On Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, scientists believe that rainbows exist. Made from a rain of methane, their light is in the infrared, which is only detectable to us using thermal cameras. Millions of miles away, on another familiar planet, the ultraviolet aurorae gives Mars an ethereal sky glow. And much further out, X-rays have enabled us to locate supermassive black holes in distant galaxies.
From radio waves to gamma rays, Invisible Rainbows: Exploring the Unseen Universe Beyond Our Senses examines how accessing light beyond the visible is transforming our understanding of the Universe. Human ingenuity combined with cutting-edge technology is leading to groundbreaking discoveries. Astronomers are using all the light that exists to discover new celestial objects, uncover phenomena originally believed impossible, and upend what we thought we knew about the cosmos.
Featuring interviews with a diverse selection of astronomers and researchers from all around the world, astrophysicist and science journalist Dr Alfredo Carpineti elevates the voices of the people making these incredible breakthroughs. Combining their insights with his own expertise, he describes how our increased ability to see the whole electromagnetic spectrum is allowing us to unlock long-standing mysteries in the invisible Universe.

Invisible Rainbows: Exploring the Unseen Universe Beyond Our Senses

Tales Accursed is the second collection of classic supernatural stories selected by the artist Richard Wells. Each of the eighteen tales is accompanied by one of Richard’s striking lino-print illustrations. 
Richard’s previous anthology, Damnable Tales, has been acknowledged as a classic both in the UK and the US. Tales Accursedexplores similar territory: great stories by acknowledged masters of the genre like M. R. James, Shirley Jackson and Algernon Blackwood, alongside eerie tales by those less associated with the horror genre, like John Buchan, E. F. Benson and William Croft Dickinson.
What is it about these stories of the uncanny, many of them written over a century ago, that make them so appealing to contemporary readers? In his Introduction to Damnable Tales, the novelist Benjamin Myers offers a clue: ‘They take place in worlds we recognise as once-removed from our realities. These are the settings of our ancestors, and therefore are still carried somewhere deep within us now: remote villages and darkened lanes, lonely woodlands, obscure country houses and crumbling cemeteries. Places where the crepuscular light is eternally fading and in which the inanimate or the dormant is slowly stirring.’ Prepare, if you dare, to encounter a new collection, full of the old fears.

Jim Moir (the artist formerly known as Vic Reeves) delivers another volume of his exquisite paintings of British birds.
In 2019, Unbound published Birds, a small but perfectly formed volume of Jim's fast-growing collection of bird paintings. Compact enough to slip inside the pocket of a cagoule, it quickly became a bestseller and continues to delight everyone who enjoys looking at and learning about our beaked and feathered fellow travellers.

A contemporary collection of essays that expose the harm which the white feminist movement has inflicted, and continues to inflict, upon Muslim women worldwide.
White liberal feminism has long treated Muslim women as both invisible – by actively excluding them from women’s liberation movements, and hypervisible – with the near-obsession of liberating or ‘saving’ them. Both of these harm Muslim women.
Although more people are waking up to the problematic nature of white feminism, it very rarely stretches to the conversations around just how closely intertwined white feminism and Islamophobia are.
In her debut book, Shahed Ezaydi presents an insightful analysis of the various myths that white feminism holds regarding Muslim women, including single-issue oppression, liberation politics, the inherent misogyny of Muslim men, and much more. Along her journey, Shahed discovers many Muslim women who are rejecting the notion of a white Western feminism, and instead are fighting for their liberation in their own way.

The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women

The printed version of the surprisingly successful Twitter/X account. This book celebrates everything that was great about the 80s and 90s, well one thing that was great, ok, that some people thought was great.
Bringing together the very best of nearly two years of TV listings such as 'FILM: RAMBO NUMBER 5; Stallone takes on 90s pop act Lou Bega' and 'ONE-NIL: Prequel to The Equalizer' or 'DICK AND DOM IN DA CARE HOME: Last in the series', it’s a book absolutely guaranteed (legal, check we can say that) to make anyone (again, check please) laugh out loud whether they’re enjoying it alone at home with a Twix, alongside a busload of fellow convicts, or sitting bored, listening to confessions from churchgoers.
Plus, like the third Star Trek reboot film that isn’t that well known so is probably a bad reference to use, the book will go beyond just listings to include many other features, that definitely haven’t been requested by the publishers to help flesh out the page count and make it more visually appealing to justify the suggested retail price (their words).
So, enjoy the genius (our words) of CEEFAUX without the need for a computer, smartphone, and internet connection with this entirely analogue version of a thing that is digital that parodies a thing that was analogue in the first place. Oh, also it will make you a better, kinder lover (one more legal check please).

Modernism Beyond Metro-Land continues the work of Joshua Abbott’s first book, A Guide to Modernism in Metro-Land, in mapping and documenting the art deco, modernist and brutalist buildings of London’s suburbs. Taking in the eastern and southern boroughs, the guide will feature art deco cinemas, modernist tube stations, brutalist office blocks, stunning post war houses and much more. It will include the work of renowned architects and designers such as Charles Holden, Richard Rogers, Wells Coates and Owen Luder, as well as more contemporary designers such as Peter Barber.
The guide will cover 12 London boroughs from Waltham Forest in the north east to Kingston upon Thames in the south west as well as a portion of Surrey. Each section will feature a map, descriptions of each building and colour photographs. It will also feature extended sections on areas of interest like Croydon town centre, the Central Line stations of Charles Holden and the self built houses of Walter Segal. As well as exploring the architectural history of the suburbs, the book will examine how this area has changed from the start of the 20th century, when much of it was part of the neighbouring counties, Essex, Kent and Surrey. The expansion of the capital's road, tube and rail network allowed people to commute to London from further away, creating new housing estates and kickstarting the growth of suburbia. New architectural styles from Europe and America like Art Deco and Modernism were imported to sit alongside more traditional building forms. Modernism Beyond Metro-Land will give centre stage to suburbia's most radical architecture of the last 100 years.

Yeseni and the Daughter of Peace

Northern Boy

History's repetitions signal the rekindling of revolutionary spirit.
Paris, 1940. The course of Fatiha Bin-Khalid’s life is changed forever when she befriends the Muslim feminist Doria Shafik. But after returning to Egypt and dedicating years to the fight for women’s rights, she struggles to reconcile her political ideals with the realities of motherhood. 
Cairo, 1966. After being publicly shamed when her relationship with a bisexual boyfriend is revealed, Fatiha’s daughter is faced with an impossible decision. Should Yasminah accept a life she didn’t choose, or will she leave her home and country in pursuit of independence? 
Bristol, 2011. British-born Nadia is battling with an identity crisis and a severe case of herpes. Feeling unfulfilled (and after a particularly disastrous one-night stand), she moves in with her old-fashioned Aunt Yasminah and realises that she must discover her purpose in the modern world before it’s too late.
Following the lives of three women from the Bin-Khalid family, Daughters of the Nile is a bold debut novel that examines the enduring strength of female bonds. These women are no strangers to adversity, but they must learn from the past and relearn shame and shamelessness to radically change their futures.
