Feeling hungry yet? Get your tastebuds ready for HUNGRY: Eating, Road-tripping and Risking it All with René Redzepi, the Greatest Chef in the World by Jeff Gordinier @thegordinier - published in the UK next week! .

Offered the chance to accompany René Redzepi @reneredzepinoma (whose brainchild Noma has repeatedly been voted ‘Best Restaurant in the World’ on an adventure in search of the planet’s most tantalising flavours, Jeff Gordinier didn’t need to think twice. Putting the rest of his life on hold, Jeff followed René on an inspiration fuelled intercontinental odyssey to find and refine the most powerful tastes in the world. .

Hungry is a memoir, a travelogue, a vivid portrait of a chef and a chronicle of the moment when daredevil cooking became one of the most exiting and groundbreaking forms of artistry.

It seems like Greenland has been in the news a lot recently, so it’s a good thing that this beautiful book, The Ice At the End of the World: Am Epic Journey into Greenland’s Buried Past and our Perilous Future, is published today! 🇬🇱
.
Locked within that vast ‘white desert’ are some of our planet’s most profound secrets. As the Arctic climate warms, and Greenland’s ice melts at an accelerating rate, the island is evolving into an economic and climatological hub, on which the future of the world turns. .

Journalist and historian Jon Gertner reconstructs in vivid, thrilling detail the heroic efforts of the scientists and explorers who have visited Greenland over the past 150 years – on skis, sleds, and now with planes and satellites, utilising every tool available to uncover the pressing secrets revealed by the ice before, thanks to climate change, it’s too late. .

What is feminism? Why are we still talking about it, and what can it tell us about ourselves, our societies and prejudices? .

This unique, illustrated introduction explores the early history and ‘waves’ of feminism, and all the way up to present-day conversations surrounding MeToo, intersectional feminism and women’s rights in the Middle East. .

Happy publication day to Ben Aitken and the hilarious A Chip Shop in Poznan: My Unlikely Year in Poland! 🇵🇱
.
Ben moved to Poland in 2016 to find out why the Poles were leaving. He flew to a place he’d never heard of and then accepted a job in a chip shop on minimum wage.
.
What followed was a year of peeling potatoes, milking cows with Eurosceptic farmers, spending Christmas with strangers, Brexit, getting kicked out of a nunnery, and falling in love.
.
And did we mention it’s hilarious? #PolandistheNewSweden
