    WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MURDER AT THE UNIVERSITY:

    “Really enjoying this series and love Hillary and her team.” Nerys

    “I like Hillary and her team and love the Oxford setting.” Hannelore C.

    “An excellent plot, a well told story and an enjoyable read.” Reader

    THE LOCATION
    Oxford is a city of two halves — town and gown. In the town, you have Cornmarket street full of shops and shoppers that could be found in any city in the country. But Oxford’s ‘dreaming spires’ are the real draw for the tourists, romantics and those with intellectual aspirations to wear the gowns of students and dons. In centuries-old quads, croquet can still be played on lawns as smooth as velvet. Here, ‘New’ College’s walls are actually over 500 years old, and Cotswold stone gleams in even the wateriest of winter sunlight. A city of bicycles, with undergraduates (and fellows) flapping about in faded, black gowns; the Martyrs’ Memorial, and fabled inns where the likes of J.R.R Tolkien sat and wrote about a Hobbit who lived in a hole in the ground. Everywhere you turn, you see history staring back at you. And of course there has always been murder!

    THE DETECTIVE
    DI Hillary Greene
    An attractive woman in her forties, Hillary Greene is a police officer of many years’ experience, and came up through the ranks. Consequently, she knows how the system works, and is fiercely loyal to the force without being blinkered to its faults. She is a long-standing friend of her immediate superior officer, ‘Mellow’ Mallow and enjoys a rather enigmatic relationship with the steely Superintendent Marcus Donleavy. Popular with the rank and file for her no-nonsense attitude and competence.

  • Humankind: A Hopeful History

    08

    THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
    A Guardian, Daily Telegraph, New Statesman and Daily Express Book of the Year

    ‘Hugely, highly and happily recommended’ Stephen Fry
    ‘You should read Humankind. You’ll learn a lot (I did) and you’ll have good reason to feel better about the human race’ Tim Harford
    ‘Made me see humanity from a fresh perspective’ Yuval Noah Harari

    It’s a belief that unites the left and right, psychologists and philosophers, writers and historians. It drives the headlines that surround us and the laws that touch our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Dawkins, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we’re taught, are by nature selfish and governed by self-interest.

    Humankind makes a new argument: that it is realistic, as well as revolutionary, to assume that people are good. By thinking the worst of others, we bring out the worst in our politics and economics too.

    In this major book, internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman takes some of the world’s most famous studies and events and reframes them, providing a new perspective on the last 200,000 years of human history. From the real-life Lord of the Flies to the Blitz, a Siberian fox farm to an infamous New York murder, Stanley Milgram’s Yale shock machine to the Stanford prison experiment, Bregman shows how believing in human kindness and altruism can be a new way to think – and act as the foundation for achieving true change in our society.

    It is time for a new view of human nature.

  • Angela Hartnett’s Cucina: Three Generations of Italian Family Cooking

    08

    With stunning food photography, a foreword from Gordon Ramsay, and 140 evocative and accessible recipes, Cucina by Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett brings the warmth of the Italian family kitchen to your home.

    ‘Angela is a natural cook … Her personality shines through in these recipes, making this book as warm and engaging as Angela herself. This is a book for everybody who shares Angela’s joy for food.’ — Gordon Ramsay
    ‘Anyone who wants to cook good Italian food should buy this book’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘A delight’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘A great book, written with passion’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘I cook again and again from this book’ — ***** Reader review
    ‘Enthralling’ — ***** Reader review

    ***************************************************************************************************
    Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett’s innovative cooking has been commended by reviewers and fellow chefs alike.

    But her real inspiration comes from the food she grew up with – the classic dishes that she learned at her Italian grandmother’s side. This is a unique collection of the family recipes that Angela has nurtured and developed over the years, and a celebration of the fantastic tastes, aromas and textures of Italian cooking that she loved from childhood.

    The freshness and richness of Italy’s food shine through in Angela’s recipes – in traditional rustic dishes like rabbit pappardelle, aubergine parmigiana and wild mushroom risotto. Alongside such classic Italian peasant fayre are refined dishes including spaghetti with lobster, Mackerel tart with olive tapenade and pigeon stuffed with pancetta and dates, and delectable desserts such as Figs in red wine. But, as always for Angela, home is where the heart is, evidenced in the likes of Auntie Rosina’s walnut cake and her mother’s lemon meringue tart.

    This heartfelt and touching cookbook, interwoven with stories from Angela’s unbringing, is a wonderful way to bring a slice of authentic Italy into your home.

  • Cooking for Friends

    08

    TV’s most popular chef, Gordon Ramsay, bridges the gap between his famous chef’s table (situated in the white heat of his restaurant kitchen) and his table at home with Tana and their young family. His latest cookbook is packed with simple, seasonal, modern British recipes.

    Gordon lives life in the fast lane, travelling the world to foster his many hugely successful business enterprises and to film his highly acclaimed TV series. But, despite the commitments of a busy work life, he has always believed that families should sit around their tables to eat together as much as possible.

    His latest cookbook gathers together over 100 inspiring and well-constructed recipes which everyone will enjoy cooking for their friends and family, including Chorizo, broad bean and mint couscous, Scallop brochettes with coriander and chilli butter, Smoked salmon and horseradish cream tarts and Toffee and chocolate steamed pudding.

    The recipes embody Gordon’s strongly held opinion that we should support local producers and farmers’ markets, that we should cook with seasonal fresh ingredients which haven’t travelled miles to reach our plates and that we should celebrate the wealth of regional dishes available to us from Cornish crab soup to Bakewell tarts.

    Gordon shares the dishes that he loves to cook (and eat) when he’s off duty. With chapters covering Hot and Cold Soups; Pasta and Grains; Fish and Shellfish; Meat and Poultry; Pies and Tarts; Vegetables and Salads; Puddings and Ices and Coffee and Chocolate, each recipe is introduced with an insight into why he has chosen it and includes tips on how to re-create it perfectly. With emphasis on simplicity for stunning results, the majority of the recipes are short and easy to cook.

    This beautiful book has been created by one of Britain’s top designers, in tandem with an amazing young photographer. While food is king in this book, sprinkled as it is with candid photos of Gordon and the family, Cooking for Friends allows you to share his love of life and the good things in it.

  • The Disasters of War (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)

    08

    The strikingly original characterizations and sharply drawn scenes that came to be known posthumously as Los Desastres de la Guerra (The Disasters of War) are among Francisco Goya’s most powerful works and one of the masterpieces of Western civilization. Goya’s model for his visual indictment of war and its horrors was the Spanish insurrection of 1808 and the resulting Peninsular War with Napoleonic France. The bloody conflict and the horrible famine of Madrid were witnessed by Goya himself, or were revealed to him from the accounts of friends and contemporaries. From 1810 to 1820, he worked to immortalize them in a series of etchings.
    The artist himself never saw the results. The etchings were not published until 1863, some 35 years after his death. By then, the passions of the Napoleonic era had subsided and the satirical implications in Goya’s work were less likely to offend. The Dover edition reproduces in its original size the second state of this first edition, which contained 80 prints. Three additional prints not in the 1863 edition are also included here, making this the most complete collection possible of the etchings Goya intended for this series. The bitter, biting captions are reprinted, along with the new English translations, as are the original title page and preface.

  • The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music

    08
    From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes an inspiring parable of music, life, and the difference between playing all the right notes…and feeling them.

    The Music Lesson is the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning…All you have to do is find the song inside.

    “The best book on music (and its connection to the mystic laws of life) that I’ve ever read. I learned so much on every level.”―Multiple Grammy Award–winning saxophonist Michael Brecker

    In this book, you will get:

    🎄 45 EASY CHRISTMAS SONGS FOR BEGINNERS — All songs have been arranged especially for beginning students. This means that all complex chords and rhythms have been simplified. Also, all the carols are kept relatively short, only one or two pages long. This will allow you to enter the magic world of piano without frustration.
    🔥 INTERNATIONAL CHRISTMAS SONGS – In this book you will find many well-known Christmas carols and holiday songs, as well as some international songs famous in non-English speaking countries. This varied selection of easy sheet music will fuel your enjoyment when practicing the piano.
    ❄️ FROM EASIEST TO HARDEST – Are you tired of searching for piano pieces with the appropriate difficulty? At the beginning of this book, you will find very simple songs, and then they gradually get more challenging as the book progresses. This will keep you motivated and enable you to progress through the levels.
    👼 WITH LETTERS AND NUMBERS – All songs in this book are presented with letters above the music notes to help you know what keys to press. All songs also include finger placements (numbers) in problem areas.
    🎅🏻 LARGE PRINT – Most music notes for beginners are pretty small, so learners struggle to read them without squinting. To avoid this, all songs in this book have a clear layout and large print for students to follow the pieces easily.
    ☃️ NOTES FOR BOTH HANDS – Most easy piano pieces for beginners have notes for practicing one hand only. The proper technique, however, is playing with all fingers and both hands. That’s why all pieces in this book are in both treble and bass clef (i.e., both right and left hand).
    🎁 BONUS: FREE AUDIO FILES TO DOWNLOAD – Do you want to get an idea of what a piece should sound like? If you are unsure how to play a piece, our audio files will help you get a feel for the melody.

    Buy this book NOW and enter the splendid world of piano and music!
