The conversion of a local beauty spot into a municipal graveyard is the starting point for New Cemetery. From regular walks around the boundary near his moorland home in West Yorkshire, Simon Armitage chronicles the extraordinary transformation of landscape both outer and inner. These luminous and wry poems - composed in short-lined tercets - reflect the changing world: one of unstable weather patterns and unpredictable news events, all observed across a few acres of Pennine upland. As phases of lockdown come and go and the cemetery fills up with his new neighbours, Armitage charts personal losses of his own, often retreating to his garden shed to navigate blank paper with pen and ink - and the results are as surprising as they are life-enhancing.

Elms is one of the greatest chroniclers of our age. He was born to write this book. Dylan JonesFantastic! It is like time travel . . . [to] the most exciting, innovative, outrageous, wildest, most creative club ever. Steve DaggerElms was not only in the room where it happened, he was at the very heart of it. Gary KempThe perfect witness and commentator: open-minded, outward looking, and an expert and shrewd cultural analyst.Lavinia GreenlawSharp, funny and caked in two-day old eyeliner. Jodie HarshA history of the club that set the 80s alight, by the much-loved presenter, writer and Blitz attendee Robert Elms.The short-lived Blitz club in Londons Covent Garden was more than somewhere to hang out or be seen: it was a catalyst for cultural explosion, a counter-culture blast against everything Thatchers leadership had ushered in by the dawn of the 80s. Tuesday nights boasted a ferocious, fearless cast - from Boy George and Spandau Ballet to Grayson Perry and Peter Doig, to Michele Clapton, Sade and Alexander McQueen. This was the vanguard of a different England; socially liberal, loud, proud and diverse, fiercely individualistic and determined to succeed. Britain was black and white; the Blitz Kids switched on the colour.In Blitz, Elms reflects on a club night founded by working-class kids, one whose impact reverberated beyond its doors, through the worlds of Art, Literature, Fashion and Music, and into the present day.

Discover how Aristotelian thought has shaped Christianity through history and remains relevant for Christians todayWhen Christians of any age, country, or denomination debate the nature of the good life, the soul, free will, or design, Aristotle lies behind their logic as well as their rhetoric. Although Aristotle did not have access to the Bibles special revelation, he made full use of general revelation to arrive at deep truths about the nature of God, human identity, and the universe. In the Catholic Middle Ages the spiritual vision that undergirded Dantes Divine Comedy was strongly indebted to Aristotles cosmology, and in the Protestant Reformation and Enlightenment the social vision of a well-run state was equally indebted to his political science.In a follow up to his well-loved book From Plato to Christ, renowned scholar Louis Markos takes us on a vigorous and celebratory journey through the work of Platos greatest student, demonstrating Aristotles often unacknowledged influence on the Christian faith. In Markoss hands, Aristotle is far from an irrelevant ancient philosopher but is instead an important conversation partner for some of historys greatest Christian thinkers and a thoughtful guide to todays most challenging questions.With this book, youll: Consider the influence of Aristotles thought on the Christian faith, Carefully analyze several of Aristotles best-known texts, Trace Aristotles influence upon many key theologians in Christian history, and Understand Aristotles continuing importance for Christians today. This book is a perfect addition to any classroom that seeks to understand how classical thought intersects with Christianity, both past and present. Grab your copy today and explore the relationship between Aristotelian philosophy and Christianity.

A delicious, neon-soaked fever dream.Munroe BergdorfNostalgic, salacious and bitingly witty. Joe LycettI couldnt put it down. Annie Macmanus The defining book on the iconic noughties-era of pop culture in London as told by DJ Jodie Harsh, who saw, did and survived it all.Jodie Harsh arrived in London aged fifteen in 2001, heading straight off the train from Canterbury to her first club night at the Astoria. Intoxicated by this initial taste of city nightlife, she didnt leave the party for years, falling in with the right wrong people and exploring the sides of London best experienced under cover of darkness.Throughout the noughties, from Camden and Soho to Mayfair, from Notting Hill and Primrose Hill to Hackney Road, the city was a messy, beating, slick and sordid melting pot. New music, new fashion, new art, all came together in a mad, dizzying rush before - and during - the financial crash of 2008. Different scenes collided, exploded, were reborn and shaped across the city, at rapid speed.Harsh grabs us by the hand and leads us back to those decadent times: from the Astoria to The Cross, the Soho Revue Bar to Mahiki, Boombox to The End and her famous friends houses; to a time before social media and cameraphones were ubiquitous and a life without their perpetual scrutiny allowed for a more liberated, hedonistic and creative existence. You had to be there, and Jodie Harsh was. Every single night.
