• Tank Craft 2: Sherman Tanks British Army and Royal Marines Normandy Campaign 1944

    08
    With production in excess of 55,000 the Sherman tank was eventually in service with most Allied armies of the Second World War and by the time of the Normandy landings was the mainstay of Britain’s armoured battalions. In his second book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses wartime photos and extensively researched, exquisitely presented colour illustrations to cover the Sherman tanks used by the units of the Royal Armoured Corps and the Royal Marines during the fighting in northern France. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained as is the complex system of markings employed by British armoured regiments. This book will give the modeller all the information and knowledge required to recreate an authentic miniature representation of the tanks that fought from the beaches of Normandy, through the battles for Caen and on to killing fields of Falaise.

  • Sign Language: Travels in Unfortunate English from the Readers of The Daily Telegraph (Telegraph Books)

    08

    A hilarious tour of the state of our mother tongue, from the people who brought you Am I Alone In Thinking . . . ?, Sign Language is a collection the most inappropriate, confusing, poorly translated and mind-bogglingly bizarre signs from around the world.

    Few things amuse and appal Telegraph readers as much as the abuse, misuse, mistranslation and outright mangling of the English language. So, for the past three years the Telegraph has run a weekly feature inviting members of the public to send in photographs of menus, health and safety warnings, road signs, adverts, headlines and personals columns – anything in which the language has gone egregiously, hilariously and, usually, unintentionally wrong.

    Entitled Sign Language, the published selection of the very best images has become one of the newspaper’s most popular features, attracting over 300,000 online visitors every week and attracting thousands of submissions from around the world.

    Now, we present the very best of Sign Language – both seen and unseen – and offer a timely warning about the imperilled state of modern English.

  • Signs of Health: A Pocket Medical Sign Language Guide (Let’s Sign BSL)

    08
    2016 KINDLE EDITION – NEW DEVELOPMENTS

    Since Signs of Health was first published in 1999 the situation for many Deaf patients and those with special communication needs in health care settings remains little changed.

    The printed version of this book has proved extremely valuable to carers and medical staff, many of whom may be in contact with Deaf BSL (British Sign Language) users for the first time. BSL signs are also now increasingly used to support spoken communication (Sign Supported English, or SSE) with people with learning disability and additional speech and communication needs.

    Professional interpreters/communicators provide vital services when sign language users require medical care. To further support the individual needs of patients, this book aims to assist communication in the everyday procedures and patient comfort that can help reassure those in health settings that needs are not overlooked – the sign vocabulary covers general care and comfort rather than medical terms per se which are more appropriately dealt with by interpreting professionals.

    The contents have stood the test of time and we now wish to increase accessibility by publishing in this Kindle format – for instant download and easy reference on the go.

    The pages are in textbook fixed format to keep the text with the relevant pictures – with built-in notebook, flashcard capability, multicolour highlighting, dictionary, wiki and translation links – for kindle device or tablet and smart phone, Mac and PCs using the free Kindle reader apps.

    Contains 250 illustrated signs and an innovative section explaining the use of BSL classifying handshapes for on the spot help in clarifying procedures.

    The background introduction gives a very succinct and clear introduction to the language implications for sign language users in medical settings.

    The development of mobile applications opens up many new possibilities for improving care and communication. Learners can be further supported by our LET’S SIGN BSL publications. We welcome your feedback in planning any future materials.

    The original 25 signs covered basic needs and this second edition includes an additional 22 signs that have been suggested by deaf dog owners. They are presented one sign per page, clear and simple in flashcard format. This edition is printed in black and white as a more cost-effective way of including more content and is also available on Kindle – ideal for smart phone and tablet.

    In addition to extra signs, this edition also contains Holly’s Story – a touching glimpse of a sweet natured dog and her adoptive family, who took Holly in when she was unloved and unwanted.

    There are widely accepted hand signals that are used with hearing dogs. The signs contained in this booklet are aimed at owners and trainers who would like to use or adapt BSL signs for their deaf dogs and also be recognised by deaf adults that use British Sign Language too.

  • 438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea

    08

    The incredible true survival story of one man’s record-breaking fourteen months lost at sea.

    On 17th November, 2012, Salvador Alvarenga left the coast of Mexico for a two-day fishing trip. A vicious storm killed his engine and the current dragged his boat out to sea. The storm picked up and carried him West, deeper into the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Alvarenga would not touch solid ground again for fourteen months. When he was washed ashore on January 30th, 2014, he had drifted over 9,000 miles.

    Three dozen cruise ships and container vessels passed nearby. Not one stopped for the stranded fisherman. He considered suicide on multiple occasions – including offering himself up to a pack of circling sharks. But Alvarenga developed a method of survival that kept his body and mind intact long enough for the Pacific Ocean to spit him up onto a remote palm-studded island. Crawling ashore, he was saved by a local couple living in their own private castaway paradise.

    Based on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to normality, 438 Days by Jonathan Franklin is an epic tale of survival and one man’s incredible story of beating the ultimate odds.

    As the waves crash against the boat, Nicole wonders if the island will be as magical as she remembers… Will it offer her the new beginning she’s been searching for?

    When Nicole finds herself in need of a new start, she instantly thinks of Morwen Island. She remembers the beautiful, remote place from her student days and, as she thinks of its cobbled streets and salty sea air, she wonders if this might be the place where she can begin again…

    As she settles into island life, Nicole begins to feel like her old self. And when a knock on her cottage door brings handsome local Josh, who she remembers from her time on the island, she is instantly attracted to his charming smile. With their shared passion for the island’s wildlife, they spend more time together, and soon Nicole finds it hard to ignore her growing feelings. But is her fragile heart ready to embrace the possibility of love once more?

    When Josh suggests they investigate the supposedly haunted old house where Nicole lived as a student, she is forced to put her feelings for him to one side. She recalls the past heartache she felt there all too well and, as she looks up at the crumbling old building, she wonders whether the locals are right. Does the house still have secrets to hide?

    As she explores, Nicole learns about the women who lived there during the Second World War, a long-forgotten family secret, and a loss that will break her heart…

    As Nicole pieces together what really happened during the war, she feels a stronger pull to the island than ever before. Will she be able to uncover what became of the women who lived in the old house? And, if she does, will she learn from their story, and open her heart to a new life with her one true love on Morwen Island?

  • Between the Chalk and the Sea: A journey on foot into the past

    08

    ‘I loved this memoir’ – Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path

    ‘A whole new way of looking at a familiar landscape’ – Neil Ansell, author of The Last Wilderness

    ‘Delightful’ – Country Life

    An old map. A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.

    When Henry VIII banned pilgrimage in 1538, he ended not only a centuries-old tradition of walking as an act of faith, but a valuable chance to discover the joy of walking as an escape from the burdens of everyday life.

    Much was lost when these journeys faded from our collective memory, but clues to our past remain. On an antique map in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, a faint red line threading through towns and villages between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.

    Described as England’s Camino, this long-distance footpath carves through one of the nation’s most iconic landscapes – one that links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports.

    Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. In the age of the car, what does it mean to embrace ‘slow travel’? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? In an age when walking connects the nation, can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?

    Winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, Gail ventures deep into our past, exploring this lost path and telling a story of kings and knights, peasants and pilgrims, of ancient folklore and modern politics. Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail’s walk along the Old Way reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

    A Wall Street Journal bestselling series. A deep diving investigator is pulled into the depths of a string of unsolved serial murders in a riveting thriller by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Sea Storm.

    When a young woman washes ashore on a Fort Lauderdale beach, Sloan McPherson of the Underwater Investigation Unit is called in to consult. Sloan’s instinct says murder, but even then, there are too many questions.

    For answers she reaches out to Gwen Wylder. The Miami homicide detective is notorious for being manipulative, bitter, a tyrant to her peers, and wicked smart. And she demands something in return from Sloan: fresh insight into seemingly unrelated cold-case murders and disappearances—and a possible serial killer trolling the Florida coast.

    As loose ends of the old files begin to come together, another woman disappears. Sloan and Gwen are certain she’s the newest link in a deadly chain. They are determined to track her down before she dies, but they soon find themselves in uncharted waters. And the deeper Sloan and Gwen go, the stranger the case gets.

    08
    AS FEATURED IN SEASPIRACY

    An Observer Book of the Year 2017

    A Sunday Times must read

    A New York Times Bestseller

    Endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama – ‘Balcombe vividly shows that fish have feelings and deserve consideration and protection like other sentient beings’

    What’s the truth behind the old adage that goldfish have a three-second memory? Do fishes think? Can they recognize the humans who peer back at them from above the surface of the water? Myth-busting biologist and animal behaviour expert Jonathan Balcombe takes us under the sea, through streams and estuaries to the other side of the aquarium glass to answer these questions and more. He upends our assumptions, revealing that fish are far from the unfeeling, dead-eyed feeding machines so many of us assume them to be. They are, in fact, sentient, aware, social and even Machiavellian – in other words, rather like us.

    What a Fish Knows draws on the latest science to present a fresh look at these remarkable creatures in all their breathtaking diversity and beauty. Teeming with insights and exciting discoveries, it offers a thoughtful appraisal of our relationships with fish and inspires us to take a more enlightened view of the planet’s increasingly imperilled marine life. What a Fish Knows will forever change how we see our aquatic cousins – the pet goldfish included.

    When falling in love is the punchline . . .

    Farley Jones is a loud, chaotic, and hilariously clever standup comedian on the way to stardom. The only thing she loves more than the rush of telling jokes in front of a revved-up audience is her hot older manager Meyer, though he doesn’t have a clue. Keeping her feelings hidden from him is agony, but Meyer has been Farley’s closest and most treasured friend, not to mention vital to the trajectory of her career. She can’t risk ruining their relationship by telling him how she truly feels. After all, who else would have the patience to put up with a hot mess like her?

    A former standup star himself, single father Meyer Harrigan left the stage years ago in order to focus on raising his deaf daughter Hazel. Farley has been everything to them since she came into their lives three years ago, and despite his grumpiness, his protectiveness over Hazel, and his disdain for public attention, Meyer will do anything to make her standup dreams come true.

    When the biggest opportunity of Farley’s career comes along and forces the pair to fake-date in order to stir up publicity, it doesn’t take long for their act to bring all those other funny feelings out into the open. Like most matters of the heart, it quickly begins to feel like anything but a joke.

  • Five Gold Rings: A totally hilarious and unforgettable Christmas rom-com

    08

    “Obsessed… read in one day… One of the best rom-coms I’ve ever read.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Five gold rings. Delivered to the wrong addresses. Five Christmas proposals and weddings ruined. Unless Eve can save the day…?

    As Christmas lights twinkle around London, twenty-eight-year-old Eve arrives home ready to celebrate her favourite holiday, only to find… her boyfriend in the shower with a pretty blonde.

    Heartbroken, Eve throws the gifts she’s selflessly bought and wrapped for HIS family out of the window, then heads to Caspars’ Jeweller’s, where she works, for some tea and sympathy.

    But there she discovers another drama unfolding; five rings have gone AWOL, and unless she can track them down and deliver them to their rightful owners five perfectly planned festive weddings and proposals will end in disaster.

    Eve’s colleague Joe – moonlighting as a naked butler at a Christmas party – races to assist on her wild goose chase across London, dressed as a sexy elf.

    Together they set off on a mission to save Christmas. And along the way, just maybe, some of that festive cheer and romance might rub off on Eve and Joe, and help heal Eve’s broken heart…

    An utterly hilarious novel for anyone looking for festive romance with all the feels. If you have a hot date with Love Actually every Christmas you will adore this gloriously funny and unmissable festive read.

  • Tackle!: Let the sabotage and scandals begin in the new instant Sunday Times bestseller

    08

    ‘A giddy, sexy, exuberant romp of a story…a total tonic, offering the sort of glorious escapism we’re all desperately in need of’ – Daisy Buchanan

    ‘Won’t disappoint her many fans: bonking, balls and Campbell-Black. All present and incorrect’ – Ian Rankin

    ‘Bursting with fun, puns, and shenanigans’ – Jill Mansell

    —————————————

    Jilly Cooper’s legendary hero returns!

    Rupert Campbell-Black, all-conquering racehorse owner-trainer and handsomest man in England, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy. His beloved leading stallion has been assassinated.

    Now his daughter Bianca is badgering him to buy into a failing local football club, Searston Rovers, so he can sign up her superstar striker boyfriend, Feral Jackson, and he and Bianca can return home from Perth to look after Taggie.

    Rupert dislikes football and his first impressions of Searston are distinctly unfavourable. But as their new and indelibly competitive Chairman, he won’t stand for anything less than an Everest climb to the top of the Premier League.

    With the help of the club’s ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, and his sassy Press Officer, Dora Belvedon, he becomes increasingly fond of his riotous mix of players, despite bawling them out whenever they face defeat.

    Rupert’s explosive arrival at Searston causes outrage, so the fights are as furious off the field as on – particularly when glamorous WAGS flood in to stir up trouble and lust after Rupert…

    Nor do the rival local football team, their duplicitous chairman and their corrupt dealings make things easier – let the scandals, sabotage and seductions begin…

  • The Real Stanley Baxter

    08

    Stanley Baxter delighted over 20 million viewers at a time with his television specials. His pantos became legendary. His divas and dames were so good they were beyond description.

    Baxter was a most brilliant cowboy Coward, a smouldering Dietrich. He found immense laughs as Formby and Liberace. And his sex-starved Tarzan swung in a way Hollywood could never have imagined. But who is the real Stanley Baxter?

    The comedy actor’s talents are matched only by his past reluctance to colour in the detail of his own character. Now, the man behind the mischievous grin, the twinkling eyes and the once- Brylcreemed coiffure is revealed.

    In a tale of triumphs and tragedies, of giant laughs and great falls from grace, we discover that while the enigmatic entertainer could play host to hundreds of different voices, the role he found most difficult to play was that of Stanley Baxter.

  • The Plot: The Political Assassination of Boris Johnson

    08

    ‘A riveting read that skips along at pace. Illuminating and concerning, it lifts the lid on the tawdry world of Westminster powerbroking’ Tim Shipman, The Times

    The explosive behind-the-scenes account of the plot to bring down Boris Johnson

    YOU THINK YOU LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THE ELECTED ARE CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE.

    THINK AGAIN.

    When Boris Johnson came to power in 2019, he did so with the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher. Rewriting the political map, he united a party and shattered Labour’s fabled red wall. And yet, just three years later, he was ousted by the same members who had once greeted his leadership so rapturously.

    What had gone so wrong?

    The Plot is the seismic, fly-on-the-wall account of how the saviour of the Conservative Party became a pariah. Told with unparalleled access, from multiple inside sources talking with astonishing candour, it reveals the shocking truth about powerful forces operating behind the scenes in the heart of Westminster and those who became the architects of a Prime Minister’s downfall.

    This is the story of a damning trail of treachery and deceit fuelled by an obsessive pursuit of power, which threatens to topple the very fabric of our democracy.
