I’ve Bought It, So I’ll Drink It The Joys (or Not) of Drinking Wine Paul Keers and Charles Jennings “The funniest wine-book I’ve read in a long time. Not just laugh-aloud funny but snortingly, choke-on-your-cornflakes funny up there with Kingsley Amis and Jay McInerney.” —Julian Barnes, author, The Sense of an Ending For those of us who so often fail to detect notes of citrus and caramel, but mainly get a hint of alcohol with a grapey finish, the book is as refreshing as a glass of decent Muscadet on a summer’s day For people who wouldn’t know a Romanée-Conti from a bad-boy Argentine malbec, or a glass of Château d’Yquem from a can of orange Tango, help is at hand. Based on the authors’ highly esteemed blog, Sediment (described by Nicholas Lezard of the Guardian as “the finest wine blog known to humanity”), this book takes a wry look at the social, financial, personal and marital issues surrounding middle-class wine drinking. Covering such vital topics as befriending a wine merchant, high-street wine from supermarkets and corner shops, tools of the trade like the pichet and tumblers, dining-table wine etiquette, wine in a box, the cubi flagon, wine drinking in the Georgian era, and even homage to le Piat d’Or, this is not a book that takes wine too seriously. Instead, it wrestles it out of the bottle, pins it down and makes it tell the truth, in language we can all understand. By writing humorously, and much more broadly than specialist wine writers, CJ and PK break out of the wine-writing niche, with its exclusive vocabulary and faint air of superiority. Paul Keers and Charles Jennings’s blog, Sediment, was Best New Wine Blog Finalist in the 2011 Wine Blog Awards, and in 2012 was Runner-Up in the Best Editorial Wine Writing category of the Born Digital Wine Awards. Their e-book, Wining and Dining, was shortlisted for the Guardian’s Best Drink Books of the Year 2013.

Whisky Island Behind the Scenes at Islay’s Legendary Single Malt Distilleries Fiona Rintoul Photographs by Konrad Borkowski A celebration of the tastes, smells and history of the whiskies of Islay and Jura, illustrated with stunning photographs Islay and Jura are the mystical, magical islands in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides that boast nine active distilleries, countless world renowned blends and malts and their own whisky classification, protected by Scots law. This book is a celebration of the whiskies of Islay and Jura, and of the islands that shaped them. With a population of just over 3,000 between them, Islay and Jura produce some of the finest whiskies in the world. Islay is perhaps best known for smoky, phenolic spirits, such as Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg. These have been dis- tilled in its rocky coves of the sheltered east coast for more than 200 years. But in truth Islay and Jura produce a dram for every palette, and their vibrant and expanding whisky industry is a constant source of renewed excellence and taste innovation. Fiona Rintoul provides a background and history to the islands and their distilling, alongside tasting notes on the main malts and blends. Konrad Borkowski, who lives on Jura, provides stunning full color photographs, documenting each distillery at work through the seasons. Fiona Rintoul is a financial journalist, author, literary translator, and whisky aficionado. She is the author of Leipzig, which won the Virginia Prize and was shortlisted for the Saltire Scottish First Book Prize. Konrad Borkowski is a professional photographer.

Playing with Fire The Art of Chopping and Burning Wood Paul Heiney A practical guide on how best to light fires, looking after a fire at home, how to gather the perfect firewood, and more The blaze of a log fire on a cold night speaks to the heart in a way no other flame can. It has character and ever-changing form; it has vibrant color and a balletic movement. Indeed, it was the flame that transformed the way life was lived on earth, but now that primary driver of evolution finds itself being extinguished in a modern world of microwaves and central heating. But the sight of a flame remains as evocative as ever, and this how-to book will tell you how to bring fire back into your life.

9 Food from the Fire The Scandinavian Flavours of Open-fire Cooking Niklas Ekstedt The crackling of birch, the sizzle of the pot and the scent of wood smoke in the air—the relaxed style that typifies Scandinavian open-fire cooking is explored in this cool new cookbook from Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt, who is famed for cooking over wood only This innovative selection of recipes highlights the best of modern Nordic food, themed around ancient cooking methods. Fire pits are easy and affordable to source, even portable types are available for those with limited outdoor space, and wood is re-emerging as a fuel source. Considering how little specialist equipment is required, the flavors achievable with this back-to- basics method of cooking are outstanding. Niklas’ book naturally features plenty of fire-building tips, aromatic smoking recipes, pickling and preserving techniques, but he doesn’t expect you to go foraging for ingredients or to give up cooking in a traditional kitchen—a cast iron skillet over a gas flame will produce similar results. Easy to find ingredients mix with easy cooking techniques to produce delicious family feasts and food for sharing. From simple Ember-baked Salmon with Cucumber and Fennel; to Cast-Iron Pan-Fried Lobster, Saffron Mayonnaise and Pickled Vegetables; to Hazelnut Cake, Warm Cloudberries and Yogurt, this is food to excite the appetite of the modern cook and inspire your next family or party gathering. Includes dual measures. Niklas Ekstedt is founder of the Michelin-starred EKSTEDT, in Stockholm; a restaurant that uses only Scandinavian wood in their magnificent fire pit or their wood-fired oven to give the food a truly unique character. No electric cooker, no gas burners. EK- STEDT was named second in Zagat’s “Ten Hottest Restaurants in the World.” He has done stints at Charlie Trotter in Chicago, as well as El Bulli and the Fat Duck. He is the author of Scandi- navian Classics. Cooking • 240 Pages • 7.5 x 9.5 • 182 Color Photos 9781910904343 • September • $35.00 (Can $47.00) Cloth • Rights: US & Canada • Pavilion

Divided into four chapters by season, the projects are inspired by the joys of home, friendship and family gatherings, and are all constructed using seasonal flowers and foliage. Explained step-by-step, the easy-to-follow projects range from simple hand-tied bouquets and vase arrangements, to floral chandeliers, wedding decorations and festive garlands and wreaths.

The Value of Weeds Ann Cliff For all gardeners who wish to make use of a long-neglected resource Weeds are wild plants that have survived in the face of centuries of hostility. Many gardeners who are unfamiliar with the versatility of weeds think of them as a nuisance. They can be good, bad, dangerous, or beautiful. Above all, they are tough. This essential guide explores the virtues of good weeds, including how they can protect soil and add to soil fertility; act as companion plants in gardens; provide food for farm livestock; support wild life; provide herbal remedies for minor ailments; yield vegetable dyes; and finally, give us weed cuisine: nutritious food and drink for free. Ann Cliff is a farmer and an untidy gardener. She has written many books and articles on practical country living.

22 Topiary, Knots and Parterres Caroline Foley Caroline Foley—with the aid of quotations from diarists, writers, wits, garden designers, gardeners and garden owners—traces the story of topiary, knots and parterres After a brief survey of Roman topiary, this book moves on through the formal parterres of Renaissance Italy and the more elaborate broderies of the royal French gardens (copied in palace gardens throughout Europe), the complicated conceits of the Tu- dors and the geometry of the Dutch school. It takes a wry look at the 18th century, when many fine formal gardens were scrapped in favor of the English landscape school, which, in fact, was no less artificial. In the 19th century there was a revival of parterres filled with tender bedding plants. Green architecture returned with the Arts and Crafts movement, became unfashionable in the mid-20th century and has had a revival in the last decade or so in a more abstract and sculptural form, inspired somewhat by Japanese “cloud” topiary. Widening the story beyond the topiary of Europe and the west, there are chapters on the ancient art of Japanese topiary and on labyrinths and mazes from Minoa.

23 Head Gardeners Ambra Edwards Photographs by Charlie Hopkinson Meet the head gardeners of some of the UK’s most special gardens This book explores the lives, vision, and achievements of 12 very special head gardeners, and, through a series of profiles, examines the various roles of the head gardener today— project manager, conservationist, artist, designer, engineer, historian, scientific investigator, social worker, and PR. Gardening is an art form the English have made their own, and which they have been exporting to the rest of the word for the last three centuries. It is also an important economic contributor to the British economy. Great gardens like Kew and Wisley attract more visitors every year than Stonehenge or the Houses of Parliament. Gardens are hugely important, yet by their very nature they are mutable. What makes them special is the input of the people who look after them—the head gardeners. Ambra Edwards is the author of Gardening in a Changing Climate. A regular contributor to the Guardian, the Telegraph, Gardens Illustrated and Country Living, she has twice been awarded the title of Garden Journalist of the Year by the Garden Media Guild. Char- lie Hopkinson is a portrait and landscape photographer specializing in the arts, gardening and landscape.

24 The Golden Age of the Garden A Miscellany A treasure trove of writing that charts the unfolding of a gardening obsession throughout history The relationship between England and its gardens might be described as a love affair; gardening is one of their national passions, rooted in their history. The 18th century is often called the Golden Age of English gardening. As the fashion for formal pleasure grounds for the wealthy faded, pioneers including William Kent and Capability Brown created masterpieces of landscape design, ushering in a new era of picturesque vistas inspired by nature. From these creations spring the very idea of Englishness—rolling hills, beautiful curves, aesthetic surprises, and architectural delights. Charting the transformation in a love of the garden through the 18th and 19th centuries, The Golden Age of the Garden brings the voices of the past alive in newspaper reports, letters, diaries, books, essays, and travelogs, offering contemporary gardening advice; principles of garden design; reflections on nature, landscape, and plants; and a unique perspective on the origins of the fascination with gardens. Exploring the different styles, techniques, and innovations of the past, and the creation of many of the stunning gardens still visited today, this is a beautiful, evocative, and rewarding collection for all gardeners seeking insight, new ideas, surprises, and inspiration. Claire Cock-Starkey is a writer, editor, and researcher specializing in historical miscellanies and natural history. She worked with Ben Schott on his highly popular sports miscellany, and was series editor for all six editions of Schott’s Almanac. She writes regularly for Mental Floss and is the author of Penguins, Pineapples and Pangolins, Famous Last Words, and How to Skin a Lion.

A Sweet, Wild Note What We Hear When the Birds Sing Richard Smyth A cultural history of the enduring love of birdsong Birdsong is woven into culture, emotions, and landscape. It is the soundtrack to our world, shaping experiences of place and belonging. We have tried to capture this fleeting, ephemeral beauty, and the feelings it inspires, for millennia. In this rich and insightful account, Richard Smyth asks what it is about birdsong that we so love, exploring the myriad ways in which it has influenced literature, music, and art, our feelings about the natural world, and our very ideas of what it means to be human. Does the song-thrush mean to sing “a full-hearted evensong/Of joy illimited,” as he does in Hardy’s poem “The Darkling Thrush?” Examining his own conflicted love of birdsong, Smyth’s nuanced investigation shows that what we hear says as much about us, our dreams and desires, as it does about the birds and their songs. At a time when birdsong is growing quieter, with fewer voices, more thinly spread, this beautiful book is a celebration of the complex relationships between birds, people, and landscape; it is also a passionate call to arms and an invitation to act lest our trees and hedges fall silent. Richard Smyth is a writer, researcher, and editor. He is a regular contributor to Bird Watch- ing magazine, and he writes and reviews for the Times, Guardian, Times Literary Supple- ment, Literary Review, New Statesman, and BBC Wildlife.

27 The Art of Flight Fredrik Sjöberg “The Geoff Dyer of Sweden: Funny, astute, intellectually voracious, simultaneously self-absorbed and self-critical.” —New Yorker on The Fly Trap “A charming, off-the-beaten track, humorously self-deprecating memoir. . . . Filled with delightful observations. . . . The Fly Trap stands as proof that great writing can lend a buzz (sorry!) to even the most unlikely subjects.” —NPR Following from The Fly Trap, the massively critically acclaimed New York Times Nota- ble Book, comes the second in a trilogy that explores the ideas of travel and the passion for collecting—new in paperback Stories just begin. We rarely know where and almost never why. It doesn’t matter. Nothing is certain any longer. I just want to shut my eyes, point at random and say, as a sort of experiment, that once, when I was sixteen years old, I spent a whole night singing romantic songs in the top of a pine tree. That’s where it may have started. In this follow-up to The Fly Trap, Sjöberg continues to explore the pleasures and trials of those who spend their time tracing the smallest details of the natural world. Calling on his childhood memories and experience as a hoverfly collector, and following the trail of long forgotten entomologists before him who left their native Sweden for the U.S., Sjöberg contemplates the richness of life and the strange paths it leads us on. Fredrik Sjöberg collects hoverflies on the island of Runmarö, in the archipelago east of Stock- holm. He is also a literary critic, translator, cultural columnist and the author of the critically acclaimed The Fly Trap.

The Last Crocodile Hunter A Father and Son Legacy Bob Irwin and Amanda French Bob Irwin shares his extraordinary life as a wildlife pioneer, father to wildlife warrior Steve Irwin and founder of Australia Zoo Bob Irwin grew up in the Dandenong Ranges where his passion for wildlife was born. A near-death experience made him realize he needed to follow his dreams, so he and his wife Lyn moved their young family to Queensland and opened a wildlife park. The Irwin children grew up around the Beerwah Reptile & Wildlife Park, learned about the animals from their dad and cared for orphaned wildlife with their mother. This unique upbringing had a profound impact on Bob’s son Steve, who became world-famous as the Crocodile Hunter, educator and wildlife warrior. Bob nearly didn’t survive the sudden death of his adored wife Lyn, and it was Steve who helped him face life again. When the world tragically lost Steve to a freak diving accident, it wasn’t just the animals that lost the best friend they ever had. Bob did too. Describing it as moving forward without a map, Bob spent many years burying himself in physical work, to cope with the loss of his son. It was the natural world and the animals within it that helped Bob to keep going, and since then he has continued to fight for Steve’s legacy of protecting the wildlife, environment and planet on which our own survival depends. The Last Crocodile Hunter shows the heart and soul of a great Australian character, father and wildlife campaigner. Bob Irwin is a celebrated Australian naturalist, animal conservationist, and a pioneering herpetologist. He was the founder of Australia Zoo in 1973. His work has had a major influence on wildlife management today. Bob is continuing his and Steve’s legacy though the Bob Irwin Wildlife & Conservation Foundation. Amanda French is a media and communications specialist across wildlife causes. She works with Bob Irwin to provide support to many Aus- tralian wildlife organizations through Bob’s public advocacy.

Discovering Dorothea The Life of the Pioneering Fossil-Hunter Dorothea Bate Third edition Karolyn Shindler “Shindler’s excellent book serves to illuminate not only the travails of fieldwork a century ago, but also the problems faced by women seeking to carve out their own intellectual space. . . . A compelling read.” —Richard Fortey, author, Earth: An Intimate History This vivid and engaging biography reveals not only a unique and indomitable woman, but also the expanding world of archaeology in the first half of the 20th century In 1898, a 19-year-old girl marched into the Natural History Museum and demanded a job. At the time, no women were employed there as scientists, but for the determined Dorothea Bate this was the first step in an extraordinary career as a pioneering explorer and fossil-hunter and the beginning of an association with the Museum that was to last for more than 50 years. As a young woman she explored the islands of Cyprus, Crete and the little known Majorca and Menorca, braving parental opposition and considerable physical hardship and danger. In remote mountain caves and sea-battered cliffs, she discovered, against enormous odds, the fossil evidence of unique species of extinct fauna, previously unknown to science, including dwarf elephants and hippos, giant dormice and a strange small goat-like antelope. Internationally respected as an outstanding palaeontologist during her lifetime, Dorothea was largely forgotten after her death. Now, working from unpublished letters, papers and work diaries and re-tracing her steps, Karolyn Shindler has rediscovered Dorothea’s life. Karolyn Shindler is a former producer and editor at the BBC. She also worked as a political consultant to BBC World Service, and is a contributor to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

Walden Henry David Thoreau Introduction by Benjamin Markovits “It is as philosophy, as one of the great self-help books, as a spiritual message, that is Walden at its most powerful.” —Washington Post “Walden can be taken as an antidote to apathy and anxiety. With its high spirits and keen appeals to the senses, it fortifies.” —John Updike One of America’s most iconic literary masterworks, this edition marks the 200th anniversary of Henry David Thoreau’s birth In 1845, the American Transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau went to live in the woods near his hometown of Concord, Massachusetts. For over two years he resided there largely in solitary, in a small cabin built by his own hands. Walden is his personal account of this time, in which he documents both his passion for the landscape and wildlife of Walden Pond, and his philosophical and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define not only America, but much of the modern world. Henry David Thoreau was born in 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts, the town where he would live for most of his life. Along with Ralph Waldo Emerson, he is the most famous of the American Transcendentalists. Benjamin Markovits has written for the New York Times, Granta, The Paris Review, and Esquire. His books include You Don’t Have to Live Like This. Classics • 448 Pages • 5 x 7.75 • 9781784872410 • October • $12.95 • Trade Paper Rights: US • Random House UK/Vintage Classics

Herland Charlotte Perkins Gilman “Deeply, viscerally empowering . . . Gilman goes for it in a way that even some twenty-first century progressives shy away from in the name of diplomacy.” —Lindy West The feminist classic with an introduction from Lindy West, author of Shrill, and a cover that can be animated with the use of an inserted sheet When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere.

She was a feminist and journalist and is best remembered for her short story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Gilman was a Suffragette, a public speaker on social issues and the editor of a number of literary magazines during her career.

Silver Bullets Classic Werewolf Stories Showcasing the work of some of the best-known names in 19th- and 20th-century fiction alongside the twisted tales of their lesser-known but equally chilling contemporaries Of the monsters that stalked the pages of 19th- and early 20th-century fiction, the werewolf has continued to represent the beast lurking underneath the veneer of human civilization to this day, a composite creature which is all too easily released and, once at large, difficult to constrain. From one of the very first werewolf stories appearing in Britain to a tale published after World War I, this collection brings together the greatest werewolf fiction from a period stretching to nearly a century, uniting figures as diverse as Hans Christian Andersen, Rudy- ard Kipling, and the Suffragette writer Clemence Housman.

The Body on the Doorstep #1 A.J. MacKenzie In the first in the Hardcastle and Chaytor series, Reverend Hardcastle faces a smuggling mystery within a community unwilling to help Kent, 1796: shocked to discover a dying man on his doorstep—and lucky to avoid a bullet himself—Reverend Hardcastle finds himself entrusted with the victim’s cryptic last words. With smuggling rife on England’s south-east coast, the obvious conclusion is that this was a falling out among thieves. But why is the leader of the local Customs service so reluctant to investigate? Ably assisted by the ingenious Mrs. Chaytor, Hard- castle sets out to solve the mystery for himself. But smugglers are not the only ones to lurk off the Kent coast, and the more he discovers, the more he realizes he might have bitten off more than he can chew.

The Body in the Ice #2 A.J. MacKenzie Captivating amateur sleuths and a bitter family feud create a twisting tale that vividly brings to life 18th-century Britain Christmas Day, Kent, 1796: on the frozen fields of Romney Marsh stands New Hall; silent, lifeless, deserted. In its grounds lies an unexpected Christmas offering: a corpse, frozen into the ice of a horse pond. It falls to the Reverend Hardcastle, justice of the peace in St. Mary in the Marsh, to investigate. But with the victim’s identity unknown, no murder weapon, and no known motive, it seems like an impossible task. Working along with his trusted friend, Amelia Chaytor, and new arrival Captain Ed- ward Austen, Hardcastle soon discovers there is more to the mystery than there first appeared. With the arrival of an American family torn apart by war and desperate to reclaim their ancestral home and a French spy returning to the scene of his crimes, ancient loyalties and new vengeance combine to make Hardcastle and Mrs. Chaytor’s attempts to discover the secret of New Hall all the more dangerous.

70 Arminius The Limits of Empire Robert Fabbri “Fabbri presents a powerfully chilling, detailed and dramatic depiction of those terrible days in the forest.” —Express A stunning stand-alone Roman epic from the author of the Vespasian series AD 9: In the depths of the Teutoburg Wald, in a landscape riven by ravines, darkened by ancient oak and bisected by fast-flowing streams, Arminius of the Cherusci led a confederation of six Germanic tribes in the annihilation of three Roman legions. Deep in the forest almost 20,000 men were massacred without mercy; fewer than 200 of them ever made it back across the Rhine. To Rome’s shame, three sacred Eagles were lost that day. But Arminius wasn’t brought up in Germania Magna—he had been raised as a Roman. This is the story of how Arminius came to turn his back on the people who raised him and went on to commit a betrayal so great and so deep, it echoed through the ages. Robert Fabbri has worked in film and TV for 25 years as an assistant director. He is the author of the Vespasian series.

Saviour of Rome #7 Douglas Jackson “Superb battle scenes . . . I was gripped from start to finish.” —Ben Kane, author, The Forgotten Legion Seventh in the action-packed, rigorously researched Gaius Valerius Verrens series AD 72. Titus Flavius Vespasianus, known as Vespasian, is Emperor of Rome, but his grip on power grows increasingly fragile as economic disaster threatens. The enormous riches from his Judaean campaigns are all but spent, legions go unpaid, and the yields from Rome’s vital Spanish goldfields have fallen dramatically since the civil war. Gaius Valerius Verrens is recently married and building a new home when the summons arrives from the Emperor. Vespasian needs a man with the combined skills of a lawyer and a soldier to investigate what is happening in remote, mountainous Asturica Augusta where the authorities claim a bandit called The Ghost is ravaging the gold convoys. But when Valerius arrives in Asturica he faces a much more complex situation. Stalked from the shadows he cannot tell ally from enemy, the exploited native tribes are a growing threat, and the tortured landscape itself seems capable of swallowing him up. Gradually he finds himself drawn into a much wider conspiracy, one that could plunge the Empire into a new conflict and that will place him on a deadly collision course with his old friend and most dangerous adversary, the former gladiator Serpentius. Douglas Jackson is the author of Caligula and Claudius as well as the Gaius Valerius Verrens series.

One night, Akram Khan walks out of his house towards an appointed time and place where he is supposed to detonate a bomb that will end his life and that of many innocent bystand- ers. As he wanders through the town he encounters Grace, whose life has been marred just as his has, forming an unlikely closeness borne of need and necessity. Akram tells Grace about his seemingly inexorable journey towards radicalization: a childhood within the tight- knit Pakistani community, his complex friendships among outcasts, his disastrous years in the army, and his empty arranged marriage to a woman who remains a stranger. Delicately drawn, Akram’s War is an honest and shocking kaleidoscopic portrait of contemporary Brit- ain, and of the ways in which the twists and turns of fate can scar and mark a life. Nadim Safdar was born to Pakistani parents and grew up in the Black Country. He is a former stand-up comedian who was named one of the “new faces of fiction” in The Observer on Sunday.

79 Gull Glenn Patterson “Patterson has written a decorous book about a big, indecorous American failure. . . . Patterson is alert to every nuance. He is by now a tremendously proficient novelist. . . . A rich, fictional achievement.” —Literary Review “Glenn Patterson has become the most serious and humane chronicler of Northern Ireland over the past thirty years, as well as one of the best contemporary Irish novelists.” —Colm Toibin on The International A great American hustler is brought to vivid life in the most unlikely setting imaginable It was one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland: the construction, during the war’s most savage phase, of a factory in West Belfast to make a luxury sports car with gull-wing doors. Huge subsidies were provided by the British government. The first car rolled off the line during the appalling hunger strikes of 1981. The prime mover and central character of this intelligent, witty and moving novel was John DeLorean, brilliant engineer, charismatic entrepreneur and world-class conman. He comes to energetic, seductive life through the eyes of his fixer in Belfast, a traumatized Vietnam veteran, and of a woman who takes a job in the factory against the wishes of her husband. Each of them has secrets and desires they dare not share with anyone they know. Glenn Patterson is the author of The International and The Rest Just Follows. He co-wrote the screenplay of the film Good Vibrations, based on the Belfast music scene of the 1970s.

The Other Country Carol Ann Duffy An urgent early collection from Carol Ann Duffy—as remarkable today as on its first publication This book leads our imagination to places our minds could not have suspected were there, or would not have dared to go alone.

88 Feminine Gospels Carol Ann Duffy “One of Britain’s premier poets here does what she does best, joining wild, surrealistic imagery and pointillist detail to create sharply realized, visionary poems. . . . Duffy never settles for mere cleverness. Her poetic technique is sure and subtle.” —Booklist Carol Ann Duffy draws on the historical, the archetypal, the biblical and the fantastical to create various visions—and revisions—of female identity Simultaneously stripping women bare and revealing them in all their guises and disguises, these poems tell tall stories as though they were true confessions, and spin modern myths from real women seen in every aspect—as bodies and corpses, writers and workers, shoppers and slimmers, fairytale royals or girls-next-door.

Rapture Carol Ann Duffy The T.S. Prize-winning collection from the UK Poet Laureate Rapture, Carol Ann Duffy’s seventh collection, is a book-length love-poem, and a moving act of personal testimony; but what sets these poems apart from other treatments of the subject is that Duffy refuses to simplify the contradictions of love, and read its transformations—in- fatuation, longing, passion, commitment, rancor, separation and grief—as simply redemptive or destructive. Rapture is a map of real love, in all its churning complexity. Yet in showing us that a song can be made of even the most painful episodes in our lives, Duffy has accessed a new level of directness that sacrifices nothing in the way of subtlety of expression. These are poems that will find deep rhymes in the experience of most readers, and nowhere has Duffy more eloquently articulated her belief that poetry should speak for us all. Carol Ann Duffy has been Britain’s Poet Laureate since 2009. Her collections include The World’s Wife, Rapture, and The Bees, which won the Costa Poetry Award. She has also received the Whitbread, Forward and T. S. Eliot Prizes, and the Lannan and E. M. Forster Prize in the U.S. Poetry • 80 Pages • 5 x 7.75 • 9781509852789 • October • $13.95 • Trade Paper Rights: US • Pan Macmillan/Picador

The Bees Carol Ann Duffy “Beautiful and moving poetry for the real world.” —Jeanette Winterson A winner of the Costa Book Award, and Duffy’s first collection as Poet Laureate Here Carol Ann Duffy uses her full poetic range: there are drinking songs, love poems, poems of political anger; there are elegies, too, for beloved friends, and—most movingly—the poet’s own mother. Woven and weaving through the book is its presiding spirit: the bee. Sometimes the bee is Duffy’s subject, sometimes it strays into the poem, or hovers at its edge. In the end, Duffy’s point is clear: the bee symbolizes what we have left of grace in the world, and what is most precious and necessary for us to protect. The Bees, at once intimate and public, is a work of great power from one of our most cherished poets. Carol Ann Duffy has been Britain’s Poet Laureate since 2009.

The Greeks Had a Word for It Words You Never Knew You Can’t Do Without Andrew Taylor A smörgåsbord of foreign words that we don’t have in English, but really should Do you ever search in vain for exactly the right word? Perhaps you want to articulate the vague desire to be far away. Or you can’t quite convey that odd urge to go outside and check to see if anyone is coming. Maybe you’re struggling to express there being just the right amount of something—not too much, but not too little. While the English may not have a word for it, the good news is that the Greeks, the Norwegians, the Dutch or possibly the Inuits probably do. Whether it’s the Norwegian forelsket (that feeling of euphoria at the start of a love affair) or the Indonesian jayus (a joke so poorly told and so unfunny that you can’t help but laugh), this delightful smörgåsbord of wonderful words from around the world will come to the rescue when the English language fails.

May We Borrow Your Language? How English Steals Words from All Over the World Philip Gooden Words that English has borrowed from other languages over its 1,500-year history The English language that is spoken by one billion people around the world is a linguistic mon- grel, its vocabulary a diverse mix resulting from centuries of borrowing from other tongues. From the Celtic languages of pre-Roman Britain to Norman French; from the Vikings’ Old Scandinavian to Persian, Sanskrit, Algonquian, Cantonese and Hawaiian, amongst a host of others, we have enriched our modern language with such words as tulip, slogan, doolally, avocado, moccasin, ketchup and ukulele. This book explores the intriguing and unfamiliar stories behind scores of familiar words that the English language has filched; in so doing, it also sheds fascinating light on the wider history of the development of the English we speak today. Full of etymological nuggets to intrigue and delight the reader, this is a gift book for word buffs to cherish—as cerebrally stimulating as it is entertaining.

It also considers where we are now, appraising the invention of new words—from kidult to pis- cetarian.

99 Twenty First Century Horror Films Douglas Keesey From the vengeful ghosts of J-horror to the walking dead in 28 Days and World War Z, and from the creepiness of Spain’s haunted houses to the graphic gore of the New French Extremism This lively and illuminating book explores over 100 contemporary horror films, providing insightful and provocative readings of what they mean while including numerous quotes from their creators. Some of these films, including The Babadook, The Green Inferno, It Follows, The Neon Demon, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and The Witch, are so recent that this will be one of the first times they are discussed in book form. The book is divided into three main sections: “nightmares,” “nations,” and “innovations.” “Nightmares” looks at new manifestations of traditional fears, including creepy dolls, haunted houses and demonic possession as well as vampires, werewolves, witches and zombies; and also considers more contemporary anxieties such as dread of home invasion and homophobia. “Nations” explores fright films from around the world, including Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Spain and Sweden as well as the UK and the U.S. “Innovations” focuses on the latest trends in terror from 3D to found-footage films, from Twilight teen romance to torture porn, and from body horror and eco-horror to techno-horror. Parodies, remakes and American adaptations of Asian horror are also discussed. Douglas Keesey is the author of Neo-Noir, Erotic Cinema, and Brian De Palma’s Split Screen. He is a professor of film and literature at California Polytechnic State University.

American Noir The Pocket Essential Guide to US Crime Fiction, Film & TV Barry Forshaw “Unsurprisingly Barry Forshaw’s Brit Noir is a wonderful reference book that any self-respecting and serious connoisseur of crime fiction needs to have on their bookshelf.” —Shots Magazine The author of Nordic Noir, Brit Noir and Euro Noir now tackles the largest and, some might argue, most impressive body of crime fiction from a single country, to produce the perfect reader’s guide to modern American crime fiction. The word “Noir” is used here in its loosest sense: every major living American writer is considered (including the giants Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, James Lee Burke, James Ellroy and Sara Paretsky, as well as non-crime writers such as Stephen King who stray into the genre), often through a concentration on one or two key books. Many exciting new tal- ents are highlighted, and Barry Forshaw’s knowledge of—and personal acquaintance with— many of the writers grants valuable insights into this massively popular field. But the crime genre is as much about films and TV as it is about books, and this book is a celebration of the former as well as the latter. American television crime drama in particular is enjoying a new golden age, and all of the important current series are covered here, as well as key important recent films. Barry Forshaw is the author of Brit Noir, Euro Noir, Nordic Noir, The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction, and The Man Who Left Too Soon. He edits Crime Time and is former Vice Chair of the Crime Writers’ Association.

A Star Is Born The Moment an Actress becomes an Icon George Tiffin A celebration of the world’s greatest movie actresses, from the stars of the golden age to the icons of cinema’s second century Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve: Feted, adored and desired, successful movie actresses are icons of modern culture. But what was it that made them true stars? Was it looks, talent, drive, personality—or just plain luck? What was the first captivating image or unforgettable line that etched them indelibly on our collective memory, and transformed the screen actress of the passing movie credit into the screen goddess of eternal legend? In a sequence of elegant pen-portraits, George Tiffin takes a microscope to the movies and the moments that established 75 female icons of cinema. These pen-portraits are supplemented by quotes, notes and anecdotes, including script excerpts from key scenes. From Oscar-winners to ingénues, and from grande dames to femmes fatales, A Star Is Born is a seductive celebration of the eternal feminine at the heart of the movie business, and an informal and engaging history of cinema itself. George Tiffin is a writer, filmmaker, and director of music videos and commercials. He is the author of All the Best Lines.

Have a Butcher’s The Making of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Stephen Marcus Released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of one of the most seminal British films ever made When Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was released in 1998, few would have proph- esied the impact this low budget crime comedy would have. Almost overnight it became a cultural phenomenon, launched the careers of Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn, and Jason Statham, among others, and spawned a television series and numerous British gangster film rip-offs in the process. Here, actor Stephen Marcus (Nick the Greek in the film) recounts the on-set dramas, the behind-the-scenes banter, his initial meeting with Guy Ritchie, the subsequent trips to Hollywood as the boys basked in critical acclaim, and the financial problems that were only solved when Sting and Trudie Styler came on board. In interviewing many of his co-stars, he remembers the making of a cult favorite. Stephen Marcus has appeared in films such as Quills, Stage Beauty, Iris, Angela’s Ashes, and Kinky Boots, and television such as Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, and Midsomer Murders.

The Beatles in Posters A Collection of Concert Artwork by Tony Booth Tony Booth A must-buy for Fab Four fans, the first time Booth’s iconic posters have appeared in book form Artist Tony Booth worked in Liverpool during the early 1960s, just around the corner from The Cavern Club and close to The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein’s office in Whitechapel. Tony’s work caught Epstein’s eye, and he would go on to produce posters, printed leaflets, and a wide variety of publicity and display material for Epstein’s artists, most notably for a young four-piece beat combo called The Beatles. Alongside his work for Epstein, Tony produced hand-painted gig posters for many promoters, including Sam Leach, Alan Williams, and The Cavern Club’s DJ Bob Wooler, who also promoted many of the big events. Tony’s original posters now fetch a considerable sum of money, and The Beatles in Posters features these as well as his exact replicas of those that have been lost to time. Tony Booth is the original Beatles poster artist and has appeared on television many times to discuss the part he played in the Fab Four’s success.

103 Electric Shock From the Gramophone to the iPhone – 125 Years of Pop Music Peter Doggett “Dauntlessly comprehensive, elegantly parlayed survey of pop’s recorded history.” —MOJO A thrilling, panoramic history of popular music from the birth of recorded sound to the present day Ambitious and groundbreaking, Electric Shock tells the story of popular music, from the birth of recording in the 1890s to the digital age, from the first pop superstars of the twenti- eth century to the omnipresence of music in our lives, in hit singles, ringtones and on Spotify. Over that time, popular music has transformed the world in which we live. Its rhythms have influenced how we walk down the street, how we face ourselves in the mirror, and how we handle the outside world in our daily conversations and encounters. It has influenced our morals and social mores; it has transformed our attitudes towards race and gender, religion and politics. From the beginning of recording, when a musical performance could be preserved for the first time, to the digital age, when all of recorded music is only a mouse-click away; from the straitlaced ballads of the Victorian era and the “coon songs” that shocked America in the early 20th century to gangsta rap, death metal and the multiple strands of modern dance music: Peter Doggett takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the history of music. Within a narrative full of anecdotes and characters, Electric Shock mixes musical critique with wider social and cultural history and shows how revolutionary changes in technology have turned popular music into the lifeblood of the modern world. Peter Doggett has been writing about popular music and social and cultural history for more than 30 years. His books include The Man Who Sold the World: David Bowie and the 1970s and You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles after the Breakup.

Do You Mr Jones? Bob Dylan with the Poets & Professors Dylan laid bare by leading poets and critics In “Ballad of a Thin Man” in 1966, Dylan launched a withering attack on the myopic critic of culture: “Something is happening here/ And you don’t know what it is,/ Do you, Mister Jones?” Yet Dylan has been a subject of consuming interest to many of the most significant poets and critics writing in Britain and Ireland over the last 20 years. It has even been argued that he is the finest living user of the English language—true to his genius through all his changes of stance, a Romantic, constantly exploring the state of his soul as he dons the cloak of lover, clown, cowboy, priest, bleak prophet of doom. In this collection, poets and professors explore different aspects of Dylan’s work, writing about his impact on their own intellectual and artistic lives, as well as his wider influence. Contributors include Simon Ar- mitage, Christopher Butler, Bryan Cheyette, Patrick Crotty, Aidan Day, Mark Ford, Lavinia Greenlaw, Hugh Haughton, Daniel Karlin, Paul Muldoon, Nicholas Roe, Pam Thurschwell and Susan Wheeler. Serious Dylan criticism is rare and these fascinating, specially commissioned essays are rigorous and challenging, at once a celebration and a questioning of a powerful talent, the genius Leonard Cohen called “the Picasso of song.” Neil Corcoran is Professor of English at the University of St. Andrews, and author of works on Seamus Heaney and modern English and Irish literature.

104 Turn up the Strobe The KLF, The JAMS, The Timelords: A History Ian Shirley “It’s not just that there had never been a band like the KLF. It’s that, in the 25 years since their disappearance, nobody else has come up with anything that matches the duo’s extraordinary career.” —Guardian on The KLF The first in-depth history of The KLF, packed with new and exclusive interviews, illuminating research and insightful commentary During a 10-year period bridging the 1980s and 1990s, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty created pop masterpieces at a prodigious pace, leaving behind a body of work unlike anything created before or since. From international hit singles and legal wrangles with ABBA to mysterious rituals conducted on far-flung corners of the British Isles and abandoned road movies, the duo questioned, accused and entertained in equal measure.Turn Up the Strobe tells the story of two of the 20th century’s most vital artists, and those who understood them. A story of success, fear, ego, power, graffiti, house music, independence, control, disaster, the Roland TR-808, love, sheep, marketing, God, death, 12” vinyl records, escape, freedom, populism, a Ford Galaxie and the money and fame all of these things attract. Ian Shirley re- spectfully charts the journey from youthful adventures in pop music and elsewhere towards the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu, The Timelords and the chart-topping monster The KLF became. Drummond and Cauty have recently announced a resumption in activity planned for August 2017, and continue to be actively involved in engaging work today. The duo’s fanbase remains as strong as their mystique. Ian Shirley is the editor of Record Collector’s Rare Record Price Guide and also runs the magazine’s vinyl reissue label. His previous books include Dark Entries: Bauhaus and Be- yond and Never Known Questions: Five Decades of The Residents.

Walls Come Tumbling Down Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone, Red Wedge Daniel Rachel “Rachel’s brilliant tome is as far from the snotty, gossipy stereotype of music journalism as it’s possible to get.” —The Guardian on Art of Noise “This is without doubt the finest book I’ve ever read about songwriters and the songs they write.” —Noel Gallagher on Art of Noise An oral history of “Rock Against Racism,” “2 Tone,” and “Red Wedge,” consisting of interviews with over 150 contributors Walls Come Tumbling Down charts the pivotal period between 1976 and 1992 that saw politics and pop music come together for the first time in Britain’s musical history; musicians and their fans suddenly became instigators of social change, and the political persuasion of musicians was as important as the songs they sang. Through the voices of campaigners, musicians, artists and politicians, Daniel Rachel follows the rise and fall of three key movements of the time: Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone, and Red Wedge, revealing how they all shaped, and were shaped by, the music of a generation. Composed of interviews with over 150 of the key players at the time, this book is a fascinating, polyphonic and authoritative account of those crucial 16 years in Britain’s history. Daniel Rachel was the lead-singer in Rachels Basement, which he formed in his early twen- ties.

Band on the Bus Around the World in a Double-Decker Richard King An extraordinary tale of how nine friends traveled the world in a double-decker bus When nine friends set out from England in 1969 to travel the world in a double-decker bus called “Hairy Pillock,” little did they know that they would become honorary citizens of Texas, hold the keys to New York, release a record in Australia, perform for the Shah and Empress of Iran, and appear on countless television and radio shows around the world. Their epic three-year journey took them through Europe to Iran and Afghanistan, through the Khyber Pass to Pakistan and India, then to Australia and, finally, the U.S. and Canada. They supplemented their meager funds by performing folk songs, after which they achieved minor stardom as The Philanderers throughout Australia and the U.S. This light-hearted account follows the group as they undertake an expedition that would be impossible today. Richard King is a retired broadcasting executive. He planned and organized a world trip in an old double-decker bus between 1969 and 1972, and made a 90-minute documentary film of the experience.

Boulting’s Velosaurus A Linguistic Tour de France Ned Boulting A must-have—yet completely fake—glossary of essential, though non-existent, cycling terms The language of cycling is vibrant, sophisticated, often impenetrable and extremely French. Find yourself confused, nodding along when a rouleur relates how le biscuit was effrité (crumbled)? How today they’re feeling Angers (past caring)? Fear no more, for Boulting’s Velosaurus will illuminate, enlighten and, frankly, mislead. Tour de France commentator and cycling writer Ned Boulting provides the ultimate lexicon of nonsense terminology, featuring essential vocabulary like Alpe (an Alp), panache (riding with doomed flamboyance, conscious of the need to renew one’s contract), moutarde (any race that ends, begins or pass- es through the city of Dijon) and maillot (a jumper, obviously), Boulting’s Velosaurus is the ideal companion to all things peloton for linguistically-challenged fans of non-automotive two-wheeled sport. Ned Boulting has presented seven Tours of Britain, the Vuelta España, the Tour of Califor- nia as well as the Tour Series and the inaugural Women’s Tour. He has contributed features and live reports on 12 Tours de France, and is the author of How I Won the Yellow Jumper and On the Road Bike.

How to Think Like Sigmund Freud Daniel Smith Learn the key motivations and philosophies that made Freud’s work still resonate today The work of Sigmund Freud, one of the most important thinkers of the past 200 years, redefined the fields of neurology and psychotherapy and the way we view the human mind. Most strands of the psychoanalytic discipline can even today be traced back to the leaps in understanding he made all those years ago. But his greatest success was to make the esoteric mainstream. The Oedipus complex, transference, the unconscious, repression, free association, the libido: these are all ideas and techniques from the Freud school of thought that have permeated the public consciousness. How to Think Like Sigmund Freud examines these and more in a quest to know one mind above all: that of a person who struggled with his own neuroses while attempting to understand those of others. Discover how the motivations and philosophies of a man who dared to tackle issues others feared to transformed what was a murky study into a real science. With this book you too can think like the man who came to comprehend the human condition better than any other. Daniel Smith is a writer, editor, and researcher of nonfiction. He is the author of How to Think Like Einstein, How to Think like Sherlock, and How to Think like Steve Jobs.

All over the world, people are angry and rejecting the establishment like never before. Britain votes Brexit. Trump promises walls in America. Corbyn promises a new socialism in the UK. Tsipras in Greece. Podemos in Spain. Marine Le Pen in France. Norbert Hofer in Austria. The list goes on. Why has the mainstream lost support? Why are the outsiders flourishing on far left and far right? Do they have the answers to our problems? In this landmark book, political journalist Steve Richards provides a captivating account of the defining political phenomenon of this decade.

Why Aren’t They Shouting? A Banker’s Tale of Change, Computers and Perpetual Crisis Kevin Rodgers A senior banker’s inside account of why banking has gone so badly wrong When Kevin Rodgers embarked on his career in finance, dealing rooms were seething with clamoring traders and gesticulating salesmen. Nearly three decades later, the feverish bustle has gone and the loudest noise you’re likely to hear is the gentle tapping of keyboards. Here is a very personal, often wryly amusing chronicle of this silent revolution that takes us from the days of phone calls, hand signals and alpha males to a world of microwave communications, complex derivatives and computer geeks. In addition, it’s a masterclass in how modern banking works, for those who don’t know their spot FX from their VaR or who struggle to recall precisely how Monte Carlo pricing operates. But it’s also an account of 30 years of seismic change that raises a deeply worrying question: Could it be that the technology that has transformed banking—and that continues to do so—is actually making it ever more unstable? Kevin Rodgers was a trader with Merrill Lynch before joining another U.S. bank, Bankers Trust. From there he went on to work as a managing director of Deutsche Bank for 15 years and latterly as global head of foreign exchange.

142 Atlas of Management Thinking Edward de Bono Learn to trust your instinct and have confidence in your decision making First published in 1981, this was the first book ever to be written explicitly for the right side of the reader’s brain. Much has been made of the research conducted into the left side of the brain—home to language and logic. The right side works in images, whole patterns and undefined feelings—none of which can be verbalized. This more elusive thinking often functions as what is loosely called “intuition.” Here, Edward de Bono shows us how to use the right side. It is an atlas because it is a visual reference of images and illustrations that point the reader in the right direction (literally). For anyone who has ever been told to trust their instinct, or who is concerned with decision-making, this book is a classic. Edward de Bono is the author of more than 60 books, including Lateral Thinking and Six Thinking Hats. He originated the concept of “lateral thinking.” His business methods are currently taught by more than 900 trainers in 28 countries around the world and are used by such leading corporations as IBM, Mo- torola, and Prudential.

148 The Vest Pocket Kodak & The First World War Jon Cooksey The first in a series of books documenting the relationship between conflicts and the iconic cameras that were used to freeze-frame forever those moments in time When one thinks about World War I, one doesn’t immediately imagine the soldiers recording the horrors of trench warfare by taking snaps with their pocket cameras. But that is exactly what happened. Launched in April 1912, the Vest Pocket Kodak was one of the world’s first compact cameras. About the height and width of today’s iPhone, it was small enough to fit into the pocket of a vest and became something of a craze on the eve of the war. It was advertised as the “Soldier’s Kodak” and troops were encouraged to “Make your own picture record of the War.” With the military banning journalists from reporting early setbacks in the war, newspaper editors offered soldiers a prize for their VPK photographs of £1,000—over ten times a lieutenant’s salary. The images they preserved offer a remarkably personal viewpoint, and create a fascinating link between the camera and the conflict. The first half of the book sets the technology and timeline of the camera against those of the war. It looks at how the Vest Pocket Kodak was developed and advertised, and tells the story of its significance in creating a unique visual account of the Great War. The second half presents a commemorative album of images taken with the camera, a remarkable record of a lost generation, and a tragic reflection of the manufacturer’s advertising by-line: “Kodak pictures never let you forget.” Jon Cooksey is a leading military historian, editor of Stand To! magazine and author of over 20 titles. His work has appeared in military magazines and he’s appeared on the BBC as a military historian. As an experienced battlefield guide, he leads tours for both world wars as well as the Falkland Islands. His books include Pebble Island: The Falklands War 1982 and Calais: A Fight to the Finish.

He shows how to transfer camera tools and technique from ground to air to achieve outstanding overhead, panoramic, and 360º shots; and how to master gimbal and other skills to bring depth and movement to video tracking shots. Applications from 3D mapping and modeling to landscape and travel photography are covered, demonstrating the range of markets and creative possibilities available to the professional drone photographer. This book is an essential guide to elevating the art of your photography to dizzying new heights. Fergus Kennedy is a marine biologist, photographer, and filmmaker, and an experienced multi-rotor pilot and camera operator.

158 The Language of Cities Deyan Sudjic “A deeply original and necessary book.” —Alain de Botton The director of the Design Museum defines the greatest artefact of all time: the city We live in a world that is now predominantly urban. So how do we define the city as it evolves in the 21st century? Drawing examples from across the globe, Deyan Sudjic decodes the underlying forces that shape our cities, such as resources and land, to the ideas that shape conscious elements of design, whether of buildings or of space. Erudite and entertaining, he considers the differences between capital cities and the rest to understand why it is that we often feel more comfortable in our identities as Londoners, Muscovites, or Mumbaikars than in our national identities. Deyan Sudjic is Director of the Design Museum, London. He has worked as a critic for the Observer and The Sunday Times, as the editor of Domus in Milan, as the director of the Venice Architecture Biennale, and as a curator in Glasgow, Istanbul and Copenhagen. He is the author of B is for Bauhaus, The Language of Things, and The Edifice Complex.

Michelangelo His Epic Life Martin Gayford “An absorbing book, beautifully told and with the writer fully in command of a huge body of research.” —Mail on Sunday An ambitious and beautifully written biography looking at the whole of Michelangelo Buonarroti’s long, eventful life There was an epic sweep to Michelangelo’s life. At 31 he was considered the finest artist in Italy, perhaps the world; long before he died at almost 90 he was widely believed to be the greatest sculptor or painter who had ever lived (and, by his enemies, to be an arrogant, uncouth, swindling miser). For decade after decade, he worked near the dynamic center of events: the vortex at which European history was changing from Renaissance to Counter Reformation. Few of his works—including the huge frescoes of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, the marble giant David and the Last Judgment—were small or easy to accomplish. Like a hero of classical mythology—such as Hercules, whose statue Michelangelo carved in his youth—he was subject to constant trials and labors. In Michelangelo, Martin Gayford describes what it felt like to be Michelangelo Buonarroti, and how he transformed forever our notion of what an artist could be. Martin Gayford is art critic for the Spectator. Among his publications are A Bigger Message, Man with a Blue Scarf, On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud, Constable in Love, and The Yellow House.

159 Martin Sharp His Life and Times Joyce Morgan The life of the charismatic, unconventional, unique and surprising Martin Sharp— known for his Cream cover albums and other iconic works of pop art Martin Sharp’s art was as singular as his style. He blurred the boundaries of high art and low with images of Dylan, Hendrix and naked flower children that defined an era. Along the way the irreverent Australian was charged with obscenity and collaborated with Eric Clapton as he drew rock stars and reprobates into his world. This richly told and beautifully written biography captures the loneliness of a privileged childhood, the heady days of the underground magazine Oz and the exuberant creativity of Swinging London and beyond. Sharp pursued his quixotic dream to realize van Gogh’s Yellow House in Australia. He obsessively championed eccentric singer Tiny Tim and was haunted by Sydney’s Luna Park. Charismatic and paradoxical, he became a recluse whose phone never stopped ringing. There was no one like Martin Sharp. When he died, he was described as a stranger in a strange land who left behind a trail of stardust. Joyce Morgan is a former arts editor of The Sydney Morning Herald, a journalist and author of Journeys on the Silk Road.

Ancestors in the Attic Including My Great-Grandmother’s Book of Ferns and My Aunt’s Book of Silent Actors Michael Holroyd An intricate set of biographies, told in words, threads, and photographs Michael Holroyd has in recent years turned his attention to the stories hidden within his own fascinating (not to say eccentric) family. In Ancestors in the Attic, he teases out two especially intriguing episodes, the tales of his great-grandmother and his aunt, which he categorizes respectively as tragedy and comedy. And, as well as telling their stories in words, he does it visually, through two very different collections made by the women, which he discovered, long after their deaths, in the attic of a house in Maidenhead: the ferns preserved and stitched into beautiful, intricate patterns by his tragic great-grandmother in the 1870s; and the photographs of silent movie actors collected by his lively young aunt in the 1920s. Sir Michael Holroyd is the author of biographies of Lytton Strachey, Bernard Shaw, and others. His awards include the the Golden PEN award, the Heywood Hill Literary Prize, the French Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger, and the Irish Life Arts Award.

160 An Affair with My Mother A Story of Adoption, Secrecy and Love Caitríona Palmer “Incredibly moving. . . . In its commitment to family love, to joy and truth, it is a gift.” —Anne Enright, author, The Gathering A moving, gripping account of love, denial, and a daughter’s quest for the truth Caitriona Palmer had a happy childhood, raised by loving adoptive parents. In her late twen- ties, she located her birth mother, Sarah, and they developed a strong attachment. But Sarah set one painful condition to this joyous new relationship: she wished to keep it secret, from everyone. Who was Sarah, and why did she want to preserve a decades-old secret? This is the story of Caitriona’s quest to answer these questions, and of the intense, furtive “affair” she and her mother conducted. It is a searing portrait of the social and familial forces that left Sarah—and many other unwed Irish mothers of her generation—frightened, traumatized, and bereft. It is also a beautiful account of a remarkable relationship. Caitríona Palmer writes for the Irish Independent. She lives in Washington, DC.

Leila’s Secret Kooshyar Karimi An intimate account of life inside one of the harshest regimes on earth Born in a slum, Kooshyar Karimi transformed himself into an award-winning writer as well as a successful doctor, whose conscience won’t let him turn away the unmarried women who beg him to save their lives by ending pregnancies that would see them stoned to death. One of those women is Leila. She yearns to go to university, but her family forbids it. Kooshyar has rescued countless women, but Leila seeks his help for a different reason, one that will haunt him for years afterwards. Leila’s Secret shows us everyday life for women in a country where it can be a crime to fall in love. For all its tragedy, this book is paradoxically uplifting, told from the heart of Kooshyar’s immense sympathy.

He is also the author of a memoir, I Confess: Revelations in Exile, and is an award-winning translator of Gore Vidal, Kahlil Gibran, and Adrian Berry, among others.

Mrs D is Going Within Lotta Dann She’s quit a dysfunctional drinking habit, bravely come out as an alcoholic in recovery, written a memoir (Mrs D Is Going Without), and launched a government-funded website to help others get sober. Life for Lotta Dann should be sweet, right? Wrong. Despite outward appearances, three years after getting sober Lotta is struggling. She’s often on edge, battles to cope with the busyness and constant upheavals of life, and is eating sugar like crazy to deal with tough emotions. It’s becoming clear what people mean when they say “putting down the drink is just the beginning.” The truth is, Lotta’s life-long drinking habit has left her as a fledgling emotionally. She’s slowly accepting that she needs to do some more work on herself. But what? Turn into a hippie and go all mindful and zen? Isn’t all that stuff boring, introspective, and weird? Can’t she just comfort herself with another chocolate muf- fin, distract herself on Instagram, and hope for the best? It would appear not. Here, Lotta outlines the practices she developed and strategies she worked on to start establishing herself as an emotionally robust woman. Lotta Dann built a successful career as a TV reporter, producer, and director, while simultaneously developing a remarkable aptitude for drinking a lot of alcohol.

The Way into Faerie Rae Beth Drawing upon traditional faerie lore to demonstrate how fey perceptions and psychic skills can serve and enhance life The spirituality of a fey person may be quite anarchic and entirely private, having no basis in any organized religion. So it can be a secret spirituality that informs the fey type and this may be largely experiential. It has often been perceived as a threat by people who like ideas to be tied down and under control, and by the organizations that such people have created. Meanwhile, in much of today’s world, fey people have been throughly marginalized. In this book, Rae Beth suggests ways in which we might understand Otherworldly realities without abandoning common sense. Drawing upon her knowledge of traditional faerie lore, she shows how fey perceptions and psychic skills can serve and enhance life. Rae Beth is a hedge witch and wildwood mystic. Her works include The Hedge Witch, Spell- craft for Hedge Witches, and Wiccan Way.

164 Di Stéfano Ian Hawkey “People argue between Pele or Maradona. Di Stéfano is the best, much more complete.” —Pelé Pele, Best, and Maradona everyone has heard of, but to the true soccer fans Alfredo Di Ste- fano, the magician behind Real Madrid’s five European Cups in a row, is the greatest. For 20 years, Di Stéfano was the guiding force behind three teams in three countries: at River Plate in his native Argentina; at Millonarios of Bogotá in Colombia; and then in 1953, Real Madrid. There he became soccer’s first global icon, nicknamed the striking “Blond Arrow” for his powerful stamina, tactical versatility, and precision goal scoring. He led Madrid as a team whose playing style others learned from, whose stylishness was envied, and whose widespread appreciation elsewhere help portray Franco’s isolated and right-wing Spain in a more flattering light. When he retired, Di Stefano had changed Spain as a nation, culturally and politically. This is his story, including candid and exclusive interviews highlighting his journey from humble beginnings to emerging as one of the first global sport superstars. Ian Hawkey writes for the Sunday Times. His first book, Feet of the Chameleon, won the National Sports Council’s Football Book of the Year award and was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

Harry Kane The Biography Frank Worrall The first biography of Kane, who became the hero Tottenham and England greatly needed Harry Kane is a Spurs boy through and through—”one of our own,” as the fans’ ditty goes— and a legend in the making. After graduating through the youth ranks, Kane had his first Pre- mier League start in 2014, leading to his winning the Golden Boot after scoring 25 goals in the 2015/16 season. The boy who started out in the same junior club as David Beckham, who was rejected by Arsenal because he wasn’t big or quick enough, who made Arsène Wenger regret his decision after Kane proved the Gunners wrong, became Tottenham’s most promising striker. Now, the first ever biography of the striker delves into why Harry Kane became his club’s, and his nation’s, great hope, and how he got to that position. He delves into what makes Harry tick, his hopes and dreams, and just why Manchester United was willing to pay up to £60 million for his skills. Frank Worrall is the author of Rory McIlroy, Giggsy, Luis Suarez, and many other sports biographies.

George Best Jim White A pocket-sized look at Manchester United’s idol player On Sunday, October 5, 2014, the 75,000-strong crowd at Old Trafford for Manchester United’s game against Everton joined in with an extended version of a chant which echoed around the stadium. “We all live in a Georgie Best world,” it went. Eleven years after his death, 40 years after he walked out of the club for the last time as a player, Best remains an idol. Which is extraordinary given that his star shone for such a brief time. He was at the top of the game for no more than half a dozen years. What this book will attempt to do, through reminiscence and analysis, is to try to pinpoint how Best did it. How did the shy, introverted Belfast boy become the most instantly recognized man in the game? What was it about the way he played, the way he moved, the way he looked that marked him out? And what was it that propelled him to such total self-destruction? Jim White is the author of Manchester United: The Biography and You’ll Win Nothing With Kids.

166 Carlo Ancelotti: Quiet Leadership Winning Hearts, Minds and Matches Carlo Ancelotti The legendary coach finally tells his story and reveals his management secrets Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time, with five Champions League titles to his name. Yet his approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favored by many of his rivals. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of players like David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Cristiano Ronaldo. In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full, riveting story of his managerial career—his methods, mentors, mistakes, and triumphs—and takes us inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges, and de- cisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership. Carlo Ancelotti has won the Champions League a record five times—twice as a player and three times as a manager. He has coached clubs including Parma, Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Chelsea (winning the “Double” in 2010). He has won titles in every country in which he has managed and is entering his first season as manager for Bayern Munich.

If Only An Alternative History of the Beautiful Game Simon Turner A fiercely original, counterfactual history of soccer, celebrating what could have been It is often tempting to believe in the grand sweep of history; to conclude that the triumphs of great teams were simply inevitable. The truth, however, is that history can turn on what appear, at frst glance, to be infnitesimally small events. Behind all those triumphs lie the countless disappointments of teams that were denied glory by a cruel bounce, the width of a crossbar or a dubious refereeing decision. Challenging the perception that the outcome of great clashes couldn’t have been any dfferent, If Only reflects on what soccer history could have been, what it might have been and, in some cases, what it probably should have been.

Little Book of Chelsea Over 170 True-Blue Quotes! Edited by Clive Batty A compilation of trivia, history, quotes, and facts about Chelsea that will surprise even the team’s biggest fans There are few soccer clubs in the world that attract as much interest in the modern game as Chelsea. Whether it is the latest observations from former coach Jose Mourinho, his successor Antonio Conte, big-money transfer targets, the style of play or results in Europe, everybody thinks they know what’s happening—or at least has an opinion on it. The arrival of Russian billionaire tycoon Roman Abramovich as owner turned a glamorous club with a long history of under-achievement into an international powerhouse. After one championship in 99 years, the Blues have, in a dozen years, won four Premier League titles, plus the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, four FA Cups and three Football League Cups. The club always was a magnet for well-known names—vaudeville legend George Robey played for the Pensioners in the club’s earliest days—and, in the modern era, Stamford Bridge has become home to a dazzling array of world stars. From Ron “Chopper” Harris and Ken Bates through Ruud Gullit, Roberto Di Matteo and Glenn Hoddle to Mourinho, Costa, John Terry, Diego Costa, David Luiz, and Thibaut Courtois, there is no lack of characters to draw on for quotes. Clive Batty’s previous books include A Serious Case of the Blues, The Pocket Book of`Chelsea, The Chelsea Miscellany, and The Little Book of Jose Mourinho.

Liverpool FC has a proud tradition and a very loyal support, and this book captures the flavor of both.

The Little Book of Spurs Over 170 Lilywhite Quotes! Edited by Louis Massarella “A season in which the Spurs finished second in the League would be counted as a triumph, unless Arsenal finished first, in which case it would instantly become a disaster.” —Terry Venables After the dog days of the last three decades, it seems as if the sleeping giant of White Hart Lane is stirring once more.

170 Max Baer Clown Prince of Boxing John Jarrett The definitive biography of an all-time boxing great and heavyweight champion, who also made an impact on Broadway and Hollywood They called Max Baer the “Clown Prince of Boxing,” but trainer Ray Arcel remembered a night in 1933 when he worked Baer’s corner in what was probably Max’s greatest triumph, the night he smashed Max Schmeling to defeat in 10 brutal rounds. That was no clown. A year later, Baer was heavyweight champion of the world. From a $4 a day foundry worker, Baer’s rise was rapid. He bought so many suits he couldn’t keep track of them; wore a new hat every week; bought a house like a hotel. Arcel cried like a baby when he read in the New York Times that Max had died from a heart attack in November 1959, at just 50 years old. This is the fascinating story of an iconic boxing figure who achieved so much in a life too short. John Jarrett’s first article was published in Boxing News in 1951. His books include Champ in the Corner and Dempsey and the Wild Bull.

Fred Perry British Tennis Legend Kevin Jefferys A well-researched biography of the well-known, yet understudied, tennis star Fred Perry, three-time Wimbledon champion in the 1930s, was one of Britain’s greatest athletes of the 20th century. His success on the hallowed Wimbledon turf went unmatched by a British man for 77 years, until Andy Murray’s triumph in 2013. Perry was the first player to hold all four Grand Slam titles, and he played a pivotal role in Great Britain’s domination of the Davis Cup in the 1930s. Despite his status as a global sports celebrity, Perry was criticized for his ruthless desire to win and was frequently at odds with amateur tennis authorities. In this biography, historian Kevin Jefferys examines Britain’s most successful tennis star. He shows how good fortune and tremendous talent aided Perry’s meteoric rise to the top; traces his frosty relationship with the British tennis establishment, which continued after he turned professional in 1936; and considers Perry’s place among the true legends of the sport. Kevin Jefferys is the author of Sport and Politics in Modern Britain, winner of the 2013 Lord Aberdare book prize.

171 Man vs Ocean One Man’s Journey to Swim the Seven Seas Adam Walker The man who decided to swim non-stop across seven of the world’s deadliest oceans wearing only swim trunks, cap and goggles In 2007, Adam, then a toaster salesman, watched a film about a man attempting to change his life by swimming the English Channel, and was inspired to try to emulate the feat. After a year of rigorous training without a coach, he achieved his goal in 11 hours 35 minutes, despite a ruptured bicep tendon leading to medical advice to give up long-distance swimming. In 2011, after two operations, he became the first Briton to achieve a two-way crossing from Spain to Morocco and back. In the process, he broke the British record one way. Shortly afterwards, the Ocean’s Seven challenge was born, a grueling equivalent to the Seven Summits mountaineering challenge. At first it seemed that injury would prevent Adam from participating but, ignoring medical advice, he developed an innovative technique—the Ocean Walker stroke—that would enable him to continue with the ultimate aim of completing this seemingly impossible feat. Always intriguing, sometimes terrifying, and occasionally very funny, Adam’s story is about sport in its truest form: rather than competitions between teams and individuals, it is about man against nature—and against his own failings and demons. In that, it is truly inspirational. Adam Walker is an endurance and long-distance swimmer.

A Race Too Far Chris Eakin “Wonderful and utterly compelling.” —Colin Firth The true story of the tragic round-the-world yacht race—now the subject of feature film The Mercy, starring Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz In 1968, the Sunday Times organized the Golden Globe race—an incredible test of endurance never before attempted—a round the world yacht race that must be completed single-handed and non-stop. This remarkable challenge inspired those daring to enter, with or without sailing experience. A Race Too Far is the story of how the race unfolded, and how it became a tragedy for many involved. Of the nine sailors who started the race, four realized the madness of the undertaking and pulled out within weeks. The remaining five each have their own remarkable story. Chay Blyth, fresh from rowing the Atlantic with John Ridgway, had no sailing experience but managed to sail round the Cape of Good Hope before retir- ing. Nigel Tetley sank while in the lead with 1,100 nautical miles to go, surviving but dying in tragic circumstances two years later. Donald Crowhurst began showing signs of mental illness and tried to fake a round the world voyage. His boat was discovered adrift in an apparent suicide, but his body was never found. Bernard Moitessier abandoned the race and carried on to Tahiti, where he settled and fathered a child despite having a wife and family in Paris. Robin Knox-Johnston was the only one to complete the race. Chris Eakin recreates the drama of the epic race, talking to all those touched by the Golden Globe: the survivors, the widows and the children of those who died. It is a book that both evokes the primary wonder of the adventure itself and reflects on what it has come to mean in the 40 years since. Chris Eakin is a qualified Yachtmaster who sails regularly in the English Channel. He has been a journalist on newspapers and with the BBC for more than 35 years.

The Bicycle 200 Years on Two Wheels Celebrating 200 years, from early models into the modern age Baron Karl Drais introduced the first two-wheeled self-propelled vehicle in the summer of 1817, calling it the “dandy horse.” Two hundred years later, that same concept has democ- ratized travel like no other means of transportation, granting women new-found freedoms and offering ordinary people an affordable means of travel all over the world. The mechan- ically powered velocipede took off in the 1860s, followed by the iconic penny-farthing, but the golden age of cycling arrived with the late 19th century, as people relished the freedoms afforded by self-powered travel, and cycle touring became a popular pastime. Today cycling is a global phenomenon both in professional sporting and non-professional spheres. This book traces the bicycle’s revolutionary 200-year story, from its important role in wartime to the high-tech age of the velodrome.

Long Way Back Charley Boorman The bestselling author of Long Way Round details his recovery from a major accident On February 16, 2016, Charley Boorman suffered a major traffic accident in Portugal. His world crashed down after he smashed his right ankle and causing severe damage to his left fibia and tibia. It was unclear if he would ever walk properly again, let alone ride a motorbike. Charley recounts the ambulance ride, the numerous operations in a Portugese hospital, the medivac flight back to London, and his journey of recovery. As his inability to walk for several months provokes introspection, Boorman recounts his childhood, where his passion for motorbikes began, and the formative influences in his life—from his father, a famed director, to his longtime friend Ewan McGregor, and Sean Connery’s son Jason, who introduced him to bikes. These touchstones give him strength on the long way back to health. Charley Boorman has toured the world on his motorbike, sometimes accompanied by close friend Ewan McGregor, with whom he produced the TV series and accompanying books Long Way Round and Long Way Down.

176 LONDON Bloomsbury Beyond the Establishment Matthew Ingleby A new history of the London neighborhood whose name is nextricably tied to its prestigious cultural history Bloomsbury lies at the heart of cultural and intellectual London, famed for its museums, universities and literary heritage. Matthew Ingleby’s new history ranges across the neighborhood to explore hidden corners and reveal unexpected connections between Blooms- bury’s past and present, its buildings and its people, its austere towers and its garden squares. Ingleby examines the facets of Bloomsbury that have shaped its identity—its long association with youth and beginnings; its proud secularism and scepticism; and its role as London’s center of thinking, writing and publishing. He draws on the voices of Blooms- bury’s most observant residents, such as Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf, to explain the character of the place in a fresh and engaging new way. Matthew Ingleby is Lecturer in Victorian Literature at Queen Mary University of London.

Camden Town Dreams of Another London Tom Bolton The story of a neighborhood that perfectly embodies the unpredictable cultural mix for which London is famed This book takes five landmarks as the starting point for a series of journeys into the layers of history and culture of Camden Town. The World’s End pub existed in various forms since before Camden began. Today’s crowds flock to the locks and market at Regent’s Canal Bridge, while Arlington House, a block away, belongs to a parallel Camden of immigration and new beginnings, poverty and homelessness. No. 8 Royal College Street represents how the first buildings of 19th-century Camden Town attracted social outsiders to the area. Finally the Roundhouse, an engineering curiosity, became the center of Cam- den’s cultural scene. Tom Bolton is the author of Vanished City and London’s Lost Rivers: A Walkers Guide.

Soho The Heart of Bohemian London Peter Speiser Complete with illustrations evoking the life and times of Soho, this book explores the streets, the businesses and the people who brought the area to worldwide fame From humble beginnings, Soho developed into a fashionable center for London’s nobility in the 18th century. Yet this same area was to become a poverty-stricken and decaying Victorian hub of cheap lodging houses. This was the Soho of the devastating cholera out- break of 1854. However, a new focus on business and manufacturing transformed Soho in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Alongside this, bars and restaurants flourished, encouraging artists and artisans to the area. In the 1960s, Carnaby Street briefly became the fashion and retail center of the world. The nightclubs of Soho played host to the Teddies, Mods, Rockers, Punks and New Romantics of post-war British youth culture. Peter Speiser is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Westminster.

178 My Good Life in France Janine Marsh The adventures of a Londoner who, on a whim, moved to a dilapidated home in rural France One grey dismal day, Janine Marsh was on a trip to northern France to pick up some cheap wine. She returned to England a few hours later having put in an offer on a rundown old barn in the rural Seven Valleys area of Pas de Calais. This was not something she’d expected or planned for. Janine eventually gave up her job in London to move with her husband to live the good life in France. Or so she hoped. While getting to grips with the locals and la vie Française, and renovating her dilapidated new house, a building lacking the comforts of mains drainage, heating, or proper rooms, and with little money and less of a clue, she started to realize there was lot more to her new home than she could ever have imagined. These are the true tales of Janine’s rollercoaster ride through a different culture—one that, to a Brit from the city, was in turns surprising, charming, and not the least bit baffling. Janine Marsh is a travel writer with a particular focus on France. Memoir • 256 Pages • 5.5 x 7.75 • 9781782437321 • February • $14.95 (Can $19.95) Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • Michael O’Mara

Aftershock One Man’s Quest and the Quake on Everest Jules Mountain The incredible tale of climbing Mt. Everest in the midst of the 2015 Nepal earthquake Jules Mountain is a survivor. The odds of surviving his type of cancer were one in five. The odds of dying on Everest are one in 60, but these are severely shortened when factoring in an avalanche triggered by the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Jules lived to tell both tales, which he does in a way that conveys the agony and euphoria that extreme adventurers face, even when things go according to plan. And yet this is not merely an account of what happened in the aftermath of the most deadly disaster ever on the world’s most iconic mountain. It is an exploration—internal as well as physical—of how logic, compassion and risk assessment are affected by altitude, vested interests and the stress of extreme circumstances. Having beaten the odds to survive an aggressive tumor, Jules Mountain decided to sell his businesses and concentrate on fulfilling a life-long ambition to climb Everest. He cheated death again when he was in the group of climbers who survived the avalanche triggered by the earthquake.

Around Britain By Cake A Tour of Our Traditional Teatime Treats Caroline Taggart A trip around Britain investigating the stories behind traditional teatime treats, from Cornish cream teas to Dundee cake If there’s one thing Brits never say no to, it’s stopping at four o’clock for a cup of tea and a slice of something tasty. After all, they invented afternoon tea. So what better way to capture a slice of Britain than to devour its many tea-time treats, slice by sumptuous slice? That’s what Caroline Taggart set out to do one day—nothing more energetic than taking a table by the window, and investigating one mouthful at a time what (other than geography) separates a Coventry God Cake from an Eccles Cake, or Grantham Gingerbread from Whitby Ginger- bread. In her encounters with those people making traditional cakes, she unravels the stories behind why they originated, where and when they did, and meditates on their resurgence today. Includes 60 recipes, with metric measures. Caroline Taggart is the author of I Used to Know That, An Apple a Day, and The Classics.

182 SNOWBALL ORANGES

Snowball Oranges One Mallorcan Winter Peter Kerr “This charming, cheerful book will appeal to anyone looking for a different take on Spain and Majorca.” —Library Journal How a Scotsman and his family lived the dream, making their vacation home permanent—and how the local neighbors helped them endure that “dream” When the Kerr family leave Scotland to grow oranges in a secluded valley on the island of Mallorca, they are surprised to be greeted by the same freezing weather they have left behind. Then they realize that their new orange farm is a bit of a lemon. . . . Laugh- ter, finds Peter Kerr, is the best medicine when faced with a local dish of rats and the live-chicken-down-a-chimney technique of household maintenance. But their Mallor- can neighbors help them adapt to their new life. Snowball Oranges is hilarious and revealing, full of life and color, set against the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean. Peter Kerr is a Scottish author. His award-winning Snowball Oranges series of five Mallorcan-based books have sold in large numbers worldwide and have been translated into 12 languages.

One Mallorcan Summer Peter Kerr “People are already making comparisons between A Year in Provence and Maña- na Mañana. But at the risk of committing travel writing heresy, some readers may like Mañana Mañana better. It’s often funnier, grittier and more textured than Mayle’s best-selling book.” —Bookpage A reissue of Peter Kerr’s second Mallorca-based travel memoir, previously titled Mañana Mañana Having succumbed to the mañana pace of rural Mallorca, spring sees Peter Kerr and family relaxing into a supposedly simpler way of life, growing oranges on their little valley farm. However, even after the trials, tribulations and triumphs of their initiation, Spain has not yet finished with them. Embarrassing subtleties of the language, brushes with local police, the unfortunate outcome of a drinking session . . . surprises aplenty test the resolve, stamina and sense of humor of the Kerr family. This engaging account of tranquilo life celebrates all the charm of Mallorca: where you seldom do today what can be more judiciously put off till mañana! Previously titled Mañana Mañana. Peter Kerr’s award-winning Snowball Oranges series of five Mallorcan-based books have sold over 300,000 copies worldwide and have been translated into 12 languages. They recount the often hilarious adventures experienced by Peter and his family while running a small orange farm on the Spanish island during the 1980s.

An Economy Apart Tracing the Origin of Hong Kong’s Economic Crunch Simon Cartledge An authoritative yet accessible look at the origin of Hong Kong’s economic crunch In 1997, Hong Kong’s economy was one-fifth the size of China’s. Twenty years later, it is just around one-fiftieth. Regardless of China’s incredible growth, Hong Kong’s once prosperous economy is, in fact, declining. Against all odds, it is simply not ben- efiting from its big neighbor. This book argues that the city’s innovative capacity is hindered by its problematic political structures, and traces the economic, political and social status quo back through to the turbulent years since the Handover, arguing that Hong Kong’s only way out of this vicious circle of steady economic recession is a drastic remodeling of its political structure. Simon Cartledge is the founder of the Hong Kong-based research, writing and publishing company Big Brains Ltd. He was Editor-in-Chief of The Economist Intelli- gence Unit Asia. His work has been published in the Financial Times, International Herald Tribune, Business Week and the China Economic Quarterly. He has lived in Hong Kong for more than 20 years.

City of Protest A Recent History of Dissent in Hong Kong Antony Dapiran A recent history of public dissent in Hong Kong, drawing on archival research, years of legal expertise, and the author’s personal account of the Umbrella protests Hong Kong is a city with a long history of civil disobedience. Antony Dapiran explores the historical and social stimuli and implications of public dissident movements from the turbulent 1960s until the most recent wave of protests, which became apparent in the 2014 Occupy Central movement. What emerges from these grassroots movements is a unique Hong Kong identity, one shaped neither by Britain nor China. City of Protest is a compelling look at the often-fraught relationship between politics and belonging, and a city’s struggle to assert itself. Antony Dapiran is a Hong Kong-based finance lawyer, writer and photographer.

Generation Hong Kong How Hong Kong Youth are Remaking the City Ben Bland How Hong Kong youth are remaking the city Twenty years have passed since sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred from Britain to China. In that time a whole generation has come of age: Generation HK. Its peers are neither bound by British colonial rule nor do they relate themselves to mainland China. They are true Hong Kongers, yet they see this status threatened by the expansion of Beijing’s influence. At the same time they are struggling with the pressure of familial and material expectations of society. Theirs is a generation with a distinctively independent spirit, a cocktail of angst, insecurity and pessimism, intermingled with hope, optimism and a will to stand up for a brighter future. Ben Bland is the South China correspondent for the Financial Times, and is currently stationed in Hong Kong.

Uncharted Territory Culture and Commerce in Hong Kong’s Art World Magnus Renfrew Culture and commerce in Hong Kong’s art world Hong Kong could become the first point of contact, the cultural hub, the one-stop-shop of creativity in Asia, argues Magnus Renfrew. In a city with two political systems, it is the binaries that stop this transformation from becoming the reality. Global and local, freedom and repression, power and helplessness, creativity and the mundane—these contradicting rules riddle Hong Kong’s commerce, culture, and art. By exploring the metropolis’ recent history, its works of art, and reflecting back on his own experiences, Renfrew discusses the identity crisis of Hong Kong art industry, as it tries to find its footing years after the Handover. Magnus Renfrew is deputy chairman and director of fine arts for the Bonhams auction house in Hong Kong. Previously, he served as the founding director of the Hong Kong International Art Fair and director of the first two editions of Art Basel Hong Kong. In 2013, he was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. Art Review listed him twice as one of the 100 most influential figures in the international art world.

Bad History How We Got the Past Wrong Emma Marriott Sorting the facts from historical fiction, this book exposes the falsehoods that have wrongly influenced the understanding of world history Sorting the facts from the historical fiction, Bad History exposes the falsehoods that have wrongly influenced our understanding of world history. Much of what we know about historical events is based on generally accepted “facts,” such as that St. Patrick was Irish; Ro- man gladiators would fight to the death; and the Wild West was full of danger. However, history is full of myths and misunderstandings that have been repeated so much over the years that we don’t give them a second thought. Each entry in this informative book will discuss the case for and against these commonly accepted truths, and corrects what you thought you knew about history. This rigorously researched and entertaining read is perfect for any history enthusiast who wants to get their facts straight.

192 Charting the Oceans Second edition Peter Whitfield Now revised and updated, an investigation of the history of humankind’s relation to the sea, as revealed in 10 centuries of maritime maps Mastery of the sea has been crucial in world history: the transition from the medieval to the modern world was marked by the emergence of ships from their European home waters out into the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Solving the problem of ocean navigation was an essential prelude to achieving international powers and the maritime nations left a unique visual record of their response to the challenge of the sea. In succession Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French and English mariners used their charts to express their claims to sovereignty of the seas and territories newly revealed by their naval explorers. This revised and updated book traces the history of charts not as technical documents but as eloquent witnesses to the discovery of the world beyond Europe, and to man’s evolving knowledge of the oceans. These charts employed a vivid artistic idiom which expressed man’s passionate feeling for the sea: the gilded compasses, the nightmarish sea-creatures, the stately ships, the royal crests—all these were fused into a unique art-form, which flourished for four centuries. Featuring new photography of the British Library’s most important maritime maps, Charting the Oceans is the definitive guide to this majestic tradition. Peter Whitfield is a leading expert in map history and exploration. His previous books include London: A Life in Maps and Cities of the World: A History in Maps.

The Worst Jobs in History Sir Tony Robinson A no-holds-barred look at the most unenviable jobs of the last 2,000 years in British history Whether it’s swilling out the crotch of a knight’s soiled armor after the battle of Agincourt, risking his neck in the rigging of HMS Victory, or as “Groom of the Stool” going to places where none of Henry VIII’s six wives would venture, Tony endures the worst jobs imaginable to get to the bottom (sometimes literally) of the story. From the Roman invasion to the reign of Queen Victoria, Tony has met the challenge of seeking out the worst jobs of each era. The Gunpowder Plot drew Tony to the role of the Saltpetre Man who collected human waste because its nitrate content could be turned into gunpowder. In the same vein, he has revealed some of the worst jobs behind the building of the great medieval cathedrals. With Tony we discover the dire conditions of Nelson’s Victory, where the most common form of retirement was being sewn into a hammock with a couple of cannon balls and dropped over the side. Then there’s the impact of the Industrial Revolution, a source of wealth and power for the few, but a cornucopia of lousy jobs for the many. Packed with disgusting yet fascinating professions, this book really gets into the grime of how life was for ordinary people, and provides a vivid alternative (and fairly disgusting) history of Britain. Sir Tony Robinson is most famous for playing the role of Baldrick in Blackadder. He has authored many children’s books including the history series Tony Robinson’s Weird World of Wonders.

194 Who Do the English Think They Are? A History of England in 20 Places Derek J. Taylor The first book to chart the history of English national identity for a popular audience What makes the English so . . . English? Where does English national identity come from? Historian and journalist Derek Taylor goes in search of answers on a journey through space and time. He visits battlefields, churches, remote islands, a slum, and many more places which, over 1600 years, have shaped the English sense of themselves. Along the way, he finds the Vikings were more family men than sex-mad thugs. He tells how the DNA of the English is mainly German and French. He explains too how the English nearly ended up speaking French. And how the origins of parliamentary democracy, the steam engine, and the internet helped form the identity of the English people. Bringing together a journalist’s eye and a historian’s incisive mind, the result is vivid, informative, and often surprising. Derek J. Taylor studied law and history at Oxford, before joining ITN as an on-screen reporter. In his later career, he worked for the BBC, then the Associated Press of America as Chief Executive of their TV division. He is the author of Magna Carta in 20 Places.

195 PENGUIN MONARCHS

Richard II A Brittle Glory Laura Ashe A look into the brittle glory of the British king whose reign had many failures amidst a huge cultural legacy Richard II (1377-99) came to the throne as a child, following the long, domineering reign of his grandfather Edward III. He suffered from the disastrous combination of an exalted sense of his own power and an inability to impress that power on others. Neither trusted nor feared, Richard battled with failures and emergencies before succumbing to a coup, imprisonment, and murder. Laura Ashe’s account of his reign emphasizes the strange gap between Richard’s personal incapacity and the amazing cultural legacy of his reign—from the Wilton Diptych to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Canterbury Tales. Laura Ashe is Associate Professor of English and a Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford. Her first book was Fiction and History in England, 1066-1200 and she has edited Early Fiction in England: From Geoffrey of Monmouth to Chaucer.

Both reflected the personalties of their central figures: hers grand, imperial, and stiff; his no less grand, but more relaxed and enjoyable. To the despair of his parents, he rebelled as a young man, conducting many affairs and living a life of pleasure. But as king he made a distinct contribution to Europe- an diplomacy and—which is little known—to London, laying out the Mall and Admiralty Arch. This overview is as enjoyable as its subject and the age he made. Richard Davenport-Hines is the author of biographies of Dudley Docker, W. H. Auden, Marcel Proust, Lady Desborough, and Maynard Keynes. He has also written histories, as well as editing three volumes of Hugh Trevor-Roper’s correspondence and journals.

Charles II The Star King Clare Jackson A focused look at one of Britain’s most easily recognized kings Charles II has always been one of the most instantly recognizable British kings—both in his physical appearance, disseminated through endless portraits, prints, and pub signs, and in his complicated mix of lasciviousness, cynicism, and luxury. His father’s execution and his own many years of exile made him a guarded, curious, unusually self-conscious ruler. He lived through some of the most striking events in the UK’s national history—from the Civil Wars to the Great Plague, from the Fire of London to the wars with the Dutch. Clare Jackson’s marvelous book takes full advantage of its irrepressible subject. Clare Jackson is the Senior Tutor of Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. She has presented a number of highly successful programs on the Stuart dynasty for the BBC and is currently writing a new history of Stuart Britain during the long 17th century.

From the dawn of rail travel, when speeds of 15mph were considered dangerous to health and people mistook engines for fire-breathing demons, through the Victorian heyday of royal trains and seaside specials to today’s more prosaic leaves on the line, this whistlestop tour through railways’ long and storied history is the perfect gift for armchair travelers, history fans and trainspotters. Tom Quinn has written five titles in the Strangest series.

Hadrian’s Wall Archaeology and History at the Limit of Rome’s Empire Nick Hodgson An introduction to the most impressive and famous physical reminder of Britain’s Roman past Built around AD 122, Hadrian’s Wall was guarded by the Roman army for over three centuries and has left an indelible mark on the landscape of northern Britain. It was a wonder of the ancient world and is a World Heritage Site. Written by a leading archaeologist who has excavated widely on the Wall, this is an authoritative yet accessible treatment of the ar- chaeological evidence. The book explains why the expansion of the Roman empire ground to a halt in remote northern Britain, how the Wall came to be built and the purpose it was intended to serve. It is not a guidebook to the remains, but an introduction to the Wall and the soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, who once peopled the abandoned ruins visited by tourists today. Nick Hodgson has worked for 29 years as an archaeologist for Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums. He has excavated widely on Hadrian’s Wall and since 1989 has co-directed long-running programs of excavation at the forts of South Shields and Wallsend on Tyneside.

St George Knight, Martyr, Patron Saint and Dragonslayer Second edition Giles Morgan A figure who occupies a position between history and legend At the heart of the myths and legends surrounding St. George lies the story of an early Chris- tian martyr persecuted by the Roman Empire around the third century AD. But England is only one country to have adopted this soldier saint as their patron. Others, including Germa- ny, Hungary, and Portugal, claim him as their own,and there are churches dedicated to him in Ethiopia, Egypt, and Greece. His victory against the dragon can be interpreted as repre- senting the bravery of an individual Christian or the eternal battle been good and evil. There are also clear parallels between his battle and those of pre-Christian heroes such as Perseus and Beowulf, he is identified with the Islamic hero Al Khidr, and he has been closely linked to the Green Man of Pre-Christian Myth. Giles Morgan is the author of the Pocket Essentials Holy Grail, Byzantium, Freemasonry, and Saints.

The Normans wreaked havoc across the country and changed the history of England forever. 1066 marked the end of the Anglo-Saxon era of home-grown rulers since the time of Alfred the Great. He was an astute political operator who, as Earl of Wessex, won the affection of the English people and the support of Edward the Confessor to succeed him. Peter Rex tells the story of a formidable warrior-king killed in battle in defense of his kingdom. The Battle of Hastings could have gone either way, and had the fatal arrow missed Harold’s eye, England would be a quite different place today. Peter Rex was Head of History at Prince Thorpe College for 20 years. He was an acknowledged expert on 11th-century English and Norman history, and his books included 1066: A New History of the Norman Conquest. He died in March 2012.

Henry III England’s Survivor King in the Age of Magna Carta Darren Baker Henry III was a determined and dynamic ruler with vision, not the weak and inept king of conventional portrayal Henry III (1207-1272) reigned for 56 years, the longest-serving English monarch until the modern era. Admired for his building projects like Westminster Abbey, he is dismissed by scholars as weak and inept. This biography shows that he was in fact a more than capable ruler. Crowned as a boy, scarred by civil war, he strove to be a good king, but his increasingly insular barons and clergy constantly thwarted his plans to make England a cosmopolitan center. Their resentfulness led to a palace revolution that checked his power. He would have clawed it all back were it not for one man, Simon de Montfort. Yet somehow Henry survived, as he always had, through the remarkable 13th century. Darren Baker is the author of With All for All: The Life of Simon de Montfort.

Long Live the King The Mysterious Fate of Edward II Kathryn Warner The first book to explore the contentious death and burial of Edward II History tells us that Edward II died at Berkeley Castle in 1327 in agony, with a red-hot poker inserted inside him. This is one of the most famous and lurid tales in all of English history. But is it true? Much evidence suggests that Edward did not die at Berkeley Castle at all, but was still alive years after his supposed death. Medieval historian Kathryn Warner explores in detail Edward’s downfall and forced abdication in 1326-1327, the role played in it by his wife Isabella of France, the wide variation in chronicle accounts of his murder at Berkeley Castle, and the fascinating possibility that Edward was alive in Italy many years after his official funeral was held in Gloucester in 1327. Kathryn Warner is a recognized expert on the reign of Edward II (1307-27). She works part- time as an English teacher and carries out historical research on the 14th century. She gives lectures about Edward, his life and reign and possible survival after 1327, in the UK and in Italy. She is the author of Edward II: The Unconventional King.

201 The Nevills of Middleham England’s Most Powerful Family in the War of the Roses K.L. Clark The first comprehensive history of the power behind the throne in the Wars of the Roses In 1465, the Nevills must have thought they’d reached the pinnacle of power and influence in England. Richard Nevill was the king’s right-hand man and married to the richest woman in the kingdom; John Nevill was an accomplished soldier who’d done much to stabilize the new dynasty; and George Nevill was not only chancellor but newly enthroned as Archbishop of York. The Nevill women were as active as their male counterparts. As sisters and wives, daughters and daughters-in-laws, they had the ears of the elite in England and were not afraid of wielding their influence. But it was not long before cracks in the most powerful family in England began to show. K.L. Clark’s research of the Nevill family and the Wars of the Roses spans more than a decade. She has presented two papers on the Wars of the Roses to the Richard III Society and writes the popular blog A Nevill Feast.

Owen Tudor Founding Father of the Tudor Dynasty Terry Breverton The story of the husband of Catherine of Valois and grandfather of Henry VII For generations, the ancestors of Welshmen Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence, his father pardoned, but his estates stripped from him. Owen’s now landless father took him to London to try and find employment, and Owen fought for Henry V in France. He entered the service of Henry’s queen, Catherine of Valois, and soon after the king’s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together, hidden from the world and the boy- king Henry VI by the Bishops of London and Ely. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherine’s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. Edmund died in Wales, and Jasper became the only lord who fought throughout the civil wars until his nephew, Edmund’s son Henry Tudor, was established on the English throne as Henry VII. When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimer’s Cross in 1461, the aging Owen led a wing of the defeated army, was captured and executed. With- out the secret marriage for love, there would have been no Tudor dynasty. Terry Breverton is the author of Breverton’s Phantasmagoria, The Pirate Dictionary, and Jasper Tudor: Dynasty Maker.

202 Richard, Duke of York King by Right Matthew Lewis The biography of the man known after his death as “King by Right” The son of a traitor, Richard, 3rd Duke of York, inherited a dukedom at age four, became the wealthiest man in England at 13, and later rebelled against his king. If he is remembered, it is as a man who ignited the Wars of the Roses. Further eclipsed by two of his sons, who would become the mighty warrior Edward IV and the recently rediscovered Richard III, he is an ancestor of the Tudor monarchs and 15th great-grandfather to Queen Elizabeth II, yet the man himself is obscured from view. This book reveals a complex family man with unparalleled power and responsibilities. The first person recorded using the Plantagenet name, he pushed the political establishment to its limits, dared to fight back, and was forced to do the unimaginable. Matthew Lewis is an author and historian. He is the author of Henry III, Medieval Britain in 100 Facts, and The War of the Roses.

The Family of Richard III Michael Hicks Richard III’s family was his making—as well as his undoing The Wars of the Roses were quarrels within the Plantagenet family, of which Richard’s dynasty, the House of York, was one branch. They were about family trees—the capacity of family relationships both to unite and to divide—and notoriously about the slaughter of cousins, in-laws, brothers, and nephews. The House of York won the first war, with Rich- ard’s elder brother becoming king as Edward IV. The 1460s began with an explosion of King Edward IV’s family and ended in a trial of strength between them. The 1470s are about a second explosion of the House of York, its division into separate nuclear families competing against each other, about the kings’ preferences, and in 1483 a sudden violent resolution following Edward IV’s death. Richard III claimed to be his brother’s heir. The Yorkist establishment refused and shared in Richard’s destruction. With the recent discovery of Richard III’s skeleton, this book reassesses the family ties and entrails of his wayward and violent family. The book concludes with an analysis of Richard’s DNA and his “family” as it exists today. Michael Hicks is Professor of History at King Alfred’s College, Winchester. He is regarded as the lead expert on the Yorkist dynasty. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

The Lost Kings Lancaster, York & Tudor Amy Licence Ten men who, had they lived, would have changed the course of history The century spanning the wars of the roses and the reigns of the Tudor kings was a volatile time of battle and bloodshed, execution and unexpected illness. Life could be nasty, brutish, and short. Some met their end in battle, others were dragged to the block, losing everything for daring to aspire to the throne. Some were lost in mysterious circumstances, like Edward V, the elder of the Princes in the Tower. But the majority of these young men died in their teens, on the brink of manhood. They represent the lost paths of history, the fascinating “what-ifs” of the houses of York and Tudor. They also diverted the route of dynastic inheritance, with all the complicated implications that brings, passing power into unlikely hands. This book examines 10 such figures, using their lives to build a narrative of this savage century. Amy Licence is a historian and the author of eight books, including Red Rose. She has written for the Guardian, TLS, Huffington Post, and BBC History. She also appeared in Philippa Gregory’s BBC2 documentary The Real Women of the Wars of the Roses.

The Private Life of Edward IV John Ashdown-Hill Edward’s private world is revealed, including whether he had mistresses From the moment it became public news, the validity of Edward’s marriage to Elizabeth Widville, the beautiful widow of a Lancastrian knight, was called into question. This alarmed Elizabeth and led her into political killings. She was terrified that she would lose her crown and that her children would never succeed to the throne. After Edward’s death, a bishop publicly announced that he had previously married the king to Lady Eleanor Talbot. As a result, Edward’s children by Elizabeth, including his heir to the throne, Edward, were declared illegitimate, making Edward’s brother Richard the heir to the throne. Later, claims were put forward that Edward had many illegitimate children. This book unravels the complex web of stories around Edward’s private life. John Ashdown-Hill was Leader of Genealogical Research and Historical Advisor for the Looking for Richard Project and is the author of The Dublin King, The Last Days of Richard III, and The Third Plantagenet.

204 Prince Arthur The Tudor King Who Never Was Sean Cunningham The untold story of Henry VIII’s elder brother, Arthur Tudor During the early 16th century, England would have been ruled by King Arthur Tudor, not Henry VIII, had the first-born son of Henry VII lived into adulthood. The history of England would have been very different; the massive religious, social, and political changes of Hen- ry VIII’s reign might not have been necessary. In naming his eldest son Arthur, Henry VII made an impressive statement about what the Tudors hoped to achieve as rulers. The name gave the young prince a great deal to live up to. Arthur’s education, exposure to power and responsibility, and marriage to Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon, all indicate that the young prince was being shaped into a paragon of kingship. This book explores Prince Ar- thur’s life and assesses what type of king he would have been. Sean Cunningham has worked for The National Archives for 15 years and is Principal Re- cords Specialist for Medieval, Early Modern, and Legal. His books include Henry VII and Richard III: A Royal EnigmaI. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Catherine of Aragon An Intimate Life of Henry VIII’s True Wife Amy Licence A stunning new biography of Henry VIII’s wife of more than 20 years Catherine of Aragon continues to fascinate readers 500 years after she became Henry VIII’s first queen. Having lost her first husband, Henry’s elder brother Prince Arthur, she endured years of ill health and penury, to make a dazzling second match in Henry VIII. There is no doubt that she was Henry’s true love, compatible with him in every respect and, for years, she presided over a majestic court as the personification of his ideal woman. When it became clear that she could no longer bear children, however, the king’s attention turned elsewhere, and his once chivalric devotion became resentment. Catherine’s final years were spent in lonely isolation, but she never gave up her vision: she was devoted to her faith, her husband, and to England, and was prepared to be martyred for them. The fidelity of this remarkable woman never wavered. Amy Licence is the author of The Six Wives & Many Mistresses of Henry VIII.

The Stuarts A Very British Dynasty Dr. Andrew Lacey Discover the history behind the Stuart Dynasty The Stuarts are best known to us today for their court scandals, Civil War, and religious turmoil. We all know about the Gunpowder Plot, Charles I’s quarrel with Parliament that led to his execution, and Charles II’s restoration and lively, hedonistic court. Yet we know little of the Stuart family history, the family that became the first dynasty to rule both Scotland and England. Andrew Lacey examines the Stuart kings and queens from their early days as rulers of Scotland, to their accession to the English throne, the Civil War and their fall from grace, Charles II’s restoration, and finally their exile. He examines the heads of the House of Stuart, bringing both the kings and queens we think we know well and the rulers that have mostly been forgotten to life in vivid detail. Dr. Andrew Lacey earned a degree in history, followed by a Masters in Library and Infor- mation Studies. He has been a history tutor at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Andrew has gained a PhD from the University of Leicester and lectures on a variety of Tudor and Stuart subjects.

The Prisoner King Charles I in Captivity John Matusiak The first book in half a century to focus exclusively on Charles I’s incarceration After more than half a century of comparative neglect, the crucial period encompassing Charles I’s captivity after his surrender to the Scots at Newark in 1646 is ripe for re-examina- tion—with new perspectives and insights based on up-to-date research. The months before his trial were a critical watershed when the entire nation stood at a fateful crossroads. For Charles himself, as subterfuge, espionage, and assassination rumors escalated on all fronts, escape attempts foundered, and tensions with his absent wife mounted, the test was supreme. Yet, in a painful passage involving both stubborn impenitence and uncommon fortitude in the face of “barbarous usage” by his captors, the “Man of Blood” came to merit his unique place in history as England’s “martyr king.” John Matusiak is the author of Henry VIII, Wolsey, and The Tudors in 100 Objects.

Culloden Tales Stories from Scotland’s Most Famous Battlefield Hugh G. Allison A unique record of the last battle fought on British soil Culloden marked the end of clan culture and was the harbinger of the Highland Clearances. It ensured the inevitability of the American Revolution and increased the outpouring of Scots across the globe. It is the only battle that British Army regiments are not permitted to include in their battle honors; the only battle that Bonnie Prince Charlie ever lost; and the only battle that the Duke of Cumberland ever won. Culloden is a battlefield, a graveyard, and an iconic site that draws people from all parts of the world. They bring with them their stories and their father’s father’s stories—stories of civil war, of love, and even of the supernatural. They are peopled by the second-sighted, by clan chiefs and by others who have kept family secrets for centuries. The battlefield is resonant with past deeds and emotive memories. These tales are offered as a unique record to the power of the place. Hugh Allison is employed by the National Trust for Scotland.

206 Nelson’s Lost Jewel The Extraordinary Story of the Lost Diamond Chelengk Martyn Downer The first book to tell the remarkable story of one of Britain’s most famous jewels Following Nelson’s triumph at the Battle of the Nile, he was presented with an extraordinary diamond jewel by the Sultan of Turkey. The chelengk was the Ottomans’ highest reward for gallantry and Nelson the first non-Muslim recipient. He adopted it in his coat of arms and theatrically wore the chelengk on his hat. Breathlessly discussed in the gossip press and depicted in portraits and caricatures, it provoked both ridicule and awe in 18th-century En- gland. This is the remarkable story of one of the most famous jewels in British history, and its journey from Constantinople to London. The chelengk’s eventful descent in Nelson’s family ended with its sale by auction in 1895. Secured for the nation by public appeal, it passed to the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich from where it was stolen in 1951, never to be seen again. The author turns detective in the hope of finally tracking it down. Martyn Downer is former director at Sotheby’s, and the leading specialist in the identifica- tion of artifacts relating to Nelson and the Royal Navy. He has handled the sales of the most valuable artworks belonging to Nelson. He is the author of Nelson’s Purse.

Through the Keyhole Sex, Scandal and the Secret Life of the Country House Susan C. Law A deft analysis of sex, power, and the media in the Regency era describes how the scandalous private lives of the Georgian aristocracy were used to undermine hereditary power Scandal existed long before celebrity gossip columns, often hidden behind the closed doors of the Georgian aristocracy. But secrets were impossible to keep in a household of servants who listened at walls and spied through keyholes. The early mass media pounced on these juicy tales of adultery, eager to cash in on the public appetite for sensation and expose the shocking moral corruption of the establishment. Drawing on a rich collection of original and often outrageous sources, this book brings vividly to life stories of infidelity in high places— passionate, scandalous, poignant, and tragic. It reveals how the flood of print detailing sordid sexual intrigues created a national outcry and made people question whether the nobility was fit to rule. Susan C. Law is a journalist. She has written for the Financial Times, London Evening Stan- dard, and the Times Higher Education Supplement.

It had been a draining conflict, both financially and in terms of human life, and had threatened the very sovereignty of numerous nations. Here, at the crisis point, Bonaparte and Wellington faced each other at last and fought for control of the continent. The tale of the battle that ended the Napoleonic Wars has been told many times, but most often in terms of the political and military situation, debates over strategies, tactics, and the broader global arena. In this book, the story is told by those who were present, in their own words. The accounts come from letters, diaries, and published accounts, sometimes recounted many years later, the eyewitness testimonies of officers and ordinary soldiers, friend and foe. This gripping collection of first-hand experiences lets us feel the deaf- ening roar of cannon, hear the anguished cries of the wounded, and marvel at the heroism on both sides, at the very heart of a battle that was to prove one of the major turning points in European history. Martyn Beardsley is a writer and historian. He has written 35 books, including Deadly Winter and A Matter of Honour: The Story of England’s Last Fatal Duel. He has conducted extensive research into the Napoleonic Wars.

Wellington Gary Sheffield A brief look at the military commander’s historic life Wellington is a giant because he was one of the greatest military commanders in British history, an important figure in the emergence of Britain as a great imperial power, a man who dominated British society and politics for 35 years. He was the only one of Napoleon’s contemporaries who can be mentioned in the same breath as a general—a master of logistics, politics, and coalition warfare as well as strategy, operations, and tactics. This book looks at all of these aspects of Wellington’s military career, and places them in the context of the military and political developments of the time. Wellington’s personality—a key to understanding his success—will be explored. His post-Waterloo career as a politician, although important, will be examined fairly briefly, as the book’s focus will be on Wellington’s military career. Gary Sheffield is Professor of War Studies at the University of Wolverhampton. He is Pres- ident of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides and a Vice President of the Western Front Association. He is the author of Command and Control on the Western Front and The Chief: Douglas Haig and the British Army, which was shortlisted for the prestigious Duke of Westminster’s Medal.

From the late 1980s, India opened itself to the outside world, encouraging economic reform and foreign investment, and is now courted by the world’s leading economic and political powers. It is a major power with a burgeoning middle class, having made substantial strides in areas such as information technology. The availability of a large, skilled workforce makes it a popular choice for international companies looking to outsource work. It has launched a space program and boasts a massive film industry, its “Bollywood” films being amongst the most-watched in the world. Meanwhile, India still has major issues with poverty and illiteracy, and campaigns have been launched to alleviate these problems.

The Second Anglo-Sikh War Amarpal Singh Foreword by Field Marshal Sir John Chapple A comprehensive account of the momentous Second Anglo-Sikh War, complete with maps and illustrations This is the tale of the bloody war that ended in the conquest and annexation of the Punjab by the East India Company. A disgruntled garrison’s chance killing of two young British officers sparks an unexpected war between the East India Company and the Sikh Empire. Following calls for retribution, Sir Hugh Gough, the veteran British Commander-in-Chief, strikes into the heart of the Punjab with a large force to face the Sikh army. After two incon- clusive contests, he nearly comes to grief at the small village of Chillianwalla by the Jhelum River, with half his line repulsed and his force in confusion. Only the fast-gathering darkness and jungle obscure the advantage lying with the Sikh army and prevent a complete British disaster. Recovering from the setback, Gough achieved a decisive victory at the final battle of Gujrat, paving the way for British rule up to the Khyber Pass. This is the warts-and-all story of the conflict that led to the demise of the Sikh Empire. Continuing his innovative approach to history writing from The First Anglo-Sikh War, Amarpal Singh augments the narrative of the campaign with battlefield guides that draw on eyewitness accounts and invite the reader to take a tour of the battlefields, either physically or virtually. Amarpal Singh spent more than 20 years working in the software industry. He is the author of The First Anglo-Sikh War. Field Marshal Sir John Chapple GCB, CBE was a career British Army officer in the second half of the 20th century. He served as Chief of the General Staff from 1988 to 1992. He saw action during the Malayan Emergency and the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation, and later he provided advice to the British Government during the Gulf War.

The Real Persuasion An Intimate Portrait of a Real-Life Austen Heroine Peter James Bowman Explore a real-life Austen heroine’s true story in this intimate Regency family portrait Her father is a vain, foolish baronet, obsessed with his lineage but forced to quit his ancestral seat as a result of his improvidence. Her sister is an invalid with a kind husband and two unruly sons. She falls in love with a handsome naval officer, and he with her, but his income and prospects are judged inadequate by her proud family. Heartbroken, the lovers part: he goes to sea while she leads a forlorn life at home. Years later he returns, having made his fortune, and after further misunderstandings he claims as his bride the woman he never ceased loving. This is the story of Anne Elliot in Jane Austen’s Persuasion. It is also the story of Katherine Bisshopp, the daughter of an old Sussex family. Using the letters and journals between Kath- erine and her sister Harriet and other family correspondence, Peter James Bowman paints an intimate picture of Regency family life, and looks at the remarkable parallels between the true story of the Bisshopps and the fictional narrative of Austen’s final novel. Peter James Bowman is the author of The Fortune Hunter: A German Prince in Regency England.

The Jane Austen Marriage Manual Helen Amy Read the “conduct books” every respectful Regency lady studied A strict code of conduct governed courtship and marriage in Regency England during the period in which Jane Austen’s novels were set, broadly 1796 to 1816. At a time when wom- ens’ only real ambition appeared to be achieving a successful match, young women of the gentry class had to learn and adhere to these rules. Many turned to the etiquette manuals and “conduct books” made available by a burgeoning publishing industry to advise young women in search of a husband. This book draws from this pool of early “how to” popular literature, including many extensive facsimile extracts from the books read by Jane and her contemporaries (and actually referred to in her novels), as well as Jane’s own experiences. It traces the stages of courtship (and its potential pitfalls) from a girl’s first entry into society through to her wedding day and beyond. Helen Amy worked for a number of years in the Court Service. Her interest in the life and works of Jane Austen developed from the research she did for her MA dissertation.

210 Russian Revolution Hope, Tragedy, Death Edited by Ekaterina Rogatchevskaia The story of the Revolution is told here through posters, maps, postcards, letters, newspapers and film stills One hundred years ago events in Russia took the world by storm. In February 1917, in the middle of World War I and following months of protest and political unrest, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated. Later that year a new political force, the socialist Bolshevik Party, seized power under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin. A bloody civil war and period of extraordinary hardship for Russians finally led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. This book accompanies a major exhibition that will reexamine the Russian Revolution in light of recent research, focusing on the experiences of ordinary Russians living through extraordinary times. The Revolution was not a single event but a complex process of dramatic change. Here, leading experts on Russian history reveal the Revolution as a utopian project that had traumatic consequences for people across Russia and beyond. Ekaterina Rogatchevskaia is Lead Curator of East European Collections at the British Library.

Red October The Revolution that Changed the World Douglas Boyd Nine million dead and millions more oppressed for generations: how the Bolshevik Revolution changed the world The October Revolution happened in November 1917. Later Soviet propaganda “proved” it was “the will of the people,” but few know that the brutal rebellion, which killed millions and raised Lenin’s numerically tiny Bolshevik Party to power, was made possible by massive injections of German money laundered through a Swedish bank and a shady arms dealer who had made a fortune in the Balkan wars. The so-called “workers’ and peasants’ revolution” has a cast of millions, of which the three stars were neither workers nor peasants. Nor were they Russian. Lenin was a dissident Tatar named Ulyanov; Trotsky was a bourgeois Ukrainian Jew; Stalin was a seminary-educated Georgian undercover agent of the Okhrana secret police, who never did speak Russian well. In this timely publication, Douglas Boyd shows how this still-flying banner of revolution changed the world. Douglas Boyd was trained as a Russian-language snooper on Warsaw Pact air forces, based at a secret RAF SIGINT base in Berlin, and spent time as a Cold War POW in East Berlin. He has scripted and directed historical reconstructions as a BBC TV producer. He is the author of more than 10 books, including The Kremlin Conspiracy and Daughters of the KGB.

211 The Lost World of Communism An Oral History of Daily Life Behind the Iron Curtain Peter Molloy A riveting oral history of daily life behind the Iron Curtain, with interviewees from political leaders to ordinary citizens 1989 was a year of revolution: it marked the collapse of communism in Eastern and Central Europe and and an end to an entire way of life for millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. Beginning in Hungary, the retreat from communism picked up speed over the summer when the Poles won an overwhelming victory in free elections over their pro-Soviet rulers. In the fall, East Germany and Czechoslovakia achieved freedom with surprisingly little violence. Only Romania, at the end of the year, witnessed a savage battle in the capital and the sum- mary execution of the most notorious of Eastern Europe’s dictators, Nicolae Ceausescu. This book collects first hand testimony of the people who lived in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Romania during the Cold War era, and reveals an astonishingly rich tapestry of experience that goes beyond the headlines of spies and surveillance, secret police and political corruption—in fact, many of the people remember their lives under communism as “perfectly ordinary” and even hanker for the “security” that it offered. From international figures like Vaclav Havel and Lech Walesa, via the shadowy figures of Eastern Europe’s intelligence and security services to its “ordinary” citizens, the voices collected evoke the moods, preoccupa- tions and experiences of a world of that vanished almost overnight. Peter Molloy is a multi-award winning producer of history and current affairs series for the BBC, including Lost World of Communism. This is his first book.

212 Passchendaele 1917 The Tommies Experience of the Third Battle of Ypres Robert J. Parker A new centenary history of the infamous 1917 Western Front campaign The Battle of Passchendaele was the most gruesome yet fought during World War I. The British offensive was launched on the Belgium battlefield at 3:30 am on July 31, 1917, as a massive effort by General Sir Douglas Haig and his British army to achieve a strategic breakthrough and defeat Germany. It failed. Passchendaele has become synonymous with the tragedy of World War I: the abominable conditions of weather, mud, and filth; the horrific injuries inflicted by increasingly industrialized warfare, including tanks, gas, mines, and flamethrowers; the enormous list of casualties (600,000); and the futility of the operation all combined to form a nightmare vision of war in the trenches. What was life like for the common British soldier? Was it necessary, or were there alternatives? And what, if anything, did it achieve? Passchendaele 1917 will seek to answer these questions while reminding us of the sacrifices and heroism of the soldier during World War I. Robert J. Parker is a high school teacher in Indiana.

The Other First World War The Blood-soaked Russian Fronts 1914-1922 Douglas Boyd Challenges the Western Front bias of World War I history Winston Churchill called it “the unknown war.” Unlike the long stalemate of the Western Front, the conflict 1914–1918 between the Russian Empire and the Central Powers was a war of movement spanning a continent. As the whole fabric of society collapsed, German money brought the Bolsheviks to power in the greatest deniable dirty trick of the 20th century, after which Russia stopped fighting, eight months before the Western Front armistice. The cost to Russia was 4 million men dead and as many held as POWs by the Central Powers. All the belligerent powers of the Russian fronts were destroyed: the German, Austro–Hungarian, and Russian empires gone forever, and the Ottoman Empire so crippled that it collapsed in 1922. During four years of brutal civil war that followed, Trotsky’s Red Army fought the White armies, murdering and massacring millions of civilians, as British, American, and other western soldiers of the interventionist forces fought and died from the frozen Arctic to the arid deserts of Iran. This is the story of that other First World War. Douglas Boyd was an RAF Russian linguist.

In this major new history, Allan Mallinson provides answers that are disturbing as well as controversial, and have a contemporary resonance. He disputes the growing consensus among historians that British generals were not to blame for the losses—that, given the magnitude of their task, they did as well anyone could have. He takes issue with the popular view that the “amateur” opin- ions on strategy of politicians such as Lloyd George and, especially, Winston Churchill, prolonged the war and increased the death toll. On the contrary, he argues, even before the war began Churchill had a far more realistic, intelligent, and humane grasp of strategy than any of the admirals or generals, while very few senior officers were up to the intellectual challenge of waging war on this scale. Mallinson argues that from day one of the war Brit- ain was wrong-footed by absurdly faulty French military doctrine and paid, as a result, an unnecessarily high price in casualties. He shows that Lloyd George understood only too well the catastrophically dysfunctional condition of military policy-making and struggled against the weight of military opposition to fix it. And he asserts that both the British and the French failed to appreciate what the Americans’ contribution to victory could be and, after the war, to acknowledge fully what it had actually been. Allan Mallinson is a former professional soldier and the author of the Matthew Hervey series of novels, which include Honorable Company and A Close Run Thing.

A Tangled Web: Mata Hari Dancer, Courtesan, Spy Mary W. Craig A new study of the most infamous spy of World War I, published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of her execution In this new biography, published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of her execution, Mata Hari is revealed in all of her flawed eccentricity; a woman whose adult life was a fantastical web of lies and half-truths. Following a bitter divorce and the death of a young son, Hari reinvented herself as an exotic dancer in Paris, before finally taking up the life of a courtesan. She could have remained a half-forgotten member of France’s grande horizontale were it not for World War I and her disastrous decision to become embroiled in espionage. What happened next was part farce and part tragedy that ended in her execution in October 1917. Recruited by both the Germans and the French as a spy, Hari—codenamed H-21—was also almost recruited by the Russians. But the harmless fantasies and lies she had told on stage had become part of the deadly game of agents and foreign agents during wartime. Struggling with the huge cost of war, the French authorities needed to catch a spy. Mata Hari, the dancer, the courtesan, the fantasist, became the prize catch. Mary W. Craig is a previous Carnegie scholar of the University of Glasgow where she gained a MLItt in history. She is a working historian specializing in the history of central Europe between 1848 and 1933. She also works as a community archivist involved in the creation of archival systems that protect original historical materials while increasing their accessibility to researchers and the general public.

214 Daring Women of History: Amelia Earhart Amelia Earhart Mike Roussel Revealing the naturally courageous nature of “Lady Lyndy,” that made her one of the most daring of 20th-century women Amelia took her first flight as a passenger at an air show and that 10-minute experience sealed her future career. In 1921 she purchased her first aircraft, bright yellow, which she nicknamed the “Canary.” She later sold it because it seemed unlikely she could make a living from flying, but in 1928 Amelia was invited to become the first woman to fly the Atlantic, following Charles Lindberg’s solo transatlantic flight from in 1927. She jumped at the chance, though she was forced to travel as a passenger, and this established “Lady Lindy” in the public eye. Soon she returned to flying, and setting her own records on her own terms.

A Passion for Speed The Daring Life of Mildred, The Honourable Mrs Victor Bruce Paul Smiddy The daring exploits of Mildred Bruce: aviator, racing driver, powerboat racer—and the first woman to fly solo around the world over land Mildred Bruce enjoyed a privileged upbringing that allowed her to search for thrills beyond the bounds of most female contemporaries. She stole her brother’s motorbike at 15. She raced at Brooklands in the 1920s against some of the greats of the era, and took a car 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. She won the ladies’ prize of the Monte Carlo rally and embarked upon powerboat racing. While Amy Johnson was receiving global acclaim for her flight to Australia, Mildred learned to fly, and 8 weeks later embarked on her round the world flight, the first person to fly from the UK to Japan. Captured by brigands, feted by the Siamese, Japanese, and Americans, she survived several crashes with body and spirit intact. Paul Smiddy is a Liveryman of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators, a private pilot, and a contributor to many aviation magazines Biography/History • 208 Pages • 6.25 x 9.25 • 9780750983662 • February $21.95 (Can $29.95) • Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • The History Press

215 Lost Lions of Judah Haile Selassie’s Foreign Legion 1935-41 Christopher Othen The incredible tale of how adventurers, drunks, Nazis, fascists, Pan-African visionaries, and evangelical medical men came together to defend an emperor against a dictator In October 1935 Fascist Italy invaded independent Ethiopia. The Italians had planes, high explosive, and mustard gas. The Ethiopians had swords and spears. Emperor Haile Selassie needed expert outside help. What he got was a crazy gang of mercenaries who could barely shoot straight and were further to the right than Mussolini. Americans posing as fake French counts, Fascist Belgian mercenaries, an African-American pilot duo known as the Black Ea- gle and the Brown Condor (they hated each other), a Cuban veteran of three failed far-right coups, an Austrian Nazi doctor, Swedish soldiers who preferred fighting communism, an alcoholic English dropout. Haile Selassie’s international state support was equally disrep- utable. Hitler backed Selassie as part of a plot to grab back the Rhineland and Japanese secret societies pushed a penniless Tokyo princess into marriage with an Ethiopian prince. Together, this bizarre foreign legion tried to save Ethiopia from Fascism. In his own fast- paced style, Christopher Othen demonstrates how the invasion of Ethiopia almost turned into a worldwide race war. Christopher Othen is the author of Franco’s International Brigades: Adventurers, Fascists, and Christian Crusaders in the Spanish Civil War and Katanga: Mercenaries, Spies, and the African Nation that Waged War on the World.

Women of Intelligence Winning the Second World War with Air Photos Christine Halsall They spied on the enemy in World War II: now the women tell their own stories In World War II, an ornate Victorian mansion overlooking the River Thames at Medmen- ham was the Headquarters of the Allied Central Interpretation Unit. It was here that the air photography, obtained by reconnaissance aircraft flying over the whole of enemy and occupied Europe, was analyzed by Photographic Interpreters; the Intelligence produced from their reports influenced virtually every Allied operation during the war. An analytical mind, curiosity, the ability to search for clues and recognize the unusual were essential qualities for the Interpreters and found in men and women from scientific and artistic backgrounds. Women made up half of the work force. Now the women of Medmenham tell the story of their wartime life and work—in their own words. Christine Halsall volunteered working in the Medmenham Collection—the national archive of PI history, as Collection Biographer.

216 Night in the Front Line And Other Second World War Stories Selected by Ann-Marie Einhaus Little-known magazine short fiction by servicemen and women writing during World War II World War II sparked the writing of hundreds of short stories, by servicemen and women as well as civilians. They appeared in magazines and collections during and after the war, and addressed all areas of the conflict, from the home front to service abroad. Short stories offer a wonderful insight into everyday concerns on the various front lines, and illustrate the humor that kept up morale, as well as the despair and confusion felt by so many. Some authors who captured the experience of WWII in short fiction are still very well known today, but relatively few short stories from the period are readily available in print. This anthology introduces a selection of stories that are both unique representations of individual war experience and representative of larger trends. Ann-Marie Einhaus is Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Northumbria University.

Tales of Lancasters and Other Aircraft Dangerous Skies in the Second World War George Culling Unexpected, bizarre, inconvenient, and often terrifying experiences from a variety of airmen in World War II Of every 100 operational airmen in World War II, nine were killed flying in England and three severely injured in crashes; non-operational casualties numbered more than 15,000. Operational casualties were chillingly grim—more than 56,000 airmen died in World War II, more than half those involved. George Culling was a 19-year-old Lancaster navigator whose experiences often involved battling tricky and dangerous conditions. Fascinated by the ever-present dangers for airmen even away from combat, he has collated tales from comrades and combined them with his own to preserve some of the unexpected, dangerous, and often downright bizarre experiences that typified daily life for airman in World War II. George Culling is a nonagenarian who has belatedly set down his accounts of bizarre experiences at war when, as a 19-year-old, he navigated a Lancaster on flights of up to 10 hours using only the stars to plot their position. He became an expert in astro-navigation after the war ended before spending a long career in teaching.

Death on the Don The Destruction of Germany’s Allies on the Eastern Front, 1941-1944 Jonathan Trigg The military catastrophe that engulfed Nazi Germany’s Axis allies on the Eastern Front Operation Barbarossa was the largest invasion in history. Almost 3.5 million men smashed into Stalin’s Red Army, reaching the gates of Leningrad, Moscow, and Sevastopol. But not all of this vast army was German; by the summer of 1942, over 500,000 were Romanians, Italians, Hungarians, Slovaks, and Croatians—Hitler’s Axis allies. As part of the German offensive that year, more than four allied armies advanced to the Don, only to be annihilated in the Red Army’s Saturn and Uranus winter offensives. Hundreds of thousands were killed, wounded, or captured, and the German Sixth Army was left dying in the rubble of Stalingrad. Poorly equipped and totally unprepared for the war, they were asked to fight. Drawing on first-hand accounts from veterans and civilians, as well as previously unpublished source material, this is the story of one of the greatest military disasters of World War II. Jonathan Trigg is the author of Hitler’s Vikings, Hitler’s Gauls, Hitler’s Flemish Lions, Hit- ler’s Jihadis, and Battle Story: Hastings 1066.

The Last Gentleman of the SAS John Randall and M J Trow A moving testimony from the first Allied officer to enter Bergen-Belsen In 1945, John Randall was the first Allied officer to enter Bergen-Belsen, the concentration camp that revealed the horrors of the Holocaust to the world. Randall was one of the men handpicked for suicidally dangerous missions behind enemy lines in North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany throughout World War II. He hated the Germans, liked the French, and was unimpressed by the Americans and Arabs. He played rugby with Paddy Mayne, the larger-than-life colonel of the SAS and winner of four DSOs. He pushed Randolph Churchill, son of the Prime Minister, out of an airplane. He wined and dined in nightclubs as part of the generation that lived for each day because they might not see another. This extraordinary true story, partly based on previously unpublished diaries, presents a different slant on that mighty war through the eyes of a young man eager for action and adventure. John Randall ran a highly successful business training school after his military career. M J Trow is a military historian who has recently ghostwritten Survivor, the story of Holocaust survivor Sam Pivnik, and Survivor on the River Kwai.

Victory at Villers-Bretonneux Why a French Town Will Never Forget the Anzacs Peter FitzSimons The incredible story of Anzac Day 1918 It’s early 1918, and the fate of World War I hangs in the balance. The Bolsheviks have seized power in Russia, meaning that one million of the Kaiser’s soldiers can be transferred to the Western Front. Two million American soldiers are also on their way. Germany’s only hope is striking at the Allied lines first, and on March 21, 1918, the Kaiserschlacht, the Kaiser’s battle, is launched. Two million German soldiers hurl themselves at the Allied lines, intent ondriving through to the town of Villers-Bretonneux. For two weeks the Germans advance without check as exhausted British troops and French refugees flee. In desperation, the British commander calls upon the Australian soldiers to stop the advance. If the Australians can hold the gate to the train-hub town of Amiens, the Germans will not win the war. The Australians hold off the Germans, launching a vicious counterattack. On Anzac Day 1918, when the town falls after all, it is again the Australians who are called on to save the day. Peter FitzSimons is the author of more than 27 books, including Gallipoli and Batavia.

218 Scorched Earth Australia’s Secret Plan for Total War Under Japanese Invasion in World War II Sue Rosen Top secret documents, discovered after 75 years In 1942 the threat of Japanese invasion hung over Australia. The men were fighting overseas, fighting on other fronts, and Prime Minister Curtin ordered state governments to prepare. From January 1942, a team frantically pulled together secret plans for a “scorched earth” strategy. The goal was to prevent the Japanese from seizing resources for their war machine as they landed, and capturing Australians as slaves as they had done in Malaysia and elsewhere in Asia. From draining domestic water tanks to burning crops; arming special citizen squads to evacuating coastal towns, “Total war, total citizen collaboration” was the motto. Only 31 copies of these top secret plans were ever produced, and most were destroyed after the war because they were considered too frightening. Historians had been searching for them for decades, until Sue Rosen came across them unexpectedly in government files. Sue Rosen is a historian and a heritage consultant.

A True Story of the Great Escape A Young Australian POW in One of the Most Audacious Breakouts 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.

An Awkward Truth The Bombing of Darwin, February 1942 Peter Grose “Combines solid historical research with the tension of a spy novel.” —Shelf Awareness on A Good Place to Hide A 75th anniversary edition of the compelling story of the first foreign assault on Australian soil since settlement—the attack on Darwin by the Japanese in 1942 The bombing of Darwin on February 19, 1942 is the battle Australia tries to forget. Although there was much to be proud of that day—courage, determination, and improvisation—the dark side of the story lingers: looting, desertion, and a calamitous failure of Australian leadership. The Japanese struck with the same carrier-borne force that devastated Pearl Harbor only 10 weeks earlier. There was a difference: they dropped more bombs on Darwin, killed more civilians, and sank more ships than in Pearl Harbor. It remains the single deadliest event in Australian history. Absorbing, spirited, and fast-paced, this is a story of the day war first came to Australia, and of the soldiers and civilians who faced their toughest test on home soil. Peter Grose is the author of A Good Place to Hide.

They were peopled by brilliant and idiosyncratic cryptographers, including some knowledgeable in mathematics and the Classics and others who had lived or grown up in Japan. These men patiently and carefully unraveled the codes in Japanese signals, ultimately playing a crucial role. But this is more than a story of codes. It is an extraordinary exploration of a unique group of men and their intense personal rivalries and loathing. It is the story of a fierce international and inter-service political battle for control of war-changing intelligence between a group of cryptographers based at the Mon- terey apartment block in Melbourne’s Albert Park and General MacArthur’s counter group headquartered in suburban Brisbane. What happened between these two groups would have consequences for intelligence services in the years to follow. Code Breakers brings this surprising and very secret world and the men who operated in it to rich life for the first time.

A Passing Fury Searching for Justice at the End of World War II A. T. Williams “[An] earnest, unsettling book. . . . Williams is a thoughtful, lucid writer, with a lawyer’s appetite for detail. . . . A Passing Fury is heartfelt, moving and often powerfully written.” —Sunday Times A devastating appraisal of the British investigations and trials of German war criminals Any trial is an act of theater. After the horror of World War II, the Nuremberg Tribunal became a symbol of the “free world’s” choice of justice in the face of tyranny, aggression and atrocity. But it was only a fragment of retribution as, with their Allies, the British embarked on the largest program of war crimes investigations and trials in history. This book exposes the deeper truth of this controlled scheme of vengeance. Moving from the scripted trial of Göring, Hess and von Ribbentrop, to the makeshift courtrooms where “minor” war criminals (the psychotic SS officers, the brutal guards, the executioners) were prosecuted, A Passing Fury tells the story of the extraordinary enterprise, the investigators, the lawyers and the perpetrators and asks the question: was justice done? This book reassesses the value and flaws of the attempt to do justice in clear, engaging prose, bringing it to life for a new generation and demonstrating its contemporary relevance in responding to “evil.” A. T. Williams won the George Orwell Prize for Political Writing in 2013 for his book A Very British Killing: the Death of Baha Mousa. A Passing Fury was chosen as a Daily Tele- graph Book of the Year.

221 Churchill’s Third World War British Plans to Attack the Soviet Empire, 1945 Jonathan Walker The war that never was, and how close we came to destruction As the war in Europe entered its final months, the world teetered on the edge of a Third World War. While Soviet forces smashed their way into Berlin, Churchill ordered British military planners to prepare the top-secret Operation Unthinkable—the plan for an Allied attack on the Soviet Union—on July 1, 1945. The plan called for the use of the atomic bomb and Nazi troops if necessary: more than merely controversial, as the extent of the Holocaust was becoming clear. A haunting study of the war that so nearly was, Walker offers a fascinating insight into the upheaval as World War II drew to a close and the Allies’ mistrust of the Soviet Union that would blossom into the Cold War. Jonathan Walker is a member of the British Commission for Military History and an Honor- ary Research Associate at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of books including The Blood Tub: General Gough and the Battle of Bullecourt and Poland Alone: Britain, SOE and the Collapse of the Polish Resistance, 1944. As well as contributing to other recent military history publications, he has appeared on BBC radio and television programs.

Churchill at the Gallop Winston’s Life in the Saddle Brough Scott Foreword by Sir Nicholas Soames With the full backing of both the Churchill family and the Churchill College Archives, and using hitherto un-shown diaries and photographs Horses were at the heart of the Greatest Briton of them all, Sir Winston Spencer Churchill. They were his escape in childhood, his challenge in youth, his transport in war, his triumph in sport, and his diversion in dotage. This book traces all the ways horses affected his life, from the rough ride his mother had while returning from a shooting party that caused Chur- chill’s premature birth, to the time spent riding through childhood, and as he grew into adulthood, when riding horses increasingly became the means of proving the courage that was to become the very core of his being. The book covers his riding in the Royal Military Academy, his leading a 1,200 horse gallop of the Oxfordshire Hussars at Yeomanry camp, his boar hunting in France, his playing polo into his 50s, and his purchase at the age of 75 a front running grey that won 14 races and triggered ecstatic scenes as his homburg-hatted, cigar-chewing owner gave V for Victory signs in the unsaddling enclosure. Brough Scott is a former professional jockey, an award-winning writer and broadcaster, and a grandson of Churchill’s heroic friend Jack Seely, author of Warrior. Sir Nicholas Soames is a member of parliament and the grandson of Winston Churchill.

Behind Palace Doors My Years with the Queen Mother Major Colin Burgess and Paul Carter In a sharp, funny and evocative memoir, the author draws on his years as the Queen Mother’s right-hand man to recount numerous previously untold stories of an extraordinarily long and eventful life The life of the Queen Mother was intensely secret. The most senior and best respected member of any royal family in history, she did not give one media interview in her 101 years. This affectionate and often hilarious glimpse into her world by her former equerry reveals what life was really like living with the most private of all the royals. From dancing with Fred Astaire to living through the Blitz; from the time Princess Margaret caught fire at a dinner party to when Prince Charles sought solace from his grandmother as his marriage collapsed, each anecdote and observation provides an historic insight into one of our longest surviving institutions. Constantly fascinating and packed from start to finish with previously untold stories that lift the lid on the idiosyncrasies of royal protocol, this is also a celebration of a life gone—and a way of life fast disappearing. Major Colin Burgess worked as equerry to the Queen Mother and was made a Member of the Victorian Order by the Queen at an investiture at Buckingham Palace. He now works in television production and management. Paul Carter is a sports journalist and the editor of Sunday Sport.

223 This Is London The Stories You Never Hear. The People You Never See. Ben Judah “Judah grabs hold of London and shakes out its secrets.” —Economist “Full of nuggets of unexpected information about the lives of others. . . . It recalls the journalism of Orwell.” —Financial Times This is London in the eyes of its beggars, bankers, coppers, gangsters, carers, witch- doctors and sex workers. This is London in the voices of Arabs, Afghans, Nigerians, Poles, Romanians and Russians. This is London as you’ve never seen it before. This is the new London: an immigrant city. Over one-third of Londoners were born abroad, with half arriving since the millennium. This has utterly transformed the capital, for better and for worse. Ben Judah is an acclaimed foreign correspondent, but here he turns his reporter’s gaze on home, immersing himself in the hidden world of London’s immigrants to reveal the city in the eyes of its beggars, bankers, coppers, gangsters, carers and witch-doctors. From the backrooms of its mosques, Tube tunnels and nightclubs to the frontlines of its streets, Judah has supped with oligarchs and spent nights sleeping rough, worked on building sites and talked business with prostitutes; he’s heard stories of heartbreaking failure, but also witnessed extraordinary acts of compassion. This bookn explodes fossilized myths and offers a fresh, exciting portrait of what it’s like to live, work, fall in love, raise children, grow old and die in London now. Simultaneously intimte and epic, here is a compulsive and deeply sympathetic book on this dizzying world city from one of our brightest new writers. Ben Judah is the author of Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladi- mir Putin, and his writing has been featured in the New York Times, the Evening Standard, the Financial Times and Standpoint. In 2016, he was chosen as one of Forbes magazine’s 30 under 30 in European media. History • 352 Pages • 5 x 7.75 • 9781447276272 • September • $15.95 • Trade Paper Rights: US • Pan Macmillan/Picador

Black and British A Forgotten History David Olusoga A rich and revealing exploration of the extraordinarily long relationship between the British Isles and the people of Africa Drawing on new genetic and genealogical research, original records, expert testimony and contemporary interviews, Black and British reaches back to Roman Britain, the medieval imagination and Shakespeare’s Othello. It reveals that behind the South Sea Bubble was Britain’s global slave-trading empire and that much of the great industrial boom of the 19th century was built on American slavery. It shows that Black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the trenches of World War I. Black British history can be read in stately homes, street names, statues and memorials across Britain and is woven into the cultural and economic histories of the nation. Unflinching, confronting taboos and revealing hitherto unknown scandals, this book describes how black and white Britons have been intimately entwined for centuries. David Olusoga is a British-Nigerian historian, broadcaster, and a BAFTA award-winning presenter and filmmaker.

The Amazing Mrs Livesey The Remarkable Story of Australia’s Greatest Imposter Freda Marnie Nicholls The truly remarkable life of a notorious woman: a serial fraudster and confidence trickster who became a media sensation in 1945 Ethel Livesey was quite a gal. An attractive young woman from a respectable middle-class family in Manchester, she had more than 40 aliases, eight official marriages, four children, and five divorces. Her story stretches from industrial England to the French Riviera, from Ireland to New York, Shanghai, New Zealand, the Isle of Man, and across Australia. Ethel claimed she was a cotton heiress, wartime nurse, casino hostess, stowaway, artist, opera singer, gambler, spy, close friend of the King, air raid warden, charity queen, and even wife of Australian test cricketer Jack Fingleton. When her career imploded (with the abandonment of her glittering society marriage in post-war Sydney just two hours before the guests were due to arrive), the story of the Amazing Mrs Livesey was blazoned across newspapers around the world. But what was fact and what was fiction? With a prologue by Ethel Livesey’s granddaughter, this extraordinary and constantly surprising story of the woman who was possibly Australia’s greatest fraudster is told for the first time in rich and fascinating detail. Freda Marnie Nicholls is a journalist. Luita Frances Aichinger is Ethel Livesey’s granddaughter and has her father’s tapes and transcripts recording his mother’s life.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel The Life of an Engineering Genius Colin Maggs A major new biography of Britain’s greatest engineer, the visionary Isambard Kingdom Brunel In his time, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was the world’s greatest engineer. His list of achievements is truly breathtaking: the Thames Tunnel, the first underwater tunnel in the world; the SS Great Britain, the first propeller-driven ship; the Clifton Suspension Bridge, then the longest span of any bridge in the world; and the Great Western Railway. History has been kind to his memory: many of his creations still exist and he is lauded by historians as a truly “Great Briton.” In this full-scale biography Colin Maggs presents a portrait of a complex, ambitious, and determined genius. But the Brunel that emerges is not without flaws. He made mistakes, both personal and technical—he wasn’t always right, but never admitted he was wrong. Drawing on Brunel’s diaries, letters, and business papers, we see the real Isambard, a more human figure, emerging from behind the towering structures and machines he created. Colin Maggs is one of the country’s foremost transport and engineering historians and has written more than 100 books as well as innumerable magazine articles. In 1993 he received the MBE for services to railway history.

The Dark Side of Japan Ancient Black Magic, Folklore, Ritual Antony Cummins A fascinating collection of folktales, ritual black magic, protection spells, monsters, and other dark interpretations of life and death from Japanese folklore The Dark Side of Japan is a collection of folktales, ritual black magic, protection spells, monsters, and other dark interpretations of life and death from Japanese folklore.

The Dark Side of Japan is illustrated with more than 100 images, some drawn from ancient scrolls, some photographs of contemporary Japan, some specially commissioned to explain some of the “hellish” concepts within—and remarkably hellish they are, too.

He has appeared in the documentaries Ninja Shadow Warriors, Samurai Head Hunters, Samurai Warrior Queens, and Ancient Black Ops.

The Unsinkable Titanic The Triumph Behind a Disaster Allen Gibson Explore Titanic’s place in history as a crowning glory in maritime development Delving deep into Titanic’s legacy, Allen Gibson presents a comprehensive history with a refreshing argument, that Titanic represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. He determines the true causes of the disaster, telling the story of the “unsinkable” ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous and rapidly emerging technological world. The book exposes the true interests of the people involved in the operation, regulation, and investigation into Titanic, and lays bare the technology so dramatically destroyed. Juxtaposing the dueling worlds of economics and safety, this study rationalizes the mindset that willfully dispatched the world’s largest ship out to sea with a deficient supply of lifeboats. Allen Gibson spent much of his career working for Government establishments, including the House of Commons, the Foreign Office and Downing Street, and the Underwater Wreck Licensing Branch for the Dept of National Heritage, responsible for safeguarding Britain’s interest for Titanic.

Cunard Cruise Ships Ian Collard An in-depth look at the cruise ships of the iconic Cunard line The Cunard Line’s Britannia was the first steamship to establish regular communication across the Atlantic. She sailed on her maiden voyage on July 4, 1840, setting in motion the first regular steamship line. Iron supplanted wood in hull construction and the screw propeller was gradually replacing the paddle wheel. The line became a public company in 1878 and became The Cunard Steam Ship Company Limited. The construction of many famous ships such as Mauretania, Lusitania, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth followed and the company continued to trade in profit until the introduction of the jet aircraft in the 1960s and 1970s. Following various restructuring and take-overs the Cunard Line was also acquired by the Carnival Corporation and now offers cruises on the Three Queens. Utilizing many rare and unpublished images, Ian Collard offers a lavishly illustrated look at the cruise ships operated by Cunard. Included here are images of the ships in many guises and liveries as the author offers an array of superb photographs of these iconic liners. Ian Collard has written many books on ocean liners and cargo ships, particularly those sailing out of Liverpool. His works include Blue Funnel Line, The British Cruise Ship, and P&A Campbell Steamers.

232 STORY SERIES

The Wright Brothers Story Mike Roussel The story behind the Wright Flyer and two unique brothers whose pioneering work changed aviation history The brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright were fascinated by human flight. Their first powered airplane, “The Wright Flyer,” was tested at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Wilbur’s first flight was on December 14, 1903 but stalled and crashed. Three days later, after repairs, Orville flew to 540 feet and landed safely after 12 seconds: the first powered flight in aviation history. Fearing competition, the brothers declined to demonstrate for the US Army, traveling to France in 1908 to prove their aircraft to be far superior to their European competitors. A tragedy soon followed when a passenger died in a crash, but the brothers persevered, working together until in 1912 when Wilbur died from typhoid. Orville sold the Wright Company in 1915, devoting his time to research until he died at the age of 76. Mike Roussel has previously written Joe Smith: Spitfire’s Forgotten Designer, as well as co-authoring Shipwrecks of the Cunard Line and The Union Castle Line. He is an active supporter of Solent Sky Aviation Museum.

243 When I Hit You Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife Meena Kandasamy “Powerful . . . The Gypsy Goddess has a lyrical, radical core, which offers bold perspectives on the relationship between poverty and power.” —Guardian on The Gypsy Goddess “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 . . . The Gypsy Goddess is a novel of self-conscious experimentalism and unmistakable fury, it throws down a gauntlet to conservative literary and political sensibilities.” —Independent on The Gypsy Goddess Informed and inspired by her own experiences, Kandasamy’s second novel is a dazzling and provocative novel of an abusive marriage—for readers of Men Explain Things to Me, I Love Dick and The Argonauts Seduced by politics and poetry, the unnamed narrator falls in love with a university professor and agrees to be his wife, but what for her is a contract of love is for him a contract of ownership. As he sets about reducing her to his idealized version of a kept woman, bullying her out of her life as an academic and writer in the process, she attempts to push back—a resistance he resolves to break with violence and rape. Smart, fierce and courageous,When I Hit You is a dissection of what love meant, means and will come to mean when trust is undermined by violence; a brilliant, throat-tightening feminist discourse on battered faces and bruised male egos; and a scathing portrait of traditional wedlock in modern India. Meena Kandasamy is a poet, fiction writer, translator and activist who is based in India. She has published two collections of poetry, Touch and Ms. Militancy, and the critically-acclaimed novel, Gypsy Goddess.

Gull Glenn Patterson A great American hustler is brought to vivid life in the most unlikely setting imaginable It was one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland: the construction, during the war’s most savage phase, of a factory in West Belfast to make a luxury sports car with gull-wing doors. Huge subsidies were provided by the British government. The first car rolled off the line during the appalling hunger strikes of 1981. The prime mover and central character of this intelligent, witty and moving novel was John DeLorean, brilliant engineer, charismatic entrepreneur and world-class conman. He comes to energetic, seductive life through the eyes of his fixer in Belfast, a traumatized Vietnam veteran, and of a woman who takes a job in the factory against the wishes of her husband. Each of them has secrets and desires they dare not share with anyone they know. Glenn Patterson is the author of The International and The Rest Just Follows. He co-wrote the screenplay of the film Good Vibrations, based on the Belfast music scene of the 1970s.

249 The Lives of Tudor Women Elizabeth Norton A lively and insightful study of the many roles played by women in the Tudor era, from queens to wet-nurses and countesses to serving maids The Tudor age was a time when death in infancy or during childbirth was rife; marriage was usually not a matter for love, and the education of women was minimal at best. Yet the Tu- dor century was also dominated by powerful women in a way that no era had been before. This book explores the seven ages of the Tudor woman, from childhood to old age, through the examples of women such as Elizabeth Tudor, Henry VIII’s sister who died in infancy; Mary Howard, widowed but influential at court; Elizabeth Boleyn, mother of a controversial queen; and Elizabeth Barton, a peasant girl lauded as a prophetess. Their stories are interwoven with studies of topics ranging from Tudor toys to contraception to witchcraft, painting a portrait of the lives of queens and serving maids, nuns and harlots, widows and chaperones. Elizabeth Norton is a historian of the queens of England and the Tudor period. She is the author of The Temptation of Elizabeth Tudor.

Dan Jones is a broadcaster, award-winning journalist and pioneer of the resurgence of interest in medieval history.

250 The Earth Gazers Christopher Potter The fascinating story of how we first came to see the earth from space The most beautiful and influential photographs ever made were of the whole earth seen from space. They were taken from the moon, almost as an afterthought, by the astronauts of the Apollo space program. They inspired a generation to think more seriously about our responsibility for this tiny oasis in space, the “blue marble” falling through empty darkness. This is a book about the long road to the capture of those unforgettable images. It is a history of the space program and of the ways in which it transformed our view of the earth and changed the lives of the astronauts who walked in space and on the moon. It is the story of the often blemished visionaries who inspired that journey into space: Charles Lindbergh, Robert God- dard, and Wernher Von Braun, and of the courageous pilots who were the first humans to escape the Earth’s orbit. Christopher Potter is the author of You Are Here: A Portable History of the Universe. Science • 400 Pages • 6 x 9.25 • 9781784974329 • December • (Can $34.95) • Cloth Rights: Canada • Head of Zeus
