Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was chosen as the next Pope in one of the shortest conclaves in history. He is the first Pope Francis, the first Jesuit Pope, the first Pope to come from Latin America. Who is this man, & how did he come to such high position? This book begins with the arrival of Bergoglio`s family in Buenos Aires in 1929, travelling from Italy, explores his childhood as one of a family of five, his first job as a factory cleaner & the bout of pneumonia which forced him to reassess his life completely. Then from his early days as a seminarian through his experience as a teacher of psychology & literature, through to his consecration as a cardinal by Pope John Paul II, Bergoglio shares his experiences of faith & life. The difficult subjects are met head on, from the declining numbers of priests to celibacy & even the sex abuse scandals that have rocked the church
- & through it all, Bergoglio`s humble approach & desire to live an austere & faithful life shine through. This is a Pope who will not allow himself to be fitted to a traditional mould
- & the world waits with bated breath to see what his time as leader of the world`s largest church will bring.

The major art installation Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red at the Tower of London marked one hundred years since the first full day of Britain`s involvement in the First World War. Created by artists Paul Cummins & Tom Piper, 888, 246 ceramic poppies progressively filled the Tower`s famous moat between 17 July & 11 November 2014. Each poppy represented a British military fatality during the war. The poppies encircled the iconic landmark, creating a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower, which attracted more than 5 million visitors. The scale of the installation was intended to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary & create a powerful visual commemoration. Featuring forewords by Paul Cummins & Tom Piper & stunning photography of the installation, The Poppies: Blood Red Lands & Seas of Red is the only official publication to mark this landmark event. As thousands of the poppies used in the installation tour the country during the remainder of the First World War Centenary, this publication will undoubtedly prove popular with visitors to both the Tower & the new venues alike. ...
