The Fire in the Mountain
For centuries, Mount Etna has sent lava to engulf the towns and villages, terraced fields, orchards, vineyards, and citrus groves that nestle across its slopes. But still it remains home to a quarter of Sicily's population. Why? Because Etna has always rewarded her people after every eruption with a landscape of unparalleled fertility, richness and drama.
In this extraordinary new book, Helena Attlee combines travel writing with history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell a unique story of life in the shadow of Sicily's most dangerous and alluring landmark. Venturing through lava-strewn fields and pistachio groves patrolled by armed guards; past dusky, basalt-built farmyards, and caves once used to store snow, Attlee gathers tales of the artists, writers, farmers, and scientists who have for centuries been drawn to this unpredictable landscape: from the early Roman, Arabic and Norman settlers, Romantic poets and Victorian geologists, to the local families who live and work there today. It is at once a compelling account of Sicily's rich and varied past, and a powerful meditation on humanity's ever-changing relationship with landscape.
Earth Works: Houses by Byoung Cho
Earth Works: Houses by Byoung Cho offers a unique glimpse into the residential buildings of one of Korea's most influential architects. This visually stunning monograph combines photography, plans, drawings, paintings and models to provide an exclusive overview of this rarely published aspect of Byoung's work.
Focused entirely around fifteen private and rarely seen residences, the book takes as its starting point some of his earliest projects - Concrete Box House (2004) and Earth House (2009) - which explore the emotional impact of place through low-intervention and minimalist rural structures. At its core, this book aims to intertwine the theoretical underpinnings of land architecture with practical project descriptions, creating a holistic narrative that bridges the conceptual and the concrete.
It also explores Korean architecture's enduring concern with establishing a relationship with the land, something which is rooted in the country's distinct terrain and cultural foundations. A number of insightful texts by Byoung complement this elegant and poetic survey, exploring his architectural influences alongside the ideas of experience, perception and the Korean concepts of mak and bium (imperfection and emptiness).
The Art of Korean Cooking
A beautifully produced cookbook featuring eighty recipes inspired by traditional Korean cuisine, alongside illuminating essays on the country’s culinary history.
The Art of Korean Cooking is a definitive introduction to Korean cuisine and a beautifully crafted cookbook. It compiles more than eighty recipes, each meticulously researched and tested by Onjium – a cultural research institute and Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul dedicated to reviving and modernizing Korean culinary traditions, preserving past tastes for future generations.
The book includes a series of cultural essays, interspersed throughout, grounding readers in Korean cuisine and culture. Taken together, they trace the history of its flavours and ingredients back thousands of years through the Joseon and Goryeo dynasties. A particular emphasis is placed on Royal Court Cuisine, accompanied by numerous modern spins on dishes once served at Joseon-era royal banquets.
Organized by season, the recipes range from familiar dishes like bibimbap with spring vegetables or seafood hot pot to the lesser known: azalea rice cakes, chestnut porridge, beotgul (oyster) salad, or stir-fried ueong (burdock root) with sweet-potato noodles. Each recipe is illustrated by a stunning photograph of its end dish, while artfully designed double pages depict raw ingredients and scenes from nature during the changing seasons.
Bookending the recipes are a series of illustrated subsections covering essential drinks, garnishes, and condiments. These include alcoholic beverages; bugak (dried deep-fried vegetables or seaweed); jangajji (pickles); tea; and fruit and vegetable marmalades.

Bury Me, Already (It's Nice Down Here)
The next installment in Julia Wertz's critically acclaimed graphic memoir series, Bury Me, Already (It's Nice Down Here!) picks up where Impossible People leaves off, with Julia returning home to Northern California, settling down permanently with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Oliver, getting pregnant, and giving birth to their son Felix in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. After being illegally evicted from her basement studio in Brooklyn, Julia returns to Northern California with plans to head to Los Angeles to pursue a different career path. But when she reunites with her family and rekindles a relationship with an ex-boyfriend, she discovers that her vision of the future might not be what she really wants. After a surprise pregnancy and a marriage proposal, Julia settles into quiet life in a small town. But as 2020 approaches, her world-and the world around her- takes sharp turn towards unexpected chaos. Julia's story of pregnancy, miscarriage, the pandemic, wildfires, a family crisis, a traumatic birth, new motherhood, marriage, and a life-altering event is a heart-wrenching, tender, and hilarious story of resilience, adversity, and, ultimately, love.
In Search of Hope
The Fundraiser Who Became a Philanthropist.
A leading fundraiser and philanthropist’s memoir about money, power and the common good. John Nickson traces his journey from privilege to purposeful giving, showing how philanthropy, civil society and ordinary citizens can repair divided Britain and renew hope.
“ John takes us through his life as a fundraiser for a succession of important organisations, and then his transformation into a philosopher of philanthropy and a philanthropist himself. In doing so, he may well have provided us with some of the answers to the bleak times we are living through – to the rise of authoritarianism, the decline of liberal democracy, the absence of hope in too many people’s lives.
John’s book can help. Its fundamental belief in the role of civil society, of collective decision and action, of the value of empathy, of the purposes of philanthropy, can help to steer us to a better world.” – Chris Smith ( Rt Hon Lord Smith of Finsbury, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge)
“John Nickson has seen it all in the world of giving… He argues passionately and with an army of witnesses and examples that the very health of our society requires a solid foundation of charity, philanthropy and local responsibility for the myriad of society’s actual needs. He dares to hope that society at large will recognise these needs and respond to them.”
Sir John Tusa

Vegetables the Italian Way
Italians have a gift for making vegetables shine. It's about simplicity, balance, and an instinctive understanding of flavor to get the best out of each vegetable, whether it's eaten fresh along with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt or roasted slowly with a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of fresh herbs. This deep-rooted practice of simplicity comes from Italy's cucina povera where seasonal vegetables dishes are nourishing everyday meals.
The recipes in this book are the creations of Giulia Scarpaleggia (@julskitchen) and celebrate cucina casalinga-Italian home cooking. They include some of Italy's most iconic dishes like Eggplant Parmesan, Panzanella Salad, and Sicilian Caponata, as well as regional favorites like Braised Artichokes and Fennel Gratin. With enticing photographs from the Italian garden and countryside, the book is as much a pleasure to look at as it is to cook from.
The Cats of Poets Square
Previously published as Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People kept asking: Why would you have cats that don't love you back?
The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats, who, to her surprise, would expand her world spectacularly.
Beebs was the first to appear. Then there was Monkey, the dark-blotched 'scheming little gremlin' calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers' wedding vows. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely fearless.
Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, it explores what loving these feral creatures, in all their noise and need, can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.
Sum of Us
'A masterpiece of storytelling' Robert Winder Georgina Sturge, House of Commons Library statistician and author of the critically acclaimed Bad Data, explores the rich history of the times the UK has counted itself - from the revolutionary first census of 1801 to modern worries over technological surveillance. Condensing a whole society into numbers brought hidden problems to light: mapping cholera deaths in Soho led researchers to a single deadly water pump; Florence Nightingale stunned the Victorian establishment with her diagrams showing disease was the soldier's hidden enemy; and the discovery that industries like firework-making were almost entirely staffed by women helped improve workers' rights. Full of fascinating social detail, Sum of Us draws out the human stories captured in the vast tangle of data the UK has collected over two centuries. It provides a vital snapshot not of who we imagine ourselves to be - but who we really are.
A Sound So Very Loud
Music journalists Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain first met Liam and Noel in 1994, when the brothers were playing tiny venues, and have since interviewed them dozens of times, tracking the astonishing success of Oasis as they became one of the biggest bands in the world.
In this comprehensive telling of the Oasis story through their spectacular back catalogue, Kessler and MacBain focus on the enduring power of the music, exploring the tales behind the lyrics and revealing the background to the writing, recording and impact of all the songs, from megahits like 'Live Forever', 'Wonderwall' and 'Champagne Supernova' to the fan-favourite B-sides and deep cuts such as 'Acquiesce', 'The Masterplan' and 'Half the World Away'.
With their unique perspective on all things Oasis, Kessler and MacBain bring this story to life in glorious colour. A Sound So Very Loud is the book every Oasis fan needs on their shelves, destined to be as timeless and as moreish as the music itself.
