SHADES OF BLUE The Life of a Manchester City Legend and the Story that Shook Football

NEW

DAVID WHITE WITH JOANNE LAKE David White’s prodigious footballing talent saw him light up the right wing at Manchester City, Leeds and Sheffield United for over a decade. But David’s performance on the pitch was frequently blighted by a lack of confidence and consistency, traits that baffled his fans and family. Only David knew the real reason behind his struggles: that, aged just eleven, he had been sexually abused by his football coach, Barry Bennell. • Shades of Blue tells the story of David’s extraordinary life: his passion for football, the drama of his games and his fight to outrun the shadow of that early abuse.

DAVID WHITE is a former professional footballer best remembered for his eight-year spell at Manchester City. JOANNE LAKE is the co-author of the Sunday Times bestseller and FourFourTwo’s Football Book of the Year I’m Not Really Here, as well as World Cup referee Howard Webb’s autobiography, The Man in the Middle.

One of the most respected leaders of modern times, Nelson Mandela inspired generations of politicians, thinkers and ordinary people throughout the world. Imprisoned in 1962, the legendary figure remained behind bars for twenty-seven years. After a global campaign secured his release in 1990, he forged a political career that would see the abolition of apartheid in South Africa as he became the country’s first black president. Following his presidency, he dedicated his life to tackling poverty and inequality and fostering racial reconciliation.

EINSTEIN

Pioneer of the world’s most famous equation, E=mc², and originator of the very look of the ‘mad’ scientist, Albert Einstein’s work transcended physics to change the way we view the universe. Without his revolutionary work in relativity and quantum physics, our knowledge of the cosmos at both the micro- and macro-levels might lag decades behind where it is today.

THIS ISN’T A STORY ABOUT AUTISM. IT’S A STORY ABOUT A YOUNG BOY WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE AUTISM, AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

One Man, One Autistic Boy, a Million Adventures

John Williams is a stand-up comedian. He is also a single father and fulltime carer for his son, who has autism and cerebral palsy. This is their incredible story. In 2012, John started a blog called My Son’s Not Rainman, a heartfelt and uplifting account of everyday life for him and ‘The Boy’. Following on from the blog’s amazing success, John felt there was still much more of their life, past and present, that he wanted to share. And not only of the challenges of bringing up a child who for too long was just dismissed as ‘difficult’, but also of the joy of living with someone who looks at the world in a unique way.

How Smiley Faces, Love Hearts and Thumbs Up are Changing the Way We Communicate PROFESSOR VYVYAN EVANS

NEW

Since 2011 the use of emoji has become a global phenomenon. We send over 6 billion emojis every day – but can an emoji really be a word? How language-like is it? Will Emoji make us dumber? Will it make us less adept at communicating? Calling on Professor Vyvyan Evans’s groundbreaking research, The Emoji Code explores these questions and more.

THE EMOJI CODE

• Lively and engaging – draws on findings from disciplines as diverse as linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, archaeology and anthropology • Will appeal to those interested in the nature and origins of language, human communication and how digital culture is changing how we interact with each other

An Exploration of the Hidden Messages of the Spectrum GAVIN EVANS Why is green the colour of envy? Why do we ‘feel blue’ or ‘see red’? Why is black often ‘evil’ and white ‘pure’ (definitions that are sometimes reversed, depending on what country you’re in)? Why do colours have a subtext at all, and why do they mean different things depending on your culture?

POPULAR SCIENCE AND MATHS

THE STORY OF COLOUR

• This book takes a global approach in uncovering the hidden social and cultural meanings behind the 12 most prevalent colours, asking why and how each one came to have the many and various implications they do today • Why we view a colour a particular way can go back hundreds or thousands of years. Blue was not always a boy’s colour; pink was not always a girl’s. Our grasp of colour can relate to the random way we define it – light blue is called ‘blue’, but over the last century light red has become ‘pink’ – does language play a part in our perception of colour? • With beautiful full-colour photos throughout, The Story of Colour reveals how we have come to view the world through lenses passed down to us by art, science, politics, fashion, sport and, not least, prejudice

GAVIN EVANS worked as a journalist for thirty-two years, writing for The New York Times, the Guardian and the Financial Times, among other publications, and now lectures in Cultural and Media Studies at Birbeck College. He has a PhD in political philosophy and is the author of six books. ISBN 9781782436904 Price £16.99

ANN E WARE H AM

Anne Wareham has compiled a brisk but comprehensive guide to recommended anti-pest stratagems, including ingenious tricks to keep squirrels from eating all the seed when the feeders fail and the best approach to squishing a lily beetle.

If you have ever waged war against the local squirrels to prevent them from ransacking your garden, you will know that they are wily beasts that can find loopholes in the most cunning of defences. Capable of remarkable feats of tightrope-walking and problem-solving, they are formidable enemies indeed – and that’s not to mention the many other pests that can torment the optimistic gardener, from slugs and snails to moles and deer, and from bugs and weevils to fungus and blight ...

INTRODUCTION Buster Books loves to create books for curious and creative children. Our 2017 list is brimming with titles to spark the imagination and encourage exploration, to satisfy the keenest of puzzle masters and, above all, to be enjoyed. Children can learn how beautiful maths can be in Hooray for Hexagons, or delve into the prehistoric world of dinosaurs and ancient beasts in Dinosauria and The Book of Prehistoric Beasts. They can get stuck into innovative sticker art with Animetrics and Sticker Studio, or take on Connectrix, a brand new type of puzzle challenge. In June, we publish a particularly timely title – My Little Book of Big Freedoms – a special collaboration with Amnesty International and illustrator Chris Riddell. We hope you enjoy our 2017 list. Dive in and have fun. www.busterbooks.co.uk

DRAWING AUTISM A wonderful celebration of the artistry and self-expression of individuals diagnosed with autism and a window into the world as they see it.

Over the last decade autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become an international topic of conversation, knowing no racial, ethnic or social barriers. Behaviour analyst Jill Mullin has assembled a staggering array of work, from established artists like Gregory L. Blackstock and Jessica Park to the unknown but no less talented. Their creations, coupled with artist interviews, comprise a fascinating and compelling book that will educate and inspire anyone who knows someone diagnosed with ASD. Mullin’s introduction and the foreword by bestselling author Temple Grandin provide an overview of autism and advocate for nurturing the talents, artistic and otherwise, of those with autism.

JILL MULLIN (MA, MSEd,

BCBA) is a New York City-based behaviour analyst who has been working with individuals with ASD since 2000.

Jill Mullin, a clinical therapist, explores the recurring themes in art made by people with autism.’ New York Times Book Review

‘A celebration of the artistry and self-expression found in artwork by people diagnosed with autism . . . Stunning.’ Atlantic ‘This book is a testament to the power of art to reveal the inner world of people living with ASD.’ Publishers Weekly £16.99

Drawing Autism celebrates the artistry and self-expression of individuals diagnosed with autism while also serving as an accessible point of entry into understanding how ASD manifests itself. Autism is known as a ‘spectrum disorder’ because no two diagnoses are exactly the same; however, there are characteristic traits of ASD. Through their art, the contributors exhibit unique perspectives on how they see the world and their places in it.
