Felicity's book is launched!

Felicity Aston, who led the Kaspersky Lab Commonwealth Antarctic Expedition to the South Pole last year, has published a book about her adventures. Felicity's Fellowship took her to 8 Commonwealth countries to select her multi-national 8-woman team. They went on to ski more than 900km, breaking records as they went. Most of the women were either the first person or the first woman from their country to ski to the South Pole. They were all 'ordinary' women who wanted to inspire others to follow their dreams.


Call of the White: Taking the World to the South Pole is available in bookshops and online.

Fellow publishes Grotton Revisited

Routledge has recently published Steve Ankers', Fellow of 2000, and colleagues', Grotton Revisited. The book is a satire 'lifting the lid' on the world of town planning and essential reading for all those who have ever come into contact with the planning systems. The original book, The Grotton Papers, written by the same three authors, was published around 30 years ago. This sequel looks at the successes, or otherwise, of the planning departments of the council whose target was to become 'average with moderate prospects of remaining average', in the intervening years.
 

Fellow writes her family story & has her Emily Tennyson biography reissued

Dr Ann Thwaite's Fellowship took her, in 1993, to the USA to visit libraries with Tennyson collections and to Italy to follow the Tennyson's journeys there. The result of her research was Emily Tennyson: The Poet's Wife, published by Faber. Last year, to mark the 200th anniversary of Tennyson's birth, Faber Finds reissued Ann's biography of his wife.  In the same year, Anne finally turned her attention to her own family story, having already written about the Hodgsons and Burnetts, the Gosses, the Milnes and, of course, the Tennysons. Her book Passageways - the story of a New Zealand family, was published by Otago University Press but is available in the UK through Gazelle Books on sales@gazellebooks.co.uk or from Amazon.
