Poetry was Louis de Bernieres` first literary love & Imagining Alexandria is his debut poetry collection. Here the author of the much-loved Captain Corelli`s Mandolin returns us to the vivid Mediterranean landscape of his fiction. De Bernieres was introduced to Greek poetry while in Corfu in 1983, & since then he has always travelled with a book of Cavafy`s poetry in his pocket. Not surprisingly, his own poems about the distant past, the erotic & the philosophical owe much to the influence of the great Alexandrian poet. Beautifully illustrated with line drawings by Donald Sammut, this is a collection rich in sensuality, nostalgia, & music. ...

Imagining the Arctic explores the culture & politics of polar exploration & the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Much of exploration was in fact theatre: a series of performances to capture public attention & persuade governments to finance ambitious proposals. The achievements of explorers were promoted, celebrated, & manipulated, whilst explorers themselves became the subject of huge attention. Huw Lewis-Jones draws upon recovered texts & striking images, many reproduced for the first time since the nineteenth century, to show how exploration was projected through a series of spectacular visuals, helping us to reconstruct the ways that heroes & the wilderness were imagined. Elegantly written & richly illustrated, Imagining the Arctic offers original insights into our understanding of exploration & its pull on the public imagination. ...

Immigration divides our globalising world like no other issue. We are swamped by bogus asylum-seekers & infiltrated by terrorists, our jobs stolen, our benefit system abused, our way of life destroyed
- or so we are told. Philippe Legrain, author of the critically acclaimed OPEN WORLD, has written the first book that looks beyond the headlines. Why are ever-rising numbers of people from poor countries arriving in Europe, North America & Australasia? Can we keep them out? Should we even be trying? Combining compelling first-hand reporting from around the world, incisive socio-economic analysis & a broad understanding of what is at stake politically & culturally, IMMIGRANTS is a passionate, but lucid book. In our open world, more people will inevitably move across borders, Legrain says
- & we should generally welcome them. They do the jobs we can`t or won`t do
- & their diversity enriches us all. Left & right; free-marketeers & campaigners for global justice; enlightened patriots
- all should rally behind the cause of freer migration, because They need Us & We need Them.
