English Whisky The journey from grain to glass
Ted Bruning and Rupert Wheeler
•The first book on the revival of English whisky.
•Foreword by Dan Szor, founder owner of Cotswolds Distillery and one of the founders of English whisky. The distillery receives around 30,000 visitors per year.
•Profiles on nearly 40 key distilleries in England.
•The English Whisky Guild was established in 2022 by 15 founding distilleries with an overarching vision for English whisky to be recognised globally as a respected choice for whisky drinkers. It now has 24 members.
•The winner in the WWA (World Whisky Awards) of the Worlds Best Single Malt 2024 was The English Distillery Sherry Cask.
•English whisky distilleries layed down 1.6 million litres in casks for 2022. It is forecasted that 50,000 casks will be maturing by 2024, with a value of £1 billion.
Where once Scotland dominated the world of whisky, that’s no longer the case. England is just one of many countries now challenging Scotland’s historic lead.
Until recently, England has been quiet as far as whisky production goes. Gin has been widely produced here for several centuries, especially after the accession of William of Orange and Mary in 1688, but whisky was hardly produced at all, and then at the turn of the millennium everything changed.
More and more distilleries here in England, both large commercial ones and micro-distilleries, are exploring new and exciting flavours, and being as experimental as they like. Distillers are free to play around with different grains, shapes of stills and flavour profiles and many of these distilleries are now becoming serious world-class operations, a far cry from the small craft distilleries of even 20 years ago.
This new book tells the exciting story of English whisky as it becomes established as a serious player on the world stage. Covering topics such as how the industry was kickstarted as recently as 20 years ago by the English Whisky Company, how rye is competing with barley as a grain of preference, the importance of sustainability, the use of peat and oak, and the huge increase in high-end tourism, with vast numbers of visitors enjoying learning about English whisky at distilleries up and down the country, from Cornwall to Cumbria. The book includes profiles of nearly 40 distilleries, with descriptions and tasting notes of key whiskies released so far.

A highly diverting celebration of television’s favourite naturalist, packed with games, trivia and Attenborough-inspired activities.
Attenborough. Just saying the name makes everyone feel better. Words like 'dependable', 'inspiring' and 'soothing' cascade like the rains returning to the sun-parched savanna. And according to a recent poll, he's the most trustworthy person alive, above Michelle Obama and The Queen.
As the saga of Boaty, McBoatface showed (the research ship was finally called RRS Sir David Attenborough), British people love silliness. And this book is a celebration of our two favourite things: Attenborough and silliness.

Ryan Herman is a journalist, author and editor. He started his career on local newspapers, which provided him with his first opportunity to write about weird and wonderful news, and he has gone on to work for a broad range of publications often focusing on human interest stories.
He is also the author of two books, Remarkable Football Grounds and Remarkable Rugby Grounds, which were both shortlisted for Best Illustrated Sports Book of the Year 2024.
Author and journalist Ryan Herman has selected the finest moments of serendipity, the astounding acts of kindness and generosity, the outrageous ideas come to life and the downright silly happenings and brought them together in this book.
The tales range from the drunken mice causing havoc but ultimately endearing themselves to the workers at a sherry distillery in Spain; the bride-to-be and huge Swiftie who invited Taylor Swift to her wedding and got the surprise of her lifetime when Taylor flew to Ohio to attend her bridal shower; the owner of a riding school for disabled children who raised tens of thousands of pounds after Lucian Freud popped into one of her amateur horse-sketching classes and left his drawing behind, and Stephanie, the child refugee who founded a female-run software company in 1960s Britain, who was routinely faced with sexism when selling her products. When she posed as ‘Steve’ when writing to software companies her business suddenly took off and when she later sold her business, she made 70 of her employees millionaires.
This is a feel-good book for dark times – packed with uplifting human interest stories, people (and a few animals) doing extraordinary things, idiosyncratic slices of life and simple fun tales. There is a quote in the book from filmmaker Ali Catterall that sums it up best of all. He says, “I think we need stories that shake us out of our complacency […] You can find magic in a dustbin. It depends where and how you look."

Transport
Mark Deakin, a conference centre manager and London Underground enthusiast, maintained anonymity as his social media account quietly gained a significant following since 2020. With a background in history, Mark has called London home for nearly two decades. In a Summer 2022 LondonWorld article, he finally unveiled his identity, expressing surprise at the popularity of his @londonundergroundknowledge account, which continues to grow.

•Success of Francis Bourgeois on TikTok has demonstrated an interest in trainspotting for Gen-Z
•@londonundergroundknowledge has 106k Instagram (January 2024)
•Potential for a series – Paris Metro and NYC subway
•Deakin has collaborated on social media partnerships with Chelsea Waterfront
Embark on a captivating historical tour of 70 of London's Underground stations through the lens of Mark Deakin, creator of the widely acclaimed @londonundergroundknowledge Instagram page.
This tour provides a compelling exploration of the city's unique transport system, blending remarkable photography with easily understandable information that makes a visually stunning journey.
Interest in the London Underground has long persisted among enthusiasts, historians, and architects alike. What sets this book apart is Deakin’s ability to seamlessly marry these interests. The patchwork nature of this curated collection not only breathes new life into a substantial history lesson but appeals to anyone intrigued by the rich history of these tunnels, making it accessible to both amateur enthusiasts and those with a more academic inclination.
Included are some quirkier facts of the lesser-known stations, which are often the truest to their original design as they have remained untouched. Readers will be familiar with some of the more well-known stations on the merit of their own personal stories rather than just architectural beauty.
Inevitably on a network of 272 stations, some fantastic stops are missing from this book, and in a lot of cases one of those will be ‘your’ station. Hopefully each of the 70 stations featured will have at least one titbit to raise interest – after all, that would be within Transport for London’s design mission, which states that ‘Each station must have at least one distinguishing feature, one special moment, which allows it to be memorable and engage with its immediate neighbourhood.’
From unravelling the stories behind station names to exploring the intricacies of secret passageways and the fascinating tales woven into seat cover fabrics, Going Underground revitalises the conventional historical narrative about what lies beneath our feet.

The Meaning Of Tango The Story of
the
Argentinian Dance
Christine Denniston
From the backstreets of Buenos Aires to Parisian high society, this is the extraordinary story of the dance that captivated the world – a tale of politics and passion, immigration and romance.
The Tango was the cornerstone of Argentine culture, and has lasted for more than a hundred years, popular today in America, Japan and Europe. 'The Meaning of Tango' traces the roots of this captivating dance, from it's birth in the poverty stricken Buenos Aires, the craze of the early 20th century, right up until it's revival today, thanks to shows such as Strictly Come Dancing. This book offers history, knowledge, teachings and in-sights which makes it valuable for beginners, yet its indepth analysis makes it essential for experienced dancers. It is an elegant and cohesive critique of the fascinating tale of the Tango, which not only documents its culture and politics, but is also technically useful.
