When it opened, however, he knew that it was much, much worse. His world was being invaded by pitiless sorcerers from Lupan, who could sweep whole armies aside, and even defeat the invulnerable glass dragons. Surrender or flight were the only options ... but not for Inspector Danolarian, his Wayfarer Constables, and his sweetheart, the sorceress Lavenci. Although Danolarian is no sorcerer, he's no ordinary Wayfarer either. Faced with civilization crumbling around him, and organized resistance shattered by the invincible magic of the Lupanians, he chances upon an unlikely ally and begins to fight back. It won't be easy, for he has to rally the demoralized sorcerers of Alberin, organize its terrified citizens, stay one step ahead of his own past, and, most importantly, survive a dinner party with Lavenci's mother. *** Quantity Available: 1.

He said that the Communist and left-wing groups organized the huge June 12, 1982 rally in New York City. He implied that we were being manipulated.' Do you know what a strategic weapon is? Less than one percent of all Americans do. Yet at this moment, the world's ominous arms build-up continues to spiral out of control, with enough force to devastate all life on earth in the course of a few hours - quite possibly by computer error. In one recent fifteen-month period, the Pentagon's 'fail-safe' nuclear alert system failed 151 times. Now, Dr. Hele Caldicott, 'the mother of the nuclear freeze movement,' exploses the madness that threatens us all- and what we must do to stop it. With a physician's care, she reveals: How recently developed weapons have drastically increaed the nuclear threat. How the nature of today's Pentagon virtually guarantees arms overpopulatoin. How a dangerous 'macho' attitude has perverted the issue of national security. Why we must 'take the toys away from the boys' - or face certain extinction." >>> Includesa "shocking" 2 page INTERVIEW with President RONALD REAGAN. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall..

Shirer witnessed at first hand many of the pivotal events in the buildup to World War II. At the Nuremberg rallies, when Hitler roared through the streets celebrating his newly-won domination of Germany, Shirer was there. In Munich, as Chamberlain abandoned the Czechs, Shirer was there.

What if everything around you was black and whi te except for the red letters on propaganda signs? Where spies li ke Orwell's Thought Police studied your facial expressions during political rallies to make sure you were sincere in your expressi ons and your thoughts? If you couldn't turn the dials of your rad io away from the government station? In fact, there is such a pla ce: North Korea, the only country not connected to the Internet b y choice. Ruled over by a dictator, visible only in carefully con trolled images, it's a mysterious, even sinister country. But it' s also a place where 22 million people live, work, and dream of a different life. Journalist Barbara Demick spent a decade coverin g North Korea's strange politics and regulations. Then one day sh e met a young woman defector, Mi-ran, who told her about growing up there; about the cinema she used to go to when the country sti ll had electricity, and about the teenage romance which blossomed there. Through Mi-ran's story Demick glimpsed another, more huma n side of North Korea.In Nothing to Envy, Demick re-traces the li fe of Mi-ran and of five other North Koreans, taking us into the heart of an elusive society. We see her subjects fall in love, nu rture ambitions, and struggle with survival and betrayal. Their s tories form a haunting portrait of a bizarre society and the cost it exacts on its citizens. ., Fourth Estate, 2012, 3, Icon Books Company. Very Good. 7 x 0.5 x 9.9 inches. Paperback. 2011. 338 pages. <br>A vehement attack on the latest pseudo-scientific claims about the differences between the sexes. Sex discriminatio n is supposedly a distant memory. Yet popular books, magazines an d even scientific articles increasingly defend inequalities by ci ting immutable biological differences between the male and female brain. That's the reason, we're told, that there are so few wome n in science and engineering, so few men in the laundry room - di fferent brains are just better suited to different things. Drawin g on the latest research in developmental psychology, neuroscienc e, and social psychology, Delusions of Gender powerfully rebuts t hese claims, showing how old myths, dressed up in new scientific finery, are helping perpetuate the sexist status quo. Cordelia Fi ne, 'a cognitive neuroscientist with a sharp sense of humour and an intelligent sense of reality' (The Times) reveals the mind's r emarkable plasticity, shows how profoundly culture influences the way we think about ourselves and, ultimately, exposes just how m uch of what we consider 'hardwired' is actually malleable. Edito rial Reviews Review [Fine] effectively blows the lid off of old tropes Weaving together anecdotes, dense research and quotes from numerous experts, she offers a well-balanced testament to the ma ny ways in which cultural rules inform behaviors often mistaken a s organic to our brains, as opposed to learned [An] informative a nd often surprising study. Cordelia Fine has a first-rate intell ect and writing talent to burn. In her new book, Delusions of Gen der, she takes aim at the idea that male brains and female brains are wired differently, leading men and women to act in a manner consistent with decades-old gender stereotypes. Armed with penetr ating insights, a rapier wit, and a slew of carefully researched facts, Fine lowers her visor, lifts her lance, and attacks this i dea full-force. Whether her adversaries can rally their forces an d mount a successful counter-attack remains to be seen. What s ce rtain at this point, however, is that in Delusions of Gender Cord elia Fine has struck a terrific first blow against what she calls neurosexism. --William Ickes, author of Everyday Mind Reading: U nderstanding What Other People Think and Feel Cordelia Fine s th orough (and funny!) Delusions of Gender punches a giant hole in t he idea that women's brains are somehow hardwired for nurturing a nd domesticity.--Anna North Fine turns the popular science book formula on its head. Chapter-by-chapter, she introduces ideas abo ut innate differences between the sexes and then tartly smacks ar ound studies supposedly supporting them.--Dan Vergano Forceful, funny. . . . These are the right questions to be asking. In Delu sions of Gender Cordelia Fine does a magnificent job debunking th e so-called science, and especially the brain science, of gender. If you thought there were some inescapable facts about women s m inds some hard wiring that explains poor science and maths perfor mance, or the ability to remember to buy the milk and arrange the holidays you can put these on the rubbish heap. Instead, Fine sh ows that there are almost no areas of performance that are not to uched by cultural stereotypes. This scholarly book will make you itch to press the delete button on so much nonsense, while being pure fun to read.--Uta Frith FBA, FMedSci, FRS; Institute of Cogn itive Neuroscience, University College London Starred Review, Pi ck of the Week. A fabulous combination of wit, passion, and schol arship. . . .

The Stand-Up while Sitting Down Years... Jo Brand tells the story of how she crawled to fame and fortune, managed to persuade someone to marry her and had some children at an age when she should have been in a bath chair on the seafront. In this second volume of her memoirs, Jo recounts wild times on the comedy circuit, the attempts to tart her up for the TV screen, running the marathon, rally driving, her numerous, occasionally extremely inebriated, Edinburgh festival appearances, her `acting` career, and much, much more. Jo Brand is one of our best-loved comedians, according to a quote she made up. This memoir is full of hard-won wisdom, hilarity and her views on life, laughs, friendships and all the good and bad things in the world. If she was Prime Minister, the country would be in even more of a mess than it is., Coronet, 2011, 2.5, Michael Joseph. Very Good. 240mm / 160mm. Hardcover. 1998. 740 pages. <br>John Clark faces the world's greatest fear - and h is own - in Tom Clancy's new and most extraordinary novel. Over t he course of nine novels, Tom Clancy has mesmerized hundreds of m illions of readers and established himself as one of the pre-emin ent storytellers of our time. Rainbow Six, however, goes beyond a nything he has done. At its heart is John Clark, the ex-navy SEAL of Without Remorse, well known from several of Clancy's novels a s a master of secret operational missions. Whether hunting warlor ds in Japan, druglords in Colombia or nuclear terrorists in the U nited States, Clark is efficient and deadly, but even he has ghos ts in his past, demons that must be exorcised. And nothing is mor e demonic than the peril he must face in Rainbow Six. Newly named the head of an international task force dedicated to combatting terrorism, Clark is looking forward to getting his teeth into a n ew mission, but the opportunities start coming thicker and faster than anyone could have expected: an incident at a Swiss bank, th e kidnapping of an international trader in Germany, a terrible ra id on an amusement park in Spain. Each episode seems desperate, d iscreet, yet the timing disturbs Clark. Is there a connection? Is he being tested? With the help of his close associates, executiv e officer Alistair Stanley and strike team leaders Domingo Chavez and Peter Covington, Clark tries to figure out where all this ac tivity is heading, but there is no way to protect the real thread : a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could lite rally mean the end of life on this earth as we know it. It is Tom Clancy's most shocking story to date - and closer to the truth t han any government would care to admit. As Clancy takes us throug h the twists and turns of Rainbow Six, he blends the exceptional realism and authenticiy that are his hallmarks with intricate plo tting, knife-edge suspense and a remarkable cast of characters. T his is Clancy at his best - and there is none better. - dust jack et. ., Michael Joseph, 1998, 3, US: Cornerstone, 2016. Paperback. Very Good.

"There are a couple of hundred songs that are sung by millions across the world each day, that school children know by heart and sports fans belt out perfectly even after eight beers. And they aren't pop songs u they are national anthems. These are songs which inspire the fiercest of feelings: for some they are a declaration of nationalistic pride; for others a rallying cry for revolution; and for others still they serve as a shameful reminder of past wrongs. And yet, despite the fact that for many of us they form a fundamental part of our national consciousness, the fascinating stories underlying the creation and adoption of each national anthem have rarely, if ever, been told. In Republic or Death, Alex Marshall brings the incredible stories of the world's national anthems to life. Taking in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Americas North and South, he embarks on an adventure that includes cycling the route along which French revolutionaries marched as they first sang La Marseillaise; entering a competition for the best singer of the Star-Spangled Banner; and attempting to bribe his way to an audience with the king of Nepal in order to uncover the story behind the only national anthem written on a Casio keyboard. In the course of his enthralling and often hilarious travels, Alex encounters everyone from senior politicians and anthem composers to the sports fans and activists from whom these songs evoke such a wide range of emotions.
