In 2008, Tom Lubbock was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and told he had only one or two years to live. In this remarkable record of those years, lived out in three-month intervals between scans, he examines the question of how to live with death in sight.As the tumour progressed, Tom engaged intensely and imaginatively with work, art, friends, and his wife and their young son, while trying to remain focused on the fact of his impending death. His tumour was located in the area of the brain associated with language, and he describes losing control over the spoken and written word and the resources he drew on to keep communicating; a struggle which brought him ever closer to the mysteries of the origin of speech. As the Independent's chief art critic, he was renowned for the clarity and unconventionality of his writing, and the same fierce intelligence permeates this extraordinary memoir. This is a book written by a man wholly engaged with life even as it ends.

Contemporary scottish artist Carol Rhodes, born in Edinburgh in 1959, has gained increasing recognition since the 1990s. Her paintings depict a semi-fictional geography, depopulated, yet shaped by the human activities of industry, habitation, forestry, landscaping, transport and quarrying. These small, psychologically charged works are at once densely representational and powerfully abstract, engaging with the nature of perception, recognition, and depiction. The first monograph on Rhodes's work, this volume contains two illuminating essays - one by the renowned art critic Tom Lubbock and the other by artist and writer Merlin James. Over thirty of her works are illustrated, charting Rhodes's development from the early 1990s.
