WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDGavin Francis spent fourteen months in one of the remotest places in the world: Halley, a research station in Antarctica. Storm-locked and frozen, it is said to be easier to evacuate a casualty from the International Space Station than it is to bring someone out of Halley in winter.In the icy emptiness of Antarctica, where one misstep outdoors can mean death but the confined corridors of Halley can drive you mad, Gavin challenges himself to thrive at the ends of the earth. In the penguin colonies, a species utterly adapted to the harsh environment, he finds community, inspiration and joy.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: an uplifting account of hope and healing by GP Gavin Francis''I cannot think of anybody - patient or doctor - who will not be helped by reading this short and profound book'' - Henry Marsh''Such a wise, gentle, quietly hopeful book. Exactly what I needed'' - Rachel Clarke''A lovely little book'' - Michael RosenWhen it comes to illness, sometimes the end is just the beginning. Recovery and convalescence are words that exist at the periphery of our lives - until we are forced to contend with what they really mean. Here, GP and writer Gavin Francis explores how - and why - we get better, revealing the many shapes recovery takes, its shifting history and the frequent failure of our modern lives to make adequate space for it. Characterised by Francis''s beautiful prose and his view of medicine as ''the alliance of science and kindness'', Recovery is a book about a journey that most of us never intend to make. Along the way, he unfolds a story of hope, transformation, and the everyday miracle of healing.

Britain''s health service is dying. Gavin Francis shows us why we should fight for it. Since its birth in 1948, the powers that be have chipped away at the NHS. Now, Britain''s best-loved institution is under greater threat than ever, besieged by a deadly combination of underfunding, understaffing and the predatory private sector. In the wake of the pandemic, we have come to accept a ''new normal'' of permanent crisis and years-long waiting lists. But, as Gavin Francis reveals in this short, vital book- it doesn''t have to be this way, and until recently, it wasn''t. Drawing on the history of the NHS as well as his own experience as a GP, he introduces us to the inner workings of an institution that has never been perfect but which transformed the lives and health of millions, for free - and which has never been more important. For those who believe in the future of the NHS and its founding principles, this is essential reading from the bestselling author of Recovery and Intensive Care.

SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEARIn Island Dreams, Gavin Francis combines stories of his own travels with psychology, philosophy and myth, shedding new light on the importance of islands and isolation in our collective consciousness. Francis draws on thirty years of island adventures from the Faroe Islands to the Aegean, from the Galapagos to the Andaman Islands. He contrasts these quests for freedom with the demands for commitment required as a doctor, community member and parent. Island Dreams riffs on the twin poles of rest and motion, independence and attachment, never more relevant than in today''s ever-connected world.

In a world increasingly preoccupied by borders, bridges celebrate the possibility of connection, allowing the flow of goods, people and ideas. Bridges are among our grandest physical structures with the power of transforming lives and economies, but we also stand (or fall) upon the simple arch of bones in our feet. Text is a bridge between writer and reader, and conversation builds bridges of understanding between minds. Dr Gavin Francis has spent his life fascinated by the power of bridges to improve human connection. In The Bridge Between Worlds he examines bridges both actual and metaphorical, on a journey through more than twenty countries, across four decades of travel. From Rome''s Ponte Sant''Angelo to Brooklyn, Victoria Falls to London, Singapore to Siberia, this thought-provoking book reflects on connections between nations and between individuals. Francis demonstrates what the building of bridges has meant to our civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.

Unreliable bodies and shifting symptoms are all in a day's work for a GP. In his years of practising, Gavin Francis has seen it all: the promising law student trapped under the spell of anorexia; the bodybuilder whose use of illegal steroids threatens his fertility; the teenager agonising over the perplexing physical dramas of puberty; and the surprisingly upbeat woman growing a horn in the centre of her forehead. In Shapeshifters he draws on his patients' bodily transformations, both welcome and unwelcome, bringing together case histories and accounts from the history of medicine, art, literature, myth and magic to show how the very essence of being human is change.

A lost civilization in Antarctica. A map that shouldn’t exist. And a truth the world isn’t ready for.  In November 2002, an elite U.S. Navy SEAL team is sent to Antarctica to rescue a missing film crew. They return empty-handed—except for one thing: mysterious footage of strange artifacts buried deep beneath the ice. Everyone who views the film receives a chilling warning: speak of what you've seen and face the consequences. More than a decade later, Professor Charles Summers stumbles upon an impossible discovery—a 16th-century map depicting Antarctica’s coastline with astonishing accuracy. Even NASA scientists are forced to update their own modern surveys.  But how could such a map exist three centuries before Antarctica was officially discovered? Who created these maps? How did they see Antarctica before it was buried in ice? Could an ancient civilization have once thrived there? But science says Antarctica has been frozen for millions of years…Determined to uncover the truth, Summers and the Rossler Foundation launch an expedition deep into the icy wilderness. But they’re not the only ones searching. The ruthless Orion Society will stop at nothing to ensure the past stays buried. As the race for history’s greatest secret turns deadly, will Summers and his team rewrite history—or will the truth be lost forever beneath the ice?Ninth Cycle Antarctica is the second thrilling installment in JC Ryan’s acclaimed Rossler Foundation Mystery series, blending historical mystery, international conspiracy and pulse-pounding action. ________________________________________________________Praise for the Rossler Foundation Mystery series:  ? ? ? ? ?

To people who haven’t been there, Antarctica seems remote, extreme and perhaps even forbidding. Yet everybody who has visited comes back full of enthusiasm, with amazing memories and stunning photos. The author inspires interest in this amazing place while encouraging responsible, informed and sustainable tourism.She helps you to decide where and when to go, whether to include South Georgia and/or the Falklands, how to read between the lines of an itinerary, which operator to book with and what size of ship will suit you best. She provides practical information about weather, clothing and photography, and gives links to useful websites and further reading. She covers various specialist options from sea kayaking to camping on the ice.The wildlife section is lavishly illustrated with photos of creatures ranging from tiny krill through seabirds and penguins to seals, dolphins and whales with their amazing adaptations. Understanding their breeding cycles helps you to anticipate what you will see at different times of year. Specially commissioned mapping lets you understand the trade-offs between different itineraries. Graphics and over 100 colour photos support the concise text which is informed by the author’s personal experiences.Antarctica’s ice cap stores 90% of the world’s freshwater ice, and it is a crucial place for climate monitoring and other scientific research. The author explains the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, and the Madrid and Montreal Protocols, and their implications both for the continent and for visitors on cruise ships. She interprets the formation of icebergs and glaciers, how the climate varies over different parts of Antarctica and how Antarctic ice affects sea levels.The guide covers the history of Antarctica’s discovery and exploration, not only the Scott/Amundsen famous race to the South Pole and Shackleton’s extraordinary rescue, but also the less-known achievements of Douglas Mawson. The story is updated with the Jarvis recreations of Mawson’s and Shackleton’s famous journeys, and the discovery of the Endurance shipwreck, 107 years after the ship was crushed and sank.Use this book to plan your adventure of a lifetime, but be warned: many who visit Antarctica end up trying to return.

"Skins by Gavin Watson has been argued as being ''the single most important record'' of 1970s skinhead culture in Britain, who have possibly been one of the most reviled yet misunderstood of the nation''s youth subcultures." — Daily Mail"Gavin Watson documented his friends as they came of age at the heart of a misunderstood community." — i-D"Gavin Watson’s cult documentary photo book Skins chronicles the radical and inclusive spirit which originally animated the emerging skinhead culture of 70s Britain." — DazedSkins by Gavin Watson is arguably the single most important record of ''70s skinhead culture in Britain. Rightly celebrated as a true classic of photobook publishing, the book is now reissued in a high-quality new edition under close supervision from the photographer.The scores of black and white shots offer a fascinating glimpse into a skinhead community that was multi-cultural, tightly knit and, above all else, fiercely proud of its look. These are classic photographs of historical value.“What makes Gavin’s photos so special is that when you look at them, there’s clearly trust from the subject towards the photographer, so it feels like you’re in the photo rather than just observing.” - Shane Meadows (Director of award-winning film This Is England).The book, described by The Times as “a modern classic”, forms an important visual record of its time and has attained cult status in the genre, alongside works by other eminent photographers such as Derek Ridgers and Nick Knight.“Arguably one of the best and most important books about youth fashion and culture ever published.” – Vice Magazine

In this thorough text, Hindu Studies scholar Gavin Flood provides an introduction to tantra: what it is, where it fits into the history of South Asia and beyond, what its links are to Hinduism and Buddhism, and how contemporary tantra transforms the older tradition.The most misrepresented of all Hindu traditions, Tantra is a complex interweaving of teachings and practices that pervades Vai?nava, Saiva, Sakta, and Smarta traditions. Its roots can be traced back to Vedic times and its influence has spread to Jainism, Buddhism, and beyond. In Tantric Knowledge, Gavin Flood demystifies tantra, illustrating how it is more than just esoteric teachings, but is in fact the very fabric of the Hindu worldview. While sex and secret ritual are an element of some practices, tantra encompasses much more than that. Tantric ideas have shaped core Hindu practices such as temple building, worship, mantra, yoga, ayurveda, meditation, and guru-disciple relationships. It is a part of everyday life. Tantric Knowledge also highlights how tantric traditions claim to possess knowledge about the nature of the universe, the nature of ourselves as human beings, and how we fit into the wider cosmos around us. Tantric knowledge is what the texts and traditions profess. The study of these traditions raises interesting questions of both historical and existential importance.

In George Michael: A Life,“Gavin’s engrossing biography of the singer takes the measure of a gifted, tragic, and infuriating man” (New York Times Book Review). George Michael was an extravagantly gifted, openhearted soul singer whose work was both pained and smolderingly erotic. He was a songwriter of true craft and substance, and his music swept the world, starting in the mid-1980s. His fabricated image—that of a hypermacho sex god—loomed large in the pop culture of his day. It also hid—for a time—the secret he fought against revealing: Michael was gay. Soon his obsession with fame would start to backfire. As one of the industry’s most privileged yet tortured men began to self-destruct, the press showed little sympathy. George Michael: A Life explores the compelling story of a superstar whose struggles, as well as his songs, continue to touch fans all over the world. Acclaimed music biographer James Gavin traces Michael’s metamorphosis from the shy and awkward Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou into the swaggering, dominant half of the leading British pop duo of the 1980s Wham! He then details Michael’s sensational solo career and its subsequent unraveling. With deep analysis of the creative process behind Michael’s albums, tours, and music videos, as well as interviews with hundreds of his friends and colleagues, George Michael: A Life is a probing, definitive portrait of a pop legend.

'Heartfelt, honest and hugely comforting. Gavin writes beautifully, weaving calm (and most importantly, joy), through the chaos of modern living. A wise and perspective-shifting guide to making the most of your beautiful life.' Donna Ashworth - Sunday Times bestselling author of Wild Hope and To The Women Not another self-help book promising “five steps to happiness.” This is a wake-up call, a rallying cry, and a much-needed hug all in one. Brace yourself for the book that flips self-help on its head and gives personal growth a much-needed shake-up. Renowned speaker and bestselling author, Gavin Oattes' latest release, Confidently Lost, is not your typical guide to happiness. Instead, it's an unfiltered, deeply human exploration of what it means to fall apart and rebuild yourself - messy, unpredictable, and gloriously real. Born out of chaos and a "lifequake" moment that shattered his world in 2023, Confidently Lost offers a refreshingly honest take on navigating the aftermath of profound disruption. From unpacking the weight of grief to rediscovering joy in the smallest glimmers, Oattes delivers life lessons with humour, warmth, and the kind of raw vulnerability that feels like a friend grabbing you by the shoulders and saying, “You've got this.” But Confidently Lost isn't just about survival, it's about thriving. Oattes draws readers into powerful reflections, challenging them to ditch perfection, embrace their inner anti-hero, and reclaim the magic of everyday moments. This isn't a book about having all the answers, it's about the courage to admit you're figuring it out as you go, and realising that's more than enough. A Book for Anyone Who's Ever Felt Stuck Using vivid storytelling and laugh-out-loud humour, Confidently Lost tackles universal themes: Letting go of the invisible rucksack of emotional baggage. Smashing the myth of “having it all figured out” and embracing life's chaos. Discovering the beauty in daydreams and the power of stillness. Breaking free from societal expectations (and the tyranny of the Joneses). Reclaiming joy, curiosity, and even the childlike wiggle that comes from pure excitement. Whether you're on the verge of a breakdown, in the middle of a breakthrough, or just figuring out what the hell to do next, Confidently Lost is here to remind you: you're not alone, and you're exactly where you need to be.

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024A Country Life ''Architecture Book to Read in 2025''''Elegant, erudite and entertaining ... a superbly detailed picture of an architectural era'' The Times''A magnificent monument in itself to a fine architectural writer'' Simon Heffer, TelegraphBritish architecture between the wars is most famous for the rise of modernism - the flat roofs, clean lines and concrete of the Isokon flats in Hampstead and the Penguin Pool at London Zoo - but the reality was far more diverse. As the modernists came of age and the traditionalists began to decline, there arose a rich variety of styles and tastes in Britain and across the empire, a variety that reflected the restless zeitgeist of the years before the Second World War.At the time of his death in 2017, Gavin Stamp, one of Britain''s leading architectural critics, was at work on a deeply considered account of British architecture in the interwar period, correcting what he saw as the skewed view of earlier historians who were unable to see past modernism. Beginning with a survey of the modern movement after the armistice, Interwar untangles the threads that link lesser-known movements like the Egyptian revival with the enduring popularity of the Tudorbethan, to chronicle one of Britain''s most dynamic architectural periods. The result is more than an architectural history - it is the portrait of a changing nation.As an account of the period that still shapes much of Britain''s towns and cities, Gavin Stamp''s final work is the definitive history of British architecture between the Great War and the Blitz.

The Byzantine Empire originated in AD 395 from the definitive subdivision of the Roman Empire into two distinct political entities: the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire. While the Western Empire disappeared in 476, due to Germanic invasions, the Eastern Empire endured for centuries. During Justinian’s reign (527-565) a good portion of the western territories were reconquered for a time and the Empire retained a distinctive ‘Roman’ nature at least until the reign of Heraclius (610-641). But during his reign, the Eastern Empire came under attack from the expanding Muslim Arabs, losing a much of its original Eastern territories. With Imperial power weakened and restricted largely to the Balkans and Anatolia, the ‘Roman’ nature of the Eastern Empire became progressively more Greek and transformed into what we know as ‘the Byzantine Empire’ (though they called themselves Romans to the end). Despite being surrounded by enemies, the Byzantines defended their remaining domains for a further half a millenium, their territories expanding and contracting with fluctuating fortunes. This tenacious survival was largely due to the ability of their military to adapt (as Roman armies always had) to emerging threats from a wide variety of enemies. The Byzantine Empire collapsed only in 1204, when attacked by forces of the Fourth Crusade, its ostensible allies. In addition to presenting an overview and analysis of the various campaigns of the period, Gabriele Esposito provides a complete review of Byzantine military organization, weapons, tactics and equipment. The clear text is lavishly illustrated with dozen of colour photographs of replica arms, armour and costume in use.
