Settling His Hash - J.A. Johnstone, William W. Johnstone
Legendary national bestselling Western authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone return with a new installment in the rip-roaring, gun-blazing Chuckwagon Trail series featuring Dewey “Mac” Mackenzie. A chuckwagon cook who’s also deadly with a pair of six-shooters, he’s a man who has no qualms filling men’s bellies with food—or lead. Finally cleared of a crime he didn’t commit, he’s able to enjoy the fruits of his labor on the trail without looking over his shoulder. But even his best served grub can be spoiled by those with evil appetites…After traversing California from one end to the other, and finding nothing much to his liking, Mac Mackenzie is heeding his heart’s call to return to Texas. Lucky for him, a group of cowboys heading for the Lone Star state need someone who knows their way around a chuckwagon. Their previous cook’s temper boiled over during a saloon brawl and ended up in jail. With no love for the cook—or his food—the cowboys just want to head home peaceably, share some quality meals with good company, and give their boss the small fortune they’re carrying from the herd they sold. Otis Bradley knows he’s no gourmet, but that’s no excuse for his fellow cattlemen to leave him rotting behind bars. He still earned his share of the payroll for this time on the trail—and after befriending outlaw Stack Ketchum, Otis has a gang of gunfighters ready to dish out some revenge in exchange for the loot. But Otis and Ketchum’s badmen haven’t reckoned with the likes of Mac, a man who will settle their hash—raw and bloody . . . JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE MEN STAKE THEIR CLAIMS.

A giant grizzly on a killer rampage terrorizes a small ranch community—and lures legendary mountain man Smoke Jensen into the deadliest trap of all: the human kind . . . .JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. HUNT OR BE HUNTED.The bear seems harmless—at first. Just a lost and confused grizzly poking around Big Rock. Then the killings begin. A horse wrangler is mangled. A rancher mauled. Then a bartender in the heart of town is found clawed to a bloody pulp. Now every man in Big Rock is taking up arms to hunt down the beast before it strikes again—which worries the local sheriff. He’s afraid this amateur hunting party could turn into a mass funeral real fast. So he asks Smoke Jensen to help keep everyone calm and contain the panic. Unfortunately, it’s too late. The panic is out of control. And the hunt is on. . . .While the gun-toting locals head for the hills in search of the bear, a ruthless gang of bank robbers ride into the half-empty town—armed to the teeth. Then a professional wild game hunter shows up offering to kill the grizzly—for a price. If that wasn’t enough, a traveling medicine man claims the bear is part of his act—and wouldn’t hurt a soul. Smoke Jensen isn’t sure what to believe or who to trust. But one thing is certain: Where there are jaws, claws, and outlaws, there will be blood. . . .

This is the epic story of new arrivals in the Old West—a proud family of dreamers in the untamed wilds of Texas Hill Country . . .They came to America to start a new life. Three brothers and their sister, the Baxter heirs lost everything they had in Europe so they boarded a ship to the Texas coast, hoping to stake a claim in the land of opportunity.

So begins a blood-drenched feud that will haunt and pursue them as they try to build a future in Texas Hill Country . . .Now a fugitive on the run, the wrongly accused Perry Baxter changes his name and joins the Texas Rangers—waiting for the day his past catches up to him. His oldest brother, Athelston, struggles to build a ranch in Commanche territory while the middle brother Jeremy turns to gambling and running with outlaws.

Painting the Town Red - J.A. Johnstone, William W. Johnstone
Welcome back to Dead Broke, Colorado. Where the latest discovery—a giant boulder of zinc—ignites a kill-crazy war that rocks the Rockies to their core . . .Ever since the silver market crashed, the mining town of Dead Broke has been awfully quiet. The local marshal—legendary gunman Duncan “Mick” MacMicking—doesn’t have much to do besides outshoot the occasional greenhorn looking to challenge him. But all this peace and quiet is about to end. Mayor Nugget has unearthed a mineral to rival his famous “Hope Diamond of Silver.” He calls it the “Zinc of Zion,” a 1,776-pound boulder of pure zinc carbonate. And when he announces his discovery at the World’s Fair in Chicago, the quiet little boomtown of Dead Broke goes boom—again—with a vengeance . . . First, a mining expert from Germany shows up—with his eyes on the prize. Then, a reporter from Baltimore arrives—and ends up dead in one of the mines. It doesn’t take long for the town marshal and mayor to realize they’ve got a full-blown zinc war on their hands. Fueled by greed—and backed by gunpower—the German’s business proposition turns into a very hostile takeover. And then the German himself turns out to be a notorious outlaw with a long history of stealing whatever—and killing whoever—he wants. There’s just one thing stopping him from painting the whole town red: a gunfighting legend who happens to be the town marshal they call Mick . . .

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - Kamkwamba William
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURED DIRECTED BY AND STARRING CHIWETEL EJIOFOR â “ AVAILABLE ON NETFLIXWhen William Kamkwamba was just 14 years old, his family told him that he must leave school and come home to work on the farm â “ they could no longer afford his fees. This is his story of how he found a way to make a difference, how he bought light to his family and village, and hope to his nation.Malawi is a country battling AIDS, drought and famine, and in 2002, a season of floods, followed by the most severe famine in fifty years, brought it to its knees. Like the majority of the population, William s family were farmers. They were totally reliant on the maize crop. By the end of 2001, after many lean and difficult years, there was no more crop. They were running out of food â “ had nothing to sell â “ and had months until they would be able to harvest their crop again.Forced to leave school at 14 years old, with no hope of raising the funds to go again, William resorted to borrowing books from the small local library to continue his education. One day, browsing the titles, he picked up a book about energy, with a picture of a wind turbine on the front cover. Fascinated by science and electricity, but knowing little more about the technology, William decided to build his own. Ridiculed by those around him, and exhausted from his work in the fields every day, and using nothing more than bits of scrap metal, old bicycle parts and wood from the blue gum tree, he slowly built his very own windmill.This windmill has changed the world in which William and his family live. Only 2 per cent of Malawi has electricity; William s windmill now powers the lightbulbs and radio for his compound. He has since built more windmills for his school and his village.When news of William s invention spread, people from across the globe offered to help him. Soon he was re-enrolled in college and travelling to America to visit wind farms. This is his incredible story.William s dream is that other African s will learn to help themselves â “ one windmill and one light bulb at a time â “ and that maybe one day they will be able to power their own computers, and use the internet, and see for themselves how his life has changed after picking up that book in the library.

The Space Between Us - Doug Johnstone
When three people suffer strokes after seeing dazzling lights over Edinburgh, then awake completely recovered, they’re convinced their ordeal is connected to the alien creature discovered on a nearby beach … an adrenaline-soaked, deeply humane, life-affirming first-contact novel from one of Scotland’s most revered authors… **Selected for BBC 2 Between the Covers 2023** ‘All the drive, curiosity and wonder of his crime and mystery novels … science fiction gains a new author’ Derek B Miller ‘If you read one life-affirming book this year, make sure it’s this one’ Nina Pottell, Prima ‘The main characters, their lives and their struggles, are portrayed very vividly. I was straight into this, just like a thriller’ Ivo Graham on Between the Covers –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Connecting will change everything… Lennox is a troubled teenager with no family. Ava is eight months pregnant and fleeing her abusive husband. Heather is a grieving mother and cancer sufferer. They don’t know each other, but when a meteor streaks over Edinburgh, all three suffer instant, catastrophic strokes... ...only to wake up the following day in hospital, miraculously recovered. When news reaches them of an octopus-like creature washed up on the shore near where the meteor came to earth, Lennox senses that some extra-terrestrial force is at play. With the help of Ava, Heather and a journalist, Ewan, he rescues the creature they call #39;Sandy #39; and goes on the run. But they aren’t the only ones with an interest in the alien … close behind are Ava’s husband, the police and a government unit who wants to capture the creature, at all costs. And Sandy’s arrival may have implications beyond anything anyone could imagine… –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ‘This had all the makings of a film … such relatable characters.

Doug Johnstone has hit it out of the park again’ Mark Billingham ‘A delicious, demanding departure from Doug Johnstone’ Val McDermid ‘Science fiction may be a departure for Johnstone, but he’s approached it like the crime thrillers that made his name, prioritising pace, tension and high stakes … a plea for empathy, compassion and perspective, and a celebration of our capacity to connect with one another, shot through with vivid characters and a sense of wonder’ Herald Scotland ‘An entertaining, fast-paced story of first contact … well told, with relatable characters and important themes making for an emotionally engaging read’ Guardian ‘A gloriously hopeful story and a perfect road trip movie just waiting to be made … I can’t recommend this highly enough’ James Oswald ‘An adrenaline-filled ride of a novel, laced with empathy and understanding for our instinctual need to connect #39; Rachelle Atalla #39;Johnstone #39;s mesmeric story artfully puts Scotland centre stage in a sci-fi drama that is as much about the smallness of mankind and the importance of kinship … Pay attention, Steven Spielberg! This could be your next film’ Marnie Riches ‘A clever and unusual read … I was on a journey with these characters, and completely transfixed’ Susi Holliday ‘Doug Johnstone held me spellbound with this mesmerising tale of wonder and hope’ Marion Todd ‘A heart-warming, fast-paced, often tense look at friendships that surpass all boundaries, and an exploration of the very basic need for connection and a place to belong … divine’ Jen Med’s Book Reviews What readers are saying ***** ‘I wish I could adequately convey how much I loved this book’ ‘A beautiful story … it brought me to tears’ ‘A masterpiece … compassionate, full of love and hope’ ‘An out-of-this-world, mesmerising first-contact story about the striking importance and impact of true connection’ ‘Riveting’ ‘High stakes, high adrenaline and somehow so gentle and moving.

People Like Us - Hashi Mohamed
A New Statesman Book of the YearAS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 S BOOK OF THE WEEK Hashi Mohamed powerfully exposes the alienating and segregating effect of social immobility in this country. David Lammy A moving, shocking and clear-eyed account of the increasingly rare phenomenon of social mobility. Using his own extraordinary story as a spine [Hashi Mohamed] has written an analysis, how-to-guide and polemic on getting on and up in Britain today. - Grayson Perry Beautifully written and powerfully argued, People Like Us is essential reading The Secret BarristerWhat does it take to make it in modern Britain? Ask a politician, and they ll tell you it s hard work. Ask a millionaire, and they ll tell you it s talent. Ask a CEO and they ll tell you it s dedication. But what if none of those things is enough?Raised on benefits and having attended some of the lowest-performing schools in the country, barrister Hashi Mohamed knows something about social mobility. In People Like Us, he shares what he has learned: from the stark statistics that reveal the depth of the problem to the failures of imagination, education and confidence that compound it. We live in a society where the single greatest indicator of what your job will be is the job of your parents. Where power and privilege are concentrated among the 7 per cent of the population who were privately educated. Where, if your name sounds black or Asian, you ll need to send out twice as many job applications as your white neighbour. Wherever you are on the social spectrum, this is an essential investigation into our society s most intractable problem. We have more power than we realise to change things for the better.

Impro - Keith Johnstone
In this landmark work Keith Johnstone provides a revelatory guide to rediscovering and unlocking the imagination. Admired for its clarity and zest, Impro lays bare the techniques and exercises used to foster spontaneity and narrative skill for actors. These techniques and exercises were evolved in the actors studio, when he was Associate Director of the Royal Court and then in demonstrations to schools and colleges and ultimately in the founding of a company of performers called The Theatre Machine. Divided into four sections, Status , Spontaneity , Narrative Skills and Masks and Trance , arranged more or less in the order a group might approach them, the book sets out the specific approaches which Johnstone has himself found most useful and most stimulating. The result is a fascinating exploration of the nature of spontaneous creativity. If teachers were honoured in the British theatre along-side directors, designers and playwrights, Keith Johnstone would be as familiar a name as are those of . . . Jocelyn Herbert, Edward Bond and other young talents who were drawn to the great lodestone of the Royal Court Theatre in the late 1950s. As head of the script department, Johnstone played a crucial part in the development of the writers theatre. Irving Wardle

The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay - Flora Johnston
1927. Flight fever is running high and daring flyers are all anyone can talk about. And now the Honourable Miss Elsie Mackay, glamorous former film star and regular name in gossip columns, has a new ambition - to be the first woman to fly the Atlantic.Elsie s friend Stella Campbell once felt at the heart of world events, but now post-war hopes are frayed and marriage and motherhood have worn away her sense of self. In recent years, Stella s sister Corran has been wrapped up in her books and academic career, determinedly single, or so it seems. But when Corran s carefully guarded secrets start to emerge, will she choose to follow her heart?The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay takes the moving story of a pioneering Scottish aviator and weaves in the threads of other women straining to reach for their dreams on the cusp of an uncertain future. Flora Johnston brings to life the tragic story of pioneering Scottish aviator Elsie Mackay who disappeared in 1928 while attempting to be the first person to fly the Atlantic east to west and the first woman in either direction. Johnston s follow-up to The Paris Peacemakers is a powerful evocation of the 1920s, its sweeping outlook taking in the international aviation race, Glasgow s ship yards and the insidious threat of Mussolini s Italy. Perennial fascination with early female aviators like Amelia Earhart and Amy Johnston.

Pioneer Merchants Of Singapore, The: Johnston, Boustead, Guthrie And Others - Richard Edward Hale
Pioneer Merchants of Singapore tells the stories of some of Singapore s earliest merchants, including Alexander Laurie Johnston, Edward Boustead, Alexander Guthrie, and eleven others, including Tan Che Sang, Dr Jose d Almeida, and D S Napier. Much has been written about Sir Stamford Raffles and Lt. Col. Farquhar, but almost nothing has been published about these merchants of all races operating in Singapore during the first few years following its acquisition by the East India Company in 1819. It includes never-before-published information drawn from letters dating back to 1818. These, including letters from Johnston s first employee and business partner Andrew Hay and a previously unrecorded letter from Raffles himself, shed light on much which otherwise would have been lost to us. This book aims to fill a gap in our knowledge of the early days of Singapore and the challenges faced by its early residents. It is a must-read for those who are interested in the history of Singapore s early years as a trading colony.

The Future Loves You - Dr Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston
A brilliant young neuroscientist explains how to preserve our minds indefinitely, enabling future generations to choose to revive usJust as surgeons once believed pain was good for their patients, some argue today that death brings meaning to life. But given humans rarely live beyond a century â “ even while certain whales can thrive for over two hundred years â “ itâ ™s hard not to see our biological limits as profoundly unfair. No wonder then that most people nearing death wish they still had more time.Yet, with ever-advancing science, will the ends of our lives always loom so close? For from ventilators to brain implants, modern medicine has been blurring what it means to die. In a lucid synthesis of current neuroscientific thinking, Zeleznikow-Johnston explains that death is no longer the loss of heartbeat or breath, but of personal identity â “ that the core of our identities is our minds, and that our minds are encoded in the structure of our brains. On this basis, he explores how recently invented brain preservation techniques now offer us all the chance of preserving our minds to enable our future revival.Whether they fought for justice or cured diseases, we are grateful to those of our ancestors who helped craft a kinder world â “ yet they cannot enjoy the fruits of the civilization they helped build. But if we work together to create a better future for our own descendants, we may even have the chance to live in it. Because, should we succeed, then just maybe, the future will love us enough to bring us back and share their world with us.
