The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war.

To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies. Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad s deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. Though Nahri is finding peace in the rhythms of her old home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a savior, are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains. As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved...and take a stand for those they once hurt.

For Sacks, these thinkers were constant companions from an early age; the questions they explored â “ the meaning of evolution, the roots of creativity, and the nature of consciousness â “ lie at the heart of science and of this book.

Burma is currently ruled by a harsh dictatorship unmoved by Western activists and sanctions. It is also the sight of the longest-running conflict in the world. Drawing both on his own family s stories and his years of hands-on political experience working with the United Nations, Thant Myint-U has written an illuminating account of how Burma s rich past informs its violent present, and of how the world might transform the country s future. In The River of Lost Footsteps, Thant Myint-U tells the story of modern Burma, in part through a telling of his own family s history, in an interwoven narrative that is by turns lyrical, dramatic, and appalling. His maternal grandfather, U Thant, rose from being the schoolmaster of a small town in the Irrawaddy Delta to become the UN secretary-general in the 1960s. And on his father s side, the author is descended from a long line of courtiers who served at Burma s Court of Ava for nearly two centuries. Through their stories and others, he portrays Burma s rise and decline in the modern world, from the time of Portuguese pirates and renegade Mughal princes through the decades of British colonialism, the devastation of World War II, a sixty-year civil war that continues today, military repression and the emergence of Nobel Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. The River of Lost Footsteps is a work both personal and global, a distinctive contribution that makes Burma accessible and enthralling. Thant Myint-U is the author of Where China Meets India and has written articles for the New York Times, the Washington Post and the New Statesman.

A celebration of the world’s most cherished cinemas, from vintage movie houses to quirky start-ups.There is an enduring love for old cinemas. It may have something to do with Maya Angelou’s famous quote that ‘…people will never forget how you made them feel’. Cinemas have been the places where all kinds of emotions have been felt – heartstrings are tugged, fears exposed, and then there is that explosion of joy with a happy ending. Cinemas are a place of communal experience, of first dates, of strong reactions. And you remember them. That’s why people hate to see cinemas torn down.Silver Screens is a celebration of movie houses and drive-ins from around the world that continue to show feature films. All cinemas are working and open for business – the book works as a part travel guide featuring a directory of contact addresses so you can visit each one that s listed.There are the wonderful art deco masterpieces, such as the 1938 Rex in Berkhamsted; or the art deco Raj Mandir in Jaipur, India; or the Sun Theatre in Melbourne, an art deco building that now holds eight cinemas each named after a closed Melbourne movie house.There are historic cinemas – such as the Texas Theater, Dallas, where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested (his seat is flagged). And the Biopic in Chicago where John Dillinger was gunned down as he left.There are the far-flung cinemas from around the globe, the most northerly, the most southerly, the biggest single screen (India), the official smallest cinema (in Italy) the oldest in Britain, the oldest in the World.There are the famous cinemas – such as Mann’s Chinese Theater or the Egyptian in Hollywood, or Cine Dore Filmoteca in Madrid which featured in Pedro Almodovar’s Talk to Her and Pain Glory which survived a direct hit from an artillery shell in the Spanish Civil War.So grab your popcorn and settle in. Welcome to the world of Silver Screens, where the magic of cinema lives on.

John Ruskin’s The King of the Golden River was the first literary fairy tale in English. Includes Richard Doyle’s original illustrations and Simon Cooke’s essay.John Ruskin wrote this fable for a teenage family friend, Effie, and later he married her. The marriage was famously disastrous, but before it fell apart the Ruskins allowed The King of the Golden River to be published. It became one of the most popular works for children of its time. Richard Doyle contributed over 25 full-page illustrations and vignettes. The King of the Golden River is the first literary fairy tale in English (as opposed to collected folk tales). Ruskin himself said it was ‘a fairly good imitation of Grimm and Dickens, mixed with some true Alpine feeling of my own’. Later he spoke of the capacity of the traditional tales ‘to fortify children against the glacial cold of selfish science’. It remains a powerful fable about humanity’s dual capacity for destructiveness and redeeming love, with as strange fairy-tale creatures as one could hope to meet. An essay by Simon Cooke explains the book’s importance.

At dawn on 13 December 1939, smoke was seen on the horizon; HMS Exeter was told to close in and investigate. Two minutes later a dramatic signal was sent from the British cruiser I think it is a pocket battleship. It was. The Deutschland-class heavy cruiser Admiral Graf Spee, marauder of the South Atlantic shipping, had sailed into a trap. Three smaller British cruisers closed in on a German warship which, so Hitler had boasted, could out-sail any ship powerful enough to damage her, and out-gun any ship able to keep up with her an invincible ship. So began the Battle of the River Plate, story which has its duplicates in British naval history, but which nevertheless brought pride and inspiration into the hearts of a nation unwillingly at war once again. A terrible battle was fought that day off the coast of South America, a naval encounter in the finest Nelson tradition and true to that tradition, victory went to the men with the finest armament of all, courage. This edition will be presented with an Appendix containing the official despatch detailing the Battle of the River Plate.

â ˜This complex, compelling tale is told with simplicity and grace - The TimesA story of courage and adventure, set against the backdrop of the race to exploit Africa by the colonial powers.For millennia the location of the Nile River s headwaters was shrouded in mystery. In the mid-19th century, Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke were sent by the Royal Geographical Society to claim the prize for Britain. Burton spoke twenty-nine languages, and was a decorated soldier. He was also mercurial, subtle, and an iconoclastic atheist. Speke was a young aristocrat and Army officer determined to make his mark, Burtonâ ™s opposite in temperament and beliefs.From the start the two men clashed. They would endure tremendous hardship, illness, and constant setbacks. Two years in, deep in the African interior, Burton became too sick to press on, but Speke did, and claimed he found the source in a great lake that he christened Lake Victoria. When they returned to England, the two became sworn enemies.Yet there was a third man on both expeditions, his name obscured by imperial annals, whose exploits were even more extraordinary. This was Sidi Mubarak Bombay, who was enslaved and shipped from his home village in East Africa to India. When the man who purchased him died, he made his way into the local Sultanâ ™s army, and eventually travelled back to Africa, where he used his resourcefulness, linguistic prowess and raw courage to forge a living as a guide. Without Bombay and men like him, who led, carried, and protected the expedition, neither Englishman would have come close to the headwaters of the Nile, or perhaps even survived.
