This is not a book about the end of the world - it's about the start of a new one. Melting glaciers. Crumbling coasts. Vanishing seas. The feeling that our world is coming to an end has led to a rise in 'ecological grief' and prompted a wave of last-chance tourists and environmental mourners...

A cultural history, a memoir, a love letter and a reckoning The English Midlands is the least eulogised part of these islands; the bit left over when all of the sharper, sexier regions have staked their claim; the blank space at the centre of the map. And yet. This is also a bellwether region...

Self-confessed loafer Time Moore, seduced by the speed and glamour of the biggest annual sporting event in the world, sets out to cycle the course of the Tour de France. All 3,630km of it. Racing old men on butchers' bikes and chased by cows, Moore soon resorts to standard race tactics - cheating and drugs - in a hilarious and moving tale of true adventure.

A book that tells the story of London since the thirties through the 28 streets, stations and utilities of the Monopoly board. In Do Not Pass Go Tim Moore fearlessly tackles the real thing and along the way tells the story of a game and the city that frames it. The stirring travelogue of one man's erratic progress around those 28 streets, stations and utilities, Do Not Pass Go is also an epic and lovingly researched history of London's wayward progress in the 66 years since the launch of the world's most popular board game.

Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn't really want to. Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela.

In You are Awful, But I Love You, Tim Moore drives his Austin Maestro round all the places on our beloved island that nobody wants to go to – our most miserable towns, shonkiest hotels, scariest pubs, and silliest sea zoos. But as the soggy, decrepit quest unfolds he finds himself oddly smitten, and the result is a rousing, nostalgic celebration of mad, bad, brilliant Britain.

Was passiert, wenn ein Engländer, ausgestattet mit einer großen Portion britischen Humors, sein Herz und die Zügel in die Hand nimmt und sich mit einem französischen Esel auf heiliges spanisches Terrain begibt? Genau, der Esel ist störrisch, der Weg nach Santiago de Compostela lang, und Tim Moore findet in seinem Pilgerführer aus dem 12. Jahrhundert auch nicht immer die passenden Tipps. Dafür findet er etwas anderes: den Weg in sein eigenes Herz.

The academic year must have been a difficult one as when the summer holidays arrived, secondary school teacher Andrew Sykes was happy to do as little as possible. Two years later, accompanied by his faithful companion Reggie (his bike) but only a rudimentary plan, Andrew set off for a trans-continental cycling adventure that would take him along the route of the Via Francigena and the Eurovelo 5 all the way from his home in southern England to Brindisi in the south of Italy.

Secondary school teacher Andrew Sykes moves out of the classroom, climbs onto his bicycle and sets off along the route of the EuroVelo 8, from the southern tip of Greece to the Atlantic coast of Portugal. However, this is more than just a cycling tale of border crossings and big hills, as our would-be adventurer perspires his way through a hot and sticky mix of Mediterranean landscapes, life and culture. Join Andrew as he travels along the Med on a bike called Reggie: an inspirational and light-hearted travelogue for cyclists and non-cyclists alike.

Secondary school teacher and inveterate would-be adventurer Andrew P. Sykes is back in the saddle. This time, however, it doesn't belong to his long-term sidekick Reggie. There's a fresh-faced kid on the block and she's a bike called Wanda.
