The Korean peninsula has had a troubled history but nothing quite compares with the tragedy of its Americaninspired division in the twentieth century; or the war that inexorably followed; or the permanent conflict that has ensued. It is not simply that so many millions of people died or that so many families have been torn apart. It is that a festering and unresolved geopolitical sore has been created; one that has made matters worse; one that has exposed the peninsula to competing political interests, contributed to social dysfunction and disadvantage and made Northeast Asia more dangerous. China, Russia and South Korea have understandable interests in the stability of the peninsula by reason of their adjoining borders. Japan has a legitimate interest by reason of its proximity and its historical antipathy toward Korea. The United States – the original proponent of the division – has neither borders nor proximity. Its underlying interest is in the maintenance of its regional interests in the Asia-Pacific and in pushing back against the rise of China. Michael Pembroke's timely book tells the story of the Korean peninsula with compassion for the people of the North and South, understanding and insight for the role of China and concern about the past and present role of the United States.

Author Details Michael Pembroke is a writer, historian, naturalist and the author of the acclaimed historical biography Arthur Phillip – Sailor, Mercenary, Governor, Spy (2013), which was short-listed for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards and runner-up in the National Maritime Museum history award. He was educated at the Universities of Sydney and Cambridge, is the son and the father of army officers, and has lived and travelled extensively throughout the world, including in East Asia. His father, an infantry platoon commander during the Korean War, was awarded the Military Cross for his role in a battle described as 'one of the finest battalion attacks in British history'. The research for this book has taken Pembroke to Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang, Washington DC, Princeton and Cambridge. In 2016, he travelled through North Korea from the Yalu River to the Demilitarised Zone. He has been a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales since 2010.

‘At long last, a finely written biography of the astonishing egalitarian who became Australia’s founding father. There are gripping descriptions of his amazing sea voyages and moving accounts of the humanity he brought to the government of a penal colony that only he thought would ever become a nation. The book shows the moral vision of a man who gave history its best example of the possibility of the Reformation of the human spirit.’

Luke Nguyen is a renowned Vietnamese-Australian chef, best known for his television series Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam, Luke Nguyen’s Greater Mekong and more recently Luke Nguyen’s France. Born in a Thai refugee camp after his parents escaped their homeland in Vietnam, Luke’s family made their way to Australia where Luke was raised in Cabramatta. His parents opened and ran a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Cay Du and it was this familial passion for food that first ignited Luke’s interest in Vietnamese cooking. After learning the basics from his parents, Luke trained with a number of respected chefs before opening The Red Lantern restaurant. Since then, The Red Lantern has become one of Sydney’s most acclaimed Vietnamese restaurants. Luke has written six cookbooks: Secrets of the Red Lantern, Songs of Sapa, Indochine, Greater Mekong and The Food of Vietnam and Luke Nguyen's France. He now bases himself in Ho Chi Minh City, where he runs the city's only professional cooking studio, Grain by Luke, described by him as "a kind of speakeasy cooking school".

Elizabeth's Rival The tumultuous tale of Lettice Knollys, Countess of Leicester Nicola Tallis The first biography of Lettice Knollys, one of the most prominent women of the Elizabethan era. Cousin to Elizabeth I (although it's likely that they were far closer than that) and grandniece to Anne Boleyn, Lettice Knollys was destined to be a prominent figure at court. But her life would be one of dizzying highs and pitiful lows – caught in a love triangle with Robert Dudley and Elizabeth I, banished from court, embroiled in treason, losing a husband to the executioner's axe and further husbands and children to war and sickness. At different times Countess of Essex and Countess of Leicester, Lettice lived from the reign of Henry VIII through to Charles I, her story offering an extraordinary and intimate perspective on the history of the period.

Author Details Nicola Tallis is a historian and researcher. She has previously lectured at the University of Winchester and worked with Historic Royal Palaces and the National Trust, as well as at Sudeley Castle, where Lady Jane Grey lived for a time, alongside Katherine Parr. As a researcher, Nicola has worked with many great writers, including Alison Weir and Sir Ranulph Fiennes. Publication

Introductory content includes suggestions for materials that can be used as a board; how to mix textures, flavours, or come up with a theme; assembling, arranging, and portioning (for 2 to 100 people). Every board will be photographed, and many of the recipes will be photographed for hero shots. Each board recipe includes a drink pairing and a meat pairing (Shelly is a vegetarian, Wyatt is her boyfriend who eats meat).

Award-winning cocktail-maker and gardener Lottie Muir brings you another selection of wonderfully wild and flavourful concoctions from her pop-up bar, The Midnight Apothecary. For this new repertoire of drinks, Lottie set herself a threefold challenge: to achieve the same amount of pleasure and balance that refined sugar provides in the taste and mouth-feel of a cocktail, to create new aromatic and bitter-forward drinks, and to make delicious new mocktails for those who want to consume no or less alcohol. Lottie has uncovered what’s a fad and what’s here to stay as a healthy alternative to sugar and has successfully created drinks that require less sweetness and no refined sugar.

At the beginning of the book, tea expert Timothy d’Offay starts with the very basics with a section on water and tea tools to make brewing easier, like the hoop jug that helps you get the water temperature right for your green tea in an instant and with minimal fuss. Then, as well as traditional ways of making tea, he explores new brewing methods such as Flow Brew, which involves brewing one tea through another to create an infusion, and Ambient Tea, a way of making tea pair better with food. There is a Cold Brew chapter as well as one for delicious sparkling teas, called Kitchen Colas, which you can make in the comfort of your own home with tea and a few other natural ingredients. Fresh Fruit Tea Quarters are another new innovation, combining tea and fresh fruit juice to create a refreshing soft drink. One of most exciting recent developments in tea is the worldwide popularity of matcha both as a beverage and as an ingredient liberating it from the refined world of the tea ceremony. In Easy Leaf Tea there will be recipes to make the most of matcha and the other stoneground teas now available so you can learn to make tasty Somersault drinks – frappes, milk shakes and ice creams. So turn on your kettle, tune into tea culture and drop those tasteless tea bags for some of the best leaf tea experiences you can have.

Author Details Timothy d’Offay became fascinated by tea culture and tea growing while living in Japan’s ancient capital Kyoto, over 20 years ago. Using Japan as a base, he soon started to explore the tea traditions of Taiwan, Korea, and Hong Kong as well. These experiences led him to start importing tea in the late 1990s from the people and places he had visited and in 2000 he co-founded East Teas at Borough Market in London with the tea expert Alex Fraser. In 2008 he set up Postcard Teas, a high-end tea importing business with a shop in London's exclusive Mayfair. His work involves travelling extensively across Asia to many of the famous tea producing areas in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and China to source the world's finest tea leaves to import.

In an electrifying moment in 1585, four Japanese youths appeared before Pope Gregory XIII, summoned to his court from the nascent Christian community in Japan to present themselves at the capital of their faith. Legendary photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto follows in the boys' footsteps, capturing the architectural wonders of Rome, Florence, and Venice as the Eastern visitors might have seen them on their grand tour. Sugimoto's images present each chapel and theatre as a marvel, imposing and dark. He contextualises his photographs with Japanese works from the period and the decades that follow. These panels and objects attest to the impact of Western culture, specifically Jesuit Christianity, on Momoyama and Edo aesthetics as Japanese artists envisioned scenes of European life.

Key Information •

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Never-before-seen portfolio of the famed photographer's work. Sugimoto is closely followed internationally as well as in his native Japan, where this body of work will have particular resonance

Accidental Scientist The role of change and luck in scientific discovery Graeme Donald

Have you ever wondered how the ideas for some things come about? Surprisingly it is often as much down to chance as a single person's brilliance. The Accidental Scientist explores the role of chance and error in scientific, medical and commercial innovation, outlining exactly how some of the most well-known products, gadgets and useful gizmos came to be. Encompassing everything from DNA profiling to fingerprinting and TNT to the telephone, this book explores many of the discoveries that we are all so familiar with today, yet have the most interesting origins because of the story behind them. Not all discoveries require brilliance, and as The Accidental Scientist demonstrates, sometimes a special ingredient is needed: luck.

Forever or a Day Sarah Jacoby

In text that rolls out as elegantly as a poem and is as perfectly paced as a mystery, an unassuming narrator interrogates the elastic nature of time through a series of questions and comparisons, capturing both a parent's desire to freeze time and a child's desire to linger just a minute longer. Those seconds that count in catching the bus. The idyllic hours that slip by so quickly during a perfect day on the lake. The summer days that disappear into blissful happiness. Part Virginia Lee Burton, part Margaret Wise Brown, this book's musings on time are at once simple, peaceful, and profound-the work, clearly, of a truly genius picture bookmaker.

Cycle City Alison Farrell

Little Etta Elephant always loves visiting her aunt. Aunt Ellen lives in a very special place. Welcome to Cycle City! Tonight's the Starlight Parade, but the invitations haven't been sent out yet! Luckily, Mayor Snail is on the job. And maybe Etta can lend a hand? Detail-rich and thoroughly delightful, Cycle City takes readers on a seek-and-find tour of an irresistibly charming town, where everyone-from owls on bookmobiles to pigs on pedicabs-is on wheels!

Author Details Alison Farrell has a BA in Painting from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and an MSE in Art Education from the College of Saint Rose. Her favourite food group is sauerkraut, and she regularly rides a unicycle and bakfiets-style cargo bike. In other words, you won't be surprised to learn she lives in Portland, Oregon. This is her first book.

This book also acts as a lovely companion to Her Right Foot.

He also lives and works near the Golden Gate Bridge.

Key Information •

The sequel to Her Right Foot, a companion in bestselling author Dave Eggers's series about the monuments and meaning of America

•

Dave Eggers's name is big; he has never done picture books before, aside from the McSweeney's publication of this book – his name will open doors we can rarely access

•

This book is a companion to Her Right Foot; Dave Eggers will be creating a third book in the series, also about a monument, in 2018

•

There is really nothing else out there like this: lightly humorous nonfiction about one of the most major monuments in the USA

•

Most comparable titles about specific monuments are very dry and not aesthetically pleasing; there's a real need in the marketplace for someone to make monuments accessible, interesting, and cool

•

The appealing design of the series makes these books nice design pieces for those design-conscious parents, as well as adult consumers who are either fans of Dave's or are hip design-conscious buyers

A story to savour, a mystery to solve: Spy on History continues with another interactive book in the series, where young readers solve a mystery (using included spycraft materials) while learning about a fascinating moment in history: America's use of a "Ghost Army" to fool the enemies and protect our troops during World War II

•

Amazing but true WWII story: Meet Victor Dowd, a real-life American soldier who was part of the "Ghost Army," a US Army unit of special troops with a unique mission: to impersonate other army units in order to deceive the enemy. With inflatable tanks, fake radio transmissions, and more, Victor and the other soldiers successfully operated close to the front lines. The Ghost Army remained secret for decades after the end of the war; some elements of their story remain classified today. It was the subject of a PBS documentary in 2013, and is the subject of an upcoming feature film produced by Bradley Cooper. Legislation is underway to award the Ghost Army a Congressional Gold Medal
