    'Original and beautifully written' GUARDIAN


Gillian Darley takes us on a vivid, personal tour, from the seaside piers to the empty marshes and the New Town tower blocks, revealing a landscape and a story like no other.


Alongside Essex Man and TOWIE, there's the Essex that nurtured the first Puritan settlers in America, that welcomed refugees from Europe, fugitives from the underworld and bombed-out EastEnders. Where dreamers and makers, punk poets, anarchist sects and inventors all found inspiration.


A Colchester nurseryman was the first to trade with a secretive Eastern Kingdom. Braintree's only earthquake inspired an innovative building system. In Epping, a spat over firewood led to an historic victory for the common people. In Essex, the clash between city and countryside, capital and province, created a shower of sparks that ultimately set the world on fire.


Drawing on everything from early maps to reality TV, Excellent Essex is no guide book, but a wonderful guide to England's most misunderstood county.

    Surviving Life’s Most Brutal StormsAs a World Series-winning pitcher with the San Francisco Giants, Jeremy Affeldt stared down all kinds of pressure. But none compared to the stress he faced in his personal life, when things completely fell apart. He learned that going it alone in a crisis is like trying to pitch without a catcher—there’s no one to help with the next pitch or advise you on the curveballs.In Built for the Storm, Affeldt shares his personal story—including pitching with double vision in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series—and the lesson he’s learned: It’s better to find your herd—a small group of friends who are there for you whenthe next storm hits. It’s called the “buffalo mentality”—a mindset to run toward the storm, rather than away from it. Not because the storm isn’t terrifying, but because it is. And when we face the storm and move into it, there’s a good chance we’ll get through it faster. Especially together. That’s the buffalo mentality. That’s built for the storm.

    "It cost me everything. I would do it all over again."  
In Life Wild Open, a powerful and evocative memoir, the author takes readers on a journey from the tight-knit streets of lower-income United Kingdom housing to the far-flung corners of Asia and the vast highways of America. 
At sixteen, she left home with nothing but a backpack and a scrap of paper written in a language she couldn't read. She handed it to a taxi driver in a foreign city and trusted he'd take her where she needed to go. That leap of faith led to twenty years in Southeast Asia as a missionary and business owner, navigating cultural shocks and building a life in villages most maps don't mark. 
She learned early that life doesn't wait for permission. She held out for love, married in her early thirties, and thought she'd found forever. Overnight, she became a widowed immigrant in a country she barely knew, with no family and nowhere to go. Homeless. Alone. Starting over from nothing. 
When life demanded she rebuild, she climbed into an eighteen-wheeler-80,000 pounds of steel and a woman who refused to stay down. She found love again in the most unexpected places. And she learned that survival isn't enough. You can choose to thrive, even when nothing is guaranteed. 
Life Wild Open is a testament to the wisdom of instinct, the power of radical acceptance, and the beauty of living with hands open to whatever the road may bring.
