On 26 April 1986, at 1.23am, a series of explosions shook the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. Flames lit up the sky & radiation escaped to contaminate the land & poison the people for years to come. While officials tried to hush up the accident, Svetlana Alexievich spent years collecting testimonies from survivors
- clean-up workers, residents, firefighters, resettlers, widows, orphans
- crafting their voices into a haunting oral history of fear, anger & uncertainty, but also dark humour & love. A chronicle of the past & a warning for our nuclear future, Chernobyl Prayer shows what it is like to bear witness, & remember in a world that wants you to forget.

The gripping story of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union from an acclaimed historian & writer On the morning of 26 April 1986 Europe witnessed the worst nuclear disaster in history: the explosion of a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine. The outburst put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation. In the end, less than five percent of the reactor`s fuel escaped, but that was enough to contaminate over half of Europe with radioactive fallout. In Chernobyl, Serhii Plokhy recreates these events in all of their drama, telling the stories of the firefighters, scientists, engineers, workers, soldiers, & policemen who found themselves caught in a nuclear Armageddon & succeeded in doing the seemingly impossible: extinguishing the nuclear inferno & putting the reactor to sleep. While it is clear that the immediate cause of the accident was a turbine test gone wrong, Plokhy shows how the deeper roots of Chernobyl lay in the nature of the Soviet political system & the flaws of its nuclear industry. A little more than five years later, the Soviet Union would fall apart, destroyed from within by its unsustainable communist ideology & the dysfunctional managerial & economic systems laid bare in the wake of the disaster.A poignant, fast paced account of the drama of heroes, perpetrators, & victims, Chernobyl is the definitive history of the world`s worst nuclear disaster. ...

Apsley Cherry-Garrard (1886-1959) was one of the youngest members of Captain Scott`s final expedition to the Antarctic. Despite appalling short sight, Cherry undertook an epic journey in the Antarctic winter to collect the eggs of the Emperor penguin. The temperature fell to -70, it was dark all the time, his teeth shattered in the cold & the tent blew away. ` But we kept our tempers, ` Cherry wrote, `even with God.` After serving in the First World War, Cherry was invalided home, & with the zealous encouragement of his neighbour Bernard Shaw he wrote a masterpiece: The Worst Journey in the World. The story of Captain Scott`s doomed expedition to the South Pole has been told more than once. But not that of the author of that classic masterpiece. Sara Wheeler has travelled extensively in the Antarctic & has had the unrestricted cooperation of Cherry-Garrard`s family in writing this biography. The result is a poignant portrait of Cherry, detailed & with plenty of introspection into the complex personality of the Antarctic explorer. Through Cherry`s life, Wheeler also gives a portrait of the great changes that took place during his life
- in Britain & in the world. Another excellent book from Sara Wheeler.

This title captures the essence of Japan's ancient symbol of mortality amidst Kyoto's beauty. Cherry trees, symbol of the Japanese spring, flower in a riotous blaze of glory from late March through early April, suffusing the surrounding landscape with springtime colour. The peak cherry-viewing season, however, is extremely short, blossoms scattering without trace in little over a week. Despite the fleeting nature of the spectacle, cherry blossoms have occupied a special place in the hearts of the Japanese since earliest times. Doing its utmost to dazzle during its short life before gracefully bowing out, cherry blossoms are seen as an ideal model for life & death, & a symbol embodying both the glorious & ephemeral natures of human existence. As such, over the centuries they have provided inspiration for poets, painters, & many other artists. Identifying in nature a sublime spirituality transcending external beauty, & elevating that spirituality to an art form lies at the core of Japanese culture. For over a millennium, the city of Kyoto has made this aesthetic sensibility its own. In these pages, readers will find a rare fusion of centuries-old culture, & natural splendour unchanged since ancient times. This is a superbly illustrated book showing the beauty of cherry blossoms in Kyoto. It features forty-eight classic cherry blossom-viewing locations captured by three photographers born & raised in Kyoto. There is a bilingual map section that provides address information & contact details for each location: practical & portable. ...
