She’s In CTRL

'A practical and positive guide to using tech to change women's lives for the better' -

Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women: exposing data bias in a world designed for men

'A powerful and inspiring call to action from one of Britain's brightest minds'- Yomi Adegoke, award-winning journalist, author of Slay in Your Lane etc.

Why are women so under-represented in the tech world?

Why does this matter?

What can we do about it?

A book that asks essential questions and provides long-overdue practical solutions. Perfect for readers of Invisible Women.

Why do so many of us - particularly women - feel the tech world is beyond reach? Women are woefully under-represented in tech - they represent roughly a mere quarter of the UK STEM workforce. This means an ever-increasing series of big decisions are made by a small number of people, mainly men.

So what are the challenges for all of us who want to wrest back control? How do we get past the gatekeepers? When we do, what are the opportunities that will open up - for us in our individual roles, and for the future of tech?.

Dr Imafidon shows we have more agency than we think, drawing on her own experience and the stories of other pioneers and innovators to provide examples, exercises and practical guidance for how to get started and take control.

There will always be problems. But, as we know, women are problem-solvers.

—— Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women: exposing data bias in a world designed for men

Anne-Marie is one of the UK's brilliant minds and has been at the forefront of tackling the STEM gender gap by demystifying the subject and making it accessible and fun for all, regardless of gender or background. Her's is a voice to be listened to.

—— June Sarpong, author of The Power of Women: why gender equality works for everyone

One to Watch: an impassioned but also admirably practical manifesto on why women are underrepresented in tech, why it matters, and what we can do about it.

—— Caroline Sanderson , The Bookseller

I absolutely loved it! Engrossing and relatable.

—— Charlene Hunter MBE, CEO & Founder Coding Black Females

A warm-hearted and deeply personal biography of ewes, rams and lambs... His affection for his flock shines through these shepherding tales.

—— The Countryman

In this provocative, utterly original work, Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Google China and bestselling author of AI Superpowers, teams up with celebrated novelist Chen Qiufan to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten gripping short stories

—— Tor.com

AI 2041 builds a multilayered view of a future where artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies become embedded in our lives, for good or ill...Well-crafted . . . This book serves as an imaginative invitation to consider the potential for harm that may arise from [AI] projects, however unintended

—— Science

A magical book of wonderful stories about how farmers think and the challenges they face. It demonstrates that farmers across the country are passionate about producing food and caring for the land. A triumph

—— Jake Fiennes, author of Land Healer

Rooted is a brave thing: a book that prods into the ever-widening gulf between the binaries we increasingly use to examine the world. As conversations about what we eat and where it comes from reach fever-pitch, Sarah Langford's clear-eyed, inquisitive and passionate plea for farmers and farming offers a vital understanding when it has never been so needed. I hope everyone reads it.

—— Alice Vincent, author of Rootbound

An eloquent and personal insight into the terrible human as well as environmental cost of cheap food and an inspiring account of the people working to heal our relationship with our habitat and ourselves. Urgent, necessary and moving.

—— Ben Rawlence, author of The Treeline

A fine book: heartfelt, honest and hopeful. Sarah has the knowledge and skill to help people better understand where their food comes from and why we should all care.

—— Helen Rebanks

Moving, intimate, tender and searing, this is a gem of a book with deep roots and fresh green shoots.

—— Tamsin Calidas, author of I Am An Island

A timely and optimistic book, ostensibly about why we need farming to produce food, but more deeply about how farming is done, or could be done. Refreshingly authentic, Rooted gives us a hopeful sense of a regenerative future

—— Juliet Blaxland, author of The Easternmost House and The Easternmost Sky

Evocative and resonant. These are stories that need to be told.

—— Andy Cato, Groove Armada and Wildfarmed

Poetically written and filled with compelling data about modern-day farming

—— Vogue

Where Rooted ploughs its own shining furrow in its humanity ... but also the gathered, inspirational stories of farmers trying to do better and greener.

—— John Lewis-Stempel

[Silent Earth] should be obligatory reading for politicians and those in power... compelling... [Goulson] draws up his case in a very readable and accessible style... an essential and timely book.

—— John Green , Morning Star

After another frame-wrecking year I can think of no better book to recommend than Dave Goulson's Silent Earth

—— Times Literary Supplement, *Books of the Year*

Goulson's book deserves to be widely read. It is fact-filled and well balanced in the minefield of environmental politics.

—— International Journal of Environmental Studies

Challenging, but also funny and refreshingly low in sanctimony, this book is no frothing polemic. It will doubtless alter many readers' understanding of the systems we all participate in and lead them to make different choices. For others, it should prompt the difficult moral reasoning that those of us who love animals but also profit from their suffering cravenly manage to avoid... Mance is an amiable guide: curious and open-minded.

—— Melissa Harrison , Financial Times

Mance...is spot on to make us confront the horrible truth... [How to Love Animals] will force its readers to stop and think about the incomprehensible scale of unnecessary suffering we impose on our fellow creatures.

—— Julian Baggini , Literary Review
