Title: Cheddar Gorge: A Book of English Cheeses

Author: John Squire

Narrator: Robert Portal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3:34:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: History, Cooking, Non-Fiction, World

Summary:

Where can you read about a monstrous cheese big enough to hold a girl of 13 inside? Or that the invention of the bicycle directly, and poorly, impacted sales of cheddar? Or that some of the first cheese makers hid gold coins inside their wheels of dairy as a sales tool?

Brethren, the writer calls you this because he hopes that you are cheese-minded like himself.

This classic and charming book, a timeless love letter to English cheeses was first published in 1937, newly rediscovered and charmingly illustrated by EH Shepard. It is a treasure trove of wonderful anecdotes including the tale of the monstrous cheese big enough to hold a 13-year-old inside, the Stilton that purred like a cat and the famous cheesemaker in Manchester who selected which Cheshire cheese to sell based on where the mice had been nibbling as they were the best judges of a good cheese.

Sir John Squire, a notable journalist of the time, collected together a galaxy of talent, with the aim of making this one of the most delightful and entertaining gift books that has ever been published. Each of the distinguished ten contributors champion an individual cheese, setting forward their passionate and compelling arguments, celebrating the differences and delights of each type. Through their explorations, the chequered beauties of the English landscape unfolds.

It will certainly whet the appetite for English cheese, for that is ultimately what matters most, as after all the only way to learn about cheese is to eat it.

Title: Start Again: How We Can Fix Our Broken Politics

Author: Philip Collins

Narrator: Philip Collins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:15:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Politics, Public Policy, Political Ideologies

Summary:

The bible for The Independent Group and many others Nick Robinson, Today Programme

Start Again is a life-raft for all those who find themselves politically adrift and a rallying cry for a better kind of politics

Britain is today divided old against young, class against class, region against region, nativist against cosmopolitan, rich against poor and London against the rest. Our country is divided by generation, by education, by place and by attitude.

Politics needs to be turned off and started again.

In this time of tumult, when Britain is wrestling with the question of what sort of nation it wishes to be, its politics is stuck.

Power is hoarded by a distant and unresponsive centre and our two largest political parties have both been captured by those on their outer edges.

Too many of us have been left politically homeless.

In Start Again, Philip Collins, Times journalist and until recently a lifelong Labour voter, offers a road map to a different political destination. It is a road map that, in recent days, has been taken up by many from both sides of the political divide.

Drawing on lessons from history Collins proposes new answers to todays most urgent questions: questions of education, work, health, housing, security, nationhood, and of how we can achieve a better future.

Hopeful, indignant and inspirational, this is a book for anyone who feels that politics no longer speaks to them.

Title: Up: My Lifes Journey to the Top of Everest

Length: 7:10:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-18

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Summary:

My eyes lifted to the horizon and the unmistakable snowy outline of Everest.

Everest, the mountain of my childhood dreams. A mountain that has haunted me my whole life. A mountain I have seen hundreds of times in photographs and films but never in real life.

In April 2018, seasoned adventurer Ben Fogle and Olympic cycling gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, along with mountaineer Kenton Cool, took on their most exhausting challenge yet climbing Everest for the British Red Cross to highlight the environmental challenges mountains face. It would be harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure as they walked the fine line between life and death 8,000 metres above sea level.

For Ben, the seven-week expedition into the death zone was to become the adventure of a lifetime, as well as a humbling and enlightening journey. For his wife Marina, holding the family together at home, it was an agonising wait for news. Together, they dedicated the experience to their son, Willem Fogle, stillborn at eight months.

Cradling little Willem to say goodbye, Ben and Marina made a promise to live brightly. To embrace every day. To always smile. To be positive and to inspire. And from the depths of their grief and dedication, Bens Everest dream was born.

Up, from here the only way was Up.

Part memoir, part thrilling adventure, Ben and Marinas account of his ascent to the roof of the world is told with their signature humour and warmth, as well as with profound compassion.

Wildly funny THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Beguiling THE IRISH TIMES

Delightfully quirky THE IRISH INDEPENDENT

Vivian is an oddball.

An unemployed orphan living in the house of her recently deceased great aunt in North Dublin, Vivian boldly goes through life doing things in her own peculiar way, whether that be eating blue food, cultivating her smell, wishing people happy Christmas in April, or putting an ad up for a friend called Penelope to check why it doesnt rhyme with antelope. But behind her heroic charm and undeniable logic, something isnt right. With each attempt to connect with a stranger or her estranged sister doomed to misunderstanding, someone should ask: is Vivian OK?

A poignant and delightful story of belonging that plays with the myth of the Changeling and takes us by the hand through Dublin. A poetic call for us all to accept each other and find the Vivian within.
