Sinossi

"Shanghai Transformation" tells the remarkable story of how Shanghai evolved from a small fishing village into a global city and financial powerhouse. The book explores the city's complex history, examining its colonial legacy and its resurgence as an economic hub, while providing insights into globalization and cultural exchange. Shanghai's journey showcases the impact of foreign influence, local resilience, and government policies on shaping a global city. For instance, the establishment of foreign concessions in the 19th century had a profound impact on the city's development, leading to a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. The book takes a balanced approach, drawing on archival documents, academic research, and personal narratives to offer a comprehensive view of Shanghai's evolution. It starts by setting the historical context, moves through the concession era and the Chinese Revolution, and culminates in Shanghai's modern resurgence. The narrative highlights the agency of the Chinese people in shaping their city. "Shanghai Transformation" offers a lens to understand urbanization, globalization, and cultural exchange, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, urban studies, and global affairs.

    A hilarious, razor-sharp debut memoir about the moment when you realize that your friends have all grown up and left you behind, for listeners of Caitlin Moran’s How To Be A Woman, Jenny Lawson’s Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, and Kelly Williams Brown’s Adulting. 
    Isy Suttie wakes up one day in her late twenties to discover that the deal she’d struck with her friends, to put off growing up for as long as possible, had been entirely in her head. Everyone around her is suddenly into mortgages, farmers’ markets, and going off the Pill, rather than running naked into the sea or getting hammered in a country pub with eighty-year-old men.After a particularly crushing breakup precipitated by Isy’s gifting of a human-size papier-mâché penguin to her boyfriend, her dearest friend advises Isy not to worry: the next guy she meets will be The Actual One. 
     
    Heartened by this promise, Isy decides to keep delaying the onset of adulthood, whether that means standing on the side of a highway in nothing but an old fur coat and sneakers, dating a man who speaks only in rhyme, or conquering her fears of Alpine skiing by wildly overestimating her athletic ability. Insightful and laugh-out-loud funny, The Actual One is an ode to the confusing wilderness of your late twenties, alongside a quest for a genuinely good relationship . . . or at the very least, a good story to tell.

    Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?
    
    Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.
    
    Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.
