Blurring the boundaries between art and food they have exhibited at the Barbican, SFMOMA and Salone Del Mobile, designed jellies with some of the world's leading architects and invented the world's first flavour-changing chewing gum. They have featured on TV shows around the world and regularly in the national and international press.

200 colour illustrations | 272 pages | 234 x 156 mm

Over 200 colour illustrations | 200 pages | 230 x 200 mm

• Rigorously researched with the co-operation of the whisky industry • An objective classification of single malt whiskies by flavour totally revised and rebased for 2012 • Published in time for Christmas/New Year and the main whisky festivals of Speyside and Islay

• The best basic beer primer on the market • Beer jargon and myths debunked • Beer styles from around the world, with flavour profiles and beers to try

Ten years ago, Whisky Classified revolutionized our appreciation of single malt whisky. David Wishart cut through the confusing jargon often used to describe single malts and replaced it with an objective and easily applied guide to taste using a new flavour profile. Twelve dimensions to the aroma and taste of a single malt whisky were identified: body, sweetness, smoky, medicinal, tobacco, honey, spicy, winey, nutty, malty, fruity, floral. In this revised and updated anniversary edition, Dr Wishart has included all current UK and Irish producers of single malt whisky. Each entry includes a short description of the distillery, information for visitors, the author's own tasting notes and his flavour profiles according to this innovative classification. The history of whisky-making and production methods are clearly explained, as well as how to organize a whisky tasting.

This is the definitive guide to tasting malt whisky.

David Wishart became interested in malt whisky when, as a mathematics undergraduate at St Andrews, he was first introduced to cask-strength Laphroaig by his father. He is Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Management, University of St Andrews. Dr Wishart has published the technical aspects of Whisky Classified in international journals and presented it widely. His recent work includes conducting surveys in the whisky industry to validate his classification, designing software and lecturing.

Beer is the world’s favourite drink, yet too often it’s shrouded in mystery, myth and complex-sounding terminology. This no-nonsense guide cuts straight through all of this, with simple advice on how to seek out and enjoy the immense range of flavours on offer, in Melissa’s trademark chatty style.

The maxim that beer should always be fun runs right through this book. Melissa covers all the key essentials: Flavours – explore the tastes you most enjoy and find other similar beers; Practical details – choose, buy, serve and taste beer with confidence; Food and beer matching – find the beer to complement your food; Beer styles – explore the main styles from around the world; Recommendations – over 150 recommended beers to try.

A true beginner’s guide written in an unpretentious and easy-to-read style.

Melissa Cole is one of the UK’s leading beer experts, with 10 years' experience of writing and broadcasting about brewing, pubs and the hospitality industry. Her regular appearances in leading food & drink shows, on radio, published work and popular blog (Taking the Beard Out of Beer), combined with a willingness to get her hands dirty by guest brewing at leading breweries, has gained her much respect from within the industry. Melissa also judges at many of the USA and Europe’s top beer shows.

• Follow-up to the acclaimed Persia in Peckham • An inspirational and uplifting read as well as a goldmine of over 100 vegetarian recipes • A beautifully photographed culinary and cultural tour

• A guide to rediscovering lost kitchen skills and getting the best out of your storecupboard or larder • Tips and techniques teaching essential skills such as pickling, preserving, curing, rendering, preparing pâtés and terrines, jam-making and baking bread • More than 100 delicious recipes and unmissable tips

Veggiestan – literally: land of the vegetables. There is of course no such word, and no such country. But in this upbeat guide to Middle Eastern vegetarian cookery Sally Butcher proves the region more than merits the term, and that its constituent nations are simmering, bubbling, bursting with sumptuous vegetarian traditions and recipes. Written in her trademark engaging and knowledgeable style, Sally takes a fresh look at many of the more exciting ingredients available on our high streets today as well as providing a host of delicious recipes made with more familiar fare. From fragrant Persian noodle rice to gingery tamarind aubergines, pink pickled turnips and rose petal jam this book is filled with aromatic herbs and spices, inspiring ideas and all the knowledge needed to cook wonderful vegetarian food.

Sally Butcher runs the acclaimed Persian food store Persepolis in London. Her first book, Persia in Peckham, was published to critical acclaim and short-listed for the 2008 Andre Simon Award. It was also selected by the Sunday Times as their cookery book of the year. When Sally is not running her shop, she writes for a well-known blogsite.

Many of us remember jams and chutneys made by grandmothers and great aunts who also seemed to know exactly how long to boil a ham and how to keep butter, and who had a magical pantry full of secret delights.

These skills are increasingly in demand as more of us want to make use of homegrown produce, reduce the weekly food budget or rediscover cooking from scratch. A timely book for the new kitchen revolution, Waxed Paper, Ham, Pickles & Jam is not only a celebration of lost skills such as curing, rendering and pickling and a collection of fantastic recipes, but also provides advice on stocking a cupboard or pantry and the best way to store cheese, cooked meats and vegetables. At a time when we are all looking to shop more locally, cook thriftily and still enjoy great food, it is a book for how we live today.

Chef, prolific author and journalist, Thane loves food and has been cooking and writing about it for 20 years. For 12 years she was the food writer for The Daily Telegraph ‘Weekend’ section and is a regular contributor to BBC Good Food Magazine. She has written 10 books; her most recent was translated into 5 languages. She set up and ran the acclaimed Aldeburgh Cookery School, and now runs bespoke cookery courses. She lives in London and continues to write, teach and eat.

Colour photographs throughout | 192 pages | 290 x 225 mm

Colour photographs throughout | 192 pages | 290 x 225 mm

• One of Hollywood's best-loved stars, Cary Grant has enduring appeal • A celebration of the debonair, gentleman actor of over 70 films • Beautifully arranged, his 'life in pictures' captures the essence of who Cary Grant was

• Frank Sinatra's career spanned more than 60 years and his popularity is still firmly intact • Features rare and intimate photographs of Sinatra, 'the Voice' • A captivating biography of the superstar of movies and music

Cary Grant enjoys a special status in Hollywood; he embodies masculine chic. He was the inspiration for Ian Fleming’s famous British spy, James Bond: a mixture of chic, virility and sex appeal. Interestingly, in 1962, Cary Grant actually turned down the role of Agent 007, James Bond, in the film Dr No. However, far from being just a dandy with a sense of humour, Cary Grant was an accomplished actor, nominated twice for an Oscar and five times for a Golden Globe, as well as Alfred Hitchcock’s favourite actor.

A dandy, a crooner and an actor, talented and scandalous, as close to the Kennedys as to the underworld barons, Frank Sinatra fascinates. Coming from a small town in New Jersey, the bad boy married Ava Gardner and conquered Hollywood, starring in over 60 films and winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1953 for his role in From Here to Eternity.

This book provides a pictorial account of his fascinating life story. It's the story of Archie Leach, born in England into poverty, and who transformed himself into Cary Grant and became rich and famous in America. With his suave, debonair personality, he conquered Hollywood and became an intimate friend of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Sofia Loren. He was a leading man for over 30 years and ended his days as an influential actor and businessman, with all the trappings of success – a magnificent manor house, a private jet and the sumptuous leather of a Rolls-Royce with a ‘CG1’ licence plate.

It’s thanks to music, however, that his talent gained worldwide recognition. Nicknamed ‘The Voice’ by the international press, Sinatra imposed his unique style and sold over 150 million albums in his 62-year career.

Sinatra can be seen as a monumental artist. His life is summed up in one of his first hits: ‘Nothing but the Best’; he was always associated with the best composers, best musicians and best arrangers. In his personal life it was also the best vintage wine, the most beautiful women and all the extravagant luxury that accompanies a superstar (and some would say a bad boy’s) life.

Frank Sinatra: A Life in Pictures recalls this exceptional journey through a captivating biography and rare and intimate photographs.

• Tolkien's trilogy has enormous international appeal, in this book discover Tolkien's magic , his sources and inspiration • Authoritative text by Tolkien expert David Day • Beautifully illustrated by acclaimed artist Alan Lee

From their first Top Of the Pops to out-takes from It’s My Life, Queen: On Camera, Off Guard includes a fantastic selection of images from one of the world’s best-loved supergroups. Featuring pictures from 1969 to 1982, the images include the first ever photographs of Freddie Mercury as a performer with Ibex in Bolton in June 1969 taken by songwriter Chris Smith who recounts his experiences of the night. Further early images of Mercury include pictures taken at Ealing Art College and outside his flat in Shepherd’s Bush where Queen’s first official photo session took place in 1973. Images from their first Japanese tour, from the Fat Bottomed Girls cover shoot, on tour in South America with Mercury’s boyfriend and many many more allow us to get closer to Mercury and the rest of the band than any previous book. Furthermore, many of the photographers of these amazing images give their insights and stories, providing an intimate insight into Queen backstage, onstage and at play.

J.R.R. Tolkien had a great knowledge of, and love for, world mythology when he wrote his beloved trilogy of Middle Earth. In particular, the symbol of the Ring has a rich and fascinating heritage, and this beautifully illustrated literary detective work tracks down Tolkien's sources and inspiration. Written authoritatively by David Day, it shows how The Lord of the Rings is the result of an ancient story-telling tradition that dates back to the dawn of western cultures; and how, by drawing upon the world's primary myths and legends, J.R.R Tolkien created his own mythology for the twentieth century.

Beautifully illustrated throughout by the acclaimed artist Alan Lee (creator of the illustrated Lord of the Rings), Tolkien's Ring is an extraordinary journey through the most magical and potent stories the people of our world have ever told one another.

Mark Hayward is an established collector of music and popular culture photography and memorabilia, who has gathered an unrivalled collection of material over the last 25 years. His previous books include The Beatles: On Camera, Off Guard and The Rolling Stones: On Camera, Off Guard.

Robin has travelled the world photographing the Royal family since the early 1980s, and his work continues to be published in newspapers and magazines around the globe.

William & Kate Wedding Edition Robin Nunn 9781862059214 | £14.99 | May | HB Over 150 colour photographs | 160 pages | 265 x 208 mm

• Includes full coverage of the long-awaited royal wedding • Features many entirely exclusive images from top royal photographer, Robin Nunn • Authoritative text from royal correspondent, Jonathan Haydon This unique book is a fully illustrated biography of a very modern, some would say unprecedented, British royal romance between the man who will one day be king and a beautiful, middle-class English girl. It is also the story of a love that will, arguably, help shape the future of the monarchy as a 21st century institution. In a series of outstanding pictures Robin Nunn, the UK’s leading royal photographer, examines the intertwined lives of Prince William, second in line to the throne and grandson of Her Majesty the Queen, and Catherine ‘Kate’ Elizabeth Middleton, daughter of self-made millionaires. This book provides the perfect opportunity to find out more about the young, beautiful woman who seems to have captured the heart of the country's most eligible man. From their first meeting at St Andrews University and the extraordinary moment at William’s passing out parade at Sandhurst, when Kate became a global figure of fascination and speculation in her own right, to their wedding in April 2011, the book offers a comprehensive, insightful look at a defining relationship that helps secure the British Monarchy for the next generation.

Agent Provocateur: Secrets 9781862057203 | £9.99 | HB

A sumptuously produced boxed kit in the shape of a book. Open it up and you will find 52 Charades, a mini rule book, an egg timer and a satin mouth tie to ensure the player does not speak and must use physical gestures only. Each card displays the name of a book, film, play or song that must be acted out and guessed by the other player(s). Miming the charades will require a flirtatious tongue-in-cheek approach and the egg timer adds jeopardy to the game, urging the actor to make their charade guessable within 3 minutes.

The rule book also includes snippets of the history of this vintage Victorian parlour game. Whether you are miming or guessing Top Gun, Breathless, or Sweet & Lowdown, this game is the perfect gift for anyone you desire.

9781905400669 | £30 | HB

The National Trust has the finest collection of gardens ever assembled under one ownership – the greatest in number, diversity, historic importance and quality. Taken together they contain the world's most important collection of cultivated plants, distinguished for their beauty, rarity, historical interest and scientific value. This edition has been substantially revised to showcase superb new photography and to introduce 9 recently acquired properties, such as Sheringham Park in Norfolk and Wordsworth House in Cumbria, along with fascinating practical gardening guides from the Trust's expert head gardeners.

Stephen Lacey paints a vivid picture of individual Trust gardens through historical and horticultural perspectives. He gives his personal take, describing the present state of each and placing it firmly within the context of gardening history in Britain. All the major periods are represented: a knot garden from a 1640 design at Moseley Old Hall in Staffordshire; magnificent eighteenth-century landscapes such as 'Capability' Brown's at Petworth in Sussex; Victorian Gardens like Biddulph Grange in Staffordshire, with its wealth of new plants introduced from all over the world; and the famous plantsmen's gardens of the last century, such as Sissinghurst Castle in Kent and Hidcote in Gloucestershire.

NATIONAL TRUST NATURE

Julian Hight trained as a graphic designer and musician but his interest in trees started at a young age as he was often taken to Windsor Great Park as a child. He has worked in book publishing all his life and is currently Design Manager at Francis Frith Collection. Julian is an active member of the Woodland Trust.

Britain’s Tree Story Julian Hight 9781907892202 | £20 | September | HB 250 illustrations | 256 pages | 220 x 220 mm

• Lovingly researched celebration of Britain's oldest and most famous trees told through history, literature and legend • Superbly illustrated with archive photographs and engravings, together with contemporary colour photographs • Published in association with the National Trust and with a foreword by The Woodland Trust A lavishly illustrated tribute to Britain's oldest, largest and most famous trees told through legends, history and literature. Trees have always inspired awe and wonder and some of our ancient trees have been standing for over a thousand years. In this lovingly researched and fascinating book Julian Hight looks at the most interesting of them and compares archive photographs and engravings with contemporary colour photographs.

Some of the trees featured have changed drastically over the centuries, while others seem to have hardly changed at all. Many of the trees in Britain's Tree Story do not reside in forests but are often found in heavily populated areas, yet some have stood for millennia and been silent witnesses of our history and heritage.

Britain's Tree Story is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated celebration of Britain's trees and the intriguing legends and stories that surround them.

• From Steak and Kidney Pie and Lancashire Hotpot to Coq Au Vin and Luxury Fish Pie, stews and pies are the ultimate comfort food • Prepared ahead or left to cook gently during the afternoon, there are few meals that are simpler to make or better for sharing with friends • All recipes can be made with inexpensive cuts of meat and added to with seasonal ingredients or whatever you have to hand Delicious, slow-cooked ingredients simmering in the cooking pot or inside a homemade pastry crust are among life's greatest simple pleasures. Easy and economical, pies and stews are simple to make and can be thrown together in minutes, making a filling and nutritious meal that can be left to cook gently while you get on with the rest of your day. The ultimate comfort food, they make good use of inexpensive cuts of meat and are very versatile – ingredients can be altered or added depending on the season, mood or whatever is to hand in the cupboard. Laura Mason presents a selection of quality recipes for every palate, including beef, veal, lamb, pork, chicken (of course), game, fish and vegetables. From Lancashire Hotpot, Lamb Casserole and Chicken Pie to luxury Fish Pie with Potato Topping and Irish Stew with Dumplings, there is something here for everyone, whatever the occasion.

• From the cook, butler and housekeeper to the footman, lady's maid and nanny, this is a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of some of Britain's grandest houses • An entertaining social history, steering the reader through the minefield of etiquette and hierarchy that kept Britain's great houses running like clockwork • A bygone era is brought vividly to live through letters, journals, interviews, lively descriptions and stunning photography of the places and possessions left behind

34

The largely untold stories of innumerable, rather humble, lives spent ‘in service’ are lying just below the surface of many great houses; the physical evidence can be seen in surviving servants’ quarters, the material of their everyday life, even their uniforms and possessions. Giving a fascinating insight into the hierarchy within the servant's quarters – from the powerwielding cook to the ever-discreet butler – this guide describes how relationships were forged and changed as the gap between upstairs and downstairs was bridged. Describing their typical working day as well as the holidays, entertainments and pastimes enjoyed on a rare day off, not to mention the whirl of the social season, this previously ‘unwritten history’ recalls vividly the nature of their lives below stairs.

Over 500 colour illustrations | 240 pages | 220 x 220 mm

Over 250 colour illustrations | 208 pages | 220 x 220 mm

• A captivating anthology of over 400 classic jazz covers from Prestige, Atlantic, Contemporary, Pacific and Riverside labels • From Graham Marsh and Glyn Callingham, authors of The Cover Art of Blue Note Records • A timeless collector’s piece for all music fans

• Everything you need to know to create Manga Art, as taught by the experts • Produced with ImagineFX, the world’s leading fantasy magazine • New title in this leading fantasy art series

Along with Blue Note records, the Prestige, Atlantic, Contemporary and Pacific and Riverside Labels were the chief providers of America’s East and West Coast sounds on vinyl. The hard-edged, straight ahead playing of New York’s jazz musicians was perfectly reflected in the moody, monochromatic photography, quirky graphics and bold typography of the record covers: the look, like the sound, was intelligent, disciplined and sophisticated.

On the West, the bright colours and playful themes expressed the funky sounds of the US's cool, California cool. For the first time ever, Coast to Coast Album Covers brings the two together under one very cool roof.

Graham Marsh is an art director, illustrator and writer of many groundbreaking books including The Cover Art of Blue Note Records (9781843405993).

Glyn Callingham is a walking encyclopedia on jazz of the 50s and 60s and runs the legendary Ray's Jazz Shop in London. He is the co-author of The Cover Art of Blue Note Records and contributes to several jazz magazines.

The ImagineFX team have turned their expertise to Manga Art for fantasy artists who want to progress to the next level. With reference to creative painting programs (including Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel Painter), the book explains, with the help of step-by-step instructions and screen grabs, how to progress from basic 'pencil' roughs to first stage line art and ultimately finished colour art.

• 101 brilliant and unique ways to help you become a lot smarter than you are • A definitive guide to how you can get more from your brain; how you can use it to do more, learn more and feel more • An entertaining, and informative, study of the brain and how important it is

• You're It! is a wonderful way to learn, relive and pass on the fun games you remember from when you were a child • Contains the games French Skipping, 1-2-3 In, Rounders, Tag, Hide and Seek and Hopscotch plus many, many more • Follow-up to the bestselling Are We There Yet?

‘The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around’ – Thomas Edison.

You’re It! is a brilliantly observed hop, skip and jump down memory lane; a celebration of the days when you used to get home from school, hop out of your school clothes, skip over to your best friend's house and jump around all afternoon until Mum called you in for tea. Nowadays, those classic – and universal – games of Hopscotch, Skipping, Bulldog and Hide and Seek are almost forgotten, rarely played, rarely passed on as generations come and go. With You’re It! you can relive those fun and silly games in this beautifully illustrated, wonderfully nostalgic book celebrating the games we remember from our childhoods as well the days themselves.

Are you always the last person to get the joke? Do you get a headache when you try and add 34 to 97? Do the words that come out of Stephen Fry’s mouth just sound like nonsensical mumbo-jumbo? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then you need help.

How To Be A Genius is an informative and fun 101 ways to train your brain into an intellectual athlete! The book contains 101 tricks to help improve your memory skills, mind-workout techniques, how to win at brain games such as chess and fine tune your mind to help with all areas of your life – from boosting your creativity to revision skills. The book also contains fascinating insight into areas such as Mnemonics, emotional intelligence, brainstorming, self-hypnosis, meditation, NLP and mindmapping.

130 colour illustrations | 128 pages | 276 x 216 mm

• Bestselling author Kim Thittichai's latest book on layered textiles • Demonstrates how to work with a range of exciting materials and techniques, from heat tools to laser-cutting techniques • From simple layers to extreme layering to create exciting new surfaces to stitch

• A book to help beginner textile artists find inspiration for their work • Clear, straightforward text and inspirational images take the reader from the very beginning of the creative process to the finished piece • The authors are textile teachers who regularly help those starting out in textile art

The latest book from the bestselling author Kim Thittichai focuses on the range of ideas and techniques for layering your textiles. These layers can produce simple to extreme surfaces for stitch. Layering is a major feature of today’s textile art, whether to create relief, colour, texture or dimension.

It’s a question asked by many budding textile artists: how can I be more creative? You’ve got a few ideas and know some techniques, but you’re not sure how to get started or make your work hang together. This book shows you how. It explains the creative process from the very beginning: where to find inspiration and how to harness those ideas; how to gather source material; how to pull together what you have. The authors then take you on a journey to develop a design. Learn how to put elements together to make a cohesive whole and develop a theme, learning established design rules along the way. Part Three, Moving into Stitch, gives you a range of techniques and easy experiments with which to turn your design into stitched-textile work. From choosing what fabrics to use, to layering, creating texture and adding embellishment, it covers the key techniques to try. This is a terrific book for those starting out in textiles who really do want to be as creative as they can.

The author takes you through a number of key materials – papers, synthetic and natural fabric, translucent materials – that can be incorporated into layered textiles.

Various techniques are combined with these materials, from using heat guns and soldering irons to machine and hand stitch to give the reader endless ideas for their own creative work. To really show the full potential of the art of textile layering, laser cutting is included. As always, the author has provided exercises for the creative process and the techniques but combined them with the work of the best textile artists around the world today. It provides the ultimate guide to the subject of layered textiles for readers looking to experiment with their own textile art.

Kim Thittichai is a popular textile artist who specialises in teaching experimental textiles. Her speciality is creating three-dimensional textile forms.

Julia Triston is a practising textile artist/designer and lecturer in stitch, design and surface decoration. She makes, exhibits and sells her work widely. Rachel Lombard is an award-winning textile artist and designer.

Living in County Durham, Rachel runs her own business creating functional, tactile and decorative artworks.

Part Two, illustrated with stunning images from today’s best quiltmakers, gives advice on creating stunning monochrome quilts and explores how to evoke a powerful sense of place using colour inspired by travel. The author also shows you how to bring joyous light and colour effects to your quilts, and examines how colour can be used to create mood and atmosphere, to suggest a range of emotions from perfect calm to hectic turmoil.

Janet Twinn is a quiltmaker who exhibits widely, including a solo show at the Festival of Quilts in 2008. She teaches City and Guilds quiltmaking courses and is a member of Quilt Art. She lives in Tadworth, Surrey.

Bethan Ash's rich, colourful quilts are created using improvisational collage techniques. Working instinctively, she simply layers fabric shapes onto a prepared background and fuses them down, then adds stitching later. Each quilt is cut freehand, without the use of rulers or templates. In this groundbreaking book, she reveals the secrets of how she works, from basic dyeing and fusing techniques to design- and colour-awareness exercises and mixed-media experiments. In clear, easyto-follow text, she gives the reader invaluable information on method, materials, technique and composition, and shows that improvisational quiltmaking is not merely 'messing about with fabric', but instead can form the basis of working freely and is the optimal way of broadening the reader's artistic talent. Illustrated with the best examples of fused quilts from around the world, this book is a visual feast of colour and pattern, and allows the reader to discover how the boundaries of traditional quiltmaking can be expanded through the use of imagination, inspiration and fusion.

Bethan Ash is a professional quiltmaker and teacher, with a background in fashion design. She has exhibited widely and her work has been bought by museums worldwide.

Pattern has made a terrific comeback in the last decade and its popularity shows no signs of abating. Pattern design is booming in the craft, textile, fashion and graphic design worlds. This is a much-needed book on simple and more advanced ways of creating pattern with a source of 2000 colourful combinations that you can use for further creative work.

The simplest pattern is a repeat of a motif. You can make that more interesting by creating a brickwork grid when repeating motifs. Make it different again by rotating the image, or by mirroring it. Taking the reader through various pattern developments thoroughly, it shows how one motif can lead to inexhaustible pattern interpretations. All these techniques are explained and illustrated, making the book an ideal way to learn about pattern design basics as well as find an inspirational pattern. The author gives a range of different designs, from simple florals, motifs taken from historical treasures, tiling designs and abstracts to geometrics, pictorial motifs (from animals to buildings), and creates thousands of different patterns. This is a visually rich book that has application for any kind of designer, whether working on fabric, the web or the world of graphics.

Several step-by-step demonstrations show how he captures light and shade on his canvas with such amazing effect.

In Search of the South Pole Huw Lewis-Jones and Kari Herbert 9781844861378 | £20 | October | HB 150 photographs and illustrations | 192 pages | 267 x 197 mm

• Published to coincide with the anniversary of Scott’s 1911 expedition to the South Pole • Brings together an outstanding collection of rare materials, photographs and ephemera • Foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes

72

In 1912 the western world was watching, waiting, hoping, attention focused on a desolate spot at the very end of the earth, as two expeditions raced to conquer the South Pole. A hundred years after Roald Amundsen’s triumph, while Robert Falcon Scott and the remaining members of his team perished on the Barrier Ice, our fascination with Antarctica is as acute as ever. The drama of Scott’s demise soon ascended into myth, and his reputation has gone on many journeys in the century after his death. This book is a visual history of a cultural phenomenon, looking not just at the legacy of this ‘race’ but at the South Pole itself. Examining a number of expeditions to Antarctica through discussions with some of the leading explorers, historians, scientists and polar experts of today, it questions the value of Scott and Amundsen’s achievements and considers why people are still drawn to this bleak and inhospitable blank on a map – it remains an international stage for ambition and adventure, dreams and desire. Among those who have contributed are Borge Ousland, Pen Hadow, Lynne Cox, Rosie Stancer, Liz Morris, Jon Bowermaster and Ranulph Fiennes. The authors have also obtained exclusive access to private archives to showcase a superlative range of previously unseen imagery and ephemera.

The Marine Art of Geoff Hunt 99781844860807 | £16.99 | PB

This timely follow-up to Conway’s highly successful The Marine Art of Geoff Hunt (2004) presents the considerable artistic output of Britain’s leading marine painter since 2003. This new volume is heavily illustrated with images ranging from large oil paintings to sketchbook drawings with text written by the artist himself. The new book reflects the artist's developing career during a time in which Geoff served a five-year term as President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, worked on large-scale commissions such as the definitive Mary Rose, and also completed numerous outdoor sketches and paintings. The book takes the form of an artistic voyage progressing from the Thames to the English Channel and continuing on to the Mediterranean, North America, the Caribbean and the Southern Hemisphere. This concept introduces the artist’s ‘plein air’ painting and sketches and sets these alongside the exhaustively researched maritime history paintings to which he owes his standing as Britain’s leading marine artist.

Brian Lavery, the pre-eminent historian of the Royal Navy, returns with the second volume of his engaging social history of the service's 'lower deck' – the world of the seamen as distinct from the officers of the 'quarterdeck'. He examines the world of the late Victorian navy and beyond, charting the evolution of the seaman through 90 years of change to his place in the Royal Navy on the brink of the Second World War. The author illuminates the inherent adaptability of the professional sailor, as new technologies demanded increased professionalism, specialisation and training. He also focuses on the changing social structure of the navy, and the expansion as the service coped with great demands made by the First World War and innumerable other conflicts across the globe.

Artist’s impressions of the ship at sea, originally released in 1911 to capture the public’s attention are also reproduced in full colour. In addition shipboard passenger guides and a variety of associated memorabilia and advertisements evoke the spirit of the age, reflecting the pride invested in the new liners, as well as the commercial opportunity they represented on the lucrative transatlantic route.

Lieutenant-Commander John Blake spent twelve years in the Royal Navy. He has worked extensively with the UK Hydrographic Office – the producers of Admiralty Charts – and is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation.

As an instrument of science and navigation the telescope was at the forefront of discovery. Today radio telescopes are vital to modern understanding of stars and galaxies, and have indicated evidence for the ‘Big Bang’. The story of the telescope’s development is a fascinating narrative of scientific endeavour, exploration and ingenuity, encompassing the lives of scientists and astronomers such as Galileo, Newton, William Herschel and Edmund Halley as well as the exploits of naval officers and explorers such as Cloudisley Shovell and James Cook. Richard Dunn presents an engaging historical survey that traces the telescope from its invention in 1608 to its contemporary applications in astrophysics. Featuring exquisite examples of telescopes and scientific instruments along with prints and drawings from the extensive collections of the Royal Observatory, The Telescope will appeal to all those with an interest in ships and the sea, exploration, science and the stars.

• Full recipes and details of the origins of the classic dishes • Evokes the glamour and indulgence of life on board the great ocean liners • Includes a sumptuous selection of period illustrations

• A real insight into the training of everyone who was conscripted into the Second World War navy, including sailors, marines, Wrens and merchant seamen • Will appeal to genealogists and family historians • Absorbing social history from the pre-eminent historian of the Royal Navy

This charming book recalls the heyday of the ocean liner, brilliantly recognising that life on board revolved around eating and drinking. Author and chef Sarah Edington recreates some of the classic dishes that appeared on the menus of such iconic ships as Titanic, Lusitania and Queen Mary, providing full recipes and methods. Evoking the luxury and extravagance of First Class dining, her recipes cover a range of lunch and dinner courses, from soups to puddings, including Crème Vichyssoise, Navarin of Lamb Printanier and Trifle à l’Ecossaise. The book is beautifully illustrated with the original elegant menu cards from the archives of the National Maritime Museum, as well as contemporary photographs that capture life on board.

Just over a million people served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, the majority of whom enlisted after a huge recruitment campaign. To this end, thousands of ‘hostilities only’ personnel joined the service, and these inexperienced recruits would play a vital role for the duration of the war. Using first-hand accounts and archival research, Brian Lavery reveals the scale of the training operations across the whole of the navy, for those who were shore-based as well as at sea.

The book examines the methods used to instill the skills, attitude and discipline needed to serve in the many different roles and theatres of war, providing new insight into one of the major untold stories of the war.

Sarah Edington has written and edited a number of books on food. She was a professional cook for many years, running her own catering business with the National Trust and the Victoria and Albert Museum among her clients.

She also gives talks on board today’s cruise ships.

Brian Lavery is a Curator Emeritus of the National Maritime Museum. He is a prolific author, and renowned expert on the Royal Navy of the Age of Sail and the Second World War. Honours for his writing include the Desmond Wettern Maritime Media Award and the Society for Nautical Research’s Anderson Medal.

CONWAY MILITARY HISTORY

David Stone is a former infantry officer whose military service over 35 years included a diverse range of command, staff and active postings all over the world. Much of his service was in Germany, affording him a unique opportunity to research and write on the German experience of war.

• From the author of Conway’s successful Fighting for the Fatherland and Hitler’s Army 1939-1945 • A new study of the structure, effectiveness and conduct of the German high command prior to and during the Second World War • Examines in depth the General Staff’s problematic relationship with the Führer, the internal 1944 ‘Operation Valkyrie’ and numerous other plots to assassinate Hitler, and the subsequent domination of Himmler’s SS at the highest level of German strategic planning

80

When Hitler enabled the transformation of the Truppenamt into the General Staff in 1935, General Beck saw an opportunity to re-establish a command of great power and influence that would act as a stabilising influence on Germany as a whole. Such a vision ran directly contrary to Hitler’s ideology, however, setting up a tension that continued to ferment throughout the war, culminating in the assassination attempt on the Fuhrer by an internal resistance movement in 1944. In this new and comprehensive study, acclaimed author David Stone analyses the successes of the General Staff in spite of the many trials and tribulations they faced as part of the Nazi war machine – increasingly so as many officers found themselves forced to implement strategic and political agendas with which they disagreed. At an operational level he shows that it performed well and did much to ensure continued and efficient mobilisation, training and deployment of soldiers throughout the war, despite being drawn into a conflict of attrition, rather than the short Blitzkrieg for which it had always planned. Presenting an original interpretation of Germany at war, the author clearly expresses the key aspects of an organisation at the heart of Axis military planning, an organisation, moreover, that was intentionally complicated by Hitler.

Quick Training For War

The Railwayman’s Pocket-Book

Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Baden-Powell

Introduction by R H N Hardy

9781844861439 | £6.99 | June | HB

9781844861354 | £7.99 | August | HB

15 line drawings | 120 pages | 140 x 110 mm

30 black and white illustrations | 128 pages | 180 x 120 mm

• Authentic army training manual written by a national hero and the founding father of the Scout movement • A unique insight into the methods of warfare advocated in 1914 • Bought privately by tens of thousands of British men and officers, this became the Tommy’s standard ‘survival guide’ in the early stages of the war

• A genuine insight into the lives of the drivers, engineers and firemen who worked on the railways during the Age of Steam • Filled with a wealth of authentic source material including practical advice, rules and regulations, training manuals and conditions of service • Also includes guides to locomotive servicing, maintenance and operations

Quick Training For War was one of many training manuals used by British Army officers prior to the First World War. Using his hard-earned military experience, Baden-Powell – a national hero thanks to his successes against the Zulus – distills soldiering down to the ‘four C’s’: Courage, Common sense, Cunning and Cheerfulness. With advice on everything from tracking the enemy to ‘inculcating cheerfulness in your men’, the book gives a unique insight into the training and mindset of an officer in 1914.

It also has important lessons on the value of leadership, clear thinking and good morale, all based on solid Edwardian values, conventional military thinking and centuries of Army tradition. A fascinating period document, it shows exactly what type of war the British expected to wage against Germany – as a result, the muddy battlefields of the Somme came as a real shock.

Nevertheless, Baden-Powell’s no-nonsense approach did much to help shape raw recruits into capable soldiers, and the observations and anecdotes of this seasoned campaigner make for engaging and inspiring reading.

Robert Baden-Powell OM, GCMG, GCVO, KCB was a lieutenant-general in the British Army and, famously, the founder of the Boy Scouts. His book Scouting for Boys, an enduring success since initial publication in 1908, has become the fourth bestselling book of all time.

During the early twentieth century the railways were the lifeblood of the nation, and the sprawling transport network lay at the heart of British industry. This fascinating pocket-book draws on numerous primary sources from the late Victorian period through to the days of the Big Four and British Railways to present a unique guide to the world of the railwayman during the golden age of steam. Incorporating documents such as the LNER rule book, ASLEF national conditions of service and the Locomotive Man’s Guide Book, the book outlines the key aspects of railway running, locomotive management, maintenance and servicing with practical advice, rail regulations and technical data. It also features accounts of life on the footplate – evoking the camaraderie of an engine driver’s life, but also giving a real insight into the demands of the job – which involved long hours, hard labour and considerable pressure, as well as constant vigilance to ensure safety and efficiency standards were maintained.

R H N Hardy worked on Britain’s railways for over forty years and is a noted authority on the history of railways and locomotives. He has written four books – including a biography of Dr Richard Beeching – and numerous articles for publications such as Steam World.

Don’t Even Think About It! 9781906032746 | £9.99 | HB

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the bookshop, comes bestselling author Richard Wilson's triumphant follow up to Can't Be Arsed and Don't Even Think About It!. Idiotspeak! is Mr Wilson's hilarious, and topical, self righteous stab at the modern day vernacular, taking aim at the invention of ridiculous, nonsensical words that not only are just plain crap but also make those who dare speak them sound like complete twits. Richard waxes lyrical on awful words such as 'Ciao', 'Hurting', 'Fashionista' and 'Staycation'.

He also lets loose on how those words were created and how they escaped and survived in the wild instead of being killed at a young age. Written in Richard's utterly fantastic ranting style, this sharp-shooting of the ridiculousness of the modern English language – and the morons who use it – is a must-have for everyone.

• The follow up to 2010’s bestselling 365 Reasons To Be Cheerful • 365 funny, informative and unique reasons why you should feel proud to be British, every single day of the year • Each day contains entertaining facts about Britain's world-renowned history, heritage, traditions, landmarks, culture, literature, music and, of course, people and characters

London. England’s capital of culture, finance, fashion and forward thinking. A city where the ancient meets the modern, the chic and, let's be honest, the shit. Despite the best efforts to smarten up the city before the 2012 Olympics, local pockets of immeasurable crumminess still abound in neighbourhoods and boroughs. Hidden behind the architectural delights, history and bright lights exists a world that proves London is a world class provider of bad taste and all-round awfulness. Shit London explores the world of ill-conceived community art, poorly named shops, cheeky graffiti, bad translations, comical signs and the unintentionally funny scenes that surround Londoners everyday. Revel in the rubbish that surrounds them all. You never know, it might make you feel better about where you live.

Patrick Dalton was born in London and has lived in London his entire life (not including holidays).

Professionally, he is a radio producer who worked for many years at the BBC and later at the London radio station LBC producing a variety of news and entertainment programmes. Unprofessionally, he likes taking photographs. Patrick now works as a freelance radio producer and lives, you guessed it, in London.

Patrick is the creator of www.shitlondon.co.uk.

365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be British is a year-long scenic route of jollyness taking in the quirky events, inventions, traditions, people, places and characters that make Great Britain a nation worth celebrating every day of the year. Because it is great. Come on, admit it, has there ever been a more inventive, adventurous, creative and eccentric race than the British? We don't think so and 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be British proves it brilliantly.

In the book you'll find a historical year's worth of the discoveries, delights and derring-do that make Britain a place to love and cherish, a place of wonder and an island that attracts 27 million people through its doors each year. From the Cornish beaches to the glorious Welsh mountains; from the square-eyed joys of BBC telly to the incredible 'Knowledge' of the London cabbie; from our peerless pop music royalty to the globally renowned remedial powers of the perfect cuppa – Britain rules, every single day of the year.

Richard Happer is a full-time writer and lives in London.

• iGrump is the technophobe's handbook, a glorious rant about every bit of new technology supposedly designed to make our lives easier. Hah! • And don't get him started on mobile phones or we’ll be here all night. No, we will • Filled with the typical wit and observation, and just plain grumpiness, that have made each of the Grump books bestsellers

• From the Daily Mail’s perennially popular resident cartoonist, MAC • A hilarious collection of MAC’s best cartoons from 2011 • Following on from The Best of MAC: The Political Years also available from Portico

Ivor Grump is an analog bloke struggling to keep afloat in a digital world. He isn’t an early adopter, he’s an immediate shunner. Everywhere he turns he finds technology and gizmos encroaching into his world. When at last he’s forced to embrace consumer electronics – with all the enthusiasm of a bank vole nestling up to a peregrine falcon – he finds they go and change the device he’s studiously learned. Whether it’s the SatNav, his erratic computer, the Internet, TV remote controls, his mobile or the washing machine, Ivor is a man easily bewildered. But still he battles on, trying to work out which of his 17 remote controls will have any influence on the television. Along the way he takes large swipes at texting, downloads, MP3 players, voice (lack of) recognition, and suggests a new social networking web site for those of a similar technology-hating disposition – Grumpbook.

MAC’s annuals have been delighting Daily Mail readers, and MAC fans, for the past decade, tickling their funny parts with his famous cultural sideswipes and hilarious satirical stabs at the government, international events and the world at large. In 2011, even though the world has changed considerably, MAC continues unabated in his quest for comedy gold stars, poking gentle fun at all the year’s hilarious headlines and wicked news stories.

From Cameron’s Big Society to the dreaded VAT increase, shock scandals to pleasant suprises, the Royal Wedding to end all Royal Weddings to Katie Price’s inevitable divorce (again), all of our disobedient society’s foibles are here, ripe for the picking. 2011 – what a year that was!

Stan McMurtry (Mac) has been a social and political cartoonist for the Daily Mail since 1970. He has recently been honoured with an MBE. He lives in London SW6.

Ivor Grump is possibly the grumpiest man alive. He has filled three books with his cantankerous observations and gripes and may just keep going on forever.
