Tlumočnice Revelle strávila dětství cestováním po světě – a díky tomu dnes plynně mluví jedenácti jazyky. Překládá výpovědi svědků, obětí i obžalovaných na londýnských místech činu a v soudních síních. Je to stresující práce – i když ne tak stresující jako proces, kterým právě prochází: snaží se adoptovat malého chlapce Elliota. Je odhodlaná být mu takovou matkou, jakou sama nikdy neměla. Při práci na jednom případu, kde hrozí, že obžalovaný z vraždy unikne spravedlnosti, Revelle riskuje všechno – adopci i svou kariéru – a záměrně špatně přeloží jeho alibi, aby zajistila jeho odsouzení. Nikdo se nikdy nesmí dozvědět, že do případu zasáhla – jinak přijde o syna i o práci. Jenže někdo už ví, co udělala… a chce svou vlastní spravedlnost.

Fast-paced and eye-opening, Undercover Copper is an exciting account of life as a covert investigator by Danni Brooke.For over a decade, Danni Brooke was one of the most effective female undercover cops in the UK, one of a very small number of women in the Met’s elite unit. Whether she was infiltrating organized crime gangs or disrupting drug supply lines, Danni played the innocent Essex girl, fooling even the most suspicious villains, using her quick wits to keep her out of trouble.Danni was so successful at taking down criminals that she was seconded to forces around the country. She loved the job, but the pressures of her work – and trying to balance the long hours with being a mother – were to take a toll on her personal life.In her honest, warm and gripping memoir, Danni tells the story of her time undercover – and reveals why she left the police, how she found a new career (and love) on Channel 4’s Hunted, and why the thrill of covert work has seen her turn her talents to tracking down cyber criminals.What readers are saying about Danni Brooke''s unputdownable life story:''Absolutely brilliant read.

In 1659, a vast and unusual map of China arrived in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It was bequeathed by John Selden, a London business lawyer, political activist, former convict, MP and the city''s first Orientalist scholar. Largely ignored, it remained in the bowels of the library, until called up by an inquisitive reader. When Timothy Brook saw it in 2009, he realised that the Selden Map was ''a puzzle that had to be solved'': an exceptional artefact, so unsettlingly modern-looking it could almost be a forgery. But it was genuine, and what it has to tell us is astonishing. It shows China, not cut off from the world, but a participant in the embryonic networks of global trade that fuelled the rise of Europe - and which now power China''s ascent. And it raises as many question as it answers: how did John Selden acquire it? Where did it come from? Who re-imagined the world in this way? And most importantly - what can it tell us about the world at that time?Brook, like a cartographic detective, has provided answers - including a surprising last-minute revelation of authorship.

Drawing upon historical research and archaeological discoveries, Daphne Brooke brings to life the events and personalities of the ancient realm of Galloway from Roman times until the fifteenth century. This mysterious region of south-west Scotland has for centuries attracted pilgrims to its holy places, especially Whithorn, ever since St Ninian founded Candida Casa (now known as Whithorn) in the early Christian era. Galloway’s troubles began in Roman times, when the territory was occupied by Britons who had little in common with their northern neighbours, the Picts and the Scots. A few centuries later, the rulers of Northumbria held sway over Galloway, binding the two provinces in culture. But Galloway’s sense of identity was stronger than its recognition of shared interests. The region stubbornly resisted Anglo-Norman domination and assimilation into the Kingdom of Scotland.Oram’s new introduction appraises the significance of Wild Men and Holy Places in the new historiography of Scotland that emerged at the close of the twentieth century and its place in the radical revision of our understanding of conversion and state-building in the Early Historic and medieval eras. It explores how Brooke’s interdisciplinary approach to the poorly documented history of Galloway set a new benchmark for accessible history: ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A Bucket of Sunshine – a term coined by RAF aircrew for the nuclear bomb that their aircraft would be armed with - is a first-hand insight into life in the mid-1960s on a RAF Canberra nuclear-armed squadron in West Germany, on the frontline in the Cold War. The English-Electric Canberra was a first-generation jet-powered light bomber manufactured in large numbers in the 1950s. The Canberra B(I)8, low-level interdictor version was used by RAF Germany squadrons at the height of the Cold War.Mike Brooke describes not only the technical aspect of the aircraft and its nuclear and conventional roles and weapons, but also the low-level flying that went with the job of being ready to go to war at less than three minutes’ notice. Brooke tells his story warts and all, with many amusing overtones, in what was an extremely serious business when the world was standing on the brink of nuclear conflict.

Nostalghia recounts Brook Hsu’s 2022-2023 untitled site-specific exhibition at Sant’Andrea de Scaphis in Rome. Two years after the completion of the project, Hsu attempts to hold a sustained farewell to her artwork using a mixture of writing and photography. From Piero della Francesca, Blinky Palermo and Hsu’s childhood garden to Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jun’Ichiro Tanizaki’s toilet and a video store in Kansas City that’s going out of business, Nostalghia brings together an eclectic band of Hsu’s influences to tell a story of both loss and becoming. “In a moment when I thought that no greater companion would be my loneliness and my sadness, I am met with company. Not even I understood until it happened to me. In darkness, I sat smoking, letting my thoughts go. Against the night, a form was made a silhouette on a railing…” Making a quiet plea for the imagination, Nostalghia carries a sense across its pages that sometimes the parts that make up a whole are not always as linear as they might appear. Included within the monograph are photographs by Hsu, Alessandro Cicoria, Valeria Giampetro and David Regen.

'A raging wave, mountain-like, came rowling a-stern of us...we were all swallowed up in a moment.The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first encounters another human being and fights off cannibals and mutineers. With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man' or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.This edition contains a full chronology of Defoe's life and times, explanatory notes, glossary and a critical introduction discussing Robinson Crusoe as a pioneering work of modern psychological realism.
