WE LIVE IN challenging and uncertain times. Some people even doubt whether books will survive. We, as you might expect, disagree. If the writing is strong and the ideas are exciting, there is an extremely healthy future for books – in any format, print or digital. We believe these titles are once again proof of the richness books bring to our lives. They can show where we are headed, as in Ten Ideas to Change the World, based on the RSA’s online sensation, RSAnimates. Just as importantly they explain where we’ve come from: check out Simon Jenkins’ Short History of England. Above all they are an endless source of pleasure, as we can guarantee from two new (unseemly) stories from Alan Bennett, and from the twenty-two other titles you’ll find here. Happy reading.

SIMON JENKINS
A Short History of England The definitive concise account of our remarkable past
From the Battle of Catterick (AD 598) to the premiership of Tony Blair, one of Britain’s bestselling authors, Simon Jenkins, weaves together a strong narrative with all the most important and interesting dates in our history in a book that is as characteristically stylish as it is authoritative. There have been long synoptic histories of England but until now there has been no standard short work covering all significant events, themes and individuals. Published with the support of the National Trust, and beautifully illustrated, this magisterial history is a tour de force.
Simon Jenkins is the author of the bestselling England’s Thousand Best Churches and England’s Thousand Best Houses, the former editor of The Times and Evening Standard and a columnist for the Guardian. He is chairman of the National Trust.

ALAN BENNETT
Smut Two Unseemly Stories Unexpected tales from the master of short fiction The Greening of Mrs Donaldson Mrs Donaldson is a conventional middle-class woman beached on the shores of widowhood after a marriage that had been much like many others: happy to begin with, then satisfactory and finally dull. But when she decides to take in two lodgers (a young, penniless couple) passions that she never knew existed are aroused, and her mundane life becomes much more stimulating … The Shielding of Mrs Forbes Graham Forbes is a disappointment to his mother who thinks that if he must have a wife, he should have done better. And her own husband would be better if she were mourning him than living with him. But this is Alan Bennett, so no matter the importance of keeping up appearances, what happens in the bedroom (and in lots of other places too) is altogether more startling, perhaps shocking, and ultimately much more true to people’s predilections.
Alan Bennett is one of the UK’s most celebrated figures. He is the author of Untold Stories, and numerous works of fiction including The Uncommon Reader. His celebrated play The History Boys was the National Theatre’s most successful production ever.

Together with the brilliant A View From the Foothills and Decline and Fall, the complete trilogy covers the rise and fall of New Labour from start to finish. Witty, elegant and wickedly indiscreet, the Mullin diaries are widely reckoned to be the best account of the New Labour era. ‘Every once in a while,’ wrote David Cameron, ‘political diaries emerge that are so irreverent and insightful that they are destined to be handed out as leaving presents across Whitehall for years to come.’

FRANCESCA SIMON
The Sleeping Army The Norse myths as never, ever before
One of the bestselling children’s authors in the world launches an exciting new novel for children aged 8+. Freya is an ordinary girl living in modern Britain, but with a twist: people still worship the Viking gods. She’s caught in her parents’ divorce, and shuttling between bickering adults is no fun. One evening, stuck with her dad on his night shift at the British Museum, she is drawn to the Lewis Chessmen and Heimdall’s Horn. Unable to resist, she blows the horn, waking three chess pieces from their enchantment; the slaves Roskva, Alfi and Snot the Berserk. They are all summoned to Asgard, land of the Viking gods, and told they must go on a perilous journey to restore the gods to youth. If Freya refuses she will be turned into an ivory chess piece but, if she accepts her destiny and fails, the same terrible fate awaits her. Brilliantly funny, original and a wholly new take on the Norse myths – and the travails of contemporary family life. Published in conjunction with Faber & Faber.
Francesca Simon is universally known for the staggeringly popular Horrid Henry series. These books and audio have sold over 15 million copies in the UK alone and CITV have made a hugely popular cartoon series based on the nation’s favourite naughty boy.

JOHN SUTHERLAND
Lives Of The Novelists A History of Fiction in 282 Lives Ideal seasonal gift for bookworms This is the most complete history of fiction in English ever published. The world’s greatest authority – arguably the only person who could have written it – provides the lives of some 282 novelists writing in English, from the genre’s seventeenth-century origins to the present. Arranged in chronological order the lives are opinionated, informative, frequently funny and often shocking. Sutherland’s authors come from all over the world; their writings illustrate every kind of fiction from gothic, penny dreadfuls and pornography to fantasy, romance and high literature. The book shows the changing forms of the genre, and how the aspirations of authors to divert and sometimes to educate their readers has in some respects radically changed over the centuries, and in others – such as their interest in sex and relationships – remained remarkably constant.
John Sutherland is emeritus Lord Northcliffe professor of English literature at University College London. Twice on the Booker committee, in 2005 as chairman, he is a regular columnist and critic on radio and television. His books include the moving chronicle Last Drink to LA.

SAM LEITH
Rhetoric The Art of Persuasion from Aristotle to Obama A witty, elegant enquiry into the power of oratory Rhetoric is what gives words power. It’s nothing to be afraid of. It isn’t the exclusive preserve of politicians: it’s everywhere, from your argument with the insurance company to your plea to the waitress for a table near the window. It convicts criminals (and then frees them on appeal). It causes governments to rise and fall, best men to be shunned by brides, and people to march with steady purpose towards machine guns. In this highly entertaining (and persuasive) book, Sam Leith examines how people have taught, practised and thought about rhetoric from its Attic origins to its twenty-first century apotheosis. Along the way, he tells the stories of its heroes and villains, from Cicero and Erasmus, to Hitler, Obama – and Gyles Brandreth.
Sam Leith is the former Literary Editor of the Daily Telegraph, and he contributes regularly to the Evening Standard, Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Spectator and Prospect. He is the author of two nonfiction books, Dead Pets and Sod’s Law, and a novel, The Coincidence Engine.

The Story of English in 100 Words An eye-opening tour of the English language through the ages
In this unique new history of the world’s most ubiquitous language, the foremost expert on linguistics David Crystal draws on the one hundred words that best illustrate the huge variety of developments and events that have shaped our vernacular since the first definitively English word was written down in the fifth century (‘roe’, in case you are wondering). Featuring Latinate and Celtic words, weasel words and nonce-words, ancient words (‘loaf’) and the cutting-edge (‘twittersphere’) and spanning the indispensable (‘and’, ‘what’) and the more fanciful (‘fopdoodle’), Crystal takes us along the winding byways of language via the rude, the obscure and the downright surprising.
David Crystal is honorary professor of linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor. He has written many books and articles in fields ranging from forensic linguistics and ELT to the liturgy and Shakespeare.

Bred of Heaven One man’s quest to reclaim his Welsh roots A delightfully off-beat ode to Wales Jasper Rees has always wanted to be Welsh. But despite Welsh grandparents (and a Welsh surname) he is an Englishman: by birth, upbringing and temperament. In this hilarious love letter to a glorious country so often misunderstood, Rees sets out to achieve his goal of becoming a Welshman by learning to sing, play, work, think and above all, speak like one. On the way he meets monks, tenors and politicians, and tries his hand at rugby and lambing – all the while weaving together his personal story with Wales’ rich history. This exuberant journey of self discovery celebrates the importance of national identity, and the joy of belonging.

How to Watch the Olympics And become deeply passionate about handball, Greco-Roman wrestling and synchronised swimming The only book you have to read for London 2012 The Olympics is the world’s biggest sporting event – and it moves centre stage for London 2012. Yet the games the world is familiar with – football, cricket, rugby, baseball, motor sports – are either missing or have a token presence. In their place are games that most of us have not a clue how to play or to watch. Which is where this witty, insightful book comes into play, offering the back story behind each Olympic sport and, by means of fiendishly clever diagrams and prose, explaining the rules and finer points. Once you’ve read David Goldblatt and Johnny Acton’s accounts, you’ll be on tenterhooks to see whether the Danish or the Koreans triumph at handball, just what the Italian fencers are up to, and if GrecoRoman wrestling really is like a game of chess.
David Goldblatt is the author of the World Football Yearbook and The Ball is Round: A Global History of Football. Johnny Acton has written books on everything from pickling food (Preserved with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall) to the history of balloons (The Man Who Touched the Sky).

Q: One of my colleagues took this photo of ice bubbles in Cranberry Lake in Ontario. How did the bubbles form in this amazing fashion?
A: Microbes from the sediment on the lake floor produce gases, which rise to the frozen surface of the lake and become trapped there. Another layer of ice forms below the ice bubbles, flattening them.

Farmer Buckley’s Exploding Trousers And other odd events on the way to scientific discovery The all-but-forgotten heroes and highlights of everyday science In August 1931, New Zealand farmer Richard Buckley hit the local headlines – or rather his trousers did. One minute they were drying in front of the fire, the next there was a huge blast and a ball of flames. Farmer Buckley’s trousers had exploded. The culprit? A popular pesticide of the day, which when combined with clothing fibres unexpectedly formed a highly combustible compound. Contrary to the widespread belief that science and technology move steadily from one discovery to the next, the stories in this entertaining collection present some of the unfamiliar characters and events that litter the path of scientific progress, where setbacks and mishaps are the norm, and breakthroughs are the exception.

Deadly Waters Inside the hidden world of Somalia’s pirates A gripping exploration of the lives of modern-day buccaneers What are the daily lives of modern day pirates like outside of the attack skiffs? How do they spend their money? What clothes do they wear, and what is their drug of choice? Jay Bahadur has ventured where all except the bravest fear to tread: to the heart of Somalia. Having fast become the ‘go to’ journalist for the media, and with unparalleled access to all the major players, from government officials to local residents – and of course the pirates themselves – the intrepid young author paints a revealing new picture of the masked menaces who now regularly appear on the news. Evocative and incisive, Deadly Waters is his highly original narrative, based on a wealth of first-hand accounts, and sheds fascinating new light on the international pirate crisis.
Jay Bahadur is a journalist specialising in Somali piracy. He has featured as an expert on the BBC’s Today programme and CBS News, and his articles have been published in The Times and Globe and Mail. This is his first book.

Published for the centenary, Machu Picchu tells the story of this magical place, and examines how interpretations of this historic site have been transformed over the last twenty years, through the evidence of early Spanish documents, new archaeology and, significantly, a new look at material that Bingham controversially removed from Peru.

Vincent van Gogh lived life at the extremes – whether as a painter, a preacher, a lover, or a letter-writer. When he left his bourgeois Dutch family to preach the Gospels, he went as far as he could go – to the bottoms of the deepest coalmines in the world. He gave away all his worldly possessions, including the clothes off his back. He did all this, he said, ‘to bring consolation to the heartbroken’. Late in his life, he accomplished that same mission through art.

STEVEN NAIFEH AND GREGORY WHITE SMITH
Vincent van Gogh The Life The definitive biography Vincent van Gogh created some of the best loved – and most expensive – works of art ever made, from the early The Potato Eaters to his late masterpieces Sunflowers and The Starry Night. He had worked as an art dealer, a missionary and in England as a teacher, and only in his late twenties did he begin a life that would be fundamental in shaping modern art. But when he died in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890 at the age of thirty-seven he was largely unknown. Written with the cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum, Pulitzer-winning authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith recreate his extraordinary life – and the inside of his troubled mind – like never before. Drawing on all of his (and his family’s) extensive letters, which offer exquisitely-written glimpses into his thoughts and feelings, this is the definitive portrait of one of the world’s cultural giants.
Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith are the authors of the Pulitzer Prize winning biography of Jackson Pollock (the basis for the film Pollock), which was also a finalist for the National Book Award and a NYT bestseller.

Following soldiers and sailors, nurses and government workers from Britain, Russia and Germany, and from Australia and South America – and in theatres of war often neglected by major histories on the period – Englund reconstructs their feelings, impressions, experiences and moods. This is a piece of anti-history: it brings this epoch-making event back to its smallest component, the individual.
Peter Englund was a professor at Uppsala University, and is now permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy (which awards the Nobel Prize for Literature). His breakthrough book on the Battle of Poltava was published to universal critical acclaim.

MARIA EDGEWORTH Introduced by John Mullan
Patronage Regency family values by Jane Austen’s greatest rival
Meet the Percys and Falconers, neighbouring families, each with three sons and two daughters to launch into Regency society. The hardworking, independently minded and dutiful Percys are happy to work their way up in the world but are undermined by their scheming rivals who use patronage to grab at instant fame and fortune. With their sons eased into lucrative but ill-suited diplomatic and clerical jobs, and their daughters bankrupting themselves to scale the heights of fashion, the Falconers are heading for a tumble; while the moral steadiness and strong family ties of the Percys allow them to attain both the heights of their chosen professions and a glittering match. A Regency bestseller with a clear message for our times.

Maria Edgeworth (1768–1849) was one of the most successful authors of Regency England.

John Mullan is Professor of English at UCL and contributes regularly to Newsnight Review, LRB, the Guardian and New Statesman.

Telescope Truth, imagination and the consolations of gossip
Daniel Brennan, afflicted by a rare disease, retreats to a room in his brother’s house. To divert himself and entertain Ellen, his carer, he writes vignettes of his life and of those close to him. A wry and compassionate observer, he creates a vivid kaleidoscope of truth and fiction: the journal that forms Telescope. In this, an engaging cast of characters move in and out of focus: among them Celia, his beloved sister, stranded in casual affairs, teaching abroad; Charlie, his kindly entrepreneurial brother; and his punk-musician friend Zoë, with whom he shares the pleasures of tattoos and Italian horror movies. Startlingly original, Telescope is a moving but often funny exploration of the power of imagination, the experience of isolation and the consolations of gossip.
Jonathan Buckley is the highly-praised author of Contact and So He Takes the Dog. He lives in Hove.

RUPERT MERSON
Guide to Managing Growth Strategies for turning success into even bigger success Making your business’s future altogether greater Successful and ambitious organisations recognise the ‘growth imperative’ but are often insufficiently aware of what might threaten continued success. Growth means change. What worked last year won’t necessarily work next year. An organisation that wants to manage growth successfully will need to fix things that aren’t yet broken. This guide explores the different aspects of growth and outlines strategies and tactics that will enable businesses to move forward to a bigger and even more successful future.
Rupert Merson teaches at London Business School and advises firms on how to manage growth. Formerly a partner of BDO Stoy Hayward, he has written several management books, most recently Rules are Not Enough.
