Imprint: Bantam Press, 2007 Paul West is in deep financial merde. His only way out of debt is to accept a decidedly dodgy job that involves him crossing the USA in a Mini, while pretending to be typically British. Adding to the crush in the car is Paul' s French girlfriend, Alexa, and his American poet friend Jake whose main ai m in life is to sleep with a woman from every country in the world. Prefera bly in the back of Paul's Mini. But as the little car battles from New York to Miami, and then heads west, legroom turns out to be the least of Paul's troubles. His work is being sabotaged, his tour plans are in tatters, and his love life becomes a Franco-American war zone. And as Paul knows better than anyone, when you mix love and war - merde happens ..., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000015573. ISBN: 9780593056318

Imprint: Black Swan, 2005 'Edgier than Bryson, hits harder than Mayle' The Times A year after arrivin g in France, Englishman Paul West is still struggling with some fundamental questions: What is the best way to scare a gendarme? Why are there no heal th warnings on French nudist beaches? And is it really polite to sleep with your boss's mistress? Paul opens his English tea room, and mutates (tempor arily) into a Parisian waiter; samples the pleasures of typically French ho tel-room afternoons; and, on a return visit to the UK, sees the full horror of a British office party through Parisian eyes. Meanwhile, he continues h is search for the perfect French mademoiselle. But will Paul find l'amour e ternel, or will it all end in merde? MERDE ACTUALLY In his second comedy of errors, Paul West continues to sabotage the entente cordiale.

By the twenty-third century Earth has already had two encounters with massive, mysterious robotic spacecraft from beyond our solar system--the incontestable proof of an alien technology that far exceeds our own. Now three human cosmonauts are trapped aboard a labyrinthine Raman vessel, where it will take all of their physical and mental resources to surviv. Only twelve years into their journey do these intrepid travelers learn their destination and face their ultimate challenge: a rendevous with a Raman base--and the unseen architects of their galactic home. The cosmonauts have given up family, friends, and possessions to live a new kind of life. But the answers that await them at the Raman Node will require an even greater sacrifice--if humanity is indeed ready to learn the awe-inspiring truth., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000036929.

Imprint: Berkley, 2006 Some of us have learned to listen when Richard A. Clarke has something to s ay. As the long-time White House counterterrorism chief, he warned the U.S. Commission on National Security for the 21st Century in 1999 that terroris ts were coming. We listened, but when we passed the warning on to President Bush, he did not. Now Clarke comes with a novel that, even if you swallow only a portion of it, will keep you awake at night. It's basically about tu rmoil in the Middle East, threatening to lead to World War III between the United States and China involving -- guess what? -- oil. Reading The Scorpion's Gate will require you to contemplate the consequences of the fall of the House of Saud, indigenous democracy on the Arabian Peninsula in a successor government of moderate Islamists, the profound fissure between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, possible Chinese military intervention in the Middle East, America's disastrous energy policy, the costs of the Iraq War, the simple-minded U.S. understanding of the Middle East, and the political complexities of that region., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000010659.

Imprint: Michael Joseph, 2007 Jeremy Clarkson knows there's more to life than cars. There is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before he gets o n with the job in hand, he'd like to take some time out to consider the big ger picture. Don't worry, he'll get on to the car bit eventually, but befor e he does, there's time to learn about: · The unfortunate collapse of the British Empire · Why Galapagos tortoises are all mental · France, reduced to the size of a small coconut · Why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of AC/DC aren't so very differe nt · The problems of being English · And God's most stupid creation. And then there's the cars: whether it's the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, fire-breathing supercar, no one else writes about cars like Jeremy. Unmoved by official claims and uninterested in press junkets, he approaches anything on four wheels without fear or favour. What emerges from the ashes is not always pretty. But it is, invariably, very, very funny., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039242. ISBN: 9780718153465

But to no avail. Jeremy's one- man war on crimes against common sense has not yet been won. And our hero's still s cratching his head at the madness of it all. But it's not all bad. He's lea rned a little along the way, including: Why binge drinking is good for you; The worst word in the English language; The remarkable secret of eternal y outh; The pleasure and pain of middle-aged drumming; The problem with Ameri ca; And how to dispose of a seal. For anyone who's been driven to wonder ju st what is the matter with people these days, For Crying Out Loud! is the p erfect riposte. Surprising, fearless and always laugh-out-loud funny, Clark son's back. And he's got a point... Editorial Reviews About the Author Jeremy Clarkson began his writing career on the Rotherham Advertiser. Since then he has written for the Sun, the Sunday Times, the Rochdale Observer, the Wolverhampton Express & Star, all of the associated Kent Newspapers, and Lincolnshire Life.

Imprint: Penguin UK, 2004 Jeremy Clarkson invites us to Motorworld, his take on different cultures an d the cars that they drive. There are ways and means of getting about that don't involve four wheels, but in this slice of vintage Clarkson, Jeremy is n't much interested in them. Back in 1996, he took himself off to 12 countr ies (okay, 11--he goes to America twice) in search of the hows, whys, and w herefores of different nationalities and their relationships with cars. The re were a few questions he needed answers to: Why, for instance, is it that Italians are more interested in looking good than looking where they are g oing? Why do Indians crash a lot? How can an Arab describe himself as "not a rich man" with four of the world's most expensive cars in his drive? And why have the otherwise neutral Swiss declared war on the car? From Cuba to Iceland, Australia to Vietnam, Japan to Texas, Jeremy Clarkson tells us of his adventures on and off four wheels as he seeks to discover just what it is that makes our motorworld tick over., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000037897.

The I Ching (Book of Change) is considered the oldest of the Chinese classics, and has throughout Chinese history commanded unsurpassed prestige and popularity. Containing several layers of text and given numerous levels of interpretation, the I Ching has been venerated for more than three thousand years as an oracle of fortune, a guide to success, and a source of wisdom. The underlying theme of the text is change, and how this fundamental force influences all aspects of life--from business and politics to personal relationships.

Imprint: Shambhala, 1996 This extraordinary collection of teachings and commentaries illuminates the many profound mysteries of inner alchemy, one of the most important dimens ions of the Taoist tradition. The science of inner alchemy consists of medi tation practices that enable the individual to have a more intimate, energi zing, and inspiring relationship with life. Although these techniques are d escribed in the sourcebooks of ancient Taoism, they are often couched in cr yptic symbolic language, making it difficult for today's seekers t put thes e teachings into practice. Some classical Taoist writers, however, did adop t a more explicit manner of expression. Practical Taoism is a collection of writings from these more accessible commentators on the traditional alchem ical texts, compiled by a seventh- generation master of the Northern Branch of the Complete Reality School of Taoism known as the Preserver of Truth., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000037366.

For fans of CJ Sansom and SJ Parris, PRINCE is the third in Rory Clements' acclaimed and bestselling John Shakespeare series of Tudor spy thrillers. Clements, winner of the Ellis Peters Historical Fiction Award, 'does for Elizabeth's reign what CJ Sansom does for Henry VIII's' Sunday Times Spring 1593. England is a powder keg of rumour and fear. Plague rages, famine is rife, the ageing Queen's couriers scheme: Elizabeth's Golden Age is truly tarnished. Meanwhile Spain watches and waits - and plots. Into this turmoil a small cart clatters through the streets of London, carrying a deadly load. It is the first in a wave of horrific bombing attacks on the Dutch immigrant community that will change John Shakespeare's life for ever. Driven on by cold rage, Shakespeare's investigations will take him from magnificent royal horseraces to the opulent chambers of Black Luce's brothel, from the theatrical underworld of Marlowe and Kyd to the pain- wracked torture cells of priest-hunter Richard Topcliffe, and from the elegant offices of master tactician Robert Cecil to the splintering timbers of an explosive encounter at sea. As Shakespeare delves ever deeper, he uncovers intricate layers of mystery and deception that threaten the heart not only of the realm, but of all that he holds dear., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038373.

Imprint: Ballantine Books, 2000 The product of an upstate New York Catholic girlhood, Clinton spent eight y ears teaching English before she took a leave, developed her feminist and l esbian consciousness and began writing. That writing turned into stand-up c omedy. Since 1981, Clinton has been performing at festivals, universities a nd other sites outside the comedy club circuit. This book collects her rout ines and anecdotes, many of which work as prose, though they clearly would be elevated by performance. In contrast to the mainstream themes of many ot her comedian's books, Clinton's pointed politics and lesbian frame of refer ence are showcased here. She chronicles the emergence of gays: "We aren't s o much a movement anymore as a niche market waiting to be scratched." Lamen ting the programmed world of Disney, she dishes, "Old Walt must have been s ome kind of control queen." The Gulf War campaign she calls "Operation Just 'Cause George Bush Felt Like It.'" Clinton's comedy aims for more than the laughs, however. She recalls giving a great show in one small church basem ent in the South, with an audience "in desperate need of some news about th eir lives." And even though Clinton claims to feel "shame and guilt" about doing talk shows, she recalls how one young lesbian said that seeing her on the Maury Povich Show was a consciousness-raising moment and a relief from depression., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000005835.

Imprint: Waite Group Press, 2001 Wow, this is a fun book. If you spend a lot of time on Web design and suffe r occasional burnout, Fresh Styles is the inspiration booster shot you need to get you back to the keyboard to whip up something new. Perhaps you'd li ke to try "gothic organic" or "pixelated punk"? Author Curt Cloninger, who' s written for the Web developer forum Alistapart.com, defines 10 "undergrou nd" Web styles using case studies of several Web sites, and discovers what makes them not just cutting edge but marketable, too. These site designs no t only mimic print design, but embrace the medium of the Web with all its f laws (browser incompatibilities, sluggish download times, varying viewer op erating systems, and screen resolutions). All 10 of the design styles discussed in this book sprang from a dissatisf action with the status quo, a love of the Web as a medium, and a passion fo r evocative, communicative design. With such fun chapters as "1950s Hello Kitty Style" and "Paper Bag Style," hundreds of screenshots, and techniques for achieving these looks, Fresh S tyles isn't just an inspiring kick in the pants but a cookbook/resource as well. Not everything here conforms to usability wisdom; for example, pages may not bookmark because they're in designer-defined pop-up windows or the entire site is one big Flash file. But the author encourages readers to go beyond the universally practical: "Go ahead and fiddle while Rome burns." There are ideas here you may never have thought of using. The 8-bit gifs in the "SuperTiny SimCity Style" are the opposite of most designers' layered Photoshop creations.

Completing our conscious evolution by releasing our collective fear of cata strophes • Explains how we are on the cusp of an era of incredible creative growth • Shows how we are about to overcome the collective fear caused by ancient catastrophes as we awaken to the memories of our lost prehistory • Examines legendary cataclysms and scientific evidence of a highly advance d global culture that disappeared 11,500 years ago In this completely revised and expanded edition of Catastrophobia, bestsell ing author Barbara Hand Clow explains how we are on the cusp of an age of i ncredible creative growth made possible by restoring our lost prehistory. E xamining legendary cataclysms--such as the fall of Atlantis and the biblica l Flood--and the mounting geological and archaeological evidence that many of these mythic catastrophes were actual events, she reveals the existence of a highly advanced global maritime culture that disappeared amid great ea rth changes and rising seas 14,000 to 11,500 years ago, nearly causing our species' extinction and leaving humanity's collective psyche deeply scarred . Tracing humanity's reemergence after these prehistoric catastrophes, Clow explains how these events in the deep past influence our consciousness today. Guided by Carl Johan Calleman's analysis of the Mayan Calendar, she reveals that as the Earth's 26,000- year precessional cycle shifts, our evolution is accelerating to prepare us for a new age of harmony and peace.

Satya describes the huge cosmic drama taking place simultaneously in nine dimensions, with Earth as the chosen theater. The Pleiadians are a group of enlightened beings who believe that the end of the Mayan Calendar will signal a critical leap in human evolution; the Pleiadians will be there to guide us for that leap.

Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002 "He's All Man" is John M. Clum's insightful, biting and characteristically humorous analysis of the central myths of American manhood that have been p ropagated by Hollywood films and dramatized by our major playwrights. In th e politically incorrect way he dared to ask "What happened to gay irony?" i n Something for the Boys, Clum now dares to ask the explosive question "Wha t is the vision of the American Male that Hollywood has sold us?" "He's All Man" examines the ways in which homoeroticism has been part of the myth of American manhood, wrapping itself around cowboy, soldier, and gangster leg ends as they fuse to create a picture of the quintessential American male. From Audie Murphy to The Sands of Iwo Jima and The Maltese Falcon, Clum tak es us on a tour of the roughs, the toughs, and the fluffs that swagger, str ut, and pirouette their way through the Hollywood Masculinity Machine and t he ways in which gay filmmakers have bought into the Hollywood vision of ma nhood and romance. Just as Something for the Boys raised hackles and caused controversy over Lorenz Hart's lyrics and Ethel Merman's lungs, "He's All Man" will surely do the same for Edward G. Robinson's cigar and Marlon Bran do's t-shirt., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000028496. ISBN: 9780312240356

Imprint: Gill & MacMillan, Limited, 2001 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Why are so many species of plant and animal disappearing? How is it that Earth is losing more fresh water than it is producing? What are the effects of chlorination and fluoridation of water? The answers to these and many more pressing environmental questions are to be found in this remarkable book - the first in-depth examination of the life and work of the brilliant forester, scientist and pioneering inventor, Viktor Schauberger. Schauberger's insights into Nature pivoted on the essential characteristics of water as a living and pulsating substance that energizes all of life, both organic and inorganic. He frequently asserted, ""Water is a living substance!""--an ideal to which many philosophers have subscribed. With his ground-breaking concepts on energy, biomagnetism and the true function of trees, he showed how a world that exploited its resources rather than cherishing them was doomed to destroy itself. Above all, he demonstrated how Nature's abundance is the result of a complex interaction of energies that actually create matter, not the other way around as orthodox science believes. For him energy was primary, and physical form the secondary effect., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039169. ISBN: 9780717133079

Imprint: Floris Books, 2007 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. A concise introduction to Schauberger's life and thinking. Viktor Schauberger's knowledge of natural energies led to inventions which, if properly harnessed, could solve the world's energy crisis. Unfortunately most people still find his ideas difficult to understand or accept. Jane Cobbald first became interested in Schauberger's theories when she realised that using a copper trowel in her garden greatly increased her potato harvest. In this book, she does not aim to provide a definitive explanation of his ideas. Instead, she takes a biographical approach and teases out the different strands of his thinking, presenting them in his own words. She shows how his approach developed over the course of his eventful life (which included both World Wars) and takes the reader on a journey through his discoveries, interspersed with lively anecdotes which illustrate how his mind worked. She asks the questions Schauberger asked. What energy do trouts use to stay almost motionless in fast-flowing mountain streams, or to climb waterfalls? How does a tall tree draw the water from its roots all the way to the top? Viktor Schauberger's insights into natural energies are here explained in a clear, unassuming and entertaining way. His remarkable inventions, the author argues, could be the much-needed solutions to our energy, transport and health issues. Includes an exclusive interview with Ingeborg Schauberger, Viktor's daughter-in-law., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039182. ISBN: 9780863155697
