The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britains east coast grew rich on the backs of the silver darlings.Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those whove neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.

The unmissable account of the events of D-Day featuring the wartime prime ministers papers and never-seen-before documents: a must-read for anyone interested in WW2 Buy this definitive and excellent book. It is not only excellent narrative but has superb analysis as well. The combination of an eminent general and an internationally recognised academic authority on Churchill works very successfully. - 5* READER REVIEW--------Do you realise that by the time you wake up in the morning twenty thousand men may have been killed?- Winston Churchill to Clementine Churchill, 5 June 1944D-Day is rightly celebrated as a great triumph and a major turning point in the Second World War. But as Churchill knew, large-scale land and sea operations were fraught with danger and victory was not guaranteed. What would have happened if D-Day had failed? Would the outcome of the war have been different? And how much of its success was down to the leadership of one man?Churchills D-Day plunges us back in time to this knife-edge moment to witness events as they unfolded. Through documents and letters from the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge, we get a vivid sense of the tremendous risks involved in the planning and execution of Operation Overlord, the largest land, sea and air operation ever staged. This authoritative new history combines the analysis of General Richard Dannatt, one of the most respected of Britains contemporary military leaders, with the insight of Allen Packwood, one of the worlds foremost Churchill experts. Together they reveal the intricacies of Churchills thinking, the strength of his instrumental leadership, his precision planning and impeccable timing.Original, illuminating and gripping, Churchills D-Day demonstrates how the road to victory led directly from the beaches of Normandy to the streets of Berlin, ultimately securing our freedom. -------PRAISE FOR CHURCHILLS D-DAY:Well judged and well resourced . . . Dannatt is a former Chief of the General Staff, and brings a soldiers expertise to the technical digressions in the narrative; Packwood is director of the archive at Churchill College, Cambridge, which includes the wartime prime ministers papers . . .

Ghost Mountain is a mountain that appeared yesterday, changing the lives of the local people; the town drunk, a retired teacher and her dog, a young soul and his wife,an old soul. It is a story about all that is unmistably present yet never trul fathomable in our lives.

If theres any metaphor I would use for the act of writing, it would have to be listening, says Jon Fosse in A Silent Language, the lecture he delivered after being awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature. When he writes, Fosse explains, he listens for texts that exist somewhere outside of himself in order to transcribe them before they disappear. With reverence and humility, Fosse traces his relationship to writing and celebrates the capacity of language to embrace the mystery, complexity and existential uncertainty of the human experience. It is only in the silence that you can hear Gods voice, he says, offering a key to his beloved works of drama and fiction. Maybe.
