PR PROFILE BOOKS AUTUMN 2015
By any standards this is a superb list of books – one we are immensely proud to be publishing. It starts with Mary Beard’s great SPQR which can best any work of history in any gladiatorial contest this autumn and continues with remarkable books on history, natural history, politics, psychology, economics and business. Our publishing is all about our authors – our job as publishers is to bring important books by the best writers to as many readers as possible. And we are – more or less invisibly, certainly seamlessly – in the middle. But sometimes the occasion requires us to say something about ourselves. Stephen Brough and I set up Profile Books on April Fool’s Day 1996. We have worked as partners, with a growing number of colleagues for nearly twenty years. Now, just before the first books in this catalogue are published, Stephen is retiring. Much of Profile’s success is down to his wise judgement, cool business acumen and unerring demand for quality. We would not be where we are without Stephen, and thanks to him, he retires leaving the company stronger than ever and with one of its best publishing lists ever. Happy reading.

‘I love Professor Beard – there’s no one better to be in ancient Rome with’ TV critic Lucy Mangan ‘She combines erudition with charm, wit and warmth in a way that’s rare in academia’ columnist Rowan Pelling ‘Beard’s popularizing bent is grounded in a deep knowledge of the arcane, and she gives new insight into the hoariest of topics, according to Elaine Fantham, a wellknown Latinist who is a generation Beard’s senior. “When Mary does something, it is not old hat. It becomes new hat.”’ New Yorker ‘When I grow up I want to be Mary Beard, a classy classic classicist intellectually revered, wickedly wonderful and wise’ stand-up poet Megan Beech

SPQR A history of Ancient Rome The world’s most celebrated classicist on the world’s greatest empire. Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths, stories, debates and controversies still strike a chord with us. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world’s foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us today. Covering a thousand years of history, and casting fresh light on Roman culture from democracy to running water, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. Mary Beard is a professor of classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, and the classics editor of the TLS. She is also a noted blogger and television presenter. Her previous books include the best-selling, Wolfson Prizewinning Pompeii, The Roman Triumph, The Parthenon and Confronting the Classics. Her blog has been collected in the books It’s a Don’s Life [9781846682513] and All in a Don’s Day [9781846685361].

RICHARD MABEY
The Cabaret of Plants Mabey’s magnum opus: an extraordinary collection of encounters between plants and people. From Ice Age artists to the Romantic poets, via colonialism and the nineteenth century botanical mania of empire, The Cabaret of Plants explores plant species which have challenged our imaginations, awoken that clichéd but real human emotion of wonder, and upturned our ideas about history, science, beauty and belief. Picked from every walk of life, they encompass crops, weeds, medicines, religious gathering-places and a water lily named after a queen. Beginning with pagan cults and creation myths, the cultural significance of plants has burst upwards, sprouting into forms as diverse as the panacea (the cureall ginseng, a single root of which can cost up to $10,000), Newton’s apple, the African ‘vegetable elephant’ or boabab, whose swollen trunks store thousands of litres of water – and the mystical, night-flowering Amazonian cactus, the moonflower.

SIMON BRADLEY
The Railways Nation, Network and People The definitive social history: how trains transformed every aspect of British life from work to holidays, from the landscpare to catching criminals The railways. Thousands of route-miles fenced off from the rest of the country, carved into landscapes barely changed since Shakespeare’s time and ruled by their own unfamiliar laws. From the classical architecture of Newcastle station to the unrelenting traffic and expanse of Clapham Junction and the lost stations of Oban and Challow, Simon Bradley explores the landscape of the railways, the trains and the passengers who pass through it. Private compartments and railway rugs have given way to carriages with lavatories and air conditioning, but other parts of the system are the oldest in the world. Bradley weaves from these networks a remarkable story of technological change, of architecture and engineering, of shifting social classes, gender relations and public health, of tourism and the changing world of work, showing us that to travel through Britain by train is to travel through time as well as space.
Simon Bradley is editor of the Buildings of England series, founded by Nikolaus Pevsner, to which he has contributed a number of notable revised volumes. He started trainspotting at the age of eleven and his enthusiasm for railways has proved remarkably enduring. He is the author of St Pancras Station and £8.99 978 1 84668 460 9 lives in London.

‘The shark is shocking when it comes. The sea erupts. A head four times wider than the bird hurls it towards the sky, its wings trailing. In this liquid world the shark is astonishingly solid, the antithesis of water, like a blade. Its eyes are blank white circles, zombie-like membranes, closed for protection as it attacks, but they mean the shark must strike blind and it doesn’t see the albatross slide sideways from its enormous head, unharmed. A triangular fin cuts past, inches away and far taller than the bird. The tail thrashes as the shark turns to try again. The camera runs. I haven’t breathed. Another lunge and I see the shark’s jaws bulging forwards through its skin as it prepares to bite, but the bird is deflected sideways by its bow-wave and again the shark misses.’

The Shark and the Albatross Travels with a Camera to the Ends of the Earth For twenty years John Aitchison has explored the world’s most remote locations to film wildlife in their natural habits. The Shark and the Albatross is the story of a cameraman’s encounters with animals in remote, exotic and dangerous places. John Aitchison gives vivid descriptions of the lives of polar bears and penguins, seals and whales, sharks and birds, wolves and lynxes. He records touching moments and dramatic incidents, some ending in success against the odds, others desperately sad when, in spite of preparation for every outcome, disaster strikes. He reveals what happens behind the scenes and beyond the camera, explaining the practicalities and challenges of the filming process and the difficulties of surviving in perilous places. And, as he shows in several incidents of nail-biting tension and hair-raising hilarity, disaster can sometimes strike for film-makers too. This is natural history writing at its absolute best, evocative, informative and, above all, gripping from first to last.
John Aitchison is a wildlife filmmaker. His many awards include a joint BAFTA and a joint Primetime Creative Emmy both for the cinematography of the BBC series Frozen Planet.

The Book of Human Emotion An Encyclopedia of Feeling from Anger to Wanderlust Find out what you really feel with this witty and insightful A-Z of emotion. Recent research has us believe that there are as few as six ‘basic’ emotions. But if this makes you uneasy, suspicious, or even a little sad, The Book of Human Emotion is for you. With over 150 entries, ranging across literature and art, medicine and psychology, philosophy and pop culture, this unique compendium explores the secret histories of our feelings and the surprising connections between them. Tiffany Watt Smith reveals the often dramatic, and always compelling, stories behind familiar emotions, from fatal epidemics of nostalgia to the invention of cheerfulness – and introduces you to ones you’ll wonder how you ever lived without, like basorexia (a sudden desire to kiss someone) or iktsuarpok (the antsy anticipation of a guest). And as you explore the hidden routes that link boredom and disgust, excitement and rage, grief and mirth, you’ll discover more about why you feel the way you do.
Tiffany Watt Smith is research fellow at the QMUL Centre for the History of the Emotions, and was a 2014 BBC New Generation Thinker. Before beginning her career in research, she worked as a theatre director for seven years. She lives in London.

ANDREW GANT
Sing Unto the Lord A History of English Church Music The biography of a quintessentially English tradition by one of its leading scholars and proponents. Andrew Gant’s compelling account traces English church music from Anglo-Saxon origins to the present. It is a history of the music and of the people who made, sang and listened to it. It shows the part church music has played in ordinary lives and how it reflects those lives back to us. The author considers why the music remains so popular and frequently tops the classical charts and why the BBC’s Choral Evensong remains the longest-running radio series ever. He shows how England’s church music follows the contours of its history and is the soundtrack of its changing politics and culture, from the mysteries of the Mass to the elegant decorum of the Restoration anthem, from stern Puritanism to Victorian bombast, and thence to the fractured worlds of the twentieth century as heard in the music of Vaughan Williams and Britten. This is a book for everyone interested in the history of English music, culture and society.

Making a Point The Pernickity Story of English Punctuation The triumphant new volume in David Crystal’s classic series on the English language combines the first history of English punctuation with a complete guide to how to use it. Behind every punctuation mark lie a thousand stories. The punctuation of English, marked with occasional rationality, is founded on arbitrariness and littered with oddities. For a system of a few dozen marks it generates a disproportionate degree of uncertainty and passion, inspiring organisations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and sending enthusiasts, correction-pens in hand, in crusades against error. Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit, clarity and common sense. He gives a fascinating account of the origin and progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one and a half millennia, and he offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion and context. David Crystal is Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor. His many books range from clinical linguistics to the liturgy and Shakespeare. He is the author of The Story of English in 100 Words and Spell It Out: The Singular History of English Spelling, both published by Profile. His Stories of English is a Penguin Classic.

The river is the river A dazzlingly inventive novel that explores the whole nature of storytelling and writing.
A woman named Naomi arrives at her sister’s house, intending, it seems, to say goodbye. She is abandoning her city life for a remote Scottish retreat, which she will share with a man called Bernát, whom she considers some kind of visionary. In a sequence of stories filtered through multiple re-tellings, she illuminates the character of this elusive individual. One story seems of special significance: about Afonso, an Amazon boatman, who could be the last speaker of his mother tongue, a language of apparently unique simplicity and precision. Bernat and Naomi are not, however, the only storytellers here. Naomi’s sister, Kate, is herself working on a novel that begins as a ghost story, but ends up as something rather different: The river is the river. ‘A quietly brilliant writer, almost eccentric in his craftsmanship.’ Phil Baker, Sunday Times

SOPHIE HANNAH
The Visitors Book Nobody leaves – or lives – without signing it A Christmas Stocking Chiller by the Queen of Crime In this small but perfectly formed collection of supernatural short stories, Sophie Hannah takes the comforting scenes of everyday life and imbues them with a frisson of fear, then a gust of terror. Why is a young woman so unnerved by the presence of a visitors book in her boyfriend’s inner-city home? And whose spidery handwriting is it that fills the pages? Who is the strangely courteous boy still lingering at a child’s tenth birthday party when all the parents have gathered their children and left? And why does the presence of a perfectly ordinary woman in a post office queue leave another customer pallid and sweating with fear? Be warned … you may not want to find out.
Sophie Hannah is an internationally bestselling writer of psychological crime fiction, published in twentyseven countries. Her recent revival of Agatha Christie’s detective Poirot in The Monogram Murders was a critical and commercial triumph. Her previous short story collection for Sort of Books is The Fantastic Book of Everybody’s Secrets (2008).

Understanding the full complexity of the world we inhabit. In a world of constant change, understanding the world has never been more important. But by thinking in neat segments, we miss the big picture. When economists think about globalisation they see trade; politicians see institutions and power; artists see a new global aesthetic.

MARGARET MacMILLAN
Faces in the Crowd People and Personalities in History New from the author of The War that Ended Peace: a far-reaching book on the difference that character makes to the great events of history. Can an individual change history? Are we all swept along by huge forces such as globalisation or industrialisation, or are the decisions of real people, and leaders in particular, in deciding to go to war, to pursue one economic policy and not another, just as influential? Faces in the Crowd explores how the personalities of politicians, rulers, explorers and campaigners throughout history have shaped the world we live in. From Franklin D. Roosevelt to Fanny Parkes, and from Montaigne to Stalin, Margaret MacMillan teases out how individual traits – tyranny, recklessness, curiosity, caution – play out on the world’s stage. Pithy, compelling and filled with vivid pen-portraits, this book provides a fresh perspective on the past. And it asks serious questions, which – like all the best history – will make you look afresh at not only the past but the present. Margaret MacMillan is the renowned author of the international bestsellers The War that Ended Peace, Nixon in China, and Peacemakers: The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and Its Attempt to End War, which won the Duff Cooper Prize, the Hessell-Tiltman Prize, the Samuel Johnson Prize, and the 2003 Governor General’s Literary Award in Canada.

ALAN BENNETT
The Lady In The Van Film tie in edition of Alan Bennett’s classic memoir
For fifteen years, the recalcitrant Miss Shepherd lived in her broken-down van on Alan Bennett’s driveway in Camden. Deeply eccentric and stubborn to her bones, Miss Shepherd was not an easy tenant. Bennett, despite inviting her in the first place, was a reluctant landlord, never under the illusion that his impulse was purely charitable. This account of those years was first published in 1989 in the London Review of Books. The play premiered in 1999, directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring Dame Maggie Smith, who reprise those roles in this new film adaptation. Shot on location at Bennett’s house, Alex Jennings plays the author, alongside household names including James Corden, Frances de la Tour, Jim Broadbent and Dominic Cooper. Alan Bennett’s is the author of Untold Stories and numerous works of fiction including The Uncommon Reader. His play The History Boys was the National Theatre’s most successful production ever.

Unicorn The Poetry of Angela Carter With an essay by Rosemary Hill a)
The Unicorn As with the night-scented stock, the full splendour of the unicorn manifests itself most potently at twilight. Then the horn sprouts, swells, blooms in all its glory. SEE THE HORN (bend the tab, slit in slot marked ‘x’) Despite being one of the most influential of the post-war English writers, Angela Carter remains little-known as a poet. In Unicorn, Rosemary Hill collects together all her verse from 1963–1971, a period in which Carter began to explore the themes that dominated her later work: magic, the reworking of myths and their darker sides, and the overturning of literary and social conventions. With imagery at times startling in its violence and disconcerting in its presentation of sexuality, Unicorn provides compelling insight into the formation of a remarkable imagination. The accompanying essay considers the poems in the context of Carter’s other work and as an aspect of the sixties, the decade which as Carter put it ‘wasn’t like they say in the movies’. Angela Carter was a British novelist and journalist. Her work includes the novels Nights at the Circus, which won the James Tait Black award, Wise Children and the short story collection The Bloody Chamber. She died in 1992. Rosemary Hill is a historian, critic and the author of two prize-winning books, God’s Architect, a life of the Gothic Revival architect, A. W. N. Pugin and Stonehenge.

Shifting Sands The Unravelling of the Old Order in the Middle East A fresh look at the Middle East today, tomorrow and in the past: with an introduction by Raja Shehadeh, author of the Orwell Prize-winning Palestinian Walks. At a time when the Middle East dominates media headlines more than ever – and for reasons that become ever more heartbreaking – Shifting Sands brings together fifteen impassioned and informed voices to talk about a region with unlimited potential, and yet which can feel, as one writer puts it, ‘as though the world around me is on fire’? Collecting together the thoughts and insights of writers who live in or have deep roots in the region, Shifting Sands takes a look at aspects of the Middle East from the catastrophic long-term effects of the carving up of the region by the colonial powers after World War One to the hopes and struggles of the Arab Spring in relation to Egypt, Iran and Syria. And it asks questions such as: What is it like to be a writer in the Middle East? What does the future hold? And – where do we go from here?

The Spice Book Taste, Trade, Medicine and Myth A compendium of spices: the history and uses of the world’s favourite flavours. Spices are rare things, at once familiar and exotic, comforting us in favourite dishes while evoking far-flung countries, Arabian souks, trade winds, colonial conquests and vast fortunes. From allspice to zedoary, The Spice Book introduces us to their properties, both medical and magical, and the fascinating stories that lie behind both kitchen staples and esoteric luxuries. John O’Connell’s bite-size chapters combine insights on history and art, religion and medicine, culture and science, richly seasoned with anecdotes and recipes. Discover why Cleopatra bathed in saffron and mare’s milk, why wormwood-laced absinthe caused eighteenthcentury drinkers to hallucinate and how cloves harvested in remote Indonesian islands found their way into a kitchen in ancient Syria. Almost every kitchen contains a tin of cloves or a stick of cinnamon, almost every dish a pinch of something, whether chilli or cumin.

How to Watch a Movie An insightful meditation on the experience of watching a film from ‘the greatest living film historian’
You’ve been watching movies for most of your life. But often you’re not quite sure what you think, or why. Should you see a movie in company or alone? How many times can you see it? What’s the difference between watching and seeing? What is a shot. And what is a cut? Are we watching people, characters or actors? Now David Thomson has written a primer with the answers. He refers to many films, many of them classics – Rear Window, Citizen Kane, Rebel Without a Cause, Blow Up, Casino. How to Watch a Movie is deeply informed and often comic and, with asides on subjects from Velazquez’s Las Meninas to taking a photograph of someone you love, it is a reminder that watching a film isn’t just for the cinema – it can be our essential link with life.

The Time Travel Handbook From Pompeii to Woodstock The ultimate travel guidebook to twenty of the world’s greatest historical events
Not many of us can claim to have dipped our handkerchiefs in Charles I’s blood after his execution or to have watched Vesuvius erupt, but that’s about to change ... In their hugely readable, entertaining follow-up to the bestseller How to Watch the Olympics, Goldblatt and Acton transport you back to the greatest spectacles in history, allowing you to pipe up at the trial of Socrates, look on as Montezuma welcomes the Conquistadors into his kingdom and join the Boston Tea Party.* To help you make the most of your trip (forty-eight hours unless otherwise stated) the authors fill you in on background information, drill you in local customs and advise you what to wear and eat for the authentic experience. Forget museums, forget history books – the only way to do history is to live it. *Please note that if you interfere with the events you attend you risk disrupting the space-time continuum, potentially altering the entire course of history and jeopardising your own birth. David Goldblatt is a football aficionado the author of The Game of Our Lives and The Ball is Round. He teaches sociology of sport at Bristol University and broadcasts regularly on the politics of sport for BBC Radio. Johnny ‘Lord’ Acton is a writer who specialises in digging up obscure nuggets of information and making complex subjects accessible. He has written books on everything from food (Preserved with Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall) to the history of balloons (The Man who Touched the Sky). Together they wrote How to Watch the Olympics: Scores and laws, heroes and zeros – an instant initiation to every sport, the bootleg guide which was a bestseller for Profile in 2012.

Voices from the Front An Oral History of the Great War The First World War in the words of the men who fought it, from the author of Gallipoli and The Great War. While every man who served in the Great War is now deceased, they have left behind a huge collection of oral history, capturing the voices of the front line soldiers. In Voices from the Front, oral historian Peter Hart brings together accounts from across the conflict, from soldiers, sailors and airmen, from officers and men alike. In the course of his research, he talked to men who saw their friends die in front of them, who were themselves wounded, men who refused to fight on principle and those whose indomitable spirit carried them through thick and thin. Sometimes they were there at crucial turning points in the war – going over the top in the slaughter of the Somme in 1916 – and sometimes they sweated, toiled and suffered on a forgotten front, thousands of miles from home. This is the First World War seen through the eyes of the men who experienced it for themselves. Peter Hart is an oral historian and a leading expert on the First World War. He is the co-author of Passchendaele and Jutland, and the author of books including The Great War, Gallipoli and The Somme. £25.00 416pp Demy hardback ISBN: 978 1 78125 474 5 e-ISBN: 978 1 78283 172 3 Military history August 2015 World Tr US

Other People’s Money A scathing critique of the financial industry by leading economist John Kay.
We all depend on the finance sector. We need banks to store our money, manage our payments, finance housing stock, restore infrastructure, fund retirement and support new business. But these roles comprise only a tiny sliver of the sector’s activity: 97% of lending is within the finance sector. So what is it all for? What is the purpose of this activity? And why is it so profitable? Industry insider John Kay argues that the finance world’s perceived profitability is not the creation of new wealth but the appropriation of other people’s money. The sector has grown too large, detached itself from ordinary business and life, and become an industry that mostly trades with itself, talks to itself, and judges itself by reference to standards which it has itself generated and which the outside world has now adopted. We need finance, but today we have far too much of a good thing.

Something Will Turn Up The British Economy Past, Present and Future Overcoming economic decline, inflation and mass unemployment have challenged successive Chancellors of the Exchequer. Britain’s leading economic journalists explains why some of them have made more of a fist of it than others. As the prevailing winds of the global economy have changed, so Britain has been buffeted from boom to bust and back again. But how much is our country’s economic landscape shaped by the huge forces of international capital – and the hope that ‘something will turn up’ – and how much by the individual men and women at the heart of our economic policy? David Smith forged his career as Britain’s leading economic journalist during the country’s traumatic transition from ‘workshop of the world’ to playground of international financiers. Something Will Turn Up is his account of the chancellors, prime ministers, Bank of England governors and senior officials Smith has known over the last five decades, and their impact on the realities of modern British life since the war. This is economic history at its most personal, alive and real.

Getting (More of) What You Want Mastering the secrets of psychology and economics for negotiation, performance, profit and prosperity Cutting-edge psychology for the competitive edge in negotiation. Forget about ‘getting to yes’ – in most negotiations, we can get what we want. Drawing on the latest research in psychology and behavioural economics, Getting (More of) What You Want shows us how new behavioural models allows negotiators to move past the outdated ‘win-win’ approach and find the most advantageous outcome for each and every negotiation. Be it with colleagues, superiors, spouses, friends, enemies, estate agents or market traders, negotiation is present in almost every social interaction. Neale and Lys’s detailed analysis of economics, psychology and strategic thinking show that, by taking into account rational behaviour and irrational biases – and learning how best to exploit that – anyone can become a more successful, more effective negotiator. Drawing on three decades of ground-breaking empirical research, Getting (More of) What You Want reveals the counterintuitive methods used by successful negotiators to get everything they want – and more. Margaret Neale is an Adams Distinguished Professor of Management at Stanford University, where her research focuses primarily on negotiation and team performance. She is the author of over seventy articles on the topics of bargaining and negotiation. Thomas Z. Lys is Eric L. Kohler Chair in Accounting at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He has served as a consultant for General Electric and IBM, among other companies.

The Future of Almost Everything The global changes that will affect every business and everyone’s lives The way the world is changing – the trends everyone is interested in and which businesses must take account of if they are to survive and prosper in the future. From the man the Wall Street Journal describes as a ‘global change guru’, here are more than 100 of the trends that touch every aspect of our lives. Patrick Dixon looks at how the future will be Faster and more Urban, Tribal, Universal, Radical and Ethical – a future of boom and bust and great economic change as the emerging markets grow up; a future of great advances in medicine and also greater threats from viral epidemics, a future of political shocks and greater conflicts, a future in which there will be driverless cars and solar power generated in the desert that will power cities thousands of miles away. In short, with great perception and insight, Patrick Dixon highlights what every business needs to be aware of, and prepare for, if it is to prosper and survive in a world where customers and markets, politics and demographics, technology and skills, and opportunities and choices will be very different.

The World in Conflict Understanding the world’s troublespots – from Afghanistan to Yemen From a top Economist journalist, an essential guide to the world’s main danger spots and how and why war and terrorism persist. In the last decade, the USA and its allies have invaded Afghanistan; Russia has sent troops into Ukraine; the militant group Islamic State (IS) has emerged in the Middle East; and across West Africa, the quest for precious minerals has both financed and caused conflicts. Other conflicts are less bloody, but still dangerous – the nervous stand-off between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, for instance, or the continuing stalemate between nuclear-armed, totalitarian North Korea and capitalist, democratic South Korea. Can we be truly confident that these arguments, will not lead to armed conflict – whether by design or by human error? In The World in Conflict, John Andrews tackles head-on the reasons why such global conflict is ever-present in our lives. He analyses today’s conflicts continent by continent, considering the causes, participants, impact and likely outcomes. And, crucially, he considers where and why new clashes might erupt and how we might better understand our world in conflict.
John Andrews has written for the Economist for almost thirty years. His career as a journalist began in the Middle East, and his postings with the Economist have ranged from Singapore and Hong Kong, to Washington, Brussels and Paris. He is the author of The Economist Book of Isms and co-editor of Megachange: The World in 2050.
