LFC Stories
Dan Kay, the iconic journalist and campaigner, was a driving force in the fight for justice following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, both in his personal life and during more than two decades with the Liverpool ECHO. Dan was central to the wide-ranging coverage relating to the campaign for justice leading to the inquests where a jury determined the 97 innocent men, women and children who lost their lives as a result of the tragedy were unlawfully killed. Throughout his career, Dan penned precisely-crafted and thoroughly captivating player profiles of the biggest characters in Liverpool Football Club history. This book is a loving collection of those profiles capturing the good, the bad, the ugly and the legendary - as well as the inside story of The Transfer That Never Was, featuring Steven Gerrard, Jose Mourinho and John Terry. As well as Bob Paisley, Graeme Souness and a host of other trophy-laden tales, Dan delves deep into the bizarre world of Mario Balotelli and Andy Carroll while explaining why one Champions League winning full-back simply disappeared. The book also includes the story of Craig Johnston, an Australian who went from sleeping in a shed to signing for Liverpool and eventually inventing the best-selling Adidas Predator football boot - all detailed by Dan with an affectionate and detailed prose. The book contains a poignant tribute to those who passed away at Hillsborough, written the same week Liverpool lifted their first-ever Premier League title in 2020. Sir Kenny Dalglish MBE writes a touching foreword in tribute to Dan who died aged 45 in 2023. A share of the proceeds from this title will be donated to the Dan Kay Foundation which aims to tackle stigma around mental health.
Silver Streams and Muddy Dreams
‘A joyful drift through an angling life. Poignant meanders with plenty of hooks to snare any angler looking for literary immersion.’ – Kevin Parr, author of The Quiet Moon: Pathways to an Ancient Way of Being and Rivers Run: An Angler’s Journey From Source to SeaTony Bailey has been obsessed with fish his whole life (or, at least, what he can remember of it). As he reached his preteen years, this turned into a love for angling, which has stayed with him throughout his life and ensured he would spend the next seventy-odd years gladly indulging in his passion. In Silver Streams and Muddy Dreams, he looks back over a life spent fishing and considers what lights the spark that turns a human being into an angler – circumstance, social contact or genetics?Packed with memories and peppered with useful tips and observations, Tony explores the full gamut of angling possibilities, from the wildest stream to the most enigmatic of farm ponds, each tied to their histories and legends and each capable of providing the thrill of a lifetime or the peace and tranquillity to connect with nature and soothe the mind.
Swimmingly
''A hugely enjoyable love letter to swimming and open water adventures'' – Sophie RaworthSports and Virgin Radio Breakfast Show presenter Vassos Alexander found solace and distraction swimming in the Thames during a difficult summer, and was bitten by the bug. Now he can''t pass a body of water without wanting to jump in.Told through the story of training for a solo Channel swim, Swimmingly takes you on a journey across the world from Bournemouth Beach to San Francisco Bay. Vassos discovers that outdoor swimming is not about being the fastest or the best, it''s about finding that little bit of magic in every stroke.Working with elite coaches and interviewing the great and the good of swimming, he uncovers the massive sense of community at the heart of this time-honoured pastime. He meets Olympic champions and Channel legends – including Diana Nyad, who in her 60s became the first person to swim between Cuba and Florida; Lewis Pugh, the UN Patron of the Oceans and Lynne Cox, a woman who went for a swim and saved the world.It''s about the everyday swims, too – the tips shared and friendships forged over coffee and cake after a morning dip with the Teddington Bluetits or the sea swimmers of Whitstable. With the sport exploding in popularity over recent years, we all know someone (or are that someone!) who swims outside throughout the year.Swimmingly will leave you with a renewed sense of connection to the world, and perhaps even inspire you to dive into your nearest lake, river or sea with gleeful abandon.
Life at the Edge
This book is a wonderful selection of inspiring photographs reflecting life along 147 miles of fretted Caithness coastline in the far north of Scotland. Divided into five broad habitats: harbours; seas; beaches, dunes and links; sea cliffs and stacks; and rocky shorelines, each photograph is accompanied by explanatory information, opening the door into a wider world for the interested reader. From tranquil, sandy beaches to imposing sea cliffs, rocky shorelines to wild surf, the Caithness coast is a delight for those who love nature and treasure the great outdoors. The geology of the coastal cliffs, where the Old Red Sandstone bedrock has been exposed to erosion from wind and wave over millennia provides a home for the vast colonies of breeding seabirds over the summer months and the dunes and links a haven where special little plants thrive despite their exposure to the raw energy of the sea to the north and east ? all these factors combine to create one of the world?s great coasts. This is a coast where life is challenged by the unforgiving conditions of Scotland?s northernmost county; where life is at the edge of land and sea. Harbours provide a focal point for wildlife, from the familiar sound of the herring gull perched on the harbour wall, always on the lookout for an easy meal from an unsuspecting summer tourist, to less familiar birds, such as sawbills and divers taking advantage of the calmer waters of the harbour basins during the winter. At sea, the sight of an otter feeding on a fish close to shore makes the heart sing, whilst a tall triangular fin cutting menacingly through the water, indicating the presence of an orca, makes the heart beat just that little bit faster. Waders scurry along sandy beaches feeding on the tide?s bounty, and in the dunes and links there is an array of charming plants blooming during the summer months, among which the Scottish primrose (Primula scotica) takes botanical pride of place; all attracting a range of pollinators. There is so much to discover and such a remarkable diversity, whether in the sea, on the beach or a rocky shoreline. Life at the Edge takes you there, and in such captivating detail through both words and images. This is a book of natural wonders to be savoured and enjoyed, time and again, enabling the reader to experience the essence of the natural history of the Caithness coast
Antro
Delving beneath the surface of everyday life, Andrea Simonato explores a world of underground caves and stone quarries in his second monograph, Antro. Historically prompting a wide array of interpretations -such as sacred boundaries between the human and divine, practical places of refuge or dwellings of the supernatural- caves have attracted countless cultures due to their distinctly ambiguous qualities. Today, these underground structures offer a stark contrast to the precisely defined nature of our above-ground surroundings. The entanglement of corridors and caverns seemingly strip themselves of worldly notions and, in their presence, ask us to do the same. Wandering through a cluster in the hills of South Vicenza, Italy, Andrea delicately approaches both the intricacies and magnitude of these spaces. “During the time of the pandemic, I made a habit of climbing the paths leading to the caves and abandoned quarries in the hills near my home. I couldn't say exactly what drove me to go all the way back there each time, perhaps it was just a way of distancing myself from what was happening. There was a calmness and a sense of stability in those places that somehow contrasted the uncertainty and emotional chaos of those months. Entering them and surrendering to their silence and shadows was like stepping into another world and leaving everything else behind, at least for a while.”
Nature's Greatest Success
The 15,000-year story of how grass seduced humanity into being its unwitting labor force—and the science behind it. Domesticated crops were not human creations, and agriculture was not simply invented. As Robert N. Spengler shows, domestication was the result of an evolutionary process in which people played a role only unwittingly and as actors in a numberless cast that spanned the plant and animal kingdoms. Nature's Greatest Success is the first book to bring together recent scientific discoveries and fascinating ongoing research to provide a systematic account of not only how agriculture really developed but why. Through fifteen chapters, this book dives deep into the complex processes that drove domestication and the various roles that plants and animals, including humans, played in bringing about those changes. At the intersection of popular history, archaeology, and evolutionary biology, Nature's Greatest Success offers a revolutionary account of humanity not at the apex of nature but deeply embedded in the natural world and the evolutionary processes that continue to guide it even today.

Slatehead
The slate quarries were walking distance; they'd have a smoke, a party in an abandoned hut, try and climb something. A small culture emerged of punks, nutters, artists and petty thieves, crawling up abandoned rock, then heading to the disco at the Dolbadarn. These were the Slateheads. The people in these interleaving worlds - the punk dole dropout star- climbers; the Victorian quarrymen pioneers; the Welsh-speaking grandson of a ropeman, abseiling in to bolt sport climbs like Orangutang Overhang in the Noughties, Lee and his mates slogging west today - all are polished like nuggets in this 360 Degrees view over patience, pride, respect, thrill, movement, the competing claims of home and agency, and above all, a belief in second chances.

Peatlands
A beautiful, urgent and personal exploration of bogs and the role they must play in saving our planet - for fans of Otherlands and The Last Rainforests of Britain ''A fascinating, impassioned invitation into the hidden mystery of bogs'' - OLIVIA LAING, author of The Garden Against Time''Enchanting . . . If you''ve ever looked at a wetland and wanted to know it better, Fowler is an ideal guide: knowledgeable, passionate, and above all, joyous and personable in her prose.'' - JESSICA J. LEE, author of Two Trees Make a Forest''The book throws a sharp light on the plight of bogs - places that come spectacularly to life under Fowler''s analytic and passionate gaze. A delight to read but also a sobering education.'' - TOM STUART-SMITH''The curious, still silence of peat bogs is so much at odds with their deep and ancient complexities. This book, so immersive, thoughtfully penned and well-observed makes an intimate connection to these often overlooked and enormously precious places. It makes you want to tread lightly and to look deeper.'' - DAN PEARSON -------''Why do I like bogs so much? I think it is because I feel very at home with them, I think this has something to do with my queerness and their queer nature as a space.'' The value of peat bogs as a natural resource and haven of biodiversity is undisputed, yet few of us have been lucky enough to experience their beauty and richness. In Peatlands, Wainwright Prize-shortlisted author Alys Fowler calls for us to sink deep into the dark, black earths of these rugged places and take a close look at the birds, animals, plants and insects that live within them.Living in Wales nestled between bogs makes Alys Fowler''s Peatlands both personal and illuminating. Her odyssey takes her deep into the Flow Country, to the remote Border Mires, through Bannau Bracheinoig, the Peak District and Ireland, creating an intimate picture of these magical places and the people who care for them.
