â ˜Extraordinaryâ ™ TELEGRAPH ????? Bee Wilson is one of my favourite writers and this may be her best book CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN This strikingly original account from award-winning food writer Bee Wilson charts how everyday objects take on deeply personal meanings in all our lives. One ordinary day, the tin in which Bee Wilson baked her wedding cake fell to the ground at her feet. This should have been unremarkable, except that her marriage had just ended. Unsettled by her own feelings about the heart-shaped tin, Wilson begins a search for others who have attached strong and even magical meanings to kitchen objects. She meets people who deal with grief or pain by projecting emotions onto certain objects, whether it is a beloved parentâ ™s salt shaker, a cracked pasta bowl or an inherited china dinner service. Remembering her own mother, a dementia sufferer, she explores the ways that both of them have been haunted by deciding which kitchen utensils to hold on to and which to get rid of when you think you are losing your mind. Looking to different continents, cultures and civilisations to investigate the full scope of this phenomenon, Wilson blends her own experiences with a series of touching personal stories that reflect the irrational and fundamentally human urge to keep mementos. Why would a man trapped in a concentration camp decide to make a spoon for himself? Why do some people hoard? What do gifts mean? How do we decide what is junk and what is treasure? We see firsthand how objects can contain hidden symbols, keep the past alive and even become powerful symbols of identity and resistance; from a childâ ™s first plate to a refugeeâ ™s rescued vegetable corers. Thoughtful, tender and beautifully written, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a moving examination of love, loss, broken cups and the legacy of things we all leave behind. â ˜This is both a memoir of a divorce and a sweeping cultural commentary â ¦ A fascinating and heartwarming readâ ™ The Times Sunday Times Best Summer Reads 2025 â ˜This beautifully written book about the deep significance of certain objects in our kitchen â “ is nothing less than an intense, compassionate expression of the human condition â ¦ Both intimate and expansive, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a book I know Iâ ™ll give, urgently and importantly, to those I loveâ ™ Nigella Lawson â ˜I loved this book â ¦ Very few food writers can do what Bee does. It made me think again â “ and with more tenderness â “ about the kitchen objects that I ordinarily take for granted. These are the human stories embedded in our material culture, and Bee brings them effortlessly to lifeâ ™ Ruby Tandoh Heart-wrenching and heart-warming in equal measure. No one is so good at capturing the everyday magic of kitchens, cooking and life as Bee Wilson Letitia Clark â ˜Bee Wilson has changed the landscape of the kitchen by breathing life into ordinary objects. Through this remarkable book you will find yourself discovering meaning in plates, sadness in spoons, love in a measuring cup. I want to give this book to every cook I knowâ ™ Ruth Reichl A moving and fascinating exploration of the vital role played by household objects in our love of home and family Sophie Hannah

With extensive research, real-world examples, and hands-on applications, this go-to guide offers a comprehensive look at the principles and practices of biochar—and all of its world-changing uses.Like many human discoveries, biochar has likely been invented, lost, and reinvented multiple times. It can be found in the rich terra preta soils of the Amazon and in the ancient “dark earths” dotting Africa, Asia, and Europe. However, biochar isn’t just an archeological curiosity. In The Biochar Handbook, author Kelpie Wilson argues that the simple process of burning organic material in a low-oxygen, low-emission environment could be one of the most powerful tools we have to restore degraded soils and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.In accessible and authoritative prose, Wilson demonstrates that biochar is a low-tech but effective means of reducing wildfire risks, restoring soil carbon, managing manure, weaning farms off of toxic inputs, and producing the best compost ever made.In this book, you’ll also find:A pocket history of biocharStep-by-step instructions on making biochar for yourselfApplications for soil water retention, pest deterrence, compost enhancement, and moreInspiring examples of ecosystem restoration and improved forest managementLow-cost recipes, including Cultured Biochar and Sustainable Potting Soil Wilson makes a compelling case that biochar is both simple to make and a potent solution to a host of knotty problems, both global and close to home. Whether you’re a gardener, homesteader, rancher, commercial farmer, permaculturalist, or forest manager, this book will show you how to put biochar to work, making you and your community more resilient as a result.

Praise for Jonathan WIlson: SUPERB The Observer EXCELLENT ESPN INSIGHTFUL When Saturday Comes EPIC Evening Standard FASCINATING IndependentA definitive history of Manchester United told through the 10 key football matches that have shaped the clubAward-winning football writer Jonathan Wilson has crafted a compelling analysis of Manchester United s history through the ten landmark games that have shaped the club s fortunes - from the first time they lifted the FA Cup in 1909, beating Bristol City, to the FA Cup victory of 2016 that proved to be Louis van Gaal s last match in charge. In doing so, he identifies the pivotal moments in the club s rise to becoming one of the foremost teams in world football.With his trademark tactical acumen, Wilson goes back to the games themselves and subjects them to forensic examination, re-evaluation and reassessment, going beyond the white noise of banal player quotes and instant judgements to uncover what really happened. The result is a unique football history of one of England s greatest and most famous clubs.

A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey s shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan s library, Lord John and the Hand of the Devils brings these three unique novellas together for the first time.____________Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels (and chronologically precedes the novel Lord John and the Private Matter). A young diplomat is killed in the street as he begs Lord John for help. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham AbbeyIn Lord John and the Succubus, Grey s assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious night-hag, who spreads fear and death among the troops. Acknowledging that he is unlikely to fall victim to a succubus, Lord John is obliged to contend with the marauding night-hag before the enemy arrives. This tale with a touch of the supernatural bridges the action between Gabaldon s two full-length Lord John tales.Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry s questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld (a central action in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade). Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot -- haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.____________Readers love Lord John and the Hand of Devils . . .***** John Grey is my spirit animal. I am such a fan of this series! ***** My eyes couldn t read fast enough!! ***** I enjoyed all three, once again became lost in the time period within seconds of starting to read....I don t know how Diana G. does it! ***** I really, really liked this trilogy of novellas that were included in this book. ***** The insight is fascinating, interesting and favourable.

Trust me, this is a great true story - Ken Follett It deserves to be ranked among the great survival stories of the Second World War - The Jewish Chronicle ~~~~~ The captivating true story of one boy s flight across Europe to escape the Nazis. A tale of extraordinary courage, incredible adventure, and the relentless pursuit of life in the face of impossible challenges. In early 1940 Chaim Herszman was locked in to the Lódz Ghetto in Poland. Hungry, fearless and determined, he goes on scavenging missions outside the wire limits, until he is forced to kill a Nazi guard. That moment changes the course of his life, and sets him on an unbelievable adventure across enemy lines. Chaim avoids grenade and rifle fire on the Russian border, shelters with a German family in Berlin, falls in love in occupied France, is captured on a mountain pass in Spain, gets interrogated as a potential Nazi spy in Britain, and eventually fights for everything he believes in as part of the British Army. He protects his life by posing as an Aryan boy with a crucifix around his neck, and fights for his life through terrible and astonishing circumstances. Escape from the Ghetto is about a normal boy who faced extermination by the Nazis in the ghetto or a Nazi deathcamp, and the extraordinary life he led in avoiding that fate.

The Upside of Down is a powerful true story of resilience, as John Ulsh recounts his journey from a catastrophic accident and a near-hopeless prognosis to overcoming immense physical and emotional challenges—offering readers an inspiring roadmap to rebuilding their lives, embracing adversity, and reclaiming their personal power.One December afternoon, John Ulsh and his family were laughing and looking forward to picking out the perfect Christmas tree. Then—impact. Metal twisted, glass shattered, and life as he knew it was torn apart. The next thing John remembers is waking up in a hospital bed from a coma. John and his family were hit head-on in a collision with a combined impact of 125 mph. Given less than a 3 percent chance of survival, he spent weeks in a coma, months in hospitals and rehabs, and years in recovery. With his body shattered, he endured more than forty-five surgeries, relentless pain, and a long road to rebuilding both his body and mind—refusing to let tragedy define him. The Upside of Down is more than a story of survival—it’s a roadmap for resilience. Through raw storytelling and actionable strategies, John shares the principles that helped him move beyond survival and rebuild his life. Readers will learn how to: - Understand the real source of your struggles—because the surface problem is rarely the true obstacle. - Create a written plan—a roadmap that keeps you moving forward even when motivation fades. - Take the first step—because change doesn’t happen until you do something about it. - Fall in love with the process—because real growth isn’t just about reaching the goal; it’s about who you become along the way. - Turn setbacks into stepping stones—by reframing challenges as opportunities for growth. - Build unshakable consistency—because success isn’t about motivation; it’s about showing up every day. - Surround themselves with the right people—because no one overcomes adversity alone. - Shift from external validation to personal fulfillment—because true success is measured by inner growth, not outside approval. This book will challenge you to confront what holds you back, inspire you to take action, and remind you that each day is a gift—don’t wait to live it.

When Aubrey, a young Englishman, meets a mysterious man from London high society, Lord Ruthven, they become unlikely friends. Shortly after, Aubrey decides to accompany the noble on a trip to Rome. However, when a moral disagreement arises between the two, Aubrey decides to leave Ruthven in Rome, and goes off on his own. Arriving in Greece, Aubrey meets Ianthe, and the two share an immediate connection. After sharing stories and an evening together, Aubrey and Ianthe part ways for the night. However, after a devastating turn of events, Aubrey and Ruthven reunite, and Aubrey, ready to leave Greece behind, is happy to travel with the older man once again. But as they continue their travels, Aubrey slowly begins to notice Ruthven’s odd behavior. After even more consideration, Aubrey realizes a shocking pattern—nearly everyone that Ruthven comes in close contact to meets an untimely end. Afraid of his newly acquired knowledge, Aubrey attempts to distance himself from the suspicious man, though he is forced to reconsider his efforts when Ruthven expresses intent to marry Aubrey’s sister. First published under Lord Byron’s name, The Vampyre rose to immediate commercial success. However, though he was inspired by a discarded piece of Lord Bryon’s work, both authors have since admitted that John William Polidori was the true writer of The Vampyre. Considered to be the first work of vampire fiction, The Vampyre had an immense role in shaping vampires as literary figures, influencing the canonical rules of vampires that many still follow today. First published in 1819, Polidori’s The Vampyre remains to be a thrilling and spooky read centuries later, and has since inspired both film and theater adaptations. With mystery and eerie suspense, Polidori’s work is an extraordinary example of 19th century gothic horror. This edition of The Vampyre by John William Polidori features a striking new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, The Vampyre caters to a contemporary audience while preserving the original innovation of John William Polidori’s work.

The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with murder.With no physical evidence, the prosecution s case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence.Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row.But as Grisham methodically lays out, there was no case against him. Ron Williamson was wrongly condemned to die. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.__________________In 2018, THE INNOCENT MAN was adapted by Netflix into a gripping six-part true crime series.__________________â ˜A master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos â “ Irish Independent John Grisham is the master of legal fiction â “ Jodi Picoult The best thriller writer alive â “ Ken Follettâ ˜John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing, fast-paced thrillersâ ™ â “ Telegraphâ ˜Grisham is a superb, instinctive storytellerâ ™ â “ The Timesâ ˜Grisham s storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own.â ™ â “ Daily Recordâ ˜Masterful â “ when Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they re not just alive, they re pulsatingâ ™ â “ Mirrorâ ˜A giant of the thriller genreâ ™ â “ TimeOut
