Reader offer - save 25%

It's cold outside, money is tight...and if you're staying in more, then getting cosy on the sofa with a major global issue could be a good way to spend that extra 'me time'?

With grown-up writing and joined-up thinking in a soundbite soaked world, Pocket Issue shines an incisive and independent light on the big challenges of the day: Global Warming and the Energy Crisis, the Middle East Conflict and Al Qaeda, Drink and Drugs and the Credit Crunch? The perfect way to enrich your mind while you wait for the economy to recover.

And with our crunch offer you'll get 25% off any title ordered this month, plus free delivery (UK only), when you buy two or more titles. Enter the promotion code CRUNCH09 when you buy. Be quick though, offer ends 28th February.

Does the President listen?
We'd love to say Obama is a fan but we just can't be sure. If you're as busy as the new President and would like to be briefed whilst on the move, then Pocket Issue audio editions can help you to expand your knowledge quickly. Listen to a free sample here.

Can't deal with downloading, synchronising and all that jazz? Then new Audio Players from Playaway are the answer, and a step up from the old audio book CDs. Available online and from most book shops, airports and other travel hubs, simply plug in the free headphones and play - easy.

And if you like to listen in Spanish our new audio partners in Mexico, Librofonix are offering Spanish audio editions later this year. Arriba, arriba!
