Duneland
Situated between the Ogwr Estuary and the Port Talbot Steelworks, the Kenfig dunes are a unique landscape, once part of Tir Iarll, the Earl’s Land, now pierced by the M4, but shrouded in myth and history. Kristian Evans has been deeply immersed there for most of his life. In Duneland, he marks the passing of the year in this extraordinary place, celebrating its fascinating biodiversity and reflecting on our evolving relationship with the natural world. He takes us on a journey between past and present, from the world of the Mabinogi and a buried Norman town, to stories of working-class lives and the impact of industry, exploring what it’s like to live in a wild edgeland where the horizons are always shifting.
Super Touring
‘The man’s an animal’ – so a furious John Cleland vented to millions of TV viewers after being punted out of the 1992 British Touring Car Championship season finale. In an instant, touring car racing had become box office. Super Touring: When Touring Cars Ruled the World is the story of the explosion of touring car racing in the 1990s – underpinned by regulations that led to highly competitive racing and spectacular cars – an era of unrivalled public and manufacturer interest in the sport. At the apex was the British Touring Car Championship, which enjoyed a winning combination of big personalities, crash and bash racing and increasingly exotic machinery. Super Touring comprehensively revisits and reappraises a spectacular decade of action, bringing to life the stories of the time, together with new and exclusive interviews with those behind the wheel and in the paddock.
Magic Hat
Magic Hat celebrates the stunning revolution in playing style at Reading Football Club in the early 1990s. Relive every joyful moment of the club’s extraordinary rise. In late 1990, Reading were in the doldrums. Languishing in the third tier and drowning in debt, the club put their entire squad on the transfer list. But over the next four and a half years, something magical happened. Local businessman John Madejski stepped in to rescue the Royals, hiring Mark McGhee, who took on his first coaching role on the back of a trophy-laden playing career. McGhee set about building a slick passing side on a miniscule budget. Three local lads rose to prominence; a veteran striker had his most prolific season; exotic foreign imports arrived; and journeymen, veterans and kids came together. World-famous Wrexham manager, Phil Parkinson, thundered around the Royals’ midfield. Magic Hat brings you the inside track on that sensational turnaround through interviews with John Madejski, Mark McGhee and most of the Reading squad. It is a deep and affectionate look back at one of the Royals’ most glorious periods.

Olympic and Titanic
‘This intriguing book delves into the history of these two Olympic class ships. It matches the origins of their ancient Greek namesakes … the Titans & Olympian Gods.’ – Steve Hall, Titanic historian and co-author of RMS Titanic in 50 ObjectsIt is impossible to understand Titanic without appreciating the broader context: the development of the White Star Line and its competitors in the preceding decades; Anglo-German competition; the British fear of the ‘American peril’ as foreign capital increasingly controlled British shipping companies; and the relentless advance in shipbuilding and technology. This definitive volume explores the lead-up to the construction of Olympic and Titanic, providing a step-by-step account of the design process and a look at the financial, logistical and political obstacles the White Star Line had to tackle; the ups and downs of Olympic’s maiden season; and Titanic’s disastrous end. Relying on extensive primary-source research and presenting much unpublished data, Olympic & Titanic: Triumph and Disaster is not only a valuable reference tool, but provides an essential insight into this period of maritime history.

Football Hackers
The future of football is now.
Football's data revolution has only just begun. The arrival of advanced metrics and detailed analysis is already reshaping the modern game. We can now fully assess player performance, analyse the role of luck and measure what really leads to victory. There is no turning back.
Now the race is on between football's wealthiest clubs and a group of outsiders, nerds and rule-breakers, who are turning the game on its head with their staggering innovations. Winning is no longer just about what happens out on the pitch, it's now a battle taking place in boardrooms and on screens across international borders with the world's brightest minds driving for an edge over their fiercest rivals.
Christoph Biermann has moved in the midst of these disruptive upheavals, talking to scientists, coaches, managers, scouts and psychologists in the world's major clubs, traveling across Europe and the US and revealing the hidden - and often jaw-dropping - truths behind the beautiful game.
Nature's Memory
A 'compelling, arresting' (New Scientist) behind-the-scenes tour through the world's greatest natural history museums, revealing their hidden secrets Zoologist Jack Ashby spends his life working in Britain's natural history museums, and in Nature's Memory he guides us through a series of extraordinary collections, from marvellous mounted whale skeletons and impossibly tiny insect cabinets to buried treasures in vast museum storehouses. But look more closely at these displays: all is not as it seems. While most exhibits succeed in communicating feelings of wonder and awe - a vital function when less people than ever before have access to the outdoors - Ashby argues that the version of nature natural history museums present does not always reflect reality, with specimens revealing more about the biases of curators than they do about the species they represent. Likewise, the ways in which museums have traditionally told the story of their own histories has disproportionately elevated the contributions of certain kinds of people whilst diminishing the work of others, often ignoring their complex colonial heritage altogether. But Ashby contends that these issues are precisely why it's such an exciting time to be a natural historian, for while society shapes museums, so too can museums shape society - for the good. And as we face the existential threat of cataclysmic biodiversity loss, natural history museums will emerge as indispensable resources in the fight against climate catastrophe. Weaving together fresh historical research, entertaining zoological trivia and insider stories from Ashby's distinguished natural history career, Nature's Memory is a charming ode to the joys, eccentricities and planet-saving potential of the world's best-loved museums.
