At Home - Bill Bryson
In At Home, Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible curiosity, irresistible wit, stylish prose and masterful storytelling that made A Short History of Nearly Everything one of the most lauded books of the last decade, and delivers one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live. Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - eating, sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. And that most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we live.This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything and everything, from architecture to electricity, from food preservation to epidemics, from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower, from crinolines to toilets; and on the brilliant, creative and often eccentric minds behind them. And he discovered that, although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives, there is a huge amount of history, interest and excitement - and even a little danger - lurking in the corners of every home.

The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid - Bill Bryson
From one of our most beloved and bestselling authors, a vivid, nostalgic, and utterly hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s.Born in 1951 in the middle of the United States, Des Moines, Iowa, Bill Bryson is perfectly positioned to mine his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24 carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generation, Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case, he ran around the house wearing a jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel round his neck that served as his cape, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and vanquishing evildoers (in his head) as The Thunderbolt Kid.Using his childhood fantasy life as a springboard, Bill Bryson recreates the life of his family in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality. In a period that saw the inexorable rise of television, the opening of Disneyland, the testing of the atomic bomb, and the explosion of choice in everything from food to cars, Bill Bryson s days followed in reassuringly cosy succession, enlivened by modest triumphs and disasters.Warm and laugh-out-loud funny, The Rise and Fall of the Thunderbolt Kid is a modern classic, full of Bill Bryson s inimitable, pitch-perfect observations.

The Road to Little Dribbling - Bill Bryson
WINNER: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELLER READER AWARD FOR BEST TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016WINNER: BOOKS ARE MY BAG READER AWARD FOR BEST AUTOBIOGRAPHY OR BIOGRAPHY 2016Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his adopted country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, was taken to the nationâ ™s heart and became the bestselling travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that best represents Britain.Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey round Britain to see what has changed.Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesnâ ™t altogether recognize any more. Yet, despite Britainâ ™s occasional failings and more or less eternal bewilderments, Bill Bryson is still pleased to call our rainy island home. And not just because of the cream teas, a noble history, and an extra day off at Christmas.Once again, with his matchless homing instinct for the funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eye for the idiotic, the endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson gives us an acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.

Notes From A Big Country - Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth. This became all too apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world s best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth.Of course there were things Bryson missed about Blighty but any sense of loss was countered by the joy of rediscovering some of the forgotten treasures of his childhood: the glories of a New England autumn; the pleasingly comical sight of oneself in shorts; and motel rooms where you can generally count on being awakened in the night by a piercing shriek and the sound of a female voice pleading, Put the gun down, Vinnie, I ll do anything you say. Whether discussing the strange appeal of breakfast pizza or the jaw-slackening direness of American TV, Bill Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on that strangest of phenomena - the American way of life.

Dear Bill Bryson - Ben Aitken
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ACCLAIMED THE GRAN TOUR AND THE MARMALADE DIARIESAn irreverent homage to the 95 travel classic. It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken s politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title (possibly even its author) intended. Manchester ReviewIn 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island.Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken s homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.

A Walk In The Woods - Bill Bryson
Short of doing it yourself, the best way of escaping into nature is to read a book like A Walk in the Woods. New York TimesIn the company of his friend Stephen Katz (last seen in the bestselling Neither Here nor There), Bill Bryson set off to hike the Appalachian Trail, the longest continuous footpath in the world. Ahead lay almost 2,200 miles of remote mountain wilderness filled with bears, moose, bobcats, rattlesnakes, poisonous plants, disease-bearing tics, the occasional chuckling murderer and - perhaps most alarming of all - people whose favourite pastime is discussing the relative merits of the external-frame backpack. Facing savage weather, merciless insects, unreliable maps and a fickle companion whose profoundest wish was to go to a motel and watch The X-Files, Bryson gamely struggled through the wilderness to achieve a lifetime s ambition - not to die outdoors.A Walk in the Woods is now a major feature film starring Robert Redford, Emma Thompson and Nick Offerman.

Určite ste sa o nej všeličo dozvedeli na hodinách geografie, biológie, fyziky či chémie, no jej skutočný príbeh je oveľa fascinujúcejší. Audiokniha Stručná história takmer všetkého vás zoberie na jedinečné potulky. Zo žeravého jadra planéty sa vyšplháte až na Mount Everest, od veľkého tresku prejdete až po 21. storočie. Nazriete do vnútra atómu aj za oponu nekonečného vesmíru. Za všetky poznatky, ktoré v súčasnosti máme, vďačíme géniom, odvážlivcom a pracovitým vedcom minulosti, ktorí hľadaniu pravdy obetovali roky mravčej práce. Občas im však pomohla aj šťastná náhoda. Súčasťou príbehu Zeme ste aj vy, lebo všetko, čo sa tu zatiaľ odohralo, nepochybne viedlo k vašej existencii. Bill Bryson sa opisuje ako zdráhavý cestovateľ, ale záujem o okolitý svet neudrží na uzde ani vtedy, keď zostane v bezpečí domova. Audiokniha Stručná história takmer všetkého predstavuje jeho úsilie pochopiť všetko, čo sa udialo od veľkého tresku až do nástupu civilizácie – ako sme sa z fázy, keď sme neboli vôbec ničím, dostali do prítomnosti, keď sme ľuďmi. Zaumienil si, že preštuduje predmety, ktoré väčšinu ľudí zvyčajne na smrť nudia, napríklad geológiu, chémiu a fyziku, a že sa ich pokúsi podať tak, aby ich pochopil aj človek, ktorému dovtedy ani len nenapadlo, že by ho mohla zaujať veda.

Ľudské telo - Bill Bryson - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Celý život trávime v jednom tele, a predsa väčšina z nás v skutočnosti netuší, ako telo funguje a čo sa v ňom odohráva. História anatómie a medicíny je plná zabudnutých hrdinov, ohromujúcich príbehov a zaujímavých faktov. Mimochodom, od okamihu, ako ste začali čítať túto vetu, vo vašom tele vznikol asi milión červených krviniek. Audiokniha Ľudské telo je naozaj fascinujúca, komplexná a prístupná. Vydajte sa s autorom na cestu do hlbín ľudského tela a zistite, ako funguje, čo sa v ňom môže pokaziť a ako skvele sa dokáže uzdraviť. Uvedomíte si, že sme oveľa zložitejší a záhadnejší, než ste si mysleli. Audiokniha je napísaná z pohľadu erudovaného a inteligentného laika, ktorý venoval veľa času štúdiu rozličných zdrojov informácií a jednotlivé aspekty ľudského tela ho úprimne fascinovali. Téma bola preňho nová, vo svojej kariére sa totiž venoval najmä cestopisom a dejinám vedy. Dielo poteší najmä čitateľov, ktorí hľadajú zaujímavosti o ľudskom tele a o chorobách. Nenájdete v ňom systematický prehľad ľudského tela, chorôb, diagnostiky či liečby. Práve tento aspekt mu vyčítali niektorí kritici a čitatelia. Bill Bryson však evidentne postupoval podľa kľúča, ktorý si stanovil – informácie museli byť zaujímavé, neošúchané a k veci. Ďalším pútavým aspektom je autorov dôvtip, nadhľad, zmysel pre humor a pokora, s ktorou nepriamo upozorňuje, že o ľudskom tele a jeho fungovaní ešte vieme veľmi málo. Niet pochýb, že táto planéta patrí mikroorganizmom. Sme tu preto, lebo im neprekážame. Vôbec nás však nepotrebujú. Bez nich by sme navyše do dňa zomreli. Nechápte ma zle. Srdce je úžasný orgán a plne si zasluhuje našu chválu a vďaku, no s emočnou pohodou nijako nesúvisí. (Srdce) je vskutku pozoruhodný orgán. Ibaže mu vôbec nezáleží na vašom ľúbostnom živote. Väčšina najlepšej techniky, aká existuje na Zemi, sa skrýva priamo v našom vnútri a každý ju pokladá takmer za samozrejmú.

One Summer - Bill Bryson
In summer 1927, America had a booming stock market, a president who worked just four hours a day (and slept much of the rest), a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder trial, and an unknown aviator named Charles Lindbergh who became the most famous man on earth. It was the summer that saw the birth of talking pictures, the invention of television, the peak of Al Caponeâ ™s reign of terror, the horrifying bombing of a school in Michigan, the thrillingly improbable return to greatness of over-the-hill baseball player Babe Ruth, and an almost impossible amount more. In this hugely entertaining book, Bill Bryson spins a tale of brawling adventure, reckless optimism and delirious energy. With the trademark brio, wit and authority that make him Britainâ ™s favourite writer of narrative non-fiction, he brings to life a forgotten summer when America came of age, took centre stage, and changed the world.

Shakespeare - Bill Bryson
Bill Brysonâ ™s biography of William Shakespeare unravels the superstitions, academic discoveries and myths surrounding the life of our greatest poet and playwright.Ever since he took the theatre of Elizabethan London by storm over 400 years ago, Shakespeare has remained centre stage. His fame stems not only from his plays â “ performed everywhere from school halls to the world s most illustrious theatres â “ but also from his enigmatic persona. His face is familiar to all, yet in reality very little is known about the man behind the masterpieces.Shakespeareâ ™s life, despite the scrutiny of generations of biographers and scholars, is still a thicket of myths and traditions, some preposterous, some conflicting, arranged around the few scant facts known about the Bard â “ from his birth in Stratford to the bequest of his second best bed to his wife when he died.Taking us on a journey through the streets of Elizabethan and Jacobean England, Bryson examines centuries of stories, half-truths and downright lies surrounding our greatest dramatist. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, he introduces a host of engaging characters, as he celebrates the magic of Shakespeare s language and delights in details of the bard s life, folios, poetry and plays.

I will return to Austen s novels with a greater appreciation of the hardships and hopes of her heroines. âââââ I devoured this. Jane s story is told in vivid prose and a compassionate manner. âââââ ------------- Where better to celebrate the 250th birthday of one of Britain s most beloved novelists than the very rooms from which she quietly changed the world? In this bestselling biography, Lucy Worsley travels from room to room, house to house, showing us how and why Jane Austen lived as she did, examining the places and spaces that mattered to her. It wasn t all country houses and ballrooms, but a life that was often a painful struggle. Jane famously lived a life without incident , but with new research and insights Lucy Worsley reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who far from being a lonely spinster in fact had at least five marriage prospects, but who in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.Featuring a guided tour of all the best Jane Austen sites to visit specially written for this birthday edition, this gorgeous book is perfect for Austen fans everywhere.--------------Critical acclaim for Jane Austen at Home: This is my kind of history: carefully researched but so vivid that you are convinced Lucy Worsley was actually there at the party - or the parsonage. â • Antonia Fraser Jane Austen at Home offers a fascinating look at Jane Austen s world through the lens of the homes in which she lived and worked throughout her life. The result is a refreshingly unique perspective on Austen and her work and a beautifully nuanced exploration of gender, creativity, and domesticity. â • Amanda Foreman A must for any Austenite. â • Red magazine Brilliant and very moving, this book is a fascinating and original exploration of Jane Austen with lots of new material - Worsley brings Austen to life superbly, through her pages she is a flesh and blood woman, intelligent, powerful, contradictory, loving, loved.

At Home at Highclere - Lady Carnarvon
Join Lady Carnarvon and discover the fascinating life behind the scenes at the real Downton Abbey . A gorgeous book with beautiful photos, and a historical document to boot. - Steve WrightLady Carnarvon s love of history is richly rewarded at Highclere Castle with its mine of family records going back some 300 years. She has delved into the archives to create a book that invites you inside the Castle, past and present.Throughout the centuries, Highclere has welcomed Royalty, Statesmen, Egyptologists and pioneers of technology along with men and women from the worlds of music, art and letters. The etiquette of the invitation, the balance of guests at a weekend house party, their placement at dinners, and the entertainment of friends, as well as the domestic management required to execute the perfect occasion, have all preoccupied successive generations of châtelaines.This book tells the story four real life weekends - from 1866 to 1936 - when the great and the good gathered at Highclere to change the world in some large or small part. It then reflects on how the current Countess entertains At Home at Highclere today.Each weekend showcases the life of the house, both upstairs with the rich and famous and below stairs with the staff and employees. You are transported to a world where guests were collected from the long since defunct Highclere Station in carriages or later in the earliest cars having had the train stop specifically for them and where the allocation of the most prestigious bedrooms really did matter.It looks at what should be served for dinner, the hot topics of conversation and gossip, traditional breakfasts and shooting parties with the Prince of Wales. She explores how menus were, and still are now, put together with the chef, what were the de rigueur cocktails of the day (and why) - and how to make them at home wherever you are.Each chapter will explore some of the recipes and, where practical, have adaptations and photos of the recipes which can be cooked in today s kitchens. Many recipes are little-changed to this day and Lady Carnarvon shares her commentary on their context at Highclere. Highclere works hard to steer a steady course in today s world, but the Castle was built for entertainment and pleasure, for convivial weekends. I hope this book gives a glimpse inside a great house, with mouth-watering recipes, eye-catching photographs and fascinating stories about some of the remarkable people who have stayed here. - Lady Carnarvon

Feeling at Home - Alva Gotby
Our feelings about housing are political, and a grasp of them is essential to solving the housing crisis – from the author of They Call It LoveHousing is more than bricks and mortar. The home is where our hopes and dreams play out, and it lies at the heart of our lives. This is where we rest, eat, and relax. The home we enjoy can determine our health, life expectancy, and day-to-day well-being. In contrast, the lack of a stable residence can lead to mental and physical illness and often premature death. This is central to how we conceive of a good and dignified life.Feeling at Home grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing – domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby makes clear that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It is about revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.

The Sportsman at Home - Stephen Harris
In The Sportsman at Home, Stephen Harris welcomes us into his kitchen in Whitstable to discover his favourite ingredients, and show us how to apply the simple ethos of his iconic restaurant to home cooking. The Sportsman is nothing short of an institution. Now in its 25th year, Stephen Harris took over a rundown pub on the Kent coast in 1999 and turned something ordinary into something extraordinary with his pared-back style of cooking, earning (and retaining) a Michelin star, as well as being named the UK’s best restaurant multiple times. It’s a cult classic both adored by professionals from all over the world, and a truly beloved, unpretentious local. Organised into chapters by occasion – Baking and Making, Posh Dinners, Not So Posh Dinners and Christmas, to name a few – Stephen captures the imagination for simple cooking with his love of seasonal, local produce, and scholarly, much-lauded approach to putting flavour first in the easiest, most effective ways. With dishes such as Welsh rarebit, cream of tomato soup, pork chop with charred leeks and tart tatin with vanilla ice cream, Stephen reintroduces familiar favourites, made simpler, and much better. With stunning location photography of the Kent landscape that serves as Stephen’s inspiration, as well as essays on ingredients, life in the kitchen and his journey to ground-breaking techniques, The Sportsman at Home is a true celebration of simple food at its very best, from one of the most respected chefs in the UK.

Make Yourself at Home - Chelsey Brown
Pull your antiques and heirlooms out of the attic, the basement, or storage boxes and let them lift your spirit every day.Make Yourself at Home is a guide to decorating with antiques and family heirlooms, not as mere objects but as storytellers, as vessels that breathe life into our living spaces. In Chelsey Brown’s newest book, we learn how to revive the lost art of creating homes that resonate with the lives they shelter, not by imitating the latest trends, but by embracing the unique stories of the people who dwell within.Embrace the family treasures, antiques, and vintage pieces that possess an undeniable charm to enhance and create character within any contemporary design. Picture a vintage gramophone displaying proudly amidst sleek, contemporary furniture, or an intricately embroidered quilt adorning a minimalist bedroom. The fusion of old and new creates a drool-worthy juxtaposition, infusing spaces with character and charm that just makes you feel “at home.”Heirlooms and antiques are our time capsules into the past, and pieces that visually and emotionally stand the test of time. Whether it’s your grandmother s diary, the silver pocket watch, or that thrifted armoire that didn’t even get passed down within your own family, these items bear witness to the lives (and loves) that came before us.In her conversational, chatty style, Chelsey Brown advocates resisting the temptation to discard these sentimental pieces and instead embracing the emotional ties and historical narratives they represent. By valuing and preserving heirlooms and antiques, we not only ensure that their stories endure, but we create homes that tell a story of those who live inside. We’re designing unique spaces where you feel something and don’t just look like every other home you see on social media.

The grimly fascinating new book from the UK s leading criminologist David Wilson uncovers the dangers that exist where we least expect them - perfect for fans of The Dark Side of the Mind and The Mind of a Murderer.

By walking through each part of the house, he explains how each room s purpose has changed over time, the weapons they contain, and ultimately, how these things combine in murder.Delving into infamous as well as lesser-known true crime cases, this examination of the tragic, ordinary nature of murder is both a chilling read and a startling insight into the everyday impact of violence and how it can touch us all.
