In August 1914 the two greatest navies in the world confronted each other across the North Sea. At first there were skirmishes, then battles off the coasts of England and Germany and in the far corners of the world, including the Falklands. The British attempted to force the Dardanelles with battleships - which led to the Gallipoli catastrophe. As the stalemate on the ground on the Western Front continued, the German Navy released a last strike against the British 'ring of steel'. The result was Jutland, a titanic and brutal battle between dreadnoughts. The knowledge, understanding and literary power Robert K. Massie brings to this story is unparalleled. There will never again be a war like this in which seagoing monsters hurl shells at each other until one side is destroyed

I wanted to change the world, but the world I was born into changed me first • My name is Jeremiah Emmanuel. I'm twenty one years old. I'm an activist, an entrepreneur, a former deputy young mayor of Lambeth and member of the UK Youth Parliament • Raised in south London, I lived in an area where crime and poverty were everywhere and opportunities to escape were rare. Violence was accepted, prison was expected. That was the world I knew; the only one I thought was possible for people like me • Then I discovered another world, one with opportunities round every corner. As I grew my network, I realised that the system actively works against certain members of society, silently preventing people from succeeding. I made it my mission to change this, and to teach people like me about the secret rules of society that empower some to get ahead and keep others down

Роберт Форчун был шотландским садовником, ботаником, охотником за растениями и промышленным шпионом. В 1848 году Ост-Индская компания поручила ему совершить тайную поездку во внутренние районы Китая — территорию, запрещенную для иностранцев, — чтобы украсть тщательно охраняемые секреты чая • На протяжении веков Китай был единственным в мире производителем чая. Великобритания закупила этот товар для своей империи, продав опиум китайцам – ядовитые отношения, ради поддержания которых Британия вела две разрушительные войны. Ост-Индская компания принесла щедрую прибыль как посредник, но она изжила свое, потеряв монополию на торговлю чаем. Спасением, по его мнению, было создание собственных плантаций в Гималаях в Британской Индии • Было всего две проблемы: в Индии не было чайных растений, которые стоило бы выращивать, а если бы они были, компания бы не знала, что с ними делать

И когда они это сделают, их противоположные натуры будут скреплены особой связью, но такой, которой угрожают наблюдающие глаза, бродячие владельцы и непонимающий мир • Книга на английском языке • For fans of The Essex Serpent and The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock

A major, comprehensive history of Russian food • When people think of Russian food they generally think either of opulent luxury, signified above all by caviar, or of poverty and hunger – of cabbage and potatoes and porridge. Both of these visions have a basis in reality, but both of them are incomplete. The history of food and drink in Russia includes hunger and it includes plenty, it includes scarcity and, for some, at least, abundance. It includes dishes that came out of the northern, forested regions and ones that incorporate foods from the wider Russian Empire and later from the Soviet Union. Cabbage and Caviar places Russian food and drink in the context of Russian history, and shows off the incredible (and largely unknown) variety of Russian food

Since its creation in 1896, the Olympic Games has become a worldwide phenomenon viewed by billions across the globe. Staged every four years, people from every country find it difficult not to be caught up in the excitement of the games, from the lighting of the Olympic flame at the lavish, spectacular opening ceremony to the extinguishing at its close. Over the years it has become an honour for a city to be chosen to host this showcase of fitness, strength and skill. And yet despite a great deal being written on the subject, few books have focused on how the visuals of the Games can shape the way in which the events themselves are viewed - until now. In Olympic Visions Mike O'Mahony explores how painters and sculptors, photographers and filmmakers, architects and designers have helped to shape the consciousness of spectators around the world
