50 Strategies That Changed History
Daniel Smith
The greatest strategies ever developed for war, business, and politics.
Description
How did David, the future king of Israel, plot his assault against the seemingly invincible Philistine warrior Goliath? What
strategic thinking lay behind the military triumphs of Alexander the Great or Napoleon Bonaparte? When revolutionaries
organized to bring about the downfall of the autocratic Russian tsar, what keen intelligence laid the groundwork for their
achievement? Study the social media, as well as political, strategy that lay behind Barack Obama's historic election as US
President in 2008-and his re-election four years later. Investigate the bold moves, the cunning, and the hard-hitting plans
of action that brought triumph to economic giants such as Henry Ford or Bill Gates. Consider how the great strategists of
each age learnt from their forerunners as this most practically focused field of thought developed and changed.
In this thoroughly researched, superbly illustrated, and expertly written book the history of strategic thought comes vividly
and immediately to life through stories of 19 military, 14 political, and 17 business geniuses, exploring how strategy has
changed our world for better and for worse, and influenced every part of our daily lives.

50 Leaders Who Changed History
Charles Phillips
The greatest leaders in politics, religion, business, art and sciences.
Description
What qualities enabled George Washington-celebrated as the 'father of his country'-to lead a sometimes ramshackle
army to victory in the American Revolutionary War and then serve with distinction as the first US President in 1789-97?
How did Winston Churchill succeed in inspiring the British people in the darkest days of World War II, when the struggle
against the power of Nazi Germany might have seemed hopeless? What made Queen Elizabeth I-hailed as 'Gloriana' by
her people-such a triumphantly successful leader, who oversaw the defeat of the mighty Spanish Armada and the
flowering of literary geniuses such as William Shakespeare?
In the modern era, natural authority and honed leadership skills drove Martin Luther King Jr, Fidel Castro, Margaret
Thatcher, and Nelson Mandela to make history. The sports teams of British soccer manager Sir Alex Ferguson, baseball
coach John McGraw, and Vince Lombardi in American Football, galvanized by brilliant leadership, played on to
unprecedented success. While creative powerhouses such as William Morris and Pablo Picasso harnessed their huge
talents to change the way people saw the world.
Have the qualities needed by great leaders changed across centuries? How have the image of the leader and the concept
of leadership evolved? This gripping book combines the stories of great leaders' achievements with insightful analysis of
what inspired them to lead, and how they pursued and found success. Categorized into stories of 8 religious figureheads,
9 cultural visionaries, 15 military geniuses and 18 political leaders and social visionaries, here is history at its most
powerful- and most relevant.

1001 Ideas That Changed The Way We Think
Robert Arp
1001 Ideas That Changed The Way We Think is a comprehensive guide to the most interesting and
imaginative thoughts from the finest minds in history.
Description
Ranging from the ancient wisdom of Confucius and Plato to today's cutting-edge thinkers, 1001 Ideas That Changed The
Way We Think offers a wealth of stimulation and amusement for everyone with a curious mind.
Within the pages of this book you will find a wide variety of answers to the great, eternal questions: how was the universe
created and what is the place of humans within it? How should a person live? And how can we build a just society? 1001
Ideas That Changed The Way We Think also includes a host of hypotheses that are remarkable for their sheer
weirdness-from the concept of the transmigration of souls to parallel universes and the theoretical paradoxes of time
travel (what happens if you travel back in time and kill your own grandfather?). Discover how the Greek philosopher Zeno
'proved' a flying arrow never moves; how modern science has shown that a butterfly's wing can stir up an Atlantic storm;
and the mathematical proof of the existence of life in other galaxies. The inspirational ideas explored here range from
Gandhi's theory of civil disobedience to Henry David Thoreau's praise of the simple life and Mary Wollstonecraft's
groundbreaking advocacy of women's rights. The book also covers a wide variety of lifestyle concepts, such as 'rational
dress' and naturism, and cultural movements including Neoclassicism, Surrealism and Postmodernism.
Supported by a wealth of striking illustrations and illuminating quotations, 1001 Ideas That Changed The Way We Think is
both an in-depth history of ideas and a delightfully browsable source of entertainment.

and how it affects life on earth and everything in the Universe.
Description
A visual exploration of the power and behavior of light, across the electromagnetic spectrum, and how it affects life on
earth and everything in the Universe.
Light allows us to see everything around us, but humans can only see a sliver of all light, known as the electromagnetic
spectrum. Here, Kim Arcand and Megan Watzke present the subject of light as never before. Organised along the order
of the electromagnetic spectrum, each chapter focuses on a different type of light. From radio waves, harnessed for
telecommunications, to X- rays, which let us peer inside the human body and view areas around black holes in deep
space, Arcand and Watzke show us all the important ways light impacts us.
An introductory chapter describes what light is and how it behaves, while hundreds of full-colour photographs and
illustrations demonstrate concepts and make for a stunning book that's a joy to read and browse.

Ferguson
Jamie Jackson
A dramatic behind-the-scenes look at what it is like to manage Manchester United, one of the biggest football
clubs and international brands in the world.
Description
What does it feel like to follow in the footsteps of one of the most successful managers of all time and take control of one
of the most popular football teams and international brands in the world?
Starting with the arrival of David Moyes and his subsequent dismissal, and into the current era of Louis Van Gaal, as he
desperately tries to stamp his authority on the club, A Season in the Red is a unique, behind-the-scenes account of what
it's really like to be a top-level manager in the twenty-first century: how to cope with the demands of players, fans and
shareholders alike, how to adjust to having your every word, every choice, every move, analysed in the papers, online
and debated worldwide on social media. How, above all, to deal with the towering legacy of Sir Alex Ferguson, whose
presence is still felt in every corner of the stadium.
A Season in the Red is an utterly gripping and revelatory account of life at Old Trafford after Sir Alex, written by a
journalist with unrivalled access to his subject. It will appeal to Manchester United fans worldwide, and anyone who wants
to know what really happens behind football's closed doors.

The Debs of Bletchley Park
Michael Smith
The Debs of Bletchley Park will tell the stories of the women who worked at Bletchley, how they came to be
there, the lives they gave up to do 'their bit' for the war effort, and the part they played in the vital work of
'Station X'.
Description
For Winston Churchill the men and women at Bletchley Park were 'the geese the laid the golden eggs', providing
important intelligence that led to the Allied victory in the Second World War.
At the peak of Bletchley's success, a total of twelve thousand people worked there of whom more than eight thousand
were women. These included a former ballerina who helped to crack the Enigma Code; a debutante working for the
Admiralty with a direct line to Churchill; the convent girl who operated the Bombes, the top secret machines that tested
Enigma settings; and the German literature student whose codebreaking saved countless lives at D-Day.
All these women were essential cogs in a very large machine, yet their stories have been kept secret. In The Debs of
Bletchley Park author Michael Smith, trustee of Bletchley Park and chair of the Trust's Historical Advisory Committee, tells
their tale. Through interviews with the women themselves and unique access to the Bletchley Park archives, Smith
reveals how they came to be there, the lives they gave up to do 'their bit' for the war effort, and the part they played in the
vital work of 'Station X'.
They are an incredible set of women, and this is their story.

Description
Is conflict caused by an inherently hostile human nature? Are efforts to promote peaceful co-existence fated to fail? Is the
story of human history destined to play out a clash of civilizations, as tensions erupt and escalate around differences in
race, religion, culture and ethnicity? These are the questions framing contemporary debate over diversity, immigration,
and multiculturalism. The origins, progress and future of human evolution have been a focal point for scientists and
scholars seeking solutions to the world's most pervasive problems. Biologists, anthropologists, and sociologists have
developed theories to help us to understand, and address, the inherent hostility of human nature. But there has been one
noticeable absence in these scientific endeavours: a psychological analysis. This book provides a uniquely psychological
perspective on the origins of human nature, the evolution of conflict, and the possible futures for our culture and society. It
shows how neuroscience and evolution can help us guide political, cultural and social progress. The Social Brain provides
an entirely new perspective on the diversity debate: the idea that it is not simply a matter of what is right or wrong, but that
diversity is critical to our very survival as a civilization, and as a species. Diversity doesn't damage our economy: it is the
essential element that fuels creativity, innovation and growth. It was what triggered our intellectual evolution and
technological progress, and it will be integral to helping us tackle the most pressing social and economic concerns of our
time. The good news is that creativity is not some genetic quirk of nature or a God-given gift, bestowed on the lucky few.
Scientific studies have begun to reveal the anatomy of this ethereal skill. We now know a great deal about the
psychological processes that drive creative cognition, and most importantly, the conditions that enable it to be captured,
cultivated, developed and grown. This work provides a tantalizing insight in to the conditions that - if harnessed - could
help us all become a Hawking, Da Vinci, Branson or Jobs. This is a book inspired by the basic building blocks of human
cognition and one that promises wide-ranging impacts for science and society. It's a book about the scientific studies that
reveal a hitherto unappreciated, unexplored but absolutely critical component of the creativity puzzle - our social
relationships. All of this evidence suggests that to maximize individual and creative potential we must embrace diversity
both in our social and cultural relations and in our personal and professional lives.

Ten Physicists who Transformed our Understanding of Reality
Rhodri Evans and Brian Clegg
The intriguing lives and key works of the ten physicists who most profoundly transformed our understanding of
the physical world in which we live.
Description
Acclaimed popular-science writer Brian Clegg and astronomer Rhodri Evans give us a Top Ten list of physicists as the
central theme to build an exploration of the most exciting breakthroughs in physics, looking not just at the science, but
also the fascinating lives of the scientists themselves. The Top Ten are Isaac Newton, Niels Bohr, Galileo Galilei, Albert
Einstein, James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday, Marie Curie, Richard Feynman, Ernest Rutherford, Paul Dirac. Each of
these figures has made a huge contribution to physics. Some are household names, others more of a mystery, but in
each case there is an opportunity to combine a better understanding of the way that each of them has advanced our
knowledge of the universe with an exploration of their often unusual, always interesting lives. Whether we are with Curie,
patiently sorting through tons of pitchblende to isolate radium or feeling Bohr's frustration as once again Einstein attempts
to undermine quantum theory, the combination of science and biography humanizes these great figures of history and
makes the Physics itself more accessible.In exploring the way the list has been built the authors also put physics in its
place amongst the sciences and show how it combines an exploration of the deepest and most profound questions about
life and the universe with practical applications that have transformed our lives. The book is structured chronologically,
allowing readers to follow the development of scientific knowledge over more than 400 years, showing clearly how this
key group of individuals has fundamentally altered our understanding of the world around us.

Texts from Jane Eyre: And other conversations with your favourite
literary authors
Mallory Ortberg
What if the greatest characters in literary history all carried around smartphones and typed out messages to
each other? From the passive-aggressive to the clever, the strange, and the downright inappropriate,
magnificent Mallory Ortberg gets to grips with the literary assholes we love to hate.
Description
Mallory Ortberg presents.Texts from Jane Eyre is a whimsical collection of sharp, satirical and side-splittingly funny text
message conversations from your favourite literary characters. Of course if Scarlett O'Hara had an unlimited data plan,
she'd be sexting Ashley Wilkes at all hours; and if Mr Rochester could text Jane Eyre, his ARDENT MISSIVES would be
in ALL-CAPS; and Daisy Buchanan would text you from behind the wheel - and then text you to come pick her up after
the car crash. Texts from Jane Eyre is a witty, original and very clever kind of mashup that brings your favourite authors
and literary characters right into the twenty-first century.Mallory Ortberg is a genius.
'I'm not sure what's more impressive - the ferocity of Mallory Ortberg's intelligence or the ferocity of her wit. Texts from
Jane Eyre is uncanny in its sly humor and still, there is much in these pages that is familiar. Ortberg takes some of the
greatest literary characters (and a few lesser ones), and offers us an entirely new and thrilling way of thinking about them
and what they might be like in this dazzling digital age.' - Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist

Fly Fishing For Salmon: Comprehensive Guidance for Beginners and
the More Experienced
Allan Sefton
This is the only book available that provides clear, up-to-date and comprehensive guidance for all whether they
are an absolute beginner, an 'improver' or an old hand.
Description
Taking up salmon fly fishing is surprisingly difficult if you have not got lots of help and encouragement even if you fish for
other species. There are many barriers; wilderness locations, cost, jargon and all the technical problems involving tackle
and technique. The purpose of this book is to break all those barriers down. It will explain clearly what the absolute
beginner needs to know. It will help solve the technical problems and common faults faced by 'improvers' and those
advancing from trout fly fishing and other disciplines. Many experienced anglers are confused by some modern
techniques and this guidance will get them right up to date.
About the Author
Allan Sefton has successfully chased many species of fish from the Falkland Islands via equatorial Pacific Islands to the
Arctic Circle. But, his favourite fish are Atlantic salmon and his favoured destination is Scotland. He gets great pleasure
from introducing others to the joys of fly fishing and has worked with others to coach and encourage the Angling Trust's
Team England Youth Fly Fishing. Allan's first book Getting Started at Fly Fishing for Trout was published in 2013 because
so many of his clients asked for a book that made sense to absolute beginners who had never held a fishing rod before.

Overcoming Hoarding: A Self-Help Guide Using Cognitive Behavioural
Techniques
Satwant Singh, Margaret Hooper and Colin Jones
Fills an important gap for a dedicated book on hoarding disorder, and uses CBT tools to help people recover,
and reclaim their space and their life.
Description
Hoarding is a condition where a person has a tendency to collect and save things excessively and has difficulty in getting
rid of items. This results in a cluttered living space and often causes distress and impairs the person from being able to
fully function in their home. It's a common condition that affects 2-5% of the population and has far-reaching
consequences for sufferers, family, friends and the wider community, together with potential health and safety
implications, with increased risk of injury or vermin. There has been increasing interest in the media which has raised
public awareness of this problem, but there has been very little literature aimed at helping hoarders until now.
There is no one reason why individuals hoard. For some, the hoarding behaviours are a way of coping with an emotional
trauma. For others, there may be a strong attachment to certain objects, or a belief that certain materials have value such as books, magazines and newspapers. Hoarding behaviour can also be a learnt behaviour from growing up in a
cluttered environment. Sometimes unusual items or objects are hoarded including faeces and urine.
Hoarding is a common condition but little is known about it. Almost everyone has some hoarding traits but these may not
manifest themselves to the extent that it causes disruption to a person's life and space. The true prevalence of hoarding is
not clear however it appears to be a growing problem. With the increased attention that hoarding is getting more people
are beginning to recognize that they may have a problem.

I'll Tell You What
Robbie Savage
The autobiography of Robbie Savage, one of British football's most recognisable figures.
Description
Robbie Savage is one of Britain's most recognisable football pundits. Incisive, forthright and bold, Savage never holds
back where the beautiful game is concerned. No Premier League footballer has ever divided opinion quite like Robbie
Savage. Mr Marmite, as he w as often know n (among other things), rampaged his way through almost 350 games in the
Premier League and along the way picked up more yellow cards than Gary Lineker has crisps and more enemies than
Joey Barton and Neil Warnock put together.
In his explosive new book, I'll Tell You What, Savage lifts the lid on all aspects of the modern game. Managers, players,
the Premiership, the European game, the FA Cup, kids' football, and pushy football parents are just a few of the topics
that Savage takes on in his inimitable provocative style. Robbie Savage's straight-talking common sense is only the start
of it. I'll Tell You What is a modern-day guide to life, and should be read by anyone who has an interest in anything at all,
especially football. Few may actually agree with him, but everyone listens.
About the Author
Dubbed Mr Marmite, Robbie Savage is one of British football's most recognisable figures, following a high-profile 18season career. After his retirement in 2011, Robbie has carved a successful media career across radio, TV and new
spapers, gaining further respect for his forthright opinions on the issues that matter in today's footballing world.

100 Things to Draw With a Triangle: Start with a Shape, Doodle what
you See
Sarah Walsh
Sarah Walsh illustrates 112 pages of art prompts and inspiration based on one simple geometric shape, a
triangle.
Description
What comes to mind when you think of a triangle? Depending on its size, it could be a pyramid, a clown's hat, a slice of
pie, a bird's beak. What if there are lots of triangles on a page? Depending on how they're placed, they might suggest a
mountain range or a tent encampment, a pine tree farm, or a schooner's sails. It all depends on who is doing the looking.
100 Ways to Draw a Triangle is a doodling book that loosens the imagination, and inspires creative thought. Triangles
and other basic geometric shapes are at the core of art, they're the structures where form and drawing begin.
In this book, illustrator Sarah Walsh provides you with triangles that appear as prompts on every page: one or many, large
and small, colourful or not, sprouting from the bottom or tumbling from the top -- you fill in the rest. If one triangle suggests
the roof of a house, you might add just the doors and windows, or draw the entire town. If a row of triangles looks like
waves, you might draw a fantasy seascape or simply add a lonely seagull or a swimmer in mid-crawl. Abstract or realistic,
minimal or over-the-top, there are no wrong choices in this book -- and you don't have to be a master at drawing. Pick up
your pencil, see what the shapes suggest and where your imagination leads you.
About the Author
Sarah Walsh is a Kansas City based artist and illustrator. She's inspired by animals, magical creatures, coffee, music, a
good story, her friends and family, bravery, vintage children's books, folk art and mid century anything. She is the
author/illustrator of three Just Add Color titles from Rockport: Circus, Carnival, and Day of the Dead.

Paradise And Plenty
Gregory Long, Mary Keen and Tom Hatton
A stunning exploration of the Rothschild's private garden and best kept secret, a world beyond most
gardeners' dreams!
Description
The productive garden at Lord Rothschild's private house, Eythrope in Buckinghamshire, is legendary in the gaden world
for the excellence of the gardening and as a haven for traditional techniques that might otherwise be lost. Under the
leadership of the renowned head gardener Sue Dickinson, this garden works on a scale that is now unique, producing,
year-round, all the fruit, vegetables and flowers for a country house where entertaining still happens on a grand sale and
where everything is done to the highest standards.
Paradise and Plenty, an in-depth exploration of the garden, will open a window on a garden that has always, until now,
been kept intensely private, and a world beyond most gardeners' dreams. But in this book everything shown is useful as
well as beautiful. Gregory Long of the New York Botanic Garden points out in his introduction to the book that as more
and more people turn to growing their own, books are needed that show the techniques of dedicated cultivation, as well
as the results. Many of the techniques used at Eythrope are old and tried, but have fallen out of use almost everywhere
else. In the words of the author, 'This book has to be how as well as wow.'

Calvin Harris - The $100 Million DJ
Douglas Wight
He's worth $100 million, is the richest DJ in the world and has worked with all of the top names in pop. But just
who is Calvin Harris?
Description
Fiercely private and suspicious of press intrusion, Calvin Harris has come a long way since the days when he was simply
humble Adam Wiles, stacking shelves in a supermarket in his native Dumfries. Since bursting onto the music scene with
'Acceptable in the 80s' in 2007, he has broken Michael Jackson's record for most hits from one album, become the first
British artist to to have one billion plays on Spotify and turned hit-maker for stars like Kylie Minogue, Rihanna, Cheryl Cole
and Dizzie Rascal.
In 2014, Forbes listed Calvin Harris as the world's highest paid DJ for the second year running and he has just scored his
fifth number one hit - and his third this year. But what makes this Scot with the Midas touch tick? From where does he
draw his inspiration and what makes him the globe's most desirable DJ? Calvin Harris: The $100 Million DJ is the first
definitive biography of the chart-topping sensation, charting Harris's astonishing journey from struggling musician to
international superstar. Probing deep into the singer's background and following his remarkable rise to fame, it promises
to reveal a side to the star never seen before.

Fallen Glory
James Crawford
The lives and deaths of twenty lost buildings from the Tower of Babel to the Twin Towers.
Description
Buildings are just like us. They can be born into wealth or poverty; enjoying every privilege or struggling to make ends
meet. They have parents gods, kings, emperors, governments, visionaries and madmen and friends and enemies. They
have jobs, duties and responsibilities. They can endure crises of faith and purpose. They can succeed and fail. They can
live. And they can die.
Moving from the very beginnings of civilisation, right up to the digital horizons of cyberspace, Jamie Crawford pieces
together the biographies of twenty of the world's most fascinating lost and ruined structures. The lives of these buildings
are packed with drama and intrigue, soap operas combining war and religion, politics and art, love and betrayal,
catastrophe and hope. They are also the stage for a startling array of characters including Gilgamesh, the Cretan
Minotaur, Agamemnon, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Henry VIII, Catherine the Great, Adolf Hitler and even Bruce
Springsteen.
Travelling from the deserts of Iraq, the banks of the Nile, the grasslands of the Mongolian steppes and the cloud forests of
Peru, to the great cities of Jerusalem, Istanbul, Paris, Rome, London and New York, Fallen Glory is a unique,
globetrotting guide to a world of vanished architecture. And, by picking through the fragments of our past, it asks what
history's scattered ruins can tell us about our own future.

The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper Stories: 40 dark new tales
edited by Maxim Jakubowski
An extraordinary collection of fictional explorations, all original, of Jack the Ripper by a truly diverse array of
leading writers.
Description
In this wonderful collection of brand-new stories, Jakubowski has compiled an extraordinary array of explorations into the
identity of Jack the Ripper - this time unabashedly fictional, unrestrained by history and the known facts.
Contributors include Carol Anne Davis, Martin Edwards, Richard Godwin, Michael Gregorio, Peter Guttridge, Rhys
Hughes, Barbara Nadel and Sally Spedding.
'Jack the Ripper' has appeared in a number of novels, as the lead character in some, beginning with Marie Belloc
Lowndes's The Lodger (1913), filmed by Hitchcock. Authors as diverse as Michael Dibdin, Lindsay Faye, Philip Jose
Farmer, Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison, Alan Moore, Fredric Brown, Ramsey Campbell and Colin Wilson have all used
poetic licence to 'revive' the notorious killer.
The varied stories in this fantastic new collection continue this tradition with many possible identities put forward, some
already suggested by historians, others more speculative, including famous names from history and fiction. Even
Sherlock Holmes is on the case!

Radiance
Catherynne M. Valente
Cat Valente's first adult novel in more than three years - a decopunk pulp SF alt-history space opera mystery
set in a Hollywood, and solar system, very different from our own .
Description
Severin Unck is the headstrong young daughter of a world famous film director. She has inherited her father's love of the
big screen but not his exuberant gothic style of filmmaking. Instead, Severin makes documentaries, artful and passionate
and even rather brave - for she is a realist in a fantastic alternate universe, in which Hollywood occupies the moon, Mars
is rife with lawless saloons, and the solar system contains all manner of creatures, cults and colonies.
For Severin's latest project she leads her crew to the watery planet of Venus to investigate the disappearance of a diving
colony there. But something goes wrong during the course of their investigations; and her crew limp home without her.
All that remains of Severin are fragments. Can these snippets of scenes and shots, voices and memories, pages and
recordings be collected and pieced together to tell the story of her life - and shed light on the mystery of her vanishing?
Clever, dreamy, strange and beautifully written - Radiance is a novel about how stories give form to worlds.
About the Author
Catherynne Valent'es first major novel, The Orphan's Tales, won the James Tiptree Jr. Award and was nominated for the
World Fantasy Award. Her next, Palimpsest, was nominated for the Hugo Award, and her recent YA phenomenon The
Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making is a New York Times bestseller that earned starred
reviews from all three major review outlets. Valente lives on a small island off the coast of Maine with her partner, two
dogs, and a cat.

The Redeemers
Ace Atkins
The electrifying new novel in New York Times bestselling author Ace Atkins's acclaimed series about the real
Deep South.
Description
He is only in his early thirties, but now Quinn Colson is jobless - voted out of office as sheriff of Tibbehah County,
Mississippi, thanks to the machinations of county kingpin Johnny Stagg. He has offers, in bigger and better places, but
before he goes, he's got one more job to do - bring down Stagg's criminal operations for good.
At least that's the plan. But in the middle of the long, hot summer, a trio of criminals stage a bold, wall-smashing break-in
at the home of a local lumber mill owner, making off with a million dollars in cash from his safe, which is curious, because
the mill owner is wealthy - but not that wealthy. None of this has anything to do with Colson, but during the investigation,
two men are killed, one of them the new sheriff. His friend, acting sheriff Lillie Virgil, and a dangerous former flame, Anna
Lee Stevens, both ask him to step in, and reluctantly he does, only to discover that that safe contained more than just
money - it held secrets.
Secrets that could either save Colson - or destroy him once and for all.

The Town in Bloom
Dodie Smith
A delightful re-issue from the author of I Capture the Castle.
Description
A determined young Lancashire girl arrives in London intent on a stage career - this tale from the author of I Capture the
Castle is told with the candour and authenticity that derives from Dodie Smith's own experience of the theatre world.
Mouse never did fully suit her nickname. Tiny she may have been, but timid never. After less than twenty-four hours in
London she had bluffed her way into an audition at a famous theatre, infuriated its forceful young stage director, and
amused its kind if quite amoral actor-manager. She had finally landed not a part but a toehold as a junior secretary.
During her involvement in the engrossing affairs of the Crossway Theatre she met her friends Molly, a baby-faced sixfooter; and elegant, ambitious Lilian, who was fated to clash disastrously with Mouse. Later, there was also Zelle, rich,
generous, enigmatic, and responsible for an outing to Suffolk village pageant which proved a turning point for them all.
Life was always surprising the fearless Mouse: when she unexpectedly got to a chance to act she made an unforgettable
impression, though not the one she had intended. However, nothing prepared her for the assault of first love, highly
unsuitable, but welcomed by her in a way which was to have far-reaching consequences.
Only when she looks back after a reunion luncheon does she realise the full effects of that shared summer on her friends
and herself. A startlingly frank yet nostalgic read, this is a charming novel about coming of age and the healing effects of
time.

Princess Michael of Kent
The eagerly-anticipated third novel in HRH Princess Michael of Kent's Anjou Trilogy.
Description
From HRH Princess Michael of Kent, bestselling author of The Queen of Four Kingdoms, comes the eagerly-anticipated
third volume in the Anjou trilogy.
The final volume of the Anjou trilogy focuses on merchant Jacques Coeur, a man of humble beginnings but fiercely
ambitious, who became one of the richest and most powerful men in fifteenth century France. HRH Princess Michael of
Kent vividly re-enacts the life of Jacques Coeur as he becomes trusted confidante and champion of the Anjou royal
family, particularly of his beloved patroness Yolande, Queen of the Four Kingdoms, and, of course, the beautiful and
captivating Agnes Sorel who Jacques comes to know and understand as a friend. As Jacques's star shines brighter and
brighter, his story runs parallel to that of Yolande and Agnes Sorel until the three interlink in devastating fashion and
Jacques's ambition and generosity become his downfall. Meticulously researched and powerfully evoked, HRH Princess
Michael of Kent unveils a seldom told story, enriched by her own insider's perspective of royal life.

Rivals for the Love of a Renaissance King, Crowned in a Far Country: Portraits of Eight Royal Brides and Cupid and the

Tasha Alexander
A Lady Emily mystery
Description
Paris - the city of romance - where Lady Emily struggles to unmask a murderer amid a case of assumed identities and
shadowy figures.
After an odd encounter at a grand masquerade ball, Lady Emily becomes embroiled in the murder investigation of one of
the guests, a sometime actress trying to pass herself off as the mysterious heiress and world traveller Estella Lamar.
Each small discovery, however, leads to more questions. Was the intended victim Miss Lamar or the imposter? And who
would want either of them dead?
As Emily and her husband try to make sense of all this, a larger puzzle begins to emerge: No one has actually seen
Estella Lamar in years, since her only contact has been through letters and the occasional blurry news photograph. Is she
even alive? Emily's investigation of this double mystery takes her from London to Paris, where, along with their friend
Cecile, she must scour the darkest corners of the city in search of the truth.

The Third Sin
Aline Templeton
The latest instalment in the gripping, DI Marjory Fleming police procedural series.
Description
Pleasure, not happiness, is the highest good: the group who called themselves the Cyrenaics practised the principle until
the death of one from an overdose and the apparent suicide of another. Sobered, the group went their several ways. One
heads to Canada, another disappears and a third is believed to have committed suicide, at least until his body turns up
two years later in the wreck of a car swept up on to the Solway mud flats. The murky relationships among the Cyrenaics,
revived when they start returning for a party celebrating the Scottish Year of Homecoming, bring more pain and death. DI
Marjory Fleming, called in to help another force with its murder enquiry, finds this, and the murder which follows on her
own patch, obstructed by the unpleasant and resentful inspector she has been asked to direct, and DC Hepburn and DS
Macdonald, still at loggerheads, don't make it any easier. Fleming's daughter has a new boyfriend to whom police are an
anathema and though Cammie at last achieves his Scotland cap, he too is in trouble with the affairs of the heart.

A local dignitary is hosting a lavish party at his country house on the outskirts of Cali, Colombia. He observes from afar as
his staff prepare the grounds to his liking - the maids carefully arrange the lawn furniture, the chefs plate the oysters and
caviar with precision, and the security guards stand poised. Everything is ready when his guests begin to arrive. But, as
the sun begins to go down, a sense of unease hangs over the cheerful revelry. His daughter is missing, the resident
spider monkey is threatening chaos, and, unbeknownst to our host, a group of nefarious uninvited guests closely watch
his every move.
About the Author
Julianne Pachico grew up in Colombia and now lives in Norwich, where she is completing her PhD in Creative and Critical

The Inland Sea
KJ Orr
Early one morning, two boys set out across a frozen lake. This beautifully told story is a small and finelywrought epic set in a remote part of Russia. A deeply touching tale of brotherhood, bravery, and the wild
dreams of childhood.
Description
On the far side the lake is divided from the hills by a slash of soft pink that arrived with the dawn.
They set out, stepping over a yawning crack where the ice has buckled. All along the shore line the lake has twisted,
churning the ice into contortions which it has thrown up and aside, forming banks of frozen rubble softened only by fresh
snowfall. Ahead of them the ice smoothes out, leaving its fretted edges behind, coursing towards the other side.
They would normally carry their father's bore, or fishing rods, or both, but their hands are empty. Having made their
decision they had wrapped themselves up with every layer they could find. Yet still they are lung-punched, speechless for
now with the cold.
It is so early that the last of the stars are still out. The morning is clear. Pyotr imagines them seen from the hillside up
above the village behind two dark figures against all that white. He had once climbed up there with his father and they had
looked out from maybe a thousand metres up, and he had seen the tiny, matchbox houses below and the people,

She Who Was No More
Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac
A murdered spouse returns from the dead in this classic thriller.
Description
Every Saturday evening, travelling salesman Ferdinand Ravinel returns to his wife, Mireille, who waits patiently for him at
home. But Ferdinand has another lover, Lucienne, an ambitious doctor, and together the adulterers have devised a
murderous plan. Drugging Mireille, the pair drown her in a bathtub, but in the morning, before the accidental death can be
discovered, the corpse is gone. So begins the unraveling of Ferdinand's plot, and his sanity.This classic of French noir
fiction was adapted for the screen by Henri-Georges Clouzot as Les Diaboliques (The Devils), starring Simone Signoret
and Vera Clouzot, the film which in turn inspired Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho'. A second movie version, 'Diabolique',
followed in 1996, starring Sharon Stone.
About the Author
Boileau-Narcejac is the nom-de-plume of Pierre Boileau (1906-89) and Thomas Narcejac (1908-98), one of France's most
successful writing duos. Boileau and Narcejac both individually received the prestigious Prix du roman d'aventures before
beginning a partnership that spanned four decades, from the Fifties to the Eighties, and produced more than fifty thrillers.
Their works inspired numerous films, including Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Henri-Georges Clouzot's Les Diaboliques,
based on their 1952 debut novel She Who Was No More.

novel about a long night, a mosaic of village life, in which the long-established and newcomers, the dead and the living,
craftsmen, pensioners and noble robbers in football shirts bump into each other. They all want to bring something to a

How The Soldier Repairs The Gramophone
Sasa Stanisic
The tale of a boy who experiences the war in Bosnia and finds the secret to survival in language and stories.
Description
Aleksandar is Comrade-in-Chief of fishing, the best magician in the non-aligned States and painter of unfinished things.
He knows the first chapter of Marx's Das Kapital by heart but spends most of his time playing football in the Bosnian town
of Visegrad on the banks of the river Drina. When his grandfather, a master storyteller, dies of the fastest heart attack in
the world while watching Carl Lewis's record, Aleksandar promises to carry on the tradition. However when the shadow of
war spreads to Visegrad, the world as he knows it stops. Suddenly it is not important how heavy a spider's life weighs, or
why Marko's horse is related to Superman. Suddenly it is important to have the right name and to pretend that the little
Muslim girl Asija is his sister. Then Aleksandar's parents decide to flee to Germany and he must leave his new friend
behind.

I Was Jack Mortimer
Alexander Lernet-Holenia
"One doesn't step into anyone's life, not even a dead man's without having to live it to the end."
A taxi driver in 1930s Vienna impersonates a murder victim, and is caught into a dangerous spiral.
Description
A man climbs into Ferdinand Sponer's cab, gives the name of a hotel, and before he reaches it has been murdered: shot
through the throat. And though Sponer has so far committed no crime, he is drawn into the late Jack Mortimer's life, and
might not be able to escape its tangles and intrigues before it is too late.Twice filmed, I Was Jack Mortimer is a tale of
misappropriated identity as darkly captivating and twisting as the books of Patricia Highsmith.
About the Author
Alexander Lernet Holenia was born in Vienna in 1897. He served in the Austro-Hungarian army in the First World War
and became a protege of Rainer Maria Rilke. During his life he wrote poetry, novels, plays and was a successful

One Man's Flag
David Downing
Second in stunning WW1 spy series.
Description
Spring 1915. Eight months after foiling a plot to delay the embarkation of France-bound British troops, and reluctantly
arresting his lover's brother for being involved, Jack McColl is stationed in India, charged with defending the Empire
against Bengali terrorists and their German allies. Belgium, he finds, is not the only country seeking to expel an invader.
In England, meanwhile, Colm Hanley is executed, and his sister Caitlin begins the business of rebuilding her life. The war
is changing everything, and giving fresh impulse to those causes - feminism, socialism and Irish independence - which
she as a journalist has long supported. The threat of a rising in Dublin alarms McColl's bosses as much as it dazzles
Caitlin. It was one Irish plot which came between Jack and Caitlin in 1914, and it will take another to bring them back
together, both as enemies and lovers.

David Downing is the author of the bestselling Station series of WWII spy novels. He lives in Guildford.

Hugh and his prisoner patient? Did he succumb to her idealism, or her looks? Or was it her resistance he found
intoxicating? Did she return his love? Cupid's itch can afflict anyone. The only thing Donella knows for certain is it cannot

claim equality with men, and a fascinating exploration of passion, repression, jealousy and love.

Broken Arrow
Matthew Pritchard
A deadly corporate cover-up puts Danny Sanchez on the trail of greed, murder and corruption in southern
Spain.
Description
The discovery of a disinterred corpse at one of Andalusia's Spaghetti Western theme parks begins Danny Sanchez on an
investigation that will put all that he holds dearest on the line, as he brings to light an act of unimaginable selfishness that
will have ramifications for thousands . . .
Danny begins the story on the trail on a brutal killer who burns his first victim alive, but as the plot unfolds, he begins to
realise the true motives behind the killer's actions and to question whether the man he is tracking is the true villain. The
story draws on Pritchard's own journalistic experience to present a vivid and realistic portrayal of the way in which Danny
draws together the documents and interviews he needs to prove his story. Meanwhile, Danny's obsessive quest to
uncover the truth causes him to place not only his own life at risk, but also those of Marsha, his girlfriend, and his
photographer friend, Paco Pino. This leads to a breakdown in all the relationships which Danny most values.
Broken Arrow is Pritchard's third novel and combines his fastpaced prose style and subtle characterisation with a
meticulously researched plot. The book is based around a real life accident in 1966, in which the American air force
dropped three H-bombs onto southern Spain and contaminated hundreds of acres of arable land with plutonium dust. The
narrative moves with a Chandleresque efficiency and there are many twists to the plot, but all are credible. Matthew
Pritchard keeps his readers guessing until the end.
About the Author
Matthew Pritchard worked as a journalist in Spain for ten years, mainly for the ex-pat press, but also for UK nationals (at
which he has some good connections). He grew up in a house filled with gas masks, military helmets, swords and rifles
and has possessed a lifelong interest in WWII ever since. Together with his father and uncle, he has amassed a sizeable
collection of memoirs and memorabilia contemporary to the period.

The Crossing
Christina James
In the wreckage, everything goes to hell.
Description
It is a foggy day. Ruby Grummett, a railway crossing keeper, opens the gates for a council lorry, thinking that the
Skegness train has been cancelled, but it comes looming through the mists and hits the lorry, which is flung into the air.
The train is derailed, one man is killed and another seriously injured, and Ruby's house is destroyed.
Is Ruby to blame for the accident, or was it caused by the railway company's failure to warn that the train was late? Di
Yates visits Ruby in hospital in an attempt to find out. There he meets her husband Bob and daughters Kayleigh and
Philippa. Kayleigh, short and squat like her mother, works in a local factory. Philippa, tall and very blonde, attends Boston
Grammar School. Bob is shifty and seems to be hiding something from the police. Both his brother Ivan and Councillor
Start, a prominent local man, are helping him.
Meanwhile, the head teacher at Spalding High School is strangely unconcerned when a prowler is reported loitering
outside the school; Andy Carstairs' new girlfriend tells him about an obscure all-male club that is allowed to meet at the
school at weekends; and Juliet Armstrong, who has renewed her friendship with Dr Louise Butler, reopens the case of a
Finnish au pair who disappeared twenty years before.
These miscellaneous events appear to be unconnected until the remains of a child are discovered. Then all hell breaks
loose.

her dreams of a career, as she becomes the family drudge. Sandra's heartbroken husband, Johnny, finds solace for his
grief by becoming the main mouthpiece for his Trade Union in the shipyards, leaving little time for new-born Rosebud,

fulfil the death bed promises they made to Sandra, which makes a nearly impossible situation even worse. With the help
of Johnny's spinster sister Kate and Jenny, his matriarchial mother, they must find a way to survive. When victory in
Europe finally arrives, Kitty can see an end to her menial life and Johnny an end to his self-denial. And they also realise
that the only way they can free themselves from the lives they hate is to break the solemn promises they made to Sandra
on her death bed. But can they really live with the guilt of broken promises?

back where the beautiful game is concerned. No Premier League footballer has ever divided opinion quite like Robbie

Joey Barton and Neil Warnock put together. In his explosive new book, I'll Tell You What.. Savage lifts the lid on all
aspects of the modern game. Managers, players, the Premiership, the European game, the FA Cup, kids' football, and
pushy football parents are just a few of the topics that Savage takes on in his inimitable provocative style.

The Old Man and the Sea: A True Story of Crossing the Atlantic by
Raft
Anthony Smith
An Atlantic Pipe Dream.
Description
Octogenarian Anthony Smith's journey was originally inspired by both the Kontiki Expedition of Thor Heyerdahl (who he
knew) and the incredible story of the survivors of a 1940 boat disaster, who spent 70 days adrift in the Atlantic, eventually
reaching land emaciated and close to death.
While this might sound like a voyage no-one would wish to emulate, to octogenarian Anthony Smith it sounded like an
adventure, and he placed a typically straightforward advertisement in the Telegraph that read 'Fancy rafting across the
Atlantic? Famous traveller requires 3 crew. Must be OAP. Serious adventurers only.'
In his inimitable style, Smith details their voyage and the hardships they endured with a matter-of-fact air that makes his
story seem all the more impressive. His advanced age allows him a wider perspective not only on the journey but on life
itself, and his never-say-die attitude to the difficulty of the journey is inspirational.
'Old men ought to be explorers' said T.S. Eliot, and this book certainly gives a compelling argument in his favour. It is both
a great story (a huge storm on the final night of the voyage almost wrecked them on a reef) and a call to action for the
older generation - do not go quietly, says Anthony Smith, but seek out adventure as long as you are able.
About the Author
Anthony Smith was a writer, explorer, journalist and former tv presenter, who has written numerous books about his
incredible travel experiences, including Blind White Fish in Persia and Throw Out Two Hands, which details his flight in a
hot air balloon from Zanzibar to East Africa, and across the Ngorongoro crater. His bestselling work The Body (later titled
The Human Body) sold over 800,000 copies worldwide and was tied into a BBC TV series which aired across the world.
He died in 2014.

Dogs of Courage: When Britain's Pets Went to War 1939-45
Clare Campbell
What did the nation's dogs do for the war effort? How did man's best friend prove his loyalty in his master's
struggle against the Axis threat?
Description
In Bonzo's War, Clare Campbell told the fascinating story of what it was like for Britain's pets when the world was at war.
This time, she follows the incredible journey of the dogs who conscripted to fight for their country, with some even
returning with medals for their bravery. During the most dangerous days of the Second W orld War, the British
government set out to recruit an army of canines - a 'Guard Dog Unit'. This experimental team of brave hounds would
later use their incredible sense of smell to sniff out the anti-personnel mines that barred the way to reclaiming Europe.
Dog owners countrywide shed tears as they bid farewell to their beloved 'Rover', 'Rex', or 'Molly' (who in turn bravely
fought back tears to spare their owners more upset) - and packed them off to the War Dogs Training School to learn the
skills they'd need to 'do their bit for Britain' on the very frontiers of the Third Reich. The soldiers waiting out in the field to
greet their canine counterparts were under strict instructions: do not get too attached to your new four-legged companion.
That bit proved disastrously impossible.
Based on original documents, first-hand accounts and interviews, Dogs of Courage tells a story of human determination,
heartbreak and uncompromising canine courage that has never been told before.
About the Author
Clare Campbell is an author and journalist. She is the author of Out of It (2007) and Tokyo Hostess (2009) and she
ghosted Bringing Down the Krays (2012), by Bobby Teale. Clare's husband and co-author Christy Campbell is the former

Crap Kitchen: Boiled gannet, calf-brain custard and other 'acquired
tastes'
Geoff Tibballs
The worst cookbook ever, packed with truly bizarre and utterly disgusting recipes from all over the world.
Description
Ever since humankind produced its first foodie, the culinary world has dished up some staggering confections which could
best be described as 'acquired tastes': dishes such as Virgin Boy Eggs (eggs soaked in the urine of prepubescent boys);
live octopus, which clutches at the diner's tongue and throat as it is swallowed; and Beard Beer, made from the yeast
found in facial hair.
In northern Greenland, the Inuit are fond of cramming as many as 500 dead auks (small sea birds) into an old seal skin
which they place under a large rock until the birds have fermented into what has rightly been described as a 'sticky,
pungent, toxic, cheesy gloop'. Kiviak, as it is called, is eaten by biting off the birds' heads and sucking out the juices.
The mighty Roman Empire was built on such delicacies as larks' tongues, stuffed thrush, boiled flamingo and grilled cow's
womb, while the Tudors loved nothing more than a roast cockenthrice: the head and upper body of a pig carefully stitched
onto the lower body and legs of a turkey.
Today, for those with an adventurous mindset and a robust life insurance policy, there is no shortage of nauseating local
delicacies to enjoy. In China, not only is tuna eyeball on the menu, but also yak penis (served whole). In Vietnam, one can
enjoy the still-beating heart of a freshly-killed snake; in Iceland, raw puffin heart. In the Philippines, there is duck embryo
to be had - like a Kinder Surprise . only containing a dead foetus instead of a toy. In Sardinia, they like nothing more than
a nice bit of maggot-infested cheese; and the favourite tipple of Korean foodies is Ttongsul, a wine made from the
fermented faeces of a child.
Bon appetit!

may, for instance, want to quickly boil some rice or pasta to accompany a delicious meat, fish, chicken or vegetable main
course in the combi. You can also use ti as a conventional microwave, grill or convection oven.

The Speaker's Wife
Quentin Letts
Quentin Letts at his waspish best in his first novel: Westminster intrigue, laugh-aloud satire, moving passages
about the human condition and a fairytale love story.
Description
The Rev Tom Ross's quiet and semi-alcoholic life as chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons is about to be
shattered.
Pastor Petroc Stone of a central London, evangelical church gives sanctuary to a young man being chased by the police
for making an anti-Islamic protest. Politicians rage about the Church of England giving a safe haven to a dangerous
criminal and Islamists surround the church building, furious at the boy's insult.
Meanwhile, the charismatic, white-maned Don of Doubt, Augustus Dymock, and his secular campaign, the Thought
Foundation, are pressuring the Church to sell hundreds of its under-used places of worship.
As the stories twist and flow together, Ross finds himself caught up in a world of bribes, violence and political spin and, at
high personal cost, he must confront his demons. The Speaker's Wife mixes Westminster intrigue with searching
depictions of an England which has neglected its beliefs. Laugh-aloud satire is mixed with moving passages about the
human condition and even a fairytale love story.
About the Author
Quentin Letts is parliamentary sketch writer and theatre critic for the Daily Mail. A regular broadcaster on radio and

The Book of Ducati Overhead Camshaft Singles: 1955-1974
Ian Falloon
The overhead camshaft single provided the DNA for Ducati motorcycles but with little accurate documentation
and information available before now they can be difficult to restore and authenticate. This is the first book to
provide an authoritative description of the complete range of Ducati OHC singles.
Description
When Fabio Taglioni designed his 100cc Gran Sport Marianna back in 1954, it was unlikely he expected this engine to
have such a long and lingering influence on Ducati design. Over the next 20 years, the single was developed into a
myriad of different types, in capacities up to 436cc, and was the first production engine to utilise desmodromic valves.
Incorporating features that continue to this day, the overhead camshaft single would become one of the most important
designs in Ducati history. Years of research have resulted in this, the first book to document in detail all the types of
Ducati overhead valve singles, making this book an invaluable resource to the collector, restorer, and enthusiasts of these
magnificent motorcycles.
About the Author
One of the world's foremost motorcycle historians, Ian Falloon is the author of more than twenty books on motorcycles
including the The Ducati 750 Bible, Ducati 900 Bible, Ducati Story, Moto Guzzi Story, Honda Story, Kawasaki Story, BMW
Story, Moto Guzzi Sport Bible and Laverda Twin and Triple Bible. He has a small collection of classic sporting
motorcycles, including a 1974 Ducati 750 Super Sport that he has owned since 1976. A freelance contributor to a number
of motorcycle magazines around the world, Ian Falloon was born in New Zealand but currently lives in Australia with his
wife Miriam, and sons Ben and Tim.

Tatra - The Legacy of Hans Ledwinka: Updated & Enlarged Collector's
Edition of 1500 copies
Ivan Margolius and John G. Henry
Hans Ledwinka's innovative Tatra cars were models of design excellence, and, prior to the Second World War,
were highly influential in shaping what was to become modern car design concepts and the development of
Volkswagen. This book at long last places Ledwinka in his well-deserved place amongst the great car
designers.
Description
The story of the Tatra company, which originates in the Central European country of Czechoslovakia, is one of great
innovation and avant-garde design in automobile engineering. It is also the story of one man - Hans Ledwinka - and his
visionary concepts which have become highly influential, although often undervalued contributions, in the development of
car technology. Until now, Hans Ledwinka's talent has hardly been recognized; in retrospect, he can be judged equal to
car designers such as Benz, Daimler and Porsche, whose endeavors have been fully recorded many times over. With his
revolutionary Tatra cars Ledwinka consistently pushed back the frontiers of automobile construction, and it's certain that
without his inspiration, the Volkswagen in its air-cooled rear-engined form would perhaps never have been conceived.
This book suggests that Ledwinka played a greater part in this development than has previously been appreciated. The
authors have covered the full history of the Tatra company, which is one of the oldest factories in continuous automobile
manufacture, dating back to the 19th century. By doing this, they have placed both Ledwinka and the Czechoslovak Tatra
company back in their rightful places in the history of car design, and provided a fully comprehensive assessment of the
influence of Tatra car designs and their inspired creator. The text of this larger format 2nd edition has been fully revised
and updated since the 1990 edition. This new edition also contains many additional illustrations.

Jaguar Cars
James Mann
Jaguar Cars features 50 of Jaguar's most iconic models through James Mann's stunning photography, from
the original SS Jaguar to today's F-Type sports cars and the C-X75 supercar concept.
Description
Explore the complete history of Jaguar--maker of cars that practically purr with life--through James Mann's stunning
photography.
In 1935, a small company in Coventry, England, built a sporting saloon called the Jaguar SS and set in motion an
inexorable process that would lead to Britain's most beloved line of high-performance automobiles. Originally begun by a
couple of motorcycle enthusiasts--William Lyons and William Walmsley--the firm originally called the Swallow Sidecar
Company quickly expanded into automobile production, and with its new Jaguar model, it had exactly what the market
wanted.In England's bleak postwar years, Jaguar became a shining star, beginning with its XK120 (the first production car
ever to achieve 120 miles per hour), followed by the XK140 and XK150. Sporting sedans (saloons in British parlance)
such as the Mark 2 and Mark X set the bar for luxury four-door transport in the 50s and 60s. Then Jaguar stunned the
world with the achingly beautiful E-Type in 1961, a genuine 150-miles-per-hour super sports car. Along the way, the
company competed on road courses around the world, going head to head with greats such as Ferrari and Aston Martin.
Though Jaguar lost its way periodically in the modern era, it has bounded back stronger than ever in the 21st century with
a lineup including the all-new F-Type sports car.Jaguar Cars features 50 of Jaguar's most iconic models, from the original
SS Jaguar to today's F-Type sports cars as well as the C-X75 supercar concept.

Lancia Hyena Zagato: Una Delta all'ennesima potenza/The Ultimate
Delta
Maurizio Grasso
This book, written by an enthusiastic collector, examines the difficult genesis of the Hyena, from the first steps
with the publication of the very first (previously unpublished) sketches and numerous photos and then follows
its development, engineering and production through to its presentation at the car shows and in brochures.
Description
"We have to recreate the enthusiasm that surrounded the SPORT models, ever a synonym for the Lancia Zagatos": in
1991 this was the brief the recent graduate Andrea Zagato gave to Marco Pedracini, a young designer who had not long
been hired by prestigious coachbuilder. It was out of this fortuitous and fortunate coming together of this far-sighted idea
and the enthusiasm of Paul Koot, a Dutch fan and a businessman in the automotive sector, that an icon was born, the
HYENA. A beautiful car, but one practically unknown to the general public. A car that could have repeated and even
surpassed the commercial and sporting success of the Lancia Delta Integrale from which it was derived. Unfortunatley
just 24 examples were produced due to the debateable decision taken by the Fiat/Lancia directors of the time. The book
is completed by a comprehensive technical section, with the project list and the spare parts catalogue as well as an
extensive photographic portrait of one particular example, N. 20. Lastly, all 24 Lancia Hyenas are examined, with the
intention of reconstructing their specifications, their destination and the country in which they are jealously conserved by
the enthusiast and collectors who possess a precious example.
About the Author
Born in 1961, Maurizio Grasso has always been a classic car enthusiast and collector and since starting his own
collection he has focused on unusual cars produced in restricted numbers like the Hyena. He regularly uses his cars for
rallies and historic revivals, both in Italy and abroad.

The Complete Book of Jerky: How to Process, Prepare, and Dry Beef,
Venison, Turkey, Fish, and More
Philip Hasheider
Recipes and tips on turning meat, fish, and soy-based foods into jerky and using a food dehydrator, the oven,
or even an open fire to make it.
Description
Sink your teeth into the ultimate homemade treat!
High in protein, low in fat, and tasty -- it's no surprise that jerky has been a popular snack for decades. While
commercially made jerky is easy to find in stores, it has a few downsides: it's expensive, often high in sodium, and the
flavors are limited. When you make your own jerky, hunters can make use of their own game, fishers can use their fresh
catch, and conscious consumers can use locally sourced meat. Of course, the flavor options go far beyond cracked black
pepper as well! From classics such as smoked salmon and teriyaki beef to more creative options such as spicy turkey,
savory tofu, and soy and brown sugar venison, the choice is yours!
Author Philip Hasheider, a butchery expert, will walk you through basic butchery for larger cuts of meat, how different
muscles (and fish) translate into jerky, and a variety of ways to prepare jerky using a food dehydrator or a smoker.
Marinated, flavored, or plain and simple, learn how to make the jerky you crave!
