Cult Classic
Sloane Crosley
Love, luck and hipster cults converge in this high-concept and hugely entertaining New York City rom-com,
from the bestselling essayist and novelist Sloane Crosley
Description
'The witty, improbably propulsive rom-com you didn't know you were waiting for' ELIF BATUMAN
'Razor sharp and very funny on the cult of modern dating' PANDORA SYKES
'So good. I couldn't stop reading it' NICK HORNBY
'Cult Classic makes an uproarious time of romantic carnage' RAVEN LEILANI
'A witty and fantastical story of dating and experimental psychology in New York City'
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
One night in New York City's Chinatown, Lola is at a dinner with former colleagues when she excuses herself to buy a
pack of cigarettes. On her way back, she runs into a former boyfriend. The next night, she runs into another ex. And then -
another. The city has become awash with ghosts of heartbreaks past.
What might have passed for coincidence becomes something far stranger when the recently engaged Lola must contend
not only with the viability of her current relationship, but the fact that her best friend and her former boss a magazine editor
turned mystical guru might have an unhealthy investment in its outcome. As memories of the past swirl and converge,
Lola is forced to decide if she will surrender herself to the conspirings of one very contemporary cult.
A smart, sharp and hugely entertaining tale of luck and love, Cult Classic asks: is it possible to have a happy ending in an
age when the past is ever at your fingertips and sanity is for sale?

'The very definition of a compulsive page-turner' CHRIS WHITAKER
I didn't kill her. Trust me -
When Amy Blahn died on a London rooftop, Layla Mahoney was there. Layla was holding her. But all she can say when
she's arrested is that 'It was Michael. Find Michael and you'll find out everything you need to know.'
The problem is, the police can't find him they aren't even sure he exists.
Layla knows she only has forty-eight hours to convince the police that bringing in the man she knows only as 'Michael' will
clear her name and reveal a dangerous game affecting not just Amy and Layla, but her husband Russell and countless
others.
But as the detectives begin to uncover the whole truth about what happened to Amy, Layla will soon have to decide: how
much of that truth can she really risk being exposed?

________________________________________________________________
Wythenshawe, South Manchester. 1985.
The Dodds family once ruled Manchester's underworld; now the men are dead, leaving three generations of women
trapped in a house haunted by violence, harbouring an unregistered baby.
Matriarch Nedra presides over the household, which bustles with activity as she prepares the welcome feast for her
grandson Kelly's return from prison.
Her grieving daughter-in-law Carol is visited by both the welcome, intimate ghost of her murdered lover, and by Mac, an
ageing criminal enforcer, a man who may just offer her a real and possible future.
And then there is Jan the teenage tearaway running as fast as she can from her mother, her grandmother, and her own
unnamed baby.
Over the course of a few days, the Dodds women must each confront the true legacy of the men who have defined their
lives; and seize the opportunity to break the cycle for good.
A blistering portrait of a family on fire, Oxblood lays bare the horror of violence, the exile of grief, and the extraordinary
power of love.

Description
The glittering, sharp and sinister work of one of our most incisive and wickedly funny satirists; 'Isabel Colegate has no
rival' (The Times)
'What we feel for each other is really a passion for power,' said Judith. 'We want to destroy each other by making the other
fall in love with us.'
Judith Lane, not-quite-beautiful but charmingly serious, is the young widow of the war hero Anthony Lane, and an editor at
the successful if rather rakish publisher Hanescu Lane & Co. Ltd. But one evening the harmonious routine of Judith's life
is interrupted when she receives her first visit from Baldwin Reeves, who reveals that Anthony's wartime adventures were
not quite as glorious as the newspaper reports would have her believe. To protect Anthony's family from the scandal,
Judith reluctantly acquiesces to the repellent but attractive Reeves's demands but both blackmailer and blackmailee soon
find themselves out of their depth in ways they could not have anticipated.
Darkly funny, strangely sexy, and glittering with Isabel Colegate's scalpel-sharp wit, The Blackmailer is a savage and
sinister comic classic.
About the Author
Isabel Colegate was born in 1931 in London and was educated at Runton Hill School in Norfolk. In 1952 she went into
partnership with Anthony Blond, who was then starting a literary agency and would go on to found a publishing house,
and in 1953 she married Michael Briggs, with whom she has a daughter and two sons. Colegate's first novel, The
Blackmailer, was published in 1958 and was followed by twelve more novels and one work of non-fiction. Her bestselling
novel The Shooting Party won the W.H. Smith Literary Award and was adapted for a now-classic 1985 film. She has
written reviews for the Spectator, Daily Telegraph and Times Literary Supplement. Isabel Colegate was elected a Fellow
of the Royal Society of Literature in 1981. She lives in Somerset.

An exhilarating debut by a writer from Pakistan: provocative, funny, disarmingly original stories that upend
traditional notions of identity, dissect the dynamics of desire and fizz with energy and wit.
Description
'Are You Enjoying?' is emotional, equally hilarious, and gutting. I couldn't put this book down because I'd been welcomed
into the most intimate parts of these characters' lives' Rupi Kaur
'Fresh, intelligent, and bold: Mira Sethi's stories open up fascinating slices of contemporary life in Pakistan' Mohsin Hamid
'Complex, delicate stories, alert both to the comic and the tragic. And while they focus on characters changing in a
changing society, there is a timelessness about Sethi's work that I think comes from her precise observations that a
reader will remember like lines of poetry, for their beauty' Kiran Desai
Childhood best friends decide to marry in order to keep their sexuality a secret. A young heiress embarks on a secret
affair, ending in devastation but not for the party who was braced for it. A glum divorcee reaches out to his American

actress from a sheltered background in Karachi is forced to grow up fast on the set of her first major TV show where the
real intrigue takes place off-screen.

traditional notions of identity, scrutinising the relationship between power and desire, and fizzing with energy and wit.

The End of the World is a Cul de Sac
Louise Kennedy
Announcing a major new voice, The End of World is a Cul de Sac is the debut short story collection from the
twice shortlisted Sunday Times Audible Short Story Prize writer Louise Kennedy
Description
'A dazzling, heartbreaking debut collection' Guardian
'Kennedy's voice, and her unforgiving gaze, are electric' Sunday Times
'These stories sing, haunt and inspire laughter ... One of the best collections I've read in years' Sinead Gleeson
A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
The secrets people kept, the lies they told.
In these visceral, stunningly crafted stories, people are effortlessly cruel to one another, and the natural world is a
primitive salve. Here, women are domestically trapped by predatorial men, Ireland's folklore and politics loom large, and
poverty material, emotional, sexual seeps through every crack.
A wife is abandoned by her new husband in a ghost estate, with blood on her hands; a young woman is tormented by
visions of the man murdered by her brother during the Troubles; a pregnant mother fears the worst as her husband grows
illegal cannabis with the help of a vulnerable teenage girl; a woman struggles to forgive herself after an abortion threatens
to destroy her marriage.
Announcing a major new voice in literary fiction for the twenty-first century, these sharp shocks of stories offer flashes of
beauty, and even humour, amidst the harshest of truths.
About the Author

The Tangerine, Banshee, Wasifiri and Ambit and she has written for the Guardian, Irish Times, BBC Radio 4 and RTE

fiction - set to be a major new TV series

'Casey is fierce, obsessive and brilliant' Observer
'An action-packed rollercoaster of a read ... From the first twist to the heart-thumping finale, I was on the edge of my seat'
Charlotte Philby, author of The Second Woman
When acclaimed undercover journalist Casey Benedict is asked to interview a young woman with cystic fibrosis, the

drug even exists.
As Casey investigates, she follows the trail from the Maldives to a game reserve in Zimbabwe, using her undercover skills
to probe the truth and find out why the discovery of this new drug is being covered-up. When tragedy unexpectedly
strikes, Casey suspects that someone is trying to silence her, but she is not prepared to let the story drop, no matter how

A searing, page-turning, pulse-racing thriller that sees Casey on a hunt around the globe as she pursues a major exposé
into pioneering medical research and drugs that could change the world.

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Sacrifice
Brian Freeman
The new espionage thriller in Robert Ludlum's Bourne series featuring daredevil agent Jason Bourne, by
bestselling author Brian Freeman.
Description
Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech giant in the latest electrifying entry in Robert
Ludlum's New York Times bestselling series.
Bourne is back...
Jason Bourne has faced many killers before, but none as dangerous as the assassin who calls himself Lennon. Bourne
thought he had Lennon cornered in Iceland, only to have the killer escape in a fiery explosion. Now Lennon's trail leads
Bourne to New York and then to Washington D.C. and the body count rises with each deadly encounter.
Bourne believes the assassin has a shadowy new employer called the Pyramid. The only clue to the group's agenda is a
young German woman, murdered in D.C. on her way to a covert meeting. But the woman's entire identity turns out to be a
lie, and news reports of her death have been strangely twisted and suppressed.
Finding the truth about this woman may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon and uncover the conspiracy behind the
Pyramid. But the chase comes with high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is digging into the
mystery too, and the battle against Lennon and the Pyramid will soon put Abbey in the assassin's crosshairs. Bourne will
need to use every bit of his tradecraft and his genius for mayhem to expose this web of lies and murder before Lennon
kills the woman he loves.
Praise for Brian Freeman's Bourne books:
'Freeman has a firm grasp of Bourne's tangled background plus the skills to keep the action front and center. Bourne fans
will hope for an encore from this talented author' Publishers Weekly
'Freeman's first Jason Bourne thriller is a treat for fans of the late Robert Ludlum' Kirkus Reviews

barren plain of ice and snow, to survive they must cross the river's frozen waters.
There's just one thing in their way.
Petty feuds have been cast aside, six thousand heavy cavalry marshalled. Will it be enough? For across the ice lies the
Roman Empire, and deployed in front of them, one of its legions. The Sarmatians are proud, cast as if from the ice itself.
After decades of warfare they are the only tribe still fighting the Romans. They have broken legions in battle before. They
will do so again.
They charge.
Sarmatian warrior Kai awakes on a bloodied battlefield, his only company the dead. The disgrace of his defeat
compounded by his survival, Kai must now navigate a course between honour and shame, his people and the Empire, for
Rome hasn't finished with Kai or the Sarmatians yet.
PRAISE FOR SMILE OF THE WOLF:
'Superb... This is a thoughtful, literary take on a world that is more often depicted in a boy's adventure way. The focus in
Leach's book is not on the fighting, but on the strange, inescapable logic that makes the fighting inevitable' The Times,
Book of the Year
'A poetic, absorbing narrative with many of the same qualities as the medieval Icelandic sagas that it echoes and
reimagines' Sunday Times, Book of the Year
'Smile of the Wolf bares its fangs from the first page. Like a medieval tapestry, the storytelling is rich with imagery.
Readers will be lured spellbound into this lyrical and evocative Icelandic saga. It deserves huge success' David Gilman

The Watchers: A gripping debut horror novel
A.M. Shine
An Irish horror adventure set in the unknown forests of Galway, where humans are kept under observation by
screaming creatures, from debut author A. M. Shine.
Description
A spine-chilling Irish horror adventure set in the remote and sinister forests of Ireland, from debut Irish author A.M. Shine.
'A dark, claustrophobic read' T. Kingfisher, author of Paladin's Grace
You can't see them. But they can see you.
This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is
forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams
behind her, the building is besieged by screams.
Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the Watchers come
above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who
doesn't reach the bunker in time.
Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers and why are these creatures
keeping them imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?
'Readers get an intimate glimpse into the fraying edges of each character's psyches, the constant hunger, the paranoia,
the loss of hope, and far worse... A combination of supernatural and psychological horror, The Watchers will appeal to
fans of Kealan Patrick Burke, Josh Malerman, and Scott Smith' A.E. Siraki, Booklist

Best Crime Stories of the Year
Lee Child, Otto Penzler
Selected by #1 bestselling author Lee Child: the twenty finest short stories of 2021.
Description
Selected by #1 bestselling author Lee Child: the twenty finest short stories of 2021.
There is no finer form for a crime than the short story. WIthin a few pages, a clue can be discovered, divulged and its
significance determined; all else is mere embellishment. The classic mystery tale will be familiar to aficionados and casual
readers alike: it was invented by Edgar Allen Poe, popularised by Arthur Conan Doyle, and perfected by Agatha Christie.
But mystery fiction has changed a great deal over the years as have all things and the writers within these pages present
far more than a simple case of crime and resolution. Far from predictable, these stories provide fertile grounds of aberrant
circumstances and the poor choices they lead to. You will find diverse methods and motivations, original perspectives and
perils. Above all, you will find tales of the extremes of human psychology caused by despair, hate, greed, fear, envy,
insanity or love.
Featuring stories by: Doug Allyn, Jim Allyn, Ambrose Bierce, Michael Bracken, James Lee Burke, Martin Edwards, John
Floyd, Jacqueline Freimor, Alison Gaylin, Sue Grafton, Paul Kemprecos, Stephen King, Janice Law, Dennis McFadden,
David Marcum, Tom Mead, David Morrell, Joyce Carol Oates, Sara Paretsky, Joseph Walker, Andrew Welsh-Huggins.
About the Author

Maror
Lavie Tidhar

Pachinko or A Little Life.
Description
A multi-generational saga with cultural and political depth, drawing on the rich, often troubling recent history of Israel, for
fans of A History of Seven Killings or The White Tiger.
How do you build a nation?
It takes statesmen and soldiers, farmers and factory workers, of course. But it also takes thieves, prostitutes and
policemen.

his country. A reasonable man for unreasonable times.
A car bomb in the back streets of Tel Aviv. A diamond robbery in Haifa. Civil war in Lebanon. Rebel fighters in the
Colombian jungle. A double murder in Los Angeles.
How do they all connect? Only Cohen knows.
Maror is the story of a war for a country's soul a dazzling spread of narrative gunshots across four decades and three
continents.
It is a true story. All of these things happened.
Praise for Maror:
'Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire... Maror is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece, immense in its sympathies,
alarming in its irreverences and altogether exhilarating' Junot Daaz
'One of the boldest, most visionary writers I've ever read creates both a vivid political exploration and a riveting crime epic.
It's like the Jewish Godfather!' Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Woman of a Certain Rage
Georgie Hall
A novel about love, life and a second shot at freedom. Eliza is angry. Very angry, and very, very hot. But then a
moment of heroism draws an unexpected admirer, and Eliza sets out to discover whether the second half of
life can be a glass half full after all.
Description
'Made me laugh and flinch in equal measure' Sophie Kinsella
Eliza is angry. Very angry, and very, very hot.
Late for work and dodging traffic, she's still reeling from the latest row with husband Paddy. Twenty-something years ago,
their eyes met over the class divide in oh-so-cool Britpop London, but while Paddy now seems content filling his downtime
with canal boats and cricket, Eliza craves the freedom and excitement of her youth. Fifty sounds dangerously close to
pensionable: her woke children want to cancel her, a male motorist has just called her a 'mad old bat' and to cap it all her
hormones are on the run.
But then a moment of heroism draws an unexpected admirer, and Eliza sets out to discover whether the second half of life
can be a glass half full after all.
Woman of a Certain Rage is a smart and funny novel for all women who won't be told it's too late to shake things up.
Praise for Woman of a Certain Rage:
'Georgie Hall has created a brand new, funny and brilliantly honest voice in this hugely relatable book. I loved the mix of
comedy, warmth and frank reality it made me laugh and flinch in equal measure' Sophie Kinsella
'Fierce, brilliant, honest and very, very funny this book is a must' Jenny Colgan
'Warm, wise and laugh-out-loud witty, Eliza and her unexpected midlife resurgence are simply magnificent. Bridget Jones
on HRT (and bigger pants). I absolutely loved it' Lucy Dillon
'Beautifully written and smart as a whip, this is a funny and truthful novel about love and life past the big five-0. Hall has
created a character that mid-life readers can not only root for but identify with too' Mike Gayle
'This novel is everything a fantastic read should be: insightful, funny, truthful, sensitive, beautifully observed and above all
well-told. Menopause hit her she hit it back HARD! READ IT!!' Freya North
'Woman of a Certain Rage is tender and wickedly funny, and I found myself wishing Eliza could be my best friend. She is
honest and true, and she navigates life with hard-won insight that will leave the reader tearing up one minute and
dissolving in laughter the next. Deeply emotional and affecting, this is a novel you'll want to last forever and you'll hope
that Eliza will return, so we can follow her all through life. Georgie Hall is a wonderful writer' Luanne Rice (New York
Times bestselling author)
About the Author

The Year of the Comet
Sergei Lebedev
A story of a Russian boyhood and coming of age as the Soviet Union is on the brink of collapse.
Description
From the critically acclaimed author of Oblivion comes Year of the Comet, a story of a Russian boyhood and coming of
age as the Soviet Union is on the brink of collapse.
An idyllic childhood takes a sinister turn. Rumours of a serial killer haunt the neighbourhood, families pack up and leave
town without a word of warning, and the country begins to unravel. Policemen stand by as protesters overtake the streets,
knowing that the once awe-inspiring symbols of power they wear on their helmets have become devoid of meaning.
Lebedev depicts a vast empire coming apart at the seams, transforming a very public moment into something tender and
personal, and writes with stunning beauty and shattering insight about childhood and the growing consciousness of a boy
in the world.
About the Author
Sergei Lebedev was born in Moscow in 1981 and worked for seven years on geological expeditions in northern Russia
and Central Asia. Lebedev is a poet, essayist and journalist. His novels have been translated into many languages and

Russia's younger generation of writers'.

friendship, secrets, and the face we present to the world.
Description
Three women take the same Eurostar to Paris for a girls' trip, but take separate trains back. What happened that
weekend? A thought-provoking and gripping novel about trying to hold on to friendships when you start to grow apart.
Three best friends. A weekend away. And a whole lot of baggage.
Alice, Nina and Jules have been best friends for twenty years. They met in Paris and return there once a year, to relive
their youth, leave the troubles of home behind, and indulge in each other's friendship and warmth. But this year, aged
thirty-nine, the cracks in their relationships are starting to show...
After their weekend together in Paris, the three women never speak again. Each claims the other two ghosted them. But
is there more to the story?
Praise for After Paris:
'An insightful, keenly observed story about friendship and motherhood, the internal struggles we all face and our flaws and

from. I think every reader will find a version of themselves somewhere in this book, and this is what Nicole Kennedy does
so brilliantly' Holly Miller, author of What Might Have Been

Description
From bestselling crime novelist and renowned Irish TV journalist Sinéad Crowley, gripping dual timelines entwine in this
heart-stopping story of old secrets and forbidden passion.
An old house can hold many secrets. Hollowpark in the west of Ireland certainly does. At the heart of the gardens is an
intricate maze, named after a deadly poison, Belladonna. If you know the way through, it's magical, a hiding place and
playground like no other. If you don't, it's a place of fear and sinister riddles, where a young girl once went missing and
was never seen again.
Grace comes to Hollowpark as a nanny for young Skye FitzMahon. Soon the mysterious past of Hollowpark has seduced
her. Who is the woman she sometimes glimpses in an upstairs window? Or the apparition who keeps showing up
unexpectedly, pleading, 'Find me'. And how can she fight her growing attraction to Skye's father?

still missing Maeve Binchy, this one's for you' Erin Kelly

Equinox
David Towsey

another, their ends do not always align. For Special Inspector Morden, whose hunt for a dangerous witch
takes him far from home, this will be a problem...
Description
In this world, two souls inhabit a single body, one by day, one by night. But though they live alongside one another, their
ends do not always align. For Special Inspector Morden, whose hunt for a dangerous witch takes him far from home, this
will be a problem...
Christophor Morden lives by night. His day-brother, Alexsander, knows only the sun. They are two souls in a single body,
in a world where identities change with the rising and setting of the sun. Night-brother or day-sister, one never sees the
light, the other knows nothing of the night.
Early one evening, Christophor is roused by a call to the city prison. A prisoner has torn his eyes out and cannot say why.
Yet worse: in the sockets that once held his eyes, teeth are growing. The police suspect the supernatural, so Christophor,
a member of the king's special inspectorate, is charged with finding the witch responsible.
Night-by-night, Christophor's investigation leads him ever further from home, toward a backwards village on the far edge
of the kingdom. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more his day-brother's actions frustrate him. Who is Alexsander
protecting? What does he not want Christophor to discover?
And all the while, an ancient and apocalyptic ritual creeps closer to completion...

Art conservator JJ Jego is housesitting an apartment for her museum director boss in an exclusive part of Sydney's
Woolloomooloo. JJ's hobby is photography and when an incident involving the police unfolds on the pier she starts
clicking away. Later she finds she has captured something unusual in the window of an apartment. It looks like a Vincent

the only famous painting she glimpses. Other works are from the notorious 1990 Isabella Gardner Stewart museum

But what are they doing in Sydney? JJ needs to find a way to get inside that apartment to discover if the artworks are
prints, fakes or genuine. She reluctantly enlists the help of her estranged father, an ex-detective, who she hasn't spoken

art.
From the pubs of Belfast to the boardrooms of Monte Carlo, this gripping art heist thriller exposes a shadowy underworld
and JJ and her father are drawn into a web of intrigue, deception and murder, as they cross paths with a global crime
empire in a pursuit to solve one of art history's biggest mysteries.

are atoned for. And, while Ana s comes to terms with her history, the present threatens to overwhelm her. Pregnant,

buried.

Motherlands: In Search of Our Inherited Cities
Amaryllis Gacioppo
In a world built by human migration, an Australian returns to her ancestral home of Italy in search of the
meaning of belonging.
Description
Our creation stories begin with the notion of expulsion from our 'original' home. We spend our lives struggling to return to
the place we fit in, the body we belong in, the people that understand us, the life we were meant for. But the places we
remember are ever-changing, and ever since we left, they continue to alter themselves, betraying the deal made when
leaving.
Australian writer Amaryllis Gacioppo has been raised on stories of original homes, on the Palermo of her mother, the
Benghazi of her grandmother and the Turin of her great-grandmother. But what does belonging mean when you're not
sure of where home is? Is the modern nation state defined by those who flourish there or by those who aren't welcome? Is
visiting the land of one's ancestors a return, a chance to feel complete, or a fantasy?
Weaving memoir and cultural history through modern political history, examining notions of citizenship, statelessness,
memory and identity and the very notion of home, Motherlands heralds the arrival of a major talent that opens one's eyes
to new ways of seeing.
About the Author
Amaryllis Gacioppo is a journalist and author with a Joint PhD in Creative Writing from Monash University and the
University of Bologna. In 2015 her story 'Dreams' won the Lord Mayor of Melbourne Award for Short Story. Her writing has
been shortlisted for a number of awards, including the Bristol Short Story Prize and the Scribe Nonfiction Prize. Her
stories and essays have appeared in Award Winning Australian Writing, Catapult, 3:AM, and elsewhere. This is her first
book.

The Catch: Fishing for Ted Hughes
Mark Wormald
A brilliant blend of memoir and biography, a stunning meditation on poetry and nature, and a quiet reflection on
what it means to be a father and a son
Description
It is in the midst of a swirling river, casting a line, that Mark Wormald meets Ted Hughes.
He stands where the poet stood, forty years ago, because fishing was Ted Hughes's way of breathing and because the
poet's writing has made Mark understand that it has always been his way of breathing, too.
Using Hughes's poetry collection River and his fishing diaries as a guide, Mark returns again and again to the rivers and
lakes in Britain and Ireland where the poet fished. At times, he uses Ted's fly patterns; at others his rods. It is an
obsession; a fundamental connection to nature; a thrilling wildness; an elemental pursuit. But it is also a release and a
consolation, as Mark fishes after the sudden death of his mother and during the slow fading of his father.
A brilliant blend of memoir and biography, The Catch is a stunning meditation on poetry and nature, and a quiet reflection
on what it means to be a father and a son.
About the Author
Mark Wormald has been fishing since the age of four. He is an award-winning poet, winning the Newdigate Prize at
Oxford in 1988 and an E. C. Gregory Award from the Society of Authors in 1995.
Mark has been a Fellow in English at Pembroke College, Cambridge, since 1992. He edited Charles Dickens's The
Pickwick Papers for Penguin Classics and more recently co-edited two collections of essays: Ted Hughes: from
Cambridge to Collected (2013) and Ted Hughes, Nature and Culture (2018).

Alexandria: The Quest for the Lost City
Edmund Richardson
'Not all lost cities are real, but this one was -'
The extraordinary story of Alexander the Great's lost city, and a quest to unravel one of the most captivating
mysteries in ancient history
Description
'A jewel of a book' - SUNDAY TIMES
'The pace and deftly woven plot complexity of a John le Carré novel ... A small masterpiece'
- GUARDIAN
'Enthralling - A remarkable story, full of grandeur and violence - (and) a powerful commentary on the horrors inflicted by
the East India Company' - NEW YORK TIMES
For centuries the city of Alexandria Beneath the Mountains was a meeting point of East and West. Then it vanished. In
1833 it was discovered in Afghanistan by the unlikeliest person imaginable: Charles Masson, an ordinary, working-class
boy from London turned deserter, pilgrim, doctor, archaeologist and highly respected scholar.
On the way into one of history's most extraordinary stories, Masson would take tea with kings, travel with holy men and
become the master of a hundred disguises; he would see things no westerner had glimpsed before and few have
glimpsed since.
This is a wild journey through nineteenth-century India and Afghanistan, with impeccably researched storytelling that
shows us a world of espionage and dreamers, ne'er-do-wells and opportunists, extreme violence both personal and
military, and boundless hope. At the edge of empire, amid the deserts and the mountains, it is the story of an obsession
passed down through the centuries.

Daisy Johnson on Lizzo, Ben Okri on Miles Davis to David Mitchell on Joni Mitchell, Sarah Perry on Rachmaninov to

and showing how a single LP can shape a writer's mind.

Burning Man: The Ascent of DH Lawrence
Frances Wilson
A landmark in biography: a hypnotic triumph of literary exploration
Description
**LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2021**
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2021**
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE**
**FINALIST FOR THE 2022 PLUTARCH AWARD**
D. H. Lawrence is no longer censored, but he is still on trial and we are still unsure what the verdict should be.
Delving into the memoirs of those who both loved and hated him most, Burning Man follows Lawrence from the peninsular
underworld of Cornwall in 1915 to post-war Italy to the mountains of New Mexico, and traces the author's footsteps
through the pages of his lesser known work. Wilson presents a complex, courageous and often comic fugitive, careering
around a world in the grip of apocalypse, in search of utopia; and, in bringing the true Lawrence into sharp focus, shows
how he speaks to us now more than ever.

Perilous Bounty: The Looming Collapse of American Farming and
How We CanPrevent It
Tom Philpott
An unsettling journey into the disaster-bound American food system, and an exploration of possible solutions,
from leading food politics commentator and former farmer Tom Philpott.
Description
New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
An unsettling journey into the disaster-bound American food system, and an exploration of possible solutions, from
leading food politics commentator and former farmer Tom Philpott.
More than a decade after Michael Pollan's game-changing The Omnivore's Dilemma transformed the conversation about
what we eat, a combination of global diet trends and corporate interests have put American agriculture into a state of
"quiet emergency," from dangerous drought in California--which grows more than 50 percent of the fruits and vegetables
we eat--to catastrophic topsoil loss in the "breadbasket" heartland of the United States. Whether or not we take heed,
these urgent crises of industrial agriculture will define our future.
In Perilous Bounty, veteran journalist and former farmer Tom Philpott explores and exposes the small handful of seed and
pesticide corporations, investment funds, and magnates who benefit from the trends that imperil us, with on-the-ground
dispatches featuring the scientists documenting the damage and the farmers and activists who are valiantly and
inventively pushing back.
Resource scarcity looms on the horizon, but rather than pointing us toward an inevitable doomsday, Philpott shows how
the entire wayward ship of American agriculture could be routed away from its path to disaster. He profiles the farmers
and communities in the nation's two key growing regions developing resilient, soil-building, water-smart farming practices,
and readying for the climate shocks that are already upon us; and he explains how we can help move these methods from
the margins to the mainstream.

Wonderdog: How the science of dogs changed the science of life
Jules Howard
How dogs defied science and changed the way we think about animals
Description
How dogs defied science and changed the way we think about animals
What do dogs really think of us? What do dogs know and understand of the world? Do their emotions feel like our own?
Do they love like we do?
Driven by his own love of dogs, Charles Darwin was nagged by questions like these. To root out answers, his
contemporaries toyed with dog sign language. To reveal clues, they made special puzzle boxes and elaborate sniff tests
using old socks. Later, the same perennial questions about the minds of dogs drove Pavlov and Pasteur to unspeakable
cruelty in their search for truth. These big names in science influenced leagues of psychologists and animal behaviourists,
each building upon the ideas and received wisdom of previous generations but failing to see what was staring them in the
face that the very methods humans used to study dogs' minds were influencing the insights reflected back.
To discover the impressive cognitive feats that dogs are capable of, a new approach was needed. Treated with love and
compassion, dogs would open up their unique perspective on the world, and a new breed of scientists would be provided
answers to life's biggest questions.
Wonderdog is the story of those dogs a historical account of how we came to know what dogs are capable of. It's a
celebration of animal minds and the secrets they hold. And it's a love letter to science, through the good times and the
bad.

Belonging: The Key to Transforming and Maintaining Diversity,
Inclusionand Equality at Work
Sue Unerman, Kathryn Jacob, Mark Edwards
A groundbreaking investigation into diversity and equality in the workplace, arguing that both men and women
need to be active participants in the conversation if any meaningful progress is to take place.
Description
"The most important business book of the year" - Esquire
There's never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace. From gender pay gaps and the
#MeToo movement to Black Lives Matter, it seems that every organization has finally recognised that lasting change
needs to happen.
Various studies show that the most successful and productive senior management teams are those which are truly
diverse and eclectic. Yet there remains only 8 female CEOs of FTSE 100 boards, and only 10 BAME people working in
leadership roles across companies in the FTSE 100.
While there has been a clear shift in attitudes, actual progress towards more inclusive workspaces has been
excruciatingly slow and, in some cases, has grinded to a halt. Following extensive research and interviews at over 200
international businesses, Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman and Mark Edwards have discovered one major problem that is
holding back the move towards greater diversity: why aren't the men getting involved?
Most men are not engaged with D&I initiatives in the workplace at one extreme they may be feeling actively hostile and
threatened by the changing cultural landscape. But others may be unmotivated to change recognising the abstract
benefits of diversity but not realising what's in it for them. The time for change is long past. Belonging ?is the call to action
we need today--the tool to turn the men in power into allies as we battle discrimination, harassment, pay gaps, and
structural racism and patriarchy at every level of the workplace. The lessons in this book will help us work together to build
a better workplace where everyone feels they belong.

Re:Align: A Leadership Blueprint for Overcoming Disruption and
ImprovingPerformance
Jonathan Trevor
A practical toolkit on how leaders can turn adversity into advantage by developing the capabilities required to
realign their businesses to thrive in the future.
Description
Why do some businesses thrive while many more struggle? In this age of disruption, a key reason is the failure of many
leaders to realign all the moving parts of their enterprise, including its business strategy and how it is organised, to best
support its enduring purpose. Thousands of enterprises globally are operating below their potential simply because they
are not well aligned or fail to realign to reflect the new realities of their changing business environment. This book aims to
change that.
This book is about strategic realignment, a leadership process to overcome disruption and secure high performance on a
sustainable basis. Given that change is a constant and disruption to the business environment ever more likely, strategic
realignment must become a core competency in order that all enterprises and leaders can succeed in the future. Most
executives recognise this but lack a robust system of thought to execute strategic realignment effectively and realise its
full benefits. But once mastered, strategic realignment offers a means of turning disruption into an advantage.
In Re:Align, Jonathan Trevor provides a blueprint to help leaders ask good questions, have better conversations and
make the best possible choices to realign their enterprise to be fit for purpose. Drawing upon active research at the
University of Oxford's Sa d Business School (with contributions from the joint works of Dr Jonathan Trevor and Dr Barry
Varcoe), the book also provides practical case studies and evidence-based insights. Re:Align offers both a thoughtful and
compelling message as well as an effective toolkit to help leaders everywhere to overcome disruption and improve
enterprise performance.

leadership teams in all sectors internationally to help them to transform their organizations to be fit for purpose. Jonathan
received his doctorate in management studies from the University of Cambridge and was a visiting scholar at the

What We Owe the Future: The Million-Year View
William MacAskill
How does morality change when we consider all the people who have not yet been born?
Description
We are remarkably early in the story of human civilisation.
We are still five hundred million years away from the sterilisation of the Earth by the Sun, and one hundred trillion years
away from the dying of the last stars. Leaving a shard of broken glass on the ground may harm someone tomorrow or one
hundred thousand years hence. Our duty of care to each of those individuals is the same.
Positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time. This is the idea fuelling a burgeoning
movement of longtermist thinkers: it explains why Elon Musk is trying to colonise Mars and why Jeff Bezos spent $42
million on a clock that will last 10,000 years.
Yet future peoples are completely disenfranchised - they can't lobby or vote for change. As we lock in today the global
values and systems that will outlast us by eons, let's not forget the many left to come whose quality of life is in our hands.
About the Author

Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason
The most talented musical family in the world. For the first time, mother Kadie Kanneh-Mason shares her
unique story.
Description
'Riveting, taking in prejudice as well as sacrifice. There are 4.30am starts, lost instruments, fractured wrists, all captured
with vivid flourishes. A paean to camaraderie.'
Observer
Seven brothers and sisters. All of them classically trained musicians. One was Young Musician of the Year and performed
for the royal family. The eldest has released her first album, showcasing the works of Clara Schumann. These siblings
don't come from the rarefied environment of elite music schools, but from a state comprehensive in Nottingham. How did
they do it?
Their mother, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, opens up about what it takes to raise a musical family in a Britain divided by class
and race. What comes out is a beautiful and heartrending memoir of the power of determination, camaraderie and a lot of
hard work. The Kanneh-Masons are a remarkable family. But what truly sparkles in this eloquent memoir is the joyous
affirmation that children are a gift and we must do all we can to nurture them.
About the Author
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason is a former lecturer at Birmingham University and the mother of seven children. The third eldest,
Sheku Kanneh-Mason, was BBC Young Musician 2016 and performed at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle. The siblings have performed at the 2018 BAFTA ceremony, Britain's Got Talent, The Royal Variety Performance
and at major concert halls around the world.

TRANS
Helen Joyce
How gender identity conquered the world and what it means for women, children, gay people and the sporting
community
Description
'There are few subjects which need treatment that is at once delicate, thoughtful and brave. Helen Joyce manages all of
these things in Trans. Anyone looking to understand this most fraught of issues should start here.' Douglas Murray, author
of The Madness of Crowds
Gender identity ideology is about more than twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just ten years, laws, company
policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-
declared gender identity over biological sex.
People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining 'man' and 'woman'.
While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our
bodies, particularly with regard to women's rights, fairness in sport, same sex attraction and children's development.
If we recommit to our liberal values of freedom of belief, freedom of speech and robust debate, we stand a chance of
addressing what is at stake.
About the Author
Helen Joyce is a senior staff journalist at The Economist, where she has worked for 15 years. Since becoming interested
in gender-identity issues, she has written a number of articles and editorials on the topic for The Economist and other
outlets. She tweets at @HJoyceGender

Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes
Barnaby Phillips
A tragic story of British empire run amok and the plunder of great works of art
Description
'A fascinating and timely book.' William Boyd
'Gripping -a must read.' FT
'Compelling -humane, reasonable, and ultimately optimistic.' Evening Standard
'(A) valuable guide to a complex narrative.' The Times
In 1897, Britain sent a punitive expedition to the Kingdom of Benin, in what is today Nigeria, in retaliation for the killing of
seven British officials and traders. British soldiers and sailors captured Benin, exiled its king and annexed the territory.
They also made off with some of Africa's greatest works of art.
This is the story of the 'Benin Bronzes': their history before the British took them, their fate since 1897, and the intense
debate about their future. When they were first displayed in London their splendour and antiquity challenged the prevailing
view of Africa as a continent without culture or history. They are now amongst the most admired and valuable artworks in
the world. But seeing the Benin Bronzes in the British Museum today is, in the words of one Benin City artist, like 'visiting
relatives behind bars'. In a time of huge controversy about the legacy of empire, racial justice and the future of museums,
what does the future hold for the Bronzes?

Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge
Erica Gies
A journey through time and around the world to uncover water's true nature, and how it can help us adapt to
climate change.
Description
A journey through time and around the world to uncover water's true nature, and how it can help us adapt to climate
change.
Trouble with water increasingly frequent, extreme floods and droughts is one of the first obvious signs of climate change.
Meanwhile, urban sprawl, industrial agriculture and engineered water infrastructure are making things worse. As our
control attempts fail, we are forced to recognize an eternal truth: sooner or later, water always wins.
Award-winning science journalist Erica Gies follows water 'detectives' as they search for clues to water's past and present.
Their tools: cutting-edge science and research into historical ecology, animal life, and earlier human practices. Their
discoveries: a deeper understanding of what water wants and how accommodating nature can protect us and other
species.
Modern civilizations tend to speed water away. We have forgotten that it must flex with the rhythms of the earth, and that
only collaboration with nature will allow us to forge a more resilient future.

Heiresses: The Lives of the Million Dollar Babies
Laura Thompson
A survey of the world of the wealthy heiress glittering and gleaming, flawed and fascinating from the
seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries.
Description
Heiresses is a glorious book, endlessly entertaining and about much more than its stated subject. Thompson is a fabulous
writer' Caroline O'Donoghue
'Witty, insightful, deliciously gossip-laden and slightly scandalous... Heiresses makes for an entertaining, occasionally sad
and never less than gripping read' Anne Sebba
'Excellent... (A) wonderfully entertaining book' Sunday Times
'Exquisite and gossipy... Thompson, a gifted storyteller, obviously delighted in the writing of this book' TLS
'(A) deeply empathetic study of heiresses through the ages' The Times
'Life is less sad with money', said Emerald Cunard; Barbara Hutton was the 'Poor Little Rich Girl', but which is true?
Laura Thompson explores the phenomenon of the heiress from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries. Take Mary
Davies, a child bride at the age of twelve, and her thousand-acre dowry of today's Mayfair and Belgravia, which gave the
Grosvenors their stupendous wealth. Or Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough, whose American railroad fortune
helped sustain Blenheim Palace. Winnaretta Singer showcased the work of Debussy in her Parisian salon; Daisy
Fellowes enjoyed parties, fashion and other people's husbands without shame or conscience. Alice de Janzé shot one of
her lovers and was suspected of murdering a second; Woolworth heiress, Barbara Hutton, married seven times.
Money should mean power and opportunity, but in the hands of these women it was so often absent. Why did so many
struggle to live with so much? Did the removal of need render their life meaningless? Were they riven with guilt at all they
had, knowing they really should be happy? With her signature intelligence and wit, Laura Thompson tells these women's
stories glittering and fascinating but often sad and scandalous on a gripping search for the answer.
About the Author
Laura Thompson is the author of several critically acclaimed works of non-fiction. Her first book The Dogs: A Personal
History of Greyhound Racing won the Somerset Maugham Award. Rex V. Edith Thompson: A Tale of Two Murders was

Four Killings: Land Hunger, Murder and A Family in the Irish
Revolution
Myles Dungan
A meticulously researched history of the fate of a single family in the period of the Irish Revolution from a well
known broadcaster.
Description
The story of a single family during the Irish Revolution, Four Killings is a book about political murder, and the powerful
hunger for land and the savagery it can unleash.
'A vivid and chilling narrative... Confronts uncomfortable questions that still need answering' Roy Foster
'Marries acute storytelling skills with scholarship, fortified throughout by the author's wry sense of humour' Michael Heney
'Narrative history, told through a unique prism' Irish Sunday Independent
'Dungan knows his history; he also knows how to tell a story... A gem of a book' RTE Culture
'Sober and intelligent... Dungan does a fine job of showing that little people can make history too' Business Post
Myles Dungan's family was involved in four violent deaths between 1915 and 1922. Jack Clinton, an immigrant small
farmer from County Meath, was murdered in the remote and lawless Arizona territory by a powerful rancher's hired
assassin; three more died in Ireland, and each death is compellingly reconstructed in this extraordinary book. What unites
these deaths is the violence that engulfed Ireland during the war of independence, but also the passions unleashed by
arguments over the ownership of the soil.
In focusing on one family, Four Killings offers an original perspective on this still controversial period: a prism through
which the moral and personal costs of violence, and the elemental conflict over land, come alive in surprising ways.
About the Author

and Fulbright scholar in the School of History and Archives, University College, Dublin. He has also compiled and

Louis Barfe
The story of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise British television's most iconic double act.
Description
The unique story of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise British television's most iconic double act.
'A warm and sympathetic portrait of two pals who conquered the world simply by radiating hilarious friendship' Sunday
Times
'Barfe lifts the lid on the lives of TV's most iconic double act... and gets to the heart of what made them so loved by a
nation' Sunday Post
'Set to be the definitive account of the television age's funniest pair' New European
'Colour about the characters of (Morecambe and Wise) is mixed with Barfe's usual forensic research' Chortle
The Morecambe and Wise Show was the crème de la crème of TV light entertainment from the late 1960s until the early
1980s. The hardy perennial comedy duo at its heart had even greater longevity, spanning five decades and becoming a
national institution whose shows drew audiences in excess of twenty million. They also loved each other like brothers, and
the audience repaid that love; they were the nation's best friends.
In Sunshine and Laughter, Louis Barfe tells the touching story of Morecambe and Wise, and explores how it is that thirty-
seven years after their last television show, the tall handsome one with glasses and the one with the short, fat, hairy legs
continue to work their unique brand of comedy magic.

Captives: How Rikers Island Took New York City Hostage
Jarrod Shanahan
The first definitive history of America's most notorious jail and the violent rise of New York City's law
enforcement
Description
Captives combines a thrilling narrative account of Rikers Island's descent into infamy with a dramatic retelling of the last
seventy years of New York and American politics from the vantage point of its jails. It is a story of a crowded field of
contending powers city bureaucrats and unions, black power activists and correction offices, crooked cops and elected
leaders struggle for the right to run our cities, a story that culminates in the triumph of of the twin figures we today call
neoliberalism and mass incarceration. It is the history of how the Rikers Island of today and the social order it represents
came to be.
With a sweeping vision and an often cinematic touch, Captives records how the tempo of history was set by the
metronome of bloody and bruising clashes between corrections officers and prisoners, and between police officers and
virtually everyone else. Written by a one-time inmate, Captives draws on extensive archival research, decades of
journalism, interviews, prisoner testimonials, and firsthand experience to deliver an urgent intervention into our nationwide
conversation about the future of mass incarceration.

Girl Online: A User Guide
Joanna Walsh
What happens when a woman goes online? She becomes a girl.
Description
The unwritten contract of the internet, that a user is what is used, extends from the well-examined issue of data privacy
and consent to the very selves women are encouraged to create in order to appear. Invited to self-construct as 'girls
online', vloggers, bloggers and influencers sign a devil's bargain: a platform on the condition they commodify themselves,
eternally youthful, cute and responsibility-free, hiding offline domestic, professional and emotional labour while paying for
their online presence with 'accounts' of personal 'experience'.
This arresting personal narrative disguises the truth of a women negotiating the (cyber)space between her identities as
girl, mother, writer, and commodified online persona. Written in a plethora of the online styles, from programming
language to the blog/diary, from tweets to lyric prose, Girl Online takes in selfies, social media, celebrity and
Cyberfeminism. It is an (anti) user manifesto, exploding the terms and conditions of appearing online under the sign of
'girl'. A profound and moving philosophical investigation into the online experience of women as everyday users, it asks, is
the personal internet a trap, or can it also be an opportunity for survival, and resistance?

The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness
Paul Gilroy
Timely reissue of the classic radical history of race and modernity
Description
In this ground-breaking work, Paul Gilroy proposes that the modern black experience can not be defined solely as African,
American, Carribean or British alone, but can only be understand as a Black Atlantic culture that transcends ethnicity or
nationality. This culture is thorough modern and, often, overlooked but can deeply enriches our understanding of what it
means to be modern.
This condition comes out of historical transoceanic experience, established first with the slave trade but later seen in the
development of a transatlantic culture. And Gilroy takes us on a tour of the music that, for centuries, has transmitted racial
messages and feeling around the world, from the Jubilee Singers in the nineteenth century to Jimi Hendrix to rap. He also
explores this internationalism as it is manifested in black writing from the "double consciousness" of W. E. B. Du Bois to
the "double vision" of Richard Wright to the compelling voice of Toni Morrison. As a consequence, Black Atlantic charts
the formation of a nationalism, if not a nation, within this shared, disasporic culture.
About the Author
Paul Gilroy is the author of There Ain't no Black in the Union Jack, Small Acts, Between Camps, and After Empire, Black
Britain (with Stuart Hall) and Darker than Blue. He was also co-author of The Empire Strikes Back. He is the founding

Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming
Planet
Matt Huber
Eco-socialism or eco-barbarism!
Description
The climate crisis is not primarily a problem of 'believing science' or individual 'carbon footprints' it is a class problem
rooted in who owns, controls and profits from material production. As such, it will take a class struggle to solve. In this
ground breaking class analysis, Matthew T. Huber argues that the carbon-intensive capitalist class must be confronted for
producing climate change. Yet, the narrow and unpopular roots of climate politics in the professional class is not capable
of building a movement up to this challenge. For an alternative strategy, he proposes climate politics that appeals to the
vast majority of society: the working class. Huber evaluates the Green New Deal as a first attempt to channel working
class material and ecological interests and advocates building union power in the very energy system we so need to
dramatically transform. In the end, as in classical socialist movements of the early 20th Century, winning the climate
struggle will need to be internationalist based on a form of planetary working class solidarity.

AOC and the Rise of a New American Left
Raina Lipsitz
The first book taking stock of a new left generation
Description
A new progressive generation is on the rise in the United States, reflected in the mushrooming rolls of the Democratic
Socialists of America (90,000 mostly twentysomething members), Marxist explainers in Teen Vogue, and perhaps most
famously of all, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
AOC and the Rise of a New American Left is the first book to look closely at this new politics. Propelled by interviews with
AOC and the other key figures and organizations who have shaken up American politics, the book includes portraits of
groups like Democratic Socialists of America, the Sunrise Movement, and Justice Democrats, explaining who they are,
where they come from, and what they want. Investigating the panopy of strategies employed by the new movements and
their relationship to politicians from Bernie Sanders to Nancy Pelosi, the book describes how the generational focus on
insurgent electoral campaigns both aims to transform the Democratic Party and threatens to be captured by it.
Written with panache by a member of this rising generation, this book immerses the reader in a youth culture the likes of
which haven't been seen since Sixties.

Red List: MI5 and British Intellectuals in the Twentieth Century
David Caute
A gripping history of the Security Service and its covert surveillance on British writers and intellectuals in the
twentieth century.
Description
In the popular imagination MI5, or the Security Service, is known chiefly as the branch of the British state responsible for
chasing down those who endanger national security from Nazi fifth columnists to Soviet spies and today's domestic
extremists. Yet, working from official documents released to the National Archives,distinguished historian Caute discovers
that suspicion also fell on those who merely exercised their civil liberties, posing no threat to national security. In reality,
this 'other history' of the Security Service, was dictated not only by the consistent anti-Communist and Imperial aims of the
British state but also by the political prejudices of MI5's personnel. The guiding notions were 'Defence of the Realm' and
'subversion.'
Caute here exposes the massive state operation to track the activities and affiliations of a range of journalists, academics,
scientists, filmmakers, writers actors and musicians, who the Security Service classified as a threat to national security.
Guilt by association was paramount. Letters were opened, phones were intercepted, private homes were bugged and
citizens were placed under physical surveillance by Special Branch agents.
Among the targetsof surveillance are found such prominent figures as Arthur Ransome, Paul Robeson, J.B. Priestley,
Kingsley Amis, George Orwell, Doris Lessing, Christopher Isherwood, Stephen Spender, Dorothy Hodgkin, Jacob
Bronowski, John Berger, Benjamin Britten, Christopher Hill, Eric Hobsbawm, Kingsley Martin, Michael Redgrave, Joan
Littlewood, Joseph Losey, Michael Foot and Harriet Harman. More than 200 victims are listed here but further MI5 files
will be released to the National Archives.

Charged: How the Police Tried to Suppress Protest
Matt Foot, Morag Livingstone
Who Are the Police Meant to Protect? A History of Public Disorder.
Description
Charged is an essential investigation into the role of policing protest in Britain today. As the UK governments try to
suppress all forms of dissent, in their pursuit of more control, how do the police manage crowds, provoke violence and
even break the law?
The book tells the conflicted history of the relationship between the police and protesters. The landscape of how police
deal with protest changed following criticism of the police during the 1981 Brixton riots. New military-style tactics were
sanctioned by the Thatcher government, in secret. Over the next forty years those protesting against racism, unfair job
losses, draconian laws, or for environmental protection were subject to brutal tactics. In the aftermath, media attention
denigrates protesters while the police are praised and continue to act with impunity.
Looking through these moments of conflict widens our understanding of policing public order to reveal the true character
of the state. Since the 1980s successive governments, from Thatcher to Johnson, covertly plot to suppress protests, using
standardised aggressive tactics - from batons to horse charges to kettling. Through undisclosed documents and
eyewitness accounts the authors reveal organised police violence against miners at Orgreave, print workers at
Warrington, anti poll tax campaigners, student protestors and Black Lives Matter. The voices of protesters however have
been undeterred.

Abolition Geography: Selected Essays and Interviews
Ruth Wilson Gilmore
First collection of writings from one of the foremost contemporary critical thinkers on racism, geography and
incarceration.
Description
Race, Space and Abolition brings together Gilmore's essays, articles and interviews from over the past two decades. One
of the foremost contemporary theorists and activists in movements for prison abolition and social justice, Gilmore's essays
comprise searing analyses of the origins of mass incarceration and racial violence. This collection reveals her to be a
major theorist of the state, which she shows has today morphed into an 'anti-state state' organising the abandonment of
racialised and exploited populations. Countering these new formations of power, Gilmore presents us with a powerful
model for the radical articulation of scholarship and activism, and a novel way of asking ourselves the question: 'What is to
be done?' Edited and introduced by Brenna Bhandar and Alberto Toscano.

Vivian Gornick
One of our most vital and incisive writers on literature, feminism, and knowing one's self
Description
For nearly fifty years, Vivian Gornick's essays, written with her characteristic clarity of perception and vibrant prose, have
explored feminism and writing, literature and culture, politics and personal experience. Drawing writing from the course of
her career, All That is Given illuminates one of the driving themes behind Gornick's work: that the painful process of
understanding one's self is what binds us to the larger world.
In these essays, Gornick explores the lives and literature of Alfred Kazin, Mary McCarthy, Diana Trilling, Philip Roth, Joan
Didion, and Herman Melville; the cultural impact of Silent Spring and Uncle Tom's Cabin; and the characters you might
only find in a New York barber shop or midtown bus terminal. Even more, All That Is Given brings back into print her
incendiary essays, first published in the Village Voice, championing the emergence of the women's liberation movement of
the 1970s.
Alternately crackling with urgency or lucid with insight, the essays in All That Is Given demonstrate one of America's most
beloved critics at her best.
About the Author
Vivian Gornick is a writer and critic whose work has received two National Book Critics Circle Award nominations and
been collected in The Best American Essays 2014. Gornick was a legendary writer for Village Voice, chronicling the
emergence of the feminist movement in the 1970s, and a respected literary critic. Her works include the memoirs Fierce
Attachments ranked the best memoir of the last fifty years by the New York Times The Odd Woman and the City, and
Unfinished Business, as well as the classic text on writing, The Situation and the Story.

of Fennell's unique story-telling genius -. I can't recommend the ride highly enough." - Stephen Fry

famous is a comic classic comparable to Three Men in a Boat or Bill Bryson's The Thunderbolt Kid. Despite the
occasional success, disasters and failures dominate his business life. Nonetheless his jewellery has brought pleasure to
thousands and this book will bring pleasure to millions.

superpower when her drawings start coming to life. Perfect for fans of Onjali Q. Ra f and Aisha Bushby
Description
'A warm and charming journey of self-discovery; I particularly liked the irresistible voice of heroine Prune' - Fiona Noble,
Bookseller
_______________________
Magic comes from within ...
Uprooted by her single mum along with her troublesome older brother, eleven-year-old Prune Robinson is trying to settle
in a new town. She figures she can't burden her hard-working mother with the fact she's being bullied. Or the fact that her
drawings have started coming to life.
But with her brother soon in danger, Prune comes to realise that she can't hide her power forever; in fact, it might just be
the one thing that brings her family back together and saves them all.
Planned as the start of a series about remarkable children from the same neighbourhood, The Wondrous Prune is
poignant and surprising with wonderful wish fulfilment and accessible storytelling.

walks, browsing her local bookshop and the occasional spot of karaoke.

The Loophole
Naz Kutub
A gay Muslim boy travels the world for a second chance at love after a possibly magical heiress grants him
three wishes in this YA debut that's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda with a twist of magic.
Description
Sy is a sheltered and timid seventeen-year-old queer Indian-Muslim boy who placed all his bets at happiness on his
boyfriend Farouk...who then left him to try and "fix the world." Sy was too chicken to take the plunge and travel with him.
Stuck in a dead-end coffee shop job with a Quran-wielding father who's all too liberal with the belt, all Sy can do is wish for
another chance...
He never expects his wish to be granted.
When a hot-mess-of-an-heiress slams into (and slides down, streaks of make-up in her wake) the front window of the
coffee shop, Sy just shrugs it off and helps her up and on her way. But the girl offers him three wishes in exchange for
helping her, and after proving she can grant at least one wish with a funds transfer of a million dollars into Sy's pitifully
struggling bank account, a whole new world of possibility opens up.
Does Sy have the courage to make his way from L. A. through London, Istanbul, and Marrakesh, led by his potentially
otherworldly new friend, to track down his missing Farouk for one last, desperate chance at rebuilding his life and re-
finding love?
About the Author
Naz Kutub is a half-Indian, half-Malay immigrant from Singapore. This novel was inspired by his personal experiences
growing up as a queer Muslim, and as someone raised on a calorie-dense diet of Eastern lore.

Don't Call Me a Hurricane
Ellen Hagan
Description
An affecting and resonant YA novel in verse that explores family, community, the changing ocean tides, and what it
means to fall in love with someone who sees the world in a different way.
It's been five years since a hurricane ravaged Eliza Marino's life and home in her quiet town on the Jersey shore. Now a
senior in high school, Eliza is passionate about fighting climate change starting with saving Clam Cove Reserve, an area
of marshland that is scheduled to be turned into buildable lots. Protecting the island helps Eliza deal with her lingering
trauma from the storm, but she still can't shake the fear that something will come along and wash out her life once again.
When Eliza meets Milo Harris at a party, she tries to hate him. Milo is one of the rich tourists who flock to the island every
summer. But after Eliza reluctantly agrees to give Milo surfing lessons, she can't help falling for him. Still, Eliza's not sure
if she's ready to risk letting an outsider into the life she's rebuilt. Especially once she discovers that Milo is keeping a
devastating secret.
Told in stunning verse, Don't Call Me a Hurricane is a love story for the people and places we come from, and a journey to
preserve what we love most about home.

The Deadly Daylight: An Alice England Mystery
Ash Harrier
An original and engaging middle-grade mystery for fans of Friday Barnes and Enola Holmes, starring a
neurodiverse girl detective.
Description
Twelve-year-old Alice England is curious, truthful and smart, but when you work in your father's funeral home and you get
messages from the dead, it can be difficult to make friends.
When she comes across the peculiar case of George Devenish, who was allergic to sunlight, Alice is convinced there's
more to his death than meets the eye.
With the help of George's niece, 'Violet the Vampire', who shares her uncle's allergy, and a boy named Cal, who has
secrets of his own, Alice begins to investigate. Who were the teenagers under the dock when George died? How is the
sinister Doctor Grampian involved? And what about George's wife, Helen, whose baking is delicious but possibly
poisonous?
It seems the truth of George's death may never see the light of day unless Alice and her companions can put the clues
together and solve a mystery much bigger than anybody expected.
"Quirky, dark and delightful, I loved trying to solve this truly engrossing mystery." Shirley Marr

Crecy: Battle of Five Kings
Michael Livingston
A groundbreaking new study of the battle of Crécy, in which the outnumbered English under King Edward III
won a decisive victory over the French and changed the course of the Hundred Years War.
Description
'Like Crécy itself, this book is a triumph and the tale it tells gives an old story new life.' BERNARD CORNWELL,
bestselling author of The Last Kingdom series
A groundbreaking new study of the battle of Crécy, in which the outnumbered English under King Edward III won a
decisive victory over the French and changed the course of the Hundred Years War.
The battle of Crécy in 1346 is one of the most famous and widely studied military engagements in history. The
repercussions of this battle were felt for hundreds of years, and the exploits of those fighting reached the status of legend.
Yet cutting-edge research has shown that nearly everything that has been written about this dramatic event may be
wrong.
In this new study, Michael Livingston reveals how modern scholars have used archived manuscripts, satellite technologies
and traditional fieldwork to help unlock what was arguably the battle's greatest secret: the location of the now quiet fields
where so many thousands died.
Crécy: Battle of Five Kings is a story of past and present. It is a new history of one of the most important battles of the
Middle Ages: a compelling narrative account of the battle of Crécy that still adheres to the highest scholarly standards in
its detail. It is also an account that incorporates the most cutting-edge revelations and the personal story of how those
discoveries were made.
About the Author
Dr. Michael Livingston teaches the military and cultural history of the Middle Ages at The Citadel, the Military College of
South Carolina. He recently co-authored the textbook reader Medieval Warfare, and future works include books on the
battles of Hastings and Shrewsbury. These add to previous books The Battle of Crécy: A Casebook, winner of the 2017
Distinguished Book Award from the Society for Military History, and Never Greater Slaughter: Brunanburh and the Birth of
England (Osprey, 2021).

At the Gates of Rome: The Fall of the Eternal City, AD 410
Don Hollway
A dramatic retelling of the story of the final years of the Western Roman Empire and thedownfall of Rome itself
from the perspective of the Roman general Stilicho andAlaric, king of the Visigoths.
Description
A dramatic retelling of the story of the final years of the Western Roman Empire and thedownfall of Rome itself from the
perspective of the Roman general Stilicho andAlaric, king of the Visigoths.
It took little more than a single generation for the 800-year-old Roman Empire to fall. In those critical decades, while
Christians and pagans, legions and barbarians, generals and politicians squabbled over dwindling scraps of power, two
men former comrades on the battlefield eventually found themselves on opposite sides in the great game of empire:
Roman general Stilicho and Alaric, king of the Visigoths.
Master storyteller Don Hollwayintroduces us to these titans of the Ancient World. Stilicho was the man charged with the
defending the Western Roman Empire against repeated invasions. No one represented a more potent threat than Alaric.
At the Gates of Rome reveals how Stilicho and Alaric faced off in a series of hard-fought battles. Stilicho bested his rival in
battle but failed to capture the wily Alaric and eventually a truce was declared. Alaric and his men would then serve
honorably in the Roman Army as foederati. But it was a tentative peace ultimately undone by the corruption at the heart of
Rome. Stilicho was executed by his political rivals and the families of Alaric's men slaughtered. Chaos reigned and the
foederati renounced their loyalty to Rome andflocked to Alaric's banner. Betrayed by the empire he had fought to protect,
Alaric would wreak a terrible vengeance, eventually sacking Rome itself.
At the Gates of Rome tells this story through the eyes of the two men who both fought valiantly to prevent Rome's
downfall before one was ultimately forced to abandon its cause. Weaving Ancient Roman, Greek and Byzantine accounts
of Stilicho and Alaric into a single compelling historic epic, this is a sweeping saga of the dying days of Rome.

Hitler's Winter: The German Battle of the Bulge
Anthony Tucker-Jones
Based on new research, Hitler's Winter tells the story of the Battle of the Bulge from the German perspective.
Description
'What a brilliant book this is - a terrific narrative of Hitler's Ardennes offensive of December 1944 superb storytelling that
achieves a skilful balance between drama and detail.' -James Holland
The Battle of the Bulge was the last major German offensive in the West. Launched in the depths of winter to neutralize
the overwhelming Allied air superiority, three German armies attacked through the Ardennes, the weakest part of the
American lines, with the aim of splitting the Allied armies and seizing the vital port of Antwerp within a week. It was a tall
order, as the Panzers had to get across the Our, Amblève, Ourthe and Meuse rivers, and the desperate battle became a
race against time and the elements, which the Germans would eventually lose. But Hitler's dramatic counterattack did
succeed in catching the Allies off guard in what became the largest and bloodiest battle fought by US forces during the
war.
In this book, Anthony Tucker-Jones tells the story of the battle from the German point of view, from the experiences of the
infantrymen and panzer crewmen fighting on the ground in the Ardennes to the operational decisions of senior
commanders such as SS-Oberstgruppenföhrer Josef 'Sepp' Dietrich and General Hasso von Manteuffel that did so much
to decide the fate of the offensive. Drawing on new research, Hitler's Winter provides a fresh perspective on one of the
most famous battles of World War II.
About the Author

Smashing Hitler's Guns: The Rangers at Pointe-du-Hoc, D-Day 1944
Steven J. Zaloga
Written by one of the world's leading experts on D-Day, Smashing Hitler's Guns is a ground-breaking new
history of the legendary Rangers' attack on Pointe-du-Hoc.
Description
Written by one of the world's leading experts on D-Day, Smashing Hitler's Guns is a ground-breaking new history of the
legendary Rangers' attack on Pointe-du-Hoc.
The Ranger attack on the German gun batteries at Pointe-du-Hoc in the early morning hours of D-Day is the stuff of
legend. The gun batteries were strategically positioned between the two American D-Day landing beaches, and were
considered the main threat to the Operation Neptune landings. In spite of the confusion and chaos of the June 6, 1944
mission, the Rangers succeeded in scaling the 100-foot cliffs, but the guns were nowhere to be found. Spreading out in all
directions, a Ranger team managed to find and spike the guns at their hidden location south of Pointe-du-Hoc. For two
days, this small force fought off repeated German attacks, until an American relief force finally arrived on 8 June, by which
time more than half the Rangers were casualties.
The heroic Ranger mission at Pointe-du-Hoc has indeed become a sacred legend, and as a result there are many
unexplored controversies. This new book on this famous raid takes a fresh and comprehensive look at the attack on
Pointe-du-Hoc, examining the creation of the German gun battery, the initial Allied intelligence assessments of the threat,
and the early plans to assault the site. The forgotten Allied bombing attacks on Pointe-du-Hoc are detailed, as well as the
subsequent Allied intelligence investigations of the results. While most accounts of Pointe-du-Hoc are based on the
published US Army history, the author has tracked down the long-forgotten original, unedited report in the archives that
contains a number of curious changes from the better-known and widely accepted version. Little-known interviews of the
Rangers who took part in the mission also shed fresh light and a significant number of German records provide the enemy
perspective of the battle for control of the guns.

Going Downtown: The US Air Force over Vietnam, Laos and
Cambodia, 1961-75
Thomas McKelvey Cleaver
Downtown tells the story of the US Navy's involvement in the the wars in the air over Vietnam, Laos and
Cambodia
Description
The involvement of the US Air Force in the Southeast Asian Wars began in 1962 with crews sent to Vietnam to train
Vietnamese pilots, and with conflict in Laos, and finally ended in 1972 with the B-52 bombing of Hanoi, though there were
Air Force pilots unofficially flying combat in Laos up to the end in 1975.
The missions flown by USAF aircrews during those years in Southeast Asia differed widely, from attacking the Ho Chi
Minh Trail at night with modified T-28 trainers, to missions "Downtown," the name aircrew gave Hanoi, the central target of
the war. All were deadly. Many of these events have only in recent years emerged from the fog of "secret operations" in
which the "secret" was US violation of international law and treaties, such as the continuing involvement in Laos after the
1964 agreement that allegedly neutralized the country, to the massive bombing in Cambodia, a country that was not
involved in the Vietnam War, which led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge and their incredible crimes of mass murder
following the end of US involvement in 1975. One cannot speak of a war in Vietnam regarding US Air Force operations.
The war the Air Force fought was a war in Southeast Asia.
Downtown will integrate the history of all those separate "wars" into a thorough account of an air war that still has many
missing pieces. The book is based on personal accounts by participants on both sides of the war, including accounts of
the "secret" wars that have never been told before.
About the Author
Author Thomas McKelvey Cleaver, a veteran of the war in Vietnam who was a participant in the event known in history as
the "Tonkin Gulf Incident," which led to open US involvement in Southeast Asia, has chronicled the US war in Korea in his
best-selling The Frozen Chosen, Holding the Line and Mig Alley, and has turned to writing similar histories of "his war,"
with The Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club and now Downtown. Many reviewers have commented favorably with his previous books
on his ability to put the reader "in the action" from his experience as a screenwriter and his ability to "take the reader from
the foxhole to the White House" as he places the events in their wider historical context.

Operation Jericho: Freeing the French Resistance from Gestapo jail,
Amiens 1944
Robert Lyman
This is the story of Operation Jericho, the spectacular prison break staged by an elite group of British,
Australian and New Zealand bomber pilots, who flew a daring low-level mission to blow holes in the walls of
Amiens jail and free French Resistance prisoners under the sentence of death during World War II.
Description
This is the story of Operation Jericho, the spectacular prison break staged by an elite group of British, Australian and New
Zealand bomber pilots, who flew a daring low-level mission to blow holes in the walls of Amiens jail and free French
Resistance prisoners under the sentence of death during World War II.
With D-Day looming, early 1944 was a time of massive intelligence activity across northern France, and many résistants
were being captured and imprisoned by the Germans. Among the jails full of French agents was Amiens, where hundreds
awaited likely execution for their activities.
To repay their debt of honour, MI6 requested an air raid with a seemingly impossible brief: to simultaneously blow holes in
the prison walls, free as many men and women as possible while minimizing casualties, and kill German guards in their
quarters. The crews would have to fly their bomb-run at an altitude of just 20ft. Despite the huge difficulties, the RAF
decided that the low-level specialists of No. 140 Wing had a chance of success.
With the aid of first-hand accounts, explanatory 3D diagrams and dramatic original artwork, the eminent historian Robert
Lyman explains how one of the most difficult and spectacular air raids of World War II was pulled off, and debunks some
of the myths over why the raid was ordered in the first place.

The Kamikaze Campaign 1944-45: Imperial Japan's last throw of the
dice
Mark Lardas
An illustrated history of how Japan devised and launched a new kind of air campaign in late 1944 the suicidal
assaults of the kamikaze units against the approaching Allied fleets.
Description
An illustrated history of how Japan devised and launched a new kind of air campaign in late 1944 the suicidal assaults of
the kamikaze units against the approaching Allied fleets.
As summer changed to autumn in 1944, Japan was losing the war. Still unwilling to surrender, Japan's last hope was to
try to wear down US resolve enough to reach a negotiated settlement. Extraordinary measures seemed necessary, and
the most extraordinary was the formation of Special Attack Units known to the Allies as the kamikazes.
The concept of organized suicide squadrons was first raised on June 15, 1944. By August, formations were being trained.
These formations were first used in the October 1944 US invasion of the Philippine Islands, where they offered some
tactical success. The program was expanded into a major campaign over the rest of the Pacific War, seeing a crescendo
during the struggle for Okinawa in April through May 1945.
This highly illustrated history examines not just the horrific missions themselves, but the decisions behind the kamikaze
campaign, how it developed, and how it became a key part of Japanese strategy. Although the attacks started on an
almost ad hoc basis, the kamikaze soon became a major Japanese policy. By the end of the war, Japan was
manufacturing aircraft specifically for kamikaze missions, including a rocket-powered manned missile. A plan for a
massive use of kamikazes to defend the Japanese Home Islands from invasion was developed, but never executed
because of Japan's surrender in August 1945.
Packed with diagrams, maps and 3D reconstructions of the attacks, this book also assesses the Allied mitigation
techniques and strategies and the reasons and the degree to which they were successful.

Description
A study of the Macchi Folgore and Veltro, the most successful Italian fighters in World War II. With specially
commissioned profiles, the book examines how these fighters were conceived, their performance and the fascinating
stories of their pilots.
Italian fighters, such as the Fiat G.50 and Macchi C.200, had always struggled with their straight-line speed and restricted
armament when engaging their Allied counterparts. To solve these problems, Macchi initially designed the C.202 Folgore
using German engines, which contributed to create a faster aircraft, with a superior rate of climb and reachable altitude.
Folgore's success in various North African engagements then paved the way for the development of Macchi's most
successful fighter, the C.205V Veltro, which managed to combine increased speed and increased power. Packed with
specially commissioned artwork and original photos, and written by Italian military aviation specialist Marco Mattioli, this
fascinating book explores how the premier Italian fighter of the war came to life and the historical circumstances that
prevented it from becoming one of the most dreaded aircraft in the Mediterranean.

German and Italian Aircraft Carriers of World War II
Ryan K. Noppen, Douglas C. Dildy
This fully illustrated study details Germany and Italy's failed development of World War II aircraft carriers, and
the naval aviation ships that the two Axis powers sent into action in their place.
Description
This fully illustrated study details Germany and Italy's failed development of World War II aircraft carriers, and the naval
aviation ships that the two Axis powers sent into action in their place.
The quest for a modern aircraft carrier was the ultimate symbol of the Axis powers' challenge to Allied naval might, but
fully-fledged carriers proved either too difficult, expensive or politically unpopular for either to make operational. After the
Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935, Hitler publicly stated his intention to build an aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin,
which was launched in 1938. A year later, the ambitious fleet-expansion Z-Plan, was unveiled with two additional aircraft
carriers earmarked for production . However, by the beginning of World War II, Graf Zeppelin was not yet completed and
work was halted. Further aircraft carrier designs and conversion projects such as the ocean liner Europa and heavy
cruiser Seydlitz were considered but, in January 1943, all construction work on surface vessels ceased and naval
resources were diverted to the U-boat Campaign.
This book explains not only the history of Germany's famous Graf Zeppelin fleet carrier and German carrier conversion
projects but also Italy's belated attempt to convert two of her ocean liners into carriers. It considers the role of naval
aviation in the two countries' rearmament programmes and describes how ultimately it was only Italian seaplane carriers
and German ocean-going, catapult-equipped flying boat carriers that both Axis powers did eventually send into combat.

Barents Sea 1942: The Battle for Russia's Arctic Lifeline
Angus Konstam
A gripping examination of the Battle of the Barents Sea, fought in the near darkness and icy cold of the
northern winter, in which the Kriegsmarine sought to sever the crucial Allied Arctic Convoy route once and
for all.
Description
A gripping examination of the Battle of the Barents Sea, fought in the near darkness and icy cold of the northern winter, in
which the Kriegsmarine sought to sever the crucial Allied Arctic Convoy route once and for all.
The Arctic convoys that passed through the cold, dangerous waters of the Barents Sea formed a vital lifeline a strategic
link in tanks, supplies and above all goodwill between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union. In December 1942, under
Operation Regenbogen (Rainbow), the German Kriegsmarine sought to strike a crippling blow on the Arctic convoys and
finally sever this all-important sea route. In this fascinating work, renowned naval expert Angus Konstam documents the
fate of the Allied Convoy JW 51B as it came under attack from some of the Kriegsmarine's most powerful surface
warships a pocket battleship, a heavy cruiser and six destroyers. Illustrated with stunning battlescene artworks, maps, 3D
diagrams and photographs, it explores the David and Goliath struggle between the Allied ships defending the convoy and
the powerful German force, until the arrival of the two British cruisers tipped the balance of power. The Battle of the
Barents Sea, fought amid snowstorms and the darkness of the Arctic night, would prove to be a turning point in the hard-
fought war in northern waters, and would test Hitler's patience with his surface fleet to the limit.

Siege of Budapest 1944-45: The Brutal Battle for the Pearl of the
Danube
Balazs Mihalyi
A gripping and detailed study of the brutal urban battle for Budapest, which saw German and Hungarian troops
struggling to halt the joint Soviet-Romanian offensive to take the key city on the Danube.
Description
A gripping and detailed study of the brutal urban battle for Budapest, which saw German and Hungarian troops struggling
to halt the joint Soviet-Romanian offensive to take the key city on the Danube.
The 52-day-long siege of Budapest witnessed some of the most destructive urban fighting of the war. The Transdanubia
region was strategically vital to Nazi Germany for its raw materials and industry, and because of the bridgehead it allowed
into Austria. As a result, Hitler declared Budapest a fortress city in early December 1944. The battle for the city pitted
90,000 German and Hungarian troops against 170,000 Soviet (2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts) and Romanian attackers.
The operations to take the city ran across several phases, from the initial Soviet approach to Budapest commencing in
late October 1944, through the encirclement of city first on the Pest side of the Danube, and then on the Buda bank, and
on to the savage urban fighting that began in December 1944 for the Hungarian capital. This superbly detailed work
analyses the background, chronology and consequences of the siege from both a military and political perspective, and
documents the huge losses in military and civilian casualties and material damage.

Italian Colonial Troops 1882-1960
Gabriele Esposito
A complete illustrated study of the varied range of Italian colonial units who served in East and North Africa.
Description
A complete illustrated study of the varied range of Italian colonial units who served in East and North Africa.
Italy only unified as a nation in 1870 and was late, and therefore impatient, in the 'scramble' for Africa. An initial foothold in
Eritrea/Somalia, north-east Africa, led to a disastrous defeat in Ethiopia in 1896 at the Battle of Adwa, but Italian
Somaliland was later consolidated on the west coast of the Red Sea. During 1911, Italy also invaded Libya, securing the
coast, however fighting continued throughout World War I and only ended in the early 1930s. A number of native colonial
regiments were raised in both Italian East Africa and Libya (in the latter, even a pioneering paratroop unit), of which most
fought sturdily for Italy against the Allies in 1940 43. These units had particularly colourful uniforms and insignia. Another
small guard unit also served in the Italian concession at Tientsin, China in 1902 1943. After World War II, a remnant unit
served on in Somalia under a UN mandate until 1960.
This intriguing volume describes and illustrates the dress and equipment used by these forces and details how they were
deployed to maintain a colonial empire for over half a century.

Medieval Indian Armies (1): Hindu, Buddhist and Jain
David Nicolle
This fully illustrated study explores the armies of the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain states within what are now India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal during the period AD 500 1500, as well as Afghanistan until the
early 13th century AD.
Description
This fully illustrated study explores the armies of the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain states within what are now India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal during the period AD 500 1500, as well as Afghanistan until the early 13th century AD.
Following the emergence of a distinct 'medieval Indian' civilization in the Late Classical and Early Medieval periods, there
was a prolonged struggle between this civilization and that of the eastern Islamic world, concluding with the rise of the
Mughal Empire at the start of the 16th century. In this fully illustrated study, David Nicolle investigates the traditions and
enduring conservatism of non-Islamic medieval Indian warfare, notably evident in recruitment patterns and the
significance of archery and cavalry. The role and impact of war-elephants, both positive and negative, are also
considered, as well as the influence of climate and weather (notably the seasonal monsoon) on warfare in this region. As
well as assessing arms and armour contrasting the advanced technology and high status of Indian weapons (especially
swords) with the remarkable lack of metallic armour in the region during this period the author also explores siege warfare
and riverine and naval warfare in South Asia. This book assesses the contributing factors identified by those who have
sought to explain why the huge wealth and substantial populations of the traditional non-Islamic Indian states did not
prevent their persistent failure in the face of Islamic invasion and conquest.

Sniping Rifles in World War I

Description
While Germany and Austria-Hungary were well-equipped with sniping rifles in 1914, their Allied opponents were not. This
highly illustrated volume tells the inside story of the rifles carried by snipers of all the major powers during World War I.
Although military sharpshooting had existed since the 18th century, in 1914 only the German and Austro-Hungarian
armies fielded trained snipers armed with scoped rifles. Thus upon the outbreak of World War I, the Allied armies found
themselves on the receiving end of a shooting war to which they had no means of response. Only the Canadians brought
a dedicated sniping rifle into the trenches, but in small numbers. For the British, although production of a suitable rifle and
scope were settled on quickly, the establishment of sniper training was difficult and its success was mostly due to the
efforts of a handful of dedicated officers. The French eventually introduced a competent scoped rifle and a sniper training
system, as did the Italians. Entering the war in 1917, the Americans experienced rifle shortages but were able to build on
their pre-1914 efforts to find a suitable sniping weapon. The country that suffered most grievously was Russia; Russian
troops fielded no snipers at all and suffered accordingly. Featuring full-colour artwork, carefully chosen archive images
and photographs of the sniping rifles and accessories used in the trenches, this is the inside story of the rifles carried by
snipers of all the major powers during World War I.

The Big Anxiety: Taking Care of Mental Health in Times of Crisis
Jill Bennett
Brings together leading artists, activists and theorists to examine experiences of distress and anxiety in
contemporary society in order to creatively reimagine approaches to care.
Description
This book takes a creative approach in examining one of the biggest crises of our time: that of mental suffering, distress
and anxiety. By bringing together essays and dialogues from thinkers and artists across a range of disciplines, it re-
imagines approaches to crisis, support, and care. Amid growing recognition that mental health is not only the province of
psychiatry and the health sector, but a concern for the whole community, the book opens up critical new ways of thinking
about our internal lives and the forces that affect them.
The book significantly advances the way we think about cultural responses to mental health and the understanding of the
struggles of inner life. Featuring both theoretical and practical examples of the value of using imagination in response to
trauma, anxiety, and depression, The Big Anxiety shows how creativity is not a luxury, but a means of survival.

Alfred Hitchcock: Filmmaker and Philosopher
Mark Roche
An exploration of the genre-changing work of Alfred Hitchcock and its interweaving with philosophical issues
and topics.
Description
Hitchcock was a masterful director, popular with audiences of all ages and critically acclaimed both during and after his
unusually long career. What may have been sensed by many viewers but not fully articulated until now is the extent to
which his works subtly engage philosophical themes: What is evil, and how does it shield and reveal itself? Can we know
what is inside the mind of another person? What is at stake when one knows the truth but cannot speak of it or cannot
persuade others? How is Hitchcock's loving critique of humanity manifested in his films? Why are Hitchcock's works so
often ambiguous? What is the hidden purpose and theory behind his use of humor?
Hitchcock employs cinematic techniques from camera angles and use of light to editing and sound partly to convey
suspense and drama but also to engage and advance philosophical issues, ranging from identity crises to moral ugliness.
Roche unlocks Hitchcock's engagement with philosophical themes, and he does so in a way that appeals to both the
novice and the seasoned philosopher, as well as enthusiastic admirers of Hitchcock's films.

Fashion | Sense: On Philosophy and Fashion
Gwenda-lin Kaur Grewal
A lively exploration of fashion and philosophy arguing that philosophy needs fashion and fashion needs
philosophy.
Description
Fashion | Sense is designed toexplode "fashion," and with it, the stigma in philosophy against fashion's superficiality.
Fashion appears to be altogether differently occupied, disingenuous and insubstantial, even sophistic in its pretense to
peddle surfaces as if they were something deep. But is fashion's apparent beguilement more philosophical than it seems?
And is philosophy's longing for exposed depth concealing fashion in its anti-fashion stance?
Using primarily ancient Greek texts, peppered with allusions to their echoes across the history of philosophy and
contemporary fashion and pop culture, Gwenda-lin Grewal not only examines the rift between fashion and philosophy, but
also challenges the claim that fashion is modern. Indeed, fashion's quarrel with philosophy may be at least as ancient as
that infamous quarrel between philosophy and poetry alluded to in Plato's Republic. And the quest for fashion's origins, as
if a quest for a neutrally-outfitted self, stripped of the self-awareness that comes with thinking, prompts questions about
human agency and our immersion in time. The touch of reality's fabric bristles in our relationship to our looks, not simply
through the structure of clothes but in the plot of our wearing them.
Meanwhile, the fashion of our words sharpens our meaning like a cutting silhouette. Grewal's own writing is playfully and
daringly self-conscious, aware of its style and the entrapment it arouses from the very first line. The reactions provoked by
fashion's flair, not only among the philosophical set but also among those who would never deck themselves out in the
title, "philosopher," show it forth as perhaps philosophy's most important and underestimated doppelganger.

Between Fault Lines and Front Lines: Shifting Power in an Unequal
World
Katja Hujo and Maggie Carter
This book explores the roles of elites and institutions of power play in the deepening of social and economic
cleavages across the globe
Description
Inequality is one of today's greatest challenges, obstructing poverty reduction and sustainable development. As the power
of elites grows and societal gaps widen, institutions representing the public good and universal values are increasingly
disempowered or co-opted, and visions of social justice and equity side-lined.
This book explores the roles of elites and institutions of power in the deepening of social and economic cleavages across
the globe, by asking how inequalities have reshaped structures from the local to the transnational level, and what
consequences they have wrought. In addition, the contributors present examples of peaceful processes of policy change
that have made societies greener and more socially just, levelled out social stratification, and devolved power and
resources from elites to non-elites, or towards marginalized or discriminated groups. Based on cutting-edge empirical
research, the chapters in this volume bring together conceptual thinking and a number of case studies from the Global
North and South, combining different levels of analysis and a range of qualitative research methods to present solutions
for closing the inequality gap.

Disseminating Dress: Britain's Fashion Networks, 1600-1970
Serena Dyer, Jade Halbert and Sophie Littlewood
This book reimagines the evolution of fashion communication and distribution networks to, from, and within
Britain in the pre-digital age.
Description
Fashion travels. Every new shape of sleeve, each novel method of cutting and any innovation in fabric has spread through
complex networks of makers, retailers and consumers. Disseminating Dress represents the first historical study of how
these networks of fashion communication functioned and evolved in an increasingly global material world. Focussing on
Britain separated from mainland Europe, yet increasingly globally-linked this volume will trace how dress was
disseminated in and out of one island nation.
The paths made by print, image and commodities around the globe have enabled historians to reimagine a connected
material world. The influence of innovations in dissemination shape this volume, which asks urgent questions about the
extent of global influence on fashion, and the intertwining nature of written, printed, visual and material fashion news. This
collection brings together innovative scholarship from an interdisciplinary group of historians, art historians and fashion
scholars to consider how global and local networks of dress dissemination converged to shape fashionable dress in
Britain, and how British methods and aesthetics spread outwards across the world. From the drawing rooms of 19th-
century London, to the verandas of 19th-century Australia, contributors to Disseminating Dress develop narratives of
commodity and knowledge exchange to consider how fashion circulated.

Latin Blackness in Parisian Visual Culture, 1852-1932
Lyneise E. Williams
This books looks at the ways in which ideas about Blackness and Latin Americanness were wedded together
in popular Parisian images between 1855 and 1930.
Description
Latin Blackness in Parisian Visual Culture, 1852-1932 examines an understudied visual language used to portray Latin
Americans in mid-19th to early 20th-century Parisian popular visual media. It charts how the term "Latinize" was
introduced to connect France's early 19th-century endeavors to create Latin America an expansion of the French empire
into the Latin-language speaking Spanish and Portuguese Americas to its perception of the people who lived there.
Elites who traveled to Paris from their newly independent nations in the 1840s were denigrated in visual media, rather
than depicted as equals in a developing global economy. Darkened skin, brushed onto images of Latin Americans of
European descent, mitigated their ability to claim the privileges of their ancestral heritage; whitened skin, among other
codes, imposed on depictions of Black Latin Americans denied their Blackness and rendered them relatively assimilatable
compared to colonial Africans, Black people from the Caribbean, and African Americans.
In addition to identifying 19th-century Latinizing codes, this book focuses on shifts in latinizing visuality between 1890 and
1933 through three case studies: the depictions of popular Cuban circus entertainer Chocolat; representations of
Panamanian World Bantamweight Champion boxer Alfonso Teofilo Brown; and paintings of Black Uruguayans created by
Pedro Figari, a Uruguayan artist, during his residence in Paris between 1925 and 1933.

Unica Zurn: Art, Writing and Post-War Surrealism
Esra Plumer
The first English-language book on the life and work of Unica Zörn, a prolific writer and graphic artist who
produced a wealth of material while in psychiatric institutions across Germany and France.
Description
Diagnosed with schizophrenia in the 1950s, writer and artist Unica Zörn produced a wealth of remarkable textual and
visual material while in psychiatric institutions across Germany and France. While Zörn is often discussed in relation to
her partner, the controversial artist Hans Bellmer, this innovative book moves beyond the familiar model of the overlooked
'woman behind the man' and re-introduces her as a member of the French Surrealist group.
In the first text on Unica Zörn in English, Esra Plumer presents Zörn's life and work in light of the artist's individual
experiences of the Second World War, post-war Surrealism and mental illness, at the same time revealing wider aspects
of her artistic practice in relation to her contemporaries. Plumer also reveals how the techniques of anagrams and
automatism (writing and drawing methods designed to unlock the subconscious mind) form the pillars of Zörn's artistic
creative output, which carry her work into the wider theoretical circles of psychoanalytic theory and post-structuralist
thought.
About the Author
Esra Plumer completed her PhD at the University of Nottingham, UK, on the work of Unica Zörn and her development of
the technique of automatism as an artistic strategy. Dr Plumer is the leading expert on the artistic work of Zörn with an
extensive background in the history of psychoanalysis and psychiatric treatment methods. She has taught at the
University of Nottingham, the European University of Lefke and The Courtauld Institute of Art.

Ellen Emmet Rand: Gender, Art, and Business
Alexis L. Boylan
This collection critically considers the career of Ellen Emmet Rand (1875-1941), one of the most important and
prolific portrait painters in the United States in the first decades of the twentieth century and reimagines
dialogues about women, art, business, and modernism.
Description
Ellen Emmet Rand (1875-1941) was one of the most important and prolific portraitists in the United States in the first
decades of the twentieth century. She negotiated her career, reputation, family, and finances in modern and commercially
savvy ways revealing the complex negotiations needed to balance these competing pressures. Engaging with newly
available archival documents and featuring scholars with radically different approaches to visual culture, this edited
collection not only seeks to interrogate the meaning of Rand's portraits and her career, but indeed to rethink gender, art,
race, business, and modernism in the twentieth century.

Participation in Art and Architecture: Spaces of Interaction and
Occupation
Martino Stierli and Mechtild Widrich
Using broad-ranging case studies, this book responds to contemporary debates about participatory art and
architecture, unravelling the dynamics between art and society, and control and social justice.
Description
If participation has been an ideal in politics since ancient democracy, in art it became central only with the avant-gardes
emerging from WWI and the Russian Revolution. Politics and aesthetics are still catching up with each other. In the 21st
century, since the revolutionary unrest of the 1960s, participation in art and architecture has lost its utopian glow and
become the focus of a fierce debate: does 'participatory' art and architecture shape social reality, or is it shaped by it?
Contemporary critics see in participation only technocratic control, while others embrace it as a viable politics in an era of
global capitalism. This innovative book breaks the impasse by looking at how participants themselves exert power, rather
than being victimized or liberated from it. From artists hijacking Google Earth to protesters setting up a museum of the
revolution in Cairo, art, architecture and daily life are explored in their participatory dimension.

The Crucible
Arthur Miller
The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan
community of Salem in 1692. This Methuen Drama Student Edition features commentary and notes by
Soyica Diggs Colbert.
Description
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not
worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my
name!
In a small tight-knit community, gossip and rumour spread like wildfire, inflaming personal grievances until no-one is safe
from accusation and vengeance.
The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of
Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the
1950s, the play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the play opened on Broadway in 1953.

Death of a Salesman
Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman is Arthur Miller's tragic masterpiece about a travelling salesman whose professional
identity and thereby entire sense of self is in crisis. This Methuen Drama Student Edition features
commentary and notes by Claire Conceison.
Description
Why am I trying to become what I don't want to be - when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know
who I am.
Willy Loman is an ageing travelling salesman haunted, driven and yet held back by empty dreams of prosperity and
success. Justly celebrated as one of the most famous dramatisations of the failure of the American Dream, the play's
moral and political purpose is perfectly counterbalanced by a powerful and moving human drama of a man trying to make
his way in the world and of the human flaws that lead to the shattering of his family and of their figurehead.
Death of a Salesman is Miller's tragic masterpiece and considered one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century.
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1949, the play remains a classic work of literature and drama that is studied and performed
around the world.
This new edition includes an introduction by Claire Conceison that explores the play's production history as well as the
dramatic, thematic, and academic debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student exploring Death of a
Salesman.

A View from the Bridge
Arthur Miller
A View from the Bridge is one of Arthur Miller's finest plays - a personal drama in which a longshoreman
violates the moral and cultural codes of his community. This Methuen Drama Student Edition features
commentary and notes by Julie Vatain-Corfdir.
Description
The law is nature. The law is only a word for what has a right to happen. When the law is wrong it's because it's unnatural,
but in this case it is natural and a river will drown you if you buck it now. Let her go. And bless her.
Set among Italian-Americans on the Brooklyn waterfront, A View from the Bridge is the story of longshoreman Eddie
Carbone. When his wife's cousins arrive as illegal immigrants from Italy, he is honoured to take them into his house. But
when his niece begins to fall in love with one of them, Eddie grows increasingly suspicious, eventually precipitating his
violation of the moral and cultural codes of his community and leading to the play's tragic finale.
With its examination of the themes of sexuality, responsibility, betrayal and vengeance, A View from the Bridge is Miller at
his best and a modern classic.
This new edition includes an introduction by Julie Vatain-Corfdir that explores the play's production history as well as the
dramatic, thematic, and academic debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student exploring A View from
the Bridge.

notes by Joshua Polster, Emerson College.
Description
Jew is only the name we give to that stranger. Each man has his Jew; it is the other. And the Jews have their Jews.
Arthur Miller's largely forgotten masterpiece, Incident at Vichy is a prescient examination of the evil that exists in us all,
inspired by a real-life incident in France in which a Gentile gave a Jew his identity pass during a check, which would have

This Methuen Drama Student Edition of the play includes commentary and notes by Joshua Polster, Emerson College,
US, which investigate the politics of the play in the context of the African-American civil rights movement happening at the
time; the Vietnam War; The House Committee on Un-American Activities; and the murder of Kitty Genovese, as well as

Mother Courage and her Children
Bertolt Brecht, translated by John Willet
A succinct, up-to-date and engaging study of Brecht's epic play about war and capitalism with commentary and
notes by Katherine Hollander.
Description
This new Student Edition, featuring the classic John Willett translation of the play, includes an introduction by Katherine
Hollander, which explores the following:
* Contexts (Thirty Years War, 1618-1648; World War II and exile; sources; influential figures such as Brecht, Margarete
Steffin, Helene Weigel and Karin Michaelis)
* Themes (war; nature; capitalism)
* Dramatic devices (epic theatre)
* Production history and critical reception
* Academic debate (Marxist, feminist and postmodernist)
* Further study
Widely regarded as Brecht's best work, Mother Courage and her Children was written in 1938-9 and received its premiere
in Zurich in 1941. Mother Courage - a canteen woman serving with the Swedish Army during the Thirty Years War (1618
-48) - follows the armies, selling provisions and liquor to the troops. Both her sons die in the war and her dumb daughter,
Kattrin, is mortally wounded as she beats a drum to warn the town of Halle of an impending attack. Yet, all the while,
Mother Courage continues her travels with her wagon, indomitably businesslike, calculating how she can make material
profit from the war and turn conflict into capital.
About the Author
Bertolt Brecht was born in Augsburg on 10 February 1898 and died in Berlin on 14 August 1956. His plays include Man
Equals Man, The Threepenny Opera,The Mother, Life of Galileo, Mother Courage and her Children and The Caucasian
Chalk Circle. He founded the Berliner Ensemble in 1947 and, from then until his death, was mainly occupied in producing
his own plays.
John Willett (1917-2002) was a British translator and scholar who is remembered for translating the work of Bertolt Brecht
into English, having become a friend of Brecht's after World War II. Over his career, he acted as a freelancer writer, editor,
translator and director, as well as a visiting professor and lecturer.

A History of the Messianic Idea in Sunni Islam
Yohanan Friedmann
A fascinating, in-depth exploration of the messianic idea in Sunni Islam through four major movements from
different times and places
Description
Expectation of a redeemer is a widespread phenomenon across many civilizations. Classical Islamic traditions maintain
that the mahdi will transform our world by making Islam the sole religion, and that he will do so in collaboration with Jesus,
who will return as a Muslim and play a major role in this apocalyptic endeavour.
While the messianic idea has been most often discussed in relation to Shi'i Islam, it is highly important in the Sunni branch
as well. In this groundbreaking work, Yohanan Friedmann explores its roots in Sunni Islam, and studies four major mahdi
claimants Ibn Tumart, Sayyid Muhammad Jawnpuri, Muhammad Ahmad and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who made a
considerable impact in the regions where they emerged. Focusing on their religious thought, and relating it to classical
Muslim ideas on the apocalypse, he examines their movements and considers their achievements, failures and legacies.

Adlard Coles Shore Guide: Channel Coast of France: Everything you
need to know when you step ashore
Paul Heiney
Plan the perfect cruise with Adlard Coles Shore Guide to the Channel Coast of France, and make the most of
every minute of your time ashore.
Description
Sailors planning a cruise abroad use a pilot book, which gives you all the navigational advice to get you to your
destination. Once you've closed the pilot book, this book will help you enjoy all that your destination has to offer. What can
you discover within walking distance of the port? Where can you find fuel, laundry and food supplies? The main reason for
going on a cruise in the first place is to explore new and lovely places. Sailors won't decide to stop at a port because of an
interesting pilotage challenge, but you will for an amazing moules frites place hidden away. General guidebooks won't tell
you everything you need to know, and will include a lot of info on places you can't reach. Adlard Coles Shore Guides
provide the essential information and ideas to make the most of your time ashore.
Paul Heiney, a hugely experienced sailor, journalist and author, is the perfect companion for exploring the pretty harbours
and beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast of France. The book is lavishly illustrated with the author's own photos of this
alluring coastline's bustling ports and hidden gems.
Chapters arranged by region and port will detail why each place is worth visiting, what to see, where to find essentials
such as fuel and repairs, transport connections, places to visit, best cafes and restaurants, walks (sailors need to stretch
their legs when they go ashore), bike rides, best beaches and activities for the kids, all organised into categories by
distance from the port or harbour 10 minutes' walk, 30 minutes' walk and further afield.
About the Author
Paul Heiney is a well known writer and broadcaster with seafaring in his blood. His family, originally from Yorkshire, were
beach fishermen and lifeboatmen. He has sailed enthusiastically for many years, including many singlehanded passages.
He is the author of One Wild Song, Farewell Mr Puffin and Ocean Sailing, all published by Adlard Coles. Paul is currently

My Sand Life, My Pebble Life: A memoir of a childhood and the sea
Ian McMillan
A heartwarming and saltwater-infused collection of reminiscences from celebrated poet and broadcaster Ian
McMillan.
Description
My Sand Life, My Pebble Life is a new book focusing on one of poet Ian McMillan's great loves the sea and the places
and memories that have shaped who he is today.
Comprised of a series of perfectly crafted, evocative, funny and nostalgic essays, Ian revisits the coastal places that
stamped themselves on his childhood: Cleethorpes, where a bird once landed on the seat next to him as the miniature
railway chugged along, California in Suffolk where his Auntie accidentally put her hand through the window of a caravan
and bled spectacularly, Minehead in Somerset where his dad kept stalling the car and the family limped across the map
and took all day to get avery short distance, Broadford on the Isle of Skye where midges descended on Ian like an
apocalyptic umbrella.
This book will transport you from your everyday life to a coast rich in memories of childhood and times spent by the sea.

camper van, motorhome, bike, kayak, SUP and on foot around the mountains, valleys and coastlines of
England and Wales.
Description
England and Wales might feel familiar to many, but there are countless hidden idylls and remote wildernesses to discover
amongst the soaring passes, spectacular coastlines and boundless moorlands. For many, Martin's 'slow road' routes will
have opened up the country's most well known highways and byways, but there is so much more to England and Wales
than these, at times overcrowded, hotspots.

appetite for a Great British adventure, this book will be the main course, filling you up with inspiring writing and beautiful
imagery from the most remote and wild corners of England and Wales. It will take you to the very edges of the map, on a
series of personal journeys to uncover parts of these countries that the masses never reach but wish they could.
In discovering these secret and beautiful places this fabulous book shows the reader that, with a little imagination, and
some effort, they too can get off the beaten track in their own country.

About Britain: A Journey of Seventy Years and 1,345 Miles
Tim Cole
A captivating glimpse of Britain then and now, seen from behind the steering wheel
Description
In 1951, the Festival of Britain published a series of short guides that they dubbed 'handbooks for the explorer'. Their aim
was to get people on 'the roads and the by-roads' to see Britain as a 'living country'. Armed with these guidebooks,
historian Tim Cole takes to the roads again to find out what looks the same and what looks different from that moment
when Britain's growing car-owning population set out in 1951. In a starkly different era - the 2020s - where travel has been
transformed by COVID-19, and many are looking to journey closer to home, About Britain is a timely meditation on our
changing relationship with the landscape, with motor vehicles and with each other.
The book is structured around twelve of the original itineraries, taking in all corners of the UK: from Oban to Caernarvon to
Canterbury. Revisiting these places a lifetime (70 years) after the original 'sensible explorers' provides a chance to ask
what has changed and what remains the same what now grows in the hedgerows along our British roads and which
industries dominate the towns along the way? Which places have fared better during the last century, and which have
fared worse?
Sustainability, industry, travel, nature, motoring all of these things are considered as Tim follows the Festival of Britain's
original routes. Published with stunning maps and photographs, About Britain is a delightfully written and wonderfully retro
look at our unique British culture and heritage, packaged to recall the guides as they first appeared.
About the Author
Professor Tim Cole is Professor of Social History at Bristol University and Director of the Brigstow Institute, which brings
researchers together across the university to work with those outside exploring what it means to be human in the twenty-
first century.
When not journeying through the landscape and along the highways of Britain, Tim is a lecturer and expert historian of the
Holocaust, with an interest in geography and place.

The Power of Reconciliation
Justin Welby
The Power of Reconciliation will come to be seen as Archbishop Welby's most important book to date.
Description
The Power of Reconciliation will come to be seen as Archbishop Welby's most important book to date.
Welby writes about Reconciliation as seeking to disagree well. It relates to both religious and secular communities, from
the household to the international. Conflict is widespread. With the after-effects of Covid, changes in science and
technology, inequality, and increasingly polarized political and social strife, moves towards reconciliation are more
necessary than ever.
Both before ordination and since Welby has seen conflict first-hand. He has spent many years working on issues of
conflict around the world.
The book is full of practical advice for all those in authority on how to bring about reconciliation. There is even a step-by-
step guide for this, drawn from the author's own experience.
The book is thus down-to-earth, plugged into reality and devoid of pointless optimism or a Pollyannaish view of our
contemporary problems.
Furthermore, there is the dignity of difference. Today there is so much intolerance of views that are other than our own as
we demonize those we do not agree with.
This revolutionary book is published in the first place for the 2022 Lambeth Conference in July, when bishops from all
around the world assemble in Canterbury. But its importance goes far beyond these confines, which will nonetheless be
widely reported in the media and the press. The author deals with conflict and reconciliation within families, businesses,
warfare between nations, races and all forms of political conflict. The book concerns the secular sphere every bit as much
as the religious, though Welby's message is Christian inspired, and the influence of Desmond Tutu strongly felt.
About the Author
The Most Reverend Justin Welby is the present Archbishop of Canterbury and thus senior Bishop of the Anglican
Communion throughout the world. He was formerly Bishop of Durham. He spent a number of years working full-time on
reconciliation, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. He is an honorary fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
This is his third book for Bloomsbury Continuum.

Saltmarsh
Clive Chatters
A celebration of British saltmarshes their character, diversity, wildlife and relationship with people.
Description
"Saltmarshes are often remote, inhospitable places, neither land nor sea, as hard to pin down as they are to navigate. In
this saline odyssey, Clive Chatters has explored his favourite creeks, pools and mudflats to bring us an absorbing
celebration of the ecology, biology, geology and history of this scarce and mysterious habitat. There are Tadpole Shrimps,
and rare sedges, waders and Wild Celery even inland saltmarshes in this tour de force by a superb naturalist and writer."
BRETT WESTWOOD, naturalist, author and radio presenter
Saltmarshes are among Britain's most diverse and dynamic landscapes. They abound around our shores but may also be
found inland and at altitude wherever water, salt and vegetation combine. The species they support range from extreme
rarities of specialised habitats to the less demanding denizens of coastal wetlands. Here is a landscape of international
importance for migratory birds, endemic plants and an exceptional variety of invertebrates.
Clive Chatters has a lifetime's affinity with saltmarshes. In this fifth volume of the British Wildlife Collection, he celebrates
their natural history and diversity, from the highly distinctive marshes in the Scottish Highlands to the urban remnants of
the Thames estuary now engulfed within the capital. By examining the past of these complex habitats, we can gain an
insight into how they have developed, and an understanding of their relationship with people. In addition to their
exceptionally diverse natural history, saltmarshes are sources of food and medicine, they play a pivotal role in flood
defence and carbon sequestration, and have inspired artistic endeavour.
About the Author
Clive Chatters is a naturalist who has worked for over 35 years as a nature conservationist in the counties adjoining the
Solent. He has held positions in both the statutory and voluntary conservation sectors, taking time off to assist in
establishing the New Forest National Park. Author of a variety of publications from scientific reports to magazine articles,
he has also written several books including Flowers of the Forest, an exploration of the botany of the New Forest through
its history and rural economy,and Wild Hampshire and Isle of Wight, to commemorate the golden jubilee of the Hampshire

Pictures from Italy
Charles Dickens
Abounding in colour and humour, and interspersed with unforgettable set pieces, Pictures from Italy is yet
another proof of Charles Dickens's genius and versatility. A great addition to Alma Charles Dickens
collection of popular novels.
Description
In the summer of 1844, taking a break from novel-writing, the thirty-two-year-old Charles Dickens embarked on a long tour
of Italy with his wife, his five children and his young sister-in-law. Struck by the scenery and the rapid diorama of
monuments and novelties around him, the celebrated author of Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol captured his
experiences and impressions in vivid detail. The result is a travelogue like no other, written by one of the finest writers of
all time.
Abounding in colour and humour, and interspersed with unforgettable set pieces, such as an eyewitness account of the
beheading of a robber in Rome and a hilarious description of a tour guide's ruinous tumble down the slope of Mount
Vesuvius, Pictures from Italy is further proof of Charles Dickens's genius and versatility.
About the Author
A literary phenomenon in his lifetime and renowned as much for his journalism and public speaking as for his novels,
Charles Dickens (1812 70) now ranks as the most important Victorian writer and one of the most influential and popular
authors in the English language. His memorable and vividly rendered characters and his combination of humour,
trenchant satire and compassion have left an indelible mark on our collective imagination.

The Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis
Ugo Foscolo
A unique edition of a masterly prose work by one of Italy's most celebrated poets, and perhaps the greatest
Italian novel of the Romantic movement.
Description
Saddened with his country's loss of freedom, disillusioned with life and racked with loneliness and ennui, university
student Jacopo Ortis can only find some comfort in the company of his friends and in his love for Teresa. But when his
studies call him back to Padua and he is separated from her, Jacopo's torments become unbearable, and he feels that
there is only one way out of his misery a symbolic gesture against fate, God and all the tyrants of this world.
Allegedly based on the real-life tragic story of the Italian student Girolamo Ortis, and suffused with the author's own
autobiographical experiences, The Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis is a masterly prose work by one of Italy's most celebrated
poets, and perhaps the greatest Italian novel of the Romantic movement.
About the Author
Ugo Foscolo (1778 1827) is one of the most popular and studied Italian poets. He is most famous for his long poem 'On
Sepulchres', and his unfinished work The Graces. After a life of wanderings, he ended up in London, where he spent the
last eleven years of his life mixing with high society and the greatest writers of the day, including Lord Byron. He died in
poverty in Turnham Green, now part of London, and his tomb can still be seen in the Chiswick Old Cemetery.

The Matter of Everything: Twelve Experiments that Changed Our
Worldrld
Suzie Sheehy
Accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy tells the story of twentieth century physics through its twelve foundational
experiments
Description
The astonishing story of twentieth-century physics, told through the twelve experiments that changed our world
'A splendid idea, vividly carried out: I enjoyed this book enormously'
PHILIP PULLMAN
'The perfect bedside book for anyone who wants to ponder the remarkable achievements of physics'
ROBIN INCE
'Fascinating and highly readable . . . An all-action thriller, laced with some of the most profound ideas humans have ever
had'
BRIAN ENO
'A magical tour of the great experiments defining the most incredible century in physics'
ANDREW STEELE
-----------
How did a piece a gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms?
What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays?
How did the experiments in the run-up to the Large Hadron Collider lead to the invention of the World Wide Web?
Asking questions has always been at the heart of physics, our unending quest to understand the Universe and how
everything in it behaves. How do we know all that we know about the world today? It's not simply because we have the
maths it's because we have done the experiments.
In The Matter of Everything, accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the people who, through a combination
of genius, persistence and luck, staged the ground-breaking experiments of the twentieth century that changed the course
of history. From the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory, to the scientists trying to prove Einstein
wrong (and inadvertently proving him right), to the race to split open the atom, Sheehy shows how our most brilliant,
practical physicists have shaped innumerable aspects of how we live today. Radio, TV, the chips in our smartphones, MRI
scanners, radar equipment and microwaves, to name a few: these were all made possible by their determination to
understand, and control, the microscopic.
Pulling physics down from the theoretical and putting it in the hands of the people, The Matter of Everything is a

From the acclaimed writer of The End of the World is a Cul de Sac comes an astonishing debut novel about

One by one, she undid each event, each decision, each choice.
If Davy had remembered to put on a coat.
If Seamie McGeown had not found himself alone on a dark street.
If Michael Agnew had not walked through the door of the pub on a quiet night in February in his white shirt.
There is nothing special about the day Cushla meets Michael, a married man from Belfast, in the pub owned by her
family. But here, love is never far from violence, and this encounter will change both of their lives forever.
As people get up each morning and go to work, school, church or the pub, the daily news rolls in of another car bomb
exploded, another man beaten, killed or left for dead. In the class Cushla teaches, the vocabulary of seven-year-old
children now includes phrases like 'petrol bomb' and 'rubber bullets'. And as she is forced to tread lines she never thought
she would cross, tensions in the town are escalating, threatening to destroy all she is working to hold together.
Tender and shocking, Trespasses is an unforgettable debut of people trying to live ordinary lives in extraordinary times.

________________________________________________________________
Wythenshawe, South Manchester. 1985.
The Dodds family once ruled Manchester's underworld; now the men are dead, leaving three generations of women
trapped in a house haunted by violence, harbouring an unregistered baby.
Matriarch Nedra presides over the household, which bustles with activity as she prepares the welcome feast for her
grandson Kelly's return from prison.
Her grieving daughter-in-law Carol is visited by both the welcome, intimate ghost of her murdered lover, and by Mac, an
ageing criminal enforcer, a man who may just offer her a real and possible future.
And then there is Jan the teenage tearaway running as fast as she can from her mother, her grandmother, and her own
unnamed baby.
Over the course of a few days, the Dodds women must each confront the true legacy of the men who have defined their
lives; and seize the opportunity to break the cycle for good.
A blistering portrait of a family on fire, Oxblood lays bare the horror of violence, the exile of grief, and the extraordinary
power of love.

A Spectre, Haunting: On the Communist Manifesto
China Mieveille
China Miéville's reading of the modern world's most controversial and enduring political document: the
Communist Manifesto.
Description
China Miéville's brilliant reading of the modern world's most controversial and enduring political document: The
Communist Manifesto.
'Read this and be dazzled by its contemporaneity' Mike Davis
'A rich, luminous reflection of and on a light that never quite goes out' Andreas Malm
'Reading with (Miéville) today sharpens our senses to contemporary internationalist movements from below' Ruth Wilson
Gilmore
'(Written) with diligence and a ruthlessly critical eye worthy of Marx himself' Sarah Jaffe
'It's thrilling to accompany Miéville... as he wrestles in critical good faith and incandescent commitment with a manifesto
that still calls on us to build a new world' Naomi Klein
In 1848, a strange political tract was published by two German émigrés. Marx and Engles's apocalyptic vision of an
insatiable system, which penetrates every corner of the globe, reduces every relationship to that of profit, and bursts
asunder the old forms of production and of politics, remains a picture of our world. And the vampiric energy of that system
is once again highly contentious. The Manifesto shows no sign of fading into antiquarian obscurity, and remains a key
touchstone for modern political debate.
China Miéville is not a writer hemmed in by conventions of disciplinary boundaries or genre, and this is a strikingly
imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today. Like the Manifesto itself, this is a book
haunted by ghosts, sorcery and creative destruction.
About the Author
China Miéville has received numerous awards for his writing, including the Arthur C. Clarke Award (three times), the
British Fantasy Award (twice), and the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (four times). His novels include Perdido Street
Station, King Rat, Un Lun Dun, The City & The City, Railsea and The Last Days of New Paris. He has also written a
narrative history of the Bolshevik Revolution, October.

From bestselling crime novelist and renowned Irish TV journalist Sinéad Crowley, gripping dual timelines entwine in this
heart-stopping story of old secrets and forbidden passion.
An old house can hold many secrets. Hollowpark in the west of Ireland certainly does. At the heart of the gardens is an
intricate maze, named after a deadly poison, Belladonna. If you know the way through, it's magical, a hiding place and
playground like no other. If you don't, it's a place of fear and sinister riddles, where a young girl once went missing and
was never seen again.
Grace comes to Hollowpark as a nanny for young Skye FitzMahon. Soon the mysterious past of Hollowpark has seduced
her. Who is the woman she sometimes glimpses in an upstairs window? Or the apparition who keeps showing up
unexpectedly, pleading, 'Find me'. And how can she fight her growing attraction to Skye's father?

In this world, two souls inhabit a single body, one by day, one by night. But though they live alongside one another, their
ends do not always align. For Special Inspector Morden, whose hunt for a dangerous witch takes him far from home, this
will be a problem...
Christophor Morden lives by night. His day-brother, Alexsander, knows only the sun. They are two souls in a single body,
in a world where identities change with the rising and setting of the sun. Night-brother or day-sister, one never sees the
light, the other knows nothing of the night.
Early one evening, Christophor is roused by a call to the city prison. A prisoner has torn his eyes out and cannot say why.
Yet worse: in the sockets that once held his eyes, teeth are growing. The police suspect the supernatural, so Christophor,
a member of the king's special inspectorate, is charged with finding the witch responsible.
Night-by-night, Christophor's investigation leads him ever further from home, toward a backwards village on the far edge
of the kingdom. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more his day-brother's actions frustrate him. Who is Alexsander
protecting? What does he not want Christophor to discover?
And all the while, an ancient and apocalyptic ritual creeps closer to completion...

Crickonomics: The Anatomy of Modern Cricket
Stefan Szymanski, Tim Wigmore
Crickonomics answers those questions you have about the sport, and many more that you haven't: you'll be
delighted to know all the answers. Just as the bestselling Soccernomics did for football, this book will take a
rational look at the game of cricket, past and present, and combine the expertise of an award winning
cricket journalist with a leading sports economist, to provide startling insight and clear-headed analysis.
Description
"Fascinating" The Observer
"Illuminating" The Times
"Crickonomics is packed with sufficient statistical analysis to have the most ardent cricket geek purring with pleasure" Mail
on Sunday
"An insightful, Hawk-Eye-like analysis of the numbers behind cricket" Financial Times
An engaging tour of the modern game from an award-winning journalist and the economist who co-authored the
bestselling Soccernomics.
Why does England rely on private schools for their batters but not their bowlers? How did demographics shape India's
rise? Why have women often been the game's great innovators? Why does South Africa struggle to produce Black Test
batters? And how does the weather impact who wins?
Crickonomics explores all of this and much more including how Jayasuriya and Gilchrist transformed Test batting but T20
didn't; English cricket's great missed opportunity to have a league structure like football; why batters are paid more than
bowlers; how Afghanistan is transforming German cricket; what the rest of the world can learn from New Zealand and
even the Barmy Army's importance to Test cricket.
This incisive book will entertain and surprise all cricket lovers. It might even change how you watch the game.

The Big Anxiety: Taking Care of Mental Health in Times of Crisis
Jill Bennett
Brings together leading artists, activists and theorists to examine experiences of distress and anxiety in
contemporary society in order to creatively reimagine approaches to care.
Description
This book takes a creative approach in examining one of the biggest crises of our time: that of mental suffering, distress
and anxiety. By bringing together essays and dialogues from thinkers and artists across a range of disciplines, it re-
imagines approaches to crisis, support, and care. Amid growing recognition that mental health is not only the province of
psychiatry and the health sector, but a concern for the whole community, the book opens up critical new ways of thinking
about our internal lives and the forces that affect them.
The book significantly advances the way we think about cultural responses to mental health and the understanding of the
struggles of inner life. Featuring both theoretical and practical examples of the value of using imagination in response to
trauma, anxiety, and depression, The Big Anxiety shows how creativity is not a luxury, but a means of survival.

Between Fault Lines and Front Lines: Shifting Power in an Unequal
World
Katja Hujo and Maggie Carter
This book explores the roles of elites and institutions of power play in the deepening of social and economic
cleavages across the globe
Description
Inequality is one of today's greatest challenges, obstructing poverty reduction and sustainable development. As the power
of elites grows and societal gaps widen, institutions representing the public good and universal values are increasingly
disempowered or co-opted, and visions of social justice and equity side-lined.
This book explores the roles of elites and institutions of power in the deepening of social and economic cleavages across
the globe, by asking how inequalities have reshaped structures from the local to the transnational level, and what
consequences they have wrought. In addition, the contributors present examples of peaceful processes of policy change
that have made societies greener and more socially just, levelled out social stratification, and devolved power and
resources from elites to non-elites, or towards marginalized or discriminated groups. Based on cutting-edge empirical
research, the chapters in this volume bring together conceptual thinking and a number of case studies from the Global
North and South, combining different levels of analysis and a range of qualitative research methods to present solutions
for closing the inequality gap.

Fashion | Sense: On Philosophy and Fashion
Gwenda-lin Kaur Grewal
A lively exploration of fashion and philosophy arguing that philosophy needs fashion and fashion needs
philosophy.
Description
Fashion | Sense is designed toexplode "fashion," and with it, the stigma in philosophy against fashion's superficiality.
Fashion appears to be altogether differently occupied, disingenuous and insubstantial, even sophistic in its pretense to
peddle surfaces as if they were something deep. But is fashion's apparent beguilement more philosophical than it seems?
And is philosophy's longing for exposed depth concealing fashion in its anti-fashion stance?
Using primarily ancient Greek texts, peppered with allusions to their echoes across the history of philosophy and
contemporary fashion and pop culture, Gwenda-lin Grewal not only examines the rift between fashion and philosophy, but
also challenges the claim that fashion is modern. Indeed, fashion's quarrel with philosophy may be at least as ancient as
that infamous quarrel between philosophy and poetry alluded to in Plato's Republic. And the quest for fashion's origins, as
if a quest for a neutrally-outfitted self, stripped of the self-awareness that comes with thinking, prompts questions about
human agency and our immersion in time. The touch of reality's fabric bristles in our relationship to our looks, not simply
through the structure of clothes but in the plot of our wearing them.
Meanwhile, the fashion of our words sharpens our meaning like a cutting silhouette. Grewal's own writing is playfully and
daringly self-conscious, aware of its style and the entrapment it arouses from the very first line. The reactions provoked by
fashion's flair, not only among the philosophical set but also among those who would never deck themselves out in the
title, "philosopher," show it forth as perhaps philosophy's most important and underestimated doppelganger.

Disseminating Dress: Britain's Fashion Networks, 1600-1970
Serena Dyer, Jade Halbert and Sophie Littlewood
This book reimagines the evolution of fashion communication and distribution networks to, from, and within
Britain in the pre-digital age.
Description
Fashion travels. Every new shape of sleeve, each novel method of cutting and any innovation in fabric has spread through
complex networks of makers, retailers and consumers. Disseminating Dress represents the first historical study of how
these networks of fashion communication functioned and evolved in an increasingly global material world. Focussing on
Britain separated from mainland Europe, yet increasingly globally-linked this volume will trace how dress was
disseminated in and out of one island nation.
The paths made by print, image and commodities around the globe have enabled historians to reimagine a connected
material world. The influence of innovations in dissemination shape this volume, which asks urgent questions about the
extent of global influence on fashion, and the intertwining nature of written, printed, visual and material fashion news. This
collection brings together innovative scholarship from an interdisciplinary group of historians, art historians and fashion
scholars to consider how global and local networks of dress dissemination converged to shape fashionable dress in
Britain, and how British methods and aesthetics spread outwards across the world. From the drawing rooms of 19th-
century London, to the verandas of 19th-century Australia, contributors to Disseminating Dress develop narratives of
commodity and knowledge exchange to consider how fashion circulated.

Alfred Hitchcock: Filmmaker and Philosopher
Mark William Roche
An exploration of the genre-changing work of Alfred Hitchcock and its interweaving with philosophical issues
and topics.
Description
Hitchcock was a masterful director, popular with audiences of all ages and critically acclaimed both during and after his
unusually long career. What may have been sensed by many viewers but not fully articulated until now is the extent to
which his works subtly engage philosophical themes: What is evil, and how does it shield and reveal itself? Can we know
what is inside the mind of another person? What is at stake when one knows the truth but cannot speak of it or cannot
persuade others? How is Hitchcock's loving critique of humanity manifested in his films? Why are Hitchcock's works so
often ambiguous? What is the hidden purpose and theory behind his use of humor?
Hitchcock employs cinematic techniques from camera angles and use of light to editing and sound partly to convey
suspense and drama but also to engage and advance philosophical issues, ranging from identity crises to moral ugliness.
Roche unlocks Hitchcock's engagement with philosophical themes, and he does so in a way that appeals to both the
novice and the seasoned philosopher, as well as enthusiastic admirers of Hitchcock's films.
