  The charming and joyful follow-up book from ‘the nation’s taster in chief,’ Felicity Cloake. 
  If there’s one thing that truly unites Britain, from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, St Ives to St Pancras, it’s an obsession with breakfast. 
  We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation’s favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other. 
  Eaten with as much relish in The Wolseley on Piccadilly as in Glasgow’s University Cafe, Britain loves nothing more than a good breakfast. The only question is: what do you have with yours? 
  In RED SAUCE BROWN SAUCE, Felicity Cloake, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief, combines her love for cycling and cooking to present a unique travelogue. She explores the best of British breakfasts, from the Welsh desi breakfast to the Scottish stottie cake, making it a top pick for food and travel enthusiasts. 
  For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).

  Imperial Japan - Expansion World...

  The rise of Imperial Japan is a remarkable story of transformation and ambition. It was a journey from isolation to global power, marked by rapid modernization, industrialization, and an expanding empire. At the start of the 19th century, Japan was still a feudal society, deeply rooted in its traditional ways, with the Tokugawa shogunate governing the country in relative peace for over two centuries. However, Japan’s world would change forever when the United States, under Commodore Matthew Perry, forced the country to open its ports in 1854 after a period of strict isolation. 
  This marked the beginning of the Meiji Restoration in 1868, a pivotal event that reshaped Japan’s destiny. The Meiji Restoration was a time of intense reform, where Japan sought to modernize in order to survive and compete with the Western powers. The young Emperor Meiji played a crucial role in transforming Japan from a feudal society into a centralized, modern state. The Japanese government adopted Western methods of governance, education, and technology, while also developing a new sense of national pride and unity. The feudal system was dismantled, and Japan was rapidly industrialized, building a powerful military and a burgeoning economy. 
  The Meiji government’s aggressive modernization policies allowed Japan to catch up with the West in terms of technological and military advancements. Railroads, factories, and telegraphs quickly spread throughout the country. The education system was restructured, producing a new generation of skilled workers and intellectuals who were eager to contribute to Japan’s growing power. By the late 19th century, Japan had established a modern, strong economy capable of competing on the world stage.

  Acclaimed writer David Smart illuminates the fascinating life of Royal Robbins—in all its soulful ambition, rivalry, and romance. Royal Robbins chronicles his early years growing up as a latchkey kid in Southern California, the push and pull between being an aspiring banker or one of the original Camp 4 dirtbags, and his later decades as a father, husband, kayaker, and the trailblazing founder of the outdoor apparel company that bears his name. This intimate, colorful tour of climbing history covering Yosemite, the Tetons, the Gunks, the Alps, the United Kingdom, and more from the 1960s onward features star characters such as Liz Robbins—Robbins's wife and a pioneering adventurer in her own right—Yvon Chouinard, John Harlin, Steve Roper, Warren Harding, Tom Frost, and Doug Tompkins. 
   
   
   
  An important addition to our knowledge of the Golden Age of rock climbing in Yosemite and the development of the clean climbing ethos, Royal Robbins sheds new light on an elemental figure of outdoor culture.
