Thomi Keller's place in rowing's pantheon is beyond dispute. A talented oarsman whose hopes of winning an Olympic medal were dashed when Switzerland didn't attend the 1956 Games, he went on to preside over FISA, the sport's international federation, for more than thirty years. During a turbulent and fast-changing era marked by Cold War politics and sport's incipient commercialisation, he substantially modernised both rowing and its governing body, resolutely putting the athlete first. Yet Keller's influence extended far beyond his own sport. By convincing other sports leaders of the benefits of working together, he forged the international federations into a force that the International Olympic Committee - custodians of the world's most diverse and spectacular sporting event - had no choice but to respect. At the height of his powers, in the late 1970s, he arguably wielded more influence among fellow sports leaders than the IOC president himself. Though ultimately outmaneuvered by the IOC's Juan Antonio Samaranch, who identified and harnessed the Olympics' commercial power, Keller remained a revered figure until his death in 1989, aged only sixty-four. Thirty years on he is still, as one obituarist put it, "the outstanding figure in the history of international rowing". While the sporting world Keller inhabited has since been transformed by the cash that has gushed in from broadcasters and sponsors, his essential message - that fair competition and athlete wellbeing must come first - remains today as relevant as ever. Drawing on exclusive access to contemporary documents and the reminiscences of those who knew Keller, the award-winning sportswriter David Owen has written the first full-length biography of one of the most important and charismatic sports leaders of the twentieth century.

Cedric Morris (1889-1982) was an accomplished painter of flowers and landscapes, and a plantsman whose irises are an enduring legacy. 
This is a timely study of a man whose stock has risen appreciably in recent years, with two London exhibitions, a stand at the Chelsea Flower Show and a surge in prices for his paintings. 
With his lifelong partner, Arthur Lett-Haines, Cedric Morris set up the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Suffolk, where students included the young Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. 
Drawing on archive material and extensively illustrated with the work of Morris as well as artists who became part of his circle, this book explores Morris's family roots in South Wales, follows his travels in Europe and beyond in the 1920s, and evokes the singular camaraderie of the East Anglian School.

Jean Cocteau. F. Scott Fitzgerald. Aldous Huxley. Katherine Mansfield. Somerset Maugham. Edith Wharton.\nThe French Riviera has long been a setting for wealth and romance but between the wars, it was also the home for writers from all over the world. For many it was a cheap place to live well; for others, the climate was good for their health; while some were fleeing romance, addiction, and even prosecution. They all found a haven of sunlight and beauty and they all found the space to live in their imaginations and write their masterpieces - but what terrible secrets did they bring with them?\nSunlight and Shadows explores the lives and works of these six best-selling twentieth-century writers who lived, loved and wrote in the South of France.
