  A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
  Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
  
  "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
  "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
  "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
  "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
  "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
  "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
  "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
  "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
  "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX

  Chrysalis - Maria Sibylla Merian...

  Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. 
  An artist turned naturalist, Merian was born just 16 years after Galileo proclaimed that the Earth orbited the sun. But at the age of 50, she sailed from Europe to South America on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. 
  When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the 19th century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” 
  Chrysalis takes us from golden age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. The New Yorker called it a "spellbinding biography." In it, Kim Todd brings to life a 17th century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.

  This is the story of how an American teenager became the youngest person ever to build a working nuclear fusion reactor. 
  By the age of nine, Taylor Wilson had mastered the science of rocket propulsion. At eleven, his grandmother’s cancer diagnosis drove him to investigate new ways to produce medical isotopes. And by fourteen, Wilson had built a 500-million-degree reactor and become the youngest person in history to achieve nuclear fusion. How could someone so young achieve so much, and what can Wilson’s story teach parents and teachers about how to support high-achieving kids? 
  In The Boy Who Played with Fusion, science journalist Tom Clynes narrates Taylor’s extraordinary journey—from his Arkansas home where his parents fully supported his intellectual passions; to a unique Reno, Nevada, public high school just for academic superstars; to the present, when now nineteen-year-old Wilson is winning international science competitions with devices designed to prevent terrorists from shipping radioactive material into the country. Along the way, Clynes reveals how our education system shortchanges gifted students—and what we can do to fix it.
