Set in divided 1970s Britain, the narrative explores the rise of punk as a rock genre and cultural movement amid growing resentment towards the establishment. The working-class youth faced a bleak reality marked by unemployment and despair, with a music scene that felt distant and uninspiring. The far-right's influence exacerbated racial tensions, creating an atmosphere of conflict. However, amidst this turmoil, punk emerged as a vibrant voice for the disillusioned youth, igniting energy and excitement with figures like Billy Idol, Siouxsie Sioux, and The Clash leading the charge. In parallel, cricket remained a beloved pastime, with the West Indies team touring England and showcasing a rising star, Viv Richards, who needed a mentor. WG Grace stepped in to guide him, while the summer of 1976 saw Richards making headlines with his remarkable performances and Michael Holding's fast bowling captivating fans. This season culminated in the Notting Hill riots, where the worlds of punk, cricket, and cultural resilience intertwined. The story provides a nuanced perspective on a tumultuous era, reflecting on the hopes and struggles of icons who sought to share their wisdom and mend a fractured society.

In 'Ultimate Aquarium Fish', the fish are very clearly the stars of the show, with photographs that present them as living creatures rather than as museum exhibits. They swim across the page and many of them stop to look at us with the same curiosity that we bestow on them. We can also witness their body language as they adopt a variety of poses some clearly in response to the camera pointed in their direction! These images provide an insight into a way of life quite different from our own and will appeal to a wide range of people, many of whom are not fishkeepers but who will simply enjoy the experience of seeing these fascinating animals at close hand.
