Co o k e r y Dabbous Ollie Dabbous

416pp 255x340mm Hardback

Occupying an edgy urban space in London’s Fitzrovia, Dabbous is the restaurant that has stunned critics and diners since it opened in 2012. Chef Ollie Dabbous creates light, modern dishes that are both sophisticated and deceptively delicate; jewel-like creations that are in stark contrast with the restaurant’s industrial décor. Structured seasonally, recipes include 'Mixed alliums in a chilled pine infusion' and 'Braised halibut with pink purslane and celery', 'Mash and gravy' and 'Elderflower sherbet’. Without doubt the most desirable cookery book of the year, Dabbous is closely aligned with the ethos of the restaurant: stripped-down and pure, with exquisite photographs by Joakim Blockstrom.

Ollie Dabbous knew he wanted to be a chef from the age of six, and started cooking in restaurants when he was 15. He worked at Kensington Place for Rowley Leigh and for Guy Savoy in Paris. He spent time with René Redzepi at Noma and with Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck, but it was his years spent working with Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons that most profoundly influenced his cooking. He went on to be head chef at the Scandinavian-influenced Texture on Portman Street. In January 2012 he opened Dabbous to rapturous reviews, and it has already been awarded a Michelin star. @DabbousLondon / dabbous.co.uk

Le Manoir Raymond Blanc

448pp 340 x 260mm Hardback

Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is one of the finest hotel-restaurants in the world. This is a chance to step within the walls for Raymond’s personal tour, season by season. He reveals how every element of the place – from the Japanese garden to the Citronelle bedroom – was brought to life, and leads you into the kitchen to show you the culinary secrets of this double Michelin-starred restaurant. The book features 120 of Le Manoir’s most celebrated dishes, including ricotta agnolotti, venison grand veneur, blood orange carpaccio, and apple tart Maman Blanc. With spectacular photography and glorious illustrations, this book will allow you to bring Le Manoir into your own home.

Totally self-taught, Raymond Blanc is one of Britain’s best-respected chefs. His hotel-restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxford has been awarded two Michelin stars for the past 26 years and in 2007 he was awarded an OBE for services to culinary excellence. He is the bestselling author of several books, including Kitchen Secrets. @raymond_blanc / www.manoir.com

POLPO A Venetian Cookbook (Of Sorts) Russell Norman

320pp 265 x 180mm Hardback Colour Photographs

Hidden away in London's edgy Soho district, POLPO is one of the most irrepressibly buzzing restaurants in town. In this understated bacaro, Russell Norman serves up dishes from the back streets of Venice that are unfussy, innovative and delicious. It's cooking that is surprisingly easy – a case of assembling a few ingredients into something utterly delicious – and the book's 120 recipes include baby pizzas with courgettes, mint and chilli; linguine with clams; and little tiramisu pots. This is a beautiful book with luminescent photography by Jenny Zarins, who captures the unfrequented corners, the bustling bacari and the unforgettable, sublime waterways of Venice.

Russell Norman spent four years running some of London's most venerated restaurants in the Caprice Holdings group, before turning his back on the high life, getting a tattoo of an octopus on his back and setting up his own place in scruffy Soho. Fusing the energy of New York with the cuisine of Venice, it was an instant hit. POLPO has been followed in quick succession by Polpetto, da Polpo, Spuntino and Mishkin's. Russell Norman lives in London. @PolpoSoho

432pp 272 x 232mm Hardback

Taking thirty great forgotten British dishes, Heston creates his own culinary history of Britain. He tells the story of each one – originating from such sources as The Forme of Cury (1390), The Queen-like Closet (1672) and The Ice Book (1844). Then, starting from the original recipe text, he creates a sublime twenty-first-century take on delicacies that include meat fruit (1500), quaking pudding (1660) and mock-turtle soup (1892). With signature dishes from Dinner and The Fat Duck, the most extraordinary photography, and illustrations from the genius that is Dave McKean, Historic Heston is a book to treasure.

Entirely self-taught, Heston Blumenthal is the most progressive chef of his generation. In 2004 he won the coveted three Michelin stars in near-record time for his restaurant The Fat Duck. It has repeatedly been voted into the top ten of the World's Best Restaurants by an international panel of 800 experts, as has his second restaurant Dinner. In 2006 he was awarded an OBE.

Until now, home cooking has remained stubbornly out of touch with technological development, but Heston Blumenthal, champion of the scientific kitchen, sets out to change all that with this radical book.

Among the 150 specially created dishes are recipes like irrefutably perfect fish and chips, as well as a few more unconventional ones such as salmon with liquorice, or lardy cake with whisky ice cream.

Heston at Home will change the way you think about cooking forever – prepare for a culinary revolution!

416pp 246 x 189mm Hardback

How often have you wished there was a magic formula to simplify cooking? Well, there is. While cooking, Hugh has noticed time and time again that three primary ingredients will often, when combined, set each other off and somehow make each ingredient taste more of itself. He has used this rule of three to create over 250 recipes, both well-loved classics and brand new ideas, based on trios like avocado, lime and chilli; beef, shallots and tomato; and cherries, chocolate and cream. With sumptuous photography from Simon Wheeler, this book will unlock a whole new world of fantastic food. Three Good Things. It really is that simple.

Running is a fantastic cardiovascular workout that floods the body with 'feel good' endorphins and many runners find its rhythmic, repetitive nature a natural stress reliever and maybe even meditative. The downside of repetitive motion, however, is that it taxes a few select groups of muscles and neglects the remainder. This leads to muscular imbalances and, eventually, injury. Yoga for Runners addresses these imbalances by using yoga postures to both stretch and lengthen these short, tight running hotspots in a way that is time-efficient and highly targeted.

Lexie Williamson is a British Wheel of Yoga (2008 and Yoga Sports Science (2010) qualified instructor specialising in yoga for runners and cyclists.

In Swim Better, Swim Faster he focuses on the seven simple things he has found that enable people to become better swimmers. These are: streamlining to reduce resistance in the water, when and how to breathe, the ideal body position, improving your flexibility, the correct position for arms and hands when taking a stroke, how to kick, and pulling it all together to develop a smooth, fast stroke.

Paul Mason has published more than 100 titles. He works with swimmers to improve their technique, usually on a one-to-one basis. As a teenager he was national swimming champion, and competed in the European championships and other international competitions.

Climbing on artificial walls was first introduced nearly 40 years ago and there are now indoor climbing walls and specialised indoor centres in most major UK cities while keen climbers can construct their own walls in their gardens or garages.

Climbing using artificial walls is a safe and controlled way for beginners to learn the techniques they need for climbing outdoors and a means for experienced outdoor climbers to train effectively away from outdoor sites or when conditions are dangerous. In this comprehensive guide, John White introduces the reader to a range of exercises and techniques that will improve both indoor and outdoor climbing skills.

A d l a r d Co l e s Nau t i ca l : G e n e r a l Bailey Boat Cat Louise Kennedy

96pp 195 x 195mm Hardback £6.99 April 2014 World rights available

50 Most Exciting Places to Sail

Bailey is a boat cat. He loves nothing more than gazing wistfully out of portholes, lounging on the sun deck wearing his cat lifejacket, climbing the mast and generally fulfilling his important boat-cat duties – and blogging about them at baileyboatcat.com. This book captures Bailey’s charm with lovable photos and pearls of 'whisker wisdom' from a cat’s eye view. Chatty, inquisitive and boasting an undeniable cute factor, Bailey explains (for the benefit of us slow-witted humans) the five steps of marine navigation, the importance of cubby holes, and just why cats are so much cleverer than dogs…

Louise Kennedy began the Bailey Boat Cat blog in 2012, which continues to amass followers and fans on a weekly basis. She splits her time between a flat in Nice and her boat Nocturne, on which she, her partner and of course Bailey are planning to go full-time cruising from 2014.

So you’ve done the usual round of sailing holidays – and now you’re ready for some real excitement. How about blasting across Sydney Harbour at 16 knots in an 18-foot Skiff? Or watching phosphorescence in your wake while sailing across the Pacific? Or balancing on the end of a 12ft outrigger off the coast of East Africa?

Or skimming across Santa Barbara Harbour under asymmetric spinnaker in an Open 5.7? Visually spectacular and compelling to read, this exhilarating book is the ultimate dreamer’s guide to sailing on adrenalin.

This magnificent collection, looks at a variety of maps, from those found in 14th century manuscripts, through early estate maps, to sea charts, maps used in military campaigns, and maps from treaties.

The National Archives is the official archive and publisher for the UK government, and for England and Wales. They are the guardians of some of the UK's most iconic national documents, dating back over 1,000 years including the Magna Carta, records of wartime propaganda and the UK's own 'X files' on the possibility of alien invasions.

For anyone with a tiny galley kitchen and an appetite for fresh, gorgeous food, there's good news: no more tins or bland leftovers aboard. All using no more than two pots and taking no longer than 30 minutes, recipes include baked eggs with salmon, chorizo and chestnut sausage rolls, spicy lamb burgers with tzatziki, herbstuffed trout, salted caramel and banana crunch and an amazing rum punch. With contributions from top chefs including Chris Galvin and Angela Hartnett, as well as such seasoned sailors as Sir Robin Knox- Johnston and Dee Caffari, this book promises simple, fresh ideas to revolutionise your on-board cooking.

Fiona Sims has written on food for The Times, The Guardian, The Observer, Delicious, House & Garden, Decanter and Square Meal.

Why did the Titanic only carry 20 liferafts, out of a possible 48? Why were only three of her four funnels operational? Was there really a priceless copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam on board? Did she really go down because the ‘wrong sort of rivets’ were used to build her? Why was the silver flask belonging to American socialite Helen Candee discovered in a dead man’s coat? These and many other questions are answered in this intriguing book, which will appeal as much to the general reader as committed Titanoraks.

How do you choose a good crew? How do you ensure they get along when they’re stuck together in a small space for hours, days or even weeks on end? Whereas previous books have focused on racing, this book examines the psychology of cruising and provides practical tips on how to get the most out of your trip. Using personal accounts, tables and diagrams, it highlights the challenges faced by both skipper and crew, and shows how planning and preparation can generate a positive atmosphere for a successful cruise, where success is measured not by boat speed but by crew satisfaction.

How to Snog a Hagfish!

Disgusting Things in the Sea Jonathan Eyers

When yachting journalist Dick Durham wrote Mike Peyton's biography, he called him 'the world's greatest yachting cartoonist'. From his first cartoon (drawn in a German PoW camp in 1942) to his much-loved illustrations for Yachting Monthly's Confessional column, Mike Peyton has been making people laugh for 70 years. Now that failing eyesight has forced him to put the cap back on his pen permanently, this is a hilarious retrospective celebration of the best of his cartoons from eight decades. Witty, wise and well-executed, Mike's cartoons will speak to anyone who has ever taken to the water.

Mike Peyton is Britain's best loved nautical cartoonist – and a sailor himself. For years he has made his mark, contributing witty and poignantly funny cartoons to the yachting and boating press all over the world, poking fun at seafarers of all types also available and capturing in his distinctive cartoon style their often eccentric and idiosyncratic ways.

How to Snog a Hagfish! explores the most bizarre, the most disgusting and the most fascinating creatures that inhabit the oceans, from the hagfish that exudes mucus by the bucketful to the starfish that regurgitates its own stomach to digest food, and the pearlfish that hides from predators inside a sea cucumber's bowels. Illustrated, and with stories and anecdotes that help bring a human perspective, this book demystifies the natural world beneath the waves, and shows how it's not quite so shocking when you understand why these creatures have developed the way they have.

Jonathan Eyers has been fascinated by sea life since he saw Jaws at far too young an age.

Unfortunately, whilst writing this book he discovered his tolerance for disgusting things is probably higher than most people's.

Final Voyage The world's worst maritime disasters Jonathan Eyers

192pp 198 x 129mm Paperback

Everyone knows the story of the Titanic, but in terms of loss of life that catastrophe doesn't even figure as one of the 50 worst maritime disasters of the last three centuries. Many of these disasters have been almost forgotten, including the loss of the Wilhelm Gustloff, the deadliest maritime disaster in history, in which 10,000 people perished. These are stories of people - whether they lived or died - as well as the ships themselves. They tell of tragedy, war, heroism and cowardice, greed and sacrifice. Only for the lucky few were they also stories of rescue and survival.

Jonathan Eyers is the author of Don't Shoot the Albatross: Nautical Myths and Superstitions and How to Snog a Hagfish: Disgusting Things in the Sea, both published

by Adlard Coles Nautical.

Team Spirit Life and leadership on one of the world's toughest yacht races Brendan Hall

256pp 198 x 129mm Paperback A colour plate section

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the ultimate long distance challenge – a 35,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, contested by amateur crews in identical racing yachts. Taking part in it requires incredible teamwork, leadership, skill, courage and focus. Winning it is a whole different game. Team Spirit is the compelling story of a race on the edge, a young skipper's crash-course in leadership under gruelling pressure, and a determined journey to triumph against the odds.

Brendan Hall began sailing at the age of four in his home waters off Brisbane, and was racing by the age of 19. He was 27 years old when the 2009/2010 Clipper Race began, and had to transform a motley crew of 18 amateur sailors into a racewinning sailing machine, as well as battling life-threatening weather conditions, gear failure and rescuing two other yachts in the dangerous North Pacific Ocean.

He is currently cruising and racing in the Caribbean.

n at u r a l h i s to r y Metamorphosis

224pp 280 x 215mm Hardback £25.00 June 2015

Why does something as beautiful as a butterfly start life as little more than a fancy maggot? Or the delicate lacewing hatch out looking like an escapee from a horror movie? Why do some animals transform from one body shape into another, a shape so different from the first that they appear to be completely unrelated organisms? This unique project illustrates some of the dramatic transformations insects undergo in their life cycles – from egg, to larva, to pupa and fully formed adult, and explores why evolution has arrived at these remarkable solutions to survival.

Rupert Soskin is a something of a Renaissance man. He is a photographer, writer, presenter, naturalist and explorer. Most recently, he has been involved a long term project exploring the extraordinary biodiversity of a field close to where he lives which has allowed him to explore his passion for photographing insects and entomology.

Throughout the bird world, examples of strange and seemingly inexplicable behaviours abound: the wooing of female Fairywrens by males that are not their mates, the 'kidnap' of fledglings by gangs of White-winged Choughs, the apparent 'divorce' of long-term Albatross couples? This new book takes a series of extraordinary stories from each continent to illustrate a great diversity of bird behaviour from throughout the world. Each one of the stories examines the truths and the mythology to shed light on why birds do the things they do. An intriguing book from an author with an author with a unique ability to engage with his audience.

In Search of Lost Frogs is a story of perseverance, disappointment, rediscovery, resilience, but ultimately of hope, written with passion and illustrated with the author's superb photographs.

Robin Moore is an award winning conservation photographer whose pictures regularly appear on the pages of National Geographic among other publications.

In his capacity of Director of the Amphibian Program at Conservation International and photographer with the International League of Conservation Photographers, he coordinated the search teams in the Campaign for Lost Frogs and the dissemination of findings, as well as leading two of the searches.

Lost Animals Extinction and the Photographic Record Errol Fuller

256pp 246 x 189mm

Each spring and autumn hundreds of millions of birds migrate. In a few places, a combination of geography, topography and climate combine to funnel migrant birds into migration hotspots where, for a few days each year, birds are everywhere – one of nature's greatest wildlife spectacles. Migration Hotspots looks at 30 locations where the most dramatic bird migration can be seen, from raptor bottlenecks like Veracruz and the Strait of Messina, to Point Pelee and Beidaihe where spectacular falls of songbirds take place.

Supported by breathtaking photography, the importance of each hotspot is explained, detailing all the birds that pass through and the best times of year to see them.

Tim Harris has been fascinated by bird migration since as a young boy he witnessed Swallows flying in off the sea at Selsey Bill, while terns streamed past and recently arrived warblers sang from scrub. He has since been birding in more than 40 countries and has been inspired over and over again by the sights and sounds of migration on all the world's major migration flyways.

Award-winning wildlife photographer Mark Sisson has spent several years photographing Puffins in a range of different places and situations. This new book combines images that beautifully encapsulate the birds' immense charm and visual appeal with an accessible text by leading wildlife writer Dominic Couzens.

The text and photographs cover the birds' life cycle, behaviour, habitats and the current and future challenges that they face, along with many surprising facts and anecdotes.

Shropshire-based photographer Mark Sisson's photographic work is regularly published in an array of books and journals including BBC Wildlife, Birds and The Countryman. Dominic Couzens is the author of many books on birds and other aspects of natural history including RSPB The Secret Lives of British Birds, RSPB The Secret Lives of Garden Birds and RSPB The Secret Lives of Garden Wildlife, all published

by Christopher Helm.

In this important book, 100 conservation groups around the world give their answer to the question: 'if you could pick one species that epitomises your work, which would it be?' From the RSPB to WWF to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, their answers provide a synopsis of the threats faced by their selection, an outline of the work being done to save them, and the ways that the reader can help. With beautiful full-page photographs of each of the 100 species, this is a book that will fascinate and inspire and hopefully help to preserve the future of the species included.

Entries supplied by 100 conservation organisations. Contributors include: OceanCare, EarthWatch Institute, RSPB, WWF, Friends of Conservation, The Wildlife Trusts, The Woodland Trust, Charles Darwin Foundation, BTO, World Owl Trust, Orangutan Foundation, BirdLife International, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Shark Trust, International Crane Foundation and many more

The photographic record of extinction is the focus of this remarkable book, written by the world's leading authority on vanished animals, Errol Fuller. Lost Animals features photographs dating from around 1870 to as recently as 2004, the year that saw the demise of the Hawaiian Po'ouli.

Since 1987, when he published the first edition of his seminal Extinct Birds, Errol Fuller has been the world's number one authority on extinct birds. An author and artist, Fuller's many titles include a breathtaking monograph on The Great Auk (2000) and Dodo – From Extinction To Icon (2002).
