Superlegumes
Chrissy Freer
With over 90 recipes and packed with information on nutrition and cooking tips, superlegumes dispels the myth
that beans, pulses and legumes make for stodgy food. Here are fresh, healthy, easy vegetarian, meat- and
fish-based recipes, for every meal and every season.
Description
With over 90 recipes and packed with information on nutrition and cooking tips, Superlegumes dispels the myth that
beans and legumes make for stodgy, hippy, vegetarian food. Like many of the ancient grains (quinoa, chia) now so
omnipresent in today’s healthy kitchen, legumes, beans and pulses have been bypassed in favour of highly processed,
unhealthy 'convenience' foods.
With Superlegumes, all that has changed.
These fresh, delicious and health-bringing recipes are a mix of vegetarian, meat and fish-based recipes, for every meal
and every season. They use legumes and pulses - cannellini beans, broad beans, lima beans, kidney beans, adzuki
beans, borlotti beans, lentils, chickpeas -- not only a high-protein food source and kinder on the earth to produce than
meat protein, but also healthier to eat and cheaper to buy.

Raw: 150 Dairy-free and Gluten-free Vegan Recipes
Omid Jaffari
150 dairy-free, gluten-free recipes for the raw vegan gourmand.
Description
Here are 150 gluten-free and dairy-free vegan recipes that let you into the secret of creating gourmet raw cuisine for
every day. Eating organic, nutritionally dense, uncooked plant foods can really improve your health and well-being
because the less food is processed, the less stress it puts on the digestive system.
The three sections in this book -- Raw Materials, Staples and Recipes -- take you on a journey through creating delicious
raw vegan cuisine from scratch: from using a dehydrator and stocking your pantry with the best ingredients, to making
raw vegan staples for your fridge and freezer, to combining these staples to make delicious breakfasts, soups, salads,
pastas, risottos, tarts, desserts and chocolates.
The result is clean, delicious, nourishing food that is full of goodness for body and soul.
About the Author
Author Omid Jaffari's earliest childhood memories revolve around the kitchen and garden of his grandmother's house in
northern Tehran, where he remembers eating unripe cherries and juicy pomegranates and breathing in the scent of
rosewater.
Later, settling with his family in New Zealand as a young boy, he learned to become a chef then took his skills abroad to
the UK where he worked at London's world-renowned River Cafe, with Ruth Rogers and the late Rose Gray. It was here
that Omid honed his skills and his palate and started dreaming of the culinary possibilities of the freshest, raw food.

including over one hundred tasty and filling recipes.
Description
How do you get your protein? As a vegan, you're sure to get asked this question often. Most likely, you've even thought
about it yourself. Vegan protein comes from things like tofu and tempeh, to beans, nuts, and protein-rich whole grains like
quinoa. There are loads of options out there, but how to prepare them? What to put them in? These are questions that
can feel daunting, especially if you haven't used these ingredients before. Never fear, Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes
to the rescue! The Great Vegan Protein Book takes you step-by-step through each protein-rich vegan food group,
providing you with valuable information on how to prepare the ingredient along with more than one hundred delicious and
easy recipes (many of them low-fat, soy free, and gluten-free!). Each recipe uses whole food ingredients that can be
easily found at most grocery stores or farmer's markets-no hard-to-find ingredients or things you can't pronounce. Say yes
to protein and eating better with The Great Vegan Protein Book!

Sherry
Talia Baiocchi
Part travelogue, part recipe book, Sherry is an essential read for wine professionals and drink enthusiasts
alike.
Description
A remarkable drink with a rich history, sherry was for centuries considered one of the world's greatest wines. But in more
recent times, its illustrious reputation was often overlooked and this once beloved beverage fell out of favour. Now, with
sherry undergoing a renaissance and becoming a star ingredient on the craft cocktail scene, that is all about to change.
Part travelogue, part recipe book,Sherryis an essential read for wine professionals and drink enthusiasts alike. Beginning
with an overview of the different types of sherry and how they are made, it moves on to tell the story of this complex wine
through the people and places that produce it, as well as the mouth-watering dishes that best complement it - from
seafood Tortillitas to Braised Chicken and Clams Sofrito. An entire chapter of 43 sherry-based cocktails - plus a buyer's
guide listing the top producers and the best wines - launches this traditional wine firmly into the present day and will make
even the sherry novice an expert on this versatile drink. From its extraordinary history to its modern day use, Talia
Baiocchi has created an exceptional guide through the whole spectrum of sherry.

Speed Brewing: Techniques and Recipes for Fast-Fermenting Beers,
Ciders, Meads, and More
Mary Izett
Techniques and recipes for fast-fermenting beers, ciders, meads and more. Speed Brewing is the perfect
guide for beginners and anyone who wants to add something new and fast to brew to their repertoire!
Description
No time this weekend? No problem.Homebrew tastes great, it's inexpensive to make, and it's equally fun to brew old
favorites and new recipes. There's only one reason not to brew on your next day off: time. Whether it's your kids, your job,
or a million other things, it can be hard to find a free brew-day. Then there's the agonizing wait--weeks, or even months-to crack that first cap.But what if you could brew a session IPA in just a few hours? Or what if your next sour beer was
ready to drink in weeks instead of months? In Speed Brewing, author Mary Izett shows you how to make it happen. For
beer, she covers the basics of Brew-in-a-Bag, which shaves hours off brew day. Her recipes are inventive, packing big
flavor into beers, ciders, and meads that ferment fast. She also provides chapters of ideas for lesser-known but equally
delicious fast fermentables. You'll find well-tested recipes for boozy kombucha, kefir beer, spirited sodas, and more.
Whether you decide to brew the Bia Hoi, Smoked Summer Ale, or Strawberry Peppercorn Short Mead, Tuesday night will
never be the same.
About the Author

president of the New York City Homebrewers' Guild and President Emeritus of the Malted Barley Appreciation Society. As

Architects' Houses: Twenty Australian Homes
Stephen Crafti
Discover how architects design and live in their own homes
Description
Architects' Houses</i> offers an insight into how contemporary architects live in the homes they have designed
specifically for themselves and their family: from warehouses to apartments, from an entirely new build to a substantial
renovation. In the absence of a 'client' and a formal brief, architects can be truly adventurous, exploring groundbreaking,
unconventional ideas and materials in designing their own houses. In this lavishly photographed book, Crafti looks at the
fascinating details of the process involved, as much as the end result. What were the challenges, the hardships and the
problems faced? Did ideas have to be modified to suit the budget? Were there compromises along the way? What
discoveries were made? <i>Architects' Houses </i>also explores the things that didn't quite go to plan. Their insights and
journeys will appeal to those looking for fresh ideas that go beyond the traditional offerings by architects.
About the Author
Stephen Crafti has been writing on architecture and design for over 20 years. To date he has written 40 books and
numerous stories for newspapers and magazines including The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian
Financial Review, Indesign and Habitus. Crafti hosts a radio program 'Talking Design' on behalf of RMIT University, as
well as operating architecture and design tours both in Australia and in Europe.

Herterton House and a New Country Garden
Charles Quest-Ritson, Frank Lawley and Val Corbett
The story of how an ancient house was brought back to life and a fitting garden created around it.
Description
Frank and Marjorie Lawley have spent almost 40 years at Herterton House, a 16th century farmhouse on the Wallington
Estate, near Cambo (birthplace of Capability Brown) in Northumberland.
When they leased Herterton from the National Trust in 1976, the Lawleys took on a series of derelict farm buildings. This
highly original and personal book describes in detail how, with patience and passion, they restored Herterton House and
created an exquisite and unique garden. As well as discussing the practicalities involved, it also describes the influences
and the lifetime of thinking behind their achievement. Within its mere acre, the garden at Herterton House provides more
visual interest and more interesting plants (plants you can also buy from its small nursery) than many gardens twenty
times its size. It also stimulates visitors to think about what plants to use and how to use them, about the history of
English gardens, about the relation of the past to the present and about the relation of a garden to the landscape around
it.
About the Author
Christopher John Lawley was born in Bloxwich, Staffordshire and has been known as Frank for over sixty years. His wife
Marjorie was born Marjorie Louisa Tinlin at Wallington in Northumberland. In an attempt to understand something of the
essence of Englishness as expressed in the English landscape, they have spent the past four decades rescuing Herterton
House near Wallington, a long-abandoned sixteenth century farmhouse, and designing, creating and maintaining around
it a new but appropriate country garden.
Val Corbett is a freelance photographer based in the Lowther Valley on the eastern fringe of the Lake District. She is well
known for her landscape photography which features in books such as Winter in the Lake District, A Year in the Life of
the Eden Valley and Rainy Days in the Lake District. Her most recent book Arts and Crafts Houses of the Lake District
demonstrates her skill in photographing interiors.

History's Worst Decisions
Stephen Weir
A compendium of cock-ups, from the Trojan War to Gallipoli, from the Boston Tea Party to the Enron scandal a book that shows it's all too easy to go down in history as an idiot!
Description
'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' - George Santayana, philosopher and writer
Mankind's past is strewn with mistakes - colossal blunders driven by virtue as often as vice. Some unlucky people didn't
always set out to cause the mayhem they did, but somehow things just went wrong. Really wrong.
History's Worst Decisions shines a light on fifty of the biggest. Starting with Adam and Eve's original blunder in eating the
apple, author Stephen Weir takes you on a tour of catastrophes from antiquity to modern times. From the Trojan War to
Gallipoli, from the Boston Tea Party to the Enron scandal, famous figures of ancient times such as Cleopatra and Nero
rub shoulders with more modern culprits like Churchill and Mugabe. History's Worst Decisions doesn't just point the
finger at individuals, the actions of governments and corporations are also scrutinised. The motivations, often sinister and
sometimes naive, that led those responsible to commit their mistakes are unveiled, as is the lasting impact that their
decisions have had on the world we live in today.
About the Author
A graduate of Cambridge University, Stephen Weir is a writer and publisher who has worked on three continents. He has
worked with authors as diverse as the Australian novelist Patrick White, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, the noted
British military historian John Keegan, and the billionaire George Soros.

Hitler's War
Jeremy Harwood
The historical commentary in Hitler's War: Fact of Fiction puts the Signal magazine content into accurate
historical context, showing how, after 1943, the picture of Nazi Germany that Signal presented became ever
more increasingly at odds with reality.
Description
The first issue of Signal hit the news-stands in April 1940; the last appeared on 12 April 1945, just weeks before the Third
Reich's surrender. As the Nazi empire expanded across Europe, the magazine's readership grew equally dramatically. By
1943, its circulation was around 2.5 million. Appearing like clockwork once a fortnight it had started off as a supplement to
the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung; it circulated in Belgium, Bohemia, Moravia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland,
Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey as well as in Germany itself. An English-language edition was even produced for the
United States.
This fascinating survey charts Signal's entire career, from the heady days of the Blitzkrieg, when final victory, it was
assumed, lay just around the corner, to how the magazine faced up to the Reich's decline and fall. At its outset, it was
brashly optimistic, packed full of photographs celebrating the Reich's triumph over its enemies. Later, as the tide of war
swung inexorably against Nazi Germany and there were no more victories to celebrate, the editorial emphasis subtly
altered. Originally, half of Signal was given over to news coverage, while the other half was devoted to gossip (the Reich's
film stars featured prominently); sporting events, theatre and fashion. Now, the balance changed. Starved of good news
to publish, the magazine focussed on the heroism of the soldiers at the front, who fought on gallantly in spite of all
setbacks. The historical commentary in Hitler's War puts the magazine content into accurate historical context, showing
how, after 1943, the picture of Nazi Germany that Signal presented became ever more increasingly at odds with reality.

Dunkirk: From Disaster to Deliverance - Testimonies of the Last
Survivors
Sinclair McKay
The absurd epic of Dunkirk told here through fresh interviews with veterans, plus unseen letters and archival
material. Sinclair McKay tells the story of how an old- fashioned island was brutally forced into the modernity of
World War Two.
Description
When Churchill made one of the most inspiring speeches of the 20th century - 'we will fight them on the beaches' - he
was giving thanks for the miracle of deliverance, the harrowing and breathless evacuation of over 338,000 troops from the
beaches and harbour at Dunkirk. Churchill was determined it shouldn't be labelled a victory. He was already too late.
Hours later, broadcaster JB Priestley was to call it 'an absurd English epic'. Those days of Dunkirk are still invoked now
whenever the nation finds itself in any kind of crisis. But there is a wider story too that involves a very large number of
civilians - from nurses to racing enthusiasts, trades union leaders to dance hall managers, novelists to seaside cafe
owners.
And even wider yet, a story that starts in September 1939: of young civilian men being trained for a war that was already
25 years out of date; and the increasing suspense - and occasional surrealism - of the Phoney War. The 'absurd epic' of
Dunkirk - told here through fresh interviews with veterans, plus unseen letters and archival material - is the story of how
an oldfashioned island was brutally forced into the modernity of World War Two.
About the Author
Sinclair McKay is the bestselling author ofThe Secret Life of Bletchley Park and The Secret Listeners for Aurum, as well
as histories of Hammer films, the James Bond films, and the pastime of rambling.

The Summer of '45: Stories and Voices from VE Day to VJ Day
Kevin Telfer
An oral and social history charting the end of the Second World War, and the slow 'outbreak of peace' between
8th May and 2nd September 1945.
Description
An oral and social history charting the end of the Second World War, and the slow 'outbreak of peace' between 8th May
and 2nd September 1945. Beginning with the signing of the German surrender to the Western Allies in Reims on 7th May,
this 'people's history' will gather voices from all levels of society and from all corners of the globe to explore four months
that would dictate the order of the world for decades to come. Quoting from generals, world statesmen, infantrymen,
prisoners of war, journalists, civilians and neutral onlookers, it will variously present the memories of the men and women
who danced alongside Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret outside Buckingham Palace on the first night of peace; the
reactions of the vanquished and those faced with rebuilding a shattered Europe; the often overlooked story of the
'forgotten army' still battling against the Japanese in the East; the election of Clement Attlee's reforming Labour
government; the beginnings of what would become the Iron Curtain; and testimony from the first victims of nuclear
warfare in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Combining archive sources and original interviews with living witnesses, The
Summer of '45 will consider the lingering trauma of the war and the new challenges brought by peacetime in a style
reminiscent of books such as The Great Silence: 1918-1920 Living in the Shadow of the Great War and Savage
Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of World War II.

The Housekeeper's Tale: The Women Who Really Ran the English
Country House
Tessa Boase
Revelatory, gripping and unexpectedly poignant, The Housekeeper's Tale champions the invisible women who
ran the English country house.
Description
Working as a housekeeper was one of the most prestigious jobs a nineteenth and early twentieth century woman could
want - and also one of the toughest. A far cry from the Downton Abbey fiction, the real life Mrs Hughes was up against
capricious mistresses, low pay, no job security and gruelling physical labour. Until now, her story has never been told.
The Housekeeper's Tale reveals the personal sacrifices, bitter disputes and driving ambition that shaped these women's
careers. Delving into secret diaries, unpublished letters and the neglected service archives of our stately homes, Tessa
Boase tells the extraordinary stories of five working women who ran some of Britain's most prominent households. There
is Dorothy Doar, Regency housekeeper for the obscenely wealthy 1st Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Trentham Hall,
Staffordshire. There is Sarah Wells, a deaf and elderly Victorian in charge of Uppark, West Sussex. Ellen Penketh is
Edwardian cook-housekeeper at the sociable but impecunious Erddig Hall in the Welsh borders. Hannah Mackenzie runs
Wrest Park in Bedfordshire - Britain's first country-house war hospital, bankrolled by playwright J. M. Barrie. And there is
Grace Higgens, cookhousekeeper to the Bloomsbury set at Charleston farmhouse in East Sussex for half a century - an
era defined by the Second World War.

They Laughed at Galileo: How the Great Inventors Proved Their Critics
Wrong
Albert Jack
That will never work... here's the story of how great inventors proved their critics wrong.
Description
From the wireless to the computer, and from hula hoops to interplanetary travel, inventions and discoveries have changed
our lifestyles in ways that would have astounded our ancestors. Each of them was originally developed by visionaries who
dreamt of the seemingly impossible, but who were opposed by an array of experts publicly declaring that 'It cannot be
done.'
Well, yes it could . . . And here's the story of how those dreamers overcame the odds against them.
About the Author
Albert Jack is an English writer and historian who became something of a publishing phenomenon in 2004 when his first
book Red Herrings and White Elephants, which explored the origins of well-known phrases in the English language,
became a huge international best-seller. The book was serialised by the Sunday Times for over a year and stayed in the
top ten of the UK Sunday Times best-seller list for sixteen months. His follow up book Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep
was also a best seller and has sold over 150,000 copies since publication in October 2005. His other successful titles
include Phantom Hitchhikers, Loch Ness Monsters and Raining Frogs and Pop Goes the Weasel.

30-Second Evolution
edited by Nicholas Battey and Mark Fellowes
The 50 most significant ideas and events, each explained in half a minute.
Description
Evolution is the unifying force in modern biology, bringing together such diverse fields as microbiology, genetics and
palaeontology. It provides a powerfully persuasive explanation for the staggering diversity of life on Earth but remains a
source of controversy and throws up several bones of contention.How life has evolved has taxed the very best of brains,
from Da Vinci to Darwin and, in our own time, Richard Dawkins.
30-Second Evolution unlocks the laboratory of life, dissecting it into the 50 most significant topics that provide the missing
links to understand the natural world's four-billion-year ancestry and the process of natural selection in which species
either adapt in myriad ways - mutation, ingenuity, and intelligence - to meet the challenges of a changing environment, or
die.
About the Author
Nicholas Battey is Head of Environmental Biology and Mark Fellowes is Head of the School of Biological Sciences at the
University of Reading, England. Together, their expertise spans the diversity of their subject: Professor Battey's
background is in cells, genes, and plants; Professor Fellowes's is in ecology, evolution, animals, and the interactions
between species.

certainly heard of all of them. But do you know enough about them to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar with
your knowledge?
30-Second Theories takes a revolutionary approach to understanding the 50 most significant and intriguing scientific
theories. It challenges a half-century of leading boffins to abandon their beloved jargon and explain the most complex
theories in half a minute - using nothing more than two pages, 300 words, one flow chart, and a picture. Time might well
be relative, but it's also precious in a world that seems to spin ever faster, and here, in one unique volume, you have the
opportunity to pick the potted brains of our leading scientists and understand the key notes of our harmonious universe in
less time than it takes to scratch your head.

30-Second Brain
edited by Anil Seth
The 50 most mindblowing ideas in neuroscience, each explained in half a minute.
Description
The bestselling 30-Second... series takes a revolutionary approach to learning about those subjects you feel you really
should understand. Each title dissects a popular topic into its 50 most significant ideas, explaining each one using only
300 words and a picture. The brain is the hot science topic of the moment. As imaging technology, genetics, chemistry,
and computing reveal our brains in ever more technicolour detail, neuroscientists are gaining new insights into how our
minds work. Dr John Williams of the Wellcome Trust said in 2012: 'We're on the cusp of major breakthroughs in our
understanding of the brain'
So, what can an MRI scan tell us? What does happen when our brain goes wrong? And are we all at the mercy of our
brain chemistry? 30-Second Brain is the fastest way to fill your mind with the science of what's happening inside your
head.

30-Second Economics: The 50 most thought-provoking economic
theories, each explained in half a minute
Donald Marron
A brilliant introduction to economic principles and history.
Description
A 'Crash' course in the top 50 economic theories. In these times of financial crisis, the economic consensus of the past
15 years has been destroyed. It's clear that there's a problem, but what's the solution? Once again, different economic
theories are being debated and names such as Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes are being bandied about. What
once seemed like an esoteric discipline relevant only to bankers and academics is now in our everyday lives and
important to every one of us.
Does a truly free market exist and, if it did, what effect would that have on society? Is it possible to spend your way out of
recession? What are our choices? 30-Second Economics takes the 50 most significant economic theories of the past 120
years, and challenges financial high-flyers to explain them to the general reader in half a minute, using nothing more than
two pages, 300 words, and one picture. Economics will suddenly seem a lot more fun than the economy, and make a lot
more sense, and along the way we'll meet the founding fathers of modern economics such as Adam Smith, J.S. Mills,
David Ricardo, and Alfred Marshall. From neo-liberalism to Marxism, plus everything in between, this is the ultimate
'Crash' course in economic theory.

Secret Life of Space
Heather Couper and Nigel Henbest
Two world-renowned scientists in astrophysics, chart our discoveries throughout the ages in The Secret Life of
Space.
Description
Revealing the true stories behind our biggest breakthroughs in astronomy and space exploration, Henbest and Couper
detail the chance, intuition and painstaking scientific investigation, which have led and continue to lead, to the greatest

history via Galileo's development of the telescope into the instrument we use today; Newton's discovery of gravity; the
findings of Stanley Hey during the Second World War that solar storms affected the radar, not the Germans; to today's
increasing possibility of space travel as we push the frontiers of discovery and the perennial question, is there life out
there? The Secret Life of Space opens up this world of black holes, quasars, pulsars and supernova; celebrating the
scientists and their discoveries, which continue to debunk theories, expand the possibilities of scientific breakthrough and
keep the world captivated.

Carsick
John Waters
Cult icon, John Waters, braves the lonely roads and treacherous drivers in this hilarious (if not always true)
hitchhiking adventure across America.
Description
John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil thin moustache, and a cardboard sign that reads 'I'm
not a psycho', he hitches across America from Baltimore to San Fransico, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers.
But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers
transporting the Pope of Trash?
Along the way, Waters fantasises about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over a pile of
cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a
race, a gun-toting drunk terrorises and holds him hostage and a Kansas drug squad throws him in jail. So what really
happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road?
Laced with subversive humour and warm intelligence, Carsick is an unforgettable vacation with a wickedly funny
companion - and a celebration of America's weird, astonishing and generous citizens.
About the Author
John Waters is an American filmmaker, actor, writer and visual artist best known for cult films, including Hairspray, Pink
Flamingos, and Cecil B. DeMented. He is also the author of a memoir, Role Models. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland.

It's One For The Money
Clinton Heylin
A cross between Hollywood Babylon and The Hitmen, It's One For The Money rips the lid off Pop's own
Pandora box and explicates just w hat it is that makes the w orld of sound go round - song publishing.
Description
Song publishing is the one constant in the carousel of recorded music now spanning the past century, and has been the
way that song-credits and publishing revenue have caused ructions and recriminations, and inspired writers by making
them poor and lawyers rich.
Whether it be Procul Harum going to court to decide who really wrote 'Whiter Shade of Pale' or the Moody Blues wanting
their fair share of 'Nights of White Satin', when the song credits get divvied up, a parting of the ways citing 'musical
differences' is almost inevitable. So here are some choice examples of poplore held up to the light, some familiar to music
fans others not, designed to prove that Dylan knew of what he wrote when he suggested, 'Money doesn't talk, it swears'.
Between them, they provide the unvarnished story of popular song from the days jukeboxes and radio replaced wax
cylinders and piano rolls to the era of digital dow nloads, legal and illegal...
About the Author
Clinton Heylin is the author of biographies of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen, and histories of US and
UK punk (From The Velvets To The Voidoids and Babylon's Burning), he has tackled every aspect of pop music and
culture in a 25-year career as a full-time author/historian.

Heaven's Bankers: Inside the Hidden World of Islamic Finance
Harris Irfan
An authoritative yet entertaining account of how a system of finance invented in seventh-century Middle East is
fast taking over the world of modern banking.
Description
Islamic finance is today is a trillion-dollar industry. It is fast becoming the main way in which large projects get funded
globally - such as buildings, aircraft, shipping - and many financial analysts expect Islamic banking assets worldwide to
double within five years.
In Heaven's Bankers Harris Ifran provides an authoritative yet entertaining account of how a system of finance invented in
the seventh-century Middle East is fast taking over the world of modern banking. The book draws on his fist-hand
relationships with some of the world's leading bankers, scholars and lawyers, many of whom attend a single mosque in
Dubai - The Masjid Al-Samad - the epicentre of today's Islamic finance revolution. It provides a warts-and-all description
of the industry; debunks some myths about Islamic finance - such as its perceived relationship with the financing of
terrorist activity or its incompatibility with Western values; and asks whether today's Islamic industry is true to the
fundamental principles of a faith committed to social justice.
About the Author
Harris Irfan is one of the world's leading Islamic finance bankers. He is the founder and managing partner of Cordoba
Capital, an independent Islamic finance advisory firm, and was formerly global head of Islamic finance at the Barclays
Group. Before working at Barclays, he was a co-founder of Deutsche Bank's world-leading Islamic finance team. He has
represented various institutions to media organizations such as the BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg, Reuters and the Financial
Times.

No Such Thing As Failure: The Extraordinary Life of a Great British
Adventurer
David Hempleman-Adams
'Gripping and inspiring - like the man himself!' Bear Grylls
Description
If there's an adventure to be had, it's likely that David Hempleman-Adams has been there first. Ranking alongside
Ranulph Fiennes and Chris Bonnington in the pantheon of British explorers, he is the first person in history to achieve
what is termed the Adventurers' Grand Slam, by reaching the Geographic and Magnetic North and South Poles as well as
climbing the highest peaks on all seven continents.
The question Hempleman-Adams is most often asked is, simply: what drives him on? Why risk frostbite pulling a sledge
to the North Pole? Why experience the Death Zone on Everest? Why fly in the tiny basket of a precarious balloon across
the Atlantic? Is it simply the case that he likes to push himself to the limits, or is there something more to it?
No Such Thing as Failure answers these questions and more, uncovering what drives arguably the world's greatest
adventurer.
About the Author
David Hempleman-Adams is a British adventurer and the first person in history to reach the Geographic and Magnetic
North and South Poles as well as to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents, an achievement termed the
Adventurers' Grand Slam. In total he has set 47 FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) World Records. He is a
Trustee of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, the Royal Aero Club Trust and the St John Ambulance, of which he has been
a member for 14 years.

The Street of Wonderful Possibilities: Whistler, Wilde and Sargent in
Tite Street
Devon Cox
An illustrated art history and cultural biography of one of the most influential artistic quarters in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; London's Tite Street.
Description
The Street of Wonderful Possibilities focuses on one of the most influential artistic quarters in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries; London's Tite Street, where a staggering amount of talent thrived between the 1870s and
1930s, including James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Oscar Wilde and John Singer Sargent. It provides a new, fresh
perspective on legendary figures in British art and literature and explores the relationship between these artists and their
living environment.
Today Tite Street is a narrow, quiet thoroughfare tucked away in a cosy corner of London. With the exception of a few
blue plaques upon its walls, there is little indication of the rich and vibrant history of a street that once stood at the heart of
the London art world. In this thriving artistic quarter, artists and writers created a bohemian enclave that would challenge
Victorian values in art and literature.
For Oscar Wilde, Tite Street was 'full of wonderful possibilities', while for Whistler it was the 'birthplace of art', where the
nascent Aesthetic Movement was nurtured in his highly controversial White House. From the studios and houses of Tite
Street issued modern masterpieces in art such as Whistler's Arrangement in Pink and Gray and Sargent's Lady Agnew,
and in literature with Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. But Tite Street had a dark side as well. Here Whistler was
bankrupted, Frank Miles was sent to an asylum, Wilde was imprisoned, and Peter Warlock was gassed to death.

A The Arts
AC History Of Art / Art & Design Styles
Throughout its turbulent existence, Tite Street mirrored the world around it. From the Aesthetic Movement to the
Edwardian suffragettes, through the bombs of the Blitz in the 1940s to the bombs of the IRA in the 1970s, Tite Street
remained a home to innumerable artists and writers, socialites and suffragettes, musicians and madmen. Countless
biographies have explored the major figures in Tite Street individually, but never in the context of their living and working
environment. The Street of Wonderful Possibilities unfolds this complex history, tying together the private and
professional lives of Tite Street's artists, writers and bohemians to form a colourful tapestry of art and intrigue, illuminating
their relationships to each other, to Tite Street and to a rapidly modernising London at the fin de siecle.

My Shed And How It Was Built: 50 Inspiring Sheds and their Owners
Donato Cinicolo
This book is for anyone who has a shed - or an allotment, back garden or space big enough to put one up.
Description
This book offers those who may be thinking of building their own own shed practical constructional advice and use of
materials; all of the sheds in the book have actually been built, and are not just ideas. It contains interesting stories about
the shed owners and how they overcame problems or how they found unusual, cheap solutions (such as the use of old
printing plates for roofing). Each shed, and its contents, gives an interesting insight into its owner's character.
About the Author
Donato Cinicolo is a professional photographer, but has always been keen on making things with his hands. He was born
in Italy in a small Appeninean village, and even at an early age he used to 'knock up' toys using scrap wood. Later Donato
lived in an old 17th century building which required a lot of maintenance, so he had to learn traditional skills like wattle
and daub plastering. It proved to be both enjoyable and very satisfying, so much so that neighbours began asking Donato
to build them a bespoke little building. Most of the techniques employed are traditional carpentry skills, mixed with some
foraging (it's always better getting stuff for free). To date Donato has made over a dozen sheds, three of which are in his
own back garden. In fact this book has been written in one of them!

Ashe vs Connors: Wimbledon 1975 - Tennis that went beyond centre
court
Pete Bodo
This is the story of one match; the Wimbledon final of 1975 between Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors, which
Ashe won to become the first black male winner of Wimbledon. Tennis that went beyond centre court.
Description
Early in July of 2015, tennis will celebrate the 40th anniversary of what might be the greatest upset in the annals of tennis.
There have been other key matches in which the disparity between the favourite and the victorious underdog may have
been more pronounced by standards of the sport. But none has been more resonant, or flush with meaning and contrasts.
For this was not just a contest between a mercurial, seemingly unstoppable prodigy and an undemonstrative veteran, it
also embodied a clash of values in a rapidly changing world, and in the sport itself.
This is the story of one match - the Wimbledon final of 1975 between Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors, which Ashe won
to become the first black male winner of Wimbledon. However, like the best sports books written, this is much more than
a just a story about one match, but a metaphor for a changing world, the end of an era and a last triumph for the passing
guard.
About the Author
Pete Bodo is one of the pre-eminent journalists writing on tennis today and knew Ashe and Connors. He is also the
acclaimed author, with Pete Sampras, of A Champion's Mind (Aurum). He lives in New York.

A Sense Of Direction
Gideon Lewis-Kraus
A young secular writer's journey along ancient religious pilgrimage routes in Spain, Japan and the Ukraine
leads to a suprise family reconciliation in this literary memoir.
Description
Gideon Lewis-Kraus arrived in free-spirited Berlin from San Francisco as a young writer in search of a place to enjoy life
to the fullest, and to forget the pain his father, a gay rabbi, had caused his family when he came out in middle age and
emotionally abandoned his sons. But Berlin offers only unfocused dissipation, frustration and anxiety; to find what he is
looking for (though he's not quite sure what it is), Gideon undertakes three seperate ancient pilgrimages, travelling
hundreds of miles: the thousand-year old Camino de Santiago in Spain with a friend, a solo circuit of eighty-eight Buddhist
temples on the Japanses island of Shikoku, and finally, with his father and brother, a migration to the tomb of a famous
Hassidic mystic in the Ukraine. It is on this last pilgrimage that Gideon reconnects with his father, and discovers that the
most difficult meeting and meaningful quest of all was the journey of his heart. A beautifully written, thought-provoking and
very moving meditation on what gives our lives a sense of purpose, and how we travel between past and present in
search of hope for our future.
About the Author
Gideon Lewis-Kraus has written for numerous US pubilcations, uncluding Harper's and The New York Times Book
Review. A 2007-08 Fulbright scholarship brought him to Berlin, a hotbed of contemporary restlessness where he
conceived this book. He now lives in New York but continues to find himself frequently on the road to other places.

Dearest Jane...: My Father's Life and Letters
Jane Torday and Roger Mortimer
The next instalment of a family history through letters - one that readers have already received warmly and
enthusiastically.
Description
As the eldest daughter of a prolific letter writer, Jane Torday received hundreds of letters from her father over the years.
From irreverent advice and hilarious family anecdotes to moments of great poignancy, Roger Mortimer's missives are a
touching and witty portrait of his life and relationships over the years.
Dearest Jane begins with Roger's time as a young army officer in Egypt, and then as a POW in the Second World War,
where his sense of humour endured despite the conditions. Jane accompanies her father's letters with her own memories
and anecdotes, as we meet familiar characters such as Nidnod, Lupin and Lumpy, and learn more about the extended
family, friends and pets who leap from the pages of his letters.
This is an arresting and extraordinary record, not only of Roger Mortimer's life but also of the history of an entire family
between 1960 and 1991. Sparkling with the dry wit for which Mortimer's letters are famous, and accompanied by an
affectionate personal portrait, this book will delight both old and new readers.

The Good Son
Paul McVeigh
Set in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, The Good Son is a funny, frightening and ultimately moving story of a boy
struggling to come of age against the backdrop of bitter and brutal surroundings.
Description
Set in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, The Good Son is a funny, frightening and ultimately moving story centred around
Mickey Donnelly, a boy struggling to come of age against the backdrop of bitter and brutal surroundings. Mickey is smart,
which isn't a good thing in his part of town. Even when he gets into a good school, his Ma and Da can't afford to send him.
He loves his little sister, Wee Maggie, but is teased by the other boys for hanging out with her. He loves his dog (Killer),
but things go terribly wrong when he wanders to a part of town his Mammy tells him never to go to. He loves the girl next
door, but everyone calls him 'gay'. He doesn't think much of his older brother, Paddy, and Paddy might even be mixed-up
with the IRA. And he really doesn't like Da who's defi nitely not in the IRA because even though his breath smells polominty, Mickey knows he drinks too much. And when Da drinks, there's trouble. But Mickey loves his Ma. All he wants is
for his Ma to be happy. And to someday, maybe, go to America - because Americans like Irish people and he might be
able to get a good job at a diner, or something. Mickey is a dreamer. And sometimes, dreams can get you in trouble.
Mickey learns just how far he'll go to protect the ones he loves. He's a good boy but sometimes you have to be a bad boy
to be a good son.

The Blind Man Of Hoy
Red Szell
At nineteen years old and an avid climber, Red Szell learned he was going blind and hung up his harness;
twenty years later with the help of mountain guides and an ever-growing following, Red set out to climb the
perpendicular flanks of the Old Man of Hoy.
Description
'From the moment I watched a documentary of Chris Bonington and Tom Patey climb the perpendicular flanks of the Old
Man of Hoy I knew that my life would not be complete until I had followed in their footholds. That was in 1983 when I was
thirteen. Within months I was tackling my first crags and dreaming of standing atop Europe's tallest sea stack with the
Atlantic pounding 450 feet below. Those dreams went dark at nineteen when I learned I was going blind. I hung up my
harness for twenty years and tried to ignore the twinge of desire I felt every time The Old Man appeared on TV.'
Middle aged, by now a family man, crime novelist and occasional radio personality, Red Szell's life nonetheless felt
incomplete. He was still climbing, but only indoors until he shared his old, unforgotten, dream with his buddies, Matthew
and Andres, and it became obvious that an attempt had to be made. With the help of mountain guides Martin Moran and
Nick Carter, and adventure cameraman Keith Partridge, supported by family and an ever growing following, Red set out
to confront the Orcadian giant.
About the Author
Red Szell is 44, a househusband and crime writer. His first novel Blind Trust was published in 2011 by Indepenpress and
has sold over 2000 copies. He has worked as a journalist and appears regularly on BBC Radio 4 for which he made an
audio-diary of his climb.

Pontiac GTO 50 Years: The Original Muscle Car
Darwin Holmstrom, photographs by David Newhardt
The car that launched the muscle car era and gave the Baby Boomers highspeed wings; this is the most
uptodate GTO history in the current book market.
Description
This is the car that launched the muscle car era and gave the Baby Boomers high-speed wings.Trivia freaks might know
that Pontiac's GTO means Gran Turismo Omologato, but muscle car fans know it earned its nickname..??The Great
One..??at a time when America built the greatest cars on earth. It wasn't the fastest, the most powerful, or the most
outrageous muscle car, but Pontiac's GTO resides at the very top of the pantheon because it was the first.Pontiac GTO
50 Years: The Original Muscle Car follows the rise of this iconic vehicle from the day in 1963 when Chief Engineer John
Z. DeLorean bolted a 389-cubic-inch GTO engine into a prototype Tempest coupe through the final GTO rendition in
2006. Wedding that massive V-8 to a mid-size GM chassis created one of the fastest production cars of the time but also
made it a car just about anyone with a job could afford.It started as an option package that was supposed to be limited to
5,000 units. Instead, word of mouth pushed sales to more than six times that many in its first year.Hundreds of
photographs round out this thoroughly researched history and offer insight into the vehicle that, through redesigns,
repackages, and relaunches, came of age with the Baby Boomer generation. From classic 1960s models to the GTO's
revival in 2004, the exhilarating story of the outlaw that should never have been..??and will never be again..??will thrill
any auto enthusiast.

Chevy Chevelle Fifty Years
Mike Mueller, foreword by Mark Meekins National Chevelle Owners
Association
A fifty-year retrospective of Chevy's beloved Chevelle, from family hauler to badass musclecar bruiser.
Description
A fifty-year retrospective of Chevy's beloved Chevelle, from family hauler to bad-ass muscle-car bruiser. Chevrolet never
intended the Chevelle to be a groundbreaking car. In fact, they intended it to be anything but a ground-breaking car. It
may have been conventional, and it may have used old-fashioned technology, but without a doubt the Chevelle was a
very, very good car--one of the best of its era. Its body-on-frame design, though nothing radical, made it the perfect
platform for harnessing the energy about to be unleashed in the coming horsepower wars. When the dust from the
muscle-car era settled, the Chevelle, in LS6 form, reigned supreme as the fastest American car ever built. Its stout fullperimeter frame ensured that the car would handle all that energy and still last for the long haul. The buying public
appreciated the Chevelle's simple virtues and responded by making the car an unqualified sales success. In its first year,
Chevrolet sold nearly 400,000 Chevelles, outselling the Ford Falcon by nearly 30 percent. When Chevelles disappeared
for good after the 1977 model year, Chevrolet had produced over 7.2 million of them. The Chevelle was built to hold up to
anything their owners could throw at them, and hold up they did. The Chevelle had such a high survival rate that today it
is one of the most common cars seen at car shows across the country--and one of the most beloved. Chevy Chevelle:
Fifty Years celebrates America's half-century love affair with this iconic muscle car. Licensed with General Motors, this
book showcases never-before-seen archival Chevelle photography to which Motorbooks was given unprecedented
access.

New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown - 'the best military writer in the country' (Clive Cussler) - is
back with Starfire, a masterful military thriller that explores a future all too possible and all too close: the
weaponization of space.
Description
With the death of his heroic father, bomber and space warfare veteran Patrick McLanahan, Bradley McLanahan must now
fly solo, leading a team of young engineers designing Starfire, the world's first orbiting solar power plant.

the moon, and even to spacecraft and asteroids. It's a crucial first step in the exploration of the solar system, and Bradley
and his team are on the cutting edge.
But US president Kenneth Phoenix's plans to militarize and industrialize Earth's orbit sparks an arms race in space that
eclipses the darkest and most terrifying days of the Cold War. Before he can prevent it, Bradley and his team are caught
at the center of a battle that threatens to become an all-out global conflict for control of space.

Tregian's Ground: The Life And Sometimes Secret Adventures Of
Francis Tregian, Gentleman And Musician
Anne Cuneo and Louise Rogers Lalaurie
Switzerland's answer to Hilary Mantel, Anne Cuneo draws early modern intrigue on a continental scale. This
novel does for Tregian what The Girl with a Pearl Earring did for Vermeer.
Description
The significance of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book to our musical canon is well known; the remarkable story of its copyist
and compiler, Francis Tregian, less so. Born into Cornish Catholic nobility and plumb into the choppy waters of the
Elizabethan Age, he must rely on his surpassing skill as a musician to survive. In this Prix des Libraires (Booksellers
Prize) winning novel, Anne Cuneo deftly recreates the musician's journey across Renaissance Europe, which sees him
befriending Shakespeare, swapping partitions with William Byrd and Monteverdi, and playing in the court of Henri IV of
France. The result is as gripping as it is authentic: an epic, transcontinental choreography in which Europe's monarchs
tussle with pretenders to their thrones, and ordinary people steer between allegiances to God, nation and family.
About the Author
Anne Cuneo was born in Paris to Italian parents, and raised in Switzerland and in England. She is a writer, filmmaker and
journalist, and holds a degree in literature from the University of Lausanne. Her career spans four decades and fifteen
novels, as well as dozens of plays and scripts for theatre, TV and radio.Originally published in French as Le trajet d'une
riviere, Tregian's Ground was awarded the prestigious Prix des Libraires, which celebrates the best novel published in the
Francophone world each year. It has sold over 120,000 copies across Europe.

opened his notebook again, laid it neatly on the table, and bent over it like a cat with its back arched, 'and I suspect he will
not leave our town until we have all lost our wits'.
Bruno Schulz has foreseen catastrophe and is almost paralysed by fear. His last chance of survival is to leave the home
town to which, despite being in his late forties, he clings as if to a comforting blanket. So he retreats into his cellar (and
sometimes hides under his desk) to write a letter to Thomas Mann: appealing to the literary giant to help him find a foreign
publisher, in order that the reasons to leave Drohobych will finally outweigh the reasons to stay. Evoking Bulgakov and
Singer, Biller takes us on an astounding, burlesque journey into Schulz's world, which vacillates between shining dreams
and unbearable nightmares - a world which, like Schulz's own stories, prophesies the apocalyptic events to come.
Includes two stories by Bruno Schulz: Birds and The Cinnamon Shops from The Street of Crocodiles.

Binocular Vision
Edith Pearlman
The collected stories of an award-winning author who has been compared to Alice Munro, John Updike and
even Chekhov.
Description
Tenderly, observantly, incisivley, Edith Pearlman caputres life on the page like few other writers - its dilemmas, its loves, it
complexity. Spanning 40 years of writing from tsarist Russia to London during the Blitz, from Central America to the coast
of Maine, from Jerusalem to the fictinoal suburb of Godolphin, Massachusettes- these astonishing stories show a writer of
the most exquisitely turned prose, with sensibility all her own: imaginative, compassionate, funny and wise.
About the Author
Edith Pearlman published her debut collection of stories in 1996, at age 60. Last year, she won the National Critics Cricle
Award for Fiction for Binocular Vision. She has published over 250 works of short fiction in maagzines, literary journals,
anthologies and online publications. Her work has won three O.Henry Prizes, the Drue Heinz Prize for Literature, and a
Mary McCarthy Prize, among others.
In 2011, Pearlman was the recipient of the PEN/Melamud Award, which puts her in the ranks of John Updike, Joyce Carol
Oates and other luminaries.

The Spectre Of Alexander Wolf
Gazdanov Gaito
New paper-back edition of this highly acclaimed novel; a psychological thriller and existential enquiry into guilt
and remdemption, coincidence and fate, love and death.
Description
'Of all my memories, of all my life's innumerable sensations, the most onerous was that of the single murder I had
committed.'
A man comes across a short story which recounts in minute detail his killing of a soldier, long ago - from the victim's point
of view. It's a story that should not exist, and whose author can only be a dead man. So begins the strange quest for the
elusive writer 'Alexander Wolf'. A singular classic, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf is a psychological thriller and existential
inquiry into guilt and redemption, coincidence and fate, love and death.
About the Author
Gaito Gazdanov (Georgi Ivanovich Gazdanov, 1903-1971), son of an Ossetian forester, was born in St Petersburg and
brought up in Siberia and Ukraine, he joined Baron Wrangel's White Army in 1919 aged just sixteen, and fought in the
Russian Civil War until the Army's evacuation from the Krimea in 1920. After a brief sojourn in Gallipoli and Contantinople
(where he completed secondary school), he moved to Paris, where he spent eight years variously working as a docker,
washing locomotives, and in the Citroen factory. During periods of unemployment, he slept on park benches or in the
Metro. In 1928, he became a taxi driver, working nights, which enabled him to write and to attend lectures at the
Sorbonne during the day. His first stories began appearing in 1926, in Russian emigre periodicals, and he soon became
part of the literary scene. In 1929 he published An Evening with Claire, which was acclaimed by, among others, Maxim
Gorki and the great critic Vladislav Khodasevich. He died in Munich in 1971, and is buried in the Russian cemetery of
Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois near Paris.

Brilliant and successful, James Marlowe puts in long alcohol and cocaine fuelled hours as an advertising director, creating

lost, might lie behind the fantasy.

kidnapper informing him that 'intolerance will not be tolerated' and that a hostage will be executed unless he arranges for

encounter strange characters such as Chris The Crossword Compiler and Mark Twain (or at least, his namesake) and
hear of an enigmatic organisation of moral vigilantes called The Amino. But who is the kidnapper? What are his/her
motives? And why would he/she wish to pass a death sentence on the narrator?

The Forsaken
Ace Atkins
The extraordinary new novel in New York Times-bestselling author Ace Atkins' acclaimed series about the real
Deep South - "a joy ride into the heart of darkness" (The Washington Post).
Description
Thirty-six years ago, a nameless black man wandered into Jericho, Mississippi, with nothing but the clothes on his back
and a pair of paratrooper boots. Less than two days later, he was accused of rape and murder, hunted down by a selfappointed posse, and lynched.
Now evidence has surfaced of his innocence, and county sheriff Quinn Colson sets out not only to identify the stranger's
remains, but to charge those responsible for the lynching. As he starts to uncover old lies and dirty secrets, though, he
runs up against fierce opposition from those with the most to lose - and they can play dirty themselves.
Soon Colson will find himself accused of terrible crimes, and the worst part is, the accusations just might stick. As the two
investigations come to a head, it is anybody's guess who will prevail - or even come out of it alive.
About the Author
Ace Atkins is a former Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist who cut his teeth as a crime reporter in the newsroom of the
Tampa Tribune. He published his first novel at the age of 27 and became a full-time novelist at 30. Ace lives on a historic

A Cruel Necessity
L.C. Tyler
A John Grey historical mystery.
Description
The theatres are padlocked. Christmas has been cancelled. It is 1657 and the unloved English Republic is eight years
old. Though Cromwell's joyless grip on power appears immovable, many still look to Charles Stuart's dissolute and
threadbare court-in-exile, and some are prepared to risk their lives plotting a restoration.
For the officers of the Republic, constant vigilance is needed. So, when the bloody corpse of a Royalist spy is discovered
on the dung heap of a small Essex village, why is the local magistrate so reluctant to investigate? John Grey, a young
lawyer with no clients, finds himself alone in believing that the murdered man deserves justice. Grey is drawn into a vortex
of plot and counter-plot and into the all-encompassing web of intrigue spun by Cromwell's own spy-master, John Thurloe.
So when nothing is what is seems, can Grey trust anyone?
About the Author
L.C. Tyler was raised in Essex and studied geography at Oxford. He has worked for the British Council in Malaysia,
Sudan, Thailand and Denmark, before turning to full time writing.

Indian teenager a long way from home, is hunting the murderers who dumped her friend overboard and abandoned her to
die. The loner McGill finds his life and liberty threatened as he also pursues a private quest, the tragedy which first
provoked his interest in this unusual line of work: what really happened to his grandfather who was lost at sea?

Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet
M.C. Beaton
The second in the Agatha Raisin murder mysteries complete with brand new cover design.
Description
Agatha lets sleeping vets lie...
Retired PR boss Agatha Raisin is enjoying life in her pretty Cotswold village of Carsely. It even seems likely that the
attractive new vet, Paul Bladen, has taken a shine to her. But before romance can blossom, Paul is killed in an accident
with Lord Pendlebury's horse. Only the circumstances are rather suspicious.
Agatha decides she must once more play amateur investigator. And this cloud has a silver lining - she can persuade her
usually stand-offish neighbour, James Lacey, to become her partner in the quest. As usual, Agatha is quite prepared to
rush in, heedless of the lurking menace to both James and herself.
About the Author
M. C. Beaton is the prolific author of the bestselling Agatha Raisin murder mysteries (featuring man-mad PR-guru-turnedprivate eye Agatha Raisin), the acclaimed Hamish Macbeth mysteries, a quartet of Edwardian murder mysteries and
numerous Regency romances, all published by Constable & Robinson.
Born in Scotland, M. C. Beaton worked for many years as a journalist on Fleet Street. She divides her time between Paris
and a Cotswolds village very much like Agatha's beloved Carsely. Visit www.agatharaisin.com for more on M. C. Beaton

After time away, Agatha Raisin returns to her beloved Cotswold village of Carsely - and to her handsome neighbour,

Fuzz McFlops
Eva Furnari
A brilliant bunny author finds a cure for the blues.
Description
Reclusive rabbit poet Fuzz McFlops has been a loner ever since his classmates teased him for his lopsided ears in his
youth. Their unkindness hurt him deeply, but also served as inspiration for works such as The Withered Carrot and An
Unlucky Rabbit Foot, which have propelled the troubled author to great fame. When a female fan gets in touch asking
why he's so gloomy, the writer responds with typical grumpiness, but as their correspondence continues the two grow
closer, and neither Fuzz's shyness, nor his attacks of anxiety-induced ear spasmitis can prevent a beautiful friendship
from forming...

Wreck of the Whale Ship Essex: The Complete Illustrated Edition: The
Extraordinary and Distressing Memoir That Inspired Herman Melville's
Moby-Dick
Owen Chase, introduction by Gilbert King
The Extraordinary and distressing memoir that inspired Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
Description
Read Owen Chase's memoir which inspired Moby-Dick and In the Heart of the Sea, the major motion picture from Ron
Howard, which will be released March 2015.Owen Chase was the first mate on the ill-fated American whaling ship Essex,
which was attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in the southern Pacific Ocean in 1820. The crew spent months at sea in
leaking boats and endured the blazing sun, attacks by killer whales, and lack of food. The men were forced to resort to
cannibalism before the final eight survivors were rescued. Herman Melville based his 1851 novel, Moby-Dick, on the
sinking.Chase recorded the tale of the ship's sinking and the following events with harrowing clarity in the Wreck of the
Whale Ship Essex.I turned around and saw him about one hundred rods [500 m or 550 yards] directly ahead of us,
coming down with twice his ordinary speed of around 24 knots (44 km/h), and it appeared with tenfold fury and
vengeance in his aspect. The surf flew in all directions about him with the continual violent thrashing of his tail. His head
about half out of the water, and in that way he came upon us, and again struck the ship. - Owen Chase.Filled with art,
photographs, maps, and artifacts, this is a richly illustrated edition of Chase's memoir, augmented with memoirs of other
participants, as well as the perspectives of historians, contemporary and modern.

Steel: From Mine to Mill, the Metal that Made America
Brooke C. Stoddard
What is steel? How does it work? Why has it been so important? Who are the people who make it? How do
they make it? Steel: From Mine to Mill, the Metal that Made America answers these questions.
Description
Steel provides the backbone for modern civilization - read all about its history, journey, and place in the world.What is
steel? How does it work? Why has it been so important? Who are the people who make it? How do they make it? Steel:
From Mine to Mill, the Metal that Made America answers these questions.Improperly understood until about 150 years
ago and available until then only in small quantities, the metal itself is a delicate dance of iron crystals interspersed with
carbon and - depending on intended service - other elements such as nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Once
deciphered, steel began to flow from hearths in increasing amounts for the building of railroads, steel ships, skyscrapers,
and bridges, in the process raising to world economic dominance Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and
the Soviet Union. The world's current largest producer is China.While researching this book, author Brooke C. Stoddard
descended into Mesabi Iron Range open-pit iron mines, rode with 58,000 tons of iron ore on a 1,000-foot ore boat from
Duluth to Cleveland, climbed to the top of the hemisphere's largest blast furnace, interviewed men as they toiled next to
their furnaces of liquid steel, and walked the immense rolling mills where steel is pressed into finished products.Along the
way, he wrote a narrative of iron and steel from pre-history through the Industrial Revolution and into the present age.
Steel is the sinew of modern civilization.

Can I Carry Your Bags?: The Life of a Sports Hack Abroad
Martin Johnson
An irreverent, witty memoir from one of the most renowned sports journalists in the business
Description
In nearly 25 years as a sports journalist for the Independent, Daily Telegraph, and The Sunday Times, Martin Johnson
has covered sporting events all over the world, including cricket and tennis in Australia, golf in America, Formula One in
Kuala Lumpur, boxing in Cairo, petanque in Gran Canaria, beach volleyball in Brazil, Olympics in Sydney, football in
China, and rugby in South Africa.
Sounds like a nice job? You must be joking. Get the true story from sports journalism's equivalent of Victor Meldrew. Ever
tried to get a phone call out of Nagpur? Make contact with the office from Norfolk Island? Trudged several miles up a
Japanese mountain to watch Britain's No 1 woman skier plough straight through the first gate? Attempted to write a semicoherent report after a night out with Ian Botham? Nearly frozen to death at a cricket match in New Zealand? Been hijacked in Moscow by a drunken Russian?
It's hell out there, says Martin, who makes out his case for a life of hardship, deprivation, and a breathless dedication to
duty in the face of overwhelming odds. Frankly, however, we still think it reads more like the Life of Riley.
About the Author
Martin Johnson was born in Monmouthshire in 1949. He was Cricket Correspondent at The Independent for 10 years,
Sports Writer at The Telegraph for 9 years, and is currently Sports Writer at the Sunday Times.

Song publishing is the one constant in the carousel of recorded music now spanning the past century, and has been the

My Documents
Alejandro Zambra and Megan McDowell (Translator)
Intimate, mysterious, and uncanny, these stories reveal a mind that is as undeniably singular as it is universal.
Description
Archived in a folder on award-winning author Alejandro Zambra's desktop are eleven stories of liars and ghosts, armed
bandits and young lovers. Intimate, mysterious, and uncanny, these stories reveal a mind that is as undeniably singular
as it is universal. Together, they constitute the debut short-story collection from Zambra, whose first novel was heralded
as a 'bloodletting in Chilean literature.' Whether chronicling the return of a mercurial godson or the disappearance of a
trusted cousin, the worlds of these stories are so powerful and deep that the works might better be described as brief
novels. My Documents is by turns hilarious and heart-stopping, tragic and tender, but most of all, it is unflinchingly human
and essential evidence of a sublimely talented writer working at the height of his powers.
About the Author
Alejandro Zambra is a Chilean writer, poet, and critic. He currently teaches literature at the Diego Portales University in
Santiago. His first novel, Bonsai, was awarded Chile's Literary Critics' Award for Best Novel. Also the author of The
Private Lives of Trees, and Ways of Going Home, he was selected as one of the Best of Young Spanish Language

About the Author
Lisa T.E. Sonne is an award-wining travel writer, photographer, videographer, and author. Her work in print, online, and
for TV has taken her to all seven continents. Lisa loves experiential travel and seeks experiences worth recommending,
whether ecotourism, voluntouring, edu-travel, adventure, or discovery. She is concerned about preserving the natural
world and cultural traditions. I'm driven to explore the diversity of what humans and nature have created, Lisa says. Some
people call it 'wanderlust.' But for me, it's a love of wonder that motivates me to pack cameras and keyboard and head
out. Awe comes in many guises, she says. I felt it watching Swan Lake from the Tsar's box at the Mariinsky Theater in St.
Petersburg. And I felt it witnessing the Northern lights above the Arctic Circle and the birth of penguin chicks in the
wilderness of Antarctica. I like to convey what I call 'the beauty and the best.'A fourth-generation Californian, Lisa grew up
in the Los Angeles area and has lived in San Francisco, New York City, Moscow (briefly), and just outside London. She
and her husband currently enjoy a home base in the Santa Monica Mountains near Seminole Springs Lake in southern
California. Lisa's writing has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Wired.com, History, Yachting, and American Way
magazines, as well as publications from Time-Life, AAA, and the National Geographic Society. Lisa has also written
and/or produced diverse television series for PBS, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and Animal Planet. Her
video work has explored creativity, animal evolution, and the human brain's mind-body connection. A member of the
distinguished Explorers Club, Lisa has had rare adventures. She has floated weightless with astronauts over Russia,
crawled through newly rediscovered Mexican caves to map them, and banked 200 feet down as the first woman to fly
underwater in a winged submersible.Media Accolades: In 2008, 2010, and 2011, Lisa was honored with travel-writing
awards from NATJA (North American Travel Journalists Association) for stories about safaris in Kenya, discovering the
Baltics, and hang-gliding over America's heartland.

Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th century's most widely read author and poet, is one of America's most renowned storytellers. He

Edgar Allan Poe, both old and new, will delight in this personal, hardcover journal, which pays homage to the author and

the author and ten unique card stock prints of famous quotes from Poe's speeches, poems and stories.
About the Author
Edgar Allan Poe is credited with having pioneered the short story, having perfected the tale of psychological horror, and
having revolutionized modern poetics. The entirety of Poe's body of imaginative work encompasses detective tales,
satires, fables, fantasies, science fiction, verse dramas, and some of the most evocative poetry in the English language.
