A deeply personal exploration of fatherhood, addiction, and resiliency from CraigMelvin, news anchor of NBCs Today show.For Craig Melvin this book ismore an investigation than a memoir. It's an opportunity to better understandhis father; to interrogate his family's legacy of addiction and despair butalso transformation and redemption; and to explore the challenges facing alldads--including Craig himself, a father of two young children.Growing up in Columbia, SouthCarolina, Craig had a fraught relationship with hisfather. LawrenceMelvin was a distant, often absent parent due to his drinking as well as hisjob working thegraveyard shift at a postal facility. Watching sports andtinkering on Lawrence's beloved (but unreliable) 1973 Pontiac LeMans were twoways father and son connected,but as Lawrence's drinking spiraled out ofcontrol, their bond was stretched to the breaking point. Fortunately, Craig hada loving, fiercely protective mother who held the family together. He also hada series of surrogate father figures in his life--uncles, teachers, workplacementors--who by their examples helped him figure out the kind of person andfather hewanted to be.Pops is the story of allthese men--and of the inspiring fathers Craig has met reporting his "DadsGot This Series" on the Today show. Pops is also the storyof Craig and Lawrence Melvin's long journey to reconciliation andunderstanding, and of how all these experiences and encounters have informedCraig's understanding of his own role as a dad.

Jeffery Deaver''A terrifying tale of the true power in Hollywood... (Russell''s) precise, gorgeous prose shines'' New York Times''A masterpiece.

Absolutely stunning'' M W Craven FROM CWA DAGGER AND DOUBLE McILVANNEY AWARD WINNER CRAIG RUSSELL COMES ANOTHER DARK, GRIPPING MASTERPIECE . . . A dark, riveting thriller set in 1920s Hollywood about "the greatest horror movie ever made", the curse said to surround it, and a deadly search, decades later, for the single copy rumoured still to exist. 1927: Hollywood studio fixer Mary Rourke is called to the palatial home of "the most desirable woman in the world", silent movie actress Norma Carlton, star of The Devil''s Playground. When Rourke finds Carlton dead, she wonders if the dark rumours she''s heard are true: that The Devil''s Playground really is a cursed production. But nothing in Hollywood is ever what it seems, and cynical fixer Rourke, more used to covering up the truth for studio bosses, finds herself seeking it out. 1967: Paul Conway, film historian and fervid silent movie aficionado, is on the trail of a tantalizing rumour: that a single copy of The Devil''s Playground-a Holy Grail for film buffs that was supposedly cursed and lost to time-may exist. His search takes him deep into the Mojave Desert, to an isolated hotel that hasn''t changed in forty years but harbours only one occupant-and a shocking secret.

BUZZ MAGAZINE''Told with wit [and] verve... it''s a book that exerts a curious charm.'' MAIL ON SUNDAY''Burgess recounts Loki''s genius . . . with great gusto, pulling together many tales into one sometimes beautifully lyrical masterwork.'' SFX MAGAZINE''a mischievous, unpredictable and clever book that breathes new life into an already fascinating character and godly race.'' CULTUREFLYStep into the ancient fir-tree forests of Scandinavia and bear witness to legends as epic as those of the Greeks and the Romans.Melvin Burgess revolutionised children''s literature with the infamous cult novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he breathes new life into Norse myths.Starting with the Norse creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the reader on a wild ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods - the founders of Asgard - defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god of love and the Sun. This narrative may seem familiar enough at first, but the reader should beware. Born within the heart of a fire in the hollow of a tree-trunk, Loki arrives in Asgard as an outsider. He is a trickster, an unreliable narrator, the god of intelligence and politics. In spite of his cleverness and sparkling wit (or, perhaps, because of this...) Loki struggles to find his place among the old patriarchal gods of supernatural power and is constantly at odds with the god of thunder - Thor. Alongside the politics of Asgard, it charts the course of Loki''s many loves and families, from his mothering of Odin''s famous horse to his intense, turbulent, and, eventually, fatal relationship with Baldr the Beautiful - a tender and moving story of love that goes wrong, jealousy and a transitioning that is forbidden by society. This is a retelling that is contemporary in tone, at once amusing and relatable. It is a heartfelt plea to overthrow the old gods of power and authority and instigate a new era ruled by love and intelligence.

Mouse travels by a willow coppice, a riverside town with a lock, a river island, a reed bed, the estuary, and the river mouth before finishing up the journey on the shore of the open sea. Illustrated by Alice Melvin, who has spent hours drawing directly from nature to make the book, Mouse on the River is sure to win over readers with its charming characters and intensely detailed scenes. A nature spotter’s guide is also included at the back of the book.

''More than lives up to the hype'' Observer''Set to become a publishing sensation'' Kirsty Lang, BBC Front Row''An astounding achievement'' Sunday Times''The lost giant of American literature'' New YorkerJune, 1957. One afternoon, in the backwater town of Sutton, a young black farmer by the name of Tucker Caliban matter-of-factly throws salt on his field, shoots his horse and livestock, sets fire to his house and departs the southern state. And thereafter, the entire African-American population leave with him.The reaction that follows is told across a dozen chapters, each from the perspective of a different white townsperson. These are boys, girls, men and women; either liberal or conservative, bigoted or sympathetic - yet all of whom are grappling with this spontaneous, collective rejection of subordination.In 1962, aged just 24, William Melvin Kelley''s debut novel A Different Drummer earned him critical comparisons to James Baldwin and William Faulkner. Fifty-five years later, author and journalist Kathryn Schulz happened upon the novel serendipitously and was inspired to write the New Yorker article ''The Lost Giant of American Literature'', included as a foreword to this edition.

Edward Gordon Craig patří k velkým divadelním vizionářům 20. století. Mezinárodně významná výstava divadelního umění Theaterkunst-Ausstellung 1914 v curyšském Kunstgewerbemuseum představila Angličana Gordona Craiga - a spolu s ním Švýcara Adolpha Appiu - jako významného jevištního reformátora své doby. Craig podpořil svým působením v Curychu nejen reformu činoherního divadla, ale ovlivnil i vznik a vývoj marionetové scény Schweizerisches Marionettentheater (1918-1935).Kniha přibližuje slovem i mnoha ilustracemi Craigovu vizi odosobněného herce a nadloutky. Tato je vysvětlena na pozadí vývoje experimentálního divadla loutek a objektů v průběhu 20. století.Autorka objevila a identifikovala mimo jiné v Collection Craig v Bibliothèque Nationale v Paříži marionety z dílny školy Arena Goldoni, které byly 1914 v Curychu vystaveny. Také zdokumentovala divadelní vědě dosud neznámou Craigovu sbírku nacházející se ve vlastnictví Grafické sbírky v Museum für Gestaltung v Curychu. Tato sbírka je v knize představena veřejnosti.

''The most screamingly funny living writer'' Barry Humphries, Mail on SundayFrom the bestselling and award-winning author of Ma''am Darling and One Two Three Four, a selection of Craig Brown''s finest writing collected together for the first time.What is James Bond''s middle name?How does Jacob Rees-Mogg''s nanny set about cleaning him up in the morning?When did Piers Morgan introduce his special guest Kim Jong-Un as “the straight-talking boy from North Korea who grew up to become a global superstar”?All these important questions, and a great many more, are answered in Craig Brown''s Haywire.Featuring handy household tips from Mary Berry (‘When eating a boiled egg be careful to remove the shell first, or it can be a little crunchy’) and historic admissions from Queen Elizabeth 1st to Oprah Winfrey concerning her mother''s beheading (‘Thank you for having the courage to share that with us’), Haywire presents a survival guide to the 21st century.In one chapter, Brown writes about the influence of Blackpool on Sigmund Freud and Les Dawson. In another, he unearths the Historical Online Archive and discovers that the invention of the wheel in Mesopotamia in 4000 BC drew fierce criticism on social media. “My mate tried it, says it''s total rubbish” wrote Brian from Sumeria.The acclaimed biographer of Princess Margaret and The Beatles delivers essays on such diverse figures as Ronald Searle, John Stonehouse, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Dawkins, Katie Price, Stanley Spencer, Harry and Meghan, Brian Epstein, Kenneth Williams, Ronald Reagan, Simon Dee and the Marx Brothers.With the full battery of the humourist''s armoury – clerihews, tongue-twisters, whimsy, parody, farce, satire, social observation, nonsense – Brown skewers the passing fads and delusions of the contemporary world.‘Our greatest living satirist’ Sunday Times‘Exquisitely naughty and hilarious’ Guardian‘Craig Brown’s humour will outlive his victims … his journalism is one of the few compensations for being British now’ Sunday Telegraph

Argo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in elections goes unpunishedArgo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in our elections goes unpunished and what gets remembered when the political price for treason is victory. In April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter’s largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation—planned and executed by Reagan’s campaign manager Bill Casey—amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan’s victory.Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise—initially for Esquire and then Newsweek—and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington press corps, as a counter narrative took hold: The October Surprise was a hoax. Now Unger finally reveals the definitive story and sharing startling truths about what really happened in 1980. The result is a real-life political thriller filled with double agents, CIA operatives, slippery politicians, KGB documents, wealthy Republicans, and dogged journalists. Timely and provocative, with powerful echoes of Trump-era political scandals, Den of Spies demonstrates the stakes of allowing the politics of the moment to obscure the writing of our history.
