  • A Better Tomorrow: Life Lessons in Hope and Strength

    05

    There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you – Maya Angelou

    Mina Smallman has lived through the unimaginable. On Saturday 6 June 2020, her daughters, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, were killed in a park by a male stranger as they celebrated Bibaa’s birthday.

    Mina has been fighting for justice ever since – for her daughters, and for the rest of us, by challenging the toxic culture in the Metropolitan Police and calling out the wider institutional misogyny, racism and classism in Britain. Now, she tells her story for the first time. Starting from her childhood in foster care and arriving at the present day, Mina looks back on her time as a schoolteacher, and then as the first woman of colour to be an Archdeacon in the Church of England, before sharing her experience of losing her two daughters, Bibaa and Nicole.

    Told through grief and with compassion, humour and love, this deeply personal memoir is Mina’s beacon of hope, which calls for all of us to step up, collectively, and work together for a better future.

  • A Blue New Deal: Why We Need a New Politics for the Ocean

    01
    An urgent account of the state of our oceans today—and what we must do to protect them
     
    The ocean sustains life on our planet, from absorbing carbon to regulating temperatures, and, as we exhaust the resources to be found on land, it is becoming central to the global market. But today we are facing two urgent challenges at sea: massive environmental destruction, and spiraling inequality in the ocean economy.
     
    Chris Armstrong reveals how existing governing institutions are failing to respond to the most pressing problems of our time, arguing that we must do better. Armstrong examines these crises—from the fate of people whose lands will be submerged by sea level rise to the exploitation of people working in fishing to the rights of marine animals—and makes the case for a powerful World Ocean Authority capable of tackling them. A Blue New Deal presents a radical manifesto for putting equality, democracy, and sustainability at the heart of ocean politics.

  • A Brief History of Life in Victorian Britain (Brief Histories)

    08

    The Victorian era has dominated the popular imagination like no other period, but these myths and stories also give a very distorted view of the 19th century.

    The early Victorians were much stranger that we usually imagine, and their world would have felt very different from our own and it was only during the long reign of the Queen that a modern society emerged in unexpected ways.

    Using character portraits, events, and key moments Paterson brings the real life of Victorian Britain alive – from the lifestyles of the aristocrats to the lowest ranks of the London slums. This includes the right way to use a fan, why morning visits were conducted in the afternoon, what the Victorian family ate and how they enjoyed their free time, as well as the Victorian legacy today – convenience food, coffee bars, window shopping, mass media, and celebrity culture.

    Praise for Dicken’s London:

    Out of the babble of voices, Michael Paterson has been able to extract the essence of London itself. Read this book and re-enter the labyrinth of a now-ancient city.’ Peter Ackroyd

  • A Brief History of Thailand: Monarchy, War and Resilience: The Fascinating Story of the Gilded Kingdom at the Heart of Asia (Brief History of Asia) (Brief History Of Asia Series)

    01
    Thailand is known for its picturesque beaches and famous temples, but there’s much more to this popular holiday destination than many realize.

    A Brief History of Thailand offers an engaging look at the country’s last 250 years―from coups and violent massacres to the invention of Pad Thai in the 1930’s. Readers will learn the vibrant story of Thailand’s emergence as a prosperous Buddhist state, its transformation from traditional kingdom to democratic constitutional monarchy and its subsequent rise to prominence in Southeast Asian affairs.

    Thailand’s dramatic history spans centuries of conflict, and this book recounts many of these fascinating episodes, including:

    • The true story of Anna Leonowens, the British governess hired to teach the children of King Mongkut, fictionalized in Margaret Landon’s bestselling novel Anna and the King of Siam and turned into a hit Rodgers and Hammerstein musical and film, The King and I
    • The bloodless Siamese Revolution of 1932 that established overnight the first constitutional monarchy in Asia, ending almost eight centuries of absolute rule and creating a democratic system of parliamentary government
    • The Japanese invasion of Thailand and construction of the ‘Bridge Over the River Kwai’ made famous by the novel and Oscar-winning film
    • The mysterious death of King Ananda Mahidol, murdered in his bed in 1946, and a source of controversy ever since
    • The development of Thailand as an international playground during the Vietnam War, when American military used it as rowdy destination for servicemen on furlough
    • The 70-year reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world’s longest-serving monarch, who was born in the U.S., educated in Switzerland, loved to play the saxophone and was idolized by his people

    With this book, historian and professor Richard A. Ruth has skillfully crafted an accessible cultural and political history of an understudied nation. Covering events through the King’s death in 2016, A Brief History of Thailand will be of interest to students, travelers and anyone hoping to learn more about this part of the world.

    01
    The British monarchy is at a turning point. Concise and engaging, this book charts the very beginnings of British reign through to the longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II – and looks forward to the reign of King Charles III.

    Much more than a linear history, this is the intertwined story of royalty and state, of divisions, invasions, rivalries, death and glory; the story of nation fates deeply tied with the personal endeavours of monarchs through the ages. Black expertly weaves together thematic chapters from the origins of monarchy, medieval times and sixteenth-century developments, to the crises of the seventeenth-century, settlement and imperialism, and the challenges of the modern age. Exploring the House of Wessex, the Norman Conquest, Henry VIII and the Tudors, Victorianism and key events such as abdication of Edward VIII, this book is a necessary and comprehensive guide to the British Monarchy and how it has shaped history – and our lives today.

  • A Brief History of the Dynasties of China (Brief History) (Brief Histories)

    08

    Although China’s great empire lasted for longer than any other, no country has suffered so great an imbalance between the fame of its art and obscurity of its history. The names of the great dynasties are familiar, yet who can actually locate a T’ang horse or a Ming vase in its social or cultural context?

    By focusing on the key colourful characters of the eight major dynasties, Bamber Gascoigne brings to life 3500 years of Chinese civilization. His bird’s-eye view starts on the borders of myth. It moves swiftly on to the greatest achievements of language and thought, the cultural treasures and imperial palaces, wars won and lands lost to the Mongols, finally to arrive at the 1912 Revolution, which contained within it the seeds of Communism that ensured the overthrow of the last emperor. Via this portrait of an empire and its peoples he has opened the door to a world for too long inaccessible to the West.

  • A Brief History of Vietnam: Colonialism, War and Renewal: The Story of a Nation Transformed (Brief History Of Asia Series)

    This accessible guide is your one-stop shop for discovering Vietnamese history.

    A Brief History of Vietnam explores the fascinating, turbulent history of a land that has risen from the ashes of war to become a leading economic power. This book expertly examines the history of a people and a nation with ancient roots but which only took its current shape in the 19th century under French colonial rule and its current name in 1945.

    Before that landmark year, Vietnam was known by many names, under many rulers. Located in the geographical center of Southeast Asia, the country we call “Vietnam” was ruled by China, a series of Vietnamese emperors, and the French. A devastating, decades-long conflict for independence ensued, ending with the conclusion of the Vietnam War in 1975.

    Key topics include:

    • China’s ancient conquest of Vietnam and the millennia-long struggle of the Vietnamese for independence from its powerful neighbor to the north.
    • The reign of the Nguyen dynasty, the last dynasty to rule Vietnam, with its capital at the ancient city of Hue, today a UNESCO world heritage site.
    • France’s eventual colonization of Vietnam, which lasted for over 60 years, culminating in the dramatic Battle of Dien Bien Phu.
    • The story of Ho Chi Minh, educated in France, who attended the Treaty of Versailles to advocate for independence and became Vietnam’s first President after the Vietnam War.
    • The violent political split between North and South, which resulted in a devastating war with the United States and eventual victory by the Communists.
    • The country’s miraculous emergence from three decades of war and its path to becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing economies today.
    • Perfect for history buffs of all kinds, the book includes 32 pages of vivid color photos that depict the country’s rich history. Journalist Bill Hayton’s accessible prose makes A Brief History of Vietnam an essential study of a beautiful, complex land in the heart of Southeast Asia and its worldwide influence.

  • A Brief History of Witchcraft and the Occult: A Beginner’s Journey from the Surreal to the Scientific, From Crystals and Tarot to Science and Philosophy

    08

    Journey back with this brief and introductory history to the real origin of witchcraft and the occult—and find out why they’ve been feared and misunderstood for thousands of years.

    From ancient Egyptian healers and Celtic druids to the Salem witch trial victims and modern-day Wiccans, witches have always been misunderstood. Because of that, they’ve been feared, persecuted, and blamed for everything from failing crops and miscarriages to wars and famines.

    But what’s the true story behind caricatures like the Sanderson Sisters and the Wicked Witch of the West? When and where did witchcraft begin, and how has it evolved over time? Which practices and traditions have survived from the ancient world? And why do people really fear witches?

    To find the answers, we have to journey back almost to the beginning of history, to a time when magic and those who practiced it were respected members of society. Over time, that would change. By tracing that evolution, we can learn more not only about witchcraft and the occult, but about why our society is both intrigued by and afraid of it.

    In this fascinating book, you’ll learn about the various ways magic has been used in both the ancient and modern world, including:

    • How ancient Egyptians used magic for healing and protection…but also vengeance
    • Why magicians in ancient Mesopotamia held the keys to civilization
    • How a secret occult society led to the Western fascination with mystical, forbidden knowledge
    • The real story behind the Salem witch trials and the European witch hunts
    • How 19th-century women used seances and ouija boards to advocate for their rights
    • The pagan practices that led to the modern-day Wicca movement
    • Why crystals and tarot cards have remained popular for thousands of years
    • Why witches are still feared and misunderstood today

    And much more!

    Whether you’re a history buff, modern-day magic practitioner, or just curious about the history of witchcraft, this book will give you a clearer picture of how magic has been practiced, understood, and misunderstood from ancient to modern times.

    Fun and easy to read, it’s a great introduction to the role witchcraft has played in cultures around the world, the real historical figures who helped shape present-day perspectives on witches, and the circumstances that have led to witches and the occult being shunned.

    Reading this book will help you:

    • Understand the role witchcraft played in ancient civilizations
    • Learn which elements of witchcraft and the occult are still around today
    • Dispel dangerous myths about witches and the occult
    • Improve your knowledge and take your study deeper
