  Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have. But we're not talking about a story as a nice-to-have or an occasional distraction from the real work you do. We’re talking about story as the backbone and the underlying structure, and story as a way of ordering your thoughts and connecting with those around you.
  If you want to make the most of every page on your website, every email to your clients and every conversation on site, this is the guidebook you need. It gives you a simple, flexible structure to tell the stories of your practice, your projects, your process, and your team. And, more than that, it reframes writing not as a chore but as an act of clarity and connection.
  The Storytelling Manual for Architects is a short, practical book with a very human mission – to help you find common ground, convey your worth, and show your clients the difference you can make. It’s a heartfelt manifesto for a better way to write and talk about what you do.
  Juliette Mitchell set up Architypal, a writing consultancy for architects, after many years as an editor at Penguin Books. The Storytelling Manual for Architects is both her step-by-step messaging strategy and her personal act of resistance in the face of AI and things to come.
  
  ‘It’s a great little book – both succinct and spirited!’ Ceri Davies, director at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris
  ‘This book is so good, I don’t want to recommend it to other architects. I want to keep it all to myself.’ Lee Holmes, associate director at Wainwrights
  ‘Joyous, loving, accessible, practical, and just what the doctor ordered.’ Barbara Iddon, co-author of Blueprints for the Soul: Why we need emotion in architecture
  ‘I devoured about 80% of it in the first sitting. Full of good and clear ideas.’ Paul Sheeran, principal at Architexture
  ‘Part guidebook, part pep talk, part love letter to clearer, kinder architectural communication. Practical, readable, and quietly radical.’ Simon Drayson, director at George & James Architects

  A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
   
   
   
  Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
   
   
   
  There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.

  Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Classic! 
   
   
   
  In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment. 
   
   
   
  Braided through the larger story are tales of gold prospectors and the cabin they built sixty years ago; John Muir and his intrepid terrier, Stickeen; and a dynamic geology professor who teaches earth science "as if every day were a geological epoch." 
   
   
   
  Nearly two million people come to Alaska every summer, some on large cruise ships, some in single kayaks—all in search of the last great wilderness, the Africa of America. It is exactly the America Heacox finds in this story of paradox, love, and loss.

  Gardening Can Be Murder - How...

  This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries
