One of the most comforting foods is pastry & it is an ingredient used the world over. Pastry started life as a simple ground grain & water paste that was baked around a substantial filling to act as protection from contaminants
- more like an ancient cling film or foil than a food. In fact, the pastry casing wasn't even eaten, it was broken off & discarded, leaving the filling unharmed & perfect for eating. Over the years, the recipe for pastry has been developed into something that is as equally delicious to eat as the filling or topping it houses. Many of us have at least one family member who has made or makes a great pie, & it seems to be one of those dishes that instantly bring to mind a great foodie memory to anyone who loves home baking. The book will include recipes for sweet & savoury pies, pastries & tarts, & will include dishes from all over the world, from American apple pie to French tarte aux pommes to delicate sweet pastries from the Middle East. Packed with over 100 recipes & 50 stunning recipe photographs, this will be a cookbook to cherish. It is suitable for keen home cooks looking to expand their repertoire, & those cooking for friends & family
- a pie is the perfect dish for sharing.

From Carole Bayer Sager & Peter Allen, to Barenaked Ladies & Hugh Jackman, we've been told for 30 years that Everything old is new again. Now, after decades of primarily kiddie fare, it applies once more to comics as the join movies, music & mainstream print as a true entertainment medium. No longer the fanboy niche they had steered themsleves into, whether you call them comics, graphic novels, manga, fumetti or bande dessinees, comic art has blossomed & as you will see from book it embraces all styles in its visual storytelling. Noir, expressionism, abstraction, retro, postimpressionism, even primitivism & cubism are eagerly embraced. Just as television found its rightful place as radio with pictures following early resistance from Luddite elitists, so comics have risen above the scornful notion that stories don't need visuals &, as a medium, embrace the fullspectrum of entertainment. But comics have a distinct advantage that radio, TV & film could never lay claim to; they promote literacy by making reading fun. ...

A true-life sporting memoir of one of the best batsman in the game who stunned the cricket world when he prematurely ended his own England career. Trescothick's brave & soul-baring account of his mental frailties opens the way to a better understanding of the unique pressures experienced by modern-day professional sportsmen. At 29, Marcus Trescothick was widely regarded as one of the batting greats. With more than 5, 000 Test runs to his name & a 2005 Ashes hero, some were predicting this gentle West Country cricket nut might even surpass Graham Gooch's record to become England's highest ever Test run scorer. But the next time Trescothick hit the headlines it was for reasons no one but a handful of close friends & colleagues could have foreseen. On Saturday 25 February 2006, four days before leading England into the first Test against India in place of the injured captain Vaughan, Trescothick was out for 32 in the second innings of the final warm-up match. As he walked from the field he fought to calm the emotional storm that was raging inside him, at least to hide it from prying eyes. In the dressing room he broke down in tears, overwhelmed by a blur of anguish, uncertainty & sadness he had been keeping at bay for longer than he knew. Within hours England's best batsman was on the next flight home. His departure was kept secret until after close of play when coach Duncan Fletcher told the stunned media his acting captain had quit the tour for 'personal, family reasons.' Until now, the full, extraordinary story of what happened that day & why, of what preceded his breakdown has never been told. He reveals for the first time that he almost flew home from the 2004 tour to South Africa
- of what caused it & of what followed
- his comeback to the England side & a second crushing breakdown nine months later that left him unable to continue the 2006-07 Ashes tour down under. Coming Back to Me replaces the myths & rumours with the truth as Trescothick talks with engaging openness & enthusiasm about his rise to the top of international cricket; & describes with equal frankness his tortured descent into private despair.
