Water Under The Bridge - Susan Sallis - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Water Under The Bridge - Susan Sallis - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Emmie Dart was nearly forty years old and servant to old Canon James when Walter asked her to marry him. He was the Canon''s son, younger than she was, and a gentleman - even though a rather dilettante drifter who had really done very little with his life. But Walter had a secret in his past that he asked Emmie to share with him - and she, in turn, told him of her harsh and cruel background that made her feel unworthy to be anyone''s wife. In spite of everything the marriage worked. Walter became Station Master at the lazy, sundrenched little country station of Dymock. Emmie set about rearing her three children, all so different. As Walter and Emmie watched their children grow, marry, have children of their own, so three women began to dominate the family - Dorothy, who was proud, loyal, strong, and frequently extremely angry with the James family into which she had married, Kildie, illegitimate, manipulative, and causing constant strife and drama, and Holly, the third generation, whose loving spirit often held them all together. It was more than fifty years before Walter James''s secret was revealed - a secret that nearly broke the family apart.

Books do Furnish a Life - Richard Dawkins - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''A rich feast of his essays, reviews, forewords, squibs and conversations, in which talent and passion are married to deep knowledge.'' Matt Ridley ''Enjoy the unfailing clarity of his thought and prose, as well as the grandeur of his vision of life on Earth.'' - Mark Cocker, Spectator ''Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.'' Sunday Times Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley and more, this is an essential guide to the most exciting ideas of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science communicator. Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith. For the first time, it brings together Richard Dawkins'' forewords, afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age - Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - with a selection of his reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of science writing, both fiction and non-fiction. It is also a sparkling addition to Dawkins'' own remarkable canon of work.

Every Single Ball - Brian Corcoran - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Every Single Ball - Brian Corcoran - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''You might never have seen a hurling game in your life, but within ten minutes of seeing Brian Corcoran play, you''d know and say, "That man with that helmet is special." He just has an authority, a grace, a presence that elevates him from everything else which surrounds him'' - Ger LoughnaneThe year 2006 was about more than an historic three-in-a-row bid for the Cork hurlers; it marked the last year in the inter-county career of probably the county''s finest and most revered hurler of the past 20 years. In Every Single Ball , Brian Corcoran gives us a riveting insight into the workings of the most professional team the GAA has ever known as they sought hurling immortality. He also takes us through, in his refreshingly candid and sincere way, one of the most varied and lengthy careers of modern times and the personalities, highs, trials and tribulations he encountered along the way. He brings us into the training grounds and dressing-rooms of Billy Morgan, Larry Tompkins, Canon O''Brien and Jimmy Barry-Murphy, recalls the torment and frustration that caused him to walk away from hurling at only 28 and reveals how, just like his hero, Michael Jordan, he came back and fell in love again with his sport and with winning.Quite simply, Every Single Ball is the story of one of Ireland''s greatest sporting comebacks, sportsmen and sports teams.

The Lightstep - John Dickinson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Lightstep - John Dickinson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

There was once no greater advocate for revolution than Michel Wéry. No voice spoke louder, was more impassioned, on the need for a new order, for an end to disparity and injustice - not just in France but throughout the continent. Strange, then, that such a man should find himself in the employ of the Prince Bishop of Erzberg, as scout and spymaster for a regime at absolute odds with his ideals.But time has taught Wéry harsh lessons: the Terror, the endless wrangling, the petty motivations of France''s new ruling class, and the atrocities carried out in freedom''s name - all have left their mark. Revolution has spawned a monster, and Wéry has vowed to thwart its march.And with Paris'' scheming now focused on the Prince Bishoprics, her armies poised to strike, it seems fate has thrown Wéry his chance. But just what is he prepared to sacrifice? Himself? surely. A city state? Perhaps. The life of the sister of his one true friend? The beautiful Maria Adelsheim who dances the Lightstep in mourning for a brother, and for a man whom might yet be saved...Set against a backdrop of political thrust and counter-thrust, of lavish balls and shadowy cults, and to the rhythm of incessant canon-fire, The Lightstep is an epic story of love and honour, and a stunningly realised account of one of the defining moments in modern European history.

The Autobiography of Jack the Ripper - James Carnac - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Autobiography of Jack the Ripper - James Carnac - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This memoir was recently discovered and appears to have been written in the 1920s by somone who asserts that he was Jack the Ripper.This person is James Carnac, this memoir written shortly before his death is an account of his entire life, including a few short months in 1888 when he became the murderer known to posterity as Jack the Ripper. This book introduces a new suspect for the infamous murders in Whitechapel in 1888. There is information in this book that does not appear to be derived from contemporary newspapers or any other publications and the descriptions of Tottenham in the 1870s, the visits to performances of Jekyll and Hyde, the intricate geography of Whitechapel in 1888 are written with pin-point accuracy. There is also a credible motive given for James becoming the murderer Jack and also a reason for the end of the murders. Given the fact that the author also appear to have knowledge about aspects of the case not in the public arena at the time it could be that this actually is the autobiography of Jack the Ripper.Ultimately it is up to the reader to decide if they believe the mystery has been solved at last but even if they end up deciding the account to be a work of fiction it would still be one of the very earliest imaginings of the Ripper case, written in the early years of the twentieth century, a fascinating piece of period writing and a worthy addition to the Ripper canon. Whatever side they come down on there is no question that this book will be a source of much debate.

The Battle of the Beams - Tom Whipple - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Battle of the Beams - Tom Whipple - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Deeply researched and engagingly written'' The Times ''Has the pace and style of a well-crafted thriller'' Mail on Sunday ''Chock full of memorable characters and written with all the drama and pace of a Robert Harris thriller'' Rowland White, author of Mosquito Summer 1939. War is coming. The British believe that, through ingenuity and scientific prowess, they alone have a war-winning weapon: radar. They are wrong. The Germans have it too.They believe that their unique maritime history means their pilots have no need of navigational aids. They are wrong. Most of the bombs the RAF will drop in the first years of the war land miles from their target.They also believe that the Germans, without the same naval tradition, will never be able to find targets at night. They are, again, wrong.In 1939 the Germans don''t just have radar to spot planes entering their airspace, they have radio beams to guide their own planes into enemy airspace.This war will be fought on land and sea and in the air, but it will also be fought on the airwaves. It will be fought between scientists on both sides at the forefront of knowledge, and the agents and commandos they relied on to bolster that knowledge. Thanks to one young engineer, Reginald Jones, the British develop radar technology that went on to help the Allies win the war.Relying on first-hand accounts from Reginald Jones as well as papers recently released by the Admiralty, The Battle of the Beams fills a huge missing piece in the canon of World War II literature. It is a tale that combines history, science, derring do and dogged determination and will appeal as much to fans of World War II history as to those fascinated by the science behind the beams that changed our lives. The radio war of 1939-45 is one of the great scientific battles in history. This is the story of that war.

They are wrong. The Germans have it too.They believe that their unique maritime history means their pilots have no need of navigational aids. Flying above the clouds they, like the seafarers of old, had the stars to guide them, and that is all that is required. They are wrong. Most of the bombs the RAF will drop in the first years of the war land miles from their target.They also believe that the Germans, without the same naval tradition, will never be able to find targets at night. They are, again, wrong. In 1939 the Germans don''t just have radar to spot planes entering their airspace, they have radio beams to guide their own planes into enemy airspace.Luckily there was one young engineer, Reginald Jones, helping the British government with their own scientific developments. In June 1940, when Jones quietly explained the beams the Germans had devised to a room full of disbelieving sceptics, Churchill later described the moment as like sitting in the parlour while Sherlock Holmes finally reveals the killer. Churchill immediately supported Jones''s efforts to develop radar technology that went on to help the Allies win the war.
