Feet in the Clouds
Aurum Press 2013; US$ 13.11Nearly 10 years after its first publication, Aurum are re-issuing this classic running book which has defined a genre. It includes an introduction from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane and an epilogue from Richard Askwith.

The Bluebird and the Dead Lake
Aurum Press 2013; US$ 7.29In 1964, in Australia's remote outback, on the dazzling saltpan of Lake Eyre, Donald Campbell set out to drive his Bluebird car at over 400 miles an hour - faster than any man in history.

Leaves on the Line
Aurum Press 2013; US$ 14.58Whether it?s leaves on the line or the wrong kind of snow, whether the extortionately priced, curled-up sandwich on sale in the buffet car, or the militancy of the rail unions that seem to be endlessly on strike over nothing, everyone in Britain has an opinion about our railways. After the weather, they are probably the country?s most reliable talking... more...
Outpost of Occupation
Aurum Press 2011; US$ 13.11The Channel Islands were what could have happened to all of us: a test-run of German occupation. That was certainly Hitler's plan.

The following five years in their history offer an... more...

But what did the men really do all day...? In fact, as this extraordinary book shows, British prisoners showed the most amazing ingenuity... more...
The Man Who Invented the Daleks
Aurum Press 2011; US$ 13.11Terry Nation was one of the most successful writers for television to come out of Britain. Survivors, the show that was his vision of a post-apocalyptic England, so haunted audiences in the 1970s that the BBC revived it over thirty years on. Blake's 7 endures as a cult sci-fi classic and his most fearsome creations, the Daleks, ensured - and at times,... more...

Shadowplayers
Aurum Press 2011; US$ 13.11In 1978, a 'Factory for Sale' sign gave Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson a name for their fledgling Manchester club night. Though they couldn't have known it at the time this was the launch of one of the most significant musical and cultural legacies of the late twentieth century. The club's electrifying live scene soon translated to vinyl, and Factory... more...
