Monet: The Restless Vision
A magnificent new biography of the founder of Impressionism
In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Misunderstood and mocked at the beginning of his career, he risked everything to pursue his original vision. Although close to starvation when he invented impressionism on the banks of the Seine in the 1860s-70s, in the following decades he emerged as the powerful leader of the new painting in Paris at one of its most exciting cultural moments. His symphonic series Haystacks, Poplars, and Rouen Cathedral brought wealth and renown. Then he withdrew to paint only the pond in his garden. The late Water Lilies, ignored during his lifetime, are now celebrated as pioneers of twentieth century modernism.
Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger’s enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet’s turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. He was as obsessional in his love affairs as in his love of nature, and changed his art decisively three times when the woman at the centre of his life changed. Enduring devastating bereavements, he pushed the frontier of painting inward, to evoke memory and the passing of time. His work also responded intensely to outside cataclysms – the Dreyfus Affair, the First World War. Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau was his closest friend. Rich intellectual currents connected him to writers from Zola to Proust; affection and rivalry to Renoir, Pissarro and Manet.
Monet said he was driven ‘wild with the need to put down what I experience’. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

Rugby: An Anthology: The Brave, the Bruised and the Brilliant
Inspiring and irreverent by turns, Brian Levison’s new anthology has drawn on rugby’s wealth of excellent writing. Frank Keating, P. G. Wodehouse, Alec Waugh, A. A. Thomson, John Reason and Mick Imlah are among the distinguished names who have written movingly, amusingly and entertainingly about the game they loved.
Great players such as Brian O’Driscoll, Willie John McBride, J. P. R. Williams, Chester Williams, Colin Meads, Gavin Hastings and Brian Moore give us a fascinating insider’s view, as does World Cup Final referee Derek Bevan, who reveals what it is like to try to control thirty powerful and often volatile men in a highly competitive situation. But some of the best writing and the wittiest insights come from those who played their rugby at a much less exalted level.
The origins of the game – sometimes true, sometimes fanciful – are explored as are some of its rituals like the haka. There are amusing tales including that of the four Tibetan boys sent by the Dalai Lama to learn the game at Rugby School and an account of New Zealand scrum-half Chris Laidlaw’s hostile reception at a village fête in Wales. Along with barely believable stories about the game’s hardest men, including the French coach Jean ‘le Sultan’ Sébédio, who used to conduct training sessions wearing a sombrero and wielding a long whip, and ‘Red’ Conway who had his finger amputated rather than miss a game for South Africa.
One section ‘Double Vision’ looks at the same incident from opposing viewpoints, such as when the then relatively inexperienced Irish immortal Willie John McBride took a swing at the mighty All Black Colin Meads in a line-out. Another, ‘Giving it Everything’, shows how exceptional courage was not restricted to the rugby field but extended to the battle grounds of the First World War.
From the compiler of highly acclaimed All in a Day’s Cricket, this selection covers the game from virtually every angle and is sure to delight any rugby fan.

Rugby: Talking A Good Game: The Perfect Gift for Rugby Fans
Ian Robertson joined the BBC during the golden age of radio broadcasting and was given a crash course in the art of sports commentary from some of the greatest names ever to sit behind a microphone: Cliff Morgan and Peter Bromley, Bryon Butler and John Arlott. Almost half a century after being introduced to the rugby airwaves by his inspiring mentor Bill McLaren, the former Scotland fly-half looks back on the most eventful of careers, during which he covered nine British and Irish Lions tours and eight World Cups, including the 2003 tournament that saw England life the Webb Ellis Trophy and “Robbo” pick up awards for his spine-tingling description of Jonny Wilkinson’s decisive drop goal.
He reflects on his playing days, his role in guiding Cambridge University to a long spell of Varsity Match supremacy and his relationships with some of the union code’s most celebrated figures, including Sir Clive Woodward and Jonah Lomu. He also writes vividly and hilariously of his experiences as a horse racing enthusiast, his meetings with some of the world’s legendary golfers and his dealings with a stellar cast of sporting outsiders, from Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor to Nelson Mandela. It is a hugely entertaining story that begins in a bygone rugby age, yet has much to say about the game in the here and now.

Rugby! Be the best ‘You’ you can be!: Using the Rugby mindset for a positive and successful life
‘Rugby! Be the best `You` you can be!’, is about personal and professional development through the mindset of the Rugby player. We are all very different, but we all want to succeed and ultimately be happy. This book is a philosophy of improvement using Rugby Union as the mentor. When we want to improve ourselves on a personal level, we think about getting a `life coach`, and when we want to improve ourselves on a professional level, we think about getting a `mentor`. When we are looking to improve ourselves as a team, we go on `teambuilding exercises`. Rugby is all about personal and professional improvement and above all, teamwork! Life is the ultimate team sport! No matter who we are, we all have people we rely on, or that rely on us. Whether we have friends, family, students, teachers, clients, suppliers, employers and employees, we are all working together for success and happiness. I realised, after listening to many different specialists and studying many different techniques in business leadership, management, emotional intelligence and motivation, that there were many analogies and phrases from the world of sports but that was where it stopped. Understanding that a company is only as good as its team, why was I not learning from the greatest teams? Rugby is all about how to work effectively as a team and how to get the best from yourself and your teammates. There are also lessons in leadership, motivation, work ethic, self-awareness, positive mental attitude, self-control, discipline, patience, emotional intelligence, personal growth, responsibility, fulfilment, respect and, above all, happiness! A Rugby player cannot win on their own, therefore there is no success without a team. Simply put, we all understand sport and the sports team mentality, so we already understand how to succeed, personally and professionally. Studying leadership, motivation and teamwork is as complicated as watching the game at the weekend. This book shows how easy it is to create a winning mindset that will help you be more successful, positive and happy! Become the best `You` you can be with a sport team mentality. Grab life with both hands and win!Read more

Rule of the Aurora King: the seductive enemies to lovers fantasy romance (Artefacts of Ouranos)
‘Even better than the first book! The banter, the sexual tension. . . I can’t pick myself up off the floor’ Reader Review
Freed from the golden clutches of the Sun King, Lor now finds herself in the hands of Nadir, the Aurora Prince. Convinced she’s hiding something, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make her talk. But Lor knows the value of secrets-she’s been keeping them her entire life-and she’s not letting hers go without a fight.

Running from Injury: Why runners get injured and how to stop it
Peter Francis saw his teenage years transformed by a miracle drug called running. His elation was
soon followed by despair, in the form of 12-years of repetitive injuries. Spurred on by personal
injustice, Peter pursued 3-science degrees, multiple coaching and consultancy roles before making a
breakthrough in the form of what had seemed like an unlikely comeback. In 2016 aged 29-years, for
the first time in his life, he ran for almost 3-years uninterrupted. This period coincided with running
multiple personal bests (33:46 10-km; 78:00 half marathon). In this book, he uses a combination of
his own story and his learnings spanning some 18-years of trial and error to provide a holistic
explanation for why runners get injured and how best to avoid it. His personal story is as captivating
as the information it imparts. Whether you are a disgruntled beginner or an Olympic hopeful, you
cannot help but become more consistent having read this book.Read more
