The Man With Night Sweats - Thom Gunn
With an illuminating new preface by Colm TóibÃn, here is Thom Gunn''s extraordinary memorial to love, life and death in the time of the AIDS crisisThe Man With Night Sweats, originally published in 1992, sees Thom Gunn writing at the height of his powers. The collection begins with poems that celebrate love and sex and bodies – whether the exuberance of a swimming otter, the nimble moves of a tow-headed skateboarder or the habituated coming together of two old lovers. In devastating contrast, the poems in the last section are unflinching portraits and accounts of the illness and deaths of friends during the AIDS epidemic. Written out of a lifetime’s experience of perfecting his art, these poems are unsurpassed in elegiac intensity and among the most poignant responses to those terrible times.''Gunn has risen to his inescapable new subject with verse of quiddity, depth and terrible truthfulness.'' Financial Times''Elegies as unblinking and heartfelt as anything he has written.'' The Times

The Man With Night Sweats - Thom Gunn
Thom Gunn''s The Man with Night Sweats shows him writing at the height of his powers, equally in command of classical forms and of looser, more colloquial measures, and ready to address a wide range of themes, both intimate and social. The book ends with a set of poems about the deaths of friends from AIDS. With their unflinching directness, compassion and grace, they are among the most moving statements yet to have been provoked by the disease.

''Constantly entertaining ... So much here to amuse and inform'' Observer''These friendly, knockabout letters are a treat'' Sunday Telegraph''Irresistible'' New York Times________________________Before the world-famous Bond films came the world-famous novels. This book tells the story of the man who wrote them and how he created spy fiction''s most compelling hero.In August 1952, Ian Fleming bought a gold-plated typewriter as a present to himself for finishing his first novel, Casino Royale. It marked in glamorous style the arrival of James Bond, agent 007, and the start of a career that saw Fleming become one of the world’s most celebrated thriller writers. Before his death in 1964 he produced fourteen bestselling Bond books, two works of non-fiction and the famous children’s story Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. Fleming’s output was matched by an equally energetic flow of letters. He wrote constantly, to his wife, publisher, editors, fans, critics and friends, including Raymond Chandler, Noël Coward and Somerset Maugham. His letters - witty and charming, funny and revealing - chart 007’s progress: from badgering his publisher about his quota of free copies to apologising to readers for having mistaken a certain brand of perfume and for equipping Bond with the wrong kind of gun.

This "glorious" revelatory biography from a Pulitzer Prize winner is about the most essential Founding Father (Ron Chernow)—the one who stood behind the change in thinking that produced the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, “Samuel Adams was the man.” With high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history.

A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country.

On the Move - Oliver Sacks
When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: ''Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far''. It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going . . .From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sacks''s earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters and travels – sending him through bars and alleys, over oceans, and across continents.With unbridled honesty and humour, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions –bodybuilding, weightlifting, and swimming – also drives his cerebral passions.

Going on the Turn - Danny Baker
In this book my father dies. I almost die.*** My showbiz career winds down. And yet everyone keeps telling me it''s the funniest book I''ve ever written. If I''d known that''s what the public wanted, I''d have cancelled Pets Win Prizes and just got sick sooner. Along the way this time we encounter, among others, David Bowie, Kanye West (I think), John Cleese, Peter O''Toole, and have several adventures in the Fourth Dimension. Oh, and I can reveal the Man With The Foulest Mouth In All Show Business. Plus assorted high-kicking hoopla and a whole lot of rather stark stuff about what it''s like to be told you could be On The Way Out. *** (SPOILER ALERT: I don''t actually die.)

Goodnight Night Sweats - Mina Pauze
“This made me laugh. Brava!” —Isabella Rossellini A laugh-out-loud parody of Goodnight Moon for any woman approaching (or deep in the throes of) menopause, written and illustrated under pseudonyms by publishing veteran Brenda Bowen and award-winning artist Jessie Hartland.Riffing on the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Night Sweats takes on “the change” with big heart and humor. Through playful prose and witty illustrations, Haut Flasch and Mina Pauze explore the trials of menopause (and perimenopause)—hot flashes, mood swings, too much hair some places, too little others. At the same time, they cheer for the freedom that comes with getting older—goodbye, cramps! hello hard-won wisdom!—as they celebrate the fabulousness of women of a certain age.

In a series of extraordinary photographs, Inside the Star Factory tells the story of the Webb Telescope from conception to launch—a marvel of ingenuity and engineering that entailed more than 100 million people hours over a span of thirty years.The project’s lead photographer Chris Gunn was there from the start, documenting the Webb’s tumultuous history—the behind-the-scenes details of its construction, from the cutting-edge technology required for an observatory operating at temperatures as low as –370°F, beyond reach for repair, to the human story of an engineering team pursuing an unprecedented goal under incomparable pressure. Derided as the “telescope that ate astronomy,” billions of dollars over budget, ten years over schedule, nearly canceled twice, Webb was simply too big to fail.Accompanied by science writer Christopher Wanjek’s overview of the Webb’s history and profiles of the scientists and engineers who built it, this ...

The Life, Style and Music of Charli XCX - Charlotte Gunn
In summer 2024, Charli XCX released BRAT. It defined the summer with songs like '360', 'Apple' and 'Von Dutch', but it was more than perfect pop - it was fashion, it was an attitude, it was a cultural phenomenon. This book charts the rise of Charli XCX - from 'young girl from Essex' to pop icon. Written by music journalist Charlotte Gunn, this book is a deep-dive into the music, styles and influence of Charli. Complete with behind-the-scenes stories and incredible photos, chapters delve into her early musical inspirations to her collaborations with Troye Sivan and Billie Eilish, from her inimitable lyrical vulnerability and the lockdown recording of the album How I'm Feeling Now, which resonated with a huge LGBTQ+ audience. While nothing can compare to the energy of a CharliXCX gig, this book is the next best thing.
