As the storm clouds of war gather, everyone will have to make a heart-breaking choice to save the lives of those they love...

Verso Books The Palestine Laboratory
Book SynopsisShortlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights WritingShortlisted for the 2023 Walkley non fiction journalism prizeIsrael's military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies.

It's here that they have perfected the architecture of control. Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting.

Amber Books Ltd Abandoned Train Stations
Book SynopsisMysterious ghost stations forgotten beneath the cities of Paris and London; desolate grand rail hubs in the Pyrenean mountains; metro stations in China that terminate in a wasteland; Abandoned Train Stations looks at some of the thousands of disused station buildings, platforms, lines, tunnels, and rail yards left behind by modernity. Organised by continent, this book takes the reader to every corner of the globe. Explore Canfranc International Railway Station, once a busy mountain hub of international travel between France and Spain; see the eerily empty platform at Kings Cross Thameslink, London, today a service tunnel following the station’s closure in the early 2000s; examine the grandiose Michigan Central Train Station in Detroit, an historic Amtrak rail depot, and once the tallest rail station in the world; marvel at the dusty, overgrown shell of Abkhazia’s once beautiful railway station in Psyrtskha, a physical legacy of the former Soviet era in the Caucasus; see the disused Tiwanaku train station, situated almost 4,000 metres above sea level in the Bolivian Andes; or learn about the fascinating Istvántelek Train Yard, in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, better known as the ‘Red Star train graveyard’ because of its many Soviet-era engine wrecks. Illustrated with more than 200 photographs, Abandoned Train Stations provides a fascinating pictorial journey through the little-known remnants of rail transport infrastructure from every part of the world.Table of ContentsContents include: Europe Clifton Rocks Railway, Bristol, England Swanbourne Station, Buckinghamshire, England Loudwater Station, near Wycombe, England Spencer Road Halt railway station, Surrey, England Folkestone Harbour Railway Station, England Healey Mills Marshalling Depot, Yorkshire, England, Thameslink Pentonville Road, London, England Coombe Road Railway Station, London Kingsway Tramway Subway at Southampton Row, Holborn, London Crouch End Station, London Down Street, London Eastern platform of Strand tube station, London Aldwych Tube Station, London Waiting room on the Dunfermline to Alloa Line, Scotland Corrour Station, Fort William, Scotland Parkmore narrow gauge station, N.
