In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them - each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean, mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich. Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.

In Hungry for Change: Beyond the Paleo Diet, Niklas Gustafson offers us a thorough and detailed explanation of all aspects of the food we eat: from the vested interests of the food industry - one of the most powerful in the world - to the disastrous consequences of consuming too many refined carbohydrates and sugars. Hungry for Change provides the key elements to help us turn away from foods that potentially do us harm and, instead, to choose the most suitable foods for our body to thrive and be as healthy as possible.To help put into practice what is essentially a revolutionary change in our eating habits, the second part of the Hungry for Change contains a wide range of recipes based on an approach to nutrition that allows us to continue to evolve through more beneficial and healthier foods for our body. Whilst being healthy, these recipes are delicious and, in most cases, simple to prepare. Although the roots of the book are found in the Paleo Diet and its principles, this book goes further. Niklas Gustafson encourages us to listen to our bodies again and understand what feels good to us, without imposing norms or rules. He reminds us of the importance of rest, of contact with nature, of re-enjoying those around us, of living in a responsible way. In short, he proposes a change in our lifestyle to help us live longer, better and happier.

In Buildingsare for People: Human Ecological Design, Bill Caplan issues a clarion callfor the design/build professions to expand their concept of sustainable designto be more inclusive of the social, as well as the physical, environment. Doingso, Caplan delivers what might be regarded by some as being nothing less than amanifesto for architects to take heed about doing a better job of interlinkingpeople with ecosystems, at what he calls the “human ecological interface”.Buildings, we are reminded, are much more than physical edifices that are constructed; rather, they can transformand in some cases actually create theambient surroundings that they occupy. Buildings are for People is,as its title states, above all else about our relationships to the builtenvironments we create and inhabit. It is a guidebook for achieving positivechange in the way we reconfigure our world and our place therein. As such, itshould find prominent position on the shelf beside other likeminded and worthytomes, which challenge and encourage us all to do better.

With nearly 600 years of history, involving plots, intrigue and paranormal activity, it is surprising that no one has ever before written the definitive history of the Rye House in Hertfordshire. The Rye House – An Investigative History aims to do just that. Through meticulous research, Phil Holland has written this fascinating account, taking the reader from the House’s fifteenth-century origins, through to Tudor times when Catherine Parr spent part of her childhood there; to the Rye House Plot of 1683 – a plan to assassinate King Charles II and the Duke of York; to the widely reported paranormal activity and apparitions; and finally to the present day. The Gatehouse is all that now remains of the fifteenth-century brick-built fortified manor. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as such is protected by law. The Moated Enclosure is considered to be one of the finest examples of the period in Hertfordshire.It is hoped that this book will enthuse people about the Gatehouse and the history of the Rye House, and that they in turn will come to treasure the building and recognise its importance as a piece of our country’s history.

When Jim Lewis met the directors of the RSA Trust, thecharity responsible for the concept and the running of Enfield Island Village,in January 2015, it was to discuss the commissioning of a book that would tellthe story of the former government controlled Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF)after privatisation and closure in 1987. However, during discussions it soonbecame clear, with the impending two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of theEnfield Lock armoury, that a unique opportunity existed to link the story ofthe RSAF site with the founding of the RSA Trust. And as one Trust director putit, this is the classic story of "from swords into ploughshares". Surprising asit may seem, the story of the birth of the Enfield Lock armoury in 1816 and themethods of manufacture that then existed within the British small arms industryhas never been completely told. At the time of writing thisbook the author wanted, in the two-hundredth anniversary year of the foundingof the RSAF, to commemorate the contribution made to our armed forces by theformer workforce which, by their skills and dedication, helped keep Britainsafe during times of world instability. Also I wanted to acknowledge thecontribution made to our community by the four founding fathers of the RSATrust that has benefited so many worthwhile good causes. In a world full ofincreasingly depressing news it is uplifting to have the opportunity to writeabout a group of four local businessmen who had the vision, courage andtenacity to take on the mammoth task of rescuing a Grade II listed buildingthat no sane entrepreneur would have contemplated taking on and turn it into avibrant sustainable business for the benefit of the local community. The modelcreated pays a service charge into a limited liability company, RSA IV, whichin turn transfers the surplus to the not-for-profit RSA Trust which is thenable to fund many community good causes.

What have Evelyn Waugh, George Orwell, Peter Cook,Spike Milligan and, more recently, Chris Morris got in common? They are all Tory anarchists – which soundslike a contradiction in terms – but Peter Wilkin explains why it is not.Surelyconservatism and anarchism are opposites? Tories respect and venerate traditionwhilst anarchists want to smash the system. And how can figures as politicallydistinct as George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh be similar? Part dandy, part fogey,part anti-establishment satirist, sometime nostalgist for lost empire, the Toryanarchist is a walking contradiction, with only his distrust of allpoliticians, ideologies and utopias to keep him together. From Cobbett andSwift through to Chris Morris, The Strange Case of Tory Anarchismexplores an awkward strain of good-old-fashioned Englishness that refuses toconform.

Some of the earliest books ever written, including The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Odyssey, deal with monsters, marvels, extraordinary voyages, and magic, and this genre, known as fantasy, remained an essential part of European literature through the rise of the modern realist novel. Tracing the history of fantasy from the earliest years through to the origins of modern fantasy in the 20th century, this account discusses contributions decade by decade--from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and Lewis's Narnia books in the 1950s to J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. It also discusses and explains fantasy's continuing and growing popularity.

Looking at zoological gardens, private menageries, circuses, and natural history museums, this fascinating account explores the surprising extent of the exotic-animal trade in 19th-century England and its colonies. Filled with entertaining anecdotes-from the tiger that prowled down St. George's Street in London with a boy in its mouth and the polar bear that killed a dog in Liverpool to the kangaroos hopping around the lawns of stately homes and the boa constrictor who got loose in Tunbridge Wells-this book also shares how the animals played a key role in the project to ensure that leisure was educational. As it demonstrates how the trade was intimately connected with the tides of Empire, it will be of interest to academics and general readers alike.
