The Theoretical Foot M. F. K. Fisher An unpublished novel by the iconic food writer, this portrait of 1930s bohemian life will take the literary world by storm

S

usan and Joe never want this perfect summer to end. It is the 1930s, and society frowns on the slack morals of couples living in sin – but judgement is suspended at the haven on Lake Geneva where Joe’s friend Sara and her lover Tim preside.

Here, surrounded by orchards heavy with plums, they are thrust into an exotic milieu of artistic Americans. As one day is recounted through the eyes of seven characters, the group’s hidden tensions and desires are revealed. This lost gem by one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated food writers is a witty, bold portrait of bohemian life.

C

orrine Calloway is a young stockbroker on Wall Street, her husband Russell an underpaid but ambitious publishing editor.

n August 2014, Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given ‘two or three years’ to live. In September 2014 she began writing essays in the London Review of Books describing living with terminal cancer and examining her complex, fifty-year relationship with the author Doris Lessing, who took Jenny in when she was a troubled teenager. Interweaving past and present, Diski’s narrative transports us to the hysterical battlefield of her parental home, her expulsion from school, her drug-taking twenties spent in and out of psychiatric hospitals – and paints a portrait of two extraordinary writers. From one of our most original voices comes a book like no other: a cerebral, witty, candid masterpiece about an uneasy relationship; about memory and writing, ingratitude and anger; about living with illness and facing death.

Architecture’s Odd Couple Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson

Hugh Howard A vibrant dual portrait that chronicles the lives of and volatile relationship between two of the most iconic figures in American architecture

I

n American architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867–1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906–2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history. In Architecture’s Odd Couple, Howard deftly traces the historical threads connecting the men, presenting an arresting portrait of two of modern architecture’s greats and how they shaped the American landscape by shaping each other.

Hugh Howard’s numerous books include Mr. and Mrs. Madison’s War: America’s First Couple and the War of 1812; The Painter’s Chair: George Washington and the Making of American Art; Dr. Kimball and Mr. Jefferson; the definitive Thomas Jefferson: Architect; Howard’s memoir House-Dreams; and the classic Houses of the Founding Fathers.

rank Browning takes us into human gender geographies around the world, from gender-neutral kindergartens in Chicago to transsexual Mormon parents in Utah. As he shares specific and engaging human stories, he also elucidates the neuroscience that distinguishes male and female biology and shows how men’s and women’s responses to age differ worldwide based not on biology but on their earlier life habits. Starting with Simone de Beauvoir’s world-famous observation that one is not born a woman but instead becomes a woman, Browning goes on to show equally that there is no fixed way of being masculine or feminine.

Former NPR science reporter Frank Browning lives in Paris. His books include The Culture of Desire, A Queer Geography, Apples: The Story of the Fruit of Temptation and The Monk & the Skeptic. He writes on art and culture for the Huffington Post and has contributed to the Washington Post Magazine, Mother Jones, Playboy, Salon and other publications.

The Man Who Knew The Life and Times of Alan Greenspan

Sebastian Mallaby The definitive biography of the most important economic statesman of our time

B

ased on unfettered access to Alan Greenspan, his papers and his closest professional and personal intimates, this biography illuminates that mysterious point at which US government and economy meet. From his controversial relationship with Nixon to his eighteen years as chairman of the Fed, Greenspan amassed power that rivalled that of presidents; and in the meantime he presided over the transformation of finance from the fixed and regulated system of the post-war era to the free-wheeling free-for-all of today. A rags-to-riches odyssey, a window on American statecraft, Alan Greenspan’s story is simultaneously the story of the making of modern finance.

Sebastian Mallaby is the Paul Volcker Senior Fellow in International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former columnist for the Financial Times and the Washington Post. He spent thirteen years on the Economist, and is the author of three previous books, including More Money Than God, a New York Times bestseller.

Churchill and the Bomb in War and Cold War Kevin Ruane Charts Churchill’s evolving views on nuclear weapons, starting with the atomic bomb’s development and continuing into the Cold War

eading historian Kevin Ruane explores a still neglected aspect of Winston Churchill’s career – his relationship with and thinking on nuclear weapons. He shows how Churchill went from regarding the bomb as a weapon of war against Nazi Germany to viewing it as a weapon of communist containment in the early Cold War, and then advocating and pioneering ‘mutually assured destruction’ as the key to preventing the Cold War from becoming a calamitous nuclear war.

Ruane’s extensive primary research in Britain, the United States and Europe adds extra insight to this provocative account of Churchill’s nuclear hopes and fears.

Kevin Ruane is Professor of Modern History at Canterbury Christ Church University.

hurchill’s Legacy describes how Churchill wielded his influence in post-war politics to ensure the restoration of Europe through two key speeches.

In Fulton Missouri, Churchill alerted America to the reality of ‘Uncle Joe’ – a tyrant determined to dominate Europe at any cost. Churchill called for an AngloAmerican alliance based on their shared values and the deterrent of the atomic bomb. In Zurich, Churchill boldly proposed a partnership between France and Germany: a United States of Europe. Churchill was the catalyst of a new era built on effective defence, economic revival and European unity. His speeches have been awarded UNESCO heritage status.

Lord Alan Watson is an award-winning BBC broadcaster and Chairman of CTN Communications. He is a Patron of the Churchill Archives at Churchill College.

A former President of the Liberal Party, Lord Watson played a leading role in the merger between the British Liberal Party and the Social Democrats. He was raised to the peerage in 1999.

Disparity Slavoj Žižek Tackles the philosophical issue of what ‘negativity’ might really mean – dismissing many popular ideas from other philosophers

T

he concept of negativity has long been a topic of obsession and argument for philosophers as they explore what it could mean, might mean and should mean for us and our lives. Slavoj Žižek now establishes a definite departure from previous ideas in his account of what negativity means. He employs a new kind of negativity, positing that when a philosopher deals with another philosopher, his or her stance is never one of dialogue, but one of division – of drawing a line that separates truth from falsity.

he Ryder Cup is one of sport’s greatest events, capturing an enormous global audience as the USA goes up against the Europeans. Yet when it comes to its captaincy, few roles in world sport balance such an enormous media and public profile with a deep, underlying scepticism about its value. Win the Cup and you are lauded as an international leadership guru; lose and you are written off by the media and the corporate world. But is it all just smoke and mirrors? The Captain Myth explores what’s really involved in winning golf ’s most gripping and highprofile tournament.

Nicholas Ind & Oriol Iglesias Brand Desire explains how companies can use specific strategies and tools to develop and maintain brand desire among its customers

D

esire is big business. If companies can create true desirability for their brand, loyal customers will act as brand champions, participate in online communities, co-create innovative ideas and show a commitment that is normally associated with fervent employees.

he Growth Director’s Secret explains how the majority of purchasing decisions are reflexive, and how becoming the dominant ‘auto-pilot’ brand can be the key to long-term sustainable growth. Drawing on both the latest neurological research and illustrative case studies, the book reveals universal misunderstandings about consumer motivations, shopping behaviour and brand choice, and presents new and original ideas on how to position a business for growth. Topics include: identifying and targeting the crucial ‘market-making customers’, refocusing spending towards ‘marketing at open minds’ and using the ‘reflex loyalty’ metric to measure a brand’s auto-pilot and growth potential.

Andrew Brent is a CMO with significant experience in a range of companies, including Barclays, Sky Broadcasting, Boots and Burger King.

Inglorious Conflict in the Uplands

Mark Avery A hard-hitting, passionate and well-researched book on the conflict between driven grouse-shooting and nature conservation in Britain today

D

riven grouse shooting, where flocks of red grouse are chased so they fly over lines of ‘guns’ that shoot the fast-flying birds, is a peculiarly British fieldsport.

This multi-million-pound business dominates the hills of northern Britain, and, backed by powerful lobbying groups, its tendrils run throughout society. Inglorious details Mark Avery’s mission to end this sport, which sees illegal killing of wildlife such as hen harriers, and wrecks the hill-country ecology. But it is economically important, and a British tradition. Ever-controversial, Avery presents the argument from both sides in a book that all British conservationists will want to read.

Mark Avery is a highly respected blogger, public speaker and writer on UK nature conservation and environmental issues, and was formerly the Conservation Director of the RSPB. A scientist by training, and a conservationist most of his life, Mark’s previous book for Bloomsbury was A Message from Martha, the story of the extinction of the passenger pigeon.

Coventry Thursday, 14 November 1940

Frederick Taylor The definitive account of the German bombing of Coventry – a companion volume to the author’s acclaimed Dresden

O

n the night of 14/15 November 1940, the Luftwaffe launched a massive bombing raid against Coventry, one of the most devastating to hit Britain during the entire war. It was a turning point, representing a new kind of air warfare, one which sacrificed immediate military goals and instead focused on attacking all aspects of city life: a ‘blueprint for obliteration’.

Churchill’s government exploited the raid to tip American opinion in favour of Britain. Frederick Taylor tells the story of this terrible, extraordinary moment and its consequences, and looks at whether the fate of Coventry really could provide justification for the horror of Dresden, 1945.

Frederick Taylor read History and Modern Languages at Oxford and did postgraduate work at Sussex University. He edited and translated The Goebbels Diaries 1939–41 and is the author of four acclaimed books of narrative history: Dresden, The Berlin Wall, Exorcising Hitler and, most recently, The Downfall of Money.

Ranging from the Scottish Highlands to Istanbul and from Morocco to Ohio, Will Self ’s engaging and disturbing vision is perfectly counter-pointed by Ralph Steadman’s edgy and beautiful artwork.

Will Self is the author of many books including The Quantity Theory of Insanity, Great Apes, Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys, Dorian, How the Dead Live, The Book of Dave, The Butt and Umbrella, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2012. He lives in London. Ralph Steadman was born in 1936. He began his career as a cartoonist, and through the years has diversified into many creative fields. Ralph collaborated with Dr Hunter S. Thompson in the birth of ‘gonzo’ journalism and has since illustrated classics and his own books.

A is for Arsenic The Poisons of Agatha Christie

Kathryn Harkup

A

gatha Christie used poison to kill her characters more often than any other murder method, with the poison itself being a central part of the novel, while Christie’s choice of deadly substances was far from random; the chemical and physiological characteristics of each provide vital clues to identity of the murderer.

Celebrating Christie’s 125th anniversary, A is for Arsenic celebrates the use of science in Christie’s work. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both when the novel was written and today.

n 1981, Margaret Thatcher faced the greatest challenge of her premiership. The ‘no hope’ budget delivered by Chancellor Geoffrey Howe in March marked the beginning of a six-month period which saw pressures in Northern Ireland, hunger strikes, urban riots and unprecedented unrest within the Conservative Party.

Eminent historian Kwasi Kwarteng here captures her unique leadership qualities, from the pulpit style and the Old Testament imagery to the emphasis on personal moral responsibility, in some of the most adverse conditions facing any statesman in modern peacetime. It is a brilliant study of one of the historic leaders of our time.

Kwasi Kwarteng was born in London to Ghanaian parents. He has a PhD in History from Cambridge University and is the Member of Parliament for Spelthorne in Surrey. He is the author of Ghosts of Empire and War and Gold. This is his third book. @KwasiKwarteng

M Train Patti Smith From the bestselling author of Just Kids, an unforgettable odyssey into the writer’s obsessive mind and the journey she takes in search of consolation and inspiration

I

n a Greenwich Village café Patti Smith takes up residence, writing, drinking coffee, ruminating on the world as it is and the world as it was. In homage to the writers she treasures, she travels to the graves of Genet, Rimbaud and Mishima. Itinerant photographer, she documents her travels with exquisite Polaroids of artists’ totems: Bolano’s chair, Kahlo’s crutches, Virginia Woolf ’s walking stick. Woven throughout are conversations on the writer’s craft with an astral cowpoke and memories of a distant life in Michigan with her husband. A meditation on loss, a call to life, M Train is a poetic tour de force.

Patti Smith’s memoir Just Kids was a No. 1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller and awarded the National Book Award for non-fiction in 2010. She is the recipient of the Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Polar Music Prize. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 and received ASCAP’s Founders Award for a Lifetime Achievement in 2010.

hen he had finished writing Casino Royale, the first in the James Bond series, Ian Fleming treated himself to a gold-plated typewriter. It was on this glittering machine that he typed not only his bestselling novels, but also his letters. Readers immediately engaged with Secret Agent 007 and wrote to Fleming with all sorts of quibbles, corrections and opinions; Fleming’s replies were considered and often charming, full of wry remarks and original turns of phrase. This entertaining correspondence relating to the Bond novels shows a fascinating and little-known side of Ian Fleming and sheds light on the development of his legendary creation, and on the era in which Bond first operated.

Fergus Fleming is Ian Fleming’s nephew. He is also the author of several nonfiction books, including Barrow’s Boys, Killing Dragons and Ninety Degrees North.

Suspicious Minds Why We Believe Conspiracy Theories

Rob Brotherton

E

veryone loves a good conspiracy. Yet conspiracy theories are not a recent invention. And they are not always a harmless curiosity. In Suspicious Minds, Rob Brotherton explores the history and consequences of conspiracism, and delves into the research that offers insights into why so many of us are drawn to implausible, unproven and unprovable conspiracy theories. They resonate with some of our brain’s built-in quirks, and tap into some of our deepest desires, fears and assumptions about the world.

NOVEMBER 2016

Of course, just because your brain’s biased doesn’t always mean you’re wrong.

Sometimes conspiracies are real. Sometimes, paranoia is prudent.
