From the Garden of Eden to Gethsemane, from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the pleasure gardens of Versailles, from the Zen gardens of Kyoto to the landscapes of Capability Brown and New Yorks High Line, the garden has always been far more than somewhere to grow things.It is where humanity has worked out its relationship with the natural world the place where culture, spirituality and nature converge. An inspiration for poets, painters and philosophers across four thousand years and every civilisation on earth. In this magnificent work of scholarship, one of our greatest literary critics and cultural historians takes us on an extraordinary journey through the gardens of both the world and the human imagination. Sweeping in scope and ambition, this sumptuous and richly illustrated book reveals the garden as a place where we have always worked out our deepest longings for beauty, order, innocence and belonging. Drawing on poetry, painting, philosophy, mythology and religion from Ovid and the Song of Solomon to Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson he shows how the garden has inspired our greatest art and consoled us in our darkest hours. Here is the space where, as Andrew Marvell wrote, we may annihilate all thats made / To a green thought in a green shade that perfect, paradoxical stillness in which the mind empties itself into nature and finds itself restored. Gardening is the most popular leisure activity in Britain. More than 27 million of us tend a plot, a window box, a rooftop or a patch of earth. Illustrated with more than 150 beautiful images, this book reminds us that it is to the garden, private and public, that we turn for solace, sustenance and sanity. It is a reminder that wherever we human beings have settled, we have reached, instinctively, towards the garden.

Houdini was quick to grasp the concept of entertainer as brand, where fame was an aim in itself. When others stole his act, he published a book of his handcuff secrets and quickly moved on to more extravagant escapes. He arranged many escapes with local merchants in the towns he visited on tour, in early mass tie-in marketing, and set up challenges with newspapers. He created his own magazine; became the president of Martinka & Co., Americas oldest magic tricks company; served nine successive terms as president of the Society of American Magicians; created his own unique escapes including the Chinese Water Torture and the Milk Can Escape; launched his own film career; and even became the first man to fly in an airplane in Australia. His debunking of fraudulent spiritualists gave him yet another outlet to promote his own fame while pursuing a righteous crusade. Houdini pioneered almost every marketing concept of the 20th century, but didnt live beyond its first quarter, dying on 31 October 1926 in controversial circumstances. This new study, timed for the centenary of his death, explores his unique life and position as both escapologist and marketing extraordinaire.

What story should Britain tell about itself?In recent years it has become fashionable to tell a certain kind of story about Britain. At its least offensive, this story emphasises the worst aspects of our nations past while neglecting the best. At its most damaging, it denies or distorts the very fabric of Britains collective inheritance.Our Islands Story tells an altogether more honest, complex and hopeful story about Britain. In this engaging and hugely erudite collaboration between two leading thinkers of Britains historical legacy, Nigel Biggar and Robert Tombs draw on the full depth of our national experience to offer a powerful antidote to contemporary cynicism, and mount a vital self-defence.Though not without fault, they argue, Britain is what we have the best that generations of people have managed to create. Not perfect, but real, unique, precious and worth defending.
