Half a century ago a youth appeared from the American hinterland and began a cultural revolution. The world is still coming to terms with what he did. How he did it - and why - has never been fully explored. In Once Upon a Time, award-winning writer Ian Bell draws together the tangled strands of the many lives of Bob Dylan in all their contradictory brilliance. For the first time, the laureate of modern America is set in his entire context: musical, historical, literary, political and personal. In this acclaimed book, full of new insights into the legendary singer, his songs, his life and his era, the artist who invented himself in order to reinvent America is uncovered. Once Upon a Time is a biographical study of a personality that has splintered and reformed, time after time, in a country forever struggling to understand itself. Dylan has become the puzzle that illuminates. Here, in the first part of a major two-volume work, the puzzle is explained.

The victory at Dunbar of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army over the Scots under David Leslie merits a major place in the long succession of Anglo-Scottish battles. The Scots had brought Cromwell's invading army to its knees, but Cromwell took the offensive and, in one of the great upsets of military history, the Scots army was routed. The triumph secured Cromwell's reputation as the outstanding general of the age and demonstrated the toughness and flair of the New Model Army he commanded. Peter Reese's exciting account of this extraordinary battle is the first full-length study to be published.

Nostalgia is a wonderful way to pay our tribute to the past. The writings in this volume sensitively evoke the past and create a beautiful canvas of memories, a canvas we can all identify with. Personal memories play hide and seek with nostalgia for a shared world, a world that is fast vanishing. A slow paced and calm world, a world of greater human interaction, a world of truer values. The book will take us on an enriching inward journey that traces the innocent paths of childhood, the sensitive lanes of adolescence and even the difficult roads that one travels later. The faded beauty of the Doon valley is a theme that runs through a good part of this book and regret jostles with rapid change. The Dehra Dun of bubbling canals, of litchi and mango orchards, of tongas and leisurely cyclists is a place one can no longer find except in fading photographs or fading memories. And it is these memories that I have tried to capture and put together a bouquet dedicated to parents, teachers, alma mater, homes and other things that live forever in the landscape of my heart. The nostalgia goes beyond the valley and its surroundings. The book talks of old cinemas, charismatic film stars, the warmth of book shops, the charm of Doordarshan, days of audio cassettes, old style melas and cosy restaurants in the hills. The effort is to bring back yesterday, once more. The pleasures and joys of simple living and importance of emotions in life are highlighted in the book. Although these are personal memories of my yesterdays, they will resonate in each sensitive and sentimental reader’s heart as the feelings are universal and the moments captured are timeless .These are part of our collective memories and will, hopefully, evoke emotions that have inspired me to create this work. Nostalgia is indeed a strong emotion that brings us a strange pain mixed with joy. However, it is, on the whole, a satisfying feeling and many of us simply love to go on a trip down memory lane. I sincerely hope Yesterday Once More will be one such delightful trip. Dr. Jaskiran Chopra

In the tradition of The Concubine's Children and Paper Shadows, a probing memoir from the author of the acclaimed novel Midnight at the Dragon Cafe. An elegant and surprising book about a Chinese family's difficult arrival in Canada, and a daughter's search to understand remarkable and terrible truths about her parents' past lives. Growing up in her father's hand laundry in small town Ontario, Judy Fong Bates listened to stories of her parents' past lives in China, a place far removed from their every-day life of poverty and misery. But in spite of the allure of these stories, Fong Bates longed to be a Canadian girl. Fifty years later she finally followed her curiosity back to her ancestral home in China for a reunion that spiralled into a series of unanticipated discoveries. Opening with a shock as moving as the one that powers The Glass Castle, The Year of Finding Memory explores a particular, yet universal, world of family secrets, love, loss, courage and shame. This is a memoir of a daughter's emotional journey, and her painful acceptance of conflicting truths. In telling the story of her parents, Fong Bates is telling the story of how she came to know them, of finding memory.
