An English-language guide to walking in the mountains to the north of Madrid, mainly but not exclusively within the National Park of the Sierra de Guadarrama. In this book, the third one in the Spanish Trails series, Phil Lawler and Tim Price present descriptions and sketch maps of 32 walks in the mountain ranges to the north of Madrid. It will be surprising to many people to find mountains rising to over 2,400 metres (alsmost 8,000 feet) within one hour of Spain's capital city. The mountains can in fact be clearly seen from the northern part of Madrid's city centre. The book contains a selection of easy, moderate and difficult walks in an approximately geographical sequence from the north-west of the city to the north-east. Details are included about how to access the walks, normally by car. Information is also provided about public transport (trains and buses) in the area. The walk descriptions are supplemented by sketch maps, which are intended to be used in conjunction with topographical maps, for which recommendations are given in the book. Other titles in the Spanish Trails series include the Picos de Europa (ISBN 978-0-9955797-0-5) and the Sierra Almijara and Tejeda (near Competa and Nerja) in the south (ISBN 978-0-9955791-1-2).

"Tim Price's play about two hackers is tumultuous, energetic and ultimately touching in its vision of a global network of young people dedicated to challenging the status quo." Guardian A sixteen-year-old London schoolboy and an eighteen-year-old recluse in Shetland meet online, pick a fight with the FBI and change the world forever. This brave and challenging play gets behind the code with the original Anonymous members, offering an anarchic retelling of the birth of hacktivism. Teh Internet is Serious Business is a fictional account of the true story of Anonymous and LulzSec, the collective swarm who took on the most powerful capitalist forces from their bedrooms. The play received its world premiere at the Royal Court, London, in September 2014. This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Hamish Pirie.

The investment markets have never been more dangerous. Interest rates are at all-time lows; the sanctity of cash deposits is under threat; government bonds are expensive and offer ultra-low or negative yields; equity markets are largely detached from reality after years of loose monetary policy. Investors need to calibrate themselves to the realities of this extraordinary new environment so that they can protect their wealth and, ideally, prosper. In Investing Through the Looking Glass, longstanding portfolio manager and investment columnist Tim Price identifies and shatters a number of investment myths and misconceptions. He questions whether stock markets inevitably rise over the longer term, whether bonds continue to be relevant as a failsafe low-risk asset, whether professional fund managers represent "smart money", and much more besides. But this is not just a counsel of despair. Having identified the problems besetting today's investor, the focus then moves on to practical guidance to help investors preserve and grow their capital in this age of inflationary and deflationary uncertainty. Tim Price provides ideas on how to find attractive investments in distorted equity markets, on what might be the best-kept secret in finance, and how best to insure portfolios in an environment of heightened systemic risk. Investing Through the Looking Glass presents a route map for navigating one of the most challenging financial environments that anyone has ever seen. For the sake of your wealth, can you afford not to read it?

Bradley Manning is the 24-year-old US soldier accused of the release of thousands of US embassy emails to Wikileaks. On Friday 16th December 2011, his pre-trial hearing opened in Fort Meade in Maryland. Manning faces a maximum sentence of life in custody with no chance of parole. But just a few years ago, he was a teenager in west Wales. How does his story impact on the people he left behind, and who is responsible for his 'radicalisation'? The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning aims to place him in the pantheon of great Welsh radicals, from the Chartists to Aneurin Beva. This young soldier, who names the president of the United States as a defence witness, knows bus timetables around Haverfordwest. This young man who played a part in the Arab spring, knows the trials of schoolboy rugby. This young soldier who apparently chose his moral code over his military one, speaks rudimentary Welsh. Tim Price's trademark humanity, warmth and wit depicts a complex portrait of Manning as a modern-day, troubled and flawed martyr, but a martyr nonetheless.

The aim of this book is the first of a series to provide off the shelf wargames that may be of immediate use in military training. This book contains 4 ready to use wargames: Game 1: The Sandhurst Kriegsspiel aims to allow officers to test the plan they devised in a TEWT on the actual ground using the tool of wargaming. Game 2: The Battlegroup Kriegsspiel is next level up game. While still a kriegsspiel, dependent on sound military judgement by the umpire (and players), it includes some hard operational research based tables to help arbitrate the combat outcomes. Game 3: Current Ops: the Modern Infantry Battle is a more rigid kriegsspiel, with more detailed rules to govern movement, combat, suppression and ammunition expenditure. Game 4: Counter IED Kriegsspiel is an excellent example of using some of the recent developments in wargaming to create an engaging game about when faced by an IED threat. This book is part of a series documenting current practice in professional wargaming.

The last few years have seen an explosion of new Welsh writing for the stage. With the advent of Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru in 2003 and the launch of National Theatre Wales in 2009, there has been a tectonic shift in Welsh theatre and its perception. Today, there are national theatres telling Welsh stories with wit, verve and ambition in both languages, with playwrights at the heart. The explosion of quality work from Wales's national theatres has stimulated thriving fringe theatre scenes in its cities, and raised the bar for other theatres across the UK. Wales has celebrated its poets and novelists, but in the 21st century, it is the playwright who is asking the crucial questions. In particular, what does it mean to be Welsh in the 21st century? Never before has there been so many playwrights of all ages, from across Wales, finding the stage the home for their stories. This collection of contemporary Welsh plays is the first to officially recognise this 'new wave' of Welsh playwrights, ranging from established, award-winning writers to those on the cusp of national recognition.It showcases a wide range of forms, themes and political concerns, as well as representing the most exciting voices at the forefront of Welsh drama. By taking the temperature on the first golden age of Welsh playwriting, this volume is the first collection in this new Welsh canon. This volume features the following plays: The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning by Tim Price Parallel Lines by Kath Chandler Bruised by Matthew Trevannion Llwyth by Dafydd James (in Welsh) Gardening for the Unfulfilled and Alienated by Brad Birch Tonypandemonium by Rachel Trezise Includes a foreword by David Ian Rabey and Charmian Savill, an introduction by Tim Price and Kate Wasserberg, and a chronology of major events in Welsh playwriting in the 21st century.

An Englishman, a Northern Irishman, a Scotsman and a Welshman walked into a recording studio and created The Union. Commercially successful and critically acclaimed, the pioneering indie rock band is now on the verge of breaking up.

With live music from a four-piece ensemble, I'm With the Band is a witty and timely response to our changing political landscape.

Tim Price's Salt, Root and Roe is a heartbreaking, humorous tale of love and family set against a mythical backdrop. Set on the Pembrokeshire coast in West Wales, identical twins Iola and Anest remain devoted to each other. Ageing fast, and with the time they have together more fragile by the day, they arrive at a desperate decision. Word of this reaches Anest's daughter Menna, who rushes to her long abandoned childhood home where her own ideas of love and compromise are tested to the limit. In spite of the sombre themes of death and bereavement, the writing is light, textured and at times very funny: picking out moments of joy and sadness with seemingly effortless grace. Touching relationships and believable characterisation provide a poignant backdrop to Salt, Root and Roe, where pragmatism, exhausted lives and childrens' fairytales collide in this exploration of grief, loss and acceptance.

It was too exciting. There was something amazing going on all the time. I learn an entirely different kind of London. All these buildings people walk past every day, and there's so much power in them, but no one knows. Tory Party HQ, City Hall, Egyptian Embassy, American Embassy, Foreign Office, but no one holds them to account. No one says, You answer to us. Danny sleeps rough on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral. Has done for years. Then one morning he wakes to see a canvas city being erected in front of him. And Danny finds himself swept up in the last occupation of London. Tim Price's funny and savage monologue explores the reality of the Occupy Movement. Inspired by a true story, this account of an unlikely hero allows us inside a remarkable political moment. Protest Song received its world premiere in the National Theatre's Shed Theatre on 16 December 2013. This edition features an introduction by the playwright, Tim Price.

In a place where everyone knows your name you can't forget who you are. Life, love and loss in a picture postcard town is laid bare in this heart-breaking but darkly comic new play. Through a series of interweaving accounts For Once cuts to the heart of a family, and a community, turned upside down by unimaginable tragedy. For Once examines the fallout after a car crash on a country lane takes the life of two local teenagers, through three interlaced monologues by their surviving friend Sid and his parents, April and Gordon, exposing the pre-existing faultlines in the family. Sid has been left partially sighted by the crash, and his account of his life before and since the accident gives an insight into why young people living in what seems like 'ideal' communities are driven to seek thrills elsewhere, sometimes with horrifying consequences. However, far from being depressing, Tim Price's skill at capturing the revealing inarticulacy of the teenager, as well as his troubled parents, makes for unexpected humour. For Once is a powerful and incisive look at life and death in a small market town and premiered on 8 July 2011 at the Hampstead Theatre in a production by Pentabus Theatre.
