  When Derek Yu released Spelunky for free in 2008, his roguelike-inspired platformer took the indie game community by storm with its combination of classic platform mechanics, extreme difficulty, and random level generation. Four years later, Spelunky's HD remake went on to become PC Gamer's Game of the Year and earn perfect scores from Polygon and Eurogamer. But how is a "perfect" game made? 
   
    
   
  Spelunky is Boss Fight's first autobiographical book: the story of a game's creation as told by its creator. Using his own game as a vehicle, Derek Yu discusses such wide-ranging topics as randomization, challenge, indifferent game worlds, player feedback, development team dynamics, and what's required to actually finish a game. Grab some ropes, a mattock, and your favorite pug—this book is going to dig deep.

  A playful, thoughtful, and delicious A to Z of M.F.K. Fisher’s food writing.In An Alphabet for Gourmets, M.F.K. Fisher creates a wide-ranging, whimsical, and profound miscellany of food that moves readers from A (for dining alone) to Z (zakuski, the classic accompaniments to a shot of Russian vodka), traversing a broad swath of human history, taste, and sensation along the way. Fisher’s mercurial, searching prose and her inimitable sense of the unique and idiosyncratic aspects of our daily fare are on radiant display in this abecedary of flavor, sense, and history.

  Northerners: A History from the...

  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).
