The Philosophy of Christmas
Take the Roman festival of Saturnalia, the gift-giving Norse god Odin and the Pagan habit of bringing evergreen plants into the house at Midwinter. Add a benevolent fourth-century bishop, some drunken medieval singing and a nineteenth-century American poem. Sprinkle with the Christian tradition of Jesus being born on 25 December and stir well. Allow the mixture to absorb other influences over hundreds of years and serve with a plum pudding that may or may not have plums in it. Drawing on these multifarious ingredients and more, Caroline Taggart takes a fascinating and quirky look at why we celebrate Christmas the way we do. Illustrated in glorious full colour with images from the British Library Collections, this is a joyful journey through distant lands and ancient customs, finishing with a few thoughts on what our future traditions might be.

The Murder Game
From The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Magpie Murders, and related diversions including cryptic crosswords and Cain's Jawbone, The Murder Game examines the games authors played with their readers and the importance of puzzles in Golden Age whodunits.With books flourishing in the 1920s and '30s like never before, no genre was more innovative or popular than detective fiction. It was an era that saw the emergence of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen and dozens of other authors who became household names for a generation of readers.The Golden Age of Detection has enjoyed a great resurgence of interest in recent years, with publishers mining back catalogues to bring the best of yesteryear to very receptive new audiences. What is it about a literary movement that took off in the 1920s that still appeals to book lovers in the 2020s?In this authoritative new study, John Curran reveals that it is the ludic qualities of classic crime fiction that continue to intrigue. At its heart is the 'whodunit' game between writer and reader, but there is also the game between detective and murderer, between publisher and book-buyer, even between the writers themselves.Coinciding with an increase in leisure time and literacy, the Golden Age also saw the development of the crossword, the growth of bridge and Mahjong, the enduring popularity of jigsaws and the emergence of Cluedo - all activities requiring the 'little grey cells'. The Murder Game considers all of these, and many other sporting and competitive recreations, helping to explain the reading public's ongoing love affair with the Golden Age.

Explores Howard Devoto's band Magazine, tracing their influential post-punk evolution and enduring legacy.This book tells the story of the iconic band formed by Howard Devoto when he left the Buzzcocks. This revised and updated edition brings the story bang up-to-date.Already tired of the thrash and unrelenting nature of punk rock, Devoto wanted to combine the elements of avant-garde and pop. This he did with 'Shot by Both Sides', 'the best rock & roll record of 1978, punk or otherwise' (Rolling Stone) followed by their first album Real Life. Three more equally acclaimed albums followed before Magazine disbanded. With unique access to the band and interviews with the great and the good of the 1980s and iconic musicians of today, Helen Chase presents a riveting insight into the world of punk and beyond. Placing the band in the context of the Manchester music scene she explains why the band has such a solid fan-base and why Magazine had decided to re-form for live gigs some 30 years since they first took to the stage. Magazine are a greatly respected and hugely influential band and their music remains fresh and relevant today.
A Silk Road Oasis
The oasis of Dunhuang, at the edge of the Gobi Desert, was once a bustling town on the famous Silk Road connecting China and the Mediterranean. But there was more to this verdant oasis than trade. For more than 1,000 years, Dunhuang was also an important pilgrimage site, a cultural melting pot where ideas, technologies and art flowed freely.

This astonishing time capsule opens windows onto the intimate worlds of artists and scribes, merchants and fortune-tellers, diplomats, Buddhists and nuns. Detailing life in and around Dunhuang during the first millennium, this book draws on personal letters, wills, paintings, sculptures and more, encompassing several languages, faiths and cultures including Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Christianity; and spans topics as diverse as literature, astronomy, medicine, politics and art. Highlights from these ancient texts include: * The Diamond Sutra, the world's earliest complete printed book with a date, and one of the most influential Buddhist texts ever composed in East Asia. * The Dunhuang star chart, the earliest known atlas of the night sky from any civilisation. * The Old Tibetan Annals, the earliest surviving historical document in Tibetan, giving a year-by-year account of the Tibetan Empire between 641 and 764.

Charles Lancelin's Out-of-body Method
Translated into English for the very first time by the author Cardelli (Nature of the Gods, Maps of the Gods), a new generation may now study Charles Lancelin's personally developed methods for detaching from the physical body, as well as developing one's psychic abilities. Incorporating techniques that were once only known by the initiates of Mystery schools, Mr. Lancelin lays out a program that anyone can follow to develop the mental and physical faculties necessary to achieve out-of-body experiences at will. Much of his experimental research is included within this work, including detailed accounts of his experiments and photographic evidence of spiritual manifestations and out-of-body phenomena. Focusing on the power of Thought and the development of Will, Charles Lancelin's Out-of-body Method is a critical reference book that is a must-have to complete any library on Astral Projection.
Vintage 1954
A very special bottle of wine sends 4 neighbors back to 1950s Paris, where they each find the key to a happy future "A glorious time-slip caper... Just wonderful" -- Daily Mail When Hubert Larnaudie, chair of the management committee at his Parisian apartment building, makes an out-of-character decision to invite some fellow residents to drink an exceptional bottle of 1954 Beaujolais, he has no idea of its unique properties. The following morning, Hubert finds himself waking up in 1950s Paris, as do antique restorer Magalie, mixologist Julien, and Airbnb tenant Bob, who's visiting from Milwaukee. After their initial shock, the city of Edith Piaf and An American in Paris begins to work its charm on the time travelers, providing unexpected solutions to the problems they left in the future. Julien pines for Magalie; but she's too focused on the traumatic death of her parents when she was small to notice that he loves her. Bob's wife Goldie is stuck in a coma, and Hubert is obsessed with the foolish decisions that led his ancestors to lose the family fortune. Through chance encounters and the magic of one of Paris's golden eras, each time traveler will find the key they were looking for. But, delightful as 1954 is, they need to work out how to get back to 2017 - because how will they live out a happy future if they're stuck in the past?

Dance or Die
What is hardcore? It means many things to many people, and they're all correct. It's best described as a feeling, an attitude, and a way of life. Hardcore is niche, schismatic, and a global phenomenon that refuses to die. Because hardcore will never die. Its symbols have been tattooed onto millions of bodies and its relics passed down through the generations, as its sounds resound worldwide. Dance or Die is the first critical and expansive study of hardcore as a music, a subculture and an enduring "phuture" rave movement, full of colourful anecdotes and first person accounts from artists, fans and the core of hardcore. This diehard anthology tracks the outsiders and outcasts who banded together to party, in protest, over more than 30 years of obnoxious rebellion, in ecstasy and escape, as a nighttime community more family than family, who need this hard, loud, fast/slow, aggressive, noisy, occasionally silly, kick drum or breakbeat-driven dance music, to connect with people, to survive the world, and to get through the week. Hardcore: Either you're in, or you're out. And if you're in, you're in all the way, diehard and dancing to the death. Dance or Die!
