Great writing isn’t born, it’s built—sentence by sentence. But too many writers—and writing guides—overlook this most important unit. The result? Manuscripts that will never be published and writing careers that will never begin. In this wickedly humorous manual, language columnist June Casagrande uses grammar and syntax to show exactly what makes some sentences great—and other sentences suck. With chapters on “Conjunctions That Kill” and “Words Gone Wild,” this lighthearted guide is perfect for anyone who’s dead serious about writing, from aspiring novelists to nonfiction writers, conscientious students to cheeky literati. So roll up your sleeves and prepare to craft one bold, effective sentence after another. Your readers will thank you.

Anecdote-rich, This Revealing But Celebratory Book Will Also Lift The Lid On The Stories Behind The Shows, Films And Plays That Made Up This Extraordinarily Prolific Career, Not To Mention Richard's Working And Personal Relationships With Many Of His Best-known Collaborators And Co-stars.

The first book of reportage from the front line of the Ukraine war. This is a powerful, moving first draft of history written by the award-winning Guardian journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Collusion and Shadow State.''Luke Harding has once again written a superb first draft of history, this time of the Ukrainian war. An excellent, moving account of an ongoing tragedy.'ANNE APPLEBAUMCompelling, important and heartbreaking with all the urgency and immediacy of outstanding war reportage.' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'Essential reading for those who want to understand the most important conflict of the 21st Century.'ELIOT HIGGINS, founder of Bellingcat'Brilliant... Harding is a one of the best experts on Putin's Russia. Invasion reads like an exciting military-political thriller, but all its characters and events are true.'ANDREY KURKOVFor months, the omens had pointed in one scarcely believable direction: Russia was about to invade Ukraine. And yet, the world was stunned by the epochal scale of the assault that began in February 2022. It was an attempt by one nation to devour another.Invasion is Luke Harding's compelling chronicle of the war that changed everything. For this breathtaking work of reportage he spent months reporting on the ground during the build up to the conflict and afterward; his book tells of the initial days of shock and panic, the grim reality of this ongoing war, and the unheard human stories behind the headlines. Invasion also offers insightful portraits of the the war's two great personalities. One, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is an actor-turned-president who rallied support on a global stage. The other, Vladimir Putin, is a dictator who dwells in a strange and unreachable realm. Harding examines the ideological, religious and personal reasons behind Putin's decision to invade. And he confronts a crucial question: which side will prevail in this terrible war?With the ripple effects of the largest armed conflict in Europe since 1945 already being felt beyond Ukraine and Russia's borders, it is more vital than ever to understand how the situation on the front line will have profound effects for us all. Written in Luke Harding's starkly transfixing style, Invasion makes for essential reading.'Luke Harding is one of the best reporters in the world.'ROBERTO SAVIANO, author of Gomorrah***Author royalties from this edition will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee's Ukraine Fund.

I planted a dog rose. Then I found a curious piece of driftwood and used this, and one of the necklaces of holey stones on the wall, to stake the rose. The garden had begun. I saw it as a therapy and a pharmacopoeia.'In 1986 artist and filmmaker, Derek Jarman, bought Prospect Cottage, a Victorian fisherman's hut on the desert sands of Dungeness. It was to be a home and refuge for Jarman throughout his HIV diagnosis, and it would provide the stage for one of his most enduring, if transitory projects - his garden. Conceived of as a 'pharmacopoeia' - an ever-evolving circle of stones, plants and flotsam sculptures all built and grown in spite of the bracing winds and arid shingle - it remains today a site of fascination and wonder.Pharmacopoeia brings together the best of Derek Jarman's writing on nature, gardening and Prospect Cottage. Told through journal entries, poems and fragments of prose, it paints a portrait of Jarman's personal and artistic reliance on the space Dungeness offered him, and shows the cycle of the years spent there in one moving collage.'[Derek] made of this wee house, his wooden tent pitched in the wilderness, an artwork - and out of its shingle skirts, an ingenious garden - now internationally recognised. But, first and foremost, the cottage was always a living thing, a practical toolbox for his work' Tilda Swinton, from her Foreword

For fans of Casey McQuiston and Alice Oseman, a girl falls for her best friend’s crush in this queer YA rom-com that’s equal parts hilarious and swoon-worthy.It was never Tilly’s intention to find love, but Cupid will get you when you least expect it. That’s exactly what happens when Tilly’s best friend, Teddy, ropes Tilly into a plan to woo his dream girl, the aspiring actress Katherine Cooper-Bunting. It turns out Teddy’s not the only one who finds her dreamy.But Katherine is off-limits.Avoiding temptation is easier said than done, though, as Tilly spends more time with Katherine.

So yeah, that’s a lot for any sixteen-year-old to handle without Cupid’s vengeful arrows getting involved.

This Fascinating Title Offers A New Look At Operation Market Garden And The Arnhem Campaign From The Perspective Of The German Forces Who Defended Against The Allied Offensive. In The Late Summer Of 1944, Ss-obergruppenführer Wilhelm “willi” Bittrich Found Himself In The Netherlands Surveying His Ii Ss Panzer Corps, Which Was In A Poor State Having Narrowly Escaped The Defeat In Normandy. He Was Completely Unaware That His Command Lay Directly In The Path Of A Major Allied Thrust: The September 17, 1944, Launch Of The Largest Airborne And Glider Operation In The History Of Warfare. Codenamed Operation Market Garden, It Was Intended To Outflank The German West Wall And “bounce” The Rhine At Arnhem, From Where The Allies Could Strike Into The Ruhr, Nazi Germany's Industrial Heartland. Such A Move Could Have Ended The War. However, Market Garden And The Battle For Arnhem Were A Disaster For The Allies. Put Together In Little Over A Week And Lacking In Flexibility, The Operation Became An All-or-nothing Race Against Time. The Plan To Link The Airborne Divisions By Pushing An Armored Division Up A Sixty-five-mile Corridor Was Optimistic At Best, And The British Drop Zones Were Not Only Too Far From Arnhem Bridge, But Also Directly Above Two Recuperating Ss Panzer Divisions. This New Book Explores The Operation From The Perspective Of The Germans As Renowned Historian Anthony Tucker-jones Examines How They Were Able To Mobilize So Swiftly And Effectively In Spite Of Depleted Troops And Limited Intelligence.
