50 Things About Us
50 THINGS ABOUT US is a fast and furiously funny journey through our national memory. It's about money, history, songs, gongs, wigs, unicorns, guns, bungs, sods of soil and rich fuckers. 'Patriotism is often the point where history and advertising intersect, and it was that brand of nationalism that Rees-Mogg and Johnson attempted to sell. It is a brand that can only hark backwards; a nostalgic nationalism built on half histories and wishes ... The kind of patriotism where the poetry of John Betjeman sits alongside blaming migrants for TB. 'But that is not our story. In fact, it is far from the narrative so many of us are a part of.' From self-deceptions on size, stature and space (clue: there's more than enough for everyone if we lose the golf courses) to the living links between empire, slavery, money and power, this is Mark Thomas' quest to remind us of the true and shared greatness of modern Britain. Structured as a list of fifty crucial 'Things', and fresh from a lock-down spent interviewing hundreds of NHS workers for the Wellcome Collection permanent archive, this is Mark Thomas at his provocative, passionate best.
Makers, Breakers and Fixers
Like the dunny, football and a meat pie with sauce, the shed has an important place in Australian culture and mythology. It stands as a symbol of Aussie ingenuity, a testimony to a blokes ability to fix anything with a length of fencing wire, a hammer and a piece of 4 x 2. Venturing behind the iron curtain of this sacred domain, Makers, Breakers & Fixers forages for answers to the most significant questions about shed ownership.
Wondrous Flitting
In Loreto there is a Holy House, a divine and wondrously flitting house. A vessel for the holy. But now it’s in Sam’s house. And Sam can’t figure it out. But Sam knows he must. It’s not every day a miracle happens and your house becomes the vessel that contains the vessel that contained Mary and Mary is the vessel that contained our Lord. This symbol of faith and transformation comes crashing into a contemporary city as Sam races through 24 hours dealing with trapped parents, girlfriends and dentists to find meaning in this darkly comic odyssey.

Enough Said
There’s a crisis of trust in politics across the western world. Public anger is rising and faith in conventional political leaders and parties is falling. Anti-politics, and the anti-politicians, have arrived. In Enough Said, President and CEO of The New York Times Company Mark Thompson argues that one of the most significant causes of the crisis is the way our public language has changed. Enough Said tells the story of how we got from the language of FDR and Churchill to that of Donald Trump. It forensically examines the public language we’ve been left with: compressed, immediate, sometimes brilliantly impactful, but robbed of most of its explanatory power. It studies the rhetoric of we...
