Silk Hay is Hilary Townsend’s account of the painstaking restoration of Silk Hay, her medieval/Tudor house in Dorset. It recounts, in fascinating detail, the historical and architectural background of the house and is laced through with the human story behind the renovation; including the persistent setbacks, difficulties and frustrating delays that beset her during the thirty years the restoration took. As a passionate conservationist, Hilary Townsend was delighted to discover the original Tudor curing cupboard and fireplace in the parlour of Silk Hay, and eventually, to her delight, also discovered a crude sketch of a Crusader Knight carved on a re-used stone.The need to preserve Britain’s architectural heritage is also discussed by Hilary in Silk Hay as she acknowledges the tremendous help she received from the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the invaluable grant from the Thomas Hardy Memorial Fund during the renovation of the house.This book is an eye-witness account of 30 years of intensive restoration work on this medieval/Tudor house by one unqualified woman. It will appeal to any readers interested in architecture, building, restoration and to the general non-fiction reader. Silk Hay is also a significant record of the struggles of a lone female having to negotiate and employ successive groups of somewhat uncompromising male builders, often in fraught and daunting circumstances. It also reveals how Silk Hay was a crucial inspiration to Douglas Adams for the bulldozer scene that opens The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Heartlight is the story of Bradley's greatest champion of good, Colin MacLaren, as he carries the banner of Light through the second half of the twentieth century. Ghostbuster, exorcist, student and teacher of the mystic arts, Colin meets Claire Moffat, who becomes his dearest friend, when he rescues her from a cult bent on human sacrifice. The leader of that cult, Toller Hasloch, becomes one of Colin's greatest enemies. Working behind the scenes for the next thirty years, Hasloch subtly manipulates politics and the economy to turn America away from the Light. Colin, busy saving lives and teaching the next generation of psychic warriors, realises almost too late how Hasloch has warped America's promise. Now, Colin MacLaren is the only one who can face Hasloch and the hellhounds the younger man has unleashed. He must fight on, while the fate of America, an perhaps all mankind, hangs in the balance.

A Next Big Idea Book Club Must-Read for April "Aarathi Prasad spins a masterpiece of a story, as luminous, supple, and surprising as the wondrous threads themselves." —Sy Montgomery, bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus and Of Time and Turtles Throughout history, across cultures and countries, silk has reigned as the undeniable queen of fabrics, yet its origins and evolution remain a mystery. In a gorgeous and sweeping narrative, Silk weaves together its intricate story and the indelible mark it has left on humanity. Some four thousand years ago, the cultivation of silkworms began, the practice spreading to the far reaches of civilization. With it came a growing obsession with unlocking silk’s secrets to understand how the strongest biological material ever known could be harnessed. Explorers and scientists, including groundbreaking women who pushed the boundaries of societal expectations, dedicated—even sacrificed—their lives to investigate the anatomy of silk-producing animals. They endured unbelievable hardships to discover and collect new specimens, leading them to the moths of China, Indonesia, and India; the spiders of Argentina, Paraguay, and Madagascar; and the mollusks of the Mediterranean. Rich with the complex connections between human and nonhuman worlds, Silk not only peers into the past but also reveals the fiber’s impact today, inspiring new technologies across the fashion, military, and medical fields, and shows its untapped potential to pioneer a more sustainable future. The culmination of author and biologist Aarathi Prasad’s own lifelong passion and grounded in years of research and writing, Silk is an intoxicating read that provides an essential illumination of nature’s most glamourous thread.
