Roger Federer: The Greatest
Roger Federer is a legend not only in the world of tennis but also in the wider sporting arena.

Quies Rocks
Spring 1940 – a dense sea fog envelopes the north Cornish coast just south of Trevose Head and the treacherous Quies rocks. Lurking nearby is a German submarine, stranded after its engines failed. When two local children row their small boat to investigate this strange shape in the water, a chain of events is unleashed that will change lives forever. Summer 1985 – shortly after leaving a Test match at Lord’s, the quiet and solitary Frank Fox stumbles on what appears to be an attack on a young girl in a park in St John’s Wood. Despite his age and aching bones, Frank overcomes the assailant and rescues the child. But what seems like a random event is not what it seems as Frank is thrown into a dark political underworld of terror. Can these two seemingly separate, distant worlds meet? Quies Rocks is the story of a family destroyed by war and rebuilt, decades later, by extraordinary circumstance.

Raw: Architectural Engagements with Nature
Through cross-disciplinary explorations of and engagements with nature as a forming part of architecture, this volume sheds light on the concepts of both nature and architecture. Nature is examined in a raw intermediary state, where it is noticeable as nature, despite, but at the same time through, man’s effort at creating form. This is done by approaching nature from the perspective of architecture, understood, not only as concrete buildings, but as a fundamental human way both of being in, and relating to, the world. Man finds and forms places where life may take place. Consequently, architecture may be understood as ranging from the simple mark on the ground and primitive enclosure, to ...
