GOSSIP FROM THE FOREST
MAITLAND, SARA
Fairytales are one of our earliest and most vital cultural forms, and forests one of our most ancient and primal
landscapes. Both evoke a similar sensation in us - we find them beautiful and magical, but also spooky,
sometimes horrifying.In this fascinating book, Maitland argues that the two forms are intimately connected: the
mysterious secrets and silences, gifts and perils of the forests were both the background and the source of
fairytales. Yet both forests and fairy stories are at risk and their loss deprives us of our cultural lifeblood. Maitland
visits forests through the seasons, from the exquisite green of a beechwood in spring, to the muffled stillness of
a snowy pine wood in winter. She camps with her son Adam, whose beautiful photographs are included in the
book; she takes a barefoot walk through Epping Forest with Robert Macfarlane; she walks with a mushroom
expert through an oak wood, and with a miner through the Forest of Dean.

GOVERNING THE WORLD
MAZOWER, MARK
The Napoleonic Wars showed Europe what sort of damage warring states could do. But how could sovereign
nations be made to share power and learn to look beyond their own narrow interests? The old monarchs had
one idea. Mazzini and the partisans of nationalist democracy had another, and so did Marx and the radical Left.
It is an argument that has raged for two hundred years now, and Mark Mazower tells its history enthrallingly in
Governing the World. With each era, the stakes have grown higher as the world has grown smaller and the
potential rewards to cooperation and damage from conflict have increased. We are at the end of an era,
Mazower explains, and we are passing into a new age of global power relations, a shift whose outcome is still
very much in question.
