A Golden World
'A wonderfully stylish, gloriously technicolour book' - NANDINI DAS'An absolute joy to read' - DR STEPHANIE PRATT'Rich, original, and eye-opening' - ALICE HUNT'A sparkling cabinet of curiosities' - CAROLINE DODDS PENNOCKFrom rumours of lost Amazonian cities of gold to the silver running through the mountains of Bolivia, hopes for dazzling wealth fuelled the imperial fantasies of the Tudors and Stuarts. But while stories of treasure ships and privateers like Walter Raleigh have become entrenched in national myths - what did Elizabethans actually know about Mexico, the Amazon rainforest, or the Chesapeake? How did Indigenous people and knowledge enter the art, fashion, and literature of Shakespeare's time - and at what cos? Golden World illuminates how the Americas became a visible and material presence in English culture, through a range of unexpected objects: from tobacco leaves strewn in playhouses to a boy wearing a pearl earring. Award-winning historian Lauren Working presents an altogether new history of the 'golden age' of 16th century England, that considers the desire for power, land and resources in the first era of colonization, alongside the craft and labour of those in the Americas who contributed to the English Renaissance as we know it.
The Little Guide to Balmain
A key brand in France's post-war fashion renaissance, Balmain is one of the most dynamic, decadent and daring fashion houses to date. Founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945, the brand quickly gained fashion fame through its opulent designs and refusal to compromise on luxury. Balmain boasts meticulously embellished evening wear and is seen to be one of the pioneers of modern fashion, alongside brands such as Dior and Chanel. Balmain remained the creative director until his death in 1982, after which various designers drove the brand forward into the 21st century. Today Balmain has secured its reputation as a modern fashion powerhouse, best summarised by creative director Olivier Rousteing's philosophy - "Fashion is Revolution, not Evolution". The brand's commitment to radical reinvention keeps it at the forefront of fashion, and this little guide will keep readers' finger on the pulse. Sample Content"Dressmaking is the architecture of movement." - Pierre Balmain"I'm obsessed with Pierre Balmain - I try to talk to him as much as I can, but it's obviously a monologue because I have no answer." - Olivier RousteingOliver Rousteing was only 25 when he joined Balmain as its creative director.
The Devil Reached Toward the Sky
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST - THE 'MASTERPIECE' DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF THE ATOMIC BOMB'A comprehensive account... focuses not just on the voices of scientists [but] explores overlooked pieces of the Manhattan Project's history.' -Daily Mail 'This period in history has never been more relevant and frightening than it is today... A masterpiece.'-James Patterson "Comprehensive and engrossing...Excellent oral history."-Kirkus Reviews***From the international bestselling author of The Only Plane in the Sky, a sweeping oral history of the atomic bomb's creation and deploymentApril 12, 1945. Less than three months into his vice presidency, Harry Truman is catapulted into the Oval Office following the sudden death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As he recites the oath, he learns a chilling secret known only to a select few: the United States is on the verge of deploying a weapon of unimaginable power. This weapon could end the war but also herald a new age of global fear and uncertainty. Drawing from over twenty-five oral history archives across the US, Japan, and Europe, Graff has masterfully blended the memories and perspectives from key figures like Harry Truman and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the crews of the B-29 bombers, Enola Gay and Bock's Car, the rescuers who bravely faced the destruction, and the haunting stories of those at ground zero in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including the experiences of the hibakusha - the 'bomb-affected people'. Enriched by memoirs, diaries, letters, official documents, and news reports, this is an immersive and deeply human account of the Manhattan Project through the end of World War II and the dawning of the Cold War, offering a vivid, multi-dimensional view of events that reshaped the world forever.
Mayowa and the Fire of Speech
The second title in a dazzlingly imaginative adventure trilogy about one girl's power to change the world through the magic of book-jumping and the strength of words. 8+ fans of Pages & Co., Amari and the Night Brothers and The Book of Stolen Dreams will be captivated. Eleven-year-old Mayowa is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: a long-awaited trip to Nigeria to visit her family. But this isn’t just any holiday. Ever since discovering her unusual gift — passed down from her British Grandpa Edward — Mayowa has been learning to harness a strange and brilliant magic. All she has to do is leap onto a book, and the emotions inside its pages surge through her, sweeping her into wild, unpredictable experiences. When she arrives in Nigeria, Mayowa quickly realises that her British relatives aren’t the only ones with secrets. Her enigmatic great-aunt, Iya Ibeji, welcomes her to Alaafia, a peaceful haven just outside Lagos, and introduces her to esin l’oro — an ancient art that reveals the true power of spoken words. Under her aunt’s guidance, Mayowa begins to understand how language can bend, shape, and even rewrite reality itself. But magic isn’t the only thing Mayowa is trying to master. Torn between her British upbringing and her Nigerian heritage, she wrestles with the question that has followed her for years: where does she truly belon? hen oil is discovered beneath Alaafia, the paradise her aunt has built comes under threat. To protect the people she loves, Mayowa must draw on every part of herself — British and Nigerian, book-jumper and word-weaver. The battle for Alaafia will demand both kinds of magic. The real question is: can Mayowa find the courage to use them?

I can't recommend it enough' Harriet EvansJourneying across Britain, from West Penwith and Avebury to the Lake District and Orkney, Stone Lands uncovers the magic and rich history of our incredible prehistoric standing stones. It conveys the delight that lies in tracking them down, as well as the solace these ancient places offer in times of darkness.

A long-time megalith enthusiast, she found the ancient stones resonated with her more profoundly than ever as she faced the prospect of losing him. Set upright thousands of years ago, the megaliths are symbols of endurance and survival, standing in contrast to our ephemeral human lives. Infused with folklore, legend and mystery, they enchant the landscape and bring magic to our modern world. This enthralling memoir is woven delicately around great grief but is ultimately about embracing life, joy and ancient wonder - a luminous reminder of what it means to exist on this earth.
