Book excerpt: It is 1949, and 15-year-old Tyneside boy John Burton has become a whaler. Unhappy at his parents' separation, he finds a job as a galley boy on an oil tanker. Abused by his boss and surviving a near-drowning incident, he returns home with a less idealised view of life at sea. But a year later he joins the giant whale factory ship Southern Venturer. Over the eight-month whaling season he grows up among hardened whalers. Violence is never far away among the 300-strong crew, but it is nothing in comparison to the horror of the whale kill. In sub-zero temperatures the Venturer's crew wade ankle-deep in warm whale blood, climbing whale carcasses in spike-soled, leather thigh-boots to carve them up for processing in what is known as 'hell's kitchen'. Learning who to trust becomes a matter of survival, as the wonders of the sea - in the shape of icebergs, penguins, jelly fish and the whales themselves - present themselves in both deadly and humorous form to the young whaler. As the voyage ends, so too has his 'old' life. Years later he comes to see his whaling experience differently, and questions the carnage of which he was part. Seeing Greenpeace activists on TV, cutting across the bows of Japanese whaling ships, awakens his sense of the injustice of whaling, and leads him to work with Greenpeace. John's experiences as a whaler turned campaigner brings him aboard the Rainbow Warrior. He then finds himself on another journey - to a remote Indonesian island where he meets men who still hand-hunt whale. While there, his mother - the person who pushed him away to sea in the first place - dies, and he returns for her funeral. The family story that started in 1949 has come full circle - with more than just demons and guilt laid to rest. This story is written by one of the few people who can recall first-hand a way of life that was already becoming history in the early 1960s, and as such, is unlikely ever to be told ever again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Urgent and moving.”—Publishers Weekly ★ An elegant blend of "polemic, industrial history, nautical writing, elegy and ecology" (The Scotsman), The Two-Headed Whale charts the tragic history of the post-war whaling industry alongside the author's thrilling memoir of sailing the Antarctic. In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on an epic six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica. At the mid-way stop in South Georgia, her pristine image of the Antarctic was shattered when she discovered the dark legacy of twentieth century industrial-scale whaling. Enraged by what she found, she was quick to blame the men who undertook this wholescale slaughter, but then she stumbled upon the grave of an eighteen-year-old whaler from Edinburgh who she could not allow to bear the brunt of blame. There are two sides to every story. The Two-Headed Whale vividly brings to life the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the vast Southern Oceans, set alongside the true-life story of Anthony Ford, the boy in the grave, as he sailed the same seas and toiled in an industry where profits outranked human life. Drawing together threads of nature and travel writing with an unflinching narrative of life aboard a whaling factory ship and the legacy it left behind, The Two-Headed Whale leaves us questioning our troubled relationship with the extraordinary abundance of this planet. Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.

Book excerpt: "At last. At last this very important book has been written... It will empower legions of women to step into their greatness.' ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE 'One of the most important books in my life. If you want to achieve anything, or simply be less stressed, this book will help you do it. In it you will find your voice, your ability, your self-confidence and perhaps even your mission in life. Buy it. Pass it on.' SHIRLEY CONRAN The groundbreaking book that gives every woman the practical skills they need to begin PLAYING BIG. Five years ago, Tara Mohr began to see a pattern in her work as an expert in leadership: women with tremendous talent, ideas and aspiration were not recognising their own brilliance. They felt that they were playing small' in their lives and careers and wanted to play bigger', but didn't know how. And so Tara devised a step-by-step programme for playing big from the inside out: this book is the result. Many women are aware of the changes they need to make to be more successful, but they don't know how to become that more confident woman they'd like to be. Playing Big provides real, practical to

Book excerpt: The ""Search for Tara"" is an intiguing and relatively modern tale of two young Americans, Linda Ryan and Joseph Garcia, who travel around Ireland on a quest inspired by Linda's grandmother. Though romantic, and very personal in it's first-person and introspective telling by Linda, a fair amount of Irish history and culture are woven in seamlessly along the way. At times in the story, however, Linda's and Joseph's own differing cultural and familial backgrounds collide with their budding romance. That is a conflict not entirely resolved in the story even into the last chapter. Then comes a unexpected but solidifying twist (no peeking allowed!).

Book excerpt: Meet the Naughty Princess Club: a brand new series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that introduces readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that ensue when three women start a new business to make it rain. Once upon a time Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the President of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money...and the babysitter. Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo. But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince that has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after? At the Stroke of Midnight is a hilarious, empowering story where princesses can save themselves while slaying in stilettos.
