  • The Dirty Tricks Department: The Untold Story of the Real-life Q Branch, the Masterminds of Second World War Secret Warfare

    In the summer of 1942, Stanley Lovell, a renowned industrial chemist, received a mysterious order to report to an unfamiliar building in Washington, D.C. When he arrived, he was led to a barren room where he waited to meet the man who had summoned him. After a disconcerting amount of time, William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan, the head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), walked in the door. ‘You know your Sherlock Holmes, of course,’ Donovan said as an introduction. ‘Professor Moriarty is the man I want for my staff… I think you’re it.’

    Following this life-changing encounter, Lovell became the head of a secret group of scientists who developed dirty tricks for the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. Their inventions included Bat Bombs, suicide pills, fighting knives, silent pistols, and camouflaged explosives. Moreover, they forged documents for undercover agents, plotted the assassination of foreign leaders, and performed truth drug experiments on unsuspecting subjects.

    Based on extensive archival research and personal interviews, The Dirty Tricks Department tells the story of these scheming scientists, explores the moral dilemmas that they faced, and reveals their dark legacy of directly inspiring the most infamous program in CIA history: MKULTRA.

  • The Frontier Sea: The Napoleonic Wars in the Adriatic

    01
    Most of the great powers contested the lands around the Adriatic Sea during the Napoleonic wars. While never a major theatre of operations, it was part of the overall strategy of most of the combatants. It had an essential role in the conflict, influencing alliances and diverting troops and ships, which all contributed to the defeat of Napoleon. It was also a period of significant change, with the French and British intervening in a region that had long been a battleground reserved for the Austrian, Russian and Ottoman empires.

    This book examines the campaigns, armies, navies and personalities that fought in the region between 1797 and 1815. Campaigns rarely mentioned in the history of the period. Austrian, French, Russian, British, and their foreign regiments fought up and down the coast, sometimes with or against local leaders like Peter I of Montenegro and Ali Pasha of Ioannina. Many commanders were far from home, with orders taking weeks to reach them. This meant even junior officers could take military and diplomatic decisions usually reserved for more senior officers.

    This is a story of strategy and small wars with many colourful personalities playing their part in a fascinating, if violent, tale against the backdrop of the frontier sea.

  • The Ecstasy of Being: Mythology and Dance (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell)

    01
    Joseph Campbell’s collected writings on dance and art, edited and introduced by Nancy Allison, CMA, the founder of Jean Erdman Dance, and including Campbell’s unpublished manuscript “Mythology and Form in the Performing and Visual Arts,” the book he was working on when he died.

    Dance was one of mythologist Joseph Campbell’s wide-ranging passions. His wife, Jean Erdman, was a leading figure in modern dance who worked with Martha Graham and had Merce Cunningham in her first company. When Campbell retired from teaching in 1972, he and Erdman formed the Theater of the Open Eye, where for nearly fifteen years they presented a wide array of dance and theater productions, lectures, and performance pieces.

    The Ecstasy of Being brings together seven of Campbell’s previously uncollected articles on dance, along with “Mythology and Form in the Performing and Visual Arts,” the treatise that he was working on when he died, published here for the first time.

    In this new collection Campbell explores the rise of modern art and dance in the twentieth century; delves into the work and philosophy of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and others; and, as always, probes the idea of art as “the funnel through which spirit is poured into life.” This book offers the reader an accessible, yet profound and provocative, insight into Campbell’s lifelong fascination with the relationship of myth to aesthetic form and human psychology.

  • Dances: A Novel

    01
    A ballerina at the height of her powers becomes consumed with finding her missing brother in this “striking debut” (Oprah Daily).

    “A compelling novel about the spiritual and bodily costs of the dogged pursuit of art.”—Raven Leilani, author of Luster

    At twenty-two years old, Cece Cordell reaches the pinnacle of her career as a ballet dancer when she’s promoted to principal at the New York City Ballet. She’s instantly catapulted into celebrity, heralded for her “inspirational” role as the first Black ballerina in the famed company’s history. Even as she celebrates the achievement of a lifelong dream, Cece remains haunted by the feeling that she doesn’t belong. As she waits for some feeling of rightness that doesn’t arrive, she begins to unravel the loose threads of her past—an absent father, a pragmatic mother who dismisses Cece’s ambitions, and a missing older brother who stoked her childhood love of ballet but disappeared to deal with his own demons.

    Soon after her promotion, Cece is faced with a choice that has the potential to derail her career and shatter the life she’s cultivated for herself, sending her on a pilgrimage to both find her brother and reclaim the parts of herself lost in the grinding machinery of the traditional ballet world.

    Written with spellbinding beauty and ballet’s precise structure, Dances centers around women, art, and power, and how we come to define freedom for ourselves.

  • Elizabeth & Margaret: The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters

    08

    The first in-depth dual-biography of Elizabeth & Margaret, written by the bestselling royal biographer, Andrew Morton.

    They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends.

    But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward VIII decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more, Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called ‘Lillibet’. And bow to her wishes.

    Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister’s antics with a kind of stoical amusement but Margaret’s struggle to find a place and position inside the royal system – and her fraught relationship with its expectations – was often a source of tension. Famously, the Queen had to inform Margaret that the Church and government would not countenance her marrying a divorcee, Group Captain Peter Townsend, forcing Margaret to choose between keeping her title and royal allowances or her divorcee lover.

    From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through their hidden wartime lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father’s death and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship over the years. Andrew Morton, renowned bestselling author of Diana: Her True Story, offers unique insight into these two drastically different sisters – one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other resistant to it – and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family and the way it has adapted to the changing mores of the twentieth century.

  • Too Few Too Far: The True Story of a Royal Marine Commando

    08
    British Commando George Thomsen’s action-filled account of combat during the Falklands War. Seen through the eyes of Section Commander George Thomsen, this inspiring first-hand account, tells of the tension-packed lead up, and the heroic stand, by a tiny band of brothers on one of the most inhospitable islands on the planet – South Georgia. They fought alone – besieged, isolated, and against an overwhelming invasion force – and yet had the enemy reeling on the ropes. This is the story of true British grit, sheer bloody-mindedness, professionalism and ingenuity. The Royal Marines’ courageous action on that extraordinary day changed the balance of the South Atlantic war. This was a modern-day Rorke’s Drift when world events literally took too few too far. Twenty-five years after these events took place, this is George Thomsen’s true story, as told to Malcolm Angel.

  • Monasteriales Indicia: Anglo-Saxon Monastic Sign-language

    01
    This is one of the very few texts which let us see how life was really lived in monasteries in the early Middle Ages. Written in Old English and preserved in a manuscript of the mid-eleventh century, it consists of 127 signs used by Anglo-Saxon monks during times when the Benedictine Rule forbade them to speak. These indicate the food the monks ate, the clothes they wore, and the books they used in church and chapter, as well as the tools they used in their daily life, and persons they might meet both in the monastery and outside. The text is printed here with a parallel translation. The introduction gives a summary of the background, both historical and textual, as well as a brief look at the later evidence for monastic sign language in England. Extensive notes provide details of textual relationships, explore problems of interpretation, and set out the historical implications of the text.

  • The Sea Witch: A Grimoire of Ocean Magick

    02
    The Sea Witch: A Grimoire of Ocean Magick is a compendium of sea based witchcraft for those who feel drawn to the element of water, in particular the great ocean.

    The Sea Witch provides an overview of the folklore of the sea, oceanic deity and the spirit archetypes of the marine dwelling creatures that inhabit the waters. In addition to the multitude of spells from binding, blessing, prosperity and love drawing, an explanation of seashell divination, known as conchomancy, is also included. Learn to cast the sea shells, or even discover the magick of mermaid runes, a unique divination system that introduces a runic system for sea witches.

    A type of book of shadows for sea witches, this grimoire is a resource that you can draw from to create your own ‘book of tides’ (a sea witch equivalent to a book of shadows).

    This eclectic curated offering of knowledge of sea magick is ideal for beginner witches, or those who wish to explore sea witchcraft.

    Excerpt from Sea Witch: A Grimoire of Ocean Magick-
    “The Ocean, with its vast, unknowable beauty is alluring and mysterious. Wide horizons beckon adventurers with the promise of freedom, whilst merely dipping your toes into the foamy, shallow shore is deeply restorative. The steady ebb and flow of the waves keeps the rhythm of a heartbeat; comforting in its assurance that you are not alone. The sea has captivated mankind since antiquity, and it’s no wonder we are drawn to this marvelous beauty, a liminal space where earth meets water. To merely behold the ocean is to be awestruck by its magnitude as it is a tangible representation of the universe as a living, energetic thing. We are able to receive a rich, sensory encounter when we spend time by the water; the ocean shifts continuously, waves break upon the sand, as the tides move in and out. We see the effect of the wind on the water, causing ripples and tumultuous waves. Inhaling deeply provides an olfactory experience like no other as salt and sea mingle to create a distinctive, marine aroma. Burying our feet in the sand can help us feel rooted in the earthly element of the beach, whilst the white noise of crashing waves is soothing to the psyche.”

  • Went to London, Took the Dog: A Diary: From the Prize-winning Author of Love, Nina

    08

    ‘Painfully funny, but also deeply moving’ – Meg Mason

    ‘Vulnerable, sharp, funny, wise’ – Bonnie Garmus

    ‘A unique comic voice, endlessly funny’ – David Nicholls

    Twenty years after leaving London, Nina Stibbe is back in town with her dog, Peggy. Together they take up lodging in the house of writer Deborah (Debby) Moggach in Camden for ‘a year-long sabbatical’. It’s a break from married life back in Cornwall, or even perhaps a fresh start altogether.

    Debby does not have many demands – only to water the garden, watch for toads, and defrost the odd pie – so Nina is free to explore the city she once called home. Between scrutinising her son’s online dating developments, navigating the politics of the local pool, and taking detergent advice at the laundrette, this diary of a sixty-year-old runaway reunites us with the inimitable voice of Love, Nina, as the writer becomes, as she puts it, ‘a proper adult’ at last.

    As heard on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour

    ‘An utter, UTTER treat! It was like spending time with my most clever, insightful, funny, FUNNY friend’ – Marian Keyes

  • You’ll Forget This Ever Happened: Secrets, Shame, and Adoption in the 1960s

    01
    Mississippi, 1967. It’s the Summer of Love, yet unwed mothers’ maternity homes are flourishing, secret closed adoptions are routine, and many young women still have no voice.

    In You’ll Forget This Ever Happened, Laura Engel takes us back to the Deep South during the turbulent 1960s to explore the oppression of young women who have committed the socially unacceptable crime of becoming pregnant without a ring on their finger. After being forced to give up her newborn son for adoption, Engel lives inside a fortress of silent shame for fifty years—but when her secret son finds her and her safe world is cracked open, those walls crumble.

    Are you still a mother even if you have not raised your child? Can the mother/child bond survive years of separation? How deep is the damage caused by buried family secrets and shame? Engel asks herself these and many other questions as she becomes acquainted with the son she never knew, and seeks the acceptance and forgiveness she has long denied herself. Full of both aching sadness and soaring joy, You’ll Forget This Ever Happened is a shocking exposé of a shameful part of our country’s recent past—and a poignant tale of a mother’s enduring love.

  • So You’ve Adopted a Sibling: A big sister’s survival guide for big brothers and sisters through adoption of a younger child or baby | Adoption shower … Kinship Care and…

    02
    From the author of award-winning foster care and adoption books Delly Duck, Room in the Nest and other adoption, fostering and kinship care children’s stories, comes an adorably-illustrated story to help elder siblings to adjust to a new sibling joining their family by adoption.

    So You’ve Adopted a Sibling features charming illustrations from Marlow’s daughter, a real 5 year old big sister. The engaging story is told in the voice of a young child who is enjoying being a big sister through adoption, and shares her top tips for other children who have a younger brother or sister who has joined their family through adoption. The story touches upon some of the emotions and changes to routine that children may experience in the early months as a big brother or sister.

    Marlow is a biological and adoptive mother, and understands the challenges faced by parents who adopt after having a biological child. Most children have an established routine by the time they move to their adoptive family, and one of the primary goals of the adoptive family is to try to minimise the changes to this routine during transitions, to help the adopted child to settle in. Marlow found that this meant that there were quite a lot of changes to her biological daughter’s routines, so they worked together to write this story to help other parents to support their children through this.

    This story is suitable for birth/biological children, as well as elder siblings who were adopted/placed in an adoptive family themselves prior to their younger sibling joining the family.

    Praise for Delly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn’t Stay With His Birth Mother

    “One of the best Adoption books of all time” – BookAuthority

    “…a beautifully illustrated children’s story book, explaining big issues like adoption and fostering, in an age appropriate way.” – We Made A Wish adoption magazine

    “…Delly Duck is a great choice for adopted and fostered children to explain adoption or support therapeutic life story work. The book can be used to help answer difficult and emotive questions…” – Maggie and Rose Book Adventurers

    “A fantastic book for Parents, Foster Parents, Adoptive Parents, Legal Guardians, Kinship Carers, Social Workers, Play Therapists or Teachers… I can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is adopting, fostering, or is a child’s Legal Guardian… I love the way the book shows the love, and loss of the birth parent, and highlights the fact that sometimes a birth parent is simply not equipped with the necessary skills to keep their child safe consistently.
    This beautiful, sensitively written story explains why a child may need to be removed from their birth parent, and explores in a gentle way the emotions felt by parent and child, and the roles other people play in protecting the child, and offering the child a loving, safe environment…” – Icing on the Bake

  • Adopting A Little Brother or Sister: A big sister’s guide to adoption for a child becoming a big sibling through adoption of a younger child or baby … Kinship Care and Special…

    06
    From the author of award-winning foster care and adoption books, Delly Duck and Room in the Nest,and her talented daughter, Zoe.

    Adopting A Little Brother or Sister features charming illustrations from a 5 year old big sister. The engaging story is told in the voice of a young child who is excited to be a big sister through adoption and shares her top tips for other future brothers and sisters going through the process of adoption from foster care. The story touches upon social worker visits and the introductions process with the foster family, as well as highlighting some of the frustrations a child may have with the process, (such as how slow it feels) and the things a young child may find fun about adopting (such as the child being already old enough to play, unlike a newborn).

    This story is suitable for birth/biological children, as well as elder siblings who were adopted themselves.
