  ‘Enlightening, moving’ SIR IAN MCKELLEN 
  From the acclaimed and bestselling biographer Jonathan Bate, a luminous new exploration of Shakespeare and how his themes can untangle comedy and tragedy, learning and loving in our modern lives. 
  ‘The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.’ 
  How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind? 
  Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own ‘permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life – losses and challenges – and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times. 
  This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another. 
  Bate's autobiography is not just a collection of his experiences, but a study of how Shakespeare's themes have permeated through history and continue to resonate in our lives. His criticism of the tragedies and existential questions we face, and his teaching of how to navigate through them, is a top literary work that transcends the English language. 
  For fans of Stephen Greenblatt (Will In The World), and Ben Crystal (Shakespeare on Toast).

  Unfinished Concrete: An Audio-Anthology of Miami Voices is a collection of poems, stories, micro-essays, and conversations that speak to and from Miami’s neighborhoods—each one a unique place with its own sounds, sights, and rhythms. The storytellers in this anthology grapple with the complexity that comes from a lifetime in a place and all the attending struggles and victories—the deep love and unspeakable sorrow—the well-worn aches and the inveterate joys. While the result is a rich narrative of the current moment in Miami-Dade county, these stories speak, too, of the personal and structural histories that have led to this moment, to these stories and experiences. In this way, the individual stories in Unfinished Concrete manage to piece together a mosaic of Miami that speaks to an authentic lived experience. 
  About the Publisher: 
  O, Miami builds community around the power of poetry. Through collaborations, projects, events, and publications, we create a platform for amplifying Miami’s voices, investing in a new shared narrative of our city and a more equitable picture of its future.

  The Kingdom of the Isles -...

  This study explores the history of the western seaboard of Scotland (the Hebrides, Argyll and the Isle of Man) in a formative but often neglected era: the central middle ages, from the mightly Somerled to his descendant John MacDonald, the first Lord of the Isles (c. 1336).
  Drawing on a variety of sources, this very readable narrative deals with three major and closely interrelated themes: first, the existence of the Isles and coastal mainland as a kingdom from c.1100 to 1266; second, the rulers of the region, Somerled and his descendants, the MacDougalls, MacDonalds and MacRuaris; and third, the often complex relations among the Isles, Scotland, Norway and England. A fully rounded history emerges, which transcends national viewpoints.
  While political history predominates, the changing nature of society in the isles is emphasised throughout, and separate chapters address the church and monasticism as well as the monuments – the castles, monasteries, churches and chapels that form an enduring legacy.
