A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A teacher, a scholar, a philosopher, and an eyewitness to history, Sari Nusseibeh is one of our most urgent and articulate authorities on the conflict in the Middle East. From his time teaching side by side with Israelis at the Hebrew University through his appointment by Yasir Arafat to administer the Arab Jerusalem, he has held fast to the principles of freedom and equality for all, and his story dramatizes the consequences of war, partition, and terrorism as few other books have done. This autobiography brings rare depth and compassion to the story of his country.

“In a display of rationality uncommon to discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Nusseibeh takes an impartial vantage point, trying to sort out a mess largely generated by overblown and hyperactive political identities.”—Boston Review “[This] philosophical and balanced book is unfailingly sensitive and empathetic to both sides.”—Publishers Weekly Can a devout Jew be a devout Jew and drop the belief in the rebuilding of the Temple? Can a devout Muslim be a devout Muslim and drop the belief in the sacredness of the Rock? Can one right (the right of return) be given up for another (the right to live in peace)? Can one claim Palestinian identity and still retain Israeli citizenship? What is a Palestinian state worth? For over sixty years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been subjected to many solutions and offered many answers by diverse parties. Yet, answers are only as good as the questions that beget them. It is with this simple, but powerful idea, the idea of asking the basic questions anew, that the renowned Palestinian philosopher and activist Sari Nusseibeh begins his book. What Is a Palestinian State Worth? poses questions about the history, meaning, future, and resolution of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Deeply informed by political philosophy and based on decades of personal involvement with politics and social activism, Nusseibeh’s moderate voice—global in its outlook, yet truly grounded in his native city of Jerusalem—points us toward a future which, as George Lamming once put it, is colonized by our acts in this moment, but which must always remain open.

You can take the man out of the city, but is the countryside ready for him? Comedian and born and bred townie, Tony Hawks is not afraid of a challenge - or indeed a good bet. He's hitchhiked round Ireland with a fridge and taken on the Moldovan football team at tennis, one by one. Now the time has come for his greatest gamble yet - turning his back on comfortable city life to move to the wilds of the West Country. With his partner Fran in tow and their first child on the way, he embraces the rituals of village life with often absurd and hilarious results, introducing us to an ensemble of eclectic characters along the way. One minute he's taking part in a calamitous tractor run, the next he's chairing a village meeting, but of course he still finds time for one last solo adventure before fatherhood arrives - cycling coast to coast with a mini pig called Titch. In the epic battle of man vs countryside, who will win out?

Once Upon A Country is a light satire about the leaders, politicians, and generals of a country called Khabistan. Part narrative, part epistolary, this is a very experimental undertaking in form and content. Besides being an insightful indictment of the corrupt leaders of an imaginary country, the novel also explores the importance of hope and dreams, for without these two attributes no nation can sustain itself. Be extra vigilant with the narrator--he is overly inclined to prevaricate. Enjoy the reading.

*Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award* *Shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award* *Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize* *Shortlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize 2018* *A Sunday Times Book of the Year* Xiaolu Guo meets her parents for the first time when she is almost seven. They are strangers to her. When she is born in 1973, her parents hand her over to a childless peasant couple in the mountains. Aged two, and suffering from malnutrition on a diet of yam leaves, they leave Xiaolu with her illiterate grandparents in a fishing village on the East China Sea. Once Upon a Time in the East takes Xiaolu from a run-down shack to film school in a rapidly changing Beijing, navigating the everyday peculiarity of modern China: censorship, underground art, Western boyfriends. In 2002 she leaves Beijing on a scholarship to study in Britain. Now, after a decade in Europe, her tale of East to West resonates with the insight that can only come from someone who is both an outsider and at home. 'This generation's Wild Swans' Daily Telegraph

Book 1 in the highly acclaimed Once upon a time In the Black Country series. Set in the post Second World War Black Country area of the West Midlands, Harry Scriven is a man torn between family loyalties, his moral compass and an ever present sense of justice. Can violence ever be justified? In a world of 1950s nostalgia, classic cars, long forgotten pubs and vintage music, Once upon a time in the Black Country is Goodfellas meets The Peaky Blinders! An at times gruesome tale of one man''s quest to battle his demons and lead a better life What readers are saying about Once upon a time in the Black Country. "Enjoyed it a lot, great plot and characters, really enjoyed how fictional characters intertwine with real locations and occasionally real-life gangsters... What I enjoyed a lot was the attention to the 50s details, the clothes, cars, music, pub culture etc..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "I really enjoyed this book, I couldn''t turn the pages quickly enough. I usually read in the evening and all day long I was looking forward to picking it back up again. If you like a somewhat brutal, totally exciting, exhilarating read, then this is definitely a book for you. I really couldn''t recommend it highly enough." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "The mood is set vibrantly in the Black Country where deep descriptions draw a wonderfully colourful picture of the place during that period. However, it is the very credible main characters that bring this story to life." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "I loved this book and looked forward to reading it each night! Characterisation was great and every person in the book were each brought vividly to life. The geography of the book was superb, I especially liked being taken to a load of different well-constructed 1950s Black Country Pubs and having a pint of mild and a packet of pork scratchings. I highly recommend giving this book a read, you won''t regret it!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "Great fast paced gangster book with some twists along the way, just the right amount of crime and violence, nice to read about some familiar places within the black country and have little pieces of history setting the scene. The main characters you really feel you get to know, there''s a nice balance between them being brutal but with a softer side too, would recommend to anyone that enjoys gangster crime books." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "This book should be made into a film! Brilliant, well written and gripping." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "This book is a fantastic well written gripping story and it relates to a time I remember well. Truly a local masterpiece." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "Fab...great ... loved it so much...great insight into life in the black country way back in the 50s... I really enjoyed it." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review.

"What a great book to read it''s the new peaky blinders." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "Wow, what a nonstop no holds barred dark gem of a book. From the first few pages you are drawn into the murky world of the black country''s dark past. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. If you''re thinking of getting this book, do yourself a favour and stop thinking and get it. Five stars from me." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "Great read a real page turner, so much description and you feel you really know the characters." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "It was gruesome and made me flinch a few times, which to me is down to the writer''s talent in descriptive writing. The violence may put some people off, but it is crucial to the story and as I said earlier, is an accolade to the writer''s descriptive skills."- Facebook comment. "Totally absorbing."- Facebook comment. "These books play like a movie in your head."- Facebook comment

FINALIST -- The National Jewish Book Award In this deeply personal journey of discovery, Ami Ayalon seeks input and perspective from Palestinians and Israelis whose experiences differ from his own. As head of the Shin Bet security agency, he gained empathy for "the enemy" and learned that when Israel carries out anti-terrorist operations in a political context of hopelessness, the Palestinian public will support violence, because they have nothing to lose. Researching and writing Friendly Fire, he came to understand that his patriotic life had blinded him to the self-defeating nature of policies that have undermined Israel's civil society while heaping humiliation upon its Palestinian neighbors. "If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia," Ayalon writes, "it won't be thanks to a handful of theologians dragging us into the dark past. The secular majority will lead us there motivated by fear and propelled by silence." Ayalon is a realist, not an idealist, and many who consider themselves Zionists will regard as radical his conclusions about what Israel must do to achieve relative peace and security and to sustain itself as a Jewish homeland and a liberal democracy.
