Packed with fascinating facts and fun things to do, the Osborne Guide for Children helps families explore the amazing seaside home of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert – and their nine children!

Alston Moor

Alston Moor

by Anne Charnock  / Goldsmiths Press
Paperback, 252pp.
GoldSF series

Alston Moor is work of literary eco-fiction, interweaving contemporary and historical narratives to explore humanity’s relationship with landscape and the overwhelming anxieties faced in each era.

In an epic novel set on the Pennine Moors, Elizabeth abandons avalanche science to restore desolate peatlands, trekking in the footsteps of Isabel who, five centuries earlier, herds her cattle to remote summering grounds. They grapple with the overwhelming crises of their eras – by turn, the tumult of the Protestant Reformation and the ecological catastrophe of climate change.

The Politics of Feeling

The Politics of Feeling

Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 248pp.

Goldsmith Press’s PERC series seeks to refresh political economy, in the original sense of the term, as a pluralist and critical approach to the study of capitalism. In doing so it challenges the sense of economics as a discipline, separate from the other social sciences, aiming instead to combine economic knowledge with various other disciplinary approaches.

The cover design uses simple shapes motifs to express the changing opinions of a population in response to the emotional pull of party leaders.
