					<description><![CDATA[The life-affirming memoir of Lindsey Burrow, the working mother of three young children who has inspired the nation through her selfless commitment to husband Rob Burrow (CBE), the rugby league legend she cared for throughout his heroic battle with motor neurone disease (MND).]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The life-affirming, No.1 bestselling memoir of Lindsey Burrow, the working mother of three young children who has inspired the nation through her selfless commitment to husband Rob Burrow (CBE), the rugby league legend she cared for throughout his heroic battle with motor neurone disease (MND). </b></p>
<p><b>A Pride of Britain Award Winner</b></p>
<p><i>Take Care: A Memoir of Love, Family &#038; Never Giving Up </i>explores the deepest reserves of resilience, personal sacrifice and hope that Lindsey Burrow exhibited on a daily basis when her family&#8217;s life was upended by the terminal MND diagnosis. Juggling her day job for the NHS as a physiotherapist, with round-the-clock care for Rob, who couldn&#8217;t move or talk, and could only eat with Lindsey&#8217;s assistance, she simultaneously raised her brilliant young family and helped to raise awareness for MND. The efforts of Rob, Lindsey and Kevin Sinfield have raised over  £15 million for charity.</p>
<p>In 2024, Lindsey presented her debut ITV1 documentary, &#8216;Who Cares for Our Carers?&#8217; which highlighted the emotional and practical hardships faced by thousands of her fellow unpaid carers, whose hidden work is worth an estimated  £162bn a year in the UK, the equivalent of another NHS. Told in Lindsey&#8217;s characteristically humble, charming and inspirational style, <i>Take Care</i> explores her life and shares her honest experiences of finding strength in the good and the bad times, in order to offer readers and families hope to overcome challenges in their own lives. The book sheds a light on the many families across the UK who care for their loved ones with little support. Finally, the book is a rousing call to action, for us all as a society to take better care of one another.</p>

					<description><![CDATA['Source Code' describes with unprecedented candour Bill Gates' life from his childhood in Seattle to dropping out of Harvard aged 20 in 1975. Shortly afterwards he wrote, with Paul Allen, the programme which became the foundation of Microsoft and eventually for the entire software industry, changing the way the world works and lives. Gates writes about the centrality of family to his life - his encouraging grandmother and ambitious parents, about struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, and the impact on him of the death of his closest friend. We see his extraordinary mind developing as a teenager, his excitement about the rapidly emerging technology of computing, and the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen. 'Source Code' is a warm, wise and revealing self-portrait of one of the most influential people of our age.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Bill Gates is one of the most transformative figures of our age. In <i>Source Code</i> he takes us back to his beginnings.<br /></b><br />He describes with candour his childhood in Seattle, the centrality of family &#8211; his close relationship with his card-playing grandmother and his demanding but caring parents &#8211; his struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, his first deep friendships and the impact of losing his closest friend.</p>
<p>We see Gates&#8217;s extraordinary mind developing, the restless teenager who discovered a love of coding and computing at the dawn of a new era and felt that &#8216;by applying my brain, I could solve even the world&#8217;s most complex mysteries&#8217;. We see the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen, which led him to drop out of Harvard at the age of 20 to devote all his energies to Microsoft, the company he started with his childhood friend Paul Allen. He writes about his first involvement with three Steves &#8211; Jobs, Wozniak and Ballmer &#8211; who would play a crucial role in so much that followed.</p>
<p>The book ends in the late 1970s when Microsoft, still with only a dozen employees, signed its first deal with Apple. The deals would go on and Microsoft would grow unimaginably. Yet Gates never forgot his mother&#8217;s reminder that he was merely a steward of any wealth that he gained. This warm and inspiring book, Bill Gates&#8217; origin story, allows readers to understand his energy and ambition &#8211; and to see how he sets himself in the world.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>A powerful, candid, and richly detailed memoir from an American icon, revealing what life looks like after the presidency: triumphs, tribulations, and all.</b></p>
<p>On 20th January 2001, after nearly thirty years in politics &#8211; eight of them as President of the United States &#8211; Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only fifty-four years old, full of energy and ideas, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he&#8217;d learned in a lifetime of politics, but how? Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running. Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work, from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world.</p>
<p><i>Citizen </i>is Clinton&#8217;s front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century, including 9/11 and the runup to the Iraq War, the Haiti earthquake, the Great Recession, COVID-19, the January 6th insurrection, and the enduring culture wars of our times. Yet <i>Citizen</i> is more than a presidential memoir. These pages capture Clinton in a rare and unforgettable light: not only as celebrated former president and foundation leader, but also as a father, grandfather, and husband. He shares his support for Hillary Clinton during her tenure as senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate, and openly details the frustration and pain of the 2016 election.</p>
<p>With clarity and compassion, President Clinton also weighs in on the unprecedented challenges brought on by a global pandemic, ongoing inequality, a steadily warming planet, and authoritarian forces dedicated to weakening democracy. In this landmark publication, the highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling <i>My Life,</i> Clinton pens a clear-sighted account of American democracy on a global stage, offering a frank reflection on the past and, with it, a fearless embrace of our future. <i>Citizen</i> is a testament to one man&#8217;s unwavering commitment to family and nation, a self-portrait of equal parts eloquence, insight, and candor.</p>

<p><b>From the </b><i><b>Sunday Times</b></i><b> bestselling author and Royal correspondent, Robert Jobson &#8211; with his extensive connections within the royal household &#8211; this revelatory new biography tells the full story of how Catherine, the Princess of Wales, became the woman she is today.</b></p>
<p>Kate Middleton&#8217;s life&#8217;s story seems like a modern-day fairy-tale.</p>
<p>An attractive, clever, and ambitious girl from unexceptional beginnings meets and falls in love with a wealthy prince destined to be King when they are both university undergraduates. Now, with the British monarchy in transition, Catherine is Princess of Wales and is set to become Queen.</p>
<p>Since her wedding on 29 April 2011, Catherine has endeared herself to the people of the UK, the Commonwealth and worldwide on her extensive travels, with her infectious smile, sense of style and down-to-earth nature. Her self-deprecation, willingness to laugh at herself, solid work-ethic &#8211; along with her husband, William, warmth, and accessibility &#8211; this royal family&#8217;s dynamic duo have become the most popular members of the Royal Family. But it&#8217;s not come without its fair share of commentary and scandal, particularly with recent revelations on the relationship of the &#8216;Fab Four&#8217; with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as her own health scares.</p>
<p>As interest in the royals continues to gain legions of new, younger fans, there is increasing interest in their histories and back stories of the principal players in this story. This book aims to discover, through talking to close sources both on and off the record within the royal household, what has made Catherine the woman she is today.</p>

<p>We might like to think of the Gates Foundation as an innocent charity giving away money, collaborating with stakeholders, and listening to the desires of the populations it hopes to help, but is that how it works in practice?</p>

<p>Sinfield&#8217;s epic challenges have included running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, and running over 101 miles in 24 hours. In the process, Sinfield has captured the hearts of the nation and over  £7 million for MND. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen&#8217;s Birthday honours for his efforts, along with the Freedom of Leeds and a special BBC Award for his fundraising.</p>
<p>Told with Sinfield&#8217;s characteristic warmth, dry wit and inspirational leadership, <i>The Extra Mile</i> is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, and of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds. The book equips readers with the tools and the mindset to embrace togetherness and to overcome their own challenges. It leaves the reader with the urgent question: Who would you go the extra mile for to help in life?</p>
