and how the polluted stuff of human industry has come to influence life, even from its very beginnings.

A passionate, visceral and intimate account of a body changed, Mother Animal combines personal memoir with fresh insights from evolutionary biology, zoology and toxicology to ask the big questions that lie at the heart of what it means to be alive – and a mother – today.

Research suggests that up to 50% of people are introverts, and yet so much conventional leadership wisdom focuses on developing people’s ‘extrovert’ qualities in order to succeed at work.

But what if introversion isn’t something to “fix”, and being quiet could actually make you a better leader?

In a world where extroverted leaders often dominate the conversation, new book Quiet Leader offers a refreshing perspective. It empowers introverted individuals to embrace their unique leadership strengths such as humility, good listening, being reflective and staying calm.

Quiet Leader helps introverts in business understand the value they add and how to overcome the extrovert bias they might encounter. Rather than trying to change personalities, Quiet Leader helps introverts use their natural strengths to bring out the best in colleagues and team members and give everyone - extroverts included - a better understanding of how to become better leaders themselves.

Author Sissel Heiberg, a quiet leader herself, with close to 20 years of experience in large corporations, has witnessed that the loudest voices often dominate discussions and self-promote which can lead to misguided decisions and the selection of unsuitable leaders. This has fuelled her passion to raise awareness about organisational dynamics, the bias against introverts and to help organisations better utilise the right skills at the right time to enhance overall team performance.

Building on research and interviews, each chapter focuses on an introvert strength, explaining why it is a valuable leadership trait and includes a toolkit with tangible examples, strategies and ideas for using this strength in the workplace. Written for both introverts and extroverts, this book helps readers develop, build and use these skills at work.

Quiet Leader is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their leadership effectiveness while staying true to their authentic selves. Whether an experienced leader or just starting out, this book provides valuable insights and motivation to help readers succeed in leadership.

How can we create working environments where people can not only thrive, but also recover well, so they can sustainably continue to thrive again and again?

The key, says professor and former Olympic finalist Dr Susan Goldsworthy, is creating “secure bases” that provide a safe environment where each individual feels free to take risks without fear of failure or judgement. This trust-based foundation encourages exploration of potential and development of self-awareness, which helps individuals navigate obstacles more effectively, handle external pressures and foster a culture of confidence and innovation.

In her new book Care, Dare, Share: The Secure Base Coach, Rev. Dr Susan Goldsworthy draws up her experience of elite sport, neuroscience and 20 years working with businesses to create an accessible hands-on guide for leaders. It equips leaders with practical tools and strategies to cultivate sustainable, high-performance cultures where people feel supported by fostering conscious choice, constructive challenge and courageous communication.

Care, Dare, Share emphasises the importance of human connection as a critical driver for success. It champions empathy, understanding, and genuine collaboration, strengthening relationships in teams and organisations. These connections, built on mutual trust and shared purpose, enable teams to unlock their highest potential and work together more effectively, even in the face of adversity.

Care, Dare, Share offers a variety of exercises and reflective questions that helps coaches and leaders to apply secure base principles. It serves as a springboard for personal and professional growth, allowing leaders, coaches and HR teams to tailor the tools to meet the specific needs of their organisations.

Most culture change programs change nothing. This book changes everything.

Most attempts at culture change fail because they don’t get under the hood of what’s really going on. As a result growth is slowed, or performance continues to fall off a cliff, or the toxic culture continues to make headlines.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and it’s easier than you might think to make real change right now. Andrew Saffron shows you exactly what to do - and how to do it - to get to the heart of your organization’s culture and change it for the better, fast.

Perimenopause is not a hormone deficiency, it’s the time before your last period, a normal life stage and transition to a more liberating time of life. Perimenopause need not be a crisis, but lots of people talk up a fearful narrative that creates stress and confusion, which can make symptoms worse.

Kate Codrington has been a menopause mentor and a therapist for 30 years and now, in her new book The Perimenopause Journal, she guides readers through the ‘inner seasons’ of perimenopause, so they can better track, understand and manage the symptoms of the natural ebb and flow of this transition. Most importantly, she provides readers with the advice they need to care for themselves, so that this change can become a source of excitement and joy.

The second half of the beautifully illustrated hardback is a 52-page, undated journal for readers to track their own symptoms based around the seasons and the lunar year. As a safe space away from the misogyny and fear that surrounds perimenopause, the journal will help readers chart their course to a smooth and fulfilling postmenopause, known as a “second spring”.

This book is a unique take on navigating the perimenopause – it's for people who don't want to be patronised and find that other books on the topic just don't speak their language. For those who go to yoga but cringe at the chanting; get the giggles in a gong bath or close out their mindfulness class with a glass of prosecco. They are sharp, they’ve busted glass ceilings, they’ve burned out and (hopefully) recovered and are now longing to learn how to live their lives sustainably and stylishly.

The Edge of Sentience is published by Oxford University Press and tackles the urgent ethical dilemmas brought on by our evolving understanding of the beings sitting on the edge of sentience — with Birch offering a compelling message that when in doubt, err on the side of caution. Whether dealing with AI, lab-grown brains, or animals, we should act as though sentience matters—because one day, they might thank us for it!

Written by Jonathan Birch, Professor of Philosophy at the LSE – whose work led to octopuses, crabs and lobsters being recognized as sentient beings under UK law.

Rewriting Your Leadership Code encourages us to look behind the mirror at how our childhood experiences secretly influence the way we make decisions, behave, and feel about ourselves at work, and crucially shows how we can channel their impact to our advantage.

The 9-5 routine has become more complicated for business leaders, with 74% saying that the number of decisions they make every day has risen over the past five years. Leaders are having to rely on their instincts to cope with the increased pressure and workload. But by running on automatic, we risk bringing unreliable traits and subconscious biases to the surface.

Written by leadership expert Nik Kinley and organisational psychologist Shlomo Ben-Hur, this new book draws upon decades of research and proven neurological and psychological mechanisms to show how our past experiences shape our adult tendencies and why early experiences of stress, conflict and friendship can create blind spots for our leadership patterns.

From how we act in meetings and manage conflict to whether we respect our boss and can handle change, our childhood plays a pivotal part in how we lead our teams and organisations when under pressure. By understanding these triggers and traits, managers can be more aware of when they’re running on automatic and ensure their actions are intentional, relevant, and effective.
