Gerald Gliddons classic survey of the Somme battlefield in 1916, first published in 1987 to great acclaim, has been greatly expanded and updated to include the latest research and analysis. Supported by a wide selection of archive photographs and drawing on the testimony of those who took part, this new edition covers the famous battle sites, such as High Wood and Mametz Wood, as well as the lesser-known villages on the outlying flanks. It includes a day-by-day account of the British build-up on the Somme and the ensuing struggle; British and German orders of battle; and a full history of the cemeteries and memorials, both lost and current, that sprang up in the years following the First World War. Gliddon also provides thumbnail biographies of all the senior officers to fall, the winners of the Victoria Cross and those who were shot at dawn, as well as Somme personalities such as George Butterworth. Somme 1916 honours the sacrifices made by the people who fought in one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. Autorid: Gerald Gliddon

'Why is the best blood of England to waste itself in scaling hitherto inaccessible peaks, in staining the eternal snow, and reaching the unfathomable abyss never to return? - The Times, 1865 THE STORY OF HOW A WILD MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE EVOLVED INTO AN ELITE OLYMPIC SPORT In the 1950s, rock climbing was a wild mountain adventure that was defined by a rebellious, bohemian culture and practised by small groups of amateur enthusiasts. Today, rock-climbing has become a professionalised, high-performance, mass-participation Olympic sport. There are now more than 400 climbing walls and over 500,000 people climb regularly in the UK. Ascent tells the story of this remarkable transformation. Anthony King a dedicated climber himself traces the sports evolution through decades of rebellion, innovation and achievement to its place today as a vibrant, diverse culture. His own experiences colour the narrative; we discover not just how climbing developed, but what it feels like to climb and be a climber. More than just a history of the sport, through this story we also see how British society itself has changed. Expansive, immediate and deeply engaging, Ascent is both cultural sport history and lived experience. Autorid: Anthony King

A fresh, accessible history of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary – telling a story of working-class community then and now.The Future in Our Past tells the remarkable story of Britain’s only ever General Strike on its centenary. It is an 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. They compare the struggles of 1926 with those of workers in these same communities today. We meet a Bangladeshi courier involved in wildcat strikes on the Isle of Dogs. The great grandson of a Welsh miner facing redundancy at the blast furnaces of Port Talbot. This is social history at its most immediate and relevant.Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. But for socialists, dreams of a brighter future would have to wait. Cant and Matthew Lee ask why this monumental standoff ended in defeat for the unions despite their huge mobilisation. They set out why the General Strike still matters and the lessons it has f Autorid: Callum Cant, Matthew Lee

Although she still doesn’t approve of marriage – not even for the straights – she is canvassing for yes in the 2015 marriage equality referendum.

The term "culture wars" has taken centre stage in British social and political discourse, characterized by deep divides over values, identity, and sovereignty. These conflicts, driven by class and emancipatory struggles, continue to evolve, highlighting critical divisions over issues such as Brexit, Scottish independence, and attitudes toward the monarchy. Nick Hubble reframes the debate, demonstrating how British culture wars are both unique and interconnected with broader global trends. They explore how cultural divisions shaped British society over the past century, challenging the pervasive narrative of British exceptionalism. Drawing on sources like the British Social Attitudes surveys, political studies, and even literary works such as those by George Orwell, the book traces the legacy of social liberalization and the authoritarian counter-revolution that has emerged in response. With clarity and nuance, Hubble unpacks the ideological dynamics behind terms like "identity politics" and "woke liberalism," offering a fresh framework for understanding the realities of cultural conflict in Britain today.

Colonel Richard E “Butch” Sheffield was a working-class boy from Ohio, who was determined to make his life, exceptional. He was the first man to eject from the fastest airplane in the world the SR-71 Blackbird. He introduced the Pentagon to GPS. He became the right-hand man of avionics genius Ben Rich. Ben asked Butch to search the world for UFOs. From humble beginnings in Rootstown, Ohio, to the upper reaches of classified aerospace innovation, Colonel Richard “Butch” Sheffield’s life was anything but ordinary. Ohio to Supersonic charts his remarkable rise from a small-town boy with a learning disability to one of the most trusted men in American defense, Cold War intelligence, and aerospace history.Chosen in 1964 for the ultra-secretive SR-71 Blackbird programmer, Butch was among the first crew members trained by Lockheed’s Skunk Works. He went on to fly some of the most daring reconnaissance missions of the Cold War – including the first SR-71 over North Korea and a supersonic overflight of the North Pole with no chance of recovery. In 1967, he became the first Air Force officer to eject from an SR-71 and survive. Six weeks later, he returned to flying at Mach 3.Butch’s extraordinary career didn’t end in the cockpit. At the Pentagon, he was a key figure behind the early development of GPS and led operations involving the SR-71 and U-2. As an investigator for Congress, he was granted over 300 code word clearances to probe the nation’s most sensitive intelligence programs. Later, as the Skunk Works’ lone representative in Washington D.C., he became the quiet conduit between Lockheed’s black projects and the halls of power.Written with help from his daughter Linda and the rest of the Sheffield family with warmth and unflinching honesty, Ohio to Supersonic offers an intimate, inspiring, and at times hair-raising account of a man who lived through the birth of modern reconnaissance aviation, shaped national security policy, and never forgot where he came from.This is not just a story of supersonic jets and Cold War missions – it is the story of resilience, humility, faith, and a deep love of country. A must-read for aviation enthusiasts, Cold War historians, and anyone who believes in the power of determination to change a life. Autorid: Colonel Richard E. "Butch" Sheffield

* An enchanting story centred on the herbal delights of Orkney. James Canton, author of Renaturing From the award-winning author of All My Wild Mothers: a lyrical, tender story of creating a wild apothecary garden on the Scottish archipelago of Orkney. With the years of early motherhood and elderly caregiving over, Victoria faces a time of change. She and her family decide to take a leap, moving five hundred miles north of everything they know to the northern Scottish islands of Orkney, where the winters are long and the summer a perpetual light. Uprooted and in an unfamiliar landscape, Victoria instinctively returns to the work of growing, setting out to transform her scrappy backyard into an abundant apothecary garden by the sea, inspired by Orkneys folklore, ancient landscapes and wild nature. Shaped by tides and storms, wild plants and seaweeds, she creates a biodiverse backyard sanctuary filled with micro-habitats, wildflowers and herbs. Here, in her apothecary by the sea, she crafts teas, tinctures and balms inspired by the surrounding soil and seas. As the year closes and the endless summer light turns once more to dark, Victoria finds belonging not only in the garden she has nurtured, but in the landscape that has quietly embraced her and called itself home. Here, at the wild edge of things, she is reclaiming parts of herself long set aside. A beautiful haven of a book; richly nourishing, inspirational and full of hope.

A provocative work of American literary criticism covering Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Faulkner, and others. Fielder's groundbreaking work changed the way we see the American novel--and American culture at large--forever.Leslie Fiedler was one of the most influential critics of the twentieth century, a maverick of American letters whose fearless and impassioned criticism polarized readers but also informs much of our understanding of American literature and culture today. First published in 1960, Love and Death in the American Novel is Fiedler’s magnum opus, a groundbreaking study of the American novel from the time of the revolution to the time of Fiedler’s writing.Fiedler conceived of his book as being itself a kind of gothic novel, one whose subject was the American experience as portrayed in classic American fiction. Through clear-eyed examinations of the works of writers such as Cooper, Poe, Twain, Melville, Hawthorne, and Faulkner, Fiedler makes the audacious—and compelling—argument that the American novel differs from its European counterpart in its inability to deal with sexuality between men and women, and its obsession instead with violence, escape, and death.

This book exposes the strategies that make migrants lives unliveable and explores their resistance to this violence. Drawing on years of research across Europe, the author captures the lived reality of asylum seekers, refugees and other marginalised migrants, including their struggles with constant evictions, detention, push-backs, deportations and violence. Blending feminist, intersectional and decolonial perspectives, the book reframes exhaustion as both a tool of governance and a site of struggle. By amplifying neglected voices and envisioning politics grounded in solidarity, care and friendship, this is a powerful call to rethink how movement, borders and struggle are understood.

A body marked for sacrifice. A secret society in the shadows. And a former soldier who cant walk away. On the fog-drenched moors of Exmoor, Lorne Turner finds a mans body aligned to the stars, carved with occult sigils and posed like an offering. The police write it off as biker gang violence. Lorne knows better. The evidence points in impossible directions: towards a secret fraternity and an old darkness stirring beneath the moor. As Lorne pushes for answers, he finds himself circling The Gnostic Dawn, a hidden order tied to power, privilege, and a force older than faith itself. But the ritual has far-reaching consequences. For Lorne, shadows move where they shouldnt. Voices whisper in the cold air. And he can no longer tell whether the darkness on Exmoor is born of his own trauma, or if its the evil The Gnostic Dawn has awoken. With the help of village vicar Ella Morgan and witch Willow Hunter, Lorne must stop the next sacrifice before the darkness spreading across Exmoor demands another victim. Counting Crows is the first book in the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers series: a dark British supernatural crime thriller set on the mist-drenched moors of Exmoor. Perfect for readers of Merrily Watkins and Rivers of London. This is a truly gripping page-turner of a novel that left me seriously looking forward to the next book.
