The German Occupation of Jersey: Agriculture and Survival in a Time of War
On 1 July 1940 the Germans occupied Jersey and remained until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945. On Jersey, agriculture was the only economic activity left after the Germans arrived on the Island. It became the basis of Island life and, as the war wore on, the isolated Jersey became increasingly dependent on agriculture for its survival, particularly during near starvation in the winter of 1944. In this book local historian Andrew Gilson examines the relationship between the German Military Government and the civilian government and civil service on Jersey, and how they had to work together to ensure the Island’s survival through its farming industry. Based on hundreds of original documents from Jersey, including those held by the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society, other Channel Islands, Germany, France, Austria and elsewhere in Europe, the author reveals the complex relationship between the German occupiers, civilian authorities and the farming community. Accusations of collaboration and stories of sabotage, German exports of produce, the development of tobacco as a cash economy, the exploitation of Jersey cattle by Nazi scientists to create a new ‘superbreed’, German requisition of foodstuffs and the black market all played their part in this fascinating story. This groundbreaking and original study of the German occupation of Jersey will be of interest to all those wishing to know more about the history of Jersey as well as to military historians.Read more

The Book at War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict
‘Magisterial’ Kathryn Hughes, The Sunday Times (A Sunday Times Book of the Week)
‘Rich, authoritative and highly readable, Andrew Pettegree’s tour de force will appeal to anyone for whom, whatever the circumstances, books are an abiding, indispensable part of life.’ David Kynaston
Chairman Mao was a librarian. Stalin was a published poet. Evelyn Waugh served as a commando – before leaving to write Brideshead Revisited. Since the advent of modern warfare, books have all too often found themselves on the frontline.
In The Book at War, acclaimed historian Andrew Pettegree traces the surprising ways in which written culture – from travel guides and scientific papers to Biggles and Anne Frank – has shaped, and been shaped, by the conflicts of the modern age.
From the American Civil War to the invasion of Ukraine, books, authors and readers have gone to war – and in the process become both deadly weapons and our most persuasive arguments for peace.

Serpent, Siren, Maelstrom & Myth: Sea Stories and Folktales from Around the World
The sea is beautiful and alluring, but it is also dangerous and deadly. Above all, it is unknowable and untameable. Storytelling offered our ancestors a means to understand and interact with the natural world, and in time these stories coalesced into the mythological systems of the world. And the ocean features in every mythological system in history.To reflect and explore this, Gerry Smyth has gathered together myths and folktales from cultures around the world – Native American, Caribbean, Polynesian, Persian, Indian, Scandinavian and European. Just as these stories have been passed down through generations, he brings his own narrative interpretation with additional discussion on their meaning. Stories are divided into seven sections: Origin Stories; Gods and Humans; Voyages; Lost Places, Imagined Spaces; Weather and Nature; Down to the Sea in Ships; Fabulous Beasts; and embellished with illustrations from the wide-ranging collections of the Library.

Knowledge-Based Vocabulary Lists (British Council Monographs on Modern Language Testing)
In teaching second language (L2) vocabulary, it is useful to have a way of prioritizing words to teach from among the multitude available. Word frequency, i.e. how often various words appear in written and spoken discourse, has typically been used to inform the emphasis taken. This volume explores the need for word lists based on direct tests of learner knowledge to inform L2 pedagogy. The Knowledge-based Vocabulary Lists (KVL) are introduced, and a description of the theoretical and practical basis for their development is given, highlighting pedagogical and assessment situations in which it is beneficial to know whether learners are likely to be able produce and correctly spell the words they know. A focus on L2 learners of English from Chinese, German, and Spanish L1 backgrounds resulted in three ranked lists of English-language word knowledge. The comparative probability of learners from these language backgrounds knowing each word are presented, and the correspondence with existing information about word frequency, word acquisition sequence, and word difficulty is explored. The value of the KVL is discussed in terms of providing one of the few evidence-based descriptions of L2 form-recall vocabulary knowledge available to teachers and researchers.Read more

While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence
From award-winning journalist Meg Kissinger, a searing memoir of a family besieged by mental illness, as well as an incisive exploration of the systems that failed them and a testament to the love that sustained them.
Growing up in the 1960s in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Kissinger’s family seemed to live a charmed life. With eight kids and two loving parents, the Kissingers radiated a warm, boisterous energy. Whether they were spending summer days on the shores of Lake Michigan, barreling down the ski slopes, or navigating the trials of their Catholic school, the Kissingers always knew how to live large and play hard.
But behind closed doors, a harsher reality was unfolding–a heavily medicated mother hospitalized for anxiety and depression, a manic father prone to violence, and children in the throes of bipolar disorder and depression, two of whom would take their own lives. Through it all, the Kissingers faced the world with their signature dark humor and the unspoken family rule: never talk about it.
While You Were Out begins as the personal story of one family’s struggles then opens outward, as Kissinger details how childhood tragedy catalyzed a journalism career focused on exposing our country’s flawed mental health care. Combining the intimacy of memoir with the rigor of investigative reporting, the book explores the consequences of shame, the havoc of botched public policy, and the hope offered by new treatment strategies.
Powerful, candid and filled with surprising humor, this is the story of one family’s love and resilience in face of great loss.

This revised and updated edition incorporates new acts, such as the Policing and Crime Act 2017 and Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019. It also covers the findings and implications from Professor Sir Simon Wessely’s 2018 review of the Mental Health Act in a new chapter. Written by two leading psychiatrists with many years of experience in using the mental health legislation and in running mental health law courses, this book outlines how changes to statutes and case law have a direct bearing on day-to-day psychiatric practice and why it is important that clinicians of all disciplines have access to and understand the legislation. This is the go-to guide for all clinicians, doctors and nurses working in mental health services.Read more

Beauty of Bond: Celebrating 60 years of the 007 women
The James Bond film series is well-known for its ground breaking film making. Since 1962, actors from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig all had the distinct pleasure to portray Ian Fleming’s secret agent along with a variety of beautiful women. Some were innocent, some were naïve. Some were strong and determined; while some were the definition of evil.
The beautiful women surrounding James Bond are as much as a trademark of the films as the gadgets, cars and stunning locations. They all help make the films the spectacular stories we love so dearly, and this book looks at these women from a different and creative perspective.
Born in 1959 in Philadelphia, Jeff Marshall’s creative philosophy is one of craftsmanship, attention to detail and a constant effort to develop fresh originality in each and every artistic realisation. After having graduated the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Marshall started working as a self-employed creative developer and project director.
His love for film, and specifically the world of 007, brought him to the attention of EON Productions, producers of the Bond films, for which he created a line of limited edition James Bond lithographs in the 1990s. Jeff Marshall is well-known and appreciated within the 007 fan world, as he regularly supplies beautiful artwork for magazine and book covers.
Beauty of Bond is the first publication to be completely dedicated to the artist and his work.

Alexandria: The City that Changed the World: ‘Monumental’ – Daily Telegraph
‘Monumental and vividly imagined . . . a fitting tribute to a city that has survived, changed and grown for so many centuries’
Daily Telegraph‘A cornucopia of fascinating details, every page revealing a new delight’
Paul Strathern, author of The Medici: Godfathers of the RenaissanceA city drawn in sand.
Inspired by the tales of Homer and his own ambitions of empire, Alexander the Great sketched the idea of a city onto the sparsely populated Egyptian coastline. He did not live to see Alexandria built, but his vision of a sparkling metropolis that celebrated learning and diversity was swiftly realised and still stands today.
Situated on the cusp of Africa, Europe and Asia, great civilisations met in Alexandria. Together, Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital of enormous influence: the inventive collaboration of its citizens shaped modern philosophy, science, religion and more. In pitched battles, later empires, from the Arabs and Ottomans to the French and British, laid claim to the city but its independent spirit endures.
In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a journey across millennia, rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, from Cleopatra to Napoleon. From its humble origins to dizzy heights and present-day strife, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.
