What if the British Museum isn't a house of learning, but a vast
sinkhole of still-bubbling historic injustice? What if it presents
us not with a carefully ordered cross section of history but is
instead a palatial trophy cabinet of colonial loot swarming with
volatile and errant spirits? When artist and writer Noah Angell
first heard murmurs of ghostly sightings at the British Museum he
had to find out more. What started as a trickle soon became a
landslide as staff old and new, from guards of formidable build to
respected curators, brought forth testimonies of their inexplicable
supernatural encounters. It became clear that the source of the
disturbances was related to the Museum's contents - unquiet
objects, holy plunder, and restless human remains protesting their
enforced stay within the colonial collection's cases, cabinets and
deep underground vaults. Be it wraiths associated with genocides,
uprooted sacred beings or the afterglow of deaths that occurred
inside the museum itself, according to those who have worked there,
the museum is heaving with profound spectral disorder. Ghosts of
the British Museum fuses storytelling, folklore and history, digs
deep into our imperial past and unmasks the world's oldest national
museum as a site of ongoing conflict, where under the guise of
preservation, restless objects are held against their will. It now
appears that the objects are fighting back.

Return to life at Château-de-la-Motte Husson in the concluding
memoir from the Sunday Times bestselling authors Dick and Angel
Strawbridge. Picking up from where Living the Château Dream ended,
Dick and Angel recount the newest and biggest challenges they faced
on the journey to transforming their once derelict and abandoned

and sustainable business. When the Covid-19 pandemic engulfs the
world, the château faces a new challenge and must find ways to
adapt in order to keep the Strawbridge's dream life in France
alive. From the cancellation of the wedding season and finding new
ways to fund their Chateau journey, to living in an isolated bubble
whilst continuing to film their TV series, being separated from
family back in the UK to life after the pandemic, this is Dick and
Angel at their most honest and heartfelt, revealing many details
never seen on TV. As entertaining, warm and irresistible as ever,
this is the final chapter in Dick and Angel's remarkable journey to
find their family's forever home.

Menhaj Huda, director of the 2006 film 'Kidulthood', writes and
directs this coming-of-age drama about a young British-Asian man
caught in a culture clash. Ash (James Floyd) keeps his head down
during the week, adhering to his family's strict moral codes and
working for the family business. But as the weekend comes around he
is let loose into the very different world of London's club scene,
where he pursues his long-held dream of becoming a DJ.
Double bill of British crime dramas. 'The Rise and Fall of a White
Collar Hooligan' (2012) follows Mike Jacobs (Nick Nevern), a
football casual who is no stranger to finding himself on the wrong
side of the law. However, the violence and intimidation he indulges
in at football matches are one thing, the credit card fraud schemes
proposed by his friend Eddie Hill (Simon Phillips) are something
else, and Mike is soon in over his head. In 'The Rise and Fall of a
White Collar Hooligan 2: England Away' (2013) Mike is living in
Spain, safeguarded by the Witness Protection Programme after
testifying against several of his former associates. Mike's fatal
weakness is his passion for the England football team and his
problems begin when he is spotted attending a game. Soon his life
is turned upside down as those he betrayed seek revenge through the
kidnapping of his friend Katie (Rita Ramnani).
"I never imagined that the wind would blow me here, to a kind of isolation I have never experienced... There is never anything out here but my shadow, that no one treads on any more"
When Jade's partner leaves the barn that they moved into just weeks before, he leaves a dent in the wall and her life unravelled. Numbed from years in a destructive, abusive relationship, she faces an uncertain future and complete solitude. Slowly, with the help of Devon's salted cliffs and damp forested footpaths, Jade comes back to life and discovers the power of being alone.
As Jade reacclimatizes, she considers what it means to live alone. Through conversations with other hermits across the world, Fitton sheds light on the myriad - and often misunderstood - ways of living alone: from monks to hikikomori, and the largely ignored female hermit. Jade questions whether hermitic living is possible in an era of constant communication and increased housing costs as she finds herself financially unstable and itinerant. She realises that home doesn't exist within walls, but within the landscape of her childhood home county.
Lyrically written, this is an inspirational story of recovery, of finding home, and of celebrating solitude in the natural world.

In this searching, elegant essay, critically acclaimed writer
Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary
culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking
how the mixture of love and hatred we feel towards our fathers-and
patriarchal father figures-can be turned into a relationship that
is generative rather than destructive. Moving deftly between
psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of
fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to
#MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers,
women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this
discomfiting space of love and hate-and how are we to reckon with
both fealty and rebellion? As in her earlier Tomorrow Sex Will Be
Good Again, Angel proves herself yet again to be one of the most
perceptive feminist writers at work today.

Wonder Boy is a riveting investigation into the turbulent life of
Zappos visionary Tony Hsieh, whose radical business strategies
revolutionized both the tech world and corporate culture, based on
rigorous research and reporting by two seasoned journalists. Tony
Hsieh's first successful venture was in middle school, selling
personalized buttons. At Harvard, he made a profit compiling and
selling study guides. In 1998, Hsieh sold his first company to
Microsoft for $265 million. About a decade later, he sold online
shoe empire Zappos to Amazon for $1.2 billion. The secret to his
success? Making his employees happy. At its peak, Zappos's
employee-friendly culture was so famous across the tech industry
that it became one of the hardest companies to get hired at, and
CEOs from other companies regularly toured the headquarters. But
Hsieh's vision for change didn't stop with corporate culture: Hsieh
went on to move Zappos headquarters to Las Vegas and personally
funded a nine-figure campaign to revitalize the city's historic
downtown area. There, he could be found living in an Airstream and
chatting up the locals. But Hsieh's forays into community-revival
projects spun out of control as his issues with mental health and
addiction ramped up, creating the opportunity for more enablers
than friends to stand in his mercurial good graces. Drawing on
hundreds of interviews with a wide range of people whose lives
Hsieh touched, journalists Angel Au-Yeung and David Jeans craft a
rich portrait of a man who was plagued by the pressure to succeed
but who never lost his generous spirit.

fall from grace is front-page news. But little matters to him
beyond Kallia, the contestant he fell for who is now missing and in
the hands of a dangerous magician. Daron is willing to do whatever
it takes to find her. Even if it means unearthing secrets that lead
him on a treacherous journey, risking more than his life and with
no promise of return. After falling through the mirror, Kallia has
never felt more lost, mourning everything she left behind and the
boy she can't seem to forget. Only Jack, the magician who has all

they must navigate a dazzling world where mirrors show memories and
illusions shadow every corner, ruled by a powerful showman who's
been waiting for Kallia to finally cross his stage. But beneath the
glamour of dueling headliners and never-ending revelry, a sinister
force falls like night over everyone, with the dark promise of more
- more power beyond Kallia's wildest imagination, and at a
devastating cost. The truth will come out, a kingdom must fall,
hearts will collide. And the show must finally come to an end.

An hourly guide that follows twenty-four birds as they find food,
mates, and safety from predators. Â From morning to night and
from the Antarctic to the equator, birds have busy days. In this
short book, ornithologist Mark E. Hauber shows readers exactly how
birds spend their time. Each chapter covers a single bird during a
single hour, highlighting twenty-four different bird species from
around the globe, from the tropics through the temperate zones to
the polar regions. We encounter owls and nightjars hunting at night
and kiwis and petrels finding their way in the dark. As the sun
rises, we witness the beautiful songs of the “dawn chorus.” At
eleven o’clock in the morning, we float alongside a common
pochard, a duck resting with one eye open to avoid predators. At
eight that evening, we spot a hawk swallowing bats whole, gorging
on up to fifteen in rapid succession before retreating into the
darkness. Â For each chapter, award-winning artist Tony
Angell has depicted these scenes with his signature pen and ink
illustrations, which grow increasingly light and then dark as our
bird day passes. Working closely together to narrate and illustrate
these unique moments in time, Hauber and Angell have created an
engaging read that is a perfect way to spend an hour or two—and a
true gift for readers, amateur scientists, and birdwatchers.
