The Italian Renaissance shaped Western culture - but it was far stranger and darker than many of us realise.''Brilliant and gripping, here is the full true Renaissance in a history of compelling originality and freshness'' Simon Sebag MontefioreWe know the Mona Lisa for her smile, but not that she was married to a slave-trader. We revere Leonardo da Vinci for his art, but few now appreciate his ingenious designs for weaponry. We visit Florence to see Michelangelo''s David, but hear nothing of the massacre that forced the republic''s surrender. In fact, many of the Renaissance''s most celebrated artists and thinkers emerged not during the celebrated ''rebirth'' of the fifteenth century but amidst the death and destruction of the sixteenth century.The Beauty and the Terror is an enrapturing narrative which includes the forgotten women writers, Jewish merchants, mercenaries, prostitutes, farmers and citizens who lived the Renaissance every day. Brimming with life, it takes us closer than ever before to the reality of this astonishing era, and its meaning for today.''Terrifying and fascinating'' Sunday Times''Enlightening...exactly the alternative history you might wish for'' Daily Telegraph

The extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir from one of football''s greatest playersPaul McGrath is Ireland''s best loved sportsman and also its least understood. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years, he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 1990 and 1994. But, behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa, McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous.That story has until now never been told. It is a story that runs from a hard, hidden childhood spent in Dublin''s orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football.

Fear and Loathing at Goodison Park chronicles the David Moyes era at Everton, when a fallen giant of the English game fought to re-establish itself among football''s elite. With relegation dogfights making way for Champions League qualification and the first cup final since 1995, David Moyes'' tenure was underpinned by stability and a hopefulness that success would soon return to the blue half of Merseyside. It was, however, a period when the notion of success was redefined, not only for Everton but within the game as a whole. With the financial gulf widening in a league deluged by an influx of foreign investment and media conglomerates, Moyes'' Everton became synonymous with operating on a shoe-string budget, in an era of multi-million -pound transfers and bloated wages. With billionaire takeovers reshaping the landscape of English football forever, the people''s club''s hopes of breaking through football''s glass ceiling faded, leaving only fear and loathing at Goodison Park.
