SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE

Fraud is the British white collar crime and it has a long and dishonourable history in Britain. Business fraud was estimated at 3.3 billion pounds in 1995 and to combat the sophistication of frequently intelligent and ingenious fraudsters, the Serious Fraud Office was set up in April 1988 to handle frauds involving more than five million pounds. Since then, a long list of high-profile failures (or at the very least, strategic blunders) has called the purpose of the SFO into question. This account of the first six years of the SFO will do little to enhance its reputation. The new edition has been updated to include the role of the SFO in the trial of the Maxwell brothers.

Railway Man, The

Winnre of the NCR Book Award

A naive young man, a railway enthusiast and radio buff, was caught up in the fall of the British Empire at Singapore in 1942. He was put to work on the 'Railway of Death' - the Japanese line from Thailand to Burma. Exhaustively and brutally tortured by the Japanese for making a crude radio, Lomax was emotionally ruined by his experiences. Almost 50 years after the war, however, his life was changed by the discovery that his interrogator, the Japanese interpreter, was still alive - their reconciliation is the culmination of this extraordinary story.

Author Profile

The Plan

The Plan offers a bold vision of what America can be. It shows the way for both parties to move beyond the old political arguments and make progress for the American people. And it offers an innovative agenda for America - with ideas that address the nation’s most pressing challenges by doing more for Americans and asking Americans to do more for their country in return. Each of these ideas offers a clean break with the status quo, yet all are positive, practical, and can be put into action right away. Built on the authors’ firm beliefs that politicians owe the people real answers, that citizenship is a responsibility, not an entitlement program, and that the Democratic Party succeeds when America succeeds, the highly anticipated Plan delivers, challenges, and inspires.

Rock Me Gently

In the 1950s, shortly after her father's death, Judith Kelly was left in the care of nuns at a Catholic orphanage while her mother searched for a place for them to live. She was eight years old. Far from being cared for, Judith found herself in a savage and terrifying institution where physical, emotional, and sexual abuse was the daily norm and the children's lives were reduced to stark survival. As the months became years and no word came from her mother, she sought comfort instead from the girls around her, and especially the bright, angel-voiced Frances, who seemed miraculously untouched by the nuns' persecution and the abject misery surrounding her. When a tragic accident robbed Judith of her dearest friend, the traumatic memories of the event were to trouble her deeply, long into her adult life. Years later, at a kibbutz in Israel, Judith met and befriended an elderly Holocaust survivor. It was a friendship that began with an instinctive recognition of the fear and suffering each had experienced, and one that would begin an emotional journey culminating in Judith's return to the Nazareth House orphanage to confront her memories and to achieve some measure of peace. Updated and revised by the author to confront her critics, this astonishing, moving, and deeply shocking memoir resonates in the mind long after the final page.

The Hite report

A reproduction of the classic text, unavailable now for more than a decade, with a new introduction by the author. The Hite Report, first published in 1976, was a sexual revolution in six hundred pages. To answer sensitive questions dealing with the most intimate details of women's sexuality, Hite's innovation was simple: she asked women, a lot of them, everything--and published the results.One hundred thousand women, ages fourteen to seventy-eight, were asked what they do and don't like about sex; how orgasm really feels, with and without intercourse;how it feels not to have an orgasm during sex; the importance of clitoral stimulation and masturbation; and to name the greatest pleasures and frustrations of their sexual lives, among many other questions.The Hite Report declares that orgasm is easy and strong for women, given the right stimulation; that most women have orgasm most easily during masturbation or clitoral stimulation by hand; that sex as we define it is a cultural institution, not a biological one; and that attitudes must change to include the stimulation women desire.

The Last Governor: Chris Patten and the Handover of Hong Kong

Using unrivalled access to Chris Patten, Britain's last governor of Hong Kong, Jonathan Dimbleby provides a compelling narrative of a great political and human drama: the final chapter in Britain's colonial history, the five years leading up to the handover of Hong Kong and its five million people to Communist China on July 1, 1997. Since 1992 Dimbleby had privileged access to Patten, and to key diplomats, politicians, and business leaders in Hong Kong, as he developed both this book and a five-part BBC TV series, which was shown on TVOntario. He sets the crisis--with its many consequences for Canada and the rest of the world--against 150 years of Anglo-Chinese relationships since the Opium Wars and the seizure of Hong Kong. He also provides a panoramic portrait of colonial rule and of the shining capitalist "jewel" itself, using the voices of its people--from the richest entrepreneur to the poorest refugee. The Last Governor is one of those rare and exciting books that captures history in the making.

The Blair Effect

In The Blair Effect, Arthur Seldon has brought together a group of academics and journalists to produce the best book on the Blair government we are likely to get this side of the general election. In an unprecedented period of news management and spin doctoring, they knock the shine off the ball and tell it how it how it really has been. There is no disinformation to deal with here, but instead deft and analytical dealing with all the reverse swing--the 28 experts in their own fields cut through the political cackle and objectively lay down the effects of Blair's first four years. They are by no means hostile. The contributors coolly and conscientiously analyse what Blair and his ministerial colleagues have achieved. No Labour government in history, as Seldon points out, has come to power with so many initial advantages. Seldon is especially instructive in his overview, synthesising the arguments in two revealing tables on the net effects and the quality of the government work, but it is invidious to particularise on a book which is so full of astute observations and reflections. All of his contributors have important points to make across the whole spectrum of politics and the workings of Whitehall. Anyone seriously interested in politics, whatever their persuasion, should put it at the top of their reading list.-- Michael Hatfield

I Said It My Way Dict Misquotations

From the author of the best-selling "Guinness Dictionary of Poisonous Quotes", comes a unique collection of intentional and often witty reworkings of hundreds of well-known sayings, catchphrases and quotations. Taking as its inspiration Dorothy Parker's celebrated deliberate misquotation "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think", "The Guinness Dictionary of Misquotations" cites an original quotation and follows it with a chronological list of sometimes irreverent modifications. Thus Seneca's well-known "All art is an imitation of nature" is followed by Cervantes' lesser-known version "Good painters imitate nature. Bad ones vomit it", together with other amusing and scurrilous variants. Here, too, are some unusual versions of some classic quotes. "Gentlemen prefer blondes" becomes "Genitals prefer blondes" and "Gentlemen prefer blondes because they get dirty quicker". "The Guinness Dictionary of Misquotations" also traces some well-known sayings to an unexpected source. For instance, Shakespeare's oft-quoted "All the world's a stage..." from "As You Like It" is predated by over a thousand years by Palladas' "All life is a stage and a play, so learn to play your part". The book will also feature a number of thematic spreads looking at what writers and graffitti artists have done with advertising slogans and film titles. The famous "polo mint" slogan, "the mint with the hole" resurfaced in somewhat amended form as "the hole with the mint..." to describe the Welsh village of Llantrisant, where the Royal Mint relocated in the 1980s. "The Guinness Dictionary of Misquotations" provides a useful source of unusual and rarely anthologised quotations for speechwriters, broadcasters and journalists. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history and development of some of the world's most famous sayings and to anyone who revels in verbal dexterity and imaginative and playful use of language.

Who Runs Britain?

"On 13 September 2007, Robert Peston broke the news that Northern Rock had become a victim of the global credit crunch and was seeking an emergency loan from the Bank of England. It was the latest in a long line of scoops by this award-winning journalist. Over the weeks that followed, the Government found itself exposed to the Rock to the tune of 57 billion or almost [pound]2000 for every taxpayer." "Britain woke up to a new reality about the risks of globalisation: issues normally discussed on the business pages of broadsheet newspapers suddenly became front page tabloid news. Not understanding the way international business and money markets affect us right now feels as irresponsible as leaving our front doors open at night." "As Robert Peston shows in his new book, the seeds for the collapse of Northern Rock and the upheavals in the financial markets were sown years before. Who Runs Britain? is the first time anyone has drawn all the threads together to weave a story that's rich in extraordinary characters and outrageous feats of economic bravado. We meet chief executives, hedge fund managers, entrepreneurs, private equity partners, politicians and civil servants, all of whom have talked exclusively to Peston for this book." "The book is about the widening gap between the super-rich and the rest of us. It explores - and explodes - the myth that the financial creativity of those who are amassing these vast fortunes is good for the wider economy and for all of us. It examines how and why the main political parties are in thrall to the putative giants of wealth-creation."--BOOK JACKET.

The Kid

Kevin Lewis grew up on a council estate in South London. Beaten and starved by his parents, ignored by the social services and bullied at school, he was offered a chance to escape this nightmare world and was put into care. Despite all his best efforts to make things work out, his life spiralled out of control. At the age of 17, not able to make a proper living, he became caught up in the criminal underworld of London, where he was known as "The Kid". From the violent anger he suffered at the hands of his mother and father, to the continuous torments at school; from the way in which he coped with rejection from people he trusted, to suffering from bulimia and a wish to take his own life, Kevin tells the story of how he has managed to make a better life for himself.

Nathaniel's Nutmeg

In 1616, an English adventurer, Nathaniel Courthope, stepped ashore on a remote island in the East Indies on a secret mission - to persuade the islanders of Run to grant a monopoly to England over their nutmeg, a fabulously valuable spice in Europe. This infuriated the Dutch, who were determined to control the world's nutmeg supply. For five years Courthope and his band of thirty men were besieged by a force one hundred times greater - and his heroism set in motion the events that led to the founding of the greatest city on earth. A beautifully told adventure story and a fascinating depiction of exploration in the seventeenth century, NATHANIEL'S NUTMEG sheds a remarkable light on history.
