  From a bag of chips to cod confit: a tour of twenty English seaside resorts What is it about the English seaside that drives us in our millions to stroll the promenades of the plethora of resorts we have in this country? How can we understand the allure of the gaudy and raucous funfair, sand in our toes and fish and chips in our hands. Or is it, in the words of Charles Dickens, the ocean that draws us in ‘winking in the sunlight like a drowsy lion’. 
  When the author discovered that his home town had come bottom in a ‘Which?’ review of the best to worst seaside resorts in the UK, not once, or twice, but for three years on the trot, it spurred him on to go on his own tour of these resorts.
  He finds a wealth of fascinating histories, eccentricities and English quirkiness, mixed up with deep-seated problems of poverty, poor health and uncertain futures. But he also discovers that our resorts are diverse places, reinvigorated by creative thinking, new entrepreneurship and fresh investment.
  Our English seaside resorts are alive and well, carefully curating their brands and images, seeking out new ideas and funding and using the skills and abilities of their residents to drive changes with local impact.
  This book will encourage you to make your own visits and learn a little about the seaside resort, a curiously English creation that we all inspired, abandoned and then re-discovered.

  From the Mountain’s Edge: A True...

  A True Story Of Risk, Resilience and Survival 
  After a life-changing neck injury left him paralysed, Ed Jackson defied the odds to walk again. Driven by a renewed perspective on life and determination to push his limits, Ed set out to climb Himlung Himal—a 7,126-meter peak deep in Nepal’s Himalayas. But as the climb unfolded, what began as a daring expedition quickly became a test of survival. 
  Joined by fellow climbers Ben, Beetle, Arron, and their guide Bigraj, Ed faced extreme conditions—treacherous glaciers, near-misses, and snowstorms that prevented the team from summiting. When altitude sickness forced Ben to turn back, Ed made a fateful decision just meters from the top, realising that success wasn’t about reaching the summit but knowing when to stop. As they descended, the true danger revealed itself. 
  Stranded on the side of the mountain with no shelter, minimal food and water, and fading hope, the team endured a harrowing night, unsure if rescue would ever come. Isolated in the freezing wilderness, they confronted not only the unforgiving elements but their own fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities. With Bigraj’s courageous efforts and a helicopter rescue arriving the next day, the climbers narrowly escaped with their lives. 
  From the Mountain’s Edge is more than a tale of adventure. It’s a powerful story of resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity, the bonds forged through teamwork, and the courage it takes to recognise when a goal has stopped serving you. As Ed reflects on the perilous journey and the emotional toll it took, this book becomes a profound meditation on the strength it takes to walk away—and the lessons that come from facing life’s greatest challenges head-on. 
  Ed Jackson's From the Mountain’s Edge is a Sunday Times bestselling book that chronicles his journey from paralysis to scaling the Himalayas. This inspirational autobiography is a powerful blend of mountaineering, travel, and self-help, making it a must-read for those seeking motivation and a fresh perspective on life. 
  For fans of Sophie L Morgan (Driving Forwards), Nims Purja (Beyond Possible), Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration), and Jerry Grayson (Film Pilot).
