by Natasha Pulley
In 1963, in a Siberian gulag, former nuclear specialist Valery Kolkhanov has mastered what it takes to survive: the right connections to the guards for access to food and cigarettes, the right pair of warm boots to avoid frostbite, and the right attitude toward the small pleasures of life.

How to Get Ourselves and Our Planet Into Shape
Henry Dimbleby, Jemima Lewis
You may not be aware of this - not consciously, at least - but you do not control what you eat. Every mouthful you take is informed by the subtle tweaking and nudging of a vast, complex, global system: one so intimately woven into everyday life that you hardly even know it's there.

A Christmas Ghost Story
By Guy Jones
On the top floor of an old Victorian house, that should be empty, there is a light on. A low light. A candle light.
