Tea For Our Time - Stephen Twining - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Founded at Tom''s Coffee House in the early 18th century, this family business came to dominate the London tea trade.

In the Name of the Mother - Paul Caruana Galizia - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When Paul Caruana Galizia was at work in London, his eldest brother called to say their mother Daphne had just been assassinated. That day, he returned to their native Malta and, with his two brothers and their father, began a personal quest to discover who was responsible for Daphne's murder and who stood to profit from ending the life of a journalist whose courage and determination threatened the powerful with the truth. Two years later, they have. In the Name of the Mother is more than an investigation into the life and assassination of Daphne by her son Paul. It's an examination of the globalisation of corruption and what it has done to a modern European country; it's about the escape from colonialism to another kind of arrogant power; it's a personal history of writing when the stakes are high and the intimidation is violent. Above all, it's a universal homage to mothers and their sons.

Armchair Nation - Joe Moran - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

But what does your furniture point at?'' asks the character Joey in the sitcom Friends on hearing an acquaintance has no TV. It''s a good question: since its beginnings during WW2, television has assumed a central role in our houses and our lives, just as satellite dishes and aerials have become features of urban skylines. Television (or ''the idiot''s lantern'', depending on your feelings about it) has created controversy, brought coronations and World Cups into living rooms, allowed us access to 24hr news and media and provided a thousand conversation starters. As shows come and go in popularity, the history of television shows us how our society has changed.Armchair Nation reveals the fascinating, lyrical and sometimes surprising history of telly, from the first demonstration of television by John Logie Baird (in Selfridges) to the fear and excitement that greeted its arrival in households (some viewers worried it might control their thoughts), the controversies of Mary Whitehouse''s ''Clean Up TV'' campaign and what JG Ballard thought about Big Brother. Via trips down memory lane with Morecambe and Wise, Richard Dimbleby, David Frost, Blue Peter and Coronation Street, you can flick between fascinating nuggets from the strange side of TV: what happened after a chimpanzee called ''Fred J. Muggs'' interrupted American footage of the Queen''s wedding, and why aliens might be tuning in to The Benny Hill Show.
