The best-selling biography of Eminem - now fully updated An unflinching account of rapper Marshall Mathers rise to fame from his native Detroit to worldwide superstardom and on to his latest globally chart-topping album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace).
Laying bare Eminem’s relationship with his mother, his teenage soulmate Kim Scott, and his friendship with Dr. Dre, The Dark Story of Eminem also investigates the violent death of his best friend, talks to the makers of 8 Mile, and covers his near-fatal addiction during a four-year disappearance from public view and triumphant comeback with the huge hit album Recovery.
Bringing the story up to date, Nick Hasted finds the newly straightedge sober star obsessively focused on making fresh music, resulting in five albums which are examined in unprecedented detail.
And while Eminem’s unlikely new guise as a wise American elder in tumultuous times finds him attacking Donald Trump and Americas gun laws, and embracing Black Lives Matter, his anti-conscience Shadys provocation and mayhem continues, a contradiction brought to a head with the album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace).

So
It Started There From Punk to Pulp
By Nick Banks
With an introduction by Richard Hawley. So It Started There chronicles the life and career of drummer Nick Banks, and how he came to be in one of the UK’s most iconic and beloved bands: Pulp.
Beginning with his childhood in Rotherham, Nick recounts his personal and musical journey through the genres, first as a punk, then as a goth; how it all started when he was first inspired to pick up the sticks by Sex Pistols drummer, Paul Cook. Flash forward to the eighties, Nick has been playing in a handful of Sheffield groups and spies an ad from his favourite band, Pulp, in a local club. He pays Jarvis and the gang a visit and the rest is history.
From there, Nick describes his growth as a professional drummer and musician, the trials and tribulations of chasing success in the music industry, touring triumphs and horrors, the band’s journey from relative obscurity to becoming a global sensation, and the process of writing and recording their most famous albums.
Written with warmth, humour and inimitable northern charm, Nick tells all. And with it, tells the story of a band that defined a generation.

The Dark Story of Eminem
Jimmy
The Secret Life of James Dean
By Jason Colavito
Although he died at a heartbreakingly young age and appeared in only a handful of movies, James Dean revolutionized American manhood.
As a celebrity and icon, he melded vulnerability with determination, sensitivity with strength, in a way that offered a bracing and for some threatening new vision of masculinity.
His massive influence and the fascination he continue to inspire is inseparable from his secret life as a queer man contending with the homophobia of mid-century America.
Today, even though it is widely accepted that Dean was gay or bisexual, the story of his life and his personal character continue to be coloured by the tropes and prejudices of an earlier era.
Drawing on more than four hundred previously secret pages of Dean's personal and business records, Jimmy is a necessary and essential corrective to the biographical-historical record.
A modern, twenty-first century approach, informed by contemporary ideas about sexual diversity transforms our understanding James Dean's story, and the stories of boys and men like him.

From The Maltese Falcon to Gone Girl
By M. Keith Booker
A deep dive into classic noir films and how filmmakers today are refreshing and updating the genre for new generations. In American Film Noir, M. Keith Booker introduces readers to the cult-favourite genre of film noir and discusses the ongoing power and popularity of the genre's key elements and themes in modern films, often considered neo-noir, well into the twenty-first century. Booker covers a wide range of noir favourites, from the early classics The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep, to late 20th-century neo-noir such as Chinatown, and ultimately newer iterations of the genre as seen in films like Inherent Vice, Promising Young Woman, and Uncut Gems. American Film Noir contains three separate parts, each exploring crucial categories of noir: the detective film, the lost man film, and femme fatale films. Within each section, Booker discusses the essential classic noir films that embody these themes as well as neo-noir films that invite viewers to analyse how the traditional components of noir have evolved with filmmaking. Finally, each section concludes with twenty-firstcentury films that evoke noir elements while refreshing the genre and enhancing viewers' appreciation of the originals that inspired them-what Booker terms "revisionary noir". Whether new to noir films, students of the genre, or long-time fans, readers will be sure to learn what makes this genre so special, discover why filmmakers keep coming back to it, and find a new favourite movie to add to their shelves.

Hearts & Bones
The Life and Music of Paul Simon
By Pete Chrisp
In 1957, two teenage high school friends obsessed with the music of Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers, formed a doowop music duo and released their first record entitled ‘Hey, Schoolgirl’, performing under the name of Tom & Jerry. Who could anticipate that, within five years, these two, bright, welleducated, young Jewish boys from Queens, New York City, would go on to become the most successful folk-rock duo in music history? Simon & Garfunkel. All largely due to a song entitled ‘The Sound of Silence’. Their spectacular career went on to produce five wonderful albums - the most celebrated being 1970’s Bridge Over Troubled Water. But, by then, sadly, best friends had become worst enemies who would rarely perform together again. Instead, Paul Simon, always encouraging musical exploration and embracing new sounds, went on to become one of the world’s most loved and respected singer-songwriters. He has sold more than 30 million albums as a solo artist, with 1986’s brilliant Graceland alone achieving sales of 16 million copies; Simon & Garfunkel are estimated to have sold more than 100 million albums in total.
In this beautifully illustrated, independent publication, music writer and journalist Pete Chrisp explores how - despite his onoff relationship with Art Garfunkel, his often-tempestuous private life and the political controversies surrounding his African masterpiece, Graceland - Paul Simon, now aged 82, has, after all these years, maintained world recognition as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time.

Strength Training for Hockey
By Kevin Neeld, Brijesh Patel
Ice hockey is said to be the fastest sport played on your feet. It is highly dependent on a number of physical qualities such as strength, speed, power, agility, endurance, and mobility. All these qualities require the ability to produce force at varying amounts and velocities. Because strength is the expression of force, strength training can play a massive role in a hockey athlete's performance. Developed with the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Strength Training for Hockey provides a general overarching biomechanical analysis of hockey and specific analyses of the physical demands of each position: goalie, forward, and defence. Using these analyses, you can design an effective training program that translates to performance on the ice.

A Space in the Heart
A Survival Guide for Grieving Parents
By Larry Carlat
A Space in the Heart is about the anguish that the death of a child brings and how to survive and thrive in its aftermath. It’s part memoir, part self-help, zero bullshit and 100 percent straight from the heart. It’s about our never-ending love for our lost children and how that love ultimately helps us transform and heal. In other words, it’s a roadmap for a road no one would ever choose to travel. Grief isn’t something that you overcome…but you can learn to live with it. It will take time. It will take work. It will take pain. It will take strength. It will take an open heart. It will take everything you have. It will take things that you didn’t know you had.
That’s what this book is really about and what sets it apart. It’s about the specific heartache that the death of a child brings. It includes an honest retelling of the ups and downs of parenting an adopted son who struggled with addiction and mental illness. It’s a heartbreaking, at times surprisingly humorous, yet ultimately comforting guided tour through the hell of losing a child a journey on which a parent can transform from ordinary to extraordinary.
One of the many other things Larry Carlat learned is that grief lasts until the day we die. The question becomes what do we want to do with it until then? How do we want to live our lives knowing that we’ve lost a vital piece of who we are? His greatest wish is that this book will help answer those existential questions and, above all, provide unwavering hope along the way.

By Kate Fletcher
In short vignettes tied to the rhythms of the seasons, Kate Fletcher, fashion and sustainability pioneer, explores interrelationships between clothing and the natural world in this first volume of Fletcher’s Almanac.

Abandoned World
An AI-Generated Exploration
By Francis Meslet
Beautiful, haunting photographs of abandoned places from around the world. The ultimate visual reference in urban exploration. These outstanding photographic reports aim to draw attention to the often-dramatic fate of a country's abandoned heritage and its frequently forgotten beauty. The locations featured all have their own stories to tell, in a variety of voices, but with one shared theme: the fall from grace. For fifteen years, Francis Meslet explored urban landscapes as a photographer of the poetry of ruins. Drawing on this experience, with the aid of artificial intelligence, he now takes us on a journey to discover an abandoned world in a not-sodistant future.
Nature relentlessly reclaiming Europe's largest deserted libraries
Open-air ruins of the most beautiful theatres Vast industrial remains frozen in time Paris under the threat of missiles The ashes of Notre Dame Cathedral which has succumbed to the flames... Meslet's work is much more than merely imaginary iconographic documentation. It is an attempt to reconcile the future and the past, a meditation on the fragility of collective memory. As a hunter of ephemeral moments, his generative art images reveal the duality of time, the coexistence of decay and splendour. With his keen eye, he has taken on the guise of a poet of decrepitude, capturing the soul of neglect, turning each image into a silent cry in the desert of contemporary indifference.

One Little Room
By Peter McDonald
The poems in One Little Room enter and explore confined spaces in history and personal memory. The spaces prove not to be as small as they seem from the outside: they expand and interconnect to produce new and dazzling perspectives out of the limits of concentrated meditation and formal shape alike. Poems inhabit the surroundings of a Belfast childhood, pushing these into dimensions where time and space play tricks on memory and circumstance. Boxes, lost travelling trunks, and small volumes enclosed in the dark are transformed into bright gateways to freshly imagined realities. Public and private histories undergo radical reconstruction in the sequence Centenary, where a hundred years of Northern Ireland and the century since the birth of the poet’s father coincide to produce a different kind of history
Invisible Dog
By Fabio Morabito, Richard Gwyn
Fabio Morabito is one of Mexico’s best loved and most entertaining contemporary writers, his narratives marked by a humane irony and a philosophical resignation to the vagaries of his society and the irresistible tyrannies of time. Some of his poems make the reader laugh out loud, and Richard Gwyns translations are true to the tone and manner of the originals. This is the first collection of his poems to appear in English, putting right a significant omission. The fifty-four poems in Invisible Dog were selected by the poet and translator in collaboration and draw from his five published collections spread over four decades. Readers enjoy a comprehensive introduction to his work in breadth and depth. His formal and thematic developments illuminate the wider context of modern Latin American writing, its inventive playfulness, its evasion of conventions of national culture.

Across Australia in a Baby Austin

A racy account of a road trip from Sydney to Cape York and Thursday Island by the author and Mathews, his mechanic mate, in 1927, over "roads" that had never been motored before. In those days, all roads stopped at Cooktown, so the 960 k north to Cape York was a first by any motorist - encountering quicksand, turkey-brush, melon-holes, wide creeks, little water - lonely telegraphists, outpost traders, Aboriginals and life in remote wild places.

The 28th Infantry Division and the Battle of the Bulge
By Walter S. Zapotoczny Jr.
This book is not another battle chronicle. It is an examination of how the motivations of individual soldiers to fight and win can make the difference in battle, especially in the face of overwhelming odds.
In December 1944, the American 28th Infantry Division occupied an 85-mile front extending along Germany's borders with Belgium and Luxembourg.
There they repelled a desperate attempt by Hitler to drive a wedge through the Allied lines to the port of Antwerp, which he believed would buy his scientists the time they needed to complete development of the super weapons forecast to turn the tide of the war.
This book explores the first-hand accounts of men of the 28th Infantry Division, who, with extraordinary tenacity, held the line through December 1944 and January 1945, and the chaplains who attended their religious needs.
It assesses the efforts of the U.S. government to inspire its soldiers to fight for the American way of life, and how these efforts filtered onto the battlefield, shaping the resolve of the men asked, if necessary, to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Extraordinary Valor
The Fight for Charlie Hill in
Vietnam
By William Reeder
Extraordinary Valor is the story of Special Forces Major John Duffy's Medal of Honor gallantry at Firebase Charlie, and the heroism of South Vietnamese paratrooper, Major Le Van M , who fought by his side.

Living on opposite sides of the globe, they come together in the heat of war in Southeast Asia when Major Duffy is assigned as the American advisor to the elite South Vietnamese 11th Airborne Battalion where M? is second in command.
The battalion receives the order to "Fight to the death" on Charlie Hill. After two weeks of intense combat, hundreds lay dead and those still standing are out of food, water, and medical supplies. Their ammunition is nearly gone. Duffy and M? draw on their bond of friendship and trust to make a selfless twoman last stand against the final North Vietnamese human wave assault. Both are badly wounded, Duffy multiple times. Their heroic action allows 36 members of the 471-man battalion to escape and be rescued. The rest are killed, captured, or missing in action. This is their story.

Peewii and the Tree
By Emma Stuart
Key Sales Points:
* Perfect bedtime story with soft dreamy watercolour illustrations aimed at teaching little ones about the magic and importance of trees.
* Pitched at 3- 7-year-olds.
* Written in first person from a 4-year-olds perspective, this picture book is easy to follow and even read once a child is able.
Peewii and the tree is a children’s picture book that teaches little ones the significance of trees.
'My mum thinks the word "Tree" is just a silly made - up word we gave them. She says they are magical, ancient beings and that we could not live without them. Join Peewii as he adventures through the wonders of nature and discovers the importance of protecting our trees and environment.
In this day and age, we have become obsessed with the man made, losing touch with natures impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. Nurturing a positive attitude toward trees in a child has the potential to leave a lasting impression, hopefully leading to the questioning of one’s impact on the environment. As a multi published illustrator of over 15 years, and a passionate landscape painter of these trees, I've decided to combine both passions as well as writing to create a tale of a little boy whose mother teaches him about the wonder, magic and importance of the tree.
