Editor’s Letter Welcome to Turnaround’s January 2017 buyer’s notes! 2017.

Two thousand and seventeen. Let that sink in for a moment.

Although we are still – at time of writing – enjoying the brief but glorious days of the English summer, we cannot help ourselves but to look ahead to what the New Year has in store for us. Spoiler alert: it’s ever more of our jaw-dropping variety of fiction, graphic novels, art books and non-fiction!

Fourth in the acclaimed Dark Iceland series (following Snowblind, Nightblind and Blackout – all Orenda Books, 20152016, also available from Turnaround) is Ragnar Jónasson’s Rupture (Orenda, 9781910633571, £8.99, p. 6). Set in the isolated fjords of Iceland, police office Art Thór investigates a crime that took place in 1955, and for which new evidence has come to light. Haunting, frightening and complex, Rupture is a dark and atmospheric thriller from one of Iceland’s foremost crime writers. It’s perfect for those who can’t get enough Scandi crime fiction, but who are also looking for something fresh, new and exciting in the genre. Take it from Jake Kerridge, writing for the Sunday Express: “Jónasson’s books have breathed new life into Nordic noir.”

A must-have for SF fans and die-had collectors alike is Philip K. Dick’s We Can Remember it for you Wholesale and Other Classic Stories (Citadel, 9780806537986, £11.99, p. 8). One of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century, Philip K. Dick’s influence is far-ranging, even 30+ years after his untimely death. Interest in his work continues to build, and a growing body of critical attention means that his work is as popular as ever. This edition is one of six of the seminal author’s collections to be repackaged and reissued

by Citadel (including Eye of the Sibyl & Other Stories – also available from Turnaround). Featuring the story ‘We Can Remember It for You Wholesale’, which inspired the major motion picture Total Recall (1990), this collection draws from the writer’s earliest fiction, written during the years 1952-55. Also included are fascinating works such as ‘The Adjustment Team’ (basis of the 2011 movie The Adjustment Bureau [Universal, 2011]), ‘Impostor’ (basis of the 2001 movie of the same names) and many others.

Next up, we have a new collection of horrific tales from the master of Japanese horror manga: Junji Ito. Detailing the depths at which a teen will go to get revenge on the world, Junji Ito’s Dissolving Classroom (Vertical, 9781942993858, £9.99, p. 18) is J-Horror at its most beautifully grotesque. These seven new short horror stories centre on teenager Yuma Azawa as he transfers to a new high school. Something is amiss... he’s being following by something... strange. Is it a curse? (Also available from Turnaround, the lighter side to Junji Ito’s work: Junji Ito’s Cat Diary.)

Our most exciting art book this month – and perhaps the most exciting photography book from any publisher this year – is the wildlyanticipated The Street is Watching (Drago, 9788888493947, £80, p. 21).

This volume is a street photography anthology that brings together the most representative and iconic images, ranging from the ‘70s to today, showing the evolution and the spirit of street and urban photography. Curated by Drago, this showcase of the streets features work by 100+ photographers, including Larry Clark, Boogie, Ed Templeton, Glen E. Friedman, JR, Estevan Oriol, Martha Cooper, Jamel Shabazz, Bruce Davidson, Jim Goldberg, Mary Ellen Mark, Bruce Gilden, Ryan McGinley, Hugh Holland, Jill Freedman, C.R. Stecyk, Dash Snow, Bruce LaBruce, Ivory Serra and Olivia Bee. This collection also benefits from text by Miss Rosen. She writes, “The street is more than the site of public lives. It is a place where movements are born. The street is where people come together to stand as one, to speak the truth to those in power, to defy the corrupt system. Freedom is born on the streets.”

Finally, we announce the mass market edition of “A powerful and inspiring exploration of the female relationship with landscape” (Melissa Harrison, author of At Hawthorn Time – Bloomsbury, 2015).

In March 2015 a uniquely empowering book about wild landscapes, female mythology and the challenges facing modern women was published. Readers reached out from across the world to give the book 5 star reviews and described it as lifechanging and essential. This second edition of If Women Rose Rooted (September Publishing, 9781910463666, £10.99, p. 25) has been packaged to reach a wider market. It is a unique book for any woman who has ever lost her way, who sees a wasteland at the heart of modern life and longs to live a more authentic, rooted life once again. If Women Rose Rooted is the subject of so much anticipation and excitement, the publisher is now bringing this book out early, in November 2016.

In the early 1920s in Iran two teenagers fall in love and marry. Sardar brings his young bride with him across the mountains to the suburbs of Tehran, where the couple settles down and builds a home.

Into this family of illiterate shepherds is born Bahram, a boy whose intellectual promise is apparent from a young age. Through his education, Bahram will become a follower of reformer Mohamed Mossadegh and will participate first hand in his country’s political and social upheavals.

Hope opens up about her life as a Creole who dares to aspire for greatness on the island of St. James. As she moves about in the shadow of Master Livingston, and under the watchful eyes of her servant, Angela, she fantasizes about becoming a planter in the sugar industry.

Upon befriending Gloria Hanover, the most powerful woman on the island, the young woman becomes immersed into a world where seduction, cruelty and witchcraft were used as powerful means of dominance. In the midst of social upheaval and economic uncertainties, bitter hearts create room for revenge.

MUHAMMAD CODE, THE

How a Desert Prophet Brought You ISIS, al Qaeda, and Boko Haram Bloom, Howard

Over a thousand years ago, Islam toppled superpowers Rome and Persia, then took over two-thirds of the inhabited world. Militant Muslims believe that Islam is on the brink of doing it again. The Muhammad Code lays bare the origins of this belief. Many excuse Islamic violence as a legitimate reaction to Western imperialism. They blame wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the establishment of Israel. But Jihad was invented in 624 AD by the only prophet ever to call himself ‘The Prophet of War’. And that prophet was not responding to legitimate grievances, but an ambition for world conquest.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Explains the version of Islam followed by groups like ISIS, Boko Haram and al Qaeda.

• An important first step to public understanding and healing in the wake of terrorist attacks.

• Curiosity about jihad and Islamic terrorism abounds, without many clear answers presenting themselves to the public.

• Bloom is an established global thinker in several fields, including Middle Eastern current affairs.

CULTURE AS WEAPON

Art and Marketing in the Age of Total Communication Thompson, Nato

The production of culture was once the domain of artists, but beginning in the early 1900s, the emerging fields of public relations, advertising and marketing transformed the way the powerful communicate with the rest of us. A century later, the tools are more sophisticated than ever, the onslaught more relentless.

In Culture as Weapon, acclaimed curator and critic Nato Thompson reveals how institutions use culture to ensure profits and constrain dissent and shows us

that there are alternatives.

KEY SELLING POINTS • A fascinating look at how, far from being in the artist’s hands, art and culture are controlled by global corporations.

• With skepticism of the media and corporations at an all-time high, the timing of this book couldn’t be better.

• Thompson is one of America’s leading curators.

Psychology

SOMETIMES AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN Ford, Elizabeth

Elizabeth Ford cared for one of the most vulnerable populations of mentally ill people: the inmates of New York’s jails, including Rikers Island. Her patients made her a great doctor and a better person and, as she treated these men, she learned about doctoring, about nurturing, about parenting, and about love. Ford brings humour, grace, and humanity to her beautifully rendered prose on the lives of the patients in her care, and illuminates the inner workings (and failings) of the mental health system, the justice system and the prison system.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Interest in the prison system has soared since Orange is the New Black became one of the world’s favourite TV shows.

• One of OITNB’s most affecting storylines followed the shocking transfer of one prisoner to the psych ward.

• Interest in psychiatric institutions has a far wider span than the medical world, think One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

• Rikers Island has been the subject of a New York Times investigation, reporting corruption and abuse of inmates.

• Ford puts a human face to the problem of mental health in prisons.

Hegel and the Young Marx Finelli, Roberto; Thomas, Peter D. & Popham, Nicola (trans.)

ART OF WOMEN AT WAR, THE Rivers, Eileen

From award-winning journalist Eileen Rivers, comes a riveting account of three women who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As members of the Female Engagement Teams (FET), the work of these three women and hundreds like them was vital in defeating the Taliban. Their work, like much of the work done by military women who have served in war zones before them, contributed to the Pentagon’s December 2015 decision to open all combat jobs to women. Yet the work of these American military women remains mostly unknown. This book is the first to tell their stories.

KEY SELLING POINTS • First book to explore the Female Engagement Team, chronicling their experience and the struggle it took to start FETs. • These teams were mini-revolutions against sexism and paved the way for the US opening up all combat jobs to women.

• Author is a former soldier and child of a military family, now a journalist on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

• Rivers tells the story of an Afghan woman who worked with the FET to fight against the Taliban.

• Will be a welcome contribution to the growing conversation about women’s roles in the military.

COMPLETE BOOK OF DREAMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN, THE Ashley, Leonard R.N.

This book is not only a valuable guide to the interpretation of dreams, but also goes much further than typical dream books to include a vast array of literature, folklore and film references about dreams, proving that while dreams may be a window on the soul, they are also a lens through which we can understand society and culture as well. This thoroughly researched illustrated volume contains sections covering dreams and dreaming. Dr. Ashley’s unique prose style will appeal to both scholarly and popular audiences alike.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Ashley brings a mass of well-researched information together in a way that appeals to scholarly and casual audiences.

In Hitler Saved My Life, advertising legend Jim Riswold brilliantly combines incisive and funny essays with gorgeous and hilarious visuals to chronicle his battle with cancer and details how a post-diagnosis career transformation into a ‘fake artist’ helped stave off death.

And that fake art, inhabited by tyrants like Mao, Hitler and Mussolini, has provoked a great deal of controversy. But as one critic noted, Riswold’s work ‘teaches us how to deal with monsters, be it a Hitler or a deadly disease.’

KEY SELLING POINTS • A controversial body of work with a controversial cast of characters.

• Created by Jim Riswold, a celebrated advertising guru who has created some of the 20th century’s most famous ads.

• Riswold was inducted into The One Club Creative Hall of Fame (fellows include Steve Jobs and David Ogilvy).

• Riswold’s TED talk explaining how the world’s tyrants helped him battle cancer has gone viral.

Introducing two new titles

Dung Beetle Ltd Miriam Elia 2016

The Dung Beetle Learning Scheme

The Dung Beetle Learning Scheme

We learn at home ISBN: 9780992834999 We go out ISBN: 9780992834982 Published: September 2016

Bic code: WH Binding: Cloth By: Miriam Elia and Ezra Elia RRP: £7.99

Following the bestselling success of the first title ‘We go to the Gallery’ (see left), Dung Beetle books are proud to announce the publication of two new titles in the scheme. Both will further the child’s progress by undermining everything that he understands to be true, valuable or just. This demonstrates Dung Beetles core principle of development through total annihilation of self worth, and will help to create the next generation of the kind, loving and utterly brainless intellectual elites.

In book 1b of the Dung Beetle Learning series, Mummy grounds all learning in a feelings-based outlook, free of any actual facts or skills, re-evaluating core subjects such as mathematics, religion, philosophy and art.

In book 1c a simple stroll down the local high street is magically illuminated by Mummy’s insights into the nature of society, religion, art and the various other forms of hierarchical or patriarchal oppression.

M.Elia and E.Elia are highly successful reclusives, who live in a cave and have no contact with the outside world. They maintain a strict policy of no contact with anyone they disagree with.
