MONTY PYTHON’SFLYING CIRCUS:HIDDEN TREASURES

CONTAINS REMOVABLE MEMORABILIA

Carlton Books presents Monty Python’s Flying Circus: Hidden Treasures, the complete history of Monty Python, with bits in. Never before has the story of the Pythons been so brilliantly told, in words, and rare, unseen photographs and fascinating examples of removable and on-the-page facsimile memorabilia.

The “Dead Parrot” sketch. “The Lumberjack Song”. “Argument Clinic”. “Spam”. Monty Python’s Flying Circus was packed with famous skits and classic one-liners, many of which are globally recognized from the Hollywood Bowl to the University of Woolloomooloo. Their irreverent humour is the yardstick by which others are judged and the adjective “Pythonesque” has been part of the English language for years. This book delves into the official Monty Python archives for the first time and tells the Monty Python story through photographs, text and props in the shape of removable facsimile memorabilia, including hand-scribbled scripts, never-before-published cue sheets, postcards, programmes and more.

ADRIAN BESLEYenjoyed a long career at the BBC in London as acopywriter. He went on to write for a variety of children’s television series, including the classic Wombles and Upstairs Downstairs Bears.

He grew up an avid fan of Monty Python’s Flying Circus and has realised a dream in spending his time researching and writing this book. Besley won the Bloomsbury Short Story Competition in 2014 and has worked on a wide range of humour, sport and popular culture books, includ-ing the popular YouTube World Records, The Dangerous Book for Idiots and The Outdoor Book for Adventurous Boys.He lives in London.

REVOLUTION

UPRISINGS THAT SHAPED THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

The twentieth century was an age of revolutions. As the pace of social and economic change quickened and the savagery of technological warfare destabilised societies, intolerable pressures were created which exploded into violent political movements. These overthrew longstanding regimes and radically reshaped social orders, beginning with the monarchies in China and Russia, the latter transformed into a communist society which sought to export its revolution abroad.

Revolution examines all the key revolutions of the twentieth century, from the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, through the 1917 October Revolution, which overthrew the Tsarist regime in Russia, to those which accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union at the century’s end. It also encompasses the democratic revolutions that overthrew a string of dictatorships from the 1980s onwards. Following the narrative thread through 17 revolutionary movements and illustrated with contemporary photographs and documents, this is an indispensable guide to a phenomenon that shaped and overshadowed much of the twentieth century.

• Lucinda Hawksley is the great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Dickens.

THE TRAGEDY OF A PRE-RAPHAELITESUPERMODEL

Saved from the drudgery of a working-class existence by a young Pre-Raphaelite artist, Lizzie Siddal rose to become one of the most famous faces in Victorian Britain and a pivotal figure of London’s artistic world, until tragically ending her young life in a laudanum-soaked suicide in 1862. In the twenty-first century, even those who do not know her name always recognise her face: she is Millais’ doomed Ophelia and Rossetti’s beatified Beatrice.

With many parallels in the modern-day world of art and fashion, this biography takes Lizzie from the background of Dante Rossetti’s life and, finally, brings her to the forefront of her own.

THE LASTHORSEMEN

THE LASTSHEPHERDS

A YEAR AT SILLYWREA, BRITAIN’S ONLY HORSE-POWERED FARM

A century ago, power on farms was provided by one and a half million heavy horses, the pride of rural Britain. Today, heavy horses in the countryside are a distant memory, except Sillywrea Farm in Northumberland. It is the last farm in the country where all the jobs requiring the strength and power usually provided by machinery are still done by horses.

John Dodd’s family have lived at Sillywrea farm for more than 150 years and horses have always been the source of power. The work is hard, but John, his son-in-law David Wise, and their five huge Clydesdales run the farm to the rhythms of the seasons, allowing nature to lead the way.

The Last Horsemen provides a glimpse of a unique way of life and, in today’s world of intensive farming and mass-produced food, is a reminder that we can still learn from the past.

A VANISHING WAY OF LIFE ON BRITAIN’S TRADITIONAL HILL FARMS

Once the UK’s farmers employed thousands of shepherds, but a slump in sheep farming has cut a swathe through their ranks; nowadays shepherds are virtually a thing of the past, and most flocks are herded by farmers on quad bikes. The Last Shepherds follows hill shepherds Dave Baxter, and Stewart and Gwen Wallace through the cycle of hill farming in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland - lambing in spring, haymaking, shearing in the summer, then autumn lamb sales and winter feeding. This engrossing book is an extraordinary record of a vanishing way of life on Britain’s traditional hill farms.

CHARLES BOWDENis a Northumberland farmer’s son who read English at Oxford before joining Thomson Newspapers in Newcastle. He was agricultural editor of the Newcastle Journal from 1975 to 1985 when he moved to Tyne Tees Television to produce the weekly farming programme they made for ITV.

GREAT MILITARY BLUNDERS

GREAT NAVAL BLUNDERS

HISTORY’S WORST BATTLEFIELD DECISIONS FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY

From ancient times to the Bay of Pigs and the Falklands War, military history has been marked as much by misjudgements and incompetence as by gallantry and glory. Such blunders have sometimes ended in tragedy, sometimes in farce - such as the English troops, supposedly marching on Cadiz in 1625, who instead got drunk in a salt marsh. Sometimes they have ended in triumph, despite all the odds. In this fascinating and entertaining collection, author Geoffrey Regan not only recounts some of the staggering stories, but also highlights the kinds of difficulties that can lead to military disaster. His anecdotes encompass every aspect of warfare from the insanity of commanders to the provision of inadequate supplies.

HISTORY’S WORST SEA BATTLE DECISIONS FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY

Who was responsible for the design of the Admiral Popov, the circular Russian battleship that wouldn’t steer straight? Why did Lord Anson set out to circumnavigate the world with a crew of Chelsea pensioners? And how did the British cruiser HMS Trinidad manage to torpedo itself in the Arctic. The answers to these questions and details of numerous other entertaining and unbelievable historical events are revealed in this absorbing survey of naval incompetence from Roman times to the Falklands War. Bestselling author Geoffrey Regan certainly sets out to prove that there is truth in the old adage “Worse things happen at sea”.

Crammed with intriguing and often bizarre anecdotes and over fifity illuminating illustrations, Great Naval Blunders takes a serious, but often entertaining look at the misjudgements and oversights of captains, fleet commanders, strategic planners and ship designers over the ages.

GEOFFREY REGANwas a History Master at Charter-house School, Godalming and Deputy Headmaster and Acting Headmaster at Halliford School. He wrote 30 histor-ical and educational books including, Military Blunders, More Military Blunders, Naval Blunders, Historical Blunders, Royal Blunders, Flying Blunders, Blue on Blue and Fight or Flight.

THE COMPLETEGUIDE TO NUTRIENTS

HOW TO LIVE MINDFULLY IN A DIGITAL WORLD

More and more we rely on digital connection to fulfil our needs but so many of these needs cannot be met by a smartphone. Skype and FaceTime have taken the place of meetings with people; instead of playing with children, digital devices are used to entertain them; smartphone messages of no real importance are read while in the company of others.

Through self-help assessments, step-by-step programmes and rebalancing techniques, this essential guide shows you how technology can still play a useful and rewarding role in your life but not at the expense of personal relationships, and provides tools to enable you to create a healthy balance between the two.

AN A-Z OF SUPERFOODS, HERBS, VITAMINS, MINERALS AND SUPPLEMENTS

Dr Michael Sharon gives straight-talking, informed and sensible advice in this invaluable A-Z reference that helps you understand the active benefits of the foods, herbs, vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health and wellbeing. It enables you to take matters back into your own hands and use foods and supplements as a way to stay healthy and cope with illness and everyday stress.

In this helpful dictionary, you will encounter the most common everyday foods, such as kale and almonds, as well as the oldest natural medicines in the world, such as olive oil and yoghurt, and nutritional supplements from guarana to St John’s Wort. Each entry gives a definition in plain English - what it is, where it comes from, the form it takes, how to prepare it; medicinal health benefits and a recommended daily dose.
