Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I never knew I was misplaced until I realised what it felt like to be home. Jonty Tan is a Third Culture Kid who found home in his country of birth, Singapore. There are many things that make him feel at home. The humid tropical air that he feels on his face after landing at Singapore's award-winning Changi Airport, the taste of Char Kway Teow, the sense of community in a hawker centre, but after living in the UK since he was just 2 years old, why do these things continue to resonate for him? In 2014, on holiday in Singapore from the UK, his homing beacon was activated and what began was a six-year journey of understanding why he spent his life feeling misplaced. In this personal, anecdotal and insightful autobiography, Jonty describes the twists and turns of this six-year wait before returning home, the pain of lost opportunities and the pressures of arriving in Singapore during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic. He uncovers the struggles of childhood, being torn between two cultures and feeling lost in the middle, trying to embrace individuality while desperately wanting to belong. On arriving and living in Singapore, he learns what it is to finally feel at home and how to navigate the feelings and challenges that come with being a foreigner in his own country. Jonty Tan is The Local Immigrant.

Book excerpt: The must-read music book of the year—and the first such history bringing together all musical genres to tell the definitive narrative of the birth of Pop—from 1900 to the mid-1950s. Pop music didn't begin with the Beatles in 1963, or with Elvis in 1956, or even with the first seven-inch singles in 1949. There was a pre-history that went back to the first recorded music, right back to the turn of the century. Who were these earliest record stars—and were they in any meaningful way "pop stars"? Who was George Gershwin writing songs for? Why did swing, the hit sound for a decade or more, become almost invisible after World War II? The prequel to Bob Stanley’s celebrated Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!, this new volume is the first book to tell the definitive story of the birth of pop, from the invention of the 78 rpm record at the end of the nineteenth century to the beginnings of rock and the modern pop age. Covering superstars such as Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra, alongside the unheralded songwriters and arrangers behind some of our most enduring songs, Stanley paints an aural portrait of pop music's formative years in stunning clarity, uncovering the silver threads and golden needles that bind the form together. Bringing the eclectic, evolving world of early pop to life—from ragtime, blues and jazz to Broadway, country, crooning, and beyond—Let's Do It is essential reading for all music lovers. "An encyclopaedic introduction to the fascinating and often forgotten creators of Anglo-American hit music in the first half of the twentieth century."—Neil Tennant (The Pet Shop Boys)

Book excerpt: Countless British visit France each year and over 100,000 live there permanently, successors to generations of their countrymen. This book, starting with the brief and poignant Peace of Amiens, 1801-1803, studies who they were - ranging from businessmen and artisans to rentiers, invalids and tourists - where they went and the reasons why. While some went for fun, to Paris 'where the social arts are carried to perfection' or to Monte Carlo, Biarritz or Deauville, the invalids favoured the Pyrenees or Savoy, making Pau the 'ville anglaise'. Bordeaux was an example of another town where the British attained great influence because of the wine trade. Many also settled in France to save money. The Channel Coast becoming popular with those who fled creditors or disgrace at home (Beau Brummell and Oscar Wilde are examples of this group). Food, architecture and the arts more generally attracted many, as did the climate of the Riviera. The revolutions in travel brought about by railways, motoring and aircraft provide a constant theme. Another very important aspect covered is the relationship, both in general and personal terms, between the French and the British. How, for instance, the local British stimulated a passion for sport in France. A variety of sources including British and French books, letters, journals and periodicals, supply background, as do Foreign Office archives particularly in times of crisis such as 1848, 1870 and 1940.
