A grizzled old fisherman raises a boy of mysterious origins on the shores of the spectacular, resource-rich but unforgiving Prince William Sound. Sven dubs the boy Orca, after the whales who bring the baby boy to shore, and gives him as good an upbringing as he can, teaching him the ways of the sea. Orca grows up learning to set nets and read from a first aid manual; he spends his hours listening to the tall tales of garrulous sailors and the sound of rain on water, until the crucial summer when Miss Priscilla M. Braithewaite of the Alaska Department of Social Services, Division of Child Welfare, comes to pay a call and perhaps change his life forever. Jones'' novel is illustrated with numerous wash drawings by noted Alaska artist Susan Ogle.

The South Korean artist Lee Bul finished her studies in sculpture in Seoul in 1987, a time when, following a period of dictatorship and military rule, democratic reforms began opening up the economically emergent country, and visions of the future were painted both in the most glowing and the most sombre colours. As a performance artist, Lee Bul flew in the face of the artistic conventions of her native land, at first conceiving strongly physical or even guerilla-like actions - for example, appearing unexpectedly in public wearing monstrous soft-fabric forms sprouting tentacular appendages - as she searched for a way to express not just her own states of mind, but those of society as well.

A self-help book for those who want to help themselves. Spoiler alert: it probably won''t help you at all.

Meticulously researched, this book delves into the lives of 52 of Worcestershire''s first-class cricketers and shines a light on their careers on and off the cricket pitch. It bridges many gaps in existing cricket records and provides a definitive guide which complements and, in some cases, supersedes what is already known about these players. It is brought to life with rare and - until now - unseen pictures of some of the players and is enhanced with testimonies from 16 of the 17 surviving players plus recollections from family members of those no longer alive.
