Henry Lord & Oliver Gregory Foreword: Seve Ballesteros Photography: Kevin Murray

St Andrews, once Scotland’s greatest city, is known internationally today as the spiritual home of golf, a place that evokes images of windswept seaside links and legendary golfing champions.

This luxurious full-colour visual history is packed with hugely-acclaimed golf photographer Kevin Murray’s spectacular shots and, as the Open Championship returns in 2010, marks the 150th anniversary of golf’s oldest and most prestigious tournament.

It also features a Foreword by one of golf’s all-time great players Seve Ballesteros.

The official book tie-in to the television event of the year, How an innocent 37-year-old farmhand with the mind a Channel 4 two-hour special. of an infant came within minutes of being executed at Sing Sing Prison in New York in 1916 is one of the most fascinating yet little-known stories in Channel 4’s Plane Crash takes a large commercial airliner, fills it with criminal history. cameras, sensors and crash test dummies – and crashes it into the ground at a couple of hundred miles per hour.

Devised, run, and supervised by some of the world’s leading aviation experts, Plane Crash will be one of the most useful experiments ever in the history of aviation – and breathtaking TV. Going into much more detail than is possible in the programme, this official tie-in book will feature hundreds of photographs, the ‘making of’ story of the technical and journalistic efforts to bring the project to life, and untold stories from pilots and aircrew who have survived crashes. It will also provide many new answers to the question: how can we make air crashes more survivable?

Plane Crash is an unmissable, highly visual behind-the-scenes look at 2010’s most dramatic TV event.

Amanda Deehan is a journalist, writer, and radio and television producer.

Slaughter on a Snowy Morn is the first full account of this landmark case, told at thrilling pace by forensic science historian Colin Evans.

The colourful cast list includes New York state governor Charles Whitman, angling for the White House, his nemesis, Sing Sing warden Thomas Mott Osborne, a passionate opponent of the death penalty, and the book’s unsung hero, the obsessively secretive, quietly spoken lawyer Charles E. Waite.

This is a nail-biting account of wrongful conviction, redemption in an age of bare-knuckle politics, cynical courtroom manoeuvring – and American forensic science’s baptism of fire.

Colin Evans is the author of several books specialising in forensics.

These include The Casebook of Forensic Detection: How Science Solved 100 of the World’s Most Baffling Crimes, and Father of Forensics (Icon, 2008)

Golf lovers everywhere will feast on the book’s lavish photographic journey through the medieval city’s cobbled streets, through the doors of many prestigious golf clubs residing within its greystone walls, and around each one of St Andrews’ several great fairways – from the famous Old Course to the stunning new Castle Course.

Henry Lord is the author of the highly acclaimed golf titles Creating Classics (Icon, 2008) and Masters of Design (Icon, 2009).

Oliver Gregory is a graduate of St Andrews University and attended the prestigious Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, as a Bobby Jones Scholar.

The Happiness Equation The Radical Truth Behind Happiness, Wealth and How We Make Decisions

Pygthagoras His Lives and the Legacy of a Rational Universe

30-Second Philosophies The 50 most thought-provoking philosophical ideas, each explained in half a minute

Nick Powdthavee

Kitty Ferguson

The story of Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, whose insights transformed the ancient world and still inspire the realms of science, mathematics, philosophy, and the arts.

The surprising economics of our most valuable asset – happiness – from an author referenced by Freakanomics author Steven Levitt and ‘undercover economist’ Tim Harford.

Everybody wants to be happy. But should I get married? Will I really be elated after having children? How can we decide not only which choice is better, but how much better? The Happiness Equation brings to a general readership for the first time the new science of the economics of happiness.

Behavioural economist and happiness expert Nick Powdthavee explains why happiness from a lottery win takes two years to arrive, why time heals a divorce – but not unemployment – and how George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon can teach us to live happier lives.

‘An important, readable, incisive, and often marvellously funny book.

The author is an international expert in the field and his deep knowledge shines through in the prose.’ Andrew J. Oswald, University of Warwick

Einstein said that the most incredible thing about our universe was that it was comprehensible at all. As Kitty Ferguson explains, Pygthagoras had much the same idea – but 2,500 years earlier.

Though known by many only for his famous Theorem, in fact the pillars of our scientific tradition – belief that the universe is rational, that there is unity to all things, and that numbers and mathematics are a powerful guide to truth about nature and the cosmos – hark back to the convictions of this legendary scholar.

Kitty Ferguson brilliantly evokes Pythagoras’ ancient world, shows how ideas spread in antiquity, and chronicles the incredible influence he and his followers have had on so many extraordinary people in the history of Western thought and science.

Barry Loewer (ed), Stephen Law, Julian Baggini et al

A full-colour illustrated tour through philosophy’s most famous – and most mind-bending – ideas I Think Therefore I Am, Existentialism, Dialectical Materialism?

The Socratic Method and Deconstruction? Even if you’ve heard of philosophy’s biggest ideas, do you know enough about them to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar with your knowledge?

30-Second Philosophies takes a revolutionary approach to getting a grip on the 50 most significant schools of philosophy.

The book challenges leading thinkers to quit fretting about the meaning of meaning for a while and explain the most complex philosophical ideas – using nothing more than two pages, 300 words, and a metaphorical image.

Here, in one unique volume, you have the chance to pick the potted brains of our leading philosophers and understand complex concepts such as Kant’s Categorical Imperative without ending up in a darkened room with an ice pack on your head.

Contributors include Stephen Law, author of The Philosophy Files and Julian Baggini, author of The Pig that Wants to be Eaten.

Also available: 30-Second Theories

Kitty Ferguson was born in San Antonio, Texas.

She now divides her time between New Jersey and Cambridge. An experienced science writer, her previous books include Stephen Hawking: Quest for a Theory of Everything.

Delusions of Gender The Real Science Behind Sex Differences

The Ryder Cup A History

Cordelia Fine

01.

02.

Bruce Critchley Foreword: Colin Montgomerie

A new history of the golfing calendar’s biggest event, by Sky Sports commentator and former star player Bruce Critchley. Includes a Foreword

by Colin Montgomerie, Europe’s captain for this year’s match in Wales.

A vehement attack on the latest pseudo-scientific claims about the differences between the sexes.

Sex discrimination is supposedly a distant memory. Yet popular books, magazines and even scientific articles increasingly defend inequalities by citing immutable biological differences between the male and female brain. Why are there so few women in science and engineering, so few men in the laundry room? Well, they say, it’s our brains.

Drawing on the latest research in developmental psychology, neuroscience, and social psychology, Delusions of Gender rebuts these claims, showing how old myths, dressed up in new scientific finery, help perpetuate the status quo.

Cordelia Fine reveals the mind’s remarkable plasticity, shows the substantial influence of culture on identity, and, ultimately, exposes just how much of what we consider ‘hardwired’ is actually malleable.

This startling, original and witty book shows the surprising extent to which boys and girls, men and women are made – and not born.

Cordelia Fine, the author of A Mind of Its Own (Icon, 2006), is a Research Associate at the Centre for Agency, Values and Ethics in the Department of Philosophy at Macquarie University, Australia, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Covering the spirited early years of the Ryder Cup in the 1920s – when the British Isles versus the USA was a regularly one-sided affair – the inclusion of Europe in 1979, and the gladiatorial clashes since, this is an authoritative and up-to-date chronicle of this fascinating tournament.

Critchley recounts the charismatic captaincy of Tony Jacklin, the cavalier brilliance of Seve Ballesteros, and, against all odds, triumph for Europe on American soil, first achieved in 1987 at Muirfield Village, Ohio.

With approximately one billion people watching 2010’s Ryder Cup, the popularity of the biennial contest has never been greater, and this new history will be the perfect 19th-hole companion.

Bruce Critchley played for Great Britain and Ireland against the USA in the Walker Cup and has commentated on golf tournaments for the last 25 years, on the BBC and as the leading golf commentator on Sky, for whom he will cover the 2010 Cup.

Love, Sex, Death and Words Surprising Tales from a Year in Literature

Could Mankind Do Without Scaffolding?

The Fifty Greatest Ideas that Have Changed Humanity

John Sutherland and Stephen Fender

Love, sex, death, boredom, ecstasy, existential angst, political upheaval – the history of literature offers a rich and varied exploration of the human condition across the centuries.

In this absorbing companion to literature’s rich past, arranged by days of the year, acclaimed critics and friends Stephen Fender and John Sutherland turn up the most inspiring, enlightening, surprising or curious artefacts that literature has to offer.

Find out why 16 June 1904 mattered so much to Joyce, which great literary love affair was brought to a tragic end on 11 February 1963 and why Roy Campbell punched Stephen Spender on the nose on 14 April 1949 in this sumptuous voyage through the highs and lows of literature’s bejewelled past.

John Sutherland was the Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern English Literature at UCL and a past Chairman of the Booker Prize panel, and is the author of one of the standard texts on Victorian fiction.

Stephen Fender has taught Literature in the US, in Scotland at the University of Edinburgh, and in England at London and Sussex, where he was head of American Studies from 1985 to 2003.

01.

John Farndon

What do you think is the greatest idea ever? Where would humanity be now without fire, poetry, Rationalism, God ... or scaffolding?

Weaving has provided us with historical tapestries and clothes; electric light enables us to illuminate our cities, but then sewers allowed those cities to grow ... Justice, Writing, The Internet, Property, Banking, Romance … which is best?

John Farndon, author of the bestselling Do You Think You’re Clever?, presents a unique project to find out. A shortlist of the 50 greatest ideas will be chosen by a panel of experts and then ranked online by the public before publication. The book then argues the fascinating case for each idea.

Both an eye-opening journey for the mind and a primer for the armchair intellectual, Could Mankind Do Without Scaffolding? distils humankind’s most powerful, intellectual, social, scientific and creative brainwaves. But do you agree?

John Farndon is the author of many popular reference books including Do You Think You’re Clever?

Love, Sex, Death and Words Surprising Tales from a Year in Literature

Could Mankind Do Without Scaffolding?

The Fifty Greatest Ideas that Have Changed Humanity

John Sutherland and Stephen Fender

Love, sex, death, boredom, ecstasy, existential angst, political upheaval – the history of literature offers a rich and varied exploration of the human condition across the centuries.

In this absorbing companion to literature’s rich past, arranged by days of the year, acclaimed critics and friends Stephen Fender and John Sutherland turn up the most inspiring, enlightening, surprising or curious artefacts that literature has to offer.

Find out why 16 June 1904 mattered so much to Joyce, which great literary love affair was brought to a tragic end on 11 February 1963 and why Roy Campbell punched Stephen Spender on the nose on 14 April 1949 in this sumptuous voyage through the highs and lows of literature’s bejewelled past.

John Sutherland was the Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern English Literature at UCL and a past Chairman of the Booker Prize panel, and is the author of one of the standard texts on Victorian fiction.

Stephen Fender has taught Literature in the US, in Scotland at the University of Edinburgh, and in England at London and Sussex, where he was head of American Studies from 1985 to 2003.

John Farndon

What do you think is the greatest idea ever? Where would humanity be now without fire, poetry, Rationalism, God ... or scaffolding?

Weaving has provided us with historical tapestries and clothes; electric light enables us to illuminate our cities, but then sewers allowed those cities to grow ... Justice, Writing, The Internet, Property, Banking, Romance … which is best?

John Farndon, author of the bestselling Do You Think You’re Clever?, presents a unique project to find out. A shortlist of the 50 greatest ideas will be chosen by a panel of experts and then ranked online by the public before publication. The book then argues the fascinating case for each idea.

Both an eye-opening journey for the mind and a primer for the armchair intellectual, Could Mankind Do Without Scaffolding? distils humankind’s most powerful, intellectual, social, scientific and creative brainwaves. But do you agree?

John Farndon is the author of many popular reference books including Do You Think You’re Clever?

Socrates vs. Jesus The Struggle for the Meaning of Life

Braid’s Best The Golf Courses of James Braid

Luca Caioli

Steve Fuller

01.

02.

03.

Henry Lord and Peter Pugh

A lavish, full-colour exploration of the illustrious golfer and course designer James Braid, from the authors of Creating Classics and Masters of Design.

James Braid was one of the greatest players in the history of golf, winning five Open Championships in the first decade of the 20th century. But he was also an accomplished course architect, designing layouts from the majestic Highland tranquillity of Gleneagles to the rugged linksland beauty of St Enodoc in Cornwall, courses that today rank as some of the finest in the world.

In this seasonal intellectual broadside, iconoclastic popular sociologist Steve Fuller reclaims Jesus as a philosophical thinker – and one who really puts his money where his mouth is…

Socrates and Jesus are among Western culture’s most iconic figures.

They are even offered as exemplars of what it means to be human.

Both are notable for their forthright views on the extent of moral obligation and the limits of knowledge, the meaning of life and the prospects of an afterlife. They were also both ‘celebrities’, and both died to make a point.

But how do the lives of Socrates and Jesus look to 21st-century eyes?

Would either attract a following today?

Steve Fuller compares Socrates and Jesus as guides to living today and, in a point that will prove controversial to our secular reverence for Socrates, he argues that Jesus is the more demanding philosopher – and that Socrates is really just a Christ-lite.

Luca Caioli, bestselling author of Torres and Messi, presents Arsenal’s talismanic playmaker and captain Cesc Fabregas.

A product, like Leo Messi, of the famed Barcelona youth academy, Fabregas has established himself as one of the stars of the Premier League.

Caioli follows his meteoric rise from his small hometown of Vilassar de Mar to his move in 2003 aged just sixteen to the Arsenal side that won the Premier League undefeated and his European Championship winner’s medal with Spain.

Based on exclusive interviews with those closest to him, including his family, his mentor, Vicente Del Bosque, Thierry Henry, Arsène Wenger, Leo Messi and Cesc himself, Fabregas is a uniquely personal insight to the 22-year-old hailed as one of the best players of his generation.

Luca Caioli is a renowned Italian sports journalist who writes for Il Corriere della Sera.

Braid’s Best celebrates the life and work of this remarkable Scotsman, who grew from modest beginnings as a joiner to become one of the most admired sporting heroes of his or any other generation.

Henry Lord is the author of the highly acclaimed golf titles Creating Classics (Icon, 2008), Masters of Design (Icon, 2009) and St Andrews: The Home of Golf (Icon 2010).

Peter Pugh was a member of Cambridge University golf team, playing on many of the courses featured in Braid’s Best.

God’s Philosophers How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science

Crashed & Byrned The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw

A Carpet Ride to Khiva Hope for Animals Seven Years on the Silk Road and Their World How Endangered Species Christopher Aslan Alexander are Being Rescued from the Brink

James Hannam

A powerful and thrilling narrative history revealing the roots of modern science in the medieval world.

‘This wonderful book ... With an engaging fervour, James Hannam has set about rescuing the reputation of a bunch of half-forgotten thinkers, and he shows how they paved the way for modern science.’

Boris Johnson, Mail on Sunday ‘A spirited jaunt through centuries of scientific development ... captures the wonder of the medieval world: its inspirational curiosity and its engaging strangeness.’

Sunday Times ‘This book contains much valuable material summarised with commendable no-nonsense clarity … James Hannam has done a fine job of knocking down an old caricature.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Hannam, the liveliest of guides, makes enjoyable reading out of some seriously dusty history and difficult ideas.’ Scotsman ‘Here, in short, is a readable book, aimed at an intelligent but ignorant layman. You’ll enjoy it.’ Daniel Hannan MEP, Daily Telegraph Dr James Hannam was educated at Oxford and Cambridge where he studied physics and then the history of science.

Tommy Byrne and Mark Hughes

‘One of the best racing books you’ll read this decade’ Autosport ‘One of the most extraordinary sporting autobiographies you are likely to come across ... I challenge you to put it down. It might just be the greatest book you’ve never read.’ Daily Telegraph Tommy Byrne was the 1980 Double British Formula Ford 1600 champion, the 1981 British Formula Ford 2000 champion and also the European Formula Ford 2000 champion. In 1982 – having also become British F3 champion – he entered Formula One, but by the following year had disappeared without trace.

Mark Hughes is recognised as one of Formula One’s top journalists.

In the walled city of Khiva in Uzbekistan, on the route of the ancient Silk Road, Chris Alexander discovered a world torn between Marx and Mohammed: a place where veils and vodka freely mingle against a backdrop of forgotten carpet designs, crumbling but magnificent Islamic architecture and scenes drawn straight from The Arabian Nights.

Alexander’s poignant and touching memoir of the seven years he spent there sees him stripped naked at a former Soviet youth camp, crawling through silkworm droppings in an attempt to record their life-cycle, distinguishing natural dyes from sacks of opium in northern Afghanistan, and seeking sanctuary as an anti-Western riot consumed the Kabul carpet bazaar.

‘Alexander is an excellent guide through the chaos of local life, and his writing is thick with his adventures in this walled city, drawing a vivid portrait of the domestic lives of his Uzbek hosts with great affection and humour, while also casting his eye over the history of trade on the Silk Road.’ Sunday Telegraph Christopher Aslan Alexander was born in Turkey and grew up in war-torn Beirut.

At a time when animal species are becoming extinct on every continent and we are confronted with bad news about the environment nearly every day, Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most renowned scientists, brings us new hope for the future of the animal kingdom.

With the insatiable curiosity and conversational prose that have made her a bestselling author, Hope for Animals and Their World – which features a stunning array of beautiful photographs – reveals fascinating survival stories about formerly endangered species whose populations are now recovering.

The Soldier A History of Courage, Sacrifice and Brotherhood

Fordlandia The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford’s Forgotten Jungle City

Darren Moore

Greg Grandin

The Lucky Bugger’s Casebook Tales of Serendipity and Outrageous Good Fortune

Focusing on the period from the Napoleonic Wars to the Global War on Terror, Darren Moore draws upon hundreds of narrative accounts of warfare written by soldiers from forces throughout the world to tell their story in this penetrating insight into the politics, emotions and psychology of war and its aftermath.

‘This is a powerful book, and should be read by anyone contemplating taking the queen’s shilling.’

Max Arthur, The Lady ‘A thoughtful study of the impact of fighting on the individual soldier in which [Moore] examines the process by which armies try to “develop an empathetic distance” between new recruits and the enemy they might face one day’ Daily Mail ‘A very rich book that thoroughly explores the psychology and behaviour of the soldier on the frontline’ Military Illustrated ‘An intriguing look at the emotion, psychology and politics that underpin soldiering … essential reading’ Soldier Darren Moore served in the Australian Army for seventeen years and held the rank of major when he left the service.

Greg Grandin’s massively acclaimed Fordlandia is the powerful fable of the pride and arrogance of the man who thought he alone could tame the Amazon. Filled with clash and contradiction, it is the battle between industrialised capitalism and the raw power of nature; it is the struggle too within Ford himself, the man who despised the new America that he himself had set in motion.

‘Greg Grandin’s compelling new book [is] both a merciless exposé of misplaced idealism and a detailed study of the economic forces behind it.’ Guardian

What connects the discovery of America, the creation of Coca-Cola and the art book bought for £50 that turned out to contain original Picassos? That’s right: sheer blind luck. No matter how meticulously things are planned, time after time the most important bits of life are the product of simple, random chance.

From the Japanese trader who made a fortune after a share price typo to the German novelist who lost his manuscript on a train, and ended up buying some fish wrapped in his own pages at the station, The Lucky Bugger’s Casebook is a celebration of the type of unexpected good fortune we all dream of – just ask Sir Paul McCartney, who awoke one morning with the tune to ‘Yesterday’ having arrived in his head overnight.

Daniel Smith

An upbeat collection of good-luck stories and fortuitous serendipity.

In 1927, Henry Ford, the richest man in the world, bought a 5,000-square-mile tract of land in the Brazilian Amazon. There he built not only a rubber plantation but an entire town, aiming to recreate his vision of what America should be. By 1949 it was abandoned in ruins.

Fighting Fantasy: Howl of the Werewolf

Fighting Fantasy: Armies of Death

Steve Jackson

Ian Livingstone

Lupravia is a cursed land; a chill place of snow-capped mountains, brooding forests and mist-shrouded moors, haunted by the spirits of the restless dead. Only the foolhardy or insane would enter that benighted realm of predators.

But enter you must, after a vicious wolf attack sets you on the path to murder and madness.

Steadily succumbing to the beast within, YOU must seek out a cure to your condition before the next full moon. But how long can you survive in a land where all live in fear of the Howl of the Werewolf?

Steve Jackson is, with Ian Livingstone, the originator of the Fighting Fantasy series. He is also a co-founder of the Games Workshop. Since Fighting Fantasy’s huge success, he has become a major figure in world of computer games, and was a founder of Lionhead Studios, the name behind Black & White.

The kingdom of Allansia is under threat. Agglax the evil Zombie-Lord is amassing an army of undead warriors in easter Allansia, beyond the Forest of Fiends. His army increases in size with every attack it makes on the local villages and every day its ranks are swelled with slaughtered victims under Agglax’s evil spell. Unless they are stopped now, the undead will take over the entire kingdom.

YOU are Allansia’s only hope. Your mission is to raise an army which will defeat the terrifying undead troops... but how can you conquer an army which grows in numbers with every battle it fights?

Ian Livingstone is, with Steve Jackson, the originator of the Fighting Fantasy series. He is also a co-founder of the Games Workshop.

Since Fighting Fantasy’s huge success, he has become a major figure in world of computer games, and is currently Creative Director of Eidos, the name behind Tomb Raider. He was recently made an OBE.
