AT THE WATER’S EDGE
Sara Gruen
A wonderfully imagined, spellbinding tale of privilege, loss, and love from the
author of Water for Elephants
In this new novel from the bestselling author, Sara Gruen again demonstrates her
talent for creating spellbinding period pieces. At the Water’s Edge is a gripping and
poignant love story about a privileged young woman’s personal awakening as she
experiences the devastations of World War II in a Scottish Highlands village.
Madeline Hyde, a young socialite from Philadelphia, reluctantly follows her husband
and their best friend to the tiny village of Drumnadrochit in Scotland in search of the
mythical Loch Ness Monster. At the same time, a very real monster, Hitler, is waging
war against the Allied Forces. Despite German warplanes flying overhead and scarce
food rations (and even scarcer stockings), what Maddie discovers—about the larger
world and about herself—through the unlikely friendships she develops with the
villagers, opens her eyes not only to the dark forces that exist around her but to the
beauty and surprising possibilities.
Sara Gruen is the author Ape House and Water for Elephants which became
a bestseller around the world and was released to critical and box office acclaim as
a major motion film. She lives in North Carolina.

THE WOLF BORDER
Sarah Hall
From the twice Booker-nominated author, a dazzling novel that explores the most obsessive aspects of
humanity: sex, love and conflict
For almost a decade Rachel Caine has turned her back on home, kept distant by family disputes and her work
monitoring wolves on an Idaho reservation. But now, summoned by the eccentric Earl of Annerdale and his
controversial scheme to reintroduce the Grey Wolf to the English countryside, she is back in the Lake District. The
Earl’s project harks back to an ancient idyll of untamed British wilderness and the return of the Grey after hundreds of
years coincides with Rachel’s own regeneration: impending motherhood, and reconciliation with her estranged family.
The Wolf Border investigates the fundamental nature of wilderness and wildness, both animal and human. It seeks to
understand the most obsessive aspects of humanity: sex, love, and conflict; and those complex systems that govern the
most superior creature on earth.
Sarah Hall is the prize-winning author of The Carhullan Army, How to Paint a Dead Man and The Beautiful Indifference.

Why invasive species will be nature’s salvation

Many conservationists consider invasive species as evil interlopers spoiling pristine, natural ecosystems. Keeping out alien species
looks increasingly flawed. The new ecologists looking afresh at how species interact in the wild believe we should celebrate the
dynamism of alien species and the novel ecosystems they create. In an era of climate change and widespread ecological damage,
we must find ways to help nature regenerate. Embracing the new wild is our best chance.

The Interior Circuit is Goldman’s story of his emergence from grief after his wife’s death, symbolised by his attempt to overcome
his fear of driving in Mexico City. In the summer of 2013, when Mexican organized crime violence and death erupts in an
unprecedented way, he sets out to try to understand the menacing challenges the city now faces. By turns exuberant, poetic,
reportorial, philosophic, and urgent, The Interior Circuit fuses a personal journey to an account of one of the world’s most
remarkable and often misunderstood cities.
Francisco Goldman is the author of Say Her Name and The Divine Husband. He lives in Mexico.

ORIGINAL ROCKERS
Richard King
Original Rockers blends memoir and elegiac music writing to create a book that recalls the debauched glory days of the
independent record shop. Chaotic, amateurish and extravagantly dysfunctional, this is a book full of rare personalities and rum
stories. It is a book about landscape, place and the personal; the first piece of writing to treat the environment of the record shop
as a natural resource with its own peculiar rhythms and anecdotal histories.
Richard King has worked at the heart of the independent music industry for nearly twenty years. He lives in the UK.

AND THE SUN SHINES NOW
How Hillsborough and the Premier League changed Britain
Adrian Tempany
In the wake of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, unquestionably the most controversial tragedy in the post-war era of Britain’s
history, modern football has changed from being the people’s game to an elite multi-million pound business. Perhaps the most
honest account of the relationship between the football and the state yet written, And the Sun Shines Now is a brutal assessment
of the modern game and of what has been lost in the process.

SCIENTIFIC BABEL
The language of science from the fall of Latin to the rise of English
Professor Michael Gordin
In a sweeping history, from the Middle Ages through to today, Michael Gordin untangles the web of politics, money, personality
and international conflict that led to the way we communicate scientific knowledge shifting from Latin to French, German and
Russian to the English language dominated world of science we now inhabit. Intelligent, revealing and full of amazing stories,
Scientific Babel shows how the world has remade science just as much as science has transformed the world.

THE ECONOMIST: BUSINESS STRATEGY
A guide to effective decision-making
Jeremy Kourdi
The effectiveness of a good strategy well implemented determines a business’ future success or failure. Yet history is full
of strategic decisions, big and small, that were ill-conceived, poorly organised and consequently disastrous. This updated
edition looks at the whole process of strategic decision-making—from vision, forecasting, and resource allocation, through to
implementation and innovation. Its message is simple: strategy matters, and getting it right is fundamental to business success.

THE GREAT DISRUPTION
How business is coping with turbulent times
Adrian Wooldridge
Based around his popular Schumpeter columns, Adrian Wooldridge takes a look at the forces that are disrupting today’s fastmoving business world; who the winners and the losers are; how institutions have tried to change; and how classic management
problems persist, but with a new twist. The Great Disruption reminds us why Joseph Schumpeter’s ideas about creative
destruction are particularly valuable today, and why business must adapt in the face of unprecedented disruption to the world
of work.

deceit; and what we might recover from those who have stolen from us.

THE EARTH
From myths to knowledge
Hubert Krivine
Are we entitled to say that Earth is 4.55 billion years old, and its trajectory an ellipse centred on the Sun? Most educated
people would say yes. Curiously, however, the fact that these assertions constitute scientific truths is often perceived, especially
by postmodernists, as naïve, improper or even wrong. Against the fashionable relativist idea that science is no more than
a socially constructed doxa, this straightforward yet highly vigorous book rehabilitates a supposedly outdated, naïvely realist
notion—scientific truth.
Hubert Krivine is a physicist and author of several books on modern physics. He lives in France.

A nocturnal history of London
Matthew Beaumont
Before the age of the gas lamp, the city at night was home to the lost, the vagrant and the insomniac. This brilliant work of

perambulations of poets, novelists and thinkers from Shakespeare, to the ecstatic strolls of William Blake, the feverish urges of
opium addict De Quincey, as well as the master night walker, Charles Dickens.

1864
The forgotten war that shaped modern Europe
Tom Buk-Swienty, translated by Annette Buk-Swienty
The Battle of Dybbol, 1864. Prussian troops lay siege to an outpost in the far south of Denmark. The struggle for Schleswig
foreshadowed the same forces that, fifty years later, would tear Europe apart. Prussia’s victory would not only rejuvenate its
militarism, but help it claim leadership of the new German Empire. Told in rich detail through first-hand accounts, 1864 is a
gripping, epic human drama that shows the effect all wars have on those who must live its realities.
Tom Buk-Swienty is a Danish journalist and history writer. 1864 formed the basis for the biggest Danish TV production in history
from the makers of Borgen, The Killing and The Bridge.
