  A rare memoir of underwater warfare in the treacherous Baltic.  Red Star Under The Baltic is the gripping memoir of a Soviet submariner during his years at sea in the Baltic during the Second World War. Not only is this a superb record of the appalling conditions endured on these basic craft, but a very human account detailing the comradeship and tensions among the crew as they operated in the most life-threatening conditions.   Viktor Korzh vividly describes the many actions that he and his comrades were involved in. Many of these were successful, and Korzh witnessed numerous engagements and sinkings of German shipping. However, it was by no means a one-sided contest, and there were some horrifyingly close calls. The comparatively shallow waters of the Baltic were less than ideal for submarine warfare. Perhaps the most dangerous and dramatic moment came when his submarine became entangled in netting. After frantic efforts, they just managed to extricate themselves before being depth-charged. Another constant threat was of mechanical malfunction.   It is extremely rare to have a totally authentic Russian account like this one, which has been superbly translated into English. It is a thrilling memoir, filled with nonstop action and underwater danger.  Previously published as Reserve of Strength

  The author of The Haunted Heart of Denver goes beyond the city limits to investigate the supernatural surroundings of Colorado’s capital.   In Denver, the spirits aren’t just penned to the city center. No, even the suburbs and outlying cities have the kind of history that could give quite a fright to the unsuspecting. Folks might be surprised to learn that a house in northwest Denver comes fully equipped with a basement theater—and spectral performers as well—and former phantom residents still roam their old homestead in what is now an Adams County open space. From Westminster’s Bowles House Museum, where even the ghosts were involved in renovations, to Littleton’s Melting Pot restaurant, a former Carnegie library that offers diners a side of the supernatural, accidental ghost hunter Kevin Pharris explores further tales of supernatural haunts and unexplained phenomena surrounding the Mile High City.   Includes photos!

  ‘An inspirational call to arms’ DAILY MAIL 
  ‘This book is so sensible, so substantially researched, so briskly written, so clear in its arguments, that one wishes Baroness Cavendish was still whispering into the prime ministerial ear’ THE TIMES 
  ‘A thoughtful handbook to help societies age gracefully’ FINANCIAL TIMES 
  ‘This bold, visionary book is a wake-up call to governments. It is a wake-up call to us all’ SUNDAY TIMES 
  From award-winning journalist, Camilla Cavendish, comes a profound analysis of one of the biggest challenges facing the human population today. 
  The world is undergoing a dramatic demographic shift. By 2020, for the first time in history, the number of people aged 65 and over will outnumber children aged five and under. But our systems are lagging woefully behind this new reality. In Extra Time, Camilla Cavendish embarks on a journey to understand how different countries are responding to these unprecedented challenges. 
  Travelling across the world in a carefully researched and deeply human investigation, Cavendish contests many of the taboos around ageing. Interviewing leading scientists about breakthroughs that could soon transform the quality and extent of life, she sparks a debate about how governments, businesses, doctors, the media and each one of us should handle the second half of life. She argues that if we take a more positive approach, we should be able to reap the benefits of a prolonged life. But that will mean changing our attitudes and 
  using technology, community, even anti-ageing pills, to bring about a revolution. 
  In Extra Time, Camilla Cavendish explores the intersection of health, science, and social welfare, challenging the taboos around ageing and death. She presents a compelling argument for a revolution in public policy and services, advocating for a more positive approach to the second half of life. 
  For fans of Michael Bhaskar (Human Frontiers), Daniel J. Levitin (Successful Aging), David Spiegelhalter (Covid By Numbers), Mariana Mazzucato (The Entrepreneurial State), and Martin Wolf (The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism).
