Discover the woman behind the spectacles in the hilarious, incredibly moving memoir from much loved comedian, writer and presenter Sue Perkins, star of Mel Sue and The Great British Bake Off Very funny. Reading her memoir is very like meeting her Sunday Times Tight bright full of inspiration Chris Evans, Radio 2 When I began writing this book, I went home to see if my mum had kept some of my stuff. What I found was that she hadn t kept some of it. She had kept all of it - every bus ticket, postcard, school report - from the moment I was born to the moment I finally had the confidence to turn round and say Why is our house full of this shit? Sadly, a recycling incident destroyed the bulk of this archive.This has meant two things: firstly, Dear Reader, you will never get to see countless drawings of wizards, read a poem about corn on the cob, or marvel at the kilos of brown flowers I so lovingly pressed as a child. Secondly, it s left me with no choice but to actually write this thing myself.This, my first ever book, will answer questions such as Is Mary Berry real? , Is it true you wear a surgical truss? and Is a non-spherically symmetric gravitational pull from outside the observable universe responsible for some of the observed motion of large objects such as galactic clusters in the universe? Most of this book is true. I have, of course, amplified my more positive characteristics in an effort to make you like me.Thank you for reading.Praise for Spectacles Drama, tears and laughs - Spectacles has got it all. A brilliant, touching memoir suffused with love, it reminds you that life is best lived at wonky angles. I ADORED it Jessie Burton, bestselling author of The Miniaturist Very funny . . . It seems there are two Sue Perkins: the TV one, who gabbles and pratfalls, and the sensitive one who aches. The first of course, exists to protect the second. They can both write. The first writes comedy, the second tragedy; in this sense, reading her memoir is very like meeting her Sunday Times

A Penitent People: The Doctrine of RepentanceIn this refreshing exploration of a frequently misunderstood spiritual discipline, Harrison Perkins invites Christians to reconsider repentance not as a dreary obligation, but as a joyful gift of grace. With theological depth and pastoral sensitivity, Perkins shows how repentance is about freedomâ ”Christ freeing His people from sin s enslaving power. Drawing from Scripture and Reformed tradition, A Penitent People illuminates repentance as both personal posture and communal practice. Through thoughtful examinations of key biblical passages, Perkins demonstrates that genuine repentance flows from faith, propels us toward Christ, and transforms both individuals and churches. This book challenges common misconceptions, showing that repentance isn t about earning God s favor but experiencing the freedom Christ purchased. Rather than focusing on guilt, Perkins emphasizes how repentance allows believers to enjoy the â ˜twofold benefitâ ™ of Christâ ”justification and progressive sanctification. Perfect for pastors, students, and everyday Christians seeking to deepen their spiritual life, A Penitent People offers a biblical vision of repentance that liberates rather than burdensâ ”inviting readers to discover the sweet relief of turning from sin to embrace the goodness of God.

Alfréd Perkins má zdánlivě všechno. Peníze, mladou milenku a především úspěšný podnik, s nímž na sklonku devatenáctého století kočuje Evropou, aby publiku předvedl vousatou ženu, siamská dvojčata, obra nebo trpaslíky. Jednoho dne Perkinse navštíví Leopold Higgs, jeho starý známý, a nabídne mu, aby společně založili zábavní park v Čechách. Perkins souhlasí, aniž by tušil, jaké důsledky bude toto rozhodnutí mít nejen pro něj, ale i pro jeho svěřence.O téměř sto třicet let později přijíždí na místo bývalého zábavního parku doktor historie Benedikt Knesl se svojí praktikantkou Klárou, aby pomohli policii s nevšedním případem. Ve zpustlém a opuštěném areálu se totiž našla kostra s prostřelenou lebkou…

A common-sense guide to living rich . . . instead of dying rich Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired. The only thing you wasted along the way was . . . your life. Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called “golden years.” In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’s plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for. You’ll discover how to maximize your lifetime memorable moments with “time-bucketing,” how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your “net worth curve,” and how to navigate decisions about whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure with your “fulfillment curve” and “personal interest rate.” Using his own life experiences as well as the inspiring stories and cautionary tales of others—and drawing on eye-opening insights about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance—Perkins makes a timely, convincing, and contrarian case for living large.

***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15 EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS***False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the â ˜corporatocracyâ ™ â “ a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals â “ to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power - Yanis Varoufakis It comes from the heart.

The long-awaited monograph of the UK s leading graphic design and branding agency.The world is full of design companies, but none of them are like North. Formed in 1995 by Sean Perkins, the studio has always followed a highly individualistic path. This individualism manifests itself in many ways: most notably in the absence of a densely populated studio website; there are no hyperactive social media feeds; even the studio s name, derived from Perkins origins in the unmetropolitan north of England, stands for frill-free, plain speaking, visual directness. It s almost as if North is a well-kept secret. Yet the group has a devoted worldwide following, and attracts myriad clients keen to hire them for their ability to produce memorable and carefully engineered visual identities.North s work is the product of sharp-brained research, high-end craft and precise visual expression. And as can be seen in the pages of this book, the studio s first monograph, the result is a rich crop of brand identities, packaging, exhibitions, books, posters and logos. It includes work for Tate, Southbank, Munch (Oslo), Co-op, Barbican, Samsung, Meta, Science Museum, The Royal Mint and M+ (Hong Kong). On the grounds that graphic design is required to speak for itself , the book dispenses with descriptive or biographical texts. Instead, the reader is engaged by more than 300 pages of articulate and eloquent visual expression, arranged in a rigorously planned mix of photography, typography, layout and colour.Like North itself, the book is unlike other design books. That s what makes it a North book.

We shall therefore confine our walk to Central London where people meet on business during the day, and to West London where they meet for pleasure at night. If you will walk about the first City in the British Empire arm in arm with Merriman-Labor, you are sure to see Britons in merriment and at labour, by night and by day, in West and Central London. In Britons Through Negro Spectacles Merriman-Labor takes us on a joyous, intoxicating tour of London at the turn of the 20th century.Slyly subverting the colonial gaze usually placed on Africa, he introduces us to the citizens, culture and customs of Britain with a mischievous glint in his eye.This incredible work of social commentary feels a century ahead of its time, and provides unique insights into the intersection between empire, race and community at this important moment in history.Selected by Booker Prize-winning author Bernardine Evaristo, this series rediscovers and celebrates pioneering books depicting black Britain that remap the nation.

Into the insular town of 1930s Ferrara, a new doctor arrives. Fadigati is hopeful and modern, and more than anything wants to fit into his new home. But his fresh, appealing appearance soon crumbles when the townsfolk discover his homosexuality, and the young man he pays to be his lover humiliates him publicly. As anti-Semitism spreads across Italy, the Jewish narrator of the tale begins to feel pity for the ostracized doctor, as the fickle nature of a community changing under political forces becomes clear. The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles is a gripping and tragic study of how lives can be destroyed by those we consider our neighbours.

WINNER OF THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION Gripping from the start, Written in Bone is superb - Dr Richard Shepherd, author of Unnatural Causes No Scientist communicates better than Sue Black - Val McDermid, author of Still Life Macabre, authoritative and fascinating. - The Sunday TimesOur bones are the silent witnesses to the lives we lead. Our stories are marbled into their marrow.Drawing upon her years of research and a wealth of remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it.Some of this information is easily understood, some holds its secrets tight and needs scientific cajoling to be released. But by carefully piecing together the evidence, the facts of a life can be rebuilt.Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind.Praise for Sue Black: Sue Black has a rare ability to make blood and bones come alive. A marvellous writer. Ruth Davidson, SMP The corpse whisperer ... Is it okay for Black, or us, to enjoy this quite so much?

The first new translation in over a century of the the brilliant epic novel that inspired Les MisérablesFrom July 1842 through October 1843, Parisians rushed to the newspaper each week for the latest installment of Eugène Sue s The Mysteries of Paris, one of France s first serial novels. The suspenseful story of Rodolphe, a magnetic hero of noble heart and shadowy origins, played out over ninety issues, garnering wild popularity and leading many to call it the most widely read novel of the 19th century. Sue s novel created the city mystery genre and inspired a raft of successors, including Les Misérables and The Count of Monte Cristo.The intricate melodrama of The Mysteries of Paris unfolds around a Paris where the fortunes of the rich and the poor are helplessly tangled, despite the vast gulf between them. In the Cité, a seedy neighborhood where criminals gather, Rodolphe encounters a young prostitute of breathtaking purity who goes by the name Songbird. He saves her from an attack by a ruffian called the Slasher, setting off the dominoes of an epic narrative traversing the ranks of French society. As Rodolphe pursues his own mysterious quest for redemption, a circle of characters from all walks of life forms around him-some following his every move and others gravitating to his boundless generosity. From the nefarious pairing of the Schoolmaster and the Owl, a hardened criminal and an unfathomably cruel street merchant, to Morel, a gem-cutter so virtuous he refuses to steal even the smallest ruby to feed his starving family, the lines between good and evil in Sue s Paris are always clear, but never unyielding. Though the immense literary and historical resonance of Sue s magnum opus has been for years overshadowed by Hugo s achievement, this stunning new translation is a revelation, promising to bring the unmitigated pleasures of Sue s cliffhangers and criminals to a new century of readers. Sensational, steamy, tightly-plotted, pulpy, proto-socialist, heartbreaking, and riveting, The Mysteries of Paris is doubtless one of the most entertaining and influential works to emerge from the 19th century.

As a Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology, she focuses on mortal remains in her lab, at burial sites, at scenes of violence, murder and criminal dismemberment, and when investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident or natural disaster. In All That Remains she reveals the many faces of death she has come to know, using key cases to explore how forensic science has developed, and examining what her life and work has taught her.Do we expect a book about death to be sad? Macabre? Sue s book is neither. There is tragedy, but there is also humour in stories as gripping as the best crime novel. Part memoir, part science, part meditation on death, her book is compassionate, surprisingly funny, and it will make you think about death in a new light.________ SUE BLACK S NEW BOOK, WRITTEN IN BONE, IS OUT NOW _________ One might expect [this book] to be a grim read but it absolutely isn t. I found it invigorating! (Andrew Marr, BBC Radio 4 Start the Week ) Black s utterly gripping account of her life and career as a professor of anatomy and forensic anthropology manages to be surprisingly life-affirming. As she herself says, it is as much about life as about death (PD Smith Guardian) An engrossing memoir .. . an affecting mix of personal and professional (Erica Wagner, Financial Times) A model of how to write about the effect of human evil without losing either objectivity or sensitivity .. . Heartening and anything but morbid .. . Leaves you thinking about what kind of human qualities you value, what kinds of people you actually want to be with (Rowan Williams, New Statesman) For someone whose job is identifying corpses, Sue Black is a cheerful soul .. . All That Remains feels like every episode of Silent Witness , pre-fictionalised.Except, you know, really good (Helen Rumbelow, The Times)

Píše se rok 1939. Spojené státy se stále ještě zcela nevzpamatovaly z následků první světové války a Velké hospodářské krize a na obzoru se již stahují mračna hrozby nové války, neboť fašismus nabírá na síle i v nejtemnějších zákoutích Ameriky. I Gotham se zmítá v hospodářsko-společenském chaosu, ke kterému ještě přispívá náhlý nárůst násilné kriminality. Policejní komisař Gordon má plné ruce práce s vlnou brutálních vražd čelných představitelů města. Do toho všeho se objevuje tajemný strážce Bat-Man, který komisaři nabízí pomocnou ruku. Veškeré důkazy v rámci vyšetřování vražd popírají logiku – všichni pachatelé totiž zemřeli na elektrickém křesle. Když se však Bat-Man ocitne tváří v tvář jedné z těchto hrůzných anomálií, stěží unikne se zdravou kůží – což vrhá stín pochybností na jeho schopnost přežít ve světě, který se kolem něj brutálně vyvíjí! Tato kniha přináší zajímavý pohled na slavného hrdinu v samých začátcích jeho kariéry, kdy se stále ještě učí nejen to, jak se vypořádat s pestrou škálou zločinců, ale také jak si vybírat spojence a komu důvěřovat, aby v pochmurném prostředí gothamského podsvětí vůbec přežil. Dva z nejlepších komiksových vypravěčů, legendární scenárista Dan Jurgens (Superman, Action Comics) a výtvarník Mike Perkins (The Swamp Thing, Action Comics), spojili své síly, aby napsali strhující příběh zasazený do časů prvních dobrodružství Temného rytíře!

What would happen if society was run by women? Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines the result...When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere. How could these women survive without man s knowledge, experience and strength, not to mention reproductive power? In fact, what they have found is a civilisation free from disease, poverty and the weight of tradition. All alone, the women have created a society of calm and prosperity, a feminist utopia that dares to threaten the very concept of male superiority. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LINDY WEST
