Since our 2022 edition, Nolan has solidified his place among cinema's greatest directors, winning his first Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture with Oppenheimer. This new edition examines the film's background and success, and also offers early insights into The Odyssey, his upcoming Greek epic set for release in June 2026. 'What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient...highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate.' - Cobb, Inception How has Nolan become this leading director? Is he the new Kubrick? What do audiences get out of his games? Visually, he offers a steely science-fiction noir with the highlights of big stars and a magician's flourishes, whether he is tackling Victorian London or the far reaches of outer space. In narrative terms, his films twist and turn, provoking as many questions as they answer. This book will look to crack open the magic box of Nolan's twisting universe. As a character, he eludes easy answers. Veteran film author Ian Nathan's research will lean into deciphering his cryptic pronouncements and motivations alongside the history and making of his films. Examining both the making of and the inspiration behind his many, many hit films, from The Prestige (2006) to the hugely successful Batman films, through to his mind-bending science fiction works such as Inception (2014) and Tenet (2020). And released in 2023, Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as the film's titular American scientist and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. Filled with striking visuals and rich insights, this book offers a compelling look into the mind of one of contemporary cinema's greatest visionaries.

Drawn from cities, farms, towns and coastal communities, these men left behind families, work and familiar lives to enlist in a conflict they could not have conceived.Their early service took them to Egypt, where training, boredom and anticipation shaped their expectations of battle. On the morning of 25 April 1915, those expectations were shattered. Landing in the first wave at Anzac Cove, the 11th Battalion climbed into intense enemy fire, enduring chaos, courage and devastating loss. Gallipoli would forge the battalion, but it would not define the limits of their war.In the months after the Landing they fought in five significant engagements, including a seaborne, daylight raid and a night assault that captured an important Turkish position – surely an unrivalled record. By the end of the campaign, only a handful of those who had landed before dawn on 25 April were still with their battalion – their friends and comrades were dead, wounded or recovering from the ravages of the harsh Gallipoli Campaign.This is the story of the men in the famous ‘pyramid’ photograph, a remarkable image of a healthy, youthful battalion arrayed on the stones of the Great Pyramid outside Cairo, before their baptism of fire ‘on Gallipoli’s grim shore’.James Hurst brings their full story to life through previously unpublished letters, diaries and personal accounts uncovered during years of research in family collections, archives, battlefields and cemeteries. These intimate voices—honest, resilient and often heartbreaking—form the heart of a narrative that follows the battalion beyond Gallipoli and through the long campaigns that followed.More than a record of battles, At Dawn They Landed is a portrait of a community in uniform: sons, brothers and husbands who endured years of fighting, separation and sacrifice. With clarity, empathy and deep scholarship, Hurst reveals the human cost of a war that did not end at the landing and ensures the men of the 11th Battalion are remembered not just for how they began, but for how long they carried on.‘The book is a rare beast – a work of academic history with a compelling narrative.

Far below the trenches of the Western Front, where darkness pressed against timber and clay and every sound carried the threat of death, Australian tunnellers waged a war few have heard, and even fewer can imagine. Working in suffocating heat, stale air and crushing claustrophobia, these men carved out living quarters, supply chambers and attack tunnels — sometimes only inches from German diggers doing exactly the same. One wrong tap of a pick or a single explosive charge could bury them alive without warning. The Hidden War is the first complete and meticulously researched history of Australia’s tunnelling companies from 1914 to 1919. Drawing on personal accounts, operational files and years of detailed investigation, Damien Finlayson reveals the scale, science and nerve of this underground conflict: the clay-kickers and miners who pushed towards enemy lines; the engineers who calculated blast strengths and shaft supports; and the teams who wired vast underground mines that shaped battles at Fromelles, Arras, Messines, Passchendaele, Cambrai, the Lys and in the defence of Amiens. Finlayson situates the tunnellers’ work within the broader machinery of the Great War, showing how their labour underpinned some of its most decisive operations. He also writes with empathy for the men themselves — their gallows humour, their camaraderie, and the psychological strain of serving in a place where the ground could turn traitor at any moment. Long overlooked in Australian military history, the tunnellers emerge as ingenious, disciplined and extraordinarily brave. This is a powerful, authoritative account — rich with technical insight yet fully alive to the human cost — of a war fought in darkness, silence and earth. ‘Highly detailed and intricate… he has done the ANZAC tunnellers proud.’ — Dave Wilkins  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42423994875984,"sku":"9781923514867","price":33.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781923514867_1.jpg?v=1779778379"},{"product_id":"i-wanna-be-loved-by-you","title":"I Wanna Be Loved By You","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eDreamer. Bombshell. Icon.  Featuring a wealth of unpublished material, Andrew Wilson’s biography of Marilyn Monroe presents the actress in a startling new light.  Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, she had an uncertain and unforgiving upbringing. She grew up in Los Angeles and would dream about Hollywood, believing that acting would be her one-way ticket to happiness. Her dream was so powerful that she transformed herself into the ultimate goddess of the silver screen, and her image has been branded into the collective consciousness. Men lusted after her, and women wanted to be her. All her life, she just wanted to be loved.  Told through 100 captivating snapshots, we are thrown into the glamorous but dangerous world of old Hollywood. We see a young Marilyn navigating the highs and lows of the studio system as she attempts to free herself from the constraints of Twentieth Century-Fox. We also go behind the scenes of her marriages to teenage sweetheart Jim Dougherty, baseball star Joe DiMaggio and famous playwright Arthur Miller. We hear the voices of friends, lovers – and enemies.  We hear of the friendships she formed with poets, philosophers, playwrights and political activists, and the years spent training with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. In the concluding chapters, Andrew Wilson unpicks what happened on the night Marilyn died after a suspected drug overdose. Were the Kennedys involved, or was she just let down by those closest to her?  I Wanna Be Loved By You is a revealing and nuanced portrait of the life, death and afterlife of an icon who still fascinates us today. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42423996285008,"sku":"9781398513440","price":49.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781398513440_1.jpg?v=1779778700"},{"product_id":"whispering-of-trees","title":"Whispering Of Trees","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eSome stories are not forgotten — they wait hidden in the shadows, whispering to be told.‘For Charlie, whose life lasted six years. For Susan, who learned to survive the rest.’In the days leading up to the shooting, Ted Benedek told his children that to stay together, they would all need to ‘go to Heaven.’ Charlie, six, asked questions. Susan, four, clung to his words. Neither sensed the danger gathering behind their father’s calm.As dawn washed over Victoria’s Otway Ranges on 23 June 1971, two rifle shots tore through the stillness. Ted deliberately fired both into the chest of his six-year-old son, Charlie. The bullets ripped through the boy’s small frame, shattering bone and breaking the quiet of the morning. From the back seat of the wrecked family station wagon, four-year-old Susan watched her brother die. The shots ended one life; what followed nearly destroyed another.A Whispering of Trees begins with this unthinkable act and follows the long shadow it casts over the decades that follow. The horror did not end in the Otway forest. While Ted survived his failed suicide attempt and was quickly shielded by the law’s declaration of insanity, Susan was swept into a welfare system wholly unprepared — and unwilling — to protect her. Within days, she became a ward of the state and was placed in a home defined not by safety but by danger: a household marked by criminality, predation and neglect.The press barely noted the tragedy; the institutions charged with safeguarding children like Susan moved on with bureaucratic indifference. Yet for the girl who had witnessed her brother’s death, there was no moving on. Her childhood unfolded within a maze of state-run facilities, court orders, psychiatric assessments and the quiet cruelties of adults who did not see her — or did not care to.Drawing on court transcripts, psychiatric files, government records, and interviews with those still marked by the events of 1971, A Whispering of Trees lays bare a case that reveals more than a single crime. It uncovers a system that repeatedly failed a vulnerable child — and a woman who, despite every barrier, rose above the ruins of her past.‘A gripping and courageous work of true crime. Rosenhain and Newbury illuminate the shadows with rare clarity and compassion.’‘A haunting, meticulously researched account that reads with the urgency of a thriller and the heart of lived truth.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42423999103056,"sku":"9781923514584","price":33.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781923514584_1.jpg?v=1779778988"},{"product_id":"what-will-the-neighbours-think","title":"What Will The Neighbours Think","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eFrom forced adoption to prime-time television — a life lived with grit, grace and a touch of showbiz sparkle.In 1965, Jan Russ was a young Melbourne woman whose world fell apart overnight. Unmarried, pregnant and abandoned, she was pushed into a system that punished single mothers and stole their babies in the name of respectability. The loss of her daughter would shadow her life for decades — a wound carried quietly while the rest of the world saw her shine. And shine she did. Jan found refuge on the stage, touring Australia and New Zealand in the glory days of musical theatre before stepping into television work on both sides of the Tasman. Back in Melbourne, she moved behind the scenes at Crawford Productions and later joined Neighbours, where she became one of Australia’s most influential casting directors. Over 26 years, she discovered new talent — including future global stars Kylie Minogue and Margot Robbie — helping to define an era of Australian television. Away from the cameras, Jan waged another battle: the long, determined search for the daughter taken from her. Her advocacy along with other mothers helped pave the way for Australia’s National Apology for Forced Adoption in 2013 — a moment of long overdue recognition. From the quiet brutality of the 1960s to the bright lights of international fame as her son, Sam Hammington, becomes a household name in South Korea, Jan’s life continually expands in unexpected and joyful directions, even as old wounds linger. Her story is one of resilience, humour, heartbreak and extraordinary reinvention.What Will the Neighbours Think? is a candid, spirited memoir from a woman who built a remarkable life in spite of — and sometimes because of — the secrets she was told to keep. ‘A fearless, funny, deeply human story from a woman who refused to fade into the wings.’  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42424002314320,"sku":"9781923514720","price":33.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781923514720_1.jpg?v=1779779479"},{"product_id":"52-assignments-drone-photography","title":"52 Assignments Drone Photography","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003e52 Assignments: Drone Photography is a year's worth of inspiring weekly assignments to kick-start your creativity.

This is biography of great brilliance and rare resonance' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE 'A pulsating, vivid life of a true historical titan' DAN JONES 'A splendid book, lively, erudite... where myth and heroism meet' RORY STEWART A stunningly written new biography of Alexander the Great, based on a series of important new discoveries and the author's own translations of source material from twelve ancient languages. In 336 BCE, at the age of twenty, Alexander, a wide-eyed boy from the hills of Macedon, inherited a tumbledown kingdom, a pile of debts and an army which answered to nobody. Desperate to hold on to power, he led the army east, into the heart of the vast Persian Empire, and inadvertently began the greatest military campaign in history. The young man became a king, the king became a hero, the hero became a living god, and the god died aged thirty-two, broken-hearted in Babylon. For centuries, historians have told his story, yet Alexander has remained a mystery. But now, the ruins of his cities have emerged from the bottom of the sea and the dust of Central Asian hillsides. The diaries of Babylonian astronomers who knew him have been deciphered. The tombs of his ancestors have been unearthed. For the first time, instead of the legend, we can meet Alexander the man. Based on more than a decade of cutting-edge research, Alexander allows readers to feel the desert wind and experience the full horror of battle. Richardson's research has taken him from the catacombs of Egypt to the passes of Afghanistan. Alexander is a cinematic work of non-fiction- a revelatory retelling of one of the most famous and elusive stories in history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42425558007888,"sku":"9781526658142","price":35.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781526658142_1.jpg?v=1779930333"},{"product_id":"angertainment","title":"Angertainment","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eWe were promised a global village; we got a gladiatorial arena. No longer just a tool for connection, social media has spawned an entire outrage industry harvesting and monetising our worst impulses.

But Whitlam's immense self-belief, relentless determination, misjudgements and blunders were truly Shakespearean and help to explain his downfall.Drawing on thousands of pages of newly discovered archives and interviews with more than one hundred people, Troy Bramston, Australia's leading political biographer, gives the most comprehensively researched account of Whitlam's life and career ever published. It is an epic story of triumph and tragedy, filled with revelations that will surprise and shock, and offers new insights into Whitlam's family and upbringing; wartime service and legal career; ascendancy through Labor ranks; prime ministership; and life after politics.This is the definitive biography of Australia's twenty-first prime minister, and the first since his death in 2014, providing an unvarnished analysis of his achievements and failures, how he governed, and the dramatic story of his dismissal on Remembrance Day, 1975.

From the first Ancient Greek tyrants to those who still dominate nations today, dictators have always been pulling the strings. In 50 bite-sized chapters spanning thousands of years, A Short History of the World in 50 Tyrants examines their rise to power, how they stayed there and how they were overthrown, investigating their lives and crimes. Readers will learn how Catherine the Great seized the throne from her own husband, how Adolf Hitler created a cult of personality to assume complete control, and how Julius Caesar met his end under a rain of stabs on the senate floor. Follow the whims, eccentricities and evil acts of dictators across the millennia, such as the deadly search for immortality by the first Chinese Emperor, the wily machinations of the Emperor Augustus and the crushing brutality of Pol Pot’s rule.

It will appeal to her many fans as well as the gallery crowd' Stephen Smith, Financial Times Tracey Emin talks about painting: what it is, why she does it, why it matters. Richly illustrated with photographs of the artist and her art, here is a vivid and intimate portrait of her life and work in her own words, in conversation with art critic Martin Gayford. Emin reflects on painting - how she approaches it, why it matters to her, and how it connects to her life - and how everything has changed since her cancer diagnosis. 'Every image has first entered my mind, travelled through my heart, my blood - arriving at the end of my hand. Everything has come through me.' Offering a uniquely personal insight into the artist's extraordinary life and career, Emin expresses herself in her characteristically frank, confessional style that is so familiar to anyone who has seen her paintings.

Golia deftly traces Egypt's trajectory from Neolithic times to the Arab Spring and up to the present day, and in doing so illuminates the environmental, temporal and cultural forces that have shaped it. Egypt looms large in the popular imagination, conjuring images of pyramids, pharaohs, tomb raiders and vast deserts. Yet its true allure might lie in its impressively long history and what it tells us about the human condition. Just like the ancients, we're preoccupied with life's brevity and how to prolong its pleasures and reduce its pains. In many ways, Egypt is a case study in how people endure. Written with wit, clarity and a contemporary beat, this is a wild and intoxicating ride through Egypt's history. 'A sweeping history of Egypt, written with authority and literary flair. Golia effortlessly distils a broad range of recent scholarship to paint a portrait of the country and its people that is convincing and endearing, but also uncompromisingly honest.' -Campbell Price, author of Golden Mummies of Egypt 'Sharp, elegant and insightful' -David Wengrow, co-author of The Dawn of Everything 'To condense Egyptian history into 200 pages with such wit, insight and revelatory knowledge is truly a great literary achievement.

It's hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong . . . that life has become precariously off-balance. We are hit hourly with headlines about catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, record heat waves, collapsing democracies, AI and nuclear threat, rising economic inequality, widespread unrest and more. In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues we are undergoing what every complex civilisation before us has - systemic collapse. So how do we continue to live as sensitive humans amidst such a tumultuous shift? What does life look like when the systems we rely on deteriorate? Should we be having kids? How do we make financial decisions? Should we be prepping? And, most importantly, how do we avoid succumbing to doom and despair? In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson delves into these pressing questions. Drawing on many years of research and wisdom gained from more than 200 conversations with philosophers, poets, game theorists and spiritual leaders, Wilson takes readers on an intimate journey as she lays out a path for living fully, meaningfully and beautifully through these troubled times. Our predicament, she argues, is ultimately an urgent call to us all to relish what is valuable to us - to eat the stars - and to return to our humanity once again. I Eat the Stars empowers readers to move beyond panic, doom and despair. With her warm, incisively intelligent, wise and down-to-earth voice, Wilson creates a space for readers to confront their fears and anxieties about an uncertain future, guiding them toward one rooted in truth, hope, justice, creativity, community, and to step up as 'warriors' and meet the moment.

Surveying a wide variety of birds, including crows, finches, tits, and parrots, Louis Lefebvre, a world-renowned expert in animal behaviour, describes the remarkable innovations and problem-solving abilities of species often dismissed as 'featherbrains'. From crows using cars as nutcrackers to cockatoos crafting tools, Lefebvre reveals how birds exhibit creativity, social learning, and even cultural transmission - traits once thought to be exclusive to humans and other primates. Blending his decades of scientific research with engaging anecdotes, Lefebvre examines the evolutionary forces that have shaped avian intelligence. He explores how birds adapt to urban environments, innovate in response to challenges, and pass down knowledge across generations. This goldmine of bird behaviour yields an 'innovation quotient' widely used by researchers to measure and rank how innovative a bird species is. Using his encyclopaedic knowledge, Lefebvre answers questions such as- When a bird species learns a new technique, how do their innovations spread? Why is research on bird cognition being used to train AI models and even robots? What makes certain birds endlessly innovative while others stubbornly repeat the same behaviours? With vivid storytelling and groundbreaking insights, A Bird's IQ invites readers to reconsider their perceptions, celebrating the ingenuity of birds and highlighting the interconnectedness of all intelligent life. 'This book is a gem, witty, entertaining, insightful, and deeply informative - a must-read for anyone interested in birds or brains. I learned something new on every page and came away with a more profound understanding of birds and wonder at their astonishing mental complexity and capacities.' -Jennifer Ackerman, New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds, What an Owl Knows, and The Bird Way 'A Bird's IQ is an amazing avian adventure. It provides the reader with gorgeous glimpses into the mysteries and magic of bird brains and behaviour, and in a way that integrates the author's passion and academic knowledge of the field, both scientifically and artistically. Like a profound magic effect, there are hidden gems on every page, tailored to both the general public and the in-depth expert. A page turner!' -Nicky Clayton, Fellow of the Royal Society and Professor of Comparative Cognition, University of Cambridge 'With equal measures of joyful curiosity and scientific precision, A Bird's IQ maps the capacity of birds for discovery, innovation and learning.

But we got it wrong - and our mistake has brought us to the brink. For the history of life on Earth is much more than a story of competition. The natural world has been forged and sustained by small miracles of co-operation between animals and plants, insects and fungi, fish and bacteria - these partnerships are ubiquitous, lifelong and are an essential guide for a better future. In Togetherness, Rowan Hooper reveals the intimate connectedness of nature through these remarkable stories of symbiosis. From the female wasp venturing deep inside a fig and the intricate relationship between corals and the algae that sustain them to the symbiotic gut microbes that influence our moods, he explores how co-operation is fundamental to life itself and to protecting our shared future.

From Soumaya Keynes, podcaster and columnist at the Financial Times and Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. We used to take trade for granted. Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year, made possible by a global, rules-based system. Nobody paid too much attention to supply chains: they just worked. Now, Trump’s latest tariff announcement can crash markets, ruin your pension, and sour decades-long alliances. Brexit can sever Britain from its closest trading partners. China’s export restrictions on rare earths could bring the West’s car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. The stakes couldn't be higher. In this irreverent guide to our economic world, Keynes and Bown explore the history, players, and rules of trade, asking how we prepare for what the future might hold. Could trade wars lead to hot wars? What can the West learn from China? Timely, funny and informative, How to Win a Trade War argues that the old system is dead. But what will emerge in its place?

Heir to the legendary jewellery company House of Kutchinsky, he longed to create a jewelled egg more beautiful than any of Fabergé’s masterpieces. It would be the largest and most spectacular in the world. Standing two feet tall, made of solid gold, dripping with rare pink diamonds and housing a tiny enamelled library, the egg was astonishing. But when he failed to sell it, everything started to unravel. The House of Kutchinsky collapsed, Paul’s marriage fell apart, and within ten years he was dead. The egg was seized by its creditors and disappeared without trace. For thirty years its location remained a mystery, until it began to obsess Serena, too. Why did her father risk everything for this outlandish creation, and where in the world was it – valued by now at £30 million? Intent on finding answers, she traces a story that begins in London’s East End, with the arrival of her great-great grandparents as Polish-Jewish immigrants, and takes her to the other end of the world.

The horse’s brain, senses and abilities are all fully explored.In the book’s second half, the author turns her considerable expertise to how the horse learns, and helps readers understand proven, effective and compassionate training methods for the animals they work with.Through her focus on welfare, and by making accessible the sometimes complex science of ethology and training, experienced trainer and author Portland Jones entices readers to share the awe and wonder she experiences at the horse’s side. Equine is for anyone who works with horses, rides them, or simply admires this most beautiful of creatures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42532442701904,"sku":"9781923011083","price":35.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781923011083_1.jpg?v=1781245107"},{"product_id":"boys","title":"Boys","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eBuilding strong young men from the inside out.

Mark Edele, a world authority on the history of the Soviet Union, explains why and how this conflict came about. He considers competing historical claims and arguments with authority and lucidity. His primary focus, however, is on the different paths taken by these two former members of the Soviet Union. Since the implosion of that state in 1991, Ukraine has developed a vibrant, if often troubled, democracy. For an increasingly dictatorial Russian political elite, including but not limited to Vladimir Putin, Ukraine has appeared more and more threatening. Humiliated by the degradation of Russia's international standing, feeling betrayed by an expanding NATO and anxious about democratic revolutions in the former Soviet space, Putin and his allies have increasingly retreated into a resentful ultra-nationalism.

Showcasing 20 unique homes by designer Georgia Ezra, it invites you to create spaces that tell your story, celebrate traditional craftsmanship, and embrace the beauty of natural materials.Author and interior designer Georgia Ezra's design philosophy is deeply rooted in authenticity, sensory experience, and a reverence for craftsmanship and the natural world. Her approach transcends trend-based design and she believes conscious design also extends to choosing materials that are sustainable, environmentally conscious and built to last, and champions working with artisanal makers to create homes that are true one-offs.At the heart of Georgia's practice is a deep respect for the handmade. Intentionally integrating artisanal objects, custom-made furniture and architectural finishes into every project, she believes these pieces carry the imperfect beauty and energy of the maker, bringing their spirit into the space.Georgia designs homes where the emotional wellbeing of the client, or how they feel when they step through their front door, is more important than design trends. As Georgia says, ‘Each design we take on is like playing matchmaker between home and homeowner.’ Her goal is not to impress, but to express. To build a home that reflects the people who live in it, to honour craftsmanship, and to welcome the past into the present with grace and authenticity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536635727952,"sku":"9781761451485","price":58.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781761451485_1.jpg?v=1781502584"},{"product_id":"honeybees","title":"Honeybees","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eHoneybees: The Wonders of the Hive and How to Help Them Thrive is a beautifully written book that draws us into the fascinating, complex world of bees, inviting us to pause, notice, and care for these wonderful and essential creatures. Mary and Henry, passionate beekeepers, left behind established careers to pursue a life devoted to honeybees and the vital role they play in our ecosystems. What began as a risk turned into a deeply rewarding journey – one that changed their lives and the way they move through the world. This book is their invitation to you to see things differently.As they put it: ‘The more we learn about bees, the more we begin to care – not just about hives and honey, but about the health of our ecosystems, our communities, and the choices we make every day. A better world for bees is a better world for all of us. And it begins, simply, with paying attention.’ With bee populations in decline, habitats shrinking, and colony health under pressure worldwide, there is urgent and serious reason for us to care. Bees’ impact extends beyond their hives: they sustain entire ecosystems, make modern agriculture possible, and uphold biodiversity that supports countless other species. The good news? We can help them thrive! Blending science, storytelling and practical advice, this book shows you how to support bees and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet. Lavishly illustrated and including stunning photography, Honeybees is the perfect gift for nature lovers, gardeners and anyone who wants to make the world a better place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536635826256,"sku":"9781761452352","price":31.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781761452352_1.jpg?v=1781502607"},{"product_id":"bohemian-modern","title":"Bohemian Modern","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eEmily Henson explores the elements that come together to create this eclectic, colourful and contemporary look and draws inspiration from an array of real-life Bohemian Modern homes.The Bohemian Modern home is a place where creativity, individuality and a bold mix of colour and pattern meet in a modern environment. Whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors are brought to life by vibrant rugs and wall hangings; a cosy rattan chair suspended from the ceiling, and a jungle of house plants – clustered in pots, hanging from the ceiling or even growing on the walls. The style gives a nod to 70s chic, with its use of shagpile rugs, Swiss cheese plants and macramé, but it stands firmly in the present day by boldly contrasting those elements with sleek modern art and polished concrete work surfaces. Emily starts by taking a look at the different facets of the look: pattern and colour, textiles, handmade pieces, living with houseplants and collections and display. She offers up styling tricks to use at home and timely ideas for recycling and reuse. Next, a series of case studies take a closer look at free-spirited and creative homes and the people who live in them.

Informative and immensely enjoyable' JONATHAN PHILIPPSA spectacular new panoramic history of the Crusades. From their foundation in 1097 to Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem almost a century later, the Crusader States transformed the Middle Eastern world. In an era shaped by many conflicts, this was not simply a war between Christianity and Islam, but an epic contest among multiple rival empires, dynasties and cultures.The Crusader Storm unfolds through a kaleidoscope of perspectives: a Byzantine renegade, a crusader princess, a Turkish matriarch, a young Arab nobleman, a Syriac archbishop, Saladin's leading commander and the vizier of Egypt. Between them, information, technologies and ideas - as well as weapons - crossed borders at astonishing speed as their societies fought, allied and traded. Their entangled fates reshaped not only the Middle East, but the medieval world itself.Drawing on sources from Arabic, Greek, Syriac, Armenian, Latin and Hebrew traditions, Nicholas Morton's enthralling panorama transforms our understanding of the Crusades - revealing them not as a single clash of faiths, but as a dynamic era of war, commerce, innovation and exchange that defined the course of history.PRAISE FOR THE MONGOL STORM: 'Brain-stretching . . .

In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals the breathtakingly intimate, raw and relatable moments they left behind, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the adorable, messy writing of preschoolers. We brush hands with an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, and a working mother struggling with 'the juggle' in 1900 BCE.Together, these fragments illuminate not just the history of Mesopotamia, but the story of how history was made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536638611536,"sku":"9781529392166","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781529392166_1.jpg?v=1781502924"},{"product_id":"threads-of-empire","title":"Threads Of Empire","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003e'A fascinating alternative history covering 2,500 years and a geographical span from Japan to California' NEW STATESMAN'A revelation . . . The tale of each carpet as Armstrong tells it is untidy and tragic and comical all at once' TESSA HADLEYOn the saddles of warlords, draping the walls of palaces, under the feet of presidents, dictators and religious leaders: where there is power, there have been carpets.Threads of Empire is a vivid new history of global power told through the stories of the world's most fascinating rugs. From colonial bureaucrats to Lutheran priests, oil barons to Islamic rules, Scythian chieftains to Churchill and Stalin, textile scholar Dorothy Armstrong explores how these objects have always travelled in the slipstream of power - and how the unwritten histories of those who made them are woven into the fabric beneath our feet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536638644304,"sku":"9781399614245","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781399614245_1.jpg?v=1781502932"},{"product_id":"kylian-mbappe","title":"Kylian Mbappe","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003e'Arguably the finest Paris born-and-bred journalist on the finest Paris born-and-bred footballer' James Horncastle'The story of Mbappe deserved to be told by someone with a sharp mind and pen, who understands Kylian and his background.

Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' PeleThis was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappe who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment.In Kylian Mbappe: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappe's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappe's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life.Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappe's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galacticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappe that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536638677072,"sku":"9781399629577","price":35.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781399629577_1.jpg?v=1781502939"},{"product_id":"to-catch-a-fish","title":"To Catch A Fish","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eA charming and gorgeously illustrated collection of essays on fish and fishing by Mark Kurlansky, the acclaimed bestselling author of Cod and Salt. Covering everything from techniques and methods to fishing culture, ecology, and cooking and eating one's catch, Kurlansky guides readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish through fascinating and entertaining anecdotes, all in his signature informative and meditative style.For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species-fish and man-live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us-author Mark Kurlansky included-are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42536638709840,"sku":"9781635869729","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781635869729_1.jpg?v=1781502946"},{"product_id":"john-derian-colouring-book-flowers","title":"John Derian Colouring Book: Flowers","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eWhat fun!
