“The pictures alone are worth the price of admission.” —Publishers Weekly on Lost New York “Beautifully illustrated in aged black-and-white photos and burnished with charming prose based on many years of research.” —Library Journal on Lost New York “Meticulously researched. . . . Images of buildings that no longer exist illuminate a side of Baltimore no contemporary visitor to the city could see, as does the lore recounted by the authors.” —Publishers Weekly on Lost Baltimore This historical series celebrates the cherished places in a city that time, progress, and fashion have swept aside. In loving detail, it looks back at many of the things that have helped create a city’s unique identity and have since disappeared—the streetcars, the shops, the parks, the churches, the amusement parks, even the annual parades. In one city-centric collection, it brings together the architectural gems that failed to be preserved, the hotels that could not be adapted and fell to the wrecking ball, and the novelty buildings.

It was a hardscrabble life for the early settlers, but first King Cotton brought wealth to the local economy and then the Lucas Gusher at the Spindletop oilfield made Houston the capital of the American oil and gas business. The old Texas State Cap- itol was demolished and replaced by the old Rice Hotel, which was then replaced by the 1913 Rice Hotel that stands today. Baseball has been played at Buffalo Stadium, Colt Stadium, and the “EighthWonder” the Astrodome before settling at MinuteMaid Park. The Astros’ ballpark occupies the space once occupied by Union Station’s platforms and the Houston-to-Dallas Texas Rocket train, both lost to time and progress. Sites include: Camp Logan, Carnegie Colored Library, Houston Chronicle Building, Original Texas State Capitol, Old City Hall, Moorish Federal Building, Felix Mexican Restaurant, Grand Central Station, Trailblazer Monorail, Houston Light Guard Armoury, Metropolitan Theatre, Mag- nolia Brewery, Streetcars on Heights Boulevard, Shamrock Hotel, NFL and NBL at the Astrodome, Houston Municipal Air Terminal, and the Sam Houston Coliseum. William Dylan Powell lives in Texas and is a member of the Writers’ League of Texas and the Texas State Historical As- sociation. He is the author of Austin Then and Now, Houston Then and Now, and Texas Then and Now 9781910496756 • November Lost Denver Amy Zimmer Astonishing images of vanished Denver, from old hotels and movie houses to streetcars to sports stadiums There has been much change in Denver since the first settlers built a small town on the south side of Cherry Creek and named it Auraria. Streetcar suburbs emerged and were annexed into the city of Denver; skyscrapers rose and were replaced by even bigger skyscrapers. The streetcars disappeared. Denver’s baseball team, the Bears, played out of Broadway Park, then Bears Stadium, which became Mile High Stadium and then a parking lot for Sports Authority Field. The city has lost many of its grand Victorian buildings. The grand Richardsonian Romanesque Denver Club is gone, along with the Tabor Block and Tabor Opera House. The theater district on Curtis Street has been transformed, while the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) has targeted whole districts for wholesale change. Lost Denver looks at the many aspects of the city that have disappeared—the old hotels and movie houses, the civic buildings no longer fit for purpose, the old bridges, cemeteries, and parks that have been changed out of all recognition. Amy Zimmer is a historian and writer specializing in Denver’s historic architecture. She sits on the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission and has won several awards for her work in historic preservation. Her previous books include Denver’s Capitol Hill Neighborhood and Denver’s Historic Homes. She lives in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood. 9781910496596 • October 1 THEN AND NOW

Brooklyn: Then and Now® Marcia Reiss Illustrated with historic photos—many taken well over a century ago— and matching, full-color contemporary scenes, this book provides a visual chronicle of one of America’s most intriguing places Brooklyn possesses a rich history and culture. The Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Dodgers, and Coney Island are icons as well known as Manhattan’s skyline. Home to more than two million people, the borough—one of five that comprise New York City—has had many faces over the course of its fascinating history. Just across the East River from Manhattan, Brooklyn is an 81-one-square-mile peninsula that also borders New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. In 1834, Brooklyn became a city in its own right and in the second half of the 19th century, a major center of industry. Its green coastline sprouted tall ships, towering grain terminals, glass and porcelain factories, and massive sugar and oil refineries—some of the largest in the world. Thousands of immigrants poured into the city to work in the factories and refineries. Fueled by shipbuilding and industrial growth, Brooklyn became the nation’s third most populous city by the time of the Civil War. It built civic and cultural showpieces, a stately city hall and art museum, and the 526-acre Prospect Park, which rivaled Manhattan’s Central Park. But, Brooklyn’s city status did not last the century. In 1898, despite fierce opposition from their political leaders, local residents voted by a slim margin to give up their independence and join the great consolidation of boroughs that formed New York City. The new borough maintained its own identity, however, its residents taking pride in calling themselves “Brooklynites,” a special breed of New Yorkers. Descendants of 19th-century immigrants keep up the ethnic traditions that have characterized Brooklyn neighborhoods for generations. Brooklyn Then and Now illustrates this vibrant, ever changing borough’s transformations. Marcia Reiss, the author of eight books about New York City history and architecture, has a long association with Brook- lyn. She is the author of New York Then and Now, Central Park Then and Now, Lost New York, and Lost Brooklyn. 9781910496572 (Replaces 9781571457929)

Indianapolis: Then and Now® Nelson Price Black-and-white images from the city’s glorious past are showcased alongside eye-catching contemporary photographs of how the scene looks today The development of Indianapolis has taken more unexpected turns than a driver at its world-famous Speedway. Roaring to life after a rather inauspicious start, Indi- anapolis became known as the “Crossroads of America” during the early 1900s, with a bustling Union Station train terminal as well as a flourishing literary and artistic scene of nationally renowned poets, painters, and playwrights. Mansions were built along the showplace thoroughfare of North Meridian Street, pharmaceutical and automobile industries employed thousands, and jazz music was played into the night. Teenagers at Shortridge High School produced the nation’s first high school daily newspaper, and many went on to become novelists and politicians, including Booth Tarkington and Richard Lugar. The Hoosier capital occasionally veered off track; from the 1950s to the 1970s it was referred to as “Naptown” and “India-NO-place.” Indianapolis has picked up speed since the 1990s and is once again a vibrant city, warmly nicknamed “Indy,” with a spectacularly rejuvenated downtown. Residents have taken extraordinary care to preserve the best of the past, and have supported the development of new sports stadiums and retail outlets. Indianapolis Then and Now features historic places such as the Indiana State- house, the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, Lockerbie Square, and the Federal Building, as well as modern areas of interest such as the Monon Trail and Circle Centre, all showing the mixture of preservation and change in this historic city. Nelson Price is an author, journalist, and historian. His books include Indiana Legends: Famous Hoosiers from Johnny Appleseed to David Letterman and Legendary Hoosiers. A fifth-generation Hoosier, he was a feature writer and columnist for the Indianapolis Star for many years. He lives in a historic neighborhood in downtown Indianapolis. 9781910496589 (Replaces 9781592232086)

2 THEN AND NOW

Savannah: Then and Now® Polly Cooper and Ted Eldridge Exquisite archival images are paired with the same views as they look today The early settlers of Savannah built their houses around a geo- metric street plan on a bluff above the Savannah River. They were aided by the Yamacraw tribe and their aged chief, To- mochichi, who became firm friends with Savannah’s founder, Englishman James Oglethorpe, and both their names are commemorated across the city. Oglethorpe’s vision for “open-space squares surrounded by the rhythmic placement of streets” would later earn Savannah the prestigious status of becoming a National Historic Landmark. Savannah boomed as the cotton trade expanded in the South, and by the mid-19th century the city was thriving as it exported cotton bales to Europe and acted as a staging post for travelers. During the Civil War, in 1864, Savannah was surrendered to General William T. Sherman following his March to the Sea, which began in Atlanta and ended in Savannah. Thankfully, General Sherman spared Savannah the torch, and the elegant Georgian residences were saved. Howev- er, it took a group of resolute Savannah ladies to preserve some of the best architecture in the city in the 1950s, as many historic buildings were scheduled for demolition. Their hard work and enterprise has helped preserve the city’s architectural heritage. The book features images of some of the sites referenced in John Berendt’s influential book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil such as Mercer House, Armstrong House, Bonaventure Cemetery, and the Telfair Academy, along with architectural gems such as the Cotton Exchange, Davenport House, and the Green-Meldrim House—historic buildings that make Savannah a cherished city. Polly Cooper has authored and coauthored several books on her home town of Savannah, including The Visitor’s Guide to Savannah, Tybee Days: One Hundred Years on Georgia’s Playground Island, and Sand Between Our Toes: The Tybee Island Family Photo Album. She now lives near the Skidaway River on the Isle of Hope. Ted Eldridge is a licensed Savan- nah tour guide. He lives in Savannah, Georgia.

4 Weak Messages Create Bad Situations A Manifesto David Shrigley Artist David Shrigley, author of What the Hell Are You Do- ing?, presents his subversive and surreal take on the confusing messages that inundate our daily lives

“David Shrigley is probably the funniest gallery-type artist who ever lived.” —Dave Eggers “With a casual gesture Shrigley points to that hideous shape whose name I’ve never known-and then he names it. . . . I’m laughing while frantically searching for a pen, so desperate to capture the feeling he has unearthed in me.” —Miranda July on What the Hell Are You Doing? “This year’s best gift book, for a crazy person you really, really like. . . . It’s a funny, sick, morally stimulating mind-bend- er, the best bathroom book of the new decade.” —New York Times Lots of individuals in society today are feeble-minded. They don’t know what the HELL is going on. Unfortunately many of these people are responsible for running THE COUNTRY. Their ideas are MEANINGLESS, illustrated using RUBBISH imagery (often made by a computer). The stupid words they write are always in BAD FONTS. Yet still people HEED this nonsense. Maybe YOU are one of these people? It’s alright. I am here to HELP you. I have a FULLY-COMPOSED WORLD VIEW. I have STRONG opinions about EVERYTHING. And my ideas are HAND-ILLUS- TRATED and use REAL HANDWRITING that you can trust. I know exactly what’s going on and am WILLING to share my thoughts with you. If you LISTEN to what I say then things will quickly improve. David Shrigley has been exhibited at the Tate Modern in London, at the MoMA in New York City, and in Paris, Berlin, Melbourne, and beyond. He has published more than 20 books, including Ants Have Sex in Your Beer, How Are You Feeling?, and What the Hell Are You Doing? and has animated a music video for Blur and produced another for Bonnie “Prince” Billy.

6 Inking the Borders of Heaven and Hell The Art of Ramon Maiden Ramon Maiden Introduction by Allan Graves The first book of Ramon Maiden’s considerable body of work Dandy delinquent, artist and wanderlust king, Ramon Maiden has acquired a dedicated following on both sides of the Atlantic for creating that rare thing—a totally original, recognizable aesthetic derived from the traditions of tattoo. Working with old religious prints and magazines, Ramon usurps them with startling inkings which add a whole new dimension to images which might otherwise have been consigned to extinction. Madonnas with serpent tattoos, photos of male torsos in vintage medical books overlain with mystical imagery, and 1930s pinups smiling sweetly yet inked with dragons and daggers, all suggest another, very contemporary, dimension. Maiden is being increasingly fêted, with recent solo shows in New York City and London. Ramon Maiden lives in Barcelona and New York City. Allan Graves is a London-based tattooist whose skin art career has seen him embellish bodies in San Francis- co, Los Angeles, Ibiza, Berlin, Barcelona, and London. He is the owner of and leading artist at London’s famous Haunted Tattoos. His other books include Be- yond Tattoo, New Blood Tattoo, The Pinup Project, and The Zombook.

13 Alexander McQueen Redefining Beauty Michael O’Neill Magnificently illustrated with some of McQueen’s most riveting designs, this book illuminates the struggles of a man who dared to defy accepted fashion norms and give the world a new sense of grandeur From conflicted gay teenager and aggressive and remote young man, through to his lonely suicide, this book charts Alexander McQueen’s ascent to couturier par excellence, highlighting his spectacular shows and showing how his confrontational, streetwise manner was simply a shield that protected and masked a very shy, sensitive, and insecure man who hailed from the wrong side of the high fashion tracks. McQueen’s talent is now globally acknowledged to have been unmatched in contemporary haute couture, and this book distills from the lavish sweep of his colors, designs, fabrics, and forward-driving concepts the essence of a man on a quest for beauty and his own contentment. In casting the spotlight on the stark contrast between catwalk glamour and his upbringing and personal demons, the book shows how his talent both nourished and destroyed him. It takes us from the vicious glare of the walkway where he was fêted by the wealthy and famous as an innovative artist to behind the glamour. There, defiance delineated a life that was hurled into inescapable depression by the deaths, first of his great friend and supporter Isabella Blow and then by his mother. Michael O’Neill has written scripts for, produced, and narrated historical documentaries, which have been shown on the Discovery Channel and the History Channel.

Portraits in Fashion: Norman Parkinson Robin Muir This examination of an unrivaled 20th-century photographic portfolio is filled with original color photographs and black-and-white prints from Parkinson’s own archives From his first outdoor fashion shoot in 1935, Norman Parkinson’s “moving pictures taken with a still camera” brought glamor and inventiveness to fashion photography. He set the New Look against the New York skyline, Quant dresses in swinging London, and Calvin Klein and Krizia in exotic locations from Tahiti to Tobago. “If a girl looks like a model, she is not for my lens,” said “Parks.” He wanted energy and individuality, and found it in “top girls” like Wenda, the willowy actress he married in 1947, Celia Hammond, Jerry Hall, Iman, and Appollonia van Ravenstein. Parkinson’s long association with Vogue, and his assignments for Harper’s Bazaar, Queen, and other international magazines, brought him fame and recognition. In return he gave the fashion world ineffable style and unforgettable images. Robin Muir is a curator and writer on photography. He has mounted several collections of fashion photography drawn from the archives of Vogue, for which he worked as a picture editor. He is the author of A Maverick Eye: The Street Photography of John Deakin and Unseen Vogue: The Secret History of Fashion Photography.

16 Kimchi Essential Recipes of the Italian Kitchen Byung-Hi Lim and Byung-Soon Lim An essential cookbook for anyone who wants to explore the classic flavors of the Korean kitchen It is not possible to imagine Korea without kimchi. For thousands of years the lacto-fermented vegetables have been an absolute necessity at meals. In Korea, kimchi is so much more than food—it is a national cultural treasure, a valued health food, and a part of the Kore- an identity. Koreans are obsessed with good food, and the Lim family is no exception. For two generations, they have retained the proud tradition of kimchi at the Arirang Resturant in Stockholm. This book contains the family’s most popular recipes—common, as well as rarer, kimchi recipes, Korean everyday food, and the ever recurring bi-bim-bap (which literally means “mixed rice”). The Lim family present their version of a classic with lettuce, cabbage, chili, and ginger, but also the popular radish kimchi, kattugi, as well as the more unusual varieties with pumpkin, oysters, mushrooms, roots, and other vegetables. Sourish, hot, and tasty, kimchi is a wonderful accessory for most meals, not only Asian-style dishes but every imaginable Western dish. Here are “insider” tips on how to go about fer- menting vegetables at home. Considering it is so incredibly simple, the result is amazing, beautiful, tasty, and healthy, thanks to the built-in riches of good bacteria cultures found in vegetables. Byung-Hi Lim and Byung-Soon Lim are sisters and together with their mother, Boo Mee Ja Lim, and aunt Im Kee Sun, they run the Arirang Restaurant in Stockholm. The Arirang opened back in 1975 and was the first restaurant of its kind in Scandinavia. The ambition at the restaurant is to prepare everyday Korean food at its best. Their previous cookbook was Korean Food. Cooking • 144 Pages • 7.5 x 8.5 • 100 Color Photos 9781909815858 • November • $24.95 (Can $29.95) Cloth • Rights: US & Canada • Pavilion

Dee’s French pilgrimage winds through magnificent and changing landscapes: from Burgundy’s vine-covered slopes to the gastronomic capital of Lyon; up onto the vast windswept meadows of the Aubrac pla- teau; along the dramatic Lot river; through the gentle hills of Gascony and, finally, to the trout-filled rivers of the Pyrenees.

26 A Food Lover’s Pilgrimage Along the Camino to Santiago de Compostela Food, Wine and Walking through Southern France and the North of Spain Dee Nolan One woman travels the route taken by pilgrims for hundreds of years in her car, journeying across the land so well-loved by food lovers today A constant on my camino was the powerful sensation of a message across time, a guiding hand reaching out to me from those who had passed this way before. A thousand-year-old pilgrimage route and food traditions stretching back de toda la vida—since forever. These are what Dee Nolan set out to experience on her pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela—through the rich farming lands of southern France and northern Spain. The monks of the Middle Ages who came here planted grapevines from their homelands far away. Now food lovers come seeking the magnificent wines made using grapes grown in those same ancient vineyards, along with sublime cooking and fresh, luscious produce. Dee’s personal journey along the Way of St James—el camino de Santiago—took her back to the very heart of things: why we should care about what we eat and how it is produced, why we need escape, and why she found herself, after a long career in publishing, back on her grandfather’s farm, connecting with the soil. This joyful book tells the story of Dee’s camino, of the pilgrimage itself, and of the traditions that sustain us all. Following the route of those first pilgrims, Dee met wise cooks and farmers who are finding that the future lies in the past. And she realized why, in our secular age, we are so captivated by this medieval Christian pilgrimage. Recipes include metric measurements. Dee Nolan, an award-winning journalist and editor, has worked for leading newspapers and magazines in London and New York City.

38 The Kitchen Orchard Fridge Foraging and Simple Feasts Natalia Conroy An enchanting look at the myriad ways to use the ingredients found in the “orchard” of one’s own kitchen

“This enchanting collection of recipes full of delicious flavors and aromas will make you want to cook.” —Claudia Roden, author, The Food of Spain Every modern kitchen features a fridge and a pantry. The bare essentials. But for Natalia Conroy, they are an orchard—the source of abundant meals, platefuls of fresh salads, or slow-cooked vegetables—it just requires a little imagination. Natalia’s cooking draws inspiration from seasonal produce, which she combines with essential everyday ingredients—a little cream, fresh herbs, good stock, a head of garlic, leftover cheese or wine—so that nothing goes to waste. She matches dishes to occasions, time constraints, or even mood, relishing the endless possibilities on offer with a thoughtfully stocked fridge and pantry. With more than 100 recipes grouped around the dairy compartment (storing eggs, milk, cream, and wine), the vegetable drawer (housing root vegetable and robust herbs), and the top drawer (garlic, onions, lemons, and fresh seasonal herbs), Natalia takes one hero ingredient and builds the dish around a core flavor. Dill lifts a salad of beetroot and mustard. Fresh rosemary flavors a soup of white bean and ham hock, and another of pumpkin and smoked pork. Plain carrots are transformed into both a carrot, mint, and lemon salad and a fluffy carrot and walnut cake Natalia’s cooking celebrates simply, affordable food, cooked really well—celebrating taste, aroma, and the joy of eating and sharing. Recipes include metric measurements. Natalia Conroy trained as a chef at the River Café, under Ruth Rogers, Joseph Trivelli, and Sian Wyn Owen. The River Café is known for notable for training such chefs as Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Sam and Sam Clark of Moro, April Bloom- field of the Spotted Pig, and Jessica Boncutter of Bar Jules.

47 Heirloom Vegetables A Guide to Their History and Varieties Simon Rickard A lively introduction and guide to the weird and wonderful world of heirloom vegetables, with tips on how to grow them—and how doing so will help save the planet How often do you hear someone complain that tomatoes don’t taste like they used to? It’s becoming a common concern, as food production is increasingly controlled by multinational corporations more interested in profit than flavor. People who care about their food are growing their own vegetables in droves— and especially heirlooms for their wonderfully diverse flavors, shapes, and colors. Not to mention their rich history and weird and wonderful names—who could resist a lettuce called “Drunk- en Woman Frizzy Headed,” not be intrigued by the potato that “Makes the Daughter-in-Law Cry,” or fail to be moved by the “Cherokee Trail of Tears” bean? In this lively, passionate, and at times political introduction to the world of heirloom vegetables, gardener Simon Rickard describes the history of many of his favorite varieties, encourages you to get growing yourself, and explains why he believes edible gardening is so important to our future, and the future of the planet. Simon Rickard has been head gardener at several historical gardens in Australia. He is now a writer and leads tours to beautiful gardens around the world.

52 The New Kitchen Garden How to Grow Some of What You Eat No Matter Where You Live Mark Diacono A practical, how-to gardening book that uses the kitchen as its inspiration for what you grow in your garden, whether that be a windowsill, a vegetable patch, or an acre

“Mark’s writing style is conversational and engaging, he’s deeply knowledgeable, yet he’s low-key and modest. He’s ‘can-do’ and accessible without ever being patronizing.” —English Garden Look over the fences into the gardens, patios, and courtyards behind, and you’ll see a quiet revolution taking place. Amongst the lawns, the roses, and the concrete, more and more of us are growing at least some of what we eat. A kitchen garden can be anything from a collection of pots to a small farm—it all depends on where you live and what space you have to create your own edible plot. The New Kitchen Garden doesn’t begin with the usual plan of an allotment quartered into beds awaiting their rotation—it starts by asking what you need from your garden. What follows is a series of invitations—fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, flowers, and vegetables to grow and eat. Everything is here—the tools, the techniques, the ideas, and the knowledge—to enable you to realize that vision of your own kitchen garden. Mark captures the spirit of adventure and imagination of those growing food in the 21st century. He takes ideas from gardens around the world, including that of his own home, Otter Farm in Devon, with its unique blend of orchards, vineyards, forest gardens, edible hedges, perennial garden, and vegetable patch. Inspired by a range of gardeners growing food on allotments, on rooftops, in container gardens, and in other edible spaces, many of them urban, Mark shows you the full exciting breadth of what a kitchen garden can be. Whether you have a few pots of chillies or a community farm, whether you wish to plant in ordered rows or create an edible jungle, The New Kitchen Garden is for you. Mark Diacono runs Otter Farm, a climate change farm, and is head gardener at River Cottage where he grows the fruit and vegetables for the cooking school, runs the courses, and leads their continuing drive for sustainability. He is the author of The River Cottage Fruit Handbook; A Taste of the Unexpected, which won Food Book of the Year at the Guild of Food Writers Awards 2011; and River Cottage Veg Patch Handbook, which won Practical Book of the Year at the Garden Media Awards 2009.

James Wong’s Homegrown Revolution James Wong Get excited about home gardening with James Wong’s guide to growing plants you’ll be happy to eat Whether it’s a window box of homegrown saffron, your very own kiwi vine or a mini green tea plantation on your patio, TV botanist and bestselling author James Wong proves that “growing your own” can be so much more exciting than spuds, sprouts, and swede.

You’ll never look at your garden the same way again! James Wong is a Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew-trained botanist; a lecturer; and the author of Grow Your Own Drugs.

54 Paradise and Plenty A Rothschild Family Garden Mary Keen Introduction by Gregory Long, President, New York Botanical Garden Offering access to a hitherto completely private family garden, this book features seven magnificent gatefolds, ribbon markers, head and tail bands, making it a gift to treasure for all garden lovers The productive garden at Lord Rothschild’s private house, Eythrope in Buckinghamshire, England, is legendary in the garden world for the excellence of the gardening and as a haven for traditional techniques that might otherwise be lost. Under the leadership of the renowned head gardener Sue Dickinson, this garden works on a scale that is now unique, producing, year- round, all the fruit, vegetables, and flowers for a country house where entertaining still happens on a grand scale and where everything is done to the highest standards. Paradise and Plenty, an in-depth exploration of the garden, opens a window on a garden that has always, until now, been kept intensely private, and a world beyond most gardeners’ dreams. But in this book everything shown is useful as well as beautiful. Gregory Long of the New York Botanic Garden points out in his introduction to the book that as more and more people turn to growing their own, books are needed that show the techniques of dedicated cultivation, as well as the results. Many of the techniques used at Eythrope are old and tried, but have fallen out of use almost everywhere else. With glorious color photos throughout, seven double gatefolds and a ribbon marker, Paradise and Plenty will be the garden book of the year. Mary Keen is an internationally known designer who has worked on gardens in France, Corfu, and U.S. as well as for many high-profile clients in England. She has made several gardens for Lord Rothschild and she also designed the gardens around the new opera house at Glyndebourne. She has lectured in New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, and South Africa as well as in England. For 20 years, she was a member of the National Trust Garden panel, which advises on the care of important and historic gardens. She has monthly columns in the Daily Telegraph and Garden magazine and is a regular contributor to Gardens Illustrated and the Spectator. Gregory Long has been the CEO and president of the New York Botanical Garden since 1989.

67 Naming Monsters Hannah Eaton This adult Where the Wild Things Are is a warm, funny, intriguing, and sexually explicit take on what happens when your emotions become personified by monsters, and how you learn to live with them Fran is a keen amateur cryptozoologist—an expert in the study of animals that may not exist—and she can’t quite tell if the animals she meets are real or part of her imagination. But one thing is for sure: monsters are all around us. The year is 1993, and we join Fran on a wild ride around Lon- don while she negotiates its real or imagined menageries. Tales of strange creatures that might-have-been introduce each stage of her journey. Fran’s adventure, often with her best friend Alex in tow, is a psychogeography of London and its suburbs—a picaresque graphic novel in which the grief of losing her mother is punctuated by encounters with her semi-estranged dad, her out-of-touch East London Nana, a selfish boyfriend, and the odd black dog or two. Hannah Eaton is an artist, writer, and performer, and works with young people in care.

68 The Opportunity Will Volley An exciting debut graphic novel casts a ruthless spotlight on the unforgiving world of door-to-door salesmen—a modern-day noir Death of a Salesman “First thing I’m going to buy when I get my own office is a Porsche Boxster.” It’s winter in Hastings when we meet young Colin, a highly ambitious door-to-door salesman on the verge of making it big time as the owner of his own sales office. And the future is looking good. But when the terms of his promotion change without warning, Colin and his team find themselves with just five days to achieve a new sales target—and to prevent his rival, Paul, from being promoted in his stead as regional manager. Mentally and physically exhausted, Colin has to keep his disgruntled team from “negging out,” train a new recruit from scratch, hatch a scheme to eliminate Paul, and all the while keep a safe distance from a gang of ruthless debt collectors that are out on the streets looking for him. Of course, everything is going to be fine, more than fine, in fact—but meanwhile, he runs out of coins in the phone box and the boss isn’t taking his calls. As Colin’s grasp on reality dissolves in the rain that lashes Hastings’ residential estates, we see how the relentless focus on positive thinking—in the face of exploit- ative management, pay and conditions—leads to delusion, vulnerability, failure, and, finally, human tragedy. Will Volley’s graphic short story The Seagull was published in the anthology Negative Burn by Image Comics and he drew the award-winning graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet for Classical Comics.

Becoming Unbecoming Una A devastating personal account of gender violence told in comic book form, set against the backdrop of the 1970s Yorkshire Ripper manhunt

“So pleased Una’s work will reach a much wider audience.” —Paul Gravett, author, 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die It’s 1977 and Una is 12. Other kids are into punk or ska, but Una is learning to play “Mull of Kintyre” by Wings on the guitar, and she thinks it’s a really good song. There’s another song, chanted on the terraces by Leeds United fans. It might not have made it on to Top of the Pops, but the boys all sing it on the walk home from school: “One Yorkshire Ripper . . . There’s only one Yorkshire Ripper . . . One Yorkshire Ri-pper . . .” A serial murderer is at large in West Yorkshire and the police—despite spending more than two million man-hours hunting the killer and interviewing the man himself no less than nine times—are struggling to solve the case. As this national news story unfolds around her, Una finds herself on the receiving end of a series of violent acts for which she feels she is to blame. Unbecoming explores gender violence, blame, shame, and social responsibility. Through image and text Una asks what it means to grow up in a culture where male violence goes unpunished and unquestioned. With the benefit of hindsight Una explores her experience, wonders if anything has really changed and challenges a global culture that demands that the victims of violence pay its cost. Una is an artist, academic, and comics creator whose work aims to explore lived experience within a socio/historical context. Her self-published graphic narratives have covered disability, psychosis, political activism, and violence against women and girls. Becoming Unbecoming is her first graphic novel.

75 Sherlock Holmes and the Unholy Trinity Paul D. Gilbert A new adventure from the author of Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes and The Giant Rat of Sumatra

“A solid and respectable addition to the ranks of faithful emulations of the Doyle originals.” —Publishers Weekly on The Chronicles of Sherlock Homes A colorfully dressed Bedouin brandishing a sword and wearing an ancient symbol of Chris- tianity interrupts the breakfast of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson with a cryptic message of warning: they must stay away from the affairs of his people. Before long the world’s most famous detective and his tenacious assistant are dispatched to the Vatican to investigate the murder of Cardinal Tosca. Considered the Pope’s natural successor, Tosca was involved in work of a controversial nature—talk of a lost gospel coincided with the arrival of several mysterious packages from Egypt—and he was killed as he worked on the translation of an ancient scroll. All clues point towards Holmes and Watson’s Bedouin intruder and there are whispers of the involvement of a so-called “unholy trinity.” The duo embark upon a dangerous trip to Egypt, the birthplace of the Coptic Church, to uncover the nature of a parchment missing from Cardinal Tosca’s office and, ultimately, the motives of the Bedouin. Paul D. Gilbert is the author of The Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes and the Giant Rat of Sumatra.

80 EXPLOITS OF THOMAS CHALONER

The Cheapside Corpse Susanna Gregory Another excellent historical adventure from Susanna Gregory, featuring 17th-century spy Thomas Chaloner London in the spring of 1665 is a city full of fear. There is plague in the streets of St. Giles, the Dutch fleet is preparing to invade, and a banking crisis threatens to leave Charles II’s government with no means of paying for the nation’s defense. Amid the tension, Thomas Chaloner is ordered to investigate the murder of Dick Wheler, one of the few goldsmith-bankers to have survived the losses that have driven others to bankruptcy—or worse. At the same time, a French spy staggers across the city, carrying the plague from one parish to another. Chaloner’s foray into the world of the financiers who live in and around Cheapside quickly convinces him that they are just as great a threat as the Dutch, but their power and greed thwarts him at every turn. Meanwhile, the plague continues to spread across the city, and the body count from the disease and from the fever of avarice starts to rise alarmingly. Susanna Gregory is a Cambridge academic and the author of the Matthew Bar- tholomew Chronicles and the Thomas Chaloner series.

But why have they been stolen? At the nearby Cathedral, another storm is building around a new, modernizing bishop who believes that if the Church is to survive it must phase out irrelevant archaic practices. Not good news for Merrily Watkins, consultant on the paranormal or, as it used to be known, diocesan exorcist. Especially as she’s now presented with the job at its most medieval. In the moody countryside on the edge of Wales, a rambling 12th-century house is thought to be haunted. Although its new owners don’t believe in ghosts, they do believe in spiritual darkness and the need for exorcism. But their approach to Merrily is oblique and guarded. No- one can be told—least of all, the new bishop. Merrily’s discovery of the house’s links with the medieval legend of a man who resisted mortality threatens to expose the hidden history of a more modern cult and its trail of insidious abuse—a trail that may not be closed. 384 Pages • 6 x 9.5 • 9781782396949 • February • $27.95 (Can $33.95)

Their interviews, together with new and perplexing clues, will lead K2 and Patricia to dark events that took place during World War II. This gripping, evocative, and ingenious mystery pays homage to the great Agatha Christie and will plunge readers into Norwegian history, and into a world of deceit and betrayal, revenge, and the very darkest murder.

115 Theatre of the Gods M. Suddain Steampunk space opera? Damn right.

“Like nothing else I have ever read. . . . A mad bastard of a book, set to the tune of a raving loon. It’s a steampunk space opera like no other. An antidote to the repe- tition common in contemporary science fiction which makes an unforgettable first impression, and the feeling that you’re reading—nay experiencing—something singular persists until the vast narrative’s last flabbergasting gasp.” —Tor.com This is the story of M. Francisco Fabrigas, explorer, philosopher, and heretical physicist, who took a shipful of children on a frightening voyage to the next dimension, assisted by a teenaged Captain, a brave deaf boy, a cunning blind girl, and a sultry botanist, all the while pursued by the Pope of the universe and a well-dressed mesmerist. Dark plots, demonic cults, murderous jungles, quantum mayhem, the birth of creation, the death of time, and a creature called the Sweety: all this and more waits beyond the veil of reality. Tolkien and Verne meet Douglas Adams and Pratchett, care of Gulliver’s Travels. M. Suddain is an author; a journalist; and the founding editor of Blacklist Publishing Co.

The Hive Construct Alexander Maskill Winner of the Terry Pratchett Prize, a dark yet dazzlingly imaginative science fiction thriller by a furiously talented new young writer

“Here’s a talented young writer who not only knows how to tell an exciting story, but a richly rewarding story full of ideas.” —Sir Terry Pratchett Situated deep in the Sahara Desert, New Cairo is a city built on technology—from the huge, life-giving solar panels that keep it functioning in a radically changed, resource-scarce world to the artificial implants that have become the answer to all and any of mankind’s medical problems. But it is also a divided city, dominated by a handful of omnipotent corporate dy- nasties. And when a devastating new computer virus begins to spread through the poorest districts, shutting down the life-giving implants that enable so many to survive, the city begins to slide into the anarchy of violent class struggle. Hiding amid the chaos is Zala Ulora. A gifted hacker and fugitive from justice, she believes she might be able to earn her life back by tracing the virus to its source and destroying it before it destroys the city—or before the city destroys itself. With its vivid characters, bold ideas, and explosive action, The Hive is science fiction at its most exciting, inventive, and accessible. Alex Maskill won the 2013 Terry Pratchett Prive with his debut novel The Hive Construct. Science Fiction • 368 Pages • 5 x 8 9780552170383 • November • $14.95 (NCR) Paper • Rights: US • Corgi

116 Cat Country Lao She Lao She’s only work of science fiction is both a dark, dystopian tale of one man’s close encounter with the feline kind and a scathing indictment of a country gone awry

“It’s in Cat Country that Lao She stretches himself the furthest, producing one of the most remarkable, perplexing, and prophetic novels of modern China. On one level it is a work of science fiction—a visit to a country of cat-like people on Mars—that lampoons 1930s China. On a deeper level, the work predicts the terror and violence of the early Communist era and the chaos and brutality that led to Lao She’s death at the Lake of Great Peace. Cat Country is often called a dystopian novel, but when Lao She took his own life, it was an uncannily accurate portrait of the reality around him.” —New York Review of Books “Fascinating . . . makes an ideal companion piece to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty- Four.” —Times Literary Supplement When a traveler from China crash-lands on Mars, he finds himself in a country inhabited entirely by Cat People. Befriended by a local cat-man, he becomes acquainted in all aspects of cat-life: he learns to speak Felinese, masters cat-poetry, and appreciates the narcotic effects of the reverie leaf—their food staple. But curiosity turns to despair when he ventures further into the heart of the country and the culture, and realizes that he is witnessing the bleak decline of a civilization. Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899 and later studied in London where he developed an appetite for English literature. Many of his works are considered modern Chinese classics, loved by generations of readers for his unique literary style and deft use of humor. His career saw the creation of works ranging from the local, Rickshaw Boy, about the moral degradation of a Beijing rickshaw puller, to the science fiction classic, Cat Country, and the much loved play, Teahouse.

A Kill in the Morning Graeme Shimmin A fast, furious, fun, and acclaimed high concept alternate history thriller from a great new talent, shortlisted for the Terry Pratchett Fiction Prize

“Superbly researched, scarily plausible, and with a great narrative drive . . . a cracking counterfactual, and a terrific debut.” —Stephen Baxter, author, Proxima I don’t like killing, but I’m good at it. Murder isn’t so bad from a distance, just shapes pop- ping up in my scope. Close-up work though—a garrotte around a target’s neck or a knife in their heart—it’s not for me. Too much empathy, that’s my problem. Usually. But not today. Today is different . . . The year is 1955 and something is very wrong with the world. It is 14 years since Churchill died and World War II ended. In occupied Europe, Britain fights a cold war against a nuclear-armed Nazi Germany. In Berlin the Gestapo is on the trail of a beautiful young resistance fighter, and the head of the SS is plotting to dispose of an ailing Adolf Hitler and restart the war against Britain and her empire. Meanwhile, in a secret bunker hidden deep beneath the German countryside, scientists are experimenting with a force far beyond their understanding. Into this arena steps a nameless British assassin, on the run from a sinister cabal within his own government, and planning a private war against the Nazis. And now the fate of the world rests on a single kill in the morning. Take the meticulous research of Robert Harris, the spy thrills of Ian Fleming, the classic action of Alistair MacLean, and the wild ride of a Tarantino film and you’re coming close to A Kill in the Morning.

The Aelfir who had brought trade and riches, and a future full of promise.

But when a strange man named Fabian Moor returns to the Labyrinth, Clara learns that magic serves a higher purpose and that some myths are much more deadly in the flesh. The only people Clara can trust are the Relic Guild, a secret band of magickers sworn to protect the Labyrinth. But the Relic Guild are now too few. To truly defeat their old nemesis Moor, mightier help will be required. To save the Labyrinth—and the lives of one million humans—Clara and the Relic Guild must find a way to contact the worlds beyond their walls. Edward Cox is a debut author.

Claudius is a drunken fool and Narcissus and Pallas, his freedmen, are battling for control of his throne. Separately, they decide to send Vespasian East to Arme- nia to defend Rome’s interests. But there is more at stake than protecting a client kingdom. Rumors abound that Agrippina is involved in a plot to destabilize the East. Vespasian must find a way to serve two masters—Narcissus is determined to ruin Agrippina, Pallas to save her. Meanwhile, the East is in turmoil. A new Jewish cult is flourishing and its adherents refuse to swear loyalty to the Emperor. In Armenia, Vespasian is captured. Immured in the oldest city on earth, how can he escape? And is a Rome ruled by a woman who despises Vespasian any safer than a prison cell? Robert Fabbri is the author of the Vespasian series.

The Horse Changer Craig Smith Follow the intelligent and compellingly chequered career of a little-known participant in Rome’s civil wars Dellius distinguishes himself in Caesar’s Spanish war against Pompey, becomes a tribune of cavalry in Caesar’s army, and looks forward to an assured and glittering career. But when his hero is assassinated, the Roman republic is plunged into chaos as both his heirs and enemies jostle for power. In the civil wars that follow, Dellius is soon caught up in a maelstrom of shifting allegiances, and the young soldier will need to discover reserves of both tenacity and ruthlessness if he is to survive. As he journeys from the orgiastic salons of Rome’s Pal- atine Hill to the Palaces of Alexandria, the rocky fortresses of Judea and the bloody field of Philippi, he manages to incur the enmity both of Egypt’s queen and Rome’s future emperor, but also to snare the affections of a beautiful and cunning young senator’s wife, Livia Drusil- la. This epic cast of historical greats, which includes Julius Caesar, Octavian, Mark Antony, Horace, Cassius Longinus, Cleopatra, Herod the Great, and the future empress, Livia, will appeal to readers of Robert Harris, Robert Graves, James Clavell, and Hilary Mantel. Craig Smith is a former English professor and the author of The Blood Lance, Cold Rain, and The Painted Messiah.

Enemy of Rome Douglas Jackson Bravery and brutality at the heart of a Roman Empire in the throes of bloody civil war—Gaius Valerius Verrens returns in his fifth adventure

“A master of his discipline rightly hailed as one of the best historical novelists writing today.” —Daily Express Summer, AD 69. Rome and its empire are in turmoil, caught in the coils of a desperate and destructive civil war. The emperor Otho is dead by his own hand and his rival, Aulus Vitellius, occupies the imperial throne. However, a new challenge has arisen in the East—the legions of Titus Flavius Vespasian have declared him their Emperor. In the dry heat of an August morning, Gaius Vale- rius Verrens prepares for his last day on earth. Wrongly accused of deserting his legion on the field of Bedriacum, it seems he is destined to die a coward’s death. Then the executioner’s hand is stayed. Vitellius’ enemies will spare the life of the man who was once Hero of Rome if he pledges allegiance to Vespasian and his cause. Valerius—tired of the endless slaughter and hoping that he might be reunited with his lost love—agrees. And so he must battle his way south to Rome in order to persuade his friend Vitellius to stand down for the greater good of the city, its people, and the Empire. But this is civil war and this is Rome, and Valerius—his loyalties divided and branded an enemy of the people—is trapped in a maze of distrust, corruption, betrayal, and blood-letting. Douglas Jackson is the author of Caligula and Claudius as well as the previous titles featuring Gaius Valerius Verrens, Hero of Rome, Avenger of Rome, Defender of Rome, and Sword of Rome.

The Book of Dreams The first book in a brand-new historical adventure series Frankia 780AD: Sigwulf, a minor Saxon prince, is saved from execution after his family is slaughtered by the ruthless King Offa of Mercia. Sigwulf is exiled to the Frankish court of King Carolus, the future Charlemagne. He gains the friendship of some—Count Hroudland, Carolus’s powerful and ambitious nephew but—mysteriously—several attempts are made on Sigwulf’s life. When he obtains a Book of Dreams, a rare text giving understanding to their meaning, he attracts the attention of Carolus himself. But the Book proves to be a slippery guide in a world of treachery and double dealing. Sent into Spain to spy on the Saracens, Sigwulf becomes caught between loyalties; either he honors his debt to new friends among the Saracens, or he serves his patron Count Hroudland in his quest for glory, gold and even the Grail itself. 9781447212140 • October

The Emperor’s Elephant The second book in Tim Severin’s thrilling historical adventure series set in Saxon times Sigwulf, a Saxon prince exiled to the court of Carolus, King of the Franks, is summoned by the royal advisor Alcuin of York. Carolus has received magnificent gifts from the Caliph of Baghdad and is determined to send back presents that will be equally sensational. White is the royal color of Baghdad so the most important gifts will be rare white animals from the Northlands. Sigwulf, having proved himself as a royal agent to Moorish Spain, has been selected to obtain the creatures, then take them to Baghdad. He must find white gyrfalcons and two white polar bears and—as Carolus has seen its picture in a book of beasts—a unicorn. He and his companions travel far into the north. Though they obtain some of the animals, they quickly realize that not all are even real. Setting out for Baghdad with their menagerie, they encounter danger after danger and it seems that someone is trying to wreck their mission—with each stage of the long journey bringing a new and unexpected peril. 9781447212157 • February

The Need for Better Regulation of Outer Space A Collection of Stories Pippa Goldschmidt From the author of the highly acclaimed The Falling Sky, an outstanding collection of short stories on the theme of science and its impact on all our lives

“Artists, romantics, philosophers, mystics, feminists, photographers and scientists will all identify with aspects of Jeanette’s journey. . . . [A] striking debut novel.” —Shelf Awareness on The Falling Sky “The Falling Sky is that rare thing: a literary novel that gets under the hood of science as a social enterprise, done by real and fallible people. It’s an extremely accomplished debut and the best evocation of the actual life of an astronomer I’ve ever read.” —Alastair Reynolds, author, Blue Remembered Earth, on The Falling Sky In stories by turns witty, accessible, fascinating, and deeply moving, Pippa Goldschmidt demonstrates her mastery of the short form as well as her ability to draw out scientific themes with humane and compelling insight. This collection allows readers to spy on Bertolt Brecht as he rewrites his play Life of Galileo with Charles Laughton after the bombings of Hiro- shima and Nagasaki. It introduces Albert Einstein as he deals with the loss of his first child, Liesel. We meet Robert Oppenheimer scheming against his tutor, Professor Patrick Blackett, at Cambridge University, having fallen in love with Blackett’s wife. We also hear the story of a female university student starting a love affair with her lecturer paralleled alongside the “relationship” between Alice and Bob, two imaginary figures that symbolize the theory of relativity. These stories’ scopes can be epic, at other times intimate, providing a forensic examination of relationships and the forces that influence them. Pippa Goldschmidt has a PhD in astronomy and worked as an astronomer for several years, followed by posts in the civil service including working in outer space policy. She has written on astronomy for the New York Times. In 2012 she was awarded a prestigious Scottish Book Trust/Creative Scotland New Writers Award.

Private Views Frederic Raphael Charlie Marsden has to come to terms with a woman whom he cannot help but love uncon- ditionally but who can never quite be his in this portrait of a vanishing generation Who is Katya Lowell and what is the secret of her life? A beautiful, seemingly cool painter of unnerving images in 1970s London, she comes to the attention of Charlie Marsden, an aristocrat who works at an old merchant bank in the City. Why does this elegant, enigmatic woman choose to spend time with outsiders such as the former secret agent Harry Groves and the suburban multi-millionaire Jarvis Green? Private Views is a portrait gallery of smart society. The author’s pitch-perfect dialogue fills the reader’s ears with the voices of the stammeringly voluble dramatic critic Benedict Bligh; the glossy magazine columnist Tamsin Fairfax; Charlie’s smart, bisexual auctioneer roommate Marcus Steele; the gentleman cook Theo Plant; and his thriller-writing brother Ferdy and his delicious sister Camilla. Like a threatened species, they prefer not to look at the cunning predators and their low-life sidekicks who are taking control of old England. This love story, at once superbly romantic and darkly erotic, guides our imagination towards savoring the ambiguous connection between life and art. Frederic Raphael’s new novel is both an original work of art and the portrait of a vanishing generation. It is as if The Story of O. had been crossed with The Portrait of a Lady. Frederic Raphael has written more than 25 novels and many works of nonfiction, including A Jew among the Romans. He has also written many screenplays, including Darling, for which he won an Oscar; Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut; and Two for the Road.

Bodhisattva Blues A Novel Edward Canfor-Dumas An insightful novel of everyday life, for anyone who’s ever wondered whether enlightenment really is compatible with the daily commute Ed is stuck in a rut—his part-time “career” is going nowhere, his love life’s a joke, and his wallet’s always empty. The thing about a rut, though, is at least you know where you are. So when Ed runs into an old acquaintance and is sucked into a drama of street crime and high-stakes property dealings, he turns to the principles that once served him well. Ex- cept—he’s not sure if he can still trust them, especially as his Buddhist practice is a bit on the rusty side.

142 The Artificial Anatomy of Parks Kat Gordon A literary debut covering family secrets, friendships, love, damage, and medicine

“With heartbreakingly understated prose, Kat Gordon lays out the terrible loneliness of a child at the center of an exploded, secretive family. It is an autopsy of how we love and an exploration of forgiveness, both disturbing and shimmering in deceptive simplicity.” —Liza Klaussmann, author, Tigers in Red Weather At 21, Tallulah Park lives alone in a grimy bedsit. There’s a sink in her bedroom and a strange damp smell that means she wakes up wheezing. Then she gets the call that her father has had a heart attack.

This is her story about the journey from love to loss and back again. Kat Gordon is a debut novelist.

145 Panthers & the Museum of Fire Jen Craig Complex and fascinating, this novella about walking, memory, and writing has earned comparisons from Woolf to Knausgaard

“Bold, original, and urgent. . . . A complex work of fictionalized-memoir in the style of writers such as Karl Ove Knausgaard and Sheila Heti. . . . It is an experimental novella but surprisingly easy to read, and brilliant for the very ordinariness of its subject, the everyday reflections of a very human mind throughout the progress of a day.” —Bookseller+Publisher The narrator walks from Glebe to a central Sydney café to return a manuscript by a recently-dead writer. While she walks, the reader enters the narrator’s entire world: life with family and neighbors, narrow misses with cars, her singular friendships, dinner conversations, and work. We learn of her adolescent desire for maturity and acceptance through a brush with religion, her anorexia, the exercise of that power when she was powerless in every other aspect of her life. Jen Craig is an author whose short stories have appeared in various Australian literary magazines. She collaborated with composers of the chamber opera, A Dictionary of Maladies, in 2005.

The Unbearable Dreamworld of Champa the Driver Chan Koonchung A humorous literary novel of modern China, from the author of The Fat Years

“Smart, incendiary. . . . Although The Fat Years clearly owes a debt to Brave New World, Chan’s characters are infinitely more believable, and drawn with a real sense of sympathy and understanding.” —NPR on The Fat Years Life is simple for Champa. He has a good job as a chauffeur in his hometown of Lhasa, and if his Chinese boss Plum is a little domineering, well, he can understand that—she’s a serious art collector after all. And he does get to drive her huge Toyota. When he starts to sleep with his boss as well as drive her around, life becomes a whole lot more complicated. But not in a bad way. Suddenly Champa’s sex life is beyond his wildest dreams. But then Plum brings home a Tara statue—a statue that shines with exquisite feminine beauty—and suddenly life is not simple at all, as Champa finds himself on the long road to Beijing in search of its inspiration. This is a rollicking road novel brimful of sensuality and danger. Underlying the optimism and humor of its hero is a darker picture of racism and rough justice in modern Beijing. Chan Koonchung is an author whose first novel, the dystopian The Fat Years, was highly acclaimed and published around the world.

Leaves John Simmons A literary debut about a 1970s community and all its contradictions A yell became an intrusion of privacy. Was this a clamouring for entry into houses . . . or lives? Looking on then, looking back now, I wish I could have been more definite. It might have made me a different, better person, a player not a spectator. Ophelia Street, 1970. A street like any other, a community that lives and breathes together as people struggle with their commitments and pursue their dreams. It is a world we recognize, a world where class and gender divide, where set roles are acknowledged. But what happens when individuals step outside those roles, when they secretly covet, express desire, pursue am- bitions—even harm and destroy? An observer in the midst of Ophelia Street watches, writes, imagines, remembers, charting the lives and loves of his neighbors over the course of four seasons. And we see the flimsily disguised underbelly of urban life revealed in all its challenging glory. As the leaves turn from vibrant green to vivid gold, so lives turn and change too, laying bare the truth of the community. Perhaps, ultimately, we all exist on Ophelia Street. John Simmons runs writing workshops and retreats to teach creative writing. He is the author of Dark Angels; The Invisible Grail; and We, Me, Them & It.

“Have you in the last twenty-four hours had any suicidal thoughts?” The woman stared at her in a way that made her feel very uncomfortable. Jessica shook her head and looked down into her lap. “Feel free to speak up, Jessica. We are here to help you.” Nice nurse spoke softly, kindly, in spite of the disapproving twist of her colleague’s mouth. Jessica had a sudden flashback to her wedding day. She remembered standing and trying to make Jake, and Matthew’s other mates, be quiet so Matthew could speak. “We all knew Jess wouldn’t be able to resist getting involved during the speeches, right? Apparently the trick for me is going to be how to get her to shut up, not just today but throughout our married life. Roger has very kindly given me these for use in extreme emergencies!” She pictured the ear defenders her dad had supposedly given him. But now it was as if she had stopped owning her own life. A decision had been taken without her consent, arrangements made without her involvement; people had started talking about her in hallways and into phones with palms cupped over the mouthpiece. From that moment, she had no longer been responsible for herself. At first she’d felt quite relieved and a little petrified. As time went on, she’d felt less relieved and more petrified. Because if she wasn’t responsible for herself, then how could she control what happened to her? And the answer to that was that she couldn’t. Her tears came quickly and without warning. She stayed silent, as her hot distress tumbled down her face and clogged her nose and mouth. “Where have I gone, what has happened to me?”

163 In the Shadow of the Dreamchild The Myth and Reality of Lewis Carroll Third edition Karoline Leach A revolutionary and much-acclaimed study of the work and motives of the Alice in Won- derland author This is the most significant biographical work on the author of Alice in Wonderland to be published in recent years, and this new edition marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Karoline Leach’s study contends that Carroll was far from being emotionally—and sexually—obsessed with female children and his “muse” Alice Liddell. She tells the strange story of how the false image of Carroll came into being and how he adored—and was adored by—women of all ages and enjoyed adult relationships that would have scandalized the Victorian age in which he lived. The author gained access to unpublished evidence from the family archive, as well as letters and diaries, which led her to uncover Carroll’s secret passion for another member of “Alice’s” family. In the Shadow of the Dreamchild is a radical re-evaluation of the life and work of one of England’s most mysterious literary figures, and the revised edition expands on Leach’s important research. Karoline Leach has written for the theater since the early 1990s, and is the playwright of The Mysterious Mr Love and Tryst, which premiered off-Broadway in 2006.

The Frood The Authorised and Very Official History of Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Jem Roberts Introduction by Douglas Adams

“Jem manages to write about popular cultural institutions with knowledge and affection.” —Stephen Fry As a wise ape once observed, space is big—vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly so. However, if you look too closely at space, it becomes nothing but lumps of rock and sundry gases. Sometimes it’s necessary to take a step back, and let a few billion years go by, before any of the true wonder and scope of the cosmos becomes apparent. Similarly, the late 20th-century author, humorist, and thinker Douglas Adams was big—vastly, hugely and thoroughly mind-bogglingly so, both in physical terms, and as a writer who has touched millions of readers, firing up millions of cerebellums all over planet Earth, for more than 35 years—and for nearly half of that time, he hasn’t even been alive. It would be ridiculous to pretend that Douglas Adams’ life and work has gone unexamined since his dismayingly early death at 49 but throughout the decade since the last book to tackle the subject, the universes Adams created have continued to develop, to beguile, and to expand minds, and will undoubtedly do so for generations to come. An all-new approach to the most celebrated creation of Douglas Adams is therefore most welcome, and The Frood tells the story of Adams’ explosive but agonizingly constructed fictional universe, from his initial inspirations to the post- humous sequel(s) and adaptations, bringing together a thousand tales of life as part of the British Comedy movements of the late 1970s and 1980s along the way. With the benefit of hindsight friends and colleagues have been interviewed for a fresh take on the man and his works. Jem Roberts is the author of The Fully Authorised History of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue and The True History of the Black Adder. Douglas Adams (1952–2001) is best known for the 1970s BBC Radio series (and later novel, TV series, and feature film) The Hitch- hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He also wrote three Doctor Who serials, as well as the Dirk Gently series.

Rupert Brooke Life, Death and Myth Nigel Jones A revised edition of the candid and shocking biography of Rupert Brooke, revealing the very different reality behind the golden-boy façade of an English literary icon

“Intelligent, witty, and definitive, this is literary biography at its best.” —Andrew Roberts, author, Napoleon: A Life Paragon of youthful beauty, romantic symbol of a lost England, and precociously gifted poet, Rupert Chawner Brooke died in a hospital ship off the Aegean island of Skyros in April 1915. The 27-year-old author of the patriotic sonnet “The Soldier” was buried in a grave strewn with olive branches and scented with sage. All England mourned his passing. But behind the glow of myth lies a darker reality. At the height of his promise, a disappointment in love triggered a mental and physical collapse that brought his inner complexities to the surface. Letters reveal a man who was sexually ambivalent, misogynistic, anti-Se- mitic—and sometimes alarmingly unstable. This revised edition of Nigel Jones’s admired biography, with a new chapter on a previously unknown affair of Brooke’s, reveals a more conflicted and troubled individual than the gilded Adonis of English literary myth.

165 Agatha Christie Second edition Mark Campbell An informed introduction to the Christie phenomenon, updated to include new material on the final Poirot adaptation series and Sophie Hannah’s The Monogram Murders

• Partners in Crimes, starring David Walliams (Little Britain) and Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife), will be airing on the BBC in 2015. This adaptation of two Christie novels was commissioned for the BBC to mark the 125th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s birth in 2015. Since her debut in 1920 with The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie has become the chief proponent of the English village murder mystery. Christie wrote complex whodunits in a clear, readable style, which is why her books are as popular now as they were 80 years ago. Exemplary film and TV adaptations (Peter Ustinov and David Suchet as Poirot, Margaret Rutherford, and Joan Hickson as Miss Marple), have also encouraged new readers to search out her work. The film, TV, and stage adaptations are listed in this guide, and appendices point readers to books and websites where they can find out more. Mark Campbell is theater critic for the Kentish Times; has written for the Independent, Midweek, and Crime Time; and is one of the main contributors to the two-volume British Crime Writing: An Encyclopedia. He has produced Pocket Essentials on Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and Carry On Films.

The Ian Fleming Miscellany Andrew Cook A unique insight into how Ian Fleming created by inspiration—and sometimes plagiarism—the legend of James Bond The book centers on Ian Fleming the man, his contradictions, and his public and private personality. It examines the man behind the myth and how in particular he managed (unsuccessfully at first) to create a film franchise that has lasted more than 50 years. It considers Fleming’s reputation as a writer, the “formula method” he perfected and the formula’s reliance on the recycling of real individuals and events as well as the occasional reliance on plagiarism. It uniquely accesses a number of closed and recently opened government files that shed light on previously unknown wartime operations such as the Air Ministry’s top secret “Operation Grand Slam,” which was used in Goldfinger. Andrew Cook is an author and TV consultant. His previous books include On His Majesty’s Secret Service, Ace of Spies, M: MI5’s First Spymaster, The Great Train Robbery, and 1963: That Was the Year That Was.

166 How to Be Well Read A Guide to 500 Great Novels and a Handful of Literary Curiosities John Sutherland A very personal guide to the best novels ever written, and why they matter

“A dazzling array of genres, periods, styles, and tastes . . . chatty, insightful, unprejudiced (but not uncritical), and wise.” —Times Literary Supplement As the annual flood of published novels grows ever greater, it’s a hard a job to keep up, let alone sort the wheat from the chaff. Fortunately, literary sleuth and academic John Sutherland is on hand to do precisely that. In the course of more than 500 wittily informative pieces he gives us his own very personal take on the most rewarding, most remarkable, and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written—the perfect reading list for the would-be literary expert. His taste is impressively eclectic. An appreciation of Apuleius’s The Golden Ass—arguably the first-ever novel—is followed by a consideration of Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger. The Handmaid’s Tale is followed by Hangover Square, Jane Eyre by Jaws. There are imposing Victorian novels, entertaining contemporary thrillers, and everything in between, from dystopian works to romance. The flavor of each is brilliantly evoked and its relative merits or demerits assessed. At the same time, John Sutherland shows how the work fits into a broader context— whether that of the author’s life or of other books from the same genre or period. And he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid £20 for Black Beauty? Encyclopedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate. It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so bite-sized pieces. John Sutherland has been a professor of literature for a long time and in many places. He is the author of numerous books, including How Literature Works, A Little History of Literature, and Lives of the Novelists. In recent years he has written voluminously on a variety of literary and non-literary topics in, principally, the Guardian and the Financial Times. Currently he teaches at the Califor- nia Institute of Technology and is the emeritus Lord Northcliffe Professor at UCL.

The Bookshop Book Jen Campbell A love letter to bookshops all around the world, from the author of Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores

“So funny, so sad. . . . Read it and sigh.” —Neil Gaiman on Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores We’re not talking about rooms that are just full of books. We’re talking about bookshops in barns, disused factories, converted churches, and underground car parks. Bookshops on boats, on buses, and in old run-down train stations. Fold-out bookshops, undercover bookshops, this-is-the-best-place-I’ve-ever-been-to-bookshops. Meet Sarah and her Book Barge sailing across the sea to France; meet Sebastien, in Mongolia, who sells books to herders of the Altai mountains; meet the bookshop in Canada that’s invented the world’s first antiquarian book vending machine. And that’s just the beginning. From the oldest bookshop in the world, to the smallest you could imagine, The Bookshop Book examines the history of books, talks to authors about their favorite places, and looks at more than 300 weirdly wonderful bookshops across six continents (sadly, we’ve yet to build a bookshop down in the South Pole). The Bookshop Book includes interviews and quotes from David Almond, Ian Rankin, Tracy Chevalier, Audrey Niffenegger, Jacqueline Wilson, Jeanette Winterson, and many, many others. Jen Campbell is the author of Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores. She is a published poet and short story writer and works at Ripping Yarns bookshop in North London.

Plain Words A Guide to the Use of English Sir Ernest Gowers Revised and Adapted by Rebecca Gowers In print since 1948, this style guide has been loved and endorsed throughout the decades by the likes of Bill Bryson, Lynne Truss, Harold Evans, and Winston Churchill When Sir Ernest Gowers first wrote Plain Words, it was intended simply as a guide to the proper use of English for the Civil Service. Within a year, however, its humor, charm, and authority had made it a bestseller. Since then it has never been out of print. Plain Words has been updated to reflect numerous changes in English usage, yet Sir Ernest’s distinctive, witty voice is undimmed. And his message remains vital: our writing should be as clear and comprehensible as possible, avoiding superfluous words and clichés—from the jargon of “commercialese” to the murky euphemisms of politicians. In a new preface, this edition draws on an extensive private archive, previously hidden away in family cupboards and attics, to tell the story behind a book that has become an institution: the essential guide to making yourself understood. Sir Ernest Gowers (1880–1966) was a leading civil servant who ran the civil defense of Lon- don during World War II and is best remembered for Plain Words. Rebecca Gowers is the author of The Swamp of Death, shortlisted for the CWA Nonfiction Golden Dagger Award, and of two novels, When to Walk and The Twisted Heart, both longlisted for the Orange Prize.

170 You Say Potato The Story of English Accents Ben Crystal and David Crystal An authoritative, entertaining book about our accents, and what they say about us Some people say scohn, while others say schown. He says bath, while she says bahth. You say potayto. I say potahto, and—wait a second, no one says potahto. No one’s ever said potahto. Have they? From reconstructing Shakespeare’s accent to the rise and fall of Received Pronun- ciation, actor Ben Crystal and his linguist father David travel the world in search of the stories of spoken English. Everyone has an accent, though many of us think we don’t. We all have our likes and dislikes about the way other people speak, and everyone has something to say about “correct” pronunciation. But how did all these accents come about, and why do people feel so strongly about them? Are regional accents dying out as English becomes a global language? Witty, authoritative, and jam-packed full of fascinating facts, You Say Potato is a celebration of the myriad ways in which the English language is spoken—and how our accents, in so many ways, speak louder than words. Ben Crystal is an actor, producer, and writer. He played Hamlet in the first Original Pronuncia- tion production of the play for 400 years with the Nevada Repertory Company, and curated the British Library’s CD, Shakespeare’s Original Pronunciation. He cowrote Shakespeare’s Words and The Shakespeare Miscellany with his father, David Crystal, and his first solo book, Shakespeare on Toast: Getting a Taste for the Bard was shortlisted for the 2010 Educational Writer of the Year Award. He and his Shakespeare ensemble perform and give Shake- speare workshops around the world. David Crystal works as a writer, editor, lecturer, and broadcaster. He has published extensively on the history and development of English, including The Stories of English, Evolving English, and Spell it Out: The Singular Story of English Spelling. They are the coauthors of The Oxford Illustrated Dictionary of Shakespeare. Language & Linguistics • 352 Pages • 5 x 7.75 9781447255468 • September • $13.95 (NCR) Paper • Rights: US • Pan Macmillan

Gwynne’s Latin The Ultimate Introduction to Latin Including the Latin in Everyday English N. M. Gwynne The ultimate guide to Latin, for its own sake, to improve your English, and to make you better at everything else

“The personality of its author is not the least attraction of Gwynne’s Grammar . . . [a book] with not the least wisp of dumbing-down in his composition . . . I feel a certain elegance in what I have been taught and still take to be correct English.” —Wall Street Journal on Gwynne’s Grammar Latin is “it,” the most wonderful “thing.” It is mind-enhancing, character-improving, enthralling, exciting, deeply satisfying, and valuable. My solid determination is to spare no pains to do it the justice that its importance demands. Mr. Gwynne, author of Gwynne’s Grammar, is just as emphatic about the importance of Latin as he is about the importance of grammar. From the novice to the more well-versed, Gwynne’s Latin is essential for anyone interested in learning Latin; Mr. Gwynne promises to teach you more Latin in half an hour than you would learn from years of being taught Latin at school. He also includes a fascinating section on everyday Latin usage, which discusses all the Latin words and idioms we still use today, such as quid pro quo and sui generis. Though we need no further convincing—as we know, Mr. Gwynne is never wrong—here are just some of the many reasons why Latin is utterly wonderful: Latin is an academic subject easy enough for the least intelligent of us to grasp all the basic elements of, and yet difficult enough to be demanding for its greatest scholars. For more than 1,000 years it was the means of communication that united the whole of Eu- rope culturally and in every other significant way. It is the direct ancestor of, between them, the five most widely spoken European languages, and both of the official South American languages. It is the ancestor and source of more than half of the English language, partly directly and partly through French, which for some centuries was England’s official language. Following in the same beautifully designed footsteps of Gwynne’s Grammar, Gwynne’s Latin will teach you all the fundamentals of Latin quickly, thoroughly, and better than all the competition. N. M. Gwynne began teaching in the 1980s, at first privately. He soon found that he had a clear vocation for teaching, and that his traditional methods, universal up to the 1960s and refined and perfected century after century up till then, had suddenly become all but unique because of the revolution in teaching that had taken place worldwide. Now with an international word-of-mouth reputation, Mr. Gwynne has been flown around the world in order to teach his pupils. He is also the author of Gwynne’s Grammar: The Ultimate Introduction to Grammar and the Writing of Good English.

Hidden Treasures of London A Guide to the Capital’s Best-Kept Secrets Michael McNay A lavishly illustrated guide to London’s lesser-known cultural gems Nobody could deny that London is one of the most culturally and architecturally rich places in the world. We cannot think of it without calling to mind buildings such as the Houses of Par- liament and St. Paul’s Cathedral, monuments such as Nelson’s Column and the Cenotaph, and the incredible collections of museums such as the V&A and Natural History Museum. But such glories can make us overlook some of the other, less obvious wonders that the city has to offer. Michael McNay has collected these more esoteric attractions here, highlighting masterpieces and locations of significance the length and breadth of the city and its suburbs. In some cases an entire building may draw his attention; perhaps a beautiful church tucked away on a backstreet or an unobtrusive townhouse that lodged some great figure. In other cases it may be only a particular object or feature; a display of photographs, or some particularly fine relief sculpture. In every case McNay describes the subject at hand in vivid detail and provides the reader with the cultural and historical context needed to fully appreciate it. However well you may think you know the capital, this book is certain to unlock more of its secrets to you, leading you away from well-trodden tourist destinations to explore the amazing secret history of this great city. Michael McNay worked for the Guardian for 37 years, during which time he wrote and edited features, was the paper’s first arts editor, and wrote frequently on fine art and cinema. He was closely involved in the paper’s root and branch redesign of the late 1980s, and, to see it through, moved on to laying out and editing the front page for several years. He is now a freelance writer. His books include Hidden Treasures of England and a study of the St Ives painter Patrick Heron.

181 Breaking Ground Classic Travel Writing from Pioneering Women A new compilation of classic travel writing spans the globe, celebrating the pioneering spirit of women throughout the ages Spanning three centuries, this assortment of writings reveals a rich treasure trove of anecdotes and adventures from incredible women worth celebrating and remembering. Learn how Celia Fiennes traveled the length and breadth of England, riding side-saddle, at the dawn of the 18th century; Austrian Ida Pfeiffer took multiple journeys around the world in the 1840s; and Dora d’Istria, a mountain-climbing duchess and polymath, traveled widely through Europe—her account of ascending Mont Blanc in 1860 is perhaps the most striking. Isabel Burton’s adventures were as a government employee’s wife stationed all over the world. Isabella Bird traveled around the world on doctor’s orders—until finally retraining as a doctor and missionary in her 60s for a trip to India and its surrounding countries. Readers will find out what motivated Marie Kingsley to travel solo to the deepest parts of West Africa and how her journeys shaped not only her own way of thinking but that of Europe as whole. They will learn how May Kellogg Sullivan undertook her journey to Alaska and the Yukon to seek her fortune in the gold-mining world. They’ll be astonished to read how on a trip to Burma, India, Ceylon, and Indonesia with her husband, Fanny Bullock Workman cycled 15,000 miles (as a welcome break from glacier-climbing in the Himalayas); how investigative journalist Nellie Bly took up Jules Verne’s gauntlet to travel around the world in 80 days; and how Ella Sykes once rode on horseback from the Caspian Sea all the way to India.

182 At Night A Journey Round Britain from Dusk to Dawn Dixe Wills A quirky, amusing exploration of Britain after dark—includes tips on finding your way by the moon and the stars, and discussions of wildlife and natural history The night is a period of rest and relaxation when we recharge our bodies for the travails of the following day. It is also the time when deeds that are best hidden by a cloak of darkness are carried out—and yet that same darkness can protect the innocent from the predator. It’s a period of calm and tranquility but also a time of disorientation when familiar surroundings become foreign. This is a narrative account of a journey around Britain tasting all that the night has to offer—the sights, the sounds, the smells, the people, the animals. It’s also a reflection on our relationship with the hours of darkness. Ten chapters discover the dark secrets of Cornwall, Devon, Skomer, Snowdonia, Cumbria, Scotland, London, and much more in an illuminating and inspiring tour of Britain by night. Dixe Wills is the author of Tiny Islands and Tiny Stations. A travel writer and journalist focusing on eco-friendly travel and the British Isles, he frequently contributes to the Guardian, the Observer, the Ecologist, Countryfile Magazine, and Esquire.

Utterly Lost in Translation Even More Misadventures in English Abroad Charlie Croker Watch as the English language gets abused around the world with these weird, hilarious, and strange misspellings and mistranslations The search for the globe’s funniest language howler continues apace. As with his two previous volumes, Charlie Croker has trawled hotel foyers in Kazakhstan, South Korean su- permarkets, and Argentinian airports, plucking from the mistranslation tree only the very choicest of fruits for your delectation. There is the French hotel advising that “pets are not allowed in the breakfast.” The bar in Rome requesting that you “use the arse-tray for your fags.” And the bookshop in China boasting a section titled “sports and hobbits.” Who can tell what the Japanese camera manufacturer had in mind when they included “beware the weatherly swell” in their instructions? Who would brave the Barcelona hotel where the pillows have “firmness to take care of your cervicals?” Who could resist the Austrian restaurant offering “Saddle of Rabbit in a vortex sheet?” This delightful book is an affectionate trawl through the gems that arise when people all round the world graciously indulge En- glish speakers’ shunning of any language but their own. In fact, some of the gems are homegrown: a British restaurant warns that “any person consumed in the restaurant without paying will be prospected.” So eat some “chicken soap” in Bulgaria, drink “Jack Denials” in Italy, stay at the Budapest hotel offering “non-sliding mates for the bathtubes . . . ,” and find yourself utterly lost in translation. Charlie Croker is a journalist and the author of Lost in Translation and Still Lost in Trans- lation. He has written for the Daily Mail, the Spectator, and the Times.

It sits, regally, upon pleated glacial folds gathered together around a timeless, grey-rock body, high above the French town of Chamonix, lord of all that it surveys. It beguiles, bewitches, and charms the lesser folk who seek to frolic and play among the buttressed foothills of its ancient frame, but exudes also a sense of foreboding; a warning to the 100 or so climbers that die each year attempting to reach the gleaming, domed summit of this great snow-encrusted mountain. Framed by the cobalt blue sky and golden alpine sun, Western Europe’s highest mountain has held a certain allure to explorers and hikers for centuries, playing host to the likes of Hannibal, Napo- leon, and the early pioneers of alpine exploration. In a muddy field somewhere in Cornwall on New Year’s Day, two men make a pact to tackle it. Call it a mid-life crisis, with not only one of their daughter’s about to leave for university but also the rapidly approaching prospect of a 50th birthday to consider: walking across a mountain range seems the perfect antidote. David Le Vay is the author of The Hairy Hikers. Travel • 272 Pages • 5 x 7.5 • 1 Map 9781849535199 • November • $14.95 (Can $17.95) Paper • Rights: US & Canada Summersdale

What I didn’t know was that it would test me to the inner core. This desert with its rolling dune fields is an unforgiving land that relentlessly destroys even its own ancient beauty. It is a place where, compared to the age of the landscape, a single life means less than a grain of sand. I could not have known that the biggest challenge I would face would not be from the piercing sun, not from the unforgiving dust, not even from the aching loneliness of isolation, but from the treachery of my own self. When Karen and her partner Al set forth from the cold mountains of Tasmania to the heat of central Australia to transform a cattle station into a conservation reserve, they were ready to embrace the beauty of the land and throw themselves into the task of protecting native plants and animals. They thought they had all the skills necessary to beat the heat, the dust, and their isolation from society. However, when Karen became unexpectedly pregnant, their lives were turned upside down. Suddenly their biggest danger was not their exposure to the harsh elements but to the deepest fears that resided within themselves. Karen Harrland has packed bananas in northern Queensland, studied environmental management at University, made djembe drums in Africa, staked road kill wombats to the ground for Tassie Devils to eat in Tasmania and helped wayward youth learn how to plant trees.

Hitchy Feet A Grown-up’s Guide to Running Away from Home and Accidentally Getting a Life John Card Quitting his teaching job to hitchhike Australia, John didn’t expect to be put in prison, get headbutted, or endure mild strangulation—but somehow it still beat the monotony of marking books with dicks drawn on them I taught a kid who went to jail for setting a human on fire. I remember a boy crying in front of the whole class because his dad was an arsehole; another kid delivering the eulogy at his mother’s funeral. A boy who went from robbing houses to becoming a chef and a father; a girl who moved into pornography. In my early years of teaching, I consistently declared that I had ‘fallen’ into the occupation, as if it was a hole. Perhaps . . . It was time to do something else. John Card was a high school teacher with good prospects. However, he was also burned out, bored, and lacking direction in his life. Like most people at some point, he dreamed of packing it all in and running away from home. However, unlike most people, he actually did (after asking his mom to help him pack that is). Hitchy Feet is one man’s hilarious account of hitchhiking 15,000 kilometers around Australia in search of adventure and a new way of thinking about life. Along the way he encounters the strangest collection of people (including nude walkers), has abuse hurled at him from passing cars, is introduced to the thrills of riding on the roof of a ute at 75 miles an hour, drinks too much beer, eats a lot of bananas, and somehow keeps antag- onizing people. In the process, he discovers the unexpected generosity of ordinary Australians, reignites his own passion for life—and creates an unforgettable and ultimately uplifting story. John Card is a former high school science teacher. Travel/Memoir • 224 Pages • 6 x 8.5 9781925048179 • October • $17.95 (Can $21.95) Paper • Rights: US & Canada Finch Publishing

185 Thunder and Sunshine Around the World by Bike, Part Two: Riding Home from Patagonia Alastair Humphreys Follow Alastair Humphreys on his epic bike trip around the world, as he travels from South Africa to the UK, going through South and North America, Siberia in winter, Japan, and back through China, central Asia, and Europe Alastair Humphreys cycled around the world—a journey of 46,000 miles. This inspiring story traces the second leg of his travels—the length of South and North America, the breadth of Asia, and back across Europe, crossing the mountains and salt-flats of South America, canoeing the Five-Finger Rapids of the Yukon River, and braving a Siberian Winter with only the flimsiest tent to protect him from the elements. Alastair Humphreys left England in August of 2001 to cycle round the world. After more than 1,500 days and 46,000 miles, spanning five continents and 60 countries, he arrived home, having spent his student loans (which funded the entire trip). His journey, as well as a quest for adventure, helped to raise the profile of the charity Hope and Homes for Children. When scores of people have visited the Poles and £30,000 is needed to get up Everest, Alastair’s expedition was refreshingly original. Alone on the road for four years, in countries few people visit, Alastair survived on a total of just £7,000. This was an expedition of self-belief and optimism rather than satellite hook-ups and lucrative sponsorship. Also available: Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, author, blogger, and motivational speaker who was named as one of National Geographic’s Adventurers of the Year for 2012. He is the author of Blue Mountains, The Boy Who Biked the World, Moods of Future Joys, and Ten Lessons from the Road.

The Great Sicilian Cat Rescue One Englishwoman’s Mission to Save an Island’s Cats Jennifer Pulling One woman goes to great lengths to save the feral cat populations of Sicily, learning much about the culture and people along the way Numerous visitors to Mediterranean countries have found their holiday punctuated by trips to feed hungry feral cats. Some try to save injured and sick felines. Not many have gone to the lengths of Jenny Pulling with her one-woman campaign, Catsnip. Set against the beautiful and sinister backdrop of Sicily and its enigmatic people, the book charts Jenny’s journey as passionate defender of the island’s often abused and ill-treated cats. With no previous experience, she raises funds and organizes teams of British, American, and German vets to work in improvised and clandestine surgeries. On Jenny’s voyage of discovery she encounters the wonderfully eccentric gattare (cat ladies) who devote their time to saving colonies of feral cats; she challenges Sicilian bureaucracy and risks prosecution by the authorities, unwittingly transporting veterinary but illegal drugs from the UK; and she discovers an unknown Sicily, beautiful but scarred by years of domination. Lighthearted but often incredibly moving, this is the story of one woman’s mission to rescue an animal she loves, as well as an insight into a unique culture and landscape. Jennifer Pulling is a writer, playwright, and journalist who has worked for the Guardian and the Telegraph. Her plays include End of Story and Swallow, and she is the author of The Best of Taormina, The Caring Trap, and Feasting and Fasting.

And his time at the zoo didn’t get any less strange or entertaining. There’s the time he anesthetized, and was then chased by, a gorilla; had to capture an angry polar bear in thick fog; performed a colostomy on a python; and fitted a raven in the Tower of London with a wooden leg. And if an animal escaped (more frequently than you might think) or required urgent medical attention, he was always on hand, ready for any eventuality. With his self-deprecating humor, Oliver frequently described himself as quaking with fear, but he was also skillful, brave, and, most of all, incredibly caring and kind to his animal patients. Oliver Graham Jones became London Zoo’s first inhouse veterinary officer and curator of mam- mals in 1951, and worked there for 15 years, before leaving to become a lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College. Desmond Morris is a zoologist, accomplished artist, TV presenter, film maker, and writer. He is the author of The Naked Ape, The Naked Man, The Naked Woman, and Peoplewatching.

From Ox Cart to Email The Kenya Story of Delia Craig Natasha Breed This captivating biography spans the 100-year history of the Lewa Wildlife Conservatory, a wildlife sanctuary in Kenya Today a thriving wildlife sanctuary and safari destination, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, in the heart of Kenya, began life almost 100 years ago as a plot of black cotton soil and tangled savannah parceled out to a British immigrant from South Africa. This is the compelling true story of life at Lewa, from its early days as a family ranch to its current success as a globally recognized wildlife conservancy—notably, of the endangered black rhinoceros. Two remarkable women are at the heart of this book: Elizabeth Cross and her daughter, Delia Craig.

192 Cat Walk Jackie Morris Introduction by Tom Cox A beautiful exploration in photographs of the walks the author takes with her cats along their local Pembrokeshire coast It’s about walking, but not really covering distance. The same paths are travelled, but each time the light, the season, the thoughts inside make it different. It does have something to do with the character of cats, but also to do with writing, looking, seeing, being in a place. Author, illustrator, and photographer Jackie Morris explores her native Pem- brokeshire in the company of her feline friends—or rather, they explore the countryside while she tags along taking pictures. More than 100 photos with diary notes tell the story of many walks with many cats. Challenging perceptions and rearranging priorities, Jackie’s insightful poetry and prose allows a glimpse of a world in which cat is king and nature its subject. Ordered and regulated by season, you will find that, although the landscape of Cat Walk may be familiar, what is seen is most certainly different. Jackie Morris’s books are published in 17 languages. She is the editor and illustrator of The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems and the author and illustrator of The Snow Leopard and Tell Me a Dragon. Tom Cox has written articles, reviews, and features for Esquire, the Guardian, the Observer, the Telegraph, and the Times. He is the author of The Lost Tribes of Pop, Talk to the Tail, and Under the Paw.

Based on his surveys of the Anglo-Welsh border country, Alfred Watkins believed that in ancient times the country was crisscrossed by a network of straight-line travel routes, with prominent features of the landscape used as navigation points. Watkins’s theories have intrigued and inspired generations of readers, from historians to hill walkers, and from amateur archeologists to new-age occultists. This new edition, with a substantial introduction by Robert Macfarlane, and retaining Watkins’s original atmospheric black-and-white photographs, introduces a classic antiquarian text to a 21st-century audience. It will appeal to all who treasure the history, the contours, and the mystery of ancient landscapes. Alfred Watkins (1855–1935) was an archaeologist, an antiquarian, and an author who coined the term “ley.” Robert Macfarlane is the prize-winning author of The Old Ways and The Wild Places.

Landmarks Robert MacFarlane #1 bestseller on the UK Sunday Times list, from the acclaimed author of The Old Ways

“A magnificent meditation on walking and writing. An astonishingly haunted book.” —Daily Telegraph on The Old Ways “The Old Ways sets the imagination tingling . . . it is like reading a prose Odyssey sprinkled with imagist poems.” —Sunday Times on The Old Ways “A wonderful book—literally a book full of wonders. He has a poet’s eye and a prose style that will make many a novelist burn with envy.” —Observer on The Old Ways Words are grained into our landscapes, and landscapes are grained into our words. Land- marks is about the power of language to shape our sense of place. It is a field guide to the literature of nature, and a glossary containing thousands of remarkable words used in En- gland, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales to describe land, nature, and weather. Traveling from Cumbria to the Cairngorms, and exploring the landscapes of Roger Deakin, J. A. Baker, Nan Shepherd, and others, Robert Macfarlane shows that language, well used, is a keen way of knowing landscape, and a vital means of coming to love it. Robert Macfarlane won the Guardian First Book Award, the Somerset Maugham Award, and the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award for Mountains of the Mind. He is also the author of The Wild Places, which was adapted for the BBC, and The Old Ways, which was joint winner of the Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award, and shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize.

Imagination & a Pile of Junk A Droll History of Inventors and Inventions Trevor Norton A celebration of the extraordinary people who created the modern world, spiced with anecdotes and wit and woven with a seductive mix of eureka moments and disasters Although inventors were often scientists or engineers, many were not: Samuel Morse (Morse code) was a painter, Lazlow Biro (ballpoint pen) was a sculptor and hypnotist, and Logie Baird (TV) sold boot polish. The inventor of the automatic telephone switchboard was an undertaker who believed the operator was diverting his calls to rival morticians so he decided to make all telephone operators redundant. Inventors are mavericks indifferent to conventional wisdom, so critics were dismissive of even their best ideas: radio had “no future,” the electric light was “an idiotic idea,” and X-rays were “a hoax.” Even so, the state of New Jersey moved to ban X-ray opera glasses. The head of the General Post Office rejected telephones as unnecessary as there were “plenty of small boys to run messages.” Some inventions were almost stillborn; the first vacuum cleaner was horse drawn on a cart. The first zippers didn’t zip. It often took a while for great inventions to be exploited. Transistors languished in hearing aids for 10 years before they transformed radios. 20 years after anesthetics were invented some hospitals in Britain were still operating without them, and vaccination (“a giant delusion”) had to wait almost a century before it was fully accepted. Even the inventor didn’t always know the real use of their discovery. Edison designed the phonograph for dictation, not to play music. Nobel thought his dynamite would bring about world peace. Norton answers such burning questions as “How did embroidery save thousands of lives?” and “Why did it take a World War to get women to wear bras?” Inventomania is a magical place where eccentrics are always in season and their stories are usually unbelievable—but rest assured, nothing here has been invented. Trevor Norton is a marine biologist and the author of Reflections on a Summer Sea, Stars Beneath the Sea, and Underwater to Get Out of the Rain.

Now time for the first outing of a brand, spanking new feature here on The Incomplete and Utter History of Classical Music . . . putting some unsuspecting figure in music under the spotlight. Stephen Fry presents a brilliantly rambling 700-year history of classical music and the world as we know it. Along this musical journey he casually throws in references to pretty much whatever takes his fancy, from the Mongol invasion of Russia and Mr. Khan (Genghis to his friends), the founding of the MCC, the Black Death (which once again became the new black in England), to the heady revolutionary atmosphere of Mozart’s Don Giovanni and the deep doo-doo that Louis XVI got into (or “du-du” as the French would say). It’s all here—Ambrose and early English plainsong, Bach, Mozart (beloved of mobile phones everywhere), Beethoven, Debussy, Wagner (the old romantic), right up to the present day. Entertaining and brilliantly written, this is a pretty reckless romp of a history through classical music and much much more. Sephen Fry is an actor, screenwriter, comedian, and director who is well-known for his collaborations with Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster, his appearances in such films as Alice in Wonderland and Gosford Park, and his recurring guest role on Bones. His previous titles include The Liar, Making History, The Moab is My Washpot, The Ode Less Travelled, Re- venge, and Stephen Fry in America. Tim Lihoreau regularly writes with Stephen Fry and is the award-winning scriptwriter for the Classic FM radio show The Incomplete & Utter History of Classical Music. He is also creative director for Classic FM. Music/Humor • 320 Pages • 5 x 8 9780752265582 • October • $23.95 (NCR) Cloth • Rights: US • Boxtree

Auld Lang Syne Words to Songs You Used to Know Karen Dolby Never again let a half-remembered, memory-laden tune fade back into the recesses of your mind, only able to recall a piece of melody or chorus Our memories are bursting with half-remembered songs. They stick with us in a way that no other words do. Just the first few notes of a tune can bring a sports stadium full of people to their feet, or kindle memories of starlit nights around a campfire, or remind us of a bedtime lullaby soothing us to sleep. But so often after those first few lines we’re left humming until the chorus comes back in. Now, with this little book, you need never miss a line again. Inside you’ll find beloved songs from across the English-speaking world, including tunes from Aus- tralia (“Waltzing Matilda”), America (“He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”), Canada (“She’s Like the Swallow”), and Ireland (“Whiskey in the Jar” and “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”), as well as the UK (“Greensleeves” and “London Bridge Is Falling Down”). There are lesser-known gems listed among the firm favorites, which are accompanied by short text explaining the origins and stories behind the lyrics. Celebrating the wonderful variety of songs, shanties, ballads, ditties, and anthems that wind through our lives and bring us together, Auld Lang Syne is a timeless collection for all to cherish. Karen Dolby is a freelance editor and the author of History’s Naughty Bits, and Oranges and Lemons: Rhymes from Past Times.

• Late 2015 sees the release of the crowdfunded Theory of Obscurity film about the group, which premiered at SXSW and will roll around the festival circuit for the rest of the year, taking interest in the band to new levels Since their inception in the early 1970s, the Residents have confused, confounded, and de- lighted fans and critics for more than 40 years. Shrouded in anonymity, the band has charted a course with no beginning and no end that has taken them to the outer limits of entertainment and audience expectations. From their debut Santa Dog single, through warped sonic tributes ranging from the Beatles to Hank Williams, mysterious recordings made among the Inuit, iconic eyeball imagery, and collections of one minute songs to jaw-dropping live shows, innovations in audio visual technologies and social media, conceptual albums and tours, abandoned film projects and eventual semi de-masking to reveal the slightly unsettling Randy Rose, the band is unquestionably one of pop’s most innovative acts. Never Known Questions delves deep into the Residents’ psyche, charting their rise from cottage industry imagineers to art pop figureheads and exploring 40 plus years of chameleonic musical adventures, along with the lore and legend that has built up around the group. It covers such questions as Were they really Talking Heads and Brian Eno in disguise? What is a Cryptic Corporation? Who was Nigel Senada? Did they really forget about recording an album? How’s Randy doing now? And what kind of a band sells a fridge full of records for $100,000 anyway? Ian Shirley is a music journalist whose features and reviews have appeared in a wide range of publications, from the Times to Record Collector magazine. He has also published three novels, as well as several biographies of bands, including Bauhaus, Pink Floyd, and Green Day. He is currently the editor of Record Collector’s Rare Record Price Guide and also runs the magazine’s vinyl reissue label.

Motherless Child The Definitive Biography of Eric Clapton Paul Scott An insightful look into the inspiring and often turbulent life and career of Eric Clapton Motherless Child is the ultimate celebration and definitive biography of one of the most influential musicians alive today. From the 1960s graffiti proclaiming “Clapton is God,” to his seminal work in supergroup Cream and his phenomenally successful solo career, Eric Clapton has achieved the status of bona fide living legend and enduring icon. Now in his sixth decade in the music business, he occupies an exulted position at the pinnacle of the rock world thanks to songs such as Layla, Tears in Heaven, and Wonderful Tonight, and for many is considered the greatest guitarist who ever lived. This book charts his rise to stardom in the 1960s and his unparalleled success since walking out of the Yardbirds as a 20-year-old to follow his chosen path of the blues with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and later with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in supergroup Cream, as well as his successful solo career. However, his success has come at a price. Once a happy well-adjusted boy, the young Clapton was devastated by the realization at the age of nine that the woman he thought was his sister was in fact his mother, and that the couple he thought were his parents were his maternal grandparents. His treatment by his mother was also to shape his future turbulent relationships with the women in his life, including his failed first marriage to model Pattie Boyd, who was married to Clapton’s close friend George Harrison when he fell for her. Motherless Child also chronicles his battles with the demons of drugs and alcohol, his successful journey to sobriety, and examines his legacy as one of the most influential musicians of his generation. This is essential reading for any Clapton fan. Paul Scott writes regularly for the entertainment section of the Daily Mail. He is also the author of biographies of Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow.

205 Lou Reed The Life Mick Wall A biography of the songwriter, Velvet Underground member, and musician, from the author of When Giants Walked the Earth Rock ‘n’ roll was Lou Reed’s life. From recording one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time with The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967), to heavy drug abuse and performing in front of the Pope, Lou Reed’s story is one of great peaks and deep lows. Forever dedicated to his art, he became one of modern music’s most legendary and seismic figures. Although a controversial, outspoken, and undoubtedly misunderstood musician, Lou Reed’s influence on popular culture cannot be overstated. He brought avant-garde to the mainstream with the Velvet Underground and his solo work was pronounced a revelation. Hit albums such as Transformer, Sally Can’t Dance, and Berlin have cemented his name in the rock pantheon. A testament to his strength of character and true spirit, he was a creative and performer until the end, playing benefit gigs, featuring on new releases, and, most poignantly, declaring that he was looking forward to “being on stage performing, and writing more songs to connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future.” A true icon of rock ‘n’ roll, his legacy will live on in this book. Mick Wall was the founding editor of Classic Rock magazine. He is the author of numerous bestselling music titles, including When Giants Walked the Earth and W.A.R.: The Unau- thorized Biography.

Some Kind of Hero The Remarkable Story of the James Bond Films Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury Forewords by Guy Hamilton and John Glen The first biography of the making of the James Bond series, drawing on hundreds of unpublished interviews with the cast and crew

• Spectre, the 24th film in the James Bond series, starring Daniel Craig and Christoph Waltz, will be released on November 6, 2015 For over 50 years, Albert R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions has navigated the ups and downs of the volatile British film industry, enduring both critical wrath and acclaim in equal measure for its now legendary James Bond series. Latterly, this family-run business has been crowned with box office gold and recognized by motion picture academies around the world. However, it has not always been smooth sailing. Changing tax regimes forced 007 to relocate to France and Mexico; changing fashions and politics led to box office disappointments; and changing studio regimes and business disputes all but killed the franchise while the rise of competing action heroes displaced Bond’s place in popular culture. But against all odds the filmmakers continue to wring new life from the series, and 2012’s Skyfall saw both huge critical and commercial success, crowning 007 as the undisputed king of the action genre. Some Kind of Hero recounts this remarkable story, from its origins in the early 1960s right through to the present day, and draws on hundreds of unpublished interviews with the cast and crew of this iconic series.

210 Studio Ghibli The Films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata Second edition Colin Odell and Michelle Le Blanc The first English language book about Studio Ghibli, now updated to include The Wind Rises

“An excellent overview.” —Library Journal “One of the most authoritative texts available. Whether you’re a newcomer or a long- time fan, Studio Ghibli is well worth a read.” —SciFi Now The animations of Japan’s Studio Ghibli are among the highest regarded in the movie industry. Their delightful films rank alongside the most popular non-English language films ever made, with each new eagerly-anticipated release a guaranteed box-office smash. Yet this highly profitable studio has remained fiercely independent, producing a stream of imaginative and individual animations. The studio’s founders, long-time animators Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, have created timeless masterpieces. Although their films are distinctly Japanese their themes are universal: humanity, community, and a love for the environment. No other film studio, animation or otherwise, comes close to matching Ghibli for pure cinematic experience. All their major works are examined here, as well the early output of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, exploring the cultural and thematic threads that bind these films together Colin Odell is a freelance author and film critic. He has contributed to Wallflower Press’s Alter Image and The Greenwood Ency- clopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy. He is an editor and contributor to the online film review salon www.Kamera.co.uk and Vector magazine. Michelle Le Blanc is a freelance author and film critic. They are the coauthors of books about John Carpenter, Tim Burton, horror films, Jackie Chan, and vampire films.

Carnal To the Point of Scandal Kevin Jackson A veritable multiverse of odd scribblings, encompassing forgotten British filmmakers, cartoons and comic strips, rigorous French theorists, the occult, street art, and internationally renowned photographers, presented in playful essays that are at-once compulsively readable and formally sophisticated

“A sumptuous source of amusement or contemplation.” —Booklist “A near-perfect summer book.” —New York Times “Almost every page yields something momentous or surprising or worth remembering, and the multitudinous footnotes, of which Jackson is a gleeful exploiter, add to the fun. Elegant and illuminating.” —Literary Review I have heard it plausibly suggested that were the last 1,000 years of Western literary culture, and all of its cinematographic culture, to disappear from the earth, one of the things you’d need to be able to recreate it would be the contents of Kevin Jackson’s brain. Quite true; and it would moreover be a very interesting kind of Western culture: maybe a bit more vampire-heavy, more geared towards the esoteric than the canon has traditionally admitted; for although clearly a child of the Enlightenment, he has none of the disdain of the superstitious and (to use a word that he borrowed off the late John Peel, when the DJ imagined how George W. Bush might mangle the word “spooky”) enspookulating that often comes with the territory. Kevin Jackson is the author of A Ruskin Alphabet and How to Be Rich, a comic book version of Ruskin’s Unto This Last.

211 Michelangelo His Epic Life Martin Gayford A new biography of Michelangelo by the acclaimed author of Man with a Blue Scarf and The Yellow House

“An absorbing book, beautifully told and with the writer fully in command of a huge body of research.” —Mail on Sunday “Thoughtful and moving . . . one of the most instructive books I’ve ever read about art.” —New York Times Book Review on Man with a Blue Scarf There was an epic sweep to Michelangelo’s life. At 31 he was considered the finest artist in Italy, perhaps the world; long before he died at almost 90 he was widely believed to be the greatest sculptor or painter who had ever lived (and, by his enemies, to be an arrogant, uncouth, swindling miser). For decade after decade, he worked near the dynamic center of events: the vortex at which European history was changing from Renaissance to Counter Reformation. Few of his works—including the huge frescoes of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, the marble giant David, and the Last Judgment—were small or easy to accomplish. Like a hero of classical mythology, such as Hercules, whose statue Michelangelo carved in his youth, he was subject to constant trials and labors. Here Martin Gayford describes what it felt like to be Michelangelo Buonarroti, and how he transformed forever our notion of what an artist could be. Martin Gayford has been art critic of the Spectator and the Sunday Telegraph and is currently chief European art critic for Bloomberg. He is the author of A Bigger Message: Conversations with David Hockney; Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lu- cian Freud; and The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles, and the coeditor of The Grove Book of Art Writing.

Memoir of Vincent Van Gogh Jo van Gogh-Bonger This biography on Vincent van Gogh, written by his sister-in-law, who devoted her life to the preservation and exhibition of his paintings after the artist’s death Vincent van Gogh’s short, passionate life was driven by an almost unimaginable creative energy that eventually overwhelmed him. The outlines of his story—the early strivings in Holland and Paris, the revelatory impact of the move to Provence, the attacks of madness that led ineluctably to his suicide—are almost as familiar as the paintings. Few, however, knew Van Gogh as well as his sister-in-law. After Vincent’s death and that of her husband, his brother Theo, Jo van Gogh-Bonger devoted her life to preserving and exhibiting his paintings, and editing his letters. It is thanks to her tireless work that Vincent’s greatness as an artist (and indeed as a writer) came to be acknowledged. Jo’s short biography of Vincent is perhaps the closest we can come to Vincent the man, as seen by those who knew him. Jo van Gogh-Bonger (1862–1925) was the wife of Vincent van Gogh’s brother, Theo. She was an art dealer whose efforts helped bring Vincent’s works into the public eye.

212 LIVES OF THE ARTISTS SERIES

Lives of Veronese Giorgio Vasari, Raffaele Borghini, and Carlo Ridolfi Introduction by Xavier F. Salomon The painter Veronese’s life is here displayed in several early biographies, each showcasing a different side of the artist “Never was a painter more nobly joyous, never did an artist take a greater delight in life, seeing it all as a kind of breezy festival and feeling it through the medium of perpetual success. . . . He was the happiest of painters.” —Henry James on Veronese, 1909 Collected here for the first time, these fascinating early biographies (one of which has never been translated before) describe and celebrate the astonishingly fertile art of Paolo Veronese. Most of what we know about Veronese comes from these three essays. “I have known this Paolino and I have seen his beautiful works. He deserves to have a great volume written in praise of him, for his pictures prove that he is second to no other painter,” wrote Veronese’s contemporary Annibale Carracci in the margins to his copy of Vasari’s writings, continuing “and this fool passes over him in four lines. And just because he was not Florentine.” It was indeed a measure of his fame that Vasari, whose Life of Veronese is reprinted here, should have overcome his pro-Tuscan prejudices to write about his great Venetian contemporary; and he was followed in this by another Florentine, the theorist Raffaele Borghini. But the most striking record of the impact of Veronese’s art on his countrymen is the extensive biography by his fellow Venetian, Carlo Ridolfi. Entirely original in the seriousness and passion with which he approached his subject, Ridolfi permanently changed the course of writing about art. This is the first translation of his work into English, translated and introduced by Xavier F. Salomon, curator of “Veronese: Renaissance Magnificence” at the National Gal- lery, London. The 50 pages of color illustrations cover the span of Veronese’s breathtaking career. Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574), painter, architect, and intimate of the Medici, was a leading exponent of the later renaissance style sometimes called Mannerism, which was heavily influenced by Michelangelo. His lasting monument, however, is undoubtedly The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, published in 1550 and in an enlarged edition in 1568. Raffaele Borghini (1537–1588) was an Italian playwright, poet, and art critic. Carlo Ridolfi (1594–1658) was an Italian art biographer and painter of the Baroque period. Xavier F. Salomon is the Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator at the Frick Collection in New York City. An expert on Paolo Veronese, he has previously worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dulwich Picture Gallery, and the National Gallery.

213 Marriage of Inconvenience Robert Brownell What really happened in the most scandalous love triangle of the 19th century—impotence and pubic hair, money and power, or some other reason, which until now has been suppressed?

“Robert Brownell weighed in with an enjoyably obsessive re-examination of the marriage of Effie and John Ruskin and the pubic hair question.” —Observer Books of the Year “Painstakingly researched and forensically detailed portrait of a doomed marriage. Brownell explores how its failure actually had much more to do with wider social mores, and especially with money.” —Sunday Times Effie Gray was an innocent victim of a male-dominated society, repressed and mistreated. Or was she? John Ruskin, the greatest art critic and social reformer of his time, was a callous misogynist and upholder of the patriarchy. Or was he? John Everett Millais, boy genius, rescued the heroine from the tyrannical clutches of the husband who left his wedding unconsummated for six years. Or did he? What really happened in the most scandalous love triangle of the 19th century? Was it all about impotence and pubic hair? Or was it about money, power, and freedom? If so, whose? And what possibilities were there for these young people caught in a world racked by social, financial, and political turmoil? The accepted story of the Ruskin marriage has never lost its fascination. History books, novels, television series, operas, and now a star-filled film by Emma Thomp- son have all followed this standard line. It seems to offer an easy take on the Victorians and how we have moved on. But the story isn’t true. In Marriage of Inconvenience Robert Brownell uses extensive documentary evidence—much of it never seen before, and much of it hitherto suppressed—to reveal a story no less fascinating and human, no less illuminating about the Victorians, and far more instructive about our own times, than the myths that have grown up about the most notorious marriage of the 19th century. Robert Brownell is a freelance writer and lecturer specializing in Victorian art and aesthetics, particularly Ruskin and Morris.

A Ruskin Alphabet Kevin Jackson This pocket-sized volume, with comprehensive entries ranging from art to zoology, the Middle Ages, pantomimes, Tolstoy, and usury, offers insight into the life of one of the 19th century’s most extraordinary men. “You may like to consult A Ruskin Alphabet by Kevin Jackson, a collection of facts and opinions on Ruskin and Ruskinites, together with a variety of pithy remarks from the man himself.” —Times Literary Supplement John Ruskin, author, art critic, architect, social commentator, was arguably the most influential Victorian of them all, with disciples ranging from Gandhi and Martin Luther King to Proust and Oscar Wilde. But his writings have been characterized as “glorious words, but too many,” and the volumes of his work can appear daunting. A Ruskin Alphabet is the perfect pocket-sized introduction to the exhilarating energy of his thought, and provides a unique insight into Ruskin’s life, works, and loves. Entries range from art to zoology via economics, nature, the Pathetic Fallacy, and more. It appeals both to Ruskin scholars and to those just discovering the work of this multi-faceted genius. It is the essential pocket-sized book on Ruskin. Kevin Jackson is a well-respected critic and journalist; a shorter version of this book appeared in the Independent followed by his Radio 3 program on Ruskin, People Be Good. He is also the author of The Worlds of John Ruskin. Biography • 64 Pages • 3.75 x 6 9781843680987 • December • $8.95 (Can $10.95) Paper • Rights: US & Canada Pallas Athene

214 Venice for Pleasure Ninth Revised Edition J. G. Links This walking guide for those taking in the cultural highlight of Venice is complete with paintings, photographs, and engravings that reveal how the city became what it is today “The best guide to Venice.” —Daily Telegraph

“This magic book . . . not only the best guide-book to that city ever written, but the best guide-book to any city ever written.” —Times “One of the most delightful and original guides ever.” —Country Life The simple object of this book, in the author’s own words, is to guide the reader to places he might otherwise miss and, having reached them, to tell him what he might wish to know and then leave him, preferably at a café, to admire, to enjoy, and perhaps be disappointed. The illustrations show the visitor, as he confronts a view, what his predecessors of 100, 200, or 500 years ago saw from the same point. Two sections of color plates have been added, showing how the beauty of Venice inspired the 18th-century view painters. The main part of the book describes four walks, each of which can be completed in one day. Maps, old and new, are provided for each walk. The introduction deals with the Piazza S. Marco and its neighborhood, and appendices are devoted to the public boat services, food, and drink, and books about Venice. One chapter is entitled “Venice for Children’s Pleasure.” J. G. Links (1904–1997) is the author of The Book of Fur, Canaletto, The Ruskins in Normandy, and Venice.

Description of the Villa at Strawberry Hill Horace Walpole Introduction by Stephen Clarke This depiction of Horace Walpole’s famous villa, where he wrote the world’s first Gothic horror novel, includes essays explaining the importance of such a portrayal Strawberry Hill, Horace Walpole’s “little castle” southwest of London, is the finest building in the Gothick style—the playful antiquarianism that flourished at the end of the 18th century. Here Walpole established his “Committee of Taste,” collected furiously, and wrote the first Gothic horror novel, The Castle of Otranto. Although the villa was popular with tourists from its inception, Walpole published this De- scription not so much as a guide to the building as a record of its design and of its bewilderingly rich contents. Only 30 copies were printed in Walpole’s lifetime, and many of these were kept for friends. This facsimile contains the final version of the text and the 26 engravings commissioned by Walpole as the definitive images of his paper castle: views of the house, the garden, the principal rooms, individual details of the decoration, and plans. In this second edition of the facsimile, a new introduction by Stephen Clarke, the leading scholar of Walpole’s writings about his house, illuminates the history and importance of the Description; and its relevance to restoration work today is highlighted in the foreword by Michael Snodin, Chairman of The Strawberry Hill Trust. Horace Walpole (1717–1797), 4th Earl of Orford, author, politician, architect, and man of taste, was one of the most brilliant figures of the Georgian age. His villa, Strawberry Hill, was the exemplar of Gothick taste, a counterpart to his novel, The Castle of Otranto. Stephen Clarke is the leading expert on Horace’s writings about his own architecture.

215 Looking at Manet Writings on Manet by Emile Zola Emile Zola and Robert Lethbridge Bringing together the groundbreaking criticism of Manet written by Emile Zola, this volume takes everything from his vigorous defense of the iconoclastic young painter to the memorial essay written after the artist’s untimely death “Time will succeed in classing him among the great workmen of this century who have given their life that truth might triumph.” —Zola on Manet, 1884 No one has written better on Manet than his friend Emile Zola, nor explained more clearly how modern art came into being through Manet’s genius. This volume collects all of Zola’s significant writings on Manet, from his passionate defense of the iconoclastic young painter to the essay written for the memorial exhibition after Manet’s untimely death. Manet’s career was surrounded by controversy almost from the very start. The hard-edged technique of his early works was not what Salon audiences expected, and when he started painting subjects as uncompromising as the unclothed picnicker in the Déjeuner sur l’herbe or the aggressively naked young courtesan in Olympia, with her suggestive cat, Paris was outraged. Such scandal was grist to the mill of his friend, the great Realist novelist Emile Zola. Zola’s vigorous polemic in Manet’s defense is justly famous as one of the finest writings on art of the 19th century. Manet thanked Zola by painting his portrait, which the novelist commemorated in a further essay; and when Manet died at the early age of 51, Zola wrote a moving summation of his life’s work. All these writings are included in this volume, which is introduced by the Zola specialist Robert Lethbridge. Emile Zola (1840–1902) was the leading writer of the Realist school, most famous for his series of 20 social novels, Les Rou- gon-Macquart. His passionate engagement with liberal politics led to his decisive intervention in the Dreyfus affair in 1898, the letter “J’accuse . . . !” Robert Lethbridge is master of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, honorary professor of French at the University of Cambridge, emeritus professor of French language and literature in the University of London. He has written extensively on Zola and on the relationship of literature and the arts in 19th-century France. He was made Chevalier des Palmes Academiques in 1998.

William Wilkins Paintings and Drawings David Fraser Jenkins William Wilkins, artist, horticulturist, and philanthropist, is celebrated in this large format book by past Tate Gallery curator David Fraser Jenkins

“There is something very original in his work—a purity of tone that sets his paintings apart from anything else that they may seem at first glance to resemble. His eye is utterly flawless in its analysis of the light that forms his principal subject matter and his hand is unfaltering in rendering it. The result is a series of small pictures that add up to a triumph of the painter’s art.” —New York Times on Wilkins The work of William Wilkins is unique, both in the level of skill it displays and the length of time it occupies. In his foreword Chair of Welsh National Op- era Geraint Talfan Davies said, “Born of months, even years, of painstaking creation each picture exudes both artistry and joy; a celebration of perception which merits exposure to a wide audience.” Focusing upon his remarkable pointillist technique this book represents the long and celebrated career of the artist together with the maturation of his style. The book also includes an introduction by Geraint Talfan Davies and a biographical essay by David Moore. William Wilkins trained at Swansea College of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s he had a series of sensationally successful exhibitions in leading New York and London galleries. Awarded the CBE in 2003 for services to the environment, William has been a vital figure in the development of Welsh gardens, founding the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust. David Fraser Jenkins is an art historian and former senior curator at the Tate Gallery. His previous titles include Gwen John and Augustus John and John Piper: The Forties.

Shepard Compiled by James Campbell Foreword by Minette Shepard A unique WWI narrative told through the drawings and writings of the man who later illustrated Winnie-the-Pooh and The Wind in the Willows Ernest Howard Shepard was born in London in 1879 into an artistic and literary family, and studied art from an early age. Best known as an illustrator and cartoonist, particularly in the period between the World Wars I and II, he was a political cartoonist for Punch, and a prolific illustrator of books. Shepard is most widely known for his illustrations of the Winnie-the-Pooh children’s book series by A. A. Milne and The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, and these drawings have become classics in their own right, iconic in the minds of children and adults everywhere. Shepard’s War is a personal, illustrated narrative of World War I, seen through the mainly unpublished contemporary drawings, illustrations, and written commentary of E. H. Shepard. With hundreds of original sketches ranging from caricatures of Shepard’s fellow officers to technical drawings, and commentary from Shepard’s own wartime notebooks and diaries, this is a unique insight into the life of an incredibly talented yet humble man. Providing a uniquely visual journey through two vastly different, although often strikingly similar, stories, the reader engages with World War I and Shepard’s life on an intimate and thought-provoking level. E. H. Shepard (1879–1976) was an English artist best known for his illustrations of The Wind in the Willow and Winnie-the-Pooh. James Campbell has worked for a number of sustainability and environmental organizations for more than 20 years. He is married to E. H. Shepard’s great-granddaughter and has had responsibility for the oversight of E. H. Shepard’s artistic and literary estate since 2010. Minette Shepard is E. H. Shepard’s granddaughter.

IMAGES OF NATURE

Bauer Brothers Paul Martyn Cooper A beautiful study of the lives and art of two of the greatest botanical illustrators of all time The art of Franz and Ferdinand Bauer was praised by the poet and botanist Johann Goethe as the perfect expression of the aims of botanical illustration. This book examines the contrasting lives of Franz (1758–1840), who for 50 years was the resident artist at London’s Kew Gardens and Ferdinand (1760–1826) who led a life of travel and adventure as a natural history artist including participating in the voyage to Australia of HMS Investigator (1801– 1805). It is illustrated with images from the superb archive of Bauer drawings at the Natural History Museum Library, many of which have never been published. These include beautiful and finely detailed watercolors of flowering plants collected from across the world, pioneering microscopical drawings of plant anatomy, and pictures of the newly discovered animals from the coasts of Australia. Paul Martyn Cooper is a special collections librarian at the Natural History Museum where he has worked for 28 years. His work has focused on the ac- quisition and curation of the life sciences literature. Since 2011 he has had a special responsibility for artwork, manuscripts, and rare books.

217 An Anthology of Mine Rex Whistler A stunning boxed set facsimile edition of the “little anthology” of favorite poems compiled and illustrated by Rex Whistler, with his friend Stephen Tennant, in his years as a student at the Slade School of Art

“An artist whose supreme gift was to delight and entertain, and an attractive and worldly figure whose talent combined sophistication and innocence with a natural humor that defies solemn analysis.” —Michael Ratcliffe Every page of this anthology shows Rex Whistler’s new-found delight in verse of a romantic kind: Poe, Keats, Marvell, de la Maare, Emily Dickinson, Shelley, Tennyson, Gray, Edith Sit- well, and others. But, though serious about the poems, he could not, being Rex Whistler, deny himself flippancy on a title page, or in a penciled comment added to Keats’ woebegone knight- at-arms. Whistler made this earliest of all his illustrated books for his own pleasure. It was first published almost 60 years after Whistler compiled it, by Hamish Hamilton in 1981, and has been long out of print. This splendid new edition is as alive with the youthful pleasure that first inspired the bright colored margins in 1923. Presented in a clothbound slipcase, this is a unique gift for Whistler aficionados and poetry lovers alike. Rex Whistler (1905–1944) was one of the most intriguing artists of the interwar years. His work encompassed all areas of art and design, from set design for opera, ballet, and the West End theater to book illustration. He painted moving and memorable portraits, of people and of their houses. And he was the outstanding mural painter of his day. As a 20-year-old student at the Slade School he painted a mural which an still be seen on the walls of the restaurant at Tate Britain. At the outbreak of World War II he volunteered to serve in the army. He became a dedicated tank commander in the Guards Armoured Division. He was killed in Normandy on July 18, 1944.

228 My Shed and How It Was Built 50 Inspiring Sheds and Their Owners Donato Cinicolo A book for anyone who has a shed, a back garden, or a space big enough to put one up This book offers those who may be thinking of building their own shed practical constructional advice and use of materials; all of the sheds in the book have actually been built, and are not just ideas. It contains interesting stories about the shed owners and how they overcame problems or how they found unusual, cheap solutions (such as the use of old printing plates for roofing). Each shed, and its contents, gives an interesting insight into its owner’s character. Donato Cinicolo is a professional photographer. When living in an old 17th-century building that required a lot of maintenance, he had to learn traditional skills like wattle and daub plastering. It proved to be both enjoyable and very satisfying, so much so that neighbors began asking Donato to build them a bespoke little building. Most of the techniques employed are traditional carpentry skills, mixed with some foraging. To date, Donato has made more than a dozen sheds, three of which are in his own back garden.

Osbert Lancaster’s Principles of Architecture Includes Pillar to Post, Homes Sweet Homes and Drayneflete Revealed Osbert Lancaster A beautiful boxed-set containing three long out-of-print and influential books by the great British humorist, Sir Osbert Lancaster Pillar to Post, the story of architecture through the ages, takes us in words and pictures from the Egypt of the pyramids to Twentieth Century Functional (by way of Stockbroker’s Tudor and By-Pass Variegated). First published in 1938, it was described by Gavin Stamp as “One of the most influential books on architecture ever published.” Homes Sweet Homes, first published in 1939, is a history of architectural interiors, and a sequel to Pillar to Post. It gives full scope to Lancaster’s genius for showing people in their settings: the carousing Normans in the commu- nal hall; the cocktail-drinking couple in Curzon Street Baroque; the First Russian Ballet lady outstretched on her day bed; the Cultured Cottage couple in their Arts & Crafts Interior. First published in 1949, Drayneflete Revealed traces the development of one particularly typical (invented) English town. Starting from its muddy Saxon origins—the Fleet River is the ancient river that runs in sewers under the City of London—it follows the changing fortunes of the architectural development from village to small city and the foibles and fashions of the inhabitants. Osbert Lancaster (1908–1986) was a painter, a writer, a cartoonist, a theater designer, an authority on architecture and design, and above all a great British humorist. His pocket cartoons depicting the aristocratic Maudie Littlehampton, her family and friends, which appeared in the Daily Express for 40 years, recorded in his inimitably English way the life, news, and opinions of the period. His books on architecture and design were as witty as they were authoritative: in them he depicted buildings and interiors with an unerring instinct for the minutiae of stylistic change and recreated with irrepressible humor the way of life of the original inhabitants.

233 SPQR: A Roman Miscellany Anthony Everitt and Roddy Ashworth From the acclaimed author of Augustus, Cicero, and The Rise of Rome, an entertaining and richly informative miscellany of facts about Rome and the Roman world

“Gripping . . . Everitt combines a classical education with practical expertise.” —New York Times on Augustus “Everitt writes for the informed and the uninformed general reader alike, in a brisk, conversational style, with a modern attitude of skepticism and realism.” —Dallas Morning News on Rise of Rome SPQR: Senatus Populusque Romanus. Do you know to what use the Romans put the excre- ment of the kingfisher? Or why a dinner party invitation from the emperor Domitian was such a terrifying prospect? Or why Roman women smelled so odd? The answers to these questions can be found in this compendium of extraordinary facts and anecdotes about ancient Rome and its Empire. The 500-odd entries range across every area of Roman life and society, from the Empress Livia’s cure for tonsillitis to the most reliable Roman methods of contraception. Anthony Everitt is the author of Augustus: The Life of Rome’s First Emperor, Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome’s Greatest Politician, and The Rise of Rome.

Charles I An Abbreviated Life Mark Kishlansky The most despised monarch in Britain’s historical memory The tragedy of Charles I dominates one of the most strange and painful periods in British history as the whole island tore itself apart over a deadly, entangled series of religious and political disputes. In Mark Kishlansky’s brilliant account it is never in doubt that Charles created his own catastrophe, but he was nonetheless opposed by men with far fewer scruples. This is a remarkable portrait of one of the most talented, thoughtful, loyal, moral, artistically alert, and yet, somehow, disastrous of all of England’s rulers. Mark Kishlansky is Frank Baird Jr Professor of History at Harvard University and one of the world’s leading scholars on Stuart England. He is the author of A Monarchy Transformed, the 17th-century volume in the Penguin History of England series. 144 Pages • 9 Color Illustrations • 9780141979830 Edward VI The Last Boy King Stephen Alford The Peter Pan of English monarchy Edward VI, the only son of Henry VIII, became king at the age of nine and died wholly unexpectedly at the age of 15. All around him loomed powerful men who hoped to use the child to further their own ends, but who were also playing a long game. Stephen Alford’s wonderful book gives full play to the murky, sinister nature of Edward’s reign, but is also a poignant account of a boy learning to rule, to enjoy his growing power, and to come out of the shadows of the great aristocrats around him. England’s last child monarch, Edward would have led his country in a quite different direction to the catastrophic one caused by his death. Stephen Alford is the author of The Watchers: A Secret History of the Reign of Elizabeth I. 112 Pages • 10 Color Illustrations • 9780141976914

George V The Unexpected King David Cannadine The king who was the present Queen’s grandfather, and hoped that one day she’d inherit the throne For a man with such conventional tastes and views, George V had a revolutionary impact. Al- most despite himself he marked a decisive break with his flamboyant predecessor Edward VII, inventing the modern monarchy, with its emphasis on frequent public appearances, family values, and duty. George V was an effective war-leader and inventor of “the House of Windsor.” In an era of ever greater media coverage, George became a universally recognized figure. He was also the only British monarch to take his role as Emperor of India seriously. While his great rivals (Tsar Nicolas and Kaiser Wilhelm) ended their reigns in catastrophe, he plodded on. David Cannadine’s sparkling account of his reign is a masterclass in how to write about Monarchy. David Cannadine is chair of the National Portrait Gallery. His major books include The Rise and Fall of the British Aristocracy, Ornamentalism, and Mellon: A Life. 144 Pages • 7 B/W Photos • 4 Color Illustrations • 9780141976891

George VI The Dutiful King Philip Ziegler A dutiful king and reluctant public figure If Ethelred was notoriously “Unready” and Alfred “Great,” King George VI should bear the title of “George the Dutiful.” Throughout his life, George dedicated himself to the pursuit of what he thought he ought to be doing rather than what he wanted to do. Inarticulate and loathing any sort of public appearances, he accepted that it was his destiny to figure conspicuously in the public eye, gritted his teeth, battled his crippling stammer, and got on with it. He was not born to be king, but he made an admirable one, and was the figurehead of the nation at the time of its greatest trial, World War II. This is a brilliant, touching, and sometimes funny book about this reluctant public figure, and the private man. Philip Ziegler is the author of the authorized biographies of Mountbatten, Harold Wilson, and Edward Heath. His other books include The Black Death and Olivier. 112 Pages • 9780141977379 • November

Henry VIII The Quest for Fame John Guy One of the most charismatic leaders to sit on the English throne Charismatic, insatiable, and cruel, Henry VIII was, as John Guy shows, a king who became mesmerized by his own legend—and in the process destroyed and remade England. Said to be a “pillager of the commonwealth,” this most instantly recognizable of kings remains a figure of extreme contradictions: magnificent and vengeful; a devout traditionalist who oversaw a cata- clysmic rupture with the church in Rome; a talented, towering figure who nevertheless could not bear to meet people’s eyes when he talked to them. In this revealing new account, John Guy looks behind the mask into Henry’s mind to explore how he understood the world and his place in it—from his isolated upbringing and the blazing glory of his accession, to his desperate quest for fame and an heir and the terrifying paranoia of his last, agonizing, 54-inch-waisted years. John Guy is the author of Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. 160 Pages • 9780141977126 • November

Henry II A Prince Among Princes Richard Barber One of the cleverest men ever to rule England Henry II (1154–1189) through a series of astonishing dynastic coups became the ruler of an enormous European empire. One of the most dynamic, restless, and clever men ever to rule England, he was brought down both by his catastrophic relationship with his archbishop Thomas Becket and his debilitating arguments with his sons, most importantly the future Richard I and King John. His empire may have ultimately collapsed, but in Richard Barber’s vivid and sympathetic account the reader can see why Henry II left such a compelling impression on his contemporaries. Richard Barber is the author of The Penguin Guide to Medieval Europe, The Holy Grail, and Edward III and the Triumph of England. He is a major figure in medieval studies, both as a writer and as a publisher. 128 Pages • 9780141977089 • February

James II The Last Catholic King David Womersley One of the most catastrophic reigns in British history The short, action-packed reign of James II (1685–1688) is generally seen as one of the most catastrophic in British history. James managed, despite having access to tremendous reserves of good will and deference, to so alienate his supporters that he had to flee for his life. And yet, most of that life was spent not as king but first as heir to Charles II, as Duke of York (after whom New York is named) and then in the last part of his life as the first Jacobite “Pretend- er,” starting a problem that would haunt Britain’s rulers for generations. David Womersley is the Thomas Warton Professor of Literature at the University of Oxford. 128 Pages • 9780141977065

Victoria Queen, Matriarch, Empress Jane Ridley The longest-reigning female monarch in history Queen Victoria inherited the throne at 18 and went on to become the longest-reigning female monarch in history, in a time of intense industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom and great imperial expansion outside of it (she was made Empress of India in 1876). Overturning the established picture of the dour old lady, this is a fresh and engaging portrait from one of our most talented royal biographers. Jane Ridley is the author of The Heir Apparent: A Life of Edward VII, the Playboy Prince, named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times Book Review and the Bos- ton Globe. 160 Pages • 9780141977188

William III & Mary II Partners in Revolution Jonathan Keates Britain’s only ever “joint monarchs” William III (1689–1702) & Mary II (1689–1694) changed the course of the entire country’s history, coming to power through a coup (which involved Mary betraying her own father), re- establishing parliament on a new footing, and, through committing Britain to fighting France, initiating an immensely long period of warfare and colonial expansion. Jonathan Keates’ wonderful book makes both monarchs vivid, the cold, shrewd “Dutch” William and the short- lived Mary, whose life and death inspired Purcell to write some of his greatest music. Jonathan Keates’ books include biographies of Handel and Purcell and The Siege of Venice. 112 Pages • 9780141976877

237 The Viking Saga 793–1241 AD John Haywood A magisterial history of the Vikings that fully reflects the extraordinary geographical range of their activities, from Newfoundland in the west to Baghdad in the east The violent and predatory society of Dark Age Scandinavia left a unique impact on the history of medieval Europe. From their chill northern fastness, Norse warriors, explorers, and merchants raided, traded, and settled across wide areas of Europe, Asia, and the North At- lantic from the late 8th to the mid-11th century. This history narrates their story region by region, focusing on places where key events were played out, from the sack of Lindisfarne in 793 to the murder in Iceland in 1241 of the saga-writer Snorri Sturluson. Such episodes are fascinating in themselves, but also shed crucial light on the nature of Viking activity—its causes, effects, and the reasons for its decline. In 800 the Scandinavians were barbarians in longboats bent on plunder and rapine; by 1200, their homelands were an integral part of Latin Christendom. John Haywood tells, in authoritative but compellingly readable fashion, the extraordinary story of the Viking Age. John Haywood is an expert on the history of Dark Age Europe. His many books include Historical Atlas of the Ancient World, The New Atlas of World History, The Penguin Atlas of the Vikings, and Viking: The Norse Warrior’s [Unofficial] Manual.

Tudor Tales Dave Tonge A vivacious collection of stories from Tudor times, handed down through generations of storytellers People long ago were no different from us: they laughed at the same things we do today, a fact that can be seen in Tudor folk tales. These were the stories that were told in alehouses and market places in days gone by and later collected in “chapbooks,” the cheap print of the period. These entertaining stories are gleaned from these early sources, and are presented here alongside brief introductions and select court records from the time to help set them in context. This is not a book about Kings and Queens, but rather the “common sort,” from quarreling scolds to coney-catchers—cheats plying their trade in the very tavern yards where the tales the author now tells were shared long ago. Dave Tonge is a professional storyteller. He works at schools, museums and heritage sites, as well as literary, folk, and storytelling festivals.

239 Blood Cries Afar The Magna Carta, Civil War and the Invasion of England 1215–1217 Sean McGlynn Details an invasion that could have changed Britain as we know it, prompted by events at Runnymede where the barons brought an errant king to heel and in doing so provided an opportunity for conquest

“A full and well-researched narrative . . . makes for a powerful and gripping read showing a mastery of the sources. . . . [McGlynn] keeps the reader turning the pages.” —History Today “McGlynn tells a dashing story with gusto. . . . This is an entertaining military history of a very exciting reign.” —Spectator Taking advantage of the turmoil created in England by King John’s inept rule and the barons’ demands, Prince Louis of France invaded England and allied with the English rebels. The prize was the crown of England. Within months Louis had seized control of one-third of the country, including London. This is the only book to cover the bloody events of the invasion, one of the most dramatic but most overlooked episodes of British history. The text vividly describes the campaigns, sieges, battles, and atrocities of the invasion and its colorful leaders—Louis the Lion, King John, William Marshal, and the mercenaries Fawkes de Béauté and Eustace the Monk—to offer the first detailed military analysis of this epic struggle for England. Sean McGlynn is the author of By Sword and Fire: Cruelty and Atrocity in Medieval War- fare and is a regular contributor to history magazines and academic journals such as BBC History, English Historical Review, and History Today.

Magna Carta in 20 Places Derek J. Taylor The only book to tell Magna Carta’s story through places associated with it, through England and France to the United States The Magna Carta has undergone an extraordinary journey from the palaces and villages of England, through the castles and towns of France, via the Middle East, and ending in the United States today. Along the way, the book dispels the popular notions that King John was an unredeemed tyrant, the baron’s champions of civil liberty, and that Magna Carta was the foundation of democracy and universal freedom. The true story is much more intriguing than a simple fiction of good defeating evil, and the author tries to answer one of the great mysteries about the Charter: why today is it much more enthusiastically revered in America than it is in the country of its origin? But myths can be powerful. And the account of how this largely technical medieval document became an inspiration to those who have struggled over centuries to win democracy and freedom under the law reveals a great deal about our need for symbols and our inclination to believe what we want to believe. Derek J. Taylor is a journalist who covered five wars, the author of A Horse in the Bath- room: How an Old Stable Became Our Dream Village Home, and a historian.

240 The Black Death Sean Martin Explore the history behind the bubonic plague that left Europe reeling from one of the greatest losses in history The Black Death is the name most commonly given to the pandemic of bubonic plague that ravaged the medieval world in the late 1340s. From Central Asia, the plague swept through Europe, leaving millions of dead in its wake. Between a quarter and a third of Europe’s population died, and in England the population fell from nearly six million to just over three million. Sean Martin looks at the origins of the disease and traces its terrible march through Europe from the Italian cities to the far-flung corners of Scandinavia. He describes contemporary responses to the plague and makes clear how helpless the medicine of the day was in the face of it. He examines the renewed persecution of the Jews, blamed by many Christians for the spread of the disease, and highlights the bizarre attempts by such groups as the Flagellants to ward off what they saw as the wrath of God. Sean Martin is the author of several other Pocket Essentials titles, including Alchemy and Al- chemists, Andrei Tarkovsky, The Cathars, The Gnostics, and The Knights Templar.

241 POCKET ESSENTIAL SERIES

Alchemy & Alchemists Sean Martin This history behind alchemy studies the progression of this arcane art, looks at famous alchemists, and observes the effects it has had on modern science

“Well written, informative account.” —Independent on The Gnostics “An exemplary introduction.” —Telegraph on The Cathars Alchemy has traditionally been viewed as “the history of an error,” an example of medieval gullibility and greed, in which alchemists tried to turn lead into gold, create fabulous wealth, and find the elixir of life. But alchemy has also been described as “the mightiest secret that a man can possess,” and it obsessed the likes of Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and many of the founders of modern science. This book explores the history of the so-called Royal Art, from its mysterious beginnings in Egypt and China, through the Hellenistic world and the early years of Islam, and into medieval Europe. Some of the greatest minds of the Middle Ages, figures such as Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, and Thomas Aquinas, were drawn to alchemy, and legendary alchemists such as Nicholas Flamel were thought to have actually succeeded in finding the Philosopher’s Stone. During the Renaissance, Paracelsus and his followers helped revolutionize medicine, and during the 17th century, alchemy played a major role in paving the way for modern science. During the 20th century, it became a focus of interest for the psychologist Carl Jung and his followers, who believed that the alchemists had discovered the unconscious. In this fully revised edition, Sean Martin has expanded the sections on Chinese and Indian alchemy and has added new material on the relationship between alchemy and early modern science, while also making a fresh assessment of this most enduringly mysterious and fascinating of subjects, to which all others have been described as “child’s play.” Sean Martin is the author of several other Pocket Essentials titles, including Andrei Tarkovsky, The Cathars, The Gnostics, and The Knights Templar.

Henry V’s Navy The Sea-Road to Agincourt and Conquest 1413–1422 Ian Friel An examination of the men, ships, and technology that helped Henry V win one of his greatest victories, the Battle of Agincourt In 1415, Henry V’s English invasion force was carried across the Channel by 1,500 ships and boats, eventually to fight at Agincourt. Henry V built the Jesus, the first ship of 1,000 tons, followed by the Grace Dieu of 1,400 tons. Why didn’t the French stop him at sea? Henry V (1413–1422) conquered Normandy and forced the French king to accept him as heir to the French throne. The vital part played in these victories by English sailors and ships deserves to be better understood. Henry understood sea power and used it to clear the way for his two in- vasions of France. This book explores the story of the men, ships, operations, and cutting-edge medieval technology of the English fleet, which included both the “king’s ships” and privately-owned vessels. Using the detailed records of Henry’s ships, other rich documentary sources, and archeological evidence, Henry V’s Navy reconstructs the story of one of England’s most effective, but least remembered navies. This, it can be argued, is the beginning of England’s dominance of the waves. Ian Friel is a historian and writer. His books include The Good Ship and The British Museum Maritime History of Britain & Ireland c 400–2001.

Islamic infidels and heretical religions are attacked by crusades that were not entirely “Christian” in their moral outlook. From the Holy Roman Emperor to the Knights Templar, powerful men and organizations all vied for dominion and plunder. Each country has its history and legends. Murder, campaigns, politics, intrigue, torture, marriage; you had to master them all to become a successful king. Poisoning, plague, illness, accidents; you had to avoid them all to remain a successful king. Here are the lives and deaths of the most important people in medieval Eu- rope; the Heirs and their disgraces.

This first biography of an extraordinary character presents new documentary evidence which supports his imperial pretensions—long dismissed by historians—but also exposes him as a seducer, a spy, and, most intriguingly of all, a ruthless assassin in the pay of the wicked Earl of Lincoln. In this remarkable account, award-winning author John Hall plots the real lives of Theodore Paleologus and his three sons—from contract killings to fighting in the Civil War and pioneering days in the Caribbean slave trade—and sets their story against parallel careers on the wilder shores of literature, ranging from dainty Regency verses to Magic Realism, along with crime thrillers, fantastic tales of reincarnation, the bloodline of Christ, and a claim to the throne of England.

Blazing Star The Life & Times of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester Alexander Larman The scandalous life of England’s most notorious libertine, the Earl of Rochester, portrayed by Johnny Depp in The Libertine Restoration England witnessed an extraordinary flowering of literature, music, architecture, and science. At the center of the burgeoning cultural life of the age was John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. A peerlessly witty satirist, Rochester epitomized the manners of the court of Charles II. But he was also a libertine and drunkard, a writer of scandalously offensive poetry who got himself banned from court. Rochester died of syphilis at the age of just 33, leaving behind him a mystery as to the true nature of his character. This is a compelling portrait of a remarkable yet complex man and of a cultural golden age that often spilled over into depravity, and the only biography of the Earl to date to use the uncensored poetry. Alex Larman is a freelance journalist who has written for the Guardian, the New Statesman, the Observer, and the Times Literary Supplement.

“Superb.” —Wall Street Journal “Boozy, arty and sexually charged, Covent Garden in the mid-1700s surges spectacularly into life in this engrossing history.” —Sunday Times “[An] exhilarating history . . . Gatrell’s book features nearly 300 irreverently foul examples, to which he is an entertaining and appropriately digressive guide. In his hands, the prints provide a bewildering, sometimes nauseating, but ultimately enlightening portrait of a vigorously satirical time.” —New Yorker on City of Laughter In the teeming, disordered, and sexually charged square half-mile centered on London’s Covent Garden, something extraordinary evolved in the 18th century. It was the world’s first creative “Bohemia.” The nation’s most significant artists, actors, poets, novelists, and dramatists lived here. Vic Gatrell’s spectacular new book recreates this time and place by drawing on a vast range of sources, showing the deepening fascination with “real life” that resulted in the work of artists like Hogarth, Blake, and Rowlandson, or in great literary works like The Beggar’s Opera and Moll Flanders. The First Bohemians is illustrated by more than 200 extraordinary pictures, many rarely seen, for Gatrell celebrates above all one of the most fertile eras in Britain’s artistic history. Vic Gatrell is the author of City of Laughter, which won the Wolfson Prize for History and the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize, and The Hanging Tree, which won the Whitfield Prize of the Royal Historical Society.

Victoria’s Scottish Lion The Life of Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde Adrian Greenwood Foreword by Philip Haythornthwaite The first full-length appraisal of an incredible military career ranging from the War of 1812 to the First Opium War in China and well beyond Military service over an unprecedented 55 years took Field Marshal Colin Campbell from the battlefields of the Iberian peninsula to the plains of India, via the West Indies, Nova Scotia, China, Java, the Balkans, and Russia. Wounded six times—the first time at 20, the last when 65 years old—he always led from the front, ever ready to ride the whirlwind and direct the storm. There wasn’t a great power which he did not stand beside as an ally, or confront as a foe. He was in command at the most decorated battle in British history, earning 18 Victoria Crosses, and it was he who reconquered a subcontinent with an army Wellington would have thought sufficient for a reconnaissance-in-force. But Campbell’s story is also a very personal one, the struggle of the son of a Glaswegian cabinetmaker who climbed all the way to the House of Lords. Adrian Greenwood is a dealer in rare books. Philip Haythornthwaite is the author of more than 40 books, including British Riflemen, Gallipoli, 1915, and Napoleonic Light Cavalry Tactics.

245 The Bishop’s Brothels E. J. Burford Drawing on a wealth of contemporary source material, a fascinating social history of how commercial sex has been bought and sold in London for more than 1,000 years The Bankside Brothels, or “stewes,” were a celebrated feature of London life since Roman times. Located on the south side of the River Thames, in the Bishop of Winchester’s “Liberty of the Clink,” they were a highly lucrative source of revenue for the Church. In AD 1161 a royal decree ordered that these establishments be licensed and regulated. For many years they attracted the great and the not-so-good, helping to make Southwark the “pleasure-garden” of London. Through the stories of those who lived and worked in this fascinating part of London, we can begin to gain an understanding of a crucial but hitherto neglected aspect of the social history of England. E. J. Burford was a popular historian who wrote several bestselling social histories that explored the lives of ordinary people in England. He died in 1997.

Hidden Glimpses Guatemalan Costume and Life in the 19th Century Coryn Greatorex-Bell and Christopher H. Lutz These early- to mid-19th-century color illustrations of Guatemalan life shine a light on the cultural history of the Mayan peoples in the 1800s The impetus for this book was the recent discovery in Paris of three pencil sketchbooks and a book of delightful, whimsical, and finely executed watercolors of Guatemala life and costumes in the mid-1800s by the French Consul and talented amateur artist, Léonce Angrand. While researching the Angrand story, the authors have been led to more original (and many unpublished) illustrations by other artists—some dated even as early as 1813. Hidden Glimpses is a fascinating record embellished with drawings, paintings, and photographs, and will be a very welcome addition to the existing extensive list of books on the subject. Coryn Greatorex-Bell read modern languages at the University of Cambridge. She received a Le- verhulme Trust award in 1977 to study Guatemalan textiles, attached to the Ixchel Museum of Indigenous Textiles and Clothing in Guatemala City. Christopher H.

Captain Cook’s Merchant Ships Free Love, Three Brothers, Mary, Friendship, Endeavour, Adventure, Resolution and Discovery Stephen Baines The first book to tell the full story of Cook’s merchant ships in their historical context While the story of Endeavour is widely written about, Captain Cook sailed in or with eight ships that began their lives as merchant ships. This detailed illustrated history tells the story of these ships and the people who sailed in them. In placing these ships and people in the personal, political, social, financial, scientific, and religious contexts of their times, this book provides a comprehensible account of the 18th century. Often using contemporary sources, this gripping account fills a gap in Cook history and attempts to catch something of that exciting, violent, gossipy but largely untaught and unknown, period through which these vessels and their people sailed literally and figuratively between the old world and the new. Stephen Baines is the author of The Yorkshire Mary Rose: The Ship General Carleton of Whitby.

246 Voices from the Napoleonic Wars From Waterloo to Salamanca, 14 Eyewitness Accounts of a Soldier’s Life in the Early 1800s Edited by Jon E. Lewis Fourteen vivid, firsthand accounts of a soldier’s life in the Age of Napoleon—previously published as The Mammoth Book of Soldiers at War Revealing in telling detail the harsh lives of soldiers at the turn of the 18th century and in the early years of the 19th, these tales tell of the poor food and brutal discipline they endured, along with the forced marches and bloody, hand-to-hand combat. Contemporaries were mesmerized by Napoleon, and with good reason: in 1812, he had an unprecedented million men and more under arms. His new model army of volunteers and conscripts at epic battles such as Austerlitz, Salamanca, Borodino, Jena, and, of course, Waterloo marked the beginning of modern warfare, the road to the Sommes and Stalingrad. The citizen-in-arms of Napoleon’s Grande Armée and other armies of the time gave rise to a distinct body of soldiers’ personal memoirs. The personal accounts that Jon E. Lewis has selected from these memoirs, as well as from letters and diaries, include those of Rifleman Harris fighting in the Peninsular Wars, and Captain Alexander Cavalie Mercer of the Royal Horse Artillery at Waterloo. They cover the land campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars (1739–1802), the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), and the War of 1812 (1812–1815), in North America. The men who wrote these accounts were directly involved in the sweeping campaigns and climactic battles that set Europe and America alight at the turn of the 18th century and in the years that followed. Alongside recollections of the ferocity of hard-fought battles are the equally telling details of the common soldier’s daily life—short rations, forced marches in the searing heat of the Iberian summer, and the bitter cold of the Russian winter, debilitating illnesses and crippling wounds, looting and the lash, but also the compensations of hard-won comradeship in the face of ever-present death. Collectively, these personal accounts give us the most vivid picture of warfare 200 and more years ago, in the evocative language of those who knew it at first hand—the men and officers of the British, French and American armies. They let us know exactly what it was like to be an infantryman, a cavalryman, an artilleryman of the time. Jon E. Lewis is a writer and historian. His many previous books include The Mammoth Book of Combat, The Mammoth Book of Cover-Ups, and The Mammoth Book of Modern Battles.

Churchill Comes of Age Cuba 1895 Hal Klepak Photographs by Glen Hartle The untold story of Churchill’s first international adventure, coming of age, and showing for the first time his exceptional characteristics—told with the help of original research into Spanish and Cuban archives and interviews In 1895, Churchill showed already what kind of man he was going to be, as he went on his first international adventure, saw his 21st birthday, had his baptism of fire, wrote his first military analysis, engaged in his first dicey diplomatic mission, conducted his first intelligence work, found himself in his first major controversy with the press, and was a journalist and indeed a war correspondent for the first time. He engaged in his first political analysis, shamelessly used his connections, and did all of this in what was soon to be known as the “Churchill style.” While up to now attention has been put on his Indian frontier and Boer War experience as the most formative moments in his youth, this book shows that his much earlier Cuban trip was really the moment when he “came of age” in almost every sense. Hal Klepak is professor emeritus of history and strategy at the Royal Military College of Canada; a senior research associate at the Institute for the Americas; and a special adviser to commander of the Canadian army for inter-American affairs. He spent eight years as a strategic analyst at the Canadian ministry of defense and NATO. He holds a variety of military decorations and was an infantry officer for 16 years. He is the author of nine books, including Cuba’s Military 1990–2005: Revolutionary Soldiers During Counter-revolutionary Times. Glen Hartle is a photographer. He lives in Ottawa, Ontario.

When James Cook landed on the east coast of Australia, the rest of the world had some idea of how empty, vast, and wild the continent was, but so little was known of it that in 1788 most people thought it was two lands. In the subsequent years, its coastline was charted, its interior opened up, and its cities, laws, and economy developed. In this riveting, wide-ranging history, David Hill traces how this happened through the key figures who built this country into the thriving nation it is today: from its prescient and fair-minded first governor, Arthur Phillip, to the unpopular William Bligh, the victim of the country’s first and only military coup; from the visionary builder and law-maker Lachlan Macquarie to William Wentworth, the son of a convict who secured Australia’s first elected parliament; from Henry Parkes, the grand old man of politics who started the fraught process of Federation, to the first prime minister, Edmund Barton. It was Barton who formed the first Australian government just in time for the inaugural celebrations on January 1, 1900, when the nation of Australia was born. David Hill has been chairman and managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation; chairman of the Australian Foot- ball Association; chief executive and director of the State Rail Authority; chairman of Sydney Water Corporation; a fellow of the Sydney University Senate; and chairman of CREATE (an organization representing Australian children in institutional care).

Australian Confederates How 42 Australians Joined the Rebel Cause and Fired the Last Shot in the American Civil War Terry Smyth In the summer of 1865, when a Confederate warship sailed into the port of Melbourne, 42 Australian men secretly enlisted to fight for the South in the American Civil War—this is their story When the notorious raider Shenandoah—scourge of the Yankee merchant fleet—dropped anchor, the fledgling colony of Victoria was taken by surprise, and the Confederates had no way of knowing whether they would be hailed as heroes or hanged as pirates. To the rebels’ surprise, Melbourne took them to its heart. Victorians came in their thousands to visit the ship, and its officers were feted as celebrities. Meanwhile, in defiance of the law against foreign warships recruiting in a neutral port, 42 men were smuggled aboard in dead of night and, once at sea, signed up to join the Confederate Navy. For Australia—not yet a nation—1865 was a water- shed year in an age of gold rushes, bushrangers, disputes between rival colonies, and fears of foreign invasion. For war-torn America, it was the turning point in the deadliest conflict in the nation’s history. After the defeat at Gettysburg, the tide had turned against the Confederacy but the South was determined to fight on, and, in the war at sea, the Shenandoah was the last best hope. The Shenandoah’s mission was to damage the North’s economy by attacking its commercial fleet, and, under the command of Captain James Waddell, the raider went on to wipe out almost the entire New England whaling fleet. On learning that Robert E. Lee had surrendered, Waddell refused to believe the cause was lost. The Shenandoah continued harrying the Yankee fleet and fired the last shot of the war after capturing, burning, and ransoming 38 Union ships and taking more than 1,000 prisoners. On accepting at last that the war had ended, the Confederates sailed around the world to England and surrendered to the neutral British. Some 120 Australians are known to have fought in the American Civil War, on both sides. Of the 42 men who signed on in Melbourne as petty officers, seamen, and marines, some returned home, others dropped out of sight and one died aboard ship—the last man to die in the service of the Confederacy. This is their story. Terry Smyth is an award-winning journalist, playwright, scriptwriter, and songwriter. In a 25-year career as a feature writer and columnist with Fairfax Media, he wrote extensively on historical, social, and cultural subjects, and was more recently the cofounder and editor of the popular Australian history online magazine The Forgotten Times.

Each biographical profile sets its subject clearly in the culture and context of its time, enabling this book to tell not only the stories of many courageous and fiercely independent women, but also to provide a fascinating and informative alternative social history of the last 3,500 years. The number of women who have ruled as queens or empresses, or governed as presidents or prime ministers, remains but a small subset of the total of those who have attained ultimate political power. But this elite group of women, who—through dynastic succession, democratic election, or other means—have reached the heights of political and ceremonial leadership, includes some of the most influential and charismatic figures of world history.

249 Secrets of the Knights Templar The Hidden History of the World’s Most Powerful Order S. J. Hodge Learn the truth behind the myths which have surrounded the Knights Templar for generations The Knights Templar are one of the most mysterious and powerful religious orders in history. Highly trained, and adhering to a strict chivalric code, their success on the battlefield brought them both extraordinary wealth and political influence. It also ensured they would be entrusted to guard Christendom’s greatest secrets. Our enduring fascination with the Templars is matched only by the swirling myths that surround and sometimes obscure the order’s history. Secrets of the Knights Templar examines each of these mysteries in turn to reveal the truth about the Knights’ secret practices, rituals, and codes, as well as the continued influence of the Templars today. From the true location of the Holy Grail to the Templars’ involvement in the Battle of Bannockburn, and from the sudden downfall of the order to the claims of those who believe they’re descended from its Grand Masters, S. J. Hodge’s thrilling and authoritative narrative uncovers the hidden links behind the stories and separates historical fact from fiction. S. J. Hodge has an MA and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. She has written more than 60 illustrated nonfiction books, including 50 Art Ideas You Really Need to Know, Gustav Klimt, Medieval Europe, and Why Your Five Year Old Could Not Have Done That: Modern Art Explained.

250 Ireland The Easter Rising 1916 and the Irish War of Independence Michael A. O’Neill Beautifully illustrated, the fascinating story of the Easter Rising—an armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916 The Rising was mounted by Irish republicans to end British rule in Ireland, secede from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and establish an independent Irish Re- public while the United Kingdom was heavily engaged in World War I. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1798. Organized by seven members of the Military Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood the Rising began on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, and lasted for six days. Members of the Irish Volunteers—led by schoolmaster and Irish language activist Patrick Pearse, joined by the smaller Irish Citizen Army of James Connol- ly, along with 200 members of Cumann na mBan—seized key locations in Dublin and proclaimed the Irish Republic independent of the United Kingdom. With vastly superior numbers and artillery, the British Army quickly suppressed the Rising, and Pearse agreed to an unconditional surrender on Saturday, 29 April. Most of the leaders were executed following court-martial, but the Rising succeeded in bringing republicanism back to the forefront of Irish politics. Support for republicanism continued to rise in Ireland in the context of the ongoing war in Europe and the Middle East and revolutions in other countries, and especially as a result of the Conscription Crisis of 1918 and the failure of the British-sponsored Irish Convention. In December 1918, republicans represented by the Sinn Féin won 73 Irish seats out of 105 in the 1918 general election to the British Parliament, on a policy of abstentionism and Irish independence. On January 21, 1919, they convened the First Dáil and declared the independence of the Irish Republic, and later that day the Irish War of Independence began. Michael A. O’Neill has written scripts for, produced, and narrated historical documentaries, which have been shown on the Discov- ery Channel and the History Channel.

251 Elegy The First Day on the Somme Andrew Roberts A New York Times–bestselling author tells the shattering story of the blackest day in the history of British army On July 1, 1916, after a five-day bombardment, 11 British and five French divisions launched their long-awaited “Big Push” on German positions on high ground above the Rivers An- cre and Somme on the Western Front. Some ground was gained, but at a terrible cost. In killing-grounds whose names are indelibly imprinted on 20th-century memory, German machine-guns—manned by troops who had sat out the storm of shellfire in deep dugouts—inflict- ed terrible losses on the British infantry. The British Fourth Army lost 57,470 casualties, the French Sixth Army suffered 1,590 casualties, and the German 2nd Army 10,000. And this was but the prelude to 141 days of slaughter that would witness the deaths of between 750,000 and one million troops. Andrew Roberts evokes the pity and the horror of the blackest day in the history of the British army—a summer’s day turned hell on earth by modern military technology —in the words of casualties, survivors, and the bereaved. Andrew Roberts is a prize-winning historian, journalist, and broadcaster. His books include Masters and Commanders, Napoleon: A Life and, The Storm of War.

The German 66th Regiment in the First World War The German Perspective Otto Korfes Translated by Terence Zuber A rare look into the German military experience of the First World War written and translated into English by soldiers Infanterie-Regiment 66 fought in most of the great battles on the western front: Mons, Le Ca- teau, the Marne, Arras, the Somme, the French offensive on the Chemin des Dames, the Kaiser- schlacht in March 1918, the German offensive on the Chemin des Dames, the Second Marne, and the Siegfried Line. It continually demonstrated the highest levels of tactical skill. This is an exceptional text written by a soldier and academic, Dr. Otto Korfes, who served as an officer in the regiment and then became an historian in the Reichsarchiv, the repository of the German Ar- my’s Great War documents. Korfes consulted the regimental war diaries and after action reports, as well as making extensive use of firsthand accounts. The book includes 23 tactical sketches and dozens of pencil drawings by the great German war artist, Döbrich-Streglitz. Otto Korfes was an officer in the 66th Infantry Regiment before becoming an historian. He was executed in 1944 for his participation in the Valkyrie plot against Hitler. Terence Zuber was a U.S. Army infantry officer. He is the author of half a dozen books, including The Battle of the Frontiers: Ardennes 1914 and Ten Days in August. He lives in West Virginia.

Executed at Dawn British Firing Squads of the First World War David Johnson The controversial story of the men forced to shoot their fellow Tommies Brigadier-General Crozier describes an execution he has ordered of a man who fell asleep on sentry duty. Much has been written about the 346 men who were executed in WW1 but there is usually only a passing reference to those who took part—the members of the firing squad, the officer in charge, the medical officer, and the padre. What are their stories? Through extensive research, David Johnson explores how they were selected and how they were treated before, during, and after the executions, and why there were so many procedural variations in the way that the executions were conducted. David Johnson is a passionate First World War historian and is the author of The Man Who Didn’t Shoot Hitler: The Story of Henry Tandey VC and eight other titles.

After two failed attacks on Gaza using tactics employed on the Western Front, a new commander was appointed. General Allenby reinvigorated the Army and led it to success in the Third Battle of Gaza. This offensive would see an innovative use of cavalry and all-arms co-operation push the Ottoman defenders all the way back to Jerusalem. This campaign is seldom examined outside of dry assessments of strategy and movements, or studies of T. E. Lawrence’s peripheral role. This work will bring the campaign to life in a broader and deeper sense, analyzing the “war fighting” and logistical aspects while also telling the stories of the men who lived and fought in the harsh desert conditions. Stuart Hadaway is a professional military historian who has worked with regimental museums around the UK, including as curator of the RAF Museum.

From Ice Floes to Battlefields Scott’s ‘Antarctics’ in the First World War Anne Strathie A tale of friendship, death, and survival, this is the first group biography of the men who survived the Terra Nova expedition In February 1912, Harry Pennell and his Terra Nova shipmates returned to Antarctica expecting to celebrate Scott’s conquest of the Pole. Forced by ice to leave before their leader returned, they sailed to New Zealand to discover Amundsen had reached the Pole in December 1911. Returning to Antarctica in January 1913, they learned the tragic news that Scott’s party died on their return from the Pole. Back in New Zealand, Pennell secretly cabled London with the news, while in England a cycle of medal ceremonies and memorial services were soon overshad- owed by the outbreak of war—a war that would soon include Pennell and his shipmates. Of the eight men photographed on board the Terra Nova in Antarctica in early 1912, four would die in conflict. Amongst the battles and bad news, however, there were reunions, romances, weddings, births, and tales of survival against all odds. Anne Strathie is a freelance writer and researcher. She is the author of Birdie Bowers and coauthor of Hugh Willoughby: The Man Who Loved Picassos.

The Siege of Tsingtao Penguin Specials Jonathan Fenby The only battle of World War I to be fought in East Asia, how it came about, and why its aftermath is still relevant today In 1914, Europe was not the only continent coming to terms with a new form of conflict. Through a mix of complex alliances and global ambition, the war had spread to northern China, where the German-held port of Tsingtao became a key battleground. To strike a blow at Kaiser Wilhelm’s naval forces, Britain and its ally Japan lay siege to the port during October and November. In The Siege of Tsingtao, the first of the Penguin China Specials on World War I, celebrated historian Jonathan Fenby examines the causes of the battle, the ulterior motives for it, and the path it helped set East Asia on for decades to come. Jonathan Fenby has been the editor of the Observer and the South China Morning Post. His books include How It Got There and Where It Is Heading, Generalissimo: Chiang Kai-shek and the Chi- na He Lost; Snake Tails: China Today, The Penguin History of Modern China, and Tiger Head.

They led from the front and paid a disproportionate price. In 1919, a grateful Mother Coun- try hosted a rugby tournament: sevens teams at eight venues, playing 17 matches to declare a first “world champion.” For the first time teams from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Britain, and France were assembled in one place. It was a moment of triumph, a celebration of military victory, of Commonwealth and Allied unity, and of rugby values, moral and physical. In 2015 the tournament returns to England as the world remembers the Centenary of the Great War. Values of teamwork, respect, and discipline were forged and tested in war—and enjoyment of rugby helped men through it. This is the story of rugby’s journey through World War I to its first World Cup, and how those values endure today. Stephen Cooper has played and coached rugby for more than 40 years. His first book The Final Whistle won Rugby Book of the Year 2013 and was shortlisted for the Times Sports Book of the Year.

Love Letters of the Great War Edited by Mandy Kirkby Foreword by Helen Dunmore A powerful collection of correspondence between soldiers and their sweethearts during World War I From the private papers of Winston Churchill to the tender notes of an unknown Tommy in the trenches, this book brings together some of the most romantic correspondence ever written. Many of the letters collected here are eloquent declarations of love and longing; others contain wrenching accounts of fear, jealousy, and betrayal; and a number share sweet dreams of home. But in all the correspondence—whether from British, American, French, German, Russian, Australian, and Canadian troops in the height of battle, or from the heart- broken wives and sweethearts left behind—there lies a truly human portrait of love and war. A century on from the start of World War I, these letters offer an intimate glimpse into the hearts of men and women separated by conflict, and show how love can transcend even the bleakest and most devastating of realities. Mandy Kirkby is an editor and the author of The Language of Flowers: A Miscellany. Helen Dunmore is the Orange Prize–winning author of Ingo, The Lie, The Siege, and A Spell of Winter.

The Lost Band of Brothers Tom Keene Foreword by Major General Julian Thompson, CB, OBE The story of 50 men hand-picked by Churchill to form a secret army that attacked, kidnapped, ambushed, and killed Germans across Europe during WWII They were Britain’s own Second World War “Band of Brothers”: a privately selected secret army of 50 cross-channel raiders who formed the elite Small Scale Raiding Force. Part SOE, part Combined Operations, their full story of courage, audacity, and ultimate tragedy has never been told before. Created after the fall of Dunkirk, the raiders were much admired, especially by Churchill. In almost 20 daring missions over two years they kidnapped sentries, ambushed pa- trols, and shot prisoners—wreaking havoc along the rim of Hitler’s Festung Europa. One night, they landed in a secret armed reconnaissance mission at what would become Omaha Beach and ran into a German patrol; with nowhere to hide but the sea, they were gunned down. Those left behind continued their extraordinary legacy, told here for the first time by Tom Keene. Tom Keene is the winner of the Royal Marines’ Historical Award, the European Community’s prestigious Prix Stendhal, and the Roland Lewinsky Scholarship. He is the author of Cloak of Enemies. Major-General Julian Thompson, CB, OBE is a military historian and a former officer of the British royal marines. He is the author of Call to Arms, Dunkirk, and Royal Marines.

Fritz and Tommy Across the Barbed Wire Peter Doyle and Robin Schäfer A unique look at how British and German soldiers survived either side of No Man’s Land and how more brought them together than divided them Fritz and Tommy takes a unique look at the experiences of the German soldier, in direct comparison with those of his British counterpart. While other books plot out the battles and examine the participation of the German divisions on the Western front, there are no books that discuss the shared experience of both sides. The result of a close collaboration between a British and a Ger- man military historian, this history examines the commonality of frontline experience. Drawing upon unique archives, Peter Doyle and Robin Schäfer examine the soldiers’ lives, and examine cultural and military nuances that have so far been left untouched. Mapping out the lives of the men in the trenches, it concludes that Fritz and Tommy were not that far apart, geographically, physically, or emotionally. The soldiers on both sides went to war with high ideals; they experienced horror and misery, but also comradeship/kameradschaft. And with increasing alienation from the people at home, they drew closer together, the Hun transformed into “good old Gerry” by the war’s end. Peter Doyle is a scientist, a military historian, and an author. He is a Member of the British Commission on Military History and Secretary of the All Party Parliamentary War Heritage Group. His previous books include World War I in 100 Objects and World War II in Numbers. Robin Schäfer is a German military historian.

Williams The gripping story of the mercy ships of the Second World War Behind the scenes during the Second World War, agreements were negotiated for wounded or gravely ill prisoners and “Protected Personnel”—diplomats, clergy, civilians, and alien intern- ees—to be safely exchanged, a little-known dimension of the war. Conducted under the Inter- national Red Cross and neutral intermediaries, exchanges were arranged individually between Allied nations and the Axis belligerents. A group of 36 ships, in special livery, were engaged in this dangerous work, sailing through hostile waters alone and undefended, and conspicuously illumi- nated at night. Constantly at risk of attack by submarine and aircraft, their safety depended on the transmission and receipt of “safe passage” commands to the armed units in their paths. This book describes these special ships and details the exchange operations they took part in. David L. Williams has a background in professional photography and technical publications.

Survivor of the Warsaw Uprising My Boyhood War Bohdan Hryniewicz An account from one of the last living Polish fighters of the bloody massacre that was the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 Bohdan Hryniewicz was only eight when war broke out and 13 when it ended. In those years he saw more than most men would in 10 lifetimes; and his recall is extraordinary. The Warsaw Uprising lasted 63 days and was the largest single military effort by any resistance movement in the war. Throughout, Bohdan was the personal runner of lieutenant Nalecz, CO of the battalion of the same name. Betrayed by Stalin, all the Poles were expelled to camps after surrender and the city dynamited. Bohdan is probably the last witness to this tragedy. Bohdan Hryniewicz was born in Wilno in 1931 into impoverished nobility. He has been decorated by Poland up to the highest level, the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Merit. His daughter Lisa has helped prepare his memoir.

Hitler’s Valkyrie The Uncensored Biography of Unity Mitford David R. L. Litchfield Now in paperback, the first biography to reveal the full, intimate details of Unity Valkyrie Mitford’s remarkable relationship with Adolf Hitler The remarkable and much-loved Mitford family has remained largely unrepentant concerning theirs—and particularly Unity’s—enthusiastic support of Hitler, the Nazis, Oswald Mosley, and British fascism. Having initially encouraged and supported Unity’s affair with Hitler, they subsequently insisted that she had in fact been a rather unintelligent, clumsy lump of a girl, whose virginal relationship with one of the most terrifying dictators of all time was a mere unrequited, romantic obsession. As this book will show, nothing could be further from the truth. Following further research and re-examination of the family’s, friends’, and journalists’ often contradictory evidence, plus new information supplied by the author’s own family and friends, readers will find that while Unity was, like Hitler, an extreme fantasist, there was in fact little of the juvenile romantic about her, and that she was, on the contrary, highly intelligent, free-spirited, and athletic. She was also the only Englishwoman who came close to being capable of changing the course of World War II. David R. L. Litchfield is a writer, a journalist, and a documentary filmmaker. He has written for Rolling Stone, Tatler, and the Times.

Elaine Madden’s quest takes her from occupied Belgium through the chaos of Dunkirk, where she flees disguised as a British soldier, into the London Blitz, where she finally begins to discover herself. Recruited to T Section of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) as a “fast courier,” she is parachuted back to the country of her birth to undertake a top secret political mission and help speed its liberation from Nazi oppression. Elaine Madden never claimed to be a heroine, but her story proves otherwise. Relayed to the author in the final years of her life, Elaine’s true story of courage and humor in testing times is more intriguing, more compelling than fiction.

The Trio Three War Correspondents of World War Two Richard Knott The men behind the headlines of the famous “Trio” of World War II reporting Trio tells the story of three war correspondents, two Englishmen and an Australian, all in their thirties, whose friendship was forged during World War II. They became so close that their colleagues dubbed them the “Trio,” sometimes out of disgruntled rivalry. Alan Moorehead, Al- exander Clifford, and Christopher Buckley worked for the Express, Mail, and Telegraph respec- tively. Clifford and Moorehead lived together more closely than most married couples, and all three correspondents spent the war years traveling relentlessly, chasing news, and writing stories, while being reliant on each other’s friendship and mutual trust. They were frequently in the line of fire, while their names became synonymous with the best war reporting. The Trio describes their relationship, what happened to each of them in the war, and finally, when the fighting was over, how success gave way to personal tragedy. Richard Knott is a historian and English teacher. He has written several books on World War II, including Black Cat Raiders of WWII and Fire from the Sky.

Declared an “Aryan,” she was removed from her mother and held in a children’s home; her true identity erased, she became Ingrid von Oelhafen. The Lebensborn program was the brainchild of Himmler: an extraordinary plan to create an Aryan master race. Later, as Ingrid began to uncover her true identity, the full scale of the scheme became clear—including the kidnapping of half a million babies like her, and the deliberate murder of children born into the program who were deemed “substandard.” Written with insight and compassion, this is a powerful meditation on the personal legacy of Hitler’s vision, of Germany’s brutal past, and of a divided Europe that for many years struggled to come to terms with its own history. Ingrid von Oelhafen is a former music teacher living in Osnabruck, Germany. For more than 20 years she has been investigating her own extraordinary story and that of Lebensborn. Tim Tate is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and author. In 2013 he produced and directed Lebens- born: Children of the Master Race. He is the author of 12 books.

When a team of French experts accelerated a train up to 350 miles per hour in April 2007 they proved that the rail speed frontier was still unknown. Japan and France pioneered high-speed train technology in the 20th century, and now China and South Korea are on the cusp of developing inter-city rail travel at 240 miles per hour. In Europe, expansion of the already extensive network of high-speed lines may be dogged by delays over costs and noise, but the U.S. lags far behind, already outpaced by new lines in Turkey, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia—pilgrims to Mecca will soon be riding the desert rails at 185 miles per hour. Charting the events that have shaped these remarkable developments, this illustrated book is railway history in the making. Murray Hughes is the editor of Railway Gazette International, in which capacity he witnessed many key events in the development of high-speed trains in different countries. Previously he was Foreign/News Editor for Modern Railways, and spent time working with Swiss Railways and the International Union of Railways in Paris. He has written a number of books and articles.

The World the Railways Made Nicholas Faith Introduction by Christian Wolmar A new edition of a railway classic: how the “Iron Road” turned the world upside down, with a new chapter on the future of rail “A bounty of railroad lore for anyone who fondly remembers Agatha Christie’s Mur- der on the Orient Express, Thomas Wolfe’s lyrical description of rail journeys into the American heartland, or even their own rides on the locomotive.” —Kirkus Reviews 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 both sudden and universal: railways transformed the world, carrying empire, capitalism, and industrialization to every corner of the planet. For some, the “Iron Road” symbol- ized the brute horrors of modernity; for others the way toward a brighter future. From 1825, when the first passenger service linked Stockton and Darlington to the outbreak of World War I, Nicholas Faith presents a compelling journey through the first century of rail, introducing visionaries, engineers, surveyors, speculators, financiers, and navigational engineers—the heroes and the rogues of the mechanical revolution that turned the world upside down. Nicholas Faith writes for the Independent on Sunday and many other publications, and is the author of The Bronfmans. Christian Wolmar is the author of Blood, Iron & Gold; Engines of War; and The Great Railroad Revolution.

Great Passenger Ships 1930–1940 William H. Miller Exploring the ships at sea across the most glamorous and exciting decade for the great liners The 1930s was perhaps the most glamorous and exciting decade for the great liners, highlighted by the great shipbuilding inter-nation rivalry: Germany’s Bremen and Europa, Italy’s Rex and Conte Di Savoia, France’s Normandie, and Britain’s Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Passengers traveled on some of the most popular liners of all time, L’Atlantique, Empress of Britain, Em- press of Japan, Queen of Bermuda, President Coolidge, Strathnaver and Strathaird, Orion, Capetown Castle, Oranje, Mauretania, and Andes—and many more. Despite the worldwide Depression and a great shift in trading patterns, it was a wonderful era for shipbuilding and the era of Art Deco on the high seas, the age of “floating Ginger Rogers.” William H. Miller has written 85 books on passenger ships, including Great American Passenger Ships and Great British Passenger Ships, and is a world expert in his field. He has received the National Maritime History Award, the Silver Riband Award, and he created the passenger ship database for the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. He has appeared in numerous documentaries and news broadcasts and is a frequent guest lecturer aboard cruise ships. He lives in New Jersey.

260 The Unseen Mauretania 1907 The Ship in Rare Illustrations J. Kent Layton An evocative visual history of the legendary liner known as the “grey- hound of the Atlantic” When she took to the rugged North Atlantic for the first time in November of 1907, the Cunard company’s Mauretania was the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner. But beyond her comfort and size, it was hoped that her mighty engines would guarantee that she would also become the fastest ship on the Atlantic. She and her sister ship, the Lusitania, carried with them the hopes of an entire nation. Although the Lusitania’s life was tragically cut short in 1915, the Mauretania went on to hold the Blue Rib- and speed prize for 22 years. This evocative book by maritime expert J. Kent Layton follows her glorious career spanning portions of four decades of the 20th century. J. Kent Layton is a maritime researcher and author. His previous titles include The Edwardian Superliners and On a Sea of Glass. He lives in New York City.

SS Nieuw Amsterdam Andrew Britton The fascinating story of the grand old lady, darling of the Dutch, and the largest vessel built in Rotterdam This book traces the distinguished career of the Holland America Line flagship Nieuw Amsterdam. One of the most popular liners on the At- lantic, she regularly visited Southampton, Hoboken, Rotterdam, and latterly Fort Lauderdale and the Caribbean. The Dutch art-deco flagship was named for the Dutch settlement New Amsterdam, modern-day New York. Her pre-war life was short and with the fall of Holland in the Sec- ond World War she was requisitioned by the British Ministry of Trans- port under Cunard. After conversion she was a British troopship, carrying thousands of Allied troops to all corners of the world. After the war, she remained in Holland America Line service until 1974, the last ship to re- tain the Holland America Line’s green, yellow and white funnels. Despite boiler problems in 1967, she was refitted with U.S. Navy-surplus boilers and sailed on, cruising, until withdrawn from service in 1974. Andrew Britton is a lifelong shipping enthusiast and collector whose other books include RMS Queen Mary and SS United States.

Complementing the images, acclaimed aviation author and journalist Bruce Hales-Dutton has written an authoritative and eye-opening text that tells the history of this great aircraft. Designed and developed amid utmost secrecy the Lockheed Con- stellation became one of the most popular and successful aircraft ever built, flying with virtually every major airline around the world and many air forces in a bewildering range of roles from troop transport to airborne command and control. It was the irresistible combination of Lockheed’s design expertise and Howard Hughes’ money that drove the Constel- lation project. As majority owner of TWA, Hughes saw the Constella- tion as a way to grab and maintain market share over his rival airlines. Lockheed, however, wanted something even bigger and more grand than Hughes’ vision. What appeared for its first flight in 1942 was nothing less than an iconic aeroplane that would never be equaled in its style and grace. Not willing to rest on their creation the Super Constellation appeared just a few years later adding more seats along with unheard of refinements such as air condition- ing and reclining seats. For 30 years after World War II the Constellation ruled the international commercial skies, first as the airliner of choice until the first jet airliners arrived, and then as a charter aircraft and freighter. 9780993181214 • December Boeing Unseen Images from the Archives A tribute to 100 years of Boeing and its aircraft The publishers of Boeing: Unseen Images from the Archives have scoured archives round the world to create a unique book packed with rare and previously unseen images that complement acclaimed aviation journalist Bruce Hales-Dutton’s text. Boeing is perhaps the most important manufacturer and designer of aircraft ever and the most iconic name in the history of aviation. From a small boat factory in Seattle, the legendary “Red Barn,” 100 years ago to the giant aviation manufacturing business of today, Boeing has built and maintained an unrivaled reputation for building airliners, bombers, fighters, flying boats, trainers, helicopters, and more recently spacecraft and missiles. It was aircraft such as the P.26 Peashooter, Stratoliner, and Clipper flying boat that created the company’s pre-war reputation; the classic B-17 and B-29 bombers that made Boeing one of the biggest wartime contributors to the U.S. war effort; the unique shape of the Stratocruiser that returned the company to the forefront of the commercial aviation business in the immediate post-war years; the hugely successful B-52 bomber and 707, 727, 737, and 747 airliners that gave Boeing the lead in jet aviation; and the recent array of world beating aircraft such as the Chinook helicopter, 787 Dreamliner, Super Hornet, and C-17 Globemaster military transport that have maintained the company’s position well into the 21st Century. 9780993181283 • November

Mosquito Unseen Images from the Archives Colin Higgs A celebratory book and two documentaries about the famous aircraft In the age of metal fuselages and wings how could an aircraft largely built of wood possibly become one of the most famous British aircraft ever and arguably the best military aircraft of World War II? The Mosquito was built by de Havilland which had already created classics such as the Tiger Moth and Dragon Rapide. It would prove to be the most versatile aircraft in the Royal Air Force’s wartime inventory being used as bomber, day and night fighter, for reconnaissance, pathfinding, minelaying, and photographic roles as well as in Coastal Command for attacks on enemy shipping. Almost 8,000 Mosquitos were built and they were flown by almost every country’s pilots fighting with the allies including Americans, Canadians, Australians, and South Africans. The publishers of Mosquito: Unseen Images from the Archives have scoured the archives to come up with an unrivaled selection of rare and unseen images showing the full history of the Mosquito from its inception before the war through its hugely successful wartime career to the final post-war flights. Accompanying this ground-breaking book are two documentaries: De Havilland presents the Mosquito, and early film telling the aircraft’s history and Gaining Alti- tude, the story of the rebuilding of a Mosquito to airworthy condition. Colin Higgs has been a documentarian for more than 20 years, for both TV and home entertainment. 9780993181221 • December

264 The Mammoth Book of the Vietnam War Jon E. Lewis More than 40 vivid, eyewitness accounts of the defining conflict of the second half of the 20th century By 1969, following the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, more than 500,000 U.S. troops were “in country” in Vietnam. Before America’s longest war had ended with the fall of Saigon in 1975, 450,000 Vietnamese had died, along with 36,000 Americans. The Vietnam War was the first rock ‘n’ roll war, the first helicopter war with its doctrine of “airmobility,” and the first television war; it made napalm and the defoliant Agent Orange infamous, and gave us the New Journalism of Michael Herr and others. It also saw the establishment of the Navy SEALs and Delta Force. At home, America fractured, with the peace movement protesting against the war; at Kent State University, Ohio National Guardsmen fired on unarmed students, killing four and injuring nine. Lewis’s compelling selection of the best writing to come out of a war covered by some truly outstanding writers, both journalists and combatants, includes an eyewitness account of the first major battle between the United States Army and the People’s Army of Vietnam at Ia Drang; a selection of letters home; Nicholas Tomalin’s famous The General Goes Zapping Charlie Cong; Robert Mason’s R&R; Studs Terkel’s account of the police breaking up an anti-war protest; John Kifner on the shootings at Kent State; Ron Kovic’s Born on the Fourth of July; John T. Wheeler’s Khe Sanh: Live in the V Ring; Pulitzer Prize–winner Seymour Hersh on the massacre at My Lai; Michael Herr’s It Made You Feel Omni; Viet Cong Truong Nhu Tang’s memoir; naval nurse Maureen Walsh’s memoir Burning Flesh; John Pilger on the fall of Saigon; and Tim O’Brien’s If I Die in a Combat Zone. Jon E. Lewis is a writer and historian. His many previous books include The Mammoth Book of Combat, The Mammoth Book of Cover-Ups, and The Mammoth Book of Modern Battles.

Katanga 1960 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 In King Leopold II’s infamous Congo “Free” State at the turn of the century, severed hands became a form of currency. But the Belgians don’t seem to have a sense of historical shame, as they connived for an independent Katanga state in 1960 to protect Belgian mining interests. What happened next was extraordinary. Katanga 1960 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 United Nations. It was a fantastically uneven battle. The UN fielded soldiers from twenty 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. It even looked as if the Katangese might win. Christopher Othen has worked as a journalist, a legal representative for asylum seekers, and an English language teacher. He is the author of Franco’s International Brigades: Adventur- ers, Fascists, and Christian Crusaders in the Spanish Civil War.

When fresh out of law school, Donovan enrolled in the United States Navy during World War II and, towards the end of the war, was charged with collecting and recording evidence of Nazi atrocities, a role that then transitioned into his becoming a prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials. Once returned to the U.S., he set up a private legal practice, and his reputation grew rapidly. In 1957, he became involved with defending the captured Russian spy Rudolph Abel, and then attempted to secure the release of the captured U-2 pilot, Francis Gary Powers. In amongst his international negotiating career he found time to run for Senate and become President of the New York art school, Pratt Institute. Philip J. Bigger worked as an administrator in probation and pre-trial services for the U.S. Dis- trict Court in Brooklyn.

It looks at the secret campaign that Mrs. Thatcher and her government waged before and after the Falklands War against “subversives.” The central argument of the book is that there was not only a secret, internal “cold war” fought throughout the 1980s (a war that had started in the 1970s), but that the consequences of those years have huge implications for the importance and role of the state as it evolved into the twenty-first century outside parliamentary control. Clive Bloom is the author of Violent London and Riot City, among many other titles.

A Cold War Front-Line Operations in Bosnia 1995–1996 Brigadier Ben Barry Foreword by Martin Bell A unique insight into the decisive role the British Army played in ending the Bosnian war, including first-hand descriptions of confrontations with ruthless warlords The savage Bosnian civil war was ended politically by the Dayton Peace Agreement, but it had to be implemented on the ground by NATO. How this was done by Second Battalion the Light Infantry is explained in a richly detailed analysis of dangerous and challenging missions. The challenges of military operations in the war-torn Balkans are illustrated with vivid descriptions of operations and incidents—often in the words of the soldiers themselves. Writing in the Fore- word, the BBC journalist Martin Bell summarizes their role: “The troops risked their lives to save the lives of others, swept away the road blocks and restored a minimal peace in Bosnia after three and a half years of war. I remember reflecting, not for the first time, on the extraordinary quality of the British troops participating. They interpreted their mandates bravely. They made a difference.” Brigadier Ben Barry joined the Light Infantry in 1976. He returned to Bosnia to command a NATO Multinational Brigade in 2003. Martin Bell is a former broadcast war reporter for the BBC and former politician.

He is as prolific a correspondent as ever, but the publication of new essay collections produces a striking change in tone, as readers seek clarification of his ideas. Many of these letters throw substantive new light on his thought, and deal with issues of overriding importance to today’s world. Berlin dwells on pluralism of values and cultures, political liberalism, the defense of democracy, and the challenge posed by fundamentalism. But there is also a generous leavening of gossip to close friends, reflections on music, the arts, and artists, as well as a Shakespearean fascination with the variety of humankind. He reacts, as always, to world events: the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians; the fall of Communism; the Falklands, Gulf, and Bosnian wars; and he observes the leading players on the world stage. He declines a peerage, wins the Agnelli Prize for ethics, campaigns against the “carbuncle” proposed by the National Gallery, helps run Covent Garden, talks at length to his biographer, and works with his editor on new volumes of his writings. Af- firming is the crowning achievement both of Berlin’s epistolary life and of the acclaimed edition of his letters that began publication 11 years ago. Isaiah Berlin (1909–1997) was a noted political philosopher and is widely regarded as one of the leading liberal thinkers of the 20th century. He was awarded the Erasmus, Lippincott, and Agnelli prizes for his contributions to philosophy. Henry Hardy has edited more than 15 volumes of Berlin’s letters and writings. Mark Pottle is an Oxford historian. Biography • 608 Pages • 6 x 9 9781784740085 • December • $75.00 (NCR) Cloth • Rights: US • Chatto & Windus

“An important introduction to Burma . . . comprehensive, vivid, and powerful.” —Archbishop Desmond Tutu For more than 50 years, Burma has been ruled by a succession of military regimes which rank among the most oppressive dictatorships in the world. Accused of crimes against humanity, they have brutally mistreated their people. Yet in the last couple of years, and in spite of sham elections, the pace of change has been breathtaking. Much is now hoped for. However, Burma is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in Southeast Asia: there are roughly seven major ethnic groups living along its borders. They have a long history of conflict with the government and have been cruelly treated by the current regime. Their future affects the country as a whole, as Benedict Rogers explains. Drawing heavily on his many fact-finding visits both inside Burma and along its frontiers, he gives a unique appraisal of the current ethnic situation and its implications for the nation as a whole. Wide-ranging, expertly researched, and full of brand new accounts of the courage and determination of the Burmese people, Burma: A Nation at the Crossroads explains the country’s conflicted history, as well as its contemporary struggle for justice. Burma stands poised for freedom, or for further repression. No one can be sure. This fascinating and accessible book describes what is really happening inside this beautiful, secretive, and potentially prosperous country. Benedict Rogers is a writer and human rights advocate. He’s a regular contributor to the Guardian, International Herald Tribune, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal, and has given briefings and speeches at Oxford University, the White House, Congress, European Parliament, and other venues. He is the author of A Land Without Evil and Than Shwe: Unmasking Burma’s Tyrant. Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a Nobel Prize–winning human rights activist who served as chair of South Africa’s Truth and Recon- ciliation Commission to investigate apartheid-era crimes.

The Girl Who Said No An Eleven-Year-Ol’d Fight Against Forced Marriage Rekha Kalindi Translated by Mouhssine Ennaimi The true story of one girl who said “no” to tradition, and the effect it had upon a nation In a remote village in Bengal, 11-year-old Rekha and her large family lived by rolling handmade cigarettes. She frequently observed the abrupt departure of her friends to go live with their mothers-in-law, where they were often treated like slaves. In spite of her youth, Rekha was aware of the harm done to these little girls. When, in their turn, her parents found a husband for her, a man she didn’t know, she flew into a blinding rage at the idea of being taken away from any further schooling for good. After that, Rekha went from village to village to tell her story, and especially to explain the tragic consequences of early marriages. Thanks to her, several dozen children found the courage to say no to this tribal tradition. Her story gained national attention with India’s newspaper hailing her for accomplishing change that the India government was in- capable of making. Her exemplary journey gained her the recognition of the highest courts in the land, she has had an audience with the Indian President, and she is a recipient of India’s National Bravery Award. Written with the collaboration of Mouhssine Ennaimi, a distinguished reporter for Radio France, The Girl Who Said No, translated from Ennaimi’s acclaimed French edition is a documentary portrait of one girl’s monumental struggle. Mouhssine Ennaimi is a reporter for Radio France, resident in Asia as their special reporter for the past six years. She’s been called a leader and an icon for sharing the story of 11-year-old Rekha Kalindi, who refused to be married off and wanted to attend school instead. She and her classmates now give lectures at community meetings urging other families to oppose child marriage. In the past wedding season, there were no child marriages in her village.

A small warren of narrow hutongs, the Badlands sat just inside the eastern flank of the Tartar Wall, which at that time enclosed the old Imperial City of Peking. Its habitués were a mix of the good, the bad, and the poor unfortunates, among them the fiery brothel madams Brana Shazker and Rosie Gerbert; the pimp Saxsen, who had no regard for the women he exploited; and the young prostitutes Marie and Peggy, whose dreadful working lives drove them into separate pits of madness and addiction. There was the cabaret dancer Tatiana Korovina, a White Russian girl who did not succumb to the vice of the district but instead married, had a family, and eventually left China to lead a long and happy life. There was the American Joe Knauf, who dealt violence and fear as well as drugs, and finally the enigmatic Shura Giraldi, of indeterminate sex, who was to some a charmer and to others a master criminal, but to everyone the uncrowned King of the Badlands. Paul French is the author of Midnight in Peking, for which he won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime and the CWA Nonfiction Dagger, and North Korea: The Paranoid Peninsula.

Inside Alcatraz My Time on the Rock Jim Quillen One man’s searing account of life inside the world’s most notorious prison, from desperation to redemption Each day we saw the outside world in all its splendor, and each day that view served as a reminder that we had wasted and ruined our lives. Jim Quillen, AZ586—a runaway, problem child, and petty thief—was jailed several times before his 20th birthday. In August 1942, after escaping from San Quentin, he was arrested on the run and sentenced to 45 years in prison, and later transferred to Alcatraz. This is the true story of life inside America’s most notorious prison—from terrifying times in solitary confinement to daily encounters with “the Birdman,” and what really happened during the desperate and deadly 1946 escape attempt. Jim Quillen (1919–1998) was sentenced to 45 years behind bars at the age of 22. He saw the inside of Alcatraz Island and, many years later, he returned to the island, which by that time was part of the National Park Service system.

I Leap Over the Wall A Return to the World after 28 Years in a Convent Monica Baldwin First published in 1949, one woman’s memoir of nearly three decades in a convent, and her readjustment to the contemporary world “A sympathetically written and extraordinarily interesting account of one of the strangest and most disturbing experiences a modern woman ever lived through.” —Daily Mail

“Straightforward, quiet, and sincere. Profoundly interesting.” —Spectator At the age of 21, Monica Baldwin entered one of the oldest and most strictly enclosed contem- plative orders of the Roman Catholic Church. At the age of 48, and after struggling with her vocation for many years, she obtained a special rescript from Rome and left the convent. But the world Monica had known and forsaken in 1914 was very different to the world into which she emerged at the height of World War II. This is the fascinating account of one woman’s two very different lives, with revealing descriptions of the world of a novice, the duties of a nun’s day, and the spiritual aspects of convent life. Interwoven with these are the trials and tribulations of coping with a new and alien world, as the author is confronted with fashions, interventions, politics, and art totally unfamiliar to her. Written in the post-war years, this reissue is as fresh and engaging today as it ever was. Humor, intelligence, an endearing humility, and a searing honesty all characterize this remarkable classic, giving readers both a glimpse into a hidden world and a unique view on one more familiar. Monica Baldwin (1893–1975) was the niece of former UK Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin who lived as a nun for 28 years before deciding to return to a normal life. She is the author of The Called and the Chosen and Goose in the Jungle: A Flight Round the World with Digressions.

274 My Story So Far Fighting for Peace in the Middle East Andrew White The memoir of the man dubbed the “Vicar of Baghdad” Andrew White is something of a legend: a man of great charm and energy, whose personal suffering has not deflected him from his important ministry of reconciliation. Andrew grew up in London, the son of strongly religious parents: by the age of five he could repeat the five points of Calvinism. As a child and young man he was frequently ill, but his considerable intelligence meant that his studies did not suffer. He set his heart on becoming an anaesthetist, an ambition he achieved, only to be redirected by God to Anglican ministry. Since ordination he has had a considerable role in the work of reconciliation, both between Christian and Jew and between Shi’ite and Sunni Muslim. Often in danger, and always in pain, he has nevertheless been able to mediate between opposing extremes. A man of God, he is trusted by those who trust very few. Andrew White, the vicar of St George’s Church in Baghdad, has extensive experience of conflict mediation in Iraq and the wider Middle East. President and CEO of the Foundation for Reconciliation in the Middle East, launched in 2005, he has written extensively about conflict resolution and has been involved in many hostage negotiations. He is author of Faith Under Fire and The Vicar of Baghdad.

A convinced pacifist, Awdry was thrown out of one curacy and denied another during World War II, because of his beliefs. He was a man of courage, who believed that you should live by certain rules. He built his imaginary world on the island of Sodor on these rules, and showed how those who transgressed them would always be “punished, but never scrapped,” as he said. The Thomas the Tank Engine Man is a charming biography and a fascinating insight into the life of Reverend W. Awdry. First published 20 years ago before the Britt Allcroft/Ringo Starr animations took Thomas to a worldwide TV generation, this biography is now fully revised and updated. Brian Sibley is the author of The Land of Narnia and Shadlowlands: The True Story of C. S. Lewis and Joy Davidman. He is also known for his highly acclaimed BBC serializa- tions of the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings.

Home Truths Myth Dusting by the Lady of the House Mandy Nolan A comedian and writer explores the significance of place in relationship to self—what it is about home that is so intrinsic to our sense of self and what it says about our place in the world This is a book about who we are in the place where we live, and why, and about who we are when no one is watching, when the doors are closed and the pants come off. Mandy leaves no corner of the suburban psyches undisturbed in her cleanout of our comfort cob- webs, using her comedic talents to unearth insights buried behind closed doors. She tackles such questions as Do shared houses unleash the hidden and very messy inner monster hiding within us all? What does your rental property say about your approach to life? What will the neighbors learn by perving through your windows or rummaging through the leftover detritus of past relationships that now grace your garage sale? and Were people less troubled by obesity when their chairs and beds were more uncomfortable and pain forced them to get up earlier and rest less? Have plasma TVs and plush-cushioned comfort made us fat? It was on her knees unpacking the dishwasher that she had one of her most important epiphanies: “Life is not all about choice. Sometimes it’s about subjugating one’s own desires and ego at the service of the mundane. My daily rituals, my chores, the endless grind, this is the anvil that anchors my ego to the ground, that stops me floating skywards, becoming puffed up and unbearable.” Here, Mandy explores the symptoms and the roots of this love of comfort, tracing our deluded nostalgia for the past and the disappointment that is the result of going back to revisit the buildings and landmarks of your past. Mandy Nolan is a comedian, a speaker, an author, and a coach known for her rapid fire observations of what she describes as “a woman whose dilemma it is to navigate the new frontiers in the suburban badlands of human relationships.” She is a columnist for the Byron Shire Echo, writes regularly for The Hoopla and Mamamia, and produces video clips for the echonetdaily SoapBox. Home Truths is her third memoir. Humor/Memoir • 224 Pages • 6 x 8.5 9781925048377 • September • $17.95 (Can $21.95) Paper • Rights: US & Canada • Finch Publishing

Crowdfunding The Corporate Era Dan Marom, Richard Swart, and Kevin Berg Grell The crowdfunding revolution—essential reading for all corporates, from midsize to multinational Crowdfunding is powerful because it transcends finance; the mechanism is a vehicle for marketing, innovation, market validation, sales, and intrapreneurship—functions that are essential to the survival of all businesses, large or small. While crowdfunding was originally seen as a mechanism for entrepreneurs to raise capital for startups, we are now seeing how it can be used by multinational companies to transform their operations. This book—the first to tackle the subject—will show you how innovative global corporations have started to use crowdfunding, and how your business might also benefit. The first era of crowdfunding was defined by the entrepreneur; the second will be defined by the enterprise. Dan Marom is the author of The Crowdfunding Revolution. Richard Swart is director of Uni- versity of California–Berkeley’s research program on innovative entrepreneurial finance and a recognized authority on crowdfunding. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kevin Berg Grell is CEO of Xtensio and consults for companies on the implications of crowdfunding and other forms of online retail investment.

280 Debtonator How Debt Favours the Few and Equity Can Work for Us All Andrew McNally A powerful argument that transcends left vs. right to address one of the most pressing problems of our era We are all swamped in debt. Households, corporations, governments—debt has become so ingrained in our culture, it is an unquestioned fact of life. But it has not always been this way. And there is increasing evidence that this model is damaging both business and society. Debt leaves control and ownership in the hands of too few: it is a direct source of extreme inequality. However, there is another way of bankrolling our economic future: equity. This book argues that, by broadening direct ownership of assets through equity, we can make everyone better off—not just the few. There is value in equity way beyond what financiers, economists, investment bankers, and many corporate CEOs will tell you. It is the value of aligned interests, of trust and fairness, of optimism and patience, of stability and simplicity, of shared endeavor. Only when we unleash this value will economic democracy secure the political democracy that we cherish. Andrew McNally has spent 25 years in the investment industry, both as an institutional inves- tor and a stockbroker, for companies such as Sun Alliance, Henderson, Morgan Stanley, and Berenberg. During that time he has met the founders and senior management of hundreds of companies in which he has invested clients’ money, and has written for the Daily Telegraph on politics and finance.

Chinese Whispers Why Everything You’ve Heard About China Is Wrong Ben Chu A corrective to Western assumptions about modern China

“Chu’s smart, iconoclastic portrait dismantles seven misconceptions—or “whispers”— to let in light on a heterogeneous nation about which it is impossible to generalize.” —New Statesman The Chinese are the most hardworking people on earth—so why are the younger generation derided as spoiled and lazy? Chinese people don’t care about political freedom—so why is the country’s internet exploding with anti-regime dissent? China will one day rule the world—so why do the country’s political leaders feel so insecure? Perhaps it is time to stop engaging in a centuries-old game of Chinese whispers in which the facts have become more and more distorted in the telling. Ben Chu examines the myths that have come to dominate our view of the world’s most populous nation, forcing us to question everything we thought we knew about it. The result is a penetrating and provocative insight into China today. Ben Chu is the economics editor of the Independent.

Down and Out Today Notes from the Gutter Matthew Small A comparison between impoverished communities in UK and India explores the meaning of poverty today, questioning whether it’s specific only to money What does poverty mean today? Writer Matthew Small seeks to answer this question and witness the similarities and differences between poverty in the UK and India. Poverty stretches across all of humanity and by traveling East, Small encounters the raw faces of poverty in India’s slums; he works in a leprosy community, and joins the Sisters of Mercy on the smoggy and exhilarating streets in Calcutta. He then returns to the UK to see what the passing of three months means to those who are scarred by one of the most unglamorous of all humanities’ ills, being poor. Small engages with different community members who are living with poverty, to answer these long standing questions: What’s keeping them down? What’s pushing them out? And how can we move forward? Matthew Small is a fiction writer and freelance journalist. In 2012 he embarked on a trip to the Holy Land to further his political understanding of the area, which is documented in his debut book The Wall Between Us.

284 The New Laws of Psychology Why Nature and Nurture Alone Can’t Explain Human Behaviour Peter Kinderman A controversial and ground-breaking new popular science title that looks at how “mental illness” needs to be completely redefined This controversial book describes how human behavior—thoughts, emotions, actions, and mental health—can be largely explained if we understand how people make sense of their world and how that framework of understanding has been learned. Published following the publication of the new edition of the controversial Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the book challenges notions such as “mental illness” and “abnormal psychology” as old-fashioned, demeaning, and invalid, and argues that diagnoses such as “depression” and “schizophrenia” are unhelpful. Witten by an expert in his field, and accessible to all those interested in and affected by mental health issues, this book will change the way we define mental illness forever. Peter Kinderman is professor of clinical psychology and head of the Institute of Psychology, Health and Society at the University of Liverpool.

What the **** Is Normal?! Francesca Martinez The debut book by award-winning comedian Francesca Martinez If you grow up in a world where wrinkles are practically illegal, going bald is cause for a mental breakdown, and women over size zero are encouraged to shoot themselves (immediately), what the hell do you do if you’re, gasp, disabled? Author Francesca Martinez was diagnosed with ce- rebral palsy when she was two years old and her parents were gravely told that she would never lead a “normal” life. This is a very funny, moving celebration and exploration of learning to be happy with who you are. Neither an autobiography nor a self-help book, it’s a powerful and political call-to-arms that rails against the relentless media bombardment of what is culturally perceived as “normal.” Award-winning comedian Francesca Martinez tells her funny, personal, and universal story of how she learned to stick two shaky fingers up to the crazy expectations of a world obsessed with being “normal.” Francesca Martinez is a stand-up comedian and actress. She has performed at Caroline’s, 92Y Tribeca, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, the Laugh Factory, and the Comedy Store.

Unsingle The Art and Science of Finding True Love Louise Gabriel Are you single and sick of it, and are you ready to flip the switch in your life and start playing for team love? Take a 10-step journey to help refire and rewire the neural pathways in your brain related to love. This book blends creative processes with fascinating neuroscience and shows you how to change your relationship destiny and become a lifelong, card-carrying member of Team Love. The steps are designed with one goal in mind—to bring true love into your life; the kind that stands the test of time and lasts forever. How exactly? Unsingle begins by debunking the myth that there is a random love god out there be- stowing favors on a lucky few. You’ll learn how your brain responds to what you give your focused attention to; how neuroscience backs up the old adage, “what you look for is what you will find,” and how believing in true love can create a self-fulfilling prophe- cy. You’ll hear about the “Yay! Experiment,” the “Singing Grocer,” Einstein’s favorite mind tool, and the importance of “Minding the Gap.” It teaches you processes to reduce trips down “Pain Highway,” and clever tools to navigate any “Bumps in the Road” along the way, putting you on love’s superhighway where all the lights are green. So if you’re ready to have some fun and unsingle yourself forever, let’s get to it. Retraining your brain for love starts now. Louise Gabriel is a former bookshop manager whose professional life led to a keen interest in neuroscience and plasticity, in which she explores what neuroscience can teach us about relationships.

Lower Cholesterol Reduce Blood Pressure & Stress Catherine Butterfield Easy to understand guide to cholesterol, blood pressure, and stress, from risk factors to treatment and prevention The global statistics around coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke are truly alarming. The rates of high blood pressure and cholesterol, both major risk factors of the above conditions, are also extraordinary. The tragedy is that the rates are rising worldwide, despite how easy it can be in many circumstances to reduce risk. Lower Choles- terol looks at what high cholesterol and high blood pressure are and why they can be so dangerous, and, in particular, why atherosclerosis, or plaque build-up in the arteries, is the most significant consequence of these conditions and causal factor of heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease. Risk factors associated with high blood pressure and cholesterol and treatments, including nonpharmacological intervention, are also explored. Finally, Lower Cholesterol looks at the ways we can reduce or reverse our risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and, ultimately, our risk of heart attack, stroke and coronary heart disease. Catherine Butterfield is a regular contributor to Australian daily newspapers, including the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald, and magazines including the Royal Botanic Gardens publication Floreo.

But this book is more than just a straight re-telling of history, Twitter is perhaps the most potent and versatile phenomenon yet thrown up by the web and the authors have created a fresh, hilarious, original and just occasionally (sort of) educational book which takes full advantage of the huge popularity of Twitter.

One computer. Hundreds of bizarre, funny, and irritating e-mails. “Don’t ever, ever send this office an e-mail like this again.” —Penny Hart, psychic In his own inimitable style, Raymond Delauney can flatter, agitate and enrage at the stroke of a keyboard. From job applications to complaints about global warming, hunting down Jeremy Clarkson’s contact details and arguing with a psychic’s dreadful foresight, The Timewasters’ Emails contains copious amounts of biting correspondence to keep readers laughing out loud until the final page. Kingsley Amis once remarked, ‘’If you can’t annoy somebody, there’s little point in writing.” Delauney has certainly taken this advice into the 21st century as he embarks on a mission to antagonize as many people as he can—via e-mail. Convincingly adopting a number of different guises, including a job applicant, salesman, disgruntled customer, and inventor, one thing remains constant—Delauney’s ability to irritate and provoke whoever he engages in correspondence. This book is a Henry Root updated for our times. While the names and e-mail addresses have been changed, the e-mails themselves are very, very real. Raymond Delauney is the nom de plume of a journalist and sports editor at AOL online. He also cowrites a column in the Daily Mirror. He has ghosted Stan Bowles’ autobiography and his columns in Loaded and FourFourTwo. Humor • 224 Pages • 5.25 x 8.5 9781853759260 • November • $14.95 (NCR) Paper • Rights: US • Prion

Something Nasty in the Slushpile Sammy Looker Illustrated by The Brothers McLeod A hilarious and salutary rummage through the perils of the publisher’s slushpile

“If you’re thinking about publishing a book this should be required reading before you even go near a publisher.” —Bookbag Most publishers keep a “slushpile”—the stack of unsolicited manuscripts which contains a large percentage of preposterous or frightening book proposals, which might just conceal that one jewel of a bestseller or classic novel lying near the bottom. Authors discovered via the slush pile include Roddy Doyle, J. K. Rowling, and Philip Roth. Stephenie Meyer sent 15 query letters about her teenage-vampire saga and got nearly 10 rejection letters, while Kathryn Stockett’s The Help was turned down 60 times before becoming a bestseller. Sadly, these are the exceptions. Written by a reader with more than a decade of slush pile experience, this book takes a tour through the dos and don’ts of book proposal, including many examples of hilarious, misguided, and plain weird approaches. Sammy Looker, the aptly named reader at Constable, joined the firm in 1923 and was still there 40 years later. It was always possible to tell when a manuscript had been read by Looker as the pages tended to stick together, given Looker’s tendency to eat fishpaste sandwiches while reading. The author of Something Nasty in the Slush Pile has chosen to use Sammy’s name as a nom de plume. The Brothers McLeod include Greg McLeod, an illustrator and animator, and Myles, a writer. They work together to develop characters, narratives, stories, and to invent worlds. Their work includes Breeds: A Canine Compendi- um and Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops.

317 You Can’t Give Vodka to a Baby And Other Parenting Myths Dr. Oliver Green, BSA These techniques for seeing through the manipulative need- iness of children offer a refreshing and often legal take on modern parenting It’s been said that it takes a village to raise a child. But how do you choose the right village to leave your child with—and what if that village won’t take your child? You could just leave your child outside the village and run away, but most village-people are excellent trackers and will know the surrounding terrain better than you so they’ll probably catch you. No. The answer is, you’ll have to raise the child yourself. Dr. Oliver has rushed this guide out to help you navigate the next 12 to 18 years of your life without falling to prey to cuteness or to feelings of blind, unconditional love that parents often suffer from. Delivered in bite-sized chunks of nutritious information much like bite-sized chunks of nutritious McDonald’s Happy Meals, this book will give any parent the advice and confidence to raise their children into adults that probably won’t end up in jail or on drugs, and to build relationships slightly deeper than any you may have seen on reality TV shows. Dr. Oliver Green, BSA, brings a unique insight into raising children having absolutely none of his own and having no formal education past high school. But what he lacks in “book learning” he more than makes up for in life experience having been a baby, a toddler, and a child himself, and hearing lots of the guys he was detained with talking about their kids on the outside.

319 Too Much Information Or: Can Everyone Just Shut Up for a Moment, Some of Us Are Trying to Think Dave Gorman Award-winning comedian Dave Gorman thinks we’re suffering from information over- load. How much do we really pay attention to? What happens if you stop and try to take it all in? Dave intends to find out.

“In the study of modern miscellany Dave Gorman is the equivalent of a professor emeritus.” —Independent “Gorman’s self-deprecating wit and irrational dedication to his quest make this a hilarious travelogue.” —Booklist on Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure It’s hard to imagine a world where anything you could possibly want to know about—and everything you don’t even know you want to know about—isn’t accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with just a few taps of our fingers. But that world once existed. And Dave Gorman remembers it. He remembers when there were only three channels on TV. He remembers when mobile phones were the preserve of arrogant estate agents and yuppie twonks. And he remembers when you had to unplug your phone to plug the computer into the landline in order to use the (cripplingly slow) internet. Nowadays of course, the world is full of people trying to tell us things. So much so that we have taught our brains not to pay much attention. After all, click the mouse, tap the screen, flick the channel, and it’s on to the next thing. But Dave Gorman thinks it’s time to have a closer look, to find out how much nonsense we tacitly accept. Suspicious ads, baffling newspaper headlines, fake Twitter, endless cat videos, insane TV shows where the presenters ask the same questions over and over—can we even hear ourselves think over the rising din? Or is there just too much information? Dave Gorman is an award-winning comedian, storyteller, and writer. His live shows have won many awards and he is the only performer to twice win the Jury Prize for Best One Person Show at the prestigious HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. He has appeared in such TV shows as Absolutely Fabulous, Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. His documentary film, America Unchained, won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Austin Film Festival. He is the author of Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure.

320 What I Would Do If I Were You Dispatches from the Frontlines of Family Life Mandy Nolan A comedian’s hilarious, sharply observed take on the bizarre events that make up day- to-day family life

“Mandy Nolan’s stock-in-trade is motherhood and children. . . . This is comedy built on telling the truth—and it is very, very funny.” —Sydney Morning Herald Every morning I wake up and I think, today, I am going to be a nice person. But I can’t do it. By 8 o’clock I have lost my mind. Every day my kids act like the whole concept of getting up and going to school is a brand new idea. ‘What, we’re going to school? Really, what a surprise!’ Of all the parenting routines, it’s the morning routine that turns my head inside out. Welcome to the wonderful, slightly wacky world of Mandy Nolan. She is a stand-up comedian, an artist, and a mother of five children ranging in age from toddler to teenager. Her on-stage accounts of everyday events of family life have entertained audiences for years. This hilarious collection of stories centered around Mandy’s chaotic and slightly dysfunctional family life—and her attempts to be like the perfect, ideal mother she knows exists, somewhere. Mandy’s perspective on home life and all its complications is delightfully unconventional and, above all, wickedly funny. Her humorous take on the bizarre events and mundanities of daily life are honestly and sharply observed—whether it is trying to revive her children’s dying guinea pig, coping with their Facebook friends, explaining the dangers of sex and drugs (while hoping desperately they don’t find out about her own past indiscretions), battling against head lice, or struggling to regain her own disappearing self-identity. Mandy Nolan is a comedian, speaker, author, and coach known for her rapid fire observations of what she describes as “a woman whose dilemma it is to navigate the new frontiers in the suburban badlands of human relationships.” Mandy is a columnist for the Byron Shire Echo, writes regularly for The Hoopla and Mamamia and produces video clips for the echonetdaily SoapBox. Home Truths is her third memoir. Humor/Memoir • 224 Pages • 6 x 8.5 • 10 B/W Illustrations 9781925048131 • October • $17.95 (Can $21.95) Paper • Rights: US & Canada • Finch Publishing

324 Lewis Hamilton The Biography Frank Worrall Formula 1 racer and BBC Sports Personality of the Year award-winner Lewis Hamilton is quickly moving towards becoming Britain’s greatest ever racer Lewis Hamilton is the record-breaking young British hero of Formula 1. His phenomenal de- but season was nothing short of a revelation, coming through against all the odds to dominate and revolutionize the world of motor racing. It was an outcome no one could have predicted: thrown in at the deep end “on a mighty whim” by McLaren team owner Ron Dennis, not only did Lewis have to combat his own nerves and fears, he had to overcome a dissenter within his own camp. With behind-the-scenes insight into the intense rivalry between Hamilton and his teammate Fernando Alonso which threatened to derail the young Briton’s dream, and the low-down on the “spy-gate” scandal, this biography describes how Lewis handled the intensity of the media scrutiny around his relationship with Nicole Scherzinger and kept his dignity to emerge triumphant as he racked up sensational wins around the world. Now he has even joined iconic speedsters Damon Hill and Bradly Wiggins as a BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner. From his momentous clinching of the 2014 World Championship in Abu Dhabi to the bitter rivalry with former friend Nico Rosberg—which culminated in the German engineering a deliberate high-speed crash—bestselling sports author Frank Worrall traces the slipstream of Hamilton’s incredible career as the fastest driver on the planet. This is the ultimate story of the driver whom Sir Jackie Stewart says “has re-written the rookie rule book.” But he is a rookie no more. Lewis Hamilton has accelerated into pole position to be called Britain’s greatest ever race driver. Frank Worrall is a journalist who writes regularly for the Sun and the Sunday Times. He is the author of The Magnificent Sevens, Giggsy, and Rory McIlroy.

327 101 Damnations Dispatches from the 101st Tour de France Ned Boulting A funny and irreverent look behind the scenes at the 2014 Tour de France Join Ned Boulting as he reports on his 12th Tour de France, an event in which men do amazing things on bikes, and, we’re oft told, the biggest annual sporting event in the world. This account is a chance to relive the 2014 race, stage for stage, fall after fall, tantrum by tantrum; just the good parts, mind you, without all the aerial shots of castles. Or sunflow- ers. (Though it does wax lyrical about some stunning Alpine scenery . . . and, with the race starting in Yorkshire, even some stunning scenery not far from Bradford). From Leeds to Paris (how often do you say that?), Ned details the minutiae of his encounters with the likes of Vincenzo Nibali, David Millar, Chris Froome, Chris Boardman (or “Broadman” as some would have it), Marcel Kittel, Mrs. Cavendish (Mark’s wife), Peter Sagan, and the rest. Their endeavors, achievements, humor, and occasional rancor sit alongside his own decade-long quest for the ideal end-of-race T-shirt. Ned weaves together the interesting, amusing, and unheralded threads of the race itself, and reflects on his own perennial struggle to get round, get on, and get by. 101 Damnations encapsulates all that is incredible—and incredibly ordinary—about the greatest race on earth. Ned Boulting is a soccer reporter for ITV and has presented seven Tours of Britain, the Vuelta España, the Tour of California, as well as the Tour Series and the inaugural Women’s Tour. He is the author of How I Won the Yellow Jumper and On the Road Bike. Sports Cycling • 288 Pages • 5 x 8 • 35 B/W Photos 9780224099943 • September • $16.95 (NCR) Paper • Rights: US • Yellow Jersey

329 Training with Power Meters Louis Passfield Foreword by Rob Hayles Power meters are the ultimate tool for cyclists in training, and here they can learn how best to use them The last quarter of a century has seen major developments in the world of cycling. Heart- rate monitors, GPS, and smartphone apps are used by riders of all abilities up and down the country as part of their training program, but it is the power meter that really stands out as the ultimate tool for any cyclist who wishes to train to their full potential. Power has become the common currency of training discussions amongst the growing number of cyclists who have splashed out on a power meter. But does the average cyclist fully understand the figures displayed on their bike computer screens and, even if they do, can they use that information in the most effective way? Professor Louis Passfield was the first scientist in the UK to work and study with power meters. In this book, he shares some of his vast experience and shows that you don’t have to be a pro cyclist, triathlete, or coach to reap the benefits of training with a power meter. Louis Passfield is an applied sports scientist and an academic with expertise in training and elite performance. He is a consultant for the English Institute of Sport and has worked as sports scientist with the British Cycling team preparing for a number of Olym- pic Games. Rob Hayles is an Olympic track and road racing champion cyclist.

330 Playing It My Way My Autobiography Sachin Tendulkar The autobiography of the highest-scoring batsman of all time The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award—India’s highest civilian honor—on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story, from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill. When a boisterous Mumbai youngster’s excess energies were channeled into cricket, what resulted were record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India’s batting lineup, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation’s devoted followers. Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style—scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mum- bai. His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure, from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain. Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank, revealing account of a sporting life like no other. Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut in Pakistan at the age of 16 in 1989. One of the most gifted and entertaining batsmen to have played international cricket, he scored more runs and made more centuries than any other player in history.

The Bradman Museum’s World of Cricket Mike Coward Photographs by Philip Brown The Bradman Museum, a monument to the greatest cricketer of all time, celebrates its 25th anniversary in time for Australia to stage the 11th ICC World Cup of Cricket To mark the 25th anniversary milestone at a time when the eyes of the cricketing world will be on Australia, this book reveals for the first time in print the founding treasure of the Bradman Museum: the Don’s personal collection of 35 mm slides. With Brad- man’s typed commentary and handwritten amendments alongside, the slides showcase the history of cricket, from its agrarian beginnings in England to its status as a game of Empire, fit for introduction to the colonies. Grace, Hobbs, Hendren, Larwood, O’Reilly, McCabe, Lindwall, Trueman—on these legends and many more Bradman gives us his opinion with characteristic directness. We gain insight into the game as he saw it in all its magic. While Bradman’s personal slide collection forms the center- piece of this stunning collection, the work of three of cricket’s greatest photographers are also featured. Among Bruce Postle’s black and white photos from the 1960s and 1970s are iconic shots that will thrill any cricket lover. Vivian Jenkins’ work brings to life the drama of the 1970s and World Series Cricket, while Philip Brown’s camera ranges across international cricket up to the present day. This treasure trove of cricket is woven seamlessly together by the matchless commentary of Mike Coward, one of Australia’s most acclaimed experts. Mike Coward is a cricket journalist, commentator, and author, and is recognized as an international authority on cricket and its history. Coward has written on the game in major publications for many years, and made five visits to the Indian subcontinent with Australian teams in the 1980s.

Louis van Gaal The Biography Maarten Meijer The first definitive insider biography of the new Manchester United manager

“Compelling . . . lifts the lid on the Dutchman they call the Iron Tulip.” —Daily Mail So who is Louis van Gaal? An inflexible ex-PE teacher who only knows how to act like a dictator, or a soccer visionary that has made him one of the greatest ever European managers? Wherever he has gone, van Gaal has been accused of being a domineering disciplinarian and a control freak. He is certainly, by his own admission, a man who leaves nothing to chance. A disciple in the 1970s of Rinus Michels’ Total Football philosophy, he is a fascinating contradiction—an ultra-individualist utterly devoted to the collective effort. He believes in the team over the individual, in always having a plan, and a team prepared to follow that plan. Van Gaal led the young Ajax team he molded to Champions League glory in 1995, went on to win titles across Europe with Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar, and Bayern Munich, and is currently in his second stint as national coach of Holland. Dutch soccer commentator Maarten Meijer’s has written the definitive biography of van Gaal—both the man and his methods. It offers the best psychological insight so far—from his earliest roots to his greatest triumphs—into the man given the task of returning the glory days to Manchester United. Maarten Meijer is a Dutch soccer commentator who has written books on van Gaal, Guus Hiddink, and Dick Advocaat.

But it hasn’t been at its best for some time. Disillusioned by corruption scandals, billionaire club owners, and an ever-smaller group of title challengers, Martin Calladine drifted away from the game that had defined 25 years of his life. He found solace in an unexpected place: American football. Despite the glitz and the endless ad breaks, the NFL has a curiously Corinthian purity: pre- venting teams buying success by sharing TV money equally, having a strict salary cap, and, with the draft, letting the worst teams get the pick of the best new players. The Ugly Game is a funny, angry book of essays for fans of European soccer setting out where the game has gone wrong and showing that, perhaps surprisingly, the NFL has many of the answers. Martin Calladine is a freelance writer who spent 15 years in advertising. He once received several nominations for “most thoughtful poster of the year” on a soccer forum.

338 Proud My Autobiography Gareth Thomas The inspiring story of one of the first professional athletes to come out while still playing

“Astonishingly powerful.” —Times “Offers an enthralling insight into a world and a struggle to which we are rarely given access. . . . Thomas’ story is a harrowing reminder that sportsmen are as vulnerable as the rest of us. . . . The honesty with which Thomas presents his many dark moments makes this an absolute must-read. An eye-opening glimpse into the inner turmoil of a national hero.” —Sport Magazine Gareth Thomas had it all. He was a national hero and a sports icon. He was a leader of men, the captain of Wales and the British Lions. To him, rugby was an expression of cultural identity, a sacred code. It was no mere ball game. It gave him everything, except the freedom to be himself. This is the story of a man with a secret that was slowly killing him; a secret that might devastate not only his own life but the lives of his wife, family, friends, and teammates. The only place where he could find any refuge from the pain and guilt of the lie he was living was on the pitch, playing the sport he loved. But all his success didn’t make the strain of hiding who he really was go away. His fear that telling the truth about his sexuality would lose him everything he loved almost sent him over the edge. The deceit ended when Gareth became the world’s most prominent athlete to come out as a gay man. His gesture has strengthened strangers, and given him a fresh perspective. Gareth’s inspiring and moving story transcends the world of sports to tell a universal truth about feeling like an outsider, and facing up to who you really are. Proud was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2014. Gareth Thomas played rugby union for Bridgend, Celtic Warriors, Toulouse, and Cardiff Blues, winning 100 international caps for Wales and captaining the British and Irish Lions. In 2010 he switched to rugby league, playing for the Crusaders RL, and for Wales. He retired from rugby in October 2011. Gareth announced publicly in 2009 that he is gay, and was voted the most influential gay person by Stonewall that year. He is a dedicated supporter of the charity Childline.

No Limits My Autobiography Ian Poulter Professional golfer Ian Poulter here lays his life bare, from his early days of working in a club shop through his rise to becoming one of the biggest names on the tour Ian Poulter is one of golf’s most charismatic figures, with an appeal extending way beyond his sport. Here he tells his inspirational story, from his early rejection as an Spurs youth player, right through to his match-winning contributions to successive European Ryder Cup Triumphs. Poulter went from an Assistant Professional staffing the club shop to a global superstar, turning pro when he still had a handicap of 4 but the drive and self-belief to make it to the top. His infectious optimism, will power, and flair have ensured he remains one of the biggest names on the tour. As well as insights into the crucial moments in his career, and the life of a professional golfer, he talks about his passions outside the game, including his own riotous brand of clothing. Just as Poulter’s appearance on the scene came as a refreshing antidote to a sport that was staid and stuffy, so his own book is as forthright and passionate as Poults himself. Ian Poulter is an English professional golfer who has won 12 times on the European Tour and twice on the PGA Tour, and has one of the best Ryder Cup records. He lives in Or- lando, Florida.

339 Rickie Fowler Par Excellence Frank Worrall The biography of a young golfer’s continuing ascent to the top of the game He’s the leader of America’s exciting new wave of golfing superstars. Young, fun, and gifted, Rickie Fowler has taken the sport to a younger audience in the States—making headlines as much for his wacky dress sense and YouTube spoofs as for his God-given prowess with a golf club. The 26-year-old Fowler is America’s answer to Rory McIlroy, and together they represent the gifted faces of golf for a new era. But for all his colorful clothes and joking around with fellow “brat pack” member Bubba Watson, Rickie has a much more serious, emotional, and intellectual side to his character. In this compelling first biography on the figurehead of US golf’s young guns, Frank Worrall provides a fascinating portrayal of Rickie Fowler as both a fun-loving yet altruis- tic human being and a single-minded golfing superstar. Frank Worrall is a journalist and the author of The Magnificent Sevens, Giggsy, and Rory McIlroy.

Novak Djokovic and the Rise of Serbia The Sporting Statesman Chris Bowers A revised and updated edition of the biography of one of the greatest living tennis players, and his relationship with his homeland of Serbia Novak Djokovic is not just one of the world’s great tennis players—he is a de facto ambas- sador for his country, Serbia. It is no easy task, given the country’s role in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s; indeed, some people still associate the name “Serbia” with “atrocities.” In this study of both Djokovic and Serbia, Chris Bowers paints two profiles. He traces the story of the boy from modest surroundings, showing how he met the woman who not only taught him tennis but how to deal with life as a high-profile figure, charts his battle with illness and the relationship with his volatile father, and how he is representing his country internationally. Yet interwoven into his narrative of the brilliant tennis player is the story of Serbia, offering a sensitive interpretation of the hopes and aspirations of a nation and a people with a troubled past, but bright hopes for the future. Now revised and updated to include the 2015 Australian Open, this is the definitive study of a very remarkable player. Chris Bowers is the author of The Book of Tennis and Fantastic Federder, and writes regularly for the Independent, the Observer, and the Times.

It’s been more than 30 years since Muhammad Ali last threw a punch, yet he remains unquestionably the best-known athlete of all time. A whole generation now only know the legend of The Greatest, never saw him fight, and yet are in awe of the man and his fantastic fistic feats. The Ali Files gives the facts behind the fable. Author Nor- man Giller became friends with Ali when he worked as his European publicist, and he has gathered many other intimate eyewitnesses—opponents, referees, trainers, sparring partners, celebrity fans, and ringside reporters—to Ali’s astonishing adventures in and out of the ring. Millions of words have been written about ringmaster Ali, but few books have concentrated on the 61 professional contests that turned him into a sporting legend. The Ali Files will give you a ringside seat to the greatest boxing career of all time. Norman Giller is a legendary Fleet Street sports writer and author with 98 books published to date, including titles on his lifelong friends Henry Cooper and Jimmy Greaves. Initially a reporter with the Stratford Express and Boxing News, he later became a boxing PR, working on some of Muhammad Ali’s European fights, before moving into television.

TC Tom Carroll and Nick Carroll The former professional surfer tells his own story On the surface he was Tom Carroll, dreamer, brilliant surfer, Australian sports hero, fitness fanatic, businessman, family man, and big wave charger. But inside turned the terrible wheel of drug addiction—part family curse, part legacy of the footloose surf culture he’d done so much to legitimize. Tom’s family and friends struggled with him, kept his secrets, and looked on in anger and fear as the wheel began to grind him down. Then a window opened, but getting through it made charging Pipeline look like a piece of cake. This is the story of an unlikely moral education: of humility, family, damage, brotherhood, youth, stupidity, glory, single-mindedness, and surrender, and about the feeling of water moving under a surfboard, how it can bind past to present and make sense of lives. Tom Carroll is a former professional surfer. Nick Carroll is one of the world’s best known surf writers. He edited Australia’s Tracks magazine before spending several years as editor-in-chief of Western Empire, which publishes Surfing Magazine. More recently he has begun working in television.

Then she watched her parents’ marriage fall apart and her mother suffer debilitating depression. She moved out of home hoping to improve her situation. However, Sandi soon found herself a teenage mom at the age of 14, and a series of abusive relationships followed. But somewhere in her heart she knew there was always hope for a better life, and always horses waiting for her.

Elvis and Me How a World-Weary Music Teacher and a Broken Racehorse Rescued Each Other Gillian Wills A world-weary musician and a broken racehorse rescue each other in this inspirational memoir about second chances At the a age of 56, Gillian Wills bought her first horse on a whim. Elvis was emaciated, scarred, unruly, saddle-phobic, and imbued with attitude. However, she sensed in him the remnants of a fierce pride that resonated with her own almost-lost sense of self-worth, depleted after leaving a high status job as head of a prestigious music conservatorium in Melbourne to move across the country with her partner to Queensland. Owning a horse pushed the need for paddocks to the top of Gillian’s wish list. She and her partner bought a dilapidated weath- erboard farmhouse on two and a half acres and swapped city living in Brisbane for the pleasures of semi-rural life. Gillian gave up a busy career to focus on freelance writing. For a year she wore mud-stained boots and dusty jeans by day and shiny heels and black cocktail gear at night to mingle with the art cogniscenti. And she tried to ride Elvis. He had been pitched to Gillian as a quiet, beginner’s “I’ll-do-whatever-you want-kind-of-horse” who could hardly summon up the energy to trot. The truth was very different. Rehabilitating Elvis through natural horsemanship methods (horse whispering) with the help of a trainer introduced Gil- lian to a whole new world where music was incidental and daily discussions centered on the weather, how to tell good grass from bad, and fear of the Hendra virus. She persevered with her riding lessons, ignoring the often not-so-subtle doubts that she would ever learn to ride competently, let alone be able to control a spirited mount like Elvis. Gradually Elvis’s behavior improved and Gillian’s confidence grew. Learning to assert her leadership over Elvis’s daily rehabilitation program slowly but surely transformed her world. Gillian Wills was the Australian’s classical music reviewer for seven years. She was also a freelance arts writer for Queensland’s Courier Mail and a broad variety of other publications. She is a preconcert speaker for the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Australian String Quartet, teaches piano at a university, and is a keyboard examiner for the Australian Music Examination Board.

342 Strictly Classified Secrets and Insights into the Trainer’s Mind Marten Julian Delve into a horse trainer’s mind, seeing how they work with and try to best understand their horses Strictly Classified offers readers a unique insight into the workings of a trainer’s mind, notably in relation to their understanding of a racehorse’s psyche, emotions, and character. Calling from his training in psychotherapy and other disciplines, Marten Julian sheds light on how trainers and horsemen try to unravel the innermost workings of a horse’s mind. He has asked many of the world’s top trainers how they identify and relate to a horse’s individual personality, and thereby encourage it to realize its full potential. Reference is made to how they address the potential effect of a racehorse’s formative years, their integration into a yard, their emotional range of experiences, their spirit, their will to win, and their end days. This is a book specifically about trainers and the way they deal with a horse’s character and psychological profile, and is illustrated with examples of well-known horses they have trained. Marten Julian has been professionally involved in the racing industry for more than 40 years, working as a racing journalist with the Sunday Times and the Sunday Telegraph, and now as a freelance author.

343 Running Free A Runner’s Journey Back to Nature Richard Askwith A passionate and inspiring case for runners to get back to nature Richard Askwith wanted more. Not convinced running had to be all about pounding pave- ments, buying fancy gear, and racking up extreme challenges, he looked for ways to liberate himself. His solution: running through muddy fields and up rocky fells, running with his dog at dawn, running because he’s being (voluntarily) chased by a pack of bloodhounds, running to get hopelessly, enjoyably lost, running fast for the sheer thrill of it. Running as nature intended. Part diary of a year running through the Northamptonshire countryside, part exploration of why we love to run without limits, Running Free is an eloquent and inspiring account of running in a forgotten, rural way, observing wildlife and celebrating the joys of nature. Running Free is about getting back to the basics of why we love to run. Richard Askwith is associate editor of the Independent. His first book, Feet in the Clouds, won Best New Writer at the British Sports Book Awards and the Bill Rollinson Prize for Landscape and Tradition. It was short-listed for the William Hill and Boardman-Tasker prizes and was named by Runner’s World as one of the three best running books of all time.

MASTER BRIDGE SERIES

Dormer on Deduction Albert Dormer The established classic on inferential reasoning in bridge “A magnum opus. . . . Read this book. Dormer highlights the way the expert players of the world think. Perhaps in doing so he narrows the gap between them and the average player, but to the latter’s benefit.” —Sunday Times Deduction is the process of working out what logically follows from facts known or assumed. Psychologists rate deductive reasoning as central to human intelligence and Albert Dormer believes that it is the use of this faculty in bridge that gives players their satisfaction. So why do they so often fail to make the right deductions? The answer lies in correct thinking and in asking the right questions.

351 Robert Adam Designs from Sir John Soane’s Museum Wrapping Paper Book Illustrations by Robert Adam Twelve sheets of gift wrap, featuring drawings by architect Robert Adams Twelve sheets of 19.5 x 27.5 inch wrapping paper are folded into a paperback book, which has a notepad binding for a clean, easy-tear off. Robert Adam was one of the most important British architects working in the Neo-classical style. He was a main force in the development of a unified style that extended beyond architecture and interiors to include both the fixed and moveable objects in a room. He incorporated design ideas from ancient Greece and Rome into his forms and decoration. In 1883 Sir John Soane purchased 9,000 drawings and watercolors by Robert Adam and his brothers— the richest collection of architectural drawings in Britain and an untapped treasure trove of unique designs for ceilings, carpets, wallpaper, and much more. Robert Adam (1728–1792) was a Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer, and furniture designer.

The Deco period began in 1910 when Art Nouveau slid out of fashion. Its highpoint was in 1925 at the Paris exhibition, the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, and the style culminated at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. Art Deco brought an exotic, vibrant style to the most precious and exclusive works of art as well as to mass produced objects which were widely available. It became a universal phenomenon transforming the look of everything from factories and cinemas to fashion and photography, and is arguably the most popular style of the last century. The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, housing a permanent collection of more than 4.5 million objects.
