The Mate
Sir Jameson. Commander Adams. Bill. The Mate. You won’t have heard of him – yet, in those curious ways history has of connecting us all, chances are you have benefited in some way from the remarkable things he did in his extraordinary life. To tell the story of Jameson Adams is to tell the story of twentieth-century Britain – adventure and exploration, politics and war, poverty and opportunity, employment and health. After running away to sea as a teenager, he worked his way up through the Navy to play a pivotal role in defending the British coast. In 1907, he was chosen by Shackleton himself to be the Nimrod Expedition’s second-in-command, venturing further into the Antarctic than anyone had gone before. Prime Minister Lloyd George personally selected Adams to transform the struggling Munitions Department during the First World War, while his 25-year career with the Ministry of Labour alongside Churchill and Beveridge laid the foundations for the Welfare State. This is a story of adventure and adversity; of courage, care and compassion; of the belief in a better future for everyone – and of always believing in humanity and hope
Travels and Natural History Around the World
Anthony Roberts started travelling soon after he was born. He had his first six birthdays in different counties in England and Scotland as his father was in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. And then came a very difficult period when after TB and his parents’ divorce he returned to Essex with almost no family income. Living on the edge of Epping Forest from the age of eight an interest in the birds, bees and trees became apparent – and continued throughout his life. Foreign travel started with annual visits to Europe with his local Scouts and then with a scholarship to Paris to study French. And then with other scholarships real travel started with a visit to Arctic Lapland with the British Schools Exploring Society when he finished school. This was the first of more than twenty expeditions to thirteen countries, mainly as the doctor and scientist, during his long life. Travel also developed with sport, with study, with work and finally with the joy of travelling and seeing the geography and the people in countries around the world – often decades apart. And always noticing and recording the natural history seen. He has spent more than eight years of his life overseas in 119 countries on seven continents and has spent more than a year under canvas as well as some interesting situations in Sarajevo during their War and also in Azerbaijan, Haiti and Kosovo. And then came Covid and that was the reason that his memoirs were written. He has had a fascinating life which still continues.

Be Like the Sea
‘The one thing you can’t fully control in a ship is the water all around you, so part of your plan is always reading and analysing the currents and the tides. You have a clear image in your head of how you think the ship will perform in the prevailing conditions. But this time something isn't going the way we had planned it …’As a farmer’s daughter in the country’s largest landlocked county, Marie Gleeson’s unusual career choice took her into uncharted waters. Working her way up from gruelling bootcamp training to leading a drug interdiction operation seizing €700 million of cocaine from a yacht off the Kerry coast, she was a leader among men and rose to every challenge. Developing a love of the sea, Marie learned that to be at one with it required agility, and a willingness to change, to go with the wind – not against it. These lessons prepared her for operating without a life raft when her personal life threw her the greatest challenge of all. Be Like the Sea is the inspiring story of what happens when we overcome our own self-imposed physical, mental and emotional limitations, and a blueprint for charting our own unique path in life.
Inherited Fate
'Riveting . . . This enthralling book will make you think more deeply about your own relationships, and the things that have been left unsaid.' MAIL ON SUNDAY'Immediately appealing . . . a welcome deepening of how we understand the human predicament and a pertinent antidote to the sometimes aggressive individualism of our time.' THE IRISH TIMES------The international bestseller. Our families shape who we are. From the circumstances of our conception and the family structure we are born into, to the expectations placed upon us and the love we receive, we are formed by our social and familial network. So if we want to truly know ourselves – to find out why we falter, to explain our anxieties, our repeated relationship patterns – we must look beyond our own lives and discover the secrets, unprocessed losses, and limiting beliefs of our parents, grandparents, and even to ancestors we have never met. In Inherited Fate, psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations. Illustrated with vivid stories and questions that invite the reader to engage personally, Inherited Fate is a fascinating framework for discovery of the self, the dismantling of inherited beliefs and the revelation of wisdom stored in the body. We cannot undo what has happened, but if we understand it, the past can help give a different shape to the present and to our future. Inherited Fate explores:the impact of the events surrounding conception and birth – such as the stress our mothers experienced during pregnancy, the expectations of our parents about our sex or our role in the family, or where we fall in the birth order;the far-reaching spillover effects of repressing trauma – both individual and collective;the deep marks left by the attachment pattern formed in childhood, and how it returns in the relationships of adulthood;how family secrets divide us, distort reality and destroy trust, even when they remain buried. ----‘Illuminating . . . A compassionate understanding of how we can recognise and reconcile the legacies we carry.’ Galit Atlas, psychoanalyst and author of Emotional Inheritance‘A deep and comprehensive look at the ways that those ordinary people we call “parents” unwittingly share their pain with their children; and how important it is for all of us “children” to be aware of such historical pain, and explore ways to transform it.’ Gwen Adshead, forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist and author of The Devil You Know'A sage companion for anyone who has wanted, or needed, to confront the past and engage with the present. Inherited Fate is full of possibility and curiosity, and disrupts the avoidant gaze . . . Offers rigour to the ongoing conversation of embodied trauma.' Maxine Mei-Fung Chung, psychotherapist and author of What Women Want

The Price of Victory
The final instalment of N.A.M. Rodger's definitive, authoritative trilogy on Britain's naval historyAt the end of the French and Napoleonic wars, British sea-power was at its apogee. But by 1840, as one contemporary commentator put it, the Admiralty was full of ‘intellects becalmed in the smoke of Trafalgar’. How the Royal Navy reformed and reinvigorated itself in the course of the nineteenth century is just one thread in this magnificent book, which refuses to accept standard assumptions and analyses. All the great actions are here, from Navarino in 1827 (won by a daringly disobedient Admiral Codrington) to Jutland, D-Day, the Battle of the Atlantic and the battles in the Pacific in 1944/45 in concert with the US Navy. The development and strategic significance of submarine and navy air forces is superbly described, as are the rapid evolution of ships (from classic Nelsonic type, to hybrid steam/sail ships, then armour-clad and the fully armoured Dreadnoughts and beyond) and weapons. The social history of officers and men – and sometimes women – always a key part of the author’s work, is not neglected. Rodger sets all this in the essential context of politics and geo-strategy. The character and importance of leading admirals – Beatty, Fisher, Cunningham – is assessed, together with the roles of other less famous but no less consequential figures. Based on a lifetime’s learning, it is the culmination of one of the most significant British historical works in recent decades. Naval specialists will find much that is new here, and will be invigorated by the originality of Rodger’s judgements; but everyone who is interested in the one of the central threads in British history will find it rewarding.

When She Remembered
When She Remembered showcases an intertwined group of seven influential women, from well-known figures such as Simone Veil to memory activist Sabine Zlatin, who shaped the production of Holocaust memory in France from 1945 to the present. Most of these women began their memory work immediately after the war by testifying at perpetrator trials and when monuments were commissioned. In the subsequent decades, their work transformed from personal memory projects to large-scale, politically driven initiatives. Through decades of engagement with Holocaust memory, these seven individuals ensured the stories of Jewish women were featured in the greater wartime narrative. In doing so, they deliberately shifted the French discourse on the Holocaust away from a focus on victimization and resistance to female agency during the fight for survival under Nazi occupation. Alongside other activists, these women became political actors by pushing the state to reckon with the legacy of French complicity in the deportation of Jews. Pulling from diverse archival sources as well as material culture and oral histories, When She Remembered convincingly reveals why the themes of gender, resistance, and memory continue to resonate widely in French history.
The Last Ditch
'A BOOK THAT ENTERS THE GAA CANON' THE 42'A MAGICAL-MYSTERY TOUR OF A GAA SEASON' IRISH INDEPENDENT'A cracking read ... a championship season as redemption song.' MICHAEL CLIFFORD"All the tension of a tight knockout encounter ... one of the books of the year." MIKE McCORMACKTwenty-one years on from his bestselling The Road to Croker, sportswriter Eamonn Sweeney set out to follow the All-Ireland championships around the country once again. But there was one problem. To make the journey, he would have to confront a secret fear that had quietly shaped his life. On the pitch, The Last Ditch captures the drama of a hurling season for the ages and a football championship that tested even the most loyal supporters - a landscape of unlikely triumphs, renaissances, shocks, cliffhangers and heartbreak. Off the field, it becomes something deeper: one man's reckoning with middle age, masculinity and a crippling travel phobia that for two decades had dictated the span of his quiet, rural existence. As he moves through towns, terraces and conversations, Sweeney discovers not just the unifying spirit of the GAA, but the possibility of reclaiming a life he thought he'd lost. Both an unforgettable sporting odyssey and a profoundly human memoir, The Last Ditch is a testament to how in Ireland, when all else fails, the GAA brings us home again.

And, yet, it is another world, full of beauty and possibility, too. After the sun goes down, insomnia and sleep paralysis do threaten. But some have always walked the nocturnal landscapes, with more or less confidence. Others have worked, night shifts and hidden night work: nurses, security guards, sex workers. And some have found solace in the darkness, from queer rave culture to religious pre-dawn traditions. From dusk through to day, Arifa Akbar elegantly explores how the night shapes our bodies, minds and cultures. A personal and artistic journey from fear and into hope, Wolf Moon embraces the dark before bringing us, once more, into the light. Praise for Consumed:? 'Beguiling . . . this one stands out for its eccentricity and elegiac splendour' Diana Evans, Guardian? 'Moving, engrossing, elegantly written' Sunday Times? 'I have rarely read a memoir with such a combination of powerful, tender feelings and cool-headed analysis' Mail on Sunday
The God of Wild Places
A pastor walks out of the church and into the woods, in pursuit of the God he's lost. Millions of Americans, disillusioned with organized religion, yearn for meaning and transcendence in their lives, and many of them are finding that in nature. When pastor and theologian Tony Jones, PhD, had his crisis of faith, brought on by personal trauma and broken relationships, he sought solace in the outdoors—paddling a canoe, hunting with his dog, butchering deer. When he walked out of the church and into the woods, he left the orderly pews and numbered hymns for chaotic spaces and untamed wilderness. And he re-discovered God — a God who brings peace in the midst of storms, a God who lives in the community of our fellow creatures, a God who's acquainted with death. This is the God of wild places. In The God of Wild Places, Tony mines his own experiences, recent research in evolutionary psychology, and ancient wisdom from various spiritual and philosophical traditions to fashion lessons about solitude, the predator-prey relationship, the importance of place, risk, failure, and death, and the chaotic presence of God. Tony's guidance in The God of Wild Places promises to introduce a generation of Americans to the transcendence available only in untamed spaces; his writing draws on wisdom from Christianity to Buddhism, Kant to Cioran, Jim Harrison to Annie Dillard. This is a journey of loss and discovery through forests and fields, lakes and streams, from knowing to unknowing, from finding to losing—from life to death, and then back to life. This new paperback edition features a fresh preface from Tony, reflecting on the book’s reception and the continuing search for the divine in nature.
Strangers on the Shore
A genre-blending work of autofiction and memoir from the cult author of The Giro Playboy'Essential reading for new dads' LIAS SAOUDITotally sublime. Every sentence radiates' RICHARD MILWARD'A book that changes how you see the world' ALI MILLAR'A rare, companionable and gorgeous book' ROB DOYLEIn Strangers on the Shore, Michael Smith - author of cult classic The Giro Playboy, which captured the arty demi-monde of Shoreditch gentrifying into a hipster hellscape - stays one step ahead of the property developers as he stumbles through the uncanny psychic landscape of Hastings, in an astonishing work of autofiction that explores the experience of becoming a father and the disarming grief of leaving your youth and its dreams behind. The flâneuring Michael at the centre of the book has moved down to the 'dogshit capital of the South Coast,' started a family and opened a bar. He finds himself pouring wine in a 'drinking town with a fishing problem,' philosophising, procrastinating, morbidly obsessed with Aleister Crowley, who died in poverty in a BnB in this shabby seaside resort full of artistes and occult morris dancers. A book about what it is like to live on the margins, sliding into a precarious middle age in turbulent times, both giving up and starting a-new, Strangers on the Shore is deeply and unashamedly romantic, whilst also angry about the dystopian Britain we've sleepwalked into. Revered by Andrew Weatherall as 'the acid house Montaigne' and The Idler as 'Rimbauld on the dole,' Michael Smith has written an endlessly moving book of transcendent beauty about fathers and songs and the pleasures of an introspective life.
