photos from Cary Grant to Manolo Blahnik
Edited by Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter and Cullen Mur-

its wide range of exclusive cloths. This sumptuous edition

distinctive cut being worn by the leading lights of stage,
screen, high society, and literary and artistic life. Some pho-
tographs are vintage—such as Gary Cooper, Cary Grant,

rence Olivier, Alec Guinness, Noel Coward, Evelyn Waugh,

cially commissioned portraits of today’s clients, including

acopulos, Henry Koehler, Jay McInerney, Nicolas Roeg, and

A Life in Frocks
A Memoir
Kelly Doust
A personal, entertaining, exquisitely illustrated exploration of the significance of clothes,
filtered through one woman’s lifetime
“An enchanting musing on a much-loved wardrobe and the emotional significance of a

lifelong sartorial obsession.” —Vogue Australia
A seductive mix of memoir, philosophies, and fantasies, this is a book for those who love
clothes and find fashion beguiling, fickle, and fabulous. For as long as she can remember,
Kelly Doust has been passionate about clothes. They are her first and most enduring love
affair to date. Like many women, she adores the playfulness of fashion and its endless abil-
ity to transform. She loves the ritual and drama of getting dressed, assuming different iden-
tities in different outfits, and exploring the many facets of her personality. She buys far too
many glossy magazines, and puzzles over how she can spend half her life shopping and yet
still find herself with nothing to wear. Over the years, clothes have comforted her, given her
confidence, lured lovers, made her invisible, secured jobs, aged her, and given back her youth.
And yes, they have betrayed her. This is one woman’s charming analysis of her fascinating
relationship with what she wears.
Kelly Doust is the author of Crafts for Every Season and Fun Family Crafts, a regular con-
tributor to Vogue Magazine and Australian Women’s Weekly, and the author of the craft
blog Thecraftyminx.com.au.

Domestic Sluttery
Cheat Your Way to the Good Life
Sian Meades
Have a gorgeous home while unapologetically
cutting a few corners, with this home and
lifestyle guide for women who have better things
to do
Many women would love to have the domestic god-
dess thing nailed, to waft around vintage fairs for
collectible items to furnish their homes with, and
to be able to spend all day preparing the ultimate
dinner party—but this lifestyle guide accepts that
women are too busy to make their lives “just so.”
However that doesn’t mean that their homes aren’t
important, and the domestic sluts cover home in-
teriors (“Hang your prettiest dresses from hooks
on your bedroom wall, it’ll give an instant boudoir
feel.” “Hide anything super-boring.”), food and
drink (“Pasta is the domestic slut’s secret weapon.”
“Mmm, honey. Who knew something puked up by
an insect could be so delicious?”), style and beauty
(“Thou shalt not listen to thine mother.”), and liv-
ing (“Vacation suggestions from Sicily to New
York.” “What to do when you realize you’re still
drunk at work.”). No Stepford Wife aspirations
here, instead, this guide offers an aspiration to live
life to the fullest but with permission to be imper-
fect. Instead of compromising on fun, the domes-
tic sluts will teach readers the quick and easy ways to do domestication on the go—as well as revealing how to make a damn
good cocktail. Recipes include dual measurements.
Sian Meades is a web editor and writer. She is the founder and editor of the interiors and lifestyle website Domesticsluttery.com,

Ham, Pickles & Jam
Traditional Skills for the Modern Kitchen Larder
Thane Prince
Photographs by Diana Miller
Readers can cut costs by making the most of seasonal ingredients, storing food prop-
erly, stocking cupboards correctly, and fully using what they have in this guide to
rediscovering lost kitchen skills
Many cooks remember jams and chutneys made by grandmothers and great aunts who
also seemed to know exactly how long to boil a ham and how to keep butter, and who
had a magical pantry full of secret delights. These skills are increasingly in demand as
more people want to make use of homegrown produce, reduce the weekly food budget,
or rediscover cooking from scratch. A timely book for the new kitchen revolution, this
is not only a celebration of lost skills such as curing, rendering, and pickling and a col-
lection of fantastic recipes (such as Roasted Brine-cured Pork, Green Tomato Chutney,
and Salted Peanut Brittle), but also provides advice on stocking a pantry and the best
way to store cheese, cooked meats, and vegetables. At a time when everyone is look-
ing to shop more locally, cook thriftily, and still enjoy great food, it is a book for how
to live today. Recipes include dual measurements.

Let’s Preserve It
Beryl Wood
Foreword by Rose Prince
First published in 1970, this is the ultimate preserving bible and the book that Nigella Law-
son turns to for jam recipes
In this small encyclopedia, Wood distills the immense knowledge of earlier generations into a
pantry-full of simple, foolproof recipes that will give endless delight both to make and to savor.
With guidelines on equipment and preparation, useful hints on cooking, and important tips
to remember, this A-to-Z of recipes is an essential book for everyone from the experienced jam-
maker to new cooks making preserves for the first time. Classic recipes such as Mint Jelly, Lemon
Curd, Pumpkin Jam, and Seville Orange Marmalade are all here, as well as more unusual com-
binations and ideas for preserving fruits, herbs, and vegetables. This unique and comprehen-
sive recipe book revives the art of jam, jelly, pickle, and chutney making, and celebrates the
joys of transforming a surfeit of anything—from apples to whortleberries—into jars full of sweet-
ness. Recipes include dual measurements.
Beryl Wood’s career spanned pest control, caravans, and catering; managing a uniquely women-
only, private car-hire firm; and, finally, restaurant work. Rose Prince is food columnist for the
Daily Telegraph and the author of The New English Kitchen.

The Perfect Picnic

Hilda Leyel
From 1936, the perfect guide to reliving the lost art of decadent al fresco dining
“If I had been given a standard Mrs. Beeton instead of Mrs. Leyel’s wonderful recipes,
I would probably never have learned to cook.” —Elizabeth David, author, At Eliza-
beth David’s Table
Perfect picnic food is simple, elegant, and delicious, based around much-loved classics. Hilda
Leyel was extraordinarily before her time, influencing generations of foodies with inventive
recipes where retro meets modern, such as egg mayonnaise on crusty bread; watercress, beet-
root and nasturtium salad; chicken and leek pie; and spiced plum cake and salted almonds.
She championed local, seasonal ingredients like watercress and asparagus; she promoted tra-
ditional recipes from raised pies to strawberries and cream; and she set a benchmark of re-
finement with crab soufflé and spaghetti and truffles. Take a warm summer’s day, a secluded
spot in the dappled shade, a blanket and a bottle of wine, friends and family, and a spread
of delicious homemade food, and it all adds up to that timeless rustic idyll—the perfect pic-
nic. Recipes include dual measurements.
Hilda Leyel (1880–1957) was an expert cook and herbalist who wrote numerous books about
both subjects. With training in medicine and a lifelong interest in botany, she founded the
Society of Herbalists and set up the Culpeper shops, both of which continue today.

SAM AND SAM CLARK
Sam and Sam Clark
“Any book by Sam and Sam Clark makes for essential reading and essential eating . . . stunning.” —Sunday Times
“A wonderful book, a pleasure to read, and a reward to cook from.” —Nigella Lawson on The Moro Cookbook
Samantha Clark and Samuel Clark have both cooked at leading restaurants such as the River Cafe and the Eagle
gastropub. They joined forces to open Moro in London in 1997. Since then the restaurant has enjoyed impressive reviews
and accolades, including being voted Best Restaurant in 2009’s Observer Food Monthly awards. The Clarks opened their
second venture, Morito, an intimate tapas bar, in 2010. They are also the coauthors of Moro: The Cookbook.

Moro East
The Clarks renew their passion for the food of Spain and the Muslim Mediterranean,
but this time they find their inspiration a little closer to home, in their local garden
When Sam and Sam took on their very first local garden allotment they found them-
selves part of a community of Turks and Cypriots who cultivate and cook an ex-
traordinary range of ingredients, many of which are integral to the food served at Moro.
This collection follows a year in the life of this community garden, reflected in recipes
that are unusual without being daunting. Many of the recipes reflect everyday activ-
ities—Turkish women rolling flatbreads or clipping the young vine leaves to make dol-
mades, families gathering to grill kebabs on the weekend—and the spirit of the
community is captured in the photographs and the dishes. The 150 imaginative and
seasonal recipes include Moro favorites and new combinations such as Pigeon Smoked
Duck Breast with Apples, Walnuts and Chicory; Fried Green Tomatoes with Garlic
and Sweet Vinegar; and Courgette and Yoghurt Soup. This character-filled garden was
bulldozed to make way for the 2012 Olympics making this a true treasure, documenting
the last ever growing season for Sam and Sam and the unique men and women of Manor
Garden allotments. Recipes include metric measurements.

The proprietors of Moro have created fresh and dynamic dishes that reflect their restau-
rant’s ever-changing menu ranging from Asparagus with Parsley and Almonds; Moroc-
can Courgette Salad; and Chicken with Pine Nuts, Saffron and Fino Sherry to Chestnut,
Almond and Chocolate cake. Yet this is much more than a simple catalog of recipes; it
evokes Sam and Sam’s extensive travels, their first discovery of Spain and Morocco, and
their house in the heart of Moorish Andalucia, taking the reader on a journey that res-
onates with delicious dishes, history, and tradition. With an entire chapter dedicated to
the ancient ways and cooking of Andalucia and, more specifically, the village in which
Sam and Sam live, this personal, evocative account exudes romance and is written and
designed with palpable excitement and elegance. Recipes include metric measurements.

My Kind of Cooking
Mark Sargeant
In his first solo cookbook, Gordon Ramsay’s right-hand man of many years focuses
on creating fabulous yet very affordable food
“Full of delicious, simple food you really want to eat. A great cookbook by one
of Britain’s best.” —Jamie Oliver
Supermarkets are starting to introduce cuts such as oxtail, pork cheeks, and beef flank
in the aisles. Offering an exciting introduction to food that many people rarely con-
sider, or have the confidence to cook, this book explains how to use these fantastic
pieces of meat, with recipes that make them as delicious and tender as the prime cuts,
but at a less than prime price. There are 120 recipes in which Sargeant’s Michelin-starred
skills showcase how to get the best out of cheaper cuts of meat; sustainable, less ex-
pensive type of fish; and produce. Recipes include Shoulder of Pork with Pears and
Perry; Low and Slow Oxtail; Whole Roast and Spiced Carrots; Sprouts with Lemon,
Sage, and Smoked Bacon; and Thick Vanilla Cream with Drunken Fruit. “Sarge” is pas-
sionate about getting back to basics in the kitchen and showing that everyone can de-
light their palate while watching their pennies. Recipes include metric measurements.
Michelin-starred Mark Sargeant is the coauthor of Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy and Gordon Ramsay’s Great British Pub
Food. He first worked with Ramsay at Aubergine in 1998, was head chef at Ramsay’s restaurant Claridge’s from 2001 to 2008,

My Persian Family Recipes
Ariana Bundy
Part memoir, part travelogue, this evocative collection of Persian recipes is a cele-
bration of a vibrant culture and its cuisine
Ariana’s family roots are firmly planted in Persian soil. She inherited her love of food
and cooking from her grandparents—merchants and landowners who grew cherries,
plums, apricots, apples, sugar beets, wheat, and barley; bred sheep and goats for dairy;
and had beautiful vineyards producing prized grapes; and from her father, who owned
and ran the first fine-dining French restaurant in Iran. With recipes such as Ice in Heaven
and Pomegranate and Walnut Stew with Chicken, Ariana manages to capture the sen-
sual, exotic pleasure of Persian cuisine as well as celebrating the values and traditions
cherished by her forefathers. Their memories of when life was simpler, family mattered
above all else, and eating together was of paramount importance provide an evocative
leitmotif. In this beautiful book, Ariana pays tribute to the rich heritage, cultural and
culinary, that has shaped her approach to life, cooking, and eating. Metric and impe-
rial measurements and a conversion chart are included.
Ariana Bundy is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu and the author of Sweet Alternative.

Anissa Helou
Foreword by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
An updated and expanded editon of The Fifth Quarter, complete with the addition
of striking color food photography throughout
“A must for any true offal enthusiast, and a fascinating reference work.”

of a butchered animal, a subject currently enjoying a resurgence in both popularity and
fashion. Here is offal in all its many and surprising forms; a wonderful array of recipes
ranging from the sensual appeal of foie gras and cod’s roe, to the more challenging de-
mands of testicles and intestines. Drawing on recipes and traditions from all over the
world, Helou invites readers to embrace a whole range of unusual and exciting tastes
and textures. Lamb’s tongue and sweetbreads, pig’s trotters and sheep’s brains, and chicken
livers and ox hearts all find a place in this wonderfully uncompromising book. Recipes
include metric measurements.
Anissa Helou is the author of a number of cookbooks, including Cafe Morocco, The Fifth Quarter, Lebanese Cuisine, Mediter-
ranean Street Food, and Savory Baking from the Mediterranean.

Splendour
Coppi Barbieri and Melina Keays
Recipes are accompanied by extraordinary photographs by international
award-winning photographers Coppi Barbieri
The idea for this stunning book of food photography was born from Fab-
rizio Coppi and Lucilla Barbieri’s admiration of 16th and 17th century Flem-
ish, Spanish, Italian, and French painters—such as Floris Claesz van Dijck,
Juán Sánchez Cotán, Francisco de Zurbarán, Francisco de Burgos Mantilla,
and Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin—especially the ones depicting food. Four
sections represent the four elements, each opening with an exquisite image—
for Air, different types of eggs; for Earth, an arrangement of dried fruits
and nuts; for Water, a composition of eels; and for Fire a pile of chilies.
Another 12 images in each section illustrate the recipes appearing at the
end of the book. Each recipe is portrayed in a setting that both highlights
the food and the joy of entertaining and mixes different types of objects,
both classic and modern. Includes conversion chart.
Coppi Barbieri is an Italian photography duo whose clients include Absolut Vodka, Bulgari, Burberry, Cartier, De Beers, Fendi, Gucci,
Estee Lauder, Issey Miyake, Louis Vuitton, Mercedes, Nike, Sony, Volvo, and VW. Their work has been published in GQ, Italian Vogue,

ited at the International Center of Photography in New York City. Melina Keays is the entertaining director at Wallpaper magazine.

Grandma Elmaleh’s Moroccan Cookbook
Lisa Elmaleh Craig
A treasure trove of recipes, anecdotes, and food facts based on Moroccan-
Jewish cooking which was described by the New York Times food critic
in 1970 as “home cooking that a Sultan would envy”
For more than 50 years Sarah Elmaleh, the Moroccan-Jewish mother of a
large immigrant family in Brooklyn, cooked sumptuous meals for family
and friends. Her unique blend of Jewish and Moroccan cooking produced
hundreds of recipes, most of which she kept in her head, until her grand-
daughter, Lisa Elmaleh Craig, sat her down and made her divulge her culi-
nary secrets. This charming book combines recipes, reminiscences, and
research with the author’s own line drawings and color plates, to provide
a feast for the food-oriented reader as well as recipes ranging from a sim-
ple breakfast to a family feast. Recipes include dual measurements.
Lisa Elmaleh Craig grew up watching her grandmother cook delicious food
for her family and friends. When she grew up she felt these recipes were
too good to keep in the Elmalah family, so she worked with her grand-
mother to write this book.

Kitchen Garden Estate
Self-sufficiency Inspired by Kitchen Gardens of the Past
Helene Gammack
Peek behind the garden door at some of Britain’s grandest estates to discover the
traditional crafts of growing, cooking, and self-sufficiency from past masters
From “growing your own” and cooking with herbs to harvesting honey and keeping
chickens, Britain’s great estates and country house gardens offer a wealth of inspira-
tion to the modern gardener. From traditional walled kitchen gardens and their some-
times surprising fruit and vegetables to keeping bees, chickens, or even livestock,
traditional methods and crafts have been in use since medieval times and have much
to teach anyone who wishes to make their own outdoor space a model of self-suffi-
ciency. Covering fruit and vegetables, herbs, orchards, beekeeping, fish ponds and lakes,
dovecotes and poultry, dairy and the farmyard, the deer park and game, and hops and
vineyards, there is something in this book for everyone, whether one has acres of land,
an allotment, or simply a windowsill.
Helene Gammack has worked as sole gardener in a renowned plantsmans garden for
10 years and as a research assistant for the National Trust for the last two years.

Tales from Titchmarsh

A Year in the Garden
Alan Titchmarsh
The very best of Alan Titchmarsh’s gardening writing, taken from his 20 years as a colum-
nist with Gardeners’ World magazine
Covering everything from his love of water features in gardens to the beauty of wildflower
meadows to why we need to get children away from gizmos and back into gardens, this is
the perfect bedside or gardenside anthology from a beloved gardener. His brilliant writings
are, in turn, practical (Just how far back should we prune our roses?), opinionated (I al-
ways rail at people who go out on a Sunday afternoon to tidy their gardens. I mean, a gar-
den is not a sock drawer.), cheeky (I have a theory that gardeners grow to look like their
soil.), and wistful (You’ve got to be a bit of a dreamer to get the most out of your garden.).
So lay down your trowel, sit back, and enjoy a bit of quintessential Titchmarsh.
Alan Titchmarsh is the author of more than 40 gardening books, including The Gardener’s
Year, How to Be a Gardener, and The Royal Gardeners; the memoirs Knave of Spades and
Trowel and Error; and the novels Love and Dr. Devon and Rosie. He has twice been named
Gardening Writer of the Year and in 2004 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from
the Garden Writers’ Guild.

Green Roofs
A Guide to their Design and Installation
Angela Youngman
A guide to the process of designing and installing a green roof—essential reading for
anyone interested in energy-efficient buildings
Environmentally friendly buildings are a must for the future, and among the many new
ideas for buildings are green roofs—but what exactly is a green roof, and how do they
work? Why are individuals and businesses installing them, and how difficult is it to in-
stall and maintain a green roof? This guide introduces the range of green roofs available,
from the small garden shed to towering skyscrapers; discusses the role of the green roof
as part of an overall greening of a building and landscape; advises on types of vegeta-
tion to be grown, maintenance required, and problems that can be encountered; analyzes
the green roof movement; and describes residential and business case studies from across
the world. With contributions from builders, architects, and gardeners, this is not a self-
help manual, as most green roofs will need a string of professionals, but a guide to the
process of designing and installing a green roof.
Angela Youngman is a journalist and author.

Knitting
Colour, Structure and Design
Alison Ellen
An in-depth look at the technique of hand knitting and at what effects can be
created from different stitches and by knitting in different directions
“The emphasis on structure pushes readers away from the usual pick-a-
pattern format and leads them into more ambitious undertakings.”
—Booklist on Hand Knitting
Taking a fresh approach to knitting and examining it from scratch, this book ex-
plores not just the look of a knitted pattern, but how the knitted fabric can be al-
tered with different stitches to change its stretch, drape, and thickness. Once
understood, the design and application potential of this textile technique is thrilling
and endless, and it encourages and inspires both beginners and experienced knit-
ters to experiment and develop their own designs. The guide covers basic stitches,
including many different ways of casting on and off; new approaches to construct
fabric in any direction in order to make any shape without sewn seams; an in-depth
section on color; advice on dyeing yarns; and knitting patterns to suit a range of
body shapes, with directions for personalizing the size.
Alison Ellen originally trained in textile design, specializing in weaving and printed
textiles, then started designing and making hand-knitted garments in the 1980s.
She is the author of Hand Knitting.

Mariella Baldwin
A beautifully illustrated guide that aims to unravel the perceived mysteries of the
art by revealing the steps to making a stunning botanical painting

Botany for Artists

Lizabeth Leech
An introduction to plant science for artists who wish to draw or paint plants or flow-
ers without sacrificing technical accuracy to aesthetic quality
Many botanical artists struggle when closely observing their subject and do not have
the structural knowledge necessary to enhance the quality and precision of their work.

behavior, seeking to equip artists with a more comprehensive understanding of botany.
It explains basic biological concepts to enhance the understanding of observation, in-
troducing all main groups of plants and fungi; provides a springboard of knowledge
to enable the reader to tackle more academic literature; offers observation help sheets;
and encourages a more confident approach to botanical painting and illustration.
Lizabeth Leech trained and worked as a botanist before pursuing art. She regularly lec-
tures on various aspects of botany for artists and exhibits widely.

COUNTRY LIFE
The Arts & Crafts Country House

From the Archives of Country Life
Clive Aslet
A detailed survey of 25 major houses from the Arts and Crafts
movement reveals the enduring legacy of an architectural ideal
“This delicious narrative tour of British villages showcases

the author’s familiarity with his topic; Aslet . . . knows his
stuff—architecture, history, folklore, literary
inspiration.” —Seattle Times on Villages of Britain
Drawing upon the unique Country Life archive, this is a fascinat-
ing, detailed survey of 25 major country houses designed by the
Arts and Crafts movement’s foremost architects, including Lutyens,
Webb, Williams-Ellis, and Blow. Growing out of a reaction against
the Industrial Revolution in the late 1850s, and inspired by an al-
ternative vision of life based on the revival of traditional building
crafts and the use of local materials, the Arts and Crafts movement
produced some of Britain’s greatest works of design, architecture,
and decorative art. Country Life magazine, founded in 1897, cham-
pioned the movement in the weekly articles it devoted to country
houses, illustrated with specially commissioned photographs. This
beautifully illustrated collection reveals the enduring legacy of an
architectural ideal while also demonstrating how the Arts and Crafts
tradition continues to influence architects today.
Clive Aslet was the editor of Country Life for 13 years. He is the
author of many books, including The American Country House,
Landmarks of Britain, and Villages of Britain.

Drawn from the Heart
A Memoir
Ron Brooks
A vivid, searching memoir of life, love, and bookmaking by a master of the art of
picture books
Ron Brooks grew up a country boy with a yen for drawing and observation of the life
around him. He became an acknowledged master of the picture book form, winning ac-
claim both nationally and internationally for classics such as The Bunyip of Berkeley’s
Creek and John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat by Jenny Wagner—both in print con-
tinuously for more than 30 years—and Old Pig and the award-winning Fox by Mar-
garet Wild. Yet success never came easy. In this searching memoir he recreates his life
as an artist, husband, and father, with all its twists and turns, pain and joy. Along the
way he offers rare insights into the “secret” process of picture making and story shap-
ing. Illustrated with roughs and finished art from his best-loved books, this story of a
life lived intensely in search of truth, love, and beauty is a classic in its own right.
Ron Brooks is a picture book artist with a career spanning more than 35 years. His il-
lustrated books include Fox and Old Pig by Margaret Wild, the Henry books by Mar-
garet Perversi, Motor Bill and the Lovely Caroline by Jenny Wagner, and Honey and

Aubrey Beardsley
Robert Ross
Illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley
Introduction by Matthew Sturgis
An unprecedented glimpse into the life of the Aesthetic movement, reprinted for the
first time in 80 years
The first ever biography of Aubrey Beardsley was written by one of his close friends and
earliest patrons soon after his death, and is a fascinating and evocative document of the
period. Robert Ross was one of the first people who Beardsley met when he arrived in
London to make his name in 1892. Within six years he was dead, but the work he pro-
duced in that short time revolutionized art, and he was fixed forever in the public imag-
ination as one of the leading spirits of the decadent era. This republication is a close copy
of the first stand-alone edition of 1909, and includes the original illustrations and cata-
logue, and a new introduction.
Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) was an illustrator, author, and a leading figure in the Aes-
thetic movement whose figures included Oscar Wilde and James Abbott Whistler. Robert
Ross (1869–1918) was a journalist and critic in the circle of Oscar Wilde, whose literary
executor he became. He energetically promoted Beardsley. Matthew Sturgis is the author
of Aubrey Beardsley: A Biography, Paperwork: Peter Clark, and Walter Sickert: A Life.

Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano’s powerful canvases of an alluring yet sinis-
ter world are beautifully captured in a new edition with 15
more recent images, from exhibitions between 2006 and 2010
Vettriano’s images are a gateway to a timeless place where past
and present intertwine. Daylight scenes of heady optimism,
painted against backdrops of beaches and racetracks, are coun-
terbalanced by more disquieting canvases of complex night-
time liaisons in bars, clubs, bedrooms, and ballrooms. Emerging
from the unlikely background of the Scottish coalfields, un-
known and untutored, Jack Vettriano has become Scotland’s
most successful and controversial contemporary artist, his paint-
ing The Singing Butler selling for close to $1.3 million. Ap-
pearing on posters and cards, mugs and umbrellas, prints of
his work outsell van Gogh, Dalí, and Monet, and his paint-
ings have been acquired by celebrities around the world.
Jack Vettriano’s solo exhibition in Edinburgh was a sell-out
and since then he has had solo exhibitions in London, Hong
Kong, New York, and Rome.

Viva Van Story’s Sheer
Photographs by Viva Van Story
In the stunning follow-up to Viva Van Story: Bullet Bras and Back-
seat Betties, the incredibly talented NYC pinup photographer ex-
plores the eroticism of transparency
“Viva Van Story is an accomplished photographer who is

being justly acclaimed as a worthy successor to Bunny Yeager.
Van Story is taking the parameters of ‘cheesecake’ to new lev-
els and the result (to say the least) is haute-cuisine. Pretty
damn hot haute-cuisine, actually!” —Real Detroit Weekly
“VVS’s photos are graced by the kind of drag strip dames and
juice joint jezebels who populated the men’s mags of the
1950s—with a decidedly modern edge. It’s no surprise, then,
that with NYC’s vibrant burlesque scene, she’s the photogra-
pher of choice for a wide range of tassel-twirling temptresses,
hot-rod honeys, and tommy gun tarts.” —Eroszine
Themed around the idea of transparency, from nylon to latex, silk
to plastic and muslin to glass, Viva Van Story’s brilliantly lit shots
of the iconic models on the fetish scene (Mosh, Angela Ryan, Eden
Berlin, and more) are distinguished by a host of astonishing new lo-
cations, atmospheric retro moods, and Viva’s boundary-pushing eroti-
cism. Everyone who loved Viva’s Pinups will love this collection,
while anyone who has not yet discovered Viva will be blown away
by the latest work of the East Coast’s leading pinup photographer.
Viva Van Story is one of the most respected and busiest pin-up pho-
tographers in the country. Her work headlined the Detroit Dirty Show,
and she and her images have been featured in such publications as
Bizarre Magazine, Car Kulture Deluxe, Deadbeat Magazine, DicE,
Edge Detroit, Leg Show, New York Post, Ol’ Skool Rodz, Real De-
troit Weekly, ROCKRGRL, Tattoo, and Varla Magazine. She is based
in New York City.

The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton
Noel Fielding
A beautiful and hilarious new book of artwork from the acclaimed star of
The Mighty Boosh
“Fielding’s visual art is not a million miles away from the disturbing
world of Nabootique he and Barratt create in The Mighty Boosh and it’s
no surprise that his depictions of talking crocodiles, Mick Jagger and dis-
turbing fox-men—Matt Groening meets Hieronymous Bosch—have be-
come highly prized collectibles.” —Evening Standard
“The boy can paint. What’s more, his offbeat, pop-art pictures are seri-
ously commercial. Stylistically, it’s somewhere between Henri Rousseau
and Tov Jansson, creator of The Moomins.” —Independent
“Growing up in the jungles of India there was no need for drawing or paint-
ing. I would sometimes arrange ants into primitive still lives or scratch out por-
traits onto the trunks of trees. Things changed when I was 11, a lame tiger
who owned a stationery shop gave me the keys to his stock room, I would roll
around in acrylic and oil pastels in reverie, licking canvases and tucking coloured
pencils into my wild hair. It was here I learned how to draw and paint well
enough to be accepted into Croyden Art College. There, Dexter Dalwood (Turner
Prize nominee) taught me and after two years under his supreme tutelage and
much hard graft he advised me to become a comedian.” —Noel Fielding
Noel Fielding’s book channels the creative influences of Henri Rousseau, Roy
Lichtenstein, and Salvador Dalí, through the comedian’s strange, singular, and
surreal mind. Hilarious and beautifully produced, this is a visual feast which
will delight and entertain Noel’s many impassioned fans.
Noel Fielding is a comedian, actor, and artist who is best known for playing Vince
Noir in the cult phenomenon The Mighty Boosh with comedy partner Julian Barratt, with whom he coauthored The Mighty Book of
Boosh. He also appears on The IT Crowd and in the forthcoming movie Horrid Henry. He has had multiple art showings in London.

When I Were a Meerkat . . .
Andrew Davies
A spinoff of When I Were a Lad featuring sad
and adorable images of meerkats as they do
their best to escape grinding poverty and
make a better life for themselves
Already it has generated spin-offs—When I Were
a School Lad and When I Were a Nipper. Here,
instead of ragged trousered children scrabbling
around the streets, getting put in perilous po-
sitions—the stock in trade of the previous
books—the north of England is populated with
a small number of meerkats. Meerkats get put
to work down the mines, go to the seaside for
their holidays, and mess about on trams. The
meerkat world and the human world easily in-
termingle in a reworking of many of the pho-
tos first used in When I Were a Lad.
Andrew Davies has written a number of com-
edy books including Football: Those Were the
Days, Golf: Those Were the Days, The Ugly
Book, When I Were a Lad, When I Were a Nip-
per, and When I Were a School Lad . . .

When I Were a Lass . . .
Joan Bradshawe
A girl’s view of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, from the same team be-
hind When I Were a Lad and When I Were a Nipper
Jam-packed with nostalgic photos from a time when little girls were made
of sugar and spice and all things nice—except sugar was rationed so it was
more likely to be beetroot, this nostalgic trip includes scary dolls, miser-
able trips to the seaside, donkeys, and that essential fashion item, gym shorts.
This look back through barely held-together, rose-tinted glasses reveals—
through a series of vintage photos—a time when radio and gramophones
were the only distraction, toys were few and far between, a doll was a thing
to be treasured, and a trip to the seaside was a grand adventure.
Joan Bradshawe is an amateur historian.

When Meerkats Turn Bad

Kitty Litter
At last, the true meerkat agenda is exposed
The lizards are alarmed, the snakes are scared, and the antelopes are apoplec-
tic—but why? It’s because the meerkats have turned mean. Sure, they look
cute with their little noses in the air. And some of them are. But have you
ever paused to wonder what’s really going on in those cozy communities?
There’s a darker side to the cuddly meerkat, and the shocking truth is re-
vealed here for the first time.

Proving the age-old maxim that “it’s in the way that you tell them,” dads have always been
renowned for being truly awful joke tellers. Whether it’s telling them at the wrong moment, mis-
remembering the punchline, or it just simply being a terrible joke to begin with, dads are an em-
barrassment to the whole family when it comes to trying to be funny. This collection is full to
the brim with jokes that only dad would dare tell—jokes that will make you groan, sigh, and
then probably groan again. Dads take great pleasure in these kinds of jokes and some of them
are so terrible they blossom into actual ribticklers—but don’t tell your dad that, it will only en-
courage him.
Ian Allen is a father of three teenagers and a funny man indeed. He has worked on several joke books.

What Every Man Thinks About Apart from Sex
Professor Sheridan Simove, MSc, DPhil
Aside from “sex,” what does a man actually think about? Nothing, according to the blank
pages of this book!
For millennia, humans have marveled at the difference between men and women. It’s widely
known that the female gender is far superior to men in most areas—emotionally, cognitively,
and socially. But, to date, the complex secrets of a man’s mind have eluded science. In this
groundbreaking book, Professor Sheridan Simove reveals the true depth of a man’s mind.
Professor Sheridan Simove, MSc, DPhil is a performer, author, and entrepreneur. He has worked
in television production and has sold more than one million original and award winning nov-
elty gifts worldwide.

The Joy of Sheds

Andrew Davies
A humorous miscellany chronicling man’s need for a small space all his own
A collection of shed facts, shed humor, shed features, shed design, shed maintenance, and
more, this witty book covers every aspect of the shed experience. Inventor Trevor Baylis thought
up the clockwork radio in a shed, George Bernard Shaw wrote Pygmalion in one, and Dylan
Thomas would compose poetry in his. However, the average male does not tend to devote
his shed to poetry. Along with a chapter on how to customize one’s shed into an exotic cre-
ation—“Pimp Your Shed”—there are plenty of shed facts, such as that almost a fifth of men
have had an accident in a shed, making it the single most dangerous place in the home after
the kitchen. Another chapter covers the typical items stored in sheds, and “The Genus
Shed” places the shed in the Linnaean order of buildings. There are also shed stories from
around the world, and a look at sheds in literature (Cold Comfort Farm and Lady Chatterly’s
Lover), the movies, and music.
Andrew Davies has written a number of humor books including The Thoughts of Chairman
Miaow, The Ugly Book, When I Were a Lad . . . , and When I Were a School Lad . . . .

Illustrations by Robert Duncan
A collection of hilarious golf jokes, this book is sure to suit any golf fanatic to a tee
Two men are playing golf at their local club. One is about to chip to the green when he
sees a funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes
off his cap, closes his eyes and bows in prayer. His friend says, “Wow, that is the most
touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”
The man replies, “Yeah, well, we were married 35 years.”
After a long day on the fairway, put away your scorecard and clubs and laugh off the
double-bogeys with this selection of hysterical jokes. Illustrated in full color, this makes

Ooh La La!
How to Be Infuriatingly French
Mimi Malone
A witty and humorous look at the charms and foibles of being perfectly French
“With an amusing apt cartoon on each page, Ooh la la! is the perfect gift for any
self-respecting—or disrespecting—Francophile!” —Lancashire Evening Post
The French might make it look easy, but being French requires a fine balance of aloof
confidence, an innate sense of superiority, joie de vivre, and doing everything with style.
Then, of course, there are the basics to get to grips with, such as the fact that the cus-
tomer is always wrong, why it’s OK to let your dog do its business in the street, why
waiting in line is not necessary, and why French cuisine is undeniably the best in the
entire world.

safety warnings, road signs, advertisements, headlines, and personal
columns—anything in which the language has gone egregiously, hilar-

the very best images attracts more than 300,000 online visitors every
week, and thousands of submissions from around the world. Here is
the very best of Sign Language, some never published online, to offer
a timely warning about the imperiled state of modern English.

Black Cab Wisdom

Knowledge from the Back Seat
Mark Solomon
Illustrations by Chichester Graphic Arts
A truly collaborative project, a collection of the distilled wisdom of hun-
dreds of taxi cab passengers
“An inch in the right direction is better than a mile in the wrong direction.”
“If you think your life is bland, then you haven’t added enough flavor.”
“People who live in glass houses should never undress.”
In September 2009, London cabbie Mark Solomon began asking passen-
gers in the back of his taxi for a random quote or proverb. It started spon-
taneously, to give him more purpose and direction, but he found that sharing
these daily inspirations with others made them feel part of something spe-
cial too. The project developed into a popular website, and now this pocket-
sized book offers the best 400 thoughts for the day, including hundreds not
on the website, ranging from the truly philosophical to the downright bizarre.
Mark Solomon has been a licensed London taxi driver since 1999 and writes
a regular column for the newspaper Taxi, published every two weeks for
the 25,000 cabbies in London. He is the founder of Blackcabquotes.com.

A gift book filled with heartfelt words for starry-eyed lovers
“Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” —Mark Twain
“The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing—and then
they marry him.” —Cher
When John Lennon wrote that “all you need is love” back in 1967, perhaps he’d been
struck by the lovebug himself. Love gives you goosebumps, inspires you to sing in the
shower, and makes you want to hug everyone you meet. Love is a gift, love is an ad-
venture, love is a many-splendored thing—love is what makes the world go round, so
why not spread a little of the sweet stuff right now?

An A–Z of Hellraisers
A Comprehensive Compendium of Outrageous Insobriety
Robert Sellers
A quirky and anecdote-driven A-to-Z compendium celebrating the most outrageous, de-
praved, tortured, and eccentric hellraisers the world has ever seen, from Wild Bill Hickok
to Ozzy, Francis Bacon to Belushi, Dean Martin to Courtney Love
“A welcome surprise. . . . Like the rejuvenating martinis and blurry haze of cigarettes
in Mad Men, Robert Sellers’s nostalgic Hellraisers . . . amounts to an unapologetic cel-
ebration of the plastered and the damned in our sanctimonious Oprah age of public
confession and easy redemption.” —Wall Street Journal on Hellraisers
“An incredibly entertaining series of anecdotes, interspersed with unpretentious, and
conversational interviews—all about drinking.” —Los Angeles Times on Hellraisers
“One hell of a ride.” —People Magazine on Hollywood Hellraisers
The miscreant mob in this whopper of a book—the last word on inebriated misbehavior—
constitute the most amazing grouping to see in print. It ranges from Alexander the Great,
whose drunken revelries once ended with the destruction of an entire city; to W. C. Fields,
who passed critical judgement on a brass band by urinating over them from a hotel balcony;
and Dylan Thomas, who drove a sports car onto Charlie Chaplin’s private tennis court; to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bon-
ham, suffocating on his own vomit after consuming 40 measures of vodka—what a night out that was! This hilarious volume
makes for an ideal bedside companion or pub companion, as it scrutinizes and salutes these glorious individuals, including Win-
ston Churchill, Tallulah Bankhead, Keith Moon, Robert Mitchum, Ernest Hemingway, Sam Peckinpah, Errol Flynn, Charles
Bukowski, Hank Williams, Nikki Sixx, Billie Holiday, and many more.

Schadenfreude
The Little Book of Black Delights
Tim Lihoreau
The shady details of our darkest schadenfreude pleasures, including “turparphilia”—to
delight in the less-than-aesthetically beautiful nature of a friend’s offspring
We might not like to admit to it, but everyone—even the gentlest of souls—derives a secret
guilty satisfaction from the misfortune of others. Tim Lihoreau has made it his business to
uncover the myriad ways in which schadenfreude rears its wicked head, including “nimbuphilia”
(to delight in driving wildly through a curb-side puddle which you know to be too close to
a pedestrian) and “famaphilia” (to delight in witnessing a celebrity in an everyday pickle). He
also discusses the particular delights of highlighting a person’s mispronunciation (by pro-
nouncing it properly), having a seat on the train while those around you stand, and being
loud during another’s hangover. Naming, defining, and explaining each one in turn with fas-
cinating insights and erudite wit, this book drives at the heart of what it is we find so irre-
sistibly delightful when faced with others’ discomfort.
Tim Lihoreau is the author of Modern Phobias and the coauthor of The Classic FM Friendly

The Time Machine
H. G. Wells
Introduction by Stephen Baxter
One of the cornerstones of science-fiction literature
“The savage brilliance of the young H. G. Wells—and the greatest science

ficiton novel ever written.” —Stephen Baxter, author, Ark
“Every time-travel story since The Time Machine is fundamentally
indebted to Wells.” —Robert Silverberg, author, Legends
At first, the far future looks like an enchanting place to the Time Traveler. The
graceful Eloi appear to embody contentment, beauty, and peace, and the Eden
they live in seems to be free of suffering. But the Time Traveler soon comes to
understand that the Eloi are fragile creatures, desperately afraid of the dark, and
with good reason—for the Morlocks live in the dark, and the Morlocks are to
be feared. And when his time machine goes missing, the Traveler must venture
into their subterranean world to find his way back to his own era.
H. G. Wells (1866–1946) is regarded as one of the all-time greatest authors of
science fiction.

HIDDEN EMPIRE
“A fabulous setting for a sprawling series of old-fashioned adventure novels. There is a similarity
here to the oeuvre of Neal Asher. . . . Good light entertainment, which continues to build a platform
on which Jaine Fenn can grow her empire and her audience.” —Strange Horizons
“Vividly depicted characters and an intriguing plot make this a standout purchase, especially for the
postcyberpunk crowd. Highly recommended.” —School Library Journal starred review of Principles of Angels
Guardians of Paradise
Jaine Fenn
In the third entry in the Hidden Empire series the hunt is on for the
Sidhe—but it’s all too easy for the hunters to become the prey
Most people believe the Sidhe are long dead, exterminated centuries ago
when the males of the race rose up and fought alongside the humans sub-
jugated and enslaved by the female Sidhe. But Jarek Reen knows better:
he’s discovered, the painful way, that the Sidhe are alive and well, and still
screwing over humanity. They’ve already killed his sister, so he’s not sur-
prised when he discovers an old friend and her partner are next on the
Sidhe’s hit-list. He helps not only to foil the assassination attempt, but also
to muddy the scene of the crime, leaving the Angels Nual and Taro san-
Malia presumed dead—and free to join his crusade to expose the insidi-
ous influence of the Sidhe, and their evil plans to enslave the human race
again. Their mission takes them across human space, from utilitarian hub-
points to rich, exotic planets, where they discover that a brilliant vaca-
tion spot hides some of the darkest secrets of all.
Jaine Fenn is the author of Consorts of Heaven and Principles of Angels,
and has had short stories published in such magazines as Alfred Hitch-

The Islanders
Christopher Priest
Reality is illusory and magical in the stunning new literary science fic-
tion novel from the multiple award-winning author of The Prestige—
for fans of Haruki Murakami and David Mitchell
“Christopher Priest has long been the sort of author critics tend
to whip out the serious descriptors for. . . . Judging only on the
basis of this mesmeric travel guide to “an endless sprawl of lovely
islands,” I would not for a second hesitate to declare Priest a giant
of the genre.” —Strange Horizons
“One of the most complex, challenging, and satisfying fictions from
one of our finest novelists.” —Telegraph
“A dizzying show of a novel. . . . Imagine Possession rewritten by
Barbara Vine, or Robertson Davies at his most smoothly diabolical.
A brilliantly constructed entertainment!” —Washington Post on
The Prestige
“Extraordinary—like a dazzling magic act!” —Entertainment
Weekly on The Prestige
“A somber psychedelic journey through a landscape that seems a
collaboration between Breugel the Elder and M. C. Escher, Priest’s
book is an engine of epiphany, and a formal marvel.” —Jonathan
Lethem, author, Motherless Brooklyn, on The Inverted World
A tale of murder, artistic rivalry, and literary trickery; a Chinese puzzle
of a novel where nothing is quite what it seems; a narrator whose agenda
is artful and subtle; a narrative that pulls you in and plays an elegant
game with you. The Dream Archipelago is a vast network of islands. The
names of the islands are different depending on who you talk to and their
very locations seem to twist and shift. Some islands have been sculpted
into vast musical instruments, others are home to lethal creatures, others the playground for high society. Hot winds blow across
the archipelago and a war fought between two distant continents is played out across its waters. The Islanders serves both as
an untrustworthy but enticing guide to the islands; an intriguing, multilayered tale of a murder; and the suspect legacy of its
appealing but definitely untrustworthy narrator. It shows Christopher Priest at the height of his powers and illustrates his undi-
minished power to dazzle.
Christopher Priest’s novels have built him an inimitable dual reputation as a contemporary novelist and a leading figure in mod-
ern science fiction and fantasy. His novel The Prestige is unique in winning both a major literary prize, the James Tait Black
Award, and a major genre prize, the World Fantasy Award. It was also made into a 2006 Academy Award–nominated film di-
rected by Christopher Nolan. His other awards have included the Arthur C. Clarke Award and four Hugo nominations.

Veteran
Gavin Smith
A powerhouse science fiction debut featuring a jaw-droppingly vivid hell-on-earth
future, a brutal war against unknowable aliens, and Jake—a tough-as-nails antihero
“If you’ve ever read any Richard Morgan you will be in familiar territory, only this
feels darker, grittier, louder, and more grounded than Morgan’s work . . . I have no
hesitation in recommending Veteran.” —SF Book Reviews
Nothing gets in the way of a hangover like being reactivated by your old CO and told to

entire squad. And now it’s in my hometown. My name is Jakob Douglas, ex-special forces.
I fought Them. Just like we’ve all been doing for 60 bloody years. But I thought my part in
that was done with. My boss has other ideas. If I didn’t find the infiltrator then he’d let the
Grey Lady loose on me. And believe me; even They’ve got nothing on her. So I took the job.
It went to shit even faster than normal. And now I’m on the run with this teenage hacker
who’s had enough of prostitution. The only people I can rely on want to turn the internet
into God. And now it turns out that They aren’t quite what we’d all thought. I’ve been to
the bottom of the sea and the top of the sky and beyond trying to get to the truth. And I
still can’t get far enough away from the Grey Lady. All things considered I’d rather be back
at home deep in a whiskey bottle.
Three hundred years in our future, in a world of alien infiltrators, religious hackers, a vast convoying nation of Nomads, city-
sized orbital elevators, and a cyborg pirate king who believes himself to be a mythological demon, Jakob is having a bad day.
Fast-paced and intricately plotted, this science fiction adventure is set in a dark future against the backdrop of a seemingly nev-
erending war, against an unknowable and implacable alien enemy.

The Diamond Lens and Other Stories

Fitz-James O’Brien
An absorbing and haunting collection of science fiction tales by an Irish-American author
Fitz-James O’Brien capitalized on the success of his predecessors Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shel-
ley in writing disturbing stories with demented protagonists, and this collection of three tales
shows his mastery of the macabre. “The Diamond Lens” tells of a lone scientist’s discovery of a
microcosmic world within a drop of water, and his growing obsession with the beautiful Anim-
ula, a fair maiden within this world which he can see but never enter. His uncompromising pur-
suit of knowledge at any cost foreshadows the mad scientist familiar to readers in a multitude
of works. In “What Was It?” an invisible man is discovered by residents of a boarding house.
The residents’ capture and investigation of the creature blends the fantastic with the scientific
as they seek rational explanations for this extraordinary phenomenon. “The Wondersmith” is a
macabre tale of an embittered toymaker who seeks revenge upon the society that has persecuted
him by creating demonic mannequins and imbuing them with life in order to slaughter the masses—
a fantastic melodrama in which the cunning Wondersmith is offset by the unassuming and un-
likely hero Solon the hunchback, in love with the villain’s daughter.
Fitz-James O’Brien (1828–62) is best known as a writer of Gothic short stories now seen as
precursors of modern science fiction. Born in Ireland, he lived in Britain for several years be-
fore immigrating to the United States. He joined the New York National Guard in 1861 and
was fatally wounded in a skirmish with Confederate troops the following year.

PENROSE SERIES
Tony Ballantyne
Tony Ballantyne is a science fiction novelist known for his
debut trilogy of novels: Recursion, Capacity, and Divergence.
Each: Science Fiction • 4.5 x 7 • $9.99 Paper • Tor
Twisted Metal
The first in a new hard science fiction series set in a futuristic world of robots and
fierce conflict
“Written in a deceptively simple style, Twisted Metal is not only highly readable, but
surprisingly thoughtful.” —Times
“An original work with a distinctive voice. It works not only as a thrilling action
adventure, but as a thought experiment exploring free will, independence, and totali-
tarianism.” —Guardian
“Overflowing with provocative ideas, Ballantyne’s debut displays enviable mastery of
both suspenseful storytelling and technological extrapolation. Mark him as a writer of
considerable promise.” —Booklist on Recursion
Penrose is a world of intelligent robots who have forgotten their own distant past, a world
where all metal, even that of their own wire-based minds, is fought over—a valuable resource
to be reused and recycled. Now full-scale war looms, as the soldiers of Artemis sweep across
the continent of Shull, killing or converting every robot to their stark philosophy. Only the
robots of Turing City stand in their way, robots who believe that they are something more
than metal. Karel is one such robot—or is he? Karel finds himself conscripted into the Artemisian
army and sent toward the frozen kingdoms of the north, and toward the truth about the leg-
endary Book of the Robots, a text which may finally explain the real history of this strange
world, and perhaps of his own mind. In a completely alien but brilliantly realized landscape,
here is a powerful story of superb action, barbaric cruelty, and intense emotional impact.

Blood and Iron

Metal rusts, belief crumbles, war is eternal—the battle for Penrose continues in the sec-
ond installment in the series
“Engrossing and original, Blood and Iron is a subtle critique of colonialism, a graphic
account of opponents sliding toward conflict, and a fascinating mystery: just what is
the relationship between the human race and the robots of Penrose?” —Guardian
“An absorbingly written novel that finds new and inventive ways to ask some classic
SF ‘what if?’ questions.” —SFX
Appointed the Commander of the Emperor’s Army of Sangrel, Wa-Ka-Mo-Do of Ko tries to
establish relations between the existing robot population and the humans who have recently
arrived on Yukawa. On the continent of Shull, Kavan forms the Uncertain Army and marches
to Artemis City. However, discovering that the city’s generals have made an alliance with
the humans, he retreats to Stark where he plans the overthrow of Artemis and the humans.
Karel too is on a journey—to be reunited with his wife Susan, and to learn more about his
place on Penrose. But as tensions between robot and humans grow, it’s only a matter of time
before problems arise, and it’s becoming more and more apparent that the humans are a lot
more powerful than the robots first expected.

The Nemesis List
R. J. Frith
A character-driven space opera, perfect for fans of Serenity
“Frith’s narrative voice is laconic and hard-boiled, and there’s much to like about his
characterization. Pak is more than just the clichéd embittered ex-soldier, Jones is
murderously mercurial and their relationship evolves in interesting ways.”
—Financial Times
“Frith has a light style that quietly sketches in his characters, as well as a knack for
blindsiding you just when you think you know where a plotline is heading. A surpris-
ingly intimate and personal book that sets up the major conflict still to come.”
—Total Scifi Online
“Reveals a flair for characterization and gritty writing.” —SFX
Humanity has expanded into the stars, but at the price of its freedom. An autocratic Gov-
ernment rigidly controls every technical and scientific advancement; deviation is punishable
by death; and out on the edges of space, criminals thwart the law, making money out of il-
legal tech, their ships jumping from galaxy to galaxy to avoid detection. Ex-soldier Frank
Pak doesn’t care about politics or breaking the law, he just wants to keep his ship running.
When he’s offered a contract to escort a runaway back home to his loving family, he doesn’t ask questions—but his cargo is
more dangerous than he realizes. Jeven Jones is no ordinary passenger—a result of illegal human experimentation, he’s a fast-
tracked evolutionary leap into the future. Thanks to his ability for perfect recall and a series of mental skills that he has no con-
trol over, Jones is a wanted man. The Government wants him dead, while revolutionaries want to use him to unlock every
advancement the Government has ever denied them. If Jones lives he’ll start a war. If he dies the entire future of humanity dies
with him.
R. J. Frith’s debut novel Nemesis List won Tor UK’s War of the Words competition which was run in conjunction with Sci Fi
Now magazine to find new publishing talent. Despite being dyslexic, R. J. is a prolific writer of short stories across many gen-
res and has been published in numerous magazines.

Land of Hope and Glory
Geoffrey Wilson
An original new fantasy in which the Indian Rebellion of 1857 takes place in a very dif-
ferent England—one where magic rules, and the only hope for the future lies in the story
of King Arthur
It is 1852 and the Indian empire of Rajthana has ruled Europe for more than 100 years. With
their vast armies, steam-and-sorcery technology, and mastery of the mysterious power of sattva,
the Rajthanans appear invincible—but a bloody rebellion has broken out in a remote cor-
ner of the empire, in a poor and backward region known as England. At first Jack Casey, re-
tired soldier, wants nothing to do with the uprising, but then he learns his daughter, Elizabeth,
is due to be hanged for helping the rebels. The Rajthanans offer to spare her, but only if Jack
hunts down and captures his best friend and former army comrade, who is now a rebel leader.
Jack is torn between saving his daughter and protecting his friend, and he struggles just to
stay alive as the rebellion pushes England into all-out war.

100 Months
John Hicklenton
Introduction by Pat Mills
The final work of a comics visionary, this intense, hallucinatory story
with artwork of breathtaking intensity is a true graphic novel, engaging
ultimate themes of life, death, and salvation
“Beautiful and powerful. . . . It lingers and it haunts, and, ultimately,

affirms.” —Neil Gaiman
“For me, Johnny is the Jimi Hendrix of British comics.” —Pat Mills
The late John Hicklenton was one of Britain’s leading comic book artists,
famous for the brutal, visceral draughtsmanship he brought to the
2000AD/Judge Dredd titles and Nemesis the Warlock. His final graphic novel
is a parable of environmental devastation, depicting the quest of Mara, War-
rior and Earth Goddess, as she seeks revenge against the Longpig: a Satanic
personification of capitalism, red in tooth and claw, whose followers, a legion of the damned, look quite a lot like us. The world
of the Longpig is rich in killing fields and scenes of mass crucifixion that recall Goya, Blake, and Bacon, and represents a true
crossover of the graphic novel form with fine art. John took his own life with the help of an assisted dying group, following a
heroic struggle with multiple sclerosis. This book was drawn and written in foreknowledge of his imminent death, and its in-
sight into universal themes of life, death, salvation, and damnation seems to come from a place between worlds. Its words those
of a prophet, its artwork transcending the comic book form, 100 Months will redefine the adult graphic novel.
John Hicklenton (1967–2010) was a comics artist and is best known for his work on the titles 2000 AD, Heavy Metal Dredd,
and Nemesis the Warlock. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000, and took his own life in March 2010. His life,
work, and illness are the subject of the documentary Here’s Johnny, which premiered at South by Southwest. He finished 100
Months the day before he died. A comics writer and editor, Pat Mills is known as the “godfather of British comics.” He created
2000 AD and played a large part in the development of Judge Dredd.

ROBERT WELLS TRILOGY
The Sacrifice
Bruce Mutard
Set in Melbourne in the shadow of World War II, this graphic novel,
the first of the Robert Wells trilogy, deals with war, ideals, fam-
ily, and love
“Somber and thought-provoking, it belongs to an entirely differ-

ent genre from the wish-fulfillment of superhero comics. The
Sacrifice is the first of a trilogy and . . . it is with some disap-
pointment one realizes the next installment won’t appear until
next year.” —Sun Herald
As the world spins out of control into World War II, Robert and his
family wrestle with the challenges it presents. Robert offers his apart-
ment to German-Jewish refugees, Artie intends to join up as soon as
the fighting breaks out, their mother despairs that another war will
lead to more death in her family, and Robert’s communist sweetheart
Elsa answers the call of capitalism. When Robert befriends Mata, the
precocious young refugee with a yen for men in uniform, it is only
the beginning of his soul-searching journey with an uncertain end-
ing. This graphic novel draws compelling parallels between Australia
then and now, and explores questions of courage, masculinity, tol-
erance, and national identity that will resonate long after the book
is read.
Bruce Mutard has been producing graphic novels and comics for 15
years. He was the cofounder of Australian journal Comics Quarterly,

The Silence
Bruce Mutard
A provocative graphic novel about the nature of art, told through the eyes
of Choosy McBride, gallery manager and curator, and her artist partner, Dmitri
“The action is in the emotions. There is anger, politeness, self-doubt,

and white sandy beaches. A beautiful graphic novel that explores the na-
ture and culture of art.” —Bernard Caleo, editor, The Tango Collection
When Choosy McBride discovers an extraordinary artwork, she is determined
to track down the unknown artist. With her partner Dmitri, an artist wrestling
with his own creative demons, she follows the trail to an exhibition at an
enigmatic gallery in Northern Queensland, but the creator of the mysteri-
ous artworks remains elusive. Increasingly frustrated, and resolved on a dra-
matic course of action, Choosy insists they make a final visit to the gallery.
But will the truth revealed there be what either of them expect?

MASTERS OF THE SEA
Master of Rome
John Stack
The powerful third novel in the series is full of dramatic battles by land
and sea, led by tremendous characters on both sides
“Fans of historical naval fiction will be thrilled by this exploration

of an oft-ignored era.” —Publishers Weekly on Ship of Rome
“Strong characters, excellent action . . . builds to a suberb climax.”
—Conn Iggulden, author, The Dangerous Book for Boys, on Ship of Rome
The young Greek captain Atticus is now a commander of the growing
Roman navy. They are blockading a port near Tunis when the Roman le-
gions suffer terrible defeat by the triumphant Carthaginian army, spear-
headed by elephant charges. When he and his ships escape together with
the main body of the Roman fleet, they are first outmaneuvered by the
Carthaginians, then are caught and almost completely annihilated by a
terrible storm. Atticus and his crew are among the handful of survivors,
and being the messenger of this news to the Senta in Rome brings Atti-
cus into political troubles almost as stormy as the sea. He begins to feel
not only that a Greek will never be accepted by the Romans, but also that
the behavior of many, both politicians and soldiers, is such that he is not
sure that he wants to be a Roman.
John Stack is the author of the Masters of the Sea series.

Excerpt:
“Your orders, Prefect,” Baro said, an edge to his voice as he waited for the command to deploy the squadron into
line of battle to counter the threat.
Atticus ignored the demand, but looked instead to the main Carthaginian formation, their course unchanged, the
vanguard of the Roman fleet now obscured by the enemy ships as they swept in before the Carthaginians’ course.
“Will I order the squadron to deploy, Prefect?” Baro asked insistently, glancing briefly at Gaius, seeing the helms-
man’s body braced for the command to come, his knuckles white on the tiller.
Atticus glanced at the enemy ships sweeping down at an oblique angle, poised to slice into his galleys, their fore-
decks crowded with Carthaginian warriors, their war cries growing louder with every passing second. His experi-
ence called him to order his squadron to turn into the fight, but the words would not come, a deeper instinct staying
his command. He looked to the headland where the two main fleets would clash, the place where the battle would
be won or lost, the place Hamilcar Barca had chosen to make his stand.

Each: Fiction • 4.5 x 7 • $9.99 Paper • Corgi
Hero of Rome
The first in a major new Roman trilogy tells the story of Valerius Verrens as he faces up to 50,000
British warriors with only 3,000 defenders—and a last stand that will live on in history
“A master of his discipline rightly hailed as one of the best historical novelists writing
today.” —Daily Express
“If I were Conn Iggulden or Simon Scarrow, I’d be rather worried by the new Scottish
kid on the block.” —Scotsman
The Roman grip on Britain is weakening. Emperor Nero has turned his face away from this
far-flung outpost; the Druids are on the rise, spreading seeds of rebellion among the British
tribes; and Roman cruelty and exploitation have angered their British subjects. The warrior
queen Boudicca will lead the tribes to war. Standing against the rising tide of Boudicca’s re-
bellion is Roman Tribune Gaius Valerius Verrens, commander of the veteran legions at Colo-
nia. Valerius leads the veterans in a last stand against the unstoppable horde of Boudicca’s
rebel army. Step by step, the bloodied survivors are forced back into the Temple of Claudius.
It is here that Valerius wins lifelong fame and the accolade Hero of Rome.

Defender of Rome
The second Valerius Verrens book delivers a powerful mix of gripping historical research
with first-class storytelling
Gaius Valerius Verrens returns to Rome from the successful campaign against Boudicca in
Britain. Now hailed a “Hero of Rome,” Valerius is not the man he once was—he is physi-
cally and emotionally battle scarred, while his sister is mortally ill and his father in self-
imposed exile. Nor is Rome the same city as the one he left. The Emperor Nero grows
increasingly paranoid. Those who seek power for themselves whisper darkly in the emperor’s
ears of a new threat, one found within the walls of Rome itself. A new religious sect, the
followers of Christus, deny Nero’s divinity and are rumored to be spreading sedition. Nero
calls on his “Hero of Rome” to become a “Defender of Rome,” seeking out this rebel sect
and capturing their leader, a man known as Petrus. Failure would be to forfeit his life and those
of 20,000 Judaeans living in Rome. But as Valerius begins his search, he discovers that suc-
cess may cost him nearly as much as failure.

“A masterful debut from a new author completely at home in this era; the writing

the most seasoned veteran, let alone a 19-year-old with no experience of war. A mere
scattering of divided and demoralized legionaries remain, backed up by some fractious
Syrian auxiliaries and a drunken Praetorian Guardsman. With the Palmyrans just days
away, Cassius must somehow find the discipline, resourcefulness, and courage to organize
the garrison, save Alauran, and secure Rome’s eastern frontier.

Roma Victrix
Russell Whitfield
The second adventure in the visceral female gladiator trilogy that began with Gladiatrix,
featuring an unforgettable heroine
“Brutal, bloody, and loaded with authenticity.” —Anthony Riches, author, Empire series
“A great debut that shines an entirely new light on the glory and the bloodshed of the
Roman arena . . . exciting stuff, with well rounded characters, nail-biting duels to the
death, and vividly depicted settings. Gladiatrix makes Gladiator look very tame indeed!”
—Simon Scarrow, author, Under the Eagle, on Gladiatrix
Four years have passed since Lysandra’s epic but inconclusive battle with her hated rival Sorena
in the arena of Halicarnassus, after which both combatants were granted their freedom. Now
Sorena leads a vicious troop of horsewomen. Into her hands falls the young tribune Gaius
Minervius Valerian, and she ponders whether to deal him a slow and painful death, or release
him to journey back to Rome in shame as the sole survivor of the empire’s most humiliating
defeat for half a millennium. Meanwhile, Lysandra has become accustomed to easy living and
suffered an insidious addiction to alcohol that, together with her unabated hubris, is sapping
both her self-esteem and friendships. But now the Emperor Domitian has called for a com-
mand performance at Rome’s newly built Flavian Amphitheatre. Lysandra is invited to fight Rome’s adored Gladiatrix Prima,
the beautiful and deadly fighter known as Aesalon Nocturna, the Midnight Falcon. Her record is devastating: 30 bouts; 30 wins—
no draws or losses. Lysandra has to face up to all that she is and all that she must become as all roads lead to Rome.
Russell Whitfield is the author of Gladiatrix.

AmaZulu
A sweeping historical epic combining history and myth, the first in a trilogy that tracks the
birth and growth of the Zulu empire to its ultimate clash with the British empire in 1879
“An utterly spellbinding and profoundly insightful work . . . something of a master-

piece.” —Sunday Independent
1818, southeast Africa: on the summit of a low hill, encircled by a foe six times their number,
1500 men armed with cowhide shields and short, stabbing spears sit and wait as the midday
sun blazes overhead. Calm in the face of the horde gathering below, they know it’s a good day
for dying—but a better one for killing. At the center of their formation a tall, broad-shoul-
dered man surveys his troops. Only at his command will they rise and engage the enemy. He
is Shaka, his men are Zulu—the best-trained foot soldiers in Africa—and the blood spilled in
the coming battle will write the opening chapter of their legend. Following in Shaka’s foot-
steps, the story sweeps across the burned hills of southeast Africa’s interior, charting the dawn
of the Zulu nation through the eyes of the Induna, a battle-scarred captain, and his 11-year-
old apprentice. Aflame with conflict and intrigue, nobility and treachery, it tells the story of
an unquenchable thirst for revenge and a genius for warfare that forged an empire as power-
ful and revered as Napoleon’s France or Caesar’s Rome.

Shaka the Great

Betrayal, blood, and battle—the second installment in the epic trilogy charting the rise
of one of Africa’s greatest empires
It’s 1826, and Shaka, king of the Zulus, has consolidated his power and is ready to move
against those who continue to resist his authority. But now a new tribe has appeared—
white men from across the Great Water—claiming they wish to trade with Shaka. These
white men may seem puny, and their ways strange, but Shaka believes there’s more to them
than meets the eye. Obsessed with divining their secrets, however, he becomes oblivious to
the threat growing from within his own court. Seething with sorcery and betrayal, battles
and intrigue, triumph and tragedy, this adventure sees one of the greatest leaders of all time
consolidate his power as the first Europeans begin to arrive on the African continent. It
takes us to an empire at its zenith, in a time when the name Zulu began to echo around
the world as a byword for courage and nobility.

THOMAS CHALONER MYSTERIES
The Body in the Thames

Chaloner’s Sixth Exploit in Restoration London
Susanna Gregory
London swelters in a heat wave in the summer of 1664, and in the corri-
dors of power the temperature is equally high as an outbreak of war with
the Dutch threatens to become a reality, in the sixth Chaloner mystery
“Engaging. . . . As usual, Gregory does a fine job integrating fact and

fiction.” —Publishers Weekly
In the dilapidated surroundings of the Savoy hospital, a delegation from
the Netherlands is gathered in a last-ditch attempt to secure peace between
the two nations. Thomas Chaloner, active in Holland during Cromwell’s time,
is horrified at the violent aggression shown to the Dutch by ordinary Lon-
doners, but is more worried by the dismissive attitude with which they are
greeted by the King’s ministers and officials—he has experienced the futil-
ities of war firsthand and has no wish to witness another. When the body
of his former brother-in-law is found in the Thames, and Chaloner discov-
ers the dead man has left enigmatic clues to a motivation for his murder.
Was he involved in a plot to steal the crown jewels, or did he fall foul of
one of the many people in London who are determined that the peace talks
will fail?
Susanna Gregory is a Cambridge academic and the author of the Matthew
Bartholomew Chronicles and the Thomas Chaloner Mysteries.

MATTHEW BARTHOLOMEW CHRONICLES
Mystery in the Minster

Susanna Gregory
The 17th episode in the popular Cambridge series of medieval mysteries,
featuring the physician-cum-sleuth, Matthew Bartholomew
“Superb. . . . The pace never slackens, despite the book’s length, and
Gregory again proves adept at weaving a plot complicated enough to be
baffling but not so intricate as to become confusing.” —Publishers
Weekly starred review
“Gregory again displays her mastery of complex storytelling and period
detail.” —Publishers Weekly starred review of Killer of Pilgrims
Previous edition was entitled Murder in the Minster
In 1358 the fledging college of Michaelhouse in Cambridge is in need of extra
funds. A legacy from the Archbishop of York of a parish close to that city prom-
ises a welcome source of income. However, there has been another claim to its
ownership and it seems the only way to settle the dispute is for a deputation
from Michaelhouse to travel north. Matthew Bartholomew is among the small
party which arrives in the bustling city, where the increasing wealth of the mer-
chants is unsettling the established order, and where a French invasion is an
ever-present threat to its port. But soon he and his colleagues learn that sev-
eral of the Archbishop’s executors have died in unexplained circumstances and
that the codicil naming Michaelhouse as a beneficiary cannot be found.

The Riverman
With big businesses, tortured love affairs, and deadly rivalries all colliding, it’s clear that
this case is as explosive as they come
When the dead body of a man is fished out of Glasgow’s River Clyde the morning after an
office celebration, it looks like a case of accidental death. An anonymous telephone call and
a forensic toxicology test, however, give DCI Lorimer reason to think otherwise. Probing deeper
into the life and business of the deceased accountant, Duncan Forbes, a seemingly upright
member of the community, Lorimer find only yet more unanswered questions. What is the
secret his widow seems to be concealing? Is there any reason to think that the international
accounting firm was facing financial difficulties? What has become of the dead man’s pro-
tégé who has disappeared in New York? When the firm’s human resources manager is found
dead in her riverside flat these questions become only more complex and disturbing.

Pitch Black
Could a soccer supporter be angry enough to put a bullet in a referee’s head? Lorimer deals
with this question as well as a tragedy close to home.
When Chief Inspector Lorimer returns from his holiday on the island of Mull, he feels a wel-
come sense of calm—but it doesn’t last long. Kelvin FC’s new star midfielder is found brutally
stabbed to death in his own home and, with his wife apprehended trying to leave the country,
a seemingly straightforward new case begins. But the grisly murder of a referee after a Kelvin
match throws light on some dark secrets at the ground. And when the latest signing to the club
becomes the latest victim in a string of killings, Lorimer knows there’s a serial killer on the
loose—one that’s only beginning to show his true colors. As lies emerge and tensions build, the
players and managers live under the constant threat of becoming the next Kelvin fatality. Build-
ing to a dark and suspenseful climax, this is Alex Gray’s most powerful work to date.

Shatter the Bones

Stuart MacBride
From the author of Cold Granite and Dark Blood, the new Logan McRae
thriller takes a look at the terrors of reality television celebrity
“Any of the flamboyant evildoers in Dying Light could carry a terrific

whodunit.” —Entertainment Weekly on Dying Light
“Unbelievably assured and accomplished . . . MacBride is starting at
the very top with his first book, which approaches the level of Michael
Connelly’s best work. . . . MacBride’s writing is so good here that it’s
hard to believe it’s not a sign of staying power.” —Flint Journal on
Cold Granite
“MacBride fills his Aberdeen fun house with hearty, clever, and usually
profane humor that lightens every chapter. . . . As Ian Rankin’s long-
running crime series begins to sound like a leaky bagpipe, Scottish
writers such as MacBride arise to take up the kilt-waving in earnest.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Bloodshot
“A marvelously imperfect lead drives MacBride’s intricate sixth crime
novel featuring Aberdeen Det. Sgt. Logan McRae.”
—Publishers Weekly on Dark Blood
You will raise money for the safe return of Alison and Jenny McGregor. If
you raise enough money within fourteen days they will be released. If not,
Jenny will be killed.
Alison and Jenny McGregor—Aberdeen’s own mother-daughter singing sen-
sation—are through to the semi-finals of TV smash-hit Britain’s Next Big
Star. They’re in all the gossip magazines, they have millions of YouTube hits,
and everyone loves them. But their reality-TV dream has turned into a real-
life nightmare. The ransom demand appears in all the papers, on the TV, and on the internet, telling the nation to dig
deep if they want to keep Alison and Jenny alive. The media want action; the public displays of grief and anger are reach-
ing fever-pitch. Time is running out, but DS Logan McRae and his colleagues have nothing to go on: the kidnappers
haven’t left a single piece of forensic evidence. The investigation is going nowhere. It looks as if the price of fame just
got a lot higher.
Stuart MacBride is the author of the Logan McRae books, which include Cold Granite, Dark Blood, Dying Light, and
Flesh House. He won the International Thriller Writers’ Best Debut Novel for Cold Granite and the Theakston’s Old
Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award three times. He is also author of the standalone novel Halfhead.

ous and seedy underworld of Detroit’s gang warfare
“Intriguing . . . all will appreciate the skill with which Nadel depicts
the tensions underlying contemporary Turkish society as well as her
ability to make each of her characters fully human.”
—Publishers Weekly on Arabesk

tion that lies at its heart. When Ezekial Goins, an elderly man of Turkish de-

trip takes a far more sinister turn. As they delve deeper into the case, the
pair find themselves immersed in a terrifying world of intergang drug war
and racial prejudice that puts them in mortal danger, and forces Ikmen to
confront some demons of his own.

Skinner’s Ghosts
Skinner faces the greatest, most personal tests of his career in this seventh captivating crime thriller
Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner could be forgiven for thinking not only that someone up there
doesn’t like him, but that someone down here is out to get him. Suffering the strain of a marriage on
the rocks, the last thing he needs is for his private life to be plastered across the front pages of a sleazy
tabloid. To make matters worse, two brutal murders and new allegations about Skinner himself make
simultaneous headlines. Unless he can clear his name and uncover the secret behind the series of bru-
tal crimes, he stands to lose everything: his family, his career, and even his life and liberty.
Murmuring the Judges

In the eighth absorbing thriller in this series, Bob Skinner faces a complex case of murder and
organized crime
In Edinburgh’s old Parliament House, an armed robbery trial is about to take a macabre turn.
While the lawyers tussle over the evidence, the judge suddenly collapses in agony—the victim of
an apparent heart attack. For Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner, with his life finally back on
track after the near collapse of his marriage, this is the last thing he needs. But as the wave of
brutal robberies continues, it emerges that Lord Archergait’s death may have been murder—and
he’s not the only judge whose life is in danger. With a gang of ruthless killers still at large, it’s
down to Skinner to piece together a puzzle of sinister complexity.

ominous pattern. For Skinner, the desperate race to find a heartless terrorist mixes uneasily with
the search for a mercy killer—a search which takes on a poignant personal significance.

Thursday Legends
A brutal and apparently motiveless murder leads Skinner to suspect his own friends of
treachery, in this gripping 10th novel of retribution and ultimate justice
For Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner, the Thursday night football game at the local gym
has long been an unbroken ritual—until the savagely mutilated body of a former player is

pace, everything keeps pointing to the Legends themselves. Is someone targeting this dis-
parate group of colleagues and friends in some bizarre scheme of retribution? Or is the mur-
derer one of them? Either way, the hunt for the killer is going to come uncomfortably close
to home.

Happy Days
As ex-drug baron Bazza Mackenzie runs for parliament, ex-cop Paul Winter knows that
his time with Bazza must, at whatever cost, come to an end, in the 12th title in this highly
acclaimed series of police procedurals
“There is no one writing better police procedurals today.” —Sunday Telegraph

DI Faraday is gone and the police are left reeling. As his boss attempts to limit any possi-
ble PR damage, his one time shadow on the force, ex-DC Winter, is ever more concerned
that he may have made the biggest mistake of his life throwing in his lot with the city’s
drug baron, Bazza McKenzie—especially as Bazza becomes increasingly desperate and vi-
olent as his empire begins to crumble under the weight of austere times. And, in the per-
son of DS Jimmy Suttle there’s a new will at the heart of the embattled police force to nail
Bazza once and for all, the one man Faraday was always desperate to bring to justice. Gra-
ham Hurley’s trademark authenticity has been allied to an ever increasing sense of drama
as he charts the lives of his vivid characters and paints a stunning portrait of a city and a
country at war with itself, a war which throws the police into the front line.

One December morning in a small rural town on the Swedish coast, Ake Melkersson is on

he realizes something is wrong. The owner of the garage lies dead, sprawled on the ground,
his lower body crushed where a car has repeatedly driven over him. The murder investiga-
tion is led by Inspector Christian Tell, known as something of a lone wolf, but he has very
few clues to go on and the deceased’s wife is out of the country on holiday. Cut to 10 years

tered home and her neurotic mother. But when an older student takes an overbearing in-
terest in her things begin to go wrong. Back in the present, another murder occurs when a
man is shot in the head; again his body is driven over several times. Tell is becoming increasingly involved with a reporter but
their relationship is complicated—especially when aspects of the case remind the reporter of someone she knew who went miss-
ing 10 years earlier.

Best Eaten Cold and Other Stories
A Murder Squad Anthology
Murder Squad
Edited by Martin Edwards
Foreword by Barry Forshaw
A collection showcasing the short story talents of the collective known
as the Murder Squad—featuring several award-winning and highly ac-
claimed crime writers
“Cleeves’s taut, atmospheric thriller, the first in a new series, will keep
readers guessing until the last page.” —Publishers Weekly starred re-
view of Raven Black by Ann Cleeves
“This stunning British suspense story will keep readers edgy and
guessing until the very end. . . . Murphy makes the reader squirm with
impatience, willing the narrative forward. A first-rate chiller.”
—Booklist starred review of Darkness Falls by Margaret Murphy
The members of the Murder Squad all share a special passion for crime, which
is reflected in this superb new volume of previously unpublished tales. Funny
and sad, atmospheric and dark, ingenious and frightening, each of the 13
stories in this collection—two or three from each contributor—will thrill
lovers of crime fiction. In “The Habit of Silence,” DI Vera Stanhope—
whom Ann Cleeves developed “Because I was so cross with even feminist
writers writing female-central characters who were young, fit, and beauti-
ful. Vera isn’t any of those things. She’s overweight and middle-aged.”—
investigates the case of the body in the library. In Martin Edwards’ “The
People Outside,” a tight-knit community is ripped apart by violence, and a
lust for vengeance. Cath Staincliffe’s “Boom!” is the explosive story of mur-
der in Manchester. Margaret Murphy tells of a Liverpool lad troubled by a
mortal sin, in “The Message.” The title story is by Stuart Pawson, and asks
Why would a writer want to plot revenge? In Cleeves’ second offering, “Basic
Skills,” Maddy thought that books could change lives—but so can murder. Staincliffe’s “Laptop” features a laptop thief who takes
more than she bargained for. “Act of Contrition,” by Murphy, asks if Janice is pleading for forgiveness—or seeking something
more sinister? When a rich man’s butler vanishes, in Edwards’ “The Case of the Musical Butler,” Sherlock Holmes is asked to
investigate. Cleeves’ “Mud” tells of a woman remembering the past, betrayal, and a death. “Riviera” by Staincliffe explores the
question When you look in a mirror, who do you see? Pawson tell of a Christmas in prison—but goodwill is in short supply, in
“Sprouts.” At the end of a book, an index tells a tale of murder, in Edwards’ “InDex.”
Murder Squad is a collective of leading crime fiction writers. The contributing members to this anthology are Ann Cleeves, the
CWA Gold Dagger–winning author of Raven Black, Red Bones, and White Nights; Martin Edwards, the CWA Short Story Dag-
ger–winning author of The Hanging Wood and Serpent Pool; Margaret Murphy, the author of Darkness Falls and Weaving Shad-
ows; Stuart Pawson, the author of The Mushroom Man; and Cath Staincliffe, the author of Blue Murder. Barry Forshaw is the
author of The Man Who Left Too Soon and The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction.

baffling death of a world-famous actor—and his relationship with his guide dog may
hold the key to the mystery

book to skip through but one to be enjoyed and savored.” —Eurocrime
“A well-balanced combination of instruction, mystification and action . . . a very
promising debut.” —Literary Review
“Gripping.” —Dog Today

and reliant on his brilliant guide dog, Suzy, but where is she? It seems unimaginable that
Suzy would have led him into danger, so is it murder? When she finally turns up, she is stressed
and tense. Chief Superintendent “Fatso” and Detective Chief Inspector Ned turn to their
police dog handler, Kate, aka “The Dog Tart,” who suggests they find Suzy’s trainer Nick
Parsons, in the hope that he can get the dog to lead them to the truth. The search for Nick
Parsons culminates in a highly unusual plan, in which Ned will become blind for one night
and with Suzy the guide dog, reenact Sir Tommy Best’s last fateful walk. The truth which
they uncover is utterly horrible.

Telling Stories
Beverly Jones
The Secret History meets The Life and Loves of a She-Devil in a gripping thriller that sub-
verts chick lit clichés in a trail of blood and jealousy
Friendship, freedom, booze, and student loans: the glory days of student life. For Liz, Cora,
Mike, and Stevie, students at Cardiff, their circle was a surrogate family, bound together
for three years in total trust. After graduation the group “stays in touch” with growing dis-
tance, but eventually reunites, with Mike and Cora returning to live in Cardiff. The four-
some paints the town red, marking Stevie’s birthday in an orgy of nostalgia, when from
nowhere, a beautiful—and younger—flame-haired girl appears. “Jenny” knows their
names, but her identity is a total mystery to them all, or so Liz and Cora think. When Jenny
is found dead, foul play presumed, Liz is assigned to cover the story. She finds herself caught
up in an expanding web of lies as Jenny’s death is traced back to that fateful night. The an-
cient secrets of their college days begin to catch up with them all. Full of surprises, this mur-
der mystery subverts and reinvents the chick lit genre in a darker shade of lipstick, marking
the emergence of a major new voice.
Beverley Jones was a TV and newspaper journalist before taking up her current job as a
press and media officer. Telling Stories is her first novel.

count climbs on the dusty streets of Santa Mondega, who will be the last one standing?

they are caught in an avalanche. Miraculously, one climber, Odagiri, is known to have survived
for four days after his companions had frozen to death. The reader enters the mind of Oda-
giri trapped in snow, half-frozen, half-asleep, and revisiting his past as death slowly creeps upon
him, telling his own story and that of an adventure gone wrong. A unique masterpiece of stream-
of-consciousness and thrilling adventure, this is Tatematsu’s most famous novel in Japan, brought

Brodmaw Bay
F. G. Cottam
Another masterpiece of suspense from the author of the acclaimed The House of Lost Souls
“A riveting supernatural thriller. . . . Evokes influences that range from Dennis Wheatley
(who has a minor role) to Shirley Jackson. . . . Rich in atmosphere, the book builds to a
shattering finale.” —Publishers Weekly starred review of The House of Lost Souls
It’s the perfect seaside village—no crime, no one from the city. When things start to go wrong
for James Greer in London, Brodmaw Bay seems to be calling him and his family. There’s a per-
fect house, excellent schools—and welcoming neighbors who assure the Greers that they’d be
delighted to have some new blood in the Bay. But perhaps the village isn’t so much welcoming
them as luring them, to something ancient and evil.

F. G. Cottam
A beautifully written, chilling ghost story full of suspense and mystery
“Human passions are always at the root of Cottam’s hauntings, and his skill is to tease

saintly priests, decadent seekers, and damned souls.” —Financial Times

turbed and feeling as if somebody is watching you. . . . I am rapidly becoming a big fan of
this author. Next please!” —Eurocrime

tiful estate. On the edge of his grounds lies a derelict Edwardian railway station waiting room
once used to transport troops in the Great War. Silent for many years, it has become a play-
ground for Martin’s children, but now they won’t go near it. Strange occurrences in the wait-
ing room lead Martin to seek the help of TV’s favorite ghost hunter Julian Creed. But Creed’s
psychic ability is a fabrication to gain viewers—he doesn’t believe in the paranormal at all. That
is, until he spends a night in the waiting room.

A Prague Thriller
Miloš Urban
A Bulgakov-like cocktail of romance, murder, and mystery are conjured up in this exis-
tential thriller set in the Czech capital

—Prague Post

This witty, inventive Gothic novel tells the story of Count Arco, a keen fencer and debauched
womanizer in 19th-century Prague, who makes a lone stand against the destruction of the
popular Jewish quarter, with its Bohemian nightlife and whorehouses. Arco buys up a house

James Herbert
The story of a dog who thinks he’s a man, or a man who thinks he’s a dog
“The author has an undeniable knack for thrilling, as few other writers have . . . he
sure can tell a devil of a story.” —Literary Review
He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger
and hunting a quarry he could not define. But he was also something more. Somewhere in
the depths of his consciousness was a memory clawing its way to the surface, tormenting
him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he had once been—a man.

The Berlin Crossing
Kevin Brophy
For readers who were gripped by the world of espionage in William Boyd’s
Restless, this is a compelling, unforgettable novel that brings to life the
very human story behind a momentous turning point in history
It’s 1993 in Germany and the Berlin Wall is down, the country is reunified,
and 30 year-old school teacher Michael Ritter feels his life is falling apart.
His wife has thrown him out, his new West German headmaster has fired
him for being a former card-carrying Socialist Party member, and he is still
clinging on to the wreckage of the state that shaped him. Disenfranchised
and disenchanted, Michael heads home to care for his terminally ill mother.
On her deathbed, she urges him to seek out an evangelical priest, Pastor
Bruck, and discover the truth about his father. Initially, Michael dismisses
her fevered ramblings, but as the days pass he cannot let it go. He eventu-
ally finds the priest and is taken on a journey into a past of dark discover-
ies which shatter everything he’s previously believed in. This is an
unforgettable novel that brings to life the very human story behind a mo-
mentous turning point in history.
Kevin Brophy has written various nonfiction books.
9780755380848 • May • $24.95 Cloth • Headline Review
Dear Reader,
I hope you enjoy my novel.
The Berlin Crossing is the story of an individual’s search for his roots, in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Michael
Ritter was a card-carrying member of the ruling Socialist Party; in the new reunited Germany his past is a liability which
costs him his job and his marriage. In his journey of discovery Michael confronts the good and the evil of the coutnry he
had loved—and which no longer existed.
I taught English to adults in different centres in the reunited Germany. Those students from the former East always fasci-
nated me. Perhaps they sensed my interest, my sympathy: in any event, some of them trusted me enough to talk about their
past, even to the extent of telling me they’d been members of the Party. Some of these displaced, defensive Germans were
ill-at-ease in their new coutnry.
It was out of such encounters that The Berlin Crossing was born. Born out of the failure of a country, you might say. But
then failure is often far more interesting than success. (Which may account for my love of the old-gold-and-black of Wolver-
hampton Wanderers . . . but that’s another story.)
I hope you’ll take the time to join Michael Ritter on his journey into another time, another country.
Thank you,
Kevin Brophy

I Am a Chechen!
German Sadulaev
The first compelling voice in literary fiction to emerge from the Chechen War
“This unique mixture of lyricism, legend, memoir, and fiction captures the sorrows of
his nation. He is haunted by the people he loved and left behind, and driven to tell
their stories. Tragedy is everywhere here, but the most powerful element is the sheer
beauty of the land and the singularity of its people. Excellent.” —Times
“This is the first Chechen-authored book to make it into English in recent history, and
it’s a welcome antidote to our collective ignorance.” —Guardian
With a lyrical fusion of exotic legends, stories, and memories of Chechnya, this fictional-
ized biography offers a rare glimpse of a land of wondrous beauty, site of genocides past
and present, and the author’s ancestral home. Haunted by memories of the land he deserted,
Sadulaev tells the stories of those who stayed behind. He brings dead friends back to life
again, revisiting their first loves, their passion for rock music, and their quests for martyr-
dom. He immerses readers in the intoxicating beauty of his homeland’s mountains, blos-
soms, and the flocks of migratory swallows that fill its skies. This is an intensely personal
journey through the carnage of the war, exploring the pain, the challenge, and above all the
meaning of being a Chechen.
German Sadulaev was born in 1973 and grew up in the Chechen village of Shali. At 16, be-
fore the start of the first Chechen war, he left to study law in St. Petersburg, and lives there
now. He is the author of five books, of which I Am a Chechen! is the second. Sadulaev’s
work has unleashed heated debate in Russia; it has been short-listed for the Russian Booker
Prize, twice for the National Bestseller award, and has won the Eureka Prize.

Dancing with Eva

Alan Judd
A beautiful and utterly gripping recreation of the final days in Hitler’s bunker and their
terrifying legacy, told from the intimate point of view of one of Eva Braun’s secretaries
“An expertly controlled piece of work. . . . The storytelling keeps the story taut right to
the end.” —Observer
“It speaks volumes for Alan Judd that he can take such a familiar theme and approach it
in such a fresh, original way. The prose is precise, measured: every word is chosen with
care . . . builds to a thunderous, nerve-shredding climax.” —Sunday Telegraph
“Alan Judd just may have invented a new sub-genre: the historical spy procedural. . . .
Thoroughly engaging.” —San Jose Mercury News on Legacy
In April 1945 Hitler’s bunker in Berlin was the last place Edith Mecklenburg wanted to be.
But Edith had no choice: as secretary to Eva Braun, Hitler’s mistress and, for a few final, des-
perate hours, his wife, Edith had to see it through to the bitter end. Edith was one of the lucky
few; she not only got out alive but made a new life for herself in England. Sixty years later,
she is now a widow and grandmother, and the bunker is almost forgotten. But the past has
not forgotten her. Hans, a soldier she knew from those dark days, has written asking if he
may visit. Obsessed with the war, he has spent the intervening decades tracking down all who
were there, and who survived. In her reluctant raking-over of old coals, Edith finds embers
that still burn, and in the act of remembrance a very current threat.
Alan Judd reviews fiction for the Daily Telegraph and is the author of Legacy. He was one of
Granta’s first Best of Young British Novelists.

in Stratton being sent on a kidnap mission to Yemen—but when the Chi-

of new demolition charge. Sykes realizes that this new German secret weapon could have enor-
mous implications for the Allies. In a daring mission, the two men attempt the impossible: to
gain entry to the fort and retrieve the armory. What follows is a desperate battle against the
odds that holds the fate of many more lives than just their own in the balance. Dawson must
embark upon an epic attempt to reach Dunkirk, for he is not merely stealing a weapon; he
might attain the firepower of an entire war.

Orphans of Eldorado
Milton Hatoum
A magical retelling of the myth of Eldorado, the Enchanted City of the
Amazon, by one of Brazil’s most acclaimed writers
“With his erudition and marshalling of historical detail, Hatoum com-

pressed an epic into a novella.” —Times Literary Supplement
“Hatoum masterfully deals with universal truths of love, envy, jeal-
ousy, competition, and rage. Gripping, heartbreaking, and breathtak-
ing.” —Booklist on The Brothers
The setting for this magical fable is Eldorado, the enchanted city that in-
habited the fevered dreams of European navigators and conquistadors, but
eluded all attempts to find it on the map. Some have linked it to Manaus
in the Amazon Basin, and it is here that Arminto Cordovil lives with his fa-
ther Amando in a white mansion. Theirs is a relationship full of passion
and limitless ambition. Separating father and son is a remarkable cast of
characters, from Angelina, the dead mother, to Denisio, the infernal boat-
man, and at the center, Dinaura, a girl who bewitches Arminto and dreams
of Eldorado. This rich and magical fable beautifully captures the atmos-
phere of the steamy, lush Amazonian world.
Milton Hatoum is the author of Ashes of the Amazon, The Brothers, and
Tale of a Certain Orient. He is a three-time winner of the prestigious Jabuti
Prize for best novel, Brazil’s leading literary award.

Malice in Blunderland
Jonny Gibbings
For fans of Irvine Welsh and Chuck Palahniuk, this brash comedic farce is nar-
rated in a unique politically incorrect manner—not for the faint of heart, but very,
very funny
Our unnamed hero is about to experience the worst week of his life. Waking up in
a boat in a car park miles from home missing a shoe is just the start—by the end of
the week he will have been beaten up more than once, arrested several times, crossed
the twisted leader of a Ukranian Mafia cartel, had very, very bad sex with a nympho-
maniac wheelchair-user, been mistaken for a serial rapist, and faced death—his own
and someone else’s. Not bad for a man whose biggest claim to fame so far has been
his ability to do nothing constructive at work except play practical jokes with his
nerdy colleague’s sandwiches. With its idiosyncratic spelling and grammar, unique
internal monologues, and a sprinkling of invented words, this tale is as wild as I
Hope They Serve Beer in Hell with more references to drugs than Trainspotting, leav-
ing readers with a warm glow inside and an inane grin on their faces—not unlike
that of the nameless and unfortunate hero.

Xanthe is a woman living on the edge as she recalls her submission to a cruel and abusive
master whose name is tattooed between her shoulder blades. Yoshiko, a young Japanese
student, now finds her spider’s web tattoo immature—she plans a bolder statement. Trainee
lawyer and bulimic Zairah has Mickey Mouse on her hip, a symbol of a youth she wishes
to forget—she wants to be fierce. All three discover Fabrice, the tattooist who has only the
symbol for gold as a sign on his parlor. As he covers their old tattoos with his exquisite de-
signs, Fabrice practices his human alchemy on each of them, subtly luring them into sub-
mission, humiliation, and confusion. With Rohypnol in his pocket he visits the women, at
their invitations. As his art covers their physical past, his personality and private rituals oblit-
erate their senses of self. Only one of the women intuits Fabrice’s intentions. Can she fight?
Is the fight actually a part of his plan for her? Might such rebellion result in the ultimate
degradation—the loss of her sanity?

Sucking Sherbet Lemons

Michael Carson
Foreword by Simon Callow and Michael Cashman
A classic, hilarious, coming-out novel about growing up in the 1960s—can Benson be both
gay and Catholic? Gay and happy?
“Makes you want to cheer.” —New Yorker

“A gay Adrian Mole . . . the funniest book I’ve read all year.” —Simon Callow
What do you do when you’re fat, 14, and your obsessions include the Catholic Church, doing
the right thing, scones and sweets, and other boys and their private parts? Well, if you’re
Benson, you panic and flee, hiding from the flesh as a novice in a monastery. Alas, St. Fin-
bar’s monastery is as full of temptation as the grammar school he’d left behind. The devils
of desire find Benson once again and throw him back into the world from which he’d tried
to escape. Returned to school, Benson is still trying to square the circle of his conflicting en-
thusiasms and desires. This comic epic is a warm, funny, and bold reminder of just how new,

How I Killed Margaret Thatcher
Anthony Cartwright
A novel that captures the intensity of early 1980s politics and family life through the
eyes of an unusual boy
“Gritty and engrossing.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Afterglow

It is 1979 and Sean Bull is nine years old. He lives in Dudley, on the shores of a metal sea,
where his dad and granddad come home each night from the steel factories. In an idyllic
childhood Sean runs around with his friends, dreams of playing football and cricket for Eng-
land, and enjoys his holidays at the caravan in Wales. When Margaret Thatcher becomes
prime minister, she slowly begins to take away everything he loves—somebody has to stop
her. His Uncle Billy wants there to be a revolution, but that isn’t going to start on its own,
not with the prime minister fighting wars in South America and being voted for in bigger
and bigger numbers, and not while she’s guarded by her own secret army, the SAS. Sean
comes to realize there is only one option open to him—he must kill Margaret Thatcher. This
novel offers English twist on that most Latin American of genres, the dictator novel.
Anthony Cartwright is the author of The Afterglow, which was awarded a Betty Trask Award
in 2004, and Heartland.

Disappearing Home
Deborah Morgan
An unsentimental, beautifully written, Raymond Carver-esque tale of a childhood in jeopardy
From her parents’ 1970s tenement home Robyn soon becomes so skilled at shoplifting that
her reputation spreads. She takes her punishment at school, but is much more scared of the
vicious threats of her father; and as frightened for her mother’s safety as for her own. Her
fun-loving grandmother offers her comfort, wisdom, and hope that Robyn might be differ-
ent from her parents. As her father’s random cruelty intensifies, she has to seek refuge in her
grandmother’s home and in the homes of friends, even joining her mother in a women’s shel-
ter, all the time learning more about the unpredictable ways of the people around her and
her own potential. She’ll need all of this precocious wisdom and the assistance of her grandma
to face up once and for all to the twisted violence in her home and engineer a way out of
this childhood to reach a place of safety and freedom.
Deborah Morgan has worked as a chambermaid, a bingo caller, a dressmaker, and a grade

A young woman’s adventurous quest to find the truth about her mother’s past in Italy—a tale
rich with romance, dark secrets, mature storytelling, and sharp wit
“Sun-drenched, dark, and intriguing. I love the way she painted Italy.” —Kate Long, au-
thor, The Bad Mother’s Handbook
Liddy and Helena are students working as au pairs on the island of Ischia in the summer of 1979.
They expect to spend the summer having fun on the beach and in their new, opulent surroundings,
looking after the children of the Verduccis and the Baldinis. But they hadn’t counted on a kidnapped
child, dangerous love affairs, and the carabinieri. Twenty-five years later Liddy, walking her dog
on an English beach, spies a figure reminiscent of her estranged friend—it is Helena’s daughter, Allie.
At the risk of opening an old wound, she befriends her. And so Allie is set upon a startling quest
for identity, taking her across Europe to the family villa where it all went so wrong for her mother.
Her curiosity and persistence forges surprising links with two families she’d only heard about from
Liddy, as she seeks her father and discovers what really took place during that summer in Ischia.

VIRAGO MODERN CLASSICS

The Birds on the Trees
Nina Bawden
Noted for the acuity with which she reaches into the heart of relationships, Nina Bawden
here excels in revealing the painful, intimate truths of a family in crisis
Short-listed in 2010 for the Lost Man Booker Prize of 1970—a special edition of
the Man Booker Prize, described by the New York Times as “an act of literary
reparation,” was to address the fact that books published in 1970 were not
eligible for the Man Booker Prize due to a rules alteration
The expulsion from school of their eldest son shatters the middle-class security of Maggie, a writer,
and Charlie, a journalist. Since childhood, Toby has been diffident and self-absorbed, but the threat
of drug taking, and his refusal (or inability) to discuss his evident unhappiness, disturbs them
sufficiently to seek professional help. Veering between private agony and public cheerfulness, Mag-
gie and Charlie struggle to support their son and cope with the reactions—and advice—of friends
and relatives. Toby’s situation is explored with great tenderness, while Maggie’s grief and self-
recrimination are rigorously, if compassionately, observed. This is a novel that raises fundamen-
tal questions about parents and their children, and offers tentative hope but no tidy solutions.
Nina Bawden has published more than 40 novels and was short-listed for the Booker Prize for Circles
of Deceit. In 2004 she received the PEN Award for a Lifetime’s Service to Literature.

Armistice
Nick Stafford
A rich, atmospheric story of love and war from the acclaimed playwright who adapted
the Tony Award–winning War Horse
“Like War Horse, this is the story of a heroic quest, a painstaking sifting through the
rubble of war by a heroine back at home unafraid to fight her own battles. Stafford’s
fans won’t be disappointed—and no puppetry is required.” —Observer
A national touring production of War Horse will begin in Los Angeles in
June 2012, while a Toronto production opens February 2012
Philomena Bligh’s fiancé, Dan, has been shot. World War I claimed many lives, but Dan was
shot in the minutes after the Armistice. She cannot understand how this could have hap-
pened, or why they were still fighting that morning anyway. So, in March 1919, over Dan’s
birthday, Philomena travels to London to meet the men who were with him when he died.
What she discovers is more shocking than she’d ever imagined. Dan’s best friend, Jonathan,
tells her that Dan was shot by a British officer over a gambling debt. There is no proof and
all records of Jonathan’s accusation have been destroyed. Philomena decides she must take
on the establishment. Worried that she may cause his own downfall and feeling guilty for
his mysterious part in Dan’s death, Jonathan accompanies her. Set against a backdrop of
London in the aftermath of the Great War, a time of upheaval, grief, and wanton escapism,
this is not just an inspirational book about what it means to be a hero, but also a breath-
taking love story.
Nick Stafford is a playwright and writer whose adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s War Horse
garnered him the Tony Award for Best Play in 2011.

Good to Be God
Tibor Fischer
A darkly hilarious tale of a perennially unlucky man who, in anything-goes Miami, com-
mits to the ultimate stolen identity scheme—playing God
“Brutal, dazzling and clever.” —Independent

“An intelligent, thoughtful black comedy by a writer who deserves to be taken seri-
ously.” —New York Times on The Thought Gang
“Of all the young novelists working today, Tibor Fischer may be the most adept at tak-
ing chances in his work.”—The Nation on Under the Frog
Using the credit card and identity of a handcuff salesman, professional failure Tyndale Cor-
bett arrives in Miami for a law enforcement conference to discover the joys of luxury hotels
and above all the delight of being someone else, someone successful. Feeling his previous
lack of success might be due to insufficient ambition, Tyndale decides on a new money-mak-
ing scheme. He will up the ante substantially and exponentially, and pretend to be someone
really important and successful—God. His mission to convince the citizenry of Miami that
he is, despite appearances, the Supreme Being, results in him taking over the Church of the
Heavily Armed Christ. His duties there involve him in forming a private army, hiring call
girls, trafficking coke, issuing death threats, beating off church-jackers, and sorting out (as
almightily as possible) various problems his parishioners are having with pets. All the while
he is working on his grand project, the clincher miracle—dying and coming back to life.

Under the Frog, for which he was short-listed for the Booker Prize and won a Betty Trask

The Invisible City
Emili Rosales
Translated by Martha Tennent
A literary thriller about a contemporary gallery owner plunged into a fascinating extinct world
“Emili Rosales is one of the brightest and more promising new voices in recent Catalan
literature. . . . Invisible City is a seductive cocktail that blends intrigue, art, and the se-
cret history of Europe to create a literary yet thrilling journey of self-discovery.”
—Carlos Ruiz Zafón, author, The Shadow of the Wind
Emili Rossell, the young owner of one of Barcelona’s top galleries, receives an old manuscript
written by an Italian architect about the “Invisible City”—an ambitious project dreamed up
by King Charles III to build an alternative capital city in the Ebro delta. The manuscript con-
tains hints about a lost masterpiece by the Venetian painter Tiepolo, and the site of the In-
visible City is where Emili used to play as a child. Juxtaposing the life of the 18th-century
royal court and the contemporary art world—both with a similar share of intrigue, politics,
and romance—this is a gripping historical mystery and a compelling examination of the forces
of power and love.
Emili Rosales is a publisher and a regular contributor to the newspapers Avui and La Van-
guardia. He has been described by critics as one of the most interesting voices of the new gen-
eration of Catalan writers. His fourth novel, The Invisible City won one of the most prestigious
literary prizes in the Catalan language, the Sant Jordi Prize. Martha Tennent’s translations
include Death in Spring, nominated for the Best Translated Book Award, and The Selected
Stories of Merce Rodoreda. She lives in Barcelona and New York.

When her perfect world shatters, can Eva pick up the pieces?
“With a sympathetic heroine, fully developed supporting characters, and well-crafted,

contemporary dialog . . . the heartfelt, deeply touching story should satisfy contempo-
rary romance readers.” —Booklist
Sixteen years ago Eva Montgomery had everything going for her, but her life changed for-
ever when she fell in love with the wrong man. Shortly afterwards she was viciously attacked
by a stalker, left disfigured, and forced to give up what was most precious to her for the
chance of a new life for them both. Now, Eva has managed to rebuild her life in a way that
seemed impossible after the attack. Her home in Dorset, high on the cliffs overlooking the
sea, is as elegant as Eva herself, but bears none of the scars. The love she shares with her
husband, Don, has become the very mainstay of her existence. Her beloved sister lives nearby.
To an outsider, Eva’s world seems perfect, however, behind the facade there is more tragedy
and deceit than even she is aware of. When the past starts to invade the present, Eva won-
ders if she’ll ever be able to break free from a past that nearly destroyed her—and is threat-
ening to do so again.

Out of the Picture
Polly Samson
A reissue of the evocative first novel by the author of Perfect Lives
“A finely crafted diversion.” —Publisher Weekly

“Astutely observed linked stories reveal the pleasures, temptations,
secrets, and disappointments of lovers, parents, and children in an Eng-
lish seaside town.” —O magazine, on Perfect Lives
Quite unlike her fair stepsisters, Lizzie is dark and secretive, “just like your
father,” says her mother. But what was her father like? Photos of him are hid-
den away, and snatches of overheard conversation between her mother and
her stepfather deepen the mystery. Only her best friend Savannah—also aban-
doned by her father when she was a baby—knows what it feels like to won-
der, to try and piece together an earlier story. When events propel Lizzie to
go to London alone she stops wondering and starts searching. Beautifully evok-
ing the ache of childhood loss, the scrappy joys of chaotic families, and the
hurt and relief of understanding, this novel reveals Polly Samson’s talent for
laying bare the uncomfortable truths that lie just under the skin, in every fam-
ily, in every secret.
Polly Samson is the author of Lying in Bed and Perfect Lives. She cowrites
lyrics with her husband David Gilmour for his band Pink Floyd.

Excerpt:
In each of the frames she finds black and white prints. Several portraits of Elena, and one misty nude of her holding a baby
to her breast. The other three photographs are too much. Lizzie’s legs buckle, she realises that she shouldn’t have come out
with a temperature. She is on her knees, eyes involuntarily closing in her head, which feels too heavy for her neck. When
she looks again, the portraits are still there, as before: three stark images amongst the candles. They are of herself. One as
a baby, another as a toddler on Elena’s lap and the third—how could it be?—a double profile, like the trick pictures that
appear to be people one moment and a candlestick the next. A double profile of her four year old self nose to nose with
Jack Seymour.
Elena has still not returned with the tea and the house is silent. Lizzie stumbles back across the floor to the chair, tries to
steady her breathing. The cat snakes onto her lap, soft as warm clay, and starts to purr and, at last, she hears the rattling
of porcelain and Elena glides back into the room bearing a tray.
“Excellent,” she says setting the tray down. “I see you have made friends with Ying.”
“Ying?”
“Yes, handsome isn’t he? A lavender Burmese. I have others. Tell me, little one, do you like cats?”
“Yes . . . Elena, do I already know you?” Lizzie’s voice is quavering but Elena appears not to hear her as she lifts the lid
on the teapot.

A sweeping epic saga about the Spanish Civil War—the Spanish Dr. Zhivago
In a small town on the outskirts of Madrid, a funeral is taking place. Julio Carrion Gon-
zalez, a man of tremendous wealth and influence in Madrid, has come home to be buried.
But as the family stands by the graveside, his son Alvaro notices the arrival of an attractive
stranger—no one appears to know who she is, or why she is there. Alvaro’s questions deepen
when the family inherits an enormous amount of money, a surprise even to them. In his fa-
ther’s study Alvaro discovers an old folder with letters sent to his father in Russia between
1941 and 1943, faded photos of people he never met, and a locked grey metal box. The
woman is Raquel Fernandez Perea, the daughter of Spaniards who fled during the Civil War.
From the provincial heartlands of Spain to the battlefields of Russia, this is a mesmerizing
journey through a war that tore families apart, pitting fathers against sons, brothers against
brothers, and wives against husbands. Against such a past, where do faith and loyalty lie?

derstands her primal connection to the island. Years before he spent a winter working in

destroyed. Still wounded, Tom lives a simple life, unable and unwilling to make real con-

both she and Tom must face their pasts in ways they cannot even begin to imagine, and
Mary finds that the script she’s written to the end of her life has taken on a few twists of
its own.

At 34, Faith Roberts isn’t so different from most women her age. Okay, so her cleavage is
rather disappointing and she’s still single, but she has a busy job, the usual dysfunctional
family, a clinically depressed best friend, and a younger sister who is getting breast implants
as an engagement present—practically normal.
Faith used to think about falling in love, but that was a long time ago. As a counselor in a
women’s crisis center, she’s heard one too many love-gone-wrong stories, so it’s hard for
her not to give up on the big things, like love, hope, and trust—let alone the chance of get-
ting a decent haircut or meeting a halfway normal guy. Then one night, an odd twist of fate
finds Faith in a situation that transforms her life, bringing her to finally understand what
she has always needed to know: that before you can save others, you have to save yourself.

Shooting the Fox
Marion Halligan
On love and loss, sex and death, food and gardening—a beautifully crafted new col-
lection by Australia’s most assured short story writer
Why did Bluebeard kill his wives? Because that’s what he did. It’s a given. It’s the plot.
Until the lucky one, who is saved. The even more interesting question is: why did Mrs
Bluebeard feel utterly unable to resist opening the door? Don’t we all think, when it comes
to these stories, that we’d have made it work? So much freedom, and one tiny forbidden
thing. Not important, a token in fact. So easy to obey so small a prohibition. We think,
if I had been Eve I wouldn’t have picked the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, I wouldn’t have given a piece to Adam. I and my progeny down the millennia
would still be multiplying fruitfully in the Garden of Eden.
Life in all its richness is reflected in this superb new collection from one of Australia’s
most acclaimed short story writers. These stories are brimming with surprising charac-
ters—the virgin and the pornographer, the adulterer, the translator, the defecting diplo-
mat—and the inconveniences of modernity. In the end, though, it is a collection of stories
about happiness, its circuitous routes, its surprising outcomes, and the consequences when
we fail in its pursuit.

Walking on Glass
Iain Banks
A reissue of Iain Banks’ second novel—three separate stories which unfold to come in-
tricately and masterfully together
“An extraordinary feat, terrifying and baffling, going far beyond the bounds of fiction
as it’s usually defined.” —Publishers Weekly
“His vision of disillusion and escape remains memorably funny and sad, like the idea
of glass made real in his castle: a transparent yet only apparent solid, that slowly is
puddling under the pull of gravity. Recommended.” —Library Journal
Her eyes were black, wide as though with some sustained surprise, the skin from their outer
corners to her small ears taut. Her lips were pale, and nearly too full for her small mouth,
like something bled but bruised. He had never seen anyone or anything quite so beautiful
in his life.
Graham Park is in love, but Sara Fitch is an enigma to him, a creature of almost perverse
mystery. Steven Grout is paranoid, and with justice. He knows that They are out to get him,
and They are. Quiss, insecure in his fabulous if ramshackle castle, is forced to play inter-
minable impossible games. The solution to the oldest of all paradoxical riddles will release
him, but he must find an answer before he knows the question. Park, Grout, Quiss—no trio could be further apart, but their
separate courses are set for collision.
Iain Banks has gained enormous popular and critical acclaim for both his mainstream and his science fiction novels. He is per-
haps best known for his Culture series of novels, which includes Consider Phlebas, Matter, and Surface Detail.

The Steep Approach to Garbadale

Iain Banks
Dark family secrets and a long-lost love affair lie at the heart of a fabulous new novel by
the author of Matter and The Wasp Factory
“What Banks serves up is both unanticipated and terrible. The fates of his characters are
genuinely affecting. He achieves this by a broad adherence to a thriller structure. And by
an empathetic brilliance.” —Evening Standard
“Magnificent . . . ably demonstrates that Banks is still at the height of his powers.”
—Publishers Weekly starred review of Matter
The Wopuld family built its fortune on a board game called Empire!, now a hugely successful
computer game. So successful, in fact, that the American Spraint Corp wants to buy the firm
out. Young renegade Alban, who has evaded the family clutches for years, is persuaded to at-
tend the forthcoming family gathering—part birthday party, part Extraordinary General Meet-
ing—convened by Win, Wopuld matriarch and most powerful member of the board, at Garbadale,
the family’s highland castle. Being drawn back into the bosom of the clan brings a disconcerting
confrontation with Alban’s past. What drove his mother to take her own life? And is he ready
to see Sophie, his beautiful cousin and teenage love? Grandmother Win’s revelations will rad-
ically alter Alban’s perspective forever.

wind marriage to Josh Keeler has given her a place to call home. But Niela knows how eas-
ily the past can come back to ruin your life.

A compelling, emotional roller coaster of a novel about love and forgiveness
It’s almost Christmas, but for Ali, the season of good cheer is the anniversary of her baby’s death.
As she stands at her son’s grave, she is poignantly aware of how dramatically her life has changed.
Determined to stand on her own two feet, and get through Christmas alone, Ali turns down
her ex-husband’s unexpected invitation to spend the holiday with him and his father, only to
give in to her best friend’s cajoling to share the festive season with her. The only trouble is, it
means having to be nice to Sarah’s awful husband, Trevor. Sarah may be a saint for putting up
with Trevor, but Ali is no such thing, and as his cranky behavior escalates, she takes it upon

has suddenly become a magnet for the opposite sex. And there’s little help from her sisters:
Nattie is too busy offending her long time admirer, and Polly spends most of her days with her
head in the clouds or in a book. But when news spreads in the tightly knit community that a
nearby dilapidated barn has been sold, Genevieve finds that a bittersweet trip down memory
lane is unavoidable.

The Birds
Tarjei Vesaas
A tale of delicate beauty and deceptive simplicity by one of the great-
est Scandinavian writers of the 20th century
“The careful translation from the Norwegian underscores Vesaas’s

rare sensitivity in recording Mattis’s often insightful view of his
world. . . . A literary gem.” —Publishers Weekly
“A spare, icily humane story . . . the translation conveys successfully
a concentration of style and feeling that seems to Vesaas’ character-
istic mark as a novelist.” —Sunday Times
The Birds tells the story of Mattis, who has mental disabilities and lives
in a small house near a lake with his sister Hege who ekes out a modest
living knitting sweaters. From time to time Mattie encourages her brother
to find work to ease their financial burdens, but her attempts come to noth-
ing. When finally he sets himself up as a ferryman, the only passenger he
manages to bring across the lake is a lumberjack, Jørgen. When Jørgen and
Hege become lovers, Mattis finds he cannot adjust to this new situation.
Tarjei Vesaas (1897–1970) is widely considered to be one of Norway’s
greatest writers of the 20th century and perhaps its most important since
World War II. He published several novels including The Ice Palace, sev-
eral volumes of poetry, and a book of short stories which was awarded
an international prize at Venice in 1952. He was awarded several other
prizes and was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in 1964, 1968, and 1969.

Paris, France
Gertrude Stein
A witty, anecdotal account of Stein’s lifelong love affair with France
“Fresh and sagacious.” —New Yorker

Gertrude Stein lived in Paris from 1903 with her brother Leo, acting as patron for a num-
ber of soon-to-be famous artists, most notably Pablo Picasso. Published in 1940, on the day
that Paris fell to the Germans, this account blends Stein’s childhood memories of Paris with
trenchant observations about everything French. It is a witty fricassée of food and fashion,
pets and painters, musicians, friends, and artists, served up with a healthy garnish of Steinien
humor and self-indulgence. For readers who have previously considered Gertrude Stein to
be a difficult or even unreadable author, Paris France provides a delightful window on the
personal and unique world of one of the 20th century’s most celebrated modernists.
Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) was born in Pittsburgh of a prosperous German-Jewish fam-
ily. She moved to Paris with her brother Leo, where she lived for 40 years. She is the author
of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, Tender Buttons, and Three Lives.

Anna Kavan (1901–1968) was a novelist, short story writer, and painter. Her works include
Asylum Piece, Ice, and Sleep Has His House. She has been often compared to Djuna Barnes,
Frank Kafka, Anaïs Nin, and Virginia Woolf. She was a long-term heroin addict and suf-

Orlando
Virginia Woolf
Foreword by Tilda Swinton
Afterword by Jeffrey Eugenides
An introduction by Tilda Swinton and an afterword by Jeffrey Eugenides round out this
beautifully produced edition of Virginia Woolf’s glittering and exuberant fantasy
Written for and dedicated to Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is sometimes described as the “longest
and most charming love letter in literature.” During the Elizabethan era, the young courtier
Orlando becomes a lover to the aging Queen and embarks on an intense affair with the beau-
tiful Russian Princess Sasha. Yet while Orlando can fulfill most of his desires, he never quite
seems to fit in. Then one night, Orlando falls into a deep sleep and awakes transformed, emerg-
ing as a woman in 18th-century London. Orlando must now inhabit a very different life,
dealing with matters of dress, sex, and marriage. But will she arrive in the 20th century as
an individual who has, at last, forged a place in society for herself?
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is one of the foremost innovative writers of the 20th century,
and is most famous for her novels Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. She met Vita
Sackville-West in 1922, for whom the brilliant fantasy of Orlando was written. Tilda Swin-
ton is an Academy Award–winning actress who played the title role in Sally Potter’s 1992
feature film Orlando. Her many other films include The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion,
the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Deep End; I Am Love; and Michael Clayton. Jeffrey Eu-
genides is the author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Middlesex and the acclaimed The Vir-
gin Suicides. He is on the faculty of Princeton University and lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

The Cone Gatherers

Robin Jenkins
Introduction by Seamus Heaney
An immensely powerful examination of mankind’s propensity for both good and evil, in-
spired by the author’s wartime experience as a conscientious objector doing forestry work
“This book is a sheer delight. It never flags and every page makes you want to read
the next.” —Sunday Herald
“Like all the great masters, his skill is lightly worn, his sentences singing with what he
does not say . . . he is the great old man of Scottish letters.” —Times
Calum and Neil are the cone-gatherers—two brothers at work in the forest of a large Scot-
tish estate. But the harmony of their life together is shadowed by the obsessive hatred of
Duror, the gamekeeper. Set during World War II yet removed from the destruction and blood-
shed of the war, the brothers’ oblivious happiness becomes increasingly fragile as darker
forces close in around them. Suspenseful, dark, and unforgettable, this is a towering work
of fiction, a masterpiece of modern Scottish literature.
Robin Jenkins (1912–2005) was hailed in 2000 by the Scotsman as “the greatest living fic-
tion writer in Scotland.” His first novel was published in 1951 and more than 30 works of
fiction followed, many of which have been graced with literary awards and have remained
in print for decades. Seamus Heaney is an Irish poet, writer, and lecturer. He
was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Golden Wreath of Poetry, the
T. S. Eliot Prize, and two Whitbread prizes.

let, and this new edition will allow Sherlock fans to discover, or rediscover, the power of that
classic story. This is the genre-defining work with which popular crime fiction was born. A
potent mix of serial murder, suspense, cryptic clues, red herrings, and revenge, the novel in-
troduces us to the world-famous characters of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Inspector
Lestrade and sees Sherlock and Dr. Watson meet and join forces for the first time as they track

last words of a dying woman “It was the band, the speckled band!” and an inexplicable
whistling in the night are the only clues Sherlock Holmes has to prevent another murder;

taining five orange pips lead to a cross-Atlantic conspiracy.

Tales of the Supernatural

Edgar Allan Poe
A collection of macabre tales from one of the initiators of the detective, horror, and science-
fiction genres
A murderer is forced to reveal his crime by the sound of a beating heart, a mysterious figure
wreaks havoc among a party of noblemen during the time of the plague, a grieving lover awak-
ens to find himself clutching a box of his beloved blood-stained teeth, and a man is obsessed
with the fear of being buried alive—these are only some of the memorable characters and sto-
ries included in this volume, which exemplify Poe’s inventiveness and natural talent as a sto-
ryteller. Immensely popular both during and after his lifetime, and a powerful influence on
generations of writers and filmmakers to this day, Edgar Allan Poe is still counted among the
greatest short story writers of all time.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was a poet, short story writer, and journalist, whose best-known
works include “The Raven” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.”

The Tragedy of the Korosko

Arthur Conan Doyle
A new edition of a lesser-known novel by the author of The Lost World and the Sherlock
Holmes stories
As a group of Western tourists travel down the Nile on the steamer Korosko towards the his-
torical sites near Egypt’s southern border, they are kidnapped by a marauding band of dervishes
who demand their conversion to Islam. Cut off from the world, deprived of the comforts of
civilized society, and shaken in their beliefs, they will have to overcome the most arduous ob-
stacles to regain their freedom and safety. Written toward the end of the Victorian era and per-
meated with a sense of fear and uncertainty, this story calls into question the moral authority
of Europe’s presence in the Arab peninsula and the cultural supremacy of British colonialism,
all the while demonstrating Conan Doyle’s unparalleled ability as a storyteller.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) is the celebrated author of many adventure novels, includ-
ing The Lost World and The Poison Belt, and the creator of the hugely popular detective sto-
ries of Sherlock Holmes.

The Etruscan Vase and Other Stories

Prosper Mérimée
Translated by Douglas Parmée
A unique edition for fans of the supernatural, combining one of Mérimée’s most celebrated
stories with some lesser-known pieces
When the young and sensitive Auguste Saint-Clair notices an Etruscan vase on the mantelpiece
of his beloved Mathilde, he becomes gradually consumed by jealousy at the thought that it could
be the gift of another man, and the situation escalates dramatically as he demands proof from
her that she loves only him. This classic piece of French short fiction is presented alongside three
other stories: “The Vision of Charles XI,” a dark tale of premonition set in the Swedish royal
palace; “Tamango,” an account of a slave-ship revolt; and “The Blue Room,” a supernatural
farce and one of Mérimée’s final works; as well as two nonfiction pieces: “A Hanging,” a de-
scription of a real-life public execution, and “H.B.,” a tribute to the writer Stendhal.
Prosper Mérimée (1803–1870) wrote stories and novellas that displayed his concern for his-
torical accuracy and his fascination for foreign places. Douglas Parmée (1914–2008) was an
academic and a prolific translator.

The Gambler
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Translated by Hugh Aplin
One of the most accessible and entertaining works by the author of Crime and Punish-
ment and The Karamazov Brothers
Inspired by Dostoevsky’s own gambling addiction and written under pressure in order to pay
off his creditors and retain his rights to his literary legacy, this tale is set in the casino of the
fictional German spa town of Roulettenburg and follows the misfortunes of the young tutor
Alexei Ivanovich. As he succumbs to the temptations of the roulette table, he finds himself
engaged in a battle of wills with Polina, the woman he unrequitedly loves. With an unfor-
gettable cast of gamblers and figures from European high society, this novel of greed and self-
destruction reveals Dostoevsky at his satirical and psychological best.
Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881) is considered one of the greatest writers of all time. His
works include such seminal novels as Crime and Punishment and The Karamazov Brothers.
Hugh Aplin has translated Mikhail Bulgakov’s A Dog’s Heart and The Fatal Eggs, Fyodor
Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband, and Mikhail Kuzmin’s Wings.

Poor People
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The first in a long line of underground characters, Dostoevsky’s first full-length work of fic-
tion is a poignant, tragi-comic tale that foreshadows the greatness of his later novels
Presented as a series of letters between the humble copying-clerk Devushkin and a distant
relative of his, the young Varenka, this book brings to the fore the underclass of St. Peters-
burg, who live at the margins of society in the most appalling conditions and abject poverty.
As Devushkin tries to help Varenka improve her plight by selling anything he can, he is re-
duced to even more desperate circumstances and seeks refuge in alcohol, looking on help-
lessly as the object of his impossible love is taken away from him.
Hugh Aplin has translated Mikhail Bulgakov’s A Dog’s Heart and The Fatal Eggs, Fyodor
Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband, and Mikhail Kuzmin’s Wings.

The Story of a Nobody

Anton Chekhov
Combining psychological detail with a strong sense of place and time, this tale bears all
the hallmarks of Chekhov’s genius, and perfectly captures the political and social ten-
sions of its day
A secret terrorist group infiltrates the household of a government official’s son, with a view
to spying on the father and, ultimately, assassinating him. But the young man entrusted with
the task—an ailing, world-weary “nobody”—seized with the purposelessness of life and a
sense of his own impending death, gradually becomes disillusioned with his mission, and
decides to embark on a new path which will lead him to tragedy.
Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a short story writer, but is perhaps best known for his
plays, among them The Cherry Orchard, The Seagull, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya. Hugh
Aplin has translated Mikhail Bulgakov’s A Dog’s Heart and The Fatal Eggs, Fyodor Dos-

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Leo Tolstoy
One of the most exquisitely constructed novellas by the author of War and Peace is pre-
sented alongside The Devil, a further work exploring the powerful and destructive nature
of obsession
The judge Ivan Ilyich Golovin has spent his life in the pursuit of wealth and status, devoting
himself obsessively to work and often neglecting his family in the process. When, after a small
accident, he fails to make the expected recovery, it gradually becomes clear that he is soon to
die. Ivan Ilyich then starts to question the futility and barrenness of his previous existence, re-
alizing to his horror, as he grapples with the meaning of life and death, that he is totally alone.
Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) is regarded by some as the greatest novelist of all time. With such mas-
terpieces as Anna Karenina and War and Peace, he influenced generations of writers and changed
the course of world literature. Hugh Aplin has translated Mikhail Bulgakov’s A Dog’s Heart and
The Fatal Eggs, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband, and Mikhail Kuzmin’s Wings.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Mark Twain
One of the most popular and influential American novels, charting the escapades of a 13-
year-old boy growing up on the banks of the Mississippi
Testing the patience of his Aunt Polly, the bold and sharp-witted Tom Sawyer frequently skips
school in search of excitement, and the scrapes he gets into with his friend Huckleberry Finn
range from innocent japes to more serious events such as the witnessing of a murder. Mark
Twain’s masterpiece is at the same time a highly entertaining romp which celebrates youth
and freedom and a more profound investigation of his times, touching on themes such as race,
revenge, and slavery.
Mark Twain (1835–1910) was a humorist, satirist, social critic, lecturer, and novelist, best re-
membered for his novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Oliver Twist
Charles Dickens
Both a ferocious indictment of the author’s era and a timeless coming of age story, this
classic has enthralled readers and inspired countless adaptations and imitations since it
was first published in 1838
Charles Dickens’s second novel is the tale of a young orphan who faces the grueling condi-
tions of a Victorian workhouse before finding himself sucked into the criminal underworld
of London. Teeming with unforgettable characters such as the villainous Fagin, the virtuous
Nancy, and the brutal Bill Sikes, this novel combines elements of melodrama, dark humor,
and social polemic.
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) is considered one of the English language’s greatest writers.

The Crocodile
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Translated byGuy Daniels
Inspired by Gogol’s surreal tales, Dostoevsky’s hilarious story has been interpreted by some
as a vitriolic piece of social criticism
The civil servant Ivan Matveyich and his wife Elena Ivanovna are spectators of an exhibi-
tion—in a shopping arcade—of a crocodile owned by a German, when Ivan is suddenly swal-
lowed alive by the animal. Unsuccessful in his attempts to be freed from his prison, due to
the German’s concern for his crocodile and excessive desire for compensation, the civil ser-
vant gradually comes to appreciate his new environment, while his wife begins to enjoy her
newfound freedom.
Guy Daniels published more than 40 translations, from Russian and French into English.

Death of a Civil Servant

Anton Chekhov
Translated by Guy Daniels
A short collection showing Chekhov in an amusing, playful light, poking fun at his char-
acters, with the moral detachment that also characterizes his major, serious works
In “The Death of a Civil Servant,” an administrative clerk accidentally sneezes on a hierar-
chical superior at the opera, which results in great embarrassment and hilarious and futile
attempts at atonement. The other short stories included in this volume, “A Calculated Mar-
riage,” “The Culprit,” “The Exclamation Mark,” “The Speechmaker,” “Who Is to Blame?,”
and “A Defenceless Creature” are in the same absurdly comical vein.
Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a short story writer, but is perhaps best known for his
plays, among them The Cherry Orchard, The Seagull, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya. Guy
Daniels published more than 40 translations, from Russian and French into English.

The Battle of the Books

Jonathan Swift
Swift’s satire uses a literal epic battle between books to explore the debates of his time
among authors, and between authors and critics
Inspired by Boileau’s Lutrin and illustrating the debate within European intellectual circles
between the “Ancients,” who argued that all essential knowledge was to be found in classi-
cal texts, and the “Moderns,” who claimed that contemporary learning superseded the old
sources, this work shows Swift at his wittiest and most trenchant. In this early satire, vari-
ous books in St. James’s Library take on a life of their own and come into conflict with one
another, in a pastiche of the heroic epic genre.
Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was one of the most influential political writers of his time.
He is best remembered for Gulliver’s Travels and the political satire A Modest Proposal.

Faust
Ivan Turgenev
A lesser-known novella by one of the great masters of Russian literature, now available to
English readers in a lucid translation, is presented with “Yakov Pasynkov,” another story ex-
ploring the nature of love and human relations
In a series of nine letters, the narrator tells his friend how he introduced Vera Nikolayevna, a
married woman who had been forbidden as a child to read fiction and poetry, to the intellec-
tual pleasures of Goethe’s masterpiece. Opening up in front of Vera’s eyes is not only the realm
of imagination, but also a world of unbridled feelings and tempestuous passions, which can
only shatter the comfort and safety of her existence and force her to set off on a journey of
spiritual awakening.
Ivan Turgenev (1818–1883) was a novelist, poet, and dramatist, and now ranks as one of the tow-
ering figures of Russian literature. His masterpiece, Fathers and Children, is considered one of
the greatest novels of the 19th century. Hugh Aplin has translated Mikhail Bulgakov’s A Dog’s
Heart and The Fatal Eggs, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Eternal Husband, and Mikhail Kuzmin’s Wings.

Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy
Translated by April Fitzlyon and Kyril Zinovieff
Includes photographs, a 10,000-word section on Tolstoy’s life and works, with a longer chap-
ter on Anna Karenina, anecdotes, critical perspectives, adaptations, and spin-offs
Considered to be Leo Tolstoy’s most personal novel, this resonant story scrutinizes fundamen-
tal moral and theological questions through the impassioned and tragic story of its eponymous
heroine. Desperately pursuing a good, “moral” life, standing for honesty and sincerity, Anna ex-
periences passion that drives her to adultery, flying in the face of the Russian bourgeoisie. In the
background of Anna’s tale, the aristocrat Konstantin Levin is struggling to reconcile reason with
passion, espousing a Christian anarchism that Tolstoy himself believed in. Championed by Dos-
toevsky and Nabokov, this masterpiece of Russian literature displays a poignant realism and in-
novative lyricism that makes it one of the most perfect, enduring novels of all time.
Leo Tolstoy, also the author of War and Peace, is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all
novelists. April Fitzylon was a scholar, biographer, and translator. Kyril Zinovieff is the coau-
thor of The Companion Guide to St. Petersburg.

Blaze of Noon
Rayner Heppenstall
Introduction by Gareth Buckell
Written in subtle, elegant prose, this rediscovered classic, first published in 1939, addresses
issues of psychology and perception, while pioneering avant-garde narrative techniques
When the blind narrator, the masseur Louis Dunkel, moves into the Cornwall country house
of his patient Mrs. Nance, he becomes fascinated by her niece Sophie, a haughty young woman.
Their resulting romance, however, is unsettled by the arrival of the blind, deaf, and dumb Amity
Nance. The introspective Dunkel tries to interpret and negotiate the pitfalls of a difficult and
at times hostile environment.
Rayner Heppenstall (1911–1981) was a poet, novelist, and translator who is remembered as a
forerunner of the nouveau roman and regarded as the forefather of such experimental writers
as Alain Robbe-Grillet, Angela Carter, and Anthony Burgess. Blaze of Noon is universally re-
garded as his masterpiece. Gareth Buckell is the author of Rayner Heppenstall: A Critical Study.

age of 24 and the psychological and emotional turmoil this caused him. Not only a last-
ing monument to the powers of imagination, it also represents the triumph of poetry, love,
and faith over death, and can now be fully appreciated by English readers in Anthony Mor-
timer’s stunning verse translation.
Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) is considered to be the father of Italian poetry and one of the
greatest influences in world literature. His masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is the zenith
of medieval knowledge and a paragon of poetic imagination. Its first part, Inferno, remains
one of the most popular books of all time. Anthony Mortimer is acclaimed for his trans-
lations of Petrarch and Michelangelo.

Love Poems
Erich Fried
Translated by Stuart Hood
The only available English edition of Fried’s poetry—one of the most acclaimed and pop-
ular 20th-century German language poets
“Hood’s sensitive translation accurately captures Fried’s style, his incisive, constant
questioning and his refusal to shy away from any issue.” —Times Literary Supplement
“A poetry bared to the ironic quick, to the quintessential bone.” —Guardian
Fried’s poetry holds some of the most tender lines of poetry in any language. The univer-
sal theme of humanity and the various issues that perplex the human race are central to
the reading of his poetry. A stoic who could find humor and an optimistic message in every
aspect of human life, his depth of vision and humility warms and consoles the reader. This
bilingual edition, with translations by his friend and colleague at the BBC, enables the reader
to get a flavor of the original of these immensely enjoyable and enlightening poems.
Erich Fried (1921–1988) was an Austrian poet known for his politically inspired work.
Stuart Hood is a novelist, translator, and former television producer.

Albert Camus
Solitude & Solidarity
Edited by Catherine Camus
A biography in text and pictures of the highly influential,
iconic writer, from his daughter
“Humanity’s friend, humanity’s critic: 50 years after his

death, Albert Camus’s work is more relevant than ever.”
—Tagesspiegel, Berlin
“Above all, what you can learn from Camus is attitude:
his putting up with depressing times, his resistance to
exploitation, destruction, and hatred over a long time.
This attitude is much more important today, bearing in
mind the catastrophic state of many areas such as the
economy, the arms industry, and the environment, than
it was in Camus’ time. . . . Camus could be helpful in
times when what matters is not to give up, despite a
future that seems hopeless; not to resign, but to continue
to resist.” —Günter Grass, Nobel Prize–winning author
“The morning after a great historical crisis, you feel as
sad and sick as after a heavy night. But there is no as-
pirin for historical hangovers.” —Albert Camus
“My children and grandchildren never got to know him. I
wanted to go through all the photos for their sake. To redis-
cover his laugh, his lack of pretension, his generosity, to meet
this highly observant, warm-hearted person once more, the
man who steered me along the path of life. To show, as Séver-
ine Gaspari once wrote, that Albert Camus was in essence a
‘person among people, who in the midst of them all, strove to become genuine.’” —Catherine Camus
Using selected texts, photographs, and previously unpublished documents, Catherine Camus skillfully and easily takes readers
through the fascinating life and work of her father, Albert Camus, who, in his defense of the individual, also saw himself as the
voice of the downtrodden. The winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, Albert Camus died suddenly and tragically in 1960. He
was only 46. There are rumors to this day that the Russian KGB was behind the car crash. Writer, journalist, philosopher, play-
wright, and producer, he was a shining defender of freedom, whose art and person were dedicated to serving the dignity in hu-
manity. In his tireless struggle against all forms of repression, he was a ceaseless critic of humanity’s hubris; the same struggle
can still be felt today.
Catherine Camus is the executor of her father’s estate.

Freud on Coke
David Cohen
A stimulating history covering Freud’s cocaine use, its effect on his work, the relationship
between cocaine and psychiatry, and the beginnings of the “war on drugs”
“Fascinating study.” —Mail on Sunday

“Convincingly arguing that Freud’s drug-taking had profound implications for the de-
velopment of his theories . . . a welcome addition to the bookshelves of anyone with an
interest in altered states.” —Metro
Before he’d thought of putting patients on the couch, the young Sigmund Freud did a lot of
coke, and here is the whole sordid story. Desperate to make his reputation quickly, he read
and swallowed, without question, claims made by an American pharmaceutical company, Parke-
Davis, on behalf of their new “wonder drug,” cocaine hydrochloride. He ordered a gram and
though he would claim, for years, that it was not addictive, his first taste led him to another
and another, forming a habit that would last for 15 years. Situating his cocaine experiments
in an introspective drug-using tradition that has included William James, Aldous Huxley, Have-
lock Ellis, and Timothy Leary, this book explores its influence on Freud’s later thought and
the subsequent relationship between psychology, psychiatry, drugs, and culture. It also includes
analysis of the modern cocaine trade. As even President Obama, an admitted past cocaine user himself, acknowledges the le-
gitimacy of questioning the global “War on Drugs,” this is a timely, secret history of how that war began.
David Cohen is a writer, filmmaker, and psychologist. His books include The Escape of Sigmund Freud and Psychologists on
Psychology and biographies of the therapist Carl Rogers and of John B. Watson, the founder of behaviorism. His films include
The Pleasure Principle and When Holly Went Missing.

The Exceptional Brain
And How it Changed the World
Robert M. Kaplan
Da Vinci to van Gogh, Hitler to Howard Hughes—how brain diseases and conditions
like epilepsy, syphilis, schizophrenia, and tumors have made their sufferers both famous
and infamous, and have altered the course of history
Writing in a chatty, anecdotal style, this work by a forensic psychiatrist and researcher delves
into the brain conditions that affected famous figures and celebrates the work of ground-
breaking doctors who discovered amazing things about the brain explaining, in plain Eng-
lish, exactly what they discovered. The significant historical figures covered include
Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Adolf Hitler, Jack the Ripper, Arthur Inman (the world’s
longest diarist), Vaslav Nijinsky, Woody Guthrie, and Jack Ruby. Dr. Kaplan illuminates both
the bizarre and common conditions that affected these and many more exceptional humans.
The conditions and diseases discussed include temporal lobe epilepsy, hypergraphia, mir-
ror writing, brain tumor, Parkinson’s syndrome, syphilis, schizophrenia, and obsessive com-
pulsive disorder.
Robert M. Kaplan is a forensic psychiatrist and the author of Medical Murder.

Conscious Medicine
Creating Health and Well-Being in a Conscious Universe
Gill Edwards
A revolutionary approach to health care that shows how every symptom
or illness is a wake-up call, and explains ways to free oneself from a lim-
iting past and shift one’s consciousness to achieve health and happiness
“Gill Edwards has a special gift, a unique treasure, to offer humanity,

and my soul signs its thanks to her every time I read a page of her writ-
ing.” —Neale Donald Walsch, author, Conversations with God on Step-
ping into the Magic
“Always inspiring and enlightening. Gill is a great spiritual teacher
whose wisdom lovingly and clearly illuminates the inner worlds and
everyday reality.” —William Bloom, author, Psychic Protection
Building a bridge between science and spirituality, this book explains how mind
and body are inseparable, and how emotions are crucial in health and dis-
ease. This new approach to health care is based on the latest research into
the transformative power of consciousness, energy, and the bodymind. It ex-
plains how breaking one’s old habits of thought can not only reverse disease
processes and heal injuries, but can also attract more positive events and cir-
cumstances into one’s life. This book also covers the author’s own journey
toward health, “miracles” in health and why the current medical model is lim-
iting, how negative thoughts activate the stress response in the body which
eventually makes one ill, how the body speaks symbolically through symp-
toms and illness, and how to break free from limiting patterns and create a
healthful future. Always thought-provoking and inspiring, this is an accessi-
ble, practical, and joyous book.
Gill Edwards is a psychologist who has been involved in mind-body medicine
for 30 years, runs workshops on conscious medicine, and is the author of Life
Is a Gift, Pure Bliss, Stepping into the Magic, and Wild Love.

Beating Chronic Fatigue
Your Step-by-step Guide to Complete Recovery
Dr. Kristina Downing-Orr
A much-needed book on how to treat extreme tiredness, based on the author’s own expe-
rience of severe chronic fatigue and her pioneering research to develop a successful treat-
ment program
“Most helpful are Downing-Orr’s insistence on validating CFS as a bona fide condition
that has been ignored, belittled, and misdiagnosed, and advice on developing resilience,
dealing with relapses, and defusing tense relationships that can result from chronic ill-
ness.” —Publishers Weekly
A clinical psychologist who found herself struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
explains the causes of CFS and offers an accessible, scientifically valid, easy-to-achieve pro-
gram that will inspire those afflicted to regain their health and restore their energy and vital-
ity. CFS is a common yet debilitating condition that can last for many years, in which every
waking moment becomes a physical, emotional, and cognitive struggle just to function on the
most basic of levels. The author suffered severe symptoms and was compelled to research the
cause of CFS and cure herself because she was offered so little help by the medical profession.
Her recovery was quick and lasting. Chapters cover her own story, what chronic fatigue re-
ally is, what causes it, diagnosis, a step-by-step self-treatment program, how to strengthen the
body, coping with stress, and helpful resources.
Dr. Kristina Downing-Orr is a clinical psychologist, research psychologist, and former sufferer
of chronic fatigue. Her previous books include Get the Life You Want!

Awakening
A Practical Guide to Zen Meditation
Yogi Brahmasamhara
A guided journey into authentic mediation—too often surrounded by myth and unwar-
ranted mysticism—for novices and experienced meditators alike
There are many books on meditation, even books on how to speed up the process and learn
to meditate in 15 minutes—the opposite of what meditation is trying to achieve. Here, Yogi
Brahmasamhara teaches the reader ways of letting go of the barriers of the “ordinary,” to
enable all who practice to unveil an awakened, naturally exhilarating engagement with life.
This is a book that teaches true meditation comprehensively. There are exercises on letting
go of tension, natural breathing, and stilling the mind. The author enables the practicing
seeker to go far beyond these core essences to a quite profound understanding of the wis-
dom of authentic meditation, and to a serene space of tranquility and stillness of being.
Written in a warm, gentle manner, this is a book to read and reread.
Yoga Brahmasamhara is a meditation master who has practiced authentic meditation for
more than 37 years.

Soulmate Relationships
How to Find, Keep and Understand Your Perfect Partner
Tara Springett
A guide on finding and keeping a relationship that will bring immense happiness, or im-
proving one’s current relationship
This book explains the dynamics between men and women in love and provides simple guide-
lines and exercises to help readers recognize relationship patterns that will lead them to the
perfect partner for life. This book shows how “soul mate” (as opposed to “ordinary”) rela-
tionships between the sexes work, reveals how recognizing the fundamental differences be-
tween male and female psychologies can enhance romance and eroticism between partners,
and explains how sex can be used to merge in a loving and spiritual way with one’s partner.
Drawing from a unique blend of sources, from Buddhist and Taoist teachings to the latest
findings of systemic and family therapy, this is a fully realized guide to complete harmony
and happiness in relationships.
Tara Springett is a Buddhist therapist and teacher, a psychotherapist, and the author of The
Five-Minute Miracle.

Couples
How We Make Love Last
Kate Figes
An intelligent, thoughtful look at the ways people make couplehood work in a time of un-
precedented expectations of romance, commitment, equality, fidelity, and happiness ever after
“Figes is a dedicated researcher and a compelling writer and this is a very good book—
the most comprehensive summary we currently have of the changing nature of relation-
ships.” —Observer
“Kate Figes leads us on a journey through an often rocky romantic terrain, taking in ro-
mance, sex, arguments, and power play, children, family, and ageing, meticulously dis-
mantling the myths of marriage.” —Sunday Telegraph
Historically speaking, people currently enjoy unrivaled freedom when it comes to choosing a
relationship, yet new levels of uncertainty coupled with new myths about how to live and love
can compromise potential coupled happiness. Kate Figes argues that, whether married or co-
habiting, gay or straight, remarried or a couple living apart, the quality of one’s intimate re-
lationship is fundamental to long-term health and happiness, because the human need for
commitment and love has not changed. She set out to find out how people make it work by
interviewing 120 people from diverse backgrounds, as well as surveying couplehood-related academic literature. This book of-
fers no universal recipes for success, but learning how others sustain lifelong love and what really goes on in other people’s lives
can help readers to understand their own partnerships and take responsibility for making them work. This is an incisive and
important look at how to make love endure.

Freedom from Toxic Relationships

Moving on from the Family, Work and Relationship Issues that Bring You Down
Avril Carruthers
A guide to the tools needed to leave painful, destructive relationships behind, both at
home and at work, with dozens of helpful case histories
Starting with details of how to recognize the manipulative or sweetly corrosive partner, the
family dynamics that make Christmas and other get-togethers hell, and the nightmare boss,
this book teaches readers what they can do to leave painful, destructive relationship pat-
terns behind. Toxic relationships come in many guises, which can make them hard to iden-
tify. This guide explains that often they don’t entail physical violence so much as a slow
erosion of self-esteem, a loss of personal identity, or a growing desire to please friends, part-
ners, family members, and others who are impossible to please. Many toxic relationships
begin early in childhood, or as people start to form their own personal relationships, and
even when they find the courage to move on, if the fallout from these relationships is not
dealt with, they may end up attracting more of the same. This book teaches how to observe
these patterns in relationships, making it possible to truly move on.
Avril Carruthers is a transpersonal psychotherapist who has been in practice for more than
20 years and the author of Let Your Past Go and Live.

The History of NME

Pat Long
The Sex Pistols sang about it, Nick Hornby claims he regrets not working for it. The
fights, the bands, the brawls, the haircuts, the egos, and much more—the definitive book
about the infamous music magazine.
For 60 years, since it was founded in 1952, the New Musical Express (NME) has played a
central part in the British love affair with pop music—and has been essential for American
connoisseurs to remain in-the-know as well. This authoritative history is an insider’s ac-
count of the high times and low lives of one of the world’s most influential music maga-
zines. It explains the stories behind the stories that kept readers coming back week after
week—the office brawls, the former staffers who launched their careers there (Tony Par-
sons, Julie Burchill, Nick Kent, Mick Farren, Steve Lamacq, and Stuart Maconie), and the
bands who owe their success to the magazine. Snotty, confrontational, enthusiastic, and sar-
castic: the new issue of the NME was the high point of any music fan’s week, whether they
were listening to the Beatles, Bowie, or Blur.
Pat Long was an assistant editor at NME during the late 1990s. He is now a freelance music
journalist who has written for, among others, the Guardian, Kerrang!, and Mojo.

John Paul George Ringo & Me
The Real Beatles Story
Tony Barrow
A unique and vividly personal, firsthand account by a Liverpool-born author who
knew John, Paul, George, and Ringo as friends throughout the height of their fame
“A raucous re-telling of the Beatlemania years . . . Barrow’s swift telling and

catchy prose makes for an addictive read that still manages a few surprises.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Genuinely takes the reader deep into the band’s world.” —Q magazine
As the Beatles’ press officer, the author worked within the group’s closest circle for
six breakneck years during the Beatlemania era of the 1960s. Few were closer to the
Beatles than Tony Barrow, and here, for the first time, he holds a mirror up to the
Fab Four and offers his own insider’s perspective on that four-way dynamic that
spawned the greatest pop group the world has ever seen. From the Beatles’ historic
house party with Elvis Presley at his Bel Air home in the Hollywood Hills, to the
very private scene of John’s tearful backstage preparation for the emotional press
conference following the “We’re more popular then Jesus” furor, he puts the reader
in the picture, offering an unvarnished take from someone who was there.
Tony Barrow, who coined the phrase “the Fab Four” and whose sleeve notes adorned some of the Beatles’ biggest-selling al-
bums, was the band’s press officer from 1962–1968. He is the only surviving professional writer who witnessed Beatlemania
from the inside.

My Life with the Greatest Rock Band of the 20th Century
Peter Hince
An intimate and affectionate insider’s story of his years spent alongside Queen,
with exclusive personal photos
For more than a decade, Peter Hince worked alongside one of the greatest bands in
the history of rock, touring the world and heading up their road crew as they per-
formed at some of the best and biggest music venues in the world. Here he recalls
the highlights of those years with the band. He was with Freddie Mercury when he
composed “Crazy Little Thing Called Love;” he was responsible for making sure that
Freddie’s stage performances went without a hitch; and he was often there to wit-
ness Freddie’s famed tantrums. He was also party to the sex, drugs, and rock and
roll which are invariably part of life on the road with a rock band. Many books
have been written about Queen and Freddie Mercury, but this is the first real in-
sider’s story. Packed with the author’s own exclusive photos, including never-before-
seen shots of Freddie, his female lover Mary, and other band members, this warm
and witty book will entertain and inform as a must-read for any music fan.
Peter Hince met Queen in 1973 when they were opening for Mott the Hoople, began
working for the band full time during their 1975 A Night at the Opera album, and
stayed on as the head of their road crew until their final concert in 1986. He is cur-
rently a professional photographer.

“Good luck trying not to root for them.” —Rolling Stone

Tony McCarroll joined Oasis when they were still a band called the Rain. What started as
five young men with a common dream of becoming rock stars eventually disintegrated into

nitely Maybe, things came to a head and Tony left the band. Here, Tony reveals the truth about
the early years before the band was formed. He discusses the drug consumption, the sexual
activities, his much-publicized rift with Noel Gallagher, and how he was duped into signing
a less-than-favorable record contract. His recollections include stories involving David Beck-
ham, Prince, Eric Cantona, and John McEnroe. Witty, revealing, and fascinating, this book is
a must-read for Oasis fans.

Adele
The Biography
Chas Newkey-Burden
The compelling life story of the Grammy–winning soul singer
Adele’s soulful voice, catchy hits, and vulnerable personality have won her critical acclaim
and huge popularity. She has topped the charts in 18 countries—but who is she? What is
the truth of the tempestuous life that has so influenced her heartbreaking tracks? How did
she overcome the challenges that threatened to derail her career? This compelling book
traces her story from her childhood in London, where she began singing at the age of four.
During her teenage years she wrote her own music and attended the BRIT school, along-
side the likes of Leona Lewis. After posting demos on the MySpace website she earned a
record deal and quickly captured hearts. Adele remains an unlikely icon. Her looks are un-
usual in a formulaic world of celebrity image, she suffers badly with prestage nerves, and
she once canceled a crucial promotional trip to the U.S. because she felt too down to travel.
This is a full, unflinching portrait of a genuine talent and inspiring, uncompromising
woman—the curvy girl-next-door who conquered the world.

Rihanna
The Only Girl in the World
Sarah Oliver
From publicly turbulent times with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, through to success as the new
queen of R&B, the first biography of the singer who is, to her fans, the Only Girl in the World
Award-winning artist and indisputable queen of R&B Rihanna is one of the most recogniza-
ble and successful singers in the world, and this is her story. With hits such as “Umbrella,”
“Take a Bow,” and “Don’t Stop the Music,” the beautiful Barbadian has gone from a talented
young singer from a broken home to a bestselling and Grammy Award–winning superstar. Robyn
Rihanna Fenty was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, in 1988, and moved to the United States
at the tender age of 16, where she became the youngest-ever musician to sign for Def Jam records
after sending her demo to the then company head, Jay-Z. Her debut single “Pon de Replay”
went to Number 2 on the U.S. single charts, with her subsequent album Music of the Sun be-
coming a global bestseller. Following the success of her debut, Rihanna went straight back into
the studio to record her follow-up album with renowned R&B producer and singer Ne-Yo. A
Girl Like Me went platinum and the lead single “SOS” became her biggest selling of her ca-
reer. A live tour followed and her next three platinum-selling albums, Good Girl Gone Bad, Rated R, and Loud, confirmed Ri-
hanna as one of the most exciting and successful artists on the planet.
Sarah Oliver is the author of Justin Bieber A–Z, Miley Cyrus A–Z, Robert Pattinson A–Z, and Taylor Lautner A–Z.

Miss Shirley Bassey
John L. Williams
From “Hot from Harlem” to Goldfinger, the story of how a two-bit jazz singer from Cardiff,
Wales became an immortal icon
“Fascinating.” —Independent
“Effective and insightful . . . lovely details abound.” —Guardian
In 1954, Shirley Bassey was 17 years old and had just returned from a cheesy revue tour
called “Hot from Harlem.” Depressed, disillusioned, and four months pregnant, she decided
that her dream of being a professional singer was over—but a mere 10 years later, she was
one of the biggest stars in the world. This book explores this remarkable transformation,
both of an individual and of the British society and British psyche that made it possible.
From the vibrant, multicultural oasis of Tiger Bay in the Cardiff docklands through the club-
lands of Soho and Las Vegas to New York’s Carnegie Hall, it is a journey from mere mor-
tal to international icon. This biography draws on original research and interviews to provide
a portrait of a young woman on the cusp of stardom, whose rise to fame was in many ways
symbolic of a changing world. It’s the story of a woman who set out to be extraordinary
and—against all the odds—succeeded.
John L. Williams is a mystery author. He currently writes for the Mail on Sunday, having worked
for the Independent, NME, Sunday Times, and as contributing editor of GQ magazine.

Reflections on an Unexpected Journey
The Priests
The wonderfully talented singers known as the Priests draw upon their unique experi-
ences as priests and performers, their love of music, and their faith, as they weave to-
gether a rich, illuminating tapestry of spiritual wisdom
The Priests have taken the music world by storm. Since they signed their Sony contract in
front of Westminster Cathedral in April 2008, their debut album has sold almost two mil-
lion copies worldwide. It was produced by Mike Hedges, who has worked with U2 and Manic
Street Preachers, and was the topic of a PBS special. This book discusses how their gruel-
ing promotional schedule for the album may have taken them around the world—from Eu-
rope to Montreal, from New York to Sydney, they have always been happy to return to their
parishes in Belfast and the people they serve. Insightful and engaging, it is a treasury of mem-
ories which offers readers a rare and timely opportunity to reflect on their own journeys
through life.
The Priests are Father Eugene O’Hagan, Father Martin O’Hagan, and Father David De-
largy; Catholic priests from Northern Ireland and musical artists.

lead people to believe in the existence of souls . . . both serious and entertaining.”
—Susan Blackmore, author, Consciousness: A Very Short Introduction
“A look at the ultimately important questions of life that is itself wonderfully alive: you
may not agree, but you will never be bored.” —Iain McGilchrist, author, The Master
and His Emissary
Hymn singing in the suburbs and ecstatic drumming in the African night, speaking in tongues
and UFOs, chariots of fire, and pierced Messiahs—what do these things tell us about faith
and what it means to be human? Human religious experiences are remarkably uniform; many
can be pharmacologically induced. Recent research into the neurology of religious experience
has shown that, when worshipping or praying, a certain part of the brain, apparently dor-
mant during other activities, becomes active. This fascinating book takes a survey of the ev-
idence—from shamans to medieval mystics, to out-of-body experiences and epilepsy, via
Jerusalem and middle-class Christianity—and assesses its significance.
Charles Foster teaches medical law and ethics. He is the author of The Jesus Inquest and The Sacred Journey.

The Philosopher and the Gospels
Jesus Through the Lens of Philosophy
Keith Ward
The teachings of Jesus examined by one of the leading philosophers of our day
The teachings of Jesus Christ, as presented in the Bible, are familiar to millions, but do we
really understand them? Keith Ward argues that, by scrutinizing the Gospels through the lens
of contemporary philosophy, we can discover perspectives that are not always apparent in
traditional church teaching. Ward’s analysis of what Jesus really said uncovers four central
themes: that the Gospel is for everyone; that the Second Coming will lead to a future in a
spiritual realm, not a physical world; that Jesus presents a moral ideal for life rather than a
literal set of rules; and that God is expressed initially through the incarnation of Jesus, but
ultimately through the whole of creation.
Keith Ward is known as one of Britain’s foremost philosopher–theologians. He is the author
of more than 20 books including The Big Questions of Science and Religion, Is Religion Ir-
rational?, and Why There Is Almost Certainly a God.

The Story of Christianity

An Illustrated History of 2000 Years of the Christian Faith
David Bentley Hart
A distinguished theologian presents a beautifully illustrated history of 2,000 years
of the Christian faith
“David Hart is one of America’s sharpest minds, and this is Hart in full, all
guns firing and the band playing on the deck.” —George Weigel, author,
Witness to Hope
“An eloquent and persuasive stance.” —Publishers Weekly on The Doors of the Sea
Presented in 50 short chapters, each focusing on a critical facet of Christian history
or theology, and each amplified by timelines, quotations, and color images, this mag-
isterial account does full justice to the range of Christian tradition, belief, and prac-
tice—Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Evangelical, Coptic,
Chaldean, Ethiopian Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, and Malankaran, to name but
a few of the many possibilities. From the persecutions of the early church to the papal–
imperial conflicts of the Middle Ages, from the religious wars of 16th- and 17th- cen-
tury Europe to the challenges of science and secularism in the modern era, and from
the ancient Christian communities of Africa and Asia to the “house churches” of contemporary China, this sequence of essays
focusing on critical “moments” in the religion triumphantly captures the heterogeneous richness of Christian history.
David Bentley Hart is an Orthodox theologian who has taught at the University of Virginia, the University of St. Thomas in St.
Paul, Duke Divinity School, and Loyola College in Baltimore. His books include Atheist Delusions, The Beauty of the Infinite,
and The Doors of the Sea. He has been published in First Things, Modern Theology, the New Atlantis, and the Wall Street Jour-
nal. He lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Confessions of an Advertising Man
David Ogilvy
Foreword by Sir Alan Parker
A new edition of the timeless business classic featured on Mad Men—
as fresh and relevant now as the day it was written
“Ogilvy is the creative force of modern advertising.”
—New York Times
“Required reading for anyone in business.” —Media Week
Selected by Fast Company Magazine as one of their Leader-
ship Hall of Fame titles for Best Business Autobiography
“We admire people who work hard, who are objective and thorough.
We detest office politicians, toadies, bullies and pompous asses. We abhor
ruthlessness. The way up our ladder is open to everybody. In promot-
ing people to top jobs, we are influenced as much by their character as
anything else.” —David Ogilvy
David Ogilvy was considered the “father of advertising” and a creative
genius by many of the biggest global brands. First published in 1963,
this seminal book revolutionized the world of advertising and became
a bible for the 1960s ad generation. It also became an international best-
seller, translated into 14 languages. Fizzing with Ogilvy’s pioneering ideas
and inspirational philosophy, it covers not only advertising, but also peo-
ple management, corporate ethics, and office politics, and forms an es-
sential blueprint for good practice in business.
David Ogilvy (1911–1999), referred to in 1962 by Time as “the most
sought-after wizard in today’s advertising industry,” is considered to have
been one of the dominant thinkers in the field. He is also the author of
Ogilvy on Advertising. Sir Alan Parker was a copywriter in the 1960s and
1970s, and is now a film director and producer. His directed films include
Angela’s Ashes, Fame, Midnight Express, and Pink Floyd: The Wall.

Leadership Beyond Good Intentions

What It Takes to Really Make a Difference
Geoff Aigner
Foreword by Lama Ole Nydahl
An experienced leader and trainer explains how managers and leaders can find com-
passionate ways of facilitating change in their organizations
“Connects the inner journey of leadership with the external realities in a readable,
useful, practical guide for anyone leading change.” —Ron Heifetz and Marty Linsky,
coauthors, Leadership on the Line
Drawing on deep experience of developing leaders from a wide range of public sector, pri-
vate sector, community, and nongovernment organizations; as well as on Buddhist princi-
ples; Geoff Aigner identifies the inner tensions and work involved in making change. Offering
an alternative to typical hard-line approaches to leadership, he challenges common assumptions
leaders make about themselves and their motivations, and offers strategies to develop fresh,
effective, and truly compassionate ways of pursuing change. He explains that for leaders,
good intentions are not enough—when despite your best efforts you run into obstacles and
resistance, the temptation is to see the challenges as lying outside ourselves, to grasp at a
model or a tool, or to find other people slow to get the point. Aigner reveals here that the
real challenge we face is often ourselves.
Geoff Aigner teaches social leadership. Lama Ole Nydahl is a cofounder and leader of Di-
amond Way Buddhism, which has approximately 600 centers worldwide, including 40 in
the U.S. He is the author of nine books, including Entering the Diamond Way, Riding the
Tiger, and The Way Things Are.

What Works
What It Takes to Succeed in a Competitive Global Marketplace
Hamish McRae
In a lively and counterintuitive exploration of success stories from across
the globe, an award-winning journalist takes the reader on a fascinating
journey in pursuit of the flimsy difference between triumph and failure
“Optimistic yet realistic, humane yet incisive, [this] inspiring and

wide-ranging book is essential reading for anyone who wants to under-
stand what works, what doesn’t, and why.” —Tim Harford, author,
The Undercover Economist
“Each case study is lean and precisely crafted. . . . McRae deserves
credit for writing a can-do anthology in defeatist times.” —Observer
“Broad, accessible, and colorful . . . seeing the markers of success as
far more than balance sheets and statistics. It’s good to have a book
that shows faith in people.” —Independent on Sunday
Drawing life lessons from the great ideas put to work on every continent—
from America to Europe, from Africa to Asia and Australasia—these stories
are as surprising as they are inspiring. This book explores such questions as
Why do some initiatives take off while others flounder? How have some com-
munities managed to achieve so much while others struggle? What distin-
guishes the good companies from the bad? What lessons can we learn from
the surprisingly well-ordered Mumbai community made famous by Slum-
dog Millionaire? Why have Canadian manners helped Whistler become the
most popular ski resort in North America? How has Zurich developed the
world’s most admired antidrug policies? And how has Hong Kong used gam-
bling profits to help its residents enjoy the greatest level of economic free-
dom on the planet? Readers will be entertained, informed, and enlightened
as to how to achieve successes of in their businesses, communities, and lives.
Hamish McRae is an economic journalist and one of Europe’s leading lecturers about the global economy and its impact on busi-
ness conditions and practices. A principal commentator for the Independent and the Independent on Sunday, and associate edi-
tor of the Independent, he is the author of The World in 2020, which has been translated into more than a dozen languages. He

Spills and Spin
The Inside Story of BP
Tom Bergin
A gripping and eye-opening account of a corporation in crisis, setting
the spill in its broader context within the history of BP and big oil
“Bergin, a highly regarded oil industry reporter, has provided the

best assessment yet of how the accident was rooted in the nature of
BP, the most swashbuckling of the oil giants. . . . There are lessons
here about how to prevent a crisis—and handle one—that anyone in
business would do well to take in.” —Financial Times
“Of all the accounts so far, Reuters oil writer Tom Bergin provides
the most compelling look at how BP found itself with President
Barack Obama’s boot on its throat and two-thirds of its market
value evaporating.” —Daily Telegraph
“If you want to know why BP got itself into such a mess before and
after Deepwater Horizon, Spills and Spin is an excellent and reliable
account.” —Sunday Times
In April 2010, the world watched in alarm as BP’s Macondo well suffered
a fatal explosion and a catastrophic leak. Over the next three months,
amid tense scenes of corporate and political finger-pointing, millions of
barrels of crude oil dispersed across the Gulf of Mexico in what became
one of the worst oil spills in history. But there is more to BP’s story than
this. Tom Bergin, an oil broker turned Reuters reporter, watched the “two-
pipeline company” of the early 1980s grow into a dynamic oil giant and
PR machine by the turn of the 21st century. His unique access to key fig-
ures within BP, including former CEO Tony Hayward, has enabled him
to piece together the story of a corporation in crisis. He takes readers back
nearly 30 years to explain how a company that was almost destroyed by privatization and the oil-price crash of the late 1980s
was able to transform itself into the industry’s most dynamic player, and most sophisticated PR machine, by the turn of the 21st
century. At the same time, he examines how crucial decisions made during this remarkable turnaround period paved the way
for BP’s darkest hour.
Tom Bergin is a former oil broker and a journalist who has reported on the energy industry for more than 12 years. For the
past seven years he has headed Reuters’s coverage of the oil industry in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and his work has
been published in the Globe and Mail, International Herald Tribune, the New York Times, the Shanghai Daily, the Times, and
the Wall Street Journal. He is a regular television and radio commentator, appearing on BBC, CNBC, and ITV.

Excerpt:
From the Bankston, Landry saw a green flash, a fireball, and a wave of debris flying toward him. Only 40 feet from the
rig, he could also feel the shock wave. Beside him, Paul Erickson began to shout, “Fire! Fire! Fire on the rig!” and made
for the alarm. Landry picked up the internal radio and ordered his men below to disconnect the mud hose immediately.
Landry revved the engines and pushed back. When he got to a distance of 100 metres, he saw Deepwater Horizon go
dark. It had lost power, although he could still hear its distress signals over the radio. The Bankston’s satellite phone
wasn’t working—coverage was unreliable in this area—and so Landry dispatched an e-mail to BP alerting them to the
explosion. Meanwihle, secondary explosions began to rock the Horizon, turning the rig into one large fireball. Landry
saw workers jump into the sea to escape the flames.
Below deck on the Bankston, engine room assistant Louis Longlois and chief engineer Anthony Gervasio were already
preparing the fast recovery craft. Once the vessel had reached its 500-metre holding point, Landry ordered the small
craft into the water to pick up the men floundering in the Gulf.
Over the coming hours, 115 men were recovered from lifeboats and life rafts and plucked from the burning water around
the rig. It was a heroic achievement on the part of the Bankston’s crew, but the head-count was 11 fewer than had been
on the rig before the blast.
Deepwater Horizon burned for another two days before sinking 5,000 feet to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, in the
process unleashing the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

London Unfurled
Matteo Pericoli
From the author of the wonderfully unique Manhattan Unfurled comes an equally elegant, heartfelt, and unprecedented por-
trait of London
“Pericoli’s drawing is at once monumental and gentle.” —New Yorker on Manhattan Unfurled
“Artist Matteo Pericoli has captured this concrete chameleon beautifully. . . . Part coffee-table sketchbook, part painstak-
ing exercise in artistic patience, Pericoli’s foldout book is a doodling daydream . . . it gives you goosebumps.”
—Entertainment Weekly on Manhattan Unfurled
Includes a key to the locations noted in the book
Divided and united by its river, London is one of few cities in the world to find its essence in two profoundly different, yet nearly
touching, urban characters—meaning that the Thames provides the perfect vantage point for telling a comprehensive story of
this complex city. Arriving with little previous knowledge of London, Matteo Pericoli made an intensive 20-mile journey along
the Thames, from Hammersmith Bridge to the Millennium Dome and back again. More than two years later, he has completed
an astonishing document of his journey: two 37-foot-long pen-and-ink drawings depicting the city’s north and south banks.
Each drawing—presented on either side of this beautiful single-sheet accordion-style book—is rendered with loving and essay-
like detail, revealing a distinct profile of London in all of its diversity: a dozen boroughs, 19 bridges, and hundreds of build-
ings, including the Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern, Battersea Power Station, and Millennium Wheel. Pericoli’s inimitable
drawings, constantly complementing and questioning each other, brought him to a better understanding of London. Both life-
long residents and those who have never visited will find that this breathtaking work of art deepens their thoughts and renews
their fascination with one of the world’s most impressive cities.
Matteo Pericoli is best known for his illustrated books of New York, where he lived from 1995 to 2008, such as The City Out
My Window, Manhattan Unfurled, and World Unfurled. He has been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning and Fresh Air; his work
is published regularly in the New York Times; and he has also been published in Harper’s, the New Yorker, Sports Illustrated,
and Vanity Fair. His other projects have included cover artwork for Colum McCann’s Let the Great World Spin, cover artwork
for the Beastie Boys’ To the 5 Boroughs, and a 397-foot-long panoramic mural at John F. Kennedy Airport.

Five British Nurses on the American Road Trip of a Lifetime
Barbara Fox and Gwenda Gofton
A charming and nostalgic true story of three British nurses who road trip across Amer-
ica in the 1950s, written by one of their daughters
In my dreams, I was always in some vast landscape on a long, straight road. Driving. Al-
ways driving.
Gwenda had always loved the open road, but her hometown of Newcastle didn’t really offer
the sort of adventure she longed for. So, in 1957, with friend and fellow nurse Pat in tow,
she left the dismal British winter behind, and embarked on an amazing American adven-
ture. After a year nursing in Cleveland, Gwenda, Pat, and three new friends set off on a
road trip around North America, driving in a rickety 1949 Ford. What follows is the charm-
ing true story of five remarkable young women. Over the course of 18 months, the girls go
to a Fourth of July rodeo, visit San Francisco and Las Vegas, learn to surf in Hawaii, spot
movie stars in Hollywood, and celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Wherever they go,
the traveling nurses cause a sensation. This is a delightfully nostalgic memoir of friendship
and the romance of the open road.
Barbara Fox is the daughter of Gwenda Gofton and a freelance journalist.

The Mango Orchard
The Extraordinary True Story of a Family Lost and Found
Robin Bayley
The extraordinary story of parallel journeys, 100 years apart, into the
heart of Latin America, for fans of Sandra Cisneros’s Caramelo, Tim
Butcher’s Blood River, and Bruce Chatwin
“Bayley unpicks the story of his ancestor’s adventures with much

skill and persistence. He has a fine ear for dialogue with a Tarantino-
style, comic-book delivery, and the ending . . . is genuinely affecting.”
—Independent
“Sharply observed, very funny, and infused with the longings and
possibilities of the road, it’s a succulent tale.” —Wanderlust
As a child, Robin Bayley was enchanted by his grandmother’s stories of
Mexican adventures—of bandits, wild jungle journeys, hidden bags of sil-
ver, and a narrow escape from the bloody Mexican Revolution. But Robin
sensed there was more to these stories than anyone knew, and so he set
out to follow in the footsteps of his great-grandfather. Undaunted by the
passage of time and a paucity of information, Robin seeks out the places
where his great-grandfather Arthur “Arturo” Greenhalgh traveled and lived,
determined to uncover his legacy. Along the road Robin encounters witches,
drug dealers, a gun-toting Tasmanian Devil, and an ex-Nazi diamond trader.
He is threatened with deportation, offered the protection of Colombian
guerrilla fighters, and comforted by the blessings of los santos. He falls in
love with a beautiful Guatemalan girl with mystical powers and almost
gives up his quest, until a sense of destiny drives him on to western Mex-
ico and the discovery of much, much more than he had bargained for.
Robin Bayley is a full-time writer.

Excerpt:
“Are you heading down south?” he asked me.
“I’m going to Bogotá to meet someone, then I fly north to Mexico. My great-grandfather lived there.”
“And you are retracing his footsteps?”
“Yes.”
I must have looked surprised because he said, “I have done that too. If I want to get close to someone who’s gone, I go to
where they’ve been. I used to go to places my mother loved when she was alive, but I don’t do it any more.”
“Too painful?” I asked, as a juggernaut passed, its headlights dazzling us through the bus window.
“No, she comes to find me.”
“How?”
Pedro smiled. “She was special, my mother. She was a doctor, but she was also a bruja—a witch.” Another one. “She could
communicate with her friends all over the country, just like anyone else, I suppose, except she didn’t have to use a tele-
phone. She was telepathic.”
“How does she . . . get in touch?”
“She sends her friends to talk to me. They find me and warn me of something if I’m in any danger, or if I’m going down
the wrong path.”
I wanted to tell him I could do with that kind of help, bearing in mind I didn’t know where my great-grandfather had lived.
As if he had his mother’s telepathic powers, he said, “Something will guide you when the time is right.” I didn’t question what
he said. I had to believe that I’d get a helping hand from someone, or something, if I was going to find anything in Mexico.

The Villa Diana
Travels in Post-War Italy
Alan Moorehead
Originally written in 1951, a post-World War II journey through Italy
“Full of wit, drama, entertainment, and fascinating insights from an author with a keen
eye . . . is still as fresh and accurate today. Highly recommended.” —Italian magazine
“Engagingly written; an enchanting view of Italy from the Villa Diana.” —Publishing News
Above Florence and the valley of the Arno stood the Villa Diana, in one of the oldest inhab-
ited parts of Italy, at the end of an old Etruscan road that wound among olive groves and
lines of cypresses. The home of Poliziano in the 15th century, it had been occupied by the troops
of seven different armies during World War II but otherwise escaped damage, if one overlooked
the looting of the grand piano. It was here that Alan Moorehead, known as one of the great-
est correspondents of that war, moved in 1948 to travel through Italy and write this celebrated
book. His experiences illustrate the issues of the day, yet surrounded as always by extreme
physical beauty and governed by the rhythms of the seasons. He describes with wit such di-
verse matters as the daily drama of life among the servants, the reviving fortunes of Portofino,
the 500-year-old horse race around the main square of Siena, the gondoliers’ union in Venice,
and a traffic clash between a family of pigs and a cart full of crucifixes.
Alan Moorehead (1910–1983) was born in Melbourne and came to England at the age of 25, making a worldwide reputation
as a journalist and war correspondent. After the war, he traveled constantly and wrote a series of vivid reconstructions of his-
torical events.

Victor Canning
Recollected observations of England between World War I and II
“Wonderful . . . elegant, humorous, exuberant essays about random destinations.”

“Pin-sharp evocations of England . . . he sees into the heart of things.” —Times
In this series of pen-portraits of England, commissioned by the Daily Mail in the 1930s, the
pattern and color of the “great fabric of English life” from Cumberland to Cornwall is vividly
conjured. The heartwarming, humorous, and often irreverent observations of sleepy villages,
pastoral scenes, and busy industries provide a delightful insight into life between the wars.
Victor Canning is best known as a thriller writer who wrote more than 60 books.

Are We Nearly There Yet?
A Family’s 8,000-Mile Car Journey Around Britain
Ben Hatch
The story of a madcap five-month family trip to write a travel guide—embracing the free-
dom of the open road with a spirit of discovery and an industrial supply of baby wipes
“A wonderful book—hilarious, cringeworthy, and moving, all at the same time. Highly
recommended for anyone with a family, a car, or a sense of humor.”
—Sophie Kinsella, author, Confessions of a Shopaholic
“Refreshing, insightful, very funny.” —Joanne Harris, author, Chocolat
“Hatch humorously recounts the epic tale of his 8,000-mile odyssey round Britain in a
Vauxhall Astra with his wife and children.” —Times
“Hurry up,” I shout at Dinah, whilst on the overhead telly Ray Mears’ Survival is playing
extraordinarily loudly because Charlie sat on the volume button of the remote. The kids
writhe about in the V05 shampoo they just spilt, laughing as the last of their clean clothes
bite the dust, and I’m thinking: “Survive driving round England with two under 4s, stay-
ing at a different hotel each night and visiting four or five attractions a day and sometimes
a restaurant in the evening. Sleep all in the same room, go to bed at 7 p.m. after having had
no evening to yourself, wake up at 7 a.m. and do it all again the next day with the prospect of another 140 nights of the same—
then come and tell me about survival in your khaki ****ing shorts, Ray.”
They were bored, broke, burned out, and turning 40. So when Ben and his wife Dinah were approached to write a guidebook
about family travel, they embraced the open road, ignoring friends’ warnings: “One of you will come back chopped up in a bin
bag in the roof box.” Featuring deadly puff adders, Billie Piper’s pajamas, and a friend of Hitler’s, it’s a story about love, death,
falling out, moving on, and growing up, and 8,000 misguided miles in a Vauxhall Astra.
Ben Hatch is the author of Frommer’s Britain for Free, Frommer’s England with Your Family, and Scotland with Your Family.

One Steppe Beyond

Across Russia in a VW Camper
Thom Wheeler
Traveling across the former Soviet Union is a challenge at the best of times—doing so in
a dilapidated VW is just that much more of an adventure
“A crazy and wonderful journey. For anyone who has day dreamed, if only for a mo-
ment, about abandoning the humdrum and hitting the road this engaging tale will be
an inspiration.” —John Mole, author, It’s All Greek to Me
A chance job offer at a timber yard in Estonia gives Thom and his old pal Jo a taste for the
unknown. So when Uncle Tony asks them to drive to Vladivostok for another job, they can’t
think of a good reason why not. The result is a classic caper across the former Soviet Union
in Max, a rusty old VW camper. Knowing little of the language or the geography ahead,
they embark on probably the longest commute ever, encountering corrupt officials, film star
mechanics, and over-friendly gangsters. Far off the tourist trail, they bear witness to the
collapse of one nation and the birth of a new one during the free-for-all that was Russia in
the 1990s.
Thom Wheeler lived in St. Petersburg for several years working as a guide and teacher be-
fore going on to live in several ex-Soviet countries, including Georgia and Ukraine. He con-
tinues to spend time in the ex-Soviet Union traveling, teaching, and writing, and he runs an
annual theater workshop in Tzarskoe Selo, Russia. This is his first book.

“As soon as I got into the first chapter, I knew I was going to be so gripped I wouldn’t
be able to put it down. . . . Uplifting stuff.” —Adventure Travel
Felicity Aston challenged women in many countries, asking if they could ski to the South
Pole, as she set out to create the most international all-female expedition ever to the Pole.
The team would not be experienced explorers but “ordinary” women who want to inspire
others to follow their dreams. She received more than 800 applications and led a team from
places as diverse as Jamaica, India, Singapore, and Cyprus—some of whom had never even
seen snow or spent the night in a tent before joining the expedition—on one of the tough-
est journeys on the planet. Eighty-mile-an-hour winds ripped through base camp, frostbite
and injuries were an everyday occurrence, and deadly crevasses cracked beneath their feet.
This is their story of newfound strength, persistence, and friendships.
Felicity Aston is an expedition leader, public speaker, and freelance travel writer. Her past
achievements include leading the first British women’s team across Greenland, completing
the infamous Marathon Des Sables across the Sahara, as well as working as a meteorolo-
gist in the Antarctic for three years.

Live Fast Die Young
Misadventures in Rock ‘n’ Roll America
Chris Price and Joe Harland
A tale of friendship tested to the limit, noble myths, love lost and found, perfect lyrics,
and good times as two friends drive across the U.S. to pay homage to the roots of rock
and roll
“Among those rare volumes which are not only a joy sui generis, but also—and better
yet—a joy to be shared by reading aloud. Mere satire is cheap; the blood in these
pages is more authentic than any Nashville approximation of Americana.” —Stanley
Booth, music journalist
One autumn, radio producers Chris and Joe drive across America, roof down, stereo up,
and discover the roots of the sounds they love. They sell their souls to the devil on the same
crossroads as Robert Johnson, buy booze from the same store as Jim Morrison, hang out
with the spirit of Johnny Cash in his own front room, and sit on a jetty by an alligator in-
fested lake to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to country-rock musician Gram Parsons. But first they
must learn the ukulele, grow moustaches, fail to get into the Chateau Marmont, get very
drunk with rising pop star Terra Naomi—and that’s just day one.
Chris Price has been shaping the popular music landscape for his entire career, as director of
music for MTV and prior to that as an award-winning radio producer. Joe Harland is also
an award-winning radio producer, having previously been a film critic and football commentator.
Twitchhiker
How One Man Travelled the World by Twitter
Paul Smith
One man’s attempt to travel the globe in 30 days, depending solely on the generosity of
strangers through Twitter
“Genuinely funny . . . easy-to-read and hard-to-put-down . . . will appeal just as much

to the footloose and fancy free as it will to anyone who’d simply like their faith in hu-
manity restored.” —Real Travel
There were five rules of Twitchhiker. I can only accept offers of travel and accommodation
from people on Twitter. I can’t make any travel plans further than three days in advance. I
can only spend money on food, drink and anything that might fit in my suitcase. If there is
more than one offer, I choose which I take. If there is only one, I have to take it within 48
hours. If I am unable to find a way to move on from a location within 48 hours, the chal-
lenge is over and I go home.
Bored in the bread aisle of the supermarket one day, Paul Smith wondered how far he could
get around the world in 30 days through the goodwill of users of social networking site
Twitter. At the mercy of these rules, he set his sights on New Zealand—the opposite point
on the planet to his home in Newcastle, England. All he had to do next was explain the idea
to his new wife. In an adventure wrapped in nonsense, he traveled by road, boat, plane, and
train; slept in five-star luxury and on no-star floors; schmoozed with Hollywood A-listers;
and was humbled by the generosity of the thousands who followed his journey and deter-
mined its course.
Paul Smith is a former Sony award–winning radio producer and now edits websites, blogs,
and builds iPhone applications.

A Dip in the Ocean
Rowing Solo Across the Indian
Sarah Outen
Foreword by Dame Ellen MacArthur
Four-thousand miles of unpredictable ocean, 500 chocolate bars, 124 days of physical
exertion, three Guinness World Records, and one incredible journey
“A book to stroke your adventurous streak . . . gripping.” —National Geographic Traveller

On April 1, 2009, brave 23-year-old Sarah Outen embarked on an ambitious solo voyage
across the Indian Ocean in her rowing boat, Dippers. Powered by the grief of the sudden
loss of her father and the determination to live life to the fullest, Sarah and her tiny boat
successfully negotiated wild ocean storms, unexpected encounters with whales, and the con-
tinuous threat of being capsized by passing container ships. Along the way she broke two
oars, ate 500 chocolate bars, and lost 20 kg of bodyweight before arriving in Mauritius.
She became the first woman and the youngest person to row solo across the Indian Ocean.
Life-affirming, funny, and poignant, Sarah’s salty tale of courage and endurance will inspire
the taste of adventure in everyone.
Sarah Outen has toured the world as a motivational speaker. She is currently on her next
voyage, “London to London: Via the World—A Sarah-powered Loop Around the Planet.”
Dame Ellen MacArthur is a a solo long-distance yachtswoman who formerly held the world
record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe.

In Praise of Savagery
Warwick Cairns
One man’s journey in the footsteps of a great explorer into the heart of Africa
“Plenty of books have been written about Thesiger, but Cairns’s moments with the
great Wilfred are more than enough to justify adding to the literature. . . . A deeply
conservative and often funny meditation on the odd choices mankind has made in the
name of progress. . . . This is a touching tribute.” —Independent
“Droll, entertaining [and] witty . . . Cairn’s lighthearted approach is informative and
easy to read . . . should briefly alleviate anxiety, if only because it’s hard to worry and
smile simultaneously.” —Publishers Weekly on How to Live Dangerously
As a young man, Warwick Cairns met the then elderly explorer Wilfred Thesiger and the two
men struck up an unlikely friendship. Invited to visit him at his African home, Cairns de-
cides to make a bit of an adventure of it and do some of the journey on foot. When he him-
self was a young man, Thesiger led an expedition to explore the course of the Awash river
in Ethiopia. Every Westerner that had gone before him had been killed by local tribesmen.
Needless to say, he survived. Alternating chapters chart Warwick’s journey with that of The-
siger creating a captivating dual narrative that is part travel book, part biography, part au-
tobiography, and part history with fair doses of philosophy and humor thrown in for good
measure. This highly original book defies classification, but is effortlessly readable.
Warwick Cairns is the author of How to Live Dangerously.

Listening to Country
Ros Moriarty
From a trip made by the author to the Australian desert to spend time learning the secrets
and hearing the stories of her husband’s family’s matriarchs, comes a warm, intimate ac-
count providing rare insight into the spiritual and emotional world of Aboriginal women
“It is perhaps the most lyrical and evocative book I have read in years. . . [she] has
created a beautiful rendering of the wonder that results when one human being con-
nects with another.” —Mary Dalmau in ShelfAwareness
Ros Moriarty is a white woman married to an Aboriginal man. Over the course of many
visits to her husband’s family, she was fascinated to discover that the older tribal women
of his family had a deep sense of happiness and purpose that transcended the abject mate-
rial poverty, illness, and increasing violence of their community—a happiness that she feels
is related to an essential “warmth of heart” that these women say has gone missing in today’s
world. In May 2006, she had the chance to spend time in the Tanami Desert in north cen-
tral Australia with 200 Aboriginal women, performing women’s law ceremonies. Here is
the story of that trip and her friendship with these women, as she tells their stories and passes
on their wisdom and understanding. Offering a privileged window into the spiritual and
emotional world of Aboriginal women, this book is a moving story of common human experience, the getting and passing on
of wisdom, and the deep friendship and bonds between women. It carries a moving and profound sense of optimism in the fun-
damental humanity we all share.
Ros Moriarty is a former journalist with Radio Australia in indigenous affairs, women’s issues, and the environment. She is cur-
rently designer and managing director of Balarinji Studio, Australia’s leading indigenous art and design group.

Surfari
Tim Baker
In a story for anyone who has ever dreamed of an alternative to the busy, micro-sched-
uled existence of work, school, shopping, and housework, surf writer Tim Baker and his
family grab their surfboards and hit the open road
All surfers dream of shedding responsibilities and answering the siren song of the ocean
swells, though for most, it is an ideal that recedes as family, career, and provider commit-
ments overwhelm the wanderlust of youth. But surf writer Tim Baker decided to shelve the
worldly pressures, pack up the family and a few trusty surfboards, and take a Great Aus-
tralian surfing road trip. Inspired by the dreams of his youth, and in the face of looming
middle-age, Baker and his wife Kirsten started in January 2011 from their home in Queens-
land, heading south down the east coast of Australia. Over the next six to eight months,
they circumnavigated the country, as Baker documents the state of surf culture and the coast-
line, and the array of colorful characters encountered along the way. This is a lively, col-
orful handbook on how to trade your life for another variety, the delights and dangers that
lay in wait for those who dare to chase their dreams, and how a family of four survive six
months on the road in the close quarters of a four-wheel drive and a caravan.

Surf for Your Life
Mick Fanning and Tim Baker
Candid, self-deprecating, and absolutely unique, professional surfer Mick Fanning reveals
his life story while imparting plenty of practical surfing tips
Mick Fanning is young, but he’s had many experiences that most of us never will. How does
it feel to lose a brother? Win a world title? Rip your hamstring muscle clean off the bone?
Weave through a zippering Superbank barrel for 20 or 30 seconds or paddle over the ledge at
places like Pipeline and Teahupo? Have scoliosis so bad you can’t get off the floor? Address
the New South Wales state of origin team before a match, bowl to Matty Hayden, and have
Dave Warner belt you for consecutive sixes? Mick tells his life story candidly—in turns funny,
sensitive, thoughtful, self-deprecating—while providing intimate insights into the personal les-
sons gained along the way, with practical tips on surfing technique, fitness, nutrition, board
design, travel, competitive strategies, and mental clarity. Mick has overcome personal tragedy
and career-threatening injury on his way to claiming the 2007 world surfing title. Universally
acknowledged as the most focused and driven competitive surfer of his era, his approach to
surfing, sports psychology, life, and relationships makes fascinating reading.

From Last to First

A Long Distance Runner’s Journey from Failure to Success
Charlie Spedding
For anyone aspiring to run a marathon, or indeed anyone who wants to set themselves
a goal they think beyond their reach—and achieve it—this is an essential book
Charlie Spedding describes himself as “not particularly talented”—at least, compared to
the other athletes in the Olympic marathon. So how did he end up with a bronze medal,
how did he win the London Marathon, and why does he still hold the English record for
the distance? In this remarkable autobiography he explains how someone who was almost
bottom of the class when he first went to school, and even worse at sports, eventually turned
himself into a genuinely world-class athlete, competing in top marathons all over the world
and genuinely going from last to first. As well as the enthralling life story of one of the finest
distance runners, this book is a wonderfully clear and inspiring piece of life coaching for
anyone who wants to make the most of their talents. As Spedding says at the start, “I be-
lieve that on occasions you can create the circumstances in which you can perform at a higher
level than your talent says you can.” Spedding’s own story, and his chronicle of the big races
he excelled in, proves it’s true.
Charlie Spedding is a former long distance marathon runner who won an Olympic bronze
medal and came in first in the Houston Marathon and the London Marathon.

The view atop the cycling world from the winner of the 2011 Tour de France
“My mind took control of my body. I had nothing left in the legs, but as a cy-

get to the finish.”
Filled with never-before-seen pictures and revealing insights into the thoughts

cusses his inspiring and heroic battle to be the first Australian to win the biggest
cycling race in the world, the Tour de France. This is a rare and fascinating look

How I Won the Yellow Jumper

Dispatches from the Tour de France
Ned Boulting
A funny and frank account of falling in love with the Tour de France that explores the
highs, the lows, and the occasional absurdities of broadcasting live sports
“Candid, insightful, and often hilarious. . . . Anyone who likes France, cycling, media
coverage of sport, obsessives, and above all the magic that is the Tour de France will
enjoy this book.” —Alastair Campbell, author, The Blair Years
“At last, a book about the Tour that’s just great fun.” —Matt Rendell, author, Blazing
Saddles: The Cruel & Unusual History of the Tour de France
Paris, 4 July 2003: My first Tour de France. I had never seen a bike race. I had only vaguely
heard of Lance Armstrong. I had no idea what I was doing there. Yet, that day I was broad-
casting live on television. I fumbled my way through a few platitudes, before summing up with
the words, “. . . Dave Millar just missing out on the Yellow Jumper.” Yes, the Yellow Jumper.
Following Ned Boulting’s (occasionally excruciating) experiences covering the world’s most
famous two-wheeled race, this story offers an insider’s view of life behind the scenes of the
Tour, as well as detailing the complexities and absurdities of reporting on the race and con-
fronting the most celebrated riders—Cavendish, Wiggins, Armstrong and more—seconds after they cross the line. Eight Tours
on from Ned’s humbling debut, he has grown to respect, mock, adore, and crave the race in equal measure, and what’s more,
he has even started to understand it. This is a funny, frank account of Ned’s journey—that same journey undertaken by many
tens of thousands of cycling enthusiasts—from tour trainee to incurable fanatic.
Ned Boulting started his broadcasting career as a reporter on the show Soccer Saturday, in 2006 winning the Royal Television
Society’s Sports Reporter of the Year Award. He has presented two Tours of Britain for ITV, as well as the inaugural Tour Se-
ries, and contributed features and live reports on eight Tours de France.

Rory McIlroy
The Biography
Frank Worrall
The fascinating story of one of golf’s most amazing young talents, winner of the 2011
U.S. Open
Hard-hitting Rory McIlroy was destined to become a professional golfer from the moment
he recorded a 40-yard drive at the age of two. His first hole in one came when he was nine,

phy tells all about his amateur career, culminating in the silver medal as leading amateur
in the 2007 Open Championship at Carnoustie. It presents a portrait of an athlete who, de-
spite high expectations, keeps a cool head on his young shoulders and lets his golf do the
talking. It goes on to describe how in 2008, Rory entered the top 100 in the Official World
Golf Rankings, with his first victory coming in the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic where he en-
dured a nail-biting final hole. His final breakthrough is discussed, when in June 2011, he
won his first major, the U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club in Maryland. Rory won
by eight shots and finished with the amazing total of 16 under par.

72-year-old once won a silver medal for target shooting? This new edition also has
every finals result, recorded by the top eight competitors in every event at the Beijing
Olympics, and full descriptions of rules and scoring for every event included for 2012.

The Little Book of Aston Villa

Dave Woodhall
The unofficial book of Aston Villa Football Club
Tradition is a byword for Aston Villa. Few clubs anywhere in England, let alone anywhere
else, can boast a time line of success to match the Birmingham club. Founding members of
the Football League, they first won the First Division in 1893–1894 and by the end of the
1890s they had won five of their six championships and two of their seven FA Cups.
Dave Woodhall is the editor of the Aston Villa fanzine Heroes and Villains and also the au-
thor of several books about Villa, including Champions, the story of the 1980–1981 title-
winning team.

The Little Book of Celtic

Graham McColl
A celebration of the Celtic soccer club from the many larger-than-life characters
The glory days may be returning to Celtic Park. Celtic was the first British team to win the
European Cup in 1967, with a team whose 11 members were all born within an hour’s jour-
ney of the center of Glasgow and whose manager was the legendary Jock Stein. These days
Celtic players are a more cosmopolitan bunch under the managing of Neil Lennon, and they
regularly defeat their rivals, the Rangers, in the race for the Scottish title.
Graham McColl is a freelance sports writer and author of The Jock Stein Years, United: In
the Sixties, and a contributor to The Official Illustrated History of Manchester United.

The Little Book of Newcastle

Mike Bolam
A collection of quotes from those who have passed through St. James Park and some
who are still there
The good times have come back to Tyneside. Newcastle is a one-team town and, with Alan
Pardew at the helm, the Magpies can enjoy a new exciting look to the team. But it hasn’t
always been that way. Perhaps more than most, the club has had its share of ups and downs.
And it’s certainly had more than its share of characters; few clubs can boast so many peo-
ple with so much to say for themselves. Newcastle United has a proud tradition and loyal
support, and this book aims to capture the flavor of both.
Mike Bolam is author of The Magpies: A Day to Day Life and is currently coeditor of the
Newcastle United FC’s official website.

The Little Book of Rangers

Neil Cameron
A celebration of the great traditions of the Rangers as well as the many larger-than-life
characters who have walked through its doors
Rangers are one of the two great powers in Scottish soccer who have dominated the domestic
game for more than a century. They have won the Scottish League a record 54 times and
been runners-up 26 times. People at the club have always been famous for their “patter” and
the pride with which they pull on the famous royal blue shirts. And no club has more loyal
support—Rangers’ most famous song is “Follow Follow” and the club’s vast ranks of sup-
porters do indeed follow their team to the ends of the earth.
Neil Cameron is a sports writer for the Daily Record, Scotland’s biggest newspaper.

An Epic Swindle
44 Months with a Pair of Cowboys
Brian Reade
The inside story of how Liverpool FC came within hours of being repossessed by the banks
after the shambolic 44-month reign of American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett
This is a tale of debts, lies, cowboys, and a civil war that dragged Britain’s most successful
soccer club to its knees, through the High Court, and almost into administration. Players
Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher tell of their anger at the broken promises, as well as
their pain at watching loyal fans in open revolt. The manager, the chief executive, board
members, leading fans, and journalists reveal the turmoil at a revered sporting institution
run by two men at war with each other, and who trampled the notion of the Liverpool Way
into the gutter. No story sums up the naked greed at the heart of modern soccer quite like
Hicks’ and Gillett’s attempt to turn a quick buck at Liverpool, and no one has had as much
access to the truth, or tells it with as much passion, wit, and insight as Brian Reade.
Brian Reade is a radio host, a writer for the Daily Mirror, and the author of 43 Years with
the Same Bird.

Walking in a Fergie Wonderland
Frank Worrall
A biography of one of the greatest British soccer managers in living memory
With a reign at Manchester United approaching 25 years, Sir Alex has brought countless
trophies and records to Old Trafford and has transformed United into the most popular
soccer club in the world and this is his story. It tells of his playing career, his 1974 retire-
ment to begin his managerial career, and his time with Aberdeen, where he led a struggling
side to an incredible Scottish league championship and oversaw a 2–1 win over Real Madrid
to seal the 1983 European Cup Winners’ Cup. But it is Manchester United that has brought
Sir Alex world domination. This book tells how, joining the club in November 1986, Fer-
guson immediately set about improving the players’ discipline and strengthening the squad,
and how his signing of Eric Cantona for a bargain £1.2million in 1992 helped to secure
their first League trophy in 26 years. It traces the incredible run of success that followed.
Under Sir Alex, United have won 11 Premier League titles—drawing level with Liverpool
on 18 League titles in total—and have reached the Champions League final three times, win-
ning the trophy on two occasions. Fergie has also brought some of United’s biggest and best-
loved stars to Old Trafford and has truly made Manchester United one of the most powerful
soccer forces in the world today.
Frank Worrall is a journalist who writes regularly for the Sunday Times and the Sun. He is
also the author of Rooney: Wayne’s World, Roy Keane: Red Man Walking, and The Mag-
nificent Sevens.

Sir Alex
The Official Manchester United Story of 25 Years at the Top
David Meek and Tom Tyrrell
The official Manchester United celebration of Sir Alex Ferguson’s 25 years as the club’s
record-breaking manager
Not only celebrating what Sir Alex Ferguson has achieved at United, this fascinating book
also seeks to explain just how he has gone about creating this remarkable dynasty, con-
stantly rebuilding the team and driving them forward to yet more glory. When Fergu-
son joined Manchester United in November 1986, he came with a great track record from
his time in charge of Aberdeen. But reestablishing the Reds as the most successful club
in the land was an enormous task. Famously, he knew he had to knock Liverpool off
their perch. At the dawn of the Premier League era, in 1992–93, United had gone 26
years without being champions, but that season Ferguson finally led the club to title suc-
cess and in 2010–2011 he finally achieved the record-breaking 19th title. On top of that,
Sir Alex has led Manchester United to two Champions League victories and many other
trophies. In an era when most managers are lucky if they last two years, Sir Alex’s achieve-
ment of lasting 25 years at the very top is truly astonishing. This book is the club’s fit-
ting tribute to his career.
David Meek was the Manchester United correspondent of the Manchester Evening News
between 1958 and 1995. He’s the author of George Best and Legends of United. Tom
Tyrrell has reported on Manchester United for 45 years, and during that time has worked
as the stadium announcer as well as writing many books on the club.

Andy Carroll
Frank Worrall
An in-depth biography of one of the most exciting talents in English soccer today
Andy Carroll’s strength, power, and skill in the air have endeared him to legions of fans—
and made him the most expensive British soccer player in history. His whole career is cov-
ered here, from the beginning at Newcastle United, where he was the youngest ever player
to represent Newcastle in Europe. Soon after, he scored his first senior goal, against Juven-
tus, before heading to Preston North End on a six-month loan, where he continued to im-
press in 11 appearances. Carroll then made a triumphant return to St. James’ Park in 2008,
scoring his first competitive goal for the club on his first home start, and by 2010 he was
playing virtually every game as a key part of Newcastle’s Championship-winning side. His
impressive form continued in the Premier League and in January 2011 he moved to Liver-
pool in a deal worth in excess of £35 million. In November 2010 Carroll was called up to
the England squad for a friendly against France. Although the match ended in defeat, Car-
roll’s involvement was one of the stand-out performances of the night and he is one of Eng-
land’s great hopes for the future. This in-depth biography charts the highs and lows of one
of England’s brightest stars.

Fields of Courage
The Bravest Chapters in Sport
Max Davidson
From Jackie Robinson to Billie Jean King, a cavalcade of sports heroism celebrating virtues
that transcend winning and losing
Explaining why athletics, at their best, can be so inspirational, this is a history of sports that
is littered with tales of exemplary courage: athletes pushing their bodies through the pain bar-
rier, or defying career-threatening injuries, in quest of victory. Their heroics have inspired gen-
erations of athletes and fans. But courage is as much a moral as a physical attribute, and some
of the most inspiring stories here feature men and women of principle who have challenged
authority, fought racism and sexism, or simply had the guts to confess to weaknesses that went
against the grain of their profession. Ben Hogan, Jackie Robinson, Denis Compton, Billie Jean
King, Derek Redmond, and more inspiring heroes are included.
Max Davidson is the author of It’s Not the Winning that Counts: The Most Inspiring Mo-
ments of Sporting Chivalry.

Cyclone: My Story
Barry McGuigan
The Irish legend of the ring and former world featherweight champion tells his story for
the first time
“Barry McGuigan was one of the best fighters of his generation, he had fanatical sup-
port. Barry’s a great ambassador for the sport of boxing.” —Sugar Ray Leonard
“At a dark hour in Ireland, Barry McGuigan’s spirit shone a light towards peace. Barry’s
not only a champion, he’s a hero.” —Bono
“He was an unlikely figure in the modern era when the mania of self-promotion has all
but obliterated the dignity of sportsmanship in these islands, the McGuigan years are
years we remember.” —Daniel Day Lewis
In a gripping autobiography, Barry McGuigan shares his stories of extraordinary professional
triumph and devastating personal tragedy. On a hot summer’s night in June 1985, during one
of the most emotionally charged fights of all time, McGuigan beat Eusebio Pedroza to become
featherweight champion of the world. Lasting a full 15 rounds, this epic battle was watched by
27,000 spectators ringside and by a further 20 million on television around the world. Raised
in the border town of Clones, Co. Monaghan, at the height of the troubles, Barry McGuigan
united people across sectarian and religious divides during a difficult time in Ireland’s political history. A Catholic, he married his
Protestant childhood sweetheart, Sandra, in 1981. An Irishman, he fought for the British Title wearing boxing shorts in the colors
of the UN’s Flag of Peace, and in place of a national anthem his father, Pat McGuigan, would often sing a heartfelt rendition of
Danny Boy before a fight. Engaging and intelligent, McGuigan is a renowned and revered figure in the boxing world and beyond.
Barry McGuigan, nicknamed the Clones Cyclone, is a former world featherweight champion boxer who was voted into the World
Boxing Hall of Fame in 2000 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005. He currently enjoys a successful career as a
sports commentator, writer, and motivational speaker, and continues his involvement in the boxing world as president and founder
of the Professional Boxing Association, a boxing promoter, and a trainer.

chatty style ensures things never get too heavy.” —Bird Watching
“This quirky book reveals all.” —Green Magazine

ornithological conundrums and others in this engaging book that delves into literature,
science, religion, fine art, and popular culture to reveal how a bird can be far more than
the sum of its feathered, winged, and webbed parts. Worshipped as gods and damned as

tragic history behind the world’s largest marsupial carnivore, this new guidebook covers

The Banned List

John Rentoul
A manifesto for clear writing and an indictment of the damage done to the English lan-
guage by the use of jargon
John Rentoul examines how poor writing and a reliance on jargon have damaged our ability
to communicate with each other and makes the case for the use of clear English. He addresses
the verbification of nouns, the use of waffle to pad out a simple statement, and the importing
of business jargon into everyday situations. Unashamedly polemical in tone, his essay condemning
contemporary linguistic atrocities is the perfect read for anyone who has ever had the mis-
fortune to read a public policy report on key deliverables or a newspaper article about the lat-
est game-changer.
John Rentoul is chief political commentator for the Independent on Sunday and the author of
Tony Blair: Prime Minister. His popular blog features the ever-growing Banned List of over-
used, meaningless words and phrases.

Harvey Wallbangers and Tam O’Shanters

A Book of Eponyms: The People Who Inspired the Words We Use Every Day
Martin Hannan
From a Harvey Wallbanger to a Caesar Salad, this entertaining and informative book is
packed with eponyms from across the worlds of literature, history, medicine, religion, pol-
itics, science, nature, and cuisine
Did you know that Maria Ann Smith was genuinely a grandmother who died not knowing
that she had given the world one of the best varieties of apple? Or that the word tawdry, mean-
ing tacky or tasteless, has its origins in the fate of a seventh-century Saxon princess, Ethel-
dreda, who was canonized and became St. Audrey? An eponym is a word derived from the
name of a real, fictional, or mythical character or person and is one of the most fascinating
examples of how the English language gains new words. This book takes a colorful look at
the phenomenon that is the eponym and, for the first time, gathers together the stories of the
people behind the words that have passed into everyday vocabulary.
Martin Hannan is the author of Twentieth Century Scotland: A Pictorial Chronicle.

Ray Harryhausen’s Fantasy Scrapbook
Models, Artwork and Memories from
65 Years of Filmmaking
Ray Harryhausen and Tony Dalton
Foreword by John Landis
One of the most innovative and influential film animators
in the history of the medium reveals a wealth of fascinating
never-before-seen film artifacts, many of them recently dis-
covered in a garage in Los Angeles
“Ray has been a great inspiration to us all in the special

visual industry. The art of his earlier films, which most
of us grew up on, inspired us so much.” —George Lucas
“Ray’s films, his fantastic visions, his dreams, waking
nightmares, whatever he has put into our collective
consciousness over the years have jump-started the imagi-
nations of a whole generation of filmmakers.”
—James Cameron
“I salute him every day.” —Steven Spielberg
Designed in the form of a scrapbook, this visual feast for Har-
ryhausen fans reveals models from unrealized projects, such as
dinosaurs from the unfinished film Evolution; prints of outtakes
from various films; early concept drawings and storyboards;
color transparencies of Ray at work; written artifacts such as
letters, production budgets, and a diary that details Ray’s first
meeting with his mentor Willis O’Brien; early film treatments
and script extracts; publicity posters and brochures; and more.
Some items show Ray’s earliest artistic endeavors such as wa-
tercolors painted when he was 15 years old and marionettes of creatures from King Kong that he made when he saw the film
in 1933. The result is a treasure trove of rare artifacts and material which not only offer new insights into how Ray created par-
ticular effects, but also bring the worlds of his films to life in a new way and paint a fascinating visual portrait of the man him-
self and his creative imagination.
Ray Harryhausen is universally revered as the grandmaster of special effects in the precomputer age, responsible for such clas-
sic films as The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, Jason and the Argonauts, and One Million Years BC. He received an
honorary Oscar in 1992 and a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2003. Tony Dalton has known Ray for more than 30
years, having met him when he was first working at the British Film Institute. He was involved in the publicity for The Omen,
Star Wars, and The Towering Inferno, and now runs his own archive research company. They cowrote An Animated Life and
A Century of Model Animation. John Landis is the director of such films as An American Werewolf in London, The Blues Broth-
ers, Coming to America, National Lampoon’s Animal House, Spies Like Us, and Trading Places, as well as Michael Jackson’s
“Thriller” video.

Tolkien’s Ring
David Day
Illustrations by Alan Lee
A reissue of the literary detective work examining Tolkien’s sources and inspiration,
beautifully illustrated by the lead conceptual artist for the LOTR film trilogy, of whom
Peter Jackson said “His art captured what I hoped to capture with the films.”
“A mighty achievement, effectively described and celebrated in this lavish, hand-

somely presented volume.” —Times Educational Supplement
“Day’s enthusiasm is infectious, and he concisely retells the myths he examines
with some verve.” —SFX Magazine
“A comprehensive guide to every important aspect of Middle-earth and the Undy-
ing Lands . . . a stunning tour de force.” —Detroit Free Press on Tolkien: The
Illustrated Encyclopaedia
J. R. R. Tolkien had a great knowledge of, and love for, world mythology when he wrote
his beloved trilogy of Middle Earth. This authoritative work shows how The Lord of
the Rings is the result of an ancient storytelling tradition that dates back to the dawn
of Western cultures, and how, by drawing upon the world’s primary myths and legends,
Tolkien created his own mythology for the 20th century. In particular, the symbol of the Ring has a rich and fascinating her-
itage, and just as Gandalf sets out to discover the history of the Hobbit’s Ring, so the author searches out the history and de-
scent of Tolkien’s Ring, and how the Ring quest tradition first came into being among tribal peoples before written records were
kept. Beautifully illustrated throughout by the acclaimed artist Alan Lee—creator of the illustrated The Lord of the Rings—this
is an extraordinary journey through the most magical and potent of stories.
David Day is the author of more than 20 books, including Guide to Tolkien’s World, Tolkien: The Illustrated Encyclopaedia,
and A Tolkien Bestiary. Alan Lee is a lead conceptual artist for the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and a recipient of the Acad-
emy Award for Best Art Direction for his work on The Return of the King. He illustrated The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook
and the centenary editions of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Children of Húrin.

Elisabeth Sladen
The Autobiography
Elisabeth Sladen
Foreword by David Tennant
A unique, insider’s view of the world’s longest-running science fiction series, from one of
the fans’ favorite companions. David Tennant’s foreword caps this warm, witty memoir—
a fitting tribute to a woman who will be sadly missed by legions of fans.
“A poignant parting gift and, in the most unexpected way, one of the most revealing
Doctor Who books ever written.” —Marcus Hearn, writer, Doctor Who Magazine, and
editor, Doctor Who Classic Comics
When Elisabeth Sladen first appeared as plucky journalist Sarah Jane Smith in 1973 Doctor
Who story “The Time Warrior,” little did she know the character would become one of the
most enduring and fondly remembered in the series’ history. Here she shares the story of her
years as Sarah Jane—traversing time and space alongside classic Doctors Jon Pertwee and
Tom Baker, while a generation of children were terrified but transfixed as their heroine found
herself menaced by Daleks, dinosaurs, Cybermen, man-eating alien flora, Egyptian mummies,
extras in Bubble Wrap, and even the Loch Ness Monster. By the time she quit in 1976, mak-
ing front-page news, Elisabeth had become one of the most familiar faces of a TV golden
age. But that wasn’t the end of Sarah Jane. Elisabeth discusses the many times she has reprised her role—anniversary specials,
a 1981 spin-off pilot with robotic sidekick K-9, and radio plays. She discusses touring the weird, wide, and wonderful world
of Doctor Who fandom. And lastly, she shares details of Sarah Jane’s most recent incarnation—when TV wunderkind Russell
T. Davies approached her to come back again, this time to a Doctor Who backed by lavish budgets and garlanded with critical
plaudits, how could she possibly say no? Funny, ridiculous, insightful, and entertaining, hers is the story of another girl, an-
other planet, completed just months before she died.
Elisabeth Sladen (1946–2011) played companion Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures. She also ap-

The Doctors: Who’s Who
The Story Behind Every Face of the Iconic Time Lord
Craig Cabell
Detailed biographies of the 11 actors who have played the Time Lord, including the lat-
est, Matt Smith
Doctor Who is the world’s longest-running science fiction television series, and the role of
the Time Lord has been a career landmark for all 11 actors who have played him. Few roles
in television history are as iconic, demanding, or as anticipated by its legion of fans as that
of the famous time traveler with two hearts. This compendium of facts about the men be-
hind the role reveals to fans who was a bouncer for the Rolling Stones before taking con-
trol of the Tardis, who was nearly blown up in World War II aboard HMS Hood, who had
a fondness for wooly hats and a grandson who would become Harry Potter’s nemesis, and
who played a transvestite barmaid before becoming a Who heartthrob. All these bizarre
facts are explained, and many more, as the lives and careers of each Doctor—including the
youngest and most recent incarnation, Matt Smith—are put under the spotlight and given
the credit they so richly deserve. With interviews with many of the stars, this is a must-
have for any fan.

Essential for script readers, development executives, and producers, this is also an inci-
sive and effective how-to book for screenwriters, clearly illuminating the script assess-

screenwriters themselves who are seeking guidance on how the industry might respond to
their work. With contributions from industry insiders, it includes information on how to
write a brilliant script report, storytelling and screen genres, treatments and other short doc-
uments, writing clear and detailed analysis of the craft of storytelling for film, and best prac-
tice in reading and reporting on scripts. It also includes a full resource section listing useful
print and online publications, organizations, and associations.

Tintin
Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier
An updated edition just in time for Steven Spielberg’s animated film The Adventures of
Tintin, premiering December 23, 2011, produced by Peter Jackson and starring Daniel
Craig, Simon Pegg, and Jamie Bell as Tintin
The silhouette of Tintin—a young man wearing golf pants, running with a white fox ter-
rier by his side—is easily one of the most recognizable visual icons of the modern world.
In fact Tintin is nine years older than Superman and 10 years older than Batman, having
first appeared in Belgium in 1929. This fully revised and expanded edition of this popular
pocket-sized reference book offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the Tintin se-
ries. Starting with the character’s humble origins in the children’s supplement of a Belgian
Catholic newspaper, the authors track Tintin’s development and success throughout the
decades, including the stormy World War II years. Each book is analyzed in detail, both in
the context of the series, and in its larger framework: that of the comic’s medium and of
society in general. The authors also look at the massive industry that has developed around
the figure of Tintin, the trivia, the anecdotes, the movies and television series, and the mul-
titude of Tintin spin-offs.
Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier have been writing and editing comic books for 15 years. Their titles include Batman:
Nosferatu, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, Dr. Strange, Superman’s Metropolis, Tales of the Shadowmen, and Teen Titans, and they
received the Inkpot Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comic Arts from Comic-Con. They are the authors of numerous
nonfiction books about science fiction and fantasy, such as Into the Twilight Zone, and have written animation scripts for tel-
evision series, such as Duck Tales and The Real Ghostbusters.

What’s Wrong with Modern Movies?
Mark Kermode
A renowned film critic offers a no-holds-barred account of all that is great and all that
is terrible about cinema
“Film criticism is rarely as much fun as Kermode.” —Empire on It’s Only a Movie
“Breezy, entertaining . . . he’s spot on in pretty much all his critical opinions.”
—Independent on It’s Only a Movie
Outspoken, opinionated, and hilariously funny, the critic who carved out a career in print,
radio, and television based entirely on the belief that The Exorcist is the greatest movie ever
made and that the Pirates of the Caribbean films should be buried in a very deep hole where
they can never bother anyone ever again tackles the real questions that serious filmgoers
need answered: What’s wrong with the modern movie business? How can we make it right?
If blockbusters make money no matter how bad they are, then why not make a good one
for a change? How can 3-D be the future of cinema when it’s been giving audiences a headache
for more than 100 years? Why pay to watch films in theaters which don’t have a projec-
tionist but do have a fast-food stand? And, in a world in which Sex and the City 2 was a
Also available: hit, what the hell are film critics for? This hilariously forthright, enthusiastic look at the
state of film today will delight all film obsessives.

Did you know that the inspiration for Rocky Balboa once lost at wrestling to Andre the
Giant? That Ali G was actually based on a real, white, middle-class Jamaican-accented hip

Sarah Marshall
From provocative choices like The Mother to his triumphant turn as Bond to the lead
role in the hotly anticipated remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo—the fully up-
dated story of a supremely talented actor
He’s gorgeous, tremendously talented, charming, and sexy. His breathtaking performance

standing actor, he could cut it as an action hero and redefine a cinematic icon to huge crit-
ical acclaim. This fascinating, affectionate book reveals everything about this fascinating
leading man—how he endured poverty-stricken years when he was first struggling to make
it as an actor in London; how he rejected the “trivial” publicity that came when he started
to make a name for himself; his relationships, including his marriage to a British actress
with whom he has a daughter; plus his encounters with Sienna Miller and Kate Moss; and
how he has handled the adulation that has come from his role as 007.

Elizabeth Taylor (1932–2011)
Queen of the Silver Screen
Ian Lloyd
A photographic collection tracing Elizabeth’s life in all its in-
tensity, through movies, marriages, and charity work—in-
cluding never before seen personal photographs
“Her picture-perfect life revealed in rarely seen snaps.”

—Hello!
“Engaging photographs appear on almost every page . . .
Fans of the royal family will delight in this affectionate and
sympathetic biography.” —Publishers Weekly on William:
The People’s Prince
A movie star from the age of 12, Elizabeth Taylor was known for
her luminous beauty, radiant star quality, and undeniable acting
prowess. This collection of photos pays tribute to the actress and
celebrity, who was also known for her love of large diamonds and
full-on living, and for notching up seven husbands. In all respects,
she exhibited a unique lust for life, and her greatest movie tri-
umphs were those in which she has was able to give rein to her
blend of kitten-like siren and wild force of nature—including Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, the lat-
ter with her longest-lasting and arguably most compatible hus-
band, Richard Burton. For all the artifice of her life, there was a
natural quality to her and, perhaps more than any other actress,
the magic of her star has never faded. This book features never-
before-seen personal photographs, given by Liz to Michael Jack-
son, who subsequently left them in a taxi in Germany and told
the driver to keep them, including brilliantly candid family snaps
of Taylor, Burton, their children, and even Marlon Brando at play.

Elizabeth
Reigning in Style
Jane Eastoe
A detailed sartorial portrait of Queen Elizabeth
II, featuring beautiful photographs, sketches,
mood boards, and the memorabilia that ac-
companied State outfits—ideal for followers of
vintage fashion and Royal-watchers alike
Published to coincide with the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee year, this remarkable book takes a fond look
back at the days when Her Majesty led the way in
terms of fashion, showcasing the best of the world’s
designers. From the coronation to the present day
the Queen has attracted comment, but in the 1950s
and 1960s particularly she was a style icon, copied
and adored. In the 1950s her wardrobe was char-
acterized by romantic, glamorous, yet practical
dresses, with fashionable nipped-in waists and full
skirts. A more tailored silhouette took over in the
1960s, while in the 1970s she embraced a more
floaty, relaxed style to match the feel of the decade.
From the feminine, intricately embroidered New
Look dresses of Norman Hartnell through the more
tailored simplicity of Hardy Amies to the more flow-
ing style of Ian Thomas in the 1970s, the Queen’s
wardrobe has been inspirational in terms of vintage
fashion. This sartorial biography charts a woman’s
move from wasp-waisted princess to stately national
icon and is a must-buy for the vintage clothes enthusiast as much as for dedicated followers of Her Majesty the Queen.
Jane Eastoe has been a journalist and author for 25 years. For many years she worked for the fashion business press, for whom
she regularly covered the international collections and interviewed designers from Gaultier to Galliano. She is the coauthor of
Fabulous Frocks and Victorian Pharmacy.

The Pictures the Celebs Didn’t Want You to See!
Alison Jackson
Alison Jackson’s convincingly realistic work uses celebrity lookalikes—here she goes be-
hind the headlines with a hilarious collection of the year’s best stories
It was quite a year in the celebrity world, and as the public’s thirst for gossip has reached
fever pitch, what could be better than a very convincing look at the scenarios we have all
imagined but never seen? Alison Jackson presents the “true” stories of these most momentous
events, including Charlie Sheen’s journey from losing it to “winning,” and the world stop-
ping entirely to watch Kate ’n’ Wills get married (then getting totally distracted by Pippa’s
bottom instead). These are the pics that carefully airbrushed celebs might not have wanted
you to see, like Gaga buying dress meat at the butcher and the Beckhams picking out names
for their new daughter (“Cif?” “No, David, I told you, I wanted Harpic.” “I thought you
said ‘Harper,’ Victoria?” “Oh yes, that’s the one!”)—but everyone else wants to see these
behind the scene shots. They say the camera never lies—let’s test that out.
Alison Jackson is an artist whose work explores the cult of celebrity. She has exhibited in
Europe, the UK, and the U.S., including a 2011 solo exhibition at MOMA in San Fran-
cisco. She has made short films for Saturday Night Live, and won a BAFTA award for her
BBC series Doubletake. Her previous collections are Confidential and Private.

specials, how to have a Top Gear New Year’s Eve Party, Stig’s Christmas dinner, and
of course a Christmas feast of fast cars and shiny metal. This is how Christmas is done
at the Top Gear hangar—mad, bad, and so much more fun than the average Christ-
mas celebration.

The Man in the White Suit
The Stig, Le Mans, the Fast Lane and Me
Ben Collins
Top Gear’s iconic driver the Stig is finally revealed!
“Car culture’s Deep Throat has come forward.” —New York

Times blog
Ben Collins divulges how he came to be Top Gear’s iconic driver,
as well as what it’s like to thrash an Aston Martin DBS, train for
the Army, face the terror of Jeremy Clarkson’s underwear, and much
more. When the Black Stig disappeared off the end of an aircraft
carrier in 2003, audiences were introduced to the White Stig—faster,
stranger, and harder to keep clean. Ever since, millions have won-
dered—who is the Man in the White Suit? They’re about to find
out. Ben Collins caught the car the bug young, kicking his dad’s boss
in the balls for not giving him a company Jag, and this was the at-
titude that eventually led him to spend seven years sharing a cabin
with Jeremy Clarkson’s underwear, James May’s PhD thesis, and
Richard Hammond’s hairspray. Now he tells all about life inside
the iconic white helmet: what it’s like to guide a blind ex-RAF of-
ficer around the Top Gear track, pit a drug dealer’s Mitsubishi Evo
against a Trojan tank, set a Vauxhall Monaro against Chloe the danc-
ing Ninja, and race double-decker Routemasters against bendy
buses—not to mention all the inside stuff on how the show’s amaz-
ing driving sequences are made. He also reveals how he got to be
there—setting a Dunsfold lap time faster than Michael Schumacher’s.
It’s an awesome story, told by an amazing man.
Ben Collins won races in every category from Formula Three to
Le Mans Sportscars and GT, and captured the European NASCAR
title. He also worked as a Hollywood stuntman. In 2003 he be-
came the anonymous fourth presenter, known as the Stig, of Top
Gear, coaching celebrities, organizing car chases, and testing hun-
dreds of priceless cars. Eight years later, his alter ego is recognized
by millions around the world.

“An entirely original focus on the bizarre lives and crimes of an extraor-

the hunt, raids, and investigations.

Excerpt:
Who are computer hackers? Why do they hack?
Underground tried to answer these questions when it was first published in 1997. The questions
still seem relevant more than a decade later. WikiLeaks, the world-famous publisher of documents
leaked in the public interest, grew out of the computer underground described in this book. It has
been said that WikiLeaks’ stories “have changed the way people think about how the world is run.”
To understand WikiLeaks, you need to know the back story. Underground is that story.
This book reveals the lives and adventures of the world’s best hackers from this early era. It is not
a book about law enforcement agencies, and it is not written from the point of view of the police
officer. From a literary perspective, I have told this story through the eyes of computer hackers. In
doing this I hope to provide the reader with a window into an enigmatic, shrouded and typically
inaccessible realm.

Outlaws
The Truth About Australian Bikers
Adam Shand
An investigation into Australia’s biker clubs—bastions of organized crime, or useful pawns
in the political law and order game?
While the remaining bastions of brotherhood in Australian society are disintegrating—po-
lice are corrupt, armed forces are bastardized and demoralized—one group, the outlaw bik-
ers, has bonded together and raised a greasy finger to the government and police. This is a
book about how the same forces that have weakened social institutions are now at play in-
side these motorcycle clubs, as they are weakened and transformed, sometimes into vicious
criminal enterprises, harboring some of the most dangerous criminals in Australia. Bikers
say they are the last free men in society, an almost paramilitary force that operates on strong,
inalienable codes of behavior and justice, but a struggle is underway inside the clubs be-
tween those who believe in the ideal of freedom and those who use the power of the club
colors to their own criminal advantage. This is the story of how these clubs try to save their
collective souls in the face of greed and self-interest.
Adam Shand is the author of King of Thieves.

Madeleine
Our Daughter’s Disappearance and the Continuing Search for Her
Kate McCann
Kate McCann’s personal account of the agonizing search for her missing daughter
“Powerful . . . Kate’s book blazes with the sheer, visceral force of her love for her
daughter.” —Daily Mail
“This haunting account makes me rue the day I doubted them.” —Daily Mail
“The decision to publish this book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts. My
reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth. Writing this memoir has en-
tailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these
with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn’t done so I would not have felt the
book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have taken
over the last four years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us
to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can
cope with anything. What follows is an intensely personal account, and I make no apology for
that. Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.” —Kate McCann, May 2011
“It is a sad fact that not a single police force anywhere is proactively looking for Madeleine
(as is the case for many other missing children). I am sure this book will reenergize the search for our daughter and the public
will get behind the Find Madeleine campaign once again. It is simply not acceptable that the authorities have given up on Madeleine—
especially when no comprehensive review of the case has been undertaken. Our daughter, and whoever took her, are out there.
We need your help to find them.” —Gerry McCann, May 2011
Kate McCann and Gerry McCann established Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned in 2007, to enable them to con-
tinue the search for their daughter, who was abducted in Portugal on May 3, 2007. As there is now no law-enforcement agency
in the world actively looking for Madeleine, the fund enables a small team of very committed and experienced people to in-
vestigate Madeleine’s disappearance. It also runs awareness campaigns in several countries, to ensure the public know that Madeleine
is still missing, and to encourage them to remain vigilant. There is no evidence to suggest that Madeleine has been harmed and
it is therefore vital to keep looking for her and those who took her. It is for this reason that all royalties earned from the sales
of this book will be donated to Madeleine’s Fund. The directors of the company are Michael Linnett, Edward Smethurst, Jon
Corner, Kate and Gerry McCann, and Kate’s uncle, Brian Kennedy. Once Madeleine has been found the fund will be used to as-
sist searches for other missing children worldwide.

Killer Couples
True Stories of Partners in Crime
Tammy Cohen
An exploration of the deadly dynamic that exists between men and women whose ro-
mantic obsession leads them to commit acts of bloody devastation
Love and lust are among the most powerful of emotions, but when a joint thirst for vio-
lence is thrown into the mix, it creates the ultimate lethal cocktail. These case histories raise
the questions of what kind of love proves itself by brutality against innocents, what warped
ties of loyalty bind a lover to a mate who murders, and how the balance of power between
a couple can become so twisted that other people become irrelevant and, worse, dispos-
able. The couples in this book are ordinary people with an extraordinary secret—murder.
In all their horrific detail, readers will discover how their flaws and fantasies fused to cre-
ate a monster that fed on the sadistic extermination of their victims.
Tammy Cohen is the author of The Day I Died and Deadly Divorces.

Jack the Ripper
The Suspects
The Whitechapel Society
The latest research on the ultimate whodunit by the world’s leading society for Rip-
per studies
The Whitechapel Murders of 1888 remain unsolved and hundreds of theories have been
suggested as to the killer’s identity. However, many of the suggestions naming the infa-
mous Ripper remain ill-informed and ludicrous, until now. The authors of this book are
all members of the Whitechapel Society, the world’s largest organization for the study of
Jack the Ripper. Each has spent many years researching a particular suspect and the re-
sults of their latest, cutting-edge investigations are published here for the first time. Based
on indisputable facts and concrete evidence, the cases put forward in this collection allow
readers to decide exactly who they believe is the man behind the myth. With each chap-
ter discussing a separate suspect in detail, this book is the ultimate guide to one of the
most famous criminal investigations in history.
The Whitechapel Society is London’s premier society for the study of Jack the Ripper
and related Victorian and Edwardian social history. They are a worldwide society host-
ing talks, presentations, guided walks, and book launches.

Crooked Talk
Five Hundred Years of the Language of Crime
Jonathon Green
An acclaimed slang expert investigates the long and venerable history of the language of
criminals, crooks, and con men
“Mr. Slang, aka Jonathon Green.” —Martin Amis

“The most-acclaimed British lexicographer since Johnson has every right to blow off
(“late 18th century: to boast, to brag”. What did you think?) as he wraps up a new edi-
tion of this most mind-bendingly addictive guide to taboo talk.” —Independent on
Green’s Dictionary of Slang
The vocabulary of crime has a long history, in fact the first dictionary of words specifically
used by criminals, Hye-Way to the Spittel House, dates from as early as 1531. This survey
looks at 500 years of crooks and con men, from the hedge-creepers and counterfeit cranks of
the 16th century to the blaggers and burners of the 21st. It also takes a substantial detour be-
hind bars into the world of prisons, and, of course, the swag, the hideouts, the getaway ve-
hicles, and allied “tools of the trade”—not forgetting the cops, peelers, fly cops, and all the
other varieties of the boys in blue. Arranged thematically, the book shows where particular
words came from, how they have evolved, and why they mean what they do. For anyone who has ever wondered when the po-
lice were first referred to as pigs (the 18th century), why prison guards became known as redraws (“warders” backwards), or
what precisely the subtle art of dipology involves (pickpocketing), this book has all the answers.
Jonathon Green is a writer, a broadcaster, and an expert on slang. His Dictionary of Slang first appeared in 1998 to huge crit-
ical acclaim, and his definitive, three-volume work was published by Oxford University Press in 2011. His many other works
include The Big Book of Bodily Functions and The Big Book of Filth.

Tamil Tigress
My Story as a Child Soldier in Sri Lanka’s Bloody Civil War
Niromi de Soyza
In 1987, 17-year-old Niromi de Soyza shocked her middle-class Sri Lankan family by join-
ing the Tamil Tigers. Equipped with a rifle and cyanide capsule she was one of the rebels’
first female soldiers—this is her story of her time as a guerrilla.
How could it be that a well-educated, middle-class, Catholic-educated girl like Niromi de
Soyza, from a respectable family, came to be fighting with the Tamil Tigers? The Sri Lanka
that Niromi knew growing up in Jaffna included daily gun fights, and a systematic campaign
by an elected government to wipe out parts of its own population. In a fit of righteous anger
and teenage idealism she joined the Tamil Tigers to defend her rights and the lives of her
friends and neighbors. Two days before Christmas, in 1987, she found herself, at the age of
17, as part of a small platoon of Tamil Tigers, the majority of them teenage girls, in an am-
bush by the Sri Lankan Army. With her was her lifelong friend, Ajanthi, also 17. Ajanthi
was killed that day as they came under heavy fire. Today she lives with her husband and
two young children in Sydney—and now she is telling her amazing story.
Niromi de Soyza now lives in suburban Sydney and works for Sydney University.

A Long Way from Paradise

Surviving the Rwandan Genocide
Leah Chishugi
An inspirational and moving memoir from a woman who survived the Rwandan geno-
cide and uses her experiences to become an agent of change
“A powerful and courageous story.” —New African

Leah Chishugi grew up in eastern Congo but moved at the age of 17 to Kigali, the Rwan-
dan capital, to work as a model. She married and had a son. When in 1994 she was caught
up in the horrific conflict, she escaped only after being left for dead under a pile of corpses.
She fled with her son to Uganda, then South Africa, where she was miraculously reunited
with her husband whom she believed dead. Leah finally settled in the UK where she was
granted asylum and became a nurse. After her mother died, Leah decided to set up a char-
ity to help the women and children of eastern Congo—victims of continuing war atroci-
ties. This is a deeply courageous narrative of one woman’s survival of personal trauma and
finding a greater purpose in life through devotion to the service of others.
Leah Chishugi grew up in eastern Congo before moving to Rwanda. In 1994 she was caught
up in the conflict but managed to escape to Uganda, and later South Africa and the UK where
she was granted asylum.

Cameron
The Rise of the New Conservative
Francis Elliott and James Hanning
A fully updated edition of the first major biography of David Cameron, now covering
his first year as prime minister and leader of the coalition government
“Anyone hoping to penetrate Cameron’s still rather opaque political personality will
want to buy this book.” —Daily Telegraph
“If anyone doubts Cameron’s classic Tory credentials, then this highly rewarding biog-
raphy lays out the story brilliantly.” —Sunday Telegraph
“This essential political textbook will be required reading for every journalist cover-
ing David Cameron’s every move until the general election.” —Independent
David Cameron emerged as the first Tory leader in years to come across as a man of the
people, an ordinary man in a traditionally reviled political position. This biography reveals
more about the man behind the spin. It explores the future direction of the Conservatives
and looks at several important questions: Is the current honeymoon evidence of a new Tory
Party, or simply recognition that the appearance of newness is needed? Will he really be pre-
pared to jeopardize the support of the traditional grass roots? How deep are his environ-
mental credentials? How will he react when the press turns nasty? Does his success mark
a return of the old class deference? Or is it the opposite, a sign that background, for bet-
ter or worse, is now unimportant?
Francis Elliott writes for the Independent. James Hanning is executive editor of the Inde-
pendent on Sunday.

Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni

The True Story
Valerie Benaim and Yven Azeroual
Translated by Sophia Cappon
Based on exclusive interviews with France’s first lady and others of the French elite close
to her and the President, the true and previously untold story of Europe’s most glam-
orous couple
A gripping and dramatic tale of modern romance played out in the public eye, this is a mod-
ern fairy tale with no damsel in distress, but rather, equally heroic partners. Nicolas
Sarkozy was elected President of France with a broken heart. Shortly after he took office,
his second wife, Cecelia, left him for another man. After weeks of brooding alone by night
in the presidential palace, he asked a friend to arrange a dinner party, and former super-
model-turned-chart-topping singer/songwriter Carla Bruni was on the guest list. Though her
former suitors included Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Prime Minister Laurent Fabius, and bil-
lionaire Donald Trump, she had never found her heart’s true desire: a man with, as she put
it, “nuclear power”—and Sarkozy had his finger on the button. The two flirted all night,
and within a few short months, the president of France had a new fiancée. This is the story
of how they met, fell instantly in love, and married, to the amazement of the world’s press.
Valerie Benaim is a French television host. Yves Azeroual is the author of Mitterand, Israel
and the Jews, and On Faith and the Republic, and the editor of La Tribune Juive, France’s
Jewish newspaper.

Infernal Triangle
Paul McGeough
An award-winning journalist’s writing on recent events in the Middle East, including the
devastating Gaza Flotilla incident
“A gripping account.” —New York Post on Kill Khalid

“The definitive chronicle of the Middle East crisis during the Clinton years and in the
post–9/11 era.” —Publishers Weekly on Kill Khalid
It’s been 10 years since Al-Qaeda demolished the World Trade Center, and Paul McGeough
was in the streets of Manhattan on that fateful day. No journalist has monitored more closely
the fallout from those destructive minutes—for Afghanistan, for Iraq, and for the never-
ending conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in the Levant. Together, these three lo-
cations are the Infernal Triangle, from which America has been unable to extricate itself.
McGeough has enjoyed access to all the main players in these unfolding events. But, more
than that, he has been prepared to observe at close quarters both the fighters and the citi-
zens involved, recording their hopes and fears, their triumphs and tragedies. He has been
present at the death of colleagues and he joined the historic “Peace Flotilla” that attempted
to bring supplies to Gaza. His vivid and eloquent journalism offers new insights into some
of the most critical events of the last decade.
Paul McGeough is the senior foreign correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald and the
author of Kill Khalid and Manhattan to Baghdad. He has twice been named Australian Jour-
nalist of the Year and in 2002 his reporting from Afghanistan was acknowledged by the award-
ing of a Johns Hopkins University–based SAIS Novartis prize for excellence in international
journalism. He participated in the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in 2010. He lives in Washington, DC.

Viva la Revolution!
The Story of People Power in 30 Revolutions
Derry Nairn
An insightful exploration of history’s 30 most influential popular revolutions and a cel-
ebration of people power—from Boudicca’s uprising in AD 60 to the Arab Spring of 2011
Popular revolution has forged global superpowers, shaken empires, brought a halt to op-
pression, upended social and political divisions, established the first independent black na-
tion, and given birth to legacies, ideologies, and revolutionary idols that have had a profound
impact on the state of today’s world. This book examines 30 of the most influential revo-
lutions from across history, and brings the story of revolution up to date with discussions
of major popular uprisings including the American, Russian, and French revolutions, and
a strong focus on contemporary events from the Color Revolutions of the mid-2000s to the
Arab Spring of 2011. Structured around six key themes, the book gives the story of each
revolution, its context, and its legacy. A perfect introduction to revolutions both for the read-
ers of military history and current affairs, as well as a younger readership inspired by the
revolutionary fervor of 2011, this is an original history of the world in revolt and an in-
sightful exploration of the compelling nature of people power.
Derry Nairn is a writer and contributor to History Today, where he was on the staff for a
number of years.

Libya
The History of Gaddafi’s Pariah State
John Oakes
How Libya evolved from Ottoman province to international pariah to seething cauldron
of rebellion under Gaddafi, updateed with information on Gaddafi’s death
Tracing Libya’s colorful history, this book details the events which shaped Gaddafi’s per-
sonality, the influences which molded his career, the security apparatus which kept him in
power, and the human rights violations he committed. When the oil-rich Kingdom of Libya
descended into corruption and irresolution, a young Libyan army officer named Muammar
Gaddafi seized power in a coup on September 1, 1969. Under his rule, Libya became a pariah
state, harboring terrorists from nearly every dissident group in the world and accumulat-
ing an enormous arsenal of lethal weaponry. The late Gaddafi was autocratic and cruel, and
his people finally rose up against him in February 2011—but how did he survive for so
long? This history is a story of Roman legions, Barbary pirates, slave traders, camel cara-
vans, and Ottoman Beys; of Italian colonists, Bedouin tribes, Texan oil barons, the Locker-
bie disaster, and mass murder in the Abu Salim jail. Most poignantly, it is the story of the
human cost of freeing Libya from Gaddafi.
John Oakes served in the Royal Air Force before becoming a teacher. He lived and worked
in Libya for eight years before the 1969 revolution.

Geek Nation
How Indian Science Is Taking Over the World
Angela Saini
A vivid, geeky travelogue of a journey to meet the inventors, engineers, and young scien-
tists helping to give birth to the world’s next scientific superpower—a nation built not on
conquest, oil, or minerals, but on the scientific ingenuity of its people
“Eye-opening. . . . Engagingly written and remarkably objective, Geek Nation shatters

many myths while not discouraging guarded optimism . . . first-rate reportage.”
—Independent
“Stories are presented as vivid vignettes gathered from all over the country, assembled
into a somewhat episodic travelogue . . . Geek Nation’s emphasis on personalities and
places provides an engaging introduction for those who want deeper understanding than
facts and figures alone can provide.” —New Scientist blog
One in six employed scientists with science or engineering doctorates in the U.S. is Asian, and
by the turn of the millennium, there were claims that a third of all engineers in Silicon Val-
ley were of Indian origin, with Indians running 750 of its tech companies. In this entertain-
ing exploration of India’s rise as a center of scientific excellence, Angela Saini delves inside
the psyche of the nation’s science-hungry citizens, explaining how ancient science is giving way to new, and how the technol-
ogy of the wealthy is passing on to the poor. She also explores why the government of the most religious country on earth has
put its faith in science and technology. Through witty, firsthand reportage and penetrative analysis, she explains what this means
for the rest of the world, and how a spiritual nation squares its soul with hard rationality. Full of curious, colorful characters
and gripping stories, it describes India through its people—a nation of “geeks.”
Angela Saini is a science journalist who has written for the BBC, the Economist, New Scientist, Science, and Wired, and has
been an invited speaker at Columbia University, Google, and Newswomen’s Club of New York. She was named European Young
Science Writer of the Year in 2009.

Eaten by a Giant Clam
Great Adventures in Natural Science
Joseph Cummins
The inspiring exploration stories of natural scientists in the field from
the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries
The history of natural science is often a case of truth being stranger
than fiction, as is evidenced by these 22 rollicking tales of men and
women risking life and limb in the name of science and the cause of
the broadening of human knowledge. Among the tales are Maria Sibylla
Merian, who, with her daughter, traveled to Surinam in 1699 to study
the life cycle of local spiders, plants, and moths; brilliant Swedish botanist
Carl Linnaeus and his travels in Lapland; Alexander von Humboldt and
his travels down the Amazon; fossil collector Mary Anning, who found
the first connected skeleton of an Ichthyosaurus; George Forrest, one
of the first explorers of China’s mountain ranges in Yunnan; and Roy
Chapman, the American paleontologist upon whom Indiana Jones is
based and who was the first to find dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert.
Joseph Cummins is the author of Anything for a Vote, History’s Great
Untold Stories, History’s Greatest Wars, Why Some Wars Never End, and

DNA and Social Networking
A Guide to Genealogy in the Twenty-First Century
Debbie Kennett
An easy-to-use guide to finding one’s ancestors with the latest in new technology and sci-
entific techniques—including blogs, web auctions, wikis, and YouTube
Presenting the future of family history, this up-to-date book offers a guide to using social net-
working, such as Facebook and Twitter, as a research tool and explains the facts and poten-
tial of DNA testing for the genealogist. Family history research has come a long way from
the local record office—now 21st-century scientific and technological developments have
changed the way people look into their family pasts, allowing them to delve further back. Many
tools which were not conceived with the genealogist in mind are increasingly being exploited
by family historians, either to advance their research or to network with other genealogists.
Many family historians struggle to cope with these new technologies and this book explains
how to use these new tools effectively.
Debbie Kennett is an editor, genealogist, and researcher who is well known in the field of DNA re-
search. She organizes two projects at Family Tree DNA and writes for many family history magazines.

Third edition
Bruce Durie
Authoritative, entertaining, and informative, this reader-friendly reference explains how
to get beyond the standard births, marriages, deaths, and census search and dig deeper
into genealogy
A comprehensive guide to tracing Scottish family history, this book is designed to exploit the
rich resources that the country with possibly the most complete and best-kept set of records

tans, Bruce Durie covers both physical and electronic sources, reminding the reader that there
are more routes to follow than just the internet, and that not everything written down is cor-
rect. Comparisons are made with records elsewhere, and all of the 28 million people through-
out the world who claim Scottish ancestry will find something here to help, challenge, and
stimulate. Complete with templates and methods which will enable family historians every-
where to exploit the resources available, this is the definitive reader-friendly guide to genealogy
and family history in Scotland.
Bruce Durie has written a number of regional history books, including Glasgow Past & Present and Kirkclady & East Fife.

The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister
Anne Lister
Edited by Helena Whitbread
“The Lister diaries are the Dead Sea Scrolls of lesbian history: they changed everything.
By resurrecting them and editing them with such loving attention and intelligence, He-
lena Whitbread has earned the gratitude of a whole generation.” —Emma Donoghue,
author, Room
“Engaging, revealing, at times simply astonishing . . . an indispensable read for anyone

interested in the history of gender, sexuality, and the intimate lives of women.”
—Sarah Waters, author, Fingersmith
“The diaries gave me courage.” —Jeanette Winterson, author, Written on the Body
The basis of the 2010 BBC movie The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister,
which has been shown in select LGBT film festivals in the U.S.
Anne Lister defied the role of womanhood seen in the novels of Jane Austen: she was bold,
fiercely independent, a landowner, industrialist, traveler, and a lesbian. She kept extensive
diaries of her life and loves, written partly in code. Made up of Greek letters mingled with
other symbols of her own devising, Anne referred to the code as her “crypthand,” and the
use of it allowed her the freedom to describe her intimate life in great detail. Her diaries
have been edited by Helena Whitbread, who spent years decoding and transcribing them.
Anne Lister (1791–1840) was an English landowner, industrialist, and diarist. Helena Whit-
bread is a historian.

Recollections of Oscar Wilde

Charles Ricketts
A highly personal memoir of Oscar Wilde, and a close copy of the 1932 original, which
was limited to 800 copies
Reprinted here for the first time since the limited edition of 1932, this is one of the most
evocative and touching biographies ever written about Oscar Wilde and the circles he moved
in. Charles Ricketts was one of his closest friends; he also worked on stage productions and
books with Wilde. Shortly before he died he wrote this account of his friendship with Wilde,
partly as an imagined conversation with a fictitious French writer, Jean Paul Raymond. It
was printed by one of the great book designers of the following generation, Francis Meynell.
This edition reproduces that original design, including the spectacular cover based by Rick-
etts on his designs for Salomé. An afterword by Matthew Sturgis puts the work in the con-
text of the 1880s and 1890s, of Wilde’s astonishing success and terrible downfall.
Charles Ricketts (1866–1931) was a painter, printmaker, publisher of fine books, and avant garde

The Lost Key
The Supranatural Secrets of the Freemasons
Robert Lomas
An author who is a physicist and a Freemason investigates the interface between the an-
cient, supernatural teachings of the Freemasons and modern science
Containing revelations that only an initiate of the highest orders of esoteric Freemasonry is
in a position to make, this book explains the truth behind the hints in Dan Brown’s The Lost
Symbol that Freemasonry is concerned with reawakening the hidden potentialities and pow-
ers of the human mind. It follows a candidate for initiation as he rises through the different
grades of initiation ceremonies, including the reenacting of an ancient murder from 3,000
years ago in full gory detail, lowering the candidate on the end of a rope into a dark vault
under the floor of the temple, holding a dagger to the candidate’s naked breast, and making
the candidate attend his own funeral. The author reveals secret teachings that are revealed
to high-level initiates, some of which involve astrology, angels, chakras, and the powers of
the mind to operate independently of the body. He explains why, rather than being dismissed
as superstitious, they should be seen as part of the strange, paradoxical world opened up by
the latest thinking in quantum physics, and this is why he prefers to call them “supranat-
ural.”
Robert Lomas is the author of Turning the Hiram Key, Turning the Solomon Key, and Turn-
ing the Templar Key, which comprise a trilogy investigating the traditional three keys of
Freemasonry. His other titles include Freemasonry and the Birth of Modern Science and The
Secret Science of Masonic Initiation. He has helped Dan Brown with research, and it has
been said that Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon character was based on him.

Witchcraft Out of the Shadows

A Complete History
Leo Ruickbie
A complete history of witchcraft from Ancient Greece to the present day, charting the
rise and development of witchcraft and the modern witchcraft religion of Wicca
Witchcraft is commonly spoken of in popular culture, but few know, or are even able to
guess at, its shadowy history. This in-depth investigation discovers how the ideas we have
about witchcraft took shape thousands of years ago in the myths and religions of the an-
cient world. It also looks at why these ideas were expressed so violently during the era of
the witch trials. Finally, it reveals how witchcraft has been transformed into one of the most
radical and fastest-growing religions—a religion of equality and compassion that still has
the power to unsettle even the bravest of newcomers. With new analyses, fresh insights, and
groundbreaking material drawn from the author’s research into the mysticism, magic, and
social meaning of Wicca, this is the first book to bring witchcraft fully out of the shadows.
Leo Ruickbie is an historian and sociologist of magic, witchcraft, and Wicca; and the au-
thor of Faustus.

Fire & Song
The Story of Luis de Carvajal and the Mexican Inquisition
Anna Lanyon
The tale of a Jewish martyr and his sister who died together in Mex-
ico City in 1596 explores his determination to never lose heart, and to
cling to his faith and cultural identity in the face of totalitarian oppression
“Lanyon has done her homework well. . . . Will be of much interest

to historians and general readers alike.” —Kirkus Reviews on Mal-
inche’s Conquest
“An intriguing story.” —New York Post on The New World of Mar-
tin Cortes
It is 1596 and in Mexico the Inquisition is at its most efficient. A young
man trembles in his cell as he prays for salvation, torn between the Chris-
tianity he was schooled in and his ancestral faith. What heresies will the
Holy Office uncover? Can he protect his mother and sisters?
He is Luis de Carvajal. His forbears had fled the Inquisition in Spain to
Portugal and then from there to the New World. But the lives they try to
rebuild as conversos in Mexico are just as perilous, for the Inquisition is
determined to root out heretics throughout its realms. Luis’s quest for true
faith unfolds a tense and moving narrative, as he and his family’s spirit
and ingenuity are tested again and again. This vivid history presents a world
without the human rights and tolerance we take for granted today; yet the
insights remain all too pertinent—insights into the power of faith, the tan-
gled knot of religious and political interests, and human yearning for iden-
tity, belonging, and spirituality.
Anna Lanyon teaches and translates Spanish, and is the author of Malinche’s
Conquest and The New World of Martin Cortes.

Excerpt:
That same afternoon the guileless Luis appeared before the inquisitors for the
first time. They began with the usual questions designed to establish his name
and place of birth.
“I am called Luis de Carvajal,” he replied. “I was born in the town of Benavente
in the kingdom of Castile. I am the son of Francisco Rodríquez de Matos who
was burned in effigy by this Holy Office and of doña Francisca de Carvajal,
his wife, who was reconciled for observance of the Law of Moses. I am thirty
years old and today is nine days since I was Arrested and placed in the secret
cells of this Holy Office.”
They asked whether he had been a prisoner of the Holy Office before and been
punished by it. They knew he had, but this too was a standard question. Malinche’s Conquest

Besieged Rhodes
A New History
Kelly Devries and Robert Douglas Smith
Retelling the historic sieges of Rhodes through the eyes of the soldiers, this study chal-
lenges and revises current thinking on siege warfare and the use of the cannon
Using eyewitness accounts, surviving guns, and extant walls, this book uniquely details
the story of two famous sieges, and the efforts made by the Hospitallers to adapt their
fortifications and artillery to defy the most powerful military power in the world. In doing
so it rewrites the history of fortifications and gunpowder artillery during the Renaissance.
In 1480 the Ottoman Turkish army and artillery that had defeated the Byzantine Empire
arrived on Rhodes to attack the walled headquarters of the Crusading military order, the
Knights Hospitaller. After a siege of three months during which time the Turks bombarded
the walls daily with gunpowder weapons they withdrew, defeated. In 1522 they returned
and, after a six-month siege, captured Rhodes but were unable to defeat the Hospitallers
who were allowed to leave with their lives, arms, and religious emblems.
Kelly Devries holds a PhD in medieval studies from the University of Toronto and is a
professor of history at Loyola University Maryland. He is the author of Joan of Arc: A
Military Leader. Robert Douglas Smith is a museum consultant.

Cromwell to Cromwell
Reformation to Civil War
John Schofield
How England became radical and revolutionary in the time between the Reformation
and the Civil War—with a reappraisal of Thomas Cromwell’s legacy and new approach
to causes of the Civil War
Following on from his biography of Thomas Cromwell, John Schofield examines how the
English character and the way it perceived royal rule changed between the time of Thomas
Cromwell and that of his great-great-grandnephew Oliver. The English reformers of the 1530s,
with Thomas Cromwell at their head, continued to have a strong belief in kingly rule and
authority, in contrast to their radical approach to the power of the pope and the Roman
Catholic Church. Resisting the king was tantamount to resisting God in their eyes, and even
on a matter of conscience the will of the king should prevail. Yet just more than 100 years
later, Charles I was called the “man of blood,” and Oliver Cromwell famously declared that
“we will cut off his head with the crown on it.” This history explores how the deferential
Reformation become a regicidal revolution.
John Schofield is the author of The Rise and Fall of Thomas Cromwell.

Another Life
Lawrence After Arabia
Andrew R. B. Simpson
Drawing on previously unpublished interviews with some of those who knew Lawrence
after Arabia, this book portrays the last years of one of the most astonishing figures of
the 20th century and settles the reasons for his untimely death
T. E. Lawrence found global recognition for his leadership of the Arab revolt during World
War I, harassing the Turks from Medina to Damascus and preparing the ground for the
final Allied offensive in 1918. He was hailed as a hero, but little is known about the life
of this mysterious and charismatic man after those events. This book is about his life after
Arabia. It surveys his service in the RAF and the Tank Corps as a mere ranker, and details
how he became an expert in the technology of the new RAF. It examines the work he did
for the 1929 Schneider Trophy Race, the development of the new RAF 200 seaplane ten-
der, and the development of its armor-plated offspring, the Armored Target Boat. It also
investigates his literary endeavors and his tragically early death, a sad end to a Renaissance
man of all talents, an academic, a talented engineer, and a soldier. He also was offered ex-
alted diplomatic positions by Churchill, implored by Nancy Astor to enter the fray as the
Nazi threat grew, and socialized with E. M. Forster, George Bernard Shaw, and the Clive-
den set.
Andrew R. B. Simpson first became interested in Lawrence in 1985 at the 50th anniver-
sary commemorations of T. E.’s death at Moreton, and 20 years of research followed. He
is a member of the T. E. Lawrence Society.

Who Is Roger Casement?

A New Perspective
Michael Laubscher
The controversial tale of the life of an extraordinary Irish revolutionary is brought to
life through the dispatches of a fictional journalist
Providing a balanced retelling of the Roger Casement story, this book gives readers insight
into a truly engaging and enigmatic character. Casement came to the public’s attention when
he became implicated in the preparations for the Easter Rising, but his story did not begin
there. Before Casement stepped into the limelight, he worked with the Foreign Office in Africa
and South America where he exposed the atrocities in the Congo and the Amazon, and waged
an outspoken campaign against British economic and political hegemony. This book fol-
lows the legal proceedings and related events, during the summer of 1916, as details emerge
about Casement’s involvement in the campaign to rid Ireland of British Rule. Readers will
find coverage of the trial testimony, related inquiries into events surrounding the insurrec-
tion, the conviction and sentencing, the follow-up legal appeal, the unsuccessful campaign
for clemency, and, finally, Casement’s execution at Pentonville Prison in August 1916.
Michael Laubscher is a former assistant dean at Pennsylvania State University. He lives in
Chesapeake, Virginia.

JFK in Ireland
Four Days That Changed a President
Ryan Tubridy
The fascinating story of the iconic president’s trip to Ireland
“In the manner of Woodward and Bernstein . . . [Tubridy] displays a surreptitious gift
for giving the foreground a fictive gloss in pursuit of the truth. Still pursuing the truth,
his authorial master stroke is a simple one. He balances the subjective prose eye with
the more distanced eye of the camera.” —Scotsman
“If anything can fully translate the euphoria engulfing this first official visit by a head
of state, it is the extensive and regularly beautiful archive photography that adorns the
pages.” —Independent
The idolized, handsome, and glamorous John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the great-grandson of
Irish immigrants and the first and only Irish-Catholic president of the United States. He rel-
ished his Irish heritage and in June 1963 made a memorable four-day trip to his homeland,
which he called the best four days of his life. Tragically, five months later he was assassi-
nated. This fully illustrated book reveals the huge effect JFK’s visit had on Ireland, a coun-
try that at the time was largely agrarian and extremely poor. It includes never-seen-before
photos of the president and private documents that reveal how the Irish rejoiced in having a president visit their shore. This book
evaluates whether the well-loved president, whose Camelot years some believe would have heralded a golden age, actually in-
spired Ireland to reinvent itself and instilled pride in the Irish people, or whether the myth of JFK just left behind an idyllic dream
of what could have been. This is a fascinating, unique, and insightful read from one of Ireland’s most popular personalities.
Ryan Tubridy is a television and radio host in Ireland, including hosting The Late Late Show, the world’s longest-running talk show.

Eyes Only
The Top Secret Correspondence Between Eisenhower and Marshall
Andrew Rawson
The war for Europe through the previously unpublished correspondence of Eisenhower
and his chief of staff, offering new insight into a key partnership of the U.S. military
Between December 1943 and November 1945, General George C. Marshall, chief of staff,
United States Army, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander, Allied Ex-
peditionary Forces, communicated through top-secret channels, their letters given the high-
est security rating—“Eyes Only.” These documents have remained unpublished, until now.
This correspondence which charts the war in Europe also reveals the true feelings of these
men, their most candid opinions on the progress of the campaign, the organization of SHAEF
headquarters, the planning for the invasion of the continent, and the day-to-day problems
which arose during the arduous engagements across France and into Germany. They also
cover the surrender negotiations with the Nazis and the Soviets, culminating in the huge
problem of rebuilding Europe, and give a unique insight into their attitudes towards the
statesmen, politicians, generals, and the press of the day. This is the story of the battle for
Europe in the words of those who fought it, day by day, as it happened.
Andrew Rawson has written numerous military history books, including Battle Story: Bat-
tle of the Bulge 1944–45, Battleground Europe: Walcheren, Bridge at Remagan, and The
Vietnam War Handbook.

Frontline
Reporting from the World’s Deadliest Places
David Loyn
Foreword by John Simpson
The larger-than-life story of Frontline TV News, a cooperative of independent journalists
responsible for some of the most memorable news images of the 1990s
“Stories rich in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas–like absurdity and outright danger . . .
fantastic . . . required reading.” —Soldier magazine
“A compelling tale of courage, cunning, and adventure. I was gripped by it.”
—Andy McNab, author, Bravo Two Zero
“The weight of the material that Loyn has gathered makes his book extremely valuable
given our current circumstances.” —Publishers Weekly on In Afghanistan
“If you are in a battle and you are filming, your adrenaline rises to a very high level. You can
get hooked on that. . . . You have to get in and get your pictures out. It’s a wonderful challenge.”
Remember turning on the television and seeing shots of rockets fired at night in the first Gulf
War, the first massacre victims in Kosovo, the U.S. bomb that killed women and children in
a bunker in Baghdad, and Mullah Omar declaring holy war for the Taliban? The men and
women at the Frontline news agency believed the public should see the true horrors of war and courageously went where other
news organizations feared to tread. Risking everything to show the truth, they traveled the world’s most dangerous places in a
quest to live life to the full, a quest some paid for with their lives, this is their story.
David Loyn is the author of In Afghanistan: Two Hundred Years of British, Russian and American Occupation. He is a foreign
correspondent for the BBC and has won major awards for both TV and radio reporting during 30 years in the field. He was the
only foreign journalist with the Taliban when they took Kabul in 1996, and has traveled with them on assignment since 9/11.
He was short-listed for an Orwell Prize for Frontline. John Simpson is the world affairs editor of BBC News.

Oranges & Sunshine

Margaret Humphreys
Now a major film, the book that exposed the incredible scandal of Britain’s forgotten
and abused child migrants
“A story that defies belief.” —Independent

In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a British social worker, investigated a woman’s claim that
at the age of four she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. At
first thinking it incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous
iceberg. Up to 150,000 children, some as young as three years old, had been deported from
children’s homes in Britain and shipped off to a “new life” in distant parts of the British
empire, right up until 1970. Many were told that their parents were dead, and parents often
believed that their children had been adopted in Britain. In fact, for many children it was
to be a life of horrendous physical and sexual abuse far away from everything they knew.
Here, Margaret reveals how she unraveled this shocking secret and how it became her mis-
sion to reunite these innocent and unwilling exiles with their families in Britain. This book
was originally published as Empty Cradles.
Margaret Humphreys is the director and founder of the Child Migrants Trust. For her serv-
ices on behalf of the child migrants, she was awarded the Order of Australia.

Stonehenge
Exploring the Greatest Stone Age Enigma
Mike Parker Pearson
A striking and original interpretation of the awe-inspiring Stone Age site from one of the
world’s foremost archaeologists on death and burial
“Fascinating. . . . The authors cover a sensitive topic with scientific precision and hon-
esty.” —School Library Journal on Earthly Remains
In lively and engaging prose, this book brings to life the imposing ancient monument that con-
tinues to fascinate, exploring the theory that the people of Durrington Walls built both Stone-
henge and Durrington Walls, and that the choice of stone for constructing Stonehenge has a
significance so far undiscovered—that the stone was used for monuments to the dead. Through
years of work at the site, the author and his team unearthed evidence of the Neolithic inhab-
itants and builders which connected the settlement at Durrington Walls with the henge, and
contextualized Stonehenge within the larger site complex, linked by the River Avon, as well as
in terms of its relationship with the rest of the British Isles. This book corrects previously er-
roneous chronology and dating; fills in gaps in knowledge about its people and how they lived;
identifies a previously unknown type of Neolithic building; discovers Bluestonehenge, a circle
of 25 blue stones from western Wales; and confirms what started as a hypothesis—that Stone-
henge was a place of the dead—through more than 64 cremation burials unearthed there, which
span the monument’s use during the third millennium BC.
Mike Parker Pearson is an archaeology professor, the author of Earthly Remains, and the
coauthor of If Stones Could Speak. He has carried out excavations in South Uist, Madagascar,
and at Durrington Walls as part of the Stonehenge Riverside Project and has appeared in the
National Geographic Channel documentary Stonehenge Decoded and in the NOVA episode
“Secrets of Stonehenge.”

Blood Cries Afar
The Forgotten Invasion of England 1216
Sean McGlynn
The first book on the important but overlooked French invasion of England in 1216, which
was almost a second Norman Conquest
History came within a hair’s breadth of repeating itself, 150 years after the Norman Con-
quest. In 1216, taking advantage of the turmoil created in England by King John’s inept
rule and the war over Magna Carta, Prince Louis of France and his army of mercenaries
and French soldiers invaded England and allied with 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 first 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 cam-
paigns, 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.

Britain’s 20 Worst Military Disasters

From the Roman Conquest to the Fall of Singapore
John Withington
Britain’s biggest military blunders and defeats throughout history, including Hastings,
Somme, and Singapore
Crecy, Agincourt, Blenheim, Trafalgar, Waterloo, El Alamein—war and history buffs know
plenty about the great British military victories, often won against the odds. But what of the
defeats and disasters, from Britain’s conquest by Roman armies to the fall of Singapore in
1942, described by Churchill as the “worst disaster” in their military history? This is the story
of those disasters, and the ones in between, from famous battles like Hastings and Yorktown,
to those that are less well known but had far-reaching consequences, such as Castillon. Oth-
ers, like the Battle of the Medway in 1667, were deeply shameful—”a dishonor never to be
wiped off”—but had relatively little long-term impact. Sometimes, a brilliant retreat helped
prevent an even greater calamity, as at Gallipoli and Dunkirk. This epic story follows British
armies and navies across the world to France, Africa, North and South America, and the Far
East. It is a tale of bungling, miscalculation, unpreparedness, and heroism.
John Withington is the author of Disaster!: A History of Earthquakes, Floods, Plagues, and
Other Catastrophes.

The Third Reich’s Celluloid War

Propaganda in Nazi Feature Films, Documentaries and Television
Ian Garden
Reveals the truth, the lies, the successes, and the failures of the Nazi propaganda film machine
Exposing the myths surrounding the propaganda films produced during the Third Reich,
this book counters the notions that the Nazis were infallible masters in the use of film prop-
aganda, that everything the Nazis said was a lie, and that only the Riefenstahl documen-
taries are significant to the modern viewer. It discusses the key films designed to arouse
hostility against the Nazis’ enemies, including anti-American films like The Emperor of
California and The Prodigal Son, the anti-British Ohm Krüger, anti-English films about
Ireland and Scotland, and their 1943 anticapitalist version of Titanic. With an analysis of
all the key films produced by the Nazi regime and a wealth of film stills, this book takes
the reader on a journey through the Nazi propaganda machine, and serves as a reminder
of the levels to which powerful regimes will stoop to achieve power and control.
Ian Garden has worked closely alongside the Frankfurt Film Museum and the Imperial War
Museum in London, producing translations and film summaries for them.

The Palace and the Bunker
Royal Resistance to Hitler
Frank Millard
A study of the role of German and Austrian royals in Hitler’s defeat
The part played by the many German and Austrian royal families in opposing Hitler has
hitherto been overlooked, and this history outlines many incredible instances of their in-
volvement. Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia was deeply involved in the German resistance
movement and was questioned by the Gestapo following the July 20 plot on Hitler’s life;
Otto von Habsburg, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was sentenced to death and es-
caped through Europe to America, where he helped coordinate attempts to liberate his home-
land; his Hohenberg cousins (children of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand) were incarcerated
in Dachau; Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria was exiled to Italy where he was pursued
by the SS—his wife and children were captured and sent to concentration camps; and the
exiled Prince Hubertus zu Löwenstein traveled between the U.S. and Britain assembling Ger-
man exiles into groups representing the real Germany, so that they could assume power when
Hitler was defeated. The sweeping away of German and Austrian monarchs in 1918 made
the rise of Hitler possible; and their successors helped make possible his defeat.
Frank Millard is an historian and journalist.

We Were Berliners
From Weimar to the Wall
Helmut Jacobitz, Charlotte Jacobitz, and Douglas Niles
One family’s personal story is combined with a popular history of Germany from the
1920s through the fall of communism
Helmut and Charlotte Jacobitz were born in Berlin during the mid-1920s. They experienced
depression and inflation, witnessed violence as fascists and communists vied for control of
Germany, and when the Nazis prevailed, they survived the 12 years of the Third Reich. Drafted
in 1943, Helmut was wounded fighting in Normandy. Charlotte, meanwhile, worked at the
Reichsbank and took shelter against frequent bombing raids. After the Russians surrounded
Berlin in April 1945, she witnessed firsthand the brutal battle for the city. The two young
Germans met each other after the war, Charlotte joining Helmut to smuggle food into Berlin
through the Russian blockade. The family finally immigrated to America, barely escaping
before the Berlin Wall sliced the city in half. This book blends personal memoir with a his-
torical primer about Berlin, the Nazis, and the Soviets.
Helmut and Charlotte Jacobitz now live in Los Angeles. Douglas Niles is an award-win-
ning designer of military and historical simulations and the author of more than 40 novels
including The Crown and the Sword, Lord of the Rose, and The Measure and the Truth.
He has designed numerous military simulations with an emphasis on World War II, and has
contributed many articles to historical anthologies. He lives in Delavan, Wisconsin.

Treblinka Survivor
The Life and Death of Hershl Sperling
Mark S. Smith
The story of a man who survived Treblinka, to be haunted by his memories for 50 years—
and ultimately, to be killed by them
“Extremely well written . . . an important and authentic historical account of one of

the great horrors of the Holocaust.” —www.seattlepi.com
More than 800,000 people entered Treblinka and fewer than 70 came out. Hershl Sperling
was one of them: he escaped. Why then, 50 years later, did he jump to his death from a
bridge in Scotland? The answer lies in a long-forgotten, published account of the Treblinka
death camp, written by Hershl Sperling himself in the months after liberation, discovered
in his briefcase after his suicide, and reproduced here for the first time. Including previ-
ously unpublished photographs, this book traces the life of a man who survived five con-
centration camps, and details what he had to do to achieve this. Hershl’s story, from his
childhood in a small Polish town to the bridge in faraway Scotland, is testament to the last-
ing torment of those very few who survived the Nazis’ most efficient and gruesome death
factory. The author personally follows in his subject’s footsteps from Klobuck, to Treblinka,
to Glasgow.
Mark S. Smith is an American journalist based in Scotland. He is the author of the novel

In the Lion’s Shadow

The Iranian Schindler and His Homeland in the Second World War
Fariborz Mokhtari
The astonishing story of a brave Iranian diplomat who saved many Jewish lives in World
War II—acutely relevant to Iranian-Israeli relations today
After the invasion of France in 1940 a junior Iranian diplomat, the aristocratic Abdol-Hos-
sein Sardari, found himself in charge of Iran’s legation in Paris, and set about cultivating
German and Vichy officials in order to protect the Iranian Jewish community in the coun-
try. He met the racial purity laws head-on, claiming that despite the fact that some Irani-
ans had followed the teachings of Moses for thousands of years, they had always been of
Iranian stock and therefore were “Mosaique” not “Juden”—this book includes the Nazi of-
ficial correspondence seeking “expert opinion” on this troublesome argument. Alongside
the dramatic and romantic narrative of Sardari’s life (he refused to abandon the Iranian Jews
in France even when recalled by his government and continued without pay) is the larger
picture of the betrayal of Iran’s neutrality by the Allies, then the eventual handing over of
Axis diplomats and citizens to the Soviets “to be interrogated severely.” The book argues
that contrary to accusations Iran did not favor the Nazis, and employs previously unpub-
lished archival documents to bolster that argument.
Fariborz Mokhtari was a political science professor at Norwich University in Vermont be-
fore joining the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies in Washington, DC in
2002. He has written numerous articles and policy documents including “Dealing with Al-
Qaeda” for American Foreign Policy Interests. He lives in Washington, DC.

Mission Accomplished
SOE and Italy 1943–1945
David Stafford
From the author of Endgame: 1945 comes the first ever complete and authoritative account
of Britain’s secret war—a potent mix of military history and clandestine derring-do behind
enemy lines
“Offers readers a sound judgment of SOE’s contribution to the liberation of Italy and a
gripping account of Britain’s secret war in Italy . . . Stafford vividly describes these mis-
sions with striking detail and telling quotes.” —BBC History Magazine
“A truly remarkable account . . . Stafford’s synthesis of new and old sources makes this
one of the best works to come out on this well-worn topic in many years. Highly recom-
mended.” —Library Journal on Roosevelt and Churchill
Based on recently released official files, documents retrieved from other agencies, diaries, mem-
oirs, and personal interviews, this first-ever, complete and authoritative account of Britain’s
secret war in Italy traces the heroic exploits, the larger-than-life participants, and the ex-
traordinary, against-the-odds achievements. In May 1945 Italy was liberated from Nazism and
Fascism by the British Eighth and American Fifth Armies. The Italian resistance movement
had emerged as one of the strongest in Europe, aided and abetted by the UK’s Special Operations Executive. As what Winston
Churchill graphically described as the “red-hot rake of the battle-line” advanced bloodily up the Italian peninsula, clandestine
cells in the cities and partisan bands in the countryside fought to free their country from enemy occupation and shape the pol-
itics of Italy’s postwar future. SOE in Italy, known as No. 1 Special Force, parachuted in dozens of missions to supply the un-
derground with weapons, ammunition, food, and supplies. In a remarkable twist it also secretly collaborated with its former
enemy, the Italian military intelligence service, and with the Italian navy, which used fast torpedo boats and rubber dinghies to
land British agents on heavily defended beaches.
David Stafford is the author of several books on intelligence history, including Endgame, 1945, Roosevelt and Churchill, and
Ten Days to D-Day.

The World at War

The Landmark Oral History from the Classic TV Series
Richard Holmes
The story of the war is told through the testimony of an incredible array of key partic-
ipants—from Hitler’s secretary to bomber pilot Jimmy Stewart
“Compelling.” —Library Journal
“The World at War was one of the greatest television series of all time. It demon-
strated the potential power of history on television and inspired a generation. It is
tremendously exciting that the complete interviews with the participants . . . are now
published here for the first time. Most of the people who were interviewed for the se-
ries are now dead, but their vital history—thanks to this book—still lives.”
—Laurence Rees, author, Auschwitz
The World at War was first broadcast by Thames Television in October
1973, when memories of World War II were still clear in people’s mind and
the war’s veterans were numerous. The unique television series assembled
these recollections over 26 one-hour shows. Produced by Sir Jeremy Isaacs,
narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier, and unforgettably scored by Carl Davis, it
was a seminal moment in the history of television documentaries.
The World at War was the definitive television work on World War II. First broadcast in 1973, it was a unique and irreplace-
able record since many of the eyewitnesses captured on film did not have long to live. The show’s producers committed hun-
dreds of interview-hours to tape in its creation, but only a fraction of that recorded material made it to the final cut. The well-known
names interviewed for the series include Albert Speer, Karl Wolff (Himmler’s adjutant), Traudl Junge (Hitler’s secretary), James
Stewart (USAAF bomber pilot and Hollywood star), Anthony Eden, John Colville (Parliamentary Private Secretary to Winston
Churchill), Averell Harriman (U.S. Ambassador to Russia), and Arthur “Bomber” Harris (Head of RAF Bomber Command).
Richard Holmes has skillfully woven this valuable original material into a compelling narrative, creating a truly phenomenal
oral history of World War II.
Richard Holmes was a British soldier and noted military historian. His books include In the Footsteps of Churchill, Sahib, and Tommy.

Two Flights to Victory
From the Doolittle Raid to the Enola Gay
David G. Styles
The story of the Doolittle Raid and Hiroshima—two air attacks that changed the world,
with new interviews with Doolittle Raid veterans
Using extensive research and previously unpublished information, this is an account of events
that transformed combat, as the long-range bomber emerged as the most important strate-
gic strike tool in modern warfare, and changed the political landscape of the 20th century.
As World War II drew to a close, the U.S. launched two air attacks that would secure vic-
tory and peace, but at a terrible cost. The only such attacks on Japan that were not part
of the overall battle plan, they changed the course of human history, and one man was in-
volved in both actions. Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle was the leader of the Doolit-
tle Raid in which 16 B-25 bombs struck at Tokyo and neighboring cities, forcing the
withdrawal of Japanese troops—the outcome was that the Allies never lost another battle
all the way to Japan. When it was deemed necessary to drop the atomic bomb, it was Doolit-
tle who put forward his 12th Air Force comrade Paul Tibbets, the pilot who flew the Enola
Gay with its deadly cargo to Hiroshima. This book presents the fascinating story of these
significant air attacks connected by one man, and reveals why they were developed apart
from the main Allied strategy and how the pilots were selected for their missions.
David G. Styles is the author of 18 books including Moto Guzzi and Volvo 1800. He was
a media representative at the 2002 Doolittle Raiders’ Reunion and the international cor-
respondent for the 2003 event.

British Flying Boats

Peter London
All makes and models of this unique form of aircraft with the ability to operate from
sea, river, and land
More than 100 types of British flying boats were built during a 40-year period from the
days of the pioneer airmen to the advent of the jet engine, and this history covers all of
them. Early attempts at flying from water were sometimes fraught, but during World War
I the practical military flying boat was steadily developed, serving with the Royal Naval
Air Service as an important component in the campaigns waged against the naval forces
of Imperial Germany—particularly her U-Boats. The interwar period witnessed the growth
in prominence of civil flying boats as commercial air routes became established worldwide.
Light civilian flying boats were produced for use by private owners and modest operators,
while the military flying boats of the RAF were many and varied. During World War II the
flying boat defended Britain’s sea routes around the globe with great success, and British
examples were also employed by many of the Allied nations. Yet after the war, the type
faded from widespread use and, despite resistance from enthusiasts, by the mid-1950s they
had all but disappeared.
Peter London has written six books on aviation history and contributes to the magazines
Aeromilitaria, Aeroplane Monthly, Air-Britain Digest, Air Enthusiast, Air International,
Air Pictorial, FlyPast, and Propliner. He is a former senior manager with British Aerospace.

Military, Naval and Civil Airships Since 1783
The History and the Development of the Dirigible Airship in Peace and War
Daniel George Ridley-Kitts, MBE
A comprehensive history of the development of the airship, appealing to the enthusiast
and general reader alike
Tracing the development of the airship, this book relates the struggles of the early pioneers,
from the Montgolfier brothers, and the parallel of the hydrogen balloon. Throughout the
19th century, “Aeronauts” learned the skill of aerial navigation, making long-lost distance
flights in an unfamiliar element. Attempts were made to control the direction of flight, first
by the use of steam, then by utilizing electrical power, and finally the petrol engine. From
1900, Count Zeppelin developed the rigid airship from a faltering experimental craft into
a potent war weapon. Between the wars it appeared that the giant passenger-carrying air-
ships offered the solution to long-distance air travel, but this dream proved illusory. In the
present age, airships are again being considered for new uses including airborne military
command posts and geostationary unmanned “Aerostats” harvesting the power of the “Jet-
stream” to provide an unlimited supply of electrical power for the planet.
Daniel George Ridley-Kitts, MBE served in the Royal Air Force and worked in the aviation
industry, as an architectural/engineering draughtsman, and in the North Sea oil industry.

Concorde Conspiracy
The Battle for American Skies
Graham M. Simons
An in-depth look at the political machinations involving the Concorde conspiracy, with
inside information from CIA records and JFK and LBJ presidential libraries
The story of Concorde and the American Supersonic Transport (SST) project is one of spies,
lies, arrogance, deceit, and presidential hatred. Americans were initially dismissive of Anglo-
French efforts, then seen as arrogant, believing other countries incapable of completing the
project. When President Kennedy said “Make it happen, make it bigger, make it faster,” he
might have added “make it to beat my presidential rival in France.” This the story of 10 years
of behind the scenes political intrigue, the author making use of inside information from two
U.S. presidents, the CIA, and the Federal Aviation Authority.
Graham Simons is an aviation writer and historian. His titles include Mosquito: The Orig-
inal Multi-Role Combat Aircraft and Valkyrie: The North American XB-70.

Artillery
A History
John Norris
A dynamic history showing the development and use of artillery since the first primitive
weapons of the 11th century
Through detailed research, John Norris has traced the development of artillery through the
ages and up to the dawn of the 21st century, to provide a fascinating study of this principal
weapon of warfare. From its earliest recorded use in battle about a millennium ago, up to the
recent Gulf War, Balkan, and Afghanistan conflicts, artillery has often been the deciding fac-
tor in battle; and yet its origins are somewhat vague. The Chinese had been working with gun-
powder since the 10th century, yet it was another 200 years before the compound was used to
propel a projectile from a long-barreled bamboo piece of apparatus. Not long after this, the
use of artillery spread to Europe and changed the art of warfare. This book traces the devel-
opment of artillery and its use in battle through the ages.
John Norris served for six years as a rifleman in the Grenadier Guards and is a military jour-
nalist. His other books include Mortars of World War II and Pistols at Dawn.

A Hymn for Eternity: The Story of Wallace Hartley,
Titanic Bandmaster
Yvonne Carroll
The life story of the leader of the band who played on as the Titanic went down
Yvonne Carroll has spent years researching the life story of Wallace Hartley, including con-
ducting interviews with remaining members of his family. The bravery of the band and their
leader playing “Nearer My God to Thee” as the ship went down is one of the most famous
stories relating to the Titanic. It is an endearing tale, and it comes out of the worst disaster to
happen to a British passenger liner. Who comprised the band? Who was Wallace Hartley and
where did he come from? Not much has been written about this enigmatic band leader or of
his part in the tragedy, beyond a few mentions in the many books on the disaster, but he was
one of the most important characters in the story of Titanic. Here, the author tells his story
and remembers this hero about whom so little has been known.
Yvonne Carroll is an amateur historian and Titanic enthusiast.

And the Band Played On . . .

Christopher Ward
The amazing true story of one of the band members who famously played as the Titanic
sank, written by his grandson
“Clever and touching . . . a moving homage to all of the men, women, and children
who heard the last music played on board the SS Titanic, and to the people they left
behind.” —Scotsman
“A heartbreaking story, wonderfully told.” —Julian Fellowes, screenwriter, Downton
Abbey and Gosford Park
On April 14, 1912, when the Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage and sank, more
than 1,500 passengers and crew lost their lives. As the order to abandon ship was given, the
orchestra took their instruments on deck and continued to play as the ship went down. The
violinist, 21-year-old Jock Hume, knew that his fiancée, Mary, was expecting their first child,
the author’s mother. A century later, Christopher Ward reveals a dramatic story of love, loss,
and betrayal, and the catastrophic impact of Jock’s death on two very different Scottish fam-
ilies. He paints a vivid portrait of an age in which class determined the way people lived—
and died. This outstanding piece of historical detective work is also a moving account of
how the author’s quest to learn more about his grandfather revealed the shocking truth about
a family he thought he knew, a truth that had been hidden for nearly 100 years.
Christopher Ward is the grandson of Jock Hume, who at 21 was the youngest member of
the Titanic’s orchestra. He is a former columnist for the Daily Mirror, former editor of the
Daily Express, and the chairman and cofounder of Redwood Publishing, Europe’s first cus-
tomer magazine agency.

Titanic
The Myths and Legacy of a Disaster
Roger Cartwright and June Cartwright
An exploration of why the legacy of the Titanic persists, in procedures, building regu-
lation, navigational practice, statues, poems, novels, movies, and even a musical
April 15, 2012, marks 100 years since the Titanic hit an iceberg and foundered in the North
Atlantic with the loss of 1,513 lives. She was certainly not the fastest passenger ship of the
time and had the disaster not occurred, she would have lost the title of the largest liner within
just two years—yet Titanic captures the imagination like no other. This book seeks to ex-
plore the myths and the truth about Titanic as well as the legacy that has made the ship so
well known. It discusses such questions as Why was she built? Who really owned her? Why
was nobody ever proved negligent? How has today’s transportation been made safer by
Titanic? and Have we really learned the right lessons?
Roger Cartwright and June Cartwright are maritime historians. Roger is the author of Cruise
America and the coauthor of Cruise Britannia.

Titanic or Olympic
Which Ship Sank?
Steve Hall and Bruce Beveridge
Debunking the theory that the sister ships swapped places, this book proves a switch
was not possible
Titanic’s older sister, the nearly identical Olympic, was involved in a serious accident in
September 1911, which may have made her a liability to her owners the White Star Line.
Since 1912 rumors of a conspiracy to switch the two in an elaborate insurance scam has
always loomed behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Could the White Star Line have re-
ally switched the Olympic with her near-identical sister in a ruse to intentionally sink their
mortally damaged flagship in April 1912 and cash in on the insurance policy? This book
addresses some of these conspiracy theories and illustrates both the questionable anom-
alies and hard technical facts that will prove the switch theory to be exactly what it is—
a mere legend.
Steve Hall and Bruce Beveridge set up the Titanic Research & Modeling Association and
are the coauthors of Titanic: The Ship Magnificent. Bruce Beveridge lives in Chicago.

The Unsinkable Titanic
The Triumph Behind a Disaster
Allen Gibson
Turning on its head history’s wrongful association of Titanic to a legacy of farce and
failure, this book underlines how safe the ship really was and investigates the era’s tech-
nology and mindset
Delving into the ship’s legacy, this history puts forward the refreshing argument that Titanic
represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. It determines the true causes
of the disaster, telling the story of the “unsinkable” ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous
and rapidly emerging technological world. It exposes the true interests of the people involved
in the operation, regulation, and investigation into Titanic, and lays bare the technology so
dramatically destroyed. Juxtaposing the dueling worlds of economics and safety, this study
rationalizes the mindset that willfully dispatched the world’s largest ship out to sea with a
deficient supply of lifeboats. Using original material, it explores not only how the sinking
occurred but also examines the significance and allure of Titanic as well as boldly estab-
lishing a future for the wreck itself.
Allen Gibson has worked for the House of Commons, the Foreign Office, Downing Street,
and the Underwater Wreck Licensing Branch for the Department of National Heritage, re-
sponsible for safeguarding Britain’s interest for Titanic.
Olympic, Titanic, Britannic

An Illustrated History of the Olympic Class Ships
Mark Chirnside
A pictorial celebration of the world-famous sister ships: the Olympic-
class liners
A maritime expert tells the story of the sister ships Titanic and Olympic
using previously unseen pictures, passenger diaries, and deck plans, illus-
trating Olympic’s successful career; the premature ends of her two unfor-
tunate sisters; and the experiences of those on board. Designed for
passenger comfort, they were intended to provide luxurious surroundings
and safe, reliable service rather than record-breaking speed. Ironically, fate
decreed that only Olympic would ever complete a single commercial voy-
age and she went on to serve for a quarter of a century in peace and war.
Titanic’s name would become infamous after she sank on her maiden voy-
age. The third sister, Britannic, saw a brief and commendable career as a
hospital ship during World War I, sinking in the Aegean Sea in 1916.
Mark Chirnside is the author of The Olympic Class Ships, RMS Aquitania,
RMS Majestic, and RMS Olympic.

Four Thousand Lives Lost
The Inquiries of Lord Mersey into the Sinking of the Titanic, The Empress
of Ireland, the Falaba and the Lusitania
Alastair Walker
A unique legal drama and an entirely new perspective on some of the most famous mar-
itime disasters in history
Over a period of four years, four ships were lost under different circumstances and 4,000
lives with them—but one thing links them all: it was John Charles Bigham, Lord Mersey,
who was appointed to head the inquiries into each disaster. Mersey is often referred to in
contemptuous terms in the many Titanic and Lusitania forums, as a “company man,” or a
government stooge. But is this the whole truth? In themselves these stories are as dramatic
as they come; everyone knows about the Titanic and the Lusitania, but the loss of 104 lives
aboard the Falaba when torpedoed by U28 in March 1915, is not so famous—and it really
was the preamble to U.S. entry into the war. Did Mersey produce a whitewash for the gov-
ernment in the Lusitania investigation, talking of two or three submarines lying in wait for
the Cunarder, telling the nation what it wanted to hear in contradiction of the evidence?
Was he biased against Captain Walter Lord of the Californian, the ship that failed to react
to the Titanic’s distress rockets?
Alastair Walker is a former committee member of the Ulster Titanic Society. He is a retired
educator and the author of several books and articles.
The Ship, the Lady and the Lake

The Extraordinary Life of a Victorian Steamship in the Andes
Meriel Larken
An extraordinary account of one woman’s single-minded campaign to restore a Victo-
rian steamship to her former glory and make her an Andean attraction
Here is a vivid account of Meriel Larken’s incredible quest to restore the Yavari steamship
against the odds—a ship that is now celebrating its 150-year anniversary in 2012. In 1862
the English-built Yavari was taken to bits and shipped to South America. In an epic logis-
tical feat it was carried in thousands of pieces, by mule, up the Andes to Lake Titicaca, 12,500
feet above sea level, the world’s highest navigable waterway. She was reconstructed and
for more than a century plied her trade up and down the lake, but by 1985 she was a sad
rotting hulk—until she was found by Larken, who led the quest to project to restore and
preserve the ship. The oldest single screw iron passenger ship in the world, this nautical and
engineering jewel is now a major Peruvian tourist attraction.
Meriel Larken is director and founder of the Yavari Project and holder of the Orden al Mer-
ito for services to numerous social projects through the Anglo-Peruvian Society, of which
she is the former chairperson. She is the former administrator of the Cusichaca Archaeo-
logical Project near Machu Picchu, and the founding chairperson of the Anglo-Latin Amer-
ican Foundation.

Shipwrecks of the Cunard Line
Sam Warwick and Mike Roussel
Foreword by John Chatterton
The first book dedicated to documenting and bringing to life the histo-
ries and wreck sites of Cunard shipwrecks, with a foreword from diving
legend John Chatteron
Providing a unique history and record of the final underwater resting places
of ships of the Cunard Line, whose rich history spans nearly two centuries,
this book charts the period from 1843 to 1974. The authors include a de-
tailed history of each vessel leading up to the time of its loss, including As-
cania, Alaunia, Aurania, Campania, Lusitania, Malta, Oregon, Scotia, and
Carpathia, famous for rescuing the survivors from the Titanic. Events sur-
rounding the wrecking of each vessel are thoroughly explored and unique
accounts are incorporated from divers who have explored the wreck, along
with never-before-published underwater images of the wrecks. Finishing off
with practical data for interested divers, this unusual history offers a fresh
analysis of maritime history.
Sam Warwick’s grandfather was first master of QE2, and his father was a master of QE2 and first master of QM2. Sam has
spent his life aboard Cunard vessels and developed a passion for the sea, which he has translated into wreck diving, logging
more than 1,000 dives. Mike Roussel is a teacher and has written two books on Southampton’s maritime history. John Chat-
terton is one of the world’s best known wreck divers. He was a cohost of the History Channel’s Deep Sea Detectives and is one
of the subjects of the book Shadow Divers. He lives in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

names, from Titanic to Mauretania, from Queen Elizabeth with a crew of just two could survive against the Luftwaffe

The Rolls-Royce Story

Reg Abbiss
The story behind the most iconic of cars,
and the eccentric people who own them
For generations, people have been intrigued by
the magic of the hand-built motor cars created
by the world’s most skilled craftsmen and
women. Their workmanship and world-class en-
gineering made Rolls-Royce the benchmark for
quality and excellence, such that the supreme
accolade for other products was to be described
as “the Rolls-Royce of.” Ironically, the company
that became the symbol of privilege and luxury
was founded by a self-taught engineer, Freder-
ick Henry Royce, son of a Lincolnshire farmer,
who started working at age 10 to help his wid-
owed mother make ends meet. Obsessed with
perfection in every task, he proclaimed that
“nothing is ever right or good enough,” yet he produced the finest motor cars the world had ever seen. Owners range from
royalty and billionaires to Hollywood stars and the just plain rich. They share one aim—to own the very best.
Reg Abbiss is an acclaimed news reporter whose past interviews include the Beatles, Muhammad Ali, Robert Kennedy, and sev-
eral British prime ministers. He was news anchor and reporter with Speedvision TV Network for three years, and was the spokesman
for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars International for 16 years. He is the author of Rolls-Royce from the Inside.

Ypres 1914–15
Will Fowler
The details behind Ypres—synonymous with the destruction, trench warfare, poison gas, and
military stalemate of WWI
Through narrative, eyewitness accounts, and images, this book explores the first and second bat-
tles of Ypres. A medieval town known for its textiles, Ypres became infamous during the Great
War with trench warfare, poison gas, and many thousands of casualties. As the German Army
advanced through Belgium, it failed to take the Ypres Salient. On October 13, 1914, German
troops entered Ypres. On looting the city, they retreated as the British Expeditionary Force ad-
vanced. On November 22, 1914, the Germans commenced a huge artillery barrage, killing many
civilians. In 1917, the Third Battle of Ypres commenced making it an exceptionally dangerous
place to live. In 1918, a German major offensive was launched, but the British held firm. Ypres
was finally safe in late September 1918 when German troops withdrew from the Salient. Today,
the battlefields of Ypres contain the resting place of thousands of German and British soldiers.
Will Fowler began a career in the early 1970s in journalism and publishing. In the early 1980s,
he was a researcher at the Royal United Services Institute, and in Whitehall closely involved in
the analysis and coverage of Operation Corporate in the Falklands campaign. Fowler is the au-
thor of more than 30 books covering military equipment and conflicts.

Gallipoli 1915
Peter Doyle
To the frontline and beyond, in one of the most resounding defeats of World War I
The Gallipoli campaign was in some ways the brainchild of First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston
Churchill, who saw an attack on the Dardanelles as a way to break through the stalemate in sup-
plying the Eastern Front. The preceding naval campaign led many to believe that victory was in-
evitable. However, increased losses at sea prompted the Allies to send ground troops to invade and
eliminate the Ottoman artillery. These ground forces comprised a large ANZAC (Australian and
New Zealand) contingent and Gallipoli would be their first major campaign in the war. They in-
vaded on April 25, 1915, landing on five stretches of beach in open boats. The first landing’s ca-
sualties were horrific—of the first 200 men out of the boats, only 21 reached inland, the rest were
mown down by the Ottoman machine guns. Throughout the campaign losses were severe, with
both sides suffering casualties in excess of 200,000 troops. Eventually the Allies were forced to
evacuate. The fallout from this disaster was felt in both military and political circles.
Peter Doyle is the author of nine works of military history, including The British Soldier of the
First World War and The British Soldier of the Second World War.

El Alamein 1942
Pier Paolo Battistelli
What happened and why at one of the most decisive World War II victories
The Second Battle of El Alamein marked a major turning point in the Western Desert Campaign
of World War II. El Alamein saw two of the greatest generals of the war pitted against each
other: Rommel and Montgomery. Through key profiles and a chapter devoted to the armies,
this book explores what made these men inspired leaders and what led to their respective de-
feat and victory. Montgomery’s success ensured that the Axis army was unable to occupy Egypt
and therefore gain control of the Suez Canal or the Middle Eastern oil fields, thereby prevent-
ing a major source of income and power for them. The background and impact of the battle
are explored in separate chapters, offering the reader a clear insight into why what happened
in this remote part Egypt was so central to the Allied cause.
Pier Paolo Battistelli is a scholar of German and Italian politics and strategy throughout World
War II. His titles include Erwin Rommel, Panzer Divisions, and Rommel’s Afrika Korps.

Arnhem 1944
Chris Brown
What truly happened at one of the most iconic battles of World War II
When we think of Arnhem we think of A Bridge Too Far and a sky full of parachutes dropping
the Allies into the Netherlands. Beyond these images, this was one of the most complex and strate-
gically important operations of the war. Operation Market Garden was devised to give the Al-
lies the opportunity to bypass the German Siegfried Line and attack the Ruhr. Paratroopers were
dropped into the Netherlands to secure all the bridgeheads and major routes along the proposed
Allied axis advance. Simultaneously the 1st Airborne Division, supported by the Glider Pilot
Regiment and Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade, landed at Arnhem. The British expected
to connect with the Arnhem force within a matter of days, but things on the ground proved very
different. The troops met resistance from pockets of SS soldiers and soon were overwhelmed.
The Arnhem contingent was cut off from reinforcement and eventually forced to withdraw. The
1st Airborne Division lost three-quarters of its strength in the operation and did not see battle
again. Through quotes and maps the text explores the unfolding action of the battle and puts
the reader on the front line.
Chris Brown is the author of Robert the Bruce: A Life Chronicled and William Wallace: The
True Story of Braveheart.

Iwo Jima 1945

Andrew Rawson
The full story of one of the bloodiest battles of the war in the Pacific
Operation Detachment, the invasion of Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945, was the first campaign
on Japanese soil and resulted in some of the fiercest fighting of the Pacific campaign. U. S. Marines
supported by the Navy and Air Force fought the Japanese both over and underground on the
island of volcanic ash, in a battle which was immortalized by the raising of the Stars and Stripes
above Mount Suribachi. It was a battle that the Japanese could not win but they were deter-
mined to die trying; of the 18,000-strong garrison, only 200 were taken prisoner. Americans
lost more in the 35-day battle, but at the end had possession of three airfields in range of the
Japanese mainland. This book gives a clear, concise account of those dramatic days in 1945,
supported by a time line of events and orders of battle.
Andrew Rawson has written numerous military history books, including Battle Story: Battle
of the Bulge 1944–45, Battleground Europe: Walcheren, Bridge at Remagan, and The Vietnam
War Handbook.

Still Life
Inside the Antarctic Huts of Scott and Shackleton
Photographs by Jane Ussher
Nigel Watson
A magnificent, hauntingly beautiful photographic study of the
Antarctic huts that served as expedition bases for explorations led
by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton
At the turn of the 20th century, Antarctic explorers set off from their
huts in search of adventure, science, and glory, while the huts were
left as time capsules of Edwardian life. The huts had never been the
subject of a thorough photographic survey until Jane Ussher was in-
vited by the Antarctic Heritage Trust to record “the unusual, the hid-
den and minutiae of these sites,” and this tome is the stunning result.
Seven gatefolds reveal wide-format photos, while intimate close-ups
explore the fascinating details in each small, gritty corner of the huts.
A portrait of King Edward VII hangs amid seal blubber, sides of mut-
ton, a jar of gherkins, penguin eggs, cufflinks, and darned trousers.
The executive director of the Trust provides a fascinating introduc-
tion to the history and atmosphere of each hut and detailed photo-
graphic captions. Diary excerpts from the explorers bring their time
in the huts to life, while a final chapter discusses the current work
to conserve the huts.
Jane Ussher is a portrait photographer, best known for the impressive
body of work she developed during 29 years as chief photographer at
the New Zealand Listener, New Zealand’s leading arts and current af-
fairs weekly magazine. Nigel Watson is the executive director of Antarc-
tic Heritage Trust, which cares for, among other heritage sites, the
expedition bases left by Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton in Antarc-
tica. He leads or participates in annual expeditions to Antarctica.

Captain Scott’s Invaluable Assistant Edgar Evans
Isobel Williams
The first biography of one of the lower-deck members of Scott’s fatal Antarctic expedition
Edgar Evans was described by Robert Falcon Scott as “a giant worker . . . an invaluable as-
sistant.” He explored more miles of Antarctica than any other member of the Terra Nova
Expedition, but his contribution has been largely overlooked because of the implication that,
as he was the first to die, he slowed up the progress of the return journey. This biography
corrects this false impression, as well as redresses the balance of the attention paid to the
upper- and lower-deck members of the expedition. Having joined the Royal Navy as a boy
sailor at the age of 15, Evans rose rapidly to the rank of chief petty officer, serving with a
young Scott on board HMS Majestic along the way. He took part in the Discovery Expe-
dition of 1901–04, and was awarded the Polar Medal on Scott’s recommendation.
Isobel Williams is the author of With Scott in the Antarctic.

Richard Crosbie: Pioneer of Balloon Flight
Bryan MacMahon
The dramatic story of Ireland’s first aeronaut, an impressive showman, including new
information on his time living in the U.S.
Richard Crosbie (1756–1824) is rightly celebrated as Ireland’s first aeronaut, and this book
tells the dramatic story of the intrepid scientist. Inspired by balloon experiments in France,
he constructed a hydrogen balloon with the aim of flying across the Irish Sea. A crowd of
20,000 people witnessed his first flight from Ranelagh Gardens, Dublin in January 1785.
He organized two further flights in Dublin and made a final flight from Limerick in 1786.
For his first flight, he wore satin and silk lined with fur, Moroccan boots, and a turban made
from leopard skin, while a cork jacket was part of his wardrobe for later flights. Crosbie’s
adventures and persona enthralled the public and won him the support of many influential
figures, but he never achieved his goal of crossing the Irish Sea. This biography reveals new
information about his subsequent career as an actor in New York, where he organized a
balloon spectacle for public entertainment in 1800, and includes a poignant account of his
final years living in poverty in Baltimore, Maryland.
Bryan MacMahon is a historian who has published several articles in Dublin Historical
Record, History Ireland, and The Irish Sword.

Mawson
And the Ice Men of the Heroic Age: Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen.
Peter FitzSimons
The incredible story of Australia’s most famous polar explorer and the giants from
the heroic age of polar exploration
Douglas Mawson, born in 1882 and knighted in 1914, was Australia’s greatest Antarc-
tic explorer. This is the incredible account of an expedition he led on December 2, 1911,
from Hobart, to explore the virgin frozen coastline below, 2000 miles of which had never
felt the tread of a human foot. After setting up main base at Cape Denision and west-
ern base on Queen Mary Land, he headed east on an extraordinary sledging trek with
his companions, Belgrave Ninnis and Dr. Xavier Mertz. After five weeks, tragedy struck—
Ninnis was swallowed whole by a snow-covered crevasse, and Mawson and Mertz re-
alized it was too dangerous to go on. Dwindling supplies forced them to kill their dogs
to feed the other dogs, at first, and then themselves. Hunger, sickness, and despair even-
tually got the better of Ninnis, and he succumbed to madness and then to death. Maw-
son found himself all alone, 160 miles from safety, with next to no food. This staggering
tale of his survival, against all odds, also masterfully interweaves the stories of the other
giants from the heroic age of polar exploration, to bring the jaw-dropping events of this
bygone era dazzlingly back to life.
Peter FitzSimons is a journalist with the Sun-Herald and the Sydney Morning Herald,
and the author of more than 20 books, including How Hemlines Predict the Economy.

A Voyage to Australia: Private Journal of James Bell

James Bell
A private firsthand account of one of the earliest voyages to South Australia—including
a mutiny requiring a detour to Rio de Janeiro, a storm involving the loss of sails, drunken
fights, and orgies
On November 19, 1838, 21-year-old James Bell set out in the sailing vessel the Planter from
St. Katharine Docks in London to travel to Adelaide, an infant colony half a world away
and not yet two years old. He left behind family, good friends, and the mysterious “C. P.,”
a young woman with whom he hoped one day to be reunited. The journey usually took 130
days, but due to the incompetence of the captain and the many misadventures encountered
it took the Planter almost six months to reach its destination. Along the way it lost a crew,
several passengers, and much livestock; it gained a new crew and at least one extra pas-
senger. The drunken brawls and licentious couplings horrified James Bell who, to while away
the time, penned a detailed account of all the comings and goings for the eyes of C. P. only,
sternly advising her that “it must never be read by a third party.” Sustained by his sense of
adventure, his love of poetry, his faith in his Presbyterian God, his nostalgic memories of
rural Scotland, and particularly by his affection for C. P., James Bell maintained a vivid and
astute record of his historic journey. His voice travels down to readers more than a century
and a half later, and reminds us of the dangers and joys of such an adventurous leap into
the unknown.
James Bell’s diary lay in obscurity for about 150 years and then was amazingly found on a
market stall and auctioned at Bonhams, where it was acquired by the State Library of South
Australia. He died a year after arrival in Adelaide, from a “brain infection.”

“Keneally evokes these distant lives with concrete detail and
vivid sympathy . . . his people inhabit the same world we do—
we meet them without the hesitation of reaching across voids
of time and space.” —Sydney Morning Herald on Australians
“Tom has this extraordinary eye for the little details that turn
a biographical note into a living, breathing, life-size character.”
—The Hon. Kevin Rudd MP, Prime Minister of Australia
on Australians
In the continuation of an impeccably researched, engagingly writ-
ten people’s history, this is the story of Australia through people from
all walks of life, from Eureka to Gallipoli. From the 1860s to the
great rifts wrought by World War I, an era commenced in which Aus-
tralian pursued glimmering visions: of equity in a promised land.
Immigrants and Aboriginal resistance figures, bushrangers and pas-
toralists, working men and pioneering women, artists and hard-nosed
radicals, politicians and soldiers all populate this richly drawn por-
trait of a vibrant land on the cusp of nationhood and social matu-
rity. This is truly a new history of Australia, by an author of
outstanding literary skill and experience, and whose own human-
ity permeates every page.

The Biggest Estate on Earth
How Aborigines Made Australia
Bill Gammage
Reveals the complex, country-wide systems of land management used by Aboriginal
people in presettlement Australia
Across Australia, early Europeans commented again and again that the land looked like
a park, with extensive grassy patches and pathways, open woodlands, and abundant
wildlife. Bill Gammage has discovered this was because Aboriginal people managed the
land in a far more systematic and scientific fashion than most people have ever real-
ized. For more than a decade, he has examined written and visual records of the Aus-
tralian landscape. He has uncovered an extraordinarily complex system of land
management using fire, the life cycles of native plants, and the natural flow of water to
ensure plentiful wildlife and plant foods throughout the year. Aboriginal people spent
far less time and effort than Europeans in securing food and shelter, and this book re-
veals how. Once Aboriginal people were no longer able to tend their country, it became
overgrown and vulnerable to the hugely damaging bushfires Australians now experi-
ence. With details of land-management strategies from around Australia, this book rewrites
the history of the continent, with huge implications for today.
Bill Gammage is a historian and the author of The Broken Years: Australian Soldiers in the Great War and Sky Travellers.

A book filled with killer sudoku, the most challenging of the sudoku variants
Some see it as the most pure form of number and logic puzzling: start with no numbers filled
in on the grid and use logic and simple addition to fill in all the numbers. The original rules of
sudoku apply: each column, row, and 9x9 box must contain the numbers one to nine only once.
