During the war, Gerald Hanley spent several years in the remote and scorching deserts of Somalia. The rigours of living in such heat, and the difficulties of attempting to control blood-feuding nomads, led to the suicide of seven fellow-officers. Despite these problems, Gerald Hanley writes with great affection for the local clans, an affection that is untainted by sentimentality. "Of all the races of Africa, there cannot be one better to live among than the most difficult, the proudest, the bravest, the vainest, the most merciless, the friendliest: the Somalis."

Lynsey Hanley was born and raised just outside of Birmingham on what was then the largest council estate in Europe, and she has lived for years on an estate in London's East End. Writing with passion, humour and a sense of history, she recounts the rise of social housing a century ago, its adoption as a fundamental right by leaders of the social welfare state in the mid-century and its decline - as both idea and reality - in the 1960s and '70s. Throughout, Hanley focuses on how shifting trends in urban planning and changing government policies - from Homes Fit for Heroes to Le Corbusier's concrete tower blocks, to the Right to Buy - affected those so often left out of the argument over council estates: the millions of people who live on them. What emerges is a vivid mix of memoir and social history, an engaging and illuminating book about a corner of society that the rest of Britain has left in the dark.

The extraordinary tale of Philip Augustus, one of medieval Europe’s greatest monarchs, and the part he played in the downfall of four Plantagenet kings of England.Philip II ruled France with an iron fist for over 40 years, expanding its borders and increasing its power. For his entire reign his counterpart on the English throne was a member of the Plantagenet dynasty, and Philip took on them all: Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, John and Henry III. And yet we know so little about medieval England’s greatest enemy. Historian Catherine Hanley, author of the critically acclaimed 1217, redresses this imbalance, bringing Philip out of the shadows in this fascinating new history. Delving into French medieval archives, Nemesis explores Philip’s motives for attacking England and in doing so we learn not only about him but discover so much more about England’s most colourful and controversial of rulers – the Plantagenets.When Philip first succeeded to the throne in 1180, Henry II of England, thanks to his Angevin and Norman ancestry as well as his wife’s inheritance of Aquitaine, ruled more of France than Philip himself. By the end of Philip’s reign in 1223, the pendulum of power had swung the other way. Nemesis ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A Sunday Times Book of the Week ''A thrilling episode from England’s medieval history.'' Dan Jones, The Sunday TimesAn engrossing history of the pivotal year when the future of England was secured.In 1215 King John had agreed to the terms of Magna Carta, but then reneged on his word, plunging the kingdom into war. Rebellious barons offered the throne to the French prince Louis and set off a chain of events that almost changed the course of English history.Louis arrived in May 1216, was proclaimed king in London, and by the autumn had half of England under his control. However, the choice of a French prince had enormous repercussions: now not merely an internal rebellion, but a war in which the defenders were battling to prevent a foreign takeover. John’s death in October 1216 left the throne in the hands of his 9-year-old son, Henry, and his regent, William Marshal, which changed the face of the war again, for now the king trying to fight off an invader was not a hated tyrant but an innocent child.1217 charts the nascent sense of national identity that began to swell.

Throughout the Middle East, Brooks was invited into the homes and lives of these women where she found real stories that overturn western stereotypes. Fair-minded and often revelatory, Nine Parts of Desire is an extraordinarily rich tapestry of the different lives women lead under Islam, and a captivating and diverse portrait of a little known world. This is reportage at its best.Geraldine Brooks is an award-winning author and journalist.

This memoir is full of humour, interspersed with some poignant and personal moments that encapsulate the life of a dentist and patients in a variety of situations.The perception that a visit to the dentist was something to be feared or at least endured, was an anathema to him. Gerald always wanted his patients to feel relaxed and at ease. Revealing the human side of dentistry, the care and compassion that dentists strive to achieve when treating their patients, Gerald hopes that this book may help to reduce the fear that many still have about a visit to the dentist’s chair.

Renomovaný vědec Gerald Hüther předkládá nejnovější a fascinující poznatky z oblasti neurobiologie do srozumitelné řeči a poukazuje na to, jaký konkrétní prospěch z těchto skutečností vyplývá pro život jeho čtenářů. V oblasti moderního zkoumání mozku byly učiněny průkopnické objevy. Pojem "plasticita lidského mozku" značí, že mozek je orgánem, který je schopen se po celý život měnit, obnovovat a přizpůsobovat. Dokonce ani masa mozkových buněk není, jak se dříve vědci domnívali, pevně daná, ale může se během života dokonce zvětšit. Podle nejnovějších vědeckých poznatků má způsob, jakým mozek používáme, rozhodující vliv na to, která nervová propojení v něm vzniknou a jak se později stabilizují nebo destabilizují. Potom se tedy vnitřní struktura mozku přizpůsobuje svému konkrétnímu použití. Je-li však mozek takový, jak jej používáme a doteď jsme používali, vzniká otázka, jak s ním pak musíme nakládat, abychom mohli odhalit všechny možnosti, které nám skýtá. Čtivou a obraznou řečí sleduje neurobiolog Gerald Hüther komplex těchto otázek a dostává se k poznáním, která otřásají dosavadním nazíráním na svět a která nás nutí, abychom převzali něco, co jsme doposud rádi přenechávali jiným instancím: zodpovědnost.

Audiokniha: Nejdřív zvířata, až potom zoo! Kniha vypráví o šestiměsíční cestě, kterou v roce 1957 podnikli Gerald Durrell s manželkou do západní Afriky, aby získali zvířata pro vlastní zoo. Kniha vypráví o šestiměsíční cestě, kterou v roce 1957 podnikli Gerald Durrell s manželkou do tehdejšího Britského Kamerunu, aby si, jak říká autor, nachytali vlastní zoologickou zahradu. Britský zoolog strávil mnoho let odchytem divokých a ohrožených zvířat pro jiná zoo, ale vždy mu přišlo líto, když se s nimi po měsících neumdlévající péče a starostí musel rozloučit. Tenhle problém se dal řešit jen jediným způsobem – zařídit si vlastní zoo. S vládcem stepního království Bafutu, s kterým ho pojilo dávné přátelství, přitom vypil nejednu sklenku whisky. Tedy slovy afrického krále: „Ať složí. Nasraví!“
