NEW NON-FICTION TITLE FROM PENGUIN MICHAEL JOSEPH TO BE ANNOUNCED...

Port Talbot, 1958. A town of smoke and steel, sea air and shift work, terraced streets and quiet watchfulness. It is the kind of place where people do not simply live alongside one another, they notice one another. They notice who is tired, who is drinking more than usual, who has started keeping strange hours, and who is carrying the kind of tension that does not belong to ordinary life. In a town like this, privacy is never absolute. The streets are close, the routines are known, and the town itself behaves like a witness—silent, patient, and rarely fooled for long.

Hallucinated citations that survived review. Confidentiality breaches that didn't surface until the bar complaint. Malpractice exposure building invisibly, one unexamined AI output at a time. These aren't hypothetical. They're already happening to lawyers who adopted AI without a framework. And the lawyers who made those mistakes weren't careless—they were experienced, diligent, and trying to keep up.

Attorneys need high-performing teams that can work well under pressure. But in many organizations, especially large firms, attorneys are often left on their own to figure out how to build their teams, resulting in inconsistent and haphazard management that makes even the best performers feel like cogs in a machine. Many senior leaders view this as inevitable, writing off high attrition as a cost of doing business.

In 1987, E. L. Doctorow celebrated the Constitution's bicentennial by reading it. "It is five thousand words long but reads like fifty thousand," he said. Distinguished legal scholar Garrett Epps disagrees. It's about 7,500 words. In American Epic, Epps takes us through a complete reading of the Constitution to achieve an appreciation of its power and a holistic understanding of what it says. In this book he seeks not to provide a definitive interpretation, but to listen to the language and ponder its meaning.

Told through the eyes of Chance James, F-4 is not just a story about doing time—it's about what time does to a man.

The Great Train Robbery of 1963 is one of those rare events that never truly leaves the public imagination. It wasn’t only the money, though the amount was staggering.

It was the way the crime unfolded like a scene from a film, in the quiet countryside, under the cover of darkness, with a nation waking up to the fact that something extraordinary had happened to something they assumed was untouchable.
