SUMMARY:'The Restless Coast' talk with author Roger Morgan-Grenville £5
DESCRIPTION:The island of Britain has over 10\,000 miles of coastline\, steeped in history and constantly shifting\, changing\, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it\, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities\, and to talk to the people trying to protect it. At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence\, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us\, and defines our status as islanders. \nOverarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline\, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account\, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces\, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative\, angry and funny\, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.

SUMMARY:'Victory in Australia: the Remarkable Story of England's Greatest Ashes Triumph 1954-55'\, Author talk by Richard Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:The Ashes series of 1954–55 marked a watershed moment in the history of English cricket. Under the leadership of Len Hutton\, the national team’s first professional captain\, one of the greatest\ngroup of players ever to represent England won an Ashes series in Australia for the first time in more than 20 years. It is a feat that has been repeated only four times in more than 70 years since. But Hutton’s men had to overcome the additional obstacle of losing heavily in the first Test – only one England team has managed to win an overseas Ashes series after such a monumental setback. \nThe names of the cricketers who locked horns in 1954–55 resonate down the decades – Hutton’s team included Denis Compton\, Frank Tyson\, Brian Statham\, Trevor Bailey\, Godfrey Evans\, Peter May and Colin Cowdrey. Among their Australian opponents were Ray Lindwall\, Keith Miller\, Neil Harvey and Richie Benaud. In the 1950s\, these players were not just elite sportsmen\, they were household names. \nAn Ashes series for the ages is brought thrillingly to life in this momentous slice of sporting and social history. \nRichard Whitehead worked in newspapers for nearly 40 years\, spending 21 of them in a variety of senior roles at The Times\, including spells in the sport\, books and obituaries sections. He has been writing obituaries for Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack since 2012. His previous books include The Cup: a Pictorial Celebration of the World’s Greatest Football Tournament\, The Times on the Ashes and Warne in Wisden. \nMonday 14th July 6.30pm\nTickets £5 (refundable on the purchase of the book) \n‘Elegant and evocative … the definitive word on England’s most astonishing Ashes tour ever’ – Matthew Engel \n‘A wonderfully full-bodied account\, alert to every human and social as well as cricketing nuance’ – David Kynaston \n‘A masterpiece of research and narrative skill’ – Leo McKinstry \n‘An outstanding addition to cricket’s literature … Richard Whitehead marvellously recreates one of the great tours of the 20th century’ – Duncan Hamilton
