  • The Anywhere Voice Actor: Voiceover Handbook on Remote Voice Acting

    02
    Are you an aspiring voice actor looking for their chance to dive into the wild world of the voiceover industry but don’t live near Los Angeles and have no idea where to start? The Anywhere Voice Actor was made for you!

    In recent years, the voiceover industry has become an exceedingly different landscape to navigate. Many voice actors have since adapted to remote, at-home recording spaces, making home studios as much of a staple as professional studios. This transformative divergence from what was once perceived as the norm in the industry has led to an entirely new path that brings possibility and accessibility to voice actors worldwide through, at-home remote recording.

    In The Anywhere Voice Actor, professional voice actress Sara Secora reflects on her years of experience—from recording on the floor of her closet to becoming a full-time professional. She identifies and outlines clear-cut methods fresh voice talent can use to find their start and carve a career pathway that is uniquely their own.

    What You’ll Find Inside:
    • Basics: Genres, Rates, Training, Acting, Preparation
    • Technical: Demos, Home Studios, Terminology
    • Business: Unions, Agents, Auditioning, Networking
    • Fortitude: Rejection, Imposter Syndrome, Community
    And much, much more!

  • The Worlds of Dune: The Places and Cultures that Inspired Frank Herbert

    02
    Some writers build worlds. Others birth entire universes. 

    In the decades since its publication, Frank Herbert’s Dune has become arguably the best-selling and certainly the best-known science fiction novel ever written. So how did an ex-Navy newspaperman from Washington State come to write such a world-conquering novel? And how was he able to pack it with so many layers of myth and meaning? 

    Herbert’s boundless imagination was sparked by a dizzying array of ideas, from classical history to cutting-edge science, from environmentalism to Zen philosophy, and from Arabic texts to Shakespeare’s tragedies.

    Beginning on Arrakis and going planet by planet, The Worlds of Dune offers a supremely deep dive into Herbert’s universe – detailing along the way the many diverse strands that he wove into his epic creation to offer a visually rich accompaniment to this sci-fi legend.

  • Spanish Sentence Builders – A Lexicogrammar approach: Beginner to Pre-intermediate (The Language Gym – Sentence Builder Books)

    03

    This is the newly updated SECOND EDITION!

    This version has been fully re-checked for accuracy and re-formatted to make it even more user-friendly, following feedback after a full year of classroom use by thousands of teachers across the world. Spanish Sentence Builders is a workbook aimed at beginner to pre-intermediate students co-authored by two modern languages educators with over 40 years of extensive classroom experience between the two, both in the UK and internationally.

    This ‘no-frills’ book contains 19 units of work on very popular themes, jam-packed with graded vocabulary-building, reading, translation, retrieval practice and writing activities. Key vocabulary, lexical patterns and structures are recycled and interleaved throughout.

    Each unit includes:
    1) A sentence builder modelling the target constructions;
    2) A set of vocabulary building activities;
    3) A set of narrow reading texts exploited through a range of tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text;
    4) A set of retrieval-practice translation tasks;
    5) A set of writing tasks targeting essential micro-skills such as spelling, lexical retrieval, syntax, editing and communication of meaning.

    Based on the Extensive Processing Instruction (E.P.I.) principle that learners learn best from comprehensible and highly patterned input flooded with the target linguistic features, the authors have carefully designed each and every text and activity to enable the student to process and produce each item many times over.
    This occurs throughout each unit of work as well as in smaller grammar, vocabulary and question-skills micro-units located at regular intervals in the book, which aim at reinforcing the understanding and retention of the target grammar, vocabulary and question patterns.

    02

    SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2023

    ‘Profoundly moving.’ EDMUND DE WAAL
    ‘A work of searching scholarship, acute critical observation, philosophical heft, and deep feeling.’ ALEX ROSS
    ‘A rare book: extraordinarily powerful – magisterial, meticulously rich and unexpected, deeply affecting and human.’ PHILIPPE SANDS

    A remarkable and stirring account of how music acts as a witness to history and a medium of cultural memory in the post-Holocaust world.

    When it comes to how societies commemorate their own distant dreams and catastrophes, we often think of books, archives, or memorials carved from stone. But in Time’s Echo, Jeremy Eichler makes a revelatory case for the power of music as culture’s memory, an art form uniquely capable of carrying forward meaning from the past.

    Eichler shows how four towering composers – Richard Strauss, Arnold Schoenberg, Benjamin Britten and Dmitri Shostakovich – lived through the era of the Second World War and the Holocaust and later transformed their experiences into deeply moving works of music, scores that carry forward the echoes of lost time. A lyrical narrative full of insight and compassion, this book deepens how we think about the legacies of war, the presence of the past, and the profound possibilities of art in our lives today.

  • Dancing in Time: The History of Moving and Shaking

    With a Foreword by Oti Mabuse.

    Dance is at the heart of diverse cultures around the globe, from the increasing popularity of salsa clubs, to break dance battles that gather crowds in the street, to the constant stream of dance routines going viral on TikTok. Every Saturday from September to December, 8 million people tune in to watch Strictly Come Dancing.

    But behind the glitzy performances are amazing and unpredictable histories: the shocking debut of the waltz in eighteenth-century Vienna; the power of African-American influence on the jive and Lindy hop; and the early foundations of hip-hop in funk and disco styles. Tango, samba, Charleston, cha cha cha, rumba – each dance has distinct rhythms, quality of movement and complex rules to learn and follow. But they all shook up society and gave ordinary people the freedom of self-expression.

    Choreographer Robert Hylton navigates an extraordinary array of photographs, periodicals and ephemera from the British Library collections, which reveal the true origins of the popular dance styles that have, at one point or another, swept the population off their feet.

  • Kind of a Big Deal: How Anchorman Stayed Classy and Became the Most Iconic Comedy of the Twenty-First Century

    Named one of the best comedies of all times by Bravo, Time Out, and Empire, and one of the most quotable films of all time by Esquire, Hollywood.com, and Yardbarker, Anchorman is arguably the most popular comedy of the last twenty years. In Kind of a Big Deal, author and comedy historian Saul Austerlitz explores the making of the movie, its status as a legendary comedy. Kind of a Big Deal will be both a narrative history of how Anchorman was developed, written, and cast, and how it launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, and Paul Rudd, also setting the stage for a whole decade of comedy to come and influencing films like The Forty-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and so many more. It’s also a cultural analysis of the film’s significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more. Featuring brand-new interviews with stars such as Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay, the book will feature both the insider commentary and updated, intelligent commentary that pop culture readers love. And it will also be published just in time for the film’s 20th anniversary, a date that will definitely resonate with both publicity outlets and readers.

  • Harlots, Whores & Hackabouts: A History of Sex for Sale

    04
    The history of selling sex is a hidden one, its practitioners a ‘damnable crew’ pushed to the margins of history. Harlots, Whores & Hackabouts redresses the balance, revealing the history of sex for sale, from medieval back street to Wild West saloon, and from the brothel to state bedroom. This enthralling history is brought to life by Kate Lister’s witty and authoritative text, and illuminated by a rich archive of photographs, artworks and objects.

    Structured thematically in broadly chronological order, the book introduces a lively cast of complex and entertaining characters operating in an array of different periods and settings. The Mesopotamian harlot Shamhat was powerful and respected, able to civilize the wild man Enkidu through her charms. In medieval London Elizabeth Moryng serviced clergy under the guise of an embroidery business, though was eventually jailed for being a prolific procuress and bawd. In Renaissance Venice the courtesan Veronica Franco published her poetry, rubbed shoulders with royalty and founded a charity for other courtesans. In the hedonistic floating world of Edo, Japan, kabuki actresses and then geishas entertained and pleasured their patrons. Three men were hanged in 18th-century London for buggery after being found in the Molly House of Margaret Clap. And at the turn of the century, in New Orleans, Lulu White ran Mahogany Hall, a four-storey building that housed up to forty sex workers.

    Lister’s illuminating tales invite readers to look, listen and reconsider everything they thought they knew about the world’s oldest profession.

  • Buying Silence: How oligarchs, corporations and plutocrats use the law to gag their critics

    01

    ***BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023, THE SPECTATOR***

    “Masterful” Tom Bower

    “Vital” Graydon Carter

    “Shocking” Baroness Helena Kennedy

    THE ERA OF WIN AT ALL COSTS, WHETHER LEGAL OR ILLEGAL , IS UPON US. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE SLAPP CASE.

    Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPPs, are designed to censor, intimidate and silence critics of the powerful and wealthy by burdening them with aggressive opposing lawyers, heavy legal costs and deeply intrusive – and sometimes illegal – private investigations until they abandon the case.

    The UK has the unenviable accolade of being the number one destination for such cases. Billionaire oligarchs, often ex-convicts and linked to organised crime, come here to launder their reputations through suing for libel – even when what’s been written about them is entirely true. Even worse, more often than not they either win their cases or scare their opponents into self-censorship, in a devastating blow to investigative journalism, media freedom and the public interest.

    In this timely, insightful and often shocking book, David Hooper, veteran media lawyer, explores how the power of money enables the very wealthy – including Robert Maxwell, Nadhim Zahawi and McDonald’s – to crush their critics through SLAPP tactics. From billionaire oligarchs to powerful corporations, from corrupt politicians to super-rich businesspeople, Hooper describes how those with something to hide tried to stop you knowing about it, how their lawyers were willing to help them and – most importantly – what the government urgently needs to do to stop them.

  • Unravelling the Silk Road: Travels and Textiles in Central Asia

    08

    Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster.

    At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.

  • Artists making books: poetry to politics

    A collection of outstanding and fascinating artists’ books revealing the inspirations and concerns of a group of remarkable contemporary artists.

    ‘More than a simple reflection of the British Museum’s artist-book holdings, this is an important index of artists’ responses to the issues and circumstances that have shaped the Arab world in recent times.’ – ArtReview

    In the hands of artists and poets, books have been taking a radically different form since the advent of the artist’s book in Paris in the early 20th century. Appearing in a variety of shapes and sizes, as one-offs or small print editions, books offer artists and poets a novel form of expression. In the words of Indian artist Nalini Malani (b. 1946), the book is ‘a carrier of experience’, in which whole worlds are encapsulated.

    In this beautifully produced book, works made by artists from Beirut to Tunis and beyond highlight the relationship between artists and writers and the influences that inform their work, from family to politics and everything in between. Lebanese artist Abed Al Kadiri (b. 1984) conceived his book during the first month of the pandemic to explore his family history, while through the eyes of Iraqi artist Kareem Risan (b. 1960) we see the shocking aftermath of a deadly explosion on the streets of Baghdad in 2005.

    These artists also find inspiration in classical poetry and literature. Some of their works respond to and are informed by the medieval Persian poetry of Rumi and Hafez, as well as the tales of The Thousand and One Nights.

  • Hope and Glory: Rugby League in Thatcher’s Britain

    08
    **LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR**

    “A timely book… Broxton is a superb and sympathetic chronicler of how this happened.” –Patrick Kidd, The Times

    Hope and Glory recreates the extraordinary era of Thatcherite Britain with the dramatic tension of a novel, revealing it as a critical moment in rugby league history when despite losing everything, anything seemed possible.

    Rugby league should never have survived Thatcher’s Britain. As the sport of the working class, the expectation was that rugby league would suffer the same fate as the textile mills, factories and coal mines that once surrounded it. Having declined in the 1970s, the sport appeared to be at the point of no return in 1982, when the Australian team destroyed any remaining illusions of ‘British exceptionalism’.

    But as it often does, rugby league found a way to turn itself around. From the pit villages which fought industrial decline to the players who ushered in the new professional era, the 1980s was the decade when rugby league finally came of age. By the 1990s, there was an optimism that it could even replace football as the global game for the 21st century.
