Motherlands Bok
<b>A <i>SPECTATOR </i>BOOK OF THE YEAR</b> <b> 'A remarkable literary debut . . . Part memoir, part travelogue, <i>Motherlands</i> is ultimately an investigation of how we come to understand the past at all' </b><i><b>Guardian</b></i> Our creation stories begin with the notion of expulsion from our 'original' home. We spend our lives struggling to return to the place we fit in, the body we belong in, the people that understand us, the life we were meant for. But the places we remember are ever-changing, and ever since we left, they continue to alter themselves, betraying the deal made when leaving. Australian writer Amaryllis Gacioppo has been raised on stories of original homes, on the Palermo of her mother, the Benghazi of her grandmother and the Turin of her great-grandmother. But what does belonging mean when you're not sure of where home is? Is the modern nation state defined by those who flourish there or by those who aren't welcome? Is visiting the land of one's ancestors a return, a chance to feel complete, or a fantasy? Weaving memoir and cultural history through modern political history, examining notions of citizenship, statelessness, memory and identity and the very notion of home, <i>Motherlands </i>heralds the arrival of a major talent that opens one's eyes to new ways of seeing.

What An Owl Knows Bok
<p><strong>'And if anyone knows anything about anything... it's Owl who knows something about something.' </strong><strong><em>Winnie-the-Pooh</em>, A. A. Milne</strong></p> <p><strong>From prehistoric cave paintings to the prints and etchings of Picasso, owls have captivated and inspired us for millennia. </strong></p> <p>Whether they appear as ancient Athenian symbols of wisdom, ghostly harbingers of death, or the cuddly sidekicks of Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh, these birds have continued to fascinate and disturb us in equal measure.</p> <p>Through revelatory new behavioural research, Jennifer Ackerman provides an intimate glimpse into these magnificent creatures' lives. From the evolutionary quirks behind their silent flight and rotating heads, to their romantic relationships and parenting styles, <em>What an Owl Knows</em> brings the rich natural history of owls to life. Deftly weaving together science and art, Ackerman journeys into the owl's moonlit world and asks: what is it about these birds that so enthrals us?</p> <p>***</p> <p><strong>*THE <em>NEW YORK TIMES </em>BESTSELLER*</strong></p> <p><strong>A <em>TIMES </em>AND <em>ECONOMIST </em>BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023</strong></p> <p>'<strong>Fascinating</strong>... we often hear a barn owl hooting in a stand of pine trees behind the house. It's an eerie, mysterious sound that never fails to enchant. And it is this enchantment that is at the core of <strong>this charming, deeply researched book</strong>.' <em>GUARDIAN</em></p> <p>'Once again, Jennifer Ackerman has written <strong>a fascinating, fact-filled and wonderfully readable</strong> work of popular science - this time on one of the most mysterious and charismatic of all bird families: the owls.' STEPHEN MOSS</p> <p>'<strong>Ackerman's love for these birds is totally infectious</strong>... Long may they continue to fly through the darkness.' <em>DAILY MAIL</em></p>

In Search Of Berlin Bok
<p><b>A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023</b><br/><br/><b>'A masterful portrait of one of the world's greatest cities... A must-read' PETER FRANKOPAN</b><br/><b><br/>'Such a delightful read' KATJA HOYER, <i>The Times</i></b><br/><br/><b>'Berlin may well be Europe's most enigmatic city and John Kampfner is the ideal guide.' JONATHAN FREEDLAND, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Escape Artist</i></b><br/><br/><b><i>'</i>Gripping' <i>Financial Times<br/></i><br/></b><b><i>No other city has had so many lives, survived so many disasters and has reinvented itself so many times. No other city is like Berlin.</i></b><br/><br/>Ever since John Kampfner was a young journalist in Communist East Berlin, he hasn't been able to get the city out of his mind. It is a place tortured by its past, obsessed with memories, a place where traumas are unleashed and the traumatised have gathered.<br/><br/>Over the past four years Kampfner has walked the length and breadth of Berlin, delving into the archives, and talking to historians and writers, architects and archaeologists. He clambers onto a fallen statue of Lenin; he rummages in boxes of early Medieval bones; he learns about the cabaret star so outrageous she was thrown out of the city.<br/><br/>Berlin has been a military barracks, industrial powerhouse, centre of learning, hotbed of decadence - and the laboratory for the worst experiment in horror known to man. Now a city of refuge, it is home to 180 nationalities, and more than a quarter of the population has a migrant background. Berlin never stands still. It is never satisfied. But it is now the irresistible capital to which the world is gravitating.<br/><br/><i>In Search of Berlin</i> is an 800-year story, a dialogue between past and present; it is a new way of looking at this turbulent and beguiling city on its never-ending journey of reinvention.</p>
