Tom Phillips’ first full-length collection navigates terrains which range from Eastern Europe, Australia and the Home Counties to his own back garden in Bristol. From the different perspectives these vantage points offer, it unearths connections between chance meetings and `big history’, family stories and the state we’re in. It also looks at poetry itself as a ground on which to recreate – and negotiate with – one thing that nobody can change: the past.

Don't Go in the House Traveling through eerie and ancient wooded riverlands, a foraging party is long overdue in the gloaming dusk. The hunters from a backwoods village of degenerate and inbred woodfolk are surely bloodthirsty enough for an ambush, but can your allies be found bound in their hovels, or is a more sinister happening afoot? The shadow of witchcraft stained with the essence of malevolence from beyond time and space draws the heroes to the ragged hilltop manor, where the corrupted scions of a once-noble bloodline strain the veil between this world and the realms of pure madness beyond. What is left of their clan, and of the friends who may have been spirited away to Whisper House? Check out Tom Phillips' terrifying 52-page Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 8th-level characters today and Make Your Game Legendary
Sannhet; en kort historie om løgn, idioti og fake news
Vi lever i post-sannhetens tid, får vi ofte høre. Mange trodde internettet skulle gi en ny opplysningstid, der løgn og konspirasjonsteorier hadde dårlige kår. I stedet har nettet blitt en slagmark av feilinformasjon. Folk stoler ikke på eksperter lenger. Og Donald Trump er et kapittel for seg. Men har det noen gang vært en virkelig gullalder for sanne historier? Nei, ikke egentlig, svarer Tom Phillips. Som redaktør for faktasjekkorganisasjonen Full Fact, håndterer han til daglig enorme mengder tullpreik. Nå forteller han den elleville historien om hvordan vi mennesker alltid har løyet for hverandre - og oss selv - og stiller et viktig spørsmål: Hvordan kan menneskeheten nærme seg en sannere framtid? Dette er en bok om sannhet - og alle de spektakulære måtene vi opp gjennom historien har klart å unngå den.

I løpet av de sytti tusen årene det moderne mennesket har vandret på jorda, har vi oppnådd mye. Men det har på ingen måte vært en problemfri reise, for med jevne mellomrom har vi på spektakulært vis rotet det til for oss selv. Ofte er handlekraft og overdreven selvtillit vår største fiende. Andre ganger oppfører vi oss bare som komplette idioter. Ta for eksempel formann Maos krig mot spurven for å sikre større avlinger. Han hadde ikke tenkt over at spurv først og fremst spiser insekter, ikke såkorn. Enorme svermer av gresshopper var med på å forårsake en hungersnød som kostet rundt 30 millioner mennesker livet. Boka forteller om noen av de største, merkeligste og mest spektakulære feilgrepene vi mennesker har gjort. Med britisk eleganse og galgenhumor viser Tom Phillips hvordan det har vært et gjennomgående menneskelig trekk å tabbe seg ut. Selv vår eldste kjente forgjenger, Lucy, falt ned fra et tre og døde. Men historien viser også at vi har gjort viktige framskritt og lært av våre feil. Med pandemier, atomspøkelset og en selvforskyldt klimakrise i fanget er det nå opp til oss å avgjøre hvor veien går videre. En elegant, underholdende og dypt politisk bok om oss selv.

On totuuden aika.Kirja TOTUUDESTA - ja kaikista nerokkaista tavoista, joilla ihmiset ovat läpi historian onnistuneet välttelemään sitä.Sanotaan, että elämme ”totuudenjälkeistä aikaa”: Yhdysvaltain presidentti puhuu puppua päiväpohjalta, internet on tehnyt elämästä informaatiosodankäyntiä eikä asiantuntijoihin enää luoteta. Mutta onko mitään toden puhumisen kulta-aikaa koskaan ollutkaan? Työssään faktantarkistusorganisaatio Full Factissa Tom Phillips joutuu ruotimaan paskapuheita joka päivä. Tässä kirjassa hän kertoo, miten ihmiset ovat kautta historian valehdelleet niin toisilleen kuin itselleenkin, ja esittää tärkeän kysymyksen: miten ihmiskunta voi siirtyä kohti totuudellisempaa tulevaisuutta?Tom Phillips on lontoolainen kirjailija ja journalisti ja toimii faktantarkistusorganisaatio Full Factin päätoimittajana. Hänen kirjansa Ihmiset - näin munasimme kaiken (2018) on ollut maailmanlaajuinen menestys.

Ihmiset - Näin munasimme kaiken
Inhimillisen typeryyden surkuhupaisa historia.Sytyttävä katsaus ihmiskunnan historian luovimpiin ja katastrofaalisimpiin munauksiin alkaen siitä, kun kaukaisimmat edeltäjämme putosivat puusta, ja jatkuen nykyajan emämokiin.Nykyihminen on 70 000-vuotisessa historiassaan päässyt pitkälle. Taide, tiede, kulttuuri ja kansainvälinen kaupankäynti osoittavat, että olemme evoluutiomielessä ravintoketjun huipulla. Mutta kaikki ei suinkaan aina ole sujunut kuin rasvattu, ja toisinaan olemme auttamattomasti ja uskomattomasti ryssineet asiat. Esimerkkejä riittää: tuhoeläinten hävittämiseen tähdännyt puhemies Maon kampanja, joka osaltaan johti Kiinan suureen nälänhätään, Itävallan armeijan hyökkäys omia vastaan eräänä juopotteluyönä, tosi-tv-mogulin valinta presidentiksi maailman johtavassa suurvallassa... Liioittelematta voi sanoa, että meidän lajillemme vanhuus ei ole tuonut viisautta.Tom Phillips työskentelee päätoimittajana Full Factilla, joka on Ison-Britannian johtava riippumaton faktantarkistusorganisaatio. Hän palveli aiemmin toimituspäällikkönä BuzzFeed UK:lla. Ihmiset - Näin munasimme kaiken on Tomin esikoisteos, joka on käännetty yli 20 kielelle.
