The Daguerreotype Camera of 1839 is a photographic landmark. It introduced the first practical
method for taking a photograph. Except that what is generally acknowledged as the first
photograph was actually taken thirteen years before with a different type of camera. The Leica
was the first camera to make the 35mm format popular, but it was by no means the first
camera to use 35mm film. Likewise, Polaroid wasn't the first to produce an instant picture
camera but was, surprisingly, the first company to introduce an autofocus single lens reflex. The
history of the camera is flush with similar anomalies. This lavishly illustrated book with over 460
pictures looks at the cameras that became landmarks and analyses how and why they influenced
future design – sometimes in a big, important manner, other times in a lesser but still significant
way.
AUTHOR:
John Wade has written and illustrated numerous articles on camera history for photographic,
antique, and collectors' magazines in the UK, America, and Australia and has written, edited, or
contributed to more than 30 books on photographic history and techniques.

Mining's dramatic and dangerous nature is reflected in the hundreds of specialised tools and
artefacts shown in over 500 colour photographs and discussed in this revised and expanded
second edition with updated pricing. Thirty categories, from advertising and assay equipment to
surveying equipment and tokens, chronicle old mining methods in detail. An elevated
appreciation is gained here of the men and women who spent part of their lives mining with this
equipment. Today, historians and collectors pay respect to those people as they preserve and
interpret the equipment that remains. This is an important and valuable reference for all
concerned.
AUTHOR:
David W. Pearson and Ron Bommarito both live near the Ludwig historic mining district of
Nevada and are experienced, long-time students of mining and collectors of mining artefacts.
They each have examined thousands of items in public and private collections and watched the

With more than 200 photographs and specifications for 32 watches, this book provides a
comprehensive history of one of Germany's finest watchmakers and its timepieces. Since its
founding in 1845, A. Lange and Sohne has been at the core of fine watchmaking. Wanting to
create perfectly timed watches that did not require remachining, innovative watchmaker
Ferdinand Adolph Lange established a tradition of precise workmanship that evolved through
generations of the family into a production facility of haute horlogerie, handcrafting a mere
5,500 pieces a year. From the rare 1A-quality works that command top dollars at auctions to its
more affordable and modern Lange 1, Arkade, and Saxonia models, the company's high-quality
timepieces and the people behind the brand are detailed. From rare and historical pocket
watches to the company's line of modern wristwatches, all conserve the philosophy of a man
instrumental to the evolution of mechanical timekeeping.
AUTHOR: Journalist and author Harry Niemann has been writing about watches since 1992. He's
been the Senior Archivist and Historian at Daimler Benz AG for more than two decades.
SELLING POINTS:
• A comprehensive history of one of Germany’s finest watchmakers and its timepieces

An engagingly written volume which tells the colourful story of the Renwick Gallery's initial glory,
decline, and rebirth over a period of 160 years
Fully illustrated with maps, original architectural designs, historical and contemporary
photographs, and comparative and contextual images
The Renwick Gallery is the oldest extant building in the United States constructed exclusively as a
public art museum. Charles J. Robertson reveals how a new pavilion of the Louvre inspired
William Wilson Corcoran and James Renwick to create a highly ornamented building in the centre
of federal Washington that would encourage "American genius" and demonstrate that American
art could rival that of Europe.
The Renwick Gallery building has survived wartime expropriation, abuse and neglect, and
threatened demolition over its 160-year history. It has been subject to many changes and
challenges but has come full circle to serve its original purpose, "Dedicated to Art".
Contents: Foreword; Mr. Corcoran; Renwick and Corcoran
Design of the New Gallery; The War Begins; General Meigs; Reclaiming the Gallery; Opening the
Gallery; The Later Years

Bucholz McEvoy Architects:
Collaborative Practice

The Dublin-based pactice Bucholz McEvoy--run by Chicago-born architect Bucholz and his Irish
partner Karen McEvoy--came into prominence in 1996, when, in collaboration with BDP, they
won the competition for the Fingal County Hall in Swords, Dublin. After representing Ireland at
the Venice Biennale in 2006, the practice completed another important project in 2008: the Elm
park Green Urban Quarter, an upmarket development of over 100,000 m2 in Dublin, comprising
a private hospital, hotel, offices, apartments and housing for senior citizens, a creche and leisure
centre along with cafes. The design of Elm Park brought together the many strategies that
Bucholz McEvoy had been working with over time. The firm considered energy use, daylighting,
and structural performance, investigating how individual building components could be built and
installed. The building's microclimate, orientation and shape were also carefully studied to
maximise daylight and create natural ventilation and reduce energy footprints. The practice
works very closely with the users of their buildings to ensure that the energy outcomes are
achieved and that occupants develop a sense of ownership of the structure. The architects meet
with the tenants to discuss their work patterns and how the building works, these meetings
helped staff tune the building management system to meet the needs of the occupants and
maximize energy efficiency. Bucholz McEvoy applies this low energy ethos to all areas of their
design and research, from urban planning to furniture design. This, the first published survey of
the work of Bucholz McEvoy Architects, is intended not only as a retrospective monographic
document, but, like the ever-developing nature of BMA's practice, as a forward-thinking
discursive tool, created to inform new modes of nuanced architectural thought through
industry-wide conversation and confrontation.

Jefferson and Palladio:
Constructing a New World
Author:

Binding: Paperback

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), a cosmopolitan figure with rural roots, was a master of the
knowledge of his time. He drafted The Declaration of Independence (1776), and thus founded a
new view of the proper relation between governed and government. Jefferson was the architect
of the new America, not just in a political sense, but in a literal sense as well. Architecture had an
important place in his personal and public agenda. A self-taught architect, Jefferson buildings are
amongst America's most famous: Monticello, the Virginia State Capitol and the University of
Virginia are the starting points of American classical architecture.
Jefferson was guided by his admiration for Palladio's Four Books on Architecture, which provided
him with key architectural forms and ideas. Palladio showed him how the admired building types
of the ancient Romans could be adapted to modern purposes and provide a rational, harmonious
framework for living and for building a new society.
SELLING POINTS:
• The catalogue offers an opportunity to acquire a deeper understanding of Jefferson's
architecture and, at the same time, leads to a clearer understanding of Palladio himself
• Jefferson looked to Palladio because he was the architect of one of Europe's few republics, in
which administrative power was in the hands of landed gentlemen, who avoided the ostentation
of princely manners and spent long periods of time in the countryside

A New Nature

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 600
RRP: $135.00
9HSNANH*hieicc+
'A New Nature' is a book about architecture as the organization of material. It unfolds an idea of
working with architecture and urbanity as conditions rather than form. By experiencing cities and
cultural landscapes as states of change, the author investigates their degree of organisation
between order and chaos: "When we design and build buildings, naturally, we need to enter into
an already existing context. Even so, many houses simply stand alone side by side, rather than
identifying themselves with and becoming a part of the urbanity that connects and creates
cohesion in the culturally created – the new nature."
The first part of the book develops an architectural language that connects material and meaning
through nine states between liquid and solid, in order to achieve a qualified and sustainable
approach to understanding the modern city in its continuous transformation. The book's second
part documents a number of project proposals and realised works that illustrate the usage of this
architectural idiom. Including precise drawings and models, 'A New Nature' introduces a new kind
of spatial investigation.

Palazzi of Rome is a comprehensive photographic documentation of Roman villas and palaces. It
does not only present images of the grand houses of the popes and the nobles of the city, but
also set them in their historical framework. The brilliant photographs capture the atmosphere of
the buildings in their full grandeur and exquisiteness. They lead readers past magnificently
decorated façades and guide them through festively decorated halls and artfully arranged
gardens. The text makes clear just how closely the history of the famed dynasties - the
Borgheses, Farneses, Colonnas, Corsinis and other old families - is intertwined with their
ancestral seats, and how for centuries the higher Roman nobility designed their palaces in the
City of Cities as fitting reflections of their own glory. This competition for the most magnificent
residence led to the construction of many of the city’s most famous buildings, including the
palaces on the Capitol, the Palazzo Farnese, the Villa Borghese, the Quirinal and others, which
still today are among the unmistakable hallmarks of the incomparable city of Rome.
PHOTOGRAPHER:
Massimo Listri lives in Florence, where he works with renowned art journals. He has contributed
to numerous photographic volumes about Italy, other European countries, and other continents.
SELLING POINTS:

The building is designed to embody the dynamic character of a contemporary Student Union.
The complex geometries of the site provided a starting point for an unconventional arrangement
of irregular floor plates, each one particular to its function and each working into the next by an
intricate system of trapezoidal spatial configuration. Space flows freely in horizontal plan and
vertical section, with stairs gently twisting and slowly turning to create a variety of diagonal
break-out spaces at landings and crossings throughout the building." Saw Swee Hock provides an
overview of the Saw Swee Hock Students' Centre, the first new building constructed at the
London School of Economics (LSE) for over 40 years. It includes a reception, offices, bars, a
fitness centre and event and media facilities.
The book looks at the commissioning process on the part of LSE, through the appointment of
O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects--who were selected following a two-stage international design
competition in June 2009 -- to then focus on the way in which the architects have responded to
the complexities of the brief and in collaboration with the bespoke manufacturers involved;
particularly, the quality of the bricks, each of which is hand-formed, resulting in a facade that is
both striking and very unusual for central London. The commissioning of this type of building is
the manifestation of a larger and particularly interesting phenomenon that is happening on a
global scale: LSE, like a number of other academic institutions around the world, has put up an
aggressive programme of world class architecture as a way of competing with other schools to
attract students internationally. The book includes contributions by Julian Robinson of LSE
Estates, as well as interviews with the designers and manufacturers who were involved in the
process of the building's realisation.

How are changing conditions in society likely to affect Germany’s built environment? What are
the catalysts for transformation in its cities and regions? 'Speculation Transformation' is devoted
to the social and spatial transformations that Germany will face in the future, speculating on their
architectural consequences: What is it like to live in a city where the currency is watts instead of
euros? What would happen if Hamburg’s harbor were to be filled in as reclaimed land? Who is
living in the Maintropolis? What would be the spatial consequences if Germany were to measure
its economic strength based on the well-being of its citizens?
This publication combines different approaches to a future-oriented, interdisciplinary
interpretation of Germany as a human habitat, which help to open up new directions in the
design of cities and landscapes. An atlas of architectural culture with contributions by Thomas
Auer, Armen Avanessian, Stefan Bergheim, Matthjs Bouw, Armin Linke, Erik Swyngedouw, as
well as numerous interviews and memos. On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the

In 2008, Daniel Chavkin began photographing some of the more discreet and
off-the-beaten-path midcentury modern homes and buildings in the Palm Springs area. These
included secret gems created by such famous modernist architects as William Cody and John
Porter Clark, as well as others by relatively lesser-known designers. The result is this rich
photographic collection of largely unseen examples of desert modern architecture. Many of the
buildings shown herein are not easily accessible by, or in some cases completely off-limits to, the
general public, so the photographs in this book may be the only opportunity for midcentury
aficionados to ever see some of these buildings.
AUTHOR:
Daniel Chavkin is a photographer who lives and works in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. He
began his career shooting celebrity portraits, but his passion is for midcentury modern
architecture - and especially the desert modernism of Palm Springs. His love of modernism was

Armando Romero's paintings often juxtapose his re-painting of historical works by Old Masters
like Velazquez, Bosch, and Veronese with images from popular culture; consequently, the
adjective most commonly used to describe his work is 'irreverent.' This practice is typified in
series like Las Nuevas Tentaciones De San Antonio (2000) in which he re-paints and re-presents
Bosch's triptych The Temptations of St. Anthony (1501) but in addition to the fantastic imagery
typical of Bosch already in the original, Romero adds Tweety, Pokémon, various Looney Tunes
and Disney characters - Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, and Goofy superheroes including Superman, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four, the Jetsons, Topcat,
Penelope Pitstop, the Flintstones, Smurfs, the gang from Scooby-Doo and Jerry from Tom and
Jerry. At first glance, irreverent certainly seems like an appropriate description of such work but
further consideration of his historical source here - particularly because Romero frequently
returns to Bosch - suggests that we consider not only quite how irreverent describe the work of
an artist as irreverent in the 21st century.

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.

'Art of the Arctic: Reflections of the Unseen' is a remarkable and unique publication that
examines the history and artistic influence of Inuit masks and ivories. The first half of the book
illustrates and discusses 49 important and rare Inuit masks, collected over the last 40 years. The
relationship between these masks and the Surrealists are discussed in depth via essays by three
leading Surrealist scholars. The second half of the book, in a tumble format, illustrates the Wolf
Collection of ancient Inuit art from 200 BC to the eighteenth century.
Beautifully finished with silver cloth and a printed translucent dust jacket, the book is a physically
impressive body of work, with highly detailed illustrations of these historically significant art
works. These artworks are complemented by texts from Donald Ellis, whose editorial and
curatorial direction has enabled this handsome publication, and by Dawn Ades, Colin Browne and
Marie Mauze, who are all world leaders in the research of Surrealism, upon which these unique
works of art have had a profound, yet understated, influence.

This first instalment 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.

Collection of European Paintings at I Tatti surveys the 149 works assembled by the Berensons
for their home in Florence from the late 1890s through the first decades of the twentieth century
at the time that they were making their mark on the world as connoisseurs. The catalogue
presents a privileged window on the Berensons' intellectual interests through the objects they
owned. The entries, written by an international team of art historians, take full advantage of the
extensive correspondence from the Berensons' friends, family, and colleagues at I Tatti as well
as the couple's diaries and notations on the backs of their vast gathering of photographs. All the
entries are lavishly illustrated with full scholarly and technical accountings of the objects. There
are also 17 illustrated reconstructions of the original contexts of panel paintings. The catalogue
includes essays on the progress of the Berensons' collecting, their love for Siena, the Sienese
forger Icilio Federico Joni, the critic Roger Fry, and Rene Piot's murals at I Tatti, as well as a
listing of 94 pictures that were once at I Tatti including donations made to museums in Europe
and America.

Human forms can be intensely intimate or broadly universal. Here, figurative artists use the
human form as a tool to express varied content and contemporary issues. These paintings depict
our feelings and sentiments, our sense of belonging to a larger community in the contemporary
world, while capturing the impulses behind the range of figuration presented by today's
contemporary international artists. Portraitist Marlene Dumas presents figures in a gritty,
unsentimental manner, evoking the essence of the human condition, while Kerry James Marshall
paints the life of African-Americans in the twentieth-century, employing recent historical review
to document the social challenges. British artist Jenny Saville paints the figure in massive scale,
combined with an overt, never-ending interest in the pure rendering of human flesh. Hope
Gangloff paints her figures as characters, intimate friends, and acquaintances, narrating a drama
from their canvases. An important resource for those interested in contemporary figurative
painting.

This fully illustrated monograph is devoted to the full range of Carolee Schneemann's pioneering
work.
Unapologetically incorporating her body into her works of art, Carolee Schneemann emerged as
one of the leading forces in the feminist art movement of the 1970s. This wide-ranging book
follows Schneemann's remarkable career in its entirety. The monograph shows the immense
range of Schneemann's oeuvre: paintings, assemblages, performances, experimental films and
video installations. Including the controversial works for which she is most famous, such as Eye
Body, Meat Joy, and Interior Scroll, this volume takes a critical look at various themes in the
artist's career, focusing particularly on what the artist termed "kinetic painting." Essays on
Schneemann's personal politics, her experimental film and the purposeful ambiguities of her
pieces offer clear-eyed perspectives on the brilliance of her work. Illustrations of her work are
accompanied by Schneemann's own commentary. Schneemann's work emerges as a
celebratory, liberating and important aspect of creative expression that stands in its own
right—and stands the test of time.

Known worldwide for his architecture and interior designs, Charles Rennie Mackintosh
(1868-1928) was also an extremely gifted painter. Towards the end of his life he gave up his
principal career as an architect and moved to the south of France where he devoted himself to
painting in watercolour. Meticulously executed and brilliantly coloured, these landscape
watercolours are conceived with a sense of design and an eye for pattern in nature, which owes
much to his brilliance as an architect and designer. This book charts Mackintosh's time in France
and explores his career as a landscape painter, placing his work in the context of the modern
movement. The forty-four paintings Mackintosh is known to have completed while in France are
illustrated, and are supported by documentary photographs of the places he painted as well as
extracts from his letters written to his wife and friends.

• Features works by some of the 20th-century's leading artists, including Georgia O'Keeffe,
Alexander Calder, David Hockney, Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, Jackson Pollock and
Roy Lichtenstein
Combining outstanding artworks and engaging text, this striking book captures many of the
defining moments of modernism. It features over 80 innovative paintings and sculptures by key
artists of the 20th-century—all from the outstanding collection of Sam Rose and Julie Walters.
Picasso, Miró, O'Keeffe, Pollock, and Warhol created art that defined cubism, surrealism,
American modernism, abstract expressionism, and pop. The crosscurrents and intersections that
give modernism its complexity and energy are further revealed in works by artists as diverse as
Neel, Bearden, Lichtenstein, Stella, Hockney, and Diebenkorn.
Why and how 20th-century artists broke the rules and transformed the look of art is the subject
of Virginia Mecklenburg's introductory essay. Each work is then superbly illustrated and discussed
through such themes as portraiture, nature, metaphor, and social engagement. All of the
paintings and sculptures are clearly positioned within the context of the artist's career. These
insightful explorations of the works of 33 inventive artists illuminate the wider arc of modernism.

Charles François Daubigny (1817-1878) was one of the most important French landscape painters
of the nineteenth century. This book reassesses his work and examines his importance for the
Impressionists, as well as Van Gogh. Daubigny helped to shape Impressionism through his
working practice: routinely painting outdoors, often from his studio boat; exploring new subjects
and unexpected viewpoints; and developing a radically 'unfinished' style and a brighter palette.
He supported the Impressionists at the Paris Salons and introduced both Monet and Pissarro to
the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. He moved towards a more subjective interpretation of nature in
his later sunsets and nocturnes, inspiring not only Monet, but Vincent van Gogh, who spent the
last two months of his life close to Daubigny's home and studio at Auvers-sur-Oise. These
themes and others are explored through a series of essays that examine his interactions with the
young Impressionists, the market response to his paintings, the evolution of his highly original
technical processes and his role as the leader of an artists' colony.

Now available in a new edition, this lavishly illustrated book captures the grand scale and vibrant
colour of David Hockney's work of the 21st century.
In the past decade, having returned to England after years on the California coast, David
Hockney has focused his attention on both landscapes and portraits, as well as still lifes, all the
while maintaining his fascination with digital technology. The resulting work is an extravagance of
colour and light, ranging in dimension from billboard- to letter-size. This lush and impeccably
produced catalogue features more than 200 full-colour works of art from museum collections and
Hockney's private studio, including such major new works as The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate
and Bigger Yosemite. It also includes multiple-image galleries (spread over gatefolds) of some of
his iPad drawings and self-portraits, plus film stills from the artist's "Cubist" movies. Hockney'
own insight into this latest chapter of his career is found in an illuminating essay on perspective
and is accompanied by thoughtful commentaries by renowned critic Lawrence Weschler and art
historian Sarah Howgate.

'DESTINATION SYDNEY' - nine artists, three galleries, one amazing summer show! A unique
multi-venue event that explores the spirit of Sydney through the paintings of nine iconic
Australian artists.
The city of Sydney has long been a point of focus and convergence for many artists born in
other parts of Australia. The beauty of the city's bush harbour foreshores, the quality of light and
palpable sense of energy and movement within the city has provided many artists an ongoing
inspiration and a wealth of rich source materials from which to draw.
In this unique collaboration, three major Sydney independent public galleries, Manly Art Gallery,
Mosman Art Gallery and the National Trust's S. H. Ervin Gallery, have worked together in
partnership with celebrated curator Lou Klepac OAM to present the work of nine iconic Australian
artists for one major exhibition in Sydney this summer. Destination Sydney is the first exhibition
of its kind to truly capture the spirit of Sydney and to celebrate the important influence Sydney
has had on some of Australia's greatest painters.
'Destination Sydney' the book, is an extensive catalogue published by The Beagle Press
illustrates key works in the exhibition and features essays on each of the artists exhibited.

Roman emperors, Arab scholars, and early travellers were already drawn to and enchanted by
the fascination of the land along the Nile. The pyramids of Giza, the temple-city of Karnak, or
the Valley of the Kings with the grave of Tutankhamen even today maintain their extraordinary
force of attraction. Across the centuries the high culture of the ancient Egyptians has retained its
allure. This can certainly be attributed to their astounding architectural,artistic, and technological
achievements as well as their high level of writing and literature. The unified world view of old
Egypt, in which science and religion are an indissoluble unity, impresses us deeply, as well.
SELLING POINTS:
• An extensive glossary with more than 220 entries
• Directory of the most important collections of Egyptian art throughout the world

From beehive to hotplate to the artist's hand, encaustic has evolved as a versatile medium
applied to almost every artistic style. A long-overdue look at a newly popular art form, this book
explores 79 North American and international artists' feelings about their work in encaustic and
how they use it to express their inner worlds and the world around them. Eight chapters organize
the artists by geographical region and focus on how the heated beeswax and resin material is
used to create seductive, skin-like surfaces and rich, layered membranes. More than 2,000 years
old, this cross-disciplinary medium ranges from painting to sculpture, assemblage, collage, and
printmaking and encourages risk-taking in a way that other materials do not. Its inherent
contradictions--it can be hot or cold, malleable or solid, opaque or translucent, layered or thin,
permanent or fragile--make it all the more fascinating.

Hiroshi Harada:

Over 40 years ago Japanese painter Hiroshi Harada swapped his homeland for Paris, in search of
a new artistic creative language and structure. Even though the rectangular doesn't exist in
nature, it has always been Harada's ultimate ambition to express all facets of his private world
within this well-defined shape. Therefore, his works cannot be seen as abstract in the strictest
sense of the word. Harada stayed true to the monochrome, until one given day a burst of colour
appeared in his black and white world; the sparkling yellow is typical in many of his works. The
new vibrant colour palette confirmed that Harada has essentially always been looking for a way
to give expression to his inner happiness, spirituality and joie de vivre. The artwork of Hiroshi
Harada cannot possibly be captured in a single category. He is modern, not only in his way of
painting, but also in the way he touches and overwhelms us with the exuberant colours from his
inner repertoire, with lines and surfaces that intersect or not. Each of his paintings is an invitation
to contemplation. In all, he stays true to his Eastern roots and the idea that beauty can be found
in imperfection.

• A timely new publication which charts the full range of Paul Feeley’s influential life and career
Paul Feeley (1910–1966) is a towering figure in postwar American modernism. His legendary
tenure as head of the art department at Bennington College and resulting associations with the
likes of Lawrence Alloway, Helen Frankenthaler, Clement Greenberg, Jackson Pollock and David
Smith, informed his unique approach to painting as an open-ended proposition. Represented
during his lifetime by the Betty Parsons Gallery and honoured posthumously by a retrospective
at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, he is the subject of this timely new publication, which
accompanies a major exhibition organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
In addition to colour plates of all works in the exhibition—nearly one hundred paintings, works on
paper and sculptures—this volume features essays by exhibition curator Douglas Dreishpoon,
Tyler Cann and Raphael Rubinstein as well as an illustrated chronology by Cary Cordova. From
his early Abstract Expressionist–inspired paintings to his organic, anthropomorphic figure–ground
compositions and later diagrammatical, hard-edged works, Imperfections by Chance charts the
full range of Feeley's influential life and career.

Remember radicalism? A time when the Toronto art scene was in formation—and destruction?
The period saw artists receive national and provincial funding to open their own galleries and
show their work, but with this new privilege came fiery political controversies. Beyond the art
politics, art itself was politicised in its contents and context. Art's political dimension was
continually polemically posed—or postured—by artists in these years.
It was also a period rich in invention of new forms of art. Punk, semiotics, and fashion were
equally influential, not to mention transgressive sexuality. It was the beginning of the
photo-blow-up allied to the deconstructed languages of advertising. Video and performance
aligned in simulations of television production as the 'underground' mimicked the models of the
mainstream for its own satiric, critical purposes. With no dominant art form and the influence of
New York in decline, there were no models and anything was possible: even the invention of the
idea of an art community as a fictional creation.
'Is Toronto Burning?' has a remarkable ability to mesh the grotesque with the humorous. Get
radicalised!

• This publication documents an exhibition made up of more than seventy sculptures by this
artist at the Old School of San Ildefonso in 2015
"Javier Marin's sculptures are the result of different time periods being melded together. Upon
viewing their monumental volumes, it is not easy to decide whether they are an updated version
of sculpture from classical antiquity or a return to modern sculpture from the nineteenth
century." Jose Manuel Springer
This book is a review of two decades in the career of eminent sculptor Javier Marin, providing
readers and viewers with an exceptional opportunity to analyse the variety of his work, including
pieces that bear witness to his technical mastery and the aesthetic qualities and creativity that
distinguish his sculptural works (different sizes in bronze, polyester resin and mixtures with
different organic materials such as dried meat, amaranth grain, etc.).
With its very high-quality images, this edition gives readers the chance to experience each of the
textures in his works, which re-interpret and show a different dimension of the aesthetics of
human anatomy, as a way of revealing many details, faces, busts, figures and fragments
therein.

Lumiere on the Lady with the Ermine:
Unprededented Discoveries

• Using new technology, this book examines Da Vinci's painting technique and reveals hidden
layers within his works
This book on The Lady with an Ermine is the first to examine in depth the painting technique of
Leonardo da Vinci and reveals the secrets of the creation of his paintings. One key to this work is
the unprecedented discovery of a true small ermine hidden beneath the visible animal that we
see today. We also discover that the first intention of the Master was to paint a classic portrait without an animal. Probably at the instigation of the Duke of Milan, Leonardo may have altered
its composition and later added an ermine then, unsatisfied, transformed it again. Is it not
strange then that in 1493 the first poem that describes this portrait does not mention the ermine,
as this is an important element of the painting.
Thanks to a revolutionary new technique, Pascal Cotte is able to analyse, layer by layer, all the
superpositions of the brushstrokes. It is thus possible to reconstruct the whole story; from plank
of wood, through all superimposed layers to the final appearance. Everything is analysed
rigorously and methodically. The book also reveals important details about the construction of
the painting, the wanderings of the painter, his hesitations, his errors and changes. All these
findings were not previously visible using the traditional equipment of laboratories of museums.
The author uses a new scientific method of analysis of pictorial works he invented and named
L.A.M. for Layer Amplification Method.
AUTHOR:
Pascal Cotte is an optical engineer specialising in photography and image signal analysis. He is
the inventor of the L.A.M. scientific imagery technique and the first high-definition multispectral
camera, which he has used to digitise several works by Leonardo da Vinci: the Louvre's Mona
Lisa, in October 2004; The Lady with an Ermine in Cracov, in September 2007; La Bella
Principessa in 2008; and La Belle Ferronnière in 2011. All told, Cotte has digitised over 2,000
works in public and private collections, and authored several studies scientific about famous
paintings. Since 2007 Cotte's exhibition The Secrets of Mona Lisa, produced by Australia's Grande
Exhibitions, has been seen by over 8 million visitors on all five continents.

• The focus of a major BBC documentary to be broadcast in December 2015
• Groundbreaking and important new discoveries concerning the Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa is one of mankind's great mysteries. With over 9.7 million admirers per year, it is
the most legendary painting of all time. No other work has provoked such a desire to know its
secrets. Now, after a decade of research, Pascal Cotte has pioneered an extraordinary scientific
imagery technique (L.A.M.) that takes us into the heart of the paint-layers of the world's most
famous picture and reveals secrets that have remained hidden for 500 years.
This book takes us on a remarkable journey that reveals stage by stage, layer by layer, his
remarkable findings. It demonstrates definitively, for the first time, answers to the mysteries
that have eluded us for centuries. Who was the lady in the picture? Did Leonardo paint another
version? What really lies behind that iconic face? And how did Leonardo achieve that beguiling
and seductive smile?
There are over 150 brand new discoveries about the painting. A landmark event in the world of
art, this book shatters many myths and alters our vision of Leonardo's masterpiece forever.
Pascal Cotte's findings are the subject of a major BBC documentary and will be announced to the
world in December.

'MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture' addresses the development of detournement and
deconstruction in art, architecture, music and society. Each chapter is a detailed, inclusive look at
a cross-section of the main artists and thinkers that have embraced and developed all forms of
'mash up' culture, since its inception in the nineteenth century as early experiments of Braque
and Picasso.
'MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture' finds parallels between the works of luminaries such as
Jean-Luc Godard, Joseph Cornell, Elizabeth Price, Joyce Wieland and Jeff Wall. The book traces
the lasting impact of such seemingly disparate cultural phenomena as voguing, hacking and the
use of audio and film, and their further reappropriation as a kind of a globally available, open
source language, and in developments in art that deal with the mass proliferation and
dissemination of images and knowledge brought on by digital technologies.
'MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture' situates the work of Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton and
Guy Debord alongside the likes of Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau, Superstudio, Brian Eno and
Cory Arcangel, and more generally within a culture where the new is necessarily remade and
remodelled, and quotation and reappropriation are an integral part of the way we talk about it.
SELLING POINTS:
• 'MashUp' is a definitive, visually rich exploration of the development of multiple perspectives,
montages and readymades.
• The book traces 'mash up' culture from its beginnings with the work of Marcel Duchamp, Kurt
Schwitters and Hannah Hoch, to the present—with its postmodern network culture, where
remixing and co-production are the norm.
• 'MashUp' situates the work of Richard Hamilton, Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, and Guy
Debord alongside the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Joseph Cornell, Elizabeth
• Price and Jeff Wall in the wider context of more recent cultural phenomena such as voguing,
hacking, vidding, hip hop, dub, and sampling.

Over his forty-year career, artist McArthur Binion has developed a unique visual language
through the fusion of Minimalism and personal narratives. This monograph, Binion s first, is
produced in conjunction with the artist s inaugural solo show at a New York gallery and on the
occasion of his exhibition Re: Mine at Galerie Lelong. Included in this catalogue are full-colour
reproductions of works in the exhibition, as well as an interview with the artist by Franklin
Sirmans, Terri and Michael Smooke Department Head and Curator of Contemporary Art at the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and an essay by Lowery Stokes Sims, Curator Emerita at
the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. Influenced equally by music, storytelling, and
individual history, McArthur Binion has described his approach to painting from the position of a
rural Modernist and one through which he bridges the lyricism of colour with a Black rural
sensibility . Binion s paintings, predominantly composed of oil paint stick and paper on board,
form the nexus of place and history, from Binion s childhood in the South to his time in New York
in the early 1970s and his current home of Chicago. In the exhibition, and as seen in the
catalogue, are Binion s recent DNA paintings, which incorporate birth certificates and phone
books as personal effects employed as autobiographical, collaged elements. Born in 1946 in
Macon, Mississippi, Binion became the first African American to graduate from the Cranbrook
Academy of Art with a Master of Fine Arts. In 2012, the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston,
Texas, hosted a solo show of Binion's work, and he has participated in numerous group
exhibitions including Prospect.3 in 2014. Binion's work is included in multiple museum collections
including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Binion has taught as a professor of art at Columbia
College in Chicago since 1992.

Examining Edvard Munch’s influence on his Austrian and German contemporaries, this book
offers a fascinating new look at the Norwegian artist, whose painting The Scream has become a
symbol of modern angst.
Edvard Munch came of age during an artistic period that celebrated beauty and design. But in his
own art, Munch explored darker themes—alienation, sin and human vulnerability. His resulting
work incorporated the vivid colours of previous styles, but intensified their emotional power and
paved the way for an entirely new approach to painting. Although much has been written about
Munch’s life and its influence on his art, there has not been a study of the artist’s influence on his
German and Austrian peers— until now. Featuring contributions by leading scholars in the field,
including Patricia Bermann, Alison Chang, Jay Clarke, Reinhold Heller, Jill Lloyd, Nils Ohlsen and
Oystein Uvstedt, this authoritative and beautifully illustrated book explores Munch's impact on
Austrian and German artists of the period within an Expressionist context. It also examines work
in specific media, such as Munch’s seminal contributions to printmaking. The artist’s thematic and
stylistic leitmotifs are highlighted, including self-portraiture, urban scenes, landscapes, couples
and the artist and his model. Vibrant reproductions of works from throughout Munch’s oeuvre,
including such icons as The Scream, Madonna and The Kiss, make this a splendid introduction to
the artist as well as an exciting springboard to the study of European Expressionism.

Parmigianino (1503-1540) was among the leading artists of Mannerism, the style that
characterised the later years of the Italian High Renaissance and spread throughout Europe, and
is known for the exquisite grace and refinement of his art. Heir to Raphael and Correggio he is
considered one of the most accomplished draughtsmen of all times. The Louvre has the largest
collection of his drawings and the catalogue traces his development as an artist through the
analysis of over 60 magnificent drawings.
Parmigianino was extremely precocious, and after having absorbed the innovations coming from
different artistic centres of Northern Italy (Venice, Ferrara, Cremona, Parma), at only 19 years
of age he went to Rome and was presented to the Pope. After the sack of Rome, he moved to
Bologna and then returned to his hometown, Parma. Never satisfied with the results attained, he
drew and sketched continuously, leaving us an exceptional legacy.

Paying tribute to an artistic partnership of more than 30 years, this richly illustrated book
explores Peter Fischli and David Weiss's
acclaimed and influential body of work, known for its sly humour and profound meditations on
the everyday.
Throughout the course of their collaboration, Peter Fischli and David Weiss celebrated the sheer
triviality of everyday existence, observing the world with bemused detachment. As this book
shows, their often humorous work offers a sustained reflection on the intertwined strands of
leisure, productivity, and playful absurdity that shape our lives. With its deliberately mundane
subject matter and quotidian source material, their work explores the poetics of banality in a
wide range of mediums, including photography, videos, slide projections, films, books, sculptures
and multimedia installations. This retrospective volume features an in-depth, illustrated survey of
the artists' long history of collaboration, from the early Sausage Series (1979)—staged vignettes
created in miniature using deli meats and various household items—to their last work, the
large-scale public installation Rock on Top of Another Rock (2010–13), augmented by archival
images, notes on process, and interview excerpts culled from the artists' Zurich-based archives.
A series of probing essays on their practice and thematic concerns rounds out this definitive
account of Fischli and Weiss's vital contribution to contemporary art.

This lavishly illustrated volume examines the genius of Pierre Bonnard, whose utopian vision
bridged both Impressionism and modernism.
Pierre Bonnard is often considered a painter of idyllic scenes, replete with colour and serenity,
however, this view overlooks many of the most striking aspects of Bonnard's oeuvre. Over the
course of his career, Bonnard worked within—often expanding and challenging—many genres
and techniques. Alternating between the traditions of Impressionism and the abstract visual
modes of modernism, Bonnard addressed elements present within many movements in order to
synthesize a world worthy of his utopian vision. As this exquisitely produced volume reveals,
Bonnard's work evolved radically over the course of his career. Included in its pages are
illustrations of well-known examples alongside rarely exhibited pieces, which represent the many
thematic and stylistic compositions of Bonnard's work. The book features the murals and
tapestries he created with the Nabis; his lush interiors and depictions of his wife, Marthe; his
extraordinary use of rich colour, brush strokes and perspective; and his contemplative portraits.
Interwoven throughout these dazzling reproductions are illuminating texts by acclaimed critics
who draw on the latest research to present a multi-dimensional account of the artist. Readers of
this gorgeous, authoritative book can look forward to a visual and intellectual treat in which
Bonnard's status is elevated from a forerunner of modernism to one of the greatest painters of
the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Pre-Raphaelites, earlier known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, were a society of English
artists with an incredible wealth of talent. Their name was a reference to their rejection of the
Renaissance master Raphael and the immensely popular classical, elegant poses that had come
to be fashionable. Instead, they included abundant colour and detail in their works, leading their
movement to become an integral and controversial part of art history, which is explored in this
beautifully illustrated new book.

The first comprehensive monograph of the acclaimed Austrian artist Renate Bertlmann presents
a sweeping survey of her oeuvre.
The artist Renate Bertlmann, who lives and works in Vienna, is a preeminent representative of
the Feminist Avant-Garde. This book presents 250 illustrations that unfold a panorama of a
creative output spanning over five decades. The artist's inspiration for her work is amo ergo sum
(I love therefore I am). Five international writers discuss the themes of “Pornography,” “Irony,”
and “Utopia” in Bertlmann's oeuvre. In her work, she deftly arranges clashes between opposites:
sexual pleasure and asceticism, female and male, soft and hard, attraction and repulsion.
Ambivalent feelings between tenderness and aggression come to the fore, fuelling Bertlmann's
subversive politics. An in-depth interview, a filmography and a chronological list of her
performances round out this book compiled by SAMMLUNG VERBUND Collection in Vienna, an
outstanding art collection focused on the Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s. Berthold Ecker
sketches the evolution of the motif of the bride; Jessica Morgan interprets Renate Bertlmann's
work in light of Freudian psychoanalysis; an interview by Gabriele Schor addresses the affinities
between performance art and staged photography; Abigail Solomon- Godeau situates
Bertlmann's work in the history of feminism; and Katharina Sykora explores the subject of skin
and its capacity for separation as well as connection.

Pigeon languages our cities. When a speckled grey pigeon is trapped by artists and spray-painted
in a miniature car wash, and released as an ultramarine green pigeon streaking through a public
space, what happens to the "flying rat"? How do we really know we have seen what we think we
have seen? How is our perception always trapped and released?
'Some Pigeons Are More Equal than Others' began as an artwork by Julius von Bismarck and
Julian Charriere and is now a book which treats the on-going art work as a breeding ground for
more wild zones of contact with poets, philosophers, historians, architects, and other species. It is
a poetry and prose anthology featuring creative writing made in dialogue with individual painted
pigeons; a theoretical and critical space designed by philosophers and historians of science
redefining our relationship to the world and history in a non-human-centred way; an urban
manifesto evolving ideas on the role of public domains and the encounter with contemporary art
today.

University of the Arts Berlin as Meisterschuler under the professorship of Olafur Eliasson and
currently work and live in Berlin. Eric Ellingsen is an architect, landscape architect, and

spatial experimentation. He currently teaches at The Art Institute, Chicago.

This exhilarating overview of the acclaimed artist Vik Muniz traces the development of his work
from the very beginning of his career to his most recent astonishing large-scale works.
Vik Muniz is celebrated for his joyful, quirky, dark and occasionally mind-boggling work that riffs
on popular photographic imagery, referencing social icons and cultural realities and juxtaposing
these themes in fascinating ways. This book features an extraordinary selection of works that
span Muniz's entire career—more than 150 colour illustrations display the enormous range of
Muniz's work and the disorienting and expansive logic of his world. International icon Elizabeth
Taylor is portrayed with diamonds with as much reverence as Brazilian landfill workers whose
portraits are created from the trash they collect. The Mona Lisa is recreated in peanut butter and
jelly. Artist Jackson Pollock is depicted in his studio in a work made entirely out of chocolate
syrup. Throughout, Muniz's irreverent and thought-provoking approach to his subjects reveals
the shaky underpinnings of universally accepted "truths."

Wonder celebrates the reopening of the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery following a major
renovation. Nine major contemporary artists, including Maya Lin, Tara Donovan, Leo Villareal,
Patrick Dougherty, and Janet Echelman, were invited to take over the Renwick's galleries,
transforming the whole of the museum into an immersive cabinet of wonders. Mundane
materials such as index cards, marbles, sticks, and thread are conjured into strange new worlds
that demonstrate the qualities uniting these artists: sensitivity to site, a passion for making and
materiality, and a desire to provoke awe.
A wide-ranging essay by Nicholas R. Bell connects these artworks to wonder's role throughout
Western culture, to the question of how museums have evolved as places to encounter wondrous
things, and to the symbolic weight of the moment as this building is "dedicated to art" for the
third instance in three centuries. "It is of no small consequence," writes Bell, "that we, as a
public, commit to the perpetuation of spaces that harbour the potential for subjective and
intensive encounters with art."

Capability Brown was a man made for his time. English society in the 18th century was rich,
sophisticated and eager for change. It was a golden age of architecture, and Brown perfected
the concept of the landscaped park as an ideal setting for them.
Nicknamed "Capability" because of his uncanny knack of assessing "the capabilities of nature",
the largely self-taught Brown enhanced the natural landscape with panache and energy, to
create an Arcadian world that captivated the fastidious, aristocratic clientele clamoring for his
services.
During his lifetime he had no rivals, few imitators and only a handful of critics; and today,
visitors to the nation's stately homes standing amid the splendor of a capability brown
landscaped park continue to marvel at his genius.
FOREWORD BY:
Roger Turner is an architect and award-winning landscape designer. His books include 'Better
Garden Design', the first horticultural monograph ever written on the subject, and 'Capability
Brown and the Eighteenth-Century English Landscape'.

With an Introduction by J.H. Stape, St Mary’s University College, Strawberry Hill.
Written in 1930, 'Bernard Shaw: An Unauthorised Biography '(1930) appeared shortly after Frank
Harris’s death. Shaw read the revised proofs, also making a few corrections and adding a short
postscript. With the help of an American journalist and an anarchist of European reputation,
Harris managed to finish his last completed work. Like much of his biographical writing, this work
offers an impressionistic and unconventional portrait of a man of genius – or, rather, of qualified
genius (as Harris sees Shaw) – and a man of talent, Harris himself. Eschewing conventional
chronology, although Harris begins with Shaw’s family background and ends with a chapter on
the future, this kaleidoscopic attempt to pin Shaw down succeeds mainly by indirection, in its
casual insights and off-the-cuff observations. A portrait with Shaw’s warts unflinchingly in place, it
is only partly an assessment of a social critic and playwright, with Harris on the loose, seeking to
get his word out, one last time, on dramatic censorship, the First World War or on sex and
religion.

"Everyone who cares much for the largest-brained Englishwoman who has written will read this
biography with interest. For popular purposes, the book is indeed all that can be desired" - Eric
Robertson, The Academy (1883)
"No greater writing woman than Miss Blind has passed away since the death of George Eliot…In
certain important points she was superior to George Eliot" -Theodore Watts-Duncan, The
Athenaeum (1896)
The dinner was an extremely pleasant one, but when it was over, the guest could not help
expressing his regret that George Eliot himself should not have been present. "Here he is," said
Lewes, introducing the quiet, low-spoken lady who had presided at table…
With all her mental activity she yet led an intensely emotional life, a life which must have held
hidden trials for her, as in those days she was known by her friends "to weep bucketfuls of
tears"…
This is the first full-length biography of George Eliot, published just three years after her death,
by a freethinking German-Jewish émigré and proto-feminist: the first to tackle the Lewes
relationship, the marriage to John Cross, and the break with religious orthodoxy. It firmly
established Eliot as the deeply autobiographical novelist we now know her to be.

Divorced wife, infamous mistress, prisoner in France during the French Revolution and the
reputed mother of the Prince of Wales' child, notorious eighteenth-century courtesan Grace
Dalrymple Elliott lived an amazing life in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century London and
Paris. Strikingly tall and beautiful, later lampooned as 'Dally the Tall' in Parisian gossip columns,
she left her Scottish roots and convent education behind, to re-invent herself in a 'marriage
a-la-mode', but before she was even legally an adult she was cast off and forced to survive on
just her beauty and wits.
The authors of this engaging and, at times, scandalous book intersperse the story of Grace's
tumultuous life with anecdotes of her fascinating family, from those who knew Thomas Jefferson
and George Washington, and who helped to abolish slavery, to those who were, like Grace,
mistresses of great men. Whilst this book is the most definitive biography of Grace Dalrymple
Elliott ever written, it is much more than that; it is Grace's family history that traces her
ancestors from their origin in the Scottish borders, to their move south to London. It follows
them to France, America, India, Africa and elsewhere, offering a broad insight into the social
history of the Georgian era, comprising the ups and downs, the highs and lows of life at that
time. This is the remarkable and detailed story of Grace, set for the first time, in the context of
her wider family and told more completely than ever before.
AUTHOR:
Sarah Murden and Joanne Major are joint authors of this compelling biography, brought together
through their shared passion for history and genealogy, having met online via a genealogy
forum. Living many hundreds of miles apart from each other, lengthy telephone conversations to
discuss 'long dead folk' became very much the norm to them, and it was during one of these
telephone conversations that they stumbled, accidentally and unintentionally, into the path of this
eighteenth-century courtesan. For more information visit www.georgianera.wordpress.com.

With an Introduction by J. H. Stape, St. Mary’s University College, Strawberry Hill.
Written in 1910 and first privately published in New York in 1916, Frank Harris’s Oscar Wilde: His
Life and Confessions gained almost instant notoriety. Attacked by critics for its extravagant
inventions, vigorously defended by George Bernard Shaw and hauled into court for libel by
Wilde’s friend and lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, Harris’s biography was published in England only in
1938. Famously inaccurate and lavishly self-serving, Harris’s study none the less offers a highly
evocative portrait of a compelling personality – or rather of two personalities, for Harris never
shies from enlarging upon his roles as Wilde’s defender, adviser, and sometime friend.
Impressionistic, vivid and well-paced, Harris’s intimate account of Wilde’s rise and fall will
fascinate anyone with an interest in a dramatist and poet whose tempestuous, and ultimately
tragic, life was his true major work. A serious contender, as one commentator put it, if there
were an Olympic gold for lying, Harris provides as near as one gets in biography to a
‘page-turner’.

The extraordinary life of Sir William Davenant, from death to birth, culminating with an answer
to the question: was he Shakespeare's natural son?
Sir William Davenant (1606-1668) – Poet Laureate and Civil War hero – is one of the most
influential and neglected figures in the history of British theatre. He introduced 'opera', actresses,
scenes and the proscenium arch to the English stage. Narrowly escaping execution for his
Royalist activities during the Civil War, he revived theatrical performances in London, right under
Oliver Cromwell's nose. Nobody, perhaps, did more to secure Shakespeare's reputation or to
preserve the memory of the Bard.
Davenant was known to boast over a glass of wine that he wrote 'with the very spirit' of
Shakespeare and was happy to be thought of as Shakespeare's son. By recounting the story of
his eventful life backwards, through his many trials and triumphs, this biography culminates with
a fresh examination of the vexed issue of Davenant's paternity.
Was Sir William's mother the voluptuous and maddening 'Dark Lady' of Shakespeare's Sonnets,
and was he Shakespeare's 'lovely boy'?

With an Introduction by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at
Canterbury
Originally published as a biography of Thomas Hardy by Florence, his widow, this 'Life' is now
known to have been essentially the work of Hardy himself. There has been much critical
discussion of its hybrid status, and of Hardy's motives for contriving what some have seen as a
deception.
This controversy has tended to obscure a much more important issue - the oddity, attractiveness
and diversity of the work in question. It does give an account of Hardy's life, from the very
moment of birth when he was 'thrown aside as dead' till rescued by the midwife. But more than

scientists and laypeople, and photographic documentation, Nancy Castaldo chronicles where our
food comes from, and more importantly, where it is going as she digs deeper into the
importance of seeds in our world. This empowering book also calls young adult readers to action

maps out of visitors' hands or sneaks into the alpaca pen for an afternoon grain snack. But he's
secretly afraid of some things, like the generator, the big green ball, and--horror of
horrors--having his hooves trimmed. Follow the zoo-yard adventures of this irascible goat and
find what goes on inside his head as he learns to overcome his fears.

This delightful introduction to the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci teaches young readers about
the painstaking but rewarding art of design and discovery.
George the sheep is happy living outside in his meadow except for one thing: when it rains, he
shrinks to the size of a mouse; when the sun comes out he grows enormous. Befuddled, his
owner Leon sets out to find a way to shelter George from the rain. A huge set of bat wings to
dry his fur? A wheeled chariot to keep out the wet? Finally he alights on the perfect solution—a
large umbrella. But when the wind plays havoc with this contraption Leon must put pencil to
paper once again to come up with a solution. Through careful measuring, sketching, and a truly
indefatigable spirit, Leon, like his fifteenth-century namesake, solves the kinds of problems that
have challenged inventors throughout history. Cleverly invoking the mechanical genius of
Leonardo da Vinci, this delightful children’s book explores the art of invention through illustrations
and an entertaining story.

RRP: $25.95
9HSLJMC*aibcjc+
When Aidan Jackson, known as "Jack", leaves his parents' farm to fight overseas in World War I,
he is excited by the promise of travel, adventure and new friends. Although Jack's bugle is
brought home from the war by his best friend, it lies idle for years and years. Will the bugle ever
be played again? 'Jack's Bugle' is a celebration of the music, optimism, mateship and the
ultimate peace that were part of "the war to end all wars". Set against the background of the
Gallipoli campaign of World War One, this picture book follows the journey of a bugle from an
Australian farming town, to the big city, to Egypt, to Gallipoli, back to the city and finally into the
hands of a boy from the country town where its adventure began.
A few years ago, after speaking at a literature festival in Alice Springs, Krista was told the story
of a bugle that had been bought in an Adelaide op shop by an Alice Springs local who then
discovered that the bugle had originally come from Alice Springs! The story of a bugle that
makes the return journey to and from a war began to simmer and Jack's Bugle was created.
The aim was to write a story for younger readers with a unique and gentler way into the history
of the Australian soldiers who took part in creating the legend of the ANZACS.
In 1914 Aidan Jackson, 'Jack' to his Army mates, is a young man who is proud to join up and
excited about the adventures that await him, especially as he is the first person from his farming
family to travel overseas. He takes with him the shiny new brass bugle given to him by his
family on his 18th birthday and it is the bugle's journey we follow until finally back in Australia
decades later, it is given to another young boy named Jackson.
AUTHOR:
Krista Bell has been a published author for 22 years, as well as a children's book reviewer on
ABC Radio and in print. Jack's Bugle is her 26th title for young readers and her 3rd with Windy

The Three Musicians:
A Children's Book

The kingdom of Mirador is terrified of a monstrous, fire-spewing beast that lurks just outside the
village walls. No one has actually seen the creature except for the king, whose constant
reminder of impending danger turns the village gloomy and joyless.
One spring day a troupe of musicians and their dog enters the gates. Suddenly there is fun and
romance, song and dance. The people are no longer afraid—until the loathsome beast does, in
fact, appear. What happens next will delight children and adults alike as the magic of art and
music transforms screams of terror into peals of laughter. Drawing on details of Pablo Picasso's
masterpiece Three Musicians, artist Vanessa Hie uses brightly hued watercolours, bold lines, and
graphic images to familiarize children with Picasso's style. The book closes with a reproduction of
Picasso's original painting and an engaging lesson on the artist's use of images and symbols, his
fascination with theatre and music, and his passionate pleas for peace in the wake of world war.

These simple tales embody truths so powerful, the titles of the individual fables - the fox and the
grapes, the dog in the manger, the wolf in sheep's clothing and many others - have entered the
languages and idioms of most European tongues. The highest standards in editing and production
have been applied to the Wordsworth Children's Classics, while the low price makes them
affordable for everyone. Wordsworth's list covers a range of the best-loved stories for children,
from nursery tales, classic fables, and fairy tales to stories that will appeal to older children and
adults alike. Many of these volumes have contemporary illustrations, and while they are ideal for
shared family reading, their attractive format will also encourage children to read for
themselves. Like all Wordsworth Editions, these children's books represent unbeatable value.
AUTHOR:
Aesop known only for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition a slave who was a
contemporary of Croesus and Peisistratus in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White

idiom. So too, are Carroll's delightful verses such as 'The Walrus and the Carpenter' and the

AUTHOR:
Charles Lutwidge (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by the pen name Lewis
Carroll was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican and photographer. His most

as well as the poems 'The Hunting of the Snark' and 'jabberwocky', all considered to be within
the genre of literary nonsense.
His facility at word play, logic, and fantasy has delighted audiences ranging from children to the

Heidi is the heart-warming tale of a small girl's power for good, and it has remained a firm
favourite since it was published over 100 years ago. It has been filmed and televised several
times.
It tells of the orphan Heidi and her idyllic existence with her gruff grandfather in the mountains.
When she is sent to live in a city, comic chaos ensues, and eventually it is arranged that Heidi
should return to the mountains. Together she and her friend Peter, the goat-herd, achieve
wondrous changes in the community in which they live.
AUTHOR:
In 1852, Johanna Heusser married Bernhard Spyri, a lawyer. While living in the city of Zurich she
began to write about life in the country. Her first book titled 'A Leaf on Vrony's Grave' was
published in 1871 and the following year further stories for both adults and children appeared,
among them the tale of Heidi that became an instant and enduring success.
Her husband and her only child, a son named Bernard, both died in 1884. Alone, she devoted
herself to charitable causes and wrote over fifty more stories before her death in 1901. She was
interred in the family plot at the Sihlfeld-A Cemetery in Zurich, Switzerland. An icon in
Switzerland, Johanna Spyri's portrait was placed on a postage stamp in 1951 and on a 20 CHF
commemorative coin in 2001.

'The Jungle Book' introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a family of wolves. It tells
of the enmity between him and the tiger Shere Khan, who killed Mowgli's parents, and of the
friendship between the man-cub and Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the sleepy brown
bear, who instructs Mowgli in the Laws of the Jungle.
'The Second Jungle Book' contains some of the most thrilling of the Mowgli stories. It includes
'Red Dog', in which Mowgli forms an unlikely alliance with the python Kaa, 'How Fear Came' and
'Letting in the Jungle' as well as 'The Spring Running', which brings Mowgli to manhood and the
realisation that he must leave Bagheera, Baloo and his other friends for the world of man.
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.

'Everyone in Greenall Bridge knew Sam Carraclough's Lassie. In fact, you might say that she was
the best-known dog in the village … because nearly every man in the village agreed she was the
finest collie he had ever laid eyes on.'
Sam's son Joe and Lassie are a devoted pair but a time comes when they have to be parted.
The Carracloughs are not well off and when they fall on hard times Sam is forced to sell his
champion dog to the Duke of Rudling, whose great estate borders their Yorkshire village.
But Lassie escapes and makes her way home to the Carracloughs. The Duke, not one to be
tricked by a dog, claims Lassie back and she is taken many miles away to the Duke's other
home in Scotland.
But again Lassie pines for her proper home and escapes. Undaunted by the challenge, she sets
off on the long trek back to her Yorkshire home. She faces many dangers and adventures along
the way but she also meets some kind people who offer her help and comfort. At the end, when
Joe has given up all hope of ever seeing his long-lost companion again, the weary Lassie returns
and he finds her waiting for him at the school gates in her accustomed spot, just like old times.
Lassie and Joe are joyfully reunited. Against all the odds, Lassie has come home!
AUTHOR:
Eric Oswald Mowbray Knight (1897 – 1943) was an English novelist and screenwriter, who is

'The Little Prince' is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the
story of an airman's discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet - the Little
Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a
thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.
First published in 1943, the year before the author's death in action, this translation contains
Saint-Exupery's delightful illustrations.
AUTHOR:
Antoine de Saint Exupery (June 29, 1900 – July 31, 1944) was a French writer and aviator. He is
most famous for his novella 'The Little Prince' and is also well known for his books about aviation
adventures, including 'Night Flight' and 'Wind, Sand and Stars'.

The story of the walking and talking puppet Pinocchio is one of the best-loved children’s tales of
all time.
Carved by old Gepetto, Pinocchio has an enormous nose which grows even longer whenever he
tells a lie. Pinocchio is such a scamp that he gets into all sorts of mischief. He runs away to join a
puppet show, he teams up with a rascally fox and wily cat, and plays truant from school which
has dreadful consequences. Eventually the conscience of a talking cricket and Pinocchio's
guardian fairy restore him to good behaviour, obedience and care for others.
AUTHOR:
Carlo Collodi was the pen name of Carlo Lorenzini (1826-1890) who dismissed his own work, 'The
Adventures of Pinocchio' as "childish twaddle", little suspecting that, after his death, it would
become one of the best-loved children's stories ever written.

How the Round Table Began
The Passing of Merlin
How Morgan le Fay Tried to Kill King Arthur

In the first book of Michael Buckley's Undertow trilogy, the Alpha arrived and the world was
never the same. At the start of the second book, most of south Brooklyn is in ruins and the
nation is terrified. Nearly everyone that Lyric Walker loves is either missing or presumed dead,
including the mesmerising prince Fathom. It’s up to Lyric to unite the Alpha before the second
wave of a cataclysmic invasion wipes out mankind for good.
The Undertow trilogy is an unforgettable reading experience that author E. Lockhart calls,
"Allegorical and romantic, the book nevertheless reads like an action movie with especially
awesome CGI."

16-year-old Lyric Walker’s life is turned upside down when she witnesses the arrival of 20,000
Triton, a five-nation race of ocean-dwelling warriors, on her beach in Coney Island. Confined to a
militarised ghetto of tents, the Tritons cause ugly changes in the town—xenophobia, violence,
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.

A revelatory account of poverty in America so deep that we, as a country, don't think it exists
Jessica Compton's family of four would have no cash income unless she donated plasma twice a
week at her local donation centre in Tennessee. Modonna Harris and her teenage daughter
Brianna in Chicago often have no food but spoiled milk on weekends. After two decades of
brilliant research on American poverty, Kathryn Edin noticed something she hadn't seen since the
mid-1990s -- households surviving on virtually no income. Edin teamed with Luke Shaefer, an
expert on calculating incomes of the poor, to discover that the number of American families
living on $2.00 per person, per day, has skyrocketed to 1.5 million American households,
including about 3 million children. Where do these families live? How did they get so desperately
poor? Edin has "turned sociology upside down" ("Mother Jones") with her procurement of rich -and truthful -- interviews. Through the book's many compelling profiles, moving and startling
answers emerge. The authors illuminate a troubling trend: a low-wage labour market that
increasingly fails to deliver a living wage, and a growing but hidden landscape of survival
strategies among America's extreme poor. More than a powerful expose, "$2.00 a Day "delivers
new evidence and new ideas to our national debate on income inequality.

Since its independence in 1991, Russia has struggled with the growing pains of defining its role in
international politics. After Vladimir Putin ascended to power in 2000, the country undertook
grandiose foreign policy projects in an attempt to delineate its place among the world's
superpowers. With this in mind, Robert Nalbandov examines the milestones of Russia's
international relations since the turn of the twenty-first century. He focuses on the specific goals,
engagement practices, and tools used by Putin's administration to promote Russia's vital national
and strategic interests in specific geographic locations. His findings illuminate Putin's foreign policy
objective of reinstituting Russian global strategic dominance. Nalbandov argues that
identity-based politics have dominated Putin's tenure and that Russia's east/west split is reflected
in Asian-European politics.
Nalbandov's analysis shows that unchecked domestic power, an almost exclusive application of
hard power, and determined ambition for unabridged global influence and a defined place as a
world superpower are the keys to Putin's Russia.

The Decorators of the 60s and 70s

The 1960s and 1970s marked a sharp turning point in the history of decoration and furniture.
Until that point, the world was confined to national and elitist forms of expression. At the
beginning of the 1960s, the sector took its inspiration from Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Italian
and French decoration. Genres were combined in a frenzied desire to live in symbiosis with one's
time. The progress of technology strengthened the conviction that the individual had unlimited
freedom and aroused the desire to inhabit in a new manner. Forms became rounder, furniture
was in sync with a warm, playful, and anticonformist universe. Colours and decorative motifs
took on the brilliance and fantasies of Pop Art and psychedelia. The living environment was
transformed into a waking dream in which luxurious furniture in original materials and surprising
objects were mixed, associated, for the first time, with early furniture. The end of the 1970s
marked the advent of a period in which beauty and classic elegance gave way to a host of
expressions that were unclassifiable and rejected any hierarchy. The postmodern period had
arrived. Composed of a long introduction that provides a synoptic view and 32 monographs that
describe its many faces, this book invites the reader to discover an exceptionally creative period
and revels in an abundant iconography.
Holding a doctorate in art history, Patrick Favardin has organised exhibitions for the city of Paris
on varied artistic, historical and literary subjects for many years.
Guy Bloch-Champfort has always taken an interest in the decorative arts and contemporary
creation. In 2002, he published Raphael, dercorateur at Editions de l'Amateur, a very successful
monograph that brought this important creator to the public's attention. Working with many
French and international magazines - Connaissance des arts, Maison française, AD, Casa Vogue for the plastic arts, decorative art, architecture, and design, from the start of the 20th century to
the present day, he is naturally interested in decoration in the 1960s and 1970s, which, as in no
other period, made contemporary creations and pieces from past centuries coexist.
• A panorama of the most innovative decorators of the 1960s and 1970s
• A mix of decors and of design pieces that will interest collectors as well as architects and
decorators - a brilliant perspective on the 1960s and '70s

Floral art as you have never seen it before. In Flora Mythica floral designer Marco Appelfeller
and photographer Hing Ang team up to create a floral universe beyond dreams. Stories from
Greek mythology, fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm and other classics

forests and dive down the rabbit hole to discover Marco's creative wonderland inhabited by
mythical and sometimes fearsome creatures. Marco Appelfeller's imagination is just as vivid and
colourful as his floral art. His impeccable designs, that seem to defy what we can imagine as
possible, are equalled by the book's magnificent photography. 'Flora Mythica' is a masterpiece
testifying of craftsmanship and creativity and has it all to become a classic, just like the age-old
fairy tales that inspired it.

Xavier Lust is certainly one of the most relevant characters on the contemporary design scene.
His distinct and essential approach to design, his ingenious and refined touch, and his ability to
synthesise clearly imply a special talent. The great John Keats wrote: "A thing of beauty is a joy
forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness". For Xavier Lust, dedication
to beauty is the answer to eternity and this forever is actually built everyday through constant
work, research and curiosity. Always focused on innovation and research, specifically tension and
induced motion, he likes to experiment, explore and discover the natural transformations of
materials. On the strength of his experience with metal, he confronts all kind of materials,
challenging himself too in the process. Xavier Lust pushes the boundaries of technical possibilities
while making a statement with each of his pieces and overriding preconceived ideas. Design
Stories aims to give a wide sense of Lust's work in the different fields of design from creation to
production to final destination.
Text in English and French.
AUTHOR:
Born in 1969, Xavier Lust studied interior design at Institut Saint-Luc before opening his own
Studio in Brussels. In 2000 Xavier Lust started to design for MDF Italia, an ongoing relationship
which was the start of his collaboration with leading international producers such as Driade, De
Padova, Cerruti Baleri, Fiam, Extremis. His work is clearly identifiable through the visible tension
he gives to his objects, and the curves inspired by his innovative (de)formation process of
metallic surfaces. He has received dozens of awards including Compasso d'Oro. His work has
appeared in over 50 exhibitions and is a regular feature in international design publications. He is
a regularly invited guest lecturer at leading art and design institutions around the world. "A
wonderful aspect of Xavier's work is the illusion of lightness and motion," writes the Russian critic
Olga Bozhko. "In his designs he manages to express what seems impossible. It's seems as
though his works are not created; they are born."

Kimono is a generic term for traditional Japanese clothing; it means "thing to wear." This revised
and expanded second edition provides an overview of various traditional garments, introduces
types of designs found in twentieth century kimono that are still available, and presents wearable
art and home decor inspired by kimono from contemporary artists. Because wearing kimono is
diminishing and kimono are disappearing from Japanese wardrobes, they will become
increasingly collectible. Each of the fourteen chapters opens with the definition of the type of
apparel covered including everyday, formal, etc., as well as their use in Japanese life. The terms
are further explained in the glossary. Over 525 colour photographs display brilliant and subtle
textile designs and demonstrate beauty in men's, women's, and children's garments and
accessories. Textile and clothing designers will find a wealth of inspiration here, as well as
vintage clothing enthusiasts and those who wish to wear kimono traditionally.

Lavishly illustrated spreads lay bare the anatomy of each show-stopping ensemble: silhouette,

McQueen, Vera Wang, and Vivienne Westwood, 'The Wedding Dress' examines the features of
each and every design in chronological sequence. Find out why Queen Victoria draped herself in
white lace, how Paul Poiret's knee-length dress ushered in the era of the flapper bride, why
Wallis Simpson wore blue on her wedding day, and how Elsa Schiaparelli reinvented the veil. Also
included are dresses worn by some of the world's most stylish women - Jacqueline Kennedy,
Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn - as well as contemporary fashion icons such as Gwen Stefani, Dita
Von Teese, and Kate Moss. Vivid photographs, detailed diagrams, and biographies of the

A Dutiful Son

RRP: $35.99

'A Dutiful Son' reads like a novel, a Bildungsroman charting the character's journey from pious
Catholic child to leading philosopher and writer on French culture.
The key figure in Pascal Bruckner's life is his father, a virulent anti- Semite, who voluntarily went
to work in Germany during the war, and a violent man who beats his wife. The young Bruckner
soon reacts against his father and his revenge is to become his polar opposite, even to the point
of being happy to be called a 'Jewish thinker', which he is not: 'My father helped me to think
better by thinking against him. I am his defeat.'
Despite this opposition, he remains in some way tied to his father to the very end. He has other
'fathers', men such as Sartre, Vladimir Jankelevitch and Roland Barthes who fostered his
philosophical development, and describes his friendship with his 'philosophical twin brother', Alain
Finkielkraut.
AUTHOR:
Pascal Bruckner is best known as a controversial philosopher. Three of his essays: The Tyranny
of Guilt, Perpetual Euphoria: On the duty to be Happy and Has Marriage for Love Failed? were
published to great acclaim in English translation in 2011-13. His fiction includes 'Lunes de fiel'
which was made into the film Bitter Moon by Roman Polanski and 'My Little Husband' published
by Dedalus in 2013.

'The Interpreter' follows on from New Finnish Grammar and The Last of the Vostyachs and forms
a trilogy of novels on the theme of language and identity. The Interpreter is both a quest and a
thriller, and at times a comic picaresque caper around Europe but also deals with the profound
issues of existence.
An interpreter at the UN in Geneva seems to be suffering from a mysterious illness when his
translations become unintelligible and resemble no known language. He insists he is not ill and
that he is on the verge of discovering the primordial language once spoken by all living
creatures. His predicament is soon forgotten when he disappears and things can return to
normal. The interpreter's boss starts to have problems in talking and seems to be speaking the
same gibberish as the missing interpreter. He seeks help in a Sanatorium in Munich but reaches
the conclusion he must talk to his missing colleague to understand what has happened to him
and to have any hope of a cure. He follows the trail of the missing interpreter around Europe as
his life undergoes profound changes and he is forced to confront the darker side of life.

A smorgasbord of more than 50 recipes celebrates the versatility of the deep-fried french fry.
Why tear open bags and slide tasteless frozen potato sticks into the oven? Much more appetizing
are home-cut Belgian hand-made french fry souffles, extravagant tornados, or delicate spaghetti
nests. Regardless of shape or thickness, whether you are looking for a quick snack or an entire
meal, this book presents a palette of potato options. From prepping the perfect potato to
selecting the right type of oil to serving the perfect dipping sauce, this book not only presents
french as an accompaniment but also lets them take centre stage like the french fry burger or
chili french fries.

What are the names of all those delicious apples that are often sold unlabeled at fruit and
vegetable markets or that are piled up in all colors and shapes in the display cases at the
entrance to the supermarket? They might be called Pink Lady, Empire or Firmgold – and you
wonder which types originally gave rise to these hybrids. At any rate, it’s been a long time since
they originated exclusively in one country. Trying to distinguish between the many varieties of
bluemold cheese takes more time than the layperson’s patience will allow. Nevertheless, he
would be happy to know wether or not a Blue Castello would be a tasty alternative to his
favourite Danablu. And since Asian cooking styles have begun to enjoy enormous popularity,
public interest in these exotic delicacies has increased immensely.
However, the origins or uses of these ingredients in the kitchen are often still unknown. The well
structured and highly informative reference book Ingredients provides help with all of these
questions, identifies approximately 2000 ingredients by name an describes their composition and
uses. This book will help cooks – and everyone who likes to eat – find their way through the
world’s jungle of ingredients.

Pasta has always been a great standby but a lot has changed in recent years and this new book
from award-winning food writer Loukie Werle comes at just the right time.
In some ways, it looks backwards to the Italian tradition and the old ways of cooking where
produce is seasonal, inexpensive and at its best. This is the secret of how Italian cooks found so
many interesting ways to use the same ingredient over and over again, without it ever becoming
boring.
'Pasta Rustica' is also forward looking, taking full advantage of the availability of once unusual
ingredients - think ‘gourmet’ sausages, varietal potatoes, greens such as rapa, the plethora of
past shapes - and even provision for people with food intolerances.
Most of all, 'Pasta Rustica' is a book to enjoy. As Loukie says, "I’ve written recipes that are new
and, as I see it, more clearly describe where we're at now - delicious, healthy food to eat with
gusto and not worry that the occasional carb might spoil your eating plan."

Bruges 1914: a medium-sized Flemish city with a medieval core and a brand-new modern
harbour is turned into a base for imperial Germany's naval and submarine war. Though close to
the Western Front, Bruges saw another face of war: that of military occupation, of being made
into a bastion for its conqueror's war, and of being bombed from the air as a result. The story of
Bruges in the First World War is the story of a city that escaped destruction but faced violence. It
is the story of its wartime rulers and how they saw their war effort. And it is the story of civilians
who, even under military domination, made choices of their own.
SELLING POINTS:

For hundreds of years the vast territory of the Kalahari remained a blank on the map. Yet it

charlatans. This book is a whimsical anthology of those who were inspired by this desert, those
who lived in its bitter confines and those who died in its dry embrace.
"Kalahari - what a beautiful word. It rolls off the tongue with satisfying ease, seeming to apply
distance. A great wilderness of waving grasses, humming with grasshopper song under a hot
wind and a sky of vibrant blue". - Rupert Isaacson, 'The Healing Land'.
"But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity." - Andrew Marvell (1621-78).
"Oh that the desert were my dwelling place, with only one fair spirit for my minister. That I
might forget the human race, and hating no one, love her only." - Lord Byron.

• Unique photographs from a detective involved in the investigation; not only a murder
investigation, but also a unique portrait of an era
De Mey received international appraisal for 'Cold Case Kennedy' – "Flip has written a very
interesting book. I would recommend reading it." Barry Ernest, author of bestselling JFK book
'The Girl on the Stairs'
Lawyer and forensic auditor Flip de Mey has for years studied the files on the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. His research, based on the original documents, led to a startling and
ground-breaking theory, which he described in Cold Case Kennedy. In a follow-up to that
bestseller, 'The Lee Harvey Oswald Files', de Mey investigates exactly what part Oswald played
in the Kennedy assassination. With the same attention to detail that enabled him to prove
Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy, he examines the files and presents new information
derived from unique photographs of Oswald's rifle and contact with two of Oswald's friends.
De Mey's conclusion is unambiguous: Oswald could not have killed Kennedy. So who did, and
why? Flip de Mey's answers to these questions are shrewd and supported by a multiplicity of
arguments.
Cold Case Kennedy ISBN 9789401413961

Flip de Mey started his career as a lawyer, but studied further to become a forensic auditor
specialising in the unravelling of fraud and other irregularities. His expertise, based on many
years of experience, and his specific methods for analysing complex dossiers served him well

this atlas were designed by the finest cartographers of this pivotal era in human history.
Engraved on steel plates, printed in black and white, and hand-coloured by artists, they continue

The untold story of eleven unsolved murders of London women at the time of Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper is the quintessential Victorian serial killer, and the debate continues with regard
to the number of his victims: were there just four or five, or more than nine of them? But there
is a profusion of unsolved murders of London women from late Victorian times, and this book
presents eleven of the most gruesome and mysterious of them.
Marvel at the convoluted Kingswood Mystery and the unsolved Cannon Street Murder of 1866;
shudder at the Hoxton Horror and the Great Coram Street Murder of 1872; be puzzled by the
West Ham Disappearances and by the unsolved railway murder of Elizabeth Camp in 1898.
Murder often came to call at the flyblown lodging-houses and brothels of old Bloomsbury, as well
as in the houses of Burton Crescent and Euston Square.
Prostitutes were murdered in London brothels in 1863, in 1872 and in 1884; none of the murders
were ever solved. There are many books about the Whitechapel fiend, but this is the first one to
detail the ghoulish handiwork of the 'Rivals of the Ripper'.
AUTHOR:
Jan Bondeson is a senior lecturer at Cardiff University and is a respected true crime historian,
having written some fourteen books. Titles include 'The London Monster' (THP, 2005), 'Freaks'

Rome Spreads Her Wings
Author: CHRYSTAL PAUL

Pages: 224
Category: History
RRP: $80.00

The two decades between the end of the First Punic War and the beginning of the Second
represent a key period in the development of Rome's imperial ambitions, both within Italy and
beyond. Within Italy, Rome faced an invasion of Gauls from Northern Italy, which threatened the
very existence of the Roman state. This war culminated at the Battle of Telamon and the final
Roman victory against the Gauls of Italy, giving Rome control of the peninsula up to the Alps for
the first time in her history. Beyond the shores of Italy, Rome acquired her first provinces, in the
form of Sardinia and Corsica, established footholds in Sicily and Spain and crossed the Adriatic to
establish a presence on the Greek mainland, bringing Rome into the orbit of the Hellenistic
World.
Yet this period is often treated as nothing more than an intermission between the two better
known Punic Wars, with each Roman campaign being made seemingly in anticipation of a further
conflict with Carthage. Such a view overlooks two key factors that emerge from these decades:
firstly, that Rome faced a far graver threat in the form of the Gauls of Northern Italy than she
had faced at the hands of the Carthaginians in the First Punic War; secondly, that the foundations
for Rome's overseas empire were laid in these very decades. This work seeks to redress the
balance and view these wars in their own right, analyse how close Rome came to being defeated
in Italy and asses the importance of these decades as a key period in the foundation of Rome's
future empire.
AUTHOR:
Dr Gareth Sampson; Phd in Ancient History from Manchester University and now lectures on
Roman history.
SELLLING POINTS:
• Covers a neglected period in the history of the Roman republic, that between the second and
first Punic wars.
• This period saw Rome solidify her grip on the Italian peninsula and gain her first overseas
province
• It also saw the Gallic invasion which threatened the existence of Rome itself, cuminating in the
pivotal Battle of Telamon.

A fascinating, concise and comprehensive description of the rise, glory and fall of the Roman
civilization.
From obscure Neolithic pastoral village to "capital of the world," the history of ancient Rome is
not merely one of the most incredible adventures of mankind, but constitutes the start of an
uninterrupted "bridge" between the dawn of Italic civilization and the modern West. In its 1200
years of existence, the city founded on the values established by Romulus' patres, has expanded
and diversified its influence incessantly and in all spheres, progressively absorbing peoples and
customs, ideas, techniques and beliefs. This journey to the origins of the present is a pictorial
representation of the development of the Roman world in the light of the historical, urban,
architectural and artistic aspects that characterized the main periods of this extraordinary
civilization, from its formative years to the crisis of the 5th century BC, following the conquests of
Rome: the Italian peninsula, the Mediterranean and the Hellenic East. A vast iconography,
consisting of photographs, reconstructions and plans, accompanies the text, written by an
acknowledged authority in the field of Italic archaeology, which helps to clarify the dynamics of
the exceptional development of the Roman world.

Wayward Women:
Female Offending in Victorian England
Author: WILLIAMS LUCY
ISBN: 9781473844872
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 176
Category: History
RRP: $39.99
9HSLERD*ieeihc+
We most often think of the Victorian female offender in her most archetypal and stereotypical
roles; the polite lady shoplifter, stowing all manner of valuables beneath her voluminous
crinolines, the tragic street waif of Dickensian fiction or the vicious femme fatale who wreaked
her terrible revenge with copious poison.
Yet the stories in popular novels and the 'Penny Dreadfuls' of the day have passed down to us
only half the story of these women and their crimes. From the everyday street scuffles and
pocket pickings of crowded slums, to the sensational trials that dominated national headlines; the
women of Victorian England were responsible for a diverse and at times completely unexpected
level of deviance.
This book takes a closer look at women and crime in the Victorian period. With vivid real-life
stories, powerful photos, eye-opening cases and wider discussions that give us an insightful
illustration of the lives of the women responsible for them. This history of brawlers, thieves,
traffickers and sneaks shows individuals navigating a world where life was hard and resources
were scarce. Their tales are of poverty, opportunism, violence, hope and despair; but perhaps
most importantly, the story of survival in the ruthless world of the past.
AUTHOR:
Lucy Williams is a writer and historian living in Wales. She has a PhD from the University of
Liverpool and specialises in Crime History, Women's History, and the Social History of the
nineteenth century. She has spent over five years researching and writing about female
deviance in an academic context, and is now part of an exciting project tracing the lives of
offenders in England and Australia. 'Wayward Women' is her first popular book on the history of
women and crime.
SELLING POINTS:
• Contains fascinating details of the lives and crimes of women in Victorian England.
• Includes a selection of newly discovered stories and previously unseen photographs of female
offenders in Victorian England.
• Provides an overview of the diverse range of female crime and deviance.
• Examines women from across England.
• Offers new insight into never-before covered cases as well as some of the better-known
female offenders of the day.

The Realities of Nazi Persecution in the Holocaust
The first book to comprehensively examine the stories of the people who betrayed Jews in the
Second World War
'Who Betrayed the Jews?' is a ground-breaking study that examines the various ways Jews were
betrayed by their fellow countrymen during the Second World War. In many cases they
regarded themselves as Hungarians, Frenchmen, etc., first and Jews second, so persecution
came as a terrible shock to them. Many had fought for their country in the First World War, but
this offered no protection - not even for those awarded the Iron Cross. Their neighbours and
school friends betrayed them to the authorities. In turn the authorities 'legally' withdrew their
rights and also stripped them of their possessions under Aryanization policies. Bodies such as the
police and railway companies co-operated with the Nazis in transporting Jews to their deaths. The
betrayal did not end in 1945. There is evidence of Holocaust survivors being attacked as they
returned home.
In 'Who Betrayed the Jews?', historian Agnes Grunwald-Spier reveals, among other accounts, the
story of Prosper de Zitter, a Nazi conspirator who betrayed hundreds of Jews to the Gestapo.
AUTHOR:
Agnes Grunwald-Spier was born in Budapest in July 1944. After fortune saved them from
deportation to Auschwitz, she and her mother were sent to the Budapest ghetto in November
1944, and were liberated in January 1945. A former civil servant, Agnes holds degrees in History
& Politics and Holocaust Studies, and was a founder-trustee of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.
She was a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews for 15 years, a member of the
Architects’ Registration Board and a Justice of the Peace for 30 years. She is the author of 'The
Other Schindlers' (The History Press, 2010).

The Shooting of Steven Waldorf and the Hunt for David Martin
David Ralph Martin was a cross-dressing criminal who carried out a string of sophisticated
offences in the 1970s and '80s. A prolific burglar, car thief, fraudster and gunman, he possessed
a deep loathing of anyone in authority. In addition, he was a master of disguise and a veritable
Houdini when it came to escaping from prison.
After shooting a policeman during a botched burglary, he escaped from court on Christmas Eve,
1982. When police believed him to be in a yellow Mini in the Earls Court area with his girlfriend,
they opened fire, only to discover they had shot an entirely innocent man - a 26-year-old film
editor named Steven Waldorf.
The investigation became a cause celebre at the time, and was subsequently taken over by
Scotland Yard's Flying Squad, of which the author was a member. One of the biggest manhunts
in the history of the Metropolitan Police ensued, before Martin was finally arrested after
dramatically fleeing down the tracks between two Underground stations.
Author Dick Kirby reveals for the first time the inside story of the hunt for 'the most dangerous
man in London', whose eventual arrest brought to an end one of the most contentious
investigations in Met history.
AUTHOR:
Dick Kirby joined the Metropolitan Police in 1967, and during the next 26 years spent half of his
service with Scotland Yard’s Serious Crime Squad and the Flying Squad. He is now a true crime
historian, having written numerous books including 'Villains' (Constable, 2008), 'The Sweeney'
(Pen & Sword, 2011) and 'The Scourge of Soho' (Pen & Sword, 2013).
SELLING POINTS:
• Author reveals that there was no 'shoot on sight' policy at the Met at the time
• A first-hand account from someone involved in the investigation and manhunt
• Unpublished interviews with many of the officers involved
• A fascinating insight into the work of Scotland Yard's Flying Squad

"My name is Sherlock Holmes. it is my business to know what other people don't know."
'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' first introduced Arthur Conan Doyle's brilliant detective the
readers of The Strand Magazine. In these twenty three tales, collected here in one volume, you
have some of the best detective yarns ever penned. In his consulting room at 221B Baker
Street, the master sleuth receives a stream of clients all presenting him with baffling and bizarre
mysteries to unravel. There is, for example, the man who is frightened for his life because of the
arrival of an envelope containing five orange pips; there is the terrified woman who is aware
that her life is in danger and cannot explain the whistling sounds she hears in the night; and
there is the riddle of the missing butler and the theft of an ancient treasure. In the last story,
there is the climactic battle between Holmes and his arch enemy, 'the Napoleon of Crime'
Professor Moriarty. Holmes, with trusty Watson by his side, is equal to these and the other
challenges in this splendid collection.

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.

The Aeneid
Author: VIRGIL
ISBN: 9781853262630
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 416
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgcgda+
With an Introduction, Notes and Glossary by Mandy Green, University of Durham
Translated by Michael J. Oakley
'The Aeneid' is Virgil's Masterpiece. His epic poem recounts the story of Rome's legendary origins
from the ashes of Troy and proclaims her destiny of world dominion. This optimistic vision is
accompanied by an undertow of sadness at the price that must be paid in human suffering to
secure Rome's future greatness. The tension between the public voice of celebration and the
tragic private voice is given full expression both in the doomed love of Dido and Aeneas, and in
the fateful clash between the Trojan leader and the Italian hero, Turnus.
Hailed by T.S. Eliot as "the classic of all Europe", Virgil's 'Aeneid' has enjoyed a unique and
enduring influence on European literature, art and politics for the past two thousand years.
AUTHOR:
Considered the greatest of the Roman poets, Publius Vergilius Maro, known as Virgil (70BC
-19BC) took Greek literary traditions and transformed them into something unique. 'The Aeneid',
which consists of twelve books, each between 700 and 1,000 lines long, is considered the
crowning achievement of Roman culture.

Antony and Cleopatra
Author: SHAKESPEARE WILLIAM
ISBN: 9781853260759
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 160
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgahfj+
This book comes with an introduction and notes by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English,
University of Sussex.
'Antony and Cleopatra' is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies: a spectacular, widely-ranging
drama of love and war, passion and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of
imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship with Cleopatra. She, variously
generous and ruthless, loving and jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare's
most complex depiction of a woman:
'Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale/Her infinite variety.'
Unsurpassed in sumptous eloquence and powerful characterisation, Anthony and Cleopatra
deservedly retains its popularity in the theatre. Its insights into the corruptions of power and the
ambiguities of desire remain timely.
This volume is part of the Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has
been edited by Cedric Watts.
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.

The Complete Richard Hannay Stories
Author: BUCHAN JOHN
ISBN: 9781840226553
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 1000
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*ccgffd+
Major General Sir Richard Hannay is the fictional secret agent created by writer and diplomat
John Buchan, who was himself an Intelligence officer during the First World War. The strong and
silent type, combining the dour temperament of the Scot with the stiff upper lip of the
Englishman, Hannay is pre-eminent among early spy-thriller heroes. Caught up in the first of
these five gripping adventures just before the outbreak of war in 1914, he manages to thwart
the enemy's evil plan and solve the mystery of the 'thirty-nine steps'.
In Greenmantle, he undertakes a vital mission to prevent jihad in the Islamic Near East. Mr
Standfast, set in the decisive months of 1917-18, is the novel in which Hannay, after a life lived
'wholly among men', finally falls in love; later, in The Three Hostages, he finds himself
unravelling a kidnapping mystery with his wife's help. In the last adventure, The Island of Sheep,
he is called upon to honour an old oath.
A shrewd judge of men, he never dehumanises his enemy, and despite sharing some of the
racial prejudices of his day, Richard Hannay is a worthy prototype hero of espionage fiction.
Stories include:
'The Thirty-nine Steps'
'Greenmantle'
'Mr Standfast'
'The Three Hostages'
'The Island of Sheep'
AUTHOR:
John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish writer of both fiction and non-fiction work. His most

RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*ccedag+
Translated by Constance Garnett with an Introduction and Notes by Dr Keith Carabine, University
of Kent at Canterbury.
'Crime and Punishment' is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written. From the
beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better
instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder.
From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt
for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable
transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both
his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime.
The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the
eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence: most especially our desire for self-expression
and self-fulfilment, as against the constraints of morality and human laws; and our agonised
awareness of the world's harsh injustices and of our own mortality, as against the mysteries of
divine justice and immortality.

Translated by Constance Garnett with an Introduction by A.D.P. Briggs.
In 1869 a young Russian was strangled, shot through the head and thrown into a pond. His
crime? A wish to leave small group of violent revolutionaries, from which he had become
alienated. Dostoevsky takes this real-life catastrophe as the subject and culmination of 'Devils', a
title that refers the young radicals themselves and also to the materialistic ideas that possessed
the minds of many thinking people Russian society at the time.
The satirical portraits of the revolutionaries, with their naivety, ludicrous single-mindedness and
readiness for murder and destruction, might seem exaggerated - until we consider their
all-too-recognisable descendants in the real world ever since. The key figure in the novel,
however, is beyond politics. Nikolay Stavrogin, another product of rationalism run wild, exercises
his charisma with ruthless authority and total amorality. His unhappiness is accounted for when
he confesses to a ghastly sexual crime - in a chapter long suppressed by the censor.
This prophetic account of modern morals and politics, with its fifty-odd characters, amazing
events and challenging ideas, is seen by some critics as Dostoevsky's masterpiece.

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 224
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgcabc+
'The Diary of a Nobody' is based on a series of amusing columns written between 1888-9 for
Punch, and published as a novel in 1892 with illustrations by Weedon. The book has remained in
print ever since that first publication.
The diary is that of Mr Charles Pooter, a city clerk of lower middle-class status but significant
social aspirations, living in Upper Holloway. Other characters include his wife Carrie (Caroline),
his son Lupin, his friends Mr Cummings and Mr Gowing, and Lupin's unsuitable fiancee, Daisy
Mutlar. The humour derives from Pooter's unconscious gaffes and self-importance, as well as the
snubs he receives from those he considers socially inferior (i.e. tradesmen). The book has
spawned the word "Pooterish" to describe a tendency to take oneself excessively seriously.
Pooter is mentioned in John Betjeman's poem about Wembley.
AUTHORS:
George started his career as a court reporter for The Times, Weedon as an artist. They both
later became actors. George created many famous baritone roles in the operettas of Gilbert and
Sullivan at the Savoy theatre. George retired in 1900 and died in Folkestone in 1912. Weedon
retired in 1917 and died in London in 1919.

Mr Dombey is a man obsessed with his firm. His son is groomed from birth to take his place
within it, despite his visionary eccentricity and declining health. But Dombey also has a daughter,
whose unfailing love for her father goes unreturned. "Girls" said Mr Dombey, "have nothing to do
with Dombey and Son".
When Walter Gay, a young clerk in her father's office, rescues her from a bewildering experience
in the streets of London, his unforgettable friends believe he is well on his way to receiving her
hand in marriage and inheriting the company. It is to be a very different type of story.
'Dombey and Son' moved grown men to tears (Thackeray despaired of "writing against such
power as this"), but its rich, comic characters and their joyful explosions of language draw
laughter with equally unerring magic.

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University.
"There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were
changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red
underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which
trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning
eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated.
It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy
leech, exhausted with his repletion."
Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the
demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece 'Dracula', a truly iconic and unsettling tale of
vampirism.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish writer of novels and

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like',
but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with
speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will
never be married.
Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer
perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and
the end is a triumph of understanding.

Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among

'Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure', better known as 'Fanny Hill', is one of the most notorious
texts in English literature. As recently as 1963 an unexpurgated edition was the subject of a trial,
yet in the eighteenth century John Cleland's open celebration of sexual enjoyment was a
best-selling novel.
Fanny's story, as she falls into prostitution and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a
confession that is vividly coloured by copious and explicit physiological details of her carnal
adventures. The moral outrage that this has always provoked has only recently been countered
by serious critical appraisal.
Cleland’s highly entertaining book is a classic of erotica that holds a unique place in English
fiction.
AUTHOR:
John Cleland (1709 -1789) was languishing in Fleet Debtor's Prison when the first volume of his
notorious erotic classic, 'Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure' was published. Promptly banned, it
was not legally published in England again until 1970, by which time it was better known as
'Fanny Hill'. Cleland died in poverty and obscurity; his book is now considered "the best erotic
novel in the English language".

Henry James's last completed novel, 'The Golden Bowl', is the story of two flawed marriages.
The lives and relationships of Maggie Verver and her widowed American millionaire father,
Adam, are changed and challenged by the beautiful and charming Charlotte Stant, who is the
former lover of Maggie's husband, the impoverished Italian, Prince Amerigo.
The narrative is underpinned by complex symbolism. The gilded crystal bowl with its almost
invisible flaw is the vehicle which James uses to reveal past misdemeanours and make his
characters face their own defects in this classic tale of redemption.
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.

9HSLIPD*cgceab+
Introduction and Notes by Gene M. Moore, Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Generally regarded as the pre-eminent work of Conrad's shorter fiction, 'Heart of Darkness' is a
chilling tale of horror which, as the author intended, is capable of many interpretations. Set in
the Congo during the period of rapid colonial expansion in the 19th century, the story deals with
the highly disturbing effects of economic, social and political exploitation of European and African
societies and the cataclysmic behaviour this induced in some individuals.
The other two stories in this book – 'Youth' and 'The End of the Tether' – concern the sea and
those who sail upon it, a genre in which Conrad reigns supreme.
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.

Introduction and Notes by Janet Beer. Manchester Metropolitan University
'The House of Mirth' tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a
rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her
clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily
becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the
marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily’s life, providing, along the way,
a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of
manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable
commodity.

secret tunnel in a volcano in Iceland on a journey which will lead them to the centre of the earth.
Along the way they encounter various hazards and witness many incredible sights such as the

monsters, the strange whispering gallery, giant insects and the vast subterranean sea with its
ferocious whirlpool.
Although published in the nineteenth century, 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' has lost none

'Little Dorrit' is a classic tale of imprisonment, both literal and metaphorical, while Dickens'
working title for the novel, Nobody's Fault, highlights its concern with personal responsibility in
private and public life. Dickens' childhood experiences inform the vivid scenes in Marshalsea
debtor's prison, while his adult perceptions of governmental failures shape his satirical picture of
the Circumlocution Office. The novel's range of characters - the honest, the crooked, the selfish
and the self-denying - offers a portrait of society about whose values Dickens had profound
doubts.
'Little Dorrit' is indisputably one of Dickens' finest works, written at the height of his powers.
George Bernard Shaw called it "a masterpiece among masterpieces", a verdict shared by the
novel's many admirers.

9HSLIPD*cgahia+
With an Introduction by Roger Clark, University of Kent at Canterbury. Translation by Eleanor
Marx-Aveling.
Castigated for offending against public decency, 'Madame Bovary' has rarely failed to cause a
storm. For Flaubert's contemporaries, the fascination came from the novelist's meticulous
account of provincial matters. For the writer, subject matter was subordinate to his anguished
quest for aesthetic perfection. For his twentieth-century successors the formal experiments that
underpin 'Madame Bovary' look forward to the innovations of contemporary fiction.
Flaubert's protagonist in particular has never ceased to fascinate. Romantic heroine or
middle-class neurotic, flawed wife and mother or passionate protester against the conventions of
bourgeois society, simultaneously the subject of Flaubert's admiration and the butt of his irony Emma Bovary remains one of the most enigmatic of fictional creations.
Flaubert's meticulous approach to the craft of fiction, his portrayal of contemporary reality, his
representation of an unforgettable cast of characters make Madame Bovary one of the major
landmarks of modern fiction.
AUTHOR:
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) achieved instant success and fame, indeed notoriety, with his first
novel, "Madam Bovary", published in 1857. He was prosecuted on the basis that the novel was
‘offensive to public morality and religion’. Although found not guilty, Flaubert earned a lecture
from the judge on the dangers of "‘realism". The book was a huge success, and Flaubert came to
be considered one of the great novelists of Western literature.

Virginia Woolf's singular technique in Mrs Dalloway heralds a break with the traditional novel
form and reflects a genuine humanity and a concern with the experiences that both enrich and
stultify existence.
Society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway is giving a party. Her thoughts and sensations on that one
day, and the interior monologues of others whose lives are interwoven with hers gradually
reveal the characters of the central protagonists. Clarissa's life is touched by tragedy as the
events in her day run parallel to those of Septimus Warren Smith, whose madness escalates as
his life draws toward inevitable suicide.
The delicate artistry and lyrical prose of Woolf’s fourth novel have established her as a writer of
profound talent.
AUTHOR:
(Adeline) Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer, whose innovative, experimental
novels have had a lasting effect on the development of modern literature. Her books, such as
'Mrs Dalloway', 'The Waves' and 'To the Lighthouse', with their stream-of-consciousness
structure, have led her to be recognised as one of the most significant writers of the twentieth
century.

Virginia Woolf's 'Orlando' "The longest and most charming love letter in literature", playfully
constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover,
Vita Sackville-West. Spanning three centuries, the novel opens as Orlando, a young nobleman in
Elizabeth's England, awaits a visit from the Queen and traces his experience with first love as
England under James I lies locked in the embrace of the Great Frost.
At the midpoint of the novel, Orlando, now an ambassador in Constantinople, awakes to find that
he is a woman, and the novel indulges in farce and irony to consider the roles of women in the
18th and 19th centuries.
As the novel ends in 1928, a year consonant with full suffrage for women, Orlando, now a wife
and mother, stands poised at the brink of a future that holds new hope and promise for women.
Wordsworth Classics presents this new edition, proclaimed by Woolf's contemporary Rebecca
West as 'a poetic masterpiece of the first rank,' restoring Woolf's original photographs and index,
and with an introduction and notes by Merry M. Pawlowski, US scholar in Modernist and Woolf
studies.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex.
'Pride and Prejudice', which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is
an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical
and indolent husband.
With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, 'Pride and Prejudice' has
proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.
AUTHOR:
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist, whose realism, biting
social commentary and masterly use of free indirect speech, burlesque, and irony have earned
her a place as one of the most widely read and most beloved writers in English literature.
Austen lived her entire life as part of a small and close-knit family located on the lower fringes of
English gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through
her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to Austen's development as a
professional writer. Austen's artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was
about thirty-five years old. During this period, she experimented with various literary forms,
including the epistolary novel which she tried and then abandoned, and wrote and extensively
revised three major novels and began a fourth.
During Austen's lifetime, because she chose to publish anonymously, her works brought her little
personal fame and only a few positive reviews.

The Professor

Binding: Paperback

RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgcaib+
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue.
'The Professor' is Charlotte Bronte's first novel, in which she audaciously inhabits the voice and
consciousness of a man, William Crimsworth. Like Jane Eyre he is parentless; like Lucy Snowe in
Villette he leaves the certainties of England to forge a life in Brussels. But as a man, William has
freedom of action, and as a writer Bronte is correspondingly liberated, exploring the relationship
between power and sexual desire.
William's first person narration reveals his attraction to the dominating directress of the girls'
school where he teaches, played out in the school's 'secret garden'. Balanced against this is his
more temperate relationship with one of his pupils, Frances Henri, in which mastery and
submission interplay. 'The Professor' was published only after Charlotte Bronte's death; today it
gives us a fascinating insight into the first stirrings of her supreme creative imagination.
AUTHOR:
Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was oldest of the three Bronte sisters to achieve fame. Her first
published novel 'Jane Eyre' remains her most popular work, but her subsequent books, 'Shirley',
'Villette' and the posthumously-published 'The Professor' are all highly rated.

RRP: $6.95
9HSLIOA*cchcie+
With an Introduction by Anthony Briggs
Translated by Louise Maude
This powerful novel, Tolstoy's third major masterpiece, after War and Peace and Anna Karenina,
begins with a courtroom drama (the finest in Russian literature) all the more stunning for being
based on a real-life event. Dmitri Nekhlyudov, called to jury service, is astonished to see in the
dock, charged with murder, a young woman whom he once seduced, propelling her into
prostitution. She is found guilty on a technicality, and he determines to overturn the verdict. This
pitches him into a hellish labyrinth of Russian courts, prisons and bureaucracy, in which the
author loses no opportunity for satire and bitter criticism of a state system (not confined to that
country) of cruelty and injustice. This is Dickens for grown-ups, involving a hundred characters,
Crime and Punishment brought forward half a century. With unforgettable set-pieces of sexual
passion, conflict and social injustice, Resurrection proceeds from brothel to court-room, stinking
cells to offices of state, luxury apartments to filthy life in Siberia. The ultimate crisis of moral
responsibility embroils not only the famous author and his hero, but also you and me. Can we
help resolve the eternal issues of law and imprisonment?
AUTHOR:
Leo Tolstoy (1828 -1910) is one of the major figures in world literature, and 'War and Peace' is
in contention to be considered the greatest novel ever written. But this is only one of his
memorable works: 'Anna Karenina' certainly equals it in popularity, and his shorter works, such
as 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' are considered excellent.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English,
University of Sussex.
'Richard II' is one of Shakespeare’s finest works: lucid, eloquent, and boldly structured. It can be
seen as a tragedy, or a historical play, or a political drama, or as one part of a vast dramatic
cycle which helped to generate England’s national identity. Today, to some of us, 'Richard II'
may appear conservative; but, in Shakespeare’s day, it could appear subversive: ‘I am Richard
II’, declared an indignant Queen Elizabeth.
Numerous recent revivals in the theatre and on screen have demonstrated the enduring power
and poignancy of this drama of the downfall of an egoistic but pitiable monarch.
'Richard II' is the seventeenth volume in the Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series, in which
each volume has been freshly edited by Cedric Watts.

The 'Shirley' of the title is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not. Both
struggle with what a woman's role is and can be. Their male counterparts - Louis, the powerless
tutor, and Robert, his cloth-manufacturing brother - also stand at odds to society's expectations.
The novel is set in a period of social and political ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the
drama of Luddite machine-breaking, and the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars.
But Charlotte Bronte's particular strength lies in exploring the hidden psychological drama of
love, loss and the quest for identity. Personal and public agitation are brought together against
the dramatic backdrop of her native Yorkshire. As always, Bronte challenges convention,
exploring the limitations of social justice whilst telling not one but two love stories.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles
Author: HARDY THOMAS
ISBN: 9781853260056
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 384
RRP: $6.95
9HSLIPD*cgaafg+
Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at
Canterbury.
Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging
sub-title, 'A Pure Woman', infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was
condemned as immoral and pessimistic.
It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she
may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her
fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores
Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the
rural Victorian world which she inhabits and the hypocrisy of the age.
In addressing the double standards of the time, Hardy's masterly evocation of a world which we
have lost, provides one of the most compelling stories in the canon of English literature, whose
appeal today defies the judgement of Hardy’s contemporary critics.
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.

9HSLIPD*cgacbg+
Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury.
'Tom Jones' is widely regarded as one of the first and most influential English novels. It is
certainly the funniest. Tom Jones, the hero of the book, is introduced to the reader as the ward
of a liberal Somerset squire. Tom is a generous but slightly wild and feckless country boy with a
weakness for young women.
Misfortune, followed by many spirited adventures as he travels to London to seek his fortune,
teach him a sort of wisdom to go with his essential good-heartedness.
This 'comic, epic poem in prose' will make the modern reader laugh as much as it did his
forbears. Its biting satire finds an echo in today's society, for as Doris Lessing recently remarked
"This country becomes every day more like the eighteenth century, full of thieves and
adventurers, rogues and a robust, unhypocritical savagery side-by-side with people lecturing
others on morality".
AUTHOR:
Henry Fielding (1707-1754) was an English novelist; building on the foundations put in place by
Daniel Defoe and others, he was a major contributor to the form of the modern novel. He wrote
four novels, of which the most enduring is 'The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling', widely
regarded as among the finest books ever written.

With an Introduction and Notes by Owen Knowles, University of Hull
Thackeray's upper-class Regency world is a noisy and jostling commercial fairground,
predominantly driven by acquisitive greed and soulless materialism, in which the narrator himself
plays a brilliantly versatile role as a serio-comic observer.
Although subtitled 'A Novel without a Hero', Vanity Fair follows the fortunes of two contrasting
but inter-linked lives: through the retiring Amelia Sedley and the brilliant Becky Sharp,
Thackeray examines the position of women in an intensely exploitative male world.
When 'Vanity Fair' was published in 1848, Charlotte Bronte commented: "The more I read
Thackeray's works the more certain I am that he stands alone – alone in his sagacity, alone in
his truth, alone in his feeling… Thackeray is a Titan."
AUTHOR:
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863) was an English writer. His finest work, 'Vanity Fair',
brought him fame, and comparisons with Dickens. The novel has retained its perennial appeal,
and is widely considered to be one of the finest written during the nineteenth century.

Stephen is an ideal child of aristocratic parents - a fencer, a horse rider and a keen scholar.
Stephen grows to be a war hero, a bestselling writer and a loyal, protective lover. But Stephen is
a woman, and her lovers are women. As her ambitions drive her, and society confines her,
Stephen is forced into desperate actions. "The Well of Loneliness" was banned for obscenity
when published in 1928. It became an international bestseller, and for decades was the single
most famous lesbian novel. It has influenced how love between women is understood, for the
twentieth century and beyond.

bedtime stories he wrote for his young son, and was published in 1908. Although he lived for
over twenty years after, it was his last published work.

'Wuthering Heights' is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between
Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr
Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly
believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return
years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his
former miseries.
The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a
complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic
grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
AUTHOR:
Emily Jane Bronte (30 July 1818 — 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet, now

During his life, Geoffrey Chaucer (born c.1340) was courtier, diplomat, revenue collector,
administrator, negotiator, overseer of building projects, landowner and knight of the shire. He
was servant, retainer, husband, friend and father. Whilst he was doing and ‘being’ all of these
things, he was writing. Not only did he write in English - for princes, friends, family and,
presumably, for his own pleasure – but his knowledge of French and Italian enabled him to
engage with the works of notable French poets such as Eustache Deschamps, and also with the
Italian works of Petrarch, Dante and Boccaccio, an understanding which he used to enrich and
develop his own language.
It was Boccaccio's Decameron which inspired Chaucer, in the 1390s, to begin work on 'The
Canterbury Tales', which was still unfinished at his death in October 1400. It tells the story of a
group of 30 pilgrims who meet at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, on the south bank of the
Thames opposite the city of London, and travel together to visit the then famous shrine of St
Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. The tavern host, who accompanies them, suggests that
they amuse one another along the way by telling stories. There will be a prize for this: the best
storyteller will get a free meal in the tavern on their return. The stories told by the pilgrims
range from bawdy comedies through saints' lives and moral tracts to courtly romances, but are
always delivered with a generous helping of Chaucer’s own sly wit and ironic humour. Although
based on the stereotypes of ‘estates satire’, his pilgrims appear as individuals who can be
recognised by their audience. Chaucer succeeds in his aim of producing an overview of his times
and their culture, for posterity, in the manner of Italian, proto-Renaissance, writers. In the
decades after his death, Chaucer was recognised and elevated by a new generation of writers to
a position of prominence in the emerging canon of English writing, from which he ultimately
became known as ‘the Father of English Literature’.
This transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, produced within ten
years of Chaucer’s death. The aim of this edition, with on-page notes and glosses, is to enable
readers with little or no previous experience of Medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark
in English Literature.
AUTHOR:
Widely regarded as the father of English poetry, Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) is the
outstanding writer in English before Shakespeare, and 'The Canterbury Tales' is still widely read,
studied and enjoyed.

9HSLIPD*cgeabg+
With an Introduction by Antonia Till.
William Wordsworth (1771-1850) is the foremost of the English Romantic poets. He was much
influenced by the events of the French Revolution in his youth, and he deliberately broke away
from the artificial diction of the Augustan and neo-classical tradition of the eighteenth century. He
sought to write in the language of ordinary men and women, of ordinary thoughts, sights and
sounds, and his early poetry represents this fresh approach to his art.
Wordsworth spent most of his adult life in the Lake District with his sister Dorothy and his wife
Mary, by whom he had four children. His remarkable autobiographical poem 'The Prelude' was
completed in 1805, but was not published until after his death, and it is included in this full edition
of Wordsworth's poetry.
AUTHOR:
When William Wordsworth (1770-1850) published 'Lyrical Ballads' with Samuel Coleridge in 1798,
they launched the Romantic Age of English Literature. Although now generally considered the
greatest poet of his age, at the time he would have been considered secondary to Keats, Scott
and later Tennyson. His semi-autobiographical poem, 'The Prelude', raised little interest when it
was published by his widow after his death, but it has come to be viewed as his masterpiece.

With an Introduction and Notes by David Ellis, University of Kent at Canterbury.
Lawrence's reputation as a novelist has often meant that his achievements in poetry have failed
to receive the recognition they deserve. This edition brings together, in a form he himself
sanctioned, his Collected Poems of 1928, the unexpurgated version of Pansies, and Nettles,
adding to these volumes the contents of the two notebooks in which he was still writing poetry
when he died in 1930.
It therefore allows the reader to trace the development of Lawrence as a poet and appreciate
the remarkable originality and distinctiveness of his achievement. Not all the poems reprinted
here are masterpieces but there is more than enough quality to confirm Lawrence's status as
one of the greatest English writers of the twentieth century.
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.

With an Introduction by Paul Wright
'What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth' -so wrote the Romantic poet John Keats
(1795-1821) in 1817. This collection contains all of his poetry: the early work, which is often
undervalued even today, the poems on which his reputation rests including the 'Odes' and the
two versions of the uncompleted epic 'Hyperion', and work which only came to light after his
death including his attempts at drama and comic verse.
It all demonstrates the extent to which he tested his own dictum throughout his short creative
life. That life spanned one of the most remarkable periods in English history in the aftermath of
the French Revolution and this collection, with its detailed introductions and notes, aims to place
the poems very much in their context. The collection is ample proof that Keats deservedly
achieved his wish to 'be among the English Poets after my death'.
AUTHOR:
John Keats (1795 - 1821) was only twenty-five when he died of tuberculosis in Italy. During his
life he published just fifty-four poems, in three slim volumes, yet his rich, powerful, and exactly
controlled poetic style ranks him as one of the greatest lyric poets in English.

With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Scofield.
'Lyrical Ballads' (1798 and 1800) constituted a quiet poetic revolution, both in its attitude to its
subject-matter and its anti-conventional language. Those volumes and Wordsworth's and
Coleridge's other major poems were central to the Romantic period and remain classic texts in
our own time. Wordsworth focuses on 'the essential passions of the heart' and achieves a
penetrating insight into love and death, solitude and community. Coleridge explores a more
fantastic and dreamlike imagination and also writes poems of quiet, conversational meditation.
Both poets look with a fresh and visionary eye at the human and the natural world. They
examine the condition of men and women at the extreme edge of society; they are also subtle
analysts of their own minds and the processes of introspection and memory.
This volume contains all of 'Lyrical Ballads' (1798) with Wordsworth's Preface of 1800/1802, and
a wide-ranging selection of both poet's other work, including virtually all their best known and
discussed shorter poems.
AUTHORS:
When William Wordsworth (1770-1850) published 'Lyrical Ballads' with Samuel Coleridge in 1798,

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was an English poet and writer who achieved fame as one
of the 'Lake Poets', and through his close association with William Wordsworth, with whom he

The Works of
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Author: TENNYSON ALFRED LORD
ISBN: 9781853264146
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 640
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIPD*cgebeg+
With an Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Karen Hodder.
Although Tennyson (1809-1892) has often seemed to personify the Victorian Age, he was a poet
before it began and his poems endure to speak clearly to this modern one. His mastery of a
great variety of poetic forms and moods enables him to communicate such extremes of feeling
as "calm despair and wild unrest"; rapturous love: "the soul of the rose went into my blood"; and
noble resolve:
…One equal temper of heroic hearts / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will.
AUTHOR:
More than any other contemporary writer, Alfred Tennyson (1809 -1892) embodied the Victorian
age, and during his lifetime, he, Queen Victoria and William Gladstone were said to be the three
most famous people alive. Much loved by Victoria and Albert, he became poet laureate in 1850,
and remained so until his death, the longest serving before and since. He was also unique in
being the first peer to be created for his writing. By general consensus, then and now, he was
the finest of the Victorian poets.

"Banjo" Paterson may be regarded as Australia's national poet. The apparent simplicity of the
ballad form is balanced by many syllabic irregularities and ingenuity of stress and internal
rhyme. His works include "Waltzing Matilda" and "The Man from Snowy River".
AUTHOR:
Banjo Paterson was born at Narambla, near Orange, New South Wales, the eldest son of a
Scottish immigrant from Lanarkshire on February 17, 1864. Paterson's family lived on the
isolated Buckinbah Station until he was 5. When Paterson's uncle died, his family took over the
uncle's farm in Illalong, near Yass. When Paterson turned 10 he was sent to school at Sydney
Grammar School, performing well both as a student and a sportsman. Leaving school at 16, he
took up the role of an articled clerk in a law firm and by the age of 23 Paterson was a fully
qualified solicitor
In 1885, Paterson began submitting and having his poetry published in the Sydney edition of The
Bulletin under the pseudonym of "The Banjo", the name of a favourite horse. Paterson, like The
Bulletin, was an ardent nationalist, and in 1889 published a pamphlet, Australia for the
Australians which told of his disdain for cheap labour and his admiration of hard work and the
nationalist spirit. In 1890, The Banjo wrote "The Man from Snowy River", a poem which caught
the heart of the nation, and in 1895 had a collection of his works published under that name.
This book is the most sold collection of Australian Bush poetry and is still being reprinted today.A
B (Banjo)Paterson also became a journalist, lawyer, jockey, soldier and a farmer.
In 1903 he married Alice Walker in Tenterfield. Their first home was in Queen Street, Woollahra.
The Patersons had two children, Grace born in 1904 and Hugh born in 1906.
He would later become a war correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald during the Second
Boer War, the Boxer Rebellion and World War I.

Enter Arsene Lupin, Gentleman – Cambrioleur, the "Prince of Thieves", one of the most daring
and dashing individuals who ever lifted a diamond necklace from under the noses of the
authorities. Young and handsome, laughing his way through difficulties and danger, Lupin is also
the master of disguise and languages. His sense of humour and conceit make life difficult for the
police who attribute most of the major crimes in France to Lupin and his gang of ruffians and
urchins.
Maurice Leblanc's stories are lively and witty, occasionally taking on the air of burlesque,
especially when Lupin pits his wits against the English detective named variously "Holmlock
Shears" and "Herlock Sholmes’".
These are significant tales in the history of crime fiction but, more importantly, they are great
fun.

Richard Marsh's weird, compelling and highly original novel, which once outsold 'Dracula', is both

Richard Marsh (1857-1915) was the pseudonym of the British author born Richard Bernard
Heldmann. He is best known for his supernatural thriller The Beetle: A Mystery, published in the
same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula and initially even more popular. The Beetle remained in
print until 1960, and was subsequently resurrected in 2004 and 2007. Heldman was educated at
Eton and Oxford University. He began to publish short stories, mostly adventure tales, as
"Bernard Heldmann," before adopting the name "Richard Marsh" in 1893. Several of the prolific
Marsh's novels were published posthumously.

"Demobilised officer, finding peace incredibly tedious would welcome diversion. Legitimate if
possible; but crime, of a comparatively humorous description, no objection. Excitement
essential."
Bulldog Drummond was the original daredevil adventurer who, with his various friends, made it
their mission to fight all enemies of Britain in the uncertain years following the First World War.
Fearless, resourceful and debonair, Drummond could easily have been the father of James Bond.
In the first four novels of the series, 'Bulldog Drummond', 'The Black Gang', 'The Third Round',
'The Final Count', all of which are contained within this volume, Hugh Drummond finds himself
pitting his wits against Carl Peterson, a criminal genius with an insatiable passion for power and
world domination. He has the great facility of disguise and his chameleon appearances are one
of the joys of these thrilling tales. Peterson’s constant companion is the sinister but beautiful
Irma.
The Drummond books are exciting page-turning adventures for grown up boys and girls.
AUTHOR:
'Sapper' was the pseudonym of Herman Cyril McNeile (1888 - 1937). A professional soldier, he
was awarded the Military Cross in World War I, and used his experiences to write a series of
short stories for newspapers, which were highly successful. His most lasting creation was Bulldog
Drummond, who appeared in ten books, the sales of which, combined with the film rights, made
him a very wealthy man.

The Gothic novel, featuring dark tales of tragedy, romance, revenge, torture and ancient
villainies, tinged with horror and the supernatural, became the vogue in the late eighteen and
early nineteenth centuries. This unique collection presents the best and the most diverse of this
fascinating genre. In Horace Walpole's 'The Castle of Otranto', often regarded as the first true
Gothic romance, we have a template for such works, which other writers adopted and adapted.
With its dark cruelties and fiercely passionate dramas, the power of Walpole's prose remains
magically potent today.
In 'Vathek' William Beckford developed the form further, introducing Orientalism to the Gothic
mix of horror and mystery, creating the finest European imitation of the 'Arabian Nights'.
With his novel 'Nightmare Abbey', Thomas Love Peacock satirises the format to great comic
effect while still retaining the essential chilling elements. This fantastic collection runs the gamut
of Gothic fiction, presenting an entertaining and a thrilling overview of the genre.

'I was conscious of a most horrible smell of mould, and of a cold kind of face pressed against my
own, and moving slowly over it, and of several - I don't know how many - legs and arms or
tentacles or something clinging to my body.'
M.R. James is probably the finest ghost-story writer England has ever produced. These tales are
not only classics of their genre, but are also superb examples of beautifully-paced
understatement, convincing background and chilling terror.
As well as the preface, there is a fascinating tail-piece by M.R. James, "Stories I Have Tried To
Write", which accompanies these thirty tales.
Among them are 'Casting the Runes', 'Oh, Whistle and I'll come to you, My Lad', 'The Tractate
Middoth', 'The Ash Tree' and 'Canon Alberic's Scrapbook'.
"There are some authors one wishes one had never read in order to have the joy of reading
them for the first time. For me, M.R. James is one of these." - . Ruth Rendall
AUTHOR:
M(ontague) R(hodes) James (1862-1936), the son of a Kent curate, enjoyed a glittering
academic career, and was acknowledged as a leading authority on medieval manuscripts and
biblical apocrypha. By way of diversion, over a period of time he wrote thirty four of what are
acknowledged to be the best ghost stories ever written. The passing of time does not lessen their
popularity or their ability to chill, and our edition of 'Collected Ghost Stories' remains the

RRP: $12.95
9HSLIOA*ccffcf+
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was one of the great masters of Victorian of mystery and
horror fiction, and can be regarded as the father of the modern ghost story. 'In a Glass Darkly'
(1872), one of his most celebrated volumes, purports to be the casebook of Dr Hesselius, a
pioneer psychologist.
These five tales represent some of Le Fanu's most accomplished work, which rises above the
staid conventions of the age. Although drawing on Gothic conventions - the book features both
ghosts and vampires - Le Fanu redefined the parameters of supernatural fiction. He had little
interest in the crude depiction of other worldly phenomena in order to provide the reader with a
pleasurable frisson of fear. Le Fanu concern rather lay in the examination of the results of
supernatural experience on the psyche of his protagonist, in this he paved the way for the work
of Henry James and M. R. James.
This volume is an indispensable cornerstone of modern horror and remains one of the finest
collections of unsettling fiction in the language.
AUTHOR:
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 - 1873) was an Irish novelist and short story writer. A
moderately successful writer during his lifetime, he slipped into obscurity after his death, until the
writer M.R. James published a collection of his stories under the title of 'Madam Crowl and Other
Tales of Mystery'. The success of the book led to greater popularity for a further collection, 'In a
Glass Darkly', and the novels 'The House by the Churchyard' and 'Uncle Silas'.

9HSLIOA*ccgeda+
Introduction by David Stuart Davies
"A grey cloud formed on the summit of the altar, diminishing, thickening and turning into a
Shape, a shape of evil and fear. The silent group by the fire once more broke forth into wild
gesticulations and cries, Stella prostrated herself, the Form on the altar grew clearer and with a
cry of horror Mr Fowke turned away and rushed madly across the moor".
Amyas Northcote's 'In Ghostly Company' is a rare and splendid collection of strange and
disturbing tales from the golden age of ghost stories. His style is akin to that of the master of the
genre M.R. James: it is measured and insidiously suggestive, producing unnerving chills rather
than shocks and gasps. Northcote’s tales make the reader unsettled and uneasy. This is partly
due to the fact that the hauntings or strange occurrences take place in natural or mundane
surroundings – surroundings familiar to the reader but never before thought of as unusual or
threatening. Long out of print, this book remains an enthralling and chilling read.
AUTHOR:
Amyas Northcote (1864–1923) was an English writer, and the son of the First Earl of Iddesleigh,
who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer under Disraeli. A wealthy investment banker,
Northcote wrote articles for popular magazines in his spare time, and published one book, 'In
Ghostly Company'. Copies of the book became collector's items for lovers of the ghost story, and
the title was revived by Wordsworth in 2010.

"The thing came abruptly and unannounced; a demon, rat-like, scurrying from pits remote and
unimaginable, a hellish panting and stifled grunting, and then from that opening beneath the
chimney a burst of multitudinous and leprous life - a loathsome night-spawned flood of organic
corruption more devastatingly hideous than the blackest conjurations of mortal madness and
morbidity."
Only the expansive imagination of H.P. Lovecraft could conceive the delicious and spine-tingling
horrors you will find within the pages of this unique collection. In addition to such classics as 'The
Picture in the House', 'The Music of Erich Zann' and 'The Rats in the Walls', this volume contains
some fascinating rarities: examples of Lovecraft's earliest weird fiction and material unpublished
during his lifetime.
H.P. Lovecraft's creation of the Cthulhu Mythos has influenced many modern authors, and still
remains at the forefront of supernatural literature.
AUTHOR:
H. P. Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) is widely considered the twentieth century's most important writer

Gothic terror, and elaborate concocted mythology.

"Moving, his candle was instantly extinguished, and in the very moment of being left in the
darkness he saw, standing in the doorway, a woman, resembling her who had haunted his
dream overnight. He rushed with outstretched hands to seize her, but clutched only air."
'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,
take the reader on fearful journeys into the gloomy haunts of old neglected houses, into a world
of prophetic dreams, out onto the wild terrain of Ireland to encounter a frightful banshee and
even down into Hell itself.
In these fourteen short stories and one novella, 'The Uninhabited House', there is the distillation
of the best and most effective of Riddell's spine-tingling supernatural fiction.
AUTHOR:
Mrs J.H. Riddell was the pen name of Charlotte Eliza Lawson Riddell (nee Lawson) (1832 - 1906)

"… the shadow turned round; and I saw a terrible death's-head, which darted a look at me from

Erik, the Phantom of the Paris Opera House, is one of the great icons of horror literature. This
tormented and disfigured creature has made his home in the labyrinthine cellars of this opulent
building where he can indulge in his great passion for music, which is a substitute for the love
and emotion denied him because of his ghastly appearance.
It is in the Opera House that he encounters Christine Daae whom he trains in secret to become a
great singer. Erik’s passionate obsession with a beautiful woman beyond his reach is doomed and
leads to the dramatic tragic finale.
Gaston Leroux's novel is a marvellous blend of detective story, romance and spine-tingling terror
which has fascinated readers ever since the work was first published.

Introduction by Kathryn White
"I thought I saw a human face, about the most terrible my fancy could have called up, looking
fixedly into the room. The face gazed towards the bed, and in the imperfect light looked like a
livid mask, with chalky eyes."
Master of the ghost story genre M.R. James commented that the, "final terrific murder-scene
and escape can hardly be forgotten" by those who have read Uncle Silas.
Neither does the opening disappoint. As the November winds wail in ivied chimneys we are
drawn into a Victorian Gothic atmosphere of menacing, sombre gloom and ebony shadows.
Sheridan Le Fanu leaves us in no doubt that we are in for a feast of exciting drama, luring us
into the intensely claustrophobic world of the nineteenth century sensational novel.
Le Fanu is amongst the top-notch exponents of the creepy, the criminal and the oppressive. In
this tale of the orphaned teenage heiress Maud Ruthyn, fearing for her life at the hands of her
sinister uncle, he has created a rattling good plot with the depth of a social novel and the power
of high romance.

Wilde's works are suffused with his aestheticism, brilliant craftsmanship, legendary wit and,
ultimately, his tragic muse. He wrote tender fairy stories for children employing all his grace,
artistry and wit, of which the best-known is 'The Happy Prince'. Counterpoints to this were his
novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', which shocked and outraged many readers of his day, and his
stories for adults which exhibited his fascination with the relations between serene art and
decadent life. Wilde took London by storm with his plays, particularly his masterpiece 'The
Importance of Being Earnest'.
His essays - in particular 'De Profundis' - and his 'Ballad of Reading Gaol', both written after his
release from prison, strikingly break the bounds of his usual expressive range. His other essays
and poems are all included in this comprehensive collection of the works of one of the most
exciting writers of the late nineteenth century.
AUTHOR:
Wilde was born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin to unconventional parents - his mother Lady Jane
Francesca Wilde (1820-96), was a poet and journalist. His father was Sir William Wilde, an Irish
antiquarian, gifted writer, and specialist in diseases of the eye and ear. Wilde studied at Portora
Royal School, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh (1864-71), Trinity College, Dublin (1871-74) and
Magdalen College, Oxford (1874-78).
"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.

wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and
believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first
published. Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of
Catherine Morland in "Northanger Abbey"; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price
struggling to cope with her emotions in "Mansfield Park"; her delightfully paced comedy of
manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in "Sense and Sensibility"; the
quiet strength of Anne Elliot in "Persuasion" succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very
existence; and Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another
irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight.Indeed not unlike her renowned
creator, Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention and
prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose.
AUTHOR:
Jane Austen (16 December 1775–18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works include
Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and
Persuasion. Her social commentary and masterful use of both free indirect speech and irony
eventually made Austen one of the most influential and honoured novelists in English literature.
Her novels were all written and set around the Regency Era. She never married and died at age
41.

The Complete Stories of
Sherlock Holmes

Binding: Hardcover

RRP: $39.99
9HSLIOA*ccahgg+
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.

The Selected Works of

Author: LAWRENCE D H
ISBN: 9781840224948
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 1360
RRP: $24.95
9HSLIOA*ccejei+
This selection of Lawrence's work underlines the intensity and innovation that made him one of
the most distinctive and important of twentieth-century writers.
'Sons and Lovers' - semi-autobiographical, is a powerful exploration of family, class, sexuality
and the suffocating relationships of a man with a demanding mother and two very different
lovers.
'Women in Love' - perhaps Lawrence's most mature novel, was met with disgust by the critics,
seeing only a sorry tale of sexual depravity in the love of the sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, for
Rupert and Gerald.
'Lady Chatterley's Lover' - Lawrence's novel, written in poetic and sexually explicit language,
deals with the passionate relationship between Lady Constance Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, her
emotionally and physically crippled husband's forthright and powerfully masculine gamekeeper. A
watershed in twentieth-century literary fiction, its sensational content has earned the novel an
enduring readership and notoriety.
Other stories featured in this volume include 'The Captain's Doll,' 'The Fox', 'The Ladybird', 'St
Mawr, The Princess', 'The Virgin and the Gypsy 'and 'The Escaped Cock'.
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.

Selected Works of Virginia Woolf

9HSLIOA*ccgjdf+
MRS DALLOWAY, the society hostess Clarissa, is giving a party and her thoughts on that one
day, and the interior monologues of others with interwoven lives reveal the characters of the
central protagonists.
TO THE LIGHTHOUSE is the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf's novels. Based on her early
experiences, it touches on childhood and children's perceptions and desires. It is at its most
trenchant when exploring adult relationships and the changing class-structure in the period
spanning the Great War.
Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO, 'the longest and most charming love letter in literature,' playfully
constructs the figure of Orlando as the fictional embodiment of Woolf's close friend and lover,
Vita Sackville-West.
'I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot', said Woolf of THE WAVES. Regarded as one of her
greatest and most original works, it conveys the rhythms of life in synchrony with the cycle of
nature and the passage of time.
In these, as in A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN, BETWEEN THE ACTS, THREE GUINEAS, THE YEARS and
JACOB'S ROOM, Virginia Woolf displays her genuine humanity and concern for the experiences
that enrich and stultify existence. Her delicate artistry and lyrical prose have established her as a
writer of sensitivity and profound talent.
AUTHOR:
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century. An

'The Divine Comedy' tells of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both
Dante himself and Everyman through the three realms of the Christian afterlife: Hell, Purgatory
and Heaven. He presents a vision of the afterlife which is strikingly original in its conception, with
a complex architecture and a coherent structure. On this journey Dante’s protagonist – and his
reader – meet characters who are variously noble, grotesque, beguiling, fearful, ridiculous,
admirable, horrific and tender, and through them he is shown the consequences of sin,
repentance and virtue, as he learns to avoid Hell and, through cleansing in Purgatory, to taste
the joys of Heaven.
AUTHOR:
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European
Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet Divine was added by later admirers) in exile from
his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the
same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in
the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work.

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 880
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*cchdcb+
Notes and Introduction by Mark G. Spencer, Brock University, Ontario
John Locke (1632-1704) was perhaps the most influential English writer of his time. His 'Essay
concerning Human Understanding'(1690) and 'Two Treatises of Government' (1690) weighed
heavily on the history of ideas in the eighteenth century, and Locke's works are often - rightly presented as foundations of the Age of Enlightenment. Both the 'Essay 'and the 'Second Treatise'
(by far the more influential of the Two Treatises) were widely read by Locke’s contemporaries
and near contemporaries. His eighteenth-century readers included philosophers, historians and
political theorists, but also community and political leaders, engaged laypersons, and others
eager to participate in the expanding print culture of the era. His epistemological message that
the mind at birth was a blank slate, waiting to be filled, complemented his political message that
human beings were free and equal and had the right to create and direct the governments under
which they lived. Today, Locke continues to be an accessible author. He provides food for
thought to university professors and their students, but has no less to offer the general reader
who is eager to enjoy the classics of world literature.
AUTHOR:
John Locke (1632-1704) was considered the father of Classical Liberalism. His 'An Essay
Concerning Human Understanding' was a milestone in the developing comprehension of the
human 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.

9HSLIPD*cgeicf+
Translated by J.J. Graham, revised by F.N. Maude
Abridged and with an Introduction by Louise Willmot
'On War' is perhaps the greatest book ever written about war. Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian
soldier, had witnessed at first hand the immense destructive power of the French Revolutionary
armies which swept across Europe between 1792 and 1815. His response was to write a
comprehensive text covering every aspect of warfare.
'On War' is both a philosophical and practical work in which Clausewitz defines the essential
nature of war, debates the qualities of the great commander, assesses the relative strengths of
defensive and offensive warfare, and - in highly controversial passages - considers the
relationship between war and politics. His arguments are illustrated with vivid examples drawn
from the campaigns of Frederick the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte.
For the student of society as well as the military historian, 'On War' remains a compelling and
indispensable source.
AUTHOR:
Carl von Clausewitz (1780 - 1831) was a Prussian professional soldier, who achieved fame as a
military theorist, and his classic work, 'On War', has become one of the most inflential books on
the philosophy of warfare.

RRP: $16.95
9HSLIPD*cgegij+
With an Introduction by Professor Stuart Sim.
John Bunyan was variously a tinker, soldier, Baptist minister, prisoner and writer of outstanding
narrative genius which reached its apotheosis in this, his greatest work. It is an allegory of the
Christian life of true brilliance and is presented as a dream which describes the pilgrimage of the
hero - Christian - from the City of Destruction via the Slough of Despond, the Hill of Difficulty,
the Valley of the Shadow of Death and Vanity Fair over the River of the Water of Life and into
the Celestial City.
'The Pilgrim's Progress' has been translated into 108 languages, was a favourite of Dr Johnson
and was praised by Coleridge as one of the few books which might be read repeatedly and each
time with a new and different pleasure.
AUTHOR:
The father of John Bunyan (1628-1688) was a tinker, a mender of pots. John served as an
officer at Newport Pagnell garrison 1644-1647 as the civil was ending its first stage. In 1650 he
married and in January of 1661 he was incarcerated for the crimes of "pertinaciously abstaining"
from attending mandatory Anglican church services and preaching at "unlawful meetings". It was
during this time that he conceived his allegorical novel: 'The Pilgrim's Progress'. As he was riding
to London from Reading to resolve a disagreement between a father and a son, he caught a cold
and developed a fever. He died at the house of his friend, John Strudwick, a grocer and chandler
on Snow Hill in Holborn Bridge on 31 August 1688.

Translated by C.E.Detmold
With an Introduction by Lucille Margaret Kekewich
Written in 1513 for the Medici, following their return to power in Florence, The Prince is a
handbook on ruling and the exercise of power. It remains as relevant today as it was in the
sixteenth century. Widely quoted in the Press and in academic publications, The Prince has direct
relevance to the issues of business and corporate governance confronting global corporations as
they enter a new millennium.
Much of what Machiavelli wrote has become the common currency of realpolitik, yet still his ideas
retain the power to shock and annoy. In the words of Norman Stone, The Prince is "a manual of
man-management that would suit a great many parts of the modern world".
AUTHOR:
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) remains one of the most controversial figures of political

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 480
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*ccbcbd+
'Sentimental Education' has been described both as the first modern novel and as a novel to end
all novels. Weaving a poignant love story into his account of the 1848 revolution, Flaubert shows
a society in the grip of stereotypes, on every level. There is something farcical in his depiction of
characters who aspire to act but are dogged by cliche at every turn.
To a greater extent even than Madame Bovary, 'Sentimental Education' is an indictment of
modern consumerism, contrasting the hollowness of material achievement with the lasting
beauty of the ideal. Flaubert's study of success and failure offers us a terrible sadness in a
terrible beauty, yet is one of the world's great comic masterpieces.
AUTHOR:
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) achieved instant success and fame, indeed notoriety, with his first
novel, ‘Madam Bovary’, published in 1857. He was prosecuted on the basis that the novel was
‘offensive to public morality and religion’. Although found not guilty, Flaubert earned a lecture
from the judge on the dangers of ‘realism’. The book was a huge success, and Flaubert came to
be considered one of the great novelists of Western literature.

Twelve Years a Slave
Author: NORTHUP SOLOMON
ISBN: 9781840225877
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 501
RRP: $16.95
9HSLIOA*ccfihh+
With an Introduction by Colin Harrison, Lecturer in American Literature at Liverpool John Moores
University.
'I was sitting upon a low bench, made of rough boards, and without coat or hat. I was
handcuffed. Around my ankles also were a pair of heavy fetters. One end of a chain was
fastened to a large ring in the floor, the other to fetters on my ankles . . . Then did the idea
begin to break upon my mind, at first dim and confused, that I had been kidnapped.'
Solomon Northup's kidnap in 1841 tore him away from a life of relative comfort as a free-born
African-American farmer and violinist in New York, and marked the beginning of twelve years
enslavement in the plantations of the Deep South. His narrative, published on his escape, was an
important testimony for the abolitionist movement and became a bestseller before falling into
obscurity for a century. Recovered in 1968, the book is valued by historians for its rare insights
into the slave economy and by readers of all kinds for its moving account of the struggle against
a dehumanizing system.
'Twelve Years' is combined in this volume with the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass,
social reformer, orator, writer and statesman, who was for many the living disproof of the
argument that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as American citizens.
AUTHOR:
Solomon Northup (July 1808–1863) was an American abolitionist and the author of the memoir
'Twelve Years a Slave'. He was born a free African American in New York, however, at the age
of 33, he was kidnapped by slave traders, having been enticed to Washington D.C. (where
slavery was legal) with a job offer as a violinist with travelling entertainers.
In his first year of freedom, Northup wrote and published his memoir, Twelve Years a Slave
(1853). He lectured on behalf of the abolitionist movement, giving more than two dozen
speeches throughout the Northeast about his experiences, to build momentum against slavery.
He disappeared in 1857 (although a letter later reported him alive in early 1863); some
commentators thought he had been kidnapped again, but historians believe it unlikely, as he
would have been considered too old to bring a good price. The details of his death have never
been known or documented.
Northup's memoir was adapted and produced as the 1984 PBS television movie entitled Solomon
Northup's Odyssey, and the 2013 was brought to life on the big screen as a feature film named
12 Years a Slave. The latter won an Academy Award in 2014 for Best Picture.

Walden and Civil Disobedience

Binding: Paperback
Pages: 400
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,

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was one of the brightest stars of the eighteenth-century Scottish
Enlightenment. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the 'Wealth of Nations' was his most
important book. First published in London in March 1776, it had been eagerly anticipated by
Smith's contemporaries and became an immediate bestseller. That edition sold out quickly and
others followed. Today, Smith's 'Wealth of Nations' rightfully claims a place in the Western
intellectual canon. It is the first book of modern political economy, and still provides the
foundation for the study of that discipline. But it is much more than that. Along with important
discussions of economics and political theory, Smith mixed plain common sense with large
measures of history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and much else. Few texts remind us so
clearly that the Enlightenment was very much a lived experience, a concern with improving the
human condition in practical ways for real people. A masterpiece by any measure, 'Wealth of
Nations' remains a classic of world literature to be usefully enjoyed by readers today.

Late in 1938, the German Navy Supreme Command commissioned a report into the combat
effectiveness of its airborne divisions. As a result of its findings, the German High Command
instigated a major construction program for planes with a specifically maritime role:
carrier-borne, reconnaissance, mine laying and most importantly, long-range units were all
developed.
In this volume of the outstanding Luftwaffe at War series, Manfred Griehl showcases a
photo-history of the development of the Kriegsmarine airborne capability from the early Condor
missions to the introduction of Me 262 A-1a jet fighters in 1944.
More than a hundred rarely seen pictures illustrate the gradual turning of the tide against
Germany in the war for the skies over the Atlantic: as the German war machine struggled to
match demand for aircraft, so the pilots attempting to control crucial supply routes struggled to
compete with mounting allied technical and numerical superiority.
AUTHOR:
Manfred Griehl was a respected historian with a unique photographic archive, specializing in
Luftwaffe operations of World War II. His many publications include X- Planes: German Luftwaffe
Prototypes 1930–1945 and Luftwaffe over America: The Secret Plans to Bomb the United States
in World War II.
SELLING POINTS:
• This superb illustrated series charts the rise and fall of the German Air Force from 1939 to
1945.

'The Battle of Britain: Portraits of the Few' is an exceptional tribute to the small group of
legendary pilots that served with the Royal Air Force through one of the most critical periods of
the Second World War. Portraits of the Few contains over 60 colour illustrations, capturing the
images and character of the military aviators who were designated the 'Few' by British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill. Accompanying the portraits, painted by artist David Pritchard, are
action filled accounts written by Second World War aviation author Christopher Yeoman,
recounting gripping combats and ferocious encounters as the respective men successfully resist
the might of the Luftwaffe.
Indeed the aerial battle fought during the long and glorious summer of 1940 is now viewed as
one of the most decisive episodes in all of British history. Each and every day proved
consequential, ultimately shaping the island's future. It was a struggle which will never be
forgotten by the wartime population of Great Britain; it will never be forgotten for generations to
come. 'The Battle of Britain: Portraits of the Few' celebrates the airmen’s legacy and is a unique
tribute to this group of extraordinary men.
Battle of Britain fighter pilot Squadron Leader Geoffrey Wellum DFC on receiving his own
portrait: "Thank you so very much for the truly excellent water colour, the likeness is
remarkable. I was touched and became slightly emotional when I first opened the box and there
I was looking back at myself all those years ago."

From the Greek professional armies of Alexander, through the Hundred Years War, to today,
mercenaries have been ever-present, their role constantly evolving. In this compelling history
William Urban takes up their captivating and turbulent story from 1550 to 1789: from the Wars
of Religion to the eve of the French Revolution.
The 16th century saw increasing sophistication in European politics and commerce, religious and
scientific thought, and military technology. Everywhere professionals became more important.
Mercenaries are often considered a marginal phenomenon, but Urban shows that as military
professionals they contributed significantly to the development of the modern state. By the
mid-1700s military service had become a profession. The old-fashioned mercenary was less
common, but he would not disappear until swept away by the volunteer armies of the French
Revolution. Money gave way, temporarily, to patriotism.
'Bayonets for Hire' is an engaging study of war and conquest in early modern Europe and a
highly recommended addition to any military history library.

William Urban is the Lee L. Morgan Professor of History at Monmouth College, Illinois, USA. He is

In 1914 Britain was home to at least 10,000 black Britons, many of African and West Indian
heritage. Most of them were loyal to the 'mother country' when the First World War broke out.
Despite being discouraged from serving in the British Army, men managed to join all branches of
the forces, while black communities contributed to the war effort on the home front. By 1918 it is
estimated that Britain's black population had trebled to 30,000, as many black servicemen who
had fought for Britain decided to make it their home. It was far from a happy ending, however,
as they and their families often came under attack from white ex-servicemen and civilians
increasingly resentful of their presence. With first-hand accounts and original photographs, Black
Poppies is the essential guide to the military and civilian wartime experiences of black men and
women, from the trenches to the music halls. It is intended as a companion to Stephen Bourne's
previous books published by The History Press: Mother Country: Britain's Black Community on
the Home Front 1939-45 and The Motherland Calls: Britain's Black Servicemen and Women
1939-45.

With an average age of just twenty-two, the young airmen of the Royal Air Force's Bomber
Command, all volunteers, began operating within minutes of the start of the Second World War.
Continually, through to May 1945, the aircrews, with the odds heavily against them, fought in
defiance of Nazi aggression. They defended the British Isles against invasion, they took the war
directly back to Germany, they supported the Allied land campaigns, they opposed the enemy
Navy and U-boat threats, and they countered the German V-weapon offensives. But the cost
was high. From this multi-national force, made up of British airmen, Canadians, Australians, New
Zealanders, South Africans, Rhodesians, Indians, Poles, Czechs, French, Americans and
Jamaicans, a staggering 55,573 airmen would lose their lives, 9,838 would become prisoners of
war and a further 8,403 would suffer wounds.
Fighting High Publishing brings together notable military aviation authors to tell the stories of
some of those who 'failed to return' from operations. The carefully selected stories demonstrate
the diversity of operational duties undertaken by the aircrews, whilst highlighting the extremes of
danger they faced, often day after day and night after night. Most would not survive their
ordeal, and many others would see out the war incarcerated in an enemy POW camp.
The authors, drawing upon surviving veteran accounts, family archives, official documents,
wartime memoirs and letters, flying logbooks, and relative and witness recollections, piece
together the extraordinary, gripping, yet ultimately tragic events surrounding the losses
described. Illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs and documents,
'Bomber Command – Failed to Return' ensures that the memory of all the young men, some
would even say boys, who sacrificed all, is kept alive.

The fast and formidably-armed battlescruisers of Great Britain and Germany that were
developed before and during the First World War are, in this new book, compared and
contrasted in a way, and at a level of detail, that has never been attempted before.
The authors begin by looking at the relationship and rivalry between Great Britain and Germany
and at how
foreign policy, strategic and tactical considerations, economic, industrial and technological
developments, and naval policies led to the instigation of programmes in both countriess.
Chapters are then devoted to the development of the type in each country, to their design and
construction, protection, propulsion plants, weapons, fire control, and communication systems,
focussing particularly on the innovative aspects of the designs and on their strengths and
weaknesses.
These ships eventually clashed in the North Sea at Dogger Bank, in January 1915, and while
neither side suffered losses, the differences in their design and handling were apparent,
differences that would be more starkly highlighted a year later at Jutland when three British
ships were destroyed. These actions, and others they took part in, are described and assessed
by the authors who then conclude by analysing their strengths and limitations. This is a major
new work for naval enthusiasts everywhere.

British Concentration Camps

Binding: Hardcover

Category: Military
RRP: $65.00
9HSLERD*iegcjg+
For many of us, the very expression 'Concentration Camp' is inextricably linked to Nazi Germany
and the horrors of the Holocaust. The idea of British concentration camps is a strange and
unsettling one. It was however the British, rather than the Germans, who were the chief driving
force behind the development and use of concentration camps in the Twentieth Century.
The operation by the British army of concentration camps during the Boer War led to the deaths
of tens of thousands of children from starvation and disease. More recently, slave-labourers
confined in a nationwide network of camps played an integral role in Britain's post-war
prosperity. In 1947, a quarter of the country's agricultural workforce were prisoners in labour
camps.
Not only did the British government run their own concentration camps, they willingly acquiesced
in the setting up of such establishments in the United Kingdom by other countries. During and
after the Second World War, the Polish government-in-exile maintained a number of camps in
Scotland where Jews, communists and homosexuals were imprisoned and sometimes killed.
This book tells the terrible story of Britain's involvement in the use of concentration camps, which
did not finally end until the last political prisoners being held behind barbed wire in the United
Kingdom were released in 1975. This book details some of the most shocking and least known
events in British history.

'The British Expeditionary Force - The 1915 Campaign' is a thorough account of the BEF's actions
during the battles of 1915 and early 1916, starting with the success at Neuve Chapelle in March
and the nightmare gas attack at Ypres in April. It follows their back-to-back failures at Aubers
and Festubert before the British used gas at Loos in September and the minor engagements of
the early months of 1916. Each major battle and minor action is reconstructed in graphic detail
and given equal treatment through the compiling of information from the Official History and
printed histories, resulting in a balanced view of the most-talked-about side of the campaign the British side. Detailed throughout is the reasoning behind each battle and the objectives, and
there is discussion about how the infantry, the artillery, the cavalry and engineers worked
together, often learning new techniques after bloody mistakes, with insights into the successes
and failures of each attack. Together the narrative and over sixty new maps, that chart the
day-by-day progress of each battle and action, provide a unique insight into the British Army's
experience during those difficult days of 1915 and early 1916, as it came to terms the art of the
offensive. Where possible the brave men who made a difference are commemorated; those who
led the attacks, those who faced overwhelming counter attacks and those who were awarded the
Victoria Cross. Through this wide-ranging, up-to-date and balanced account of this catastrophic
conflict, the real 1915 campaign experienced by the British Army and how its brave soldiers
fought hard to achieve their objectives is explored.

Originally published in 1970 and out of print for nearly thirty years, this book has already earned
its place as a classic of submarine history by an author with an international reputation for being
second-to-none in evoking the claustrophobic horror of war beneath the waves. Accurate in
detail, yet written with humanity and humour, it tells the story of Britain's pioneer submarines
during the 1914-1918 War during which their crews battled courageously in atrocious conditions
against a skilled and ruthless enemy and an equally unforgiving sea.
2001 marks the centenary of Britain's Submarine Service introduced into the Royal Navy in the
face of opposition from virtually every flag officer in the fleet. The dedicated enthusiasts who
made up their crews were derided as members of 'The Trade' but they fought the Edwardian
Naval Establishment as fiercely as they were later to fight the enemy; And Victory was their
reward on both occasions.
Freshly illustrated, this second edition is a timely tribute to the gallant pioneers who created the
legacy of dogged courage, determination, and standards of excellence which remain the proud
hallmarks of the Royal Navy's submarine service today.
AUTHOR:

'Escaping Hitler' is the true story, covering ninety years, of a fourteen-year-old boy Gunter Stern
who, when Adolf Hitler threatened his family, education and future, resolved to escape from his
rural village of Nickenich in the German Rhineland. In July 1939 Gunter boarded a bus to the
border with Luxembourg, illegally crossed the river and walked alone for seven days through
Belgium into Holland, intent on catching a ferry to England and freedom. The outcome was not
exactly as he had planned.
The author gathered her information through interviews with Gunter, now known as Joe Stirling,
and with those closest to him. During an emotional 'foot-stepping' journey in September 2013
the author visited Gunter's birthplace, met with a school friend, discovered the apartment in
Koblenz where he fled following Kristallnacht in 1938, drove the route of Gunter's walk through
Europe and retraced the final steps of his parents prior to their deportation to a Nazi death camp
in Poland during 1942.

This superb illustrated series charts the rise and fall of the German Air Force from 1939 to 1945.
Each volume makes use of over a hundred rare and valuable photographs, many of them taken
by Luftwaffe personnel, to bring history to life and record both the men and the aircraft they
flew.
Initial success in Russia during the summer of 1941 gave way to desperate days after Stalingrad
and the failure of Germany's last major offensive in 1943. Subsequently the Luftwaffe was
stripped of its newest fighters for the defense of the Reich and lost air superiority to the Red Air
Force.
This new addition to the outstanding Luftwaffe at War series examines the crucial air campaign
over the Eastern Front through 120 specially selected and informatively captioned photographs.
Unusual scenes include bombed-out Russian aircraft abandoned during the initial German
advance and the use of horses and oxen to haul supplies and even aircraft, as fuel became
scarce toward the end of the war. Several pictures of aircraft operated by the Germans'
Romanian allies add further insights into the Luftwaffe in the East.

Manfred Griehl was a respected historian with a unique photographic archive, specializing in
Luftwaffe operations of World War II. His many publications include' X- Planes: German
Luftwaffe Prototypes 1930–1945' and' Luftwaffe over America: The Secret Plans to Bomb the
United States in World War II'.

From the American Revolution to the present day, African Americans have stepped forward in
their nation's defence. This book breathes new vitality into a stirring subject, emphasising the
role men who have come to be known as "buffalo soldiers" played in opening the
Trans-Mississippi West. This concise overview reveals a cast of characters as big as the land they
served. Over 150 images painstakingly gathered nearly a half century from public and private
collections enhance the written word as windows to the past. Now, 150 years after Congress
authorised blacks to serve in the Regular Army the reader literally can peer into the eyes of
formerly enslaved men who bravely bought their freedom on the bloody battlefields of the Civil
War, then trekked westward, carried the "Stars and Stripes" to the Caribbean, and pursued
Pancho Villa into Mexico with John "Black Jack" Pershing.

Fortress Island Malta

Binding: Hardcover
Pages: 240
Category: Military
RRP: $80.00
9HSLHSD*egddcj+
The introduction of Italy into the Second World War on 10 June 1940 signalled the start of the
siege of Malta, and for the next two and a half years the Axis powers did all they could to batter
the small island into submission. Malta's defences were initially verging on non-existent but the
British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, could not give up on the island. Laying at the crossroads
of the Mediterranean, where the supply route between Italy and the Axis armies in Libya crossed
the Allied sea route between Gibraltar and Alexandria, almost exactly at its mid-point, Malta was
strategically too important and held the key to the door of the desert war being fought in North
Africa.
If Malta could be held then it would allow British forces to maintain an offensive capability in the
Mediterranean and prevent Axis supplies from reaching North Africa. But everything needed to
fight a campaign – people, food, fuel, ammunition, medical stores, aircraft and spares – would
have to be delivered to Malta in sufficient numbers and on a regular basis. It would take a
monumental air and maritime effort just to survive, let alone hit back, and to manage both
would require those in command to carefully balance Malta's precious and limited resources.
Otherwise, it meant surrender and who knows what the outcome of the Second World War might
have been had the island have fallen. Here, the accomplished military author Peter Jacobs tells
the extraordinary story of the heroic defence and re-supply of the Fortress Island of Malta during
the longest siege in British history.
AUTHOR:
Peter Jacobs served in the Royal Air Force for thirty-six years as an air defence navigator on the
F4 Phantom and Tornado F3, after which he completed staff tours at HQ 11 Group, HQ Strike
Command, the Ministry of Defence and the RAF College Cranwell.
SELLING POINTS:
• Relays the extraordinary story of the heroic defence and re-supply of the Fortress Island of
Malta during the longest siege in British history.

In four and a half years of fighting on the Western Front during the First World War a few battles
stand out from the rest. They had a decisive impact on the course of the conflict, and they still
define the war for us today. For the French, the Battle of Verdun, fought between February and
December 1916, was one of the greatest of these. That is why the selection of contemporary
photographs Ian Sumner has brought together for this volume in the Images of War series is so
important and revealing. They show the strained, sometimes shocked faces of the soldiers,
record the shattered landscape in which they fought, and give us an insight into the sheer
intensity of the fighting. At the time, and ever since, the battle has been portrayed as a triumph
of French tenacity and heroism that is encapsulated in the famous phrase 'They shall not pass'.
These photographs remind us, in the most graphic way, what that slogan meant in terms of the
devastating personal experience of the men on the Verdun battlefield.

For many years the Home Front was the Cinderella of the Great War. However, in recent years it
has been acknowledged for the essential part it played in the successful prosecution of the war
for the Allies. The same factors were at play in each of the warring states, but each reacted in its
own ways to the demands. This book builds upon 'The Home Front in the Great War', published
in 2003, providing a fully illustrated account of every aspect of the civilian war. Much of it based
around the experiences of two completely different places, Hull and Reading, showing that the
experience of war was equally as hard and banal for both. The illustrations are usefully grouped
into themes allowing the reader to compare life in different countries. A wealth of material is also
included from across the United Kingdom, making this a book that will be of national interest.
Much of the material included has not been seen since it was first published almost 100 years
ago, and many of the photographs have never been in print in this country, and some anywhere
before.Also included are a selection of short articles from local papers, that show exactly what
the general population was feeling and experiencing during the troubled years of the Great War.
What makes this book unique is that it is not only a home front history of Britain, but also a
history of the warring nations and the neutral countries affected.
AUTHOR:
David Bilton is the author of twelve books on Great War subjects, ranging from the 'Hull Pals' to

works as a lecturer for Reading University.

During World War I, the picture postcard was the most important means of communication for
the soldiers in the field and their loved ones at home, with an estimated 30 billion of them sent
between 1914 and 1918. A postcard from home offered the soldier in the trenches a short
escape from their daily hell, while receiving a postcard from a man on the frontline was literally
a sign of life. These postcards create a vivid record of life at home and abroad during the Great
War, both from the messages they carried and the pictures on the cards themselves.
The depiction of the war on the contemporary postcards is extremely diverse: The ways in which
the postcards depict the war differs greatly; from simple enthusiasm, patriotism and propaganda
to humour, satire and bitter hatred. Others portray the wishes and dreams (nostalgia,
homesickness and pin-ups) of the soldiers, the technological developments of the armies, not to
mention the daily life and death on the battlefield, including the horrific reality of piles of bodies
and mass-graves.
Altogether, this extraordinarily vivid contemporary record of the Great War offers a unique and
detailed insight in the minds and mentality of the soldiers and their families who lived and died in
the war to end all wars.

In eleven dramatic years, Anwar Sadat changed history—not just that of Egypt, or of the Middle
East, but of the entire world. As the architect of the 1973 war against Israel, he gained the
support of other Arab nations and inspired the oil embargo that transformed the global economy.
Following the war, however, he forever ended Arab aspirations of unity by making peace with
Israel. Early in his presidency, Sadat jettisoned Egypt's alliance with the Soviet Union and turned
to the United States, thereby giving the West a crucial Cold War victory. Sadat's historic tenure
still resonates in the twenty-first century as the Islamic activists—whom he originally encouraged
but who opposed his conciliatory policy toward Israel and ultimately played a role in his
assassination—continue to foster activism, including the Muslim Brotherhood, today.
AUTHOR:
Thomas W. Lippman was stationed in the Middle East as a journalist during Sadat's presidency
and lived in Egypt in the aftermath of the October War. He knew Sadat personally, but only now,
after the passage of time and the long-delayed release of the U.S. State Department's
diplomatic files, can Lippman assess the full consequences of Sadat's presidency. Hero of the
Crossing provides an eye-opening account of the profound reverberations of one leader's
political, cultural, and economic manoeuvrings and legacy.

Falkland Islanders were the first British people to come under enemy occupation since the
Channel Islanders during the Second World War. This book tells how islanders' warnings were
ignored in London, how their slim defences gave way to a massive invasion, and how they
survived occupation.
While some established a cautiously pragmatic modus vivendi with the occupiers, some Islanders
opted for active resistance. Others joined advancing British troops, transporting ammunition and
leading men to the battlefields. Islanders' leaders and 'trouble makers' faced internal exile, and
whole settlements were imprisoned, becoming virtual hostages.
A new chapter about Falklands history since 1982 reveals that while the Falklands have benefited
greatly from Britain's ongoing commitment to them, a cold war continues in the south Atlantic.
To the annoyance of the Argentines, the islands have prospered, and may now be poised on the
brink of an oil bonanza.
AUTHOR:
Graham Bound was born in the Falkland Islands, where he was the founding editor of the local
newspaper, Penguin News. Although now living in London, he still contributes a regular column to
the paper. He was living in the Falklands at the time of the 1982 invasion, and that experience
led to his first book for Pen and Sword, 'Falkland Islanders at War'. Based on over 100
interviews with Islanders and combatants from both sides, the book tells the story of the
invasion, occupation and conflict from the point of view of the local population. The book was
subsequently updated considerably, and republished by Pen and Sword as Invasion 1982.
SELLING POINTS:
• In this revised and updated edition new accounts have been included of the ways in which the
islanders resisted occupation and did not - hitherto unpublished material describes how a small
minority of islanders threw their lot in with the Argentines
• A final new chapter about Falklands history since 1982 reveals that a cold war continues in the
south Atlantic
• Relations between the Islands and Argentina are as chilly as ever, and nationalistic feelings
over the "Malvinas" have not diminished.

The Truth About the First World War's Greatest Sea Battle
The Royal Navy had ruled the sea unchallenged for 100 years since Nelson triumphed at
Trafalgar. Yet when the Grand Fleet faced the German High Seas Fleet across the grey waters of
the North Sea near Jutland the British battleships and cruisers were battered into a draw, losing
far more men and ships than the enemy.
The Grand Fleet far outnumbered and outgunned the German fleet so something clearly had
gone wrong. The public waited for the official histories of the battle to be released to learn the
truth, but month after month went by with the Admiralty promising, but failing, to publish an
account of Jutland. Questions were raised in Parliament (twenty-two times) yet still no official
report was produced, due to objections from Admiral Beatty.
This led to Admiral Bacon producing his own account of the battle, called The Jutland Scandal in
1925. Two years later the man instructed to write the official report, Rear-Admiral Harper,
decided to publish his account independently, under the title The Truth About Jutland.
Together, these two books lay bare the facts about Jutland and reveal the failings of senior
officers and the distortions of the early historians. Produced as one volume for the first time, this
book tells the truth about the scandal that developed following the largest battle ever fought at
sea.
AUTHOR:
Reginald Hugh Spencer Bacon, from Wiggonholt in West Sussex, joined the Royal Navy in 1877,
at the age of just fourteen or fifteen. He passed away in 1947.
John Ernest Troyte Harper was born in New Zealand on 29 May 1874, joining the Royal Navy in
1888. He died in 1949.
SELLING POINTS:
• The Admiralty refused to publish an account despite public and parliamentary pressure.
• Two officers decided to tell the truth. This is their accounts published together for the first

The Lavi fighter program, the largest weapons-development effort ever undertaken by the State
of Israel, envisioned a new generation of high-performance aircraft. In a controversial strategy,
Israel Aircraft Industries intended to develop and manufacture the fighters in Israel with
American financial support. The sophisticated planes, developed in the mid-1980s, were unique in
design and intended to make up the majority of the Israeli air force. Though considerable
prestige and money were at stake, developmental costs increased and doubts arose as to
whether the Lavi could indeed be the warplane it was meant to be. Eventually the program
became a microcosm for the ambitions, fears, and internal divisions that shaped both the
U.S.-Israeli relationship and Israeli society itself. But the fighter never made it to operational
service, and until now, the full breadth and significance of the Lavi story have never been
examined and presented.
'Lavi: The United States, Israel, and a Controversial Fighter Jet' traces the evolution of the Lavi
fighter from its genesis in the 1970s to its scrapping in August 1987. John W. Golan examines the
roles of Israeli military icons and political leaders such as Ezer Weizman, Ariel Sharon, Menachem
Begin, and Yitzhak Rabin in the program and in relation to their counterparts in the United
States. On the American side, Golan traces the evolution of government policy toward the
program, detailing the complex picture of the U.S. foreign policy apparatus and of U.S.-Israeli
relations in general—from President Reagan's public endorsement of the program on the White
House lawn to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's unremitting attempts to cancel it in
succeeding years.

From Stalemate to Victory: The Battles of Eylau, Heilsberg and Friedland
After Napoleon's humiliation of Prussia, on the battlefield at Jena, the French Emperor turned his
attention to subduing his Russian foe and marched into Poland in the winter of 1806. Six months
later, the Russians had been beaten and brought to the peace table and Napoleon was at the
height of his powers.
In his detailed study of this remarkable episode of Napoleonic history, F. Loraine Petre follows
every move of the campaign. He assesses the defeat of Prussia, analyses the strengths and
weaknesses of both Napoleon's army and that of his Russian opponents, details the bloody battle
of Eylau and describes Napoleon's crushing victory over the Russians at Friedland.
F. Loraine Petre's campaign studies are renowned for their scope, detail and clarity, and
Napoleon's Campaign in Poland, is a brilliant overview of Napoleon's vaunted army confronting
some of its most worthy opponents at a time when Napoleon dominated Europe.
AUTHOR:
Francis Loraine Petre, who was born in 1852, was a British civil servant in India before becoming
a distinguished military historian and student of Napoleonic tactics and strategy. He wrote five
important studies, including the present volume, which have enjoyed enthusiastic popularity since
the time of their writing.
SELLING POINTS:
• An essential Napoleonic War reference and an acknowledged classic.
• A comprehensive study of Napoleon's campaign in Poland.
• A remarkable insight into Napoleon's genius for war.
• Written by one of the finest historians of the Napoleonic age.

The Nisibis War 337 - 363

Binding: Hardcover
Pages: 224
Category: Military
RRP: $80.00

The war of 337-363 (which the author dubs the 'Nisibis War'), was an exception to the traditional
Roman reliance on a strategic offensive to bring about a decisive battle.
Instead, the Emperor Constantius II adopted a defensive strategy and conducted a mobile
defence based upon small frontier (limitanei) forces defending fortified cities, supported by
limited counteroffensives by the Field Army of the East. These methods successfully checked
Persian assaults for 24 years. However, when Julian became emperor his access to greater
resources tempted him to abandon mobile defence in favour of a major invasion aimed at
regime change in Persia. Although he reached the Persian capital, Ctesiphon, he failed to take it,
was decisively defeated in battle and killed. The Romans subsequently resumed and refined the
mobile defence, allowing the Eastern provinces to survive the fall of the Western Empire.
John Harrel applies his personal experience of military command to a strategic, operational,
tactical and logistical analysis of these campaigns and battles, highlighting their long-term
significance.
AUTHOR:
John S Harrel's military career spanned forty years. He enlisted as an officer cadet in the US
Marine Corps in 1971. Upon graduating from California State University Northridge he was
commissioned as a second lieutenant in the USMC. In 1980, he transferred into the California
Army National Guard (a component of the US Army) as a captain, ultimately rising to the rank of
Major General and retiring as Commanding General of the California Army National Guard.
SELLING POINTS:
• Strategic, operational, tactical and logistical analysis of a quarter of century of warfare
between Rome and Persia, from an author with plentiful military command experience.
• Analyses the success of the defensive strategy of Constantius II (which represented a break
with Roman tradition) in resisting sustained Persian pressure for 25 years
• Explains the reasons for the failure of Julian's return to the strategic offensive in 363, the last
time the full might of the whole Roman Empire was directed at the Persians.
• Analyses the evolving organisation and tactics of both the Roman army of the 4th century and
the armies of their Sassanid Persian opponents.

Royal Air Force veteran Wing Commander Richard Pinkham DFC presents the extraordinary and
graphic account of his experiences flying 62 World War Two bombing operations. He tells his
story with candour and without pulling punches, although the occasional humorous anecdote
lightens proceedings. The reader joins Richard in the cockpit of his bomber as he dares the
bursting flak, dives to avoid penetrating searchlights, and wrestles his damaged aircraft home.
Richard served with the Royal Air Force through the entire war, embarking on his operational
career amidst the desperate fight for survival that was the Battle of Britain. He went on to take
part in some of the largest bombing raids ever carried out against Germany. With odds of 5 to 1
against him, Richard, unlike so many of his fellow airmen, lived to tell his story. He was then
posted to North Africa to blast the Axis forces from Tunisia, and finally spent the last year of the
war in the Far East, taking up fascinating accident investigation duties.
'On Wings of Fortune' is an exceptional story by a distinguished and decorated RAF veteran who
flew and fought in the World War Two aerial front line. Acclaimed author Steve Darlow provides
the general context of the bomber war. Richard Pinkham relives his terrifying, gripping and
fascinating story.

The savage Bosnian civil war was ended politically by the Dayton Peace Agreement. But this had
to be implemented on the ground by NATO. How this was done by 2nd Battalion the Light
Infantry is explained in a richly detailed analysis of dangerous missions. The challenges of
military operations in the war-torn Balkans are illustrated with vivid descriptions of operations
and incidents – often in the words of the soldiers themselves. BBC journalist Martin Bell
summarises their role: 'The troops risked their lives to save the lives of others, swept away the
road blocks and restored a minimal peace in Bosnia after three and a half years of war … The
British troops … interpreted their mandates bravely. They made a difference.'

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest collection of scale ship models in
the world, many of which are official, contemporary artefacts made by the craftsmen of the
navy or the shipbuilders themselves, and ranging from the mid seventeenth century to the
present day. As such they represent a three-dimensional archive of unique importance and
authority. Treated as historical evidence, they offer more detail than even the best plans, and
demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like in a way that even the finest marine painter
could not achieve.
This book is the first of a series which will take selections of the best models to tell the story of
specific ship types – in this case, the evolution of the cruising ship under sail. Each volume
reproduces a large number of model photos, all in full colour, and including many close-up and
detail views. These are captioned in depth, but many are also annotated to focus attention on
interesting or unusual features. Although pictorial in emphasis, the book weaves the pictures into
an authoritative text, producing an unusual and attractive form of technical history.
While the series will be of particular interest to ship modellers, all those with an interest in ship
design and development will attracted to the in-depth analysis of these beautifully presented
books.

From 1963 to 1966 Britain successfully waged a secret war to keep the Federation of Malaysia
free from domination by Soekarno's Indonesia and by Chinese Communists. At the forefront of
this campaign were the men of the Special Air Service – the SAS – an elite branch of the British
military whose essence is secrecy and whose tools are boldness, initiative, surprise, and high
skill.
Working in four-man patrols, the SAS teams first made friends with the head-hunting border
tribes and even trained some of them as an irregular military force. As the conflict continued,
SAS teams went beyond the borders into Indonesia, where they tracked down enemy camps,
fired on supply convoys, staged ambushes, and attacked enemy soldiers in their riverboats.
By talking to those who were there, Peter Dickens has recreated what it was really like to fight in
the jungles of Malaysia. He also captures the bravery and relentless pursuit of excellence that
make the SAS the elite and prestigious regiment it is.

After 1500, European warfare was repeatedly revolutionized by new weapons, new methods for
supplying armies in the field, improved fortifications and new tactics for taking fortifications. This
allowed empires to grow, with, for example, the Ottomans expanding into the Middle East and
Africa, Britain dominating India, and Russia conquering the steppe.
The dynamics of resistance to this expansion were remarkably similar to what we see today in
ISIS, Afghan and Pakistani Talibans, and various jihadist groups that are more tribal than
Islamist. The driving force behind these organizations may be tribal resentment of the modern
world undermining long-established traditions and beliefs. Religion – or their interpretation of
Islam – is merely a glue that holds the rebels together.
Such resistance continues to be met by world powers who misunderstand the motives of the
people that take up arms against them, and we should understand that ours is not the first
generation to deal with this problem, and ours will probably not be the last. However, there are
some methods that work better than others. The failures and successes of the past can help us
now and in the future.

An explosive account of the competing spy networks that used neutral Holland as their base in
the First World War
After First World War broke out the port city of Rotterdam in particular became a prolific
breeding ground for secret agents and spies. The neutrality of the Netherlands, its geographical
position in between most powerful warring nations, its proximity to the Western Front meant that
British and German secret services both chose Holland as their main base for spying operations
on each other.
On neutral Dutch ground newly established intelligence services learned the spy trade. Spy Nest
tells the story of the secret agents involved, their Dutch hirelings and the spies they recruited
and sacrificed between August 1914 and November 1918.

'Their Finest Hour' tells the fascinating stories of six of Churchill’s ‘Few', each of whom played an
important part in the Battle of Britain. Celebrated and much respected on their own squadrons,
all have since faded into obscurity. Their achievements, against all odds, and the fortunes of
their comrades-in-arms, many of whom died during the Battle, are told here in detail, some for
the first time. This has been done in an effort to retrieve these stories from obscurity, bringing
them to a wider audience and ensuring they are not forgotten
Featured stories include that of Flying Officer Reginald Peacock DFC, the only Blenheim pilot of
the Second World War to become a fighter ace; Squadron Leader Robert Reid, who flew
throughout the Battle of Britain, having a hand in the destruction of three Bf 109s, and the
damaging of two more; and Pilot Officer Douglas Cyril Winter, who flew Spitfires during the
defence of the Dunkirk Beaches, before taking on the Luftwaffe in the skies over Southern
England.
All these stories offer insights into this dynamic period of aviation history. Recorded here, they
serve as poignant reminders of the efforts of the 'Few' and the contributions that they made to
the Allied effort during the Second World War.

Jutland was the only major fleet engagement to take place during the First World War, and
indeed the only time in history in which columns of great dreadnought battleships fought each
other. In spite of terrible losses of life, the battle did nothing to change the strategic situation in
northern European waters, in fact it simply confirmed Britain’s command of the seas and her
ability to enforce the blockade which was eventually to lead to Germany’s downfall.
This new book examines the strengths and weaknesses of both navies and identifies some of the
reasons for the disappointing performance of the Royal Navy in the battle. Confusion and poor
staff work in the Admiralty led to a failure to make proper use of the vital information gleaned
by Room 40, the brilliant Admiralty intelligence centre, which was able to read German signals
traffic. Many years of totally irrelevant experience and inappropriate disciplines in the Victorian
and Edwardian navies were poor preparation for 20th century warfare, and led to bad decisions
being made by senior officers during the battle. Careless ammunition handling resulted in the
loss of three battle cruisers and over 3,000 deaths. British warships were designed for
world-wide cruising and to project naval might on a global basis, instead of being optimised for
encounters close to home, in the North Sea. By contrast the German fleet performed
magnificently and their ships proved extremely durable, but this was not enough to enable them
to mount a serious challenge to superior British fire power and numbers.
The book argues that the building of the High Seas Fleet was a strategic blunder on the part of
the Germans, who could have forced Britain out of the war completely if they had instead
concentrated on their submarine fleet and on mine-laying.
Admiral Jellicoe, commander of the British Grand Fleet, was in the unenviable position of having
to give overriding priority to keeping his fleet intact, rather than inflicting a crushing defeat on
the enemy. His steadfast pursuit of this objective was to lead to ultimate victory.
AUTHOR:
Jim Crossley read Modern History at Cambridge. He has had a lifelong interest in naval affairs.
He is himself a keen sailor and springs from a family with a long naval tradition. His own father
was a midshipman on the battleship Resolution in 1916 and his mother was a cousin of
Commodore William Goodenough, one of the central figures in the Jutland battle.

Yompers:
With 45 Commando in the Falklands
War
Author: GARDINER IAN
ISBN: 9781473853423
Binding: Paperback
Pages: 224

RRP: $39.99

Called to action on 2 April 1982, the men of 45 Commando Royal Marines assembled from
around the world to sail 8,000 miles to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion.
Lacking helicopters and short of food, they 'yomped' in appalling weather carrying overloaded
rucksacks, across the roughest terrain. Yet for a month in mid- winter, they remained a cohesive
fighting-fit body of men. They then fought and won the highly successful and fierce night battle
for Two Sisters, a 1,000 foot high mountain which was the key to the defensive positions around
Stanley.
This is a firsthand story of that epic feat, but it is much more than that. The first to be written by
a company commander in the Falklands War, the book gives a compelling, vivid description of
the 'yomp' and infantry fighting, and it also offers penetrating insights into the realities of war at
higher levels. It is a unique combination of descriptive writing about frontline fighting and wider
reflections on the Falklands War, and conflict in general.
Gritty and moving; sophisticated, reflective and funny, this book offers an abundance of timeless
truths about war.
Postscript: 'Yomping' was the word used by the Commandos for carrying heavy loads on long
marches. It caught the public's imagination during this short but bitter campaign and epitomised
the grim determination and professionalism of our troops.
AUTHOR:
Ian Gardiner served a full career in the Royal Marines retiring as a Brigadier. Since then he has
written two books (In the Service of the Sultan has sold over 12,000 copies and The Flatpack
Bombers). He lives in Edinburgh and is a defence consultant.
SELLING POINTS:
• A gripping and thrilling insight into service with the elite Royal Marines during the Falklands
War.
• Written by a 45 Commando's company commander who led his 120 men into battle – the first
such account.
• The author already has one bestseller under his belt – In the Service of the Sultan.
• Strong serialisation prospect – Coincides with the 30th Anniversary.

Thom Rouse seems to have an unbridled artistic sensibility. In this book, he offers up for review
sixty of his favourite fine art images. Rouse takes photographers behind the scenes of his
creative process, showing the starting point—always a portrait, captured by him—and then
details the Photoshop tools and techniques he used and, sometimes, some "accessory" images
that he adds into the mix, to create a dramatically different work of art. While the components
and tone of each image vary from page to page, Rouse strictly maintains that his creative
process is based on the idea that each work of art must, at its core, remain photographic. In
other words, his fine art works are enhanced, stylised portraits that transcend the limits typically
self-imposed by portrait artists. His goal in creating the book is to educate and inspire other
photographers—or, in the words of the artist—to "show you something you haven't seen before."
This book features a collection of beautiful portraits that collide with a strange collections of
elements—one portrait, entitled Shhhh, is coupled with ornamental wooden fish, goose wings,
and parts of an aircraft; another, called Andromeda, uses complex Photoshop blending
techniques and texture layers to create a Gustav Klimt-inspired feel in the photograph —to
create a storytelling piece that elevates the portrait to a fine art category. On page after page,
you'll discover how Rouse conceptualised the featured work of art, the steps he took to bring the
concept to life, and the curiously beautiful artistic portrait result.
AUTHOR:
Thom Rouse began his career as a portrait and wedding photographer in 1994. Based near
Chicago, he now divides his time between commercial, fine art and commissioned fine art images
with his clients as the central subject of his pieces. His conceptual fine art images utilize real
world photographs blended and manipulated to create an alternative to real world perception.
Thom also lectures and teaches workshops on topics ranging from Photoshop as an artist's tool,
visual literacy and lighting and posing for figure studies.
SELLING POINTS:
• Readers will learn how to couple "standard" portraits with other images and texture layers to
create bold new portrait concepts.
• Readers will discover some of the strategies the author uses to unlock his creativity and
conceptualise fine art concepts that were never before seen.
• Readers will learn how to choose and use a diversity of image components and combine them
in postproduction to achieve cohesive high art looks.

In their own eloquent words and stunning photographs, Roland and Sabrina Michaud narrate a
lifetime of travel, adventure, and discovery in the world's most remote regions.
Roland and Sabrina Michaud, now in their eighties, have spent most of their lives together
exploring Africa and Asia. Their travels have taken them to far-flung places, including Yemen,
Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey. Throughout their journeys Roland and Sabrina
photographed and wrote about what they saw. This breathtaking account of their travels
features nearly 500 colour images that capture, with sensitivity, curiosity, and delight, the people
they met and the landscapes they traversed. Organized into sections that focus on particular
regions, the book takes readers to the monasteries and villages of China, the tents of Mongolian
nomads, and the black rocks of northern Pakistan. Many of their images are indelible studies of
faces: the weathered faces of Kazakhstani men, their heads wrapped in turbans; or the shy
veiled face of an Iranian mother nursing her child atop a camel as she travels from summer
pastures to the Persian Gulf. Throughout the book the Michauds' eloquent commentary gives
context to these remarkable images and offers their uniquely humane perspective on what it
means to encounter incredible beauty, harsh landscapes, and unfamiliar surroundings. Best of
all, it describes the pleasures of meeting people whose joys, sorrows, and struggles we all share.

Roland and Sabrina Michaud have been traveling together since they met in the late 1950s. Their
work has been exhibited throughout the world and published in National Geographic. They have

As the curious mind will attest, it is an ethereal thrill to discover, revere, and regale the sinuous,
striking feminine form. This visual narrative is celebrated here in this special compendium, The
Great Beauty. These striking images fully embrace the allure and infinite intrigue of
womankind—a daring, intoxicating ode to their esoteric and erotic narcissism. A cast of 11
chosen models and the accompanying production crew made the trek to Ladispoli, Italy, to the
spectacular Paul Getty Villa. This iconic edifice has stood tall along the Sea of Rome since 1640
and, where, after six long days and nights in splendid, idyllic isolation, in cold and adverse
conditions in November 2014, this creative endeavour came to life. These images came to form
by tapping into both the classic and modern elements of photography, as photographer Federico
Pignatelli della Leonessa not only harnessed the conventional, traditional use of the classic
Hasselblad digital camera, but he also fully embraced post-millennial digital video technology in
the form of “The Dragon,” which offers the highest-resolution that exists.
Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa is the founder, owner, and President of the world’s largest and
most acclaimed photo studio complex, Pier 59 Studios, in New York City. Born in Rome, he is
also a passionate collector of artistic photography and a photographer in his own right. Mr.
Pignatelli is also the founder and President of Art and Fashion Group (AFG), a holding company

Dynamic Lighting Design for Location Portrait Photography
Tony Corbell is a legend in portrait photography circles—he is the recipient of stacks of awards
and hosts sold out lectures to photographers from all over the world. He is a portrait artist who
wields unparalleled control over light, producing portraits acclaimed by clients and judges alike.
In this book, he teaches readers what it takes to understand— and manipulate—sunlight and its
effects on image making. In the introduction to his book, Corbell states that there are only a
small number of absolutes when it comes to controlling sunlight. He debunks the commonly held
idea that the sun intensity varies throughout its entire arc across the sky and thereby
immediately instils in readers the confidence that, in understanding basic rules and theories, they
can take exacting control over the lighting effects they produce for their images. Next, Corbell
moves on to discuss light quantity, explaining that an ideal exposure is subject and scene
dependent—it is not always one that a light meter suggests is "right." Readers will learn how to
use the three exposure controls—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—to allow the right amount of
light to strike the sensor and produce an image with a full range of tones, from highlight to
shadow. The backbone of every good image is an appropriate exposure—one in which detail is
preserved in the skin, eyes, and clothing. With highlights and shadows, plus apparent detail, a
subject is rendered dimensional and lifelike; this realism, of course, is the photographer's
objective in creating a saleable, finely wrought portrait. Light quality is the next topic at hand.
Light is characterized as "hard" or "soft" and ranges in colour from cool to warm tones. Corbell's
text and illustrations address this topic in full, showing readers how to use the quality of light to
create images with a mood or feel that suits the portrait's intended purpose. In this section, he
also addresses the role that highlights, shadows, and contrast range play in sculpting the client
for a flattering effect. With the basis laid out, Corbell shifts his attention to identifying the
quantity and quality of natural light on the scene and harnessing its power. He shows readers
simple techniques for making the light softer or harder, diminishing the intensity of the light on
the subject or scene, and adding light via flash and reflectors to produce perfect portraits in any
natural light scenario, indoors or out.
AUTHOR:
For more than twenty years, Tony Corbell has educated and inspired photographers throughout
the world. Tony has photographed three U.S. presidents, 185 world leaders and heads of state,
more than 400 brides and grooms, and innumerable other recognisable faces. He has spoken at
over 600 seminars and workshops nationally and internationally.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, wrote
William Shakespeare. And many other poets and writers have dedicated lines to these beautiful
flowers that have always adorned and embellished gardens and houses.
Wonderful petals, a thorny stem, warm but at the same time delicate colours, an enchanting and
intoxicating fragrance. These are the secrets of the rose, of which, however, the true essence
remains elusive. A master of still life photography, Fabio Petroni, has turned his attention to
roses in all their infinite manifestations. Through his lens, he has endeavoured to capture those
aspects and details that make this flower, the symbol of love, grace, and the most intimate
secrets, unique.
Spectacular pictures, an elegant editorial format, wonderful close-ups and a final section that
features the history and characteristics of the varieties of roses photographed. These are the
secrets of this large-format publication, in which roses are the absolute protagonists and in which
the pages merge with the petals.

Learn what it takes to shoot reportage—photojournalistic images—from developing an idea, to
making travel plans, to gathering the requisite information about the subject/scene and locale, to
packing the appropriate gear and nailing the technical aspects of the shoot. Success in
photojournalism is predicated on having a firm understanding of the business. Let's face it:
conceiving of a suitable reportage concept and getting a technically sound image may seem a
simple task for photographers well versed in photographing other subjects, but the truth is,
photojournalism requires a special skillset and understanding of what it is that such jobs entail.
As a photojournalist, your work may take you into strange lands, and often, you will be faced
with uncovering customs that will influence your photographic objectives. You'll need to connect
with local media. You will need to establish whether the water is safe to drink, when a model
release is needed, what questions to ask when conducting interviews, and other important
aspects that will affect your job before you even pick up your camera. Author Enzo Dal Verme
shows you the ropes, giving you all of the key insights you need in order to work safely and
more efficiently and create images that tell important stories and sell.
From researching the specifics of stories, people, and places, to capturing strong storytelling
images, to getting images onto the desks of influential editors, getting noticed, published, and
paid, this important book covers all of the critical information photographers of all skill levels
need to know in order to make it in the field of photojournalism.

Enzo Dal Verme's work has been published in Vanity Fair, l'Uomo Vogue, Vogue Sport,

• The ideal gift for those who dream of a private island
Few places in the world compare to Velaa Private Island. This ultra-exclusive boutique hideaway
island is set in the azure seas of the Indian Ocean. The Maldivian retreat takes its name from the
sea-turtles that inhabit the region. In fact, seen from the air, Velaa’s exclusive over-water villas
resemble the head of a turtle with the island forming the body. Designed by Czech architect Petr
Kolar, the overall concept is contemporary, yet intimate, with Maldivian influences. There are
many private islands in the Maldives, but very few of them are actually privately owned by a
single person. For Velaa’s owner, Jiri Smejc, the islands have become his true passion where he
spends most of his time. At Velaa private island he has created what he feels is the ideal
luxurious private resort delivering true privacy for his guests, yet also providing a number of
discerning first-class indulgences from world-class restaurants and wine cellar to golf academy-all

This modern textbook provides an extensive depiction of more than 75 dagger fencing
techniques according to 15th-century dagger Master Hans Talhoffer's manuscripts, among other
fencing luminaries, from past and present. In the Middle Ages, dagger fighting was part of every
fencer's standard repertoire—just as combat training was for swordsmen. The authors have
spent years thoroughly researching the techniques and studying and interpreting the old
manuscripts in order to subsequently test them in practice. Based on these historical
representations—complete with striking medieval drawings—each technique is explained and
illustrated in a series of action photographs. The fencing student is thus able to follow the
sequence of movements that make up each technique. Valuable tips on equipment and training,
plus a glossary of important terms round out this new standard work.

Rugby Union as a sport has seen continual evolution over the years, and never more so than
since the game officially became professional in 1995. While on the pitch tactics have seen more
formalized approaches to skill acquisition, it is off the pitch where the biggest changes have
occurred and no area has developed more than strength and conditioning. Players have gone
from traditionally training for 'fitness' as an add-on to their rugby training to seeking out
structured athletic training interventions. Furthermore, with modern rugby players being
physically bigger and faster, the need to ensure that they are more robust and free from injury
has led to the demand for a more scientific approach to the prescription of strength and
conditioning.
In 'Strength and Conditioning for Rugby Union', ex-international player Joel Brannigan presents
the underpinning science of strength and conditioning in rugby. Using the fundamental principles
of training, he details a structure of assessing rugby players that in turn will allow appropriate
training inverventions to be planned out and, most importantly, coached to a wide range of
rugby playing levels.
AUTHOR:
During a ten year professional career Joel Brannigan played for Edinburgh, London Welsh RFC
and Newcastle Falcons RFC and represented Scotland at international level. Following
retirement in 2004 he pursued a career in strength and conditioning and spent eight years as
head of strength and conditioning at the University of Northumbria working with a wide range of
athletes, from Olympic to recreational student athletes. He currently works as a strength and
conditioning coach with Durham County Cricket Club. He holds an MSc in Strength and
Conditioning and is also employed by the UKSCA as a tutor and assessor.
SELLING POINTS:
• Presents the science of strength and conditioning in rugby and shows how this has an impact
on player development.

Exploring the prototypes of the iconic Spitfire and the gripping Supermarine search for speed in
the skies
'Building The Supermarine Spitfire' presents an illuminating history of the design and
development of one of the Second World War's most remarkable fighter aircraft. The unique
sleek design of the Spitfire was truly a thing of aerodynamic beauty, forged with one matter in
mind – speed. From unprecedented achievements in winning and setting new world speed
records in the great Schneider Trophy Races of the late 1920s and early 1930s to being rolled
out for eventual aerial combat in one of the world's most tumultuous and destructive conflicts,
the Supermarine Spitfire served as a 'game changer' in the struggle to master the skies. Here
Mark Chambers uses many unpublished illustrations to explore the history of this iconic aircraft.

The Great Western Railway at Swindon, with its highly skilled craftsmen, is world-famous. It has
been written about and filmed countless times, and many of its old steam locomotives have been
saved from the scrapyards and lovingly rebuilt to run again on heritage lines. But despite such
affection, its skill in the construction and repair of the carriages and wagons has often been sadly
overlooked. Rolling stock is essential for the operation of any railway and no doubt played a key
role in the success of the GWR, transporting people and goods of all kinds across its extensive
network. Retired GWR railwayman Ken Gibbs seeks to redress the balance and reveal for the
first time exactly 'how they did it' - showcasing the history and work of the Carriage and Wagon
Works at Swindon.
AUTHOR:
Ken Gibbs spent his career working for the GWR, starting an apprenticeship into Fitting, Turning
and Steam Locomotive Erecting in 1944. He was the fourth generation of his family to do so.
After a period in the RAF he returned to the shop floor in 1953, later becoming an industrial
consultant on Plant Maintenance. He retired early and joined the GW Society at Didcot and the
Firefly project, constructing a broad gauge replica from scratch, a 23-year project for which he
became technical director. He has previously written, 'The Steam Workshops of the GWR' and
'Steam Rail Motors of the GWR' for The History Press.

Exploring the little- known history of 'combo ships' - luxury small liners combining passengers
and cargo
An unusual blend of cargo freight, holiday-making passengers and government officials, the
combination cargo-passenger ship is an oddity now all but relegated to the past. In its heyday,
however, royals such as Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, were known to travel by 'banana
boat' to the Caribbean. Ships such as Fyffes Line's Golfito would stop at Trinidad, Barbados and
Kingston to load up with bananas, whilst passengers would make the most of the exotic setting.
Carrying between 50 and 100 passengers with anything up to 10,000 tons of cargo, these ships
were both working freighters as well as elegant cruise-like ships, renowned for their intimate,
yacht-like atmosphere. William Miller is the author of ninety books on passenger ships and is an
acknowledged world expert on the subject. Told with affection, this nostalgic insight into the
world of passenger-cargo ships brings to life, in full colour, the magnificent ships and passengers
from the golden age of interoceanic travel.
AUTHOR:
William H Miller, or 'Mr Ocean Liner', has written some 85 books on passenger ships and is an
acknowledged world expert in his field. Along with appearing in numerous TV documentaries &
news broadcasts, he has been a guest lecturer aboard some 75 different ships, including over
100 voyages with the Cunard Line. He has sailed on over 350 voyages on some 300 ships.
SELLING POINTS:
• The unique passenger-cargo ships that were not actually liners but much more than freighters
• These often luxurious vessels gained popularity after the Second World War into the '50s and

• Fascinating ships, they relied as much on passengers as their 5-6 holds of cargo, sailing on
posted schedules for their passengers' ease

Normal service suspended! Bizarre and unusual stories, facts and curiosities across the formative
years on Britain's railway network
The formative years of Britain's railway network produced a host of ideas, activities and
characters, quite a few of which now seem not only highly unusual, but sometimes little short of
ridiculous. Weird schemes and designs, extravagant behaviour, reckless competition and
larger-than-life characters all featured in the genuine struggle of the railway system to evolve.
While the dawning of regulation and common sense brought about more uniform and responsible
practices, factors like the weather and the innate complexity of railway operation continued to
produce a stream of nonstandard incidents and outcomes, from wild storms to unusual
equipment. This book, by ex-railwaymen Geoff and Ian Body, captures over 150 entertaining
snippets, stories, and strange and unusual facts from an ample supply of railway curiosities.
SELLING POINTS:
• New material collated by an experienced railwaymen
• Featuring the bizarre machinations of railways large and small
• With flamboyant and temperamental characters, storms, incidents, extreme plans, secret
projects, telegraphic howlers, strange names and some startling facts about railway mania
• Illustrated with photographs and line arts
AUTHOR:
Geoff Body worked in the railway industry from 1945 to 1976 and has been writing on railways
ever since. He has written a great number of books and articles over the years, including

The Great Northern Atlantics, were the first locomotives constructed in Britain to the 4-4 -2 wheel
arrangement. The Atlantics were designed by H.G. Ivatt, locomotive Superintendent of The
Great Northern Railway. Introduced from 1898, with the construction at Doncaster Works of
small boilered Atlantic number 990 Henry Oakley, which is now preserved in the National
Collection at York, this type of locomotive became one of the most successful types in use on top
link express work in the late Victorian and Edwardian era. The small boilered type was followed
in 1902, by the large boilered type, examples of which remained in traffic until the early 1950s.
The two types of Great Northern Atlantic locomotives were retained in top link service on the L N
E R well into the 1920s, as there were not enough of the new Gresley A1 Pacific's to take over
top link diagrams. As a result of the success of the Ivatt designed large boilered Atlantic, D.
Earl-Marsh, who was in charge of the drawing office at Doncaster, designed his own version of
the Ivatt machine, when he moved to Brighton Works as Locomotive Superintendent of the L B
S C R.
The Great Northern Atlantics, like the Brighton machines had a large following which has
continued to this day, with model engineers and small scale modellers continuing to construct fine
live steam and electric drive models of these handsome locomotives.
AUTHOR:
James S. Baldwin is a historian, author and professional film maker, who also produces material
for the National Railway Museum, High Street retail outlets and industrial companies. He has

very interested in all things to do with railways, social history and creative processes and is
particularly interested in the evolution of railway design.
SELLING POINTS;
• This volume covers the history and development of the two classes of Great Northern Railway
Atlantics.
• Designed by H G Ivatt, the Great Northern Atlantics were some of the most successful and
best loved steam Locomotives of the late Victorian and Edwardian era.
• Both the small boilered and large boilered varieties of these impressive machines, hauled the
most important trains on the East Coast main line, until the Gresley Pacific's were introduced in
1922.

Reliability Manager in 1986, and finally British Rail's Head of Safety Policy after the Clapham
Junction train accident, until privatisation. This experience led to a number of years as an
international railway safety consultant, and, as a result of an encounter on an Indian railway
station during a business trip abroad, to found the 'Railway Children' charity to support street
children living on the rail and bus stations of India, East Africa and the UK, described in 2012 by
an officer of the United Nations Human Rights Commission as the largest charity in the world
working exclusively for street children. All this is the background to the descriptions the author
gives of the last years of steam and his many journeys and experiences during his training in
South Wales and the South West, his travels all over BR from 1962 until the end of steam in
1968, his search for steam in France, East and West Germany and China and the steam specials
in Britain, France, Germany and China after the demise of regular steam working. The book
includes over 100 black and white and 100 colour photos, most taken by the author during his
travels, and nearly forty pages of logs of locomotive performance in Britain and the continent. All
royalties from the book are being donated by the author to the charity he founded, a brief
description of which is included in the last chapter of the book.

Lincolnshire is a largely rural county, which was reflected in the early history of the railway lines.
The main lines mostly passed through on their way to somewhere else and the local traffic was
handled by a large number of branch lines.
Author Alan Stennett explores the history of the railways in Lincolnshire, starting with the very
early days when it was expected that Lincoln would be on a main line to the north, only to lose
out to what we now know as the East Coast Main Line. Using archive maps, original photographs
and other sources, he traces the development of railways in the county, and their role in serving
the great fishing port of Grimsby, 'bracing' East Coast resorts such as Cleethorpes and Skegness,
the iron and steel industries of Scunthorpe and the agricultural heartland of the Fens.
The network saw many early closures before being savaged by the Beeching cuts, but the story
continues to the present day, where new developments offer renewed hope for what is left of
the system.
AUTHOR:
Alan Stennett is a writer and broadcaster who has spent most of his life in Lincolnshire. He and
his wife, Sue, live in the old Great Northern Railway station at Kirkstead, later renamed as

The Castle class locomotive illustrates Kevin McCormack's first love: the Great Western Railway
and the Western Region of British Railways. Living almost all his childhood on the Western in
Ealing, it was perhaps inevitable that this was his favourite region, and he came to admire the
copper-capped chimneys, brass safety value covers and brass nameplates and cabside number
plates of its larger locomotives as well as the tall chimneys and large domes of its characteristic
smaller engines. He had a particular liking for the diminutive 14XX 0-4-2 tanks that used to work
the Ealing Broadway-Greenford push and pull services and when a fund was set up to preserve
one, Kevin was quick to add his support, joining what became the Great Western Society and
becoming its secretary in the late 1960s/early 1970s.
In 1973, Kevin cemented his interest in the GWR by acquiring a Victorian family saloon railway
carriage, which had been converted into a Thameside bungalow.
Remarkably, the coach was largely original inside and the exterior well preserved as it was
virtually encased within the house. Restoration has therefore been a comparatively easy task
and the vehicle is displayed at the Great Western Society's base at the Didcot Railway Centre.
AUTHOR:
Kevin McCormack is a life-long transport enthusiast whose interest began with collecting numbers

still drives today. Kevin's is a regular steward at the London Bus Museum at Brooklands and a
director of the Online Transport Archive, a repository for transport films and photographs
donated or bequeathed to it. In 1992, Kevin produced his first book containing colour

The Olympian was Leyland's answer to the competition that was threatening to take custom
away from its second-generation OMO double-deck products. Simpler than the London
Transportcentric Titan but, unlike that integral model, able to respond to the market by being
offered as a chassis for bodying by the bodybuilder of the customer's choice, the Olympian was
an immediate success and soon replaced both the Atlantean and Bristol VRT as the standard
double-decker of the NBC. It wasn't until 1984 that London Transport itself dabbled with the
model, taking three for evaluation alongside trios of contemporary double- deckers. The
resulting L class spawned an order for 260 more in 1986, featuring accessibility advancements
developed by LT in concert with the Ogle design consultancy, but the rapid changes engulfing the
organisation meant that no more were ordered. During the 1990s company ownerships shifted
repeatedly as the ethos of competition gave way to the cold reality of big business, an unstable
situation which even saw London's bus operations broken up. The L class was split between three
new companies, but the backlog of older vehicles to replace once corporate interests released
funding ensured the buses up to a further decade in service. Finally, as low-floor buses swept
into the capital at the turn of the century, Olympian operation at last declined, and the final
examples operated early in 2006.
This profusely illustrated book describes the diversity of liveries, ownerships and deployments
that characterised the London Leyland Olympians' two decades of service.

Lotus introduced the Type 75 Elite in 1974. Being a full four-seater coupe with an opening glass
tailgate, it was designed to carry a family in comfort while retaining Lotus' trademark, excellent
road holding and handling. Perhaps most importantly, it was the first - and successful - step in
Colin Chapman's plan to move upmarket and away from Lotus' kit car image.
The Elite gave rise to two derivatives, the Eclat and the Excel. The Eclat was a restyled coupe
version, sacrificing the Elite's unique rear styling and good rear passenger headroom for a more
stylish exterior. With its conventional coupe styling, the Eclat was more mainstream than the
Elite, and it was in the end the better seller. In turn, the Eclat spawned the Excel, the last of the
Elite-inspired family.
Matthew Vale looks at the history of these unusual Lotus models, and gives a thorough guide to
buying and owning the cars today.

A pictorial history of car making at Longbridge, bringing the story right up to date
Lavishly illustrated with unique images from the official company archive, this book charts more
than 100 years of car-making at the Longbridge factory, near Birmingham. Herbert Austin
founded the Austin Motor Company here in April 1905 and it was subsequently home to the
British Motor Corporation, British Leyland, Rover Group and, latterly, MG Rover. Its products
include some of the most famous British models ever produced, such as the pioneering Austin
Seven, the innovative trend-setting Mini, the popular Austin Metro and, in later years, the
best-selling MG TF and elegant Rover 75. The factory was a major employer and an integral part
of the local community from its beginnings until the sad events of April 2005, when MG Rover
went into administration. This radically changed the landscape, spearheading the long-term
regeneration of the area. The community is looking to the future with confidence, never
forgetting its long and proud tradition of manufacturing. This fully updated version honours the
110th anniversary of the first motor production at Longbridge as well as the 150th birthday of
Herbert Austin. It includes a new colour section showing various stages in the life of a car, from
the design studio to the showroom.

This is the story of a machine that began as a crude device used only for pumping water from
mines, to become the main driving force behind the mills and factories of Britain for nearly two
hundred years. By the end of the 18th century, the steam engine was no longer stuck where it
was built: it moved into the world of transport. First it was used to power boats, and then it
trundled off down the highway before finding a home on railed tracks. It is one of the greatest
stories of British inventiveness, and the steam engine has a host of admirers. Anthony Burton
covers early ideas that led to the development of steam, and the breakthroughs by blacksmith
Thomas Newcomen and James Watt. He looks at the steamboat, carriages, early locomotives,
steamships, engines and turbines, agricultural engines and preservation today, exploring the
steam engine in all of its many guises.

A compelling account of a remarkable aircraft and its pilots
The Spitfire symbolised Britain’s fight against the Luftwaffe in World War Two. Its power,
combined with well-trained and aggressive pilots, saw it dominate the skies. Fighter Command
pilots in 1938 were delighted with the Spitfire. By the Battle of Britain the RAF was ready to
forge the Spitfire legend. There were 19 squadrons during the summer of 1940; it was only later
the numbers swelled. At times the combat initiative was lost to Bf 109s and Fw 190s, but with
better training and increased performance Spitfire clawed its way back. By 1944 it was employed
as fighter-bomber in various theatres of war; many pilots thought strapping bombs below this
aircraft verged on insult but with aerial targets in short supply this as the most effective way of
reaching the enemy. Spitfire saw action up to 1948 and there are still around 50 airworthy
today.
AUTHOR:
Ken Delve joined the RAF as a navigator and in a 20-year flying career served with many

cars to emerge from any British motor manufacturer. Yet it was the period between 1981 and
2004, under the management of Peter Wheeler, when the company finally shook off its
shed-built roots and proved that it could produce cars that could match anything from Maranello
or Stuttgart in terms of performance, but at a fraction of their price.
Illustrated with over 300 photographs, TVR - Cars of the Peter Wheeler Era tells the story of the

I have always found the idea of the 'English Riviera' comical, the sort of gentle self-mocking
humour that we British would pride ourselves on if we weren't so gently self-mocking. But
looking out at the white buildings in the distance, sprinkled on the cliffs and framed by a
sailor-blue sky, I can see it. Just.
Fifty-six piers. Two weeks. One eccentric road trip.
Before the seaside of their youth disappears forever, two friends from the landlocked Midlands
embark on a hare-brained journey to see all the surviving pleasure piers in England and Wales.
With a clapped-out car, and not enough cash, Jon and Danny recruit Midge, a man they barely
know, to be their driver, even though he has to be back in two weeks to sign on...
Taking turns to tell their madcap story, Jon and Danny invite us to join them as they take a
funny and nostalgic look at Britishness at the beach, amusement in the arcades and friendship on
the road.

New York surfing is mad. Breaks are hard to access, waves are inconsistent, and winter (which
produces the best waves) is brutal. You might risk almost anything just so you don't hear those
famous words, "You should have been here an hour ago." Follow dedicated wave hunters to the
end of the A-train and beyond and peek into this passionate way of life through authentic
photography and several surfers' personal journeys. Discover what it takes to brave the cold
Atlantic Ocean and get a fresh insight on the Big Apple's hidden surf subculture. An adventurous
photographer has developed relationships with local surfers, absorbed scarcely available
knowledge about the ocean and climate, and placed herself in these elements without
reservation. To respect the locals and their underground culture, there is no mention of where
the specific action takes place. Locations may include Rockaway, Montauk, Long Beach, Lido
Beach, and Northern New Jersey.
AUTHOR:
Originally from Bucharest, Romania, Andreea Waters discovered Rockaway Beach, NY, where
her surf photography began, in May 2012. When you least expect it she is on the beach, taking
powerful photographs that represent timeless moments in New York surfing.
SELLING POINTS:
• A visual story and celebration of ocean community, passion, and the New York surfer soul
• More than 60 photos with stories by 13 New York surfers
