Solidarity and prosperity fostered by
economic integration: this principle
has underpinned the European project
from the start, and the euro was
supposed to be its greatest
achievement. But since 2008, the
European Union has ricocheted
between stagnation and crisis. The
question is: Can the euro be saved?
This important book, by Nobel Prizewinning economist Joseph Sitglitz,
addresses the euro-crisis on a bigger
intellectual scale than any predecessor.
PB $32.99
In this essay collection, Singer applies
his ways of thinking to issues like
climate change, extreme poverty,
abortion, euthanasia, human genetic
selection, and increasing happiness.
Singer also includes some personal
reflections, like his thoughts on
surfing, and an unusual suggestion for
starting a family conversation over a
meal. Provocative and original, these
essays will challenge your beliefs
about a wide range of real-world
ethical questions.

Shakespeare, and W. G. Sebald to
Instagram, Barack Obama, and Boko
Haram.

Some of our strongest, most lasting
relationships are hidden in plain
view—those we have with objects.
What do our possessions do for us?
And how do they do it? In The Promise
of Things, Ruth Quibell explores what
our possessions say about us—who
we think we are, what we long for and
struggle against. It invites us to think
about how we use things, what makes
them precious, and why we find it so
hard to throw these objects away.

Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky
met in war-torn 1960s Israel. Both
were gifted young psychology
professors. In this breathtaking new
book, Michael Lewis tells the
extraordinary story of a relationship
that became a shared mind: one
which created the field of behavioural
economics, revolutionising everything
from Big Data to medicine, from how
we are governed to how we spend,
from high finance to football.
