  Land Rover: The Story of the Car...

  Sunday Times Bestseller 
  As quintessentially British as a plate of fish and chips or a British Bulldog, the boxy, utilitarian Land Rover Defender has become an iconic part of what it is to be British. 
  It is said that for more than half the world's population, the first car they ever saw was a Land Rover Defender. It mirrors many of our national traits, stiff upper-lipped and slightly eccentric. The car has remained relatively unchanged for nearly seven decades and has spawned an industry that includes dozens of publications, car shows, clubs, associations and even model car collectors who dedicate their lives to the Land Rover. 
  To understand this national love affair, Ben has travelled the length of the British Isles in a Defender, spending time with fellow Land Rover enthusiasts: from visiting Colonel Blashford-Snell, who crossed the jungles of the Darien Gap, to patrolling the streets of Belfast with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Ben has met folk who have converted their beloved Defenders into everything from hearses and coffee shops to works of art and fire trucks. He has travelled from the Red Wharf in Anglesey, Wales onto the Western Isles of Scotland and Islay, the island used as a testing ground by Spencer Wilks in 1947 to put several of the early Series Land Rover prototypes through their paces. 
  After 67 years and 2 million vehicles the Land Rover Defender has ceased production, and this book is a fitting tribute to this most British institution which has stood as a beacon of durability and Britishness across the world. Every Land Rover has its own unique story to tell. This is the story of the world's favourite car. 
  Land Rover by Ben Fogle, a Sunday Times bestseller, is a top choice for those interested in the history of the automotive industry, particularly the Defender's role in military and sports applications. It's a fascinating exploration of motor recreation over the decades. 
  For fans of Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration), Daniel James Brown (The Boys In The Boat), Bear Grylls (Soul Fuel), Amanda Owen (Adventures Of The Yorkshire Shepherdess), and Dermot O'Leary (The Soundtrack to My Life).

  William Stanek's Texas & the...

  Texas becomes most interesting when distance stops being treated as empty road.
  
  The Rio Grande bends through desert. Mountains rise from basin country. Limestone cliffs, remote river corridors, barrier-island coast, missions, frontier landscapes, springs, grasslands, and long drives create a state whose park worlds share scale more readily than scenery.
  
  William Stanek's Texas & the Borderlands teaches the journey through those contrasts.
  
  Big Bend may demand days. Guadalupe country asks for another relationship to mountain and desert. River, coast, and historic landscapes widen the book beyond the familiar West Texas image. The distances between them are not administrative inconvenience; they are one of the defining truths of travel here.
  
  For road travelers, hikers, families, couples, solo explorers, photographers, and readers drawn to borderland landscapes, this is Texas as a large travel world-one that rewards better choices more than higher mileage.

  The Time They Had - a true story...

  The new memoir from the author of the BBC Radio 2 Book Club Recommended Read The Tin Nose Shop. 
  When writer Don Snyder travels to Ukraine in the midst of war, he is drawn by the story of one woman: Iryna, whose husband and beloved brother volunteered to defend their country and never returned. 
  As he follows the traces of their lives – from childhood under the Soviet Union to the promise of an independent Ukraine, from first love and family life to the devastation of loss – he discovers a story that is at once deeply personal and profoundly universal. Through Iryna’s memories, the voices of those left behind, and the enduring bonds of family, a portrait emerges of a people determined to preserve their humanity in the face of violence. 
  Part love story, part war testimony, and part meditation on grief, memory, and the passing of time, The Time They Had explores what remains after everything seems to have been taken away. Set against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it is a moving account of courage, resilience, and the lives that continue long after the headlines have faded. Above all, it is a tribute to the power of love to outlast loss, and to the stories that keep the dead alive in the hearts of those who remember them.
