Lido Land


'Tom Fort has a unique knack of finding new ways to reflect Britain back to ourselves and Lido Land may be his best book yet!' Charlie Connelly, author of The Shipping NewsPeople are currently flocking back to Britain’s lidos in their thousands. But this isn’t the first time they’ve made a splash. From the author of The A303: Highway to the Sun comes a deep dive into the historical and cultural significance of the British lido that will make you fall in love with outdoor swimming. Tom Fort takes us on a fun-packed journey around the UK’s lidos past and present, proving that lidos can tell us more about social trends, progress and political ideology than you might think. Along the way he takes us to the only surviving Lido in Wales, built in 1927 to help miners wash off their daily dirt, to the Portobello Pool in Edinburgh where Sean Connery was once a lifeguard, and around the iconic seaside towns of Blackpool and Weston-super-Mare where the loosening of Victorian moral standards could be measured by the shrinking of swimming costumes. Along the way, we meet the beauty queens competing for the Miss New Brighton crown at the Merseyside lido in 1966, a mayor who finished Guildford lido’s opening ceremony by stripping off his robes and gold chain and diving headfirst into the water, and we spend time with the colourful characters involved in designing, creating and keeping lidos afloat through the years. His journey shows us, time and time again, the personal significance of the lidos’ communal spaces – the unmistakable cold of the water rising above your shoulders, the sounds and smells of poolside sunbathing, the sun-baked tiles underfoot and the warm towel after a freezing dip. Fort, with his characteristic wryness and nostalgia, gathers memories and observations from the swimmers he meets along the way, interspersing these with historical fragments and moments from his own history. He laments the lidos we have lost, celebrates those saved by persistent community organising, and takes a frank look into their future.

Celestial Realms


An investigation into ideas and experiences of Heaven across religious and cultural traditions throughout history• Comprehensively explores the meanings, history, ideas, and experience of Heaven throughout the world’s exoteric and esoteric traditions• Explores the heavens of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, the Abrahamic traditions, Far Eastern mythologies, and Indigenous nations• Considers questions about our “need” for Heaven, further informed by popular culture, folklore, and personal experienceAcross all ages people have wondered about the afterlife. Is Heaven a reward for good behavior, the home of the gods, or a state of being? As Tobias Churton reveals, such questions and beliefs about the nature of Heaven go back to humanity’s earliest days. Beginning with mythology in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Far East, we find sophisticated conceptions within early philosophy and the Abrahamic religions, many of which persist unchanged. Churton examines the complexities of Jesus’s teaching that “the Kingdom of God is within you” and Islamic ideas about paradise. He analyzes the beliefs of Eastern mystics and Maori, Australian Aboriginal, and Polynesian traditions as well as heavenly conceptions among Indigenous cultures of the Americas. He presents Renaissance-era understandings of Heaven’s connection to the body in the alchemical spiritual medicine of Paracelsus and the mysticism of Jacob Böhme and reveals that Emmanuel Swedenborg, followed by William Blake, controversially associated Heaven with sexuality. Churton then delves into the contemporary era, exploring Heaven from perspectives of spiritualism, psychedelic experience, communist materialism, and the arts, including John Lennon’s lyrical suggestion that we imagine that there is no heaven. Whether Heaven is considered a specific place or a deeply felt state of being, this in-depth investigation emphasizes its resonance and significance for all of humanity.
