What do we talk about when we talk about Europe? Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In Europe, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before - as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, 'Europe' has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe’s major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves.

The Peak District may be overlooked by those flocking to the Lake District National Park (formed soon after) and its summits may not soar quite as high, yet it retains much of Britain’s finest and most mysterious scenery.

It nicked the edge of his epaulette, and passed diagonally down, through the material of his coat and into the left shoulder, fracturing the upper part of the scapula or shoulder blade, then the second and third rib. It pierced the left lung, dividing a branch of the pulmonary artery, and emerged to sever the spine, splintering the sixth and seventh vertebrae above and below as it crashed between.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe soft lead ball – distorted by collisions with bone – ended its flight embedded in muscle two inches below the right scapula. In this fresh and visceral retelling of the battle of Trafalgar, Paul O’Keeffe traces the course of events both prior and subsequent to that fatal shot: from about 6.30 in the morning, as the British ships began their slow approach towards the combined French and Spanish fleet, until the cessation of firing that followed the apocalyptic destruction of the French 74-gun Achille at 5.45 in the afternoon. But we also learn about the battle’s dramatic aftermath: how a violent storm that raged for eight days destroyed the surviving French and Spanish ships and drowned more sailors than had been killed during battle; how news of victory travelled and was celebrated in London; how Nelson’s body was brought home and given a spectacular funeral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaying meticulous attention to the peripheral – and little explored – details, O’Keeffe gives us a front-row view of events; and in his unflinching portrayal of the brutal reality of naval warfare, he tells the story of the human cost of war.

In essays that operate outside typical categories or genres, Tillman reflects on forms including film, painting, photography, poetry, and fiction, as well as notions of fame, originality, embodied viewing and thinking, collective activity, aging, illness, American identity, cultural politics, modernity, strangeness, and time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuch is the stuff that relates art to life, and life to art.

Occultism has long been associated with the visual and literary arts, the wild and the avant-garde, and nowhere was this more embodied than in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors and visual artists to its ranks. It looked towards a ‘golden age’ of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals – class and gender were no barriers to entry – and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection that were gradually unveiled as members ascended ten ‘grades’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at various points more an arts club or society of writers.

The Golden Dawn, with its role in the foundation of Wicca and modern developments in magic, is a vital thread connecting Victorian esotericism to the present-day occult revival.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis visually arresting, meticulously researched literary history teases out these connections, while offering a compelling account of the Order and its members.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 19 Mar 2026, Thames \u0026amp; Hudson \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780500029183\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 304 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56384759103870,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9780500029183_f601d.jpg?v=1760174246"},{"product_id":"the-art-of-the-book-75-years-of-thames-hudson-by-anna-nyburg","title":"The Art of the Book: 75 Years of Thames \u0026 Hudson by Anna Nyburg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA celebration of 75 years of publishing at Thames \u0026amp; Hudson – a delight for bibliophiles, historians, art lovers and fans of the T\u0026amp;H brand.

When Justin Townes Earle died in 2020 at the age of 38 of an overdose, alone in a sparsely furnished apartment in Nashville, his death sent waves of grief through the country-Americana music community. The son of alt-country hellraiser Steve Earle, partially named after the Texas troubadour and patron saint of substance-fueled despair Townes Van Zandt, he had long struggled with mental illness and various addictions.

He sang of cramped Brooklyn apartments and crippling hangovers, about emotional displacement, economic anxiety, and the wandering that characterized his feral, formative years as a rootless kid rambling around Nashville, developing his own unique guitar style and absorbing the musical influences that surrounded him.

On March 12, 1947, less than two years after the end of WWII, President Harry S. Truman gave what proved to be a seminal speech before Congress, in response to a European crisis: Greece was facing economic collapse and Britain, long the country’s guarantor against encroaching Soviet ambition, was bankrupt after six years of war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTruman felt the U.S. had to support a free people resisting attempted subjugation through financial aid which, he emphasized, “is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes.” The U.S. economy had thrived and the country was the richest nation in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut Truman envisioned that shared prosperity among the democracies would make them politically more stable and long-term peace much more likely.

But it was Truman who pushed for the Marshall Plan, which in 1948 kickstarted the fastest period of growth in European history, its low tariff environment encouraging trade and the resultant prosperity and longstanding peace throughout most of Europe and the Americas. However, Holland warns that we in the West have become complacent, less willing to safeguard the freedoms that extended prosperity has allowed; and he makes clear the remarkably far-sighted decisions made in the wake of WWII stand in stark contrast to our transactional approach to the world today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 7 May 2026, Transworld\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780857509710\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 320 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56518849200510,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9780857509710_1_b80e23fc-1103-4871-9d95-ae5a45d33311.jpg?v=1771418061"},{"product_id":"spring-is-the-only-season-how-it-works-what-it-does-and-why-it-matters-by-simon-barnes-1","title":"Spring is the Only Season by Simon Barnes","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'A book that filled me from first to last with a rapture as transcendent and thrilling as that which spring yearly provides ...
