  • SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

    05

    Mary Beard’s new book Emperor of Rome is available now

    Ancient Rome matters.

    Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories – from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia – still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today.

    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. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome.

    SPQR is the Romans’ own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, ‘the Senate and People of Rome’.

  • Affinities: A Journey Through Images from The Public Domain Review

    05
    An exploration of echoes and resonances across two millennia of visual culture, celebrating ten years of The Public Domain Review.

    Gathering a remarkable collection of over 500 public domain images, Affinities is a carefully curated visual journey illuminating connections across more than two thousand years of image-making. Drawing on a decade of archival immersion at The Public Domain Review, the book has been assembled from a vast array of sources: from manuscripts to museum catalogues, ship logs to primers on Victorian magic. The images are arranged in a single captivating sequence which unfurls according to a dreamlike logic, through a play of visual echoes and evolving thematic threads – hatching eggs twin with early Burmese world maps, marbled endpapers meet tattooed stowaways, and fireworks explode beside deep-sea coral.

    At once an art book, a sourcebook, and a kaleidoscopic visual poem, Affinities is a unique and enthralling publication that will offer something different on each visit. Its playful and imaginative space invites the reader to transcend familiar categories of epoch, style, or historical theme, and to instead revel in a new world of creative possibilities played out between the images – opening up new connections, ways of seeing, and forms of knowledge.

  • Echoes: A memoir continued . . .

    05

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

    Scenic Wye Valley isn’t the typical place for a rock story to begin, but when Echo & the Bunnymen hit the studio to record their ground-breaking debut album, Crocodiles, it was anything but ordinary. The album was the making of the band – cultivating a cult following which would soon evolve into staggering mainstream success. Their lives would never be the same again.

    In Echoes, legendary guitarist and founding member of Echo & the Bunnymen, Will Sergeant, recounts the band’s whirlwind rise to stardom with his trademark wryness and intelligence. Sharing never-before-told anecdotes – including the heady Rockfield Studio sessions and touring across the US, playing sold-out shows at Whisky a Go Go and experiencing the iconic New York club scene from dusk ’til dawn – and accompanied by snapshots of the cultural, social and political scene at the time, this is a memoir to remember.

  • Ealing Revisited (Bfi)

    05
    Ealing Revisited provides a major reappraisal of one of British cinema’s best-loved institutions, Ealing Studios.

    During its heyday, Ealing produced a string of classic comedies, including Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) and The Ladykillers (1955), but there is much more to Ealing than these films, as this volume of new writing on the studio shows.

    Addressing both known and less familiar aspects of Ealing’s story, its films, actors and technicians, the contributors uncover what has gone unexplored, or unspoken, in previous histories of the studio, and consider the impact that Ealing has had on British cultural life from the 1930s to the present.

  • The Fitting Book: Make Sewing Pattern Alterations & Achieve the Perfect Fit You Desire: Make Sewing Pattern Alterations and Achieve the Perfect Fit You Desire

    05

    The Fitting Book

    Think of the moment you wear an outfit you have sewn for the first time. Think of how happy, proud, and accomplished you feel, all because it fits and you love it.

    Many women struggle with the standard sizing of commercial or indie sewing patterns, which often leads to fitting issues. This garment fitting guide will help you adjust sewing patterns to achieve the perfect fit you desire.

    This fitting book has visual sketches and links to videos to help during each step of the 3-part fitting process.
    Here’s How it Works:
    A) Identify the Fitting Issue.
    B) Pin, Cut, & Tape the Fitting Sample.
    C) Correct the Sewing Pattern.

    The Fitting Book covers the following categories for pattern alterations:

    • Full Bust Adjustments (FBA) – bodice alterations for princess seams, darts, no darts
    • Small Bust Adjustments (SBA) – bodice alterations for princess seams, darts, no darts
    • Armscye and sleeve alterations
    • Front width, back and shoulder pattern adjustments
    • Neckline pattern corrections
    • Basic skirt pattern alterations
    • Dress alterations – Top/bodice adjustments and skirts
    • Fitting pants – this is my specialty and what I am known for in the industry
    • Demystifying draglines (my secret to understanding diagonal draglines in garment fitting)

    You will learn about terminology, abbreviations, pattern tools, and patternmaking supplies. The Fitting Book shows how to use a hip curve, a French curve, and a clear ruler for patternmaking. The pattern corrections can be applied to womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, knit styles, and woven styles. The sketches and photos are in black and white. This is a fitting book primarily with sketches. It is not a pattern drafting book. Finally, you will learn about the customization scale in garment fitting and patternmaking.

    I share my knowledge from fitting tens of thousands of garments while working in the garment industry since 2003. You will learn industry-expert fitting tips to achieve the customized fit you desire.

    If you are one of my 58,000+ followers on Instagram and Facebook, you may have seen my short fitting videos. For all the fitting alterations in this book, there are corresponding simple videos to reference. There are QR codes that can be scanned with a smartphone which direct you to each fitting correction. The videos give you a quick visual of how to do each correction, so you never get stuck.

    Stop wasting your time and money sewing clothes that don’t fit well.

    It’s time to sew the clothes you love that fit.

    On a distant Earth colony, an orphaned survivor of an alien invasion discovers that the greatest world-ending dangers aren’t behind her.

    It’s been eight years since an alien invasion drove a small surviving group of settlers to seek refuge in an underground shelter. Cut off from the rest of humanity, the ragtag band has maintained a narrowly functioning colony due to communal effort and salvage runs. Alex Archer has her own duties as a dog handler. While this off-world colony may be harsh, Ash, Alex’s black shepherd raised to sense threats, makes living in it a little nicer.

    But the tenuous hide-and-seek with the monstrous species known as the Lankies is about to come to an end for Alex and her close-knit crew of soldiers, techs, and friends. When a salvage operation goes catastrophically wrong, the Lankies home in on the humans.

    With hopes of a rescue long faded, all Alex has left is will—and the fear that there’s so much more to lose.

  • Nurse Kitty’s Secret War: A novel inspired by the brave nurses and doctors from the first NHS hospital (Nurse Kitty, 1)

    08

    A novel inspired by the brave nurses and doctors from the first NHS hospital, the Trafford General, opened after the end of World War II. An inspiring and romantic read for fans of Call the Midwife and The Nightingale Girls.

    It’s May 1945 and at 3pm, nurse Kitty Longthorne listens, together with the other surgical staff at South Manchester’s Park Hospital, to Winston Churchill’s broadcast on the radio. Germany has signed a declaration of complete surrender. The war is over in Europe and that day is to be celebrated as VE Day.

    The mood in Park Hospital – still full of wounded American soldiers – is jubilant and hopeful, though Kitty is anything but. Her clandestine squeeze and the man she hopes to marry, James Williams has been giving her the cold shoulder for the last week, and she can’t work out why. Furthermore, her twin brother, Ned, is still missing in action – his last known whereabouts point to him being in a Japanese prisoner of war camp.

    An uplifting, heart-wrenching novel based on the true story of the first ever NHS hospital, for fans of Donna Douglas and Nancy Revell.

    Praise for NURSE KITTY’S SECRET WAR

    A galloping read that conjures up life in a late 1940s hospital, complete with fierce matrons and handsome doctors. Nurse Kitty is a feisty heroine who sticks her neck out to protect her patients, while trying to resolve her own family problems and heal her broken heart. It’s engaging and atmospheric. – Gill Paul

    I’m sure readers will love Nurse Kitty as she struggles to find true love when everything is going against it. I loved the end-of-WW2 setting, which is vividly imagined, and the sheer energy of Maggie Campbell’s pacy prose. A perfect escapist read. – Kitty Danton, author of A Wartime Wish

    ‘Poignant and warm-hearted . . . a tonic for our times.’ – Holly Miller, author of The Sight of You

    At nearly ninety, retired nature writer Hattie Bloom prefers the company of birds to people, but when a fall lands her in a nursing home she struggles to cope with the loss of independence and privacy. From the confines of her ‘room with a view’ – of the car park! – she dreams of escape.

    Fellow ‘inmate’, the gregarious, would-be comedian Walter Clements also plans on returning home as soon as he is fit and able to take charge of his mobility scooter.

    When Hattie and Walter officially meet at The Night Owls, a clandestine club run by Sister Bronwyn and her dog, Queenie, they seem at odds. But when Sister Bronwyn is dismissed over her unconventional approach to aged care, they must join forces – and very slowly, an unlikely, unexpected friendship begins to grow.

    Full of wisdom and warmth, The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home is a gorgeously poignant, hilarious story showing that it is never too late to laugh – or to love.
