For years, Pamela s achievements were overshadowed by gossipy whispers about her past. Finally, she has a book that is worthy of her ELIZABETH DAY Exhilarating MAIL ON SUNDAY, BOOKS OF THE YEAR Anna Karenina meets West Wing IRISH EXAMINER, BOOKS OF THE YEARWhen Pamela Churchill Harriman died in 1997, the obituaries that followed were scathing - and often downright sexist. Written off as a social climber, her glamorous social life and infamous erotic adventures overshadowed her true legacy. Much of what she did behind the scenes to shape the twentieth century, on both sides of the Atlantic, remained invisible. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how Harriman left an indelible mark on the world today.There is practically no-one in twentieth-century politics, culture and fashion whose lives she did not touch. Her influence began at age twenty, when her father-in-law, Winston Churchill, engaged her as a secret weapon during World War II, wining, dining and seducing Americans over to the British cause against Hitler. It continued later in the US, where she hand-picked Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulted him to the presidency. It extended further, over five decades and two continents, influencing figures like the Kennedys, Nelson Mandela, Truman Capote, Gianni Agnelli, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem and Frank Sinatra.Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigour that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, power, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, Kingmaker sets out Harriman s rightful place at the heart of recent history.**** Rigorous but rollicking NEW YORK TIMES Everyone I know on both sides of the Atlantic seems to be devouring Kingmaker TINA BROWN An incredible story, beautifully told, of a remarkable woman whose political influence spanned Churchill to Clinton.

In this cozy bedtime story, follow a child and his grandma through a winter landscape to explore how the Earth goes to sleep for winter. Spot the sleeping animals as the tale unfolds, then learn about their hibernation habits from the information pages at the end. Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss (ecologist, journalist, and educator) offer a gentle introduction to the concept of hibernation. In the frosty, quiet forest, the snow blankets the ground and the trees have shed their leaves. Where have all the animals gone? Are they asleep too? In each cutaway scene, see what the child cannot – that underground below his feet are dens with sleeping creatures, and within the hollow trunks of trees, animals are nesting. After the story, annotated illustrations explain the hibernation facts for each animal and what they will do when they wake up for spring. Cozy up as you expand your and your child’s knowledge of the natural world.

A pilgrim path that offers a wonderful long-distance route, on footpaths and quiet lanes, across the glorious east of England.London to Walsingham Camino guidebook is a full colour guide to walking the re-established pilgrimage route from the Church of St Magnus the Martyr, with its shrine to Our Lady of Walsingham to the Anglican and Catholic shrines at Walsingham in Norfolk. The experience of walking the route is described in this illustrated book with the step by step walking directions and gpx files being downloaded from the Trailblazer website.The whole 177.8 mile pilgrimage could be accomplished by a fit walker in a fortnight or less. But maybe you want to walk for fewer miles each day, or just at weekends, or on odd days when you have the time and energy. This guide caters for multiple approaches.Walsingham was England⠙s Nazareth. A fantastical tale brought pilgrims ⠓ kings, queens, and commoners alike ⠓ to Walsingham in the Middle Ages. In 1061 a Walsingham noblewoman, Lady Richeldis de Faverches, had a vision in which the Virgin Mary transported her soul to Nazareth and showed her the house where the Holy Family once lived, and in which the Annunciation of Archangel Gabriel, foretelling Jesus⠙s birth, occurred. She was told to build a replica of the house in Walsingham, and did so. The Holy House, initially a simple wooden structure, later richly decorated with gold and precious jewels, became a shrine and attracted pilgrims to Walsingham from all over Europe. Numerous kings travelled as pilgrims to Walsingham.Walsingham was by far the most important pilgrim shrine in England until Henry VIII outlawed pilgrimage and the veneration of saints in 1538. It was much more popular than Canterbury. Not only that: in the whole of the Christian world it was eclipsed by just three other places: Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela. Those places have enjoyed an unbroken tradition of pilgrimage and veneration stretching back a millennium or more. Not Walsingham. It reverted to being just a village in Norfolk once the pilgrims stopped coming. The road from London ceased to be the most important route in England, and faded into obscurity.For 400 years, no pilgrims walked to Walsingham. Since the 1930s, when both Catholic and Anglican shrines were re-established here, Walsingham has undergone a revival. It draws around 300,000 pilgrims each year, but hardly any of them walk much more than the final Holy Mile, and only a few church and other groups trace the full route from London.The London to Walsingham Camino guidebook is part of an attempt to change that: to re-establish a walking route which, while being as true to the original way as possible, takes account of the modern realities on the ground. A pilgrim path that offers a wonderful long-distance route, on footpaths and quiet lanes, across the glorious east of England. A truly pleasurable and uplifting walking experience.

1289. A rich farmer fears he ll go to hell for cheating his neighbours. His wife wants pilgrim badges to sew into her hat and show off at church. A poor, ragged villager is convinced his beloved cat is suffering in the fires of purgatory and must be rescued. A mother believes her son s dangerous illness is punishment for her own adultery and seeks forgiveness so he may be cured. A landlord is in trouble with the church after he punched an abbot on the nose. A sexually driven noblewoman seeks a divorce so she can marry her new young beau. These are among a ragtag band of pilgrims that sets off on the tough and dangerous journey from England to Rome, where they hope all their troubles and their prayers will be answered. Some in the group, however, have their own secret reasons for going. Others, while they might aspire to piety, succumb all too often to the sins of the flesh. A riveting, sweeping novel of medieval society and historic Englishness, Pilgrims illuminates the fallibility of humans, the absurdities and consolations of belief, and the very real violence at the heart of religious fervour.

Historický thriller z viktoriánské Anglie volně navazuje na úspěšný titul Mučedník.John Shakespeare opustil svět výzvědných služeb a žije se svou rodinou poklidným životem ředitele londýnské chlapecké školy. Jednoho dne je však ze své spokojené, i když poněkud nudné existence vytržen nezvyklou žádostí od samotného hraběte z Essexu, královnina oblíbence a jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů říše. Je pověřen pátráním po údajně živé navrátilkyni ze záhadně ztracené zámořské kolonie Roanoke, jejíž obyvatelé před lety beze stopy zmizeli. Když ho vzápětí další z mocných mužů království, člen korunní rady Cecil, požádá, aby nabídku na oko přijal a využil ji ke sledování Essexe, zjišťuje Shakespeare, že se ocitl v pasti podivných her, intrik a úkladů, v nichž jde o samotný trůn Anglie a z nichž není úniku. Jeho protivníci jsou nemilosrdní a neváhají ke svým cílům užít takových prostředků, jako je kruté mučení či chladnokrevné vraždy. Tentokrát se navíc ve smrtelném nebezpečí ocitá nejen Shakespeare sám, ale i jeho nejbližší, včetně bratra Williama. Začíná tak boj o záchranu Anglie i vlastního života. Jakékoli selhání je nepřípustné a času se nedostává. Podaří se Shakespearovi odvrátit všechna nebezpečí a ochránit členy své rodiny? A kdo je onen tajemný Ir, který podle všeho tahá za nitky v pozadí a jehož se všichni tolik bojí? A stojí za smrtí dvou mladých lidí, jejichž těla Shakespearovi ukáže ohledávač mrtvol Peace? Druhý příběh Johna Shakespeare nás znovu zavede do alžbětinského Londýna a Anglie, v níž však moc královny Alžběty postupně slábne a upadá a panovnice se stává čím dál zranitelnější. Onoho léta roku 1592 je navíc Londýn stižen morovou nákazou. Nejsou to pro Anglii nejlepší časy. Jak je prožívají v nejvyšších šlechtických kruzích, krčmách, vězeních či mezi londýnskými astrology? To a mnohem více se čtenář dozví ve druhém, výtečně napsaném historickém thrilleru Roryho Clementse Mstitel.

The gripping story of Taiwan, from the flood myths of ancient legend to its â ˜Asian Tigerâ ™ economic miracle â ” and the looming threat of invasion by China. Once dismissed by the Kangxi Emperor as nothing but a â ˜ball of mudâ ™, Taiwan has a modern GDP larger than that of Sweden, in a land area smaller than Indiana. It is the last surviving enclave of the Republic of China, a lost colony of Japan, and claimed by Beijing as a rogue province â ” merely the latest chapters in its long history as a refuge for pirates, rebels, settlers, and outcasts. In Rebel Island, Jonathan Clements offers a concise and vivid telling of Taiwanâ ™s complex island story, beginning with the unique conditions of its archaeology before examining its indigenous history and its days as a Dutch and Spanish trading post. He delves into its periods as an independent kingdom, Chinese province, and short-lived republic, and the transformations wrought by 50 years as part of the Japanese Empire. In 1949, the island became a lifeboat for two million refugees from the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the White Terror began. Later chapters explain the recent conflicts that have emerged after the suspension of four decades of martial law, as the Taiwanese debate issues of self-determination, independence, and home rule â ” all under the watchful gaze of President Xi Jinping, and politicians around the world. Rebel Island is an essential guide to Taiwanâ ™s past and present, providing invaluable context at a time of escalating tension over its future.

â ˜Terrifying and timely, this is a book everyone should read and heedâ ™ - George Monbiot Urgent, gripping and sobering, Six Minutes to Winter is a hair-raising wake-up callâ ™ - David Wallace-Wellsâ ˜Powerful and insightful. Although many have forgotten about nuclear weapons, we shouldn tâ ™- Charles Oppenheimer The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity s immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours. A major missile exchange would mean months of near-total darkness, followed by a decade-long global nuclear winter that would destroy most life on Earth. Virtually everyone would starve in the resulting worldwide famine, and there would be no reliable refuge.We are sleepwalking to Armageddon. There are no mass marches, no COPs, no nuclear Greta. But the climate experience teaches us that ignoring a problem is no solution, and that a worldwide mobilisation can work. Six Minutes to Winter presents an unflinching view of the nuclear nightmare, but also describes how weapons can be taken off hair-trigger alert and ultimately abolished altogether. If human civilisation is to survive long term, we have no alternative.

One man’s “curiously thrilling joyride” of travelogue, history, and climatology, across a planet on the brink of cataclysmic transformation (Donovan Hohn).As the planet warms, winter is shrinking. In the last fifty years, the Northern Hemisphere lost a million square miles of spring snowpack and in the US alone, snow cover has been reduced by 15-30%. On average, winter has shrunk by a month in most northern latitudes.In this deeply researched, beautifully written, and adventure-filled book, journalist Porter Fox travels along the edge of the Northern Hemisphere #39;s snow line to track the scope of this drastic change, and how it will literally change everything—from rapid sea level rise, to fresh water scarcity for two billion people, to massive greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost, and a half dozen climate tipping points that could very well spell the end of our world.This original research is animated by four harrowing and illuminating journeys—each grounded by interviews with idiosyncratic, charismatic experts in their respective fields and Fox #39;s own narrative of growing up on a remote island in Northern Maine.Timely, atmospheric, and expertly investigated, The Last Winter will showcase a shocking and unexpected casualty of climate change—that may well set off its own unstoppable warming cycle.
