Quantick's Quite Difficult Quiz Book

Nemonte's writing is as provocative as it is inspiring' EMMA THOMPSON 'One of the most effective leaders for indigenous rights and environmental justice' LAURENE POWELL JOBS 'I'm here to tell you my story, which is also the story of my people and the story of this forest.' Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. Age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened. Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate-change activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against Big Oil, protecting over a half million acres of primary rainforest. Her message is as sharp as the spears that her ancestors wielded - honed by her experiences battling loggers, miners, oil companies and missionaries. In this astonishing memoir, she partners with her husband Mitch Anderson, founder of Amazon Frontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of Indigenous peoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself. More praise for We Will Not Be Saved: 'A radical manifesto for our times' VANESSA KIRBY 'An act of storytelling generosity' NATHALIE KELLY 'Inspiring, moving and unforgettable' ROWAN HOOPER 'Truly Inspiring and humbling' CAROLINE SANDERSON ** Publishing in the US as WE WILL BE JAGUARS**

The first memoir by an indigenous tribal leader in the Amazon, who fought Big Oil to preserve her tribe's territories, and thousands of acres of pristine rainforest.

We Will Not Be Saved

In the twelfth century, Pope Clement III declared: 'The Pope is resolved to be the lord and master of the world's game'. Yet history has proven to be much more complex.

In this epic narrative, Frederic Raphael explores the most significant moments, ideas and figures that have shaped the world's stage. He takes us on a journey through history: from the reigns of Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, to Plato and Socrates and the origins of philosophy, the turning point of World War Two and the invention of the atom bomb, and finally the social and cultural divisions of modern day. It is often a story of conflict: the rise of anti-Semitism, the tensions between science and faith, progress and strife, comedy and ruthlessness.

Thought-provoking and compelling, The World's Game weaves a tapestry of the Western world and the power struggles that have shaped it.

Tiny Little Thing

'A great comedian and an extraordinary life' - Billy Connolly Comedy legend and national treasure Janey Godley shares her extraordinary life with candour and humour as she faces cancer head-on. Janey has been a determined fighter all her life - from her tough Glasgow childhood to becoming the much-loved comedian she is now. It was the strength she needed to survive as a sweary-mouthed woman in the male-dominated comedy clubs of the 1990s. She needed it again when she brought a case against the uncle who'd abused her as a child. A terrifying ordeal - but she won. From rocky beginnings, Janey started to gain big audiences at home and internationally. Awards rolled in for her acting and writing too. She was at her height, and with a soaring online following for her hilarious political voice-overs, when in 2021 hurtful, historic tweets were unearthed which shook her to the core. In the eye of the media storm, her spirit was nearly broken, but her fanbase stayed strong. At the end of the long sell-out tour which followed she received the devastating news she had ovarian cancer. Her future hung in the balance, but even in treatment, a new tour went ahead, called Not Dead Yet. Janey now faces her fears head on and shares the tumultuous journey she's on, continuing to find humour even in her darkest moments. Inspiring, funny, open-hearted, Janey celebrates everything this hilarious and defiant woman is - against the odds - and confirms just why we'll never want her to shut up.

The Woman That Won't Shut Up

JANEY

As I got out of the Bentley I heard a loud bang. At first I thought it was a car backfiring, but then I saw a man standing about 10 feet away from me, pointing a gun. Then there was another bang, and by now I thought it was a joke. The guy didn't say anything, but I could see that he was shaking like a leaf, obviously a bag of nerves. It all happened very quickly. There were two more bangs, and whereas the first couple of shots had missed me, the next one didn't. I felt a sudden, excruciating pain in my left side. My jacket sleeve was already sticky with blood, and there was a crimson stain rapidly spreading across the green tweed Armani waistcoat I was wearing. What can I say, it was the 1980s.

The story of my life would be a bloody sight shorter if the man who tried to murder me outside the Broadway Theatre in Barking on a winter's evening in 1989 had succeeded. He nearly did. Frank Warren has spent forty years working with boxing's most colourful and controversial characters. In his long-awaited autobiography, he reflects on the battles he had to win to reach the top and remain there, not least the battle to stay alive after he was shot at point-blank range in an attempted assassination in 1989. In Frank and Fearless, Warren pulls no punches, taking us behind the scenes into a world of blood and sweat, and intense relationships that all too often end in tears. Under Warren's careful stewardship, Frank Bruno, Naseem Hamed, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan and Tyson Fury all became world champions. So did Terry Marsh, the man who was later accused, and cleared, of trying to murder him. Along the way, Warren has been assaulted in a hotel room by the formidable Mike Tyson and gone toe to toe in a court room with his erstwhile partner, the flamboyant Don King. However, boxing is only part of the story that begins on a council estate in 1950s North London, where Warren first learnt how to stand up to bullies. That was how he overcame and outwitted the powerful cartel that controlled British boxing and tried to stop his career before it started, and it is why he is still around to reflect on his remarkable life. With cameo appearances from Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Pink Floyd and the Philadelphia mafia, Frank and Fearless is the unflinchingly candid and hard-hitting memoir of Britain's most famous and influential boxing promoter.
