Tchaikovsky - Prof. David Brown
This volume uniquely combines a lively biography of one of the best-loved composers of the nineteenth century with a detailed chronological guide to much of his oeuvre, from the most popular - Swan Lake or the 1812 Overture - to the lesser known pieces. David Brown enthusiastically and sensitively guides the reader through Tchaikovsky s music in the context of his life. His writing on the music is accessible and informative, both for the professional musician and the keen amateur listener. The biographical writing includes fascinating quotations from the composer s letters, and those of his friends; the Tchaikovsky that emerges is, despite his periodic struggle with depression, a man with a positive attitude to life, and a kind and supportive friend to many around him. This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Tchaikovsky, his music, or the culture of the time. One of the finest one-volume biographies to have appeared in recent years, written with such insight that it feels as though one is on a hot-line to the composer himself . . . by the end I felt I knew Tchaikovsky so much better. A classic. Classic FM Magazine I can t imagine a more intelligently sympathetic treatment of the man and his music. BBC Music Magazine

A Pub For All Seasons - Adrian Tierney-Jones
A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST DRINK BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2024 The book follows the seasons, and does a smart job of being elegiac and a little magical without trying to deny modernity Financial Times A poetic meditation on the public house ... an appreciation of what makes a pub great Spectator, Drinks Books of the Year A splendid book, ruminative, delightful and as full of good cheer as the best pub. Mail on Sunday A genial ramble of a book ... a paean to the pub and its crucial role in community life. Country LifeEver since he was old enough to enjoy them, award-winning journalist and beer-expert Adrian Tierney-Jones has been visiting and drinking in pubs all over the country.As the world opened up post-Covid and we were all finally able to return to our locals, Adrian s love for this British institution burned even brighter and he promised himself he would travel around the UK in search of the best pub he could find.The story of one man through the year and his travels to all corners of the country, A Pub For All Seasons follows Adrian as he visits far-flung corners of the country. From mellow, gentle pubs in autumn and dim, cosy spots in winter to bright, lively bars in spring and wondrous, buzzing gardens in summer, Adrian speaks to locals and landlords, hears unique sounds and stories, and samples food, drink and atmosphere. He watches the wild and beautiful similarities, differences between pubs, and notices how they all shift, tonally, throughout the year.And what started as a simple quest to find a nice place to sit and drink, ends up revealing to Adrian so much more: the secret to what truly makes the perfect British local across the four seasons. A hymn to the unique charms of the British pub ... Elegiac, moving and as satisfying as a cool pint of Harvey s Best on a hot Summer s day. Henry Jeffreys Adrian Tierney-Jones doesn t just visit pubs - he inhabits them and gives them a voice, allowing them to tell us how they act as the cornerstones of culture and community.

How to Build a Car - Adrian Newey
The world s foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain s greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir.How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian s unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he s been involved.A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian s thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form – he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays. From his early career in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining detail how a car actually works. Adrian has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Senna s death during his time at Williams in 1994.Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrian s remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling – its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style, efficiency and speed.

It all boils down to the fact that I have no sex life. At least not with another person. Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, Adrian Mole finds himself in the unenviable situation of living with the love-of-his-life as she goes about shacking up with other men. Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, is not quite as he might have hoped. But Adrian is about to discover that extraordinary and wonderful things may blossom even in the wilderness . . .__________ A very, very funny book Sunday Times The funniest person in the world Caitlin Moran

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 - Sue Townsend
A satire of our times. Very funny indeed Sunday Times My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and me ADAM KAYFEATURED IN THE 100 BOOKS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD BBC ARTS The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 is the first book in Sue Townsend s brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. Friday January 2ndI felt rotten today. It s my mother s fault for singing My Way at two o clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children s home.Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and misunderstood intellectual , Adrian s painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared._________NOW A MAJOR MUSICAL I not only wept, I howled and hooted and had to get up and walk around the room and wipe my eyes so that I could go on reading Tom Sharpe We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful Heat
