Author Bio:

Intrinsically linked to the music scene from the late 1970s Paul Cox started his career at LFI, an established picture agency, where he embarked on an adventurous career photographing live bands at venues in London. Ar�sts such as Blondie, Sid Vicious, Ian Drury - to name a few - were photographed by Paul at iconic venues such as the Marquee, Hope and Anchor pub and the Electric Ballroom. He got bashed about by the fans whilst taking photos! During this period Paul did a lot of live shoots, but also worked for several music magazines and record companies. A�er three years Paul le� the agency and set up a partnership with a fellow photographer from LFI. They set up a studio in an amazing run-down building in Belgravia. A�er a few years there they moved to the studio in Fulham, going their separate ways in the mid-eigh�es. Paul went on to become one of the most prolific photographers of the music scene in that era, photographing prety much every band that entered the Top 40.

Author Bio:

John Kerr is a bestselling author, book seller, editor, and publisher. Having worked as a police and court reporter, in recent years John has become one of Australia’s leading writers on crime. His 2022 book, The Big Folbigg Mistake, was a cri�cal success and helped drawn aten�on to the terrible miscarriage of jus�ce Kathleen Folbigg suffered resul�ng from the judiciary’s ignorant dismissal of top scien�fic evidence.

The Wieambilla Shoo�ngs

The True Story of a long-prepared ambush by religiously mo�vated conspiracy theorists

Key Sales Points:

* The Wieambilla Shoo�ngs provides a reckoning as to what happened on 12 December 2022 when four young police officers made a welfare check on a bush block and walked into a deadly ambush.

* Constables Rachel McCrow and Mathew Arnold and neighbor Alan Dare were shot to their deaths at the hands of the residents of that bush block -brothers Nathaniel and Gareth Train and Gareth’s wife Stacey.

* How did this evil ac�on happen? No-one knows. The Wieambilla Shoo�ngs is what we do know.

* The book assembles all that is known about the lives of the three killers. Introduced to the idea of the Chris�an apocalypse in their early years, the Trains came to embrace the sovereignci�zen movement and pick from the doomsday preppers online to form an incoherent right-to-kill point of view.

* The book will be available before the 12 December anniversary and will generate strong media interest. John will be able to build on media momentum following publica�on of his cri�cally successful book The Big Folbigg Mistake (9781875703524) in 2022.

Two survivors, three lost lives. The true story of a long-prepared ambush by religiously mo�vated conspiracy theorists. Grappling with a dangerous conspiratorial worldview, Gareth, Nathaniel, and Stacey Train carry out one of Australia’s most horrific ambush atacks. Disillusion, paranoia, isola�on collides violently with distrust of government and the outside world in Central Queensland.

John Kerr has taken �me and care to in�mately research the lives of Nathan, Gareth and Stacey Train to help readers make some sense of what happened that day and why.

With an incoherent mash-up of Apocalyp�c Chris�anity, the Sovereign Ci�zen Movement, doomsday preppers mentality, an�vax conspiracy theories and a withdrawal from normal society, The Wieambilla Shootings chronicles the trio’s descent.

The Classic Years

For some, Rod Stewart embodies all the conceit and narcissism that suscep�ble egos are prone to once they make it big in the music industry. Even if that were true, however, that wouldn't change the fact that he is responsible for some of the greatest recordings ever made. A great number of those songs were recorded for the Mercury label between 1969 and 1975, spread across Stewart's solo output as well as his side gig as front man for the band Faces. Even when the records were likable more o�en than they were classic, Stewart was s�ll one of the greatest live atrac�ons in the world, whether on his own or with the band. Rod Stewart: The Classic Years gives a precedented in-depth look at this crucial phase of Stewart's career.

The Sound of the Machine

My Life in Kra�werk and Beyond

A Rough Trade Book of the Year 2022 Some of the most beau�ful, eradefining music has been co-composed by Karl Bartos. 'The Robots', 'Computer Love', 'Neon Lights', 'Tour De France' and Kra�werk's 1982 number one single 'The Model' all contain his de� musical touch. For the first �me, in The Sound of the Machine, Bartos speaks candidly and with wit and humour about his life in Kra�werk, a band widely acknowledged as being one of the most important in modern music. In The Sound of the Machine, Karl vividly recalls what it was like to be in the Kling Klang studios during recording, describing the process and perfectly capturing the joy and passion of three people composing and recording.

Whatever Happened to Slade?

When The Whole World Went Crazee

More than simply the iconic group of the 1970s glam rock era, Slade's huge popularity and the enduring levels of affec�on s�ll exist. Although the original quartet ceased working as a unit in 1992, Noddy Holder, Dave Hill, Jim Lea and Don Powell remain household names. The first serious biography of Slade since 1984, Slade: Nobody's Fools details the complete story of this unique band, as well as the personal histories of the four unique individuals who combined to turn Slade into a genuine phenomenon. Beginning by exploring the background and influences that shaped the foursome, the book charts their emergence from the 1960s beat boom, their ini�al successes, the epoch-making glam heyday, Slade's atempts to crack America and subsequent re-emergence as hard rocking heavyweights, through to their final dissolu�on and post-Slade careers.

At the Table

The Chef's Guide to Advocacy

When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. This was a group known for short tempers and tatoos, not for saving the world. But she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts, suppor�ng local farmers, figh�ng food waste, confron�ng racism, and sexism in the industry, and much more. In At the Table, Miller shares the essen�al techniques she developed for the James Beard Founda�on's Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Readers will learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support ac�on; and maybe most importantly, grab people's aten�on in a crowded media landscape. Miller also shares the moving stories of chefs who used these skills to create las�ng change. Tom Collichio became one of the world's most respected voices on ending hunger. Bakers Against Racism recruited more than 3,000 people to par�cipate their global bake sales. Chefs from around the country pushed Congress to provide financial relief to the restaurant industry at the height of the Covid pandemic. At the Table is filled with inspira�on for anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference outside the four walls of their restaurant. And most importantly, it offers proven methods to become a successful advocate. You don't have to be a celebrity chef to change the food system; you just need the will and the tools in this unique guide.

Jukebox Empire

The Mob and the Dark Side of the American Dream

Key Sales Points:

* Threatened by extor�on, bombing, acid atacks, and his brothers kidnapping, William "Wolfe" Rabin turns to the Mob for protec�on and ends up the mastermind behind the largest money-laundering scheme in history to finance running guns to Cuba.

Jukebox Empire follows the many twists and turns in one man’s pursuit of the American dream, from a self-taught electronics genius to money launderer for the mob. This book exposes how the jukebox industry became the ver�cally integrated business model for organized crime at a �me when there was a jukebox in every restaurant, diner, bar, barracks, arcade, and canteen throughout the country.

Anyone can afford a nickel for a song and every week the jukeboxes generate millions of dollars in cash, untaxed income, that needed to be laundered. Beneath this wholesome veneer lies a seamy underworld of juke joints, operators’ routes, smoke-filled showrooms, and violence. Rabinovitch reveals the details of the mob’s interna�onal money-laundering scheme to finance running guns to Cuba.

The inves�ga�on pieces together an epic puzzle that begins in Chicago with the inven�on of a jukebox and spans the casinos of Havana and the financial giants of Europe, leading to what the FBI called "the biggest bank robbery in the world."

The Lust for Blood

Why We Are Fascinated by Death, Murder, Horror, and Violence

How do we explain the lurid fascina�on that most people experience when confronted by real or simulated acts of violence, murder, horror, and crime? This is the subject examined in this candid assessment of our dark vicarious thrills.

Based on a series of interviews with perpetrators, vic�ms, and "consumers" of violence, including several celebri�es, the author of a best-selling book on serial killers explores what there is about this subject that draws such a wide audience.

Unlike many other books that atempt to probe the murky psyches of deviant individuals, this book focuses on normal, average people who, despite themselves, enjoy ge�ng close to the most forbidden, perverse side of destruc�on and evil.

The persons interviewed range from homicide detec�ves and emergency room personnel to a heavyweight boxer and groupies of serial killers on death row.

The author considers ideas from a variety of theories and research to explain our responses to violence, raises ques�ons about the shi�ing line between normal and abnormal, evaluates the confusion and ambivalence that many people feel when witnessing others suffering, and suggests future trends in society’s a�tudes toward violence.

Afraid

Understanding the Purpose of Fear and Harnessing the Power of Anxiety

Provides a broad and entertaining overview of fear from evolu�on to modern day challenges, and how clinicians treat trauma, anxiety, and PTSD today. About a third of the world popula�on suffers from an anxiety disorder, and half of Americans have had at least one trauma�c experience like rape, assault, shoo�ng, or natural disasters. On social media, digital tribes have lined up against each other and people worry they may get “canceled” for any number of perceived offenses. Fear and anxiety are with us everywhere we go. Fear is one of the most deeply rooted biological mechanisms that has evolved over hundreds of millions of years in the brains and bodies of animals and humans with one key mission: to increase our chance of survival. Fear is deeply woven into our biology, culture, poli�cs, and day to day life. We some�mes don’t even know what we are afraid of. In this book, a psychiatrist and neuroscien�st answer these ques�ons. It is a comprehensive review of fear and anxiety in most tangible aspects of the modern life. Arash Javanbakht explores how our childhood experiences define the role fear plays in us as adults, how fear may or may not affect our genes, what excessive fear and anxiety can do to our brains and bodies, and the role of fear in the wake of trauma. Readers will come away with a beter understanding of fear and how we can tamp its nega�ve effects, how we can treat it medically if necessary, and how we can protect ourselves from fear’s most nega�ve consequences.

Opening Repertoire: Queen's Gambit Accepted

The Queen's Gambit Accepted (1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4) has a long history and has always been popular at all levels of play. However, in the past few years it has undergone an explosion of interest, thanks to many new discoveries of possibili�es for very dynamic play from Black. One of these is the line 1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4 3 e4 b5!?. This was previously thought to be a very poor line for Black but numerous recent games and inves�ga�ons have completely changed this assessment. This is now almost the main line of the Queen's Gambit Accepted and there is currently very litle theore�cal material on it. Nicolas Yap analyses this line in forensic detail and also inves�gates other popular, counteratacking lines such as 3 e3 e5!?. The book is rounded off with sugges�ons to meet other White systems that involve 1 d4 but not 2 c4 (such as the London, Colle etc.) This makes the book a complete repertoire to face 1 d4.

With unprecedented range and detail, this comprehensive collec�on of zombie movie art begins in 1932 (when The White Zombie, the first true entrant in the genre, was released), explores the renaissance that was launched by George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, and traces the countless varia�ons, innova�ons, and reinven�ons that con�nue to ensure that the zombie genre will never truly die.

Star Trek A Cultural History

First airing in 1966, with a promise to "boldly go where no man has gone before," Star Trek would eventually become a bona fide phenomenon. Week a�er week, viewers of the series tuned in to watch Captain Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the crew of the USS Enterprise as they conducted their five-year mission in space. Their mission was cut short by a corporate monolith that demanded higher ra�ngs, but Star Trek lived on in syndica�on, ul�mately becoming a mul�billion-dollar media franchise.

In Star Trek: A Cultural History, M. Keith Booker offers an intriguing account of the series from its original run to its farreaching impact on society. By placing the Star Trek franchise within the context of American history and popular culture, the author explores how the series engaged with poli�cal and social issues such as the Vietnam War, race, gender, and the advancement of technology. While this book emphasizes the original series, it also addresses the significance of subsequent programs, as well as the numerous films and extensive array of novels, comic books, and merchandise that have been produced in the decades since. It is those exact elements that allowed Star Trek to go from simply a good show to the massive media franchise it is today. Star Trek: A Cultural History will appeal to fans of media, television, and popular culture, as well as to fans of the show.

The Simpsons A Cultural History

From its crudely drawn vignetes on The Tracey Ullman Show to its nearly 700 episodes, The Simpsons has evolved from an alterna�ve programming experiment to a worldwide cultural phenomenon. At 30 seasons and coun�ng, The Simpsons boasts the dis�nc�on as the longest-running fic�onal prime�me series in the history of American television. Broadcast around the globe, the show's viewers relate to a plethora of iconic characters-from Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and Bart to KwikE-Mart proprietor Apu, bar owner Moe, school principal Seymour Skinner, and conniving businessman Montgomery Burns, among many others.

In The Simpsons: A Cultural History, Moritz Fink explores the show's roots, profiles its most popular characters, and examines the impact the series has had-not only its shaping of American culture but its pivotal role in the renaissance of television anima�on. Fink traces the show's comic forerunners-da�ng back to early twen�eth century comic strips as well as subversive publica�ons like Mad magazine-and examines how the show, in turn, generated a new wave of anima�on. Drawing on memorable scenes and providing useful background details, this book combines cultural analysis with intriguing trivia. In addi�on to an apprecia�on of the show's landmark episodes, The Simpsons: A Cultural History offers an entertaining discussion of the series that will appeal to both casual fans and devoted aficionados of this groundbreaking program.

Frasier A Cultural History

A�er America's most pompous barhound le� the Cheer's gang in Boston, he returned to Seatle and found himself surrounded by an equally colourful cast of friends and family alike. For eleven seasons, radio psychiatrist Frasier Crane contended with his blue-collar ex-cop father Mar�n, English caretaker Daphne, coworker Roz, and his younger brother Niles. Looking at the world through Frasier's aristocra�c, wity lens, the show explored themes of love, loss, friendship, and what it might mean to live a full life. Both fans and cri�cs loved Frasier, and the show's 37 prime�me Emmy wins are the most ever for a comedy series. In Frasier: A Cultural History, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski offer an engaging analysis of the longrunning, award-winning show, offering insights into both the onscreen stories as well as the efforts behind the scenes to shape this modern classic. This volume examines the series, but also focuses on the show's key characters, including Eddie, the canine. Close looks at set design, class issues, and gender roles are also provided, along with opinionated reviews of all 264 episodes, highligh�ng the peaks and dips in quality across more than a decade of television. Despite the show's focus on an eli�st intellectual-and his equally snooty brother-Frasier o�en embraced farce on a level previously unseen in American sitcoms, a mix of comedic elements that endeared it to viewers around the world. Frasier: A Cultural History will appeal to the show's many fans as well as to scholar of media, television, and popular culture.

The Immortal Dinner

A Famous Evening of Genius and Laughter in Literary London, 1817

On December 28, 1817, the eccentric painter B. R. Haydon gave a famous dinner party in his pain�ng room in London. He invited, among others, three of the greatest literary lights of the age: the poets John Keats and William Wordsworth and the essayist and wit Charles Lamb. Over the course of a long winter evening of delights, the guests recited poetry, indulged in high-minded conversa�on, and took part in ridiculous an�cs, with such displays of brilliance and wit that the party came to be known as the Immortal Dinner. Penelope Hughes-Hallet celebrates this unique gathering by vividly bringing to life these illustrious diners against a backdrop of social change. Literary London society was at its extraordinarily gi�ed best just two years a�er Waterloo: the Elgin Marbles controversy s�ll raged

Warplane

How the Military reformers birthed the A-10 Warthog

The A-10 is the Air Force's unlikely success story, an airplane designed to support the Army, and one that ground troops came to venerate. Originally conceived with the express purpose of destroying Soviet tanks, the Air Force only developed it to keep funding away from the Army's response to the mission, the AH-56 Cheyenne helicopter. Inspired by the biography of a tank-bus�ng German pilot in World War II, the engineering and design of the A-10 fell to Pierre Sprey, a precocious civilian who'd enrolled at Yale when he was just 15 years old, and now, barely 30, was exiled to a Pentagon backwater with litle, if any, supervision. The result was one of the finest military aircra� ever built, a plane essen�ally constructed around a 19.5-foot, 4,000-pound cannon that fired 30mm depleted uranium bullets at a blistering rate.

Air Power's Lost Cause

The American Air Wars of Vietnam

The first comprehensive treatment of the air wars in Vietnam. Filling a substan�al void in our understanding of the history of airpower in Vietnam, this book provides the first comprehensive treatment of the air wars in Vietnam. Brian Laslie traces the complete history of these air wars from the beginning of American involvement un�l final withdrawal. Detailing the compe�ng roles and ac�ons of the air elements of the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force, the author considers the strategic, opera�onal, and tac�cal levels of war. He also looks at the air war from the perspec�ve of the North Vietnamese Air Force. Most important for understanding the US defeat, Laslie illustrates the perils of a na�on building a one-dimensional figh�ng force capable of suppor�ng only one type of war.

Over 350 pages of descrip�ons are prefaced with a 50-page sec�on on habitats, regions, and the best ways of ge�ng out and finding the wealth of birdlife across Western Australia.

Most of the photographs have been taken by author himself, showing the birds in their natural habitats.

Most of the informa�on imparted in this guide also comes from Simon’s personal experience over many decades of bird watching in Australia, giving the guide a very personal tone. This second edi�on incorporates the essen�al species classifica�on changes of the last few years.

Abandoned Germany

Grand congress hotels from the Socialist era, the once popular Ballhaus o�en built with basic, func�onal materials which were not made to last, derelict factories, buildings converted into museums, and barracks now transformed into flats or simply knocked down to make way for solar panels.

Over 15 urban forays to seek out abandoned places have been undertaken by Aurelien Villete, an interna�onal awardwinning photographer, and have helped him paint an alterna�ve portrait of contemporary Germany - a land scarred by many historical fractures which the passage of �me has willingly glossed over, thus remaining only in people’s memories.

Forbidden France

Beau�ful, haun�ng photographs of abandoned places in France. The ul�mate visual reference in French urban explora�on. Castles lost in the mists of �me, large hun�ng estates once used by Frances nobility, historic buildings closed to the public, an abandoned factory once abuzz, an old orphanage in ruins, a grounded Concorde, a disused prison in pastel, a hidden tunnel to protect a collec�on of vintage cars.

Through his photographs immortalising neglected heritage, Robin Brinaert invites us to explore an en�re part of forgoten history whose grandiose details are o�en hidden by decay. Beyond the beauty of these sleeping wonders, he reveals their uncertain fate and the respect they deserve, to help salvage what can s�ll be saved. This excep�onal photographic report is the result of ten years of explora�on across France.

Walks of a Life�me from Around the World Extraordinary Hikes in Excep�onal Places

Walking is simple, but it can also be profound. In an increasingly complex and fran�c world, walking can help simplify and focus our lives, is an elegantly sustainable form of recrea�on, deepens our understanding and apprecia�on of the world’s great cultural landscapes, s�mulates our thinking, and makes us healthier and happier in the process. In Walks of a Lifetime from Around the World, Bob and Martha Manning invite readers to join the walking community. Their book explains why, how, and where to walk, with an emphasis on mul�-day, long-distance trails — walking vaca�ons of a few days to a few weeks. The heart of the book is a series of first-hand descrip�ons of forty of the world’s great mul�-day walks, spanning six con�nents, most U.S. states and Washington, DC, and ranging from inn-to-inn walks to backpacking treks.

The Greatest Rowing Stories Ever Told

The Greatest Rowing Stories Ever Told collects ar�cles and excerpts of classic rowing stories, from the incep�on of the sport on English waters in the eighteenth century, through the scandalous era of professionalism (and gambling) of the nineteenth century, to the popular amateur sport of today. The contributors include prominent oarsmen and women, historians of the sport, and even poets and songwriters. Recall here the great rivalries, the pageantry of the regatas, the poe�c solitude of the single sculler, and many other aspects of a sport entering its third century.

The Woman They Wanted Shatering the Illusion of the Good Chris�an Wife

Ex-wife of pastor Joshua Harris (I Kissed Da�ng Goodbye) Shannon Harris recounts her story of entering conserva�ve Chris�anity as a young woman, its limi�ng and oppressive views on womanhood, and her own awakening to her true self a�er the ministry downfall and her divorce. "No one is coming to rescue me. I am going to have to rescue me." As a twenty-three-year-old singer and the soon-to-be wife of youth pastor Joshua Harris, nothing in Shannon Harriss secular upbringing prepared her to enter the world of conserva�ve Chris�anity. Soon Joshuas bestselling book I Kissed Da�ng Goodbye helped inspire a na�onal purity movement, and Shannon’s iden�ty became "pastors’ wife." The Woman They Wanted recounts Shannon’s remarkable experience inside Big Church where she was asked to live within a narrow defini�on of womanhood for almost two decades and her subsequent journey out of that world and into a more authen�c version.

Revela�on Freshly Erup�ng

Collected Poems

Key Sales Points:

• This collec�on revives the Nobel Prize-winning German Jewish poet Nelly Sachs, who became a great poet in her fi�ies, as a Jewish exile from Nazi Germany, living in Sweden. * Her poetry begins as a monumental lament for the vic�ms of the Holocaust but con�nues to develop other themes. * This dual-language book includes all the lyric poetry Sachs published in her life�me and adds the posthumous collec�on Teile dich Nacht, an introductory essay, and notes.

The Jewish writer Nelly Sachs (1891-1970) writes in direct response to the Holocaust. She is uniquely a prophe�c poet, one of the greatest of that species in twen�eth century. Her first book appeared in the immediate wake of the Second World War, in 1946. Since that �me, Hans Magnus Enzensberger declared, she has been wri�ng fundamentally a single book. Her major work is an evolving response to the trauma of the Holocaust. In 1966 she received the Nobel Prize for Literature. This book includes all the lyric poetry Sachs published in her life�me and adds the posthumous collec�on Teile dich Nacht, an introductory essay, and notes. Her poetry begins as a monumental lament for the vic�ms of the Holocaust. Other themes develop biblical, Kabbalist and religious allusions, personal bereavement, mental breakdown. And there are reflec�ons on poe�c voca�on in the darkness of recent history.
