Essay competition judge Anne Barngrover says “I was struck from the first sentence by the crystalline narrative voice—sometimes uncanny, sometimes weird, but always precise, unflinching, and painfully self-aware—and the experimentation with form as a way to dig deeper and question ideas of religion, family, place, community, masculinity, death, and the self. These essays, and their narrator, wouldn’t shake from me after I read them. I wholeheartedly recommend Baptizing the Dead and Other Jobs.” Michael William Palmer lives in Forest Park, IL. His work has appeared in Bellingham Review, CutBank, Georgetown Review, The Collagist, and other journals. This is his first book. 3

IRON ROADS OF THE MONADNOCK REGION. VOLUME I Railroads of Southwestern New Hampshire and North-Central Massachusetts Bradford G. Blodget and Richard R. Richards Jr. Today, the sounds of steam whistles and trains are no longer heard among the mountains and valleys in most of Cheshire County, New Hampshire, though to the west and south in the Connecticut Valley and in north-central Massachusetts, steel rails are still very much alive. The two volumes of Iron Roads of the Monadnock Region bring to life the story of now largely forgotten railroads that once operated in the area, shining new light on the roads’ stories from their beginnings to the present, tracing high and low points, glory days, times of struggles, disasters, and wrecks. This little-known history of the railroads is loaded with hard-to-find historical information, indexed, and copiously illustrated and enriched by rare and previously unpublished photos.

SCOTTISH QUEENS, 1034–1714
THE KING OVER THE WATER
Rosalind Marshall and Rosalind K. Marshall
The Jacobite Cause 1689-1807 Desmond Seward
The lives of the Scottish queens, both those who ruled in their own right, and also the consorts, have largely been neglected in conventional history books.
July 2019 | Paperback | $14.95 | 978-1-78027-597-0 | 256 pages | 5 x 7.8 | NCR
One of the earliest known Scottish queens was none other than the notorious Lady MacBeth. Was she really the wicked woman depicted in Shakespeare’s famous play? Was St Margaret a demure and obedient wife? Why did Margaret Logie exercise such an influence over her husband, David II, and have we underestimated James VI’s consort, Anne of Denmark?
Dr Rosalind K. Marshall is the author of numerous books and articles, including biographies of Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I, Henrietta Maria and Bonnie Prince Charlie. 8
This book with over 100 images and countless stories, brings to life the fascinating communities and the characters along the route in whose footsteps modern pilgrims are treading. Starting with Celtic saints from Culross and North Queensferry, marching with miners through the West Fife coalfields, continuing on with Covenanters and Communists and ending among the martyrs, relics and ghosts of the haunted city of St Andrews, drews, this gripping narrative presents a journey through Scottish history, ancient and modern.

Spanning more than a century and involving almost every European country at one time or another (as well as America), the Jacobite cause is one of the epic stories of history. They may have failed in their aim to restore the house of Stuart to the British throne, but in that failure the Jacobites changed the course of history. Intrigue, espionage, corruption and betrayal, as well as constancy to the cause in the face of terrible risks are all ingredients of this extraordinary tale. Here then is a colorful cast of characters— from the brilliant, mercurial Viscount Bolingbroke and the stiff, impossible Lord George Murray to the the half-mad Charles XII of Sweden.

Scotland’s history has been told many times, but never exclusively by its women. This book takes a unique perspective on dramatic national events as well as ordinary life, as experienced by women down the centuries. From the saintly but severe medieval Queen Margaret to today’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon, it encompasses women from all stations of class and fame and notoriety, offering a tantalising view of what happened to them, and how they felt. Drawing on court and kirk records, exchequer rolls and treasurer’s accounts, diaries and memoirs, chap books and newspapers, government reports and eye-witness statements, Scotland: Her Story brings to life the half of history that has for too long been hidden or ignored. Features material by from a hugely diverse range of authors, including: The Maid of Norway • Princess Matilda • St Margaret • Margaret Tudor • Mary, Queen of Scots • Lady Grizel Baillie • Elsie Inglis • Mary Slessor • Catherine Dickens • Jane Carlyle • Lesley Riddoch • Catherine Carswell • Marie Stopes • Nan Shepherd • Leila Aboulela • Sue Black • Mary Contini • Rona Cameron • Elaine C.

Reporting the News from the North David Ross and Harry Reid
One Man’s Battle Against Rogue Cops Russell Findlay
Ross reflects on the important issues which affected the Highlands and Islands during his time. He tells how his late father-in-law, the Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean, helped him. He had never written in depth about Sorley when he was alive, as it would have been “excruciatingly embarrassing for both of us,” but does so now.
When Bill Johnstone’s business was destroyed as a result of an arson attack in 2009, like any law-abiding citizen he informed the police. But rather than jolting the police into action, they turned on him. A rogue policeman applied a serious criminal record to his name. These keyboard strokes kicked off a high stakes game for Finlay to clear his name.
David Ross specialises in maritime and railway history and has written and contributed to numerous books on these subjects.

SHREDDED
BANDIT CAPITALISM
Inside RBS, The Bank That Broke Britain Ian Fraser
Carillion and the British Oligarchs Bob Wylie
The Royal Bank of Scotland was once one of the most successful and profitable financial institutions in the world. Financial journalist Ian Fraser reveals how the ‘light touch, limited touch’ approach to financial regulation of New Labour and the aggressive, confrontational, autocratic and reckless style of Fred Goodwin led to disaster, not just for RBS, but for everyone in the UK.
On one level, this is a familiar story of directors who systematically looted a company with the aim of their own enrichment. But in a wider context the Carillion catastrophe exposes everything that is wrong about the state of Britain now. Bob Wylie exposes the lawlessness of contemporary capitalism and gives a warning for the future that must be heeded.

As well as describing some the last wild places in Scotland in the heart of winter the narrative explores themes of grief, chance, mental illness and ecological damage. The author’s companion is struggling throughout with the effects of severe mental illness but sees in the walk the hope of some relief from this suffering. The walkers are asking a question: whether the hills can heal at a human level and whether the hills can themselves be healed.

The Shepherd and the Morning Star is a remarkable double biography and autobiography. In the course of it the life of the son, Willie Orr, gradually emerges from under the shadow of that of his father, Lawrence Orr (PB), leading Ulster Unionist politician, This book is a deeply absorbing and powerful piece of writing, a record of mood and emotional development as much as a detailed chronology. Very funny in parts and with a poet’s sensitivity in others, it explores that precarious territory between the public and private lives of politicians. It ends with a glimpse of redemption and healing, a coming to terms with the ghosts of the past.

Our biblically allotted lifespan is “three score year and ten, or eighty if we are strong.” Even today, this is probably about right for many. The decade between 70 and 80 is an important opportunity to reflect on the meaning of life. The author, a Roman Catholic priest in his 70s, illustrates the freedom that comes from his lifelong experience of obedience, poverty and celibacy. He argues that we are all more obedient, poor and celibate than we usually care to admit.
Willy Slavin has spent his life championing the cause of the poor. Working as a priest for 50 years in the most deprived areas of Glasgow and Bangladesh and in hospitals and prisons, he is also known for his role in the late-2017 installation of the Homeless Jesus sculpture on a park bench in Glasgow. He has given up all his worldly possessions and has moved to a hut in a wood in the Falkland estate in Fife. 11

BEST OF SCOTLAND
Carol Foreman
John Macleod
Of the wide range and diversity of British products that are now household names, both at home and abroad, the Scots can take pride in the fact that many of them began in Scotland. When people first spread Robertson’s Golden Shred Marmalade on their toast, it was by courtesy of a Paisley man, James Robertson. This new edition features the stories behind a wide number of the bestknown household names that originated in Scotland.
In this imaginative, informative and amusing miscellany, award-winning journalist John MacLeod explores some of the well-known symbols of Scottish culture (as well some of the quirkier ones) and looks beneath the surface to shatter some long-held assumptions that will surprise even the most well-informed Scotophile. From bagpipes, haggis, and the Forth Rail Bridge, this book is a fascinating celebration of S cotland that will appeal to visitors and locals alike.

BLACK CAMP 21
The John Martyn Story John Neil Munro and Ian Rankin
All over Britain, POW camps were filling up with defeated German soldiers. Every day, thousands more poured in on ships from France. But only the most dangerous were sent to Camp 21—“black’ prisoners”—SS diehards who swore death before surrender. Nothing would stop their war, other than a bullet.
Described by Empire Magazine as ‘Britain’s best ever blues singer’, John Martyn was one of rock music’s last real mavericks. Despite chronic addiction to alcohol and drugs, he produced a string of matchless albums. Loved by fans and critics, loathed by ex-wives and managers, he survived the music business he despised for forty years. This book documents his upbringing in Glasgow and rise through the Scottish and London folk scenes of the 1960s, his many career highs and lows, and his friendships with the great lost souls of British rock music, Nick Drake and Paul Koshoff.

BREXIT: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS NOW? Ian Dunt Britain’s departure from the European Union is riddled with myth and misinformation—yet the risks are very real. Brexit could diminish the UK’s power, throw its legal system into turmoil, and lower the standard of living of 65 million citizens. In this revised edition of his best-selling paperback, Ian Dunt explains why leaving the world’s largest trading bloc will leave Britain poorer and key industries like finance and pharma struggling to operate. It could even lead to the break up of the UK. Based on extensive interviews with trade and legal experts, Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? is a searching exploration of Brexit shorn of the wishful thinking of its supporters in the British media and Parliament.

The Canadian power trio Rush has been called the world’s biggest cult band. Though critical favor eluded them for many years, the band has gained the admiration of legions of fans and sold over forty-million albums worldwide. In this unique book the reader is guided through each album, song by song, from the band’s eponymous début in 1974 right up to 2012’s Clockwork Angels.
Led Zeppelin were regarded as arguably the most influential group in popular music since The Beatles. While seen as pioneers of British heavy rock, their sound also embraced blues, psychedelia and folk music. Earlier in his career Jimmy Page had been one of the most highly sought-after session guitarists, while John Paul Jones was a versatile multi-instrumentalist and experienced arranger, and Robert Plant was one of the most individual vocalists of the era.
Every album (both live and studio) is explored in detail with rare insight into the circumstances in which the band wrote and recorded each song. Alex Body is a life-long Rush fan and musician. After first seeing the band on the Roll the Bones tour in 1992 he has seen Rush multiple times on every tour since.

Belgium is a country that boasts many Michelin-starred restaurants and it is sometimes said that Belgian food is served in the quantity of German cuisine but with the quality of French cuisine. It’s a country where home cooks—and everyone, it seems, is a great home cook—spend copious amounts of time thinking about, shopping for, preparing, discussing, and celebrating food. With its hearty influences from Germany and Holland, herbs straight out of a medieval garden, and condiments and spices from the height of Flemish culture, Here in Ruth Van Waerebeek’s wonderful compendium of 250 delicious recipes, is the best of Belgian cuisine. It is a cuisine that traditionally prizes regional and seasonal ingredients and there are dishes in this comprehensive collection using all the ingredients synonymous with the country: endives, mussels, herrings, white asparagus, Brussels sprouts, mustard, beer and chocolate. There are national dishes such as waterzooi, moules frites, hutsepot, stoemp and of course waffles. As the Belgians say, since everybody has to eat three times a day, why not make a feast of every meal?.
Ruth Van Waerebeek was a chef in two leading restaurants in Ghent before she set off travelling round the world. In the 1990s she worked in full time teaching at a school of culinary arts in New York. Since 2000 she has been the brand ambassador and the house chef of Chile’s most important winery Concha y Toro.

2019 marks the golden anniversary of the mass musical gatherings that saw the hippie generation at their 1969 zenith. Two events stand out, staged within days of each other that magical August: in the United States, there was Woodstock, and in the UK the Isle of Wight Festival of Music. Woodstock drew 400,000 fans and a quality bill that was a Who’s Who of contemporary talent—all bar the main man the organizers hoped to lure on the doorstep of his home, Bob Dylan. Instead, Dylan opted to headline at the Isle of Wight, in front of close to 200,000 adoring fans. Here Bill Bradshaw celebrates the events of that summer 50 years on… and how the Isle of Wight, off England’s southern coast, staged what was then the nation’s biggest festival—and how it pulled off such a huge coup. Bill Bradshaw is an award-winning Fleet Street journalist and editor. He was UK Sports Journalist of the Year and Britain’s Sports Reporter of the Year for his Sunday People investigation into football corruption.

Hyper-aware Denny, a young American in Dublin, hopes for a big love, the ‘girl named Ireland’. Akin to a Joycean ramble, Oh When the Saints follows a sensitive boy on the reluctant verge of manhood, who cannot help endlessly analyzing his own—and others’—place in the stream of life. His heart is ‘a sack of air’ until he meets a trainee librarian with ambitions to be wild. This is a strange, elliptical novel of ideas, told in punchy, poetic prose; Peter Money’s is a vivid, fresh and welcome voice.

LES ENLUMINURES Four Remarkable Manuscripts from the Middle Ages Christopher de Hamel This beautiful catalog explores four books that are remarkable survivals of what people read in the Middle Ages – the finest of medieval Bibles (the greatest text of Western civilization), one of the oldest Books of Hours (the most famous medieval manuscripts of all), Biography (the unique legend of an Anglo-Saxon princess), and the History of Troy (the oldest chivalric story in European history.) These are all manuscripts unknown on the market for at least eighty years. One of the four was last described in print in 1588; the others were last cataloged for sale in 1909, 1932 and 1938 respectively. All are richly illustrated, with a total of 133 miniatures between them, as well as hundreds of borders and illuminated animals and grotesques. Some of the finest artists of the period were responsible for the miniatures, and at least two of them likely issue directly from the greatest of European courts.

REMBRANDT’S MARK Stephanie Buck and Jürgen Müller
August 2019 | Paperback | $50.00 | 978-1-91130-062-5 | 280 pages | 9 x 12
2019 marks the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt’s death (1606–1669). The Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett, which possesses one of the most important collections of Rembrandt’s drawings and prints in the world, is taking the occasion to celebrate Rembrandt as artist, printmaker and draughtsman. The exhibition and catalog cast a fresh light on this innovative ‘artists’ artist’, who continues to inspire and engage artists and audiences three and a half centuries after his death. The Dresden collection’s singular group of Rembrandt works—about 20 drawings attributed to the master today and the nearly complete oeuvre of etchings—provides the basis for this remarkable publication. It has a particular focus on Rembrandt’s narrative compositions, printed selfportraits, studies of his wife Saskia, and includes works from all periods of his oeuvre plus prints and drawings by artists from his workshop and followers. The list of artists who understood Rembrandt as a dynamic authority and source of inspiration is long, reaching from his immediate followers to masters of the 18th century, from Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione to Jonathan Richardson.

GEORGE STUBBS ‘all done from Nature’ Anthony Spira, Martin Postle and Paul Bonaventura
October 2019 | Paperback | $45.00 | 978-1-91130-068-7 | 232 pages | 9 x 9.5
This publication accompanying an exhibition organised by MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, and also showing at the Mauritshuis in The Hague presents the first significant overview of Stubbs’s work in Britain for more than 10 years. It brings together 100 paintings, drawings and publications, from the National Gallery’s Whistlejacket to pieces that have never been seen in public. It also includes new writing on Stubbs with major essays by Jenny Uglow, Martin Myrone, Martin Postle and Nicholas Clee as well as new and existing poetry by Roger Robinson. Born in Liverpool in 1724, Stubbs was a quintessential product of the Enlightenment and embodied all of its core principles, questioning traditional authority and embracing the notion that humanity could be improved through the application of reason. Rather than trust to history and the untested example of his artistic and scientific precursors, Stubbs championed doing as a way of thinking and deployed pictorial representation as a form of knowledge and understanding.
Dr Martin Postle is deputy director for grants and publications at the Paul Mellon Centre and was previously senior curator at Tate gallery. Dr Postle’s research focuses on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British art and he has published widely on this subject.
MESROP OF XIZAN An Armenian Master of the Seventeenth Century Mikayel Arakelyan
Currently Available | Paperback | $40.00 | 978-0-95533-933-2 | 176 pages | 9.5 x 12
Illuminator, painter, scribe, clerk, teacher, doctor of theology, restorer and bookbinder, Mesrop was one of the greatest Armenian artists of his generation. He was prolific, working for at least forty-two years in Sos (New Julfa) from 1608 to 1651. This book is the first serious study of the 46 of his manuscripts that have survived. The focus of the book, however, is The Four Gospels, one of the few manuscripts painted entirely by Mesrop’s hand and one of the most extensively illuminated in his oeuvre. It includes an extraordinary series of illuminations of both Old and New Testament scenes, with no less than twenty-three full page miniatures, and seventeen smaller miniatures. The author sheds light not only on Mesrop’s career but on those of Armenian miniaturists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Through a thorough analysis of Mesrop’s works Arakelyan is able to closely study the working methods of artists working in the scriptoria of Vaspurakan, Mokk’ and New Julfa. He demonstrates the dramatic and exciting way in which these artists deliberately maintained a style of illumination rooted in Early Christianity.

A lavishly illustrated volume of Pakistani textiles of extraordinary color and vibrancy from one of the most arid areas on Earth. The Flowering Desert: Textiles from Sindh focuses on a private collection of textiles from Sindh, Pakistan, which, according to some scholars, was the crucible in which the textile traditions of Gujarat and Rajasthan were forged. Sindhi textiles are unique inasmuch as they reflect a dimension that combines the harshness of the terrain with a quest for a mythical and unattainable beauty. The collection is recognized as being of outstanding merit and some of it has featured in exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. In addition to sumptuous reproductions of 120 remarkable objects the book includes contextual photographs of textiles in use. TO ORDER: CALL 1-610-853-9131 FAX 1-610-853-9146 www.casemateipm.com

Sitting just lower than Everest at 8,611 metres above sea level on the China-Pakistan border, the Savage Mountain claims the lives of even the most experienced climbers. Alongside severe altitude, the weather is notoriously volatile and the climb relentlessly steep. A staggering one in four attempts result in death on the mountain. In One Man’s Climb, Adrian Hayes details an intensely personal account of his attempts to climb K2—first in 2013 and again in 2014. Absorbing and self-reflective, his journey is as much a story of climbing a mountain as it is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure. Adrian Hayes is a record-breaking adventurer, author, keynote speaker, leadership and team coach, documentary presenter and sustainability campaigner. An Arabic and Nepalese speaking former British Army Gurkha officer and Special Forces reservist, he has two Guinness World Records for Polar expeditions to his name.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCIENCE FICTION A Journey into Space with 1950s Radio, TV, Films, Comics and Books John Wade John Wade grew up in the 1950s, a decade that has since been dubbed the golden age of science fiction. With early television broadcasts being advertised for the first time as unsuitable for children and the inescapable barrier of the ‘X’ certificate in the cinema barring anyone under the age of sixteen, the author had only the radio to fall back on—and that turned out to be more fertile for the budding SF fan than might otherwise have been thought. Which is probably why, as he grew older, rediscovering those old TV broadcasts and films that had been out of bounds when he was a kid took on a lure that soon became an obsession.

THE ROOTS OF IRELAND’S TROUBLES
IRELAND AND THE MONARCHY
Robert Stedall
John Gibney
If the objective of colonization was the establishment of economic benefit, in Ireland it was to enforce order. Settlers were required to usurp the traditional lands of its indigenous population. Their attempts to enforce Protestantism onto the dogmatically Catholic locals were doomed to failure. Inextricably linked with the history of Britain, Stedall guides the reader through Ireland’s turbulent but rich history. To understand the causes behind the twentieth-century conflict, which continues to resonate today, we must look to the long arc of history in order to truly appreciate the historical roots of a nation’s conflict.
In the third installment of the collaboration between Pen and Sword and History Ireland magazine, a range of experts examine how the role played by monarchs and their monarchies from the middle ages up to the present has had a role in shaping Ireland and its peoples, exploring some unexpected highways and byways along the way.

WHO WAS JACK THE RIPPER? All the Suspects Revealed Members of H Division Crime Club
October 2019 | Hardback | $34.95 | 978-1-52674-872-0 | 256 pages | 6 x 9.5
Jack the Ripper is the ultimate cold case. The Whitechapel Murders of 1888 have remained unsolved for over 130 years and hundreds of theories have been suggested as to the killer’s identity. Despite numerous books claiming to unmask the infamous Victorian villain, none have come close …. until now. The authors of this book are all members of H Division Crime Club, the world’s largest body of experts on the Jack the Ripper murders. They have come together for the first time in history to deliver their own personal research into each suspect and to finally nail down the identity of the man know as Jack the Ripper. Taking the original police reports, eye witness accounts and research by the world’s leading authorities into account, we ask two crucial questions: Who did the police suspect at the time? Who was in the area to commit the murders? Using 21st century profiling techniques, it is time to reveal the truth behind the men most likely to have been Jack the Ripper. With each chapter discussing a separate suspect in detail, this book is the ultimate guide to solving the world’s greatest murder.
THE HIDDEN LIVES OF JACK THE RIPPER’S VICTIMS Robert Hume Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly are inextricably linked in history. Their names might not be instantly recognisable, and the identity of their murderer may have eluded detectives and historians throughout the years, but there is no mistaking the infamy of Jack the Ripper. For nine weeks during the autumn of 1888, the Whitechapel Murderer brought terror to London’s East End, slashing women’s throats and disembowelling them. London’s most famous serial killer has been pored over time and again, yet his victims have been sorely neglected, reduced to the simple label: prostitute.
December 2019 | Hardback | $39.95 | 978-1-52673-860-8 | 168 pages | 6 x 9.5
The lives of these five women are rags-to-riches-to-rags stories of the most tragic kind. There was a time in each of their lives when these poor women had a job, money, a home and a family. Hardworking, determined and fiercely independent individuals, it was bad luck, or a wrong turn here or there, that left them wretched and destitute. Ignored by the press and overlooked by historians, it is time their stories were told.
Now an author and freelance feature writer, Dr Robert Hume was former head of history at Hillview School, Tonbridge, and Clarendon House Grammar School in England. He writes regularly for magazines such as BBC History, History Today and The Irish Examiner. This is his first book for Pen and Sword.
INTERPRETING THE RIPPER LETTERS Missed Clues and Reflections on Victorian Society M. J. Trow
August 2019 | Hardback | $34.95 | 978-1-52673-929-2 | 192 pages | 6 x 9.5
In the autumn of 1888, a series of grisly murders took place in Whitechapel in London’s East End, the Abyss, the Ghetto, the City of Eternal Night. The Whitechapel murderer, arguably the first of his kind, was never caught but the killings gave rise to the best known pen-name in criminal history—Jack the Ripper. The Whitechapel killer was terrifyingly real but Jack was the creation of Fleet Street, the gallows humor of a newspaper hack whose sole aim in life was to sell newspapers. And where the ‘Dear Boss’ letter, with its ‘trade name’ signature led, thousands followed. This book is not about the world’s first serial killer but about the sick, the perverted, the twisted souls who put pen to paper purporting to be the killer or suggested ever more lurid ways in which he could be caught. Innocent men were put in the frame by Victorian troublemakers who would be perfectly at home with today’s Internet trolls, pointing cruel fingers in almost perfect anonymity. The book takes the lid off Victorian mindsets, exposing a dark and unnatural place as topsy-turvy as that inhabited by the killer himself.

THE GUNPOWDER PLOT DECEIT
CROMWELL AND HIS WOMEN
Martyn R Beardsley
Julian Whitehead
Most people think they know the story of the Gunpowder Plot, and of how a bloody catastrophe was averted at the eleventh hour when Guy Fawkes was caught lurking in the shadows beneath the Houses of Parliament. This book explores the idea that the government was not only aware of what the plotters were up to long before Fawkes’ arrest, but that agent-provocateurs may have given them a helping hand—or have even instigated the plot themselves.
The author explores not only the effect the women in Cromwell’s life had on him, but how his career in turn dramatically altered their lives. We learn of his close relationship with his mother, who lived with him throughout her long life, and of his deep attachment to his wife Elizabeth, who he married at age 22 and without whom it is doubtful he would have achieved all he did.

A HISTORY OF CADBURY Diane Wordsworth When John Cadbury came to Birmingham in the English midlands in 1824, he sold tea, coffee and drinking chocolate in a small shop. Drinking chocolate was considered a healthy alternative to alcohol, something Cadbury, a Quaker, was keen to encourage. In 1879, the Cadburys moved to Bournville and created their ‘factory in a garden’—an unprecedented move. It is now ironic that today’s Bournville is surrounded by that urban sprawl the Cadburys were so keen to get away from. August 2019 | Paperback | $24.95 | 978-1-52675-166-9 | 176 pages | 6 x 9.5

Female Injustice in Victorian Britain Stephen Jakobi
November 2019 | Paperback | $24.95 | 978-1-52674-162-2 | 224 pages | 6 x 9.5
Lacing tea with poison and slipping arsenic in to soup, this is what comes to mind we talk of murderesses of the Victorian age. Stephen Jakobi takes a forensic approach to examine the trials of six women falsely sentenced for crimes they didn’t commit. With the aid of primary sources, and in two cases the ready assistance of descendants and local journalists, the validity of their convictions is questioned.
In 1992 Jakobi founded the Human Rights organisation Fair Trials International and was adviser to the European institutions on subjects ranging from Guantánamo to the European arrest warrant. He was awarded an OBE in 2005. Author of In the Mind of a Female Serial Killer, Misjudged Murderesses is his second book.

This book reveals attitudes, ideas and responses on what was to be done with “mad women” in Britain. The book exposes the agonies of life for the second class gender; from misdiagnosis to brutal oppression, seen as in league with the Devil or the volatile wretch. Touching no less than six centuries, it recalls how, for a woman, being labeled as mad was much less a risk, more her inevitable burden.

A HISTORY OF MAGIC AND WITCHCRAFT
WARRIORS AND WENCHES
Sabbats, Satan and Superstitions in the West Frances Timbers
Sex and Power in Women’s History Michelle Rosenberg
Blowing away folklore cobwebs, this enlightening new history dispels many of the misconceptions rooted in superstition and myth that surround witchcraft and magic today. Historian Frances Timbers brings together elements of Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, Christianity, popular culture, and gender beliefs that evolved throughout the middle ages and early modern period and contributed to the construction and eventual persecution of the figure of the witch.
The world is full of women we don’t know whose stories have been overlooked or airbrushed from history. This book doesn’t seek to decide whether these women were good or bad; we’ll leave it up to you to make up your own mind. But these are just some of the women who, through military skill, incredible courage and loyalty, scandal, poison plots and sexual debauchery, have crossed over into the realm of legend and myth and become powerful symbols of feminist power.
Frances Timbers holds a PhD in British History from the University of Toronto and has published two books on witchcraft and magic: Magic and Masculinity and The Magical Adventures of Mary Parish

While much has been written about the “father of computers” Charles Babbage and Alan Turing, the pioneer of computer science, many trailblazing female computer programers have slipped beneath the radar. One of these is Ada Lovelace, a renowned mathematician and writer. She is chiefly known for her work with Charles Babbage. But it was actually Ada and not Babbage who was the first person to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation.

This book shows how the traumatic and cataclysmic experiences of Madame Tussaud’s early life became part of her legacy. She created a succession of scenes in wax, telling events as she personally experienced them. Her wax sculptures were visceral. She made them herself, at times from the living person’s head and at other times from the recently guillotined head of a former house guest. As a result, people were drawn to her wax displays in those days because they were the most intense way of experiencing those events themselves.
Geri Walton is author of Marie Antoinette’s Confidante: The Rise and Fall of the Princesse de Lamballe.

In this, the fully updated second edition of his bestselling guide to researching Irish history using the internet, Chris Paton shows the extraordinary variety of sources that can now be accessed online. Although Ireland has lost many records that would have been of great interest to family historians, he demonstrates that a great deal of information survived and is now easily available to the researcher.

He introduces readers to the wealth of information available to those wishing to trace their North Staffordshire roots. The six pottery towns Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton are at the heart of the story.

Debtors’ prisons are infamous but very little has been written about the records of those confined within them in London or elsewhere in the UK. Even less has been written about the trials of those who were often incarcerated following misfortune or mismanagement rather than criminal intent. That is why Paul Blake’s handbook is so useful for researchers who want to find out about forebears who may have been caught up in the insolvency system.
Paul Blake recent publications include Discover the Poor Law in England and Wales and Discover Protestant nonconformity in England and Wales. 48

Alex Ombler’s handbook is the first practical guide for family historians who wish to find out about family members who worked in British docks. In a series of concise, informative chapters he takes readers through the history of British ports and identifies research methods and materials—both local and national—through which they can discover the lives and experiences of the people who worked in them.
In the course of researching his PhD on the history of the English port of Hull, Dr Alex Ombler explored the sources relating to British dock workers and communities across the country and has written on the subject for history and geography publications. He works as an assistant in the archives and local studies service of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

TRACING YOUR ANCESTORS USING DNA A Guide for Family Historians Graham S Holton DNA research is one of the most important and rapidly advancing areas in modern science and the practical use of DNA testing in genealogy is one of its most exciting applications. Yet there is no recent British publication in this field. That is why this accessible, wide-ranging introduction is so valuable. It offers a clear and practical way into the subject, explaining the scientific discoveries and techniques and illustrating with case studies how it can be used by genealogists to gain an insight into their ancestry. The subject is complex and perhaps difficult for traditional genealogists to understand but, with the aid of this book, novices who are keen to take advantage of it will be able to interpret test results and use them to help answer genealogical questions.

TRACING YOUR FEMALE ANCESTORS A Guide for Family Historians Adéle Emm Everyone has a mother and a line of female ancestors and often their paths through life are hard to trace. That is why this detailed, accessible handbook is of such value, for it explores the lives of female ancestors from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 to the beginning of the First World War. Chapters cover the quintessential experiences of birth, marriage and death, a woman’s working and daily life both middle and working class, through to crime and punishment, the acquisition of an education and the fight for equality. Each chapter gives advice on where further resources, archives, wills, newspapers and websites can be found, with plentiful common-sense advice on how to use them.

The range of such societies covered includes the popular and international ones such as the OddFellows, Foresters and Rechabites, as well as the smaller local fraternal organizations. The type of assistance they offer, their structure and hierarchy, meetings and ceremonies, regalia and processions, and feasts and annual gatherings are all described and explained in this book.

MAKGADIKGADI PANS A Traveller’s guide to the salt flats of Botswana Grahame McLeod Lying between the perennial waterways of the Okavango Delta to the northwest and the arid Kalahari to the south are the legendary Makgadikgadi Pans, one of the largest salt complexes in the world. Some 12,000 square kilometres in extent, these salt flats—consisting of two large pans, Sowa and Ntwetwe, and myriad smaller ones—are Botswana’s best-kept secret and one of its fastest-growing tourist destinations. In this first, fully illustrated guidebook on the pans, Grahame McLeod explores this fascinating region, revealing its varied landscapes, geology, wildlife, vegetation and climate. Along the way he uncovers its diverse attractions: Nata Bird Sanctuary, Lekhubu Island, the Boteti River, Mosu Escarpment, Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans National Park, and the small towns and villages along the pans’ fringes. October 2019 | Paperback | $17.00 | 978-1-77584-557-7 | 140 pages | 7.48 x 9.64 Grahame McLeod was born in Malaysia and educated in the UK. He worked as an exploration geologist in Botswana before completing an MSc degree in Agricultural Economics at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Since then he has taught agriculture at secondary schools and colleges of education in Botswana and written a number of textbooks and resources on geography, agriculture and the environment.
MINERALS & GEMSTONES OF EAST AFRICA Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda Bruce Cairncross A focus on the minerals and gemstones of the East African region. A comprehensive introduction unpacks the topic and the regional geology; it is followed by an A to Z of minerals and gemstones, incorporating detailed text and multiple images for each specimen. The large format allows for a superb selection of photographs—pre-cut and polished specimens (and images to portray uses and jewelry where relevant)—to bring the subject alive. February 2020 | Paperback | $16.50 | 978-1-77584-556-0 | 160 pages | 9.84 x 8.26 Professor Bruce Cairncross is chairman of the geology department at the Rand Afrikaans University in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has an inherent interest in Southern African mineralogy and geology, and his research efforts are aimed at documenting important geological sites and promoting the preservation of the region’s mineralogical heritage.

HIDDEN PRETORIA Johan Swart and Alain Proust Despite being South Africa’s capital city, Pretoria has often played a supporting role to bold and brash Johannesburg and Cape Town’s cosmopolitan charms. However, when it comes to architectural heritage, the “Jacaranda City” is well-endowed. From the skyline-dominating Union Buildings and Voortrekker Monument, to the imposing edifices that make up its administrative precincts, Pretoria might almost be deserving of a second moniker: the city of sandstone, brick and granite. But when you look beyond the impressive façades, soaring columns and linear planes of buildings that were intended to convey power and authority, you’ll find light-filled interiors embellished with decorative touches that are only hinted at from the sidewalk. Murals, mosaics, domes, galleries, stained glass windows, gleaming brass and impressive woodwork are often hidden from view behind doors that are closed to the public. February 2020 | Hardback | $32.95 | 978-1-43230-465-2 | 240 pages | 9.8 x 10.2 Johan Swart is a full-time lecturer at the University of Pretoria, where he teaches architectural history and leads a multidisciplinary heritage design studio for post-graduate students.

HELP! THERE’S A GUEST AT MY TABLE Annabel Frere
Currently Available | Paperback | $15.00 | 978-1-43230-872-8 | 176 pages | 7.5 x 9.25
A generation of young adults have come to know, love and depend on Help! There’s a Stove in My Kitchen, Annabel Frere’s first cookbook. That same generation has graduated to the young professionals who now need to entertain on a somewhat more sophisticated level. Author Annabel has been through all these stages with her own daughters and once again provides a repertoire of tasty and relatively simple recipes for events ranging from impromptu gatherings to well-organized occasions, much emphasis is placed on good planning, as well as preparing foods in advance so that the cook can spend as much time with his or her guests, rather than in the kitchen on the day itself. Attention is also given to texture and presentation, with plenty of tips and suggestions for effortless entertaining. Where dishes may seem to be more complicated, Annabel is an expert at demystifying them. And of course, no party is complete without the right liquid accompaniments so there is a chapter on some delicious cocktails, both with and without alcohol.

Michael Smith has written two other books on polar exploration: An Unsung Hero and I’m Am Just Going Outside.

I DON’T WANT TO BE A HYENA
CLASS ACTION In Pursuit of a Larger Life Charles Abrahams
Currently Available | Paperback | $18.50 | 978-1-77609-352-6 | 232 pages | 6 x 9.2
Charles Abrahams has spearheaded class-action lawsuits to defend the vulnerable and oppressed, but as a child he experienced oppression himself in the most visceral way. In this remarkable memoir, he recounts his poverty-stricken youth on the Cape Flats, amidst habitual gang fights and domestic violence. Class Action is the honest, insightful and inspiring story of a man who wrestled with oppression and resolved to keep fighting it.
Charles Abrahams is a prominent South African human-rights and class-action lawyer. He holds a BProc degree from the University of the Western Cape and a master’s degree in Public International Law from Leiden University in the Netherlands. He is the recipient of the prestigious Edward Quist-Arcton Award and the Nelson Mandela Scholarship Award. 58
In this unique coming-of-age memoir, Martinique Stilwell’s recounting of her truelife gypsy childhood is poignant, funny and heartbreaking all at the same time. With the wisdom and innocence of a child’s point of view, it is a powerful yet tender story of physical and emotional adversity, of family dysfunction and the ties that bind, and of the shackles and exhilarating freedom of growing up.
Avril van der Merwe and Heidi-Kate Greeff
February 2020 | Paperback | $7.00 | 978-1-48590-050-4 | 32 pages | 8.2 x 8.2
Hyena is unhappy because it seems that she does not have a good reputation. She wants to be loved, like Elephant, and admired, like Lion. However, her efforts to turn herself into first an elephant, and then a lion prove humorously unsuccessful. Lion suggests that since Hyena has spots like a leopard, perhaps she could become a leopard instead. This attempt too, meets with comical failure. Far from denigrating her, the other animals affirm her strong hyena qualities, and encourage her to be all that she was born to be.
Avril van der Merwe is the author of How Cheetah Got His Tears (Puffin Books 2017) and Once Upon a Rhinoceros (Puffin Books 2018) as well as several prize-winning children’s stories set in Africa.

THE OTHER “HERMIT” OF THOREAU’S WALDEN POND The Sojourn of Edmond Stuart Hotham Terry W. Barkley “I didn’t realize there was another ‘hermit’ of Walden Pond!” is the usual response author-historian Terry Barkley receives when he tells someone the subject of his new book. Henry David Thoreau’s experiment there from 1845–1847 is widely known and immortalized in his classic Walden; or, Life in the Woods (1854). “However,” stresses Barkley, “Neither the world nor even most avid Thoreauvians know about Edmond Hotham’s six-months at Walden Pond during the winter of 1868-1869,” the fascinating story of which is detailed in The Other “Hermit” of Thoreau’s Walden Pond: The Sojourn of Edmond Stuart Hotham. August 2019 | This is the first book-length treatise on Hotham, half of which is wholly new material. Hardback | $18.95 | It far supersedes the late Kenneth Walter Cameron’s 1962 article on Hotham, which 978-1-61121-481-9 | until now was the most complete study of the man. 120 pages | 5.5 x 7.5 A member of the Thoreau Society, Terry Barkley is a retired professional librarian, archivist, and Harvard-trained museum curator, and a former history teacher.
THE TYRANNY OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE Abraham Lincoln’s Six-Element Antidote for Meaningful and Persuasive Writing David Hirsch and Dan Van Haften Are you satisfied with the current state of public discourse? The almost unanimous response from people across the nation is a loud and emphatic “No!”
July 2019 | Hardback | $32.95 | 978-1-61121-474-1 | 192 pages | 7 x 10
This book can teach anyone how to use logic and reason to create persuasive writing. A byproduct of this is the civility that will ensue with an elevated public discourse. The Tyranny of Public Discourse establishes the six elements of a proposition as a verbal form of the scientific method—something Abraham Lincoln knew and used routinely. His logic and reason is so well known that it is quoted today more than 150 years after his death. Learning the six elements and how to use them to discuss any topic at any time is not only fascinating, but fairly easy to understand and implement. This book sets it all out, step-by-step and color coded, from beginning to end.
David Hirsch is an attorney in Des Moines, Iowa. He has a BS from Michigan State University and a JD, with distinction, from the University of Iowa College of Law. He clerked for an Iowa Supreme Court Justice from 1973 to 1974. In addition to a full‑time law practice, Hirsch was a columnist for the American Bar Association Journal.

The Full Monty Monty Panesar
In Cut Short, Taylor reveals his route to the top. On the way, he describes how he encountered prejudice against his size and how his Test debut was overshadowed by the negative attentions of Kevin Pietersen.

Having spent 5 years learning his trade in County Cricket, Monty Panesar established himself with England in 2006, quickly becoming a national hero, with his trademark black turban, wide eyes and eager fielding. Monty was a different type of spinner to those who had gone before, here was someone who was not afraid to “give it some air” and attack.
