  In the mid-1990s, fresh out of high school, Nic Brown was living his childhood dream as a rock and roll drummer. Signing a major label record deal, playing big shows, hitting the charts, giving interviews in Rolling Stone, appearing on The Tonight Show—what could be better for a young artist? But contrary to expectations, getting a shot at his artistic dream early in life was a destabilizing shock. The more he achieved, the more accolades that came his way, the less sure Brown became about his path. 
   
   
   
  Only a few years into a promising musical career, he discovered the crux of his discontent: he was never meant to remain behind the drums. In fact, his true artistic path lay in a radically different direction entirely: he decided to become a writer, embarking on a journey leading him to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop, publish novels and short stories, and teach literature to college students across the country. 
   
   
   
  Bang Bang Crash tells the story of Nic Brown's unusual journey to gain new strength, presence of mind, and sense of perspective, enabling him to discover an even greater life of artistic fulfillment.

  On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to life's problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals, where four-sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air, using radial flight. With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.
  'Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations. This is a must-read book, which I heartily recommend.' ~ Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology

  Calling Una Marson: The...

  The groundbreaking story of the BBC’s first Black woman broadcaster — finally brought to light. 
  Una Marson was unstoppable—a poet whose words lit up hearts, a broadcaster who made history in 1941 as the first Black woman on the BBC, and an activist who fought fiercely for racial and gender equality. She brought Caribbean culture to the global stage, challenged prejudice head-on, and dared to imagine a better world. Yet history nearly erased her. 
  From the streets of 1920s Kingston, Jamaica, to the heart of British broadcasting during World War II, Una’s journey was one of resilience, ambition, and brilliance. She shared ideas with George Orwell, held her ground with T.S. Eliot, and used her voice to amplify the silenced while navigating a world unprepared for her genius. 
  Calling Una Marson restores this trailblazing woman to her rightful place in history. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, it celebrates her dazzling, difficult life and the legacy of courage, creativity, and justice she left behind. 
  A vital work of non-fiction biography, it places this pioneering figure among the 20th century’s most influential journalists in Britain and Europe, tracing how media and performing platforms became her tools for social change. With sharp criticism of the forces that tried to silence her, it also situates her legacy within African studies and wider cultural debates. 
  For fans of Reni Eddo-Lodge (Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Darren Chetty (The Good Immigrant), Ibram X. Kendi (How To Be an Antiracist), and Sabrina Mahfouz (These Bodies of Water).
