| "In January 2011 as the crowds gathered to protest Mubarak's three decades of rule in Egypt Wendell Steavenson went to Cairo to cover the story But the revolution defied historical precedent and it defied the templates of storytelling There was no single villain no lone hero no neat conclusion that wouldn't be overturned the next day Tahrir Square changed its moods like the weather; fickle violent hopeful carnival As she walks among the tents and the tanks falling into conversation sharing cigarettes and cold soda Steavenson tells the story of a seismic historical moment as it is experienced by ordinary citizens Here we meet a young man from the slums with his homemade pistol; a seasoned observer who gives up on analysis; a leader who doesn't want to lead thrust uncomfortably into the spotlight; a Muslim Brotherhood politician trying to smooth over a restless parliament; and a military intelligence officer convinced that only the army can save Egypt Steavenson captures the cacophony of dizzying events as protests and elections ebbed and flowed around the revolution tipping it towards democracy and then back into the military's hands Mixing reportage and travelogue Circling the Square shows how the particular and the personal can illuminate more universal questions what does democracy mean? What happens when a revolution throws everything up in the air?"

| "In At Home Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible curiosity irresistible wit stylish prose and masterful storytelling that made A Short History of Nearly Everything one of the most lauded books of the last decade and delivers one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - eating sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable And that most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we liveThis inspired him to start a journey around his own house an old rectory in Norfolk wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything and everything from architecture to electricity from food preservation to epidemics from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower from crinolines to toilets; and on the brilliant creative and often eccentric minds behind them And he discovered that although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives there is a huge amount of history interest and excitement - and even a little danger - lurking in the corners of every home"
