Fractured France
£10.99The French have always loved to protest, to strike, to take to the streets in rebellion against the state or the status quo. But in the last few years, the level of anger and violence has taken many by surprise and the atmosphere has changed. The voices of hostility are not only from the extreme far-right, but from the ordinary French who feel excluded from the closed circle of wealth and privilege within the prospering cities.

The Power of No
£15.00When was the last time you said ‘no’? Not, I don’t think so, or maybe, or let me think about it – but a full-throated ‘NO’? How often do you agree to do things you don’t want to do? Most of us – especially those who don’t wield traditional modes of power or wield less of it – often find ourselves landing on okay or sure instead. In this eclectic and empowering book, Anna Holmes explores why it’s difficult to utter that two-letter word. Playfully tracing how ‘no’ shapes our lives, Holmes shows how, if exercised properly, it can radically change our world.

Harold
£25.00An authoritative life of Harold II, the king who died at the Battle of Hastings in 1066Harold Godwinson is renowned as the king who lost England to the invading William the Conqueror in 1066. Infamous legends, invented by the Victorians, surround his life, corrupting our idea of him. But who was the real Harold II?In this major new biography, Tom Licence reveals the truth behind the nineteenth-century myths.

Hiroshima, 8:15
£16.99The whole city was covered with dark clouds, and conflagrations were breaking out in various directions. Could all of this have happened at once? It was then that black drops of rain, as big as blackberries, began to fall – rain caused by the atomic bomb. I wondered what had happened to my home and church. With a pale face, I ran down the Koi highway. When the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima at 8.15am on 6 August 1945, Methodist minister Kiyoshi Tanimoto was just beginning his day with the usual bowl of soybean and rice bran porridge. Unbeknownst to him at that moment, the aftermath that will unfold before him over days and weeks is full of horror, but through his courageous determination to save his family, church and city from total devastation, Tanimoto would become internationally recognised as a hero of Hiroshima.
