No Place for a Woman

In 1964, at the age of 19, Marie Christine D'Albiac married John Ridgway, a penniless paratroop officer with a passion for adventure. Two years later he embarked on one of his most dramatic exploits by rowing across the Atlantic with Chay Blyth. This inspired the Ridgways to set up on their own, at Ardmore in the remotest Highland regions, a school of adventure which has become known around the world.In this harsh environment, Marie Christine has learned survival the hard way. Over the years her workload has been consistently enormous, a prodigious daily grind involving the administration of the school, cooking all the meals for up to 30 people every day, running the salmon-smoking business and the shop at Ardmore, as well as being the full-time wife of a formidable, hard-driving but vulnerable man. In recent years Marie Christine has accompanied John on a number of his tough, dangerous and always demanding adventures overseas. On one of these they decided to adopt Elizabeth Berg Huaman, a girl from the Peruvian jungle, whose murdered father was a friend. The story of this adventure was told in John Ridgway's book "Road to Elizabeth". Now Marie Christine recounts the story of her life, her deepest feelings and aspirations as well as her adventures, with particular emphasis on her role as mother to a girl from a different world, whom she is working to integrate into her own family.

Fifty is not a four letter word

As Hope Lyndhurst-Steele approaches her 50th birthday, although she “has it all”–top magazine job, wonderful husband, loving son, many friends–fifty still feels like a four-letter word.

But she doesn’t know just how low she can go.When she returns to the office after her holiday break, she’s informed by senior management that the “having it all” woman is OUT–and Hope’s out along with her. As she starts spending her days at home, her relationship with her usually patient husband Jack starts to become strained, and her teenage son is more interested in chasing after the local trashy single mom than spending his last year at home with his own mother.

And Hope’s own mother, who she never got along with, has cheerily announced that she’s got six months left to live. Hope is relieved when a solo trip to Paris wakes up her long-dormant libido, but when she returns, she finds that her husband is giving her more space than she’d like–he’s moved out.

As Hope wonders if she’ll be able to make it to fifty-one with her sanity and her family intact, she discovers some interesting truths about herself and her age–and even if 50 is not the new 30, it could be that the best is yet to come.

The Badge

There has been no other epoch in American history where corruption, debauchery, sleaze and horrific murder has intersected with a society as speciously glittering and innocent as the Los Angeles of the 1940s and 50s. The Tinseltown of that age had movie star glamour on the surface but a dark, violent and unrepentant heart. None knew this dichotomy better than the Los Angeles Police Department, whose story became the most successful police drama in television history, Dragnet. Jack Webb was the star and creator of the show, but much of what he unearthed was too sensational to be broadcast on prime time. Those stories he saved for his classic, The Badge. Crimes like the sex slaying of Betty Short, the Black Dahlia: tortured for days, drained of blood, cut in two and dumped in Leimert Park, the subject of James Ellroy's masterpiece and one of the US's greatest unsolved murders. Narcotics, gambling, prostitution, thrill murders, serial killers -- all take their place in a book that shattered America's delusion of post-war innocence and defines our knowledge of modern crime even today. The Badge comes with an introduction by master of crime noir, James Ellroy.

True Brits

When J. R. Daeschner first heard about 'shin kicking' he was intrigued. As an American who had lived in Britain for some time, he thought he knew a thing or two about the country. But he'd never come across this centuries- old 'sport', which had to be one of the most painful and infuriating ever invented. J. R. had to find out more, and soon discovered that Britain has dozens, if not hundreds, of similar acts of lunacy enshrined as traditions; strange-named events such as cheese rolling, gurning, bog snorkelling- TRUE BRITS is a funny and fascinating trek around Britain, following J. R. as he meets some of the great British eccentrics who involve themselves in a host of bizarre pastimes which include hurling themselves down a grassy cliff in pursuit of a cheese, coating themselves in prickly green burrs, hanging toast on trees and prancing around with reindeer antlers on their heads. In an attempt to understand why seemingly ordinary people do such extraordinarily strange things, J. R. talks to countless characters, watches them in action, and even participates in many of the events himself- encountering plenty of occupational hazards along the way.

The Good German

Jake Geismar cut his teeth as a foreign correspondent in pre-war Berlin. When he returns in 1945 to cover the Potsdam conference he finds the city unrecognisable - streets have vanished beneath the rubble, familiar landmarks truncated by high explosive. But amongst the ruins Berliners survive, including some he knew and, miraculously, his lost love, Lena. But in the way she would not leave with him before the war, Lena won't join him now without finding her husband and Emil has disappeared from the safe care of the Americans who, turning a blind eye to his links with Hitler, want his expertise as a rocket designer for themselves.
