There’s more than petty theft going on in a London youth hostel…An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot’s interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items – including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup – he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a ‘unique and beautiful problem’.The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?

An entertaining, impassioned polemic on the retreat of reason in the late 20th century. An intellectual call to arms, Francis Wheen’s Sunday Times bestseller is one of 2004’s most talked about books.In 1979 two events occurred that would shape the next twenty-five years. In Britain, an era of weary consensualist politics was displaced by the arrival of Margaret Thatcher, whose ambition was to reassert 'Victorian values'. In Iran, the fundamentalist cleric Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini set out to restore a regime that had last existed almost 1,300 years ago. Between them they succeeded in bringing the twentieth century to a premature close. By 1989, Francis Fukuyama was declaring that we had now reached the End of History.What colonised the space recently vacated by notions of history, progress and reason? Cults, quackery, gurus, irrational panics, moral confusion and an epidemic of mumbo-jumbo. Modernity was challenged by a gruesome alliance of pre-modernists and post-modernists, medieval theocrats and New Age mystics. It was as if the Enlightenment had never happened.Francis Wheen, winner of the George Orwell prize, evokes the key personalities of the post-political era – including Princess Diana and Deepak Chopra, Osama Bin-Laden and Nancy Reagan's astrologer – while charting the extraordinary rise in superstition, relativism and emotional hysteria over the past quarter of a century. From UFO scares to dotcom mania, his hilarious and gloriously impassioned polemic describes a period in the world's history when everything began to stop making sense.

Il ”Piano Eterno – Rivelato” ? una raccolta di articoli che sono stati dettati all'uomo chiamato Medium felice, Colin Jones, dai suoi spiriti guida. Egli li ha registrati di suo pugno. L'uomo, l'entit?, come ho imparato a descriverlo, che ho conosciuto come mio padre per tutta la mia vita, ? Colin Jones. Nel 1999 mi diede alcuni pacchetti per la spesa e mi chiese di leggerne il contenuto e di scriverci un libro, se avessi potuto. A quel tempo, non potevo e il tempo non sembrava impellente, cos? ho messo i pacchetti nella mia cassaforte a casa. Mor? qualche anno dopo, il giorno del suo 72° compleanno, il 21 febbraio. Io e tutta la nostra famiglia eravamo devastati, ma non ho fatto nulla per i ”suoi pacchetti”. Non avevo idea di cosa fare. Mi sono trasferito all'estero e ho scritto un romanzo – che ha richiesto cinque anni, anche se ? rimasto inedito. Nel 2011, ho iniziato una nuova impresa pubblicando l'ebook che avevo scritto io stesso. Il coraggio di scrivere questi ebook era venuto dalla scrittura del primo libro. Ho cercato un modo per aggirare l'editoria tradizionale e mi sono imbattuto in Kindle di Amazon. Ho imparato a pubblicare i miei ebook attraverso di loro e ho capito come pubblicare il libro di pap? e poi il mio. Mi ci ? voluto molto tempo, ma penso che sono stato guidato dallo Spirito, anche se ero un allievo lento. Mio padre, Colin Jones, non avrebbe mai detto che questi scritti erano suoi. Piuttosto avrebbe detto che era stato ispirato, nel vero senso della parola. La gente gli diceva cosa scrivere. Tutta la nostra famiglia ne ? stata testimone nel corso di cinque o sei decenni. A volte, pap? era seduto con noi a guardare la TV, ma i suoi occhi erano chiusi e stava scrivendo i pezzi che vedete in questo ebook. Faceva anche dei disegni. Io e i miei fratelli abbiamo il grande privilegio di essere nati con una persona cos?, ma come nella maggior parte dei casi con i genitori, ce ne siamo resi conto troppo tardi. Spero che questo libro vi piaccia. Lo amplier? nelle edizioni successive. Un ultimo punto, la madre di mio padre, Lavinia Jones, fond? una chiesa spiritualista a Barry, nel Galles del Sud, dove vivevamo e quella chiesa in Butrill's Road ? ancora in funzione oggi.

The iconic broadcasting legend dusts down his suitcase for a final journey around the globe, revisiting locations of significance to his life and career."You might say I'm set in my airways. I'm one of those lucky people whose professional and private lives blend exactly."Alan Whicker, 2007This sumptuous book to accompany the major BBC TV series of the same name, is a glorious celebration of 50 years in front of the camera.For as long as most can remember, Whicker has roamed far and wide in search of the eccentric, the ludicrous and the socially-revealing aspects of everyday life as lived by some of the more colourful of the world's inhabitants.Since the late 1950s, when the long-running Whicker's World documentary was first screened, he has probed and dissected the often secretive and unobserved worlds of the rich and famous, rooting out the most implausible and sometimes ridiculous characters after gaining admittance to the places where they conduct their leisure hours.The great man's legacy contains a number of genuine TV firsts. As well as landmark interviews with figures as diverse as Papa Doc, Paul Getty and The Sultan of Brunei, he was a pioneer, covering subjects like plastic surgery, gay weddings, polygamy, swinging and following gun-toting cops, fly-on-the-wall style, for British screens long before anyone else.This wonderful new book is the end product of a very personal journey. Whicker retraces his steps, catching up with some past interviewees and reflecting on how the world has changed – for good and bad – over the passing of time. Journey of a Lifetime is lyrical, uplifting and peppered with our favourite globetrotter's brand of subtle satire.

It was a murder made for TV: a trail of tiny bloody footprints.An innocent toddler playing beside her mother's bludgeoned body. Pretty young Corinne Wolff, seven months pregnant, brutally murdered in her own home. Cameras and questions don't usually faze Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson, but the media frenzy surrounding the Wolff case is particularly nasty. . . and thorough.When the seemingly model mommy is linked to an amateur porn Web site with underage actresses and unwitting players, the sharks begin to circle. The shock is magnified when an old adversary uses the sexy secret footage to implicate Taylor in a murder—an accusation that threatens her career, her reputation and her relationship.Both cases hinge on the evidence—real or manufactured—of crimes that go beyond passion, into the realm of obsessive vengeance and shocking betrayal. Just what the networks love.Praise for J.T. Ellison"A terrific lead character, terrific suspense, terrific twists…a completely convincing debut." – Lee Child «A taut, striking debut.
