📸 Pictured: a wonderful event at @bookhaus.bsky.social last night, where our authors @dominicmhinde.bsky.social and @dudleymarianna.bsky.social chatted all things climate, energy and sustainability🍃 Huge thanks to all who attended! Drifting North and Electric Wind are out now📚

“By asking ordinary people to engage with and share their 'loneliness rooms' – real or imagined – Redmond challenges the medicalisation and problematisation of #loneliness today.“ Leah Kennedy reviews Sean Redmond @manchesterup.bsky.social in our latest Magazine issue. buff.ly/CWo1OCX

Our final blog post celebrating The Bulletin of @thejohnrylands.bsky.social going #OpenAccess is out! This week, Medievalist Dr Ingrid Rembold highlights issue 99:2, with articles on Lorenzo Opimo and the challenges of printing Machiavelli's work. Read the blog post👇

Thankyou to everyone who came to the climate and energy discussion at Bristol Bookhaus today. My voice had started to go so it’s onto the ginger tea and night nurse.

Also well done to @dudleymarianna.bsky.social on Electric Wind, a phenomenal work of public history with great lessons for our times, and nice to meet @noreenmasud.bsky.social whose book A Flat Place was very much a benchmark for Drifting North to try and reach.

The past week has been a whirlwind. I am beyond grateful to everyone who has been involved in bringing Songs of Seven Dials into the world.

So thank you – to the archivists and historians who have guided, supported, and inspired my work and to the wonderful team at @manchesterup.bsky.social who have made Songs of Seven Dials as an idea and an object of beauty that exists in the world for people to actually read.

This was an excellent 2 author event - bought this one and looking forward to reading

If you're in a part of the world where you can't get to one of the public events we're doing on climate and the future for Drifting North, I'm doing an open online chat for University of Stavanger's Greenhouse next month. newnatures.org/greenhouse/e...

One of the people at our Dundee event asked if I saw Drifting North as a work of research or a piece of social documentary. It can be both, and many other things, none of them exclusive.

As it is publication day I also wanted to share this from a few years back, written for The Drouth magazine, which contains some of the core things that became the Drifting North project, including my first engagements with inland Caithness. www.thedrouth.org/looking-for-...

One of the many joys of reading Songs Of Seven Dials was reading it with the NLS scrollable maps archive / Layers Of London / Google Street View open on the laptop, really made the book interactive and alive in a way I've not really experienced with anything else before.

Not my place, not my period, but I'm looking forward to some "intimate history" in the present tense, in my colleague @tricksterprince.bsky.social's new book.

To celebrate Jane Austen's 250th, @ink84books.bsky.social are debating and rating Austen’s male characters with @thezhm.bsky.social, author of 'Courting Disaster'. Who will be the last Austen hero standing? Tickets on sale now: www.ink84bookshop.co.uk/product-page... #booksky #London
