Sinopse

Forks and Culture explores the surprising history of the fork, revealing how this seemingly simple utensil reflects significant shifts in cultural norms and social dynamics. From its ancient origins to its global dominance, the book traces the fork's evolution, highlighting its role as a status symbol and its impact on dining etiquette. For example, the fork's initial association with extravagance and effeminacy in Europe demonstrates how cultural values shape the acceptance of new technologies.

 
The book examines the fork's journey across different eras and regions, from ancient civilizations to the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. It analyzes how industrialization influenced fork design and affordability, leading to its widespread adoption. Forks and Culture uses archaeological findings, historical texts, and visual evidence to illustrate the fork's transformation.

 
The book moves beyond a historical account to explore the symbolic meanings, interdisciplinary connections, and broader implications for society. By exploring the fork's cultural history, the book offers insights into globalization, technology, and the evolution of social norms. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how a single utensil can reveal much about ourselves and our world.

    A Waterstones Best History Book of the Year 
    The bestselling history of the North of England as told through the lives of its inhabitants. 
    ‘Entertaining’ The Times 
    ‘Definitive’ The Mirror 
    ‘Highly readable’ Financial Times 
    A work of unrivalled scale and ambition, Northerners is the defining biography of northern England. 
    This authoritative new history of place and people lays out the dramatic events that created the north – waves of migration, invasions and battles, and transformative changes wrought on European culture and the global economy. In a sweeping narrative that takes us from the earliest times to the present day, the book shows that the people of the north have shaped Britain and the world in unexpected ways. 
    At least six Roman emperors ruled from York. The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was Europe’s leading cultural and intellectual centre. Cartimandua, Queen of the Brigantes, deserves to be as famous as Boudica. Neanderthals and Vikings, Central European Jews, African-Caribbeans and South Asians, have all played their part in the making and remaking of the north. Northern writers, activists, artists and comedians are celebrated the world over, from Wordsworth, the Brontes and Gaskell to LS Lowry, Emmeline Pankhurst and Peter Kay. St Oswald and Bede shaped the spiritual and cultural landscapes of Britain and Europe, and the world was revolutionised by the inventions of Richard Arkwright and the Stephensons. The north has exported some of sport’s biggest names and defined the sound of generations, from the Beatles to Britpop. 
    Northerners also shows convincingly how the past echoes down the centuries. The devastation of factory and pit closures in the 1980s, for example, recalled the trauma of William the Conqueror’s Harrying of the North. The book charts how the north-south divide has ebbed and flowed and explores the very real divisions between northerners, such as the rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire. 
    Finally, Brian Groom explores what northernness means today and the crucial role the north can play in Britain’s future. As new forces threaten the fabric of the UK again, this landmark book could scarcely be more timely. 
    This historical masterpiece by Brian Groom is a top pick for those who appreciate a deep dive into the social fabric of northern England. It's not just an autobiography of a region, but a travel through time, revealing the popular narratives and untold stories that have shaped its identity. 
    For fans of Emma Bennett (The Bristol and Bath Art Book), Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Alice Loxton (UPROAR!), Robin Ince (Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal), and Jonn Elledge (A History of the World in 47 Borders).

    Strategic leadership is the art of creating the future before it arrives, and the science of transforming vision into a reality capable of surviving in environments that change faster than organizations can adapt. It is an advanced mental framework in which the leader moves beyond daily management to build long-term roadmaps, reshape resources, and create a lasting competitive advantage that drives the organization toward excellence. 
    Strategic leadership blends imagination with realism; it sees what others cannot, yet it is grounded in deep data analysis, anticipation of threats and opportunities, and the formulation of calculated decisions where risks are managed consciously and impact is crafted intelligently. 
     The strategic leader does not wait for events—he shapes them. He does not treat crises as reactions, but prepares the organization to overcome them before they occur. He builds teams capable of innovation, unleashes human potential, and fosters a culture that believes in continuous development. 
    In a world where economics, technology, politics, and security are tightly intertwined, strategic leadership has become a necessity for survival. It is the compass that ensures organizational continuity, the engine of growth that enables competitiveness, and the foundation upon which long-term success systems are built.

    I'm Not Mad (Anymore)

    A fiercely funny, feminist debut about mental health, motherhood and female rage, for fans of Caitlin Moran, Celeste Barber and Tanya Hennessy. 
     
    Bron Lewis is one of Australia’s most beloved comedians, regularly appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention? and Thank God You’re Here. No stranger to madness – from watching her mother smash a casserole dish through the family dining table while going through ‘the change’, to finding herself singing Tina Arena’s ‘Chains’ at the top of her lungs in public to drown out the sound of her babies’ cries – Bron has experienced her fair share of dark nights of the soul. 
     
    Bron was taught as a child, like most other young girls, that it’s expected for women to go mad. When we see a woman lose her footing and, for example, yell ‘MOTHERHOOD IS WAY HARDER THAN THEY BLOODY SAY IT IS’ at a pregnant stranger through four lanes of traffic, we usually look away, laugh into our collars, and thank Christ-on-a-bike that we aren’t as mad as she is. 
     
    If you’ve ever cringed as you watched your mum stumble dramatically through hot flushes, or soiled your pants in Kmart, or found yourself struggling through the seemingly unending chapter of becoming a new mum, then this is the book for you. Watch Bron spiral into rage and out of it so you can avoid the same fate. 
     
    I’m Not Mad (Anymore) sheds light on the mental struggles women go through silently, from post-natal depression and anxiety to menopause and all the muck in between. 
     
    You will laugh, cry and look at your mum in a whole new light.
