Everything You Need to Know to Identify, Restore & Care for Furniture

An engaging, beautifully illustrated history of London told through twenty-five lost buildingsLondon has been rebuilt and reshaped perhaps more than any other city over its two-millennia history. From the construction of the Underground to slum clearance and the Blitz, buildings have long been damaged or demolished to pave way for the new. Today, demolition is big business, and around 3500 buildings are destroyed each year, most of which are social housing.Paul Knox traces the history of London from the Great Fire to the present day through twenty-five lost buildings. Knox explores surprising and unusual locations in the city's history, like the Necropolis Station in Waterloo used by funeral parties traveling to a burial ground in Surrey. We see historic landmarks, like Christ Church Greyfriars and the Crystal Palace, as well as everyday places like the White Horse pub in Poplar and a housing estate in Hackney. This is a fascinating study of London's restless landscape, showing how conservation has changed over 400 years.

Antique Hunter's Series

A Novel

The Antique Hunter's Death on the Red Sea

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

The Antique Hunter's Murder at the Castle

Room for Good Things to Run Wild is the antidote to widespread Christian malaise. If you feel like life is happening to you, that your faith has been reduced to trite platitudes, and that no matter how many new things you try, you still end up with a dissatisfying Christian life, this book offers relief from the mediocrity of Christian living through the sacred and satisfying journey of becoming an every day saint.After spending too many days staring at the hamster cage of his uninspired life through the bottom of a glass of Scotch, Josh Nadeau knew there were only 2 ways left to go: further down or finally up. Disillusioned by his faith and disenchanted by the world around him, Josh chose up out of a desperation to discover the Jesus who had formed the saints of old. Steeped in literature and doctrine, art and raw daily life and accompanied by original illustrations and living liturgy this book will bring you on the journey back to an embodied theology that understands that we know, not just with our minds, but also with our bodies. From Canada, to England, to Ireland and Spain, Josh follows the Jesus Way, teaching you how to be just as honest about the pain of your life as the pleasure of your life. Rediscover the full and wild world that God has created for you in the way He has created you to experience it. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is a call into the Holy Ordinary; a new way to see that wakes the soul and satisfies the body.

WINNER OF THE INDIE BOOK AWARD 2025 FOR NON-FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2024 'Robinson's prose is humorous and macho, taking its lead from the gruff, sensual delivery of food writer Anthony Bourdain' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A debut that's both a paean to the art of woodworking and a memoir about creative endeavours' OBSERVER 'Mesmeric' SPECTATOR 'Robinson's chiselled, elegant prose is the sound of a bright new voice in non-fiction.' SOPHY ROBERTS, author of A Training School for Elephants and Lost Pianos of Siberia 'A beautifully cut and crafted masterpiece inlaid with insight and polished with the pure joy of nature.' CHRIS PACKHAM, author of Fingers in the Sparkle Jar: A Memoir 'Original. Rare. As beautiful as trees... A masterpiece.' JOHN LEWIS-STEMPEL, author of Meadowland, The Running Hare and The Wood ''What a joy this is. I love the epic quest-ness of it, the wry humour, total graft, risk-taking and downright scariness of Callum's bold adventure. Utterly life-affirming.' MEL GIEDROYC 'A delightful book about the art of craft; a hard-carved woodworking romance written with tenderness and an almost sensual attention to detail. I can smell the resin and the soft, fresh sawdust. I can feel the bite of dense grain beneath the blade. Quite magical.' CAL FLYN, author of Islands of Abandonment ......................................................................................................... Ingrained is a love letter to trees, timber and craftsmanship - and to finding your own voice. The eldest son of a Master Woodworker, Callum Robinson spent his childhood surrounded by wood and trees, absorbing craft lessons in his father's workshop, playing amongst the sycamore, oak and Scots pine that bordered his home. In time he became his father's apprentice, helping to create exquisite bespoke objects. But eventually the need to find his own path led him to establish his own workshop; to chase ever bigger and more commercial projects, to business meetings, bright lights and bureaucracy, to lose touch with his roots. Until the devastating loss of one major job threatened to bring it all crashing down. Faced with the end of his business, his team and everything he had worked so hard to build, he was forced to question what mattered most. Blending memoir and nature writing at its finest, Ingrained is an uplifting meditation on the joys and challenges of working with your hands in our modern age, on inheritance, community, and the beauty of the natural world.

PRE-ORDER THE SECOND BOOK IN THE IRRESISTIBLE FANTASY ROMANCE TRILOGY! Readers love What Blooms From Death: 'The perfect slow burn romance with the best banter and delicious chemistry' 5* reader review 'S.M. Gaither is a master of world building, complicated characters, and tension-filled enemies to lovers stories' 5* reader review 'The perfect mix of fantasy with romance... I honestly think S.M. Gaither just gets better and better.' 5* reader review ------------------------ Months ago, Bellanova Halestorn brought her world back from the dead. But life is a fragile thing. The magic reviving the decayed realm of Noctaris is unstable. Unpredictable. Worse, the one who helped Nova begin to balance that realm - Aleksander - is gone, his body overtaken by the vengeful divine being known as Lorien Blackvale. As the survivors of her ravaged world look to her for salvation, Lorien offers Nova a dangerous bargain: Undo the curse that ruined him centuries ago, restore the scattered pieces of his true self, and she can have Aleks back. Desperate to save the man she loves, Nova agrees. But every step she takes uncovers secrets far more dangerous than Lorien himself. Secrets about her past, about a fanatical order hellbent on controlling the Vaeloran cycle... and about Aleksander's true nature. Because his Light is changing. Something darker is waking. And saving her world from that darkness might mean losing him for good.

What Echoes in the Dark

Apple is not like any other company. More than anyone else, it transformed technology into something people could desire, love, and even identify with-much like a luxury brand. Users were not only buying a tool; they were buying a vision, a way of life.At the center of this transformation stands the Macintosh. First introduced in&nbsp;1984, it was radically different from everything before. With its graphical interface and mouse, it made computing approachable, even friendly. What now feels obvious-clicking on icons, dragging files, pointing instead of typing commands-was revolutionary at the time. The Macintosh not only changed the way people related to technology. The Macintosh forced the entire industry to rethink the way we use computers.This book tells that story through some of the most significant Macintosh models. Each one is presented not only in words but also in images, because these computers are more than technology-they are design icons, symbols of a unique vision.History, technical detail, and photography come together here, aiming to show each Macintosh as it truly deserves to be seen.

Take an exhilarating ride through Jaguar production history, from the original SS to the I-PACE EV, with narratives, photos, and spec tables for each. In 1935, a pair of motorcycle enthusiasts in Coventry, England—William Lyons and William Walmsley—established a firm called the Swallow Sidecar Company. Soon, they pivoted to automobiles, launching a sporting saloon (i.e., sedan) called the Jaguar SS. The decision set in motion the company that would create Britain’s most beloved line of high-performance automobiles. The Complete Book of Jaguar, 2nd Edition, tells the whole story with: <ul><li>A thorough profile for every production model, presented in chronological order</li><li>Spec tables&nbsp;highlighting key technical and performance specifications and their changes across each model</li><li>Narratives by distinguished motoring historian Nigel Thorley discussing the innovations and technology featured in each model</li><li>Color photography of new and restored examples</li><li>Historical black-and-white imagery</li><li>A new chapter covering Jaguar’s commitment to an alt-fuel future with extensive up-to-date coverage of the hybrid E-PACE and F-PACE SUVs and the I-PACE EV</li></ul> As you turn the pages, follow Jaguar’s trajectory to becoming one of the world’s most celebrated automakers. In England’s bleak postwar years, the company was a shining star—first with its XK120, followed by the XK140 and XK150. Sporting sedans like the Mark 2 and Mark X set the bar for luxury four-door transport in the ’50s and ’60s. Then Jaguar stunned the world in 1961 with the achingly beautiful E-Type, a genuine 150 mph sports car.&nbsp;Though Jaguar lost its way periodically in the modern era, it has bounded back stronger than ever in the twenty-first century with a strong lineup that includes the new F-Type sports car. The Complete Book of Jaguar, 2nd Edition, is the essential and most current guide to one of the truly iconic marques in the history of sports and luxury automobiles. Filled with photos and data-packed spec charts, Motorbooks’ Complete Book series presents automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts with authoritative histories celebrating their favorite vehicles. Some other subjects in the series include Corvette, Porsche 911, Ford Mustang, Ducati, BMW Motorcycles, Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Cars, and Volkswagen GTI.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also available from the series:The Complete Book of Ford Mustang, The&nbsp;Complete Book of BMW Motorcycles, The&nbsp;Complete Book of Corvette, The&nbsp;Complete Book of Porsche 911, The&nbsp;Complete Book of Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Cars, The&nbsp;Complete Book of Chevrolet Camaro, The&nbsp;Complete Book of Classic Ford Tractors, The&nbsp;Complete Book of Classic John Deere Tractors, and The Complete Book of Classic Volkswagens.
