In The Lost of Syros, a debut collection of stories by Emma Timpany, revelations come unexpectedly: in a shower of gold on a snow-covered volcano in Antarctica; at a graffiti-scarred Aboriginal sacred site; in a mouthful of cake. Precise and delicately written, these stories are little windows into life. The cover image is from an original painting by Adam Drouet. Emma Timpany was born and grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her stories have won awards including The Sara Park Memorial Short Story Award 2013, The Society of Authors' Tom-Gallon Trust Award 2011 and The Society of Women Writers and Journalists' Short Story Award 2011. A pamphlet of her stories, Over The Dam, was published by Red Squirrel Press in April 2015. She currently lives in Cornwall. www.emmatimpany.wordpress.com

Memorandum is a haunting collection of poems that summons voices from the shadows of the First World War. Vanessa Gebbie transforms prosaic records of ordinary soldiers, and the physical landscape of battles, war graves and memorials, into poignant reflections on the small and greater losses to families and the world. Vanessa Gebbie is a writer of prose and poetry. Author of seven books, including a novel, short fictions and poetry, her work has been supported by an Arts Council England Grant for the Arts, a Hawthornden Fellowship and residencies at both Gladstone's Library and Anam Cara Writers' and Artists' Retreat. She teaches widely. www.vanessagebbie.com "From the idea of a shell reverting to its unmade, peaceful state to dead men buried in Brighton and France being mourned by their mother in Glasgow ... heartrending images such as the Tower of London's ceramic poppies seen as callow recruits, doubts about a corpse's identity and how dregs at the bottom of a cup can be reminiscent of the deadly Flanders mud. This is a modern view, wise and compassionate, of Europe's fatal wound." Max Egremont, author of Siegfried Sassoon and Some Desperate Glory, The First World War the Poets Knew "Vanessa Gebbie is that rare breed of poet who understands the trials and tribulations of the ordinary Tommy." Jeremy Banning, military historian and researcher, battlefield guide "The dead who linger around memorials and battlefields slowly step again into the light. History may remember them collectively, but Gebbie's achievement is to present, with sensitivity and without sentimentality, lives rooted in the particular rhythms of hometowns, families, and memories." John McCullough, author of Spacecraft and The Frost Fairs "These poems rise like ghosts from a scarred landscape." Caroline Davies, author of Convoy

<p>Central to this book is an appreciation of how nature is integral to the everyday objects in our lives. Dr Mark Everard, an ecosystems scientist and aquatic biologist, considers a diversity of 'everyday things', including fascinating facts about their ecological origins - from the tea we drink, to things we wear, read and enjoy, to the ecology of communities and space flight, and the important roles played by 'unappealing creatures' such as slugs and wasps. Dr Mark Everard is Associate Professor of Ecosystem Services at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), an Angling Trust Ambassador, Vice-President of the Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) and science advisor to Salmon & Trout Conservation UK. Mark is also a passionate fisherman and naturalist, frequently appearing in magazines, television and radio. "When people talk about 'celebrating nature', they usually have dramatic landscapes or charismatic creatures in mind. Mark Everard invites us to celebrate nature in the everyday, in the common places of our lives, and provides lots of information and inspiration along the way." Jonathon Porritt, founder director of Forum for the Future "The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of 'everyday things' that surround us, and which we perhaps take too much for granted." Professor James Longhurst, Assistant Vice Chancellor University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) "Mark Everard invites us to look a little closer at, and think a little harder about, the natural architecture of our cultural selves ... instructive and entertaining." Dr Robert Fish, Reader in Human Ecology, University of Kent Mark Everard's previous books include: • Britain's Freshwater Fishes. WildGuides/Princeton University Press (2013) • Britain's Game Fishes: Celebration and Conservation of Salmonids. Pelagic Press (2013) • The Hydropolitics of Dams: Engineering or Ecosystems? Zed Books (2013) • River Habitats for Coarse Fish: How fish use rivers and how we can help them. 5m Publishing (2015)</p>

<p>The Light Box places the personal alongside classic myths, the imagined lives, and afterlives, of ordinary people, cultural icons, and those depicted in their art. Stanley Spencer, Margaret Thatcher, two men kissing in an airport arrivals hall; in Rosie Jackson's hands, 'the ordinary becomes unfamiliar and scarred with legend'. Rosie Jackson works with creative writing and the arts in community and health settings. She has degrees from Warwick and York, has taught at the University of East Anglia, and is widely published. She lives near Frome in Somerset. "It's a long time since I was so enchanted with a body of poems; these haunt my imagination with their deft sleights-of-hand, shifting personae, lightly-handled depths of wit, heart-intelligence, compassion, perceptiveness. They intrigue, seduce, move, invite question. What gives Jackson's work its strength and rarity is her merging of the numinous with the power of the sensory world." Roselle Angwin, author of All the Missing Names of Love "Stonking good poems." Jo Bell, author of Kith "The Light Box expertly explores the territory of both heart and spirit. Confidently crafted poems, by turns intimate and expansive, bring together emotional authenticity and sparkling imagination. A richly rewarding collection." Stephen Boyce, author of The Sisyphus Dog "Detail after stunning detail exposes rapture, fear, longing. These poems will make your battered heart beat fast again." Claire Crowther, author of Silents</p>
