In the Saigon South district of Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, globally renowned architecture firm
Skidmore Owings & Merrill designed a livable, human-scale urban environment in partnership
with the Phu My Hung development group. SOM created the master plan that still guides growth
and change in this part of the city, which has been accepted as an example of sustainable
development to be imitated across Asia and throughout the rest of the world. Saigon South's
neighbourhoods accommodate residents of varying income levels and provide green public space
for all. Verdant parks are placed alongside the area s natural water features. The master plan's
emphasis on multi-use design allows for traditional shophouses as well as larger businesses,
integrating all parts of life into a pedestrian-friendly district. Saigon South is an economically and
civically vibrant district that showcases the city's cultural richness rather than the egos of the
architects and developers.

Acting as a "profile" of a building as well as contributing to the "profile" of Ennead Architects,
each book employs initial program studies, schematic sketches, early two- and three-dimensional
study models, construction shots, final photography and a personal statement by the designer to
present an intimate, insider’s view of the creative process. A supplementary piece written by a
critic, historian or client or a "found" text that relates to the designer's aspirations or building’s
program, site, function is included. The photographic narrative combines the precision and
technical virtuosity of classic architectural photography with more lyrical and personal
interpretations of the building, its context and the people who use it.
AUTHOR:
Ennead Architects creates architecture that shapes the public realm: this has been central to our
practice since 1963. Their 180-person firm, based in New York City, works primarily with
educational, cultural and scientific clients, including some of the most venerable institutions in
North America, from Stanford to Yale Universities, from the American Museum of Natural History
to the Clinton Presidential Library, from Carnegie Hall to the Standard Hotel on the High Line.
Their diverse portfolio—including new construction, renovation and expansion, historic
preservation, interior design and master planning—ranges from complex laboratory, research
and teaching facilities for higher education to museums and performing arts centers to a
wastewater treatment plant. Through form, light and materiality, Ennead creates expressive
architecture that embodies each client's mission and engages the user while shaping our place
and time.

The Art Nouveau movement became an international phenomenon at the beginning of the
twentieth century that ushered in the era of modernity in almost every aspect of cultural life. For
decades critics have argued that Art Nouveau was not an artistic period in its own right, but an
amalgam of artists and styles that served as a bridge between neoclassicism and modernism. In
this comprehensive, authoritative and copiously illustrated book, art historian Norbert Wolf
explores Art Nouveau as a logical outgrowth of the historic forces in which it arose. This book
focuses on the movement's wide variety of applications and reclaims its prominence in the
pantheon of modern art history. Chapters on aesthetics, spirituality and the cult of beauty offer
luminous examples of works by Mucha, Gaudi, Hoffmann, Klimt, Horta, Munch and Tiffany,
among many others. Wolf's text is both informed and accessible, providing an exciting narrative
that brings the Art Nouveau movement into clear focus. Beautifully produced to appeal to a wide
range of readers, this new edition gives one of the world's most popular styles the serious
consideration it deserves.

Norbert Wolf has written many books on art, including Albrecht Durer, The Art of the Salon, and

*** Featuring Australian Artists ***
This first installment in a four-part series is a celebratory tour of some of the most vibrant,
impressive, contemporary mural art in the world. Fifty artists from six continents share nearly
400 examples of their best work and a little bit about their own lives and journeys as muralists.
The criteria for inclusion in the book was simple: the artists had to be full-time muralists who
push the boundaries of the art form and engage with the medium as a vital social concept. Many
of these artists don't have homes; they travel the globe, entering foreign communities and
cultures, and find shelter from hosts of festivals or art lovers. It's this dedication to their craft
that sets this breed of artists apart from traditional artists, such as painters and sculptors, but
their level of commitment is also what bridges the worlds of fine art and street art.

This definitive book on the renowned post-war avant-garde artistic movement offers a
comprehensive insight into Cobra's history and achievements, and explores its lasting influences
on contemporary art.
The European artistic collective known as Cobra was born in the wake of World War II's
devastating events, its name an acronym for the native cities of its founders: Copenhagen,
Amsterdam, and Brussels. The influential group of painters and sculptors had a tremendous
impact on the development of European Abstract Expressionism, and contemporary art in
general. Cobra was arguably the last avant-garde movement of the 20th century. Moving
chronologically, this book explores the years leading up to Cobra's formation, charts its complex
expansion over a decade, and illuminates how the movement helped shape the trajectory of
contemporary art today. Thoughtfully integrated among the numerous images, many presented
as full-page colour illustrations, are essays that probe the ideological hallmarks that shaped the
group as a whole: its rejection of rational constraints; a focus on play and youthfulness; and its
embrace of immediacy, particularly in the form of "action" paintings. In addition, comprehensive
biographies of the artists illuminate crucial aspects of each individual's journey, helping to expand
readers' understanding of Europe's socio-political and theoretical climate.

Here are new, contemporary perspectives on a craft from the 1800s, including eighteen top
artists' insights about Sailors' Valentines plus more than 300 photos of their exquisite work. This
collection shows how the once-obscure Victorian-era craft has gained its steadily-increasing

Highly imaginative, remarkably colourful, and executed with great vision and precision, these

lovers of shell art themselves.

to create his visual worlds. This results in a unique perspective on the medium of the
black-and-white print. The juxtaposition of works by Kentridge and Durer underscores the
similarities and differences of the two artists in terms of media, aesthetics, and content. Starting
from Kentridge's critical review of modernity, which challenges the era's claim to rationality and
sophistication, the focus then shifts to the art of Durer, whose works reflect the profound
political, religious, and social upheavals at the dawn of the modern period. What emerges is a
dynamic dialogue between two eras.
William Kentridge was born in 1955 in Johannesburg. He is one of the most important artists of
our time. Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) was a great German Renaissance artist.

F.C.B. Cadell, J.D. Ferguson, G.L. Hunter and S.J. Peploe are now amongst the most admired of
early twentieth century British artists. Their direct contact with French Post-Impressionism and
their early knowledge of the work of Matisse and the Fauves, encouraged them to produce
paintings which are considered some of the most progressive in British art of the early twentieth
century.
During their lifetime the Colourists developed an international reputation, exhibiting in Paris,
London and New York as well as Scotland. Since their deaths they have often been overlooked in
histories of British art, but in the last twenty years there has been a dramatic revival of interest
in their work. Featuring essays describing the artists' lives and their involvement with the avant
garde in Paris in the early years of the twentieth century, this book is richly illustrated with over
100 of the Colourists' most stylish and inventive paintings.
SELLING POINTS:
• The definitive work on the four artists who made up the Scottish Colourists
• A comprehensive chronology gives all known solo exhibitions of the work of Peploe,
Fergusson, Hunter and Cadell together with details of their participation in important group
exhibitions

Franz Marc's famous 'Sketchbook from the Battlefield' contains thirty-six small-format pencil
drawings that were produced between March and June 1915 - just a few months before the
artist's death in March 1916. These precious sheets, which are among the last works produced by
Marc, are his artistic legacy. In spite of their miniature scale, the sketches are among the
greatest creations of drawing in the twentieth century. They mark the beginning of an age, and
yet their Promethean energy points to the future. Delicately lyrical elements in them are linked
with a deep constructivist spirit that does not only reflect the avant-garde of the new century,
but even today, one hundred years later, has not lost any of its startling modernity.
AUTHOR:
Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a famous German artist. His great popularity and fascination for his

This book brings together over 160 of the finest surrealist artworks by legendary artists including
Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte, Joan Miro and Man Ray. The works hail from the four
renowned and extraordinary private collections of Edward James, Roland Penrose, Gabrielle
Keiller and Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch, and together offer a superb overview of surrealist art.
Ten essays explore the different origins, historical contexts and creative urges behind these
collections. Artworks, perhaps more than anything else that one can acquire, are objects of
desire and surrealist artworks even more so. The sheer quality of the works acquired (and, in
the case of the Pietzsches, still being acquired) is astonishing and, while passionate about their
private visions, all the collectors have been mindful of contributing something to the public good.
The collections complement each other to an extraordinary degree and allow us to follow some
of the artists' careers from beginning to end. By uniting them, exciting new juxtapositions
emerge along with a fuller and richer picture of the surrealist movement as a whole.

Founded in Monterrey, Mexico, in 1998, Tercerunquinto is a collective made up of Julio Castro,
Gabriel Cazares and Rolando Flores. The group has worked on projects intervening in both public
and private spaces, questioning the limits between the two spheres, breaking down the elements
these systems are composed of, and dismantling the logical order of their interrelations.
The history of post-revolutionary political parties is told through the photographic archives of the
group Tercerunquinto. This book analyses of the use of public murals as spaces for political party
propaganda and the way in which murals become an economic opportunity for the inhabitants of
Mexico's marginalised areas.

• The treasures of the Alba family represent more than five hundred years of patronage and
collecting of European art of the highest quality and importance
The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University is honoured to offer viewers in the
United States their first opportunity to contemplate masterpieces from the leading historic private
art collection in Spain. The treasures of the Alba family represent more than five hundred years
of patronage and collecting of European art of the highest quality and importance. One hundred
thirty-eight exemplary objects from these vast holdings will be presented in Dallas and then
travel to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville.
Coinciding with the Meadows Museum s golden anniversary, the exhibition Treasures from the
House of Alba: 500 Years of Art and Collecting and this companion publication trace the history of
the Alba family from the fifteenth century through the present day through the works they
collected. The book explores the family's wealth of paintings, sculptures, furniture, tapestries,
and other objects, as well as the Alba archives and library. The stature of the painting collection
is clear from the artists represented in the exhibition, among them Fra Angelico, Titian, Rubens,
Mengs, Goya, Ingres, Sorolla, and Renoir. The relationship of the Alba legacy to America is
highlighted in decorative objects and in a selection of documents from the Alba library related to
Columbus and his voyages.
The ten essays in this publication shed light on the dynasty's particular interest in collecting
tapestries; its patronage of writers such as Garcilaso de la Vega; the influence of Eugenia de
Montijo, empress of France, who was directly related to the Alba family; the pivotal roles of the
Seventeenth Duke of Alba and his daughter, the Eighteenth Duchess, in the twentieth century,
both of them keenly engaged with the art of their time; and the three palaces Liria, Monterrey,
and Las Duenas that house much of the collection today. Finally, there is one essay covering the
biographical life of the Albas as well as an article that discusses their artistic legacy. As a result,
the book provides an in-depth study of the rich life and cultural achievements of this legendary
dynasty that still lives strong today.

New York graffiti writers who cut their teeth painting trains in the '70s and '80s transfer Old
Skool street art to a more permanent, collectible medium in this book, using transit maps,
instead of subway cars, as canvases. GHOST, T-KID, QUIK, REVOLT, BLADE, SHAME125, COPE2,
SKEME, and others decorated ordinary 23" × 32" MTA maps with their personal tags and
graphics—echoing the heyday of New York train graffiti. Sixteen sections, one for each writer,
feature a total of more than100 maps, as well as brief statements about the painters' artistic
evolution and style. Like a dynamic "piece book", or sketchbook, this collection is an exclusive
sampling of the painters' signature strokes and tags in portable form. In fact, many of the artists
featured here have used subway-map art as a springboard from the fleeting genre of
train-tagging to the sturdier platform of the international art gallery circuit.

An elegant survey of more than 70 works of art featuring women reading throughout time.
What is it about a woman reading that has captivated hundreds of artists over the centuries?
Stefan Bollmann's 'Women Who Read Are Dangerous' explores this popular subject in more than
70 artworks—drawings, paintings, photographs, and prints—by iconic artists such as Henri
Matisse, Edward Hopper, Suzanne Valadon, August Sander, Rembrandt, and many more. As the
book's provocative title indicates, a woman reading was once viewed as radical. In chapters,
such as "Intimate Moments" and "The Search for Oneself," Bollmann profiles how a woman with
a book was once seen as idle or suspect and how women have gained autonomy through
reading over the years. Bollmann offers intelligent and engaging commentary on each work of
art in 'Women Who Read Are Dangerous', telling us who the subject is, her relationship to the
artist, and even what she is reading. With works ranging from a 1333 Annunciation painting of
the angel Gabriel speaking to the Virgin Mary, book in hand, to twentieth-century works, such as
a stunning photograph of Marilyn Monroe reading Ulysses, this appealing survey provides a
veritable slideshow of the many iterations of a woman and her book—a compelling subject to
this day. An excellent gift for graduates, teachers, or Mother's Day, this elegant book should
appeal to anyone interested in art, literature, or women's history.
AUTHOR:
Stefan Bollmann is a writer and editor of several books on literary women and is based in
Munich.
Karen Joy Fowler is the author of a number of best-selling novels, including 'The Jane Austen
Book Club'.
SELLING POINTS:
• It is a multifaceted look at various forms of art-drawings, paintings, photographs, and
prints-ranging from the fourteenth century to the twenty-first.
• It is an excellent gift for graduates, teachers, or Mother's Day.
• Appeals to the popular feminist trend circulating in current media.
REVIEWS:

Donald Dean lied about his age to enlist in the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment and
serve on the Western Front, where he worked his way up from Private to acting Captain. It was
in the last weeks of the war, late in September 1918, that he won his VC for leading a platoon in
the determined defence of a recently-captured and isolated trench against repeated German
counterattacks. In one of these attacks, the Germans actually broke into the trench, forcing
Dean to break off a radio call for artillery support with the words 'The Germans are here,
goodbye!' Refusing to be overrun, he personally killed four of the Germans before they were
finally evicted. Dean also served in World War II, witnessing the fall of France in 1940 and
claiming to be the last Brit to get out of Boulogne. His frank account of the evacuation challenges
some cherished conceptions and is very critical of the conduct of the Irish Guards in particular.
He went on to fight in Madagascar, Sicilya and the Italian mainland. Donald Dean died in
1985.Military historian Terry Crowdy has edited Dean's letters and diaries, never previously
published, adding additional notes and material from official reports to give the reader context.
The result is a moving, often amusing and inspiring portrait of a little-known hero of two world
wars.
AUTHOR:
Terry Crowdy is the author of several books, most recently the internationally acclaimed 'The
Enemy Within: a History of Espionage' (which earned him interviews on national radio and has
been translated into Chinese) and the successful 'Military Misdemeanours'.
SELLING POINTS:
• Previously unpublished memoirs of a WW1 VC winner.
• Fought in two world wars, gives gripping account of action in both.
• Claimed to be last Brit out of Boulogne in May 1940. His account of the Dunkirk evacuation

'From Calais to Colditz' has never been published before but readers will surely agree that the
wait has been worthwhile. The author was a young platoon commander when his battalion were
ordered by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to defend Calais to the last man and so distract
German attention from the evacuation of the BEF at Dunkirk. After an intense four day battle,
the survivors were subjected to a gruelling twelve day march towards Germany. There followed
incarceration in a succession of POW camps during which the author succeeded in escaping twice,
both over the wire and by tunnelling, remaining at large on one occasion for twelve days. These
exploits qualified him for a place in the notorious Colditz Castle, the supposed escape-proof
camp. The descriptions of his colourful fellow prisoners, their captors and their extraordinary
experiences are as good as any of the previous accounts and in many respects more revealing.
How fortunate it is that 'From Calais to Colditz' can now be read by a wide audience.
AUTHOR:
Philip Pardoe was educated at Horris Hill and at Eton. He was commissioned into the 60th Rifles
and his war service is the subject of this book. After the War, he continued his military career in
the Green Jackets (now subsumed into The Rifles) and, among his appointments, was Military
Attache in Washington DC and, later, Buenos Aires. On his retirement as a colonel, he returned
to his home near Winchester. He became a member of the Gentlemen at Arms, which gave him
great pleasure. Released from Colditz in May 1945 he married Rolline Kavanagh the following
month. They had two children, Caroline and Harry. Philip loved all field sports and tragically died
in a fishing accident on the River Lochy in 1987.
SELLING POINTS:
• A classic Second World War Memoir of the bitter Calais fighting, captivity and many escape
attempts.
• Original first hand accounts of life in Colditz Castle are extremely rare and this one is
particularly revealing.
• The author was an inveterate escaper and troublemaker.

The Memoir of William Robert Price, 1st South Midland 1914-1917
Gunner of the Somme is a remarkable memoir detailing the life of a gunner on the Western
Front as observed by a gentleman scientist who served in the ranks. William Price was a
Cambridge botanist who worked at Kew Gardens but a speech impediment made him feel unable
to serve as an officer. He enrolled in the ranks and left this incredible description of how the
brigade operated, how men worked on the guns and his experiences as a gunner. His account
runs from the outbreak of war until he was wounded in late 1917, and there is a moving
postscript written in 1958 when he returned to the battlefields around Ypres. In addition to his
descriptions of the fighting at the Somme and Passchendaele, he includes fine detail - such as
food and swearing in the ranks - that is hard to find elsewhere.

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half-way up,
They were neither up nor down.
Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany is famous because of the nursery rhyme which
ridicules him for poor leadership but, as Derek Winterbottom's biography shows, he was far from
incompetent as a commander. What is more, the famous rhyme does not even hint at his
achievements as commander-in-chief of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars.
His career as a commander and administrator and his scandalous private life are long overdue
for reassessment, and that is what this perceptive and absorbing study provides. He transformed
the British military machine, and the Duke of Wellington admitted that without York's reforms he
would not have had the army that fought so well in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo. York
also led a turbulent personal life which was engulfed by scandal when his mistress was accused
of using her influence over him to obtain promotion for ambitious officers.
Today the Duke of York is a neglected, often derided figure. This biography should go some way
towards restoring his reputation as a commander and military reformer.

Derek Winterbottom read modern history at the University of Oxford and a further degree at the
University of York. He is the author of some twenty publications in the fields of history,

On 10 June 1945, a charred body was discovered near Madrid. The man was identified as
Mendel Szkolnikoff, a Jew of Russian origin who was probably one of the biggest traffickers of
the Occupation; since 1941 he had collaborated with the Germans by supplying textiles to the SS
and the Kriegsmarine in particular. In a remarkably short space of time, Szkolnikoff amassed a
spectacular fortune including prime real estate in the most sought-after areas in Paris and
various hotels and 'palaces' on the French Riviera. Although his property and fortune were
impounded after the Liberation, the French authorities have continued to pursue his descendants
to this day, which is in fact, illegal! Seventy years after his death there are still many questions
that remain unanswered: Who did Szkolnikoff actually work for and who was it who protected
him? What happened to the enormous amounts of money he deposited in his Monacan, Swiss
and Spanish bank accounts before he died? Who was the mysterious commando unit who
captured and killed Szkolnikoff in Spain in 1945? Was he actually killed or did he manage to
escape? The true story of Mendel Szkolnikoff has never been fully investigated, until now. After
consulting over 6000 boxes of archives in 5 different countries, Pierre Abramovici is finally able
to provide answers to these questions and reveal the truths behind the many myths that have
surrounded this fascinating and complicated character.

The first book in more the 50 years to tell the incredible true story of the Victorian master
criminal, Charles Peace
On 2 August 1876, a young policeman named Constable Cock was shot dead while walking 'the
beat' at Whalley Range, Manchester. A few months later, on the evening of 29 November 1876,
Arthur Dyson, an engineer, was murdered in his own back yard at Banner Cross, Sheffield.
Charles Peace was Victorian Britain's most infamous cat-burglar and murderer. He was a
complex character: ruthless, devious, dangerous, charming, intelligent and creative. Mrs
Katherine Dyson identified him as the murderer of her husband, and as the police searched the
country for him Peace was living a life of luxury under another identity in London.
One of these murders became the most notorious and scandalous case of the Victorian age, with
a tale of illicit romance and a nationwide hunt for Britain's most wanted man; the other was to
become an infamous landmark in British legal history.
Although noone suspected a link between them, these two sensational murder cases would, in
the end, turn out to be tied together in a way that shocked Victorian society to its core.

"When perfection is contrasted in the same moment by imperfection. When the precision of an
industrially produced object is contaminated by the imprecision of the human hand." Masa & Jon
Kleinhample
Informed by both traditional and digital techniques, these "microfactories" operate within a
contemporary setting, forging new rules for a unique business strategy. To quantify a company
as a microfactory means to elevate their status. To recognise that person's ability to shift the
rules defining operational norms within creative businesses. They are, by definition, the
embodiment of a ground trembling creative renaissance, ushered in by the integration of both
tradition and technology into our daily lives, whether business or personal. They operate small
foot print, extremely agile companies that communicate directly with their customers. They do
not rely on large production facilities; rather on their own, on-demand micro-factories. Living in
both the physical city and within a new, expansive, digitally networked community, they define a
new breed of commerce. Unbound by location, we see the emergence of a new global landscape
benefitting from the intimacy of local actors. This is not your fathers' globalism, but one shaped
by the transparency of social networks.
Specialising in creatively re-thinking the way in which people dwell, Klein Agency focuses on
simple solutions to living well. They make a point to focus their attention on material, beauty,
and timelessness in their design. With a focus to design and fabricate products for simple living,
Klein Agency harnesses the beauty of raw materials.
SELLING POINTS:
• This is a book about a new breed of entrepreneur, tangled up with both tradition and
technology. Includes interviews with entrepreneurs from around the globe, such as Companion

The force of social satire and fantasy in the original text of "Alice in Wonderland" is as relevant
today as when the novel was first published in 1865. This version of Carroll's classic tale is a
startling departure from the traditional Victorian approach. In his introduction, Ralph Steadman
describes how a fresh illustrative perspective created an original, modern vision. The irony and
satire of "Alice in Wonderland" acquires new life with Steadman's audacious and dynamic
illustrations. The 47 pen and ink illustrations from the critically acclaimed 1968 edition are
faithfully restored and reformatted. The energy, imagination and power of Steadman's pen
introduces the wit and wisdom of Alice to a new generation of readers. Lewis Carroll is the
pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898. "Alice in Wonderland" was first published
in 1865. Ralph Steadman's illustrations have appeared in newspapers, magazines and dozens of
books, including Hunter S. Thompson's, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

With bright, lush, stylised acrylic illustrations, this collection of eight stories from 'A Thousand and
One Nights' is designed for reading aloud, but in contrast to many watered-down versions, these
tales may find their best audience with older elementary students and middle-schoolers. The long
introductory story, Shahriyar Meets Shahrazade, tells of the shah’s discovery of his beloved
wife’s betrayal and his shocking decision to marry a new bride every day and then order her
death. Then he meets and marries Shahrazade, who persuades Shahriyar to keep her alive by
telling him a riveting story each night.
This edition is notable for combining favourites such as Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp with less
familiar tales such as The Diamond Anklet and The Speaking Bird and the Singing Tree
Throughout, the spacious paintings capture the sense of the supernatural in daily life, including
magical images of people taking flight above city, trees, and desert.

REVIEWS:
"This book is just very graphically pleasing. The art work is graceful and very appropriate to the
time period. Although this is directed mainly at middle grade readers as a chapter book, I think
that it's perfect for older readers of any age who want to get their Arthur cravings satisfied or
learn more about the legends that have infiltrated almost every part of our literary heritage. The
wording is simple enough for younger readers while at the same time not condescending and
interesting for older readers. This is just a great read be it for the family, in the classroom, or
for personal interests. - The Elliot Review

Vincent van Gogh is now known as an acclaimed, incomparable Post-impressionist painter. But
when he lived in Arles, France, in the 1880s, he was mocked for being different. Back then, van
Gogh was an eccentric man with wild red hair who used clashing hues to paint unusual-looking
people and strange starry skies. Children and adults alike called him names and laughed at him.
Nobody bought his art. But he kept painting.
Inspired by these events, 'The Artist and Me' is the fictional confession of one of van Gogh's
bullies — a young boy who adopted the popular attitude of adults around him. It's not until the
boy faces his victim alone that he realises there is more than one way to see the world.
Artwork in the book uses vibrant colour and texture to bring the laneways, cafes, and wheat
fields of southern France to life while playing on scenes from van Gogh's own work. The lyrical
text carries the emotional weight of the subject and will leave readers with the understanding
that everyone's point of view is valuable.

Spencer and his family are expecting a visit from Great-Aunt Alice and her dog, Susan. All
Spencer knows is that she's dignified and graceful, with long, beautiful hair — the dog, that is.
Spencer and his own pup, Barney, are excited to have another dog to play with and decide to
give her a chance. But it soon becomes clear that Susan is no regular dog. She eats cake off a
china plate, takes scheduled naps, and needs an umbrella held over her in the rain.
Spencer and Barney decide to teach Susan how to be a real dog. With Barney as a role model,
they take her to the off-leash dog park to develop skills like barking at buses, cyclists and
squirrels, eating garbage, resisting grooming, and refusing to come when she's called. Susan
returns from the park covered in burrs, having shed her dignity and grace enough to fully
embrace her inner dog. Mixed-media illustrations support the humorous text in this story about
embracing who you are.

Every morning by 06:00 hours, Frank is awake and on duty for Squirrel Patrol. This pug takes
his role seriously: basic training, neighborhood surveillance, and, most importantly, protecting his
humans and the cat, Laverne, from the Great Dane next door.
Laverne, however, prefers a more refined lifestyle of napping, kneading her cat bed, and
scorning humans' ridiculous behavior. As much as Frank loves her, the deadpan Laverne loathes
Frank. She dreams of sending him away forever and claiming his fish-shaped chew toy for
herself.
Both pets report their perspectives separately, from opposite ends of the book, until the story
comes to a head in the middle with a single encounter Frank and Laverne perceive in very
different ways.
Written in the style of a daily log with text and illustrations interspersed, the story abounds with
verbal and visual humor that will appeal to reluctant readers. Rich vocabulary, onomatopoeia,
and the play on opposing points of view make this a smart, laugh-out-loud pick for critical

Whether to protect a friend, to make someone feel better, or to avoid telling even bigger lies

that. But in reality, it's rarely so black and white.

What are the consequences of lying? What methods are used to detect lies? And when is it okay
or even good to lie?
From forgeries and hoaxes to plagiarism and placebos, 'Half-Truths and Brazen Lies' offers
historical anecdotes, scientific studies, and sociocultural analyses to help unpack the complex

city and country, in three separate States, and writing stories. He coached mostly juniors for
nine years and is, at time of printing, about to play his 31st year of Senior and Reserve football.
His children's and Young Adult books have won awards and his footy work includes writing for the
Footy Almanac and numerous short stories and books for his self-published Zurbo Inc. He loves a
good, solid grab, but is a terrible kick. He blames his hamstrings!
SELLING POINTS:
• A celebration of the sheer fun of footy (and all sport) for children
• Imaginative exploration of the physical, social and psychological benefits of team sports for
children
• Funny, lively cartoon illustrations with instant appeal to children
• Teacher's notes available
AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR'S NOTE:
I love footy! My aim with this book was to show, simply, how much fun it is. Not just to win, but
to play. To try, to do, to have FUN! No matter how good or how hopeless a boy or girl is, they
can still enjoy it, because it's about participation. And the tackles and bumps and mud are a part
of the enjoyment.
I firmly believe in sport as a form of communication, participation and personal challenge. These
are great lessons for kids as they grow — physical lessons only the effort of trying can reward
you with — and moral lessons as well. Footy, and sport in general, is the biggest, most
enjoyable, most beneficial, readily accessible activity for kids there is! And all the computer
screens and comic books in the world won’t change that.
I LOVE FOOTY! joins the dots between dreaming of adventure and doing; it aims to capture the
fun of being young and the freedom that sport provides you!

The electricity in Maya's house has gone out again. She is afraid of the dark — and her fear has
been even worse since her father died. Now it feels as if the darkness will never go away.
Maya's mother distracts her with a legend about the banyan tree, which saved the world from
the first monsoon by drinking up the floodwaters, and growing tall and strong. Later that night,
unsettled by the noises around her, Maya revisits the story in her imagination. She ventures
deep into the banyan tree, where she discovers not darkness but life: snakes move gently,
monkeys laugh, and elephants dance. Maya pushes her imagination even further to call up
memories of her father, helping to soothe her fear and assuage her grief.
Elly MacKay mixes miniature-paper-theatre art with spellbinding shadow puppetry to play with
darkness and light, giving Maya's real, fantasy, and story-within-a-story worlds unique

What's that sound? Starting with a simple question, 'My House Is Alive!' takes readers on a tour
of the basic inner workings of a house and explains the scientific reason for the knocks, thumps,
bangs, and booms we hear. For example: that knocking sound in the walls? It's caused by the
expansion and contraction of metal vents that carry air to heat your home. Creaking can happen
when wood dries out, and buzzing can come from vibrating plates inside fluorescent lights.
Two spreads are devoted to each scary sound: the first shows the source of the noise as
imagined by a small boy — a monster, giant insect, or other wacky creature — and the second
explains the reality behind it. Scot Ritchie's explanations of scientific ideas are accessible through
text and illustration in this imaginative informational picture book that will dispel fears about
scary noises and satisfy scientific curiosity.

most mundane of activities by looking at them from a child's perspective. The illustrations were
created by hand using cut-paper collage.
My illustrations use strong graphic statements and bold colour to complement the simplicity of
the text and combine the skills gathered from each of my previous books allowing me to
communicate the story more effectively, artistically and textually.

Skunk on a String

RRP: $24.99
9HSLHRB*ehbdbc+
In 'Skunk on a String', we meet a skunk who has been tied to the tail of a balloon. Try as he
might, the persistent critter can't get anyone to untie him. In this wordless story, he is shooed
and swatted through a bustling parade, past the windowpanes of the city's apartment buildings
with their diverse, busy inhabitants, then up to the construction cranes high above the city. He
floats through the zoo, into traffic, under water, and eventually lands atop a Ferris wheel. When
he finally unties himself, the skunk misses the aerial life — so he comes up with an inspired way
to fly again.
Paper collage art in whimsical colours and patterns — polka dots, gingham, and florals —creates
a playful dynamic and brilliantly captures details of urban life, from the legs of a crowd to
window boxes, spilled ice cream, and clothing flapping on clotheslines. This heart-warming, highly
visual adventure takes a new vantage point on the ordinary and shows the skunk expanding his
horizons, overcoming adversity, and, eventually, helping himself.

everything from regular animal nutrition to feeding babies to mimicking how animals hunt and

eucalyptus-leaf pesto, kelp tank goulash, and mealworm mush. Beware! You probably don't want
to eat any of it yourself.
Written in a plucky, conversational tone with delightfully wacky illustrations, a glossary, and tips
for zoo animal care, this book is bound to appeal to picky readers.

and fear surpass humanity’s initial wonder and awe. But the Triton’s arrival also reveals a
shocking family secret: her own mother is a Triton, which makes Lyric half-Triton. When the
Triton agree to allow a small handful of their children to enroll in a human school where Lyric is a
student, she can no longer avoid her people. She is recruited to help the crown prince, a boy
named Fathom, assimilate, and begins to fall for him. But their love is a dangerous one, and
there are forces on both sides working to keep them apart. After a Triton teenager kills a human
boy, everything goes from bad to worse. And Lyric finds herself caught in the middle, just as
both of their races must face the greatest threat the world has ever seen.
For fans of Rick Yancey and Marie Lu, 'Undertow' is book one in this much-anticipated,
genre-breaking, breath-catching new trilogy for teens from New York Times bestselling author
Michael Buckley.

A CONVERSATION WITH THE AUTHOR:
*** What can fans of Sisters Grimm and NERDS expect from your first YA novel for teens?
My fan base is the best. They're incredibly loyal and enthusiastic, so I turned to a few 'superfans'
for their opinions on Undertow. They told me it is scary, romantic, shocking, thrilling, and
thought-provoking. This story is more sophisticated and mature than what I've written before,
but so is my audience. They grew up with the Sisters Grimm and NERDS, and I wrote this with
them in mind. It has my brand of humor, my pacing, and the quirky characters I'm known for
creating, but aside from that, it’s a very different kind of story.
***What can readers expect to find that’s different?
Everything. For one, the main character, Lyric Walker, is not a spunky kid detective. She’s a
young woman living in a xenophobic, racist, violent world. She is surrounded by monsters, both
real and metaphorical, and she has learned that keeping her head down keeps her alive.
Second, the story has a conscience that my other books don’t have. It asks some tough

questions and hopefully sparks conversations about our society and who we claim to be. One
huge Sisters Grimm fan told me she was expecting an older Sabrina and Daphne Grimm but got
something entirely different. She said the book felt like being tossed into the deep end of the
pool. It's unexpected, but my fans know better than to think I'm just going to keep telling the
same stories over and over again.

The Best Advertising Course in Town

• The Best Advertising Course in Town charts the rapid rise of Colman, Prentis & Varley [CPV], a
leading advertising agency, in the 1930s and its renaissance in the immediate post-war years.
CPV provided a nursery for many of the major talents of the post-war advertising industry account executives, copy writers and artists; and built up an impressive client list, including
major players in the fashion, beauty and department store sector
Robert Colman, Betty and Terence Prentis, and Arthur Varley had all cut their advertising teeth
at Crawford's advertising agency, where the highly successful maverick advertising man, Bill
Crawford, nurtured his team. In the mid-1930s the four of them decided to chance their arm by
splitting away, and eventually set up their own agency together - Colman, Prentis & Varley.
[CPV].
They took useful clients with them - Colman - Norvic Shoes, the Prentises - Jaeger, and Varley Horrockses and Elizabeth Arden. Colman took a behind the scenes administrative role, Terence
became the fledgling agency's art director, whilst Varley was very much the executive arm. CPV
grew rapidly and soon was being featured in journals relevant to the industry.
All this was to halt with the onset of WWII in which Colman and Varley served, the latter with
considerable distinction; whilst the Prentises and the remaining staff held the fort. The Prentices
were to divorce but both remained with the agency, although Terence was to die young, in 1946.
Varley returned to CPV, and put his remarkable energies into the post-war national urgency to
rebuild Britain's export markets. By the early 1960s CPV had direct subsidiaries in some fifteen
countries across Europe, the Americas and South-East Asia; it was to expand its boundaries at
home, beyond the beauty and fashion fields. All this was helped by a string of remarkable art
directors and artists, following on from the Prentises. It was said of Varley, over these years,
that by his intelligence, creativity and energy, he ran "the best advertising course in town", which
everyone wanted to enrol upon. Many of his apprentices were to develop into major players in
the industry, some even establishing reputations beyond that of their mentor.

Much more than simply an adornment, a hairstyle makes an indelible impression, defining an era
and evoking a moment in time. Like a visual statement of inner personality, hair communicates
a culture's standards of beauty and an individual's concept of personal or political identity.
Throughout history and especially over the past century, hairstyles of cultural figures and media
celebrities herald evolving social values. Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake gaze knowingly from
behind their signature soigné waves; Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe radiate Hollywood's
golden-age glamour; the Beatles' mop-tops, Elvis Presley's pompadour and sideburns, and Rod
Stewart's sexy shag embody rock-and-roll rebelliousness. Twiggy's pixie cut epitomizes mod
sixties youth and the freedom of shortening hemlines, Farah Fawcett's tousled waves vividly call
to mind the decadent disco era, and Grace Jones' flattop symbolizes her pioneering androgyny.
From Roaring Twenties bobs to punk mohawks, 18th-century perruques to dreadlocks and afros,
in 'Hair', Assouline and renowned stylist John Barrett curate a portfolio of the most symbolic and
iconic images that have defined our cultural world.
AUTHOR:
Since opening the John Barrett Salon in 1996 on the penthouse floor of Bergdorf Goodman, the
Irish-born Barrett has transformed the once-stuffy landscape of the hair salon into a vibrant,
festive scene worthy of a chick-lit best seller, a Broadway musical, or an over-the-top fashion

'Fred Astaire Style': Few men have influenced American style more profoundly than Fred Astaire.
Replacing the stiff-suited, aristocratic uniform of the day with his looser, more democratic look of
tweed sports jacket and easy cut flannels, Astaire became a new model for a whole generation,
and continues to be considered an icon of style. A symbol of pre-war America democratisation,
this charming dandy also replaced pomp and circumstance with nonchalance for practical
reasons: being a dancer, Astaire's clothes had to be comfortable. They had to follow him.
Fred Astaire Style analyses the dancer's legendary contribution to the twentieth century style.
From such vivid accessories as the silk pocket to square to the white buck shoes and woven tie,
this Memoire deciphers his seemingly improvisational style.
'The Polo Games': A veritable symbol of the art of living, polo has generated its own clans,
codes, and destinations. Polo was first played in Persia, and then spread across the steppes of
Central Asia to India. The British colonialists were quickly seduced by this "sport of kings and king
of sports." They exported the game to the Western world, all the way to the Argentine Pampas.
Today, polo teams travel a worldwide circuit, from Windsor to St. Moritz, Dubai or Buenos Aires,
to compete in contests that recall jousting matches of warriors. Cartier, jeweller to kings,
princes, and maharajahs, is of course an enthusiast of this sport and sponsors some of the most
spectacular tournaments in the world, combining elements of passion, audacity, and the chic and
cosmopolitan art of living.
'Cigar Style': To ignite a cigar -watching the glossy tobacco transmute into silvery ash and blue
smoke while savouring its complex, lingering flavours- is to partake in a ritual that has been
enjoyed for centuries by kings and courtesans, prime ministers and presidents, authors and
artists. A cigar is a symbol of leisure, rite of passage, and celebratory gesture. All of these
themes, as well as significant moments in cigar history, are explored with great affection and
energy in this tasteful and entertaining volume.
'Rebel Style': Between the end of World War II and the election of John F. Kennedy there was a
tremendous shift in Hollywood film: a fresh wave of actors (with Marlon Brando, Montgomery
Clift, Paul Newman, and James Dean) whose talent and lives seemed to be inseparable in their
work, came to the forefront of film-making. This Rebel style brought a completely new attitude
and look to the screen; the leather jacket and provocative stare of a Brando, the prole clothes
and the broodingly cool demeanour of a Clift became the aesthetic correlative of an American
version of the existentialist view of life. G. Bruce Boyer analyses the sartorial and philosophical
revolution brought about by the representatives of this first counterculture, and the evolution of
the Rebel style.

1217: Lincoln is not a safe place to be. A French army has captured the city, and the terrified
citizens huddle in the rubble of their homes as the castle, the last remaining loyal stronghold in
the region, is besieged. Edwin Weaver finds himself riding into grave danger after his lord
volunteers him for a perilous mission: he must infiltrate the city, identify the traitors who are
helping the enemy, and return to pass on the intelligence. The last man who attempted such a
thing was captured by the French, his head hacked off and catapulted over the castle wall as a
warning. The city is awash with violence and blood, and Edwin is pushed to the limit as he has to
decide what he is prepared to do to protect others. He might be willing to lay down his own life,
but would he, could he, kill? The second book in C.B. Hanley's popular Mediaeval Mystery series,
following 'The Sins of the Father'.

He arrived unannounced, where and when she needed him most . . .
Forty-year-old Sandy Richards is a successful music teacher, wife, and mother living a
comfortable middle class life in a small Midwestern town. But behind her warm smile and easy
laugh is a heavy burden she cannot release. During her childhood, Sandy (or Shadow as just
about everyone knew her) was inseparable from her larger-than-life father, a World War II hero
she adored.
Sandy followed him everywhere, hung on his every word, and loved him with all her heart as
only a young child can. Sometimes loving him was more difficult than others, especially when he
was there and then he was gone right in front of her eyes without ever leaving the house. For
reasons she would not fully understand until many years later, something went horribly wrong
and their relationship fractured, seemingly forever, when her father died of lung cancer on one
long hot summer evening. His passing left Shadow alone to sort through his warehouse of junk,
an old storage facility jammed with emotions so overwhelming they balanced her on the edge of
suicide. Then, when and where she needed him most, a stranger entered her life. And
everything changed once more.
Inspired by real events, 'The Final Service' offers a riveting story about human nature, emotional
abandonment, and how unfulfilled dreams left a middle-aged woman on the brink of personal
destruction until one event forever altered the core of her belief system and her life. It is a story
of faith, family, and forgiveness, and the realisation that forces larger and more powerful than
ourselves are at work in our lives in ways we are unable to fully understand.

In this sequel to the acclaimed novel 'The Foundling Boy', Michel Deon's hero comes to manhood
not through combat but by discovering truths about desire and possession, sex and love, and the
nuances that lie between crudely drawn battle lines.
In the aftermath of French defeat in July 1940, twenty yearold Jean Arnaud and his ally, the charming conman Palfy, are hiding out at a brothel in
Clermont-Ferrand, having narrowly escaped a firing squad. At a military parade, Jean falls for a
beautiful stranger, Claude, who will help him forget his adolescent heartbreak but bring far more
serious troubles of her own.
Having safely reached occupied Paris, the friends mingle with art smugglers and forgers, social
climbers, showbiz starlets, bluffers, swindlers and profiteers, French and German, as Jean learns
to make his way in a world of murky allegiances. But beyond the social whirl, the war cannot
stay away forever...

The story of Thomas Hardy’s death told by his housemaid Nellie.
1928. As Thomas Hardy lies on his death bed at his Dorset home, Max Gate, a tug-of-war is
taking place over his legacy ... and the eventual fate of his mortal remains. What counts for
more: the wishes of his family and dutiful second wife, Florence? the opinion of his literary
friends? Hardy's own express desires? or "the will of the nation"?
Narrated with wit and brutal honesty by housemaid Nellie Titterington, 'Max Gate' is both an
entertaining insight into the eccentricities of a writer's life, and a raw, intriguing tale of torn
loyalty, ownership and jealousy.

Nature's way of storing fruits, vegetables and preserves.
Whether as a way to manage challenging economic times or retain a garden's bounty, root
cellars are making a big comeback.
This book takes a fresh look at the art, science and romance of building and stocking a root
cellar. There are detailed illustrated construction guides for making four different kinds of root
cellars that are functional and attractive. These include never-before-seen models for apartment
and condo dwellers and home owners without a basement.
The Root Cellar Book provides technical information on using photovoltaics (solar cells) and other
energy technologies to enhance a root cellar's performance and ecological sustainability. It also
includes must-know information on how to choose, store and manage a supply of fruits,
vegetables, nuts and preserves.
The book features 100 recipes that call for stored produce, many of which also make use of the
root cellar's specific environment, such as sauerkraut and barrel-fermented dill pickles. These
classic dishes, many with new twists, include:
•Classic leek and potato soup
•Golden puffed potato puddings
•Maple pecan crumble apple pie
•Classic carrot cake
•Spiced pear butter
•Three-onion relish
Root cellars are the best natural way to store food, and this book is the most complete and

century. Bocuse earned his first Michelin star in 1958 and won the Meilleur Ouvrier de France
contest three years later. He was awarded his second Michelin star in 1960. The awarding of his
third Michelin star, in 1965, was the culmination of the great work he had achieved throughout
his career.

Canning, Cuing, Infusing and Bottling Italian Flavors and Traditions
Capture the flavours of Italy with more than 150 recipes for conserves, pickles, sauces, liqueurs,
infusions, and other preserves
The notion of preserving shouldn't be limited to American jams and jellies, and in this book,
author Domenica Marchetti turns our gaze to the ever-alluring flavours and ingredients of Italy.
There, abundant produce and other Mediterranean ingredients lend themselves particularly well
to canning, bottling, and other preserving methods. Think of marinated artichokes in olive oil,
classic giardiniera, or, of course, the late-summer tradition of putting up tomato sauce. But in
this book we get so much more, from Marchetti's in-person travels across the regions of Italy as
well as the recipes handed down through her family: sweet and sour peppers, Marsala-spiked
apricot jam, lemon-infused olive oil, and her grandmother's amarene, sour cherries preserved in
alcohol. Beyond canning and pickling, the book also includes recipes for making cheese, curing
meats, infusing liqueurs, and even a few confections, plus recipes for finished dishes so you can
savour each treasured jar all year long.
AUTHOR:
A former newspaper reporter, Domenica Marchetti is the author of six cookbooks on Italian
cooking, including 'Ciao Biscotti' and 'The Glorious Pasta of Italy'. Her articles and recipes have
been featured in The Washington Post, Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, and Cooking Light, and on
Leite's Culinaria and NPR.org's Kitchen Window, among others.
SELLING POINTS:
• A new twist on a perennial favourite: Preserving is an enduring category and, with the
increasing popularity of DIY projects like homemade pickles, spirits, and even charcuterie, a
trend that continues to expand.
• Covers a wide range of techniques: There's an entry point for every interest: canning,
pickling, preserving in oil, curing, infusing liqueurs, and even a little charcuterie, cheese-making,
and confectionery.
• Experienced author with Italian roots: Marchetti is an expert on Italian cuisine whose family
hails from Abruzzo. Her six previous books on Italian cooking have been well received, and she
regularly leads culinary tours of various Italian regions.

*** Winner of James Beard Award - International Section***
Ever since he opened Zahav in 2008, chef Michael Solomonov has been turning heads with his
original interpretations of modern Israeli cuisine, attracting notice from the New York Times, Bon
Appetit, ("an utter and total revelation"), and Eater ("Zahav defines Israeli cooking in America").
Zahav showcases the melting-pot cooking of Israel, especially the influences of the Middle East,
North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe. Solomonov's food includes little dishes
called mezze, such as the restaurant's insanely popular fried cauliflower; a hummus so ethereal
that it put Zahav on the culinary map; and a pink lentil soup with lamb meatballs that one critic
called "Jerusalem in a bowl." It also includes a majestic dome of Persian wedding rice and a
whole roasted lamb shoulder with pomegranate and chickpeas that's a celebration in itself. All
Solomonov's dishes are brilliantly adapted to local and seasonal ingredients.
Zahav tells an authoritative and personal story of how Solomonov embraced the food of his
birthplace. With its blend of technique and passion, this book shows readers how to make his
food their own.
AUTHOR:
Michael Solomonov grew up in Pittsburgh and Israel and won the 2011 James Beard Award for
Best Chef MidAtlantic. With his business partner, Steven Cook, he owns Philadelphia's Percy

Austere Gardens:
Thoughts on Landscape, Restraint,
and Attending
Author: TREIB MARC
ISBN: 9781935935384
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 108
Category: Gardens
RRP: $27.99

Austere Gardens suggests another way to look at the landscape, the garden, and perhaps the
entire world around us. It suggests that being open to other ways of observing and sensing can
yield new insights and rewards, and that interest is found in places unassuming and overlooked
as well as those complex and assertive. Perceiving is only one half the story, however. Realizing
places using simple acts and reduced means is the other half. The history of garden-making
reveals continued attempts to create an Eden, to surpass our given environment in abundance
and delight, and by selected instruments transcend the constraints of site, topography, and
climate. The alternative to this garden of inclusion lies in the landscapes of reduction and
compression, for example the dry gardens of Japan. These might be termed austere gardens.
The word austere, as used in this essay, does not imply asceticism, but merely modesty and
restraint. Austere landscapes may first appear devoid of interest if noticed at all. To those who
do not look beyond their surfaces, these sites, and the world outside them, usually appear plain
and uninteresting, or even lacking of the very properties by which we define a garden. But there
are sensual, aesthetic, and even philosophical, pleasures to be gained from these seemingly dull
fields should we attempt to appreciate them. These qualities, normally associated with
abundance and complexity, may be found in a different way, and at a different level, in austere
terrain. Although the subject of the small book is gardens, or more broadly taken, landscapes
that may be read as gardens, many of the examples are nonetheless drawn from art and
architecture, from history as well as contemporary times. The images that accompany the text
tell their own stories, illustrating what can be accomplished using frugal means or through basic
acts like digging, piling, planting, cutting, and clearing. In an era where resources appear to be
dwindling and populations growing, attitudes that value simplicity and reduction also gain a moral
dimension.

- through visits to and discussion with craftsmen in the UK and beyond - explores the contribution
such work makes to his garden design. The third section constitutes a wider investigation of
Luciano's influences under the broad themes of water, colour and texture, illustrating with
photographs and words exactly what it is about the world that inspires him and how that is
manifested in his designs, with specific reference to his gardens for the RHS Chelsea Flower
Show in 2014 and the Venice Biennale in 2015. The gardens are described and illustrated in full
with specially commissioned photographs by Andrew Montgomery and Carl Bengston. Full plants
lists are also included.

***Shortlisted for the Cross Sports Book Awards Rugby Book of the Year 2016***
When Britain's Empire went to war in August 1914, rugby players were the first to volunteer.
They led from the front and paid a disproportionate price. In 1919, a grateful Mother Country
hosted a rugby tournament: sevens teams at eight venues, playing 17 matches to declare a first
'world champion'. There had never been an international team tournament like it. For the first
time teams from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Britain and France were
assembled in one place. Rugby held the first ever 'World Cup'. It was a moment of triumph, a
celebration of military victory, of Commonwealth and Allied unity, and of rugby values, moral
and physical. In 2015 the tournament returns to England as the world remembers the Centenary
of the Great War. Values of teamwork, respect, discipline were forged and tested in war – and
enjoyment of rugby helped men through it. This is the story of rugby's journey through the First
World War to its first World Cup, and how those values endure today..
AUTHOR:
Stephen Cooper has played and coached rugby for over forty years. After Cambridge, he
worked in advertising. His first book 'The Final Whistle' won 'Rugby Book of the Year 2013' and
was shortlisted for 'The Times Sports Book of the Year'. His grandfather survived the Battle of
the Somme and inspired in him a lifelong fascination with the First World War.
SELLING POINTS:
• The Rugby World Cup 2015, hosted in England, will attract 2.3 million fans
• Sequel to Stephen Cooper's powerful 'The Final Whistle' winner of 'Rugby Book of the Year

France and Britain came together to strengthen the bonds made on the battlefield on the sports
field

The spiced aroma of frangipani, sweeping beaches, dramatic landscapes inhabited by beautiful
people—these are the popular images of Bali, but the legendary island is also a magnet for
celebrities, artists, and generations of intriguing eccentrics and intrepid explorers. Islands occupy
a hallowed place in literature and mythology, and among islands Bali is the quintessence.
Accepting the presence of the unseen spiritual universe is a hallmark of the island's attitude.
Recently popularised by the best-selling novel 'Eat, Pray, Love', Bali is currently experiencing a
boom, sparking concerns and debates about maintaining the balance of the island's ecosystem.
In the Spirit of Bali explores the many facets of this mythical island, from its verdant
topography, intricate colonial history, and deeply rooted traditions and rituals, to the recent
influx of hard-partying holiday-makers, holistic enlightenment seekers, bohemian expat artists,
and new age entrepreneurs. Featuring beautiful original photography by Isabella Ginanneschi, 'In
the Spirit of Bali' includes a comprehensive guide to hotels, resorts, villas, restaurants, temples,
yoga retreats and holistic resources, nightclubs, sightseeing, entertainment, and recreation.
AUTHOR:
Isabella Ginanneschi began her career as an art director in Milan, where she collaborated on
high-profile fashion campaigns for Vogue and other publications. Her talents led her to New York,
where she worked for Barneys New York, Mademoiselle, and Details. Her editorials have also
been featured in Elle Decoration, Architectural Digest, Robb Report, and InStyle. Her portfolio
includes clients such as Calvin Klein, Diesel, John Hardy, and Cole Haan, and as an art director
she has collaborated with the most renowned fashion photographers. Ginanneschi's fine art
photography is represented by Staley Wise Gallery. Her previous books include 'At Home in Bali'
and 'Bali: Sustainable Visions' (Abbeville Press). She currently lives between New York and Bali.
A long-time resident of Bali, British-born Duncan Murray Kirk is an eco-conscious materials
designer whose goal is to reconcile nature with technology and to promote sustainable design. He
worked in the music and technology industries in the UK and in Australia before first visiting Bali
in 1980, and the island became a catalyst for his creative endeavours. Kirk has produced
eco-friendly accessories for fashion labels including Monsoon, Jigsaw, and Esprit, and he
developed Meshglass, a stained-glass decor surfacing that combines traditional Balinese
craftsmanship with digital design. Previously he wrote Bali: Sustainable Visions with photographer

Introduction and Notes by James Fowler, Senior Lecturer in French, University of Kent.
Voltaire is held to be one of the three greatest French writers of the eighteenth century. He
fought against religious persecution, bigotry and injustice throughout his life, and has often been
seen as one of the thinkers who prepared the way for the French Revolution. This volume
contains: 'Zadig' (1748), the story of a young man who becomes king of Babylon; 'Candide'
(1759), Voltaire’s most famous tale of all; and (in a new translation) 'The Ingenu' (1767), in
which the hero, raised by Huron Indians, discovers the ways of Europe. The heroes of these
tales are young, handsome, talented, and naïve. All three are animated by Voltaire’s sparkling
wit, but also by his dark satire of ancien regime society. The volume closes with a new
translation of 'Nanine', Voltaire’s three-act comedy which was seen, first as dangerously
meritocratic, then as anti-revolutionary. The hero falls in love with a servant girl: but will he
overcome society’s prejudice and marry her?
AUTHOR:
Francois-Marie Arouet (1694-1778) was better known under his nom de plume of Voltaire. A
prolific writer of over 2,000 books and booklets and over 20,000 letters, he is best remembered
for novels such as 'Candide'.

Author: DICKENS CHARLES

Pages: 468
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgaceh+
Introduction and Notes by Dr Adrienne Gavin, Canterbury Christ Church University College.
Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz).
Dickens wrote of 'David Copperfield': "Of all my books I like this the best". Millions of readers in
almost every language on earth have subsequently come to share the author's own enthusiasm
for this greatly loved classic, possibly because of its autobiographical form.
Following the life of David through many sufferings and great adversity, the reader will also find
many light-hearted moments in the company of a host of English fiction's greatest stars including
Mr Micawber, Traddles, Uriah Heep, Creakle, Betsy Trotwood, and the Peggoty family.
Few readers, arriving at the end of 'David Copperfield', will not wish to echo Thackeray's famous
praise, having read the first monthly part – "Bravo Dickens".
AUTHOR:
Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870), pen-name "Boz", was the
most popular English novelist of the Victorian era and one of the most popular of all time. He
created some of literature's most memorable characters. His novels and short stories have never
gone out of print. A concern with what he saw as the pressing need for social reform is a theme
that runs throughout his work.
Much of his work first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialised form, a favoured way
of publishing fiction at the time. Dickens, unlike others who would complete entire novels before
serial publication commenced, often wrote his in parts, in the order in which they were meant to
appear. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one cliff-hanger after
another to keep the public eager for the next instalment.

With an Introduction by Joanna Trollope.
Trollope’s delightful novel recounts the fortunes of Doctor Thorne, an upright and principled
country doctor, and his niece Mary. She falls in love with Frank Gresham, heir to the heavily
mortgaged Greshambury estate, but he is constrained in his choices by the need to marry well
so that he can restore the family fortunes.
The vicissitudes of Mary and Frank's courtship are lovingly detailed with all the wit and satire that
show Trollope at his finest. In this social comedy, full of snobbery, hypocrisy and self-seeking,
we meet characters from the city and cathedral of Barchester, and are introduced to the
grandiloquent de Courcy family, whose pretensions mark its members among the author's most
felicitous creations, as well as the down-to-earth heiress Miss Dunstable and the deplorable Sir
Roger Scatcherd.
AUTHOR:
Anthony Trollope (1815 -1882) was an English novelist who wrote forty-seven novels and a
wealth of other material, both fiction and non-fiction. Enormously popular during his lifetime, his
reputation has fluctuated since, partly because in his posthumous autobiography he confessed
quite openly to writing for money, which offended many critics. 'The Way We Live Now' is
probably his most popular novel now.

Henry IV Parts 1 and 2
Author: SHAKESPEARE WILLIAM

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 256
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cchcbf+
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English Literature,
University of Sussex.
In 'Henry IV, Part 1', the King is in a doubly ironic position. His rebellion against Richard II was
successful, but now he himself is beset by rebels, led by the charismatic Harry Hotspur. The
King’s son, Prince Hal, seems to be more concerned with the pleasures of the tavern world and
the company of the fat rogue, Falstaff, than with concerns of state. Eventually, however, Hal
proves a courageous foe of the rebels.
This history play is lively in its interplay of political intrigue and boisterous comedy, subtle in the
connections between high statecraft and low craftiness, exuberant in its range of vivid
characters, and memorable in its thematic concern with honour, loyalty and the quest for power.
In 'Henry IV, Part 2', the King is ailing, Falstaff is ageing, and the kingdom itself, where rebellion
is still rife, seems diseased or debilitated. The comedy has a melancholy undertone, and the
politics verge on the Machiavellian. Eventually, the resourceful Hal, inheriting the crown as Henry

AUTHOR:
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) needs little introduction. As we approach the four-hundredth
anniversary of his death, his reputation as one of the greatest writers in the English language is
undeniable - except by those who attribute his works to other writers.

Ivanhoe
Author: SCOTT SIR WALTER
ISBN: 9781853262029
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 249
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgcacj+
Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury.
Set in the reign of Richard I, Coeur de Lion, 'Ivanhoe' is packed with memorable incidents sieges, ambushes and combats - and equally memorable characters: Cedric of Rotherwood, the
die-hard Saxon; his ward Rowena; the fierce Templar knight, Sir Brian de Bois-Gilbert; the Jew,
Isaac of York, and his beautiful, spirited daughter Rebecca; Wamba and Gurth, jester and
swineherd respectively.
Scott explores the conflicts between the Crown and the powerful Barons, between the Norman
overlords and the conquered Saxons, and between Richard and his scheming brother, Prince
John. At the same time he brings into the novel the legendary Robin Hood and his band, and
creates a brilliant, colourful account of the age of chivalry with all its elaborate rituals and
costumes and its values of honour and personal glory.
AUTHOR:
Sir Walter Scott (1771 – 1832) was a Scottish novelist, playwright and poet. He is notable for
being the first British author that gained an international reputation during his lifetime. Although
the romanticism of his historic fiction later fell out of favour with critics, his major novels, such as
'Rob Roy' and 'Ivanhoe', are acknowledged as classic works of literature.

Jude the Obscure
Author: HARDY THOMAS
ISBN: 9781853262616
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 146
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgcgbg+
This book includes introduction and notes by Norman Vance, Professor of English, University of
Sussex.
Jude Fawley is a rural stone mason with intellectual aspirations. Frustrated by poverty and the
indifference of the academic institutions at the University of Christminster, his only chance of
fulfilment seems to lie in his relationship with his unconventional cousin, Sue Bridehead. But life
as social outcasts proves undermining, and when tragedy occurs, Sue has no resilience and Jude
is left in despair.
Hardy’s portrait of Jude, the idealist and dreamer who is a prisoner of his own physical nature, is
one of the most haunting and desperate of his creations. 'Jude the Obscure' is a dark yet
compassionate account of the insurmountable frustrations of human existence which reflect
Hardy’s yearning for the spiritual values of the past and his despair at their decline.
AUTHOR:
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) had a writing career which spanned more than fifty years, and he is
now considered both a major novelist and poet. His tales of Wessex, a fictional amalgamation of
various south-west counties, have a lasting appeal, and many, such as 'The Mayor of
Casterbridge' and 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' have become popular television adaptations.

9HSLIOA*ccbigc+
Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction by A. D. P. Briggs.
As Fyodor Karamazov awaits an amorous encounter, he is violently done to death. The three
sons of the old debauchee are forced to confront their own guilt or complicity. Who will own to
parricide? The reckless and passionate Dmitri? The corrosive intellectual Ivan? Surely not the
chaste novice monk Alyosha? The search reveals the divisions which rack the brothers, yet
paradoxically unite them. Around the writhings of this one dysfunctional family Dostoevsky
weaves a dense network of social, psychological and philosophical relationships.
At the same time he shows - from the opening 'scandal' scene in the monastery to a personal
appearance by an eccentric Devil - that his dramatic skills have lost nothing of their edge. 'The
Karamazov Brothers', completed a few months before Dostoevsky's death in 1881, remains for
many the high point of his genius as novelist and chronicler of the modern malaise.
It cast a long shadow over D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Albert Camus, and other giants of
twentieth-century European literature.
AUTHOR:
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is a Russian novelist. Of his eleven novels, his three

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.
'Kim' is Rudyard Kipling’s finest work. Now controversial, this novel is a memorably vivid
evocation of the life and landscapes of India in the late nineteenth century. Kim himself is a
resourceful lad who befriends a lama, an ageing priest; and both embark on a combined quest.
Whereas Kim has an insatiable interest in the varied activities around him, the lama seeks
redemption from the "Wheel of Life". Kim becomes involved in the "Great Game", undertaking
espionage for the British rulers.
This engrossing and moving novel, with its diversity of memorable characters, offers many
insights into political, religious and social tensions.
AUTHOR:
Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) was an English poet, short-story writer and novelist. His
stories of the British in India reached their height of popularity in the 1890s, but opinion turned
against him as the public perception of the days of the Empire changed. With the passing of
years, he can now be viewed from a historical perspective as a recorder of the world as it was
then. His books for children, including 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Second Jungle' have an
enduring appeal.

Lady Chatterley's Lover

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 304
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cceiih+
Notes and Introduction by David Ellis, University of Kent at Canterbury.
ith its four-letter words and its explicit descriptions of sexual intercourse, Lady Chatterley's Lover
is the novel with which D.H. Lawrence is most often associated.
First published privately in Florence in 1928, it only became a world-wide best-seller after
Penguin Books had successfully resisted an attempt by the British Director of Public Prosecutions
to prevent them offering an unexpurgated edition to the general public. The famous 'trial of Lady
Chatterley' heralded the sexual revolution of the coming decades and signalled the defeat of
Establishment prudery.
Yet Lawrence himself was hardly a liberationist and the conservatism of many aspects of his
novel would later lay it open to attacks from the political avant-garde and from feminists. The
story of how the wife of Sir Clifford Chatterley responds when her husband returns from the war
paralysed from the waist down, and of the tender love which then develops between her and her
husband's gamekeeper, is a complex one open to a variety of conflicting interpretations.
This edition of the novel offers an occasion for a new generation of readers to discover what all
the fuss was about; to appraise Lawrence's bitter indictment of modern industrial society, and to
ask themselves what lessons there might be for the 21st century in his intense exploration of the
complicated relations between love and sex.
AUTHOR:
D(avid) H(erbert Richards) Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English novelist and poet, whose works
were not only controversial during his lifetime, but long after his death. The explicit sexuality of
his books, including his most popular work, 'Sons and Lovers', reached a peak with 'Lady
Chatterley's Lover', his final book, that was not published in an unexpurgated form in the U.K.
until after a court case for obscenity was dismissed, in 1960.

Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' is one of the greatest tragic dramas the world has known. Macbeth
himself, a brave warrior, is fatally impelled by supernatural forces, by his proud wife, and by his
own burgeoning ambition. As he embarks on his murderous course to gain and retain the crown

himself. The cruel ironies of their destiny are conveyed in poetry of unsurpassed power. In the

None of the great Victorian novels is more vivid and readable than 'The Mayor of Casterbridge'.
Set in the heart of Hardy's Wessex, the 'partly real, partly dream country' he founded on his

The fast-moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Patsy Stoneman, University of Hull
Set in the mid-19th century, and written from the author's first-hand experience, 'North and
South' follows the story of the heroine's movement from the tranquil but moribund ways of
southern England to the vital but turbulent north. Elizabeth Gaskell's skilful narrative uses an
unusual love story to show how personal and public lives were woven together in a newly
industrial society.
This is a tale of hard-won triumphs - of rational thought over prejudice and of humane care over
blind deference to the market. Readers in the twenty-first century will find themselves absorbed
as this Victorian novel traces the origins of problems and possibilities which are still challenging a
hundred and fifty years later: the complex relationships, public and private, between men and
women of different classes.
AUTHOR:
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, nee Stevenson (29 September 1810 – 12 November 1865), often
referred to simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was an English novelist and short story writer during the

portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are of
interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature

Pages: 832

9HSLIPD*cgbjeh+
With an Introduction and Notes by Deborah Wynne, Chester College. Illustrated by Marcus
Stone.
'Our Mutual Friend', Dickens' last complete novel, gives one of his most comprehensive and
penetrating accounts of Victorian society. Its vision of a culture stifled by materialistic values
emerges not just through its central narratives, but through its apparently incidental characters
and scenes.
The chief of its several plots centres on John Harmon who returns to England as his father's heir.
He is believed drowned under suspicious circumstances - a situation convenient to his wish for
anonymity until he can evaluate Bella Wilfer whom he must marry to secure his inheritance.
The story is filled with colourful characters and incidents - the faded aristocrats and parvenus
gathered at the Veneering's dinner table, Betty Higden and her terror of the workhouse and the
greedy plottings of Silas Wegg.
AUTHOR:
When 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club', his first novel, was published, Charles
Dickens (1812-1870) was just twenty-four. Published, like most of his books, in weekly
instalments, it started him on a path to fame, wealth and international acclaim. Widely
considered to be a literary genius second only to Shakespeare, Dickens' works, such as 'Great
Expectations' and 'A Christmas Carol', remain as popular as ever.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.
'A Pair of Blue Eyes', though early in the sequence of Hardy's novels, is lively and gripping. Its
dramatic cliff-hanging episode, for example, is at once tense, ironic, feministic and erotic.
With settings in Wessex and London, the novel also has some strongly autobiographical features,
as the blue-eyed heroine, Elfride Swancourt, is based largely on Emma Gifford, who became
Thomas Hardy's first wife. Elfride's vivacious nature attracts several lovers, but she is beset by
sexual prejudice, and the ensuing ironies reveal the constraints of her times.
'A Pair of Blue Eyes' provides an engaging and moving experience for today's readers.

The Plays of Oscar Wilde

9HSLIOA*ccebie+
With an Introduction and Notes by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of London
Oscar Wilde took London by storm with his first comedy, 'Lady Windermere's Fan'. The
combination of dazzling wit, subtle social criticism, sumptuous settings and the theme of a guilty
secret proved a winner, both here and in his next three plays, 'A Woman of No Importance', 'An
Ideal Husband', and his undisputed masterpiece, 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.
This volume includes all Wilde's plays from his early tragedy 'Vera' to the controversial 'Salome'
and the little known fragments, 'La Sainte Courtisane' and 'A Florentine Tragedy'. The edition
affords a rare chance to see Wilde's best known work in the context of his entire dramatic
output, and to appreciate plays which have hitherto received scant critical attention. Wilde's plays
have never failed to delight audiences and are a lasting testimony to their author’s supreme wit
and theatrical genius.
AUTHOR:
"I have put my genius into my life, all I have put into my works is my talents". In many ways,
the written works of Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) are overshadowed by the drama of his life, and
the incandescence of his personality, but they should not be undervalued. Whether it is the wit of
his plays, the intriguing premise of his only novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', the sporadic
brilliance of his poetry or the delightful charm of his children's stories, not just the talent but the
genius of the man shines through.

With an Introduction and Notes by Lionel Kelly, University of Reading.
In 1915, Lawrence's frank representation of sexuality in 'The Rainbow' caused a furore and the
novel was seized by the police and banned almost as soon as it was published. Today it is
recognised as one of the classic English novels of the twentieth century.
'The Rainbow' is about three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire from the
1840s to the early years of the twentieth century. Within this framework Lawrence's essential
concern is with the passional lives of his characters as he explores the pressures that determine
their lives, using a religious symbolism in which the 'rainbow' of the title is his unifying motif.
His primary focus is on the individual's struggle to growth and fulfilment within marriage and
changing social circumstances, a process shown to grow more difficult through the generations.
Young Ursula Brangwen, whose story is continued in 'Women in Love', is finally the central figure
in Lawrence's anatomy of the confining structures of English social life and the impact of
industrialisation and urbanisation on the human psyche.

of the Heath becomes all-embracing, while Clym becomes a travelling preacher in an attempt to

In the renowned translation by Edward FitzGerald, with an introduction by Professor Cedric
Watts.
Here is Edward FitzGerald's original translation of the Rubaiyat, the collection of poems attributed
to the Persian astronomer and mathematician, Omar Khayyam. FitzGerald's distinctive version
(1859), with its oriental imagery and sensual warmth, made an exotic appeal to the Victorian
imagination. Its scepticism fitted a time of increasing religious doubt; its romantic melancholy
resonated with the writings of Matthew Arnold and Thomas Hardy; and its epicureanism heralded
the Aesthetic Movement.
It has inspired composers, rock groups, artists and film-makers. As rendered by FitzGerald, the
Rubaiyat remains a seductively subversive poem.
AUTHOR:
The greatest achievements of Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) were in the field of mathematics, but
in the West he is now remembered for The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, although some doubts
exist as to whether it was his work. The book became known in the West following Edward

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William
Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the
material a careful reappraisal.
'The Tempest' is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeare's late comedies.
Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to
defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic,
his 'art', and prepares to return to the mainland. 'The Tempest' has often been regarded as
Shakespeare's 'farewell to the stage' before his retirement.
In the past, critics emphasised the romantically beautiful features of 'The Tempest', seeing it as
an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however, 'The Tempest' has also been treated as a
potently political drama which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism. Frequently
staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced numerous poets and novelists.

RRP: $6.95

With an Introduction and Notes by Henry Claridge, Senior Lecturer, School of English, University
of Kent at Canterbury.
'Tender is the Night' is a story set in the hedonistic high society of Europe during the 'Roaring
Twenties'. A wealthy schizophrenic, Nicole Warren, falls in love with Dick Diver - her psychiatrist.
The resulting saga of the Divers' troubled marriage, and their circle of friends, includes a cast of
aristocratic and beautiful people, unhappy love affairs, a duel, incest, and the problems inherent
in the possession of great wealth. Despite cataloguing a maelstrom of interpersonal conflict,
'Tender is the Night' has a poignancy and warmth that springs from the quality of Fitzgerald's
writing and the tragic personal experiences on which the novel is based.
Six years separate 'Tender is the Night' and 'The Last Tycoon', the novel Fitzgerald left
unfinished at his death in December 1940. Fitzgerald lived in Hollywood more or less
continuously from July 1937 until his death, and a novel about the film industry at the height of
'the studio system' centred on the working life of a top producer was begun in 1939. Even in its
incomplete state 'The Last Tycoon' remains the greatest American novel about Hollywood and
contains some of Fitzgerald's most brilliant writing.
AUTHOR:
There are few, if any, classic novelists whose current popularity exceeds that of F. Scott
Fitzgerald (1896-1940). With his novels and short stories of 'The Jazz Age', Fitzgerald is
considered one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century, and 'The Great

'This Side of Paradise' tells the story of Amory Blaine, the only child of wealthy parents, whose
journey from adolescence to adulthood follows him from prep school through to Princeton
University, where his literary talents flourish, in contrast to his academic failure. A sequence of
love affairs with beautiful young women are fatally damaged by the collapse of his family’s
fortune, and the novel ends with him poised to face the challenge of making his own way in the
world. Composed in an unconventional narrative mode, the novel is a rich fusion of satiric and
romance idioms, and found a captivated audience on its publication in1920. It made Fitzgerald
rich and famous overnight.
'The Beautiful and Damned' is a bleaker version of the corrosive power of wealth and its
privileges, one of Fitzgerald’s abiding subjects. Anthony Patch, is heir to a huge fortune, whose
marriage to the beautiful and indolent Gloria is increasingly shadowed by Anthony’s fall into
alcoholism. Though he wins a lawsuit to gain his inheritance of millions of dollars, it is a pyrrhic
victory, for he is now a physically and morally broken man.

Edited and with an Introduction by Dr Keith Carabine, Chairperson of the Joseph Conrad Society
of Great Britain.
As these three specially commissioned stories amply demonstrate, Conrad is our greatest writer
of the sea. His characters are tested by dramatic events 'that show in the light of day the inner
worth of a man, the edge of his temper, and the fibre of his stuff; that reveal the quality of his
resistance and the secret stuff of his pretences, not only to others but also to himself'.
In 'Typhoon', Conrad's funniest story, Captain MacWhirr blunders into a hurricane that reveals
the sea's treachery, violence and terror.
'Falk' is desperate to get married, but first he must tell of his terrible experiences as sole
survivor of a stricken ship that once drifted into the ice-caps of Antarctica.
'The Shadow-Line' is a poignant and beautiful story. Written during the First World War and
based on Conrad's fond evocation of his own first command, it expresses his solidarity with all
who were obliged to cross in early youth the shadow-line of their war-torn generation. Includes a
glossary of nautical terms.
AUTHOR:
Born Jozef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski in Poland in 1857, Conrad served in the British
Merchant Service (1878-94), travelling to Africa, Australia, India, Indonesia and the Orient,
becoming a British citizen in 1886. Turning to full-time writing in 1894, his years at sea featured
heavily in his early works. His novels, such as 'Lord Jim', and his novella 'Heart of Darkness' (on
which the film 'Apocalypse Now' was based) have brought him an enduring reputation.

'The Turn of the Screw' is the classic ghost story for which James is most remembered. Set in a

'The Aspern Papers' is a tale of Americans in Europe, a theme in which Henry James is at his

against the settings of a Venetian palace.
AUTHOR:
Although born in the United States, Henry James (1843-1916) was educated in Europe, and
spend most of his later life in England, eventually becoming a British citizen. His novels often
illustrate the clash of cultures between America and Europe, and in truth were not particularly
popular during his lifetime, particularly in the country of his birth. In recent years, his novels
have been adapted for film and television, and his supernatural stories, particularly 'The Turn of
the Screw', remain highly regarded.

With an Introduction and Notes by Jeff Wallace, University of Glamorgan
These stories of myth and resurrection, of uncanny events and violent impulse, were with one
exception written and published in the latter half of the 1920s, coinciding with the composition of
Lawrence's controversial masterpiece 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'.
At this time Lawrence declared himself to be 'really awful sick of writing'; yet here we find some
of his most beautiful, hauntingly melancholy fictions. In struggling to escape from their thwarted
lives and to achieve human 'tenderness', the characters embody and continue the major
preoccupations of Lawrence's work as a whole.
'Love Among the Haystacks' provides an early illustration of the intensity and innovation which
made Lawrence one of the most distinctive and important of twentieth-century writers.
AUTHOR:
D(avid) H(erbert Richards) Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English novelist and poet, whose works
were not only controversial during his lifetime, but long after his death. The explicit sexuality of
his books, including his most popular work, 'Sons and Lovers', reached a peak with 'Lady
Chatterley's Lover', his final book, that was not published in an unexpurgated form in the U.K.
until after a court case for obscenity was dismissed, in 1960.

RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cceafe+
Introduction and Notes by Jane Thomas, University of Hull.
'The Well-Beloved' completes the cycle of Hardy's great novels, reiterating his favourite themes
of man's eternal quest for perfection in both love and art, and the suffering that ensues. Jocelyn
Pierston, celebrated sculptor, tries to create an image of his ideal woman - his imaginary
Well-Beloved - in stone, just as he tries to find her in the flesh.
Powerful symbolism marks this romantic fantasy that Hardy has grounded firmly in reality with a
characteristically authentic rendering of location, the Isle of Slingers, or Portland as we know it.
Overt exploration of the relationship between erotic fascination and creativity makes this novel a
nineteenth-century landmark in the persistent debate about art, aesthetics and gender.
This volume breaks new ground by including in full the1892 serialised version of the novel – 'The
Pursuit of the Well-Beloved'.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dinny Thorold, University of Westminster
Gaskell's last novel, widely considered her masterpiece, follows the fortunes of two families in
nineteenth century rural England. At its core are family relationships – father, daughter and
step-mother, father and sons, father and step-daughter – all tested and strained by the romantic
entanglements that ensue.
Despite its underlying seriousness, the prevailing tone is one of comedy. Gaskell vividly portrays
the world of the late 1820s and the forces of change within it, and her vision is always humane
and progressive.
The story is full of acute observation and sympathetic character-study: the feudal squire clinging
to old values, his naturalist son welcoming the new world of science, the local doctor and his
scheming second wife, the two girls brought together by their parent’s marriage…
AUTHOR:
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, nee Stevenson (29 September 1810 – 12 November 1865), often
referred to simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was an English novelist and short story writer during the
Victorian era. She is perhaps best known for her biography of Charlotte Bronte. Her novels offer
a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are
of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature

Shakespeare's sonnets have an intensity of both feeling and meaning unmatched in English
sonnet form. They divide into two parts; the first 126 sonnets are addressed to a fair youth for
whom the poet has an obsessive love and the second chronicles his love for the notorious "Dark
Lady".'
In addition to the sonnets, this volume includes Shakespeare's two lengthy narrative poems on
classical themes, 'The Rape of Lucrece' which looks forward to the dark imagery of 'Macbeth',
and 'Venus and Adonis' which mixes ribaldry and tragedy in unique Shakespearean manner. 'The
Phoenix and the Turtle' is a beautiful metaphysical and allegorical short elegy, and takes its place
with Shakespeare's better-known poetry.

9HSLIPD*cgebjb+
With an Introduction by Emma Hartnoll.
Initially a vivacious, outgoing person, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) progressively withdrew into a
reclusive existence. An undiscovered genius during her lifetime, only seven out of her total of
1,775 poems were published prior to her death. She had an immense breadth of vision and a
passionate intensity and awe for life, love, nature, time and eternity.
Originally branded an eccentric, Emily Dickinson is now recognised as a major poet of great
depth, startling originality and courage for as she wrote: "Assent and you are sane; /Demure
you’re straightaway dangerous / And handled with a chain".
AUTHOR:
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1874) was an American poet who was almost unknown during her
lifetime. Extremely reclusive by nature, just a handful of her poems were published by friends
during her lifetime, and they were altered significantly to fit what they perceived to be the poetic
conventions of the time. Remarkably, it was not until 1955 that a complete, unaltered collection
of her poems was published, and she is now considered to be a major American poet.

With an Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Dr Bruce Woodcock, Senior Lecturer in English,
University of Hull.
Shelley's short, prolific life produced some of the most memorable and well-known lyrics of the
Romantic period. But he was also the most radical writer in the English literary tradition of his
day, a fiery political visionary committed to social change and progress.
The generous selection in this volume represents the wide range of his writing, both poetry and
prose. Arranged chronologically, the accompanying introductory essays set Shelley's works in
their historical, social and political context. They provide a vivid insight into the life and times of
this volcanic spirit whose inspiring voice called on the people of England to:
‘Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number;
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you.
Ye are many, they are few.’
(The Mask of Anarchy)
AUTHOR:
While the reputations of authors and poets can wax and wane both during their lives and the
years that follow, few have polarised opinion as much as Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). His
name is inextricably associated with the other Romantic poets, Byron and Keats, but his atheism
(and his appalling treatment of his wife) invoked genuine hatred while he lived, and the quality
of the poetry of the Romantics in general, and his in particular, has, at times, been much
derided. However, the list of his admirers is far longer than the list of his critics.

The First World War was one of seemingly endless and unremitting waste and sacrifice. 'Who will
remember, passing through this Gate, The unheroic Dead who fed the guns?' was Siegfried
Sassoon's anguished cry for those whose sacrifice seemed futile. Yet eighty years later it is
because of Sassoon and his fellow poets - Owen, Rosenberg, Sorley and many others - which we
do remember.
This new anthology will serve as an introduction to the poetry of that great conflict, and the
inclusion of a number of rarely anthologised poets, many from the ranks, as well as anonymous
poems and songs, serves to bring a quality of freshness to the selection.

'I saw something terrible rising up through the middle of the 'defence'. It rose with a steady
movement. I saw it pale and huge through the whirling funnel of cloud - a monstrous pallid snout
rising out of that unknowable abyss. It rose higher and higher. Through a thinning of the cloud I
saw one small eye... a pig's eye with a sort of vile understanding shining at the back of it'.
Thomas Carnacki is a ghost finder, an Edwardian psychic detective, investigating a wide range of
terrifying hauntings presented in the nine stories in this complete collection of his adventures.
Encountering such spine-chilling phenomena as 'The Whistling Room', the life-threatening dangers
of the phantom steed in 'The Horse of the Invisible' and the demons from the outside world in
'The Hog', Carnacki is constantly challenged by spiritual forces beyond our knowledge. To
complicate matters, he encounters human skullduggery also.
Armed with a camera, his Electric Pentacle and various ancient tomes on magic, Carnacki faces
the various dangers his supernatural investigations present with great courage. These exciting

Ghost Stories of Henry James

Binding: Paperback

RRP: $12.95
9HSLIOA*ccahae+
With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Scofield, University of Kent at Canterbury
Henry James was arguably the greatest practitioner of what has been called the psychological
ghost story. His stories explore the region which lies between the supernatural or
straightforwardly marvellous and the darker areas of the human psyche. This edition includes all
ten of his ghost stories, and as such is the fullest collection currently available.
The stories range widely in tone and type. They include 'The Jolly Corner', a compelling story of
psychological doubling; 'Owen Wingrave', which is also a subtle parable of military tradition; 'The
Friends of the Friends', a strange story of uncanny love; and 'The Private Life', which finds a
shrewd, high comedy in its ghostly theme.
The volume also includes James's great novella 'The Turn of the Screw', perhaps the most
ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.
AUTHOR:
Although born in the United States, Henry James (1843-1916) was educated in Europe, and
spend most of his later life in England, eventually becoming a British citizen. His novels often
illustrate the clash of cultures between America and Europe, and in truth were not particularly
popular during his lifetime, particularly in the country of his birth. In recent years, his novels
have been adapted for film and television, and his supernatural stories, particularly 'The Turn of
the Screw', remain highly regarded.

'… I read it and reread it, and wept and laughed and trembled with horror which at all times
assails me yet.'
With its strange, imaginative blend of horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert
W. Chambers' 'The King in Yellow' is a classic masterpiece of weird fiction. This series of vaguely
connected stories is linked by the presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings
fright, madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of futility and doom pervade
these pages like a sweet insidious poison. Dare you read it?
This collection has been called the most important book in American supernatural fiction between
Poe and the moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu Mythos, whose own fiction
was greatly influenced by this book stated that 'The King in Yellow' "achieves notable heights of
cosmic fear'.
AUTHOR:
Robert Chambers FRSE (1802 –1871) was a Scottish author, journal editor and publisher who,
like his elder brother William Chambers, the publisher and politician, was highly influential in
mid-19th century scientific and political circles. He was an early member of the Edinburgh
Phrenological Society, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a Fellow the Geological Society
of London, and was the anonymous author of Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, which
was so controversial that his authorship was not acknowledged until after his death.

With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies.
'The worst parts were the great masses of flesh of the monstrous Worm, in all its red and
sickening aspect… The sight was horrible enough, but, with the awful smell added, was simply
unbearable. The Worm's hole appeared to breathe forth death in its most repulsive forms.'
Here are two great, neglected horror novels by Bram Stoker, author of 'Dracula', together in one
volume for the first time. It is a double treat for lovers of blood-curdling fantasy fiction.
'The Lady of the Shroud', published here in its full and unabridged form, is a fascinating and
engrossing concoction of a vampire tale, Ruritanian adventure story and science fiction romance.
The novel fully demonstrates the breadth and ingenuity of Stoker's imagination.
The spine-chilling 'The Lair of the White Worm' features a monstrous worm secreted for
thousands of years in a bottomless well and able to metamorphose into a seductive woman of a
reptilian beauty who survives on her victim's life blood. The novel contains some of Stoker's
most graphic and grisly moments of horror.
AUTHOR:
It has been said of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', that it "not only set the standard for subsequent
novels in the horror-mystery genre but also helped establish the vampire as one of the most
recognizable figures in the popular arts." Stoker (1847-1912) wrote many other works of some
merit, but achieved lasting fame through his iconic invention.

With the Surete's top sleuth vying against him, Rouletabille is determined to prove only he can

'Night Shivers' presents a treasure trove of the stories of Mrs J. H. Riddell, one of the greatest
Victorian writers of ghost stories. These tales, many of which have been out of print for years,

even down into Hell itself.

Dubliners • A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • Ulysses • Finnegans Wake
'Dubliners', about Joyce’s native city, is faithful to his country, seeing it unflinchingly and
challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature. The stories in Dubliners show us truants,
seducers, hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, struggling musicians, poets, patriots, and
many more simply striving to get by.
'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' falls between the realism of 'Dubliners' and the
symbolism of 'Ulysses'. The novel is a highly autobiographical account of the youth of Stephen
Dedalus, who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of
the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his life in late 19th century
Ireland. Written with a light touch, it is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce's works.
'Ulysses' is James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece. Scandalously frank, it tells of the events
which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which
Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England and the
USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a
work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.
'Finnegan's Wake' is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia Plurabelle and their
family – their book, but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce's last
great work, it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like 'Ulysses', but, rather, formulated
as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. It also remains the most hilarious, ‘obscene’, book of
innuendos ever to be imagined.
AUTHOR:
James Joyce (1882 – 1941) was an Irish novelist and playwright, and is considered one of the
most influential writers of the 20th century. His short story collection, 'Dubliners', and his novels

It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes,
made his first appearance in 'A Study in Scarlet'. From 1891, beginning with 'The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes', the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur
Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted
by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson.
The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock
Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The
literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes
to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many
Victorian master criminals.
AUTHOR:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and writer. His works encompass a
wide variety of genres, and it was his historical novels that he considered his finest work.
However, posterity remembers him only as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Each new
generation discovers Holmes afresh, as the current TV and film adaptations demonstrate. Doyle
created a character so well known that he exists in the borderline between fiction and reality.

This collection brings together perhaps the finest of Dickens' shorter novels, filled with event,

'Oliver Twist' enhanced and strengthened Dickens' reputation and contains classic Dickensian
themes - grinding poverty, desperation, fear, temptation and the eventual triumph of good in
the face of great adversity.
'Hard Times' was attacked by Macaulay for its 'sullen socialism', but 20th-century critics - George
Bernard Shaw and F.R. Leavis praised it in the highest terms.
'A Tale of Two Cities', Dickens' greatest historical novel, traces the lives of a group of people
caught up in the cataclysm of the French Revolution and the Terror. A fascinating range of
characters and Dickens' usual superb command of language combine to make this an exciting
and tantalising story.
'Great Expectations' traces the life of Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man
of character. From its dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with
memorable characters - the blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the
eccentric Miss Havisham and the beautiful Estella.
AUTHOR:
Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870), pen-name "Boz", was the
most popular English novelist of the Victorian era and one of the most popular of all time. He
created some of literature's most memorable characters. His novels and short stories have never
gone out of print. A concern with what he saw as the pressing need for social reform is a theme
that runs throughout his work.
Much of his work first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialised form, a favoured way
of publishing fiction at the time. Dickens, unlike others who would complete entire novels before
serial publication commenced, often wrote his in parts, in the order in which they were meant to
appear. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one cliff-hanger after
another to keep the public eager for the next instalment.

Contents: 'The Communist Manifesto; The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844';
'Socialism: Utopian and Scientific'
With an introduction by Dr. Laurence Marlow.
A spectre is haunting Europe (and the world). Not, in the twenty-first century, the spectre of
communism, but the spectre of capitalism. Marx's prediction that the state would wither away of
its own accord has proved inaccurate, and he did not foresee the tyrannies which have ruled
large parts of the globe in his name. Indeed, he would have been appalled if he had witnessed
them. But his analysis of the evils and dangers of raw capitalism is as correct now as when it was
written, and some of his suggestions (progressive income tax, abolition of child labour, free
education for all children) are now accepted with little question.
In a world where capitalism is no longer held in check by fear of a communist alternative, 'The
Communist Manifesto' (with Socialism Utopian and Scientific, Engels's brief and clear exposition
of Marxist thought) is essential reading.
'The Condition of the Working Class in England' is Engels's first, and probably best-known, book.
With Henry Mayhew's 'London Labour and the London Poor', it was and is the outstanding study
of the working class in Victorian England.

Abridged, with an Introduction by Patrick Renshaw.
'Democracy in America' is a classic of political philosophy. Hailed by John Stuart Mill and Horace
Greely as the finest book ever written on the nature of democracy, it continues to be an
influential text on both sides of the Atlantic, above all in the emerging democracies of Eastern
Europe.
De Tocqueville examines the structures, institutions and operation of democracy, and shows how
Europe can learn from American success and failures. His central theme is the advancement of
the rule of the people, but he also predicts that slavery will bring about the 'most horrible of civil
wars', foresees that the USA and Russia will be the Superpowers of the twentieth century, and is
150 years ahead of his time in his views on the position and importance of women.
AUTHOR:
Alexis-Charles-Henri Clerel de Tocqueville (July 29, 1805 – April 16, 1859) was a French political
thinker and historian best known for his 'Democracy in America' (appearing in two volumes:

An Introduction to Psychoanalysis
Author: FREUD SIGMUND
ISBN: 9781840226867
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 416
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*ccgigh+
Sigmund Freud's controversial ideas have penetrated Western culture more deeply than those of
any other psychologist. The 'Freudian slip’, the 'Oedipus complex’, 'childhood sexuality’, 'libido’,
'narcissism’ 'penis envy’, the 'castration complex’, the 'id’, the 'ego’ and the 'superego’, 'denial’,
'repression’, 'identification’, 'projection’, 'acting out’, the 'pleasure principle’, the 'reality
principle’, 'defence-mechanism’ – are all taken for granted in our everyday vocabulary.
Psychoanalysis was never just a method of treatment, rather a vision of the human condition
which has continued to fascinate and provoke long after the death of its originator.
Its central hypothesis, that we live in conflict with ourselves and seek to resolve matters by
turning away from reality, did not emerge from experimental science but from self-examination
and the unique opportunities for observation presented by the psychoanalytic technique – in
particular, from the confessions produced by 'free-association’ in Freud’s consulting room. Written
during the turmoil of the First World War, A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis was distilled
from a series of lectures given at Vienna University, but had to wait for the war to end before
being made available to the English speaking world.
AUTHOR:
Sigismund Freud (1856 - 1939), better known as Sigmund Freud, was an Austrian psychiatrist
who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychology. If some of his ideas, always controversial,
have now fallen out of favour, it does not diminish the impact that his thinking has had on
psychology, therapy and, indeed, culture in general. His favourite book, 'The Interpretation of
Dreams', remains the most significant work on the subject matter, even if some of the
underlying theories have been discredited.

Translated with Notes by George Rawlinson. With an Introduction by Tom Griffith.
Herodotus (c480-c425) is 'The Father of History' and his 'Histories' are the first piece of Western
historical writing. They are also the most entertaining.
Why did Pheidippides run the 26 miles and 385 yards (or 42.195 kilometres) from Marathon to
Athens? And what did he do when he got there? Was the Battle of Salamis fought between
sausage-sellers? Which is the oldest language in the world? Why did Leonidas and his 300
Spartans spend the morning before the battle of Thermopylae combing their hair? Why did
every Babylonian woman have to sit in the Temple of Aphrodite until a man threw a coin into her
lap, and how long was she likely to sit there? And what is the best way to kill a crocodile?
This wide-ranging history provides the answers to all these fascinating questions as well as
providing many fascinating insights into the Ancient World.
AUTHOR:
Herodotus (c.484 BC-c.420 BC) is often called the "Father of History" and is the earliest, and one
of the greatest of the ancient Greek prose writers. In most instances, his account is the only
substantial one that survives of many key historical events.

How I Found Livingstone

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 640
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*ccgeif+
Henry Morton Stanley's greeting to the Scottish medical missionary David Livingstone – Dr
Livingstone, I presume? – is to exploration what Holmes's Elementary, my dear Watson is to
detective fiction. It took place in a remote African settlement when a travelling correspondent for
the New York Herald successfully concluded an assignment to find the renowned explorer. But
the meeting, and the events surrounding it, proved to be more than just a simple news story.
Stanley’s accounts of his expedition not only helped transform Livingstone into one of the great
Victorian heroes, but were also the springboard from which Stanley himself became the most
accomplished of all African explorers.
How I Found Livingstone was written in six weeks, published in November 1872, and had sold
through three printings by Christmas. For Stanley was not only a great explorer, he was also one
of the most talented writers ever to tell the tale of travel and discovery in Africa. His account of
his journey through East Africa, and his time spent investigating Lake Tanganyika with
Livingstone, is one of the classics of African exploration.
AUTHOR:
Achieving immortality in four words - "Doctor Livingstone, I presume?" - Henry Morton Stanley
(1841 - 1904) had a colourful life, which took him from a Welsh workhouse to fighting for both
the Confederate and Union armies in the American Civil War, then to the Middle East, and finally
mounting an expedition in search of Livingstone in the heart of Africa. Having found him, Stanley
continued to explore Africa, and ultimately becoming involved in the founding of the Congo Free
Sate. Stanley was not only a great explorer, but also a talented writer: 'How I Found Livingstone'
is one of the classics of African exploration.

Sigmund Freud's audacious masterpiece, 'The Interpretation of Dreams', has never ceased to
stimulate controversy since its publication in 1900. Freud is acknowledged as the founder of
psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, a task which has become essential to
man's survival in the twentieth century, as science and technology have rushed ahead of our
ability to cope with their consequences. Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often
unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the theory that dreams are the contraband
representations of the beast within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian
interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the secrets of the unconscious
mind.

London Labour and the London Poor
Author: MAYHEW
ISBN: 9781840226195
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 688
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*ccgbjf+
With an Introduction by Rosemary O'Day.
'London Labour and the London Poor' is a masterpiece of personal inquiry and social observation.
It is the classic account of life below the margins in the greatest Metropolis in the world and a
compelling portrait of the habits, tastes, amusements, appearance, speech, humour, earnings
and opinions of the labouring poor at the time of the Great Exhibition.
In scope, depth and detail it remains unrivalled. Mayhew takes us into the abyss, into a world
without fixed employment where skills are declining and insecurity mounting, a world of
criminality, pauperism and vice, of unorthodox personal relations and fluid families, a world from
which regularity is absent and prosperity has departed. Making sense of this environment
required curiosity, imagination and a novelist's eye for detail, and Henry Mayhew possessed all
three.
No previous writer had succeeded in presenting the poor through their own stories and in their
own words, and in this undertaking Mayhew rivals his contemporary Dickens. 'To pass from one
to the other', writes one authority,' is to cross sides of the same street'.
AUTHOR:
Henry Mayhew (1812 - 1857) was a playright and journalist, and co-founder of 'Punch'
magazine. He was a social reformer, and wrote a series of articles for 'The Morning Chronicle' on
the plight of the poor on London's streets. These were later collected into a book, 'London's
Labour and London's Poor', a detailed and extensive account of life as it truly was on the streets
of Dickens' London.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) spent the last fourteen years of his life writing A la recherche du
temps perdu. It is an intimate epic, an excavation of the self and a comedy of manners by turns
and all at once. Proust is the twentieth century Dante, presenting us with a unique, unsettling
picture of ourselves as jealous lovers and unmitigated snobs, frittering our lives away, with only
the hope of ar and a possible salvation. He offers us a form of redemption for a sober and
secular age.
Scott Moncrieff’s delightful translation was for many years the only access to Proust in English. A
labour of love that took him nearly as many years as Proust spent writing the original,
Moncrieff’s translation strives to capture the extraordinary blend of muscular analysis with poetic
reverie that typifies Proust’s style. It remains a justly famous classic of translation.
Originally published in seven parts, Wordsworth Editions are unique in offering the complete work

RRP: $16.95
9HSLIPD*cghifh+
'Njal's Saga' is the finest of the Icelandic sagas, and one of the world's greatest prose works.
Written c.1280, about events a couple of centuries earlier, it is divided into three parts: the first
recounts the touching friendship between noble Gunnar and the statesman Njal, together with
the fatal enmity between their wives. The second part works out the central tragedy of the saga,
while the third describes the retribution wrought by Flosi and Kari.
The saga is remarkable not only for the details of everyday life - the farming, the feasting and
the charcoal-burning - but also for the social structure of the society in which that life took place
- the Althing or Parliament, the lawmaking and the lawgiving. The grandeur of the narrative and
the beauty and distinction of the characters mark 'Njal's Saga' as an essential text for all who
love adventure and great literature.

Binding: Paperback

RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*ccfjhg+
No nineteenth-century American writer can claim to be as modern as Henry David Thoreau. His
central preoccupations – the illusory nature of much of what we call 'progress', the proper
symbiotic relationship between man and the natural environment, the limitations of government,
especially where it seeks to intrude on the personal, the moral and political case for
non-violence, the dubious pleasures of material comforts, our intoxication with excess, our
unrelenting search for the 'rules' by which we might live our lives – these, and many other
matters are as real to us now as they were to Thoreau in 1845 when he began his experiment in
self-sufficiency. Walden is his autobiographical record of his life of relative isolation at Walden
Pond, some twenty miles west of the city of Boston, but it is also a work of detailed natural
history and the expression of a philosophy of life by a deeply poetic sensibility. His essay
(originally a lecture), 'Civil Disobedience', has over the 150 or so years since its publication
exerted an enormous influence, animating thinkers such as Leo Tolstoy and Mohandas Gandhi as
well as political movements such as the British Labour Party, the Civil Rights Movement in the
United States, and various forms of oppositional activism across the globe.
Walden and 'Civil Disobedience' are reprinted here in a new edition alongside three of Thoreau's
seminal essays, 'Slavery in Massachusetts', 'A Plea for Captain John Brown', and 'Life Without
Principle'. Henry Claridge's introduction illuminates the extent to which Thoreau's writings and his
thinking were a response to the dramatic changes wrought by the physical expansion of the
United States and the migration of European peoples across the American sub-continent in the
first half of the nineteenth-century. The edition also comes with a bibliography and extensive
explanatory notes.

Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist,

eighteen months the squadron saw continual action, finally helping to win the war in the air over
Malta in 1943.
Here, life in Malta's longest serving fighter squadron is narrated as an often humorous and
sometimes poignant tale – all the more so with the knowledge that some contributors never
survived the war.

This book answers one of biggest unanswered questions asked by visitors to the Somme; where
did my ancestor fight? The combination of First World War battle accounts and annotated trench
maps throughout this book, explains exactly what happened and where, and indexed orders of
battle give the reader a quick reference to locate individual units. But the book goes further than
this as carefully chosen viewpoints, which are practical for anyone exploring in a car, have been
suggested. They give the visitor different perspectives of the ground where their ancestors
fought and died; and in many cases are buried in an unmarked grave. There is useful
information on the structure of the British Army and the weapons, equipment and uniforms the
men used. Information on the different methods of attacks used, the development of tactics and
life in the trenches is also included. As well as this, there is a guide to the key cemeteries,
memorials and museums the visitor should consider seeing to complete a visit. This book will
help the casual visitor walk in their ancestor's footsteps across the Somme battlefield.
It will also guide the regular visitor across different areas of the battlefield, away from the
popular points, and help all visitors accomplish the rewarding experience of connecting the
battles of the past with the terrain of today.

A good argument could be made that the Battle of Actium was the most significant military
engagement in Roman history. On a bright September day, the naval forces of Octavian clashed
with those of Antony and Cleopatra off the coast of western Greece. The victory Octavian
enjoyed that day set the state for forty-four years of what would come to be known as the
Augustan Peace, and was in no small way the dawn of the Roman Empire.
Yet, despite its significance, what exactly happened at Actium has been a mystery, despite
significant labours and effort on the part of many classicists and military historians both amateur
and professional. Professor Lee Fratantuono re-examines the ancient evidence and presents a
compelling and solidly documented account of what took place in the waters off the promontory
of Leucas in late August and early September of 31 B.C.
AUTHOR:
Dr Lee Fratantuono (Ph.D., Fordham) is Professor of Classics at Ohio Wesleyan University. He is
the author of several books and articles in Roman studies, most recently his co-authored Virgil,

the Julio-Claudian period, and the third century AD, and has travelled extensively in the lands
once under Roman domination. He has a particular interest in the study and use of literary
(especially poetic) texts as potential sources of evidence for military engagement
SELLING POINTS:
• Possibly the most important battle in Roman history, Actium drew the final curtain on the
Roman Republic and ushered in the Roman Empire
• Battle set in its full context of the political background and the campaign leading up to it
• Compelling narrative account that seeks to reveal exactly what happened on that fateful day
• Thoroughly researched, drawing on neglected ancient sources as well as the latest modern
scholarship
• Features household names, Octavian/Augustus, Marc Antony and Cleopatra.

Since the days of the Battle of Trafalgar, the Royal Navy had been the acknowledged as the
most powerful maritime force on the planet. Britain could boast more warships, and particularly
more Dreadnoughts and battle-cruisers than any other nation. But the Germans had undertaken
an enormously-expensive ship-building programme designed to place the Kaiserliche Marine on
an equal footing with the Royal Navy. Since the outbreak of war between the two nations in
1914, the British public had waited in eager anticipation for the moment when the opposing
battlefleets would meet at sea.
After a number of smaller engagements, major elements of the British Grand Fleet and the
German High Seas Fleet, finally faced each other across the grey seas of the North Sea off
Jutland. Instead of the great victory that the British expected, the result was disappointingly
inconclusive, with the Grand Fleet losing more men and more ships than the Germans.
In this incitful and unique investigation into the battle, naval historian Richard Osborne draws on
the words of the key players to resolve the many disputes, controversies and myths that have
surrounded this battle throughout the intervening 100 years.

After the reverses of 1914, the French and British commanders were determined to turn the
tables on the Germans and take the war to the enemy. A major combined offensive was planned
in the Artois region of France but the French had to cancel their part in the operation. This did
not deter the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Sir John French, and on 10 March
1915, the British attacked the German positions centered on the village of Neuve Chapelle.
In what was the first British planned offensive of the First World War, the attackers overran the
German lines and almost achieved an unparalleled breakthrough. Only a lack of artillery shells
and a breakdown in communications prevented the British First Army under General Haig from
taking full advantage of the unprecedented success.
The battle demonstrated how trench systems could be penetrated and set the pattern of warfare
on the Western Front for the next three years, with the Allies seeking to achieve that elusive
breakthrough which slipped through their fingers at Neuve Chapelle. The shortage of shells was
seen as a ‘scandal’ which brought down the Liberal Government.

'Blockade' is the story of a long-running battle at sea, a battle for trade which both Britain and
Germany had to win in order to survive; in particular, it tells the story of the Northern Barrage
and the 10th Cruiser Squadron.
The Royal Navy's role during WWI in denying Germany access to the sea, trade and vital
resources was crucial in helping win the war on the Western Front; the 'Northern Blockade',
located across the inhospitable waters between Iceland and Scotland, was to bring the German
economy to its knees and destroy her home front morale. Likewise, the Royal Navy's success in
negating Germany's attacks on British commerce prevented much suffering in Britain, and the
author vividly describes the final destruction of German surface vessel commerce warfare,
culminating in the hard-fought battle between the raider SMS Leopard and two British warships.
The American reaction to the British naval blockade and to Germany's war on trade and her
treatment of American sailors taken prisoner is looked at, while the changes in strategy on both
sides through the war and the use of converted liners and armed merchant vessels as warships
(AMCs) are examined in detail.
With the help of first-hand accounts, the book brings to life the experiences of those who
manned the blockade, and creates a vivid picture of the dangers of duty; it lays before the
reader a highly significant but, until now, much neglected aspect of the First World War.
AUTHOR:
Steve Dunn has a special interest in the Royal Navy of the late Victorian, Edwardian and First

An in-depth account of the "secret war” between Confederate and Union diplomats on the one
side, and the statesmen of Great Britain and Europe on the other, in order to decide the future
fate of America . . .
In the first years of the Civil War, Southern arms won spectacular victories on the battlefield;
however, cooler heads in the Confederacy recognized the demographic and industrial weight
pitted against them, and counted on British intervention to even those scales in order to deny
the United States victory. Bluff, Bluster Lies and Spies is a wild ride through the mismanaged
State Department of William Henry Seward in Washington, DC, to the more skillful work of Lords
Palmerston, Russell and Lyons in the British Foreign Office. Fearful that Great Britain would
recognise the Confederacy and provide the help that might have defeated the Union, the Lincoln
administration was careful not to upset the greatest naval power on earth. At the same time,
however, Great Britain needed to retain influence on American foreign policy, because her very
safety as an empire depended upon it. In face of the growth of the Union navy-particularly its
new ironclad ships-she turned out to be a paper tiger who relied on bluff and bluster to preserve
the illusion of international strength. Britain had its own continental rivals with whom to vie, and
the question of whether a truncated United States or a reunited stronger one was most
advantageous was a vital question. Ultimately Prime Minister Palmerston decided that Great
Britain would be no match for a Union armada that could have seized British possessions
throughout the Western Hemisphere, including Canada, and he frustrated any ambitions to break
Lincoln's blockade of the Confederacy with Britannia. In addition to the naval arms race between
Britain and France, Europe was covered with the spies, arms dealers, detectives and publicists
who struggled to buy guns and to influence European opinion about the validity of either the
Union or Confederate cause. This book describes in full how the Civil War in the New World was
ultimately left to Southern battlefield prowess alone to determine, as the powers of the Old
World declined to overtly intervene in the American question.
• Discusses directly how the South yearned for European support, just as their Virginia

A Military History of the Battle that Lost Philadelphia but Saved America, September 11, 1777
Brandywine Creek meanders through the Pennsylvania countryside, but on September 11, 1777,
it served as the scenic backdrop for the largest battle of the American Revolution, one that
encompassed more troops over more land than any combat fought on American soil until the
Civil War. Overshadowed by the stunning American victory at Saratoga, the British campaign
that defeated George Washington's colonial army and led to the capture of the capital city of
Philadelphia was one of the most important military events of the war. Michael C. Harris's
impressive 'Brandywine: A Military History of the Battle that Lost Philadelphia but Saved
America, September 11, 1777', is the first full-length study of this pivotal engagement based
upon primary source materials and a complete understanding of the battlefield's topography.
General Sir William Howe launched his campaign in late July 1777, when he loaded his army of
16,500 British and Hessian soldiers aboard a 265-ship armada in New York and set sail. Six
difficult weeks later Howe's expedition landed near Elkton, Maryland, and moved north into
Pennsylvania. Washington's rebel army harassed Howe's men at several locations, including a
sharp skirmish at Cooch's Bridge in Delaware on September 3. Another week of hit-and-run
tactics followed until Howe was within three miles of Chads's Ford on Brandywine Creek, behind
which Washington had posted his army in strategic blocking positions along a six-mile front. The
young colonial capital of Philadelphia was just 25 miles to the east. General Howe initiated his
plan of attack at 5:00 a.m. on September 11. Obscured by darkness and a heavy morning fog,
he pushed against the American center at Chads's Ford with part of his army while the bulk of his
command marched north around Washington's exposed right flank to deliver his coup de main,
destroy the colonials, and march on Philadelphia. Warned of Howe's flanking attack at the last
moment, American generals turned their divisions to face the threat. The bitter fighting on
Birmingham Hill drove the Americans from the field, but their heroic defensive stand saved
Washington's army and proved that the nascent Continental foot soldiers could stand toe-to-toe
with their foe. Although more fighting followed, Philadelphia was doomed and fell on September
26. Harris's Brandywine is the first complete study to merge the strategic, political, and tactical
history of this complex operation and important set-piece battle into a single compelling account.
Nearly a decade in the making, his sweeping prose relies almost exclusively upon original
archival research and his personal knowledge of the terrain. Enhanced with original maps,
illustrations, and modern photos, and told largely through the words of those who fought there,
Brandywine will take its place as one of the most important military studies of the American
Revolution ever written.

The Chickamauga Campaign:
A Mad Irregular Battle

David Powell's magnum opus, a tour-de-force rich in analysis brimming with heretofore untold
stories. It will surely be a classic must-have battle study for every serious student of the Civil
War.
Chickamauga, according to soldier rumor, is a Cherokee word meaning "River of Death." It
certainly lived up to that grim sobriquet in September 1863 when the Union Army of the
Cumberland and Confederate Army of Tennessee waged bloody combat along the banks of West
Chickamauga Creek. Long considered a two-day affair, award-winning author David Powell
embraces a fresh approach that explores Chickamauga as a three-day battle, with September 18
being key to understanding how the fighting developed the next morning. The second largest
battle of the Civil War produced 35,000 casualties and one of the last, clear-cut Confederate
tactical victories-a triumph that for a short time reversed a series of Rebel defeats and
reinvigorated the hope for Southern independence. At issue was Chattanooga, the important
"gateway to the South" and logistical springboard into Georgia. Despite its size, importance, and
fascinating cast of characters, this epic Western Theater battle has received but scant attention.
Powell masterfully rectifies this oversight.
• The first of three installments spanning the entire campaign, A Mad Irregular Battle includes
the Tullahoma Campaign in June, which set the stage for Chickamauga, and continues through
the second day of fighting on September 19.
• The second installment finishes the battle from dawn on September 20 and carries the
narrative through the retreat from the battlefield that night.
• The third and last book of the series covers the retreat into Chattanooga and the beginning of
the siege, as well as appendices and essays exploring specific questions about the battle in
substantially greater detail.
Powell's magnificent study fully explores the battle from all perspectives and is based upon
fifteen years of intensive study and research that has uncovered nearly 2,000 primary sources,
all stitched together to relate the remarkable story that was Chickamauga. Here, finally, readers
will absorb the thoughts and deeds of hundreds of the battle's veterans, many of whom they
have never heard of or read about. In addition to archival sources, newspapers, and other
firsthand accounts, Powell grounds his conclusions in years of personal study of the terrain itself
and regularly leads tours of the battlefield. His prose is as clear and elegant as it is authoritative
and definitive. This book is Powell's magnum opus, a tour-de-force rich in analysis brimming with
heretofore untold stories. It will surely be a classic must-have battle study for every serious
student of the Civil War.

Throughout the First World War, London played a major part in Great Britain's war effort, both at
home and abroad. A far as Germany was concerned, the city was their ultimate goal - the
ultimate target that would bring them the sought-after victory they so desired.
With the British Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, the heart of British Government at the
Houses of Parliament and one of Europe's major financial centres, situated at the Bank of
England, London was a major prize that would either be protected or lost to the enemy. With a
real belief amongst the British public that there would be an invasion at some time during the
war, the security of the countries capital was paramount not only for survival of the nation, but
also to ensure that public morale remained high.
The capital was a central hub for recruitment with centres popping up all over the city, at places
such as Scotland Yard and the Tower of London.There was a regiment for everybody, catering
for all elements of society from the labourer, to the landed gentry, for the more affluent, as well
as those less well off, and from the professional sportsman, to the city banker; everybody
wanted to do their bit for King and Country.
The book looks at many different aspects of wartime London: the Members of Parliament who
left their comfortable lifestyles, who fought and died for their country, the Silvertown munitions
factory explosion, the twelve German spies who were shot at the Tower of London, and the
hundreds of military hospitals that were spread across London. Part of St Thomas's Hospital, for
example, treated the wounds of 11,396 military personnel between 1915-19.
'City of London in the Great War' records yet another chapter in the history of the nation's
capital, during the four-year period of time, which will live in the memory of the city forever
more.

Decision at Tom's Brook:
George Custer, Tom Rosser,

Based upon extensive research in primary documents and gracefully written, award winning
author William J. Miller's Decision at Tom's Brook presents significant new material on Thomas
Rosser.
"The Battle of Tom's Brook", recalled one Confederate soldier, was "the greatest disaster that
ever befell our cavalry during the whole war." The fight took place during the last autumn of the
Civil War, when the Union General Phil Sheridan vowed to turn the crop rich Shenandoah Valley
into "a desert." Farms and homes were burned, livestock slaughtered, and Southern families
suffered.
The story of the Tom's Brook cavalry affair centers on two young men who had risen to
prominence as soldiers: George A. Custer and Thomas L. Rosser. They had been fast friends
since their teenage days at West Point, but the war sent them down separate paths - Custer to
the Union army and Rosser to the Confederacy. Each was a born warrior who took obvious joy in
the exhilaration of battle. Each possessed almost all of the traits of the ideal cavalryman courage, intelligence, physical strength, inner fire. Only their judgment was questionable. Their
separate paths converged in the Shenandoah Valley in the summer of 1864, when Custer was
ordered to destroy, and Rosser was ordered to stop him. For three days, Rosser's gray troopers
pursued and attacked the Federals. On the fourth day, October 9, the tables turned in the open
fields above Tom's Brook, where each ambitious friend sought his own advancement at the
expense of the other. One capitalised upon every advantage fate threw before him, while the
other, sure of his abilities in battle and eager to fight, attempted to impose his will on
unfavourable circumstances and tempted fate by inviting catastrophe. This long overlooked
cavalry action had a lasting effect on mounted operations and influenced the balance of the
campaign in the Valley. Based upon extensive research in primary documents and gracefully
written, award winning author William J. Miller's Decision at Tom's Brook presents significant new
material on Thomas Rosser, and argues that his character was his destiny. Rosser's
decisionmaking that day changed his life and the lives of hundreds of other men. Miller's new
study is Civil War history and high personal drama at its finest.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army Its History, Traditions, and Air Sea and Land Capability in
the 21st Century
When Mao Zedong proclaimed The People's Republic of China in 1949, China was a poor and
wrecked society after years of continuous wars. For centuries, in fact, China had been seen as a
sort of plunder-zone to be invaded, and then a backwater until the late 1980s, when domestic
policy brought about monumental changes. The result was that in the past quarter-century China
has grown to be the second largest economy in the world, and its military has grown
proportionately. Successive decades of economic growth have transformed China—in addition to
the weapons revolution during the computer age—so that by now the People's Liberation Army
(PLA) has become a modern fighting force. No longer having to rely on massed infantry attacks,
it now features a formidable arsenal including nuclear submarines, ICBMs, stealth fighters, and
modern battle tanks. Perhaps ominously for other maritime powers, the Chinese have also
focused on beyond-the-horizon missile technology, as well as anti-aircraft systems, and have
also explored the possibilities of cyber-warfare. What is today's PLA really like? What are its
traditions and histories, and how is it armed and equipped? How does it recruit and train?
This book describes some of the lesser known battles and wars the Chinese have undertaken,
and the development of their key weapons systems. The United States, having opened the door
to "drone warfare", have had an attentive audience for such technologies in Beijing. The last
chapter provides thoughts on how the Chinese view matters of security. It is not yet known
whether foreign powers can still enforce their territorial wills on China, but future attempts will
meet an increased challenge. This book will be of interest not only to general readers but to
policy-makers and militaries in the West, who may not yet realise that a new China has replaced
the old.
SELLING POINTS:
• Uniquely, the author provides perspective on both the Chinese side of military development as
well as the Western context it now challenges
• One cannot understand the motivations of the PLA without knowing its history, most often of
defeats in the face of the West, and how it is determined that those days are past
• Analyses the geopolitical problems for which the current PLA has been constructed, and why
the Chinese don't expect failure in the future

The Eastern Front Air War 1941 - 1945

This selection of over 150 photographs provides a visual guide to the desperate air war fought
over the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1945. Most of these black-and-white wartime
photographs have never been published before. They show Stalin's Red Air Force and Hitler's
Luftwaffe, their equipment and the role they played in supporting the war on the ground.
Although it was a major aspect of the struggle on the Eastern Front, aerial combat has long been
neglected, and Anthony Tucker-Jones's photographic history is a vivid introduction to it. Just
before Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union the leadership of the Red Air Force was decimated by
Stalin in a series of purges. Although it had thousands of fighter aircraft these were not capable
of taking on the Luftwaffe and were swiftly destroyed in the German blitzkrieg. But a remarkable
recovery followed as the Red Air Force slowly but surely turned the tide against the ravages of
the Luftwaffe to wrestle back air superiority by 1944. The photographs and Anthony
Tucker-Jones's text give a fascinating insight into this decisive reversal of fortune. They also
record, in a series of memorable images, the principal Soviet and German aircraft that featured
in the aerial fighting and the pilots who flew them.

After the first successful flight by the Wilbur brothers in 1903, the age of aviation was born, and
by 1910 army commanders in the United States and Europe began ordering aircraft and
experimenting with them. But at the outbreak of World War I in 1914, no-one could yet possibly
know how significant a role they would play in the fighting.
Aerial reconnaissance, observation and photography impacted the fighting in many ways, but
little has been written about it. Balloons and airplanes regulated artillery fire, infantry liaison
aircraft followed attacking troops and the retreats of defenders, aerial photographers aided
operational planners and provided the data for perpetually updated maps, and naval airplanes,
airships, and balloons acted as aerial sentinels in a complex anti-submarine warfare organization.
Reconnaissance crews at the Battles of the Marne and Tannenberg averted disaster.
The story told here involves the early American Lafayette Escadrille pilots who were looking for
heroic deeds and romantic adventure in aerial combat, as well as the German, British and French
aces of popular imagination. But the real value of military aviation lay elsewhere; balloonists,
unsung heroes, were an essential part of the observation chain, and forever altered the nature
of artillery operations. Observation spotters from planes further enhanced the benefit of being
able to extend the target range well out of the line of sight and direct artillery fire, though
communicating information was far from easy and systems from weighted message bags
through light flashes, smoke signals and wireless messages were tried and honed.
'Eyes All Over the Sky' fully explores all the aspects of aerial reconnaissance, and its previously
under-appreciated significance. Also included are the individual experiences of British, American
and German airmen; true pioneers of aviation warfare.
SELLING POINTS:
• First full history of aerial reconnaissance in WWI
• Debunks previous assumptions about aviation in WWI
• Much fascinating detail about the use of balloons, pre-wireless communication techniques and
anti-submarine operations

***AUTHOR LIVES IN MELBOURNE***
The outcome of the Second World War was decided on the Eastern Front. Denied a swift victory
over Stalin's Red Army, Hitler's Wehrmacht found itself in a bloody, protracted struggle from late
1941 that it was ill-prepared to fight.
Although many pictorial books have been published on Germany's hapless invasion of the Soviet
Union, they are typically a collection of soldiers' snapshots or 'official' photographs taken by
Propagandakompanien (PK) reporters. This book is different. It contains an extraordinary
personal record of the war captured by a professional photographer, Walter Grimm, who served
in the German Army in a communications unit.
David Mitchelhill-Green brings Grimm's previously unpublished photographs together with a
carefully researched introduction. The 300 evocative black and white images provide an
absorbing insight into the daily life and privations of the ordinary German soldier amid the
maelstrom of history's largest conflict. The Ukrainian people, many of whom initially welcomed
the Germans as liberators, freeing them from the yoke of Bolshevik oppression, are also
chronicled in this fascinating study of the fighting in Ukraine.
AUTHOR:
Over the last twenty-five years, David Mitchelhill-Green has roamed the world in search of lost
stories from the Second World War. His photographic investigations have featured in the British
military magazine After the Battle. With a Master’s degree in Military History, David’s extensive
knowledge of the war has also appeared in numerous newspaper features and encyclopedia
entries. Years spent in Japan culminated in the co-authoring of the book Castles of the Samurai,
with Jennifer Mitchelhill in 2003. David lives in Melbourne, Australia.
SELLING POINTS:
• A fresh pictorial history of Ukraine during the Second World War.
• Featuring 300 striking, previously unpublished photographs taken by a professional

• An absorbing insight into the daily life and privations of the ordinary German soldier amid the
maelstrom of history’s largest conflict.

In June 1944 Allied troops were massing along the shores of southern England in readiness for
the invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europe. Facing them, from the Pas de Calais to Brittany, were
German troops, dug in, waiting and preparing for the inevitable confrontation. This compilation of
in-depth accounts by German commanders presents D-Day, and the events leading up to it, from
the point of view of the officers entrusted with preventing the Allied landings. The accounts David
Isby has selected, all written soon after the war's close for American military intelligence, cover
preparations for the invasion and chart the development of German strategy as invasion looms.
They then turn to the ordeal of D-Day itself including reactions to the first reports of troop
landings and a blow-by-blow account of the fighting. Fighting the Invasion paints a superb picture
of D-Day from the German perspective, bringing home the entire experience from the initial
waiting to the bitter fighting on the beaches and running battles in Norman villages.

For twenty years, the Roman Empire conquered its way through modern-day Germany, claiming
all lands from the Rhine to the Elbe. However, when at last all appeared to be under control, a
catastrophe erupted that claimed the lives of 10,000 legionnaires and laid Rome's imperial
ambitions for Germania into the dust. In late September of 9 AD, three Roman legions, while
marching to suppress a distant tribal rebellion, were attacked in a four-day battle with the
Germanic barbarians. The Romans, under the leadership of the province's governor, Publius
Quinctilius Varus, were taken completely by surprise, betrayed by a member of their own ranks:
the German officer and secret rebel leader, Arminius. The defeat was a heavy blow to both
Rome's military and its pride. Though the disaster was ruthlessly avenged soon afterwards, later
attempts at conquering the Germans were half-hearted at best. 'Four Days in September'
thoroughly examines the ancient sources and challenges the hypotheses of modern scholars to
present a clear picture of the prelude to the battle, the fighting itself and its aftermath.
AUTHOR:

• A significant defeat for Rome with far-reaching strategic consequences, a major setback to

• Arminius was a former Roman auxiliary; his betrayal adds to the human interest
• Draws on up to date research and archaeological investigation on the location and course of
the fighting.

Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's invasion of Russia, opened with an unprecedented level of
ferocity, and the Luftwaffe's bombers were at the forefront of the action. German bombers
launched raid after raid against numerous targets and played an essential role in the speedy
conquest of vast tracts of land.
German bombers were called upon to fly in conditions that varied from the heat of the Crimea to
the frozen wastes of the Arctic. As the tide turned, the Luftwaffe took heavy punishment and, by
the end of the war, Hitler's bombers were flying increasingly desperate missions intended to
stem the advance of the Red Army.
Manfred Griehl has drawn on his own unique archive to present rare photographs of the German
bombers and their crews in action and on the ground. German Bombers over Russia is another

Flying as an elite element of the Luftwaffe's bomber forces, KG 100 (Wiking) saw action
throughout Europe and flew mission after mission against targets as diverse as the Suez Canal
and Moscow. Equipped with x-ray navigational systems, KG 100 flew as pathfinders, leading
bomber streams against targets on mainland Britain. In 1940 the unit took part in the Norwegian
campaign and, a year later, was involved in the bombing of Moscow. Operations continued in the
west with anti-shipping operations and in the east with operations in the Crimea and in support of
besieged Germans in Stalingrad. Whether bombing or pathfinding, KG 100 excelled at dangerous
missions in all kinds of conditions and its reputation was such that it was the first unit to fly
air-to-surface guided missile attacks against Allied shipping.

111 formed almost half of the Gruppen employed by Luftflotte 2 and Luftflotte 3. When the
Luftwaffe switched to attacking cities and industrial sites the Heinkel 111 was widely employed,
with raids against targets such as London, Coventry, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool.
In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, the operations of this famous
aircraft in the early years of the war - particularly the invasion of Poland, the Blitzkrieg in the
West, the Battle of Britain and the very early stages of the Blitz - are portrayed and brought to
life.

'Hell Itself' invites readers of the Emerging Civil War Series to join the author in the
Wilderness—one of the most storied battlefields of the entire Civil War.
Soldiers called it one of the "waste places of nature" and "a region of gloom"-the Wilderness of
Virginia, seventy square miles of dense, second-growth forest known as "the dark, close wood."
"A more unpromising theatre of war was never seen," said another. Yet here, in the spring of
1864, the Civil War escalated to a new level of horror. Ulysses S. Grant, commanding all Federal
armies, opened the campaign with a vow to never turn back. Robert E. Lee, commanding the
Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, moved into the Wilderness to block Grant's advance.
Immovable object intercepted irresistible force-and the Wilderness burst into flame. With the
forest itself burning around them, men died by the thousands. The armies bloodied each other
without mercy and, at times, without any semblance of order. The brush grew so dense, and the
smoke hung so thick, men could not see who stood next to them-or in front of them. "This,
viewed as a battleground, was simply infernal," a Union soldier later said. It was, said another,
"hell itself." Driven by desperation, duty, confusion, and fire, soldiers on both sides marvelled
that anyone might make it out alive.
For more than a decade, Chris Mackowski has guided visitors across the battlefields of the
Overland Campaign. Now in 'Hell Itself' he invites readers of the Emerging Civil War Series to
join him in the Wilderness-one of the most storied battlefields of the entire Civil War.

Captain William Siborne became an ensign in the 9th Foot in 1813 and was sent to France in
1815 as part of a battalion despatched to reinforce Wellington’s army. A notable topographer,
after the events that year he was commissioned to create a scale model of the Battle of
Waterloo, for which he carried out extensive research, writing to officers in the allied forces
present to obtain information.
The subsequent correspondence amounted to the largest single collection of primary source
material on the subject ever assembled. After he had completed his model, which is today on
public display in the National Army Museum in London, he used the mass of information he had
gathered to produce his History of the Waterloo Campaign, which was at the time the most
detailed account of the operations of 1815 and is still considered a classic work on the subject.
Siborne's history of Waterloo, the latest addition to Frontline's growing Napoleonic Library, is
essential and gripping reading for all those who are interested in how this famous battle was
fought and won.
AUTHOR:
The son of Captain Benjamin of the 9th (East Norfolk) Regiment of Foot, Siborne joined the
regiment on 9 September 1813. In August 1815 he joined Wellington’s army in France. In 1819
he published his first book. This led to him being commissioned to produce his model of the
Battle which is still in the National Army Museum. He died on 9 January 1849.
SELLING POINTS:
• A detailed and highly-regarded classic account of the events of the Waterloo campaign.
• Accounts from every branch of the British Army.
• It was the letters sent in to the author whilst researching his model that formed the basis of
this book.

Hitler's Atlantic Wall:
Yesterday and Today

A breathtaking look at the once-enormous effort that Nazi Germany, with all its industrial power,
made to protect its newfound Atlantic coastline, with many of its wartime installations still there
to be seen . . .
Masters of the continent, the Nazis realised that they would have to defend their gains, and once
the United States entered the war, redoubled their efforts. Using forced and slave labour they
built a chain of defensive positions, coastal batteries, and beach defences from the top of
Norway to the Franco-Spanish border.
However, as was so typical of the Nazis, while the bunkers and batteries seem impressively
constructed, and the Atlantic Wall has left a permanent reminder of the years of Nazi
domination, it was crippled by lack of strategic planning, internal bickering, and a multitude of
command structures that did not communicate with each other effectively. In June 1944 the
Allies burst through the wall, and while it took many lives to break the crust of the German
defences, the vaunted Atlantic Wall proved ineffective save for the fortresses the Allies bypassed
and subdued later.
Using the same formula as in their books on 'The Normandy Battlefields' and 'Race to the Rhine',
Leo Marriott and Simon Forty combine bespoke aerial photography with old photographs, maps,
and current illustrations to provide a pictorial analysis of the subject Around 500 illustrations
ensure the subject is well covered. After opening sections on the construction of the wall, the
defensive plan, and the different structures that were built, 'Hitler's Atlantic Wall: Yesterday and
Today' provides a survey of the key locations and what can be seen today including many of the
museums that interpret them. The bulk of the book is divided geographically by country, dealing
with France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway. After 70 years, the Atlantic Wall
is still a remarkable reminder of the war years, and one that continues to fascinate.
SELLING POINTS:
• One rarely recognizes the challenge the Western Allies faced in invading Europe until one sees
anew the preparations the Germans made for our invasions
• This book not only provides before-and-after photos, but new aerial photography to show just
how formidable Hitler's Atlantic Wall was—and remains to this day
• Expert text guides the reader through exact locations—not just for the military actions that
ensued but where sites can still be visited

From 1941 to 1945, a large number of foreign soldiers were incorporated into the ranks of the
German army in order to compensate for the enormous losses suffered by the Wehrmacht,
including thousands of French. Whether fighting against the Soviets on the Eastern Front, with
the Afrika-Korps in Tunisia or fighting with the occupying army in France, these volunteers
generally took the plunge to join the Germans with the authorization of their own government,
even though there was never any 'formal link' to the Vichy regime.
For the first time in the English language, this book provides details of the units' various
insignias, along with rare and previously unpublished and personal photographs of the few
surviving members interviewed by the author. As a result, a new vision of these collaborators
emerges, allowing them to be regarded as adventurers or even nationalists. After all, despite
being clothed in the "enemy's" uniform, the majority of these soldiers respected their oath of
allegiance, often giving their lives in return.
AUTHOR:
Living in France, Christophe Leguerandais has spent many years accumulating hundreds of rare

Lafayette Escadrille:

The most complete account of America's first volunteer participants in the Great War yet written,
lavishly illustrated with both period photos and color then-and-now shots for a new generation of
readers . . .
The Lafayette Escadrille was an all-volunteer squadron of Americans who flew for France during
World War I. One hundred years later, it is still arguably the best-known fighter squadron ever
to take to the skies. In this work the entire history of these gallant volunteers—who named
themselves after the Marquis Lafayette, who came to America's aid during its Revolution—is laid
out in both text and pictorial form. In time for the centennial celebration, this work not only tells
the fascinating story of the Lafayette Escadrille, it shows it. Already a student of the squadron,
the author spent a full year sifting through university and museum archives in the United States
and France for photographs and documents relating to the famed unit. To complement these
images, he traveled extensively, taking snapshots of existing markers and memorials honoring
the men of the Lafayette Escadrille. In France, he specifically sought out locations where the
squadron operated and its pilots frequented. In several cases, he was able to match his
present-day color photos with contemporary images of the same scene, thus creating a
jaw-dropping then-and-now comparison. To add even more color, the author included artwork
and aircraft profiles by recognized illustrators, along with numerous full-color photographs of
artifacts relating to the squadron's men and airplanes, as they are displayed today in various
museums in the United States and France. The result is undoubtedly the finest photographic
collection of the Lafayette Escadrille to appear in print. Along with the expert text revealing
air-combat experiences as well as life at the front during the Great War, it is a
never-before-seen visual history that both World War I aviation aficionados and those with a
passing interest in history will appreciate.
SELLING POINTS:
• The story of America's first, most daring "few," who jumped into the Great War in Europe
even as their country itself hesitated
• Full accounts of aerial combat into the teeth of deadly Boche aces, as well as stories of life
among fellow Allies on the front
• Unprecedented photo research into the Lafayette Escadrille, including many modern scenes of
the places where the elite squadron once lived, visited or fought

The first book to reveal the remarkable stories of British Intelligence's efforts to harness the
occult and astrology in their fight against the Nazis
'Lucifer Rising' unravels for the first time the myths surrounding the most surreal yet, ultimately,
seriously - intended secret operations of the Second World War when Britain stood alone against
the Nazis.
Featuring an eccentric cast of characters, including the creator of James Bond, the selfproclaimed
'wickedest man in the world', a cross-dressing astrologer and the Deputy Fuhrer, bestselling
author Nicholas Booth weaves together an incredible narrative about spying, sabotage, weird
inventions, black propaganda and even the attempted harnessing of the occult as the British
secret service sought desperately to gain the upper hand over the Nazis by whatever means
possible.
Using hitherto secret files – many only released in 2014 – and reading like a fictional thriller,
'Lucifer Rising' shows how nothing was considered too outrageous in the desperate fight against
the Nazi regime, including the attempted manipulation of the occult and astrology with often
unintentionally hilarious results. After all, it was widely suggested that the Nazis had the devil on
their side…

Monitors of the Royal Navy:

Monitor warships mounted the biggest guns ever deployed by the Royal Navy, and played an
undeniably important part in Allied efforts during World War One and Two. They were built as
cheap "disposable" ships made out of redundant bits and pieces which the Admiralty happened to
have available which could bring heavy artillery to bear on enemy coasts with pin point accuracy
and on at least one occasion a force of only three monitors had a profound effect on the
strategic situation in WW I. Being classed as disposable they were often exposed to risks far
more recklessly than more expensive battle ships or heavy cruisers. So impressive was their
performance in WW I that two were retained in service into WW II and did such good work
during the North African campaign that two new ones were built and they fought in the
Mediterranean, in the Normandy landings and in the advance of the Allied armies into occupied
Europe. They astonished allies and enemies alike with the devastating effect of their accurate
fire reaching targets 10 miles or more inland.
The book deals with the origins of Monitors and how they evolved from the bomb ketches of the
18th century. It looks at how the various classes of monitor were designed and built and
explores their careers in both World Wars, including the particular impact they had on the
various campaigns in which they fought. It attempts to assess their effectiveness in comparison
with other classes of ship, and is sure to appeal to all enthusiasts of naval history, old and new.
AUTHOR:
Jim Crossley is a retired engineer and a keen sailor. He has a history degree from Cambridge
and has previously written a novel Something Wrong with Our Ships and a book on early British

SELLING POINTS:
• Provides a comprehensive overview of Monitor warships, charting their evolution from bomb
ketchers in the 18th Century, to the heavily armoured Allied weapons of the First World War and
beyond.
• Casts a light on an oft-overlooked vessel of warfare.

In 1970 the SAS was called in to support the Sultan of Oman's armed forces in their bitter
struggle against a Communist-backed insurrection. The task in hand was not to obliterate the
enemy, for these were the Sultan's subjects, but to persuade the rebels to join the Omani
government's side, as well as encouraging the independently-minded peoples of the Jebel Dhofar
to abandon their support for the insurgents. If necessary, these objectives were to be achieved
by demonstrating that the insurgents could never win the armed struggle. This is the gripping
story of the part played in the conflict by the men and squadrons of the 22nd Special Air Service
Regiment, the first full SAS squadron in the region. Written by the man who commanded that
unit and who successfully raised the first bands of Dhofari irregulars to fight for the Sultan, SAS:
Secret War provides a unique and personal insight into what was to become one of the most
successful counter-insurgency campaigns of the twentieth century.

A photo in the New York Times on June 10, 1942 depicted a young naval officer, John Duncan
Bulkeley, and his wife in the back of an open touring car as they were being treated to a New
York ticker tape parade. Hundreds of thousands of people were cheering him in a hero's
welcome not seen since Charles Lindbergh returned from his solo flight across the Atlantic. The
26-year-old Bulkeley was just back from the Philippines, where he had pulled off one of the most
spectacular rescues in U.S. naval history by taking General Douglas MacArthur out of the
besieged islands aboard a PT boat. MacArthur's escape from the Philippine death trap was
front-page news not only in the U.S. but all over the world. America’s most illustrious soldier had
been a hairbreadth away from being killed or captured by the Japanese. Both MacArthur and
Bulkeley were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and commentators nationwide joined
in the adulation.
But no mention was ever made of the nearly 80 officers and men of Bulkeley's squadron who
were left behind, a tragic sacrifice that no one at the time, or even later, would admit was totally
unnecessary. Saving MacArthur is the story of the fateful friendship of two otherwise very
different men who shared an unquenchable thirst for fame and a willingness to turn history into
myth, a story that is as much about the nature of human beings as it is about a glorious moment
in our past. But above all it is the story of the men history has forgotten—the crews of the PT
boats whose extraordinary courage gave us that glorious moment, and whose only reward was
to be abandoned and left at the mercy of the Japanese.
Several of them, forgotten by the outside world, fought a lonely war of their own as they
worked to uphold the honor of their country in a land their country had pledged and utterly failed
to defend. 'Saving MacArthur' captures their incredible hardships, close escapes and ultimate
triumph.

'What was it really like to serve in the British Army during the Second World War?
Discover a soldier's view of life in the British Army – from recruitment and training to the brutal
realities of combat. Using first-hand sources, James Goulty reconstructs the experiences of the
men and women who made up the 'citizen's army'. Find out about the weapons and equipment
they used; the uniforms they wore; how they adjusted to army discipline and faced the
challenges of active service overseas.
What happened when things went wrong? What were your chances of survival if you were
injured in combat or taken prisoner? While they didn't go into combat, thousands of women also
served in the British Army with the ATS or as nurses. What were their wartime lives like? And,
when the war had finally ended, how did newly demobilised soldiers and servicewomen cope with
returning home?
The British Army that emerged victorious in 1945 was vastly different from the poorly funded
force of 865,000 men who heard Neville Chamberlain declare war in 1939. With an influx of
civilian volunteers and conscripts, the army became a ‘citizen’s force’ and its character and size
were transformed. By D-Day Britain had a well-equipped, disciplined army of over three million
men and women and during the war they served in a diverse range of places across the world.
This book uncovers some of their stories and gives a fascinating insight into the realities of army
life in wartime.
AUTHOR:
James Goulty is a military historian with special interest in the training and combat experience of
the British Army during the 20th century. He holds a masters degree and doctorate in military
history from the University of Leeds and is a member of the Army Records Society and Western

SELLING POINTS:
• The book examines what it was like to serve with the British Army during 1939-1945, via a
series of thematically based chapters. These cover recruitment and training, and reveal what it
was like to experience active service overseas, plus shed light on issues such as discipline and
morale, prisoners of war, medical care and post-war demobilisation.
• The author uses contemporary sources, from rules and regulations to official documents and
training manuals, to individual experiences preserved within personal diaries, letters and a
variety of other sources.

***AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR***
On 31 May 1916 The German High Seas Fleet clashed with the Royal Navy in the North Sea. The
ensuing Battle of Jutland, known to the Germans as the Skaggerak Battle (der
Skagerrakschlacht), was the most significant naval action of the First World War. Although not
tactically decisive, the strategic result was that British naval supremacy in the North Sea went
unchallenged for the rest of the war and the blockade of Germany remained in place. Many
works have dealt with this clash of titans, and many more will doubtless appear for the
approaching centenary but the German perspective has been sorely neglected. Gary Staff aims
to correct this. By cross-referencing both German and British official records and accounts he has
established the most coherent narrative of the battle possible. But the bare bones of the timeline
are fleshed out with eyewitness accounts from the crews of the German ships. The result is a
gripping read that gives a real sense of the drama, tension and terror of being in battle inside
one of these steel behemoths. The thoroughly researched and accessible text is supported by
clear maps and a large number of archive photos, many never before published, showing the
German vessels before, during and after the action.
AUTHOR:

lives in Australia.
SELLING POINTS:
• 31st May 2016 will be the 100th anniversary of this pivotal battle
• Though tactically inconclusive, the battle was strategically decisive as the German High Seas

Gettysburg as the Soldiers Experienced it From Cemetery Ridge to Little Round Top, July 2, 1863
This is unlike any other Gettysburg book you will ever read. Instead of a dry recitation of the
facts, 'Stand to It and Give Them Hell: Gettysburg as the Soldiers Experienced it from Cemetery
Ridge to Little Round Top, July 2, 1863' chronicles the desperate marching, fighting, command
decisions, and suffering as depicted in the letters, memoirs, diaries, and postwar recollections of
the men from both armies who struggled to control that "hallowed ground." This invaluable
methodology uses the words of those who lived these events to paint a rich tapestry of personal
courage, cowardice, failures, and triumphs. John Michael Priest, dubbed the "Ernie Pyle" of the
Civil War soldier by legendary historian Edwin C. Bears, wrote this book to help readers
understand and experience, as closely as possible through the written word, the stress,
exhaustion, suffering, and sheer terror of that fateful day in Pennsylvania. Readers of all interest
levels will gain a deeper appreciation of the personal sacrifice made by privates and generals
alike. The hundreds of word portraits are supported by 58 detailed original maps, most on the
regimental level. In addition to illustrating the tremendous troop congestion in the Wheatfield,
the Peach Orchard, and Devil's Den, they accurately establish, by regiment or by company, the
extent of the Federal skirmish line from Ziegler's Grove to the Slyder farm, and portray the final
Confederate push against the Codori farm and the center of Cemetery Ridge, against which
three Confederate divisions (in what is popularly known as Pickett's Charge) would unsuccessfully
attack on the final day of fighting on July 3. 'Stand to It and Give Them Hell' is a book about
combat as seen through the eyes of those who waged it. There is no glamour here, and no
adventure. Nor are there accusations, axes to grind, or second-guessing from the comfort of an
easy chair. Instead, Priest's most ambitious book offers the brutal, heart wrenching story of a
slice of America's greatest battle as described by those who marched, fought, bled, and died
there. These are their stories, and ones you will long remember.

A well-illustrated history of a hitherto untold and ignored U-boat story
The U-boat war against Russia was as fierce and unrelenting as the land war that raged along
the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1945. From Wolf Pack attacks on Russian convoy traffic and
military vessels to close-quarter combat undertaken by small U-boats transported by land and
river to the Black Sea, the Kriegsmarine wrestled for control of the seas fringing an embattled
Soviet Union.
Previously untold in English, the struggle between the Kriegsmarine's U-boats and the Red Navy
lasted from the opening salvos of Operation Barbarossa to the final chaotic days of Germany's
defeat.
AUTHOR:
Lawrence Paterson has a long-standing interest in the Kriegsmarine and is the author of ten
books on the subject including 'U-Boat War Patrol', 'Hitler's Grey Wolves, Weapons Of
Desperation' (Greenhill Books), 'Black Flag', 'Donitz's Last Gamble' and 'U-boats in the
Mediterranean' (Seaforth Publishing). He has worked in the Royal Navy Submarine Museum and,
in his other career, is a heavy metal drummer.
SELLING POINTS:
• Includes first-person testimony from Black Sea U-Boat officer Gerd Enders and other veterans
• Details the German view of the attack on British convoys including PQ17
• Fresh perspective on the Wehrmacht's war in the East
• Never-before-published colour and b/w photos and written material

Under Their Own Flag:
A History of 47 Squadron 1916-1946

To mark the centenary of the formation of one of the Royal Air Force's longest serving
squadrons Fighting High Publishing presents Owen Clark's 'Under Their Own Flag', which details
the remarkable story of No. 47 Squadron from its birth in 1916 through to the culmination of the
Second World War. Formed at Beverley, Yorkshire, on 1 March 1916, No. 47 Squadron went on
to operate in far flung corners of the world, frequently as the sole representatives of the Royal
Air Force and the United Kingdom. During the First World War the squadron flying Armstrong
Whitworth FK3s, amongst other types, was stationed in Greece fighting the Bulgarian forces, and
in 1919 the squadron was deployed to southern Russia to support the White Army during the
Russian Civil War, operating aircraft such as the Airco DH9 and Sopwith Camel. The 1920s and
30s found the squadron, equipped with aircraft such as the de Havilland DH9a, Fairey IIIF, and
Fairey Gordon, deployed to Egypt and the Sudan on 'policing duties', before engaging the Italians
during the early Second World War campaigns in East Africa, operating Vickers Wellesleys.
During 1942 and 1943, equipped with the Bristol Beaufort and Beaufighter, the squadron
undertook numerous 'armed rover' patrols in support of the fighting in North Africa and Tunisia,
subsequently assisting in the Allied attempts to prevent the Aegean islands from coming under
enemy control. A transfer to the Far East followed and a conversion to de Havilland Mosquitos.
With the Japanese defeated the squadron went on to fulfil peace keeping duties on the Island of
Java. Author Owen Clark has drawn on his considerable archive, and utilized a wealth of
previously unpublished photographs, to tell the story of this unique and distinguished squadron.
Also included is a selection of specially commissioned aircraft profiles. The squadron of today
prides itself on its ability 'to get the job done', an approach that is as present today as it was in
the beginning. 'Under Their Own Flag' presents the first three decades of this unique and
extraordinary squadron, and the men who served 'Sans Peur'.
AUTHOR:
Owen Clark is a Chartered Surveyor specialising in corporate property. His interest in 47
Squadron comes from his father, a Second World War wireless operator/air gunner who later
joined 47 Squadron and flew during the Berlin Air Lift.

On 31 December AD 406, a group of German tribes crossed the Rhine, pierced the Roman
defensive limes and began a rampage across Roman Gaul, sacking cities such as Metz, Arras and
Strasbourg. Foremost amongst them were the Vandals and their search for a new homeland
took them on the most remarkable odyssey. The Romans were unable to stop them and their
closest allies, the Alans, marching the breadth of Gaul, crossing the Pyrenees and making
themselves masters of Spain.
However, this Kingdom of the Vandals and Alans soon came under intense pressure from Rome's
Visigothic allies. In 429, under their new king, Gaiseric, they crossed the straits of Gibraltar to
North Africa. They quickly overran this rich Roman province and established a stable kingdom.
Taking to the seas they soon dominated the Western Mediterranean and raided Italy, famously
sacking Rome itself in 455. Eventually, however, they were utterly conquered by Belisarius in
533 and vanished from history. Simon MacDowall narrates and analyses these events, with
particular focus on the evolution of Vandal armies and warfare.
AUTHOR:
Simon MacDowall was born in England but from the age of 10 grew up in Canada. He joined the
Canadian army, trained as an officer and saw active service with the UN in Honduras and
Nicuragua and with NATO in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. In 1994 he was the UN spokesman in
Sarajevo. He later worked for NATO as a civilian before joining the UK civil service, where he
has been Communications Manager for several departments, including the MOD and HMRC. In
his spare time he is a keen wargamer and military historian, with six previous books to his
name.

Verdun 1916:
The Renaissance of the Fortress

Wrapped in myth and distortion, the Battle of Verdun is one of the most enigmatic battles of the
Great War, and the controversy continues a century later. Before the battle the Germans
believed they had selected one of the strongest points in the French defences in the hope that, if
they smashed through it, the French would collapse. But Verdun was actually a hollow shell since
its forts were largely disarmed and the trench lines were incomplete. So why did the Germans
fail to take Verdun?
As well as seeking to answer this fundamental question, the authors of this perceptive new study
reconsider other key aspects of the battle - the German deployment of stormtroopers, the use of
artillery and aircraft, how the French developed the idea of methodical battle which came to
dominate their military thought after the war. They look too at how Verdun brought about a
renaissance of fortress engineering that resulted in the creation of the Maginot Line and the
other fortifications constructed in Europe before the Second World War.
AUTHOR:
J.E. Kaufmann is a retired teacher and presently an adjunct professor at Palo Alto Jr. College and
H.W. Kaufmann, PhD, is a retired professor, and they live in the United States. Their most recent
books on fortifications are 'The Maginot Line', 'The Atlantic Wall', 'The Forts and Fortifications of
Europe 1815-1945: The Central States' and 'The Forts and Fortifications of Europe 1815-1945:
The Neutral States'.
SELLING POINTS:
• Fresh history of the Battle of Verdun focusing on the role of the fortifications
• Graphic and concise account of the tactics and the fighting
• Sets the battle in the context of developments in military technology
• Written by one of the foremost authorities on nineteenth- and twentieth-century fortifications
• A new perspective on one of the most famous battles of the First World War

Aviation historians will know that the Avro Lancaster bomber is the most famous aircraft to have
fought with RAF Bomber Command during World War Two. They will know too that, of the 7,366
that were built, over 3,400 were lost on operations and a further 200 plus were destroyed and
written-off in crashes. Operational sorties flown totalled more than 156,000, carrying over
600,000 tons of bombs to targets all over Europe.
But this came at a terrible cost. With extensive losses on some night operations, occurring when
bombers were pitted against a dedicated German night-fighter arm (as well as anti-aircraft fire)
it is not surprising, or even incredible, that just 35 Lancasters managed to complete 100 or more
sorties during the course of the war. A number of them actually achieved well over one hundred
sorties, and a few were tragically lost after reaching this amazing figure.
This book covers the history of these 35 incredible Lancasters, featuring many photographs of
both aircraft and crew members drawn together in an effort to create a photographic record of
these veterans. In addition, there is a section dedicated to many Lancasters that, whilst not
achieving this almost magic total, either through eventual loss or the ending of the war, did
achieve a large number of operations. Pictures of these have been added so that their
achievements, as well as the achievements of the crews who flew in them, can be viewed
together.

SELLING POINTS:
• A comprehensive photographic tribute to the 35 Lancaster Bombers that completed 100 or
more sorties during the Second World War.
• Features images of the Bombers, as well as the crews that flew in them.
• Also pays tribute to the aircraft and crews that, whilst not quite managing to rack up the
benchmark 100 sorties, still managed to complete an impressive number of operations during
the course of the war.

Naval VCs have been won in places as far apart in time and distance as the Baltic in 1854 and
Japan in 1945, in the trenches from the Crimea to the Western Front, in harbours from Dar es
Salaam to Zeebrugge, from the Barents to the Java Sea, from New Zealand to the North
Atlantic, and from China to the Channel.
They have been won in battleships and trawlers, in submarines below the water and aircraft
above it, on horseback and on foot.
Age and rank meant nothing. Boy Cornwall was not seventeen at Jutland, and Frederick Parslow
was in his sixtieth year when he earned his VC on board a horse transport ship. William Hall was
the son of a freed slave; Charles Lucas, awarded the Royal Navy's first VC, became a Rear
Admiral.
Neither were all the recipients of Britain's highest gallantry decoration British, and men from
Canada, Australia and New Zealand were included in those whose actions were recognised by the
awarding of the VC. Yet every one of them had one thing in common - uncommon valour.

• All the VCs awarded to seamen or those fighting on or from the sea.

At the heart of David Buttery's third book on the Peninsular War lies the comparison between
two great commanders of enormous experience and reputation - Arthur Wellesley, later Duke of
Wellington, and Jean de Dieu Soult. In Soult, Wellesley met one of his most formidable
opponents and they confronted each other during one of the most remarkable, and neglected, of
the Peninsular campaigns. Soult's invasion of Portugal is rarely studied in great depth and,
likewise, the offensive Wellesley launched, which defeated and expelled the French, has also
received scant coverage. As well as giving a fresh insight into the contrasting characters of the
two generals, the narrative offers a gripping and detailed, reconstruction of the organization and
experience of a military campaign 200 years ago.
AUTHOR:
David Buttery has established a reputation as a leading historian of nineteenth-century British
military history. He has made a particular study of the Napoleonic and Crimean wars. He has
worked in newspapers and museums and has published extensively in many of the leading
military history periodicals including the Victorian Military Society's journal, The Leicestershire
Chronicle and Military Illustrated. His most recent books are 'Wellington Against Massena: The
Third Invasion of Portugal 1810-1811', 'Messenger of Death: Captain Nolan and the Charge of
the Light Brigade,' 'Wellington Against Junot: The First Invasion of Portugal 1807-1808' and the
'Waterloo Battlefield Guide'.
SELLING POINTS:
• Detailed, graphic reconstruction of the 1809 campaign in Portugal
• Reassessment of two remarkable soldiers: Wellesley and Soult
• Vivid account of the seizure of Porto and the French retreat
• Reconsiders the impact of the campaign on the outcome of the Peninsular War

Traces the involvement of the Irish in World War One
The First World War was the biggest conflict in Irish history. More men served and more men
died than in all the wars before or since that the Irish fought in. Often forgotten at home and

Western Front. He visits those places where the Irish made their mark and left their mark in the
monuments, cemeteries and landscapes of France and Flanders.

"Putting 'F.A.Q.' together so brilliantly must have been an extremely complex publishing project
years in the making, but it was well worth it. Usually, the quickest way for today’s hobbyists to
conduct research is searching the Internet. But no computer can compete with the easy
accessibility of this book. And, as an added bonus, it’s packed with very practical and economical
ideas for making dioramas look amazing without breaking the bank. My compliments to the
Andrea and Milla brothers for sharing their passion, experience and knowledge with our hobby in
such a wonderful way. This insightful and creative book is
an impressive legacy that hobbyists will be turning to for years to come." - Toy Soldier and

In the Orient there is a belief that the gods, using an invisible red thread, connect every person
with their destined 'other'. In Japanese legend, the thread is thought to be tied around the little
finger of everyone on earth. According to this myth, the thread can travel everywhere,
regardless of time, place and circumstances, until finding its other end. It is also said that the
magical thread may be twisted or tangled but never broken. This book follows the myth and
consists of four parts representing the four seasons: SPRING - the birth; SUMMER - the
flourishing; AUTUMN - the experience; WINTER - the knowledge. On each illustration the invisible
thread is hidden, weaving through nature, culture and the myths of traditional and contemporary
Japanese life. You, the reader, needs to find and transform the invisible thread into the magical
red one, while colouring the rest of the world it passes through using your imagination, and
follow the red thread to find its destiny. Includes 6 pages of characters, icons, traditions and
curiosities of Japanese arts and crafts.

Genealogically and historically, Kent is an important maritime county which has played a prime
defensive role in English history. It is large and diverse and replete with great houses, castles
and other family homes, many with their own archives. It is also a fascinating area of research
for family and local historians, and David Wright's handbook is the perfect guide to it.
For thirty-five years he has been working with the various Kent archives, and his extensive
experience means he is uniquely well placed to introduce them to other researchers and show
how they can be used. He summarises the many different classes of Kent records, both national
and local. For the first time he draws together the best of modern indexing and cataloguing
along with other long-established sources to produce a balanced and up-to-date overview of
Kentish genealogical sources - where to find them, their contents and utility to researchers.
'Tracing Your Kent Ancestors' is essential reading and reference for newcomers to family history,
and it will be a mine of practical information for researchers who have already started to work in
the field.

Flex your photographic skills to capture stunning bird photographs in your backyard and beyond
Birds are beautiful, fascinating, and action-packed subjects, and they can be photographed
anywhere at any time. There are many reasons why photographers opt to create images of
birds—from identifying them, to capturing gorgeous artwork, to documenting their unique
behaviours. In this book, acclaimed photographer Jeffrey Rich presents the technical
photographic and observation skills, plus the artistic techniques required to capture a beautiful
image of a bird in action. With a mastery of this level of bird photography, capturing the more
static pictures will be much easier.
Birding has become one of the fastest-growing endeavours in the great outdoors, and
photographing birds is one of the highest skill levels within the birding world. In this book, author
Jeffrey Rich discusses the tools you will need to better the odds of capturing technically correct,
sharply focused, beautifully lit and well-composed images. He also shares tips for reading bird
behaviour, attracting birds, and using hides or blinds to improve the odds of capturing
sought-after images of even the most elusive bird subjects. Treading softly and treating birds
and the environment with the utmost respect is, for Rich, a critical component of the bird
photography experience. He provides simple strategies and poignant advice for respecting and
protecting both the subjects and their habitats.
While the basics of photography and bird behaviour has not changed in the last few decades, the
digital technology revolution presents photographers with myriad tools for enhancing the capture
and postproduction treatments of images. Rich presents information on apps, plus some critical
strategies that you can use in Lightroom and Photoshop to make the most of your photographs.
Finally, you’ll find discussions on making the most of your bird photography while traveling in the
United States and abroad, sharing your images, and using your images to educate the public and
raise awareness for bird/nature conservation.
AUTHOR:
A self taught nature photographer Jeffrey Rich considers himself more as a photo-naturalist
producing artful images of mother nature. He is a wildlife and bird photography specialist with
photos published in National Wildlife, National Geographic, Audubon and many other publications.
Jeff has also written a number of articles about wildlife and birds. His book is 'Baby Birds', one of
his photographic passions, published by Rio Nuevo.

with the people who indulged themselves on Australia's urban and country beaches over a period
of sixty years. These images demonstrate how vital a part the beach plays in the Australian
consciousness.
Jill White, as custodian of Dupain's personal/exhibition archive, offers us here the opportunity to

'Nomad Two Worlds' traces the remarkable creative journey of internationally renowned
Australian photographer Russell James through his fine art project, 'Nomad Two Worlds'. This
stunning photographic art book shows the progression of James' work on this project over the
last decade. What began as a purely personal attempt to understand and interpret through
photography the clash of ancient and modern cultures he witnessed growing up in Australia, has
today become a powerful expression of partnership, reconciliation, and economic opportunity in
action through art, music and film. Nomad Two Worlds aims to be a global example of true
collaboration across deep cultural divides. 'Nomad Two Worlds' showcases James' artistic
collaborations with a range of Indigenous Australian, Native American and Haitian artists. These
artists have added their own evocative interpretations or "story" to James' images by hand,
incorporating legends and concepts that relate directly to the thematic intent of the photographs
using their chosen artform. The result is a striking collection of contemporary photography
combined with more traditional artforms including painting, beading, textiles and sculpture.
Some of the world's most beautiful and interesting people including Heidi Klum, Sir Richard
Branson, The Black Eyed Peas, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Hugh Jackman and more, also
agreed to be photographed for the collaborations. Overall, the collection is a celebration of
cultural difference, and tries to challenge mainstream perceptions of ancient and threatened
cultures, whilst creating a platform for dialogue and education. Since its launch in New York in
2009 with the support of Donna Karan, Hugh Jackman and the Australian Government, the
Nomad Two Worlds art collection has been previewed in Melbourne, Los Angeles, Berlin, Haiti,
Washington, D.C. and London.
'Nomad Two Worlds' has now evolved into a socially responsible global business that celebrates
the beauty and rich cultural history of Indigenous and marginalised people worldwide, whilst
bringing long-term economic benefit to the artists and communities James’ collaborates with. It
has been hailed as an exemplary business model, promoting economic development through
artistic collaboration.

selection, Chen shows readers how to choose and use the tools they need to create high-caliber
image results. Next, he offers photographers tips for getting through the microstock submissions
process and putting their images in front of a viewing audience. He introduces a host of tools for

An invaluable resource for children and parents in transition.
• A guide to parenting with mindfulness, flexibility, and resilience to provide a calm and centered
emotional environment for children during divorce and while being raised in a two-home family.
• Research has shown that coparenting has numerous benefits on children, including developing
feelings of stability, continuing relationships with both parents, and not feeling torn between
parents. (University of New Hampshire)
Coparenting means putting your child's needs first. And conscious parenting acknowledges a
child's thoughts, feelings, and needs, as well as a parent's responsibility to them.
'The Conscious Parent's Guide to Coparenting' is a guide to coparenting with mindfulness and
flexibility, teaching parents how to foster forgiveness and find constructive ways to move on
when relationships change.
This relationship-centered handbook advises parents on:.
• Communicating openly with children about divorce.
• Discussing and reaching parenting decisions together.
• Building a coparenting relationship based on mutual respect.
• Protecting children, meeting their needs, and helping them build resilience
The concept of ending a marriage peacefully, with compassion and respect for former partners,
is often viewed with surprise in modern society. However, choosing to consciously coparent is an
important choice for parents and children--one that will benefit the emotional health of the family
for years to come.

How to Recognize, Understand, and Deal With People Who Try to Control You
Does this sound like someone you know?
• Always needs to be right
• Tells you who you are and what you think
• Implies that you're wrong or inadequate when you don't agree
• Is threatened by people different from him- or herself
• Feels attacked when questioned
• Doesn't seem to really hear or see you
If any of the traits above sound familiar, help is on the way! In 'Controlling People', bestselling
author Patricia Evans ('The Verbally Abusive Relationship') tackles the "controlling personality,"
and reveals why and how these people try to run other people's lives. She also explains the
compulsion that makes them continue this behavior-even as they alienate others and often lose
those they love.

In this groundbreaking follow-up to her bestselling books 'The Verbally Abusive Relationship' and

prescribing a course of action for both victim and abuser. Coupling stories of abused women and
abusive men from her own case studies, Evans gives you the tools you need to transform your
relationship. Most important, she assures you that such a transformation is possible-given the
right circumstances. Evans also helps you determine if your abuser really has changed-or if he's
merely creating the illusion of change. And if he hasn't changed, Evans helps you decide whether
it's time to leave the relationship-and what to do when it is. Combining practical applications and
the latest clinical research with her trademark support and assurance, Evans shows you how to
empower yourself, improve your relationship, and change your life for the better.

'The Great Bike Race' is revered by modern cycling critics and was the first book in English to tell
the entire story of a full tour. Vivid descriptions of the racing, the personalities, tactics and
intrigues of the 1976 race are rotated with insightful thematic chapters. Republished on the 40th
anniversary of the race and original first publication.
If Alpe d'Huez was a rigorous climb, with its mathematical progression of tight corners and steep
inclines, the Izoard is far more awesome, a rocky wilderness at 7,743 feet, which needs only a
few bleached skulls at the roadside to complete its sense of desolation.
Geoffrey Nicholson's 'The Great Bike Race' is universally revered by modern cycling critics as the
benchmark English-language volume of the sport and has risen to mythical status. It was the
first book in English to tell the entire story of a full tour and truly captivates the reader from
start to finish. Nicholson's classic, vivid descriptions of the racing, the personalities, tactics and
intrigues of the 1976 race are rotated with insightful thematic chapters where he lifts the lid on
the broader culture and lengthy traditions of cycling's most famous race and the greatest annual
sports event in the world.
On the 40th anniversary of the race and original first publication, Velodrome Publishing is most
honoured to republish and celebrate this seminal cycling tome as the launch volume in the
'Vintage Velodrome' series of titles.

Airline Visual Identity 1945-1975 rounds up the most imaginative, influential and surprising
designs of the airlines' commercial art from the "golden age of flying." Arguably no other book
has been produced with such technical sophistication in recent years. It provides an
unprecedented outline of the development of the visual identities of thirteen pioneering airlines,
combining innovative research and stunning, museum-like presentations of hundreds of
spectacular aviation posters, other illustrations and photos.
Conceived by some of the world's top creative minds, such as Ivan Chermayeff, Otl Aicher,
Massimo Vignelli, Academy Award winner Saul Bass, or advertising titan Mary Wells Lawrence,
the designs found in the book's case studies also illustrate the shift from traditional methods of
corporate design and advertising to comprehensive modern identity branding programs which
took place in the same period.
To reproduce all of the images as precisely as possible, a total of seventeen different colours,
five different varnishes, and two different methods of foil printing and embossing were used. The
result is a book of exceptional vivacity that pushes the limits of modern art printing technology.
The Premium Edition has received glowing reviews in leading media around the world, including
The New York Times, Newsweek, CNN, New Republic, Slate, Adweek, and dozens of others in
the United States, France, Britain, Germany, China, Japan, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, Spain,

During the mid 1980s, in a drive for greater efficiency, British Rail required another heavy freight
locomotive. The new Class 60 locomotive was to be constructed using lessons learned from the
Classes 56 and 58. Six organisations were invited to tender but only three did so. The contract
was awarded to Brush Electrical Machines (today, Brush Traction, part of the Wabtec Rail Group)

hundred Class 60 diesel-electric locomotives.
Using original research from the National Archives, British Rail Class 60 Locomotives is a high
illustrated guide that explores the commissioning of the Class 60s and their construction, testing
and running. It gives an in-depth technical appraisal of the class and details names, liveries,
modifications and preservation and includes the 'Super 60' refurbishment and acquisition of ten
Class 60s for Colas Rail UK, bringing the timeline to the present day.

Canadian Pacific: Creating a Brand, Building a Nation is the intriguing story of the private railway
company that pushed political unification and shaped the country's image. Up to now virtually
nothing has been published about Canadian Pacific's decisive role in "branding" the nation at

Known internationally as "the Bible of canoe building," Canoecraft is back, and it's bigger and
better than ever. The best-selling how-to guide has been completely revised and expanded, and
master canoe builder Ted Moores again infuses the pages with the experience and wisdom
acquired over almost three decades. His step-by-step instructions, generously illustrated with
new photographs and diagrams and incorporated into an accessible fresh design, will allow even
the beginner to create a reasonably priced classic. North America's leading builder of
woodstrip/epoxy canoes, Moores is a longtime teacher of wooden-boat construction as well. With
students who have ranged in age from 11 to 87, Moores has discovered that all have been
motivated by the same dream: to build something beautiful and functional.
Canoecraft is the road map to that dream. In it, Moores offers comprehensive instructions for
the first-time builder and, with the second-time builder in mind, includes a larger variety of
canoe plans -- five of which are brand-new. In this edition, each plan is presented as a traditional
table of offsets. Moores has also added a series of builder's tips and new techniques and an
entire chapter on carving a paddle, the perfect accompaniment to your handcrafted canoe. His
message is straightforward: When good materials are used and simple steps performed with
care, professional results are sure to follow.
Whether your goal is to build a general-purpose recreational canoe, an efficient modern tripping
canoe or a full-decked fast-cruising canoe with walnut veneer, Canoecraft can help you make it
happen.
AUTHOR:
Ted Moores is a best-selling author. In 1972, Moores pioneered the woodstrip/epoxy boatbuilding
system for canoes and, since then, has promoted the fine art of wooden-canoe and kayak
construction. He is the author of Kayaks You Can Build.

New additions to the automotive market are judged primarily by efficiency or fuel consumption.
Things are quite different for historical cars. Major car shows, from Pebble Beach to Villa d'Este,
feature classic cars, which, although they may not achieve top marks in the wind tunnel, have a
timeless elegance that makes the hearts of all aficionados skip a beat. The photographer Ansel
Adams, who was an honorary judge at Pebble Beach, once defined them as follows: "The type of
vehicle I would like to be buried in." From the Jaguar XK 140 to the Porsche 550 Spyder, Rene
Staud has shot automotive classics in settings ranging from the subtle to the spectacular. As
co-organizer and head of the Car Selection Committee for Schloss Bensberg Classics, Ju¨rgen
Lewandowski provides authoritative texts. 'The Classic Cars Book' conveys a real passion for
these spectacular vehicles, appealing to existing fans and those yet to fall under their spell.
Text in English, German, French, Russian and Chinese

Developed in the early 1950s to meet a Soviet Army requirement and first flown in June 1957,
the Mi-6 was the largest-yet helicopter created in the Soviet Union. Its notable features included
a power-plant consisting of two turbo-shaft engines (for the first time on a Soviet helicopter) and
stub wings offloading the main rotor in forward flight; the cabin was big enough to accommodate
artillery systems and tactical ballistic missiles. Built by two plants, the Mi-6 saw service with the
Soviet Air Force (including participation in the Afghan War) and the air arms of several Soviet
allies. It also proved valuable as a civil air-lifter during oilfield exploration in Siberia, remaining in
service right the way up to 2002. A worthy successor to the Mi-6 appeared in 1977 - the Mi-26.
With its 20-ton payload, it was (and still is) the world's largest and most capable transport
helicopter. Again, the Mi-26 had both military and commercial uses (the former included
participation in several armed conflicts); the type is still in production, being updated to meet
modern requirements, and has been exported to several countries in Asia and Latin America.
The book describes the history, variants and service career of the Mil' 'big lifters' and contains a
detailed overview of the scale model kits covering these types which are currently available on
the market.

The great age of Mediterranean passenger liners begins in earnest in the 1920s when the Italians
built their first big ships, such as the Augustus, Saturnia and Conte Grande. Then, in the 1930s,
things grew more exciting with the creation of the superliners Rex and Conte di Savoia. The book
then concentrates on the 1950s and '60s as Italy built a huge post- war fleet and France, Greece,
Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Israel commissioned their biggest ships yet. Some were new- builds,
like Israel's Shalom, France's Bretagne, Portugal's Vera Cruz and Spain's Cabo San Roque;
others were converted, sometimes lavishly refitted ships with fascinating histories. Italy's former
Franca 'C', a converted freighter, still lives on, having reached her 100th birthday.

Porsche 914:
An Enthusiast's Guide
Author: GOODING, RICHARD
ISBN: 9781785001512
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 160
Category: Transport
RRP: $54.99
9HSLHSF*aabfbc+
The 914 was born into consistently confusing and troubled times at Porsche and Volkswagen.
The idea of a non-911 Porsche in the late 1960s horrified many. A Porsche with an engine that
wasn't in the back was simply unthinkable. Richard Gooding examines the story of a car of
mixed parentage, which against the odds became a success in its relatively short, six-and-a half
year lifespan. Around 119,000 cars were sold from 1969 to 1975, outselling contemporary rivals
such as the Opel GT, and meaning it was the first mid-engined car to achieve six-digit sales.
As a present-day classic, although challenging to some, low-slung looks and bright colours make
the 1970s 914 period-perfect. Combined with near-ideal weight distribution and a low centre of
gravity, its mid-engine layout means the 914 can achieve cornering G-forces comparable to the
contemporary 911. The 914 was seen as a car that could inject a shot of glamour into VW's
slightly worthy and dependable range of air-cooled cars.
AUTHOR:
Richard Gooding is a motoring writer with a car and Volkswagen obsession. A contributor to
Volkswagen Driver and VW Motoring magazines, Richard has also sub-edited a diverse range of
titles including Classic Car Weekly, Classic Cars, Land Rover Owner International and Practical
Classics.
SELLING POINTS:
• Covers the history, development and manufacture of the 914 through troubled times at
Porsche and Volkswagen.
• The impact of its design upon its successors is discussed as well as buying and owning a 914
today
It set the template for other non-rear-engined Porsches.
• Of great interest to Porsche and VW enthusiasts as initially the 914 was a Porsche-VW
collaboration.
• Superbly illustrated with 218 colour photographs.
• Richard Gooding is a Volkswagen obsessive, a motoring writer and a contributor to many VW
and classic car magazines.

RRP: $75.00
9HSLERD*idiahj+
This is the first in a new series on the South Wales Valleys by John Hodge, author of the South
Wales Main Line series and North and West series, each of four volumes. The South Wales
Valleys were famous for coal mining, iron and steel, tinplate works and the railways that served
both industries, between them accounting for a very high percentage of employment in the area.
This book relates the history of the early years of each industry and follows this through the
railway steam and diesel age to the present day. The book traces the original Newport stations
of Courtybella and Dock Street for the Valleys services and how this changed to High Street from
1880. Individual sections are presented on each main railway activity, accounts of each location
along the route with sections on the railway layout, collieries and other industrial concerns, all
illustrated by an abundant supply of photographs of the railway steam and diesel era, with
accounts of the many collieries from the early years of the nineteenth century, to the end of coal
mining in the Western Valley in 1989.A detailed, widely illustrated series on the valleys such as
this, is long overdue and this first book in the series. The book is divided into two parts, the first
covering the area as far as Aberbeeg and the second continuing to the heads of the Valley at
Ebbw Vale and Brynmawr, as well as an account of the Hall's Road line.
AUTHOR:
The author is a former railway manager in South Wales during the 1960s, who since retirement

Railways of Ayrshire

Pages: 160

RRP: $54.99

In the early 1800s, Ayrshire was already established as a prosperous, mainly rural agricultural
county. The realisation that there was abundant coal and (to a lesser extent) iron ore deposits
to be exploited, together with the coming of the Industrial Revolution, rendered the area wide
open to the 'railway mania' that swept Britain in the mid to late 1800s. The proximity of the
county north to Glasgow and south to Carlisle (and thence south) made it an attractive
proposition for early railway developers.
Gordon Thomson explores the history and development of the railway routes in Ayrshire; how
the coming of the railways changed the face of the area and supported the growth of industry.
It looks at how services evolved through the eras of LMS, nationalisation and privatisation, and
the preservation and heritage scene in Ayrshire.
AUTHOR:
Gordon Thomson is a lifelong railway enthusiast, starting his interest as a teenager in the late
1960s. Since 1980, he has lived in Ayrshire, taking a keen interest in the history and

an active member of the Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group.
SELLING POINTS:
• Explores the history and development of the railway routes in Ayrshire, and how the railways
supported the growth of industry.
• Ideal reading for all railway and local history enthusiasts, particularly those interested in the
development and heritage of the railways in Scotland and the Ayrshire area.
• Covers the eras of LMS, nationalization and privatization as well as the preservation and
heritage scene in Ayrshire.

All Strangers Are Kin:
Adventures in Arabic and the Arab World

A lively, often hilarious, and always warm hearted exploration of Arabic language and culture
After years of studying Arabic, Zora O'Neill faced an increasing certainty that she was not only
failing to master the language but was also driving herself crazy. So she stepped away. But a
decade later she still couldn't shake her fascination with Arabic and returned to her studies, this
time with a new approach.
O'Neill embarks on a grand tour through the Middle East — to Egypt, the UAE, Lebanon, and
Morocco — packing her dictionaries, her unsinkable sense of humour, and her talent for making
fast friends of strangers. She travels along quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets and amid the lively
buzz of crowded cities and medinas. She jumps off the tourist track, into families’ homes and
local hotspots, and makes a part of the world that is thousands of miles away seem right next
door.
With lively prose and an eye for the deeply absurd and the deeply human, O'Neill explores the
indelible links between culture and communication. All Strangers Are Kin is a powerful testament
to the dynamism of language and how learning another tongue leaves you rich with so much
more than words.

• Stunning photos of Cuba, a country in transition, by Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer
Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer went to Cuba and came back with surprising, often
tragicomical pictures of a split country. Fidel Castro on a wall poster, while a man in the same
picture wears a T-shirt emblazoned with' FBI'. Four Cubans withdrawing money in a bank, while
Che Guevara watches them from a portrait above their heads.
In his new photography book, with an introduction by curator and publicist Gabriela Salgado, Carl
De Keyzer captures Cuba's duality in pictures. With a master's eye, he paints the picture of a
country that is still rooted in communism, while reaching for Western capitalism.

Field Guide to the Kokoda Track
(Third Edition)
Author: JAMES BILL
ISBN: 9780977570454
Imprint: Kokoda Press
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 528
Category: Travel
RRP: $34.99

***AUSTRALIAN CONTENT/AUTHOR ***
The Kokoda legend lay dormant for six decades, during which the rampant New Guinean jungle
reclaimed many of its historic sites. Now, after years of painstaking research, and with the aid of
the fast-thinning ranks of both Australian and Japanese veterans, Bill James has uncovered these
'lost battlefields', plus more. This book is intended to be an historical preparation for people who
want to, or are actually planning to, walk the Kokoda Track. It can also be read as a
'stand-alone' story and will appeal to people who simply want to learn more about the history of
Kokoda, and understand more about the legend that surrounds it. The book includes many
telling excerpts from the hand-written diaries and memoirs of the men who were actually there
in the thick of battle, eyewitnesses to these extraordinary times. The aim of this book is not to
write another analytical history of the campaign. While providing some historical background and
personal perspectives, its main objective is to be a battlefield guide—a companion to the history
books. It attempts to correctly identify and describe the localities of many of the 1942–43
battles, as well as other places of wartime significance—encampments, supply dumps, aid posts,
hospitals, etc.—used by the Australians, from Port Moresby in the south to the
Gona–Sanananda–Buna beaches in the north. It also attempts to locate the path of the wartime
Kokoda Track over the Owen Stanley Range, from Owers' Corner (south) to the village of
Kokoda (north of the range). Of the 96 kilometres that can be covered by current-day trekkers,
approximately 10 of them are not part of the original track used during the campaign—these
more recent tracks were cut to access new village sites and gardens, leaving the old wartime
track unused and overgrown.
Virtually all Australians who go on trekking tours to Kokoda have local Papuan guides, and many
are accompanied by Australian trek leaders. However, the practical interpretation of historical
information available to these guides is extremely limited. This carefully researched book is
intended to fill this void. It is hoped this will make the trek a far richer experience. For those
wishing to fully understand the history of the Kokoda Track, the book will be of great interest.
For those intending to undertake the gruelling trek, it is essential reading, and includes a
waterproof trek map (540 mm x 408 mm 2-sided). The revised edition now includes the grave
or memorial information for the fallen.
REVIEWS:
"This is a wonderful book that is a must-take for anyone walking the Track. Written with the
careful eye of an historian and coming from the heart of a passionate Kokoda trekker, it is,
above all, a guide to the Australian Spirit." Peter Fitzsimons, author and journalist

The home of the pope and the seat of the Holy See, the Vatican is a unique entity, a sovereign
city-state that shelters some of the world’s most sacred treasures within its hundred and ten
acres. The story of this hallowed ground is inextricable from the history of the Catholic Church.
But this book reveals that the Vatican is also a tiny living city of many facets, some of them little
known. Vatican expert Dominique Chivot follows the journeys of countless pilgrims and cardinals,
tracing their footsteps beyond the plazas, basilicas, and museums to unlock the secrets of
Vatican City. Chivot recounts papal history in great anecdotal detail, highlighting the legendary
reigns of popes from St. Peter to John Paul II, and illuminating masterpieces of architecture,
painting, and sculpture executed by artists such as Bernini, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
