A "working Life" Bok
<p><b>'Ruthlessly unguarded, surgically self-parodic and infinitely funny ... An indispensable book about friendship and intimacy; I alternately laughed and shivered as I turned the pages' <i>Guardian</i></b><br/><br/>The first new poetry collection since <i>Evolution</i> from the peerless writer, activist and poet Eileen Myles,<i> a "Working Life" </i>captures the many dualities of human life: loneliness and companionship, city and country, youth and aging, travel and stasis, fear and wonder.<br/><br/><i>a "Working Life"</i> is a book rooted in the beauty of the everyday: the 'sweet accumulation' of birds outside a window, a cup of coffee and a slice of pizza, a lover's foot on the bed. These poems travel widely in planes, trains and cars around the world and by foot across the terrain of the small rooms that held us during the pandemic lockdowns. In this collection Myles shows both the beauty and ridiculousness of love and sex, articulates the immense anxieties about the future world threatened by climate change and capitalism, and also finds transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us, and in the radical human act of caring for one another and our world.<br/><br/>With humour, beauty and singular vision, <i>a "Working Life" </i>shows Eileen Myles working at the height of their poetic and philosophical powers.</p>

<b>A showcase of the world's tiniest ceramics.</b><br/><br/>Often no taller than 1-inch, miniature ceramics are much smaller than the hands that craft them.

With precise craftmanship, these artists transform clay in joyful interpretations of classic forms and techniques, shrunk down to fit on the tip of a finger, barely taller than a coin.

Civilisations- How Do We Look / The Eye Of Faith Bok
'The reigning Queen of Classics' Spectator What are civilisations? At the heart of this big question is how people have depicted the human and divine, from prehistory to the present day. Britain's most famous classicist Mary Beard asks: how have we portrayed ourselves in some of the world's earliest art? Why have these images sometimes been so contentious? Beard explores gigantic stone heads carved by the Olmec in Central America, the statues and pottery of the ancient Greeks, and the first emperor of China's terracotta army. And she explains how one ancient representation of the human body still influences (or distorts) how people in the West see their own culture, and that of others. From Angkor Wat to the Ravenna mosaics and exquisite calligraphy of Islamic mosques, all religions have wrestled with idolatry and iconoclasm. Throughout this story, Beard is concerned not only with the artists who made art, but with those who have used, viewed, or interpreted it - and asked how to look with The Eye of Faith.

Hercules! Bok
<p>Comprising a vivid and varied series of miniature biographies, revealing profiles, thought-provoking essays and a multitude of previously unknown anecdotes and quotes, <i>Hercules!: The A to Z of Elton John</i> is the perfect compendium for the casual fan or devoted connoisseur, providing a funny, comprehensive and fully alphabetised overview of the star's life and music.<br/><br/>Charting all the highs and lows, the major record releases and the significant tours, the strokes of genius and the bottoms of barrels, this insightful portrait will cover serious subjects such as Elton's battle with the media, his highly publicised addictions, his route to sobriety, his tangled love life and his struggles to come to terms with his sexuality, hair loss and temper. But, as Elton himself always does so well in the hundreds of interviews he has given over the past half-century, his stories will also be told frankly and humorously, his demons now conquered and his success unrelenting.<br/><br/>And at the heart of this book is a joyride through one of the all-time greatest musical catalogues from a brilliant, versatile, glamorous and universally loved pop superstar.</p>

The Path To Paradise Bok
<p><b>The definitive account of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long dream to reinvent American film-making, if not the entire world.</b><br/><br/>'Supremely entertaining.' <i>New York Times</i><br/><br/>'Mouth-watering . . . Sizzingly vivid and compulsive.' <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br/><br/>Having conducted hundreds of interviews with Coppola, and those who have worked closely with him, Sam Wasson weaves together an extraordinary portrait. A man who is charming, brilliant, but also plagued by restlessness, recklessness and a desire to operate perpetually at the extremes. It is a story inextricably bound up in the making of one of the greatest quixotic masterpieces ever attempted, <i>Apocalypse Now</i>. That story, already the stuff of legend, has never been fully told until this extraordinary book..</p>
