By reading astrology through the lens of the tarot, we can uncover how to broaden our minds, smash stereotypes and discover the different facets of each sign's personality to reveal a deeper insight into us, our family, friends and lovers. Accompanied by a beautifully illustrated 78-strong deck, Cosmic Cards is a modern mystical toolkit that enhances our understanding of ourselves and others through the wisdom of astrology and tarot.

Elliott & Thompson Limited Why Is This a Question?: Everything About the
Book Synopsis'As entertaining as it is engrossing' John Banville 'Enlightening, delightful' Arthur der Weduwen, author of The Library Why don’t eleven and twelve end in –teen? The rest of our counting system sits in neatly arithmetical sets of ten, so why do these two rulebreakers seem so at odds with the numbers that follow them? Admittedly, that’s probably a question that might never have occurred to you. But if you’re even remotely interested in the origins and oddities of language, it’s likely also a question you’re now intrigued to know the answer to. Nor is it the only question: take a moment to think about how our language operates and even more spring mind. Why do these letters look the way they do? Why are some uppercase and others lowercase? Why are these words in this order? How are you understanding what these seemingly arbitrary shapes and symbols mean, while doubtless hearing them read to you in a voice inside your head? And what is this question mark really doing at this end of this sentence? Books explaining the origins of our most intriguing words and phrases have long proved popular, but they often overlook the true nuts and bolts of language: the origins of our alphabet and writing system; grammatical rules and conventions; the sound structure of language; and even how our brains and bodies interpret and communicate language itself. Why Is This a Question? is a fascinating and enlightening exploration of linguistic questions you’ve likely never thought to ask. ‘Every page will make you stop, think and wonder.’ James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of England ‘Enthralling, with a riveting “who knew?” moment on nearly every page.’ Caroline Taggart, author of Humble Pie and Cold Turkey Trade Review’As entertaining as it is engrossing’ John Banville ’Enlightening, delightful’ Arthur der Weduwen, author of The Library ‘Every page will make you stop, think and wonder.’ James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of England ‘Enthralling, with a riveting “who knew?” moment on nearly every page.’ Caroline Taggart, author of Humble Pie and Cold Turkey ‘Deft, informative, and packed with fascinating morsels’ Lev Parikian, author of Light Rains Sometimes Fall ‘[Paul Anthony Jones is] a first-rate collector of linguistic curios’ Times Literary Supplement

This little book is a work of art.’ Horatio Clare, author of The Light in the Dark ‘This stunning book made me want to pack all my woolies, candles, ample firewood and enough books for a year – and head to as northerly a location as I could find.’ Kerri ní Dochartaigh, Caught by the River ‘A delightful compendium’ The Herald ‘Winter has its own special magic, and this collection from around the world makes you want to pull on your boots and get out there.’ Saga Trade Review‘From the author of our former Non-Fiction Book of the Month Fifty Words for Snow comes a luminous collection of fascinating seasonal tales that explore everything from Tove Jansson's childhood to polar bird myths.’ Waterstones ‘As we travel into the coldest season and approach the shortest day of the year, this book is a perfect companion to help you while away the long wintry nights’ The Countryman ‘Winter has its own special magic, and this collection from around the world makes you want to pull on your boots and get out there.’ Saga ‘Rich, multi-layered and deeply meaningful. … This anthology isn’t twee or cutesy – it is profound, surprising and moving. It will transport you to another place and time and bring a new, nuanced understanding of our coldest season.’ Resurgence & Ecologist

Book SynopsisSince 1660 when actresses first began performing on the English stage, women have forged bright careers in theatre, while men called the shots. Four hundred years of women playwrights, from Aphra Behn to Caryl Churchill, yet plays by women make up less than a quarter of staged productions in the UK, leading to a scarcity of roles for women. With women buying most of the tickets, theatre productions risk losing their relevance to modern culture if they fail to represent the many and varied lives of women. With an overview of post-war theatre and 25 exclusive interviews with leading women theatre-makers, this book inspires us to create a truly equal and inclusive theatre today. Including interviews with: Nina Lee Aquino Sudha Buchar Moira Buffini Paule Constable Denise Gough Jill Greenhalgh Vicky Ireland Jude Kelly Bryony Lavery Rachel Maza Kumiko Mendl Katie Mitchell Marsha Norman Lynn Nottage Kate O'Donnell Winsome Pinnock Emma Rice Daryl Roth Jenny Sealey Saviana Stanescu Michelle Terry Kate Waters and more...Trade Review"An inclusive and all-around eye-opening account of how theatre has changed...an enlightening path into the dazzling minds of these groundbreaking women." - The Broadway World; "As a publication, 50 Women in Theatre is comprehensive and a good thing to have, an important collection of talent around the world." -The Reviews Hub; Star rating: five stars - Musical Theatre Review; Fight for gender equality is harder than ever: Read The Stage; "Or how about celebrating achievement? Part of a series called '50 Women in ...', 50 Women in Theatre must have been good fun and rather satisfying to research and assemble. It consists, after a detailed introduction, of 50 short celebrations of the contributions made to theatre by women since 1945. And they are wonderfully diverse both in terms of who they are and what they've achieved. Thus we go from choreographer Gillian Lyne to producer Thelma Holt, director Jenny Sealey and voice guru Cicely Berry. Actors include Audra McDonald, Meera Syal, Glenda Jackson and Judi Dench, We also read about producers such as Nica Burns, actor/directors like Michelle Terry and playwrights including Moira Buffini and Bryony Lavery. Some of these accounts are written in the third person (Caryl Churchill, Sonia Friedman) not least because some of them are dead (Joan Littlewood, Jocelyn Herbert) or, presumably, preferred not to be interviewed. Others are presented as "in their own words" and written at greater length usually in a question and answer format. It's an attractive hard back book on shiny paper with lots of coloured photographs so it would make a good present." - Sardine Magazine, no.56

HarperCollins Publishers Raven Smiths Men
Book Synopsis''A brilliant writer.'' Russell ToveyThoroughly entertaining.' OTEGHA UWAGBAFunny and beautifully revealing.' BELLA MACKIEWise, sharp and naughty.' THE OBSERVERHerein lie the men of Raven Smith. Each of them has left a mark, a memory, a stain, whether they meant to or not. Some hit deep, and I caught feels. Some I discarded like a clip-on neck tie'From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Raven Smith's Trivial Pursuits, comes a pin sharp, hilarious and incisive exploration of what it means to be a man in the modern day.This book is about men because, in an annoying way, everything is. Funny men, tall men, charming men. Stepdads, actual dads and ripped sports dads'. Raven Smith has been trying to distil what it is about men that has kept him intrigued his whole life.Part memoir, part exploration of the peculiar dynamics and amorphous boundaries of masculinity, Raven looks unflinchingly at his own history, offering a cautious reverence of a life lived in parallel with other men. BlendiTrade Review PRAISE FOR RAVEN SMITH’S MEN The antithesis to the plot of Pride and Prejudice, Raven Smith retains both his pride and prejudice as we cringe along to his multifaceted sexual conquests and misdemeanours. Constantly reminding us of our own rush from puberty to adulthood, Raven’s searingly honest voice spirals us downwards into an ever shifting personal rabbit hole from which, presented with a much needed emotional hand job, we climb back out into the light. A brilliant writer, he takes up all the space, pushing over extended budgie smugglers into gaps that have been missing from the contemporary autobiography for far too long.” RUSSELL TOVEY, ACTOR, WRITER & BROADCASTER ‘A thoroughly entertaining, no-holds-barred examination of modern masculinity that offers up conclusions as surprising as they are perceptive." OTEGHA UWAGBA ‘Raven Smith’s Men is a book both unfairly funny and beautifully revealing. I felt like a curtain had been pulled back, allowing me not only to inhabit his brain for a while, but also to look at men through the eyes of one who finds them so interesting, frustrating and addictive. Raven himself is the lynchpin of this book, and his writing is so near perfect I could read about this particular man all day.’BELLA MACKIE ‘MEN is stylish, funny, and acid-tongued, which is to say it’s everything I love about Raven Smith’s writing” MONICA HEISEY ‘In a nutshell: Boys boys boys. Writer, charmer-about-town and meme magician…part-screamingly funny memoir, part-treatise on men, patriarchy and masculinity – and where he fits into it all.’ EVENING STANDARD ‘Raven Smith’s Men is a new collection of essays about the writer’s conflicted love for men, and it’s just as wise, sharp and naughty as you’d expect from one of the funniest men on the internet.’ THE OBSERVER
