Marlon James

The award-winning debut from the critically-acclaimed author of A Brief History of Seven Killings

With language as taut as classic works by Cormac McCarthy and a richness reminiscent of early Toni Morrison, this stunning debut is set in James’s native Jamaica.

VOICES IN THE OCEAN An odyssey through a wonderful world under threat

Susan Casey

An odyssey through a wonderful world under threat

Through dolphins, we can see the best and worst of mankind.

On average, seventy-four dolphins wash up on the Gulf of Mexico’s north shore every year. In the first half of 2012, there were eight hundred and ninety-one of them, with stillborn baby dolphins washing up at ten times the average yearly rate. The cause? BP’s disastrous oil spill in 2010.

For decades mankind’s actions have led to the deaths of thousands of these beautiful creatures and this continues now, at a time when we know more about them than we ever have before. We know about their intelligence, abilities, and their culture. We know how similar to us they really are.

In her most provocative book yet, Susan Casey explores how our relationship with nature has become so dysfunctional that it jeopardises our own existence.

A heart-warming story about the redemptive qualities of reading, and a fascinating introduction to some wonderful novels - and the men who are reading them

After Ann Walmsley was mugged near her home in Hampstead, it shook her belief in the fundamental goodness of people. A few years later, when a friend asked her to participate in a bold new venture in a men’s prison, Ann had to weigh her curiosity and desire to be of service with her anxiety and fear… but she signed up to help.

There was no wine and cheese, or superficial chat about jobs or recent vacations, and the new members boasted a wide variety of interesting tattoos. But a book club on the inside proved to be a wonderful place to share ideas and regain faith in humanity.

For the men, the books were rare prized possessions and the meetings were a respite from isolation and surveillance. Having been judged themselves, they were quick to make judgments about the characters they met, and with every page, revealed glimpses of their own struggles that were both devastating and comic. From The Grapes of Wrath to The Cellist of Sarajevo, and Outliers to Infidel, the books became a springboard for frank conversations about loss, anger, heroism and loneliness.

THE HORSE A Biography of Our Noble Companion Wendy Williams

The meeting of natural and human history, through the life of the horse

Horses have been immensely helpful to mankind through history; we’ve used them for work, transport and sport. They even played a key role in confirming and then refining Darwin’s theory of evolution. But do they get anything out of this relationship with us? And what would have happened if we’d simply left them alone?

Williams traces the history of the horse from its origins to the present day. She explores the horse-human relationship over time, taking us from the macabre and mysterious ‘horse graveyard’ at Solutre through to their domestic relationship with us, which began 6,000 years ago. The Horse is a search for an answer to the question of what it’s like to be horse, ending with a look ahead to what the future holds for humans and equines.
