‘Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Europe of today and tomorrow’ PETER FRANKOPAN

Long before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, conflict was simmering on Europe’s borders. In overlooked territories in eastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus – from the Balkans and Cyprus to Abkhazia on the fringes of Georgia –local disputes spiral into regional crises, global alliances are forged and broken, and power is brokered while the West looks elsewhere.

In #Hinterlands, acclaimed correspondent Hannah Lucinda Smith draws on vivid first-hand encounters with politicians, spies and ordinary people caught in the crosshairs to paint a gripping portrait of Europe at its edges – and the struggles that will define its future.

Hinterlands is out now.

#HumanResources by Renay Richardson and Arisa Loomba is out in paperback!

Ordinary items take on new meanings when you cast them in different light. The origins of tea, coffee and sugar are well known, but when you discover that gym treadmills were pioneered on plantations or that denim jeans were once clothing for enslaved people, you can’t help but ask where else the legacy of slavery hides in plain sight.

Through the stories of thirty-nine everyday places and objects, Renay Richardson and Arisa Loomba unpick the threads of the history that we never learned in school, revealing the truth of how Britain’s present is bound to a darker past.

When we see an equals sign, we usually see something clear cut: problem on one side, solution on the other. We might need to shuffle some things around - balance the equation - to get there, but it’s all pretty clear cut...isn’t it?

As it turns out, between those parallel lines lies something far more exciting than questions and answers. An equals sign is an invitation to a mathematical playground of choice and abstraction. By opening your mind to different mathematical choices and perspectives, you can unlock far greater insight than you could have dreamed.

Eugenia Cheng explores the rich and rewarding interplay between sameness and difference, and offers us a new way to see the world based on the choices and interpretations we make. A glorious celebration of mathematics, #Unequal will change the way you think - in maths, and in life.

#Unequal is out in paperback this Thursday!

Today we publish #TehranDiaries by Raha Nik-Andish, the pen name for a writer, translator and art historian who lives in Tehran.

Over Iran, the sky is falling in. The US-Israeli bombardment has begun: there are bodies beneath the rubble. The Ayatollah is dead. The guards have abandoned the prisons. The rain is black with fuel; it burns the skin and the streets.

Through vivid dispatches of life in the city over the past year, Tehran Diaries asks, what does it mean to exist under siege? Or repression, blackout and total fear? How do you get the message out?

Piercing, poignant and delicately observed, this is the vital story of a city at the end of the world and a regime in freefall – an act of witness against darkness.
