Wisdom from the Wilderness

'Extraordinary' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation' TELEGRAPH 'The book of a lifetime' ELIF SHAFAK 'The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him' MICHAEL PALIN 'Heart-catching . . . fabulous' OBSERVER 'A beautiful book' ALAIN DE BOTTON The epic adventure story of the North Pole - its transcendent beauty and dangerous appeal - from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990 Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year. Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary - the first polar explorer global celebrities - who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the 'silver-shining vacantness' of the North Pole. Blending memories from Kagge's own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who's gazed out at the horizon - and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted' RANULPH FIENNES

The North Pole

ALSO AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW: MICHAEL PALIN IN THE PHILIPPINES - COMING SEPTEMBER 2026. --------- The extraordinary new book from the bestselling author, a richly illustrated travel adventure across the African nation. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and brimming with wry humour and fascinating insights, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country. --------- With his eightieth birthday looming, it crossed Michael Palin's mind that now might be the time to hang up his boots, to lounge about at home, to take things easy. Then the opportunity to visit Africa's most populous nation arose. A few weeks later, he was at Lagos airport, camera crew in town. In the journal he kept during his trip he gives a vivid account of the towns and cities he visited, the landscapes he travelled through, and the people he met: from vibrant but chaotic Lagos, to seemingly deserted streets of Nigeria's hyper-modern capital, Abuja, to the polluted oil fields of the Niger Delta. Michael Palin is welcomed as an honoured guest by a powerful emir and harangued by a passerby in Benin City. He hears the testimony of a kidnap victim of the terrorist group Boko Haram and experiences the collective spiritual ecstasy of one of Nigeria's mega churches. And throughout his trip, he experiences at first hand the contradictions of a country that has so much natural wealth and human talent and yet simultaneously grapples with corruption, religious strife and deep inequality. _______ Praise for Michael Palin: 'I cannot remember the last time I read a book so immediately absorbing and affecting.' Bill Bryson, bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything 'Stirring' Daily Telegraph 'Everybody's talking about it . . . A brilliant book.' Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2 'Tremendous' Guardian 'I absolutely loved it: I had to read it at one sitting.' Lorraine Kelly, ITV Lorraine 'Magisterial' The Times '[a] winning mix of genuine interest, good-humoured charm and that deceptively steely nose for humbug' Wanderlust ' [An] absorbing and beautifully illustrated day-by-day account' Daily Mirror

Enchanting and fascinating, discover the extraordinary world of Britain's ordinary garden birds, related. In the late 1930s, Len Howard packed up her life in London, bought a plot of land in Sussex and built herself a little house there. This was to be Bird Cottage, a place where the doors of the house were open to the birds of the garden - great tits, blue tits, robins, blackbirds, willow warblers and many others. Len lived the rest of her life alongside her bird neighbours, with some sleeping in her bedroom and many flitting in and out all day long. This edition contains the two books she wrote about the birds, Birds as Individuals and Living with Birds. They are studies not just of bird behaviour but of their character, intelligence, singing voices, likes and dislikes. Enchanting, life-enriching, revelatory and completely original, this is a gorgeous evocation of a life lived in intimate contact with nature and a book about birds unlike any other. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY STEPHEN MOSS CONTAINS BIRDS AS INDIVIDUALS AND LIVING WITH BIRDS Praise for Birds as Individuals 'A unique, engaging and elegant insight into the lives of our precious and magical songbirds' Arthur Parkinson 'It impressed and moved me very much' Steven Lovatt, author of Birdsong in a Time of Silence

"Easy-going, discursive and digressive, even those to whom trains are a closed timetable will find this a charming travelogue." - Stuart Maconie Join travel writer and self-confessed "train nut" Tom Chesshyre as he celebrates 200 years of passenger railways on a zigzagging tour around the UK - where trains (proudly) began In a small market town in the northeast of England in 1825, something momentous happened: ticket-bearing human beings started moving along wrought-iron tracks on a contraption with engine-powered wheels. The contraption was called a "train". What happened in Darlington, along a 26-mile line to Stockton, would kickstart the worldwide railway revolution. Today, 1.3 million miles of tracks crisscross the planet. To celebrate the 200th anniversary of this groundbreaking event, Tom Chesshyre embarks on a journey around the country that invented trains, taking in many heritage lines maintained by armies of enthusiasts. On a long, circular series of rides beginning and ending in Darlington, Chesshyre enjoys the scenery, seeks out the history, dodges delays (best he can), reports on the current (often shambolic) state of British railways, and lets the rhythm of the clattering tracks reveal what it is about trains - especially wonderful old trains - that we love so much.

Why not? No-one had ever done it: one of the longest of all overland journeys, from the English Channel to Singapore. Several expeditions had tried. Some had reached the Persian deserts; a few, the Indian plains. But none had gone further: over the jungle-clad Assamese mountains, across northern Burma, to Thailand and Malaya. It was 1955. For the final 3,000 miles, it seemed, there were 'too many rivers and too few roads'. But no-one really knew... They were undergraduates with no money, no cars--no nothing, except cool audacity. They wheedled and cajoled, coaxing the BBC into supplying film for a possible series; 'persuading' Rover to lend them two factory-fresh off-road vehicles; sweet-talking a book publisher into offering an advance. By the time they set off, their eighty-plus sponsors ranged from whiskey distillers to collapsible bucket-makers. Seven months and 12,000 miles later, two weary, police-escorted Land Rovers rolled into Singapore to flash-bulbs and champagne. Now, fifty years on, their bestseller is republished, with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough. He had given them that film, after all.

LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING 2025 AND A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'A dazzlingly inventive work of literature' Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Ways 'A wonderful, epic braiding of history, geography and personal memoir' James Rebanks, author of English Pastoral _____________________________________________________________________ At the heart of this book is a highway. The A1; The Great North Road. A 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years. In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves. Written in kaleidoscopic prose, The North Road is an unforgettable exploration of Britain's great highway. __________________________________________________________________________ 'This is an astonishing book in its scope and vitality. It's one to relish and revisit.' The Telegraph 'A remarkable, post-Covid, post-Brexit state of the nation literary archaeology.' Financial Times 'Stunning and utterly unique. The North Road sits in a genre of one' Benjamin Myers, author of The Gallows Pole 'A dazzling, dogged, layered account of one road's passage through place, time and an ordinary family's history, The North Road truly is a trip' Melissa Harrison, author of All Among The Barley 'Thought-provoking and beautiful' Matt Gaw, author of Under The Stars 'A beautifully woven and mesmerising book' Tom Bullough, author of Sarn Helen 'Sweeping, sensitive and enduring' Tristan Gooley, author of How To Read A Tree

'Extraordinary, intimate and enriching' Sunday Times 'The finest contemporary writer on the English countryside' Patrick Barkham, Guardian Ronald Blythe lived at the end of an overgrown farm track deep in the rolling countryside of the Stour Valley, on the border between Suffolk and Essex. His home was Bottengoms Farm, a sturdy yeoman's house once owned by the artist John Nash. From here, Blythe spent almost half a century observing the slow turn of the agricultural year, the church year and village life in a series of rich, lyrical rural diaries. Beginning with the arrival of snow on New Year's Day and ending with Christmas carols sung in the village church, Next to Nature invites us to witness a simple life richly lived. It is a celebration of one of our greatest nature writers, and an unforgettable ode to the English landscape. 'All the charm, wonder, eccentricity and vigour of country life is here' Stephen Fry

»EIN VISIONÄRES WERK VON KAUM ERMESSLICHER SCHÖNHEIT.« Elif Shafak
 
 Sind Flüsse bloße Materie und Ressource für Menschen und Tiere? Keineswegs, sagt Robert Macfarlane: Sie sind eigenständige Lebewesen mit Rechten. Flüsse sollen frei von Verschmutzung fließen – und ein gesundes, von Menschenhand ungestörtes Ökosystem entwickeln dürfen. Mit diesem radikalen Konzept nimmt uns Macfarlane in seinem neuen Buch mit auf eine globale Reise, die unser Bewusstsein verändern wird.
 
 »Für mich ist Macfarlane der beste Naturschriftsteller Englands, und auch in diesem Buch ist seine&nbsp;Prosa wie ein Gesang und spiegelt in ihrem Rhythmus&nbsp;sein Thema. Ein Stil wie ein Fluss – wogend, wirbelnd und von überquellendem Leben.«

The Lanzaventura Code: 60 Days Between Desert and Lava - How I Learned to Empty My Mental Recycle Bin Have you ever wondered who you really are when you leave behind your business card, your title, and your smartphone? After 30 years in the high-pressure world of IT project management at giants like IBM and BASF, and a career as a professional basketball player, Felix Ludosan reached a turning point. Between milestones, resource planning, and the constant digital noise, his longing for something authentic became unmistakable. His answer was radical: a complete withdrawal. No plan. No deadlines. No internet. For 60 days, he immersed himself in the primeval solitude of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Surrounded by volcanic rock, trade winds, and the endless expanse of the Atlantic, he developed a new operating system for the mind: the Lanzaventura Code. What to expect in this book: This book is neither a typical travelogue nor a dry coaching manual. It's an honest, often cynical, and deeply philosophical assessment by a man who has learned that true performance only begins when the "corporate software" is shut down.<ul><li>The System Restore: Join the author on his journey from the daily grind of German IT to utter emptiness. Learn how to truly empty the "mental recycle bin."</li><li>The 4-Dimensional Model: Discover a well-founded framework for mental strength and resilience, developed by Felix Ludosan from his experience as a sports mental coach and top manager.</li><li>The 7 Pillars of Well-being: Learn how to recalibrate your personal hardware (sleep, nutrition, presence) to be truly ready for life's next "match."</li><li>Island Insights: From the strategic silence of Betancuria to focus training on the cliffs of Famara-use the geography of the Canary Islands as a metaphor for your own transformation.</li></ul> Who is this book for?<ul><li>Executives and high performers who feel their inner system is on the verge of burnout or utter meaninglessness.</li><li>Individuals and travelers seeking a deep connection with nature and wanting to understand how silence can be the most powerful source of energy.</li><li>Sports enthusiasts and coaches looking for new mental models.</li></ul> Why you should read this "code" Felix Ludosan writes with the precision of an engineer and the passion of a basketball player. He demonstrates that we don't need new apps or tools to become more efficient-we need a new foundation. The Lanzaventura Code is the blueprint for anyone willing to walk barefoot through lava to return with crystal-clear focus. "I shut down my corporate software to see what core remained. The result is this book." Order now and begin your own system check.
