Intertidal by @Yuvan_aves is out today, with a foreword by Robert Macfarlane!
This spellbinding read from a leading Indian ecological activist, writer and educator is a deep observation of coast and wetland, climate and self.
A remarkable book! Congrats to amazing author Jo and her publisher @SRBraybrooke. And great teamwork with my colleague @florencerees93 The Bookseller - Rights - Ithaka pre-empts 'riveting and beautifully written investigation' by Joanne Briggs https://t.co/ZQ3HTur1qp
@JohannaTC The Scientist Who Wasn’t There: A True Story of Staggering Deception, out in June by Joanne Biggs. Nonfiction that reads like a novel; an investigation into a famous scientist who turned out not to be what he seemed, by his daughter.
‘Few memoirs in Westminster have been as anticipated … Refreshingly honest’ the first review for Kingmaker by Graham Brady is in, @christopherhope gives it four stars in @Telegraph
What’s happening in Gaza, the fact it goes on and on, day after day, massacre after massacre, ًis so horrific it’s hard to put into words, a world-changing crime against humanity facilitated and enabled by global leaders who should have fought with every last breath to stop it
'A British colonial army was defeated in the region in 1880. More than 120 years later, few officials in London knew anything about that history. Why was Britain going back?' @NorthAndrew on Helmand in @openDemocracy, from War & Peace & War https://t.co/pHE0BHCdsY
Just finished @NorthAndrew‘s War&Peace&War (lots of parallels there to what and how is happening now everywhere from Ukraine to Georgia), and next between @Shteyngart‘s Absurdistan and @yarotrof’s Our Enemies Will Vanish chose the latter. Sorry, Gary!
Huge congratulations to @ErnestScheyder, author of The War Below, on being long listed for the @FT & @Schroders Business Book of the Year Award 2024
“Will you write anything about being here?”
“Maybe,” I said.
“Write good things about us.”
An extremely gripping extract from War & Peace & War which details @NorthAndrew's kidnapping by the Taliban

A delightful morning touring London bookshops with @NorthAndrew as he signs copies of War & Peace & War. I loved editing Andrew’s deep dive into Afghanistan. Read it to understand this amazing, complex country, on the anniversary of the West’s withdrawal from Kabul.
“I can’t see a culture function and survive without women, and girls in schools”.
