The Strange Death of Christian England, and Its Glorious Resurrection
In 2019 Melvyn Bragg, in a Sunday Times interview with Bryan Appleyard, described being at a family christening when the priest asked everyone to join in the Lord’s Prayer. Bragg realised he was the only one who knew the words. “We have lost it Bryan, in two generations“ said Bragg, “not just the faith but the narratives that go with it” As the son of a clergyman who grew up in rural north Suffolk in the 1950s Andrew Hayward realised that Bragg spoke the truth. Indeed, the church attendance figures prove it. This book is not just about the loss of faith but what then happened to society in its absence. How it affected education, culture and indeed life itself. The age of deference was dead. The author took four years to write this book and happily, as a Christian, post covid has seen numerous signs of revival. Long may that continue.
Broken Circle
An ancient legend reborn. A killer recreating dark rituals. And a detective racing to break the circle before it’s complete. When the body of a teenage girl is found posed in the Merry Maidens stone circle, her face coated in clay and ochre, DS Liam Kilshaw is drawn into a case where near-forgotten fictions bleed into brutal fact. With echoes of an old folktale of dancers turned to stone, the scene is more about staging than superstition. And when two skeletons are unearthed beneath a nearby stone, Kilshaw realises the past is far from dead and buried. As he hunts for a missing farmhand linked to the girl, more victims surface, each placed with ritual precision in remote ancient sites. With the noose tightening, Kilshaw must decipher centuries-old secrets to break the circle. Because in this deadly game of ancient rites and cold-blooded murder, the killer is saving the most important sacrifice for last. A haunting crime thriller where medieval legends collide with modern murder, perfect for fans of LJ Ross and Peter James.
The Cheese and the Worms
The fiftieth-anniversary edition of the classic tale of a sixteenth-century miller facing the Roman Inquisition. The Cheese and the Worms is an incisive study of popular culture in the sixteenth century as seen through the eyes of one man, the miller known as Menocchio, who was accused of heresy during the Inquisition and sentenced to death. In the fiftieth anniversary edition of this now-classic book, Carlo Ginzburg uses the trial records to illustrate the religious and social conflicts of the society Menocchio lived in. For a common miller, Menocchio was surprisingly literate. In his trial testimony, he made references to more than a dozen books, including the Bible, Boccaccio's Decameron, Mandeville's Travels, and a "mysterious" book that may have been the Koran. And what he read he recast in terms familiar to him, as in his own version of the creation: "All was chaos, that is earth, air, water, and fire were mixed together; and of that bulk a mass formed—just as cheese is made out of milk—and worms appeared in it, and these were the angels."Ginzburg's massively influential book has been widely regarded as an early example of the analytic, case-oriented approach known as microhistory. In the preface, Ginzburg offers his own corollary to Menocchio's story as he considers the discrepancy between the intentions of the writer and what gets written. The Italian miller's story and Ginzburg's work continue to resonate with modern readers because they focus on how oral and written culture are inextricably linked. Menocchio's 500-year-old challenge to authority remains evocative and vital today.

The Pretenders
Three couples. Two exes. One day of reckoning. Jasper’s brother Edmund has never been exciting, but he is reliable and always there for his little brother, no matter what. It’s only natural that the day after their engagement, Jasper and bride-to-be Holly decide to surprise Edmund with a celebratory visit. John, Jasper’s fun loving and devoted best friend, comes along. Of course he wouldn’t think of missing such an occasion. Anne joins them, because she’s John’s wife and Jasper is a huge part of her life. Edmund and Ovidia aren’t expecting visitors, but they can’t exactly say no when Jasper and the others walk into their London mansion one Saturday morning in spring. Ovidia is not supposed to be there. Perhaps Edmund is not as reliable as Jasper believed. Maybe John doesn’t know everything about his best friend. Today they will all have to face the consequences of the lies they’ve told themselves.
Birds Up Close
A renowned engineer and ornithologist reveals the marvel of how birds work from the tips of their beaks to the sheen of their tailfeathers. With over 150 full-color illustrations, a unique gift book for everyone from the avid birder to the bird beginner. Consider feathers: They define birds wings, enabling flight. They insulate against cold. They repel water. They even control sound. And how feathers work is just one aspect of the wonders of birds explained by pathbreaking researcher and lifelong birder Lorna Gibson in Birds Up Close. Feathers, bones, bills, eggs, flight: all come in for scrutiny in this engaging book. What produces the iridescence of plumage? How does the internal structure of a bird s bones make them lightweight? How do different birds use their bills and tongues from woodpeckers penetrating the holes they drill to hummingbirds imbibing nectar, to sandpipers needling the sand, and to phalaropes drawing water droplets containing plankton into their mouths without sucking (no lips!)? Drawing on her expertise and personal experience in both engineering and ornithology, the author explores the hidden microscopic structures and engineering principles that keep birds aloft and alive how an egg is formed, how a bird generates lift; how raptors soar and glide, albatrosses fly thousands of miles, hummingbirds hover, puffins and penguins fly underwater. She also considers the longer view of birds in their habitats and natural history. Her up-close look at avian mysteries provides a perspective like no other for the expert ornithologist and curious observer alike.

The Prison Project
As a young, novice dance teacher, Aimee Friel’s first full-time job took an unexpected turn when she was asked to teach regular dance classes for young offenders at a Scottish prison. Many of her students were her own age, but their worlds couldn’t have been more different. Thrown into chaotic classes filled with cringeworthy chat-up lines, cheeky Glaswegian banter, and hilarious dad-dancing, Aimee embarked on a journey of growth alongside the young men in her classes. She faced challenges including impromptu drum sessions, a stolen safety alarm and the harsh realities of trauma, toxic masculinity and stigma. As trust built, so did transformation. Through comedic tea breaks, some difficult conversations and unexpected choreography, Aimee was drawn to the deeper roots of incarceration – from adverse childhood experiences to homelessness and substance misuse. Interwoven with personal reflection, including her own family’s struggle with addiction and trauma, The Prison Project challenges perceptions and asks what it really takes to make a difference in the lives of young people.

The Future in our Past
The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. It is a compelling on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. The question of power hung in the air as rank-and-file militants pursued a chaotic, improvised and wildly uneven confrontation with the British ruling class. This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Cant and Lee revisit the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.
The Mineral Reset
From the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, a guide to the importance of mineral replenishment for optimal health and how to restore the minerals your body needs to function at its best. Minerals are the substrate of literally everything in the galaxy, even the universe. They are the building blocks and fuel, for all cellular life. Without minerals life would cease to exist and in fact, our own bodies would stop functioning, within hours. It’s amazing that the most basic understanding of something so fundamental to life is not taught, or even thought much about by even the most educated doctors and practitioners. You wouldn’t own a car if you didn’t know the basics of how to fill up the gas tank, or what to fill it with. But here we are, living in our bodies daily, mostly unaware that we have no idea how our body’s energy systems work and how to replenish them effectively. So, we struggle, with weight, inflammation, sleep, cravings, brain fog, low energy and a general feeling that “something is missing”. There is something missing: minerals! Minerals, and how they contribute to health, is widely misunderstood, resulting in misinformation and products that confuse people and ultimately cause more problems than they solve. Understanding some simple facts about how minerals operate in the body and how a person can easily and effectively replenish their body’s mineral stores, can be a game changer for anyone experiencing chronic issues related to physical, mental, emotional and energetic health. This book is about the human body as a holistic ecosystem made of cells and an introduction into minerals as a cornerstone of cellular ecosystem health. Told through story, metaphors, visual descriptions and simple language, this book makes a complex subject accessible. This book is written for anyone who recognizes in themselves that hidden hunger (that sense that something is missing), or seeks answers to why they are struggling to thrive.

Deluxe Limited Edition Paperback with Stenciled Edges!
In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord's middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That's all right: he's done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes.
Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia's caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy's a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who's tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there's more to him than he'd ever intended to show.

From Manchester’s backstreets to global dancefloors – the untold story of a musical pioneer.

Pickering has lived through decades of rapid change in popular music. As an influential DJ he introduced house music into the legendary Haçienda. He signed Happy Mondays and James to Factory Records before working with Kasabian, Gossip and Calvin Harris at Sony. His Mercury Prize-winning, multi-million-selling group M People transformed the music industry's attitude to dance music. As he tells his remarkable story he introduces an array of friends and collaborators, many of whom would become important – and sometimes notorious – figures in music history. Manchester must dance is a revelatory insider’s account that moves from the cramped back streets of 1950s north Manchester on a journey deep into music, the city and the wider world.
