Bike! A Tribute to the World’s Greatest Cycling Designers

Richard Moore and Daniel Benson To many, the racing bicycle is a cult object, a vehicle of dreams, a marvel of engineering and aesthetic. Spanning over one hundred years of the sport, Bike! is the indepth history of the 49 greatest cycling designers who have shaped the world of cycling. Starting on the dusty plains of Italy in the nineteeth century to the nano-tube technology of today, Bike! is the cycling bible for anyone who cares about the blood, sweat and tears that have been put into the pursuit of perfection on two wheels. Unmasking the soul of those like Colnago, Shimano and Campagnolo, Bike! also tells the story of landmark classics such as Fausto Coppi’s 1952 Bianchi, Graeme Obree’s ‘Old Faithful’, Chris Boardman’s Lotus and Lance Armstrong’s Damien Hirst ‘Butterfly’ Trek. From Raleigh to Peugeot, Gitane to Cervelo, in graphic detail with sublime photography, Bike! is the beautifully illustrated story of the visionaries and riders who joined forces to create twowheeled legends.

Richard Moore is a former racing cyclist and journalist whose first book, In Search of Robert Millar won Best Biography at the 2008 British Sports Book Awards. Daniel Benson is the managing editor of Cyclingnews.com. He has reported on four Tour de France races.

Commander Riptide A Short History of My Life Through Movies

Todd McEwen Every Saturday morning there were two or three hours of Laurel and Hardy films on a local station, presented by ‘Commander Riptide’ (a host who pretended to be in a submarine for some reason) and these films changed the way McEwen thought about life. From then on he always wanted everything to be funny, to the consternation of his parents and teachers, and this reached its apotheosis when he persuaded his mother to buy him a small can of aerosol shaving cream and a packet of little paper plates. At last he was going to be able to get hit in the face with a pie. In this fond and exasperated look back at what movies were important to him – even crucial to his existence at differing ages – McEwen confronts some rather nauseating home truths about his love of a number of key classic and cult films, including Blotto (1930), Duck Soup (1933), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) and Chinatown (1974).

Todd McEwen was born in California and burnished in New York. His previous novels include McX: A Romance of the Dour, Who Sleeps with Katz?, The Five Simple Machines, and a non-fiction book How Not to Be American, published by Union Books in October 2013. Long a resident of Edinburgh, he cannot think what is to be done.

Jumbo The Unauthorised Biography of a Victorian Sensation

John Sutherland The first comprehensive ‘biography’ of one of the first celebrity animals who gave us one of our favourite words. Jumbo, Victorian England’s favourite elephant, was born in 1861 in French Sudan, imported to a Parisian zoo and later sold on to London, where – for seventeen years – he dutifully gave children rides and ate buns from their hands, all the while being tortured at night to keep him docile. Worldwide fame came when he was bought by the American showman and scam artist P. T. Barnum in 1881, despite letters from 100,000 British schoolchildren who wrote to Queen Victoria begging her to prevent the sale. Barnum went on to transform Jumbo into a lucrative circus act and one of the most loved animals of all time, establishing elephants as a regular feature of funhouses and menageries the world over. Using the heartwrenching story of Jumbo’s celebrity life, tragic death in Canada in 1885, and his enduring cultural legacy, Jumbo is a personal and fascinating reflection on our cultural elephantiasis by one of our most distinguished literary-critical detectives, which is guaranteed to amuse, stimulate, provoke and delight in equal measure.

John Sutherland is Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus, UCL. He has taught at the Universities of Edinburgh, London and at the California Institute of Technology. He is the author of many books on many subjects. He is well known as a journalist (of a high and low kind) and reviewer and was the Chair of the Man Booker Prize committee in 2005.

My Baby Got the Yips The Random Thoughts of an Unprofessional Golfer

Richard Russell There are innumerable instruction books for the average club golfer teaching him or her how to play better. There are also innumerable books by the top professionals about their careers in golf, about their personal motivation and the key to their success. But no-one writes books about the average club golfer and what he thinks about, what are his priorities, and how he views his often futile lifetime’s dedication to golf. Now Richard Russell has filled that gap with a hilarious book about the thoughts and experiences of a very average Sunningdale weekend golfer: himself. It reveals, as thousands of similar weekend golfers will confirm, that often the most motivating factor in their game will not be visualising the parabolic arc of one’s backswing - but the prospect of the refreshment kiosk and its illicitly rich snacks next to the 9th hole. Or that, far from wanting lectures in golf etiquette from Olympian figures like Jack Nicklaus, of more concern is perfecting the art of hurling a club spectacularly after a truly horrid shot. My Baby Got the Yips is a genuinely funny, whimsical and original golf book that will make a perfect gift for every average golfer.

Richard Russell is an advertising copywriter and a member of Sunningdale Golf Club and Rye Golf Club.

Wait Till Next Year Doris Kearns Goodwin Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Goodwin (No Ordinary Time) turns her gaze inward, looking back on a childhood enlivened by books and baseball. In many ways Goodwin had a typical ’50s girlhood. She grew up on suburban Long Island at a time when many families were relocating to such communities. Her father worked, her mother was a homemaker. Perhaps the biggest difference between Goodwin and other girls growing up in this era was her deep and abiding enthusiasm for baseball. When she was six, she recalls, her father gave her a score book and taught her how to use it, a gift that ‘opened [her] heart to baseball’. Retelling games for her father’s benefit after he came home from work was her ‘first lesson … in narrative art’. One can easily see how re-creating these games from the score book taught her to harness her imagination to quotidian details to recreate history. If baseball bonded her more deeply to her father, books served the same purpose in her relationship with her mother, a sickly woman with severe angina and numerous other problems. Goodwin also offers a child’seye view of the Cold War, from the lunacy of bomb shelters and ‘duck and cover’ drills to a particularly disturbing memory of reenacting the McCarthy hearings with other neighborhood children.

Doris Kearns Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American biographer, historian, and political commentator. She is the author of biographies of several US Presidents, including Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream; The Fitzgeralds and The Kennedys: An American Saga; No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt; The Home Front in World War II (which won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1995). Her most recent book is Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.

Bouts of Mania Ali, Foreman, Frazier and an America on the Ropes

Richard Hoffer It was a blip, really. It lasted not even five years, from the spring of 1971 to the autumn of 1975. But if you were in the middle of it – The Fight of the Century, The Rumble in the Jungle, The Thrilla in Manila – the hysteria might have seemed unending. It was a sustained, screeching period of tumult – more than even a single country could contain. Call it an accident of history: these three men – Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman – converging in a single space, their five fights giving us an irreproducible pandemonium. Some of these fights still resonate in ways that go beyond any appreciation of sport. Each stands for a kind of defiance or maybe foolishness that still make sense today. You still hear it now: It was good, but no Ali-Frazier. Just as David Remnick’s King of the World gave us a portrait of Ali and the hope of 1960’s America, Richard Hoffer’s Bouts of Mania shows how these three fighters provided a moral compass during one of America’s worst patches ever, the era of Watergate, Vietnam, Nixon and the humiliation of America. This golden age of boxing gave reassurance to a shattered country that such fundamental if sometimes elusive qualities of courage and determination still mattered. And when it was all over neither they, nor the rest of the world would ever be the same again.

Richard Hoffer is an award-winning senior writer for Sports Illustrated and the author of A Savage Business: The Comeback and Comedown of Mike Tyson. He lives in Santa Barbara, California.

Fergie Rises How Britain’s Greatest Football Manager Was Made At Aberdeen

Michael Grant Alex Ferguson was not the greatest manager football had ever seen when he turned up in Aberdeen one June morning in 1978. In fact, he really wasn’t anything special at all. Fergie Rises is the story of a period that began when Ferguson was lucky to get Aberdeen, not the other way around. It is the story of an eight-year revolution that saw the Dons and their ambitious young manager knock the Old Firm off their perch, taste victory in Europe for the first time, and electrify Scottish football. It is also the story of how Ferguson outgrew the club, and left them devastated by his departure. A fusion of biography and football history, Fergie Rises will lay bare the full story of Ferguson’s tenure at Aberdeen, revealing it as the crucible in which Britain’s greatest football manager was forged. It will also examine the personal tragedies he overcame – the deaths of his father, mother and mentor Jock Stein – and the rivalries, setbacks and triumphs that shaped a sporting genius.

Michael Grant is chief football writer for the Herald and has written about Scottish and European football since the 1980s. As an Aberdeen supporter from childhood, he lived through the astonishing transformation of that club during Alex Ferguson’s years as manager from 1978 to 1986. His first book was The Management: Scotland’s Great Football Bosses, co-written with Rob Robertson and published by Birlinn in November 2010. It was widely praised in both the popular and broadsheet press and was short-listed at the British Sports Book Awards 2012.

The Secret Life of Twickenham The Story of Rugby Union’s Iconic Fortress, the Players, Staff and Fans

Chris Jones Twickenham Stadium is rightly known as the ‘home’ of rugby football union but while it may by currently revered, the stadium’s beginnings were very humble when the land it was built upon was purchased in 1907. The first England test match took place in 1910 and a home win ensured things got off on the right footing but cows, sheep and horses would be grazing on the pitch just four years later as it became a farm during the First World War. By 1931, the famous ‘Twickenham Look’ had come about. This comprised a huge slab of concrete forming the South Terrace, Leitch’s North Stand, and two great double-decker East and West Stands that spoilt the view from Richmond Hill. When the Second World War arrived, the closest the stadium got to being hit by enemy action was in July 1944 when a V1 flying bomb fell in the front garden of a house opposite the West Gate, injuring 16 people. The East car park was dug up and – appropriately given its original use – was turned into allotments to generate much needed fresh food for the locals. The Stadium today is at the heart of a £100m business that the RFU controls, but how does the Union generate so much money from this one plot of land in South West London? With such a colourful and celebrated history The Secret Life of Twickenham will dig deeper into it’s story to reveal the many men and women, cutting across all social backgrounds, jobs, and positions within the RFU who have helped to build this iconic stadium into a globally recognized brand. It will provide the lover of rugby union with the true history of the most iconic sports stadium in the British Isles with a compendium of facts, dates, figures and anecdotes about England’s sporting fortress.

Cycling Through the Iron Curtain The Incredible True Story of Dieter Wiedemann, The Stasi and The Greatest Bike Race on Earth

Herbie Sykes In the early 1960s Dieter Wiedemann was a hero of East German cycling. A podium finisher in The Peace Race, the Soviet equivalent of the Tour de France, he was a pin up for the supremacy of socialism over the fascist west. But then he met the girl, who lived on the wrong side of the Wall. As he prepared for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, which required him to compete in West Germany for one race, he saw his only chance of freedom and defected. Not only did this cause a huge scandal as the Stasi tried to ‘repatriate’ him, it also destroyed his family left behind as the Stasi set to work on them to convince him to come him. Some of those wounds have still not healed. Part cycling story, part cold war and love story, this is Ben MacIntyre meets the great escape, a sporting equivalent of Anna Funder’s seminal Stasiland.

Herbie Sykes is a cycling journalist, historian and author of The Eagle of Canavese, about Franco Balmamion, Maglia Rosa: Triumph and Tragedy at the Giro d’Italia, and Coppi: Inside the Legend of Campionissimo. He lives in Turin.

The British Spy Manual The Authentic Special Operations Executive (SOE) Guide for WWII

Imperial War Museum. Foreword by Sinclair McKay Deep in the heart of the Imperial War Museum lies a unique document that was at the heart of British espionage in World War Two. With WInston Churchill ordering the Special Operations Executive to ‘light fires all over Europe’ this secret organisation was tasked with dropping thousands of spies into Occupied Europe to harass the enemy. But how did they first learn their trade prior to undertaking their operations? The secret services produced a manual (in two volumes) for each operative undergoing extensive training at the SOE school, to be taught the skills they would need to survive in Hitler’s Europe. As they worked through their course, these manual were invaluable in teaching them tactics on surveillance, demolition, covert communications, supply, and killing the enemy. This two-volume set is now published for the first time, in one complete book. Complete in it’s original form as was used in the war, the reader will delve back into history and see at first hand how our secret agents learned the dark arts in the classroom in order to succeed in France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Greece, and even the Far East. With a new introduction by bestselling author Sinclair McKay, and supported by the Imperial War Museum, it is the perfect present for anyone wishing to enhance their knowledge of SOE in the Second World War, but also to see the ingenious methods they taught their agents to beat the Nazis.

The Imperial War Museum is the premier archive for Britain’s military past. It is a worldrenowned organisation and the keeper of the country’s greatest military treasures. Sinclair McKay is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bletchley Park (over 300,000 copies sold). He lives in London.

The Waterloo Companion The Complete Guide to History’s Most Famous Land Battle

Mark Adkin There have been many books about Waterloo, but never one to rival this in scale or authority. The text, based on extensive research, including many days spent on the battlefield itself, does far more than simply narrate the events of 18 June 1815. There is as much comment as description. Plans are analyzed, commanders assessed and manoeuvres painstakingly related to the ground. Armies, weapons and tactics are carefully examined and evaluated, and a considerable effort is made to answer the age-old battle questions of who?, when?, where?, how? and why? Neglected aspects of the fighting, such as the performance of the French ‘Grand Battery’ or the Prussian attacks on Plancenoit, are given prominence. A third of the text consists of ‘boxes’, each providing, often in anecdotal form, little known information or the first-hand accounts of those who fought upon this most celebrated of battlefields. The many full colour maps, all specially commissioned for the book, and the numerous diagrams and photographs, the majority in colour, make the pages a feast for the eye, while sixteen pages of original paintings of uniforms make it a collector’s dream.

Mark Adkin served fourteen years in the British Army and five as a contract officer with the Barbados Defence Force, retiring as a major. Subsequently he worked for the Overseas Civil Service in the British Solomon islands and the Gilbert and Ellice Islands (now Kiribati and Tuvalu respectively), where he was probably the last British District Officer anywhere in the world. As Caribbean Operations Staff Officer with the Barbados Defence Force he participated in the American invasion of Grenada in 1983, an experience that led to his first book, Urgent Fury. Subsequent works of military history include Goose Green, on the Falklands War, and The Sharpe Companion. He lives in Bedford.

Trains to the Trenches The Men, Trains and Tracks That Took the Armies to War 1914–18

Andrew Roden and Annie Winsland Without railways on all sides, the most terrible conflict the world had ever known would have taken a very different form – if it had happened at all. In a remarkable 14-day railway journey through Britain and Europe, author Andrew Roden and illustrator Annie Winsland retrace the steps of the men and women who manned the tracks and the trains, and who relied on them to get them to battle and back home. Drawing on previously unpublished diaries, memoirs and archive material they reveal the personal stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and pay tribute to their too easily overlooked contribution. In scrapbook journal form they interweave the diary of their present day travels with diary excerpts of ambulance train nurses, returning POW’s, drivers that put their lives in danger for everyone on board and other key voices. Roden and Winsland follow the trip in chronological order, from the secret planning rooms in Berlin, through the killing fields of the trenches and the home fronts of the key combatants. Looking at defining moments such as the Quintinshill rail crash and the efforts made to secure track and trains they build a unique and very human picture of a wartime railway across Europe.

Andrew Roden is a railway journalist and campaigner now based in Cornwall. He has worked on a range of railway magazines over the past decade from Rail to Hornby Magazine and the prestigious International Railway Journal as Contributing Editor. In 2005 he led the campaign to save the ‘Night Riviera’ sleeper train to Cornwall from closure. He is author of the highly successful books Flying Scotsman, A History of the Great Western Railway and The Duchesses, all published by Aurum. Annie Winsland is an illustrator and historian whose work has appeared in a range of academic and non-fiction titles across a wide range of subjects. She lives in Cornwall.

Dunkirk From Disaster to Deliverance – Testimonies of the Last Survivors

Sinclair McKay When Churchill made one of the most inspiring speeches of the 20th century – ‘we will fight them on the beaches’ – some thought that it was his way of preparing the public for the fall of France. Others heard it as a direct appeal to the Americans. The Prime Minister was speaking in the Commons in June 4 1940, giving thanks for the miracle of deliverance, the harrowing and breathless evacuation of over 338,000 troops from the beaches and harbour at Dunkirk in the teeth of nightmarish German onslaught. 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’. The last of the boatloads had returned to Dover in the small hours of June 4th. And the mythologizing had already begun – from euphoric American journalists to the thousands of women who lined up on railway platforms, crowding round exhausted soldiers as if they were movie stars. But was Churchill privately convinced that the Germans were about to successfully invade England? Those days of Dunkirk, and the spirit, and the image of the indefatigable little ships, 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 café 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 old-fashioned island was brutally forced into the modernity of World War Two.

Sinclair McKay is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bletchley Park and The Secret Listeners. He lives in London.

Pretend You’re in a War The Who and the Sixties

Mark Blake Between 1964 and 1969, The Who released 17 singles and four albums containing some of the most dramatic and confrontational music of the decade. It was a body of work driven by creative tension, black humour, bitter rivalry and dark childhood secrets, but which also held up a mirror to a society in transition, offering a unique perspective on both the group and their times. In Pretend You’re In A War, Mark Blake goes in search of The Who in these years. He charts their Mod breakthrough as figureheads for a restless youth culture in revolt against the stifling emotional fallout of World War II. He reveals how deeply the band’s music reflected the turbulent change of the era, in its exploration of sex, drugs, religion and class. And – in the uneasy alliance between art-school experimentation and workingclass ambition – he locates the motor of the Swinging Sixties. As the book closes on the decade, we see The Who performing Tommy in front of 500,000 people at the Woodstock Festival. At the time, it was seen as their crowning achievement, heralding the arrival of the ‘rock opera’. In retrospect, it is the high-water mark in the tale of a band who had already embraced Pop Art and the concept album; who had pioneered the power chord and the guitar smash; and who had embodied – more so than any of their rivals – the true spirit of the age: war.

Lovely Bits of Old England John Betjeman at The Telegraph

John Betjeman. Edited by Gavin Fuller John Betjeman began writing for the Telegraph in 1951 and continued to do so for a quarter of a century. During that time Britain underwent profound social and cultural changes. In architecture, grand Victorian edifices were pulled down to make way for gleaming brutalist monuments to the Future. In literature, a new generation of angry young men (and women) challenged convention head on. In music, pomp and circumstance gave way to the electric guitar. And in fashion, hemlines crept up. Amongst much of the population, however, such rapid change met with disquiet: a nagging sense that the New had displaced much that was wonderful in the Old. By turns eccentric, wistful and polemical, Betjeman’s writing for the Telegraph gave voice to this unease. From contemporary reviews – often refreshingly caustic – of novelists such as Ian Fleming, Nancy Mitford and J. D. Salinger, through prescient warnings about the threat posed to the English skyline by office blocks, motorways and concrete lamp-standards, to elegiac paeans to Norman churches and, of course, the gothic majesty of St Pancras station, Lovely Bits of Old England collects the very best of Betjeman’s contributions to the Telegraph for the first time. Taken together they offer a eulogy for what was lost and an impassioned defence of the past in the face of progress’s relentless onward march.

John Betjeman was born in 1906 and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. A prolific journalist, poet and broadcaster, he became a national celebrity, famous for his passionate defence of Britain’s Victorian heritage. He was knighted in 1969 and became Poet Laureate in 1972. He died in 1984. Gavin Fuller is head of the Telegraph library, responsible for maintaining that newspaper’s archive. He is also a former Mastermind champion and the editor of Leaves on the Line, a collection of readers’ letters to the Telegraph on trains and train journeys.

The Mad World of Sign Language Adventures in Unfortunate English from the Readers of The Telegraph

If you have ever been asked to ‘not keep your legs’, offered a ‘villain roast bighead’ for lunch, or even thought of visiting Buckshutem Wildlife Reserve, you will know that the English language is truly in a parlous condition. The Mad World of Sign Language is a compendium of the most inappropriate, confusing, poorly translated and downright bizarre signs from every corner of the globe, as spotted by the readers of the Telegraph whilst on their travels. It seems that few things amuse and appal this eagle-eyed tribe as much as the abuse, misuse, mistranslation and utter mangling of the English language. Herein we present an entertaining round-the-world tour of their most egregious and amusing sightings, as collected by the weekly feature Sign Language. The ailing art of signwriting offers a timely warning about the imperilled state of modern English, both here and abroad. What more efficient and hilarious way to make the point?

How Sir Alex Ferguson Can Change Your Life Damian Hughes Consider the question– why does anyone buy sports books, or books about or by sports stars? For sure there is a souvenir and nostalgia element– Wiggins’s My Time is a case in point. But people also buy sports books to see if our heroes give any clues to the magic ingredient that has made them so successful. We read them to see what we can learn about their lives, particularly in the hard times, and how they triumphed over adversity. We read them to find out what we can apply to our own lives. Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2013 autobiography was the bestselling non-fiction book of the year. And yet it gave no clue as to how he achieved such success at Manchester United. How Sir Alex Ferguson Can Change Your Life will fill in the parts he left out. From how Eric Cantona became the most influential figure on and off the pitch to turning Ronaldo into a superstar, from managing a 14 year Ryan Giggs to dealing with being apparently on the verge of losing the Champions League Final in 1999, Damian Hughes will reveal the tactics, the mind games, the strategies far away from the pitch that turned Manchester United into a conveyor belt of trophies, and show how these lessons can be applied to our own business or personal lives.

The Last Post Music, Remembrance and the Great War

Alwyn W. Turner At eleven o’clock on the morning of 11 November 1919 the entire British Empire came to a halt to remember the dead of the Great War. During that first two-minute silence all transport stayed still, all work ceased and millions stood motionless in the streets. The only human sound to be heard was the desolate weeping of those overcome by grief. And then, at two minutes past eleven, the moment was brought to an end by the playing of the Last Post. A century on, the Last Post – the infantry call played on bugle, rather the aristocratic sound of the cavalry trumpet – remains the most emotionally charged piece of music in British public life. In an increasingly secular country, it is the closest thing we have to a sacred anthem. Yet along with the poppy, the Cenotaph and the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, its power is profoundly modern. It is a response to the trauma of war that could only have evolved in a democratic age. In this moving exploration of the Last Post’s history, Alwyn W. Turner considers the bugle call’s humble origins and shows how its mournful simplicity reached beyond class, beyond religion, beyond patriotism to speak directly to people around the world. Along the way he contemplates the relationship between history and remembrance, and seeks out the legacy of the First World War in today’s culture.

Alwyn W. Turner is a cultural and political historian, whose latest book, A Classless Society: Britain in the 1990s, is published by Aurum Press and completes a critically acclaimed trilogy about the making of modern Britain. He is also one of the country’s leading authorities on British military music, the author of The Trumpets Will Sound: The Story of the Royal Military School of Music and a threevolume history of British military bands.

A Very Courageous Decision The Inside Story of Yes Minister

Graham McCann In 1977 the BBC commissioned a new satirical sitcom set in Whitehall. Production of its first series was stalled, however, by the outbreak of the ‘Winter of Discontent’;the Corporation being unwilling to broadcast such an overtly political comedy until after the general election of 1978. That Yes Minister should have been delayed by the same industrial unrest that helped bring Margaret Thatcher to power is, perhaps, fitting. Over three series from 1980 – and two more as Yes, Prime Minister until 1988 – the show mercilessly sent up the vanity, self-interest and incompetence of our so-called public servants, making its hapless minister Jim Hacker and his scheming Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey two of the most memorable characters British comedy has ever produced. The new prime minister professed it her favourite television programme, and millions of British viewers agreed. In the years since Yes Minister has become a national treasure. Sir Humphrey’s slippery circumlocutions have entered the lexicon, regularly quoted by political commentators, and the series’ cynical vision of Whitehall seems as credible today as it did thirty years ago. Now, drawing on fresh interviews with cast, crew, politicians and admirers, Graham McCann reveals how a subversive satire captured the mood of its time and became one of the most cherished sitcoms of Thatcher’s Britain.

Graham McCann is the most trusted and admired entertainment writer working in the UK today. He is the critically acclaimed and bestselling author of books on Dad’s Army, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Frankie Howerd, Cary Grant, Spike Milligan, Terry-Thomas, Woody Allen, John Le Mesurier, Morecambe and Wise and Marilyn Monroe. Graham is also a lecturer on Social and Political Theory at Kings College, Cambridge. He writes regularly on politics and culture for a wide range of publications.

What Will They Think Of Next…? Unpublished Letters to the Daily Telegraph

Iain Hollingshead Readers of the Telegraph will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense that characterise its correspondence. But what of the 95 per cent of the paper’s huge postbag that never sees the light of day? Some of the best letters inevitably arrive too late for the 24/7 news cycle, or don’t quite fit with the rest of the day’s selection. Others are just a little too whimsical, or indeed too risqué, to publish in a serious newspaper. And more than a few are completely and utterly (and wonderfully) mad. Thankfully Iain Hollingshead is on-hand to give the authors of the best unpublished letters the stage they so richly deserve. Baffled, furious, defiant, mischievous, they inveigh and speculate on every subject under the sun, from the rubbish on television these days to the venality of our MPs. The sixth book in the bestselling Unpublished Letters series, with an agenda as enticing as ever, What Will They Think of Next...? will prove, once again, that the Telegraph’s readers have an astute sense of what really matters.

Iain Hollingshead spent two years on the Letters to the Editor desk before becoming a full-time feature writer for the Daily Telegraph. He now writes freelance for the paper. He has edited five bestselling collections of unpublished letters to the Daily Telegraph for Aurum.

Life 101 Curious Contemplations From the Pages of the Telegraph

Oliver and Matt Pritchett After a week of constant and demanding news, Telegraph readers up and down the land like to kick back with the Sunday tonic that is Oliver Pritchett’s humorous and surreal column on modern life. Ever unafraid to tackle the great matters of the day – and even more at home in the company of the apparently trivial – he might lament the lost art of how to end a tedious phone conversation, report on his investigations into the world’s ‘superfruits’, or answer such pressing questions as, How does one spot a Bank Holiday? Why do we clap things that don’t need applause? or, What is the correct protocol should Prince William land a helicopter in one’s garden? Anthologised for the first time, and illustrated by his son Matt’s brilliantly witty cartoons, Oliver’s writings reflect upon just how quaint, odd and beautifully absurd life is. So we invite you to sit back and enjoy this whimsical and comical collection of curious contemplations, which quite simply, well, ‘Just occurred to me…’

Oliver Pritchett has been writing for the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph since 1980. In his regular weekend column he takes an oblique, absurdist look at modern life and muses on the great (and not so great) issues of the day. He is father to the cartoonist Matthew Pritchett.

Off the Map Lost Spaces, Invisible Cities, Forgotten Islands, Feral Places and What They Tell Us About the World

Alastair Bonnett In a world of Google Earth where we think that the world is fully mapped out, every discovery and adventure made, Off the Map is a journey through the remaining hidden geographies – from disappearing islands to gutterspaces, invisible cities and floating landmasses – and is a stunning testament to how mysterious the world remains today. In the great tradition of pyscho-geography – the history of places and what they tell us about ourselves – Off the Map follows Iain Sinclair, Will Self, Robert Macfarlane and Judith Schalansky’s Atlas of Remote Islands to give the real-life answer to Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities by weaving together what we see on maps to what the world is really like. It is celebration of both our love of places and the desire to imagine new places. Whether it is Sealand, an abandoned gun platform off the English coast that a British citizen claimed as his own sovereign nation, making his wife his princess, or Baarle, a patchwork of Dutch and Flemish enclaves where crossing the road can involve traversing multiple national borders; or moving villages, unclaimed deserts, secret cities or underground labyrinths, fully illustrated with original maps and drawing Off the Map shows the modern world from surprising new vantage points that will inspire urban explorers, and armchair travellers alike to consider a new way of understanding the world we live in.

Alastair Bonnett is Professor of Social Geography at Newcastle University. Previous books include What is Geography? (Sage, 2008) and How to Argue (Pearson, 2001). Alastair was editor of the avant-garde, psychogeographical, magazine Transgressions: A Journal of Urban Exploration between 1994 and 2000. He was also involved for many years in situationist and anarchist politics. His latest research projects are about memories of the city and themes of loss and yearning in modern politics.

No Middle Ground Eubank, Benn, Watson and the Golden Era of British Boxing

Sanjeev Shetty Between 1989 and 1993, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Michael Watson fought each other repeatedly for the World Middleweight championship belt. The first fight took place a month after the Hillsborough disaster and each fight was screened live on TV, where we now see Strictly Come Dancing. It was a time when boxing was seen as the purer and cleaner than most other sports, when kids could stay up late to watch 12 rounds of hate-fuelled madness. It was also the last Golden Era of British Boxing. No Middle Ground is the story of the greatest, and last, rivalry between three of the most talented fighters this country has ever produced. Rivalries exist in every sport, but put it in the ring, in the form of the prancing, gleaming Eubank or the heavy set of The Dark Destroyer (Nigel Benn) and suddenly it becomes dangerous. Sanjeev Shetty takes us back to when these three boxers graced the heavy bags and tells their story as well as that of Britain’s love affair with the sport. He traces their journeys to centre stage and tells the story of the dark side of Thatcher’s nation – the blood, the sweat, and the dangerous hatred that fuelled these men; before the sport we revered, which defined us, disappeared behind a curtain of advertisements forever.

Sanjeev Shetty is a sports correspondent for the BBC and a boxing fanatic.

Happy Mondays Excess All Areas – A Biography

Simon Spence There had never been anything like the Happy Mondays before, and there never will be again. Swaggering, leering, drug-fuelled and oversexed, they came out of Manchester like a psychedelic version of Fagin’s gang – living embodiments of the new rave culture and heralds of a more hedonistic time. The stories of their excesses are the stuff of rock ’n’ roll legend: the overdoses, the orgies, the death threats, the stabbings in the studio. Yet this seemingly unhinged and uncontrollable band, and their equally crazed benefactors at Factory Records, transformed guitar music with a sound that was original, infectious and joyous. Out went the miserabilist navel-gazing of the early 1980s, in its place the promise of a 24-hour party with pills, thrills and chart hits. Twenty-five years on from the Mondays’ breakthrough appearance on Top of the Pops in November 1989, Excess All Areas explores how Shaun Ryder, Bez and co. provided the soundtrack to Britain’s last great youth movement. Along the way it lays bare their links with Manchester’s most serious criminals; reveals the truth behind the mythic stories that have ensured their outlaw reputation; and seeks to unravel the chaos that led to the group’s ultimate implosion and the tragic collapse of Factory Records. This is the untold story of Britain’s last great rock ’n’ roll band.

Simon Spence is a music journalist who experienced the Madchester scene at first hand. He has written for NME, The Face, the Independent, Q and the Guardian. He collaborated with Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham on the memoirs Stoned and 2Stoned and won further acclaim for his 2012 biography of The Stone Roses, War and Peace. His latest book is Proper: The True Adventures of The Donnelly Brothers. He reviewed the Mondays’ most famous UK gig, at Leeds’ Elland Road, for the NME, and has interviewed Bez and Shaun Ryder on a number of occasions.

Organised day by day around the calendar year, with each life presented on the date it ended, the book features hundreds of remarkable stories. World statesmen jostle with glamorous celluloid stars, pioneering boffins sit alongside chart-topping rock ’n’ rollers, while artists and their muses mingle with record-breaking sportsmen, Victoria Cross winners, spies, showgirls and captains of industry – as well as the titans of rather more esoteric fields. Here, for instance, can be found Britain’s greatest goat breeder, a hangman who campaigned to abolish the death penalty, a priest to Soho’s pimps, a cross-dressing mountaineer and a minister who preached a gospel of avarice – donations in notes only, please, as ‘change makes me nervous’. A treasure trove of human virtue, vice and trivia, Thinker, Failure, Soldier, Jailer is the perfect gift for the armchair psychologist in all of us.

Walls Travels Along the Barricades

Marcello Di Cintio The world’s walls are supposed to be coming down. We speak of globalization, international markets and global villages; barriers to trade keep falling, and it is now possible to communicate instantly from nearly anywhere in the world. But just as these virtual walls come down, real walls rise. In this evocative blend of travel writing, history and politics, Marcello Di Cintio visits the world’s most disputed edges to meet those who live alongside the razor wire, concrete and steel. Along the way he shares tea with refugees on the wrong side of Morocco’s desert wall; he encounters illegal immigrants circumventing high-tech fencing around the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla; he walks Arizona’s migrant trails, visits fenced-in villages in India, and stands with those who protest against Israel’s security barrier to understand what these structures say about those who build them, and how they influence the cultures that they pen in.

Animals on the Underground Stationery

The London Underground Map is an iconic design but when most people look at the ‘tube’ map, all they see is a pattern of colourful lines that help get them from A to B. But, in fact, hidden within the map, there is a world of animals – the Animals on the Underground. The Animals were discovered by Paul Middlewick in 1988. They are created using the tube lines, stations and junctions of the world famous London Underground map. Paul found the original animal, the elephant, while he was staring at the tube map during his daily journey home from work. Since then, ‘Elephant & Castle’, as the elephant is called, has been joined by many others from bats to bottlenose whales.

Photographs by Chris Caldicott A Spicy Paneer Cheese Toastie with Mango Chutney, some Chick Pea Dokla (bite-sized snacks tempered with toasted coconut and mustard seeds), or perhaps some Carrot and Pistachio Halwa, a sweet and sticky afternoon pick-me-up, washed down with Nimboo Pani (a sweet and salty refreshing lime soda); the recipes in Bombay Lunchbox have exotic names with flavours to match. Renowned for her imaginative yet accessible recipes, Carolyn Caldicott combines anecdotes and recipes from Anglo-Indian cookery with the culture of the ‘Tiffin’ lunch box, cooked at home and delivered to the workplace in characteristic stainless steel tiered tins. Carolyn’s collection of sweet and savoury recipes for lunch, afternoon tea or any snack eaten between breakfast and dinner, will appeal to anyone who loves India and Indian food. Bombay Lunchbox is illustrated with modern photographs by Chris Caldicott and vintage imagery, bringing together the spirit of the Raj with the brightly coloured buzz of modern India’s culture, religion and society.

Chris’s photos appear in newspapers and magazines.

Wainwright on the Pennine Way Alfred Wainwright. Photographs by Derry Brabbs The Pennine Way – England’s first continuous long-distance path for walkers – stretches for 268 miles along the length of the Pennines. Inaugurated in 1965, it has become one of the most popular long-distance footpaths in Britain. The legendary fell-walker, writer and illustrator Alfred Wainwright published his own inimitable step-by-step pocket guide to the Pennine Way in 1966 and in 1985 used that material as the basis for a collaboration with photographer Derry Brabbs: Wainwright on the Pennine Way, an illustrated overview of the trail, which topped the Sunday Times best-seller list for several weeks. For this edition, published in a handsome new large format, Wainwright’s text has been revised and annotated to account for the changes in the route that have occurred in recent years, as well as the improvements to the terrain underfoot, in areas where flagstone paths now cover the boggy peat moors. In addition, Derry Brabbs has reshot the entire book specially with stunning year-round photography, to bring this classic fully up to date. Wainwright on the Pennine Way brings together a writer and a photographer who have each been acclaimed for their artistry in recording the high places of Britain. This is a ‘must have’ memento or gift for anyone who has done the route or an aspirational reference work for armchair walkers content to let others do the legwork.

Born in Blackburn in 1907, Alfred Wainwright started a life-long love affair with the Lake District after a holiday there. In 1941 he began compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides. He died in 1991. Derry Brabbs is one of England’s finest photographers of heritage and landscape, with over 20 books to his credit. He is the author of several beautifully photographed titles celebrating England’s landscape and architectural legacy.

Arts and Crafts houses in the Lake District Matthew Hyde & Esmé Whittaker. Photographs by Val Corbett The much admired Arts and Crafts houses of the Lake District are in a league of their own. Mostly built as holiday homes for wealthy northern industrialists they embraced a new sense of informality, simplicity and comfort suitable for this life of leisure. Arguably they have never been bettered. In this, the first book on the subject, the authors show how the movement flourished distinctively for a brief but brilliant decade at the beginning of the twentieth century. They explain the importance of the choice of site, the new found respect for the Lakeland landscape and building traditions, and explore the lifestyle of the clients, who travelled from their busy city lives, by railway and motor car, to enjoy the pleasures of boating and the outdoor way of life. Some of the architects established national and international reputations – Voysey, Baillie Scott and Lutyens – but those with ties to the region, such as the Windermere-based architect Dan Gibson, produced some of the most locally inspired work. Small craft industries were flourishing and clients were able to fill their houses with beautiful workmanship by local craftspeople. Blackwell is now a much-visited site but many of the other houses featured here have become hotels or are regularly open to visitors. The book is illustrated with contemporary drawings and photographs as well as with Val Corbett’s splendid new photographs of both the exteriors in their glorious settings and the wonderful tiles, plasterwork, textiles, carvings and ironwork of their interiors. There is also a plan, newly drawn to the same scale, of each of the most significant houses. This book will be a joy and revelation to architects and devotees of the Arts and Crafts movement as well as being of great interest to all lovers of the Lake District.

Matthew Hyde is an architectural historian and author of the recent Pevsner volume on the Buildings of Cumbria. Esmé Whittaker is on the staff at English Heritage. She hails from the Lake District and her doctoral thesis was a ground-breaking study on the much admired work of Dan Gibson. Val Corbett is well known as a landscape photographer based in the Lake District.

Cecil Beaton Portraits and Profiles

Cecil Beaton. Edited by Hugo Vickers Cecil Beaton was a fashion, portrait and war photographer, a diarist, painter, interior designer and an Academy Award-winning stage and costume designer. He is one of the most celebrated portrait photographers of the twentieth century and is renowned for his images of elegance, glamour and style. Cecil Beaton: Portraits and Profiles combines Beaton’s photographic and pen portraits. His images often flattered but his diaries, journals and essays didn’t necessarily follow suit; he was described by Jean Cocteau as ‘Malice in Wonderland’. Grouped together broadly chronologically in chapters on The Roaring Twenties, High Society, Hollywood, The War Years, The Arts, and The Peacock Revolution, Beaton’s portraits offer insight, beauty, witty observations and a fascinating glimpse into his world. Included are Mick Jagger, Marlon Brando (‘pallid as a mushroom, smooth-skinned and scarred, with curved feminine lips and silky hair, he seems as unhealthy as a lame duck.’), Maria Callas, Coco Chanel, Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn (‘she is like a portrait by Modigliani where the various distortions are not only interesting in themselves but make a completely satisfying composite’), Elizabeth Taylor, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe (‘she romps, she squeals with delight, she leaps on the sofa. It is an artless, impromptu, high-spirited, infectiously gay performance. It will probably end in tears’), Princess Grace, Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill. Cecil Beaton’s life spanned many worlds and these are captured here through his fabulous photographs and incisive pen portraits.

Sir Cecil Beaton (1904–79) was educated at Harrow and Cambridge. In the 1920s he became a photographer for Vanity Fair and Vogue. The foremost photographer of his day, he also designed the settings and costumes for many films and plays. Beaton was knighted in 1972. Hugo Vickers was invited to become Cecil Beaton’s authorized biographer in 1979 and has since 1987 served as Beaton’s literary executor.

The Atlantic Coast of Ireland Photography by Jonathan Hession. Text by John Grenham Visiting the entire length of Ireland’s west coast, from the lush, quasi-tropical mountains of the south-west, through the barren limestone of West Clare to the stunning scale of sea-and-mountainscape in Donegal, The Atlantic Coast of Ireland records the geography in beautiful detail and tells the stories it echoes with. The extraordinary landscapes are spectacular but they also embody the processes of change that created them and continue to mould them. Their beauty is anything but timeless. When looked at with sympathetic eyes, these environments embody the particularities of geology, deep history, ecology, politics, climate, agriculture, religion, popular culture and much more. The diversities of Ireland’s culture and geography have combined to produce an acute particularity of place and history, found nowhere so intensely as here. Jonathan Hession has been a photographer since leaving school.

The English Country House Garden George Plumptre. Photography by Marcus Harpur This is the complete story of the English country house garden. Author George Plumptre takes the 25 most important English country house gardens of the 21st-century and explains what we can learn from them. Starting with ‘the essentials’ of Hidcote, Sissinghurst and Great Dixter, he explains why each of these has merited our attention for more than 100 years. Next he looks at historically important gardens covering 500 years of creation, regeneration and continuity, from the 18th-century masterpiece of Rousham to the High Victorian Gothic at Tyntesfield. Then he examines the ‘country house ideals’ evoking nostalgia and romanticism such as Kiftsgate, Spencers and Trebah, role models that explore the central partnership between house and garden. These give way to ‘personal creations’ where the garden is an expression of a personality or family, such as Lullingstone where Tom Hart Dyke made a World Garden of Plants and Charleston where founders of the Bloomsbury Group sat out the First World War and flourished. Finally, Plumptre turns his attention to contemporary designs. Here you see the work of Tom Stuart-Smith, Piet Oudolf and Dan Pearson pushing the boundaries within already impressive landscapes. These country house gardens are some of the most exciting gardens you can visit today. Unlike public gardens, these are private gardens created for a purpose, where the real-life issues of planting, architecture, water, ornament and landscape are as important as they are for any garden maker.

George Plumptre, author, journalist and lecturer, is an international authority on gardens and gardening. A former gardening correspondent for The Times, his other titles include Collins Book of British Gardens, The Latest Country Gardens and Great Gardens and Great Designers. Marcus Harpur formed Harpur Garden Library with his father in 1992. He is a contributing photographer to the RHS Garden Plant Selector and principal photographer for How to Garden and Dream Gardens of England.

Walk into the Dark Ages Discover the Greatest Early Medieval Sites of Britain and Ireland

Bill Bevan Following the success of Walk into Prehistory, Walk into the Dark Ages explores approximately 40 of Britain and Ireland’s most important and impressive Dark Ages sites and monuments, providing a beautifully illustrated guidebook for the armchair traveller. It was during the Dark Ages that the four nations of the British Isles were founded. Saints were deified, kings were buried in rich burials and kingdoms protected themselves with massive boundaries. Walk Into the Dark Ages shines a light into the period by enabling readers to explore the important sites which are testament to times which were turbulent and sometimes enigmatic, but also the locations of learning. Sites featured include the Saxon shore forts built by the Romans to try to protect Britannia from Anglo-Saxon invasions, kingly boat burials, long-distance dykes, fortified burghs, Dark Age forts, early Christian monasteries, churches and carved crosses. Presented as individual walks, the routes lead the reader back in time from the modern landscape to reconstruct in the mind’s eye what the Dark Ages landscape would have looked like – and how these often quiet places today would have been full of activity, noises and smells in the past.

Bill Bevan is an archaeologist, writer and photographer. He has worked for the National Trust, English Heritage, the Peak District National Park Authority and as a landscape archaeologist in the Lake District, Battle Abbey and the Peak District. Bill has written four books including the Frances Lincoln title Walk Into Prehistory as well as numerous articles on archaeology and history. He has also appeared on such television programmes as Channel 4’s Time Team and BBC’s Flog It!

What Makes Great Design Susie Hodge Design is everywhere. From chairs and coffee makers to pens and lamps, design is all-pervading. Yet why are we more receptive to some designs than others, and why do some products enrich our lives while others don’t? Ultimately, what makes a good design? What Makes Great Design showcases a selection of eighty outstanding designs over time and from around the world, assessing just what it is that makes each one so iconic, innovative, or satisfying. The role of a designer combines art, science, economics, and commerce, and often also engineering and marketing. Successful designs are extraordinarily diverse. Some may be beautiful or stylish (Raymond Stegeman’s RayBan Wayfarers); some may feature an innovative use of materials to turn an everyday object into something luxurious (Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair); some became items that are used everywhere (Marcel Bich’s Bic Crystal biro); others reveal a merging of precision manufacturing and design (Rolex Oyster Submariner), or become classics (Earl R. Dean’s Coca-Cola bottle), or fun objects (Jif lemon juice packaging); while others transform everyday utensils into cult objects (Bialetti’s Moka espresso maker) or change the way we work (Folle Classic Stapler). Susie Hodge selects items from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, and from around the world, and reveals the revolutionary skills and talents of their designers. Dividing the designs into ten themes, including Form, Movement, Beauty, and Harmony, she draws the reader’s attention to the elements of each design—such as expression, texture, colour, and proportion—that make it so successful and unique. Susie’s lively and accessible text is enriched by quotations from designers and critics revealing the impact of each piece at the time of its creation.

Liberty Style Martin Wood The story of Liberty’s is the story of design. The brand has been an international byword for style and innovation from May 1875, when Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened the doors of his Regent Street shop, to the present day. The son of a draper, Arthur Liberty (1843–1917) was inspired by the conviction that if he could only raise the capital to open his own shop he could change the whole look of fashion in dress and interior decoration. He did exactly that. In May 1875, backed by a loan from his father-in-law of £1500 and a bill for a further £1000, he opened Liberty’s for business at 218a Regent Street. The shop was commercially successful from the very beginning: the loan was paid off out of the first year’s profits, and the bill was met shortly after. Arthur Liberty has an impressive ability to spot talent and to promote good, innovative and interesting design; and his business has continued in that tradition. From its foundation Liberty’s was highly influential in the various phases of artistic taste: the Aesthetic movement; the Art and Crafts movement; Art Nouveau; Art Deco; and the Georgian revival. The work of almost all the great designers of the past century in the fields of glass, metalwork, furniture, ceramics, fashion and, above all, textiles has appeared under the Liberty label. In this book Martin Wood tells the story of Liberty’s, its design and its designers: from the pewter and silverware of Archibald Knox and the Silver Studio and William De Morgan’s tiles to the fabrics of Lucienne Day, Sonia Delaunay and Bernard Nevill and the furniture of Piero Fornasetti and Vico Magistretti (and Ringo Starr!).

Martin Wood is an established garden and interior designer and writer. His books on influential figures in the history of design include Nancy Lancaster, John Fowler, Laura Ashley and Sister Parish, all published by Frances Lincoln.

The Writer’s Garden How Gardens Inspired our Best-loved Authors

Jackie Bennett. Photography by Richard Hanson From Agatha Christie to Rupert Brooke, and Jane Austen to Roald Dahl some of our bestread novelists, poets, biographers and authors of children’s books have turned to their gardens for solace and inspiration. This book explores the diverging roles that gardens take in their lives: from Daphne du Maurier’s huge blood-red rhododendrons that the eponymous Rebecca sees on her arrival at Manderley; to Beatrix Potter’s watercolours of the vegetable garden at Hill Top house for ‘The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck’; to Sir Walter Scott, laying out his garden at Abbotsford to distract himself from mounting debts. In the books themselves, the gardens can be simply a backdrop to a good story – but for writers like Roald Dahl and Rudyard Kipling at Batemans, they were more than that – they were the lifeblood of their fantastic and vivid creations. This book provides unique new insight into the role of gardens and gardening in the creative lives of 20 writers. The list of writers includes Agatha Christie, Beatrix Potter, Charles Dickens, Frances Hodgson Burnett, George Bernard Shaw, Rupert Brooke and the Granchester Group, Henry James, Jane Austen, Roald Dahl, Robert Burns, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, Walter Scott, Winston Churchill, and William and Dorothy Wordsworth.

Jackie Bennett is a former editor of The Garden Design Journal, the English Garden Magazine and Gardening with the National Trust. She began her career in television, producing gardening and natural history programmes before becoming a full time writer. She won the Garden Writer’s Guild Gardening Column of the Year 2009 for a series about her own Norfolk garden.

Egg A Culinary Exploration of the World’s Most Versatile Ingredient

Michael Ruhlman For culinary visionary Michael Ruhlman, the question is not whether the chicken or the egg came first, it’s how anything could be accomplished in the kitchen without the magic of the common egg. Ruhlman starts with perfect poached and scrambled eggs, and builds up to brioche and Italian meringue. Along the way, readers learn to make their own mayonnaise, pasta, custards, quiches, cakes and other preparations that rely fundamentally on the hidden powers of the egg. A unique framework for the book is provided in an illustrated egg flowchart, which starts with the whole egg at the top and branches out to describe its many uses and preparations – boiled, pressure-cooked, poached, fried, coddled, separated, worked into batters and doughs, and more. Some 100 recipes are grouped by technique, and range from simple (Egg Salad with Tarragon and Chives) to sophisticated (nougat), while step-by-step photographs guide the home cook through this remarkable culinary journey.

Michael Ruhlman has been writing about the lives of chefs for more than 20 years, and in that time has become a chef himself. His books include The Making of a Chef, The Soul of a Chef and The Reach of a Chef and, on cooking, Ratio, The Elements of Cooking and Charcuterie. The book Twenty: The Ideas and Techniques That Will Make You a Better Cook won a prestigious James Beard Foundation Award in 2012.

Paul Gayler, Executive Chef at The Lanesborough Hotel London, has turned it into a gourmet treat. Sweeping away the enduring perception of burgers as merely a fast-food staple, Paul Gayler allows everyone to bring gourmet cooking into their own kitchen – whether for a sophisticated dinner party or a low-key barbecue. With its iconic status assured for more than a century as America’s staple convenience food, the burger has been enjoying a healthy revival of late – thanks to its mainstay of a few quality ingredients, cooked quickly and served up as fresh as can be. A succulent home-made burger makes the perfect meal: nutritious, filling and portable, it combines a host of flavours that tantalise the taste buds. In this serving of Burgers, Paul Gayler presents his favourite 25 burger recipes. As well as the expected Ultimate burger with ‘the works’, there’s a wealth of delicious and imaginative offerings. For carnivores, there’s an eclectic mix and not just beef: choose, for instance, from a Caribbean pork burger, Smoked chicken cobb burger, Tandoori lamb burger or Turkey BLT burger stack. Vegetarians and fish eaters can enjoy a Feta club burger, Southwest red bean burger, Lebanese kibbeh burger or Jumbo prawn burger, among others. There really is a burger for everyone.

Paul Gayler MBE is Executive Chef at the five-star Lanesborough Hotel London. He has 20 years’ experience in some of the most respected kitchens and restaurants in Europe. As well as many appearances on British TV, he is the author of over 20 cookery books. His books have sold over 500,000 copies worldwide and have been translated into ten languages. Paul Gayler has also won the Guild of Food Writers’ Cookery Book of the Year.

Tout Haché Meatballs – Tartare – Burgers

Café Moderne Tout Haché: meat chopped, minced or ground – but not only meat. Many countries have a fine tradition of mixing and binding an array of ingredients to create simple but delicious dishes, whether chopped up finely as tartare, fashioned into burgers or rolled into meatballs, boulettes or dumplings. Borrowing from such global culinary heritage and inspired by the popularity of street food and New York-style delicatessens, the team behind Café Moderne in Paris reinvents in Tout Haché the modest meatball in a suprising number of variations. Here you’ll find appealing recipes using beef and lamb, of course, but also tuna, salmon and prawns. Discover such aromatic combinations as Veal Boulettes with Herbs, Chicken Boulettes with Sesame, Lebanese-style Steak Tartare, Tartare of Shrimp, Mango and Coconut Milk, and – for those with an even sweeter tooth – Chocolate Coconut Truffles. Proving that there’s more to meatballs than tomato sauce, this stylish collection of over 30 recipes also features a variety of sauces and accompaniments, including creamed polenta, classic frites and mixed fried vegetables.

Café Moderne is a chic restaurant in Bastille, Paris, run by three friends, one a trained chef and two with a passion for the street food of New York. The menu they have created, offering a tempting variety of meatballs and burgers served with mix-andmatch sauces, is a celebration of the culinary love affair that exists between Paris and New York.

Kitchenalia Furnishing and Equipping Your Kitchen with Flea-Market Finds and Period Pieces

Vinny Lee Kitchenalia is an inspiring guide to putting together a unique and creative kitchen using reclaimed and reinvented surfaces, furniture, objects and equipment.

This book presents all the elements you would want, and shows how to put them together in different interpretations of the look, from country to utilitarian, classic white to retro.

An ice cream machine takes the strain and speeds up the process of home-made ice cream, eliminating the need to break up ice crystals yet producing seductive confections without fuss. If you don’t own a machine, buy one! Manufacturers’ instructions may contain a handful of recipes but you will want more, and more. Each of these recipes has been prepared for use in a variety of machines, either top-of-the-range or less expensive models, or indeed without a machine at all – they make preparing ice cream almost as much fun as eating it! The introduction will help you get to know your machine, and a comprehensive guide goes over the finer points to ensure best flavours and perfect results every time. More than 100 recipes feature sherbets, sorbets, and reduced fat ice creams, as well as ice milk and tofu ice creams, with further sections on sauces and luxury desserts. The alltime favourites are here: vanilla and strawberry, along with extraordinary experiences, such as Chilli and Chocolate Ice Cream or Raspberry Tofu Ripple.

Rosemary Moon’s enthusiasm for life and good food come across in her writing, and in her demonstrations at cooking festivals. From an early career as a home economist in research and development which she combined with the running of a delicatessen, specialising in farmhouse cheeses and coffees, Rosemary has more recently written several books.

Special Forces Survival Techniques Desert * Arctic * Mountain * Jungle * Urban

Alexander Stilwell Special Forces are trained to take on the toughest missions in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most challenging environments. They stand apart from regular military forces because of the extent and variety of their training and their ability to master any situation. This book is a practical guide to their training and unique skills. In order to complete their missions successfully, Special Forces soldiers must escape dangers specific to each environment, and use the land they are in not only to survive, but to evade capture. They often have to operate in remote areas, for example when monitoring the movement of enemy missile units in the desert or intercepting insurgents in the jungle. Special Forces need to be able to master extreme environments. Special Forces soldiers are also trained to learn from and respect people who are native to particular environments, whether it is the Inuit people of the arctic, the Bedouin of the desert, or the Dayaks of the Borneo jungle. This book will provide an insight into those native skills. Special Forces Survival Techniques is about the inside knowledge and key survival training that helps Special Forces to carry out their missions in extreme environments around the world, or to escape from danger and fight another day. You do not have to be in the Special Forces to benefit from learning their skills.

Alexander Stilwell is the author of The Special Forces Bible (Chartwell Books, 2013). An experienced writer and editor specializing in military history and current affairs, he spent six years in the British Territorial Army. Here, he gained invaluable training in survival skills, first aid procedures, and escape and evasion techniques.

50 Foods that Changed the Course of History Bill Price Food plays a central role in ours lives: it is a necessity for all of us, a pleasure for many and an obsession for a few. Throughout our history, we have shaped the foods we eat, but, in 50 Foods that Changed the Course of History, we look at how it has shaped us by discussing fifty different foodstuffs which have, in one way or another, changed the world. We begin with our ancient ancestors, the hunters and gathers who first migrated into Europe 45,000 years ago, and continue right up to the present day, to the food riots which swept through many countries in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, and then on into the future by discussing the potential of golden rice, the first genetically modified food developed for the good of humanity rather than solely for profit. By taking examples from across such a wide stretch of history and from numerous different cultures and societies, what emerges is a portrait of the enormous influence food has had on our history. It not only sustains us, but has played a central role in the way we live our lives, as it will no doubt continue to do in the future. If it is true to say that we are what we eat, then the examples described here, of fifty foods that changed the course of history, show us that it is equally the case that what we eat makes us who we are.

Bill Price is a freelance writer and seasoned traveller currently working and living in North London. For fifteen years he worked in various areas of the book trade, but more recently he has built a reputation as a specialist in travel and history writing and has become a regular contributor to a large number of international publications as well as popular reference books. His published works include Charles Darwin: Origins and Arguments, Tutankhamun: Egypt’s Most Famous Pharaoh, Winston Churchill: War Leader and History’s Greatest Decisions.

Send Something Beautiful Fold, Pull, Print, Cut and Turn Paper into Collectable Keepsakes and Memorable Mail

Emily Hogarth In the age of information, a tangible love letter, postcard or a little handmade card, or an invitation or crafted gift sent through the post can speak a thousand emails or texts. Imagine receiving a hand-crafted pop-up or papercut card that has been designed especially for you – perhaps with your name or a special motif incorporated; a composite postcard sent in installments that completes the picture over time; hand-printed wrapping paper or an origami box of customised treats; a revolving and papercut CD sleeve that reveals part of a hidden message with each turn; or a calligraphic love letter enclosed in a exquisitely-lined and hand-folded envelope. It’s hard to resist such obvious attention to detail, originality, hand-crafted skill and old school charm. The art of creating and then giving or sending something beautiful can also be a real joy, as this book reveals. Whether you’re looking for new ways to correspond, want a change from technological communication for a while, or just love crafting with paper, Send Something Beautiful is for you. It includes a huge array of paper crafting and engineering techniques, plus 25 inspiring projects to help you spoil or impress your penpals, friends, family or loved ones. The book itself also makes the perfect gift and includes basic and original templates to draw from or cut out. The arts of both papercraft and of correspondence enjoy a romantic and fascinating past – from paper peep shows to pop up books to love letters and the Mail Art movement – all captured within the preliminary introduction and in fact files throughout the book. And to make sure your thoughts make it through the post, there’s a handy universal guide to finding out about postal regulations and factoring in cost before you drop your gift or letter into the mailbox.

Supernatural The World Guide to Mysterious Places

Sarah Bartlett From the barren deserts of southern Peru to the lush valleys of central Europe, the supernatural forms part of the ancient myths and legends of every culture. The muchfeared and popularized vampire is found not only in Romania, but also in other countries such as Scotland, Ghana, and the Philippines. Ghosts not only haunt ruined medieval European castles, but also lurk in American cemeteries, roam the Hex River Valley of South Africa, or inhabit deserted towns, battle sites, and islands. Legendary heroes are as numerous in Burma as they are in Greece, and mystical places can be as empowering as Ayers Rock in Australia or as baffling as Aramu Muru in southern Peru. Supernatural is a comprehensive guide to exploring the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supernatural heritage and where to seek out a mystical, otherworldly, or spine-chilling experience. Each entry provides an evocative insight into the mystery and story surrounding the site, why it is so fascinating, and what it is like to visit. The restless ghost of Marie Antoinette at Versailles and the sinister legend of the Flying Dutchman are both intriguing and frightful, whereas the lost city of Mycenae in Greece and the ancient Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza are awe-inspiring with their spiritual treasures. Precisely researched, the lively text details who or what each mysterious place has inspired in popular culture. Supernatural, invisible forces are all around, and there are some places where a dark presence or mystery can be sensed immediately. Whether searching for a universal mystery or hunting out a ghost, Supernatural provides a wealth of fascinating, accessible places for courageous and curious readers to investigate and explore.

Tape It and Wear It 101 Duct Tape Activities to Make and Wear

Richela Fabian Morgan Duct tape has certainly come far since the days of being a quick-fix material that only came in the silver variety – and it’s a material that is being pushed further still. Although ‘designer’ duct tape is relatively new, it is meant for a bigger stage – a fashion stage. This book presents 101 accessories that can be worn without someone knowing that you made them out of duct tape. It may be a piece that ties your outfit together, elevates a plain shirt or dress, or makes you a little more chic in the eyes of admirers. And no one is going to ask you if that’s duct tape. It can be your little secret – and maybe mine, too. In some other duct tape books you need several whole rolls of duct tape to complete a project. Not so here. Accessories are all about choosing the right colour or pattern to bring out the oomph in an outfit. The hibiscus flower that is fashioned into a hair clip used about three yards of tape. How awesome is that? And the leftover tape can be used to make two bracelets and a credit card holder. Mixing and matching tapes also creates a more subtle result since you are using smaller sections of tape. So be daring and make a few unexpected pairings. You’ll be surprised at the results.

Richela Fabian Morgan began her duct tape odyssey more than six years ago with a simple bi-fold wallet. She now makes several products ranging from bags to decals, and sells her duct tape creations online via Etsy, as well as through local retail stores. Richela teaches duct tape crafting to primary school kids as well as adults at her local community college in Larchmont, New York. She also writes a craft blog at craftyrichela.blogspot. com.

50 Weapons That Changed the Course of History Joel Levy Fifty Weapons that Changed the Course of History is a fascinating and beautifully presented guide to the arms and armaments that have had the greatest impact on the development of human civilization. Entries include: the longbow, which led an outnumbered English army to a famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415; the Soviet T-34, the most effective and influential (in terms of design) tank to feature in World War Two; and the Tomahawk cruise missile, which has revolutionized tactics in modern warfare. In order to justify the assertion that they literally ‘changed the course of history’, each weapon is judged by its influence in four categories: Social, Political, Tactical, and Technological.

Joel Levy is a writer and journalist specializing in history and science. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including Newton’s Notebook, Great Scientists, History’s Lost Treasures and the forthcoming History’s Worst Battles. He has also written features and articles for the national press, and has appeared on national television and numerous local and national radio shows.

50 Shades of Rust Barn Finds You Wish You’d Discovered

Tom Cotter In recent years, the quest to find and restore forgotten automotive gems has generated a cult-like following – a very large cult-like following. So large, in fact, that the subject of automotive archaeology has inspired an entire genre of television programs, including Counting Cars, Desert Car Kings, Chasing Classic Cars, One of a Kind, What’s My Car Worth?, and numerous others. Author Tom Cotter is at the forefront of this movement with his In the Barn series, a line of books that inspired many of the abovementioned television programs. 50 Shades of Rust collects 90 of the all-time best barn-find stories in condensed form. Each story is accompanied by photographs from the scenes of the finds, creating a heavily illustrated book unlike any barn-find book yet published.

Tom Cotter writes regularly for Road & Track and other magazines and has a love for motorcycle and automotive rescue. He has written four books on the lure of collector-car archaeology.

Shelby Mustang Fifty Years

Colin Comer From the original Shelby Mustang GT350 to today’s 700-plus horsepower GT500, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Co. have defined high-performance with their Shelby Mustangs. Shelby built his Mustangs from 1965 until 1970, the end point at which it seemed that the muscle car was a dying breed. Then an odd thing happened – people began to recognize the classic nature of the car almost as soon as Shelby ceased building them and prices began to climb. Shelby Mustangs still occupy the top slots at many auctions and Shelby continues to build its popular modern versions of the Mustang today. Shelby Mustang: Fifty Years, lavishly illustrated with rare historic photography and modern color images, tells the story of these amazing cars, from the initial collaboration with Ford to today’s record-setting high-tech muscle cars.

GTO 50 Years The Original Muscle Car

Darwin Holmstrom and David Newhardt In 1963 Pontiac’s Chief Engineer John DeLorean and his two favorite staff engineers came up with an inspired way to keep Pontiac cars in the performance limelight: bolt a big engine into Pontiac’s upcoming Tempest intermediate body.

Through cunning, resourcefulness, and outright trickery the minds of Pontiac managed to get this rocket into dealerships and out onto America’s highways, and to introduce that most iconic of American automobiles, the muscle car, to the nation’s most discriminating drivers. This is the story of the GTO, of the people who made it a reality and a sales sensation, of those who owned and loved it. Officially licensed by General Motors.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Twenty-Five Years

Thomas Bryant The Mazda MX-5, (known as Miata in North America and Eunos Roadster in Japan), revolutionized the lightweight two-seater roadster market. By taking the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout of traditional British and Italian roadsters and combining it with the modern function and reliability for which Japanese cars were justly famous, Mazda created what many consider the perfect sports car. In 2009, British automotive critic Jeremy Clarkson wrote: ‘The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I’m giving it five stars is because I can’t give it 14.’ Mazda MX-5 Miata: Twenty-Five Years is a handsomelyillustrated coffee table book celebrating the first quarter century of this ground-breaking sports car.

Legends of Surfing The Greatest Surfriders from Duke Kahanamoku to Kelly Slater

Duke Boyd. Foreword by Steve Pezman Surfing, Jack London remarked, is ‘a royal sport for the natural kings of earth’. The greatest of those natural kings grant readers an audience in this glorious celebration of the world’s best surfers. Part exquisite picture book and travelogue to the top of the world, part biography and reference guidebook, Legends of Surfing profiles one hundred great surfers, men and women, from throughout the world. In life stories, and in exclusive interviews – which only the surfing icon Duke Boyd could have pulled off – stellar surfers such as Wayne Bartholomew, Tom Curren, Andy and Bruce Irons, Duke Kahanamoku, Dave Kalama, Gerry Lopez, Rob Machado, Mark Occhilupo, and Kelly Slater give us a rare firsthand look at what it’s like, in this crowded world, to ‘seek and find the perfect day, the perfect wave, and be alone with the surf and his thoughts.’ (John Severson, Surfer magazine, 1960) Duke Boyd is himself a legend of surfing. He is a surfer, of course, but even better known as co-founder in 1962 of Hang Ten surfwear, the first surfwear clothing line. He lives in Hawaii. Steve Pezman is publisher of The Surfer’s Journal.

Starting with their roots in Dublin in the 1970s, where the four teenaged friends first performed and signed with Island Records, author and rock journalist Matt Snow follows the band through its breakout hit ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ and the chart-topping albums of the 1980s, their record-breaking tours and global activism of the 1990s, and their reflective reconnection with core fans in the 21st century.

The Art of the Snowflake A Photographic Album

Kenneth Libbrecht The perfect geometry and exquisite beauty of nature is nowhere so clear to us as in the snowflake. But how have we been able to appreciate this infinitesimal wonder in all its crystalline glory? This book, as much a work of art as a testament to science, reveals how one of the snowflake’s most inspired photographers came to such intimate knowledge of his craft and its fleeting focus. Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth Libbrecht’s story of the microphotography of snow crystals, from the pioneering work of Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to Ken’s own innovations in our age of digital images. A breath-taking look at the works of art that melt in an instant, this is a book to page through and savour season after season.

Kenneth Libbrecht is a professor of physics and head of the physics department at Caltech and has published numerous articles on a range of scientific topics, including the free oscillations of the sun and stars, ultra-cold atomic gases, the detection of gravitational radiation, and the mechanics of crystal growth.

Jimi Hendrix Gear The Guitars, Amps & Effects That Revolutionized Rock ’n’ Roll

Michael Heatley, Harry Shapiro and Roger Mayer How did he do it? So many years later, it’s still the question guitar aficionados ask about Jimi Hendrix, whose music was like nobody else’s. Song by song, album by album, concert by concert, this book analyzes how Hendrix achieved that sound – and so, shows you how to achieve it, too. The book examines all of Hendrix’s equipment, providing a nuts-andbolts analysis of each of his guitars (including serial number, history, and provenance), his amps choices, and his singular use of revolutionary effects from wah-wahs to overdrives to bizarre-o pedals like the Fuzzface. A practical reference book like no other, this volume gives the proper guidance and tools to any guitarist who wants to take a stab at emulating one of the greatest players of all time.

Michael Heatley writes for Guitar and Bass magazine in Britain and has penned over 100 music books.

Star Guitars 101 Guitars That Rocked the World

Dave Hunter and Billy F. Gibbons These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King’s Lucille, Eric Clapton’s Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s First Wife, Billy F Gibbons’ Pearly Gates, Neil Young’s Old Black, and many more. Here’s the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual ‘star guitars’ – the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby’s auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars – Clapton’s Strat, Slash’s Les Paul – and this book explains the stars’ modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.

Dave Hunter, author, musician, and journalist, is presenter and co-author of the Totally Interactive Guitar Bible and its two follow-up titles. Among his other books are the popular The Guitar Amp Handbook, and Guitar Rigs. September 2014 9780760347010 Paperback £12.99 288 pp 276 x 235 mm 644 colour & 121 b/w photos

From giants of the movement – Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Sonic Youth, and the Pixies, and more – to lesser-known acts that made their own impact, if on a smaller scale – including Jesus Lizard, Cows, Low, Screeching Weasel, and others – Earles provides an exhaustive album guide to the era. Also giving nods to those bands that cut their teeth on the indie circuit but graduated to a greater degree of mainstream recognition in the early 1990s – including R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, and Nirvana – Gimme Indie Rock is the definitive manual for the best American indie music made between 1981 and 1996.

American Dance The Complete Illustrated History

Margaret Fuhrer and Grace Labatt From Native American dance rituals to dance in the digital age, American Dance explores centuries of innovation, of individual genius and collaborative exploration. Some of its stories will be familiar to anyone who loves dance. Others are rarely told, yet no less riveting. The complex origins of tap, for instance, or the Puritan outrage against ‘profane and promiscuous dancing’ during the early years of the United States, are as full of mystery and humour as Graham describes. Breakdancing, musical-theatre dance, disco, ballet, jazz, ballroom, modern, hula, the Charleston, the Texas two-step, swing—these are just some of the forms celebrated in this riveting volume. Hundreds of photographs accompany the text, making American Dance as visually captivating as the works it depicts.

Margaret Fuhrer is an arts writer living in New York City. She’s an associate editor at both Dance Spirit and Pointe magazines, and she contributes frequently to Dance Magazine, Dance Teacher, and the Huffington Post.
