The Sex Playbook Men Were Never Given--From a Coach Who's Helped Millions
Every man wants to feel confident in bed--hard when he wants to be, in control of when he finishes, and deeply connected with his partner. But the truth about sex is that men are handed the pressure without the playbook: They're expected to perform, but most of them were never shown how.

That's where sex coach Caitlin V comes in. In this no-BS guide, she delivers what most advice for men leaves out: the real reasons behind sexual struggles and the tools to fix them for good. Combining proven science with hard-won experience, Caitlin shows how the right mindset and her simple, practical methods can unlock lasting sexual confidence, stronger performance, and deeper intimacy.

• Identify the hidden roots of performance anxiety (and what to do about them)
• Last longer and stay hard without pills or sprays
• Reduce pressure so your body responds the way you want
• Rebuild trust, intimacy, and connection with your partner
• Create a sex life that stays exciting for the long haul

This isn't about gimmicks or hacks. It's about finally understanding how your body and mind actually work. Now is the time to stop guessing and take charge of your sex life--starting tonight.

The world's leading Marxist geographer and economist guides general readers through major concepts in capitalism and Marx's masterwork

For decades, David Harvey has been teaching Marx's work, particularly Capital, to great acclaim. He has analysed chapter by chapter - sometimes line-by-line - Marx's three volumes and the Grundrisse. This new book opens up the mental universe of that work for a general reader.

In The Story of Capital, Harvey takes a synoptic approach to the conceptual architecture as a whole and guides us through the key moments, from labour and technology to the state and geopolitics, via the profit rate, social reproduction, the relationship to nature, fictitious capital and the return of the rentiers. In doing so, Harvey has produced a work which will become a key reference for all those trying to grasp the nature of contemporary capitalism.

The problem started, as problems often do, with a penguin.

From Kings and Emperors to Macaronis and Rockhoppers, penguins are one of the most immediately recognisable animals on Earth. Yet for all that familiarity, what do we really know about them? An Inconvenience of Penguins follows award-winning travel writer Jamie Lafferty as he visits all eighteen species in a bid to understand the birds and their extraordinarily varied habitats a little better. On voyages to some of the planet's most inaccessible and challenging landscapes, he recounts the history of our unique relationship with the world's most popular bird, telling not only the stories of the penguins, but also the people and places around them.

From getting stranded in the Galapagos and marching through African guano fields to leading photography groups in the Antarctic and taking psychedelics on the Falklands, this is a birding quest like no other. Along the way, Lafferty relives the experiences of early polar explorers, for whom penguins were perplexing mysteries, welcome companions and even occasional meals, and meets the modern penguin lovers trying to save their fragile environments.

Featuring cameos from a wide cast of characters including Ernest Shackleton, Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Drake, as well as beautiful photographs of each penguin species, An Inconvenience of Penguins is part love-letter to and part biography of these remarkable creatures.

"This picture book is a gem!" --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

With the help of a rock he's collected, a child moving to a new house learns to embrace change and make a like-minded friend in this story celebrating our most thoughtful little observers.

Jayden notices everything. He notices the way the moon looks different every night as it peeks through the oak tree. He notices spiderweb wheels and egg freckles, mouse paws and rose petals. But most of all, Jayden notices rocks. Jayden collects a rock to go with everything: a homework rock, a Saturday rock, even enough wishing rocks to fill up a jar. But now that he and his family have moved to a different house, where the trees are too short, the color is off, and the mailbox is in the wrong place, will he find a rock to grant him courage--and help him make a new friend, maybe even a noticer like him? In a tender story for curious and observant little readers, Carolyn Crimi's text joins with Shamar Knight-Justice's expressive illustrations in a tale that offers comfort in the face of life's many changes.
