Dear Reader

Welcome to our autumn list; were delighted to introduce you to the latest fruits of our

creative thinking. This catalogue highlights the breadth of our outlook and the consistency

of our approach. We believe absolutely in the value of beautiful books in their physical form

not an outdated technology, as some would have us believe, but rather an essential part

of our present and future.

We are proud to announce that we now have over 2.5 million copies in print of our 30-Second

series, in 22 languages worldwide. From this autumn we will publish four new titles a season

in this series; to kick off this increase in output, we have books on Opera, Wine, Ancient China

and Shakespeare, the latter with an introduction by Mark Rylance.

How to Make Tea is the natural companion to How to Make Coffee (which is receiving rave

reviews) and is a comprehensive guide to the art and science of the worlds favourite drink.

Our biggest books of the season, at least in size, are The Book of Frogs, a global survey of this

most interesting and attractive family, and a ground-breaking comprehensive survey of

Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises. The ever-popular Mindfulness series also has new additions,

in the form of books on Drawing, Parenting and Compassion.

Ivy Kids continues to grow with our biggest ever list arriving this autumn. Highlights include

the fun and educational Wheres Will?, a gentle introduction to the work of the great bard for

children (and adults) through ten of his plays can you spot where Will is hiding? Paper Pets

is an appealing interactive book with ten press-out pets to make and Christmas Paper Play is

a festive follow-up to the bestselling Paper Play from illustrator Lydia Crook.

We look forward to you enjoying our books. As ever we welcome any comments or feedback

that you might have.

3-MINUTE EXCAVATIONLate Shang elite tombs have also been widely found outside of Anyang. These tombs usually exhibit certain indigenous funeral practices, while including Yinxu-style mortuary goods. The occupants of these tombs might have been regional allies or agents of the Shang state taking charge of resources or tribute transportation. In other words, the late Shang appeared to rely on religion or ideology to maintain their large political and trade network.

3-SECOND SURVEY Elite tombs of the late Shang offer valuable evidence regarding mortuary systems, elite craft industries, and, in particular, social organization.

The tombs of late Shang elites discovered at Yinxu (Anyang) can be classified into three categories: Shang royal burials, high-status tombs like the tomb of Fu Hao, and medium or low-rank elite tombs in cemeteries distributed throughout the capital. During the 1930s, the excavations at the Xibeigang cemetery uncovered a total of 14 tombs with ramps, alongside over 800 sacrificial pits. As the number of ramps associated with a tomb is viewed as an indicator of status, the eight 4-ramp burials in the cemeterywhich are unparalleled in terms of their size, the number of human or animal sacrifices interred inside the chambers, and the number of sacrificial pits associated with themare usually attributed to the Shang kings. Unfortunately, most of these royal tombs have been extensively looted over the course of history. The tomb of Fu Hao, a consort of King Wu Ding, was the first undisturbed high-rank burial to be discovered at Anyang. Her tomb included more than 1.75 tons (1600 kg) of bronzes, over 700 pieces of jade, and other prestige goods made of exotic materials, such as ivory cups and marble and turquoise objects. Lower-rank elite tombs were also found in various parts of Yinxu. Spatially, the cemeteries are often subdivided into different clusters that show consistency in

A global study

The 89 species of the order of Cetacea are some of the most elusive creatures on the planet. Highly migratory, the huge distances they cover and the depths they dive to mean we catch only fleeting glimpses of their lives. Technological advances have, however, increased our understanding and for the first time, Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises gathers together all the most interesting new research, combining highlights from studies of the behaviour of the worlds whales, dolphins and porpoises with a field guide for observing them in the wild.

Annalisa Berta is Professor of Biology at San Diego State University. Past president of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology and co-Senior Editor of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, Berta has written several books including Return to the Sea: The Life and Evolutionary Times of Marine Mammals and Marine Mammals: Evolutionary Biology.

The building blocks of life

The microscopic cell is Earths greatest success story, and the common ancestor we share with all other organisms. Formed over three and a half billion years ago, life exploded from this minuscule powerhouse, first in the sea and then, over millions of years, across the land to create the complex living forms populating the planet today.

How has such a minute organism been so powerful? What has enabled it both to create and to break down life on Earth over billions of years? And how have cells interacted to create such an extraordinary diversity of life? Here, Jack Challoner shines a spotlight on the story of the cell to explore how a myriad of interactions and symbiotic relationships have been the extraordinary catalyst for life.

Jack Challoner graduated in physics at Imperial College, London University, and worked in the education unit at Londons Science Museum before launching a career as an author specializing in science and technology. He has written more than 40 books, including The Story of Science (2012) and Real Lives: John Snow (2013). He has also developed television programmes for the BBC and acted as a scientific consultant on numerous books and articles.

The science behind the leaf

How do you like your tea? An ethereal infusion, the ghost of a scent wafting across your taste buds? Or a mug of traditional brew, so strong that a spoon can stand up in it? Weve been drinking tea for thousands of years, yet few of us realize that all tea from elegant lapsang to pungent pu-erh come from the same source. The taste is down to science: geography, chemistry and physics, the application of heat and pressure, and the magic of time and enzymes. How to Make Tea offers a thorough grounding and lays out the principles for the tea-loving nonscientist: learn how to extract the best from every cup.

Brian R. Keating has been a pioneer in tea research for over 30 years. He is founder of Sage Group, a Seattle-based natural products consultancy. Keating helped the Whole Foods Market to establish its own tea division, and has written for many periodicals.

Kim Long is a writer, researcher and photographer based in Denver. Among his many titles is the annual American Forecaster Almanac which covers consumer and business trends in the United States.

Sky wanderers: the planets

MERCURY, another rocky world, orbits even closer to the Sun

and is rarely seen because it is too close to the solar glare. It is worth looking for in the twilight just after sunset, or in a dawn sky.

MARS is perhaps the most dramatic of the planets. It orbits beyond the Earth and becomes very bright to us when at its closest. Its red colour is due to

The word planet is based on a Greek word for wanderer, because of the planets passage through the twelve constellations of the zodiac.

its rusty deserts. Its worth watching Mars from night to night because it travels so fast, moving through all twelve zodiac constellations in a couple of years.

JUPITER, a bright, gas planet, orbits the Sun at a leisurely pace, taking twelve Earth-years to complete one Jupiter-year. With binoculars you can watch four of its moons as they orbit the planet. It was these that Galileo first saw in the 17th century, proving that the Earth was not at the centre of all things.

Like the Earth, all the planets are satellites of the Sun. As they orbit the Sun they move through the zodiac at varying speeds. This can cause a problem for new observers as they confuse the shapes of the constellations. Astronomy notes in a newspaper, or from the internet, will alert you to the planets current positions.

VENUS, the brightest and closest to us of the planets, follows an orbit nearer to the Sun than we do. It is a rocky world

about the same size as Earth and shrouded in a thick cloud-filled atmosphere of carbon dioxide. When it follows the Sun down to the horizon it is known as the EVENING STAR; when it rises before the Sun it becomes the MORNING STAR.

SATURN is also bright, but you will need a small telescope to view its famous and very beautiful ring system.

URANUS and NEPTUNE can only be seen with a telescope because they are so remote.

2 Now try doing the same three exercises but this time using vertical penstrokes. Even though you are not using letterforms, try to feel that you are writing with the pen, using well-controlled, smooth strokes.

4 Writing this form without a pen lift is rather limiting. By keeping the elements separate, we can position them where they work best. To do this, we will use the basic strokes learned from steps 1 and 2. Write three penstrokestwo horizontal and one vertical, as in the illustration. This could be an italic capital I.

5 Write a second group of three lines parallel to the first, positioning each line where they fit best. Add a third set of lines in the same way. The vertical lines can start and end with or without overlapping the horizontals. These are all the basic skills you need to create the finishing piece.

The square-edged pen is a very effective instrument for creating decorative designs that coordinate well with calligraphy, because the thicks and thins of the penstrokes match those in the lettering. A calligraphic layout can be spoiled by overelaborate illustrative decoration. However, the use of a small, carefully designed abstract form at the end of the text can complete an arrangement very nicely. This project will give you some experience in creating such a design using the square-edged pen. It will also help you develop your pen skills, as it involves the tricky technique of writing several lines parallel to each other.

1 Start by writing a simple left to right curving line rather like a flattened letter l. Use any of your writing instruments for thisyou might find the bamboo pen best. When you are confident you can write a good, balanced form, write two similar lines parallel to each other. If you write the second line above the first, it will have to start to the right of it. If you write it below, it will start to the left. Finally, try writing three lines parallel to each other.

The trees are added last of all. They consist of a

variegated wash of muted greens. The green is made

with French ultramarine and aureolin. This wash

needs to be applied from left to right (or right to left),

with the proportions of the mix varied throughout

the wash to create a variegated wash with a range of

muted greens. With trees and foliage it is important

that the wash does not look too heavy and dense.

This can be achieved by making sure that the top

edges of the trees have a very broken appearance, as

shown below.

Once this is dry, the foreground trees on the left can

be added, and an impression is provided of some of

the trees at the front of the main area of trees. These

last details are important as they help provide scale

to the painting by giving a clear impression of the

massive size of the mountains behind. If you want

to display your watercolor, the ragged edges of the

watercolor can be covered by a cardboard mount.
