The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Now the battle has come home. 
 
When a presidential candidate is assassinated during a summer retreat on Nantucket Island, the country is thrown into turmoil. 
 
Enter Rocket’s Red Glare – a covert unit so classified it doesn’t officially exist. Led by former Special Forces operative Nat Phillips, this team is built to respond when national security collapses.

To save his country, Phillips must face the unthinkable – because the next war has already begun.

Mark Ronson

Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, the Barbie soundtrack. Behind some of the biggest musical moments in the past two decades is one man: Mark Ronson. Now, his memoir Night People captures the music, characters, escapades and energy of his formative DJ days in '90s New York. 
 
Mark Ronson was born a night person. With hedonistic creatives for parents, parties became his playground. Yet, having moved to New York City from London at a young age, he always felt like a bit of an outsider, until discovering himself in the pulsing, unifying joy of the city’s parties and hip-hop scene. Each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibilities. Having well and truly caught the DJing bug, he worked to find his place and make his name in the city that never sleeps. 
 
Night People conjures the undeniable magic of '90s New York, when clubs were diverse, glamorous, a little lawless. It evokes the rush of a time and place where fashionistas and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5'ers – and invites us into the tribe of creatives and partiers who came alive when the sun went down. 
 
A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of a cultural moment and the making of a musical mastermind.

A Galaxy of Her Own

Amazing Stories of Women in Space

David Ovason

Ovason takes a well-known image or turning point in each successive epoch of modern history and shows that our understanding of what lies behind it is completely wrong. Moreover he reverses the general assumption that these epochs, e. g. Renaissance, Age of Reason, Romantics, the Industrial Revolution, were essentially secularising, materialising movements, by revealing the spiritual impulses behind them. Topics include the astrology in medieval churches, what Joan of Arc did for England, the shadowy 'superior' who instrcued both John Dee and Francis Bacon, the evil infiltration of Masonic lodges that gave rise to the French Revolution and why Nazis showed the swastika spinning backwards.
