Men of a Certain Age
"My favorite writer and interviewer." --Jude Rogers, music critic for the Guardian and author of The Sound of Being Human "If Kate Mossman's name is on it, then I want to read it." --Pete Paphides, journalist who has written about music for The Times, Mojo, and Time Out From Jeff Beck to Ray Davies, Jon Bon Jovi to Kevin Ayers, Kate Mossman has long fostered an interest in male musicians of a certain age. Why is it that when I meet them, I feel something ignite inside me? What is this strange connection - to feel so excited, yet so at ease? And how is it that in the presence of a wrinkly rock star twice my age, I sometimes feel like I'm meeting . . . me? Featuring 19 long-form profiles lovingly constructed for The Word magazine and the New Statesman, Men of a Certain Age chronicles the lives of some of the biggest rock stars of our time, including Brian May, Gene Simmons, Terence Trent D'Arby, Johnny Rotten and Nick Cave. The book is a meditation on the powerful archetype of the ageing rock star, but it is also a personal story - of music and obsession, and of the deep unconscious projections at play in our relationships with the famous people who most capture our hearts.

The police insisted that his death was the result of a random barroom brawl - an open and shut case - but when, years later, another man is killed in the same way, singing the same song, Mia is convinced the two killings must be connected. When a newspaper article draws a link between the murders, Mia is thrown into an investigation that leads her into Manila's underworld of interrogations, gambling rings and shootouts. With the police quick to cast suspicion on her, Mia must bring her father's killer to justice alone. But can she catch a killer before she becomes his next victim?

Bunker
For his second book with Hartmann Books, Vincenzo Pagliuca continues his visual-documentary research on the archetypal images of dwelling, that began with his 'm籀nos' series. This time he explores the bunkers of the Vallo Alpino, a network of fortifications designed by the fascist regime in the late 1930s to protect Italy's northern border, which remained under military control until 1993. Pagliuca focuses on the structures still scattered throughout South Tyrol, where the construction of about 300 bunkers was completed with an unprecedented use of resources. The monolithic architectures thus emerge from oblivion. His images spark the viewers' interest in distinctive camouflage methods and the relationships the buildings have developed over the decades with their natural and social surroundings. The bunkers represent a difficult legacy, recalling a dramatic historical period in Central Europe, marked by nationalist ideology and the inability to resolve conflicts through peaceful means -- an era we thought had long since passed... Pagliuca's photographic practice, through a serial approach, focuses on the landscape and human intervention on the land, with a particular interest in the theme of the house and dwelling. His work has been exhibited and published internationally. Bunker is his third book. Born in 1980, he lives and works in Brescia.

Featuring the work of both renowned and up--and-coming figures, including Marina Abramovic, Hew Locke, Jenkin van Zyl, Shirin Neshat, Sarah Lucas, and Shawanda Corbett, The Body in Contemporary Art shows how the human form continues to be pivotal to our understanding and expression of our place in the universe.International in scope with color illustrations throughout, this edition has been comprehensively revised, with an updated selection of artists and five new chapters covering topics such as clothing, work and economics, the nude, and illness.

The Martins
A wryly funny story about a struggling Parisian writer who finds the heroine of his next novel right outside his apartment "Foenkinos is at his best in this playful novel" -- Elle "A charming, clever book" -- The Independent Is it true that every life is the stuff of novels? Or are some people just too ordinary? This is the question a struggling Parisian writer asks when he challenges himself to write about the first person he sees when he steps outside his apartment. Secretly hoping to meet the beautiful woman who occasionally smokes on his street, he instead sets eyes on octogenarian Madeleine. She's happy to become the subject of his project, but first she needs to put her shopping away. Is it really true, the writer wonders, that every life is the stuff of novels, or is his story doomed to be hopelessly banal? As he gets to know Madeleine and her family, he'll be privy to their secrets: lost loves, marital problems and workplace worries. And he'll soon realise he is not the impartial bystander he intended to be, but a catalyst for major changes in the lives of his characters. Told with Foenkinos's characteristic irony and self-deprecating humour, yet filled with warmth, The Martins is a compelling tale of the family next door which raises questions about what it means to be 'ordinary', and about the blurred lines between truth and fiction. Light yet profound, it's another deeply charming story by this beloved French author.

But how can he escape his failure, especially when it's the most famous film series in the world?

The Return of the Grey Partridge
A 2024 Book of the Year pick in The Spectator and The Times Literary Supplement The ground-breaking story of the return of nature to the Arundel Estate The Return of the Grey Partridge tells the extraordinary story of how wildlife is restored to the Arundel Estate in West Sussex. Prompted by the collapse in numbers of one species, the grey partridge of the title, the managers of the estate woke up to the devastating effect modern farming methods were having on wildlife. Following the estate through the seasons of one year, the book shows how the farm of Peppering is gradually renatured: fields are divided up with hedgerows and trees, beetle banks are built across fields, the land is manured rather than fed with artificial fertilisers, and much of it is returned to pasture. Detailed descriptions of nature give a sense of this large estate coming back to life - still very much farmland, but with a rapid increase in wildlife and biodiversity. And the partridges return. Written in collaboration with the Duke of Norfolk, owner of the Arundel Estate, this moving and hopeful account shows how modern farming can work in partnership with nature to restore not only birdlife but to benefit the whole ecosystem.
