”A SERIOUSLY NECESSARY BOOK”. (ROWAN WILLIAMS, FORMER ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY). ”A MUST READ”. (MIQDAAD VERSI, MUSLIM COUNCIL OF BRITAIN). ”A TIMELY BOOK”. (BARONESS WARSI). ”HUGELY IMPORTANT”. (PETER OBORNE). ”HEARTENING”. (DAVID ANDERSON QC). 0 In this groundbreaking book, James Fergusson travels the length of Britain to explore our often misunderstood Muslim communities, & to experience life on both sides of our increasingly segregated society. The face of Britain is changing. The Muslim population has more than doubled over the last twenty years, & is projected to do so again over the next twenty. A societal shift of this size & speed has inevitably brought growing pains, with the impact on our communities becoming ever more profound
- as well as painful, because in the eyes of many, Islam has a problem: the extremist views of a tiny minority, which, when translated into action, can result in catastrophic violence. The danger of this extremist threat
- or our response to it
- is that we are collectively starting to lose faith in the cultural diversity that has glued our nation together for so long. Our tolerance of others, so often celebrated as a `fundamental British value, ` is at risk. In this groundbreaking book, James Fergusson travels the length of Britain to evaluate the impact these seismic shifts have had on our communities. With the rise of nationalist movements, growing racial tensions & an increasingly out of touch political elite, what does it mean to be a Muslim in Britain[unk] What is life like on both sides of this growing religious divide[unk] & what can we do to heal the fractures appearing in our national fabric[unk] Al-Britannia, My Country is a timely & urgent account of life in Britain today, a call to action filled with real-life experience, hard truths & important suggestions for our future.

In ” Al Dente”, William Black travels the length & breadth of Italy in order to get to the roots of Italian food. Our intrepid gastronome eats whatever gets in his way which often isn`t quite what it seems. If it`s cheese then it may be considered ripe only when it has been predigested by maggots or perhaps made solely from the milk of tired cows. A bowl of pasta might come with donkey sauce. A dish of wind dried tuna apparently

its testicles. A lovely risotto has been made with seagull broth... William`s dedication to his task knows alarmingly few bounds.

Imagine the River Tiber as an alimentary tract. Picture a hungry saint. Think of erotic Renaissance fruit paintings, transubstantiation & a tiramisu cafe where magic is surely on the menu... This highly original interpretation of Rome's history, culture, art & religion takes the form of a book about food that's not really about food at all. During his first two years in Rome, David Winner found himself in turn amazed & overwhelmed by its physical, historical & cultural vastness. Then a chance encounter with an extraordinary pudding provided him with the means to start digesting his surroundings. That evening he was struck by the significance of the Roman attitude to food: a unique & unequivocal relationship between sustenance & existence, where every last aspect of life is (and always has been) 'pickled in alimentation'. In Al Dente, Winner takes us on a stroll through the city as he muses idiosyncratically on all things comestible & much else besides. Here we learn about Rome as metropolis & necropolis, about tasty vineyard snails & the food-&-sex scandal that sent Saint Jerome packing. The cinematic greats such as Argento, Fellini & Ferreri are discussed alongside historical political satire where grocery orgies were art & the penis was the subject of hagiographies. There are the bloodthirsty antics of an eighteenth-century executioner who worked for the pope, stories of immolation, architecture & artichokes, & a telephone interview with a nun who makes Eucharistic wafers. There's also a nice 1891 recipe for stewed lamb's head. Winner is a master of wit & diversity with a seemingly insatiable appetite for peculiar detail & disturbances on the cultural landscape. In Al Dente, his ability to explore the world around him as a series of interconnections provides an intriguing new portrait of a remarkable city
- a veritable trifle of Roman bedrock & apogee, cosmos & counterculture to be devoured with gusto. Buon appetito...
