The new collection from 'one of America's most legendary living poets' (Ocean Vuong), written in the drive to fall in love with the world again not as it was, but as it is\n\nwhen the hammer\napproached we thought\n is that thing coming this way\n\nBreathing, moving, living on the page, CAConrad’s exhilarating work is centred on the (Soma)tic ritual, their celebrated practice which draws on nature, crystals, meditation and interactions with strangers to create an ‘extreme present’ of unfettered creativity from which poems can emerge.\n\nListen to the Golden Boomerang Return gathers the results of a single new ritual, focused on fellow animals who have found ways to thrive in the Anthropocene, and spanning environments from Seattle – a city built in the midst of an abundant nontropical rainforest – to the Mojave Desert. The poet receives gifts from a crow; associates different parts of their body with nine different species encountered in the desert; and joins a woman each morning in feeding rats in the streets of Rome, taking turns looking out for the police.\n\nWritten with urgency, hope, anger and joy, the poems that result are an ode to survival in a world that humanity has poisoned, and a testament to a love that knows no by-laws.

HOW THE GOLDEN AGE OF TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL BETWEEN THE WARS TRANSFORMED WOMEN'S LIVES ACROSS ALL CLASSES - A VIVID CROSS SECTION OF LIFE ON-BOARD THE ICONIC OCEAN LINERS FROM BELOW DECKS TO THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE.\n\n'In this riveting slice of social history, Sian Evans does a brilliant job of describing the unexpected textures of life at sea...By deep diving into the archives, Sian Evans has discovered a watery in-between world where the usual rules didn't quite apply and a spirited woman could get further than she ever would on dry land. - Mail on Sunday\n\nMigrants and millionairesses, refugees and aristocrats all looking for a way to improve their lives. After WW1 a world of opportunity was opening up for women ... Before convenient air travel, transatlantic travel was the province of the great ocean liners and never more so than in the glory days of the interwar years. It was an extraordinary undertaking made by many women. Some traveled for leisure, some for work; others to find a new life, marriage, to reinvent themselves or find new opportunities. Their stories have remained largely untold - until now.\n\nMaiden Voyages is a fascinating portrait of these women, and their lives on board magnificent ocean liners as they sailed between the old and the new worlds. The ocean liner was a microcosm of contemporary society, divided by class: from the luxury of the upper deck, playground for the rich and famous, to the cramped conditions of steerage or third class travel. These iconic liners were filled with women of all ages, classes and backgrounds: celebrities and refugees, migrants and millionairesses, aristocrats and crew members.\n\nFull of incredible gossip, stories and intrigue, Maiden Voyages has a diverse cast of inspiring women - from A-listers like Josephine Baker, a dancer from St Louis who found fame in Paris, Marlene Dietrich and Wallis Simpson, Violet 'the unsinkable' Jessop, a crew member who survived the sinking of the Titanic, and entrepreneur Sibyl Colefax, a pioneering interior designer.\n\nWhichever direction they were travelling, whatever hopes they entertained, they were all under the spell of life at sea, a spell which would only break when they went ashore. Maiden Voyages is a compelling and highly entertaining account of life on board: part dream factory, part place of work, independence and escape - always moving.

**Don't miss John Sandford's brand-new thriller Ocean Prey - out now**\n\nHis job is to hunt down criminals. But he's about to become the hunted... Find out why Stephen King calls John Sandford 'one of the great novelists of all time'!\n\n Lucas Davenport has a job with the U.S. Marshals Service - an unusual one. He gets to pick his own cases, whatever they are, and follow wherever they lead him.\n\n And where they've led him this time is into real trouble.\n\n A house at the center of a drug-smuggling ring is attacked and briefcases full of cash are stolen. But whoever took the money left something behind: five bodies, including that of a six-year-old girl. Davenport vows to track down the cash and find the killers. But he's not the only one on the hunt... the drug smugglers want their money back, and they've sent two assassins, including an infamous torturer known for her creative use of home-improvement tools, after Davenport.\n\n It'll take every ounce of Davenport's predatory instinct to track down the killers and money before he becomes the prey.\n\n* * * Readers can't get enough of GOLDEN PREY * * * \n\n 'Rattles along... with lots of dry humour and plenty of action. It's a book I really didn't want to end. In my view it's one of the best in the series' Andrew, Netgalley and GoodReads reviewer\n\n '[Sandford is] a master of pacing & the story clips right along before the race to a satisfying finish' Sandy, GoodReads reviewer\n\n 'It's been several years since I have read one of Sandford's \"Prey\" novels. I'm happy to say that I picked the right one to jump back into the series. This was a highly enjoyable book, and I had a hard time putting it down' Randal, GoodReads reviewer\n\n 'Trademark Lucas Davenport with some suspense, characteristic humor, and action' Debra, GoodReads reviewer\n\n 'An excellent story by a great, great writer. 10 of 10 stars' Tim, GoodReads reviewer\n\n 'This book is fantastic! I cannot wait to go back and catch the rest of the series' Dawn, GoodReads reviewer

Before the advent of commercial transatlantic flights in the early 1950s, the only way to travel between continents was by sea. In the golden age of ocean liners, between the late nineteenth century and the Second World War, shipping companies ensured their vessels were a home away from home, providing entertainment, dining, sleeping quarters and smoking lounges to accommodate passengers of all ages and budgets, for voyages that could last as long as three months.\n\nSecrets of the Great Ocean Liners leads the reader through each of the stages - and secrets - of ocean liner travel, from booking a ticket and choosing a cabin to shore excursions, dining, on-board games, social events, romances, and disembarking on arrival. Additional chapters disclose wartime voyages and disasters at sea. \n\nThe shipping companies produced glamorous brochures, sailing schedules, voyage logs, passenger lists, postcards and menus, all of which help us to savour the challenges, etiquette and luxury of ocean liner travel. Diaries, letters and journals written on board also reveal a host of behind-the-scenes secrets and fascinating insights into the experience of travelling by sea. This book dives into a vast, unique collection to reveal the scandals, glamour, challenges and tragedies of ocean liner travel.

Il simpatico e maldestro “Digging” Bill ha trovato una mappa su cui è indicato il luogo dove, secoli prima, affondò l’Esmeralda, la nave del capitano Maldonado. Inizia così una mirabolante avventura nel mar dei Caraibi, che vedrà Zagor, Cico e l’equipaggio della Golden Baby alle prese con tesori sommersi, contrabbandieri senza scrupoli, feroci pirati, acque infestate dagli squali. Fino al sorprendente finale, che svelerà cosa contiene il forziere del tesoro. Dalla penna del creatore del personaggio, Guido Nolitta, pseudonimo di Sergio Bonelli, e dalla matita del suo ideatore grafico e storico copertinista, Gallieno Ferri, un classico delle avventure di Zagor, che accompagna il lettore nelle profondità dell’oceano sulle tracce di un mistero sepolto tra le pieghe del tempo.

\"Serving on the Big Ships: Life on the Liners\" looks at passenger ship history from the perspective of recollections, impressions, and anecdotes of those who sailed these fine, but largely bygone vessels. It covers the last golden age of ocean liner travel, beginning in the 1950s and continuing into the 1970s and '80s. It reflects a pre-airline age-when passengers sailed from A to B, from port to port. It was before liners turned to cruising and where ports were more entertainment than destination. Staff members - from captains to stewards-recall the likes of Cunard & Holland-America on the North Atlantic, the Italian Line to the Mediterranean, Royal Mail Lines to South America, Union-Castle to Africa and P&O-Orient to Australia & the Far East.

'Outrageous, shocking, wonderful' The New York Times\n\nA golden Cadillac big enough to cross the ocean has been seen sailing along the streets of Harlem. A hit-and-run victim's been hit so hard she got embedded in the wall of a convent. A shootout with three heistmen dressed as cops has left an important politician in a coma - and a lot of money missing. And Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson are the ones who have to piece it all together.\n\nAll Shot Up is chaotic, bloody - and completely unforgettable. Chester Himes wrote detective fiction darker, dirtier and more extreme than anyone else dared.

'Wonderful, life-saving ... places Russell Hoban among the greatest, timeless novelists' The Times\n\nBorn to swim thousands of miles in the ocean, the giant sea turtles are now trapped in a tank of golden-green water at London Zoo. But not for much longer. Two lonely people, a bookseller and a children's illustrator, have begun thinking turtle thoughts. As they come together to hatch a plan to release the turtles into the sea, their diaries reveal how they find their own lives changing in imperceptible and quite unintended ways.\n\n'Crackles with witty detail, mordant intelligence and self-deprecating irony' Time\n\n'This lovely human fable seems to me one of the best things of its kind - a fine and touching achievement' John Fowles

What does it take to dive Titanic's sister ship? This huge vessel from a bygone golden age of ocean travel lies at over 100 metres (330') below the surface. It is not a dive for the faint-hearted. Requiring meticulous planning, precise execution and good conditions, only the most capable technical divers will ever experience it. Even then, tragically some do not make it back to the surface. \nExpedition Britannic is the story of the May 2019 mission to dive the Olympic-class liner-turned-hospital ship, HMHS Britannic. Sunk near the Greek island of Kea during World War I, she will only be ticked off the bucket list of relatively few of the most dedicated deep divers. Steeped in history, the opportunity to see a largely intact near-replica of the world's most famous ocean liner makes it an ultimate dive to aspire to. \nDeep wreck photography specialist Rick Ayrton is one such diver. Assisted by expedition leader Scott Roberts, he takes us through the planning, logistics and preparation essential for scaling one of the pinnacles of wreck diving. Then we explore the wreck with him - going deeper than most divers will in their lifetimes to photograph this once great ship - and make new discoveries.
