We talk about the weather a lot. It exasperates, confounds and on occasion delights us. Our national conversation is dominated by the weather, but how much do we really know about it? In Bring Me Sunshine, Charlie Connelly sets off on the trail of our island obsession. He breezes through the lives of meteorological eccentrics, geniuses, rainmakers and cloud-busters and brings vividly to life great weather events from history. He sheds light on Britain's weirdest wind, why we have the wettest place in England to thank for the trusty pencil, the debt that umbrella owners owe to Robinson Crusoe and why people once thought firing cannons at clouds was a great idea. Having adventured round the shipping forecast areas for his bestselling Attention All Shipping, Connelly is the perfect guide through a mélange of gales, blizzards, mists, heatwaves and the occasional shower of fish. By turns informative, entertaining and hilarious, Bring Me Sunshine answers all your weather questions as well as helping you to distinguish your graupel from your petrichor.
Laird's debut collection, To a Fault (2005), signalled the arrival of a significant new talent, 'doing more, in its range and ambition,' wrote Deryn Rees-Jones in the Independent, 'than any first collection I can think of in at least the last ten years.' On Purpose confirms the promise of that first book and shows the author hitting new and yet more athletic strides. Blending tones of assurance and delicacy, of confidence and vulnerability, On Purpose is a collection of poems that takes care and consideration in examining the often brutal arena of human relations, concluding with a mercurial and affecting sequence about a marriage, which takes, as its point of departure, that most influential of military treatise, The Art of War.
Richard Wagner remains, almost 130 years after his death, the most controversial composer in the history of music. Creator of huge and hugely ambitious operas, which have an immense immediate impact, as well as providing food for endless thought and discussion, Wagner has had an influence on many fields outside music. In this lively pocket guide, Michael Tanner gives concise accounts of all his operas - the likes of Parsifal, Lohengrin and Tristan und Isolde - showing how important it is to grasp the dramatic situations at every point, and indicating some of the key musical features. He also provides an outline of Wagner's astonishing life, and shows that he has often been unfairly criticised and made a scapegoat, especially for political events which took place long after his death. Key features include: - Wagner: his life year by year - Wagner: his music work by work - Things people said about Wagner - Essential Wagner: ten great moments - Wagner on CD and DVD - Wagner bibliography This indispensable Faber Pocket Guide provides a wealth of insights into Wagner and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in both and the man and his music. '(P]robably the best introduction ever written to this most complex of composers.' Simon Heffer, Telegraph
An accessible history of Derby from Ancient Britain to the present day, highlighting the citys significant events and people. The area around Derby has been inhabited for millennia from prehistory, through Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Viking settlements. The Mercian queen Ethelflaeda won a significant victory against the Vikings at Derby and the town became an important monastic centre in the Middle Ages and was in the front line of later conflicts during the Civil War and the Jacobite Rebellion. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries marked the development of industrial Derby, including the new porcelain industry, and at the same time it attracted a group of Enlightenment thinkers, artists, scientists and reforming industrialists, including Erasmus Darwin and Joseph Wright, who were to leave their mark on the country. Famous manufacturing names such as Rolls-Royce made Derby their home and todays city is now redeveloping itself in a post-industrial world.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Derby has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors, and all those with links to the city.

What of our lives that pass so quickly? What stories have we written? What have we learned? What can we pass on to others? I look at life as a collection of stories; those that I have made myself, others that I've been part of, and those I have witnessed or read about. I ask myself, will the stories to come be as bountiful as those already created? Will the stories to come fill me with emotions like these that I relive through my poetry, taking me deeply to the moment they happened and recapturing original thoughts and feelings, whether of joy or some sadness? Stepping from Thoughts tells my poetic stories of adventures that have pushed and pulled me, thoughts on the trials and tribulations of life, and how I see the world. We all look through our own spectacles so our worldviews naturally and beautifully differ. Like most people I daydream, but those dreams are pointless if they remain imaginations. Stepping from Thoughts includes wide-ranging inspirational stories that share how some of those dreams have become reality. I hope you enjoy these poetic stories, but I also hope you're out there creating your own. Autorid: Mark Butler

I don t know how my pictures happen, they just do. They exist, but for the life of me I can t explain them . Beryl Cook, O.B.E. 1926 - 2008 Beryl Cook began to paint during the 1960s and became a local phenomenon in Cornwall, England where she lived with her family, but it wasn t until 1975 that she first exhibited her work. Her appeal was classless and she rapidly became Britain s most popular artist. She was a heart and soul painter, compelled to paint with a passion. Her work became instantly recognisable and was soon a part of our artistic vernacular. A modern-day Hogarth, Beryl Cook was a social observer, albeit with a more sympathetic view of humanity. The warm, original style of her paintings encapsulates joy. She possessed that rare gift the power to uplift. Now the work of Beryl Cook can be seen again, both by her loyal fans and a new generation, in this vibrant and fun product range from Kinkajou. Autorid: Beryl Cook
