Rob Deering has been listening to music his whole life, but it was
only in his mid-thirties that - much to his surprise - he found
himself falling in love with the hugely popular, nearly perfect,
sometimes preposterous activity of running In this vividly conjured
collection, Rob shares stories of when a run, a place and a tune
come together in a life-defining moment. His adventures in running
have spanned four continents, fifteen marathons and numberless
miles of park and pavement, and the carefully chosen music
streaming through his headphones has spurred him forward
throughout. What makes the perfect running tune? Where can you find
the best routes, even in an unfamiliar town? Why do people put
themselves through marathons? In Running Tracks, Rob Deering shares
his sometimes surprising answers to these questions, and explains
how a hobby became an obsession that changed his life forever.

"Canute began by being a Bad King on the advice of his Courtiers,
who informed him (owing to a misunderstanding of the Rule
Britannia) that the King of England was entitled to sit on the sea
without getting wet." 1066 And All That is a book that has itself
become part of our history. The authors made the claim that "All
the History you can remember is in the Book" and, for most of us,
they were probably right. But it is their own unique interpretation
of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire on
textbook history and our confused recollections of it: "The first
date in English History is 55 BC, in which year Julius Caesar (the
memorable Roman Emperor) landed, like all other successful invaders
of these islands, at Thanet. This was in the Olden Days, when the
Romans were top nation on account of their classical education,
etc."
The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride
When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough.
Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.
