• Vision on: Film, Television and the Arts in Britain (Nonfictions)

    Vision On narrates the turbulent yet distinguished history of one of the fundamental pillars of British broadcasting–the arts. This volume chronicles the years of dynamic and often controversial collaboration between broadcasters and the Arts Council, a key player in bringing art films to the wider public audience. Beginning with the earliest TV documentaries, the arts became central to the remit of public broadcasters, and by the 1980s Channel 4 and the Arts Council were boldly redefining the relationship of the arts and the media by commissioning and airing exclusive and innovative films. With detailed discussion of the cultural role of television programmes such as Civilisation (1966) and Arena (1974 onwards), close analysis of over 25 films and exclusive access to the Arts Council’s collection of the 450 films supported between 1953 and 1999, this volume illuminates the vanguard role the arts have played in the proud history of British public broadcasting, and attempts to locate the place of arts broadcasting in today’s multi-channel, multi-media world.

  • Chairs by Architects

    01
    What is it that distinguishes a chair designed by an architect? Why is it so tempting for an architect to have a chair in his or her portfolio? Is it possible to use creative solutions interchangeably in both domains? Chairs by Architects answers these and many other questions to show how qualities in the buildings by architects are also evident in their chair design: pieces of furniture, like manifestos, become signatures of architectural style. The 55 architects include early modern architectural pioneers such as Otto Wagner, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Antoni Gaudí and Walter Gropius, together with more recent modern masters such as Oscar Niemeyer, Santiago Calatrava, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry and Daniel Libeskind. The book contains interviews on Designing (in conversation with David Adjaye), Manufacturing (with David E. Bright, Knoll Inc.), Selling (with Zeev Aram), Collecting (with Richard Wright) and Preserving (with Susanne Graner, Vitra Design Museum).
    This is essential reading for everyone concerned with design, architecture and the relationship between creators and their creations.

  • Hunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet)

    07
    The conclusion to the Cat and Mouse Duet is here…

    The Diamond

    Death walks alongside me,
    But the reaper is no match for me.
    I’m trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren’t as they seem.
    They won’t keep me forever.
    I no longer recognize the person I’ve become,
    And I’m fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night.
    They call me a diamond,
    But they’ve only created an angel of death.

    The Hunter

    I was born a predator,
    With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones.
    When what’s mine is stolen from me in the night,
    Like a diamond hidden within a fortress,
    I find that I can no longer contain the beast.
    Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her.
    And bring her back to where she belongs.
    No one will escape my wrath,
    Especially not those who have betrayed me.

    Warning: This is the second and final installment to the Duet. You must read Haunting Adeline first.

    ‘Compelling’ HARPER’S BAZAAR
    ‘Richly textured’ GRAZIA
    ‘Completely riveting . . . an eclectic compendium of style, subversion and literary snippets . . . all about the magical meaning of clothes’ CALENDAR MAGAZINE

    Maya Angelou imagined she’d feel like a movie star in a dress of lavender taffeta. Rachel Weisz loves the democracy of denim. Zadie Smith’s look differs depending on whether she’s in New York or London, while Joan Didion always packed the same clothes. Jarvis Cocker found inspiration at jumble sales, Bella Freud in Colette’s novels and Harris Reed in the gender fluidity of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. Oscar Wilde understood the importance of proportions, Stanley Tucci favours a narrow stripe and Chloë Sevigny delights in traditional, with a twist.

    For Bernardine Evaristo style is about a refusal to be stereotyped. Jilly Cooper and AJ Tracey appreciate retail therapy. Sienna Miller misses the freedom of a less self-conscious age. For Davina McCall, an outfit begins with underwear; for Sophie Dahl it’s not complete without scent. Clothes allow Susie Cave to hide and Charlotte Tilbury to feel empowered.

    With over sixty pieces on everything from thrifting to modesty dressing, drag to vintage sportswear, Style and Substance is a gloriously eclectic celebration of self-expression.

    Those who work in health and social care give inspiring support for the health, happiness and well-being of all – communities, societies and nations. Yet their workplaces often harm their own health and well-being, affecting care quality, motivation, patient satisfaction and corroding cultures of compassion.

    In these pages, an evidence-based approach to transforming the leadership and cultures of health and social care teams and organisations is described. Practical, powerful and compelling, it describes a strategy based on the core human value of compassion, showing that by sustaining that value in health and social care, we can cultivate wisdom, humanity, presence and high-quality in health and care services. Supplemented with practical resources, case examples and searching questions for discussion, it offers a simple, radical and powerfully effective strategy for change.

    It is a call for leaders to nurture compassion within themselves and across health and social care institutions, to support healthier and happier institutions and communities. It challenges leaders at every level to have the courage and authenticity to embody compassion in their leadership now and for the long-term future.

  • Everything is Everything: The Top 10 Bestseller

    08

    ‘Infinitely more readable than the average journalism memoir, and decidedly more important.’ – Sathnam Sanghera, The Times

    ‘So engaging. You feel as if he is talking to you, sharing ideas and thoughts, as if you were a friend.’ – Yasmin Ahlibai-Brown

    As a Bolton teenager with a paper round, Clive Myrie read all the newspapers he delivered from cover to cover and dreamed of becoming a journalist. In this deeply personal memoir, he tells how his family history has influenced his view of the world, introducing us to his Windrush generation parents, a great grandfather who helped build the Panama Canal, and a great uncle who fought in the First World War, later to become a prominent police detective in Jamaica.

    He reflects on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he’s encountered in thirty years reporting some of the biggest stories of our time (most recently from Ukraine), showing us how those experiences gave him a better idea of what it means to be an outsider. He tells of his pride in his roots, but his determination not to be defined by his background in dealing with the challenges of race and class to succeed at the highest level.

    Moving, engaging, revealing, Everything is Everything is a story of love and hate – but also hope.

    GIVE THE STORY ON EVERYONE’S LIPS THIS CHRISTMAS: COLEEN ROONEY’S OFFICIAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

    A candid, intimate, behind the scenes look at the reality of a life lived on social media and under the scrutiny of the public eye.

    ‘It was the biggest thing that had ever happened to me, and like nothing I’d ever experienced…

    Looking back on it now, it still amazes me how inflated it all got, how ridiculous, how serious.

    That’s why I need to tell what happened in full…’

    ——————————————————————————-

    Coleen Rooney has always been true to herself.

    In My Account, she tells us how her upbringing prepared her for a life in the full glare of public and media scrutiny. In fact, from an early age, she was no stranger to responsibility, having two younger brothers as well as welcoming disabled foster sister Rosie into the family.

    At just seventeen, she and boyfriend Wayne left their childhood homes to live together and
    in time they had their own young family to care for. But being married to one of the world’s most successful sportsmen has also meant that any private difficulties they faced were inevitably exposed very publicly.

    And that is no more true than in the now infamous tale of how a casual acquaintance of
    Coleen’s ended in an extraordinary deception.

    Here, she recounts how she first suspected someone was betraying her trust (and how devastated it left her), and then the meticulous steps she took to identify, trap and finally reveal to the world her suspect.

    With the consequences playing out around the world and Coleen dragged unwillingly into a devastating court case whose outcome was far from certain, only now can she candidly give us her side of the story.

    This, then, is My Account, Coleen Rooney’s tale of what it means to stand up for yourself and your family.

  • Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent

    04

    THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER

    This Christmas let Dame Judi Dench take you behind the scenes as she shares her life with, and love of Shakespeare.

    ‘A MAGICAL LOVE LETTER TO SHAKESPEARE’ Sir Kenneth Branagh
    ‘Companionable and compelling – it genuinely feels like you’re sitting at her kitchen table with her. If you love Judi Dench or Shakespeare (and most of us do), look no further’ Guardian
    ‘It swirls and dances with brilliance and mischief’ Daily Mail
    ‘Gloriously entertaining’ Observer

    Taking a curtain call with a live snake in her wig…

    Cavorting naked through the countryside painted green…

    Acting opposite a child with a pumpkin on his head…

    These are just a few of the things Dame Judi Dench has done in the name of Shakespeare.

    For the very first time, Judi opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra.

    Here she reveals her behind the scenes secrets; inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans, all brightened by her mischievous sense of humour and striking honesty.
    Witty, provocative and inspiring, this is ultimately Judi’s love letter to Shakespeare, or rather, The Man Who Pays The Rent.

    ‘An utterly delightful book… Shakespeare from a great actor’s perspective – that repeatedly strikes to the heart of the matter with a sharp instinctive intelligence that puts fancy-pants literary critics to shame’ Telegraph

    ‘A wonderful ode to the bard’ I
    ‘The book is pure enchantment. It swirls and dances with brilliance and mischief, so forget traditional Shakespearean criticism and analysis. Sack the Eng. Lit. professors. As never before, this book brings the subject to wild, authentic life.’ Daily Mail

  • Revolution: The new sports biography revealing the incredible true story of Mikel Arteta’s success at Arsenal football club

    08

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

    The inside story of Mikel Arteta’s astonishing transformation of Arsenal

    November 2019. Unai Emery’s final game as Arsenal manager sees the Gunners languishing eighth in the league. Appointed in the dying embers of the Wenger years, Emery’s 18 months as Arsenal boss has seen the team and the club go backwards – playing unimaginative, pragmatic football, and recently losing to London rivals Chelsea in the final of the Europa League. Something had to change; a fresh head with fresh ideas. A new leader.

    This is the story of how Mikel Arteta turned Arsenal into one of the most exciting, innovative and feared teams in the league. From cutting his teeth as an assistant under Pep Guardiola before joining Arsenal in the winter of 2019, through to title contenders years later – including bust-ups, Covid, disappointments, FA Cup wins, fan revolt, and eventually the rise of an extraordinary young team standing on the edge of greatness – this book will be the first of its kind to explore the workings of Arteta’s philosophy and how he transformed the club from outsiders to title challengers.

    With chapters on his tactical innovations, in-game strategies, transfer insight and, of course, an account of the memorable 2022-23 season – Revolution is the story of an extraordinary football ascent and the first draft of Arsenal’s new history.

    Charles Watts’ book ‘Revolution’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 28-08-2023.

    Make room Herodotus, stand down Bede, pipe down Pepys – there’s a new history book in town.

    From the chart-topping podcast The Rest is History, a whistle-stop tour through the past – from Alexander the Great to Tolkien, the Wars of the Roses to Watergate. The nation’s favourite historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook take on the most curious moments in history, answering the questions we didn’t even think to ask:

    – Did the Trojan War actually happen?
    – What was the most disastrous party in history?
    – Was Richard Nixon more like Caligula or Claudius?
    – How did a hair appointment almost blow Churchill’s cover?
    – Why did the Nazis believe they were descended from Atlantis?

    Whether it is sending historical figures to Casa Amor in a series of Love Island, ranking history’s most famous eunuchs and pigeons (including Winkie, the unsung hero of the Second World War), or debating the meaning of greatness, there is nothing too big or too small for Tom and Dominic to unpick.

    So run your Egyptian milk bath, strap up your best Spartan sandals, and prepare for a journey down the highways and byways of the human past. . .

  • Throwing the Book

    05

    Wayne Barnes – one of the most-experienced international referees in history and criminal barrister to boot – uniquely lifts the lid on a lifetime of trying to keep the biggest names in the sport on best behaviour.

    There aren’t many people who can say they’ve been the thirty-first man on the pitch during a World Cup humdinger, Grand Slam decider or Premiership and European Cup final; listened to the sobs of a 20-stone prop as he tries to belt out his national anthem; heard the crunch of bones after some of the mightiest hits known to the game; or been yards away from the greatest players of the last twenty years, doing almost impossible things with a rugby ball – especially when you’re a working-class lad from the Forest of Dean, wondering how you ever got there in the first place.

    Candid, humble and warmly told, Throwing the Book is a definitive account of what it means to be a rugby referee and a love letter to the sport that has provided Wayne with so much. Covering his childhood days, family life, career highs and lows, side-step into law, as well as what’s next in store for Wayne both on and off the pitch, this book reveals the man behind the referee for the very first time.

    Serious when it needs to be, but also rich in good humour and humanity, Throwing the Book is a memoir to remember.

    ‘Innovative and transformational’ – Gabor Maté
    ‘Changed my life’ – Rangan Chatterjee

    The empowering new way to discover your multifaceted mind.

    Do you long to break free from a stuck part of you – the inner critic, ‘monkey mind’, a bad habit or an addiction? What if there was a way to approach those aspects of you, to free you from the constant inner struggle and find true healing?

    In this groundbreaking international bestseller, Dr Richard Schwartz reveals that we are each born with an ‘internal family’ of distinct parts within us. Some of our parts can become trapped in destructive patterns, but learning to relate to each of them with curiosity, respect and empathy can vastly expand our capacity to heal.

    The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model will help you challenge the destructive behaviour of these parts, turn the ego, the inner critic and the saboteur into powerful allies, and allow you to return to a more whole and harmonious ‘Self’.

    _______________

    Sometimes work can be murder…

    The Consultant is very good at his job. He creates simple, elegant, effective solutions for. restructuring. Nothing obvious or messy. Certainly nothing anyone would ever suspect as murder.

    The ‘natural deaths’ he plans have always gone well: a medicine replaced here, a mechanism jammed there. His performance reviews are excellent. And it’s not as though he knows these people.

    Until his next ‘customer’ turns out to be someone he not only knows but cares about, and for the first time, he begins to question the role he plays in the vast, anonymous Company. And as he slowly begins to understand the real scope of their work, he realises just how easy it would be for the Company to arrange one more perfect murder…

    But how far will he go to escape The Company? And how far will they go to stop him?

    The electrifying first novel from award-winning Korean thriller-writer Im Seong-Sun – now in English for the first time – combines the tension of the best crime fiction with searing social criticism to present a searing take-down of global corporate life.

    Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn’t a story about how running saved her – she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better.

    There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won’t save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.

    A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019

    “A riveting book . . . few stones are left unturned.”―Roberta Smith’s “Top Art Books of 2019,” The New York Times

    This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women’s everyday lives―from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen―and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women’s stories into intimate focus.

  • Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror

    01

    The New York Times Bestseller
    ‘A glorious showcase of Black American horror’ Guardian
    ‘A brilliant anthology of stories that will keep you awake at night and linger with you in the day. I loved it.’ Daisy Johnson

    Jordan Peele, the visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us and Nope, curates this anthology of brand new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but also the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our world.

    ‘Not only likely to be the best anthology of the year, but one for the ages’ – The Guardian

    Featuring an introduction by Jordan Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a masterclass in horror, and – like his spine-chilling films – its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world, and redefine what it means to be afraid. Very afraid . . .

    A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes in place of the headlights of cars that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama, where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the watery depths in search of the demon that killed her parents.

    Here you’ll find monster-hunters fighting monsters, humanoid AIs fighting for their rights, and an Igbo woman standing up to a powerful spirit. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers.

    Featuring stories by: Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor and Cadwell Turnbull.

    ‘Delightful and informative … I love Niki’s style of writing – packed with knowledge and information, but conveyed with such a lightness of touch’ YOTAM OTTOLENGHI

    ‘The books I value most are those I return to again and again. Such has been the case with The Flavour Thesaurus’ NIGEL SLATER

    ‘An eclectic combination of dictionary, recipe book, travelogue and memoir … A deceptively simple little masterpiece’ SUNDAY TIMES

    Ever wondered why one flavour works with another? Or lacked inspiration for what to do with a bundle of beetroot?

    The Flavour Thesaurus was the first book to examine what goes with what, pair by pair and is divided into flavour themes including Meaty, Cheesy, Woodland and Floral Fruity. Within these sections it follows the form of Roget’s Thesaurus, listing 99 popular ingredients alphabetically, and for each one suggests unique flavour pairings that range from the classic to the bizarre.

    You will find traditional pairings: pork & apple, lamb & apricot, cucumber & dill; contemporary favourites like chocolate & chilli and goat’s cheese & beetroot, and interesting but unlikely-sounding pairings like black pudding & chocolate, lemon & beef, blueberry & mushroom, and watermelon & oyster. There are nearly a thousand entries in all, with 200 recipes and suggestions embedded throughout the text.

    Now featuring a new foreword by Bee Wilson and a fold-out poster of the flavour wheel, The Flavour Thesaurus is a highly useful, and covetable, reference book for cooking – it will keep you up at night reading.

    Everyone knows flavor is important, right? But what turns flavor into something even more spectacular? Texture!

Next is “Chewy,” where you’ll make recipes including New York bagels, Jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles), and boba tea. “Aerated” features recipes like cheese foam, challah bourbon french toast casserole, and a lighter-than-air glazed donut. The “Creamy” chapter features 1-pound butter potatoes, mac and cheese, and tres leches. In fluid, you’ll indulge in birria tacos, diner-style milkshakes, and matzo ball soup. Finally, the “Fatty” chapter features a 72-hour short rib with coffee caramel, hamachi crudo, and a Texas toast smashburger.

    With Joshua, you know there is no halfway; these recipes will challenge you and make cooking what it’s supposed to be-fun and maybe a little dangerous!

    Here’s what you’ll find inside:

    – Six amazing texture chapters, each with each with an insightful introduction that explains how each texture interacts with flavor.
    – Over 75 new and bold recipes, made in the no-holds-barred way you expect from Joshua.
