Rarely has there been a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the manosphere, as men search for new forms of belonging. In ‘Lost Boys’, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called ‘alpha males’, and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers.

Featuring accounts from Ayrshire to the South Wales Valleys, each chapter offers a different perspective of the industry. Britain’s last deep coalmine closed in 2015, yet just 50 years ago the mining industry was a juggernaut, employing over 250,000 workers. Combining interviews with extensive archival research, the author illuminates the extraordinary history of the industry once considered the backbone of Britain. By situating the miners’ strike of 1984-85 in a longer history of the coalfields, we can understand why miners and their families fought so hard against pit closures, and what happened after the pit wheels stopped turning. Vivid, evocative and richly alive with minute detail, ‘Mining Men’ explores what the mining industry once meant to its workers and their communities, and what Britain lost when it was gone.

As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is ‘But what about men’? After 11 years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn’t quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men. So, what about men? Caitlin asks many questions, including the biggest one of all: is it, as many young men claim, harder to be a man than a woman in the 21st century? And is so – why?
