160pp, HB Approx. 150 images & 16 colour maps 20,000 words £20.00
As present-day political and military hostilities between Russia and the West threaten to escalate, The Cold War looks back at a global drama that positioned the world on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Published 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism in Europe that led to the end of the Cold War, it is a graphic account of a confrontation that encompassed moments of high tension, such as the Berlin Crisis of 1961, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the nuclear alerts of 1973 and 1983. Written by leading defence analyst, Dr Norman Friedman, The Cold War is a fully illustrated account of this period of crisis, subterfuge and power. Showing rare documents, such as a 1963 nuclear attack protection booklet produced for homeowners by the British government, and an official pack for US troops passing through Checkpoint Charlie, the reader can witness events as they unfolded. The result is a vivid account of a historical period that is echoed in today’s geopolitical climate. The Cold War is the perfect companion with which to examine the events of this tense period of history — events that resonate ever strongly in this modern era of paranoia and surveillance.
Dr Norman Friedman is an American defence analyst who has advised the US government on US-Soviet strategic competition and a variety of scenarios for Cold War conflict. He has written 29 books, including the award-winning The Fifty-Year War: Conflict and Strategy in the Cold War.

VINCENT VAN GOGH A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST’S LIFE AND WORK André Deutsch 978-0-23300-575-1 February 2019 283 x 245 mm

Vincent van Gogh was the troubled artistic genius, brought close to the brink of madness, who left one of the most startling artistic legacies of the late nineteenth century when, in 1890, he took his own life. Vincent van Gogh – a Portrait of the Artist’s Life and Work follows the path that led him from his early attempts to forge a career, via his initial foray into the world of art during which he produced his famous earthy portrayals of Dutch peasants, such as The Potato Eaters, to the inspiration of colour and new styles that he discovered in late 1880s Paris, to the sunlight of Provence with its fierce blues and yellows and his final days in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise. Gloriously illustrated with such classics as the radiant versions of his favourite sunflowers, Starry Night, La Berceuse and his many self-portraits, as well as lesser known items and inspirational works by his contemporaries, Vincent van Gogh also includes rare reproductions of personal documents and archival material, bringing the artist’s world and the true nature of his genius to life as never before.
Dr Cornelia Homburg is an art historian, curator and specialist on Van Gogh. She studied art history around the world, in Germany, the USA, and the Netherlands, receiving her MA from the University of Chicago and her PhD from the University of Amsterdam. Dr Homburg was previously Curator of the Washington University Gallery of Art in St. Louis, USA, and curator of nineteenth and twentieth century painting and sculpture at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

Area Mazes are the new puzzle craze created by the world-renowned Japanese puzzle expert Naoki Inaba. The easy-seeming questions require you to traverse a series of rectangles to find the missing length or area, but don’t be fooled - while the logic is simple, finding the answer can be far more challenging than it first appears. Whether a mathematics student or puzzle fanatic, these labyrinthine problems are perfect for everyone.
Graham Jones has been involved with puzzles for his entire professional career, as a creator, editor and checker. For seven years he was the managing editor at Puzzler Media, before retiring to become a freelance puzzle writer.
