Tell Me a Picture Quentin Blake In 2001, Quentin Blake – the first Children’s Laureate – chose twenty-six of his favourite paintings for an exhibition at the National Gallery.

Very different artworks were chosen, some by fine artists and some by children’s illustrators, but they all had one thing in common: a story to tell.

In this book, Quentin urges children to use their imaginations and look for stories in pictures everywhere. Reissued with a new introduction from the author, Tell Me A Picture will show a new generation the adventures that await in looking at art.

Making fine art and illustration accessible, the book includes pictures by artists as diverse as Edward Hopper, Paula Rego, Francisco de Goya and John Burningham. A notes section at the back gives information on the artists and their works.

Comparative titles include The Art Book For Children; The Quentin Blake Treasury; Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered.

Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved illustrators of our time, and his books with a wide range of authors, including Joan Aiken, Russell Hoban, Michael Rosen and Roald Dahl, have been treasured by generations of children throughout the world. In 1999 he became the first Children’s Laureate. In 2005 he was awarded a CBE and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration.

The Great Big Book of Families Mary Hoffman & Ros Asquith What is a family? Once, it was said to be a father, mother, boy, girl, cat and dog living in a house with a garden. But as times have changed, families have changed too, and now there are almost as many kinds of families as colours of the rainbow – from a mum and dad or single parent to two mums or two dads, from a mixed-race family to children with different mums and dads, from families with a disabled member to those with a mum or dad in prison.

Mary Hoffman takes a look through children’s eyes at the wide varieties of family life: from homes, food, ways of celebrating, schools and holidays to getting around, jobs and housework, from extended families, languages and hobbies to pets and family trees – and she concludes that, for most people, their own family is the best one of all! With Ros Asquith’s delightful pictures, this book takes a fresh, optimistic look at families of today.

Mary Hoffman is the internationally acclaimed author of over 100 children’s books including Amazing Grace which has become a modern classic. Ros Asquith has been a Guardian cartoonist for 20 years and written over 60 books for children and teenagers.

Hitler’s War Experience World War II as Portrayed by Nazi Propaganda Magazine Signal – and Then Discover What Really Happened

Jeremy Harwood The first issue of Signal hit the newsstands in April 1940; the last appeared on 12 April 1945, just weeks before the Third Reich’s surrender. By 1943, its circulation was around 2.5 million. Appearing like clockwork once a fortnight – it had started as a supplement to the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung – it circulated in Germany’s growing occupied territories across Europe as well as in Germany itself and an English-language edition was even produced for the United States.

This fascinating survey charts Signal’s entire career, from the heady days of the Blitzkrieg, when final victory, it was assumed, lay just around the corner, to how the magazine faced up to the Reich’s decline and fall.

At its outset, it was brashly optimistic, packed full of photographs celebrating the Reich’s triumph over its enemies.

Later, as the tide of war swung inexorably against Nazi Germany, Signal reported on gossip, film stars and tales of derring-do rather than Allied advances. The historical commentary in Hitler’s War puts the magazine content into accurate historical context providing a clear picture of how the war turned against Hitler, and showing how, after 1943, the story of the war and Nazi Germany that Signal presented became ever more increasingly at odds with reality.

Jeremy Harwood studied history at Christ Church, Oxford, where he won an Open Exhibition and was awarded the Sir Keith Feiling Memorial Prize as the college’s top history undergraduate of his year. Recent books include five volumes in the Looking Back at Britain history series (Reader’s Digest, UK), Philosophy: an Introduction and Hidden History (Quercus), Atlas of History’s Greatest Military Victories (Icon Books), Unexplained Mysteries of World War II (Firefly) and Secrets & Lies of Military Intelligence (Sterling).

The Debs of Bletchley Park and Other Stories Michael Smith The public fascination with Britain’s wartime codebreakers shows no sign of abating, as reflected in the success of numerous books, newspaper articles, and television programmes like The Bletchley Circle.

Amid all this enthusiasm and interest, one major area of Bletchley Park has so far received less focus than it deserves. At the peak of Bletchley’s success, a total of twelve thousand people worked there, of whom nine thousand were women.

The Debs of Bletchley Park and Other Stories tells the stories of these women, how they came to be there, the lives they gave up to do ‘their bit’ for the war effort, and the part they played in the vital work of ‘Station X’. The central protagonists are the Debutante who was an indexer in the Naval Section alongside Baroness Trumpington; the Student of German literature who broke off her studies at the age of nineteen to go to Bletchley and went on to became one of Britain’s leading code breakers; the Foreign Office Clerk who was the personal assistant to the head of Bletchley Park; the Wren who worked on the ‘Bombes’, the incredible machine designed by Alan Turing which helped break the Enigma ciphers; the Stripper, one of the women who worked on the Japanese codes, writing out endless streams of numbers to assist in stripping off the ciphers; and the Teleprinter Operator who has never seen her work as being as important as that of the ‘real people’ who worked at ‘Station X’, even though – like all these women – she was an essential cog in a very large machine and without her and her colleagues the code breakers’ intelligence would never have reached the commanders who used it to help to win the war.

They are an incredible set of women, and this is their story.

Michael Smith is the author of a number of bestselling books on spies, special forces and codebreaking including the Sunday Times number one bestseller Station X: The Codebreakers of Bletchley Park; Foley: The Spy Who Saved 10,000 Jews; The Spying Game and Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America’s Most Secret Special Operations Team.

Smith worked for the BBC, the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Times before becoming a full-time author. He studied creative writing at Oxford University and has an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing (The Novel) from Brunel University. Michael lives in Hertfordshire.

Flying Scotsman The Extraordinary Story of the World’s Most Famous Locomotive

Andrew Roden Think of the Golden Age of Steam and one train leaps to mind above all others: the Flying Scotsman, Nigel Gresley’s masterpiece of a locomotive that broke the world speed record in 1934 and has enthralled millions with her beauty and power.

Andrew Roden tells the Scotsman’s remarkable story, from her construction and the glory days between the wars through the decline of steam and her rollercoaster fortunes in the subsequent years.

With the aid of numerous interviews with those involved with the Scotsman over the years, Roden brings her story memorably to life. Above all, he asks: why do grown men risk their life savings to own her? Why do thousands of people still line the trackside when she’s due to race past?

And just what is the eternal appeal of the Flying Scotsman?

Andrew Roden is a railway journalist, author and campaigner. He has worked on a range of railway magazines over the past decade from RAIL and Hornby Magazine to the International Railway Journal as Contributing Editor.

Bannockburn Scotland’s Greatest Battle for Independence

Angus Konstam In Scotland, on the eve of hard-fought referendum, history is more likely to be seen as a weapon to be wielded in a modern battle for the hearts and minds of the Scottish people.

The Battle of Bannockburn (2324 June, 1314) was a turning point in history, for the English as well as the Scots. This medieval battle helped define the political landscape of Britain. For many Scots this seminal moment from their past has become a patriotic talisman, even though the romantic myths which surround it have all but obscured what really happened. Seven centuries later debates on national identity and Scottish independence will inevitably be influenced by the events of 1314.

This landmark study, published to celebrate the 700th anniversary, is a clear and compelling account of Bannockburn, without political spin or tartan-clad embellishments.

Magic Words The Extraordinary Life of Alan Moore

Lance Parkin For over three decades comics fans and creators have regarded Alan Moore as a titan of the form.

With works such as V for Vendetta, Watchmen and From Hell, he has repeatedly staked out new territory, attracting literary plaudits and a mainstream audience far removed from his underground origins. His place in popular culture is now such that major Hollywood players vie to adapt his books for cinema.

Yet Moore’s journey from the hippie Arts Labs of the 1970s to the bestseller lists was far from preordained. A principled eccentric, who has lived his whole life in one English town, he has been embroiled in fierce feuds with some of the entertainment industry’s biggest corporations.

Now, as Alan Moore hits sixty, it’s time to go in search of this extraordinary gentleman, and follow the peculiar path taken by a writer quite unlike any other.

Lance Parkin is a British author of fiction and reference books for television series. He is an Alan Moore completist, having followed the comic maestro’s career since the 1970s, and in 2001 he wrote an acclaimed guide to Moore’s work.

Britain’s Lost Churches Matthew Hyde Architectural commentator Matthew Hyde travels the country to seek out and tell the stories of a wide variety of churches now lost to history. From buildings erected to worship God, as well as defy the elements, in Orkney; to abbeys destroyed in Henry VIII’s dissolution programme; to royal churches were erected in North Wales; to those now sadly submerged under newly-built reservoirs in Cumbria; and the terrible cost of aerial warfare, which resulted in the total destruction of churches during Hitler’s Blitz in World War Two. Complete with archive photography and illustrations mirroring their glorious past and personal photography from the author showing how many look today: shrouded in undergrowth, left in ruins, some completely gone forever.

Commander Riptide A Short History of My Life Through Movies

Todd McEwen Raised in Southern California in the ’50s and ’60s, Todd McEwen found that the movies were everywhere.

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.

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 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 lives in America. Previous novels include McX: A Romance of the Dour, Who Sleeps with Katz, The Five Simple Machines and non-fiction How Not to Be American.

The Housekeeper’s Tale The Women Who Really Ran the English Country House

Tessa Boase Working as a housekeeper was one of the most prestigious jobs a nineteenth and early twentieth century woman could want – and also one of the toughest. A far cry from the Downton Abbey fiction, the real life ‘Mrs Hughes’ was up against capricious mistresses, low pay, no job security and gruelling physical labour. Until now, her story has never been told.

The Housekeeper’s Tale reveals the personal sacrifices, bitter disputes and driving ambition that shaped these women’s careers. Delving into secret diaries, unpublished letters and the neglected service archives of our stately homes, Tessa Boase tells the extraordinary stories of five working women who ran some of Britain’s most prominent households. Revelatory, gripping and unexpectedly poignant, The Housekeeper’s Tale champions the invisible women who ran the English country house.

Telegraph Book of the Kitchen Sarah Rainey The opening of the Savoy in 1889, with Auguste Escoffier at the helm of its kitchen, rang in the new era of the celebrity chef.

Though food is intrinsic to our very existence, the public’s interest was piqued and our pursuit of gastronomy has been on the rise ever since. Fortunately, the Telegraph has been there to document it.

Trawling through the archives, features writer Sarah Rainey, has read through the great and the good as well as the more nostalgic recipes and culinary contemplations. Contributions from literary figures and their kitchens such as A.S. Byatt, sit beautifully alongside the slightly less erudite but equally wonderful entries that are a snapshot into the era they were written.

The hidden gems of the past include interviews with ‘upand-coming’ chefs including Richard Stein, producing the best of New British Cooking in Padstow, not to mention the flamboyant Egon Ronay extolling the virtues of the ‘new’ trend of coffee houses.

Sometimes preventing hollandaise from splitting when you are sweating in a hot kitchen is just not worth it. So take some time out, sit down and read about what Mary Berry did before The Great British Bake Off, how Heston Blumenthal wasn’t the first person to make weird flavours of ice cream and the trade tips from the perennially progressive Elizabeth David. This is a collection of all that we love about food from the archives of the Telegraph.

Sarah Rainey is a features writer for the Daily Telegraph.

She writes on a range of issues but mostly she writes about her favourite subject: food.

A prolific cook and baker, her foodie achievements include making a cake for The Great British Bake Off’s Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, attempting the Masterchef invention challenge and churning out 339 traybakes in a single weekend. Trawling through the Telegraph’s food archives, spanning 116 years of recipes, interviews and kitchen tips, was a dream task, making her feel equally inspired and hungry.

Gallipoli 1915 Alan Moorehead A century has now gone by, yet the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16 is still infamous as arguably the most ill conceived, badly led and pointless campaign of the First World War. The brainchild of Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, following Turkey’s entry into the war on the German side, its ultimate objective was to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in western Turkey, thus allowing the Allies to take control of the eastern Mediterranean and increase pressure on the Central Powers to drain manpower from the vital Western Front.

From the very beginning of the first landings, however, the campaign went awry, and suffered countless casualties.

The Allied commanders were ignorant of the terrain, and seriously underestimated the Turkish army which had been bolstered by their German allies. Thus the Allies found their campaign stalled from the off and their troops hopelessly entrenched on the hillsides for long agonising months, through the burning summer and bitter winter, in appalling, dysentery-ridden conditions. By January 1916, the death toll stood at 21,000 British troops, 11,000 Australian and New Zealand, and 87,000 Turkish and the decision was made to withdraw, which in itself, ironically, was deemed to be a success.

First published in 1956, when it won the inaugural Duff Cooper Prize, Alan Moorehead’s book is still regarded as the definitive work on this tragic episode of the Great War. With a new introduction from Sir Max Hastings, himself inspired as a young man by Moorehead’s books, Gallipoli 1915 provides an in-depth analysis of the campaign.

Featuring character sketches of the main players, Moorehead brings the complex operation to life, showing how and why it went so terribly wrong and why a century on, Gallipoli remains a byword for the loss of human life.

86

Alan Moorehead was born in Melbourne in 1910. Educated at Scotch College and Melbourne University, he was a reporter for the Melbourne Herald before sailing to London in 1936.

He became foreign correspondent for the Daily Express, and ultimately one of the finest correspondents of World War II. After the war he turned from journalism to writing books, and in 1956 won the Duff Cooper Prize for Gallipoli.

He was awarded the OBE in 1946 and the CBE in 1968. Alan Moorehead died in 1983. Aurum republished his 1944 book, The Desert War: The North Africa Campaign 1940-43 in 2009.

Lizzy came to the sport almost by accident – she had run a marathon or two, but tried her first ultra, a 40-mile track race, when invited to stay with friends in Wales.

One month later she was representing England.

Within eighteen months she was the women’s world champion for 100km. Not bad for someone who started life in Upminster, has no coach, no gym, no physio and was finishing her PhD. Runner is the story of her journey and will get inside the head of the physical, mental and emotional challenges that runners go through at the edge of human endurance, in much the same way as Aurum’s classic running story Feet in the Clouds by Richard Askwith did ten years ago. Her story, as a self-taught champion, will be an inspiration for anyone who has dreamt of lacing up a pair of trainers and wondering how far they could run.

Lizzy Hawker ‘fell’ into the world of ultra-distance and endurance running more by chance than by design. Endurance has always been a way of life for Lizzy, rather than a sport. But having the courage to take some unexpected opportunities opened doors, and her achievements snowballed both on the road and the trail. She is the world record holder for 24hrs and was the 2006 world champion in 100km on the road. She is also five-time winner of The North Face Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, and in 2011 set a new record running from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu.

Downstream A History of Swimming the Thames

Caitlin Davies Weaving from the source in Gloucestershire 215 miles across to the North Sea, Downstream tells the story of those who have been drawn to its waters, from kings and famous poets, to Victorian endurance swimmers and modern day triathletes.

It was the Victorian era that saw the birth of organised river racing with the long distance amateur championship of Great Britain attracting competitors from all over the world. Swimming clubs for men and women were formed all along the river, and by the 1930s the Thames had become a seaside resort for families.

In 1957 the river was declared biologically dead and, by the 1970s, swimming in the Thames was seen as unusual and dangerous. But in the past decade the huge resurgence in ‘wild swimming’ means over 10,000 people now take part in organised Thames swimming events every year.

Londoner Caitlin Davies is a writer, teacher, journalist and fair-weather swimmer.

She is the author of non-fiction books, novels and short stories. Her non-fiction includes Taking the Waters and Camden Lock and the Market.

The History of Fly Fishing in Fifty Flies Ian Whitelaw From the many thousands of fly patterns developed over the centuries, these fifty have been chosen to represent the development not only of the flies themselves, but also the fly fishing techniques – and of rods, lines, and reels. These iconic flies also chart the spread of this addictive sport from its modern origins on the chalk streams of southern England and the rivers of Scotland to the US, Europe, South America and the Antipiodes, and now to every country in the world.

Once limited to trout and salmon, fly-fishing techniques today are used to catch every fish species from minnows to marlin, in rivers, lakes and oceans from the Amazon to the Arctic. Filled with profiles of the key characters, tying tips, photographs and illustrations of the flies, and detailed explanations of the techniques used to fish them, This book charts the growth and diversification of a fascinating sport.

Mark Baldwin

Mark Baldwin is the long-serving cricket correspondent for The Times and chairman-elect of the Cricket Writers Club.

Lord’s is a wondrous sports ground, a theatre of life, an administrative powerhouse, a private club, a magnet for overseas tourists in both winter and summer, a meeting place for friends, and a place of beauty and serenity in one of the world’s biggest cities.

It also has more than its fair share of secrets, and surprises. Long-time cricket correspondent for The Times Mark Baldwin goes behind the scenes of the most famous sporting ground in the world.

Fully illustrated by Graham Morris, a veteran of the Lord’s scene, The Secret Life of Lord’s will bring to life the hidden world of the ground, the machinations of those who run and look after the turf.

Sir Curtly Ambrose The Autobiography

Curtly Ambrose & Richard Sydenham One of the leading – and most lethal - fast bowlers of all time, Curtly Ambrose played 98 Tests and 176 One Day Internationals for the West Indies, and for much of his career topped the ICC player rankings. Part of the iconic West Indian teams of the late 1980s whilst also bearing witness to their decline in the 1990s, he was a formidable sportsman, and has a unique insight into the extreme highs and debilitating lows of the international game.

But during his career Curtly Ambrose was notorious for his silence. He rarely spoke to the media and, if he did, it was usually to rebuff an interview request with the famous words ‘Curtly talks to no one!’

In his autobiography, Curtly tells the story of his life with the West Indies team for the very first time. From his colourful upbringing in Antigua, through to the turbulent politics of both nation and dressing room, this book is a fascinating insight into the career of an iconic sportsman.

Curtly discusses his relationship with his teammates and competitors, and talks in depth about key moments in his career, including his extraordinary spell against Australia in 1992, taking 7-1. Curtly’s story also explores some of the most fascinating social and political aspects of the modern game. From the culture of West Indian cricket to experiencing post-Apartheid cricket in South Africa, as well as touching on his relationship with cricket mogul and notorious financier Allen Stanford, the book speaks to fans of works such as C.L.R. James’s Beyond a Boundary, as well as fans of cricket and sports biography.

Hero and Hellion The Story of the Game That Changed the Sport Forever

Pete Bodo Early in July of 2015 tennis will celebrate the 40th anniversary of what might be the greatest upset in the annals of tennis.

There have been other key matches in which the disparity between the favourite and the victorious underdog may have been more pronounced by standards of the sport. But none has been more resonant, or flush with meaning and contrasts. For this was not just a contest between a mercurial, seemingly unstoppable prodigy and an undemonstrative veteran, it also embodied a clash of values in a rapidly changing world, and in the sport itself.

This is the story of one match – the Wimbledon final of 1975 between Arthur Ashe and Jimmy Connors, which Ashe won to become the first black male winner of Wimbledon. However, like the best sports books written, this is much more than a just a story about one match, but a metaphor for a changing world, the end of an era and a last triumph for the passing guard.

Pete Bodo is one of the pre-eminent journalists writing on tennis today and knew Ashe and Connors. He is also the acclaimed author, with Pete Sampras, of A Champion’s Mind (Aurum).

Freak Out the Squares Russell Senior

Russell Senior was the lead guitarist and violinist of BritPop band Pulp and co-wrote the seminal anthem of the 1990s: ‘Common People’.

Russell Senior was Jarvis Cocker’s partner-in-crime in Pulp, and the most stylish man in Britpop – known in certain circles as the Imelda Marcos of sunglasses. Freak Out the Squares is Russell’s exceptionally witty, unusual and enlightening account of the heady times being a key member of Britpop’s best-loved and most enduringly relevant band.

The first account of life in Pulp, it takes as its starting point the band’s reunion tour in 2011, which culminated in a triumphant Glastonbury performance. It’s packed with good stories about Britpop luminaries, including Jarvis, of course, and digs back into Pulp’s origins in Sheffield and to their glory days at the height of Britpop.

Russell Senior is a man too smart to have ever been a pop star. And Pulp were too odd a band ever to have become so big. But we can only be grateful that he was, and they did – and that Freak Out the Squares tells the story in Russell’s inimitable, entertaining and fascinating way.

Dunkirk From Disaster to Deliverance – Testimonies of the Last Survivors

Sinclair McKay 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 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.

The Summer of ’45 Stories and Voices from VE Day to VJ Day

Kevin Telfer An oral and social history charting the end of the Second World War, and the slow ‘outbreak of peace’ between 8th May and 2nd September 1945.

Beginning with the signing of the German surrender to the Western Allies in Reims on 7th May, this ‘people’s history’ gathers voices from all levels of society and from all corners of the globe to explore four months that were to dictate the order of the world for decades to come.

Combining archive sources and original interviews with living witnesses, The Summer of ‘45 considers the lingering trauma of the war and the new challenges brought by peacetime in a style reminiscent of books such as The Great Silence: 1918-1920, Living in the Shadow of the Great War and Savage Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of World War II.

First Lady: The Private Wars of Clementine Churchill Sonia Purnell Without Winston Churchill’s inspiring leadership Britain could not have survived its darkest hour and repelled the Nazi menace. Without his wife Clementine, however, he might never have become Prime Minister.

By his own admission, the Second World War would have been ‘impossible without her’.

Clementine was Winston’s emotional rock and his most trusted confidante; not only was she involved in some of the most crucial decisions of war, but she exerted an influence over her husband and the Government that would appear scandalous to modern eyes.

That Clementine should become Britain’s ‘First Lady’ was by no means pre-ordained. Born into impecunious aristocracy, her childhood was far from gilded. Her mother was a serial adulteress and gambler, who spent many years uprooting her children to escape the clutches of their erstwhile father, and by the time Clementine entered polite society she had become the target of cruel snobbery and rumours about her parentage.

In Winston, however, she discovered a partner as emotionally insecure as herself, and in his career she found her mission.

Now, acclaimed biographer Sonia Purnell explores the peculiar dynamics of this fascinating union. From the personal and political upheavals of the Great War, through the Churchills’ ‘wilderness years’ in the 1930s, to Clementine’s desperate efforts to preserve her husband’s health during the struggle against Hitler, Sonia Purnell presents the inspiring but often ignored story of one of the most important women in modern history.

Sonia Purnell is a biographer and journalist known for her investigative skills and lively writing style. She started work at the Economist Intelligence Unit, edited a weekly financial magazine when only twenty-five, and then went on to a senior position on the Daily Telegraph’s City pages.

Her first book, Just Boris: A Tale of Blond Ambition, was a candid and widely acclaimed portrait of London Mayor Boris Johnson, informed by her time working alongside him in Europe in the 1990s.

UFOs: The History of a Modern Myth David Clarke

Throughout recorded history people have observed phenomena in the skies they have been unable to identify.

Aerial visions have been interpreted in a wide variety of religious and supernatural contexts. During the Middle Ages natural wonders such as comets, the aurorae and eclipses of the sun and moon were regarded with awe and terror. During the late 19th and early 20th century, observations of aerial phenomena were often interpreted as advanced airships and heavier-than-air flying machines, produced and flown by foreign powers and “secret inventors”. These interpretations reflect fictional depictions of future aerial warfare featured in the novels of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells that were widely disseminated in contemporary newspapers and magazine Neither a credulous work of conspiracy theory nor a sceptical debunking of belief in ‘flying saucers’, UFOs: The History of a Modern Myth explores the origins of UFOs in the build-up to the First World War and how reports of them have changed in tandem with world events, science and culture. The book will also explore the overlaps between UFO belief and religion and superstition.

Wish You Were Here The Golden Age of the British Seaside

Sarah Freeman Through the stories of the most popular destinations – from Brighton to Blackpool – Wish You Were Here steps back in time to relive the heyday of the Great British seaside.

What it discovers is a cultural and architectural golden age. A time when the grand hotels, ballrooms, holiday camps, piers and amusements thronged with visitors.

An era when the variety acts who packed out the theatres and music halls were among the most famous in the land. And a world in which the beach meant fish and chips, donkey rides and bathing suits, not palm trees, bikinis and exotic sands.

Combining stunning archive photography with memories from people who worked or holidayed at these resorts, Wish You Were Here celebrates a forgotten time and place in British life, and offers a lament for the magical beachfronts that have since fallen into decay, or been wiped away by developers.

Sarah Freeman is features editor of the Yorkshire Post newspaper. Born and brought up in Leeds, she spent much of her childhood in a cagoule eating egg sandwiches on a beach in Scarborough.

Kings of the Road Robert Dineen Amateur cycling in the UK has never been so popular and the interest is ever growing. In the wake of Bradley Wiggins’ success in the 2012 Tour de France, sportives (non-competitive cycling events) attracted more than 75,000 entrants while competitive events doubled that figure.

In Kings of the Road, Robert Dineen explores this cultural shift through his own attempt on the most iconic sportive of all, the Étape du Tour.

Regarded as the pinnacle of amateur cycling, the Étape follows the route of the torturous stage 18 of the 2014 Tour de France – Pau to Hautacam, taking in the killer climb of the Col du Tourmalet.

This personal challenge will be offset against the backdrop of the sport’s history, professional and amateur, by dramatizing its defining moments over the past 150 years and profiling its most compelling and influential personalities.

Peter Cossins It has been called the ‘Hollywood’ of the Tour de France, and there is no doubt that Alpe d’Huez has played a starring role in cycling’s history since its first encounter with the sport back in 1952. In this book, we will reveal the details behind the great exploits on the Alpe as well as untold details about the action that has taken place on its famous ramps, using an account of the 1978 stage on the mountain as the central focus of the work. That stage was particularly significant as it showcased for the first time in colour for television, the way in which Alpe d’Huez so quickly captured the imagination of cycling fans.

Hundreds of thousands packed the Alpe’s famous twentyone hairpin bends. If you win on the Alpe, they name a hairpin after you. You’re immortal!

With a Who’s Who of cyling legends interviewed: Chris Froome, Stephen Roche, Andy Hampsten and the director of the Tour de France himself – Christian Prudhomme – this is an expert insight into cycling’s most famous mountain.

Gardens of Cornwall Katherine Lambert. Photography by Alex Ramsay Cornish gardens have it all: dramatic natural settings in coast or combe, a wet and mild climate yielding exotic and extravagant plant growth, an indefinable quality of foreignness.

Antony has a magnificent early eighteenth-century house in an equally fine natural setting, Glendurgan is the repository of a plant-collecting dynasty who have lived there since the 1820s, while the beautifully restored Heligan retains all the charm of its Victorian heyday. Caerhays boasts an unrivalled collection of camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias. Contemporary gardens like the vertiginous jungle encasing Lamorran House, Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture garden and the ambitious landscape taking shape at Tremenheere, not to mention the world-famous Eden Project, are proof positive that Cornish gardens continue to be both generic and unique. Above all, as backdrop to these spectacular places, there is the sea.

Katherine Lambert is a distinguished and prolific garden writer and editor. She has worked on the Good Gardens Guide since 1996 and has edited and written a number of books. Alex Ramsay’s work has appeared in leading magazines worldwide and illustrates many books.

Making a Wildflower Meadow Pam Lewis A wildflower meadow not only has a powerful charm but it also plays a vital role in the survival of much of our plant and animal life.

The Irish Garden Jane Powers & Jonathan Hession Visitors to Ireland are often surprised at the ‘palm trees’ that make so many gardens look as if they belong in a holiday postcard. How can such exotics survive on an island that is as far north as the prairies of Canada and the pine forests of Siberia? The answer lies in the tail of the Gulf Stream - the North Atlantic Drift - which wraps around this green land on the western edge of Europe.

Its warm and watery embrace bestows the renowned ‘soft’ climate that allows those palm trees (in fact, New Zealand cordylines) to make their homes here - along with tree ferns from Australia and bananas from Japan. Plants from colder regions, including rhododendrons, primulas and all manner of alpines, are equally happy. So, with a range of plants that runs from the subtropical to the subarctic, and a landscape that varies from gently pastoral to savagely rugged, the aptly named Emerald Isle has some of the most romantic and interesting gardens in the world.

The Irish Garden visits over forty of Ireland’s most beautiful gardens, ranging from the grand old demesnes of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy to the intensely personal creations of passionate plantsmen and garden makers. The result of a lifetime visiting, considering and writing about gardens in Ireland, and several years of dedicated photography, this is a truly comprehensive exploration of a fascinating subject.

Jane Powers has been Gardening Correspondent of the Irish Times since 1997 and also writes for Irish Garden magazine, Garden Heaven, Gardens Illustrated, The Times, the Garden Design Journal and The Professional Gardener. She is inspector of Irish gardens for the Good Gardens Guide. Jonathan Hession has worked in the film business as a stills photographer on movie sets. He was eventually infected with the garden photography bug by his wife, Jane Powers.

First Ladies of Gardening Heidi Howcroft & Marianne Majerus First Ladies of Gardening is a beautiful exploration of the 14 most important lady gardeners of the last 100 years, tracing a line from Vita SackvilleWest, Rosemary Verey and Beth Chatto to the contemporary exemplars Gill Richardson, Rosanna James and Sue Whittington.

The United Kingdom is the universal measure of all things related to garden design. It is in the UK that the great garden designers live and work and where a major gardening movement has developed over the last few decades, influencing the entire world with its ideas and vision. This book introduces the ‘grandes dames’ of contemporary garden design and includes the great names of the garden world which have emerged since the 1940s, from Vita SackvilleWest to Beatrix Havergal. It also presents outstanding women gardeners of the present-day who have likewise had a substantial influence on the development of contemporary garden design.

Heidi Howcroft has discovered these women’s gardening secrets and writes sensitively and informatively about the individual women and their influence on the English country garden. This book highlights different aspects of some of the England’s great gardens and reveals their main features. The gardens are captured in photos by Marianne Majerus.

Bilingual Heidi Howcroft is a best-selling author of many gardening titles in Germany and has privileged access to the gardens and archives of the UK’s best female gardeners of the last 100 years.

Wainwright’s Walking Guide to the Lake District – Book 1: The Eastern Fells Alfred Wainwright. Revised by Clive Hutchby It is now sixty years since Alfred Wainwright published the first of the seven volumes that make up his Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, detailing the 214 principal hills and mountains of the Lake District. Totalling more than 2,100 pages of meticulously hand-drawn and hand-lettered pages, the Pictorial Guides represent a ‘love letter’ to a landscape that he had surveyed so definitively on foot and in ink.

While the grandeur and poetry of the fells is unchanged since Wainwright’s day, the pace at which small changes may be encountered on the ground has never been greater. Walls, gates, stiles and fences are constantly being built, re-sited or removed altogether. Many paths have been obliterated, and new ones imprinted by the feet of countless hikers. Today’s walkers need an up-tothe-minute guidebook to help them find the best routes to the summits, while avoiding potential hazards along the way.

These new Walker’s Editions of Wainwright’s Pictorial Guides have been comprehensively revised and are reissued – in a new, portable flexibound format – as practical and detailed guidebooks for visitors to the Lakeland fells. Every path, map, diagram and route description has been checked and corrected, with all the revisions being undertaken by Wainwright expert Clive Hutchby. The classic original editions will also remain in print.

The Eastern Fells, the first of the new guidebooks, covers the area north of Ambleside, between Ullswater and Thirlmere, and includes the ascents of Helvellyn, Catstycam and Great Dodd.

Born in Blackburn in 1907, Alfred Wainwright left school at the age of 13. A holiday at the age of 23 kindled a lifelong love affair with the Lake District. Following a move to Kendal in 1941 he began to devote every spare moment he had to researching and compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides. He died in 1991 at the age of 84.

Clive Hutchby is an award-winning international journalist and editor, and author of The Wainwright Companion.

100 Family Adventures Tim, Kerry, Amy & Ella Meek Childhood obesity is increasing year on year.

Happiness and well-being levels in children are on the decline too. Children spend less time outside and more time in front of screens (computers, phones, games, television).

100 Family Adventures provides parents with a valuable resource bank of tried and tested outdoor activities to enjoy with their children, swapping ‘screen time’ for ‘green time’.

Particularly inspiring for people who want to get started, but don’t know how, the book shows how any family, anywhere in the country, can enjoy time together outdoors.

Activities are grouped into themes: Woodland, Water, Close to Home, Hills and Mountains, Exploring, By the Sea, and Extreme Weather.

Within each section is a range in difficulty, from making a rope swing to scrambling up a stream, from spending a day without electricity to going on a charity bike ride, from exploring a rock pool to camping on an uninhabited island. Filled with inspiring photos, sensible but enthusiastic instructions from parents Tim and Kerry combine with remarks and advice (and jokes!) from children Amy and Ella.

‘The adventure ambassadors our current generation of cotton-wool kids urgently need’ Daily Telegraph

Tim and Kerry Meek, teachers from Nottingham, are just regular parents striving to bring up their two daughters, Amy (10) and Ella (8), as best they can. Their approach to parenting is one full of love and care, but one that is also deliberately punctuated with managed risk and age-appropriate challenge. They search out and seize opportunities to enjoy outdoor quality family time. The Meek family are currently taking a year out of formal education and are travelling round Britain in search of adventure.

Bath Kirsten Elliott. Photographs by Neill Menneer Bath, architectural jewel, World Heritage Site, vibrant modern city, owes its very existence to an accident of geology. Water that fell as rain thousands of years ago, plunging down near Earth’s molten centre, rises here in this Somerset valley as hot springs.

By the beginning of the eighteenth century Bath was the fashionable venue for high society.

Kirsten Elliott not only narrates Bath’s story through the centuries but also brings it up to date, celebrating the modern city as a vibrant place attracting visitors from all over the world. The book is illustrated with stunning photography by renowned photographer Neill Menneer.

Garden Plants for Scotland Kenneth Cox & Raoul Curtis-Machin Scotland is one of the best places in the world to garden. Its maritime climate, ample rainfall, and the rarity of severe droughts and really hot weather mean that huge numbers of plants thrive there. But the climate varies considerably – from the colder, wetter, windier mountainous areas to the west coast where tender plants can be grown all year round – and choosing plants that are suited to the local conditions is critical to success.

Kenneth Cox and Raoul Curtis-Machin have evaluated the performance of thousands of plants in gardens all over Scotland, drawing on the knowledge and experience of many gardeners and nurserymen, and describe the most reliable shrubs, conifers, trees, fruit and perennials for Scotland. In this book Scottish gardeners will find accurate information and hundreds of great plants ideally suited to where they live.

A nurseryman, Kenneth Cox is the author of numerous books, including The Encyclopedia of Rhododendron Hybrids and A Plantsman’s Guide to Rhododendrons.

Raoul Curtis-Machin is Head of Horticulture at the Horticultural Trades Association in Theale, Berkshire.

The Street of Wonderful Possibilities Whistler, Wilde and Sargent in Tite Street

Devon Cox A beautifully illustrated art history and cultural biography, The Street of Wonderful Possibilities focuses on one of the most influential artistic quarters in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – London’s Tite Street. It provides a new, fresh perspective on legendary figures in British art and literature and explores the relationship between these artists and their living environment.

For Oscar Wilde, Tite Street was full of ‘wonderful possibilities’, while for Whistler it was ‘the birthplace of art’, where the nascent Aesthetic Movement was nurtured in his highly controversial White House. From the studios and houses of Tite Street issued modern masterpieces in art such as Whistler’s Arrangement in Pink and Gray and Sargent’s Lady Agnew, and in literature with Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. But Tite Street had a dark side as well. Here Whistler was bankrupted, Frank Miles was sent to an asylum, Wilde was imprisoned, and Peter Warlock was gassed to death.

Throughout its turbulent existence, Tite Street mirrored the world around it. From the Aesthetic Movement to the Edwardian suffragettes, through the bombs of the Blitz in the 1940s to the bombs of the IRA in the 1970s, Tite Street remained a home to innumerable artists and writers, socialites and suffragettes, musicians and madmen.

Countless biographies have explored the major figures in Tite Street individually, but never in the context of their living and working environment.

The Street of Wonderful Possibilities unfolds this complex history, tying together the private and professional lives of Tite Street’s artists, writers and bohemians to form a colourful tapestry of art and intrigue, illuminating their relationships to each other, to Tite Street and to a rapidly modernising London at the fin de siècle.

Customize Your Crochet Adjust to Fit; Embellish to Taste

Margaret Hubert Designers have to create crochet patterns in standard sizes, but very few people’s bodies actually match up to those ‘average’ measurements.

But Customize Your Crochet goes beyond a basic, good fit to help the crocheter create a truly custom garment. With this book, you can add individual details and give your crocheted creations personal style.

Diagrams and illustrations are used throughout to explain body shapes and make comparing measurements simple.

Step-by-step photography shows the details for garment construction, specific increases, decreases and other shaping methods, as well as finishing techniques and embellishments.

Bitters and Shrub Syrup Cocktails Restorative Vintage Cocktails, Mocktails, and Elixers

Warren Bobrow So simple to create at home, Bitters and Shrub Syrup Cocktails will add incredible health benefits to any beverage.

Historically, cocktail bitters, drinking vinegars, and even infused syrups were originally used for curing sickness with high concentrations of beneficial (healing) herbs and flowers. The slight alcohol base of bitters kept the oftenfragile ingredients from rotting in the age before refrigeration. Bitters in the modern cocktail bar are embraced as concentrated flavour agents, although they are still used in holistic healing by herbalists. Shrubs add both tart and sweet notes to a craft cocktail or mocktail. They sate hunger and quench any thirst, while stimulating digestion and good health of the gut.

The Cocktail Whisperer, Warren Bobrow, has been using bitters and shrubs in his quest for added zest in many of his craft cocktails, adding depth and mystery to a generic mixed drink.

Bitters and Shrub Syrup Cocktails contains 75 traditional and newly-created recipes for medicinally-themed drinks. Learn the fascinating history of apothecary bitters, healing herbs, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and vinegars that are making a comeback in cocktail and non-alcoholic recipes.

Warren Bobrow, author of Apothecary Cocktails and Whiskey Cocktails, and over three hundred articles on food, wine and cocktail mixology, is hugely knowledgeable in the world of cocktails.

In addition to his popular blog, The Cocktail Whisperer, he writes for the Williams-Sonoma blog, Foodista. com, Voda magazine, Saveur, Serious Eats, The Beverage Journal and Beverage News. www.cocktailwhisperer.com

Astrological Transits guides you through the best ways to make the most of your birth chart. Learn how to make the most of good transits and harness and transform the energy of ‘bad’ ones. You’ll also understand planetary cycles and anticipate your own transits. Finally, you’ll know how to read planetary return charts and use eclipses to recognize major patterns and turning points in your life.

Lamborghini Supercars 50 Years From the Groundbreaking Miura to Today’s Hypercars

James Mann & Stuart Codling Nearly 50 years ago, upstart high-end sports car manufacturer Lamborghini set the performance car world on its ear with its stunning supercar, the Miura. In 1974, Lamborghini did it again with the Countach.

The Diablo replaced the Countach in 1990. Audi acquired the company in 1997 and the hits kept on coming: the Muriélago in 2001, the Gallardo in 2003, the Reventón in 2008, the Aventador in 2011, and, most recently, the appropriately named Huracán.

Every one is an ultimate car. Many were collector vehicles from the moment they rolled off the production line. Beneath their stunning bodywork lie chassis and powerplants bristling with the best technology of their respective eras. Their prices are equally staggering.

Lamborghini Supercars 50 Years is devoted exclusively to all of Lamborghini’s ultimate performance cars.

Original Vago The Birth of the Vagos MC

Frank ‘Lucky’ Mena & Cary Brobeck There are three sides to every story: my side, your side, and the truth.

This story comes directly from the mouth of Frank ‘Lucky’ Mena, the sole surviving original member of the Vagos MC. In 1966, 13 friends started a motorcycle club in San Bernardino.

Many names were kicked around before the 13 agreed on Vagos MC. ‘Vago’ is a Chicano slang term for ‘vagrant.’ On May 18th, the Vagos MC was born.

The patch then had to be determined. Lucky was browsing through a copy of Life magazine and came across a picture of a devil surrounded by smoke that read ‘return from hell.’ The image and green on green colours were voted in unanimously. Moose drew up the logo, the felt patches were made, and there was no turning back.

Frank ‘Lucky’ Mena is a true legend in the motorcycle club world and original member of the Vagos MC. Cary Brobeck is a writer, photographer, father, and of course, an avid motorcyclist. He is the editor of Wrench magazine.

The Art of Making Gelato 50 Flavors to Make at Home

Morgan Morano Forget ice cream. Create unique flavours, and indulge in fabulous recipes and luxurious desserts that you can make at home with The Art of Making Gelato. Discover where this delicious frozen dessert originated, and the techniques and tools that you need to make this delicious treat at home.

Gelato is churned more slowly and frozen at a slightly warmer temperature. The slow churning incorporates less air, so the gelato is denser and the higher freezing temperature means that the gelato stays silkier and softer. Dairy-free and egg-free, sorbets are made from fruit juice or flavored water and simple syrup. Join Morgan Morano as she shares 50 recipes for gelato and sorbetto.

Enjoy traditional chocolate, vanilla and strawberry to Torta della Mimosa, Bombolone, Biscoff, and Aceero – even Avocado gelato!

Morgan Morano is a professional chef and gelato expert. In 2010, she established Morano Gelato after living in Italy for six years. Noticing the lack of authentic gelato shops with Italian flavors in America, she re-established the tradition of gelatomaking in America.

The Truth About Tesla The Myth of the Lone Genius in the History of Innovation

Christopher Cooper Get ready for a shocking account of one of the world’s most notable inventors…

Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest electrical inventors who ever lived. For years, history relegated the Serbian-born engineering genius to relative obscurity, his contributions to society concealed by a number of nineteenth-century inventors and industrialists who took credit for Tesla’s ideas or stole his patents outright.

Recently, the historical record has been ‘corrected’ to the point where esteem for Tesla now surpasses many of the historical luminaries like Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Guglielmo Marconi, who are charged with having stolen Tesla’s ideas.

A majority of existing literature repeats the familiar account of Tesla’s life, including his invention of alternating current power, his falling out with Edison (and the resulting ‘War of the Currents’), how he lost billions in patent royalties to Westinghouse, and how he had to fight a decades-long court battle to prove that Marconi stole 13 of his patents while ‘inventing’ the radio.

But newly uncovered information is proving that this popular account of Nikola Tesla’s life is itself very flawed. In The Truth About Tesla, Christopher Cooper, author of Our Sun, sets out to prove that the conventional story not only oversimplifies history, it denies credit to the true inventors behind many of the groundbreaking technologies now attributed to Tesla.

Christopher Cooper is an expert in energy policy and is a Senior Research Fellow at Vermont Law School’s Institute for Energy & the Environment.

He has written extensively on solar power and the effects of solar activity on electrical systems, including designing a comprehensive plan to protect the North American electricity grid from impending solar storms. His work is published widely in academic journals and trade press from Energy Policy to The Electricity Journal.

Bob Dylan The Illustrated Discography

Jon Bream Bob Dylan, beginning with his solo folk releases and role as a reluctant protest culture figurehead in the early 1960s, continuing through his controversial ‘electrification,’ his work with the Band, his divisive ‘Christian’ period, his struggle for artistic identity throughout most of the 1980s, and his return to critical success in 1997, has always accommodated his own muse, critics be damned.

And it is a large cast of those damned critics, as recruited by author Jon Bream, who help dissect Dylan’s legendary studio catalog. The book gives analyses of all 35 studio releases in chronological order and illustrated with LP art, photography, 7-inch picture sleeves from around the world, and other memorabilia, as well as performance and candid photography.

Speed Brewing Make Fast Beers, Ciders, Meads, and More

Mary Izett In Speed Brewing, Mary Izett solves the modern homebrewer’s problem: Time is often as precious as the beverages you make! By managing Alcohol By Volume (ABV), batch size, and best practices, anyone can make great-tasting libations quickly. For example, five gallons of a big, heavy Russian Imperial Stout can take up to three months to create. Three gallons of a British Bitter can be ready to taste in about a week! For meads and ciders, the creative use of fruit and lower ABVs speeds up brewing. Instead of making honey wine or apple champagne, choose honey beer and sessionable cider! Alternative yeasts and organisms such as SCOBIE (from the kombucha world) are thoroughly explored as well.

Speed Brewing is the perfect guide for beginners and anyone who wants to add something new and fast to brew to their repertoire!

Mary Izett is a writer, beer judge and the current president of the New York City Homebrewers’ Guild and President Emeritus of the Malted Barley Appreciation Society.

Bees An Up-Close Look at Pollinators Around the World

Sam Droege If a bee flies near you, or if it lands on your arm, you might not take time to appreciate the insect’s fascinating beauty.

But you’re missing out! Bees are stunning to observe up close. Aliens or robots might come to mind when you gaze into a blue face with two giant, shiny black eyes. (That’s right, bees can be blue, green, and red, too). In Bees, the photography of Sam Droege and the USGS presents more than 100 of the most eye-catching varieties of bees found throughout the world. While bee nerds may appreciate the common honey bee or the rare Andrena violae, others can simply enjoy the wide selection of different body shapes, head configurations, unique antennae, and the stories that accompany them.

The next time a bee joins your picnic, you might find yourself staring!

The Fender Telecaster The Life & Times of the Electric Guitar That Changed the World

Dave Hunter, Wilko Johnson & Redd Volkaert The Fender Telecaster is a workingclass hero and the ultimate blue-collar guitar. It wasn’t meant to be elegant, pretty, or sophisticated. Designed to be a utilitarian musical instrument, it has lived up to that destiny.

Now available in paperback, this is the complete tale of the electric guitar that, over 50 years after its birth, is still resonating with the purity of the first slab of swamp ash that was carved into that now-iconic single-cutaway design.

Packed with more than 400 photos of players, guitars, and memorabilia, as well as profiles of the greatest Telecaster players ever, here, finally, is the first suitable tribute to the electric guitar that changed the world.

Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex Owen Chase Owen Chase was the first mate on the ill-fated American whaling ship Essex, which was attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in the southern Pacific Ocean in 1820. The crew spent months at sea in leaking boats and endured the blazing sun, attacks by killer whales, and lack of food. The men were forced to resort to cannibalism before the final eight survivors were rescued. Herman Melville based his 1851 novel, Moby-Dick, on the sinking.

Chase recorded the tale of the ship’s sinking and the following events with harrowing clarity in the Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex.

Filled with art, photographs, maps, and artifacts, this is a richly illustrated edition of Chase’s memoir, augmented with memoirs of other participants, as well as the perspectives of historians, contemporary and modern.

Owen Chase was first mate of the Essex, which was struck and sunk by a sperm whale on November 20, 1820. This book, published in 1821, inspired Herman Melville to write Moby-Dick.

During this golden age of flying, propellers gave way to jet engines, and the ‘Greatest Generation’ fought gallantly in them. Explore the history, thrills, and joy of flying the world’s most amazing 365 aircraft.

Robert F. Dorr is an air force veteran and a retired senior Foreign Service officer.

He is the author of 70 books including Mission to Berlin, Mission to Tokyo, Hell Hawks!, Fighting Hitler’s Jets, and Air Force One (all with Zenith Press).

Hidden Warships Finding World War II’s Abandoned, Sunk, and Preserved Warships

Nicholas A. Veronico World War II produced many epic naval battles and technologies. The many resulting shipwrecks from it unintentionally created a record of a new warfighting technologies.

With over 200 illustrations, Hidden Warships details the combat, recovery, and preservation of combat ships from World War II, from the Japanese midget submarine attacks on Pearl Harbor to the sinking of the postwar aircraft carrier USS Oriskany.

Hidden Warships explores combat ships as well as submarines once lost in action, the ships of the extensive postwar ‘mothball’ fleets, and many others. For the reader who wants an even more complete experience, the book concludes with a list of preserved World War II ships, an Internet resource guide, and bibliography and suggested reading list for the enthusiast to continue the exploration.

Nicholas A. Veronico has written extensively on US naval operations in World War II on the sea and in the air. He is the author of a number of books for Zenith Press including Hidden Warbirds and Hidden Warbirds II.

Steel From Mine to Mill, the Metal That MADE America

Brooke C. Stoddard Steel is the metal that shaped modern civilization. Improperly understood until about 150 years ago and available until then only in small quantities, steel is a delicate dance of iron crystals interspersed with carbon and – depending on intended service – other elements such as nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Once the formula was perfected, steel was used to build railroads, ships, skyscrapers, and bridges, in the process raising Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union to world economic dominance.

Noted author Brooke C. Stoddard travelled to the Mesabi Iron Range open-pit iron mines, rode with iron ore from Duluth, Minnesota, to Cleveland, Ohio, climbed to the top of the northern hemisphere’s largest blast furnace, interviewed modern-day steel workers, and walked the immense rolling mills where steel is pressed into finished products. Follow his journey from pre-history through the Industrial Revolution and into the present age.
