Cover art: Blowfish’s Oceanopedia, 9781786492425, Atlantic Books Artwork by Andrew Smith See page 98 Furbex A Dog’s Life of Urban Exploration Alice van Kempen Both haunting and hilarious, a collection of photographs exploring urban ruins, made special by the presence of Claire, bull terrier Claire is not your everyday practitioner of “urbex,” the modern underground passion for “urban exploration” that lures 21st-century adventurers into the hidden labyrinths and decay- ing chambers of disused buildings and urban spaces. Claire is, you see, a bull terrier. And with her photographer companion, Alice Van Kempen, she has created the canine expression of the art . . . “furbex.” Furbex is a dazzling photographic record of Claire’s adventures among the abandoned spaces of Europe. It captures her ghostly presence in ruined hotels and grand houses; crumbling castles and palaces; forgotten theaters and cinemas. Fascinated by shadows and light, past and present, and the mysterious, dark worlds of abandoned places, Alice van Kempen uses thrift shop props and long exposures to create photographs with the air of Old Master paintings; while Claire’s tragi-comic presence imbues every image with the pathos and comedy of a silent movie. The result is a haunting and hilarious gift book of unique photographs, which will appeal to urban explorers, dog lovers (most particularly the cult following of the bull terrier breed), and all lovers of the Gothic, the mysterious and the absurd. Alice van Kempen has been photographing dogs around the world for over 25 years. Her and Claire’s “furbex” Instagram has 21,000 followers. Their many awards include first prize in the pets category of the International Photography Awards; and the Reader’s Choice Award in the Smithsonian Photo Contest for “The Orient Express,” an image of Claire in an abandoned train.

1 Ricochet David Bowie 1983: An Intimate Portrait Denis O’Regan A breathtaking, never-before-seen glimpse into life on tour with David Bowie, by the late singer’s official tour photographer In Ricochet, the official photographer of one of the most celebrated musicians of all time reveals intimate stories and pictures that offer an exclusive insight into David Bowie, the man and musician. Taken on the “Serious Moonlight Tour”—Bowie’s largest ever tour that took in 99 concerts in over 60 cities—De- nis’s photos provide a thrilling, intimate view of life on the road with a unique pop icon. From capturing the theater and mime of Bowie on stage to unguarded snapshots of the artist at his most human, every single image in Ricochet was personally approved by Bowie himself, and the result is a music photography book like no other. Witty, poignant, and beautifully produced, Rico- chet is a rare and spirited look into the life of an inimitable artist, whose music and performances have inspired—and continue to inspire—generations of listeners around the world. Denis O’Regan has toured the world as official photographer to David Bowie, Queen, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Du- ran Duran. He was the official photographer at Live Aid, and continued that tradition as official photographer at the Concert For Diana, MTV European Music Awards, and most recently Download, Coachella, and Glastonbury festivals.

2 HOW TO THINK LIKE SERIES

How to Think Like Obama Daniel Smith Learn how to think big with this unique insight into the mind of one of the world’s great influencers Barack Obama’s path towards greatness and the choices he made along the way can be understood by an attitude that saw him take on any challenge—indeed, “Yes We Can” became the all-inclusive slogan for his presidential candidacy. Obama aimed to define his presidency as one that would provide opportunities for the many, not the few. With the price of change being gritty negotiation and compromise, he evolved the skills of a 21st century president which belied his relative inexpe- rience to achieve the America that, as a young man, he had dreamed of. This book reveals the motivations, inspirations, and philosophies behind a man who broke the mold to challenge the status quo. With his thoughts on leadership, innova- tion, overcoming obstacles, and fighting inequality, and with quotes by and about him, this book can teach you to think like Barack Obama. Daniel Smith is the author of How to Think Like Sherlock, How to Think Like Steve Jobs, Is Their Alot Wrong With This Centence?, The Language of London, and Think You Know It All?

5 Horizontal Collaboration Navie Illustrations by Carole Maurel A feminist graphic novel showing a dangerous World War II romance between a Frenchwoman and a German soldier “Horizontal Collaboration” is a term used to describe the sexual and romantic relationships that some French women had with members of the occupying German forces during World War II. In this poignant, female-centered graphic novel created by writer/artist duo Carole Maurel and Mademoiselle Navie, the taboo of “sleeping with the enemy” is explored through the story of a passionate, and forbidden, affair. In June 1942, married Rose (whose husband is a prisoner of war) intervenes in the detainment of her Jewish friend and then accidentally embarks on a secret relationship with the investigating German officer, Mark. There is only one step between heroism and treason, and it’s often a dangerous one. Inside an apartment building on Paris’s 11th arrondissement, little escapes the notice of the blind husband of the concierge. Through his sightless but all- knowing eyes, we learn of Rose and Mark’s hidden relationship, and also of the intertwined stories and problems of the other ten- ants, largely women and children, who face such complex issues as domestic violence, incest, and prostitution. This fascinating graphic novel tackles the still-sensitive topic of who it is accept- able to love, and how, and the story’s drama is brought vividly to life by intimate and atmospheric illustrations. Navie is a screenwriter for press, cinema, and television. She has a history degree from The Sorbonne, where she specialized in the history of fascism. Carole Maurel is a prolific artist who has worked in animation cinema, publishing (as a storyboard artist), and as a graphic novelist. Her 2017 book The Apocalypse According to Magda was awarded the Artémisia Avenir award.

6 City of Pleasure Alexandre Dupouy A cultural document of the erotic history of Paris, a subject of endless fascination After the austerity, horror, and bloodshed of World War I, France longed for joy, light- heartedness, and sexual freedom. Men and newly emancipated women alike rejected pre- war values and moral restraints. They embraced new lifestyles, and discovered a lust for extravagance, partying, and erotic experimentation that had the inter-war era known as the Roaring Twenties, or the “mad years,” and Paris as the City of Pleasure. In this uncensored and fascinating photographic record of the period, historian Alexandre Dupouy pulls backs the bedcovers on Paris’s eye-opening erotic life, revealing the delights of its fetish scene, its licensed brothels and gay nightclubs, the first sex shop chains, erotic photography, pornog- raphy, and much more. This is an uncensored, titillating, and utterly fascinating look at the sexual excesses of the inter-war period in what was the world’s most decadent city. Alexandre Dupouy is a bookseller and collector who has been a leading authority on under- the-counter culture for almost 50 years, and has written and contributed to numerous books in his native France. He is the proud owner of the Parisian emporium Larmes d’Éros.

The Whole Art of Dress A Gentleman’s Guide to Apparel A Cavalry Officer A guide to men’s fashions, complete with advice for gentlemen on posture and grooming, first published in 1830 As we look back upon past centuries, and can scarce repress our laughter at many of the absurd fancies in costumes our ancestors wore, our present beloved fashions equally in their turn may become subjects of wonder and mirth to our future descendants. Part fashionable guide, part defense of dandyism, this manual for menswear was originally published in 1830. It advises on the nuances of men’s fashion, on how to perfect all elements of dress, from the elegant staple of cravatiana to the delightful whimsy of masquerade dress. Color, cut, and fabric choice are scrutinized, with accompanying advice given on the subjects of posture— one must not turn the toes in!—and the male grooming regime. A definitive guide to the rules of dress and decorum, this is a handbook that the fashionably-inclined gentleman simply cannot do without. A Calvary Officer is the pseudonym under which The Whole Art of Dress was originally published.

27 THE WICKED WIT OF SERIES

The Wicked Wit of England Geoff Tibballs A joyous celebration of English wit at its finest—from cutting sarcasm to the stiff upper lip and all the nuanced peculiarities in between If there is one thing that first-time visitors to England find mystifying, it is the sense of humor. English humor encompasses a number of different styles. It can be surreal or sa- tirical, dark or sophisticated, bawdy or genteel. And nobody does irony or sarcasm like the English. The various idiosyncrasies of the English character—the social awkwardness, the constant need to apologize, the weather obsession, the stiff upper lip, and the love of queuing, to name but a few—are celebrated inthiscollection of stories, anecdotes, quips, and quotes featuring English people from all walks of life, from Quentin Crisp to Frank Skinner and Stephen Hawking to Thora Hird. Geoff Tibballs is the editor of The Mammoth Book of Humor. Humor • 160 Pages • 5 x 8 • 9781789290219 • July • $16.95 (Can $22.95) • Cloth Rights: US & Canada • Michael O’Mara

The Wicked Wit of Ireland Myles Byrne Traditional Irish humor mixed with distinctly modern one-liners, quips, and quotes Modern comedians and writers as varied as Dylan Moran, Sharon Horgan, Tommy Tiernan, Alison Spittle, Graham Linehan, and Ed Byrne have their own distinctive ways of celebrating and mocking their origins while still occasionally acknowledging the traditional “paddywackery” (meaning the rain-soaked, Guinness-sodden Oirish stereotype of old). The roots of Irish humor are complex: for centuries, classic Irish writers have used black humor and sarcasm, ranging from the satires of Jonathan Swift, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde through to the hilarity of J.P. Donleavy and the sublime nonsense of Flann O’Brien and Spike Milligan. This collection combines a pinch of traditional Irish humor mixed with distinctly modern one-liners, quips, and quotes from the best of the current crop of humorists. Myles Byrne is a musician, designer, and writer. Humor • 160 Pages • 5 x 8 • 9781789290233 • July • $16.95 (Can $22.95) • Cloth Rights: US & Canada • Michael O’Mara

28 The Rainbow Comes and Goes Diana Cooper “Poetic, idiosyncratic, poignant, funny, unflagging, scintillating, simple, stylish; not the book of the season, or of the bedside table; a book . . . to be read and reread and loved for a lifetime.” —Evelyn Waugh The first volume of Diana Cooper’s witty, gossipy and sparkling autobiography—the perfect evocation of a bygone age. For fans of Downton Abbey and Nancy Mitford. Lady Diana Cooper was a star of the early 20th stage, screen and social scene. This first installment of her sparkling autobiography tells of her upbringing, her beautiful artistic mother and aristocratic father, her debut into high society and the glittering parties—”dancing and extravagance and lashing of wine, and charades and moonlit balconies and kisses”—which were interrupted with the outbreak of World War I. This volume ends with Diana’s marriage to the “love of her life,” diplomat and politician Duff Cooper. Lady Diana Cooper (August 1892-1986) was a society darling, actress and wife of politican Alfred Duff Cooper, DSO.

The Light of Common Day Diana Cooper The second volume of Diana Cooper’s witty, gossipy and brilliant autobiography— all three glittering volumes reissued by Vintage Classics Lady Diana Cooper had been famous from her earliest youth, the subject of gossip and ado- ration as the queen of the “Coterie,” an exclusive high society set. Her marriage to Duff Coo- per, a rising political star, and her career on the stage and in early silent films only increased her notoriety. Her second volume of autobiography chronicles these years in the run-up to World War II, and her adventures as an unconventional hostess, actress, wife and mother are told in typically fast-paced, witty and brilliant style. Lady Diana Cooper (August 1892-1986) was a society darling, actress and wife of politican Alfred Duff Cooper, DSO. Her startling beauty resulted in her playing the lead in two silent films and then Max Reinhardt’sThe Miracle. In 1944, following the Liberation of Paris, the couple moved into the British Embassy in Paris. They then retired to a house at Chantilly just outside Paris. After Duff’s death in 1954 Diana remained there till 1960, when she moved back to London.

29 A Lesson in Art & Life The Colourful World of Cedric Morris & Arthur Lett Haines Hugh St. Clair A long overdue biography of a couple who were hugely influential across the spheres of art, gardening and cooking This first-ever biography focuses on the couple at the center of the mid-century movement: Cedric Morris (1889-1982) and Arthur Lett Haines (1894-1978). Morris was a celebrated artist, teacher and plant breeder and his partner of 50 years, Arthur Lett Haines, known as Lett, was an artist, sculptor, cook and teacher. Partners in love, they were at the heart of the avant-garde Parisian scene partying with Fernand Leger, Marcel Duchamp, Jean Cocteau and Man Ray. Returning to London in the 1930s, admirers and friends included D. H Lawrence, the Sitwells, Wyndham Lewis, Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore and Ivon Hitchens. Morris was a notable colorist and Lett was hailed as Britain’s first surrealist. Morris and Lett left London to start the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Suffolk, which Lucian Freud at- tended along with Maggi Hambling. Francis Bacon and cookery writer Elizabeth David were regular visitors to the art school. The atmosphere there was described as “robust and coarse, exquisite and sensitive all at once, also faintly dangerous.” For those wanting to escape their stuffy and restrictive background it was heaven. The conversation was sometimes bawdy and bitchy but never boring. Cedric Morris is known as much for his gardening as his painting. He won countless prizes for plants he bred and many bear his name today. He was a huge influence on Beth Chatto and many others. Morris and Lett encouraged and enabled people of all incomes and classes to pursue their dreams of becoming artists and gardeners. Hugh St. Clair is an experienced arts and design journalist. He has edited and written four books on paintings including three Miller’s Guide to Art and Buying Affordable Art.

Father & Son Edmund Gosse Introduction by Anthony Quinn The classic memoir of intergenerational strife, with an afterword from author of The Essex Serpent, Sarah Perry, and an introduction from Anthony Quinn Edmund Gosse’s childhood memoir tells the often fractious, often comic story of his relationship with his authoritarian father. A pioneering naturalist and marine biologist, Philip Henry Gosse’s strictly religious worldview is brought into crisis by the discoveries of Charles Darwin, and the death of his wife—and Edmund’s mother—Emily. As Edmund breaks away from his father’s influence, the evolution from one epoch to the next is described in all of its struggle, humor and glory. Sir Edmund William Gosse was born in 1849 to the Naturalist Philip Henry Gosse and the poet and illustrator Emily Bowes. A poet and a critic, as well as the librarian of the House of Lords library, Gosse wielded considerable influence in the art world of the early 20th century. Gosse was knighted in 1925, three years before his death in 1928. Sarah Perry is the author of The Essex Serpent. Anthony Quinn was an Academy Award-winning actor.

31 TALES OF THE WEIRD

From the Depths And Other Strange Tales of the Sea Edited by Mike Ashley A collection of strange, sea-dark tales from a range of authors, pulled from the obscure depths of time From atop the choppy waves to the choking darkness of the abyss, the seas are full of mystery and rife with tales of inexplicable events and encounters with the unknown. In this anthology we see a thrilling spread of narratives: sailors are pitched against a nightmare from the depth, invisible to the naked eye; a German U-boat commander is tormented by an impossible transmission via Morse Code; a ship ensnares itself in the kelp of the Sargasso Sea and dooms a crew of mutineers, seemingly out of revenge for her lost captain. The supernatural is set alongside the grim affairs of sailors scorned in these salt-soaked tales, recovered from obscurity for the 21st century. Mike Ashley is the author and editor of more than 100 books, and is one of the foremost historians of popular fiction.

Haunted Houses Two Novels Charlotte Riddell Edited by Andrew Smith A set of spooky rediscovered novels with a clever take on a hauntingly familiar trope From the once-popular yet unfairly neglected Victorian writer Charlotte Riddell comes a pair of novels which cleverly upholster the familiar furniture of the haunted house story.

59 The French Art of War Alexis Jenni Translated by Frank Wynne “A masterpiece.” —Le Figaro “Difficult to put down and impossible to forget.” —Irish Times Angry, dazzling and humane, the Goncourt-winning novel about the intervals of peace and the moments of unspeakable savagery in French wars spanning half the world and half a century 1991. A young man is mesmerized by the rolling coverage of Desert Storm. Forging sick notes to avoid work and feigning reasons to avoid his girlfriend, he gradually destroys his whole life. Then he meets Victorien Salagnon, an elderly artist and a veteran of countless wars. Together, they strike a bargain: Salagnon will teach the young man to paint and, in return, he wants his memoirs written down, a ranging, bloody life story of being a teenage résistant in Nazi-occupied France; of hunting rebels in Indochina and engaging in torture in Algeria; of the deaths that were as numberless as they were senseless; of the killing fields on which the modern world is built. Alexis Jenni is a French novelist and biology teacher. His debut novel, The French Art of War, won the 2011 Prix Goncourt. Frank Wynne jointly won the International IMPAC Dub- lin Literary Award with Michel Houellebecq for Atomised, and his translation of Frédéric Beigbeder’s Windows on the World won the 2005 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. He is a two-time winner of the Scott Moncrieff Translation Prize for translation from the French and the Premio Valle-Inclán for Spanish Translation.

Woman at Sea Catherine Poulain Translated by Adriana Hunter “A vivid account of hard graft in treacherous conditions. . . . The salt-stung pages prac- tically reek of the cod that the 30-something narrator, Lili, spends her days gutting, as she wins over a gruff crew doubtful she can earn her keep.” —Daily Mail The debut novel that became a huge French bestseller: a wild, gripping story of one woman’s battle with the elements on board an Alaskan fishing boat Lili is a runaway. She’s left behind her native France to go in search of freedom, of adventure, of life. Her search takes her to Kodiak, Alaska, home to a ragtag community of fishermen, army vets and drifters who man the island’s fishing fleet. Despite her tiny frame, faltering English and lack of experience, Lili lands a job on board the Rebel, the only woman on the boat. Out on the open sea, everything is heightened: colors are more vivid, sounds are louder and the work is harder than anything she’s ever known. The terrifying intensity of the ocean is addictive to the point of danger. But Lili is not alone: in her fellow crewmembers she finds kindred spirits—men living on the edge, drawn to extremes. Based on Catherine Poulain’s own experiences, and written in taut, muscular prose, Woman at Sea cuts through the noise of life and straight to the heart of our innermost longings. Catherine Poulain has worked in fish farms in Iceland, as a farm worker in Canada, as a barmaid in Hong Kong, and she spent 10 years fishing in Alaska. Woman at Sea is her first novel. Adriana Hunter won the 2011 Scott-Moncrieff Prize for her translation of Véronique Olmi’s Bord de Mer (Beside the Sea), and the 2013 French-American Foundation and Flor- ence Gould Foundation Translation Prize for her translation of Hervé Le Tellier’s Electrico W, and has been shortlisted twice for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

At the Edge of the Night Friedo Lampe Translated by Simon Beattie “At the Edge of the Night appeared in 1933. I read it at the time with great interest, as German prose writers of such quality were rare even then. . . . And what struck us at the time . . . as so beautiful and powerful has not paled, it has withstood; it proves itself with the best, and captivates and delights just as then.” —Hermann Hesse Banned by the Nazis, this haunting novel by a gay German writer in the 1930s is a rare early work of magic realism, available in English for the first time This poignant novel, beautifully translated by Simon Beattie, was, in Lampe’s words, “born into a regime where it could not breathe;” he hoped that one day it might rise again. It has no one main character, but evokes the sensations and impressions of a sultry September evening on the waterfront of Bremen, with its charm and tenderness, squalor and lust. It contains a stream of images with many characters: children, old and young people, men and women, townsfolk, performers, students and seamen. Things happen as they happen, horrible things, touching things. Its depiction of raw reality was unacceptable to the Nazis: the book was seized by them in December 1933 and withdrawn from sale. An antiquarian bookseller specializing in European cultural (and cross-cultural) history Frie- do Lampe (1899–1945) was born in Bremen. A disabled gay German writer, he survived the Third Reich only to be shot by the Red Army six days before the end of World War II. He wrote two novels, poetry and some short stories.

61 Breakout at Stalingrad Heinrich Gerlach Translated by Dr Peter Lewis The original rediscovered version of the epic World War II novel Stalingrad, November 1942. Lieutenant Breuer dreams of returning home for Christmas. Since August, the Germans have been fighting the Soviets for control of the city on the Volga. Between November 19 and 23 a Soviet counterattack encircles the Sixth Army. Some 300,000 German troops will endure a hellish winter on the freezing steppe. When Field Marshal Paulus surrenders on February 2, 1943, just 91,000 German soldiers remain alive. Breakout at Stalingrad has an extraordinary story behind it. Its author was imprisoned by the Soviets at Stalingrad. In captivity, he wrote a novel based on his experiences, which the Soviets confiscated. He resorted to hypnosis to remember his narrative, and in 1957 it was published as The Forsaken Army. Fifty-five years later Carsten Gansel came across the original in a Moscow archive. Heinrich Gerlach served as a lieutenant in the 14th Panzer Division at Stalingrad. Wounded and then captured by the Soviets, he wrote Breakout at Stalingrad while being held in captivity in the USSR. He died in 1991. Fiction • 720 Pages • 5 x 7.75 • 9781786690630 • Replaces: 9781786690623 • March $16.95 (Can $22.95) • Trade Paper • Rights: US & Canada • Head of Zeus

62 Dogs and Others Biljana Jovanovic Translated by John K. Cox The first novel of pioneering Serbian author Biljana Jovanovic to be published in English The protagonist in Dogs and Others is the first openly lesbian character in modern Serbian literature, but she is also so much more than that, as she encapsulates the zeitgeist of her generation. Coming of age in 1970s Belgrade, then the capital city of thriving, socialist Yu- goslavia, we follow Lida and the bohemian life she leads, which is made complicated by the trials and tribulations of her family. The whole novel breathes with a new kind of raw sen- sibility so aptly captured in the voice of the heroine—a striking, rebellious, overtly feminist and somewhat neurotic young woman. Biljana Jovanovic (1953–96) was a Serbian intellectual who published poetry, three novels, four plays, and a number of nonfiction pieces, mostly connected to her time in the anti- Miloševic opposition of the 1990s. She was known for her feminist and anti-war work with human rights groups and a “flying” (underground) university.John K. Cox is professor of history and department head at North Dakota State University. His translations include five volumes of works by Danilo Kiš; short fiction by Ismail Kadare, Ivo Andric, and Meša Selimovic; and nonfiction by Joseph Roth and Stefan Heym. He lives in Fargo.

Doppelgänger Daša Drndic Translated by S.D. Curtis and Celia Hawkesworth “The capacity to see the bricolage of a reticent, morally compromised, elegiac past— and, more unsettlingly, how that past might see us—is a central feature of the work of the Croatian writer Dasa Drndic.” —Paris Review “Drndic is relentless; her righteousness is passionate. Human anguish seeps from the pages, yet her writing proves unexpectedly exhilarating.” —L.A. Review of Books Daša Drndic’s short, biting tale of doubles, told in two mirrored stories Doppelgänger consists of two stories that skillfully revisit the question of “doubles,” and how an individual is perpetually caught between their own beliefs and those imposed on them by society. “Arthur and Isabella” is a story of the relationship between two elderly people who meet on New Year’s Eve—a romantic encounter which turns into a grotesque portrayal of the loneliness of old age. The second story, “Pupi”—a strange mirror of the first—centers on the life of a man who ends up on the streets and associates only with street-sellers and the rhinoceroses in the zoo. Together these tales create the highly original atmosphere that Drndic is famous for in all her works. Daša Drndicis a distinguished Croatian novelist, playwright, and literary critic. She obtained a Master’s degree in Theatre and Communications from Southern Illinois University with the aid of a Fulbright scholarship. She is the author of 13 novels and was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2013 and the EBRD Literature Prize 2018. S.D. Curtis has translated a number of short works into English from Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbia. Among Celia Hawkesworth’s translations are two works by Dubravka Ugrešic; The Museum of Unconditional Surrender, short-listed for the Weidenfeld Prize for Literary Translation; and The Culture of Lies, winner of the Heldt Prize for Translation.

75 The Ardlamont Mystery The Real-Life Story Behind the Creation of Sherlock Holmes Daniel Smith The real-life mystery featuring the two men—Joseph Bell and Henry Littlejohn—who inspired the creation of Sherlock Holmes December 1893. Arthur Conan Doyle shocks his legions of fans by killing off the world’s favorite fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. Meanwhile, in Scotland, a sensational real-life murder trial is playing out. Alfred Monson, a scion of the aristocracy, is charged with killing a young army lieutenant, Cecil Hambrough, on the sprawling Ardlamont estate. The worlds of crime fiction and crime fact are about to collide spectacularly. Among the key prosecution witnesses were two esteemed Edinburgh doctors, Joseph Bell and Henry Littlejohn. Bell— Doyle’s tutor when the author studied medicine in the 1870s—had recently been unmasked as the inspiration behind the creation of Sherlock Holmes. But what the public did not know was that Bell and Littlejohn—a pioneer in the emerging field of forensic detection—had actually been investigating crimes together for more than 20 years. Littlejohn deserves equal billing as the prototype of Baker Street’s most famous resident. This book re-examines the evidence of the case that gripped Victorian Britain, putting forward his own theory as to why Cecil Ham- brough was murdered. Outlining the key roles of the men whose powers of deduction and detection had so inspired Doyle, Smith explores the real-world origins of Sherlock Holmes through the prism of a mystery as engrossing as any case the Great Detective ever tackled. Daniel Smith is the author of How to Think Like Einstein, How to Think Like Mandela, and How to Think Like Steve Jobs. He is also a long-time contributor to The Statesman’s Yearbook.

76 All That Glisters . . . And Other Quotations You Should Know Caroline Taggart Origins of the pithiest, wisest and most fascinating quotations we should all know Part of the pleasure of this book is to reveal the provenance of the well-worn quote (or mis- quote)—my cup runneth over, ay, there’s the rub, to err is human, the spice of life—but also to introduce some less familiar ones. Most of the quotations included are from classic sources—from the Bible, the works of Shakespeare, other poets, classical authors, Dickens (God bless us everyone, waiting for something to turn up, very humble), Charlotte Bronte (Reader, I married him) and George Bernard Shaw (who didn’t actually say Youth is wasted on the young, but may have said something like it. Somewhere. No one seems to know for sure). This entertaining and informed—but not too serious—take on the wit and wisdom of the last 2000 years is ideal for modern readers who like their knowledge in tweet-sized chunks. Caroline Taggart is the author of the bestselling I Used to Know That, as well as An Apple a Day, The Classics: All You Need to Know and My Grammar and I (or should that be “Me”?).

Never Eat Shredded Wheat Weird Ways to Remember Things James M. Russell A cornucopia of historical, well-known, and recent mnemonics The mnemonics that many of us learned as children are simply a shortcut to help locate information within your memory. For instance, rather than remember that the clockwise order of the points of the compass is North, East, South, West, we remember the mnemonic “Never Eat Shredded Wheat,” and the combination of humor and a visual reference provides an in- stant cue for our brains. This collection of mnemonics includes well-known examples, some of which have been in use for centuries, as well as more recent ones and alternatives to the traditional versions. In addition, there are sections on working out your own methods and systems to augment the existing mnemonics with your own aides-mémoire. James M. Russell is the author of A Brief Guide to Philosophical Classics.

From Amourette to Zal Bizarre and Beautiful Words from Europe Alex Rawlings A lighthearted look at the extraordinary words English needs For all the richness and nuance of the English language there are some words that other languages simply do better—whether it’s an insult that just hits the spot, a phrase that beautifully articulates a feeling, or a word that you didn’t know you even needed. From the funny to the sentimental to the downright bizarre this fascinating journey around Europe in 12 languages unearths the best untranslatable words that English is missing, celebrating our cultural similarities and differences along the way. Ever waited 15 minutes for a parking space only for someone to cut in front of you, smirking as they park up and stroll past? That idiot has a Backpfeifengesicht—a face badly in need of a slap. Or perhaps you yearn for silence— which never comes—because you’re hanging out with a pochemuchka—a person who asks too many questions. Alex Rawlings was crowned Britain’s most multilingual student in 2012 and is fluent in 11 languages. He has previously written How to Speak Any Language Fluently.

The Accidental Apostrophe . . . And Other Misadventures in Punctuation Caroline Taggart A gently humorous approach to punctuation that points out what really matters and what doesn’t Yes, punctuation does matter. And, contrary to what people who tear their hair out over apostrophes believe, it is there to help—to clarify meaning, to convey emphasis, to indicate that you are asking a question or quoting someone else’s words. It also comes in handy for telling your reader when to pause for breath. Caroline Taggart points out what matters and what doesn’t; why using six exclamation marks where one will do is perfectly OK in a text but will lose you points at school; why hang glider pilots in training really need a hyphen; and how throwing in the odd semicolon will impress your friends. Sometimes opinionated but never dogmatic, she is an ideal guide to the (perceived) minefield that is punctuation. Caroline Taggart is the author of I Used to Know That and An Apple a Day.

Craic Baby Dispatches from a Rising Language Darach Ó Séaghdha More Irish words and issues connected to the language, in the same style as Motherfoclóir What do we talk about when we talk about Irish? When we talk about saving or supporting a language do we mean the musical combination of syllables, or something more profound? How do new words enter a language, and what is the relationship between that strange dialect called Hiberno-English and its parent language? Craic Baby picks up exactly where Motherfoclóir left off and explores the very new and very old parts of the Irish language from a personal perspective.

80 Words That Make Pictures Creative Journalism in the Digital Age Peter Grayling Jackson A practical guide that demonstrates that the written word in journalism remains unchal- lenged in the digital age Journalism has never been more vibrant. Set free from the limitations of paper, the multime- dia journalist is a creator and packager of video, audio, graphics, and archive film, bringing to life exciting stories in a digital world. Yet the power of the written feature remains unchal- lenged, offering a bright career for the journalist who can capture mood and atmosphere, turn a memorable phrase and coin an evocative headline. In Words That Make Pictures, experienced journalist and editor Peter Grayling Jackson employs a unique hallmarking system of coding to identify the four basic elements of construction common to successful story-telling both online and on paper: V—Visuals; I—Information; S—Sounds; A—Action. Analyzing the work of more than 50 leading journalists, this practical guide demonstrates how the VISA elements can be most effectively deployed for the written feature to make it every bit as compelling as the multi-stranded offerings online. Peter Grayling Jackson has worked at every level of journalism, from local newspaper reporter to world-traveled feature writer. He has been editor of national titles including Drive, TV- Times, Sunday magazine, and Sunday Times Magazine, as well as launch publisher of ELLE in the UK and Managing Director of News International-Hachette. Peter is now chairman of Grayling Publishing Services, a magazine consultancy with an international clientele.

How to Negotiate #10 Christopher Copper-Ind Learn the psychology of negotiation in order to conduct it with greater ease and efficiency Negotiation is such a familiar part of our everyday lives we often fail to recognize it’s even happening, let alone identify the power battles and psychological warfare it entails. Daily life involves negotiation to such an extent that we’re largely unaware of it. Certainly few people stop to think about it at all, let alone as an all but essential life skill. In busy everyday lives, we seldom pause to reflect that negotiating is, in fact, a complex and strategic mind game between two competing, but mutually intertwined, goals. In How to Negotiate, Christopher Copper-Ind lifts the lid on the inner workings of all types of negotiations, from the mundane (“you pick the kids up from school and I’ll pick up the groceries”) to high-powered business deals. By understanding how the process works you’ll be able to bring enviable insight to your own negotiations going forward, giving you the confidence to steer through life’s choppy waters without losing your cool. Christopher Copper-Ind is publisher of International Investment, a financial news organization in London. He also writes tailored reports on Turkey and Iran for a Middle East consultancy. Before this he was editorial director of a media company in Istanbul covering the economies of the Middle East and Central Asia. From 2004 to 2010 Copper-Ind was a company director at the publishing house Stacey International. His business trips did not always go according to plan, however. Negotiating for a contract in Iran in 2009, he found himself briefly imprisoned on charges of espionage.

Handbook for a Positive Revolution The Five Success Principles for Personal and Global Change Edward de Bono Anyone can join the positive revolution—all you need is creativity Progress, maintains Edward de Bono—whether on a personal or global scale—depends on thinking and behavior that are positive and constructive. The world today is undergoing dramatic, often violent changes, and human behavior is frequently shaped by guilt and nega- tivity. To lift this dark cloud and create positive revolution, we need to rely more on humor, a key element in changing perception. In this inspiring book, Edward de Bono demonstrates clearly and simply how we can learn to think and interact constructively, efficiently, and with respect for core human values. In 1967 Edward de Bono invented the now commonly-used term “lateral thinking” and, for many people worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He is the author of Lateral Thinking, Six Thinking Hats, and Teach Your Child How to Think.

88 Hired Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain James Bloodworth “Bloodworth has done the hellish job of showing what it’s like to scrounge a living off gruesome work conditions, callous paymasters, and no job security. He writes with humanity and keen moral insight. Although his setting is Britain, his subject is the post-industrial service economy and what it does to ordinary men and women. Orwell and Sinclair would be proud.” —Michael Weiss, CNN journalist and author, ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror The shocking inside story of the gig economy, as endorsed by Bernie Sanders Cracking open the gig economy, journalist James Bloodworth spends six months undercover working the most grueling low-wage jobs. He lives on the meager proceeds and discovers the anxieties and hopes of those he encounters, including working-class men and women, young students striving to make ends meet, and Eastern European immigrants. From a harrowing Amazon warehouse to driving for Uber, Bloodworth uncovers horrifying employment practices and shows how traditional working-class communities have been decimated by the move to soulless service jobs with no security, advancement or satisfaction. But this is more than an exposé of unscrupulous employers; this is a gripping examination of a divided society which needs to understand the true reality of how other people live and work, before it can heal. James Bloodworth is the former editor of Left Foot Forward, one of the most influential left- wing websites in the UK. He is a fortnightly columnist for the International Business Times and regularly contributes to the Independent, Guardian, New Statesman, and Wall Street Journal. He has 15,000 followers on Twitter.

The Perils of Perception Why We’re Wrong About Nearly Everything Bobby Duffy “Mandatory reading. This mind-altering book show how most of us are badly deluded about the state of the world.” —Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author, The Better Angels of Our Nature A ground-breaking exploration of our ignorance—informed by several exclusive studies across over 40 countries Do you eat too much sugar? Is violence in the world increasing or decreasing? What propor- tion of your country are Muslim? What does it cost to raise a child? How much do we need to save for retirement? How much tax do the rich pay? When we estimate the answers to these fundamental questions that directly affect our lives, we tend to be vastly wrong, irre- spective of how educated we are. This landmark book—informed by more than 10 exclusive major polling studies by IPSOS across 40 countries—asks why in the age of the internet, where information should be more accessible than ever, we remain so poorly informed. Us- ing the latest research into the media, decision science, heuristics, and emotional reasoning, Bobby Duffy examines why the populations of some countries seem better informed than others, and how we can address our ignorance of key public data and trends. An essential read for anyone who wants to be smarter and better informed, this fascinating book will transform the way you engage with the world. Bobby Duffy is Managing Director of the Ipsos MORI Social Research Institute and Global Director of Ipsos Social Research Institute. He leads a team of around 200 researchers across the world.

89 Has the West Lost It? A Provocation Kishore Mahbubani “Mahbubani might well be the most intelligent, friendly and doggedly persistent critic of the West. In this brief book, he delivers some of his trademark analysis and pungent observations. We should all think of it as the cold shower that is urgently needed to revive the West.” —Fareed Zakaria, author, The Post-American World “Mahbubani offers a penetrating analysis of the West’s predicament. His optimistic view is a welcome antidote to so much prevailing wisdom. It deserves to be widely read and debated.” —Lawrence H. Summers, former Chief Economist of the World Bank A challenge to the West from an Eastern perspective: change your thinking and your diplomacy, or you will become irrelevant The West’s centuries-old status as the center of global wealth and power is coming to an end. As the new powers—China and India from Asia and others from Africa and Latin America— rise to the top of the world’s pecking order, how should the West react? Kishore Mahbubani argues passionately and provocatively that the West can no longer impose its power and ideals on the world at large, and—paradoxically—that only by admitting its decline can the West set itself up for strategic success in the long term. Mahbubani examines the myths and self-delusions of Western power with an outsider’s critical eye, and the shocking freshness of his geopolitical analysis will give all Westerners and political thinkers pause for thought.

The Language of Cities Deyan Sudjic The director of the Design Museum defines the greatest artifact 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. He studied architecture in Edinburgh and has worked as a critic for the Observer and 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.

90 Turmeric Nature’s Miracle Healer: Fact or Fiction? Penelope Ody An up-to-date guide to turmeric’s therapeutic properties, clarifying the validity of the numerous claims made for the herb Turmeric has been used medicinally in South Asia for over 4,000 years, and now its antiox- idant and anti-inflammatory properties are being examined to develop treatments for a host of illnesses, from diabetes and cancer to Parkinson’s and heart disease. Here Penelope Ody provides an encyclopedic history of turmeric and its therapeutic role. From its cultivation to its traditional use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to its centrality to the Asian diet (along with a wide range of recipes, as Ody is always aware that it is as a spice that most people will consume turmeric). Turmeric has been a traditional herbal remedy for centuries and this book investigates its suitability for 21st-century stresses, separating the hysteria about its benefits from a realistic evaluation into how it can help to improve every reader’s health. Penelope Ody is the author of The Holistical Herbal Directory, Chinese Medicine Bible, and The Complete Medicinal Herbal.

A Statin Nation Damaging Millions in a Brave New Post-health World Dr. Malcolm Kendrick A must-read for anyone who has been told they must take statins, by the author of The Great Cholesterol Con A well-known statin skeptic and author returns to the diet-heart cholesterol battlefield to warn that we are all being conned. The entire “cholesterol hypothesis” was described many years ago as “the greatest scam in the history of medicine” by one of the key players involved in setting up the hugely influential Framingham Study. Statins have been promoted for years as wonder drugs not only for heart disease, but for other conditions too. As heart disease and stroke are the second and third biggest killers in this country, this book is perfect for anyone concerned about their health—and anyone concerned about the power of the pharmaceutical industry, and its ability to conceal vital facts.

91 Quacks! Dodgy Doctors and Foolish Fads Throughout History S. D. Tucker A raucous history of medicine’s more bizarre attempts to understand and preserve the human body Are you suffering from a life-threatening illness? Do you possess chronic fatigue, sexual dysfunction, severe mental impairment, or have to endure constant, debilitating pain? If not, then you might do so after reading this book! Snake-oil salesmen, preying like vultures upon the hopes and fears of the sick and the dying, are nothing new. Until relatively recently, with the miraculous medical advances made during the 20th and 21st centuries, doctors killed many more patients than they ever cured—and it was no wonder when you consider some of the appalling quacks who have felt themselves qualified to place the letters M.D. after their name. This book tells the story of the strangest and most insane doctors, surgeons, and psychiatrists from throughout history, as well as the often cruel (and always absurd) diet-fads, treatment-regimes, and beliefs they unleashed out onto an unsuspecting world— proving once and for all that the one thing there really isn’t a cure for is human gullibility.

Forgotten Science Strange Ideas From the Scrapheap of History S. D. Tucker Explore some of the most extraordinary attempts in the history of science to understand the world around us Science has a reputation as the most logical and rational of human pastimes—but this has not always been the case. From the inventor Nikola Tesla, who fell in love with his favorite pigeon and tried to broadcast his own thoughts, to the wannabe chemist August Strindberg, who injected apples with drugs to see if they could get high, numerous scientists have conducted bizarre experiments down the centuries. Some of them were genuine geniuses; others were simply lone loons. History is littered with their wreckage, and this book tells the story of the very strangest. Proposing that science has become a kind of modern religion, and telling the tale of such noted pseudoscientific fads and fallacies as alchemy, spontaneous generation, and the doomed quest to raise the dead, Forgotten Science is sure to make you laugh at the same time as making you think. Science at school was never this weird. S. D. Tucker is an author and journalist.

Hasselblad & the Moon Landing Deborah Ireland A beautiful commemorative guide to mark the 50th anniversary of one of humankind’s most remarkable achievements On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people ever to set foot on the Moon, their iconic “small steps” captured forever by the camera the astronauts carried with them: the Hasselblad 500EL. This book looks at the history of the Apollo 11 mission through the lens of the Hasselblad, while narrating the parallel challenge to create a camera that could work on the Moon. It considers the cameras used, and the photographs captured, during the Space Race between Russia and America; looks at the experience of taking photographs on the Moon for the first time; and reflects on the legacy of those images, and their part in the enduring Moon Landing conspiracy theories. The second half of the book presents a commemorative album of photographs taken in space using the Hasselblad 500EL. While the Apollo 11 astronauts left their three cameras behind on the Moon, where they remain to this day, they brought back film magazines containing 1,400 photographs. A selection of the finest of these is shown alongside the mission timeline and transcripts of the conversations between the astronauts and mission control at Houston. Deborah Ireland has spent 19 years working in photography, including as assistant curator of the Royal Photographic Society’s archive and head of the AA World Travel picture library. Her published titles include Isabella Bird. Dr. Michael Pritchard is the Director-General of The Royal Photographic Society and a former photographic specialist at Christie’s in London.

Dynasties The Rise and Fall of Animal Families Stephen Moss A ground-breaking exploration of the rise and fall of animal families, accompanying the landmark series premiering on BBC America in early 2019 Family isn’t just important. It’s everything. From lions hunting as a pride to penguins hud- dling together to keep from freezing in the bitter Antarctic winter, many animals are dependent on complex social relationships for their survival. Powerful dynasties lay claim to vast swathes of territory, fighting off rivals and securing their hunting grounds for generations to come. Dynasties offers an immersive insight into the shifting hierarchies of animal families. Each chapter follows a different dynasty, from the Marsh Lions of the Masai Mara to rival packs of African hunting dogs, from a tiger protecting her newborn cubs to a chimpanzee troop and the penguin colonies of the Antarctic. Alongside tender moments when bonds are strengthened through grooming and play, the book charts the rivalries that tip the balance of power, when family members turn against each other and younger animals grow strong enough to challenge for control. With more than 200 stunning photographs and insights from the crew of the BBC series, Dynasties reveals in astonishing detail the intricate social lives of our planet’s most fascinating animals. Stephen Moss is a naturalist, broadcaster, television producer, and author. In a distinguished career at the BBC Natural History Unit his credits included Springwatch, Birds Britannia and The Nature of Britain. His books include The Bumper Book of Nature and Planet Earth II.

102 Landscape of Dreams The Gardens of Isabel & Julia Bannerman Second edition Isabel Bannerman and Julian Bannerman “The Bonnie and Clyde of garden design” celebrate the imaginative and practical process of designing, making and planting all of their works—with a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales Isabel and Julian Bannerman have been described as “mavericks in the grand manner, touched by genius” (Min Hogg, World of Interiors) and “the Bonnie and Clyde of garden design” (Ruth Guilding, The Bible of British Taste). Their approach to design, while rooted in history and the classical tradition, is fresh, eclectic and surprising. They designed the Brit- ish 9/11 Memorial Garden in New York and have also designed gardens for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove and the Castle of Mey, Lord Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk at Arundel Castle in Sussex and John Paul Getty II at Wormsley in Buckinghamshire. The garden they made for themselves at Hanham Court near Bath was acclaimed by Gardens Illustrated as the top garden of 2009, ahead of Sissinghurst. When they moved from Hanham it was to the fairytale castle of Trematon overlooking Plymouth Sound, where they have created yet another magical garden. Landscape of Dreams celebrates the imaginative and practical process of designing, making and planting all of these gardens, and many more. Isabel and Julian Bannerman have been designing gardens and garden buildings together since 1983. They have won awards and competitions such as the one to design the British Memorial Garden to 9/11 in New York; the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal and Christie’s Garden of the Year.

The Apprehensive Gardener Managing Garden Plants Griselda Kerr The comprehensive, easily navigated reference book that the author couldn’t find for herself—so she created it When Griselda Kerr set out to rescue the “dismal-looking” plants in her garden, she looked for a general guide book to help her—and failed to find one. Instead, she started to collect information wherever she could. After 20 years of gathering gardening knowledge, and testing it out in her garden, she has put together the book she wished she had access to then. This book is made for constant quick reference: look up the plant you want to know about in the first section of the book, which is an alphabetical list of plants within a chart of months and seasons. There will be a tick in any month where action is needed (action that, depending on the climate, might be done a month either side). Turning to the month in question, you will find a brief description of what is to be done. You might be advised to prune, clip, deadhead or divide, cut right down, feed or mulch. A section on gardening techniques provides sound instructions on all these activities and more. From time to time you might need more detailed information from a specialist book on, say, pruning. But here is where you begin! Griselda Kerr, who trained in horticulture and garden design at the English Gardening School, Broomfield College and Brooksby College, is a gardener, lecturer and columnist who describes herself as “always thinking about plants.” Her glorious garden at the Dower House, Melbourne, Derbyshire, is regularly open to the public.

Olivier explains how to capture the look, based on decades of experience. Mediterranean plants are diverse and adapted to a wide range of environments and weather conditions. They are of course ideally suited to regions which experience long periods of seasonal drought but many will also withstand periods of high rainfall and extreme cold making this essential reading for temperate-zone gardeners seeking the Med- iterranean look. Some understanding of plant ecology is essential for success and Filippi shares his expert knowledge acquired from decades of research. How a plant interacts with its environment, other plants, and other living things indicates what it needs to flourish in a garden setting. Filippi’s pioneering approach makes for a much closer relationship between gardener and nature that puts few demands on natural resources. Olivier Filippi is an internationally renowned nurseryman and ecologist who specializes in dry region plants. Over 25 years, his pioneering plant research has taken him all over the world (California, South Africa, Chile, Australia) and led to immense knowledge of mediterranean-region plants. His two earlier books, The Dry Garden Handbook and Planting Design for Dry Gardens have been enthusiastically received by North American dry region gardeners who find his plants and techniques well attuned to their conditions.

Nigel Dunnett on Planting How to Design High-Impact, Low-Input Gardens Nigel Dunnett A pioneering designer explains how he builds thriving plant communities with close ties to nature that provides interest year after year Nigel Dunnett’s gardens and landscapes have lifted the spirits of city dwellers for decades. They are beautiful, uplifting places that resonate with the energy of the natural world and stop us in our tracks. But how does he achieve these plantings with their successional waves of colorful perennials, elegant grasses, and pollinators at work with so few demands on irrigation and other natural resources? In this book he shares his inspiration, philosophy and working methods. He puts his own particular style of naturalistic planting in historical context, teaches us how to read wild plant communities and understand how they behave in garden situations. Finally he shares his plant selection, which includes trees and shrubs as well as perennial and annual meadow plants, and implementation techniques in a neat planting design toolkit. Nigel Dunnett’s beautiful, biodiverse landscapes and gardens have thrilled an international audience for decades. His woodland garden at Trentham Park in Yorkshire and in London his waterwise planting at the Barbican Centre and meadow planting at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park take naturalistic planting to a new level. His award-winning show gardens for Chelsea and Hampton Court flower shows that include green roofs, rainwater harvesting and ecological planting have received great acclaim. Nigel is ambassador of the Royal Hor- ticultural Society campaign “Greening Grey Britain”and Professor of Planting Design and Vegetative Ecology at Sheffield University.

104 The Wild Remedy 12 Months of Feeling Better in Nature Emma Mitchell A beautiful personal diary about the effect spending time in nature has upon depression, along with a look at the science behind that relationship Emma Mitchell has suffered with depression for 25 years. In 2003, she left the city and began to take walks in the countryside around her new home, photographing, collecting and drawing as she went. Each walk was as medicinal as any talking therapy or pharmaceutical. Emma’s moving and candid account of her year is a powerful testament to how reconnecting with nature may offer some answers to today’s mental health epidemic. While charting her own seasonal highs and lows, she also explains the science behind such changes, calling on new research into such areas as forest bathing and the ways in which our bodies and minds respond to wildlife. Filled with Emma’s beautiful drawings, paintings and photography, this is a truly unique book for anyone who has ever felt drawn to nature and wondered about its influence over us. Emma Mitchell is a naturalist, designer-maker, and the author of Making Winter.

105 When God was King Rebels & Radicals of the Civil War & Mayflower Generation Martyn Whittock A fascinating study of the ideas and actions of Christian political radicals and the kind of societies and life experiences that produced them Islam is not the only religion that has sought to take political power, or believed that it should be possible to create a theocracy. In the 17th century, Christians in the British Isles and North America attempted to follow the examples of 16th-century European radicals of contrasting types, while attempting to learn from their mistakes—first in Scotland, and then Cromwell tried to impose just such a rule in the rest of the country. At the same time, millenarian groups planned a religious, political and social revolution to usher in the return of Christ; while others argued for something akin to communism. And even after the Res- toration of the monarchy in 1660, there were sects, such as the Quakers, whose faith had a radical impact on their politics. Nor is Christian radicalism dead today—it has influenced politicians ever since. Martyn Whittock is the author or co-author of more than 40 books, including A Brief Guide to Celtic Myths and Christ: The First Two Thousand Years. He has taught history for 35 years, has been a consultant for the BBC, English Heritage and the National Trust, and has written for Medieval History magazine and archaeological journals.

Stained Glass Aidan McRae Thomson The perfect introduction to an often overlooked art form This new introduction to stained glass in Britain traces the story of this extraordinary art form from its beginnings, illustrating magnificent 12th-century windows from Canterbury Cathedral and elsewhere, before explaining the development of the stained glass windows through the medieval period, as new techniques were developed, and the art of storytelling in glass reached ever greater heights. During the 17th and 18th centuries techniques changed, with emphasis moving from stained to painted glass, and a new emphasis on non-religious subjects, but in the 19th century medieval techniques and subjects were revived, and these windows from the gothic revival period constitute the great majority of the British national collection of glass. The 20th century has seen a new flowering of stained glass, and at both old churches and new, modern glass is a striking and highly effective feature. Aidan McRae Thomson is an artist and restorer who has worked in stained glass for over 20 years.

History of the Cathars Third edition Sean Martin A concise, gripping history of the religious order Catharism was the most successful heresy of the Middle Ages. The Cathars taught that the world is evil and must be transcended through a simple life of prayer, work, fasting, and non-violence. They completely rejected the Catholic Church and all its trappings; Cathar services and ceremonies, by contrast, were held in fields, barns, and in people’s homes. Finding support from the nobility in the fractious political situation in southern France, the Cathars also found widespread popularity among peas- ants and artisans. And again unlike the Church, the Cathars respected women, and women played a major role in the movement. Alarmed at the success of Catharism, the Church founded the Inquisition and launched the Albigensian Crusade to exter- minate the heresy. While previous Crusades had been directed against Muslims in the Middle East, the Albigensian Crusade was the first Crusade to be directed against fellow Christians, and was also the first European genocide. With the fall of the Cathar fortress of Montsegur in 1244, Catharism was largely obliterated, although the faith survived into the early 14th century. Today, the mystique surrounding the Cathars is as strong as ever, and Sean Martin recounts their story and the myths associated with them in this lively and gripping book. Sean Martinis the author of The Knights Templar, The Gnostics, and Black Death.

The Vikings From Odin to Christ Martyn Whittock and Hannah Whittock The forgotten story of the “Christian Vikings” The popular image of the Vikings is of tall red-headed men, raping and pillaging their way around the coast of Europe, stopping only to ransack monasteries and burn longships. But the violent Vikings of the 8th century became the pious Christians of the 11th century, who gave gold crosses to Christian churches and in whose areas of rule pagan idols were destroyed and churches were built. So how did this radical transformation happen, and why? What difference did it make to the Vikings, and to those around them, and what is their legacy today? This book takes a global look at this key period in Viking history, exploring all the major areas of Viking settlement. Written to be an accessible and engaging overview for the general reader. Martyn Whittock and Hannah Whittock are coauthors of 1016 & 1066: Why the Vikings Caused the Norman Conquest, The Viking Blitzkrieg, and Tales of Valhalla.

The Magical History of Britain Martin Wall The first book to consider British history from a magical perspective, and how these arcane magical themes developed over time No island is more deeply steeped in ancient history than Britain. The megalithic monuments are mute testimony to the mysterious foundations of “British” culture, and the inhabitants’ knowledge of sophisticated mathematics, geodesy, and astronomy. The inspirational “reve- lation” of Alfred Watkins (the first person to promulgate the idea of “Ley Lines”), reminds us that British history is not just a matter of tradition, documentation, and archaeology—but evokes deep-seated connections with the land itself. This book charts the strange origins of these beliefs, and how, over millennia, they developed into an underpinning “national story” which came to legitimate British Imperialism, as well as providing a unifying identity in times of emergency which preserved the island against successive invaders, from the Romans to Nazi Germany. In 16 chapters the chronological evolution of the “magic” which lies behind conventional history is revealed. Martin Wall is the author of The Anglo-Saxon Age.

Arthur Warrior and King Don Carleton New research sheds light on the real life and identity of King Arthur In this book, the author’s researches into Arthur’s battles point to fascinating new conclu- sions about his life: King Arthur’s greatest battle, at Badon, was fought at Bristol, close to the site of the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. Guinevere was not Arthur’s wife but his mistress. Arthur was probably Irish and initially a warrior not a king. He fought on behalf of a named Irish king against whom he rebelled. Arthur was brain-damaged by the wars and died, unable to speak, on the Isle of Skye. Much of the history of the time was lost because of natural events around 540AD. But the warrior elite, of which Arthur was part, went on to rule what later became known as Wessex, the cradle of the English nation—for which King Arthur became a founding legend. Don Carleton has previously published histories of Bristol University and the Princes Theatre, Bristol.

King Cnut and the Viking Conquest of England W. B. Bartlett England’s Viking king and how he conquered England The Viking Conquest of England in 1016 saw two great warriors, the Danish prince Cnut and his equally ruthless English opponent King Edmund Ironside, fight an epic campaign that scarred much of England and ended with Cnut becoming the undisputed king of England. This book tells the extraordinary story of Cnut the Great’s life. Cnut was far removed from the archetypal pagan Viking, being a staunch protector of the Christian Church and a man who would also become Emperor of the North as king of Denmark and Norway. His wife, Emma of Normandy, was a remarkable woman who would outlive the two kings of England that she married. This saga also features the incompetent Æthelred the Unready, the ferocious Sweyn Forkbeard and the treacherous Eadric Streona, recreating one of the great stories of Dark Age England. W. B. Bartlett is the author of The Mongols and The Crusades.

The Norman Conquest William the Conqueror’s Subjugation of England Teresa Cole The origins, course and outcomes of William the Conqueror’s conquest of England 1051-1087 1066 saw three kings of England, the last of whom was William, Duke of Normandy. Tradi- tion tells us the conquest of England by the powerful Normans was inescapable, and suggests England benefited almost at once from closer links with Europe. But new discoveries have thrown doubt on these long accepted beliefs. The Battle of Hastings itself must be re-assessed, as must the whereabouts of the mortal remains of the defeated King Harold. Nine and a half centuries later it is appropriate to look again at the course and outcomes of the Norman Conquest of England, the genocide committed in northern England, the wholesale transfer of lands to Norman lords, and the Domesday Book designed to enable every last drop of riches to be extracted from a subdued kingdom. Teresa Cole is the author of Henry V: The Life of the Warrior King & the Battle of Agincourt 1415.

112 Silk and the Sword The Women of the Norman Conquest Sharon Bennett Connolly A study of the women who had major parts to play in the momentous year of 1066 Everyone knows about the events of 1066, the story of invasion and conquest. But what of the women? Harold II of England had been with Edith Swan-neck for 20 years but in 1066, in order to strengthen his hold on the throne, he married Ealdgyth, sister of two earls. Wil- liam of Normandy’s duchess, Matilda of Flanders had, supposedly, only agreed to marry the Duke after he’d pulled her pigtails and thrown her in the mud. Harald Hardrada had two wives—apparently at the same time. So, who were these women? What was their real story? And what happened to them after 1066? From Emma of Normandy, wife of both King Cnut and Aethelred II to Saint Margaret, a descendant of Alfred the Great himself, Silk and the Sword traces the fortunes of the women who had a significant role to play in the momentous events of 1066. Sharon Bennett Connolly is the author of Heroines of the Medieval Age.

Heroines of the Medieval World Sharon Bennett Connolly Women who dared to defy and lead in a world that demanded they follow This book looks at the lives of the women who broke the mold: those who defied social norms and made their own future, consequently changing lives, society and even the course of history. Some of the women are famous, such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was a duchess, Queen Consort of France, and Queen Consort of England, in addition to being a crusader and a rebel. Then there are obscure but no less remarkable figures such as Nicholaa de la Haye, who defended Lincoln Castle in the name of King John, and Maud de Braose, who spoke out against the same king’s excesses and whose death (or murder) was the inspiration for a clause in Magna Carta. Women had to walk a fine line in the Middle Ages, but many learned to survive—even flourish. Sharon Bennett Connolly is the author of the blog History . . . the Interesting Bits.

Plantagenet Queens & Consorts In the Shadow of Eleanor Steven Corvi The lives and political influence of 12 Plantagenet queens and consorts This book examines the lives and influence of 12 figures, comparing their different approaches to the manipulation and conservation of political power in what is always described as a man’s world. On the contrary, there is strong evidence to suggest that these women had more political impact than those who came after—with the exception of Elizabeth I—right up to the present day. Beginning with Eleanor of Provence, loyal spouse of Henry III, the author follows the thread of Queenship: Philippa of Hainault, Joan of Navarre, Katherine Valois, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne Neville, and others, to Henry VII’s Elizabeth of York. These are not marginal figures. Elizabeth was the daughter, sister, niece, wife, and mother of successive Kings of England. As can be seen from the names, several are ostensibly “outsiders” twice over, as female and foreign. With specially commissioned photographs of locations and close examination of primary sources. Dr. Steven Corvi is the author of Victoria’s Generals and has been an advisor and commen- tator for documentaries produced for The History Channel.

Henry III The Son of Magna Carta Matthew Lewis The tumultuous reign of Henry III, England’s forgotten king Henry III became King of England within days of his ninth birthday, inheriting a country embroiled in a bitter, entrenched war with itself. As he grew into adulthood, Henry had to manage the transition to a personal rule, wrenching power from men who had held it almost unchecked for years. Failures abroad led to trouble back in England as restless barons became disillusioned. They found a figurehead in Simon de Montfort, a man who would transform himself to a de facto king. Imprisoned and stripped of his power, Henry would again have to fight for his kingdom, relying on his immensely capable son. Henry’s reign would spell over half a century of highs and lows in a country crying out for stability; the final measure of Henry’s achievement displayed in the crown that he left to his son, Edward I. Matthew Lewis is the author of Richard, Duke of York and The Wars of the Roses.

Richard III Loyalty Binds Me Matthew Lewis A definitive new biography of one of British history’s most controversial figures King Richard III remains one of the most controversial figures in British history.

From a childhood of privilege, he would be cast into insecurity and exile only to become a royal prince, all before his 10th birthday. This book will seek out the man behind the myths, not look to create the monster of Shakespeare that has clung to the popular imagination for centuries, nor to become lost in admiration. Returning to primary sources and considering the issues of evidence available, this new life aims to present a real man living in difficult times.

Henry VII The Maligned Tudor King Terry Breverton The life of the king of England who founded the glittering Tudor royal dynasty. Henry Tudor, the future Henry VII, has been called the most unlikely King of England. Yet his rise from obscurity was foretold by the bards, and by 1485, the familial bloodbath of the Wars of the Roses left Henry as the sole adult Lancastrian claimant to the throne. The usurper Richard III wanted him dead, and in his exile Henry Tudor was left with no choice— either invade England or be traded to Richard to meet certain death. Henry’s father’s death at the beginning of the Wars of the Roses left Henry to grow up in almost constant danger. In 1485, his “ragtag” invading army at Bosworth faced overwhelming odds, but succeeded. Henry went on to become England’s wisest and greatest king, but it would be his son Henry VIII and granddaughter Elizabeth I who would take all the credit. Terry Breverton has presented documentaries on the Discovery Channel and the History Channel. His books include Jasper Tudor and The Tudor Cookbook.

114 Blood Roses The Houses of Lancaster and York Before the Wars of the Roses Kathryn Warner The first book to explore the rivalry between the Houses of York and Lancaster from 1245 right up to the Wars of the Roses In 1453, Richard, Duke of York, claimed the throne of England from his Lancastrian kins- man Henry VI, and set off a series of conflicts between rival branches of the English royal family, better known as the Wars of the Roses. Blood Roses traces the origins of this bitter rivalry all the way back to 1245 with the birth of the first Earl of Lancaster, Henry III’s younger son, Edmund. Thomas, the second Earl, was the first cousin and most dangerous enemy of King Edward II, and ended up being executed after a decade and half of rivalry and conflict. Thomas’s nephew Henry, the first Duke of Lancaster, was one of the great figures of the 14th century and was the father-in-law of Edward III’s third son John of Gaunt, probably the most famous member of the House of Lancaster. Edward III’s fourth son Edmund of Langley founded the House of York in 1385; his son Edward was killed at Agincourt in 1415 and was the uncle of Richard, duke of York. Blood Roses takes the reader through 170 years of bloody warfare and political intrigue, and sets the scene for one of the most famous conflicts in English history. Kathryn Warner is the author of Edward II: The Unconventional King and Isabella of France.

The Survival of the Princes in the Tower Murder, Mystery and Myth Matthew Lewis A timely reexamination of the fate of the Princes in the Tower, crucially asking: What if there was no murder? The murder of the Princes in the Tower is the most famous cold case in British history. Tra- ditionally considered victims of a ruthless uncle, there are other suspects too often and too easily discounted. There may be no definitive answer, but by delving into the context of their disappearance and the characters of the suspects, Matthew Lewis examines the motives and opportunities afresh as well as asking a crucial but often overlooked question: what if there was no murder? What if Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York survived their uncle’s reign and even that of their brother-in-law Henry VII? There are glimpses of their possible survival and compelling evidence to give weight to those glimpses, which is considered alongside the possibility of their deaths to provide a rounded and complete assessment of the most fascinating mystery in history.

John Morton Adversary of Richard III, Power Behind the Tudors Stuart Bradley One of the most unfairly neglected figured in English history, who served three kings, opposed Richard III and enabled the Tudor dynasty John Morton (c. 1420 - 1500) was one of the most important men in the land from the Wars of the Roses to the start of the Tudor dynasty. He served three kings as a councillor, Master of the Rolls, Lord Chancellor, bishop, Archbishop of Canterbury and Cardinal. His skill was a key factor in the establishment of the early Tudor state. No detailed biography on Morton has been produced since Victorian times.

116 The Countess The Scandalous Life of Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey Tim Clarke Leader of society, lover of the Prince Regent and contemporary of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, Frances Villiers had a reputation as a scandalous woman One of the great beauties of Georgian society, Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey, was a woman of enormous style and spirit whose life revolved around her pleasures. Clever and witty, her charm was legendary, earning her the nickname in the contemporary press of “The Enchantress.” However, she was also unprincipled and malevolent. After providing her husband with an heir, she duly abandoned the dull respectability of married life for the whirl of the faster set of society and a number of high-profile and scandalous affairs. Through her relationship with the Prince Regent, she enraged the country and threatened the monarchy. Despite being demonized by historians, this is the first biography ever written of her extraordinary life. Tim Clarke skillfully pieces together the truth about the Countess of Jersey, and dispels many of the assumptions that continue to surround her to this day, leaving us with a very intimate portrait of a life lived in defiance of social convention. Tim Clarke is a historian and a former lawyer.

Killing Napoleon The Plot to Blow Up Bonaparte Jonathan North The little known story of an early terrorist attack on Europe’s most powerful man Paris, Christmas Eve 1800. The fuse of an improvised bomb was lit, and the enormous ex- plosion wreaked havoc. The target for this early act of terrorism was Napoleon Bonaparte, who had seized power the year before and become the enemy of republicans and royalists alike. The terrorists belonged to the royal faction and although they failed to kill Napoleon, their atrocity hurled political violence in a new and terrifying direction: toward a now familiar place where civilian casualties would be collateral damage and where bombs in packed streets would be the new agents of terror. This book follows the extremists as they prepare their plans, then the security services as they hunt down the perpetrators, baffled by the nov- elty of terrorism. Using first-hand accounts, trial transcripts and archival material, and with the drama of a detective story, Killing Napoleon recounts one of the great crimes of its era, a story still largely unknown in the English-speaking world, that was a powerful precursor to the terrorist threats we know today. Jonathan North is the author of Napoleon’s Army in Russia and The Napoleon Options.

My Dearest, Dearest Albert Queen Victoria’s Life Through Her Letters and Journals Karen Dolby Letters and diary excerpts show the very human face of Queen Victoria Photographs of Queen Victoria most often show a plump Empress wearing widow’s black: serious and regal. In reality, the character of Alexandrina Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and latterly in her long reign, Empress of India, is rather different. In private, Victoria had a reputation for being fun-loving and entertaining. Victoria kept a daily journal from the age of 13, which by the time of her death ran to 122 volumes. She reveals herself to be emotional and honest about her own feelings and experiences, as well as her opinions of other people. This book shows Victoria at her most human, whether enthusing over her hobbies and interests, delighting in her children and grandchildren, commenting on the 10 different Prime Ministers who served during her reign, or sharing her love for her husband— her dearest, dearest Albert. Karen Dolby is the author of The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II.

An Audience with Queen Victoria The Royal Opinion on 30 Famous Victorians Ian Lloyd The monarch’s personal opinions and feelings on the highest-profile figures of the day, from Florence Nightingale to Abraham Lincoln to Oscar Wilde During her 63-year reign Queen Victoria met everyone from Charlotte Brontë to Buffalo Bill; she had opinions on all those who graced her parlor—and some who didn’t. This book examines the meetings and letters exchanged between the queen and a veritable who’s who of her time. It draws on often brutal character assessments in her journals and letters—Henry “Dr. Livingstone I presume” Stanley was “a determined ugly little Man.” Exploring those she met officially and personally, and her thoughts on figures of the time such as Jack the Ripper, this book unlocks a fascinating aspect of Victoria’s outlook through brand-new archival research, newspapers and interviews with descendants. Ian Lloyd has spent 20 years as a writer and photographer specializing in the British Royal Family. He is the Royal Correspondent for the Sunday Post and a regular royal pundit on Sky News and BBC News.

Coleman The farcical-yet-true story of the 12-year stand-off between the British and the Ameri- cans, with a pig as the only casualty With a plot to grace any comic opera, the 1859-1872 “Pig War” broke out when an Amer- ican living on a quietly disputed island in the Gulf of Georgia shot a British pig. The nearby Vancouver Island authorities and the military leadership of the Washington Territory both wanted to escalate the trivial incident into a full-blown war between the US and Great Brit- ain. The hot-heads decided that the problem should become one of the earliest examples of international arbitration. The German Kaiser was brought in. The Pig War is a highly read- able account of a little-known episode in Anglo-American history. E. C. Coleman is a retired Royal Navy officer who led four expeditions to the Arctic.

The Soldier Who Came Back Alan Clark and Steve Foster The audacious true story of a daringly audacious escape attempt during World War II Northern Poland, 1940: at the Nazi war camp Stalag XX-A, two men struck up an unlikely friendship which led to one of the most remarkable wartime escape stories ever told. Ant- ony Coulthard was the privately educated son of wealthy parents with a degree in modern languages from Oxford. Fred Foster, the son of a bricklayer, had left school at 14. This mismatched young pair hatched a plan to disguise themselves and simply walk out of the camp, board a train, and head straight into the heart of Nazi Germany. This audacious plan involved 18 months of undercover work, including Antony spending 3 hours each evening teaching Fred German. They set off for the Swiss border via Germany, but when they reached the border town of Lake Constance, with Switzerland within their reach, Antony crossed over into freedom, while Fred’s luck ran out. What happened to them both next is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Alan Clark is the author of Rory’s Boys. Steve Foster joined the Royal Navy in 1966, and was promoted to Commander in 1997.

119 Omaha Beach 6 June 1944 The D-Day Landing Robert J. Parker An introductory illustrated history and guide to the infamous Omaha beach D-Day landing Immortalized for a new generation in the graphic opening sequences of Saving Private Ryan, “Bloody” Omaha Beach was almost an epic failure.

Only at Omaha Beach did the long anticipated Operation Overlord, and the re-entry of the Allied armies into France, threaten to fail in its execution. Reviewing the preparation and planning by the various Allied assault groups designated for Omaha Beach, Robert Parker provides a lively and composite description of one of the greatest and most important military endeavors in all of world history. Robert J. Parker has been a schoolteacher for over 30 years. He combines his passion for the history of World War I and World War II with frequent travel to the battlefield sites.

D-Day The British Beach Landings John Sadler How British soldiers took Sword and Gold beaches on D-Day D-Day began on the night of June 5-6 1944, and would prove to be the most pivotal battle of World War II. At 07.00 hours on the 6th, Britain’s First Corps and XXX Corps came ashore on Sword and Gold beaches, to withering fire from the Nazis forces. Within the initial and critical couple of hours some 30,000 soldiers, 300 guns and 700 armored vehicles were land- ed, and, though the sands were soon choked with the mother of all logjams, exacerbated by a swelling tide, the British were firmly lodged; a bridgehead had been secured, albeit rather flimsy at this juncture. This is the story of the British soldiers’ experience of the beach landings on that fateful morning—the spearhead of D-Day invasion—and the deadliest. John Sadler is the author of Flodden 1513 and Scottish Battles.

120 Prosper Major Suttill’s French Resistance Network Francis J. Suttill The worst French Resistance disaster of World War II, told in its entirety for the first time In June 1943, SOE’s Prosper resistance circuit in France led by Major Francis Suttill suddenly collapsed. Was it deliberately betrayed by the British as part of a deception plan to make the Germans think an invasion was imminent? Was it betrayed by MI6 out of jealousy? Did Churchill meet Suttill and mislead him? These are some of the stories that have developed since the war as survivors and others struggled to explain the sudden collapse of this circuit, the biggest in France at the time. Here, Major Suttill’s son traces what happened, resulting in one of the most detailed records of the organization and work of a resistance circuit. The story that emerges shows the risks faced by those involved and what their bravery enabled them to achieve. Francis J. Suttill wrote the Special Operations Executive’s “Prosper Disaster” of 1943 with Prof M.R.D. Foot, Intelligence, and National Security.

Moscow Rules Secret Police, Spies, Sleepers, Assassins Douglas Boyd Studying the KGB’s equally ruthless “daughter” organizations during the Cold War After the guns fell silent in May 1945, Stalin installed secret police services in the satel- lite countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Trained by his NKVD—a predecessor of the KGB—officers of the Polish UB, the Czech StB, the Hungarian AVO, Romania’s Securitate, Bulgaria’s KDS, Albania’s Sigurimi, and the Stasi of the German Democratic Republic ruth- lessly repressed their fellow citizens. These state terror organizations were also designed for espionage in the West, to conceal the real case officers in Moscow. Specially trained opera- tives undertook “wet jobs,” including assassination of anti-Soviet figures. Perhaps the most menacing were the sleepers who settled in the West.

The Defeat of the Luftwaffe The Eastern Front 1941-45, A Strategy for Disaster Jonathan Trigg The story of how Germany’s Luftwaffe went from being the most powerful air force in the world to its utter defeat on the Eastern Front In 1939 and 1940, the Nazi blitzkrieg crushed Poland and the Low Countries and France. This was a new type of warfare, with air and ground forces sweeping away all resistance. In the air its symbol was the all-conquering Luftwaffe. When Hitler looked further east in 1941, the Luftwaffe spearheaded the largest invasion in world history, destroying thousands of Red Air Force planes. Yet less than four years later that same Red Air Force flew unopposed over Hitler’s burning Reich Chancellery. Using original research, this book explains how the Nazi Luftwaffe’s victory in the east was transformed into ashes through incompetence, misjudge- ment, and hubris. Jonathan Trigg served as an infantry officer in the Royal Anglian Regiment. He now has his own business training the long-term unemployed to get them into work. His previous books include Hitler’s Vikings.

Fire and Ice The Nazis’ Scorched Earth Campaign in Norway Vincent Hunt The first assessment of the human consequences of the scorched earth devastation in Norway When Hitler ordered the north of Nazi-occupied Norway to be destroyed in a scorched earth retreat in 1944, everything of potential use to the Soviet enemy was destroyed. Fifty thousand people were forcibly evacuated—thousands more fled to hide in caves in sub-zero tempera- tures. The author crossed northern Norway gathering scorched earth stories: of refugees starving on remote islands, fathers shot dead just days before the war ended, towns burned to the ground. With extracts from the Nuremberg trials of the generals who devastated northern Norway and modern reflections on the mental scars that have passed down generations, this is a journey into the heart of a brutal conflict set in a landscape of intense natural beauty. Vincent Hunt is a journalist and documentary maker who has won many awards in a 25 year career with the BBC and has worked across America, Europe, and Africa.

Defying Vichy Blood, Fear and French Resistance Robert Pike A timely reappraisal of the actions and motivations of the French Resistance July 1940 saw the collaborationist Vichy regime replace the French Republic after the country suffered heavily at the hands of the German onslaught during World War II. A small number of people sought to make a stand in whatever way they could, despite fear and mortal danger. From railway workers and couriers to guerrilla fighters and foreign agents, each played their part in destabilizing Marshal Pétain’s poisonous regime. This book casts new light on the Resistance, using unique first-person accounts and newly translated archival records to highlight how ordinary people refused, protested, fought, and ultimately became heroes of the Resistance. Robert Pike has revisited survivors of the Resistance who he first talked to 20 years ago. He has drawn on oral and written testimonies, official Vichy police archives and a vast array of secondary evidence written by historians.

122 To the Kwai—and Back War Drawings 1939–1945 Ronald Searle A definitive artistic account of World War II as experienced by a British soldier in a POW in the Far East In 1939, as an art student, Ronald Searle volunteered for the army, embarking for Singapore in 1941. Within a month of his arrival he became a prisoner of the Japanese, and after 14 months in a POW camp, was sent north to a work camp on the Burma Railway. In May 1944, he was sent to the notorious Changi Gaol in Singapore, becaming one of the few British soldiers to survive imprisonment there. Throughout his captivity he made drawings to record his experiences, which he smuggled from place to place, stained with the sweat and dirt of his captivity. A record of one man’s war, they are among the most important and moving accounts of World War II. Ronald Searle delighted millions with his comic creation of St Trinians, and has been a distinguished contributor to numerous magazines around the world, from The New Yorker to Le Monde.

Craig A new study of the most infamous spy of World War I Mata Hari is revealed here in all of her flawed eccentricity; a woman whose adult life was a fantastical web of lies, half-truths and magnetic sexuality that captivated men. Following the death of a young son and a bitter divorce, Mata Hari reinvented herself as an exotic dancer in Paris, then 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, ending in her execution in October 1917. Recruited by both the Germans and the French as a spy, Mata Hari— codenamed H-21—was also almost recruited by the Russians. But the harmless fantasies and lies she had told on stage had became deadly during wartime. Mary W. Craig is a historian specializing in the history of central Europe between 1848 and 1933, and a community archivist.

Australia’s First Spies The Remarkable Story of Australia’s Intelligence Operations, 1901-45 John Fahey The first systematic account of early 20th century Australian intelligence operations Although Australian politicians always spoke publicly of loyalty to Britain and the empire, in secret they immediately set about protecting Australia’s interests from the Germans, the Japanese—and Britain itself. John Fahey knows how the security services disguise their activities within government files. He has compiled the first account of Australia’s intelligence operations from Federation to the end of World War II. This book shows Australia has been a far savvier operator in international affairs than much of the historical record suggests, and it offers a glimpse into the secret history of the nation. Dr. John Fahey worked at Defence Signals Directorate (1988-1996) and served in the British and Australian armies between 1975 and 2014.

US Air Force Bases in the UK Paul Bingley A revealing, well illustrated look American airbases in Britain in the post-war era When Winston Churchill delivered his famous Iron Curtain speech in 1946, he mentioned two words that have since passed into common Anglo-American terminology—special relationship. Churchill was referring to the links between the United Kingdom and the United States—ties which were cemented by a concerted military effort during World War II. By VE Day, more than 70 airfields in East Anglia alone had been used by the US Air Force’s predecessor, the US Army Air Forces. Today, just a handful of those airfields remain in active service. But they continue to bind the two countries together. This book examines the history and ongoing work of these long-term airfields, as well as detailing the many others which survived World War II, but not the passage of time. Paul Bingley has worked in the aviation industry for more than 30 years and is responsible for leasing the world’s heaviest aircraft, the AN-225. He has written a number of features for national and international publications and is also the chairman of a museum dedicated to preserving the legacy of a US Army Air Forces’ heavy bomber base at Ridgewell in Essex.

Locomotives of the Eastern United States Christopher Esposito A trip through some of the most iconic locations on the railways of the eastern United States The eastern United States offers some of the best scenery in the country, and some of the most demanding for the railways. They must traverse treacherous mountain grades, making each trip a challenge to the crew and the equipment. Since the early days of rail transport, the railways have used the latest steam and diesel locomotives to move freight and passengers over this terrain. The trains of today move an incredible amount of tonnage across this terrain and the modern motive power in use is up to the task. Contemporary engines built by EMD and GE with up to 4000 hp per-unit are used to haul unit coal, intermodal, and general freight across these routes. Focusing primarily on the Norfolk Southern railway, photographer Christopher Esposito looks at these great modern machines as they navigate through some of the most iconic locations on the railways of the eastern United States. Christopher Esposito enjoys traveling to different locations around the Eastern U.S. to pho- tograph the scenery and trains. He lives in Charlotte, NC.

124 The Story of Crossrail Christian Wolmar The story of an engineering marvel of the modern age, from Britain’s leading writer on the railways and their history At the end of 2018, London’s biggest engineering project came to fruition. For the first time, trains run through the tunnels built under central London between Paddington and Liverpool Street. Driving through a subterranean world of rock and mud; employing digital technology at the extreme cutting edge; and realizing a vision of east-west metropolitan access conceived in the era of Attlee and Churchill—Crossrail is an engineering marvel of the 21st century. Here Christian Wolmar tells its amazing story. Engaging with both historical and social per- spectives, he outlines the postwar history of the idea of a trans-London east-west railway line, the proposals of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the passing of the Crossrail Act of 2008, and the lengthy and complex engineering processes that brought the new line into being. Christian Wolmar is a writer and broadcaster on transport matters and the author of The Great Railroad Revolution.

The World the Railways Made Nicholas Faith Introduction by Christian Wolmar How the “Iron Road” turned the world upside down Across American prairies, through Siberian tundra, over Argentinian pampas and deep into the heart of Africa, the modern world began with the arrival of the railway. The shock was sudden and universal: railways carried empire, capitalism and industrialization to every corner of the planet. For some, the “Iron Road” symbolized the brute horrors of modernity; for others the way toward a brighter future. Nicholas Faith presents an engaging and entertaining journey through the first century of rail, introducing visionaries, engineers, surveyors, speculators, financiers and navvies—the heroes and the rogues of the mechanical revolution that turned the world upside down. The railway was the most important invention of the 19th century, and this book argues that in the 21st century, it remains just as relevant. Nicholas Faith is an author and journalist whose books include The Bronfmans: The Rise and Fall of the House of Seagram. Christian Wolmar is Britain’s leading railway historian and the author of The Great Railroad Revolution.

Windrush A Ship Through Time Paul Arnott The extraordinary life and times of a unique vessel For three decades the Windrush was the maritime Zelig of the 20th century. Designed in 1930 in the Hamburg boatyard of a Jewish shipbuilder to ferry Germans to a new life in South America, it wasn’t long before Goebbels requisitioned her. She became a Nazi troop carrier, a support vessel for the pocket battleship Tirpitz, and a prison ship transporting Jews to Auschwitz. Captured by the British in 1945 and renamed the SS Empire Windrush, she then spent years evacuating displaced service people and, in her famous single voyage from the Caribbean, she brought the first wave of black migrants to Britain. This vivid biography combines the memories of people who were there with a gripping account of an extraordinary merchant ship at the end of empires.

126 Masters of the Italian Line Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raffaello Ian Sebire The iconic ships of the Italian Line and the people who brought them to life The 1960s witnessed a magnificent, if misguided, swansong for the ocean liner. As the decade progressed a steady succession of elaborate new “ships of state” populated the world’s sea lanes, in futile defiance of the vapor trails above them. Into this atmosphere of one-upman- ship the Italian Line introduced Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raffaello, the largest, fastest and most prestigious passenger liners in the nation’s post-war merchant marine. This book explains their design origins and interior décor, relates the triumph and tragedy of their all too brief careers, and provides insight into what it was like to live, work and take passage on these vessels. Ian Sebire is a regular contributor to Shipping Today and Yesterday magazine. His paintings have been sold worldwide and displayed on board Cunard Line vessels.

The Crusader and Corsair Martyn Chorlton A lavishly illustrated celebration of two icons of the air, the Vought F-8 Crusader and A-7 Corsair II The Vought F-8 Crusader was a classic post-war aircraft; loved by its pilots, this big machine was nicknamed “The Last of the Gunfighters” because of its primary armament of four 20 mm Colt cannons. The F-8 entered service with the US Navy in 1957 and remained as one of its front line fighters until 1976, having served with distinction during the Vietnam War. Reconnaissance versions served on until 1987, while it was the French Navy who doggedly held onto their F-8s until the arrival of the Rafale in 2000. The A-7 Corsair II came about as a replacement for another US Navy aircraft, the A-4 Skyhawk, and in an effort to cut down on research and development costs, the new light attack aircraft used the same components as the F-8. Much shorter than its older sibling, the A-7 entered service in 1967 and was immediately pressed into service alongside the F-8 in Vietnam with both the US Navy and later with the USAF. Retired by ANG in 1991, the A-7 remained operational until 2014 with the Greek Air Force. Martyn Chorlton is an ex-RAF photographer and editor of Military Modelling magazine.

The Libyan army officer who authored a new work of political philosophy,The Green Book, and lived with a harem of female soldiers, running his country like a mafia family business. And behind these stories of fantastic violence and excess lie the dark secrets of Western greed and complicity, the insatiable taste for chocolate, oil, diamonds, and gold that have encouraged dictators to rule with an iron hand, keeping their people in dire poverty.

Katanga 1960-63 Mercenaries, Spies and the African Nation that Waged War on the World Christopher Othen The first full account of an African secession that introduced the modern mercenary— and killed the head of the United Nations Katanga 1960-63 tells, for the first time, the full story of the Congolese province that declared independence and found itself at war with the world. The Congo had no intention of allowing the renegade region to secede, and neither did the CIA, the KGB, or the UN. The UN fielded soldiers from 20 nations, America paid the bills, and the Soviets intrigued behind the scenes. Yet to everyone’s surprise the new nation’s rag-tag army of local gendarmes, jungle tribesmen, and, controversially, European mercenaries, refused to give in. For two and a half years Katanga, the scrawniest underdog ever to fight a war, held off the world with guerrilla warfare, two-faced diplomacy, and some shady financial backing. Christopher Othen is a journalist, legal representative for asylum seekers, and English language teacher. He is the author of Franco’s International Brigades.

128 North Korea in 100 Facts Ruth Ann Monti A fascinating picture of one of the world’s poorest but most high-profile countries Ruth Ann Monti teases out the facts about this dictatorship to provide an illuminating insight into a society that might just as well be in outer space for most in the West. Modern North Korea is based on an ideology Kim Il Sung developed and named Juche. According to North Korea’s official website, Juche means that “the masters of the revolution and construction are the masses of the people and that they are also the motive force of the revolution and construction.” But what this means in practice is that everything is designed to venerate Kim Il Sung and his heirs; even school math problems (“if x = Kim’s anti-Japanese fighters and y = the number of Japanese killed,” etc.). Virtually all music, stories, and artwork reflect Kim’s life and teachings. High school students complete an 81-hour course on Kim Jong Un. Only a select few men are allowed to shave part of their hair a la Kim. The 100 facts don’t all make grim reading: in 1912 North Korean archaeologists discovered a unicorn lair! Ruth Ann Monti is the author of Donald Trump in 100 Facts. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Baltic Story A Thousand-Year History of Its Lands, Sea and Peoples Caroline Boggis-Rolfe The shared history of the countries around the Baltic, from the events of 1,000 years ago to the present day Focusing on key events and episodes, this book shows the ties of blood and commerce that have bound the different lands that lie today in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Western Russia, Belarus, and Eastern Germany. This story encompasses the foundation, rise and fall of some of Europe’s greatest dynasties and cities, including St. Petersberg, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Warsaw and Berlin. From the growth of monarchical power and the rise of autocracy, it then looks at the period of the Enlightenment, in particular at the achievements of Frederick II of Prussia and Catherine II. It considers the problems facing Poland’s last king and the events that ended with the country’s collapse. And it shows how new Enlightenment thinking influenced Denmark and Sweden, and rocked the monarchies. It shows the threat of Napoloeon’s France to the Baltic and the impact of both World War I and the Russian Revolution, which led to the re-shaping and establishing of states. Caroline Boggis-Rolfe is a writer and lecturer. She regularly visits the Baltic as a guest lecturer.

129 Hillary’s Antarctica Nigel Watson and Jane Ussher The exciting story of Hillary’s crossing of and time spent in Antarctica Beautifully illustrated with Jane Ussher’s photographs of the hut restoration in Antarctica, plus historic images and never-before-seen ephemera and diary entries, this is a treasure. Sir Edmund and New Zealand were supposed to be a support act to the British Commonwealth Antarctic crossing party. By heading on to the South Pole and reaching it before the crossing party, Hillary exceeded the brief. His actions created tensions, unleashed a media storm, and denied the British a historic first overland to the South Pole since Captain Scott. Hillary even had the audacity to achieve the feat with three farm tractors. Nevertheless, in doing so, Sir Ed Hillary added another fascinating chapter to the exploration annals of Antarctica and he, and his expedition team, laid the foundations for New Zealand’s continuous, and increasingly important, presence in Antarctica. Nigel Watson is the Executive Director of Antarctic Heritage Trust. The Trust cares, among other heritage sites, for the expedition bases left by Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton in Antarctica. He has led, or participated in, expeditions to Antarctica annually over that time. Jane Ussher is one of New Zealand’s foremost portrait photographers, best known for the impressive body of work she developed during 29 years as chief photographer at the New Zealand Listener.

The Crossing Sir Vivian Fuchs, Sir Edmund Hillary and the Trans-Antarctic Expedition 1953–58 John Knight The definitive account of Sir Edmund Hillary’s Trans-Antarctic Expedition, completed 70 years ago The Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1953-58, organized by Sir Vivian Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary, was one of the most successful exploits ever undertaken in Antarctica, but it has been largely forgotten for years. This is the first book to tell the complete story, and is illustrated with photographs from the Royal Geographical Society, with the permission of the wife of expedition photographer George Lowe. Sir Ernest Shackleton had tried unsuccessful- ly to cross the Antarctic in 1914, he and his men escaping by the skin of their teeth. So the new post-war expedition was a brave attempt to conquer the vast frozen continent. Planning had to be done at each end of the world, in the UK and New Zealand, and members of the expedition were drawn from all around the Commonwealth. This account shows how the expedition was organized, from the scientific insight it relied on, to the voyage to Antarctica and transport across the vast ice desert. Their survival at times was touch and go, and con- troversies arose amid the pressure of the journey. This book not only provides a technical insight into a groundbreaking venture but touches on the human aspects of the challenge. John Knight trained as a mechanical engineer at Cambridge University and first traveled to Spitsbergen as a student, which sparked a lifelong interest in the Arctic and polar regions.

The Times Train Tracks 200 Challenging Visual Logic Puzzles The Times Mind Games This challenging visual puzzle will appeal to lovers of logic and deduction brain teasers. How To Play: A map grid shows two towns, typically A and B. The objective of the puzzle is to lay down tracks to connect the two towns. Numbers around the outside of the grid tell you how many pieces of track are to be placed in each row and column. You can only use straight (horizontal and vertical) and curved (right and left) rails and the track cannot cross over itself. There is something very satisfying in the laying down of tracks. The puzzles are arranged with varying levels of difficulty, where difficulty is largely dependent on the size of the map grid (from 6x6 to 10x10). Puzzles included cover three levels of difficulty: 70 Easy, 70 Moderate, and 60 Difficult. The Times Mind Games brings together the very best puzzles from the pages of The Times.

144 Danger Music Eddie Ayres “Eddie Ayres writes with forthrightness and compassion in this timely, powerfully-told tale.” —Age A remarkable memoir about the power of music and the courage to be oneself Eddie Ayres has a lifetime of musical experience, from learning the viola as a child in En- gland and playing with the Hong Kong Philharmonic for many years, to learning the cello in his 30s and landing in Australia to present an extremely successful Australian morning radio show. But all of this time Eddie was Emma Ayres. In 2014 Emma was spiraling into a deep depression, driven by anguish about her gender. She quit the radio, traveled, and decided on a surprising path to salvation—teaching music in a war zone. Emma applied for a position at Dr. Sarmast’s renowned Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, teaching cello to orphans and street kids. In Danger Music, Eddie takes us through the bombs and chaos of Kabul, into the lives of the Afghan children who are transported by Bach, Abba, Bee- thoven, and their own exhilarating Afghan music. Alongside these epic experiences, Emma determines to take the final steps to secure her own peace; she becomes the man always there inside—Eddie. Eddie Ayres accepted a position teaching cello, viola, and double bass to Afghanistan’s children in 2016 at the world-renowned Afghanistan National Institute of Music. Amid the chaos and unpredictability of life in war-savaged Kabul, Emma realized she had to accept her future and returned to Australia to begin transitioning from female to male. In 2016, Emma became Eddie.

145 Woman of Substances A Journey into Drugs, Alcohol and Treatment Jenny Valentish “Woman of Substances will resonate with women readers who have never really questioned the role that patriarchy has played in their drinking habits.” —Vice Drawing together neuroscientific research and memoir, a journalist explores the gendered experience of drug and alcohol addiction Journalist Jenny Valentish takes a gendered look at drugs and alcohol, using her own story to light the way. Mining the expertise of 35 leading researchers, clinicians and psychiatrists, she explores the early predictors of addictive behavior, such as trauma, temperament, and impulsivity. Drawing on neuroscience, she explains why other self-destructive behaviors— such as eating disorders, compulsive buying, and high-risk sex—are interchangeable with problematic substance use. From her suburban childhood to her chaotic formative years in the London music scene, we follow her journey to Australia, where she experiences firsthand treatment facilities and AA groups, and reflects whether or not they are meeting the needs of women. Woman of Substances is an insightful, rigorous, and brutally honest read. Jenny Valentish is a journalist and author. She is a consultant for Australia’s National Drug & Alcohol Research Centre, ambassador for Monash University’s Brain & Mental Health Laboratory, and board member of SMART Recovery Australia.

X and Why The Rules of Attraction: Why Gender Still Matters Tom Whipple “This witty, racily-written book will ruffle some feathers. Some feathers need to be ruffled. Whipple does it with panache and style.” —Richard Dawkins The story of where biology meets behavior—how sex drives us, and informs so many of the key choices we make in life Gender is shifting. But is gender disappearing? In the last century it was argued that men are from Mars and women are from Venus—but things have moved on a long way since then. In this timely new approach to the debate, Tom Whipple travels far and wide—from a Home Counties swingers’ party to a gay penguin sanctuary in Germany—and draws on the latest studies in behavioral science as well as fascinating explorations into anthropology to present a surprising tale of expectations and mismatches. If you are currently single, this book is about your place in the dating market—your successes, your failures, and what they mean. If you are in a relationship, it is about why you chose the person you are with, why they chose you—and the circumstances in which either of you might put it all at risk and stray. In X and Why, Tom Whipple delves into the sexual subconscious to explain the inner workings of character and desire. It will change the way you see yourself and everyone around you. Tom Whipple is the award-winning science editor of the London Times and the author of How to Win Games and Beat People.

Bourdieu A Critical Introduction Tony Schirato and Mary Roberts A systematic account of the French philosopher’s full body of work Throughout his career, French philosopher Pierre Bourdieu sought to interrogate what he described as the “social unconscious,” the means by which power is held and transmitted across generations. Bourdieu’s work has been hugely influential across the social sciences and humanities for decades, yet this book argues that few scholars are using his work to its full potential. Drawing on recently released lectures, this is a systematic account of Bourdieu’s full body of work, from his early research in Algiers to his last lectures in Paris, showing how Bourdieu he continued to develop his concepts of habitus, field, capital, power and socio-cultural reproduction well into his later years. It also offers a nuanced reading of Bourdieu’s thinking about education, class, language, knowledge and culture. Tony Schirato is Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Macau. He is the co-author of Understanding Bourdieu. Mary Roberts is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Macau.

The Palaeoartist’s Handbook Recreating Prehistoric Animals in Art Mark Witton A guide to paleoartistry that outlines how fossil animals and environments can be reconstructed from their fossilized remains Extinct worlds live again in paleoart: artworks of fossil animals, plants, and environments carefully reconstructed from paleontological and geological data. Such artworks are widespread in popular culture, appearing in documentaries, museums, books, and magazines, and inspiring depictions of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals in cinema. This book outlines how fossil animals and environments can be reconstructed from their fossils, explaining how paleoartists overcome gaps in fossil data and predict “soft-tissue” anatomies no longer present around fossil bones. It goes on to show how science and art can meet to produce compelling, interesting takes on ancient worlds, and explores the goals and limitations of this popular but rarely discussed art genre. Mark Witton is a paleontological artist, author, and researcher whose clients include the Natural History Museum, the BBC, and National Geographic.

The Transfer Market The Inside Stories Alan Gernon Learn what exactly goes on during soccer player transfers and what these moves mean for the sport Almost as much is written in the soccer media about transfers as about the game itself. Re- cords are smashed and billions spent each transfer window, but how does the transfer market work? How does a transfer come together? How do you become an agent, and what do they actually do? And what are the effects of a move on the main stakeholders? For years, transfer gossip columns have been Alan Gernon’s guilty pleasure. Now, he explores how many of these rumors are accurate, planted by agents, or simply made up—and how easy is it to plant a transfer story in the media. Along the way, he discovers how the market works and how a transfer happens; what a move actually means for a typical player in a world where you could buy over 160,000 League Two players for the price of Neymar; and that almost 30% of transferred players worldwide are moved between clubs against their wishes. He also uncovers how to become a soccer agent overnight, and why British players are reluctant to move abroad. He speaks to players about the pressures and real-life effects of a move, and tries to figure out how much the stars of yesteryear would be worth in today’s crazy transfer market—where Premier League clubs spent a record £1.4 billion in the summer of 2017 alone. Alan Gernon is the author of Retired: What Happens to Footballers When the Game’s Up, which was nominated for the eir Sports Book of the Year. Alan has written about soccer for the Telegraph, Irish Post, and iNews, and has contributed to The Keys & Gray Show, The Anfield Wrap, and RTE’s Monday Night Soccer.

156 Wayne Rooney Always a Blue Ian Macleay The personal story of England’s second most capped soccer player in history Wayne Rooney, England’s record goal scorer, is one of the most feared and respected strikers to have graced the Premier League in the last decade. He is certainly its most famous icon, appearing on the front pages of the newspapers nearly as often as on the back. Wayne started his glittering career as a teenage wonder at Everton, the club he had staunchly supported as a boy. A self-confessed and fiercely passionate blue-blood, Rooney was raised in Croxteth, a product of the rough district just outside the shadow of Goodison Park. After a white-hot start, the teenager joined regional rivals, Manchester United, in a seismic transfer and, in his deeply successful time at Old Trafford, won sixteen major honors, played in three World Cups, married his childhood sweetheart, and began a young family, throwing off his reputation as the gifted “wild-child” of English football. Yet, in the summer of 2017, the prodigal son returned to his first club, providing Evertonians with a sense of pride and football fans everywhere with a classic narrative. His warm reception made it clear that Rooney still has a special place in the hearts of Toffees fans, and the saga embodies the pride and passion that has propelled the Premier League to become the most exciting—and profitable—in the world. Told by veteran football writer Ian MacLeay, this is the definitive story of Rooney’s explosive, emotive, and turbulent return to Everton Football Club, and the historic season which followed. Ian Macleay is the author of eight soccer books, including Carlos Tevez, Cole Play, and Malcolm McLaren.

Lionel Messi and the Art of Living Andy West A bold, insightful study of one soccer player—and a thoughtful examination of lessons that can be implemented in our own lives Lionel Messi and the Art of Living is a bold and insightful examination of a world-famous sporting hero’s career from an entirely new perspective, providing a context extending far beyond the soccer field. The idea that sports stars are role models is a cliché, but it is also true in a way that is rarely appreciated. Although the details of Messi’s story are already well known, The Art of Living examines afresh and anew his highs and lows, his successes and failures, his ongoing evolution and his endless struggle to succeed. It encourages us to consider, to analyze, and—above all—to think about Messi’s career from a different viewpoint, understanding how his journey can be related to our own lives on a meaningful and impact- ful level. Containing exclusive, illuminating interviews with deep thinkers and high achievers from a number of different fields, this book delivers a fresh and inspiring approach to a global icon, ensuring that you will never look at Lionel Messi—or life—in the same way again. Andy West has been writing professionally about soccer for 20 years, working in a number of different roles for the likes of Reading FC, Manchester City and the Football Association. Since 2012 he has been covering Spanish football for a variety of international media outlets, such as BBC Sport.

Jack the Ripper The Definitive Casebook Richard Whittington-Egan The definitive work on Jack the Ripper and the various theories For more than 100 years, police and Ripperologists have tried in vain to put a name to the faceless silent killer. In 1975, Richard Whittington-Egan published A Casebook on Jack the Ripper, now eagerly sought but long out of print and only obtainable at mammoth prices, in which he documented the history, the crimes, the investigations, the investigators, and added his new discoveries. Now, in a completely revised and very considerably enlarged edition of the 1975 Casebook, he has taken a new look, from a longer perspective, at the theories and the personages who advanced them, from the time of the murders up to the present day. Richard Whittington-Egan spent 30 years as a journalist and has been pursuing the study of Jack the Ripper for longer than anyone else alive. He has reviewed books for the Times, New York Times, and London Evening Standard among others.

The A-Z of Victorian Crime Neil R. A. Bell, Trevor N. Bond, Kate Clarke, and M.W. Oldridge A unique reference for true crime readers Few things are more evocative of Victorian Britain than its criminals; they are vital ingredients in any Victorian melodrama. The truth, however, was often stranger, more thrilling and more horrifying than fiction. In this book, four eminent crime historians reveal the realities of this aspect of Victorian life, illuminating not just the criminals and their victims, but also the policemen, forensic scientists and others who rubbed shoulders with the 19th-century underworld. Notorious crimes—the Road Hill Murder, the Balham Mystery and Jack the Ripper—stand alongside long-forgotten, neglected cases; the most shocking and terrifying cases appear next to everyday horrors. Neil R. A. Bell has been published extensively in journals such as Ripperologist and Case- book Examiner. Trevor Bond spoke at the Jack the Ripper conferences in 2009, 2012, and 2014. Kate Clarke is the author of Bad Companions. M.W. Oldridge is the author of Murder and Crime: Whitechapel and District.
