  Afloat: Small Boats Swell and...

  'Prose that is precise and beautiful as northern light … this book is an absolute delight' MOYA CANNON 
  Join David Gange on a seabound journey along Atlantic coasts and islands, exploring places and ways of life that have been built on small rowed or paddled boats. 
  These small boats outnumber decked ships by at least fifty to one. Yet almost all history writing is about big boats. This is a strange misrepresentation of maritime history that this book seeks to put right. From Ireland and Shetland to the Faroes and across to Greenland, Newfoundland, the US and the Caribbean, Árdras is the story of eight journeys in search of ocean-going rowed and paddled boats. 
  Gange, an award-winning historian, joins community pilgrimages to tiny islands on their saints’ days, and races and regattas that express revivals of commitment to local boats and the community ideals they sustained. Along the way he encounters whales, sharks and icebergs – as well as journeys beneath skies filled, from horizon to horizon, with tens of thousands of seabirds. 
  Small traditional boats fulfil roles in their communities unlike any other supposedly inanimate things. Often treated as living members of the family, with minds and lives of their own, they’ve been essential to many cultures’ ways of living with the seascapes that surround them. This gorgeous and lyrical book offers not only a journey into the past, but a vision of how these ways of life might inform our futures. 
  Rooted in historical geography, these expeditions and discoveries carry a literary non-fiction voice from the north and west to the americas, where sailing, recreation and sports become part of the story’s living seascapes. Nature is central to the themes and subjects throughout, and the book’s clear-eyed criticism of big-boat narratives helps make this one of the best celebrations of small traditional craft. 
  For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), Tristan Gooley (How To Read Water), Toby Carr (Moderate Becoming Good Later), Roger Deakin (Waterlog), and Will Millard (The Way of the Hermit).

  The true story of one football club's astonishing return to the top 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with Jack Grealish, John McGinn, Ollie Watkins, Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa, along with many other key figures 
  Aston Villa are Europa League champions and cementing their place among England's elite — a club utterly transformed, and still rising. 
  But not so long ago the club was staring into the abyss. Locked in a cash crisis triggered by defeat in the Championship play-off final, one of English football's most historic and successful clubs stood on the brink of financial catastrophe. 
  Waking The Giant takes you inside one of the most extraordinary revival acts in modern football, from the last-minute takeover by billionaire duo Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens which saved the club, through the promotion and equally remarkable Premier League survival inspired by boyhood supporter Dean Smith, to the return to European football under Unai Emery — and the foundations laid for the triumphs that have followed. 
  To understand how Villa lifted a European trophy and reclaimed their seat at the top table of English football, you first need to understand the journey. This is where it began. 
  It is a tale of triumph plucked from the jaws of despair, several times over, with Villa frequently defying the odds to keep climbing — a club rebuilt from the ground up, piece by piece, until the unthinkable became inevitable. 
  From club record runs to great escapes from relegation and British record transfers, this is a rollercoaster ride not to be missed. 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with:Jack GrealishJohn McGinnOllie WatkinsTyrone MingsEzri KonsaAlbert AdomahDamian Vidagany, Director of Football OperationsJesus Garcia Pitarch, former sporting directorDean Smith, former managerKeith Wyness, former CEO

  The One : The Life and Legacy of Muhammad Ali 
  A one-Man-Play by David Serero 
  The One is a powerful, intimate journey into the heart and soul of the man the world called “The Greatest.” Through riveting dialogue, poetic monologues, and emotional storytelling, David Serero brings Muhammad Ali’s voice, spirit, and humanity to life in this immersive audio experience. 
  From the streets of Louisville to the global stage, from Olympic gold to exile and redemption, The One reveals the fighter behind the legend: the faith, humor, courage, and conviction that made Ali not only a champion in the ring, but a revolutionary figure who changed the world. 
  Blending history, emotion, and theatrical performance, this audiobook captures the rhythm and music of Ali’s life: the punchlines, the poetry, and the pain of a man who stood tall against every obstacle. 
  Whether you know him as a boxer, a hero, or a symbol of freedom, The One invites you to hear Muhammad Ali like never before: raw, honest, and unforgettable. 
  This powerful production, which premiered in Off-Broadway, New York, in 2024, explores the iconic boxer's life, struggles, and triumphs, tracing his journey from Cassius Clay to becoming a global symbol of resilience, activism, and the champion of champions. 
  Serero, known for his bold storytelling and transformative performances, takes on the complex character of Ali, blending drama, history, and intimate reflection to capture the essence of the boxer’s persona. THE ONE delves into critical moments from Ali's career, his battles inside and outside the ring, and the personal sacrifices he made in his fight for justice, equality, and peace. “I wish to treat Ali as a Shakespearean character. He has everything that Shakespeare would love. He rose to fame, fell, then stood up again and fought against many, including himself,” said David Serero.
