Pavilion Books See page 223 One For My Baby A Sinatra Cocktail Companion Tom Smith The story of Frank Sinatra with a twist—combined with cocktail recipes The book introduces us to Sinatra’s life and art seen from an unconventional point of view: Ol’ Blue Eyes’ prodigious appetite for alcohol. Drinking was an integral part of his character, his lifestyle and (by extension) his creative output. This book also functions as a practical cocktail manual, containing more than 30 detailed recipes for preparing and presenting fancy drinks he was known to enjoy himself; as well as providing information on some of Sinatra’s own personal drinking lore and some of the traditions he followed or inspired. There are also accounts of some of his favorite watering holes (from legendary saloons such as Toots Shor’s and Jilly’s to Villa Capri or Monte’s Venetian Room), profiles of famous drinking buddies (such as Humphrey Bogart or Mike Romanoff) and a selection of drinking stories. The book begins with an essay looking at the role drink played throughout his life and ends with a consideration of his most enduring persona—The Last Saloon Singer. In between there are chapters on Classic Bourbon drinks, the Martini, Exotic Booze, Hangover Remedies and The Rat Pack. Tom Smith performed throughout the 1980s with cult bands The Fire Hydrant Men and Cas Carnaby Five and was front man for Gee Mr. Tracy. In 2000, after a dozen years as a label manager for independent record labels he became a freelance writer. He has written biographies of Blondie and The Ramones and written regularly on music. His artwork has appeared on various posters, album and single covers and his 2011 exhibition Jockey Full of Bourbon centered around paintings of Frank Sinatra, El- vis and Tom Waits. Earlier this year he exhibited with his wife Helen under the joint title The Smiths.

9 Sex and Horror: The Art of Alessandro Biffignandi Illustrations by Alessandro Biffignandi A unique retrospective of one of the greats of the golden age of Italian comics, focusing on some of his sexiest work Between the late 1960s and the early ‘80s Italy went crazy for the “fumetti sexy,” a home-grown genre of exotic comics with a unique brand of twisted humor, violence, and up-front sensu- ality. Wilder and weirder than you can imagine, they were some of the most outrageous and shocking comics ever produced, and their highly erotic covers were seen on every newsstand and ki- osk across the country. One of the most accomplished and prolific fumetti cover artists was Alessandro Biffignandi, whose artworks often featured horror, fantasy and sci-fi elements. This book collects some of the sexiest and most provocative examples of his work, which is highly coveted by collectors today. Alessandro Biffignandi was born in Rome in 1935, and later attended the city’s Favalli studios, where he learned the finer points of drawing. After graduating, he spent the late 1950s and early ‘60s working via Milan’s art agencies for the French market, painting covers for various pocket comics. He also drew comic strips, including Rombo Bill (Rodeo 1959), Flambo (Flam- bo 1959), Antonin (Nevada), Agent Special K3 (Special Rodeo 1966), Sergeant Fury (Zembla), and Peter Berg (Hondo 1964). Throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s Biffignandi painted hundreds of pulp comic covers, but in the ‘80s he left the comic world behind and started book cover illustration working in the horror, spy, war, and science-fiction genres. His designs have graced books published in the UK, U.S., and Italy.

10 i-D 75 Postcards of 75 Covers i-D 75 mischievous boxed postcards of covers to celebrate 35 years of the pioneering British fashion magazine i-D, founded by Terry Jones i-D is one of the coolest fashion magazines around. Since it launched in 1980, it continues to pioneer the hybrid style of documentary and fashion photography. Its design and typography have always been intimately connected to street fashion and youth culture. i-D has launched the careers of many models, stylists and photographers, and competed with the more direct- ly commercial fashion magazines. i-D’s distinctive ‘winky face’ instantly brings a playful irreverence to all its cover stars which include Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, Cara Delevigne, Linda Evangelista, Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Naomi Campbell and countless other style icons. The postcards come in a box with a slide-on lid. i-D began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980, and has developed into a glossy magazine that documents fashion and contemporary culture, and has broken ground defining it too. After more than 30 years, its editorial content still manages to surprise and inspire.

11 The Groucho Club Alice Patten To mark the 30th anniversary of its founding, we take a glimpse behind the Dean Street door into the life and times of the world famous Groucho Club, told by its members, its staff and its alumni We begin at the beginning according to Liz Calder, Groucho’s inventor. Liz’s friend and fellow publisher and founder Carmen Callil called her “probably the most magnificent of the generation of women who changed things; who moved the centre of the universe, of vision, and gave it a jolt.” The opening of the Groucho Club in 1985 was a part of that jolt. Dreamt up by a group of publishers as an alternative to stuffy gentleman’s clubs who wanted somewhere to meet and relax, they approached An- thony Mackintosh owner of “The Zanzibar”—a members bar in Covent Garden—and Restaurant 192. Tony and his partners got to work and the Groucho Club was created. Premises were found in Soho, the bohemian heart of London, and the doors opened to a membership drawn from the arts, publishing, film, music and advertising. It soon became the approved watering hole for the bright young things. Over the years its 4,000 or so members have become something of a dysfunctional family. And along the way the Club has, through member’s donations, accidentally become the guardian of one of the most, if not the most, special collections of modern British art on the planet. But above all it has become a home away from home. To mark their 30th birthday in 2015 the Groucho Club published this, their first autobiography. Alice Patten is an actress and writer. She has performed in the West End, an award winning Bollywood film and television, including The Musketeers and Downton Abbey. After years of enjoying the Groucho Club’s kind hospitality she has joined forces with them to write the Club’s autobiography. This is her first book.

Colour and Abstraction George Blacklock A practical look for artists and designers at understanding how color relates to abstraction Colour and Abstraction looks at how color was liberated from its subservient role to drawing in developing pictorial space, and how—with traditional roles broken—abstraction was born, allowing a more vibrant use of color. As a practical book, it explores how paint can determine the color and drawing within a painting, especially in relation to how expressive, cool, gestural, tactile, or intense the work will be. This, in turn, can determine the kind of pictorial space that the artist uses, moving both toward and away from depiction. This new book encourages you to understand how color relates to abstraction, and create a method of painting that challenges and advances your own style. George Blacklock is an experienced art tutor and the Dean of Chelsea College of Arts. He has exhibited widely.

These self-cleaning ecosystems are beautiful to look at and provide a valuable water source for dragonflies, honeybees and other beneficial insects. Wolfram Kircher has researched extensively into the low-nutrientdependent plants that are needed for the surrounds of natural swimming pools and the high-nutrient dependent plants that are required for the regeneration zone. In the book he demonstrates how to maintain the nutrient level in perfect balance to keep down the algae down and water sparkling. The authors have installed pools for decades and trialled different systems and plants to come up with the best possible designs.

Moon Gardening Ancient and Natural Ways to Grow Healthier, Tastier Food John Harris and Jim Rickards “In this Cornish garden, the old ways still work their magic.” —Daily Telegraph Achieve magical results through the most natural means, planting by the cycles of the waxing and waning moon What gardener wouldn’t want to increase their crop yield and grow healthier, better tasting food, while reducing work and forking out less on fertilizer? This seemingly impossible win- win is achieved by planting and reaping in tune with the phases of the moon. Lunar gardening has been around for as long we have pulled food from the soil. It was practiced by the Incas and the Native Americans, and is still followed by the Maoris and rural communities in Eastern Europe—because it works. But with the mass adoption of fertilizers achieving quicker results for a need-it-now-generation, these techniques had been all but forgotten by the modern gardener. Head gardener at Cornwall’s famous Tresillian Estate, John Harris, has researched, studied, and put in to practice the principles of gardening by the phases of the moon for more than 40 years. The results he’s achieved are nothing short of astonishing. He has never watered his garden, he only grows organically, and yet he’s won numerous show awards and prizes for the size, abundance, and taste of his produce. Here he shows you how you can do the same by following a few simple principles. This book, written in his own inimitable style, is packed full of tips that improve results, anecdotes that inspire, and resources you can rely on. Its ultimate aim is to pass on John’s treasure trove of horticultural knowledge to future generations, so that we can all get more from our garden. And before you ask, no: moon gardening doesn’t mean you have to start digging at night. John Harris is head gardener at Tresillian House. Jim Rickards is the author of Out of Russia and a former editor for HarperCollins and BBC.

30 Meadows at Great Dixter and Beyond Christopher Lloyd Introduction by Fergus Garrett Photographer Jonathan Buckley and Carol Casselden Acclaimed master of meadow gardening Christopher Lloyd, and his successor Fergus Garrett, dole out advice in this new and expanded edition To see a meadow in bloom is a great delight—it’s alive and teeming with life, mysterious, dynamic and seemingly out of our control . . . So Christopher Lloyd began his book on meadows, first published in 2004. No one knew more about meadow gardening than Lloyd, who spent much of his long life developing the flowering tapestries in his garden at Great Dixter, in the UK. In Meadows, he imparted that lifetime’s learning, exploring the development and management of meadow areas, explaining how to establish a meadow in a garden setting, and describing the hundreds of beautiful grasses, bulbs, and perennials and annuals that thrive in different meadow conditions. Lloyd’s classic text remains at the heart of this new book. However, here Fergus Garrett, Christopher Lloyd’s head gardener and his successor at Great Dixter, greatly expands and develops the theme of meadow gardening. Garrett’s introduction is accompanied by brand new photography by Carol Casselden. This edition is completely redesigned. Christopher Lloyd (1921-2006) wrote regularly for newspapers and magazines including the Guardian and Country Life, and was the author of many gardening books. He was created OBE in 2000 and also held the highest award of the Royal Horticultural Society, the Vic- toria Medal of Honour. Fergus Garrett went to Great Dixter as head gardener in 1992 and worked closely with Christopher Lloyd for the next 15 years. He has since combined his full- time, hands-on gardening role at Dixter with writing and lecturing all over the UK, Europe, the US, Australia and New Zealand.

Woburn Abbey The Park & Gardens Keir Davidson The park and gardens at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordsire, England, tell a fascinating story, and one that illuminates the history of English landscaping from the 16th century to the present day Drawing on the enormous quantity of material available in the Woburn Archives, as well as the historic images and details preserved in the art in the Abbey itself, this book describes how the park and gardens developed, following wider trends in landscaping as well as the individual tastes of the successive dukes and duchesses. It also places the significant developments in the park and gardens in the context of the other gardens built at the time. Almost all of the important figures in English landscaping—from Isaac de Caus to George London and Henry Wise, Charles Bridgeman, and Humphry Repton—worked for the Bedford family at one time or another. In our own time, a 10-year program of restoration of Repton’s Pleasure Gardens initiated by the present Duchess is under way. When this is finished, in 2018, the result will be the most complete Repton pleasure grounds anywhere in the world. In this book Keir Davidson weaves specific and wider themes together in a way that brings the whole enthralling story to life, engaging the reader with historic gardens that are not simply part of a lost past, but can be experienced today. Keir Davidson is a landscape designer specializing in waterfalls of natural rock. He created gardens in Japan and then worked for 18 years in the United States, building a 250-acre private botanical garden in New York. For the past 16 years he has been associated with Woburn Abbey and the Bedford family, initially as a waterfalls designer and subsequently as a landscape historian.

Mrs Luther and Her Sisters Women in the Reformation Derek Wilson The story of what the Reformation did for women and what women did for the Reformation Women have made crucial contributions to the life of the Church from New Testament times onwards, but the Reformation saw an explosion in their involvement. Having ben- efited alongside their brothers from the Renaissance’s emphasis on learning, and with the increasing casting aside of the belief that they were intellectually inferior, women learned to read in ever increasing numbers—and most of them wanted to read the Bible. As a result, many started to interpret Scripture for themselves, putting them on a collision course with the Church. Derek Wilson is a historian, broadcaster, speaker, and novelist. He is the author of The Peo- ple’s Bible, A Brief History of Henry VIII, Charlemagne, Francis Walsingham, Spymaster, In the Lion’s Court, Out of the Storm, and The Uncrowned Kings of England, among others.

Never the snooty artist, locked away from the world, Shakespeare was in the thick of it.

38 The Bard in Brief Shakespeare in Quotations Hannah Manktelow A new introduction to some of the best-loved literary works ever written, through early printed texts that help us get closer than any other source material to Shakespeare the working poet and playwright Shakespeare is the greatest dramatist in the English language, but none of his manuscripts survive. Less than half his plays were printed before he died, in editions known as quartos from their relatively small size. Most of his plays appeared in the First Folio, a large, handsome volume printed seven years after Shakespeare’s death. What we know of his dramas comes from these sources. This new introduction to Shakespeare’s work contains specially chosen extracts from each of his plays and major poems, including collaborative and apoc- ryphal work. Each quotation is accompanied by a full-page reproduction of an early printed edition, along with brief notes about the context and story of the play. Hannah Manktelow is a PhD student at the University of Nottingham and the British Li- brary. She is researching provincial performances of Shakespeare.

Shakespeare in Ten Acts Four hundred years after Shakespeare’s death, it is difficult to imagine a time when he was not considered a genius. But those 400 years have seen his plays banished and bowdlerized, faked and forged, traded and translated, re-mixed and re-cast. Shakespeare’s story is not one of a steady rise to fame; it is a tale of setbacks and sea-changes that have made him the cultural icon he is today. This revealing new book accompanies an innovative exhibition at the British Library that will take readers on a journey through more than 400 years of performance. It will focus on 10 moments in history that have changed the way we see Shakespeare, from the very first production ofHamlet to a digital-age deconstruction. Each performance holds up a mirror to the era in which it was performed. The first stage appearance by a woman in 1660 and a black actor playing Othello in 1825 were landmarks for society as well as for Shakespeare’s reputation. The book will also explore productions as diverse as Peter Brook’s legendary A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Mark Rylance’s “Orig- inal Practices” Twelfth Night, and a Shakespeare forgery staged at Drury Lane in 1796, among many others. More than 100 illustrations include the only surviving playscript in Shakespeare’s hand, an authentic Shakespeare signature, and rare printed editions including the First Folio. These—and other treasures from the British Library’s manuscript and rare book collections—will feature alongside film stills, costumes, paintings, and production photographs. In this book, 10 leading experts take a fresh look at Shakespeare, reminding us that the playwright’s iconic status has been constructed over the centuries in a process that continues across the world today. Gordon McMullan is a Professor of English at King’s College London and a director of the London Shakespeare Centre. Zoe Wilcox is Lead Curator at the British Library for the Shakespeare and performance exhibition which this book accompanies.

39 A Smidgeon of Shakespeare Brush Up on the Bard with Lists, Facts and Fun Geoff Spiteri Covering characters, plots, and themes as well as binge drinking, rude gestures, and South Park, an engaging collection of little-known facts about the world’s best-known playwright Far from being three-hour marathons of unintelligible, boring dialogue, Shakespeare’s plays are in fact exciting, tragic, funny, and often downright rude masterpieces filled with memorable plots, great insults, filthy jokes, and eccentric characters.

Or what Shakespeare was really talking about when he mentions pizzles, potato fingers, and peculiar rivers? Ranging from the truly enlightening to the utterly obscure, the facts and insights in this comprehensive resource will bring to life as never before the fascinating world of Shakespeare’s work.

Wealth or Poverty? Jane Austen’s Novels Explored Stephen Mahony This insightful examination of the financial background of the life and times of Aus- ten’s characters provides a fresh light on her characters, revealing hidden nuances to modern readers Money is significant in Jane Austen’s novels. Her characters worry about it, scheme for it, and, of course, spend it. Money is not simply a way of placing people: it propels plots, adds drama, and tells us much about an individual’s nature and morals. Taking the novels as his starting point, Stephen Mahony looks at the wealth and social standing of Austen’s characters in relation to the economic background of the day, giving us real insight into their aspirations and motivations. What did a servant earn? Just how poor was Miss Bates? What were the pay and conditions of a midshipman like William Price? What would it cost to house, clothe and feed the entire Bennet family? And how much would Elizabeth Bennet need to live comfortably if she hadn’t married Darcy? The result is a revealing account of Austen, her characters, and the England in which they lived. Stephen Mahony spent 30 years in finance. He is the author of six books on financial subjects, and has written for the newsletter of the UK Jane Austen Society and for Regency World magazine.

Adventures in The Strand Arthur Conan Doyle & The Strand Magazine Mike Ashley A broader picture of Conan Doyle’s life and work focused through the lens of his nearly 300 contributions, from serialized novels to poetry, in The Strand magazine Conan Doyle’s name is synonymous with The Strand magazine, chiefly because of the Sher- lock Holmes stories but also due to many of his other contributions, such as the Professor Challenger stories, his articles on spiritualism and fairies, and his coverage of the major battles of World War I. From 1891 until his death in 1930, almost 300 contributions by Doyle were published in The Strand, including 120 stories, 9 serialized novels, and dozens of other items including poetry and interviews. It is impossible fully to appreciate Conan Doyle’s artistic development without considering the context of The Strand, as it published almost all of his most memorable and important stories, but it also published essays, commentary and other works that have become unjustly forgotten. Doyle’s contributions highlight, for example, his abilities as a sportsman, an interest which frequently found its way into his fiction. This study charts his outlook and views, examines his shifting reputation during his lifetime, and assesses how Doyle’s contributions to The Strand fit into his overall output as a writer. Ashley uncovers hidden aspects of Doyle’s writings that reveal him to be a more broadly talented writer than he is often given credit for. Mike Ashley is the author and editor of more than 60 books, and one of the foremost historians of popular fiction. His books include The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures, The Mammoth Book of Time Travel SF, and Out of this World.

Well of Loneliness Radclyffe Hall One of the earliest and most controversial lesbian novels ever published, the subject of an indecency trial that found such figures as Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald coming out in support of it Stephen Gordon was a little girl who always felt different. A talent for sports, a hatred of dresses, and a preference for horses and solitude were not considered appropriate for a young lady of the Victorian upper classes. But when Stephen grows up and falls passionately in love with another woman, her standing in the county and her place at the home she loves become untenable. Stephen must set off to discover whether there is anywhere in the world that will have her. The edition contains extra material which tells the fascinating story behind the book’s controversial publication, trial and ban in 1928. Radclyffe Hall is the pen name of Marguerite Radclyffe-Hall (1880-1943), an English poet and novelist. Hall was renowned for her open homosexuality, a subject dealt with in her best-known novel, The Well of Loneliness (1928), a semi-autobiographical work and the only one of her eight novels to deal with overt lesbian themes. Her open treatment of lesbianism in The Well of Loneliness occasioned a trial for obscen- ity; it was banned and an appeal refused, which resulted in all copies in Britain being destroyed. The US allowed its publication after a long court battle. She also published several volumes of verse including Twixt Earth and Stars: Poems and Songs of Three Counties and Other Poems. Her novel Adam’s Breed won the Prix Femina and the 1927 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction.

That wag Joyce is the truest neighbor, though contemporaries Pynchon and Rushdie will do in a pinch. . . . Writers this good, writing in the English language, can almost be counted on the fingers of one hand.” —Booklist A reissue of a Whitbread-winning classic 30 years in the writing, blackly humorous, Joycean, and without compromise Following Tam Clay around the Gorbals slums of 1960s Glasgow, Torrington combines lyrical verve with dark comedy in this modern odyssey of self-discovery.

A riotous urban picaresque, Jeff Tor- rington’s comic novel marked a milestone in Scottish literature.

47 THE CANONS

Awakening Kate Chopin Introduction by Barbara Kingsolver Kate Chopin’s trail-blazing feminist novel join’s Canongate’s Canons series, with an introduction by Barbara Kingsolver Over one long, languid summer Edna Pontellier, fettered by marriage and motherhood, gradually awakens to her individuality and sexuality and experiences love outside of her passionless marriage. But as she discovers emotional freedom, so she comes to realize the true extent of her psychological and social confinement, and its terrible consequences for her future. This tender, brilliant, seductive, and devastating novel is as beautifully written as it is politically engaging. The Awakening is as relevant today as when it was first published two centuries ago. Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was one of the most individual and adventurous of 19th-century American writers, whose fiction explored new and often startling territory. She is the author of two novels, The Awakening and My Fault, and several short stories. Barbara Kingsolver is the Pulitzer-nominated author of 14 books, including Animal, Vegetable, Mineral; The Poisonwood Bible; and Prodigal Summer. She has been awarded a National Humanities Medal, and each of her books published since 1993 has been a New York Times bestseller.

Lanark A Life in Four Books Alasdair Gray Introduction by William Boyd “Probably the greatest novel of the century . . . it marked the beginning of a new era.” —Observer “ I think it’s the best in Scottish literature this century.” —Iain Banks This cornerstone epic is now available as a stunning Canons edition with an introduction by William Boyd Set in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow, this modern vision of hell tells the interwoven stories of two men: Lanark and Duncan Thaw. As the Life in Four Books unfolds, the strange, buried relationship between Lanark and Thaw slowly starts to emerge. Lanark is a towering work of the imagination and is the culmination of 25 years of work by Gray, who also illustrated and designed the novel. On its first publication it was immediately recognized as a major work of literature, and drew comparisons with Dante, Blake, Joyce, Orwell, Kafka, Huxley and Lewis Carroll. Thirty years on, its power, majesty, anger and relevance has only intensified. Alasdair Gray has published 20 books, most of them novels and short stories. In his own words, “Alasdair Gray is a fat, spectacled, balding, increasingly old Glaswegian pedestrian who has mainly lived by writing and designing books, most of them fiction.” William Boyd is an award-winning novelist whose works include Any Human Heart, Restless, and Waiting for Sunrise.

Pleasures of Nature A Literary Anthology “Splendid. . . . The collection as a whole reads like a fresh treat, thanks to Hardyment’s keen eye for pleasures of many kinds.” —New Yorker on Pleasures of the Table A beautifully illustrated selection of great nature writing featuring a wide range of classic authors, including many unusual and lesser-known accounts of the natural world From Leonardo da Vinci on the shifting colors of the sky to Charlotte Brontë on the wild moors of Yorkshire, and from DH Lawrence inhabiting the mind of the indomitable tortoise to the intrepid Isabella Bird climbing a Hawaiian volcano, the anthology showcases many voices—lyrical, awestruck, often deeply reflective.

Not one of all the fictional characters I’ve created since then is as close to my soul as he is.” —Mo Yan, 2012 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech “Goldblatt’s translation does justice to Mo’s rich prose. . . .

Cathay: Ezra Pound’s Orient Ira Nadel The impact of Cathay, the collection of classical Chinese poetry translated by Pound The English literati were fascinated by China at the turn of the century. London was a breeding ground for the avant-garde and modernist writers like Eliot, Yeats and Pound became infatuated—but only Pound set out to re-invent, re-connect and eventually “rethink the nature of an English poem.” Published in 1915, Pound’s translations were popular and highly controversial. His bold interpretations of Chinese form, wording and metric often bore little resemblance to the original. Cathay set the stage for a new approach to poetry and eventually for a newfound East in the West. Ira Nadel is an American-Canadian biographer and literary critic. Nadel is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and winner of the 1996 Medal for Canadian Biography. He has also been awarded a Killam Research Prize, Mellon and Dorot Fellowships at the Ransom Hu- manities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, and a Beinecke Fellowship at Yale.

When they arrive, they discover the priest has already been found—or at least parts of him have.

In the Name of Love Patrick Smith A literary crime novel from a remarkable new Irish writer set in a seemingly idyllic island community on the Stockholm archipelago. A young woman is brutally murdered on an island near Stockholm—a haunt of wealthy retir- ees and arty weekenders. Suspicion falls first on a family of Iraqi refugees, initially welcomed into the community but gradually feared and shunned. But then, as the victim’s story unfolds, suspicion begins inexorably to fall elsewhere. Lena Sundman was rude, dysfunctional, and very young—everything a fastidious man like Dan Byrne disliked. Taking refuge on the island after the sudden death of his wife, Dan finds himself strangely drawn to the troubled girl, starting from the moment he reluctantly rescues her in the teeth of a gathering snowstorm. This is a taut, elegantly chilling drama in the tradition of Scandinavian masters from Ibsen to Larsson. Born in Ireland, Patrick Smith has spent most of his life as a translator in Sweden and, having published novels and short stories in Swedish, began his first novel in English at the age of 70.

62 MERRILY WATKINS MYSTERIES

Friends of the Dusk #13 Phil Rickman “Rickman, a historian of the first order, neatly segues between church policies of today and seven centuries ago. Be prepared to read slowly, maybe even take notes.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Fabric of Sin A medieval legend spawns an unhealthy cult, and a terrifying 13th case for Merrily Watkins When autumn storms blast Hereford, centuries-old human bones are found among the roots of a tree blown down on the city’s Castle Green. At the nearby Cathedral, another storm is building around a modernizing bishop who believes that the Church must phase out irrelevant archaic practices—bad news for Merrily Watkins, consultant on the paranormal or, as it used to be known, diocesan exorcist. Especially as she’s now presented with the job at its most medieval, in dealing with a rambling 12th-century house thought to be haunted. Merrily’s discovery of the house’s links with the medieval legend of a man who resisted mortality threatens to expose the hidden history of a more modern cult and its trail of insidious abuse—a trail that may not be closed. Phil Rickman is the author of the John Dee series and the Mer- rily Watkins series.

It was waiting to happen. You just . . . helped.’ ‘Malcolm, they’ll strike me off!’ ‘They can’t strike you off. You’re still a House Officer. They haven’t struck you on yet . . . ‘ Malcolm Goldblatt has one last chance. Life, or his own obstinacy, has dumped him at the door of Professor Andrea Small’s medical unit, where he will have the privilege of minister- ing to the world’s most unimportant disease. But in so many ways, this unit is like all the others that Goldblatt has worked on, from Dr. Madic’s ferocious aversion to work, to Dr. Burton’s knife-in-the-back ambition, right up to the monstrous vanities of the professor herself—and that’s before he even meets the patients. Soon the familiar cycle of hope and despair threatens to drag him into its eddy, and with his finger never far from the self-destruct button, the temptation to press it for what will surely be the final time begins to feel less like professional suicide and more like salvation. Michael Honig trained in medicine and worked at a number of London’s teaching hospitals.

Find My Way Home #12 Mark Timlin “Sharman—who makes Sam Spade look like a curate—slugs, shoots and swears his way through to a climax spattered with more dead bodies than a grand opera.

87 Jimfish Christopher Hope From one of South Africa’s finest novelists comes a glittering and vivid fable of politics and power In the 1980s, a small man is pulled up out of the Indian Ocean in Port Pallid, South Africa, claiming to have been kidnapped as a baby. The Sergeant, whose job it is to sort the local people by color, and thereby determine their fate, peers at the boy, then sticks a pencil into his hair, as one did in those days, waiting to see if it stays there, or falls out before he gives his verdict: ‘He’s very odd, this Jimfish you’ve hauled in. If he’s white he is not the right sort of white. But if he’s black, who can say? We’ll wait before we classify him. I’ll give his age as 18, and call him Jimfish. Because he’s a real fish out of water, this one is.’ So begins the odyssey of Jimfish, a South African Everyman, who defies the usual classification of race that defines the rainbow nation. His journey through the last years of Apartheid will extend beyond the borders of South Africa to the wider world, where he will be an unlikely witness to the defining moments of the dying days of the 20th century. Part fable, part fierce commentary on the politics of power, this work is the culmination of a lifetime’s writing and thinking, on both the Apartheid regime and the history of the 20th century, by a writer of enormous originality and range. Christopher Hope is the author of nine novels and one collection of short stories, including Kruger’s Alp, which won the Whitbread Prize for Fiction, Serenity House, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and My Mother’s Lovers.

88 Melnitz Charles Lewinsky “An outstanding novel of a quality only seldom met with . . . This reviewer cannot remember having read such an extensive book in the last few years as swiftly, easily and inquisitively as this one.” —Neue Zürcher Zeitung The international-bestselling saga of a large and colorful Jewish family buffeted from quiet respectability-of-sorts in 1871 to the Nazi death camps of 1945 1871. Cattle-dealer Solomon Meijer has made a reputation for himself as one of the few honest Jews in Endingen, a rare Swiss town in which Jews are allowed to reside. He leads a largely untroubled life, rewarded by his work and comforted at home by his wife and two daughters. But all of this is set to end when he answers a knock at the door in the middle of the night. On the doorstep stands his young distant cousin, Janki, half-dead and begging for refuge. The pitiful figure is invited in and given a coveted place in the bosom of the family, but when Janki recovers and regains his ambition and his fine-looks, he will change the Mei- jer family’s lives for generations to come. In the tradition of the great family romances of the 19th century, Melnitz is the saga of the Swiss-Jewish Meijer family, spanning five generations from the Franco-Prussian War to World War II. It is a novel of fate, fortune and great falls; a homage to the sunken world of Yiddish culture and a celebration of the enduring spirit of biting Jewish humor.

Himmler’s Cook Franz-Olivier Giesbert “A novel as excessive as it is joyful.” —L’Express A gloriously rich and blackly funny French bestseller about Rose, a 105-year-old chef who has experienced life at its fullest . . . and at its most deadly “History is a bitch. She has taken everything from me. My children. My parents. My great, true love. My cats. I don’t understand the stupid veneration that the human race feels for her.” Aged 105, Rose has endured more than her fair share of hardships: the Armenian genocide, the Nazi regime, and the delirium of Maoism. Yet somehow, despite all the suffering, Rose never loses her joie de vivre.

Harry Mac Russell Eldridge A beautiful coming-of-age story set in a year of political turmoil in South Africa “I can’t help feeling the lane where we lived had something to do with it all. As though these families had been put there for a reason. . . it was so still, like everyone was holding their breath a lot of the time.” Tom and Millie are best friends who live in a quiet lane on the edge of town and rely on each other to make sense of what’s going on in their lives—especially Harry Mac’s. Harry Mac, Tom’s dad, is a man of silences and secrets. And now Tom is involved in one of those secrets. At school, Tom sits through lessons on the arms race and President Kennedy, waiting until he can be back on the lane, where life is far more interesting: why does a black car drive slowly up the lane every night? And what did Harry Mac mean when he wrote in his newspaper “people disappear in the night?” Set within a fascinating period of South African politics, this coming-of-age story is full of heart, soul, and hope, in the tradition of Jasper Jones and To Kill a Mockingbird. Russell Eldridge is South African by birth.

103 The Poetry of Sex A raucous, highly enjoyable anthology edited by acclaimed poet Sophie Hannah We’ve been at it all summer, from the Canadian border to the edge of Mexico . . . Romance and poetry seem to go hand in hand but—implicit, explicit, nuanced or starkly frank—sex itself has long been a staple subject for poets. In fact a great deal of erotic poetry rejects the distinction. It’s hard to imagine a more fruitful subject for poets than sex, in all its glorious manifestations: from desire and hope, through disappointment and confusion, to conclusion and consequence. And little has changed over the centuries, as Sophie Han- nah’s anthology vividly demonstrates, from Catullus pleading with Lesbos to Walt Whitman singing the body electric. Moods and attitudes may vary but the drive persists as does the desire to write about it. Sophie Hannah’s selection ranges from ancient Rome to modern New York, from gay to straight, but her principle has been to go low on the sugar and high on the excitement. The result is a raucous, highly enjoyable anthology. From Shakespeare to Carol Ann Duffy, this book is essential reading for poetry lovers and romantics everywhere. Sophie Hannah is a novelist and poet. Her fifth poetry collection Pessimism for Beginners was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Award. Her bestselling novels include The Dead Lie Down, The Wrong Mother, and The Monogram Murders. Poetry • 240 Pages • 5 x 8 • 9780241962633 • May • $18.95 • Trade Paper • Rights: US Penguin UK/Penguin

104 At Liberty From Rehab to the Front Row Ed Burstell “Indefatigable, indestructible and as decisive as a cleaver. Don’t mess with the Best.” —Richard E. Grant, actor “Liberty has made a great decision to take on talent like Ed Burstell.” —Manolo Blahnik, fashion designer How an American transplant became head of one of the UK’s most iconic institutions— his outrageous story as only he could tell it A truly inspirational memoir, this is Ed’s story: an affecting, candid and wildly funny tale of one man’s meteoric rise to the top of the retail and fashion world—from heroin addict to MD of Liberty, one of Britain’s most iconic institutions. Along the way, Ed shares his ups and downs: the riotous hedonism of the 1980s New York and Florida party scenes; the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis, during which he lost his best friend; his first job as a spritzer at Macy’s; his role in transforming the fortunes of two of New York’s most prestigious luxury department stores; his battle with drug addiction and depression; his experiences working with a multiplicity of high-profile stars; his top tips for surviving in fashion and retail; and finally his coming to London to take the reins at Liberty, a stranger in a strange land. At Liberty is a window onto a seemingly glamorous world, a world that Ed writes about with a spark, wry, self-deprecating humor and a fantastic sense of pathos. Before taking the top job at Liberty in 2008 (since when he’s presided over double-digit year- on-year growth), Ed Burstell was Senior Vice President at Bergdorf Goodman and General Manager of Henri Bendel. Ed also writes for the New York Times and the Financial Times.

Out at the Movies A History of Gay Cinema Second edition Steven Paul Davies “A thoughtful and well-presented overview of the subject with insightful perspectives on the complex role and social, political, and artistic impact of gay cinema within modern culture.” —Library Journal “A detailed decade-by-decade look at the movies, actors and directors who defined each period, with plenty of gems for your ‘to watch’ list.” —Gay Times Over the decades, gay cinema has reflected the community’s journey from persecution to emancipation to acceptance. Politicized dramas like Victim in the 60s, The Naked Civil Servant in the 70s, and the AIDS cinema of the 80s have given way in recent years to films which celebrate a vast array of gay lifestyles. Gay films have undergone a major shift, from the fringe to the mainstream and 2005’s Academy Awards were dubbed “the Gay Oscars” with awards going to Brokeback Mountain, Capote and Transamerica. The book discusses gay cinema since then, and includes information on gay filmmakers and actors and their influence within the industry. Interspersed throughout the book are some of the most iconic scenes from gay cinema and the most memorable dialogue from key films. Steven Paul Davies is the author of Alex Cox: Film Anarchist, Brat Pack: Confidential, A-Z Cult Films and Filmmakers, The Prisoner Handbook and Get Carter and Beyond: The Cin- ema of Mike Hodges.

107 J.J. Abrams A Study in Genius: The Unofficial Biography Neil Daniels The life story of the genius director, writer and producer behind some of the most authentically brilliant sci-fi and action productions of the last 20 years J.J. Abrams is one of the most successful director-writer-producers working in Hollywood, and now that he is being offered the chance to visit a galaxy far, far away to direct the long-awaited Star Wars sequel, his reputation is set to shoot ever higher. Abrams’ success has been such that he has himself become something of a brand, especially since his popular revitalization of the Star Trek franchise. However, in the early 1990s Abrams began his career writing relatively average movie scripts, such as Regarding Henry and Forever Young, before moving into TV with Felicity. It wasn’t until the spy series Alias that his career truly launched. Since the early 2000s, Abrams has dominated genre-TV with the success of cult shows such as Lost and Fringe. At the same time, he found time for the big screen, directing Mission: Impossible III and Super 8 as well as producing the innovative monster movie Clo- verfield. Then, not content with distinction in these two fields, 2013 saw the release of his first novel S. with Doug Dorst. While Abrams sceptics note that not everything he has been involved with has worked—a number of his TV shows have been cancelled and some of his films have received mixed reviews—there’s no question that Abrams is one of Hollywood’s most powerful people. This is the first biography of the cult legend who is set to dominate the world of SF for years to come. Neil Daniels is the author of Bon Jovi Encyclopaedia, Don’t Stop Believin’, and Iron Maiden.

Robert Pattinson The Biography Sarah Oliver How Robert Pattinson became this decade’s modern matinee idol The Twilight Saga may have made “R-Patz” a household name, but long gone are the days when he was just seen as a (very) pretty face.

Another benchmark for music biographies.” —Record Collector The definitive biography of The Kinks’ legendary frontman and one of the most tumultuous tales in Rock history Ray Davies, legendary frontman of The Kinks, is one of the all-time greatest rock ‘n’ roll musicians—and also one of its most troubled and enigmatic. In the summer of 1964, Ray Davies led The Kinks to fame with their number one hit “You Really Got Me.” Within months, they were challenging The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in the charts, swamped by fans and renowned for the rioting at their gigs. Over the next three decades, Davies wrote a string of classics, including “All Day and All of the Night,” “Sunny Afternoon,” “Waterloo Sunset,” and “Lola,” securing his status as one of the handful of people to have redefined pop culture over the last 50 years. But Ray’s journey was tumultuous in the extreme, featuring breakdowns, lawsuits, punch-ups and a ban from the U.S. for almost four years. His relationship with his brother Dave, The Kinks’ lead guitarist, is surely the most ferocious and abusive in music history. Based on countless interviews conducted over several decades, this richly detailed biography presents the most frank and intimate portrait yet of Ray Davies, and promises to be the definitive biography of this most fascinating and complicated life. Johnny Rogan is the author of more than 20 books, including Byrds: Requiem for the Time- less, Morrissey & Marr, and Van Morrison.

Johnny Marr The Smiths and the Art of Gunslinging Richard Carman The genius behind the revolutionary sound of The Smiths The shimmering, muscular guitar pop of The Smiths shone like a beacon through the 1980s as they took up the mantle of the best British band since The Beatles. Their unparalleled mu- sicality inspired a generation of popular bands including Oasis, the Stone Roses, and Radio- head. Johnny Marr was behind that sound, and has proved to be a gun-slinger without equal, a guitarist who rode the longest highways to find the most perfect sounds, and who built the gilt-edged frames in which the lyrical portraits of co-writer Morrissey sat so perfectly. While he may well be remembered forever for the haunting intro to “How Soon Is Now?” Marr has not slowed down creatively, inspiring a generation of younger listeners through his work with The Cribs, and even working with Hans Zimmer on the stunning soundtrack to the critically-acclaimed blockbuster Inception. He remains as influential and important as ever. Filled with insight and musical lore, this book traces the incredible story of how the son of Irish immigrants rose to become the iconic architect of a new sound for British guitar music. Richard Carman is the author of Robert Smith: The Cure & Wishful Thinking and has contributed to more than a dozen music books on artists, including Dave Grohl, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shaun Ryder, and The White Stripes.

With Bon, there was always sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll, but this deeply personal insight also shows the humor, intelligence, and warmth of the man. From dilapidated apartments in inner Melbourne, through to the legendary early years of AC/DC, Live Wire is a revealing portrait of Bon, told by three of the people who knew him best. John Darcy was Bon’s roadie and mate. Gabby is Darce’s wife and was a close friend of Bon’s. And Mary Renshaw was—as AC/DC’s former bass player Mark Evans called her—Bon’s soulmate and companion. As Bon said, it’s a long way to the top. And Mary, Darce, and Gabby were with him every step of the way. They lived with him, they loved him, and this is how they remember him. John Darcy is a legendary Australian roadie, and was the roadie for Bon Scott’s first major band, The Valentines. Gabby Darcy was just 14 when she met The Valentines.

Dog Eat Dog A Story of Survival, Struggle and Triumph by the Man Who Put AC/DC on the World Stage Michael Browning An insider’s account of the formation and early success of two of the world’s greatest bands, AC/DC and INXS Michael Browning first spotted AC/DC in September 1974. They were raw and rough, and much of the crowd, Michael included, was bewildered by the flashy guitarist dressed as a school kid. But Michael knew they had something—a blistering sound, killer songs, and a wildly charismatic stage presence. Within a week he’d signed them to a management contract and embarked on a shared journey that within five years would take them to international prominence. A young street kid with an uncanny ear for music, Michael had kicked off his career in the swinging clubs that made Melbourne the most happening place in Australia in the ‘60s. In the ‘80s Michael did it again, signing an up-and-coming band called INXS to his label Deluxe Records and setting them on the course to superstardom. Here is the story of one of the true believers of the Australian music industry, the man who helped the country’s two biggest bands achieve world domination, and lived to tell the tale. Michael Browning was running Melbourne’s Hard Rock Cafe when he first encountered a struggling AC/DC in 1974. When he and the band parted ways five years later, they were on the brink of global domination. Prior to that, Michael managed such local stars as Billy Thorpe and Doug Parkinson. After a stint in the U.S. in the early 1980s, Michael returned to Australia, where he launched Deluxe Records, in the process discovering and developing INXS, whom he signed to the label.

Beethoven in China Jindong Cai and Sheila Melvin The compelling story of Beethoven and the Chinese people, including his role in the nor- malization of US-China relations Beethoven’s music is the most frequently played of a classical composer in China today. First introduced to China in 1906, he inspired intellectuals like Lu Xun, who considered him a role model for dedication and aesthetic taste, and aspiring musicians. As a man who refused to bow to royalty, Beethoven was celebrated by the Communist Party in the early days of the revolution before he was banned for composing bourgeois music in the cultural vacuum of the 60s and 70s. After the Cultural Revolution and the death of Mao, ‘Beethoven fever’ would sweep the country, presaging his present-day popularity. Melvin and Cai explore the vicissitudes of Beethoven’s legacy in China, and the changing politics of the 20th century and its oscillating affiliation with Western classical music. Jindong Cai is the Gretchen B. Kimball Director of Orchestral Studies at Stanford Univer- sity and the Music Director and Conductor of the Stanford Symphony Orchestra. He is the three-time recipient of the American Society of Composers and Publishers award for Adven- turous Programming of Contemporary Music. He lives in the Bay Area. Sheila Melvin has contributed to international publications like the International Herald Tribune, Caixin, New York Times and Wall Street Journal. She authored The Little Red Book of China Business, and coauthored with Jindong Cai Rhapsody in Red. She splits her time between Palo Alto, California, and Beijing.

114 Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay The Dodgy Business of Popular Music Simon Napier-Bell “Simon Napier-Bell pulls no punches. He tells this roller coaster of a story like it is: engaging, amusing, heartbreaking, enraging and appalling with every turn of the page.” —Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits “A fan’s delight. Mind-boggling in its scale, intimate in its detail. . . . With the author’s sure hand, what could have been a dry, academic timeline . . . is instead a page-turning drama.” —Huffington Post UK A highly-acclaimed one-volume insider history of the whole damn music business Let legendary rock manager Simon Napier-Bell take you inside not just a creative industry, but a business that has made people wildly rich. This book describes the evolution of the industry from 1713, the year parliament granted writers ownership over what they wrote, to today, when a global industry is controlled by just three major players: Sony, Universal and Warner. Inside you will uncover little-known industry facts, including how a formula for writing hit songs in the 1900s helped create 50,000 of the best-known songs of all time; how infighting in the American pre-war music industry shut down traditional radio and created an opening for country music, race records and rock’n’roll; how Jewish immigrants and black jazz musicians dancing cheek-to-cheek created a template for all popular music that followed; and how rock tours became the biggest, quickest, sleaziest and most profitable ventures the music industry has ever seen. Simon Napier-Bell has been a film composer, songwriter, record producer, and author, but he is perhaps best known for having managed such artists as The Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, T. Rex, Japan and Wham! He is the author of I’m Coming to Take You to Lunch. He is a director of Papa Entertainments PLC and of Snap-B Music.

117 100 Things that Caught My Eye Chris Packham A fascinating and informative look into the mind of an exceptional wildlife photographer at the moment he captures every picture Award-winning photographer Chris Packham has traveled the world in his quest for the ultimate image. Here, readers are offered a rare glimpse into the imagination of an exceptional photographer at the moment he captures each picture. Chris has chosen these iconic images from over 25 years of traveling. Alongside each image is an accompanying explanation as to why he took it. Chris believes that taking great pictures requires the mind, not just the knowledge of science or of which lens does what. “It is about engaging that part of the brain which feels for the picture, that learns how to see it coming and then, in that critical instant, makes all the decisions from the heart. No book of technique will help you at the crucial moment. That type of advice has to be far behind you when you are poised finger on button. This is just you, alone, at the only moment in all time when, if you feel it, the picture may be there. It’s not spiritual. Equally it’s not scientific or empirical. It is artistic. That fusion of all disciplines which some of our species can manifest as a great gift.” As a young scientist, Chris Packham studied kestrels, shrews and badgers, and later studied zoology at Southampton University. Post graduation he began taking photographs and trained as a wildlife film cameraman. He has hosted several BBC nature series, and is the author of The Practical Naturalist.

Why Does My Parrot . . . ? Second edition Rosemary Low “When you are buying your new bird and its cage and toys, make sure this book is part of your purchases. It will save a lot of headaches at a later date, and you will love reading it.” —Cage & Aviary Birds “Parrot authority Rosemary Low seeks to prevent many common problems owners have . . . The A-to-Z format makes it an easy reference tool.” —Bird Talk This trusted reference downplays the usefulness of positive and negative reinforcement in teaching parrots—and calls instead for well-informed owners, lots of stimulation, and empathetic handling Parrots are sensitive creatures whose intelligence is often grossly underrated and, as a result, frequently exhibit behavior that is misunderstood by their owners. This reference guide to owning a parrot answers questions about problems and tensions between these feathered creatures and their owners. The basic elements of parrot psychology are explained, as are environmental factors that can cause biting, screaming, and feather plucking. Case studies of specific relationships are used to illustrate both good and bad examples of the pet/owner relationship. Rosemary Low is the author of The Parrot Companion and has been the curator of two of the world’s largest parrot collections. She was the editor of PsittaScene for 15 years.

123 All Things Strange and Wonderful My Adventures as a Vet in Africa Dr. Reb Dr. Reb went to Malawi with the Peace Corps hoping for an adventure—he didn’t expect that saving two puppies and teaching a local girl to become a chess champion would transform his life forever As a newly graduated vet Dr. Reb signed up for a two-year stint with the Peace Corp Volun- teers, and found himself in Malawi. A national fuel shortage meant no delivery of supplies, and he had to improvise at every turn. Then he was introduced to a local witch doctor, Dr. Mzimba, and two very sick puppies, Skippy and Bozo. After shaking my hand, Dr. Mzimba took hold of both of my wrists and turned them over so that the palms faced upward. As he studied them, they began to tingle. The Peace Corps had given me extensive crosscultural training, but I didn’t recall anything about greetings of this nature. Then he stared into my eyes and while the tingling in my hands began to fade, my cheeks now felt as if an electrical charge was passing through them. Through a smile that filled his face, he said, “I’ve been waiting a long time for you, Dokotala.” So began Dr. Reb’s strange and wonderful adventures, where he discovered that in Africa anything can happen and usually does, especially when puppies become your companions in body as well as spirit. Dr. Reb is an American citizen currently residing in Western Australia with his family. He has a degree in veterinary science and is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Asso- ciations. His adventures in Malawi were the result of a stint with the Peace Corp.

Hercules the Bear A Gentle Giant in the Family Maggie Robin A story so fantastic it is scarcely credible, this unique tale possesses an emotionally riveting core similar to that which made H is for Hawk such a sensational success When Scottish Ladies Show-Jumping Champion Maggie Nimmo married British Common- wealth Wrestling Champion Andy Robin, she knew that her family would be unusual, for with Andy came a nine-month old grizzly bear. Maggie Robin, Hercules’s adopted mother, started writing this account of her family while in the depths of despair, during those long hours when her “son” Herc was lost, apparently gone forever, in the wild and unforgiving terrain of the island of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides. This new and completely revised edition brings the story up to date, telling of the bear’s many appearances in advertisements, films, and on television until, once again, disaster struck, when he was nearly crippled by damage to his spine. Maggie’s account relates how she and Andy slowly nursed Hercules back to health, partly through swimming exercises until, in the fullness of time, he died at the age of 25. His death left the Robins bereft, but in time they came to realize just how much Hercules had taught them and others, and the debt they owed him. Told in Maggie’s own words, this is the extraordinary story of how she and Andy achieved what everyone said was impossible: the domestication of “the fiercest animal in the New World.” Maggie, Andy, and Herc proved the experts wrong, and in doing so have become folk heroes in their own time. Here is their story. Maggie Robin is a former Scottish Ladies Show-Jumping Champion who, together with her husband, British Commonwealth Wrestling Champion Andy Robin, raised a grizzly bear cub named Hercules as part of her family.

That had to count for something.” Peter Berner has created a collection of humorous illustrations which take a very droll look at modern life from the perspective of a very ordinary man who has no desire to be anything but very ordinary. Peter Berner is one of Australia’s most popular and respected media entertainers, stand-up comics and corporate performers. Peter has written and performed solo comedy in both Aus- tralia and the UK since 1988.

127 Dimly Lit Meals for One Heartbreaking Tales of Sad Food and Even Sadder Lives Tom Kennedy “DLMFO will make you laugh until you’re no longer hungry.” —Washington Post “One man’s quest to chronicle the most depressing dinners on the internet.” —Buzzfeed An anthology of despair for all the people out there who have ever seasoned a dish with the bitter salt of their own tears Consider the top image. A plate of chick peas and plain spaghetti, accompanied—we can only assume—by the mournful, haunting wail of a conch. Based on the popular Tumblr, this book features never-before-seen photographs of humanity at its lowest culinary ebb, accompanied by tragicomic stories that will either leave you crying with laughter, or just crying. You’ll meet a cast of colorless characters trapped in a kitchen hell of their own devising, witness their struggles to fulfill their recommended five a day, and marvel at how much human misery can be heaped onto a single plate. Fuelled by the author’s first-hand experience at the dark heart of miserable food photography, Dimly Lit Meals for One is the culmination of one man’s quest to chronicle the exact op- posite of food porn. Bigger, sadder, and funnier than ever before, this book serves up bite-sized portions of hilarity and heartbreak alongside some of the most inept food photography ever seen. Tom Kennedy started Dimly Lit Meals for One in 2014, and it was named one of Mashable’s top 25 viral blogs for the year. His writing has been featured on vice.com.

128 Is it in Yet? The Big Book of Sexual Failures Mark Leigh and Jim Rickards Sexual failures of the world, unite! With a compendium of the most stunning sexual hu- miliations in recorded history, now is the time to stand up and be counted (or measured). A celebration of sexual failures, Is it in Yet? is an antidote to all those self-help books obsessed with sexual performance. These bizarre but true tales of sexual stupidity and strange- ness include the perils of having sex with a hot lasagna, the couple who suffocated while making love in the back of a hearse, the flasher who only exposed himself to department store mannequins, the man who mistook superglue for lubricant, the man who married his horse (and gave her lingerie), and such alarming fetishes as clowns, falling down stairs and licking eyeballs. Let’s not forget the couple who were run over by the New York sub- way after having impromptu sex on a mattress they threw on the tracks, or the man from California who had an experimental electronic penile implant inserted, which would give erections upon the press of a button—or whenever his next-door neighbor used his electric garage door. If it’s deviant, disturbing or just plain dumb, it’s in this weird, wild, wonderfully awkward collection. Mark Leigh is the author of How to Chat Someone Up at a Funeral and Epic Fail.

129 Prick with a Fork Larissa Dubecki A hilarious and horrific expose of the restaurant industry from the waiter’s POV If a bad attitude could be subject to copyright, my ten years as a waiter would have left me obscenely wealthy. Working the floor, I was the Kerry Packer of passive aggression. Sullen insolence was my personal trademark, diligently honed and perfected over time. For a long list of perceived diner slights—ranging from ordering the tomato sauce separately to the fries, to calling me ‘dear’—I could perform a Jekyll and Hyde switch into the most perfunc- tory, robotic and joyless server the world has ever seen. If I didn’t like a group of people I would endeavour to do my very best to ensure that the only thing left of their night was a cold, dry husk. That I regularly used something I privately referred to as the ‘Dead Eyes’ should reveal plenty. Before she was one of Australia’s top restaurant critics, Larissa Dubecki was one of its worst waitresses. This loving homage to her 10-year reign of dining-room terror covers psycho- pathic chefs, lecherous owners, impossible demands, and insufferable customers—just the start of an average shift. Therapy for former waiters, a revelation to diners, and pure reading pleasure for anyone interested in what really happens out the back of the restaurant, Prick with a Fork is an hilarious and horrific dissection of the restaurant industry, combining the gritty take-no-prisoners attack of Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential with the gross confessions and forensic grunge of John Birmingham’s He Died with a Felafel in His Hand. Larissa Dubecki has been the chief restaurant critic and food writer for The Age and The Age Good Food Guide, as well as a restaurant critic for Australian Gourmet Traveller. She has appeared on MasterChef a number of times, and has been a judge on Iron Chef Australia. From 1991 to 2002 she was also a very bad waitress.

Unchosen Julie Burchill “A joy to behold. . . . Any Jew who feels anxious in these days of palpable anti-semitism ought to read this book. It’s funny, and we all need a laugh. But more importantly, it’s a timely reminder that no, my friends, you do not walk alone.” —Jewish Chronicle “I’m afraid I can’t really dignify her latest offering with the ascription “book.” —Will Self, Guardian “’Riotous . . . currently my on-tour bedside companion.” —Bryan Ferry, Daily Mail A hilarious and heartfelt memoir from a controversial journalist, on the great love of her life, the Jewish people What if your first love was not one person but an entire culture? This is a loud and heartfelt celebration of one woman’s relationship with the Jewish people. Growing up as a blonde, popular, West Country schoolgirl, Julie Burchill was the unlikeliest convert to militant Zi- onism but learning of the cruelty the Jewish people faced throughout history turned her into their biggest champion. From her marriage to a “not Jewish enough husband” to drunken holidays in Israel, arguments with lesbian rabbis to being banned from her local synagogue, this is a brilliantly funny and unflinchingly honest account of a philo-Semite that will shock and delight in equal parts. Join Julie as she examines her 40-year obsession with the Jewish people and recounts a love affair that is as hedonistic, passionate and outspoken as its author. Julie Burchill started work aged just 17 at New Musical Express and has since had a long and impressive career in journalism, writing for many publications on various topics such as punk music, film reviews and feminism Julie has written more than a dozen books, including Sugar Rush.

How to Be a Dog Maxwell Woofington’s Guide to Living with Humans and Getting the Upper Paw Maxwell Woofington and Mark Leigh Discover what your dog really thinks about you with this humorous guide to the world as seen through a dog’s eyes Written by a dog, and with helpful additions by other dogs, How to Be a Dog is essential reading, not just for all canines but also for their owners and dog lovers alike, providing an insight into their pet’s sometimes curious behavior. As you’d expect from a book written by a dog about humans, it’s irreverent, cynical, and disrespectful. Dogs provide helpful observations and advice on specific issues: for example, how to retain any semblance of self-esteem while wearing the “Cone of Shame” anti-scratch collar, or how to really frustrate your owner when playing “fetch.” How to Be a Dog is the official rule book of the doggie world, a hilarious guide for living with humans, and always getting the upper paw.

Alfred the Great Barbara Yorke Why King Alfred was “the Great” in his own day, in later centuries and today Why is Alfred “the Great?” A simple answer is that he has been seen as a man who saved England, invented English identity and pioneered English as a written language. He is the first Englishman for whom a biography survives, so we know more about Alfred and his ideals than we do for most people who lived over 1,000 years ago. A slightly longer answer would say that things are a bit more complicated, and that one reason Alfred seems to be so “great” was that he made sure we were told that he was. To get the measure of Alfred we need to look at what he actually managed to achieve. Can we resurrect the “real” King Alfred? Even if we have to part company with some of the Victorian adulation, we are still left with a pretty impressive and surprising person. Barbara Yorke is the author of Kings and Kingdoms of Early Anglo-Saxon England.

King Arthur Nick Higham One of the world’s best-known, iconic and accessible royal figures Why is King Arthur a giant? Because his story has had such strong influences on our understanding of the history of Europe and the English-speaking world. Because the debate about Arthur as a historical figure has been central to understanding the fall of Roman Britain and the formation of England for much of the last 1,300 years. Because Arthur is one of the best-known kings in world history, whose reign was viewed as a golden age, an epoch in which to center tales of right and wrong, of faith and faithlessness, and of courage and falseness, the moral and spiritual values of which continue to resonate today not least among those who dismiss Arthur as a late literary construct. Because an understanding of Arthur and all the different things he has meant to scores of generations up to the present is fundamental to our understanding of our own past, our understanding of ourselves and the ways in which we can benefit from history. Nick Higham is the author of Britons in Anglo-Saxon England. Biography/History • 128 Pages • 5 x 8 • 9780750959216 • July • $12.95 (Can $15.95) Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • The History Press

Hannibal and Scipio Greg Fisher Two of the most important figures in the ancient world—and two implacable adver- saries In 218, Hannibal Barca, desperate to avenge the defeat of Carthage in the First Punic War, launched an ambitious ground invasion of Italy. With just a small force, he crossed the Alps and pitted his polyglot army against Rome’s elite citizen infantry. At Cannae, in 216, Hannibal destroyed an 80,000-strong Roman force in one afternoon, delivering a blow unequalled in Roman history for half a millennium to come. The Romans had no answer to Hannibal until the young Scipio volunteered to take over Rome’s armies in Spain. In the decade which followed, Scipio turned Rome’s desperate fortunes into a stunning victory over Carthage. The portrait of Hannibal and Scipio takes the reader through one of the greatest military campaigns in history, driven by two remarkable and fascinating men.

Edward Jenner Rob Boddice An arresting account of a medical life and heroic legacy Edward Jenner is a giant of modern medicine. Throughout history, smallpox plagued humanity as an incurable blight, the suffering of which Jenner helped bring to an end. Surmising from milkmaids’ immunity that cowpox might defend against smallpox, in 1793 he inserted some of the matter from a human case of cowpox into a boy’s arms. He subsequently inoculated the boy with smallpox itself, and found him to be immune. In 1979 smallpox was declared extinct. This is the story of Jenner’s life and his profound legacy of medical experimentation, public health provision, and the prevention of other diseases, from anthrax to measles. Rob Boddice edited Pain and Emotion in Modern History. He lives part time in Montreal.

Isaac Newton Andrew May One of the greatest figures in the history of science Isaac Newton believed everything in the physical universe could be described using mathematical relationships. His law of gravity explained why objects fall downwards, how the moon causes the tides, and why planets and comets orbit the sun. While his work has been added to over the years, his basic approach remains at the heart of the scientific worldview. Yet Newton also believed the universe was created to a precise and rational design—a design that was fully understood by the earliest people. Newton considered it his life’s work to rediscover this knowledge. In chasing his impossible goal, Newton managed to contribute more to our understanding of the universe than anyone else in history. Andrew May went to the same Cambridge college, Trinity, as Sir Isaac Newton. After gaining his first degree in Natural Sciences he went on to do a PhD in astrophysics at Manchester University. He now works in defense science. Biography/Science • 128 Pages • 5 x 8 • 9780750962322 • June • $12.95 (Can $15.95) Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • The History Press

Napoleon William Doyle One of the most captivating and influential figures in modern European history In the space of less than 20 years, Napoleon turned Europe upside down. Rising from obscure origins to supreme power by a mixture of luck, audacity and military genius, he was able to harness the energies released by the French Revolution to resolve the internal problems which it had created, before turning his restless ambition to remodeling the political structure of the whole continent in a series of brilliant military victories. He was never able to finally subdue all his foreign enemies, and in the end they came together to bring him down; but by then it was impossible to restore what he had destroyed, or, in France, to destroy much of what he had created. The memory of his epic exploits, carefully refashioned during his last years in exile, haunted Europe for over a century, while the more distant effects of his career changed the whole destiny of the Americas and of the world. William Doyle is the author of 15 books, including The Oxford History of the French Revolution.

Giuseppe Verdi Daniel Snowman A man whose life intersected with the heroic struggle for Italian independence Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901) was the Shakespeare of opera, the composer of Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Aida and Otello. The chorus of Hebrew slaves from Nabucco (1842) is regarded in Italy as virtually an alternative national anthem, and the great tra- gedian rounded off his career 50 years later with a rousing comedy, Falstaff. When Verdi was born, much of northern Italy was under Napoleonic rule, and he grew up dreaming of a peninsula governed by Italians. When this was achieved, in 1861, he became a deputy in the first all-Italian parliament. Verdi died in 1901, mourned as the emodiment of the nation he’d helped create.

Robert the Bruce Fiona Watson An arresting account of the life of the hero of Scotland From disastrous beginnings after he took the throne of Scotland, having murdered a powerful rival, Robert I became a military leader of consummate genius. Throwing away the rule- book of medieval warfare, which favored the mounted knight, he remodelled the Scottish army as a disciplined, audacious band of brothers capable of surprising castles, raiding and extracting blackmail as far south as Yorkshire and even defeating a mighty English army in pitched battle. Ruthless, charismatic, indomitable and lucky, the ‘Bruce’ is a towering example of an underdog capable of turning disadvantage into advantage and winning the day through talent and sheer determination. The English turned the lessons they learnt from him to good effect in their Hundred Years war against France. Fiona Watson is a writer, historian and broadcaster living on the edge of the Scottish mountains rather too near the site of the battle of Bannockburn. Her most recent book was Macbeth: A True Story.

Henry V From Playboy Prince to Warrior King Anne Curry A vivid new interpretation of his reign Henry V’s invasion of France, in August 1415, represented a huge gamble. As heir to the throne, he had been a failure, cast into the political wilderness amid rumors that he planned to depose his father. Despite a complete change of character as king—founding monasteries, persecuting heretics, and enforcing the law to its extremes—little had gone right since. He was insecure in his kingdom, his reputation low. On the eve of his departure for France, he uncovered a plot by some of his closest associates to remove him from power. Agincourt was a battle that Henry should not have won—but he did, and the rest is history. Within five years, he was heir to the throne of France. Anne Curry explores how Henry’s hyperactive efforts to expunge his past failures, and his experience of crisis—which threatened to ruin everything he had struggled to achieve—defined his kingship, and how his astonishing success at Agincourt transformed his standing in the eyes of his contemporaries, and of all generations to come. Anne Curry is the author of Agincourt: A New History and Caesar’s Gallic Wars. A former President of the Historical Association, she is chair of the Agincourt 600 Committee in conjunction with the Royal Armouries.

Stephen The Reign of Anarchy Carl Watkins A resonant new portrait of the ruler Known as ‘the anarchy’, the reign of Stephen (1135-1141) saw England plunged into a civil war that illuminated the fatal flaw in the powerful Norman monarchy: without rules ordering succession, conflict within William the Conqueror’s family was inevitable. But there was another problem: Stephen himself. With the nobility of England and Norman- dy anxious about the prospect of a world without the tough love of the old king Henry I, Stephen styled himself a political panacea—a promise he was unable to keep. Unable to transcend his flawed claim to the throne, Stephen’s actions betrayed his uneasiness. As Watkins shows here, the resulting violence throughout England arose from the struggle to navigate a new and turbulent kind of politics.

William II The Red King John Gillingham An elegant new look at the Red King William II (1087-1100), or William Rufus, will always be most famous for his death: killed by an arrow while out hunting, perhaps through accident or perhaps murder. But, as John Gillingham makes clear in this biography, as the son and successor to William the Conqueror it was William Rufus who had to establish permanent Norman rule. A ruthless, irascible man, he frequently argued acrimoniously with his older brother Robert over their father’s inheritance—but he also handed out effective justice, leaving as his legacy one of the most extraordinary of all medieval buildings, Westminster Hall.

But who were they? Peter Jones tells their epic story by breaking down each major period into a series of informative nuggets. Along the way he introduces the major figures of the age, including Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Euclid and Archimedes; explores the Greek myths and the role of the gods; provides fascinating insights into everyday life in ancient times; and shows us the very foundations of Western culture.

173 Medieval Graffiti The Lost Voices of England’s Churches Matthew Champion Decoding the secret language of the churches of England through medieval carved mark- ings and personal etchings on church walls For centuries carved writings and artworks in churches lay largely unnoticed. So archaeologist Matthew Champion started a nationwide survey to gather the best examples. In this book he shines a spotlight on a forgotten world of ships, prayers for good fortune, satirical cartoons, charms, curses, windmills, word puzzles, architectural plans and heraldic designs. Drawing on examples from surviving medieval churches in England, the author gives a voice to the secret graffiti artists: from the lord of the manor and the parish priest to the people who built the church itself. Here are strange medieval beasts, knights battling unseen dragons, ships sailing across lime-washed oceans and demons who stalk the walls. Latin prayers for the dead jostle with medieval curses, builders’ accounts and slanderous comments concerning a long-dead archdeacon. Strange and complex geometric designs, created to ward off the “evil eye” and thwart the works of the devil, share church pillars with the heraldic shields of England’s medieval nobility. Matthew Champion studied history and landscape archaeology at the University of East Anglia. As a freelance archaeologist he is widely regarded as England’s leading expert on medieval graffiti inscriptions, and has worked with organizations such as English Heritage and the National Trust, as well as writing and lecturing extensively upon the subject. Mat- thew is currently Project Director of the multi-award winning Norfolk and Suffolk Medieval Graffiti Survey.

After the Fire London Churches in the Age of Wren, Hawksmoor and Gibbs Angelo Hornak In order to rebuild after the Great Fire of London, architects were called upon, including Christopher Wren, who crafted a variety of cathedrals and churches to replace those lost The Great Fire that swept through London in 1666 is estimated to have destroyed at least 13,000 houses and some 88 churches, including St. Paul’s Cathedral. But this tragedy had a silver lining: it presented Christopher Wren with the opportunity to create one of the most impressive groups of buildings in the history of architecture. In 1667, Wren was appointed Surveyor in charge of rebuilding the churches. In the years that followed—and with the assis- tance of, among others, Nicholas Hawksmoor and Robert Hooke—he rebuilt St. Paul’s and 51 churches. There is extraordinary variety in the solutions he adopted to solve the problem of building rational, classical buildings on irregular medieval sites. He also had the good fortune of being able to call on craftsmen of exquisite skill. The other central event in the story of London’s churches is the Fifty New Churches Act of 1710. Fifty was optimistic; but the dozen or so “Queen Anne Churches” which resulted from the Act were wonderful. The book closes with the more restrained churches built by James Gibbs, whose St. Martin-in- the-Fields, completed in 1724, became the prototype for many colonial churches, especially in North America, over the next 100 years. Angelo Hornak is an architectural photographer whose books include London from the Thames.

Probably not, because in these modern times everyone is very knowing—knowledge is at our fingertips and it sometimes feels as if there is nothing new to discover. The awe and excitement from that moment has been lost because these objects and experiences have become ordinary to us. But, if we travel back in time a few hundred years, before the age of globaliza- tion, people were encountering new foods, animals, plants, peoples and cultures for the first time as overseas trade routes opened up. Compiled from the archives of the British Library, this new book reflects the wonderment and curiosity of these new experiences. Claire Cock-Starkey was series editor for all seven editions of Schott’s Almanac. Her most recent book is How to Skin a Lion.

Medieval & Renaissance Interiors Eva Oledzka The interiors inhabited by people in the Middle Ages and Renaissance as told to us by illuminated manuscripts—a major reference on a little-studied subject Illuminated manuscripts are an excellent source of information about the interiors inhabited by people in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Artists regularly depicted the castles and palaces of the ruling classes, as well as the houses of ordinary people—merchants, craftsmen and peasants. This attractive new book is the first to study the subject in such depth, and it uncovers a wealth of little-known illuminations that help us to learn more about life at home, in workshops and elsewhere. The author presents manuscript miniatures as illustrations to an account of house interiors which includes their architectural features (such as windows, doors or fireplaces), furniture and other household objects. She concentrates on the social, cultural and stylistic aspects of Gothic domestic settings and presents them in the context of their Romanesque antecedents and Renaissance successors. Eva Oledzka is Special Collections and Western Manuscripts reference librarian at the Bodle- ian Library, University of Oxford. Her primary interests and her doctoral research are in the field of representations of European architecture, domestic interiors and material culture in late medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts. She holds postgraduate degrees in Medieval and Later Archaeology, English Medieval Studies, Heritage Management and Museum Studies.

177 Tudor Monarchs Lives in Letters Andrea Clarke An unprecedented personal glimpse into the Tudor court, through their own words The Tudor period (1485-1603) is a story of drama, intrigue and tumultuous change but also of triumphs and progress, and it saw the emergence of an English national identity. Four hundred years after the Tudor era ended with the death of Elizabeth I, this extraordinary period in English history still fascinates and captures the public imagination like no other. The Tudor kings and queens remain the most well-known and fascinating English dynasty. The enormous increase in the quantity of surviving documents from Henry VIII’s reign onwards means that the Tudor period is the first in English history to be so thoroughly documented in manuscript form. The British Library holds an incredibly rich and important collection of Tudor letters which enables this book to tell their story in their own words, their own handwriting, a close up look at a world of turbulent political scheming and grand, sometimes destructive love affairs. The selection in this book includes famous letters about major historical turning-points as well as unpublished eyewitness accounts by the key players in 16th-century life. Andrea Clarke is Lead Curator of Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts at the British Library. She co-curated the exhibition Henry VIII: Man and Monarch with David Starkey in 2009, and is the author of Love Letters: 2000 Years of Romance.

178 Red Roses Blanche of Gaunt to Margaret Beaufort Amy Licence The first collective biography of the women of the Lancastrian family The Wars of the Roses were not just fought by men on the battlefield. There were daughters, wives, mistresses, mothers and queens whose lives and influences helped shape the most dramatic of English conflicts. This book traces the women’s stories on the Lancastrian side, from the children of Blanche, wife of John of Gaunt, through the turbulent 15th century to the advent of Margaret Beaufort’s son in 1509, and establishment of the Tudor dynasty. From Katherine Swynford and Catherine of Valois’s secret liaisons to the love lives of Mary de Bohun and Jacquetta of Luxembourg, to the Queenship of Joan of Navarre and Margaret of Anjou, this book explores how these extraordinary women survived in extraordinary times. Amy Licence is an award-winning author and historian whose books include Cecily Neville: Mother of Kings and The Six Wives & Many Mistresses of Henry VIII.

The Third Plantagenet George, Duke of Clarence, Richard III’s Brother John Ashdown-Hill From the author of The Last Days of Richard III comes the first full biography of George, Duke of Clarence—now in paperback George, Duke of Clarence has had so little written about him, that historians face many questions: Where was he born? What was he like? What set him against his brother Edward IV? He played a central role in the Wars of the Roses—but was he for York or Lancaster? Is the story of his drowning in a barrel of wine—as in Richard III—true? And was “false, fleeting, perjur’d Clarence” in some ways the role model behind the 16th-century defamation of Richard III? Finally, where was he buried and what became of his body? Can the DNA used recently to test the remains of his younger brother, Richard III, also reveal the truth about the supposed “Clarence bones” in Tewkesbury? John Ashdown-Hill exposes the myths surrounding this pivotal and central Plantagenet, with remarkable results. John Ashdown-Hill is a historian and the author of The Last Days of Richard III. He has appeared on NPR and the Smithsonian Channel as an expert on Richard III.

Insurrection Henry VIII, Thomas Cromwell and the Pilgrimage of Grace Susan Loughlin Reexamine Tudor England’s largest and most significant rebellion Autumn 1536. Both Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn are dead. Henry VIII has married Jane Seymour, and still awaits his longed-for male heir. Disaffected conservatives in England may have seen an opportunity for a return to Rome and an end to religious experimentation. However, Thomas Cromwell has other ideas. In August, the Lutheran influenced Ten Articles of the Anglican Church was published and the dissolution of the monasteries had started. The obstinate monarch, enticed by monastic wealth, is determined not to change course. Fear and resentment has been unleashed in northern England in the largest, spontaneous uprising against a Tudor monarch. That rebellion is the Pilgrimage of Grace, in which 30,000 men have taken up arms against the king. This book reviews the evidence for that opposition and examines the abundant examples of religiously motivated dissent. It also highlights the rhetoric, reward and retribution used by the Crown to enforce its policy. Susan Loughlin holds a PhD in History from the National University of Ireland, Galway.

Wolsey The Life of King Henry VIII’s Cardinal John Matusiak An evocative, long overdue biography of Tudor England’s most fascinating statesman Wolsey is, arguably, the first comprehensive book to explore the many contrasting layers of Thomas Wolsey’s life and career, and represents the first genuinely popular biography of the much-maligned cardinal to appear in more than 30 years. Making no assumptions, it looks at the real person in the cold light of his actions, and uncovers a man of contradictions and extremes whose meteoric rise was marked by an equally inexorable descent into desperation, as he attempted in vain to satisfy the tempestuous master whose ambition ultimately broke him. Far from being one more familiar portrait of an overweight and overweening spider or another cautionary tale of pride preceding a fall, this is the gripping story of how consummate talent, noble intentions, and an eagle eye for the main chance can contrive with the vagaries of power politics to raise an individual to unheard of heights before finally consuming him. John Matusiak is the author of Henry VIII and the forthcoming The Tudors in 100 Objects.

180 The Other Tudor Princess Margaret Douglas, Henry VIII’s Niece Mary McGrigor The first history of Henry VIII’s beloved niece and one-time heir to the throne A shadowy and mysterious character in Tudor history, Margaret Douglas now takes center stage in this tale of the bitter struggle for power during the reign of Henry VIII. Margaret is Henry’s niece, and finds herself in favor with her uncle. In 1536, when the King turns against his second wife Anne Boleyn, he declares his daughters Mary and Elizabeth, bastards—and appoints Margaret as his heir to the throne. But when he discovers Margaret’s love affair with Anne Boleyn’s uncle, Henry imprisons her and her lover in the Tower. Through Marga- ret’s marriage of her son, Lord Darnley, to his cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, she unites their claims to the throne, but under the reign of Elizabeth tragedy strikes again when Lord Darn- ley is murdered, possibly by his wife. As Margaret reaches old age, her place in the dynasty is still not safe, and she dies in mysterious circumstances. Mary McGrigor is the author of Wellington’s Spies and Anna, Countess of the Covenant.

James I Scotland’s King of England John Matusiak A compelling popular biography of England’s first Stuart ruler Few kings have been more savagely caricatured or grossly misunderstood than England’s first Stuart. Yet, as this new biography demonstrates, the modern tendency to downplay his defects and minimize the longer term consequences of his reign has gone too far. For, in spite of genuine idealism and flashes of considerable resourcefulness, James I remains a perplexing figure. A flawed, if well-meaning, foreigner in a rapidly changing and divided kingdom, his passionate commitment to time-honoured principles of government would, ironically, prove his undoing, as England edged unconsciously towards the crossroads and the shadow of the Thirty Years War descended like a pall upon Europe. John Matusiak is a frequent contributor to History Review and History Today, and is the author of Henry V, Henry VIII, The Tudors in 100 Objects, and Wolsey.

James II King in Exile John Callow “Impressively researched and stylishly written . . . the most perceptive and detailed biography we have . . . of any of the Stuart monarchs.” —Daily Telegraph A new edition of an evocative, intriguing biography For 11 years, from his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in July 1690 until his death in 1701, James II lived in one of the most spectacular baroque palaces in Europe, holding court as a king in exile. This period is almost completely ignored by those writing about James and yet it was the period which set in train the rise in Jacobitism and allowed James to attempt to fashion the opportunity for his comeback as rightful king. This book reassesses James’s strategy for dealing with his downfall and presents a portrait of a man who planned for himself great political rewards. That these plans did not materialize was the result of the changing perception of monarchy in Britain but James left a lasting legacy in the form of Jacobitism on the one hand and a deep suspicion of Catholic monarchs on the other. John Callow is the author of The Making of King James II.

181 Life Below Stairs In the Victorian & Edwardian Country House Siân Evans From the cook, butler and housekeeper to the footman, lady’s maid and nanny, a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of some of Britain’s grandest houses, in a smaller format reissue The largely untold stories of innumerable, rather humble, lives spent “in service” are lying just below the surface of many great houses; the physical evidence can be seen in surviving servants’ quarters, the material of their everyday life, even their uniforms and possessions. This account provides a fascinating glimpse at who’s who behind the scenes, from the cook, butler and housekeeper to the footmen, lady’s maids, governesses and tutors, nannies and nursemaids. Offering insight into the hierarchy within the servant’s quarters, from the power-wielding cook to the ever-discreet butler, this guide discusses how relationships were forged and changed as the gap between upstairs and downstairs was bridged. Describing their typical working day as well as the holidays, entertainments and pastimes enjoyed on a rare day off, not to mention the whirl of the social season, this previously unwritten history recalls vividly the nature of their lives below stairs. A bygone era is brought to life through letters, journals, interviews, lively descriptions and stunning photography of the places and possessions left behind. Siân Evans is a cultural historian who has worked for the National Trust, The Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum. She is author of Pattern Design and Ghosts: Mys- terious Tales from the National Trust.

London: A Travel Guide Through Time Matthew Green Step back in time and discover the sights, sounds and smells of London through the ages in this enthralling journey into the capital’s rich, teeming and occasionally hazardous past Let time traveler Dr. Matthew Green be your guide to six extraordinary periods in London’s history—the ages of Shakespeare, medieval city life, plague, coffee houses, the reign of Vic- toria and the Blitz. We’ll turn back the clock to the time of Shakespeare and visit a savage bull and bear baiting arena on the Bankside. In medieval London, we’ll circle the walls as the city lies barricaded under curfew, while spinning further forward in time we’ll inhale the ‘holy herb’ in an early tobacco house, before peering into an open plague pit. In the 18th century, we’ll navigate the streets in style with a ride on a sedan chair, and when we land in Victorian London, we’ll take a tour of freak-show booths and meet the Elephant Man. You’ll meet pornographers and traitors, actors and apothecaries, the mad, bad and dangerous to know, all desperate to show you the thrilling and vibrant history of the world’s liveliest city. Dr. Matthew Green is an historian and broadcaster, with a PhD in the history of London from Oxford University. He writes historical features for the Telegraph and Guardian, appears in documentaries on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, and gives talks all over London.

182 Shakespeare’s Bastard The Life of Sir William Davenant Simon Andrew Stirling A study of a poet who made significant strides to securing Shakespeare’s reputation, culminating with the answer to the question: was he Shakespeare’s natural son? Sir William Davenant (1606-1668)—Poet Laureate and English Civil War hero—is one of the most influential and neglected figures in the history of British theater. He introduced “opera,” actresses, scenes, and the proscenium arch to the English stage. Narrowly escaping execution for his Royalist activities during the English Civil War, he revived theatrical performances in London, right under Oliver Cromwell’s nose. Davenant was known to boast over a glass of wine that he wrote “with the very spirit” of Shakespeare and was happy to be thought of as Shakespeare’s son. By recounting the story of his eventful life backwards, through his many trials and triumphs, this biography culminates with a fresh examination of the issue of Davenant’s paternity. Was his mother the voluptuous and maddening “Dark Lady,” and was he Shakespeare’s “lovely boy?” Simon Andrew Stirling is the author of The King Arthur Conspiracy and Who Killed William Shakespeare? The Murderer, the Motive, the Means. History/Drama • 256 Pages • 6 x 9 • 20 B/W Illustrations • 9780750961073 • May $23.95 (Can $28.95) • Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • The History Press

Betsy and the Emperor Anne Whitehead The little known story of how the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte ingratiated himself with an English family on the South Atlantic island of St. Helena After Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, he was sent into exile on Saint Helena—reduced from the most powerful figure in Europe to a prisoner on a rock in the South Atlantic. But the fallen emperor was charmed by the pretty teenage daughter of a local merchant, Betsy Balcombe. Anne Whitehead brings to life Napoleon’s last years on Saint Hel- ena, revealing the central role of the Balcombe family. She also lays to rest two centuries of speculation about Betsy’s relationship with Napoleon. With her extraordinary connections to royalty and high society, Betsy Balcombe led a life worthy of a Regency romance, but she was always fighting for her independence. This account reveals Napoleon at his most vulnerable and reflective, and a woman caught in some of the most dramatic events of her time. Anne Whitehead is the author of Bluestocking in Patagonia and Paradise Mislaid, which was winner of the NSW Premier’s Award for Australian History.

183 PENGUIN SPECIALS While for many, World War I was a European war, its battles were fought as far away as the Shantung Peninsula in northeastern China, and its legacy continues to reverberate in the modern geopolitical relationships that the world’s biggest rising power has with its neighbors. To mark the centenary of World War I, Penguin China assembled a series of Specials by the world’s top China hands that bring a fresh perspective to the conflict.

Betrayal in Paris How the Treaty of Versailles Led to China’s Long Revolution Paul French “A marvelous initiative; of a strong collection, Paul French’s Betrayal in Paris may be the most thought-provoking to date. . . . The combination of [its] brevity, French’s smooth, easy-to-read prose and the thought-provoking implications would make it an excellent text for stimulating debate in regional history and politics classes.” —Asian Review on the series At the conclusion of ‘the war to end war’, the victors set about redesigning the world map at the Paris Peace Conference. For China, Versailles presented an opportunity to regain territory lost to Japan. Yet, the country was to be severely disappointed. This study explores China’s betrayal by the West, the charismatic advocates it sent to the conference and the hugely significant May Fourth Movement that resulted from the treaty. Paul French is author of Midnight In Peking, for which he won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime, and North Korea: The Paranoid Peninsula.

Chinese Labour Corps The Forgotten Chinese Labourers of the First World War Mark O’Neill A rare look at how and why more than 100,000 Chinese laborers worked to help the Allies As the young men of Europe were fighting in the trenches, a little known contingent of Chinese laborers crossed the world to provide support vital to the Allied war effort. Largely illiterate farmers from northern China, these men were simply attempting to make a better life for themselves, ignorant of the war and its causes. Under brutal conditions many died for their efforts, and their involvement wasn’t recognized for decades— it is still not widely known. This book brings their story to light, describing in detail the laborers’ recruitment, their daily experiences in a foreign land and the horrific work they carried out, including the clearing of remains from battlefields. Mark O’Neill has been a journalist in Asia since 1978, working for Reuters and the South China Morning Post. His books include Tzu Chi: Serving with Compassion.

From the Tsar’s Railway to the Red Army The Experience of Chinese Labourers in Russia During the First World War and Bolshevik Revolution Mark O’Neill It is a little known fact that during World War I Russia received the majority of Chi- nese wartime laborers working overseas. Despite assurances that they would not be involved in the war, thousands of Chinese workers dug trenches and carried ammu- nition for troops on the Eastern Front under brutal conditions. Then, in 1917, life for the Chinese worsened with the Bolshevik Revolution’s arrival. Some of the workers signed up to fight for the Red Army and many were left stranded in Russia, unemployed and destitute. Their plight has been described as the most tragic episode in 400 years of Chinese emigration. The men had crossed the border into Russia with dreams of earning enough money to build a house or business for their family at home. None could have imagined the hell that awaited them.

Picnics Prohibited Diplomacy in a Chaotic China During the First World War Frances Wood A look at the ripple effects of World War I on the infant Chinese republic World War I came at an inopportune time for China. The country had joined a number of international organizations and ratified the Hague Conventions, but found its diplomatic efforts hampered by its young, inexperienced leadership, its factional regional divisions, and its foreign-controlled treaty ports and concessions. Unfortu- nately for the Chinese, representatives of combatant nations navigated a diplomatic tightrope between carrying out their patriotic duty to support war efforts and making sure their “hosts”, the Chinese, did not take advantage of the turbulence to upset the colonial pecking order. Frances Wood is former curator of Chinese Collections at the British Library. She is the author of China’s First Emperor and His Terra Cotta Warriors, The Diamond Sutra, and The Silk Road.

After serving in the British army during World War I, Ernest was drafted into the Communications Department of the UK Foreign Office, where he was charged with delivering encrypted messages to embassies and consulates around the world. Over the course of the next decade or so, Ernest was drawn deeper and deeper into the paranoid underworld of pre-Cold War espionage and into a double-life that became the darkest of secrets. Nick Barratt is a broadcaster and historian who has worked for various media organizations including the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? television series. Formerly a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and Editor in Chief of Your Family History magazine, he is also the author of Lost Voices of the Titanic.

Spynest British and German Espionage from Neutral Holland 1914 -1918 Edwin Ruis An explosive account of the competing spy networks that used the neutral Netherlands as their base in World War I After World War I broke out, the port city of Rotterdam in particular became a prolific breeding ground for secret agents and spies. The neutrality of the Netherlands, its geographical position in between the most powerful warring nations, and its proximity to the Western Front meant that British and German secret services both chose Holland as their main base for spying operations on each other. On neutral Dutch ground, newly established intelligence services learned the spy trade. Spynest tells the story of the secret agents involved, their Dutch hirelings, and the spies they recruited and sacrificed between August 1914 and November 1918. Edwin Ruis is a historian and the author of Gith Mission. Ruis writes regularly for the World at War magazine and has appeared on radio and TV discussing World War I. He has also lectured at public events and international conferences.

186 Elegy The First Day on the Somme Andrew Roberts The New York Times-bestselling author on the first day of the Somme Offensive On July 1, 1916, after a five-day bombardment, 11 British and five French divisions launched their long-awaited “Big Push” on German positions on high ground above the Rivers Ancre and Somme on the Western Front. Some ground was gained, but at a terrible cost. German machine-guns—manned by troops who had sat out the storm of shellfire in deep dugouts—inflicted terrible losses on the British infantry. The British Fourth Army lost 57,470 casualties, the French Sixth Army suffered 1,590 casualties, and the German 2nd Army 10,000. And this was but the prelude to 141 days of slaughter that would witness the deaths of between 750,000 and 1 million troops. Andrew Roberts evokes the pity and the horror of the blackest day in the history of the British army—a summer’s day turned hell on earth by modern military technology—in the words of casualties, survivors, and the bereaved. Andrew Roberts is a prize-winning historian, journalist, and broadcaster. His books include Masters and Commanders, Napoleon: A Life and The Storm of War.

The Monocled Mutineer Second edition William Allison and John Fairley One of the most secret events of WWI, complete with eyewitness accounts In 1917, as British troops were preparing for the Battle of Passchendaele, a mutiny broke out among the 100,000 soldiers at the Etaples training camp in Northern France. This mutiny was one of the most guarded secrets of WW1. Private Percy Toplis, a survivor of the Battle of Loos, had deserted from the Army Medical Corps before re-enlisting and he was accused as the ringleader of the mutiny. By this time he was back in England where he was living in disguise and was the most wanted man in England (suspected of murder and fraud) before being killed by a policeman in 1920. Drawing on extensive interviews with survivors of the mutiny as well as with friends and relatives of Percy Toplis, this updated edition includes a new introduction and epilogue that expand on newly discovered information about the events of the mutiny and the government’s response to it. William Allison worked extensively in Fleet Street and at BBC television news. John Fairley is the chairman of Highflyer Productions.

Wherever the Firing Line Extends An Irish Journey Along the Western Front Ronan McGreevy This comprehensive tour of the Western Front is a celebration of the Irish men who fought and died during World War I World War I was the biggest conflict in Irish history. More men served and more men died than in all the wars before or since that the Irish fought in. Often forgotten at home and written out of Irish history, the Irish soldiers and their regiments found themselves more honored in foreign fields. From the first shot monument in Mons to the plaque to the Royal Irish Lancers who liberated the town on Armistice Day 1918, Ronan McGreevy takes a tour of the Western Front. He visits those places where the Irish made their mark and left their mark in the monuments, cemeteries, and landscapes of France and Flanders. Ronan McGreevy is a senior journalist with the Irish Times. He writes a regular column and features, and produces video content for the Irish Times website to support his written pieces. For the purpose of this book he will be travelling around Europe as part of his work with the Irish Times and serialization of elements of this work in the Irish Times is planned.

Nevertheless, there was no shortage of young men willing to sacrifice themselves for their country. Some lied about their age to join up, not just at the start of the war when it was seen as a glorious adventure, but even towards the end, when the true horror of the mechanized butchery was known to one and all. This book concerns the young men who were not yet 20 when they won the Victoria Cross, the British armed forces highest award for gallantry. Many perished in the action that earned them the VC. Others survived to receive the award, but then went on to die later in the war. One was as young as 16. Several were just 18, though they were supposed to be 19 before they were allowed to serve overseas. They were sailors and airmen, as well as soldiers, and they came from Britain, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Nepal, and India. Each one demonstrat- ed an exceptional nerve and bravery. While some did survive World War I—even going on to serve in World War II—they showed an reckless indifference to death that made them Too Brave to Live, Too Young to Die. World War I has been over for nearly 100 years now, but the tales of their valor live on. These men and their exploits deserve to be remembered—in the hope that young men will never be called on to do such things again. Nigel Cawthorne is the author of more than 150 books, including VC Heroes, Heroes on the Frontline, and Special Forces: War on Terror.

The First World War in Quotes Mirrorpix The lives of soldiers, politicians and civilian families, in their own words With the aid of photographs from the news archives of Mirrorpix, this book offers readers the opportunity to read a critique and review of the inspirational, moving, shocking and sometimes humorous words of the men and women who experienced The Great War first hand. Technological advances in weaponry and the use of mechanized warfare resulted in what was the most devastating war in history—although much of the conflict was confined to the defensive trench networks carved through the battlefields of Europe, separated by barren, cratered “no-man’s land” strewn with barbed wire. This book presents a poignant, nostalgic record of the lives of military commanders, ordinary soldiers, politicians, royalty and civilian families whose lives were torn asunder in a four-year conflict that redrew the map of the world.

188 Burn the Sea Flame Warfare, Black Propaganda and the Nazi Plan to Invade England James Hayward Rumors of walls of fire and charred corpses followed the UK’s plans on how to protect themselves from invading Nazi forces—but are these rumors true? September 1940. Britain is rife with rumors of dead Nazis washed up on the beaches of the southeast coast—their bodies charred as though burnt alive. This book explores the truth behind these rumors and the intriguing story of Operation Lucid—the British plan to create a network of flame barrages to incinerate any Nazi invasion flotilla. Soon stories of flame warfare spread across Europe and to America, where journalists report that “10,000 Germans lost their lives” in the failed invasion attempt of Britain. The notion of Britain setting the seas surrounding France and the coast aflame is everywhere. This book reveals the propaganda and the reality of the plans to protect Britain from invasion. James Hayward’s previous books include Myths and Legends of the First World War and Myths and Legends of the Second World War. As a lawyer he worked on the Bloody Sunday inquiry, a role which cemented a long-standing interest in investigative research.

Death at Dawn Captain Warburton-Lee VC and the Battle of Narvik, April 1940 Alf R. Jacobsen An epic work on the pivotal battles of April 10th and 13th, 1940, as Hitler’s forces attempted to land in Narvik, Norway to reach desperately needed iron ore Hitler’s desperate need for iron ore was the main reason for his attack on Norway in April 1940. The battle for Narvik’s ice-free harbor soon became a crucial objective for both Allied and Axis forces. Attack at Dawn covers the two key battles that fought on 10th and 13th of April. The first battle was initiated by the British Navy, who had orders to prevent a German landing. U-boats failed to spot the patrolling British destroyer flotilla and, early in the morning on April 10th, they sank two German destroyers and six merchant ships in the harbor. The Germans retreated but, unbeknown to the British, five more destroyers were anchored nearby. Battle continued on April 13th. In total, 10 destroyers sank—only U51 survived by escaping to sea. Attack at Dawn is an epic drama which involved naval and land forces. It is the first key investigation of the battle and forms part of an award-winning trilogy. Alf R. Jacobsen is a Norwegian journalist, nonfiction writer, and novelist.

Operation Basalt was a raid carried out by British commandos on the island of Sark on the night of October 3-4, 1942. It was intended to reassure Channel Islanders that they had not been forgotten following their German occupation, to force the Germans to deploy resources, and to gain intelligence through German prisoners. Thought a tactical success, the raid remains mired in controversy, remembered because of Hitler’s reaction. Three days after the raid, he issued this order: “In future, all terror and sabotage troops of the British and their accomplices, who do not act like soldiers but rather like bandits, will be treated as such . . . and will be ruthlessly eliminated in battle, wherever they appear.” Using the National Archive in Kew and the Sark Society archives, Eric Lee tells the Basalt story for the first time. Did the commandos kill bound and unarmed German soldiers? Eric Lee served 11 years in the Israel Defence Forces reserves in a combat unit. He has written for numerous magazines, including Modern Combat.

In August 1944,15-year-old Resistance volunteer Andrew Borowiec lobbed a grenade onto German soldiers. “I felt I had come of age. I was a soldier and I’d just tried to kill some of our enemies.” The Warsaw Uprising lasted for 63 days. The insurgents were mostly poorly equipped locals, some younger than Andrew. Over that summer he faced danger at every moment. Wounded the day after his 16th birthday, he was captured in a makeshift hospital. From one of the most harrowing episodes of World War II, this is an extraordinary tale recounted by one of the few remaining veterans of Poland’s bravest summer. Andrew Borowiec left Poland after the war and attended Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

Pogrom: November 1938 Testimonies from ‘Kristallnacht’ Wiener Library A major contribution to Holocaust studies, this is the definitive eyewitness account of the events of Kristallnacht—the first act of the Holocaust On November 9th and 10th, 1938, the first act of the Holocaust was carried out. Across Germany and Austria over 1,200 synagogues were desecrated while thousands of Jewish businesses were attacked and looted, 90 people were killed and over 25,000 Jewish men were deported to concentration camps. The Jewish Central Information Office, later re-named The Wiener Library, immediately compiled eye-witness testimonies of the events: from face to face and telephone interviews, letters, written reports and newspaper articles. Some are raw and angry, some beg for help, others are defiant; their voices vividly bring to life the destruction that followed. Accompanied by material from the Library’s collection that sets the events in a historical and international context, as well as a detailed glossary. Produced by the The Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust & Genocide, the world’s leading, and oldest, archive of material related to the Holocaust and the Nazi era.

190 A True Story of the Great Escape A Young Australian POW in the Most Audacious Breakout of WWII Louise Williams “Brilliant achievement. . . . reminds us that the story of the Great Escape should not be owned by Hollywood, but rather by the families of those who made the greatest sacrifice.” —Guy Walters, author, The Real Great Escape The story of an Australian POW in the famous Great Escape from Stalag Luft III Shot down in 1942, Australian pilot John Williams became a POW in the notorious Stalag Luft III camp in Germany. John and his best mate Rusty Keirath were among the 76 POWs who tunneled their way out of the camp in what became famous as the Great Escape. John’s family was never told what happened to him. His niece Louise Williams has pieced together his life, from his upbringing in a tight-knit family hit hard by the Depression, his exploits in the air, the inventive collaboration of the POWs, to the tragic outcome of their escape. Louise Williams has recreated his story from family memories, letters, documents, oral histories, and interviews with survivors of the Great Escape.

Dead on Time The Memoir of an SOE and OSS Agent in Occupied France Jean Claude Guiet The story of Violette Szabo’s wireless operator, from Harvard at 15 to the CIA Jean Claude Guiet was born in Belfort, France. His parents headed the French Department at a college in the U.S. for 30 years, so he spent his school years here and summers in France. In 1940, at 16, he was recruited by the OSS (the precursor of the CIA). After Fort Bragg training he parachuted into France with Violette Szabo to prevent the 2nd SS Panzer Division from reinforcing Normandy before D-Day. Resistance groups organized by his immediate superi- or wrecked trains, shot up convoys and all the while Jean was coding and transmitting. As D-Day approached, he was a witness to the first daylight drop of supplies. After the liberation of Paris he was sent to Indo-China to train tribes to fight the Japanese in the jungles of China, Vietnam, Burma, Laos and Cambodia. After the war he worked for the CIA in Washington and the Far East. His unique story is told in a self-deprecating and elegant style. Jean Claude Guiet was an American citizen. He worked for the CIA throughout the 1950s— the files are still classified. After that he worked for Honeywell Inc and became active in the Civil Rights Movement and against the Vietnam War. He died in 2013.

191 Australians: Flappers to Vietnam #3 Thomas Keneally “Very readable yet thorough.” —Library Journal on The Australians: Origins to Eureka “Keneally . . . utilizes some wonderful vignettes gleaned from primary sources to advance his narrative. . . . A wonderful beginning of a project that should provide enjoyment for both general readers and scholars.” —Booklist on The Australians: From Origins to Eureka The outstanding final volume of acclaimed author Thomas Keneally’s major new three-volume history Australia emerged from World War I into a decade of profound change, characterized by a revolution in behavior among the young; by the first great age of consumerism; by the new and increasingly sophisticated impact of the movies; by secret right wing armies and the emergence of the Communist Party; and by two less remembered and very interesting PMs, the handsome, somber Stanley Melbourne Bruce of the Melbourne Establish- ment, and Jim Scullin, unpretentious Labor man of humbler Irish parentage. As in the two previous volumes, Keneally brings history to vivid and pulsating life as he traces the lives and the deeds of Australians known and unknown. As another war grew closer he followsthe Great Crash and the rise of Fascism, and explains how Australia was inexorably drawn into a war which led her forces into combat throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Pa- cific. At home an atmosphere of fear grew with the fall of Singa- pore and the bombing of Darwin, the Japanese advance and then the American Alliance and the arrival of General MacArthur. Peace brought its own problems with the Depression that left one third of Australians unemployed. Thomas Keneally is best-known for the Booker Prize-winning novel Schindler’s Ark, which was adapted into the movie Schin- dler’s List. His other titles include the Penguin Lives biography Abraham Lincoln, American Scoundrel, and A Commonwealth of Thieves. His other awards include the Miles Franklin Award, the Los Angeles Book Prize, The Royal Society of Literature Prize, the Scripter Award of the University of Southern Califor- nia, the Mondello International Prize, and the Helmerich Prize.

192 The Spy Catchers The Official History of ASIO, 1949-1963 David Horner “A fascinating account of ASIO’s early years.” —The Hon. John Howard, OM, AC, former Prime Minister of Australia “One of our most important official histories.” —The Hon. Kim Beazley, AC, Austra- lian Ambassador to the United States of America With unprecedented access to their hitherto sealed records, this is the first volume of a remarkable official history of Australia’s national security intelligence service For the first time, ASIO has opened its archives to an independent historian. With unfettered access to the records, David Horner tells the real story of Australia’s domestic intelligence organization, from shaky beginnings to the expulsion of Ivan Skripov in 1963. From the start, ASIO’s mission was to catch spies. In the late 1940s, the top secret Venona program revealed details of a Soviet spy ring in Australia, supported by leading Australian commu- nists. David Horner outlines the tactics ASIO used in counterespionage, from embassy bug- ging to surveillance of local suspects. His research sheds new light on the Petrov Affair, and details incidents and activities that have never been revealed before. This authoritative and ground-breaking account overturns many myths about ASIO, and offers new insights into broader Australian politics and society in the fraught years of the Cold War. The Spy Catch- ers is the first of three volumes of The Official History of ASIO. David Horner is professor of Australian defence history in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University. A graduate of the Royal Military College, Dun- troon, he served as an infantry platoon commander in South Vietnam. He is the author or editor of 32 books, including Duty First, In Action with the SAS, and SAS: Phantoms of War.

The Union-Castle Line Sailing Like Clockwork Mike Roussel and Sam Warwick A full history of the prominent shipping company, from the middle of the 19th to the late 20th century This book charts the history of the British shipping company, the Union-Castle Line. Carry- ing mail, passengers and cargo between the UK and South Africa, the line began in the middle of the 19th century and ran until its demise in 1977, a victim of emerging competition from jet aircraft, increasing fuel costs and containerization of cargo. This volume investigates the requisition and use of the company vessels for military transportation, identifying the war losses in both World Wars, and includes a review of Union-Castle shipwrecks and some examples of wrecks that have been dived. There are also in-depth and personal accounts of life when in port and on board from dockers, passengers, crew and employees. Mike Roussel is the author of Spitfire’s Forgotten Designer. Sam Warwick’s grandfather was first master of QE2, and his father was a master of QE2 and first master of QM2. He has runs www.qe2.org.uk. They are the coauthors of Shipwrecks of the Cunard Line.

Miller The little-known history of luxury small liners combining passengers and cargo This book is about the unique, largely ignored and forgotten passenger-cargo ships that were not liners but more than ordinary freighters. The first appeared in the 1930s but their heyday was post-war until the 1960s. There were dozens of these ships, often carrying 50-300 passengers in very comfortable, sometimes quite luxurious quarters. They were club-like, even yacht-like, and preferred by many, pre-jet travelers who wanted a longer, more restful journey, away from the often hotel-like quality of the big ocean liners. They also happened to be cargo vessels, carrying holds of cargo while adhering to scheduled sailings. William Miller presents an important record of a little-documented aspect of maritime history. William H. Miller, or “Mr. Ocean Liner,” has written 85 books on passenger ships and is an acknowledged world expert in his field. Along with appearing in numerous TV documentaries and news broadcasts, he has been a guest lecturer aboard 75 different ships, including over 100 voyages with the Cunard Line. He has sailed on over 350 voyages on 300 ships.

The Fighter Pilot’s Handbook Magic, Death and Glory in the Golden Age of Flight Gordon Thorburn The evolution of the airplane as a weapon of war This study takes the reader on a journey from the first flying machines in the late 19th century, to the development of the specialized fighter aircraft armed with one or more machine guns. It takes in the development of the devices that allowed a machine gun to fire through the propeller arc, the coming of aerial photography and airborne wireless, parachutes, engine design, test flying and problems of flight, including the dreaded “spin” that killed so may pilots, and the invention of aerial tactics such as the Immelmann Turn. Here, too, are the pilots who became famous. Some, like Germany’s “Red Baron,” Britain’s James McCudden, and Eddie Rickenbacker of the US, are still well-known. In 1914 it was all new, this business of flying at the enemy. It is a story of creativity, of machines, experiments, turning points, ebb and flow, and heroes. Starting from almost nothing, the fighting men established the principles that ultimately made aircraft the most important weapon of all.

What about . . Hora- tio Phillips’s Multiplane with its 200 separate wings? The Goodyear Inflatoplane, a totally inflatable aircraft which needs to avoid landing near rose bushes? There was the Fieseler F1 103R, basically a V1 flying bomb with a seat, or the Nakajima Ki-115, a plane designed to take off but not to land. Who could forget the Caspian Sea Monster, a 10-engine 500-ton giant designed to fly at 500 km/hr at a mind boggling altitude of just 16 feet . . Not to mention the Hughes H4 Hercules, the plane with the longest wingspan ever, made entirely from plywood. Now THAT is what bizarre aircraft is all about! Keith Ray enjoyed had a long career in management consultancy, after originally studying engineering at Cambridge University. He is the author of the Extremely Serious Guides series as well as Bizarre Cars, and is an avid cartoonist.

Vanished Planes that Disappear Chris McLeod Discover the mysteries of flights and pilots that disappeared, from Amelia Earhart to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 From Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra to the MH370 Boeing 777, at least 100 planes, and the people in them, have disappeared from the skies since humans first took to the air. Acci- dents and terrorism are threats, yet a person has a one in 5,000 chance of perishing in a car crash compared to a one in 11 million chance of being involved in a fatal plane crash. How- ever, the mystery and speculation surrounding a vanishing plane generates great drama. Here are some of the most curious—and mostly unresolved—disappearances in 100 years of flight. Chris McLeod was a newspaper journalist for more than 40 years and has always been keen- ly interested in investigative stories, particularly those with elements of mystery, conspiracy and suspicion.

JFK: An American Coup D’etat The Truth Behind the Kennedy Assassination Colonel John Hughes-Wilson The true story behind the murder of JFK by a rogue sniper Ever since President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas 50 years ago, various theories have swirled around what was a key event in American—and world—history. Despite the conclusions of the Warren Report—that the President had been assassinated by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald—many people doubt that to be true. Indeed, President Nixon later admitted on tape that the report was “a hoax committed on the American people.” John Hughes-Wilson, a former colonel in British Intelligence, set out in 2007 to go through the millions of words and thousands of pieces of evidence, to put together an intelligence jigsaw of what really happened that dreadful high noon in Dallas in 1963. The result is a dramatic exposure of what actually took place and a clear indication that, while some of the pieces of that jigsaw may be missing, the truth is emerging. While the U.S. Federal Archive still keeps a million documents relating to the case under lock and key, it is beyond reasonable doubt that Jack Kennedy was the victim of a plot to remove the President of the United States. John Hughes-Wilson highlights the facts behind why Marilyn Monroe had to be silenced, LBJ’s corrupt secrets, the Kennedys’ secret Cuban coup plans, how the mafia manipulated politicians and the CIA, and how the assassination was covered up. Reading this book no one can be in any doubt that JFK’s death was not at the hands of a lone deranged gunman, but a deadly plot to remove a President who threatened vested interests at home and abroad. Colonel John Hughes-Wilson served in the British Army’s Intelligence Corps for 30 years and is a specialist consultant to the UN and the European Union. He is the author of A Brief History of the Cold War, Military Intelligence Blunders, and The Pupper Masters.

197 Frost That Was the Life that Was Neil Hegarty The official biography of the iconic journalist, written in collaboration with his wife and three sons and with exclusive access to his vast archive, featuring many unpublished writings from Frost Sir David Frost, who died suddenly in August 2013, was the only person to have met and interviewed every British Prime Minister since Harold Wilson as well as seven presidents of the United States. Other world leaders he interviewed included Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Vladimir Putin, Henry Kissinger, Benazir Bhutto, Shimon Peres, Yasser Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu. Many of these encounters were set amid the turbulence of world events with the interviews becoming defining moments of history themselves. And yet there was so much more than politics: Frost’s interviews saw him lock horns with film stars, royalty, musicians, comedians, authors and sporting heroes. His range was unique and extraordinary and is unlikely ever to be equaled. From his humble background as the son of a Meth- odist minister, through his defining years at Cambridge and then quickly onwards through the 1960s to when Frost became the most successful TV host in the world, his work defined the mood of the moment. During that period, Frost didn’t just report the news, he made the news. This would be a trait he carried throughout his life and career. Frost is an epic story of personal achievement set amidst a rapidly changing world, encountering the great and the good that have dominated news and entertainment over the last 50 years. Neil Hegarty is the author of Story of Ireland. His journalism has appeared in the Irish Times and Daily Telegraph and he has written radio documentaries for RTE.

200 New Words for Old Recycling Our Language for the Modern World Caroline Taggart How we adapt and adopt words in the English language to suit our changing needs The English language is a versatile and agile thing, and as our world changes, so too does the way we use it. Aspirin, television, selfie—there was a time when these creations didn’t exist, but rather than coin a completely new word to describe them, we often adopt and adapt existing words to suit new purposes, or simply put two together to form a third. New Words for Old looks at the story behind the words we use every day and how their meanings have changed over time. From technology and fashion to politics and music, our language displays centuries of imagination and creativity, so often overlooked. Tracing the development of green from the days when it was just a color, web when it was something spiders made and trolls when they were nothing more threatening than the baddies in fairy tales, this is a fascinating tour through the history of the words we use every day and demonstrates just how wide we cast the net when trying to describe something new. Caroline Taggart’s books have sold over 850,000 copies. They include the bestseller I Used to Know That as well as The Classics and My Grammar and I or Should That Be Me?

Black Cats & Evil Eyes A Book of Old-Fashioned Superstitions Chloe Rhodes Hundreds of beliefs passed down through the generations have their foundations in our an- cestors’ efforts to ward off evil, which they blamed for hardship, illness, and injustice in times when life was, as often as not, “nasty, brutish and short.” Black Cats & Evil Eyes sets these superstitions in their historical and social context, explaining how fear of the Devil, demons, evil spirits, and witchcraft drove people to arm themselves with rituals and talismans to repel dark forces and allow them to live long and healthy lives. In examining many of our common superstitions, this book illuminates the customs, beliefs, and practices that link us to an ancient, and often darker, human past.

211 Italian Joy Carla Coulson In an account of her first five enchanted years living in Flor- ence, Italian Joy is an insider’s tribute to a country of grand passion and true beauty—now in paperback Carla Coulson had it all, or so everyone told her—a glamorous inner-city apartment, a successful business and a designer ward- robe. One lonely Christmas Eve, however, she realized what was missing: excitement, work she was passionate about and, most of all, love. So, Carla packed up her life and boarded a plane. Italy was her first port of call and became her true destination. With a camera and nothing to lose, she found herself immersed in Flor- ence, tasting the food, learning the language, meeting the people, discovering a new career and country—and photographing her new life. Carla’s evocative text and rich photographs bring alive the laughter, warmth and passion of Italy. We meet the people who have embraced her; we see the streets, bars, churches and markets that have enchanted her; and we feel her gioia (joy). In 2000, Carla Coulson left her corporate job and glamorous Sydney life behind in pursuit of a dream to start a new life for herself in Europe as a photographer. She is also the author of Chasing a Dream and Paris Tango. Her photography has been published in Marie Claire, Australian Gourmet Traveller, Col- lezione, Vogue Entertaining + Travel and Flair, among others.

212 Lost Japan Last Glimpse of Beautiful Japan Alex Kerr “One of the finest books about Japan written in decades.” —Insight Japan “A must read.” —Wall Street Journal on Dogs and Demons Now fully revised in a new edition, this enchanting and fascinating insight into Jap- anese landscape, culture, history and future was winner of Japan’s Shincho Gakugei Literature Prize Originally written in Japanese, this passionate, vividly personal book draws on the author’s experiences in Japan over 30 years. Alex Kerr brings to life the ritualized world of Kabuki, retraces his initiation into Tokyo’s boardrooms during the heady Bubble Years, and tells the story of the hidden valley that became his home. But the book is not just a love letter. Haunted throughout by nostalgia for the Japan of old, Kerr’s book is part paean to that great country and culture, part epitaph in the face of contemporary Japan’s environmental and cultural destruction. Alex Kerr is an American writer, antiques collector and Japanologist. His other works include Dogs and Demons and Living in Japan. He was the first foreigner to be awarded the Shincho Gakugei Literature Prize for the best work of non-fiction published in Japan.

Fragrant Heart A Tale of Love, Life and Food in Asia Miranda Emmerson “An interesting and instructive book in more ways than one.” —The Good Book Guide “For those ready to explore the variety of Asian cuisine, this is the guide to follow.” —Audley Travel Magazine “Fragrant Heart is a compelling outsider’s perspective on the region. The recipes for a range of Asian dishes look pretty good, too.” —Jetsetter Magazine One couple’s last big adventure—traveling through China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thai- land, and Malaysia—turned from a trip to a culinary love affair We buy food we can point to. We stalk the streets until rush hour and wait for the little hatches to open in the sides of restaurants. From the steamy openings, cooks in overalls sell jiaozi (dumplings) and bowls of thick, sticky, white congee—an unholy cross between soup and porridge. Baozi, steamed white buns, are light as air. I buy them filled with water spin- ach and nettle—delicious dipped in sharp, black Chinese vinegar. In 2008, Miranda and her partner set off for one last big adventure before settling down. They chose to travel through South-East Asia. All did not go to plan: Asian flu, falling off boats, and the general chaos of a life abroad challenged them at every step, and yet, in the midst of it all, they fell in love with the culture and culinary delights of China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Miranda Emmerson is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 4 Extra, where she specializes in abridging books for radio and adapting them for dramatic serialization.

Narrowboat Nomads Living the Dream on the English Waterways Steve Haywood One man and his cat again takes to the British canals, this time accompanied by the author’s wife—but will their relationship survive the heat waves and tight quarters? Austerity might be getting everyone else down, but Steve is waving his worries goodbye on another of his light-hearted trips around the picturesque English waterways. This time it’s a bit different, though—he’s not just cruising with his cat, Kit, but with his long-suffering wife, Em, who’s given up work and wants her share of easy living, too. They’ve rented out their home and there’s no going back now as they cruise from the historic River Thames, through the Midlands, and westward into the hills of Wales, meeting a familiar cast of eccentrics and oddballs along the way, and experiencing one of the hottest summers of recent years. But how, after life in a four-bedroom house, do they manage to survive together squeezed into a space the size of a shed? Steve Haywood is the author of Narrowboat Dreams, One Man and His Narrowboat, and Too Narrow to Swing a Cat.

Tsunami Kids Rob Forkan and Paul Forkan The true story of four siblings who lost their parents in the devastating Sri Lankan tsunami, and how they turned tragedy into inspiration On December 26, 2004, Rob, Paul, Matty, and Rosie Forkan, ages 8-17, lost their parents in the tsunami that devastated Sri Lanka. They faced a 124 mile trek to get home to safety. The ingenuity, and resilience they displayed was the result of their unusual upbringing. Taken out of school, they received an unconventional education, carrying out voluntary work for charities in India alongside their parents. Since the tsunami, Rob and Paul have created a multinational brand, Gandy’s Flip Flops, based in the front room of their rented home, and set up Orphans for Orphans, a charitable organization that uses 10% of the profits to support children deprived of education, nutrition, and medication. This is a heartbreaking yet uplifting journey, told by two inspirational survivors. Rob Forkan and Paul Forkan are the cofounders of Gandys Flip Flops and Orphans for Orphans. They wrote their story with the cooperation of younger siblings Matty and Rosie.

214 The Crossing My Journey to the Shattered Heart of Syria Samar Yazbek Translator Nashwa Gowanlock and Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp “A testament to the indomitable spirit of her countrymen . . . shocking, searing, and beautiful.” —Daily Beast “Bears comparison with George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia . . . it may be that [she] has written one of the first political classics of the 21st century.” —Observer A powerful testament by an award-winning Syrian journalist Samar Yazbek was well-known in her native Syria as a writer and a journalist but, in 2011, she fell foul of the Assad regime and was forced to flee. Since then, determined to bear witness to the suffering of her people, she revisited her homeland by squeezing through a hole in the fence on the Turkish border. Here she testifies to the appalling reality that is Syria today. From the first innocent demonstrations for democracy, through the beginnings of the Free Syrian Army, to the arrival of ISIS, she offers remarkable snapshots of soldiers, children, ordinary men and women simply trying to stay alive. Some of these stories are of hardship and brutality that is hard to bear, but she also gives testimony to touches of humanity along the way: how people live under the gaze of a sniper, how principled young men try to resist orders from their military superiors, how children cope in bunkers. Yazbek’s portraits of life in Syria are very real, and her prose, luminous. The Crossing is undoubtedly both an important historical document and a work of literature. Samar Yazbek is a journalist who has written op-eds for the New York Times and Washing- ton Post. Her translated work includes A Woman in the Crossfire, her diaries of the first four months of the Syrian uprising.

American Interior The Quixotic Journey of John Evans, His Search for a Lost Tribe and How, Fuelled by Fantasy and (Possibly) Booze, He Accidentally Annexed a Third of North America Gruff Rhys “A story about gullibility, contradiction, ambition, inexplicable wanderlust . . . this brilliantly life-affirming book highlights a world of wonder far beyond orthodox history.” —Guardian “Written in an exuberant, entertaining style, American Interior is alive to the quixotic nature of Evans’s quest, while offering a sideways look at the nexus between history and myth.” —Financial Times A psychedelic historical travelogue from Welsh pop legend Gruff Rhys In 1792, John Evans, a 22-year-old farmhand from Snowdonia, Wales, traveled to America to discover whether there was indeed, as widely believed, a tribe of Welsh-speaking native Americans still walking the great plains. In 2012, Gruff Rhys set out on an “investigative concert tour” in the footsteps of John Evans, with concerts in New Orleans, Baltimore, Phil- adelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, North Dakota, and more. This book is the story of these journeys. It is also an exploration of how wild fantasies interact with hard history and how myth-making can inspire humans to partake in crazy, vain pursuits of glory, including exploration, war, and the creative arts. Gruff Rhys is known for his work as a solo artist as well as singer and songwriter with Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon, and for his collaborations with Gorillaz, Mogwai, Danger- mouse and Sparklehorse among others.

215 The Umbrian Thursday Night Supper Club Marlena de Blasi “Marlena de Blasi’s glittering descriptions and mouthwatering recipes take you direct- ly into the heart of Italy and into the souls of the Italian people.” —Adriana Trigiani, author, The Shoemaker’s Wife “Celebrates the life-affirming joys of food and friendship . . . Marlena de Blasi recounts meals she and four Italian neighbours cook together every week and the stories they share about their lives and loves.” —Good Housekeeping From a bestselling author comes the true story of five extraordinary women who meet in the hills above Italy’s Orvieto to cook, eat, and tell the stories of their incredible lives Every week on a Thursday evening, a group of four Italian rural women gather in a stone house in the hills above Italy’s Orvieto.

Going Up Is Easy The First Woman to Ascend Everest Without Oxygen Lydia Bradey and Laurence Fearnley Provocative, stirring, and beautifully written, this is the story of how one woman took on the mountaineering world and won In 1988, Lydia Bradey became the first woman to climb Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen. She made the ascent alone and to date she is the only New Zealander to have made an oxygen-free ascent. Her climb was a truly remarkable achievement but also an internationally controversial one. Going Up Is Easy details for the first time the events surrounding Bradey’s historic feat, as well as her many hair-raising expeditions through Alaska, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, India, China, Europe, and New Zealand. In the spirit of John Krakauer’s Into Thin Air or Joe Simpson’s Touching the Void, this book celebrates a life lived on the edge. Through her stories, we encounter a woman propelled by curiosity and passion to become one of the greatest female high-altitude adventurers of recent times. Co-written with acclaimed novelist Laurence Fearnley, a long-time friend of Bradey, and stunningly illustrated throughout, Going Up Is Easy is a life story by turns dramatic, tender, funny, frank and inspiring. Lydia Bradey is one of Australasia’s foremost high-altitude mountaineers. She made her first ascent of Aoraki/Mount Cook while still a teenager. She then traveled to Alaska, Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan, where, in 1987, she became the first Australasian woman to climb an 8000-meter peak. In 1988, she made a historic ascent of Mount Everest, becoming the first woman to reach the summit without supplementary oxygen. Employed as a professional mountain guide, she has made two further ascents of Everest as well as climbed and guided extensively throughout Nepal, Pakistan, Antarctica, South America, Africa and Europe. Lau- rence Fearnley is the author of The Hut Builder.

216 Surviving Ireland Colm Tobin A brilliant, scathing look at Ireland by a top Irish comedy writer Here, comedian Colm Tobin unmasks the true essence of this mysterious mist-green land with its jagged teddy-bear outline, lurking guiltily to the Western edge of Europe. Are the Irish really the slick, upwardly-mobile, bright-young things of Europe with the skinny jeans and the unnecessary spectacles? Or are they the slack-jawed simpletons you see staring tooth- lessly out of postcards, patting their donkeys, patiently waiting for death? Irishness means more than merely holding a passport with a harp on it. Some say you can hear Irishness in the lonesome lilt of uileann pipes. That you can smell it in the farts of a billion Guinness drinkers. Look hard enough and you can see it winking back at you from the shimmering, oily thighs of Michael Flatley. But what is it, really? It’s safe to say that Ireland is no longer just a physical place. Who are the Irish people now and where are they going? And who in the name of sweet Jesus is going to pay for it all? Colm Tobin is an acclaimed comedy writer and TV producer, with more than 40,000 followers on Twitter. As well as writing for TV shows such as Irish Pictorial Weekly, he wrote and produced the satirical series Langerland, and has written pieces for the Irish Times.

Junkie Buddha A Journey of Discovery in Peru Diane Esguerra An inspiring and uplifting memoir about finding value in profound loss This is the story of one woman’s journey from her son’s revelation that he had been sexually abused in childhood through to the scattering of his ashes at Machu Picchu in Peru. Sacha had died of a heroin overdose. A journal Diane kept while traveling around Peru and her experiences, encounters and reflections form the basis of her gut-wrenching and gripping book that reconnected her to life. Time and again in Peru, a place, event or a person reminded her of her son and the rollercoaster-white-knuckle-ride they had been on together, and these experiences are meaningfully and beautifully woven into this moving and uplifting narrative. Diane once asked “Why me?” and now asks “Why not me?”—a shift that now underlines her healing. Diane Esguerra left school and home at 16. It was then that she discovered the value of learning and proceeded to get degrees in English and psychotherapy. In work, she has taught English to Islamic judges in London, been a performing artist around the world and has been a playwright, creating parts for women that are less one dimensional than many of those around today. Diane has had success with her plays Victoria Island, set in Lagos, and performed at the National Theatre of Nigeria with a mainly Nigerian cast, and Moti Roti—a Bollywood comedy with an all-Indian cast, at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East and in Mon- treal. Although a writer of fiction, after the death of her son Diane felt compelled to write her fascinating memoir.

Hooked The Salacious Secrets of Samantha X: Sydney’s Top High-Class Call Girl Samantha X A fly-on-the-wall sexy, juicy page-turner of what really goes on behind the walls of Sydney’s most infamous brothel Samantha X is not your typical hooker. She’s the wrong side of 35, has two kids, and counts dining at her local pizzeria as a wild night out. Career-wise, Samantha had it all: writing for Australia’s top-selling women’s magazines, appearing as a media expert on television, and traveling the world for the sake of a good story. But after a marriage breakdown, and with two kids, she turned her back on the media. Samantha decided to dust off her stilettos and work at Sydney’s most infamous brothel, where she soon became one of their most in-demand girls. Not only was she making great cash, but she was also privy to the real-life stories of her clients—irresistible to the journalist in her. How could she not keep a record of their salacious stories? She heard everything: from tearful married men confessing their secrets, to lesbian threesomes, to servicing the odd married couple trying to reignite their relationship. But while whoring can be lucrative and fun, it also comes with a hefty price, as Samantha soon finds out. The only problem is, can she kick her addiction to what she believes to be the best job in the world? Samantha X started her career as a journalist for London’s tabloid press. After 13 years as a magazine writer in Sydney, Samantha decided selling her body was far more lucrative and fun, and the stories she heard from within the brothel’s walls were more fascinating than any story she’d covered.

Schools of Fish Alan Sampson “Sampson had a reputation as a an ‘ass-kicker’ . . . Then something unforeseen happened. Something terrifying for both father and son that unleashed the poetry locked inside the boy who couldn’t read. It’s a moment that packs considerable emotional punch, a twist in the tale that makes Schools of Fish more than just another mea culpa memoir.” —Spectrum One principal’s story of what happened when he began to think outside the classroom Alan Sampson was a very strict high school principal, renowned for transforming weak schools into centers of excellence. But the long hours took their toll on his home life. As his marriage ended, he was given charge of a city high school on a downward spiral. In this school was one of the most troublesome students he had ever met—his own son, Greg. As Alan strove to find a way to tame his son’s behavioral problems, he and Greg battled each other as well as the ingrained obstacles in the education system. Only when they both found the courage to step outside the rules did they find their way through to each other, and realize that the best education in life can be found outside the school system. Alan Sampson has worked in education for 30 years. Memoir/Education • 224 Pages • 6 x 8.5 • 9781925048452 • June • $22.95 (Can $27.95) Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • Finch Publishing

219 Doubling Back Ten Paths Trodden in Memory Linda Cracknell “Wonderfully explores the strange durability of the paths that we make in our lives, in our dreams and after our deaths.” —Robert Macfarlane, author, The Old Ways “Of all the current crop of excellent “new Nature Writers” Linda Cracknell is probably the most physically present to the reader. . . . Refreshing, lovely, fun: good walking and good writing.” —Sara Maitland, author, From the Forest A masterwork of travel writing, now in paperback In 1952, Linda Cracknell’s father embarked on a hike through the Swiss Alps. It was the last walk he would ever take. Linda retraces that fateful journey 50 years later, following the trail of the man she barely knew. This collection of walking tales take their theme from that pilgrimage. The walks trace the contours of memories, following friends, writers, and relations along trails across mountains, valleys, and coasts from the Highlands of Scotland to Kenya. Each walk is about the reaffirming of memories, beliefs, and emotions, and especially of the connection that one can have with the past. This book celebrates life, family, friendship, and walking through mountain landscapes richly textured with stories. A masterwork of travel writing in the vein of Robert Macfarlane and Roger Deakin, this lyrical, poignant book contains stunning landscape descriptions. Linda Cracknell was shortlisted for the Scottish First Book Award for her story collection Life Drawing and the Robin Jenkins Literary Award for environmental writing.

A Field Guide to Melancholy Jacky Bowring From Sartre to emo, a survey of a complex, contradictory condition encompassing literature, art, film, music, and architecture Melancholy is a critical part of what it is to be human, yet everything from Prozac to self- help psychology books seems intent on removing all signs of sadness from contemporary existence. A Field Guide to Melancholy surveys this ambivalent concept and takes a journey through the articulation of melancholy in a variety of languages, from the Russian toska of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin to kaiho—expressed in the dancing of the Finnish tango. This guide finds melancholy within the work of writers such as W. G. Sebald and Jean-Paul Sartre, the art of photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto and multi-media artist Gerhard Richter, the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and Patrick Keiller, the music of Erik Satie and Tom Waits, the architecture and landscapes of ruins, and the 21st century’s predilection for memorials.

220 Heart of the Original Originality, Creativity, Individuality Steve Aylett “This staggeringly brilliant book has scarcely a line in it that won’t make you wish you’d thought of it first. Raising the bar to the point where it’s a hazard to migrating birds, this is a sizzling and hilarious manifesto where its author means every blazing word. . . . Probably the most astonishing thing that you will read during this otherwise lacklustre incarnation.” —Alan Moore, creator, V for Vendetta and Watchmen “Aylett crams more ideas into one sentence than you’ll find in all the novels on the New York Times bestseller list put together.” —Bookmunch Award-winning satirist and sci-fi writer Steve Aylett explores our professed desire and hidden revulsion towards originality True creativity, the making of a thing which has not been in the world previously, is originality by definition. But while many claim to crave originality, they feel an obscure revulsion when confronted with it. The really new is uncomfortable and disturbing. Repetition of the familiar is preferred. The hailing of old ideas as original lowers the standard for invention and robs most creative people of the drive to do anything interesting, let alone seek out the universe of originality which is drumming its fingers, wondering why nobody calls. This is a book for those who care not for the fashionable simulacra of the media creative, but for an understanding of the hard road to true originality. Part manual, part history of ideas, part manifesto, this is a unique experimental journey around the outer limits of our culture. It debunks myths and wages war on cliché and platitude—a rallying cry and disruptive book for those bored with merely thinking outside the box. Steve Aylett is the author of several books including LINT, Slaughtermatic and Shamans- pace. He won the Jack Trevor Story Award and was a finalist for the Philip K Dick Award.

The Art of Balanced Living The Right Diet and Lifestyle for Your Body Type Shaun Matthews How the body-type diet of the ancient Indian Ayurveda tradition can help us live healthier, happier and more balanced lives today The advice in this book is based on the body-typing system of Ayurveda, India’s traditional system of healing. Yoga and meditation are well known elements of Ayurveda, but fewer people know about the body type diet and how it affects physical, emotional and mental health. The three body types, or doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, reflect and affect everything from the health of our skin to the state of our finances. This book answers questions such as Why can’t I lose that last bit of weight? Why is digestion so sensitive to raw food? Why do I get angry so quickly? Why can’t I tolerate hot spices? It also contains recipes and stories from people whose lives have changed after implementing the body-type diet. Dr. Shaun Matthews has worked as a general practitioner since 1992. He studied Ayurvedic medicine in India at Gujarat Ayurveda University and trained as yoga teacher at the Bihar School of Yoga. He is the author of Journeys in Healing.

What about those of us who don’t see ourselves in these boxes—women who are happily single but dating? What it means to be a single woman has evolved. We’re no longer waiting for the phone to ring. Sure, we’re looking for love, but why take ourselves off the market in the meantime?

255 The Second Curve Thoughts on Reinventing Society Charles Handy “The bracing manifesto of a forward-looking radical. . . . successfully channels the energy and enthusiasm of the younger generation, in whom Handy places great hope. . . . Handy’s prescience over the decades has earned him the right to dabble and, given his record, you would not want to bet against some of his radical ideas coming true.” —Financial Times “Gentle but incisive . . . [Handy’s] voice is a reassuring, challenging presence. We should continue to listen to it.” —Management Today A leading management guru looks to the future Charles Handy builds on a life’s work to glimpse into the future and see what challenges and opportunities lie ahead. He looks at current trends in capitalism and asks whether it is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is essential. He even asks whether we should rethink our roles in life—as students, parents, workers and voters—and what the aims of an ideal society of the future should be. Provocative and thoughtful, he sets out the questions we all need to ask ourselves—and points us in the direction of some of the answers. Charles Handy is an independent writer, broadcaster and teacher. He has been an oil executive, an economist, a professor at the London Business School, the Warden of St. George’s House in Windsor Castle and the chairman of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce.

Trust Me, PR Is Dead Robert Phillips “Thrilling . . . a passionate revolution.” —Huffington Post “Cohesively combine much of the disparate strands of thought about the discipline’s pressing need for reinvention, in a style that is, by turns, provocative and amusing.” —The Holmes Report An inside look at the demise of traditional industry and the roles that trust, truth and transparency play in modern capitalism and politics Robert Phillips spent 25 years at the top of the PR industry, traveling the world to speak alongside Prime Ministers and CEOs (in between presenting naked in Finnish boardrooms saunas and trying to bring an end to the British monarchy). But then he quit his job as CEO EMEA of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm, for one reason: he no longer believed in what he was doing. Messages can no longer be managed. The age of “spin” is over. In this age of activism and individual empowerment, power is shifting from state to citizen; employer to employee; corporation to citizen-consumer. From media to publishing, law to diplomacy, and internal communications to leadership itself, traditional industries are facing a near inevitable demise. How can the PR industry be so seemingly unaware that it is experiencing its own death throes? And if everything is dead, what comes next? Using nearly 200 anecdotes, interviews, and case studies (including companies like Unilever, John Lewis Partnership, and Patagonia), Robert Phillips answers these questions and proposes a new model of leadership and accountability across business and politics. Robert Phillips has been advising global corporations and writing, publishing and speaking on the future of communications for over 25 years. He is the former (EMEA) President & CEO of Edelman—the world’s largest Public Relations firm—and Global Chair of its Public Engagement & Future Strategies group.

256 Ending the War on Drugs Edited by Richard Branson An important and timely book on Drug Policy Reform from a team of opinion-makers and world leaders, assembled by Richard Branson In the last nine years alone, more than 100,000 people have lost their lives to drug-war violence in Mexico. 50 years ago, governments around the world made it illegal to produce, sell, and possess certain drugs. Five decades later, illegal drug use is at an all time high and $100 billion of government money around the globe is spent every year on drug-related criminal law enforcement and the so-called war on drugs. Drug prohibition laws have put the drug market into the hands of organized criminals, and the Global Commission on Drug Policy (GCDP) are seeking to alter opinion towards prohibition-focused drug laws and criminal- ization, bringing to light potential new policies and attitudes which will reduce organized crime, drug-related violence, and the supply and demand of illicit drugs. Harm reduction is at the forefront of their agenda and this collection of essays outlines key facts, debates, and perspectives on the war on drugs, and how we can end it. Contributors include Ernesto Zedillo (former president of Mexico), Ruth Dreifuss (former president of Switzerland), Hen- rique Fernando Cardoso (former president of Brazil), Olusegun Obasanjo (former president of Nigeria), Cesar Gaviria (former president of Colombia), Pavel Bem (former mayor of Prague), Michel Kazatchkine (UNSG’s Special Envoy on HIV/AIDS in Eastern Europe and Central Asia), Anand Grover (former UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health), Carl Hart (Professor, Columbia University), and George Soros (philanthropist). Richard Branson is an English businessman and investor who is best known as the founder of Virgin Group.

Dempsey and the Wild Bull The Four Minute Fight of the Century John Jarrett A long overdue story of one of boxing’s greatest ever fights, against a vivid Roaring Twenties atmosphere They still call it the most sensational fight ever for the world heavyweight championship, between champion Jack Dempsey and his hammer-fisted Argentine challenger, Luis Angel Firpo. Back in the Roaring Twenties, 85,000 packed into New York’s Polo Grounds to see all three minutes 57 seconds of it. Nobody asked for their money back. In the first round Firpo was floored seven times, but got up to deck the champion, then knocked him clean into the press section. Pushed back into the ring as the count reached nine, the champion survived the round, thinking he had been knocked out. In round two, Dempsey knocked Firpo out in 57 seconds. The four-minute Fight of the Century was over! “The Wild Bull of the Pampas” became Argentina’s most famous citizen, after the infamous Perons. Dempsey, half a million dollars richer, rested and rusted for three years before losing his title to Gene Tunney. John Jarrett is the author of six books, including Champ in the Corner, Dynamite Gloves, and Toy Bulldog. He has been a boxing writer for 50 years.

In his six seasons with McLaren, he won 30 races and three driving titles and in 1985 he became the first French World Champion.

Top Gear Drives of a Lifetime Around the World in 25 Road Trips Dan Read Top Gear’s 25 most amazing road trip adventures, ever Every year, Top Gear dispatches correspondents to cover many serious stories around the world. Wherever they go, they ask tough questions and leave no stone unturned in search of the cold, hard truth. Questions such as: Is it possible to drive a Ferrari up a Scottish ski slope? Exactly how far can you drive a bulldozer across the Antarctic before it falls down a big crack? And what happens when you drive a small 4X4 up a volcano, during an earth- quake, with a high chance of eruption? The answers to all of the above, and more, can be found in this book featuring Top Gear’s best adventures, neatly arranged in precise geo- graphic order: top, middle and bottom. These are not Sunday drives to country pubs. You will not find any mentions of freshly cut grass and picnics under oak trees. In fact, you are more likely to encounter roadside landmines and a pack of Chilean llamas with a relaxed approach to personal hygiene. Of course you will also find supercars on winding mountain passes, but this book goes much further, bringing you the most unusual combinations of car and tarmac—or lack of it—from across our planet. All of which are accompanied by a surprisingly useful collection of travel tips, featuring such useful advice as when to go, what the weather’s like and where to find a reasonably priced beer. Dan Read is—in TG’s best tradition—best described as ambitious but rubbish. Dan has been writing for Top Gear Magazine for seven years, and is occasionally allowed out of the office to write a story. Thoughtfully he’s even included a few of his own trips in the book, including the one where he drove a small hatchback to the border of North Korea, and another where he got a Ferrari stuck on a ski slope. Ambitious? Definitely. Rubbish? Always. Travel/Television • 264 Pages • 8.5 x 11 • 200 Color Photos • 9781849909693 • May $45.00 • Cloth • Rights: US • BBC Books

262 Diego Costa The Beast Chris Davies An in-depth look into the life of this hard-as-nails striker for Chelsea FC and his rise to the very top Fresh from an outstanding season in Spain, where his 36 goals had propelled Atlético Ma- drid to a first La Liga title since 1996 and to within seconds of a maiden Champions League crown, Diego Costa arrived at Stamford Bridge for £32 million. Brazilian by birth, Costa had caused an enormous wave of controversy in his homeland after opting to take Spanish citizenship and a subsequent place in Spain’s squad over the opportunity to represent the Seleção in a home World Cup in 2014. An early exit for Spain ensued but, undeterred, Cos- ta arrived in the English capital tasked by manager Jose Mourinho with scoring the goals that had eluded many of his predecessors the previous season. And with a Premier League record of seven goals in his first four starts he took to the physical nature of England’s top division with typical aplomb. Costa began his nomadic rise to the top via the lower echelons of Portuguese and Spanish football, before establishing himself as a force under Diego Sime- one’s rejuvenated Atléti. Affectionately nicknamed “El Cholo” (the Beast), his pace, power, aggression and deadly finishing have swiftly seen him become a crowd favorite at the Bridge. Chris Davies is the author of Deadly Dimitar and King Carra.

263 I Think Therefore I Play Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Alciato “Like its author, Andrea Pirlo, I Think Therefore I Play is short, subtle and imaginative. It is football as art and philosophy rather than warfare.” —London Times “Refrains from self-justification and score-settling, preferring to display a mischievous wit and an acute gift for observation.” —Guardian One of the best and most popular footballers in the world tells his story with warmth, humor and insight Pirlo’s profile could not be much higher, having competed in the Champions League final in May 2015 and then embarking on a new career signing with MLS side New York City FC in July 2015. The vibrancy, humor and vivid insight that carry Pirlo’s autobiography along confounds his image as a dead-eyed assassin on the field of play. All the big names are in there: Lippi, Ancelotti, Conte, Maldini, Shevchenko, Seedorf, Buffon, Kaka, Nesta, Costacur- ta, Gattuso, Berlusconi and Ronaldo (“the real one”). But they’re not always in their work clothes. We hear Berlusconi playing the piano and telling “various types” of joke at Milan’s training ground. We see Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi drawing Nesta’s ire as they take him on a mystery tour of the German countryside in a hire car days before a World Cup semi-final. And we smell the aftermath of Filippo Inzaghi’s graphically described pre-match routine. Andrea Pirlo has been the playmaker for each of Italy’s big three clubs—Inter, Milan and Ju- ventus. He has won the Champions League and the World Cup. He reinvented his position, playing deeper than any playmaker before him and using a wider passing range. He is also one of the best free-kick takers in the history of soccer. In July 2015, he signed for MLS side New York City. Alessandro Alciato is also the coauthor of Carlo Ancelotti: The Beautiful Games of an Ordinary Genius.

265 High Performance Fencing The Seventh Essential Ed Rogers A practical guide to the highly competitive speed and endurance sport of modern fencing, aimed at intermediate to advanced level fencers, coaches, and teachers Legendary fencing instructor Maitre Bac H. Tau described what he called the “six essentials that are in a fencer’s mind:” “The first is called spirit; The second, rhythm; The third, thought; The fourth, technique; The fifth, tactic, and the last is strategy.” As a fencer you can fight with spirit, experience rhythm, think your way around problems, and develop technique, tactic, and strategy by training with top-flight fencing masters. But there is more. Modern fencing is a highly competitive speed and endurance sport, and the “seventh essential” in a high-performance fencer’s mind is how to prepare themselves physically and mentally to fence. Here, Ed Rogers covers every aspect of the preparation required by a fencer competing at the highest level. The book provides sound practical advice and is based on tried-and-tested training principles that have repeatedly proved successful. Ed Rogers is on the board of Scottish Fencing and on the list of examiners for the Brit- ish Academy of Fencing in Scotland. His first book Fencing—Essential Skills Training was placed on British Fencing’s recommended reading list. He is a veteran Scottish international, retired architect, and town planner, who now spends much of his time coaching and writing about fencing. Georgina Usher is CEO of British Fencing.

266 Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape The Remarkable Life of Jacques Anquetil, the First Five-Times Winner of the Tour de France Paul Howard “Paul Howard has not allowed Anquetil’s astonishing love life to overwhelm his equally extraordinary career . . . an impeccably researched book (Book of the Week).” —Independent on Sunday The astonishing biography of first 5-times winner of the Tour de France, French cycling star Jacques Anquetil, revealing the truth behind the legend, the man and the cyclist For the first time since his death in 1987, this astounding biography reveals the extraordinary truth behind the legend, the man, and the cyclist. His list of “firsts” alone makes him worthy of a place in the cycling pantheon: the first man to win the Tour de France five times; the first man to win all three grand tours—the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España; and the first man to win both the Tour and Vuelta in the same year. However, the extraordinary life of Anquetil does not stop at his achievements on a bike. He candidly admitted to using drugs, offended legions of fans by confessing that his only motivation for riding was financial, and infamously indulged his enthusiasm for the high life. He also seduced and married his doctor’s wife, had a child with her daughter, and then sustained a ménage à trois with both wife and stepdaughter under the same roof for 12 years. When this “family” eventually imploded, he attempted to inspire jealousy in his former lovers by having a child with his stepson’s ex-wife. Containing exclusive contributions from Anquetil’s family, friends, teammates, and rivals, Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape untangles myth from reality and confirms that fact is definitely stranger than fiction. Paul Howard is a writer who contributes frequently to cycling magazines and the national press. His first book, Riding High, was shortlisted for the National Sporting Club’s Best New Sports Writer prize. He is also the author of Two Wheels on Ny Wagon.

His epic journey lasted nearly two years, and for each of the 622 days it took him to run around the planet, Tom completed the equivalent of a marathon or more.

272 Golf Stole My Brain And Other Strange Golfing Tales Dale Concannon Tales of golf’s manic obsessives and their wacky fairway antics According to the legendary Sam Snead, golf is the most frustrating sport of all. “One day you are up on Cloud Nine and the next day you couldn’t scratch a whale’s belly,” he once famously said. Like many of us who play the game, he understood that few sports offer more opportunity to make complete fools of ourselves than golf. For anyone from the most celebrated professional to the lowliest hacker, it can appear deceptively easy at times, and virtually impossible at others. Highlighting the idiosyncratic nature of the game and the often messianic fervor of those who play it, this collection of unique and often amusing tales will have you shaking your head in disbelief. From the European Ryder Cup star who claimed his rental house was haunted, to the German farmer who filed a lawsuit against a nearby golf club claiming they had “murdered” 30 of his cows, absolutely nothing is out-of-bounds.

273 Moonwalker Adventures of a Midnight Mountaineer Alan Rowan From a man whose love of Scotland’s mountains would override his body clock and all conventional notions of health and safety comes a book that’s both a deeply personal memoir, and a riotous travelogue When Alan Rowan finished his shifts as a sub-editor at a national newspaper at midnight, he knew he was too jacked up on deadline adrenaline to attempt sleep. At the same time, he was starting to worry if he would ever complete his ambition: to reach the summit of every “Munro” in Scotland—those peaks of over 3000 feet. One crazy night, he decided upon a single solution to both problems. He would begin his ascents in the middle of the night, see the sun rise above the clouds and then come down the mountain just as everyone else was going up, before arriving home to have breakfast with his unsuspecting family. Moonwalker is part guide to the magnificent Munros of Scotland, part memoir, part comedy, part adventure yarn, part tragedy. We see Alan’s transformation from desk jockey to midnight mountaineer, meet dodgy car salesmen, rabid sheepdogs, charging deer, superstitious Germans and crooked confectioners—all the while seeing the best of Scotland in a unique light. Alan Rowan has been a journalist for more than 30 years and a mountaineer for almost as long. He writes a nationally syndicated column in the UK as Moonwalker and lectures on journalism.

Bachelors Muriel Spark “Spark’s novels linger in the mind as brilliant shards, decisive as a smashed glass is decisive.” —John Updike, New Yorker “I am dazzled by The Bachelors.

291 Hunger Knut Hamsun Introduction by Jo Nesbø “One of the most disturbing novels in existence.” —Time Out Widely considered to be the forefather of 20th century modern literature, presented here with an introduction by Jo Nesbø and an afterword by Paul Auster Lying awake in his attic room, a young aspiring writer prepares himself for the day ahead. He dresses and then descends into the unforgiving streets of Kristiana, one of many journeys he will come to make through this strange city, looking for inspiration and sustenance. As the narrator’s behavior becomes increasingly irrational and absurd, the reader is drawn deeper into his intense world. First published in 1890, Hunger is Hamsun’s first novel, a disturbing and darkly humorous masterpiece of existential fiction that anticipated and influenced much 20th-century fiction, including the work of Camus, Kafka and Fante. Knut Hamsun was born in Norway in 1859. Hunger was his first novel. He went on to write many works of fiction, including Mysteries, Pan and Victoria. He died in 1952, and since then a growing number of readers have been drawn to his work for its extraordinary qualities of insight and imagination. Jo Nesbø is the bestselling author of the Harry Hole crime series. Paul Auster is the bestselling author of The Brooklyn Follies and The New York Trilogy. He lives in Brooklyn.

A Fortunate Man The Story of a Country Doctor John Berger Photographer Jean Mohr “John Berger seems to me peerless; not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience.” —Susan Sontag “A masterpiece. When A Fortunate Man was published in 1967 it marked the most significant step forward in the collaboration of a writer and photographer since Let us Now Praise Famous Men by Walker Evans and James Agee. Incredibly, it still does.” —Geoff Dyer, author, Another Great Day at Sea Booker Prize-winner Berger’s exploration of what it means to heal, inducted into the Canons series nearly 50 years after its first publication In 1966, John Berger spent three months in the Forest of Dead shadowing an English country GP, John Sassall. Sassall is a fortunate man—his work occupies and fulfills him, he lives among the patients he treats, and the line between his life and his work is happily blurred. Berger’s text and the photography of Jean Mohr reveal with extraordinary intensity the life of a remarkable man. It is a portrait of one selfless individual and the rural community for which he became the hub. Drawing on psychology, biography, and medicine, this is a profound exploration of what it means to be a doctor, to serve a community, and to heal. John Berger is the author of King, The Success and Failure of Picasso, Understanding a Pho- tograph, and Ways of Seeing, one of the most influential books on art in the 20th century. Gavin Francis is a general practitioner and novelist, and the author of Empire Antarctica. Jean Mohr is a documentary photographer who has produced 26 books of photography, including five with John Berger and one with Edward Said.

292 The Gypsy Goddess Meena Kandasamy “Powerful . . . The Gypsy Goddess has a lyrical, radical core, which offers bold perspectives on the relationship between poverty and power.” —Guardian “It would take Carol Ann Duffy, Caroline Criado-Perez, Kandasamy’s hero Arundhati Roy and, if her first work of fiction The Gypsy Goddess is anything to go by, Salman Rushdie to match Kandasamy’s infinite variety . . . A novel of self-conscious experimentalism and unmistakable fury, it throws down a gauntlet to conservative literary and political sensibilities.” —Independent A mighty thunderclap of a novel, this laugh-out-loud funny, brilliantly angry book is as much about a true-life massacre as it is about the impossibililty of writing a novel about a true-life massacre. It sits on the line between powerful fiction and fearsome critique. Tamil Nadu, 1968. Village landlords rule over a feudal system that forces peasants to break their backs in the fields or suffer beatings as punishment. In the misery of their daily lives it is little wonder that the Communist Party begins to gain traction, a small spark of defiance spreading from villager to villager. As communities across the region begin to take a stand against the landlords, the landlords vow to break them; Party organizers suffer grisly deaths and the flow of food into the market-places dries up. But it only serves to make the villagers’ resistance burn more fiercely. Finally, the landlords descend on one village to set an example to the others. Meena Kandasamy is a poet, fiction writer, translator and activist who is based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. She has published two collections of poetry, Touch and Ms. Militancy.

With no family to fight for her, she’s just the latest in a long line of missing girls stretching back three decades. Nobody cares about their names. Nobody remembers their faces. They are the unloved, the damaged, the forgotten, the damned. Among the women working South Yorkshire’s streets, rumors of a serial killer have long circulated. But the police’s top brass don’t want to know about it. Talk of serial killers panics the public and embarrasses the department. But two very different detectives, each driven by their own dangerous obsessions, are being drawn into a murky world of perversion, murder and corruption that stretches from the streets to the corridors of power. Ben Cheetham self-published his first novel, Blood Guilt, in 2011. It sold more than 100,000 copies.

Spider’s Web A Steel City Thriller #4 Ben Cheetham “Fast-moving action and lots of twists make this debut novel a most enjoyable read.” —Times on Blood Guilt “A tough case for DI Jim Monaghan . . . demonstrating Cheetham’s gritty authority in a novel that grips the reader by the throat.” —Good Books Guide A sister bent on revenge meets a detective whose obsession may hold the key to her past February 14th, 1993. Sheffield United supporters remember it as the day their team won a famous victory against Manchester United. The date is lodged in Anna Young’s brain for a different reason. That was the day her 13-year-old sister, Jessica, was ab- ducted. Fast forward 20 years. The case has long since gone cold. But Anna won’t let it die. She made a promise to look after her little sister. And it’s a promise she intends to keep no matter how long it takes. A detective with one thing on his mind, Jim Monahan is equally determined to bring down a sadistic sex-ring. But everywhere he turns, he finds himself entangled in a web of political power and silence. Then comes a bizarre 20-year-old clue that might just blow the whole thing apart. Ben Cheetham self-published his first novel, Blood Guilt, in 2011. It sold more than 100,000 copies.

301 White Sands Experiences from the Outside World Geoff Dyer “Dyer is to essays what Anthony Bourdain is to food. . . . That rare writer one reads not to learn something new but to enjoy his sidelong take on a subject.” —L.A. Times on Another Great Day at Sea “This is what I find most remarkable about Dyer: his tone. Its simplicity, its classlessness, its accessibility and yet its eru- dition. . . . [Dyer’s humor is] what separates him from Berg- er and Lawrence and Sontag: it’s what makes these essays not just an education, but a joy.” —Zadie Smith, Harper’s Magazine on Otherwise Known as the Human Condition New essays from one of the world’s greatest globetrotters Episodic, wide-ranging, funny, and smart, this exploration of why we travel marks a return to the subject of Dyer’s most successful book, Yoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It, albeit with the wisdom of age. From viewing a lightning field in the Mexican desert by night, to chasing Gauguin’s ghost in French Polynesia, from falling in love with a tour guide in the Forbidden City of Beijing to tracking down the house of a childhood idol in L.A., Dyer pursues all permutations of the peak experience. His trademark style blends travel writing, essay, criticism, and fiction, with a smart and cantankerous wit that is unmatched. Like Alain De Botton’s On Travel and Rebecca Sol- nit’s A Field Guide to Getting Lost, this is a book for armchair travelers and slacker philosophers everywhere. Geoff Dyer has won the Somerset Maugham Prize, the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, a Lannan Lit- erary Award, the International Center of Photography’s 2006 Infinity Award for writing on photography, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ E.M. Forster Award. In 2009 he was named GQ’s writer of the year. He also won a National Book Critics Circle Award in 2012.

302 One Life My Mother’s Story Kate Grenville “Written in the third-person, blending her mother’s plain, brisk language and her own novelistic skills . . . moving . . . Grenville’s feminist instincts, which run quietly through her life and writing, built on her mother’s example.” —Sydney Morning Herald “A work of imaginative sympathy, it is as successful as it is audacious . . . Clear, authentic and utterly engaging . . . Provides a microcosm for the changes taking place on the world stage in the period spanned.” —Independent on Sunday From the author of The Secret River and The Lieutenant comes a deeply moving homage to her mother One Life is the story of Nance Russell, whose life spanned a century of tumult and change. In an act of great imaginative sympathy, her daughter Kate Grenville has drawn on the fragments of memoir Nance left, to create an intimate account of the patterns in her mother’s life. In many ways Nance’s story echoes that of many mothers and grandmothers, for whom the spectacular shifts of the 20th century offered a path to new freedoms and choices. In other ways Nance was exceptional. In an era when women were expected to have no ambitions beyond the domestic, she ran successful businesses as a registered pharmacist, laid the bricks for the family home, and discovered her husband’s secret life as a revolutionary. Kate Grenville’s novel The Secret River received the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award. The Idea of Perfection won the Orange Prize. Grenville’s other novels include Sarah Thornhill, The Lieutenant, Lilian’s Story, Dark Places, and Joan Makes History.

Gods of the Morning A Bird’s Eye View of a Highland Year John Lister-Kaye “I love this book. No one writes more movingly, or with such transporting poetic skill, about encounters with wild creatures.” —Helen Macdonald, New York Times bestselling author of H is for Hawk “Lister-Kaye is a gifted writer, braiding memories of childhood and wide-ranging journeys as a naturalist with the rhythms of life at Aigas . . . Gods of the Morning perfectly encapsulates the paradoxical relations human beings have to the natural world.” —Wall Street Journal An inspiring, poetic celebration of the author’s deep relationship with his local landscape, and the birds that come and go through the year For more than three decades, John Lister-Kaye has been enraptured by the spectacular seasonal metamorphosis at Aigas, the world-renowned Highlands field center. Over the years, the glen’s wildlife has come to infiltrate his soul, whether it is a warbling blackcap’s cascad- ing refrains, whooper swans hauling winter along with them, pine martens causing havoc in the hen run, or a regal roe buck strutting in the broom and gorse, suddenly gilded by a fiery ray of sunlight. He has come to understand intimately these creatures’ movements, but increasingly unpredictable weather patterns have caused sometimes subtle, sometimes seis- mic shifts in their behavior. This study follows a year through the turning of the seasons at Aigas, exploring the habits of the Highland animals, and in particular the birds—his gods of the morning—for whom he has a lifelong passion. This affectionate and wise celebration of the British landscape and the birds that come and go through the year is a lyrical reminder of the relationship we have lost with the seasons, and a call to look afresh at the natural world around us. John Lister-Kaye is the author of nine books, including At the Water’s Edge.

303 Realm Divided A Year in the Life of Plantagenet England Dan Jones A vivid, in-the-round portrait of English society in the year of Magna Carta, from the bestselling author of The Plantagenets England, 1215. The year of Magna Carta and King John’s war with his barons, but also of crusading and church reform, of foreign wars and dramatic sieges, of trade and treachery; a year in which London would be stormed by angry barons; England would be invaded by a French army; and a supposedly impregnable castle would be brought down with burning pig fat. But this was also a year in which life, for most people, just went on. Thus 1215 opens a window onto everyday life in the 13th century. It offers a vivid and authoritative portrait— from royal court to peasant wedding—of medieval life in the round, as well as an exhilarating and revelatory exploration of the big themes of politics, warfare, religion, feudalism, mercan- tilism, travel, and the law in a transformative year in English history. Dan Jones is an award-winning journalist and the bestselling author of The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England.

No More Champagne Churchill and His Money David Lough “Brilliantly illuminates one of the few unexplored aspects of Winston Churchill’s life.” —Piers Brendon, former Keeper of the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge The untold story of Winston Churchill’s precarious finances—and one of most original and surprising book about Churchill to emerge for many years The popular image of Churchill conjures up a man of wealth and substance. The reality is that Britain’s most celebrated 20th-century statesman lived for most of his life on a financial cliff-edge. Only fragments of information about his finances have previously emerged. With the help of unprecedented access to Churchill’s private records, David Lough creates the first fully researched narrative of Churchill’s private finances and business affairs. As he reveals the scale of Churchill’s financial risk-taking, combined with an ability to talk or write himself out of the tightest of corners, the links between the private man and public figure become clear. David Lough is a financial advisor. Biography • 528 Pages • 5 x 8 • 9781784081829 • June • (Can $18.95) • Trade Paper Rights: Canada • Head of Zeus

83 Minutes Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne A comprehensive, truly horrifying account of the crucial minutes leading up to Michael Jackson’s tragic passing On June 25th, 2009, the world was rocked by the tragic news that Michael Jackson was pronounced dead on arrival at a Los Angeles hospital. He was 50 years old. As the news reverberated around the world, it was accompanied by even more shocking and controversial information—the revelation that Jackson had died in the care of his personal physician, Doctor Conrad Murray, a whole 83 minutes before Murray put in a 911 call. In this comprehensive and truly horrifying account of those crucial minutes—Murray’s frantic attempts to cover his tracks and revive his client before the truth could be revealed—are laid bare. This is a compelling, multi-perspective tracking of all who were involved at the scene, and their part to play in the events surrounding Jackson’s tragic passing. The cocktail of drugs employed to keep Jackson alive, administered by Murray himself; the harrowing conditions in which this troubled musical genius ended his life, are all described from official court documents. Matt Richards is an award-winning film director, television producer and screenwriter. Mark Langthorne is CEO of Roland Mouret and has previously worked in the music industry and managed such stars as Kanye West and Annie Lennox.
