Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Marlon Brando was one of the most private celebrities in modern times, who only stepped into the lime light to promote a new film or causes close to his heart. While several books exist based on such material, there has never been a personal biography with a first-hand view of the inner sanctum such as George Englund's The Naked Brando. Having been repeatedly urged to write by Brando himself (as he had been given his first Hollywood break by Brando), Englund started this memoir in earnest a few months before Brando died on 1 July 2004 in order to capture the real Brando behind the star. Looking back in time, Brando writes down his incisive recollections from when he befriended the young Marlon when he was on the cusp of his meteoric rise in 1954 and from then on became a close confidant for almost fifty years from whom Brando sought frank advice. Englund draws on stories from Jackie Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe that only he and Brando knew. But he also shows how the seeds of decline and suspicion were there from the start. From the recollections a young actor emerges who was beautiful in every way - driven by his instinctive talent to break new ground, athletic, muscular, seductive, intelligent and generous - yet also hugely self-destructive. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Like many people Carla McKay thought that yoga was for health nuts only. Things changed, however, when a friend persuaded her to give it try for a laugh. She did laugh - throughout the class. But the practice was also different from what she had expected. In The Reluctant Yogi she describes how she got hooked over time, and asks experts what yoga does for us. She discovered that research shows yoga has something for everyone of every shape and size, young to old: it will tone your body, calm your mind, make you sleep better, strengthen your bones, boost your immune system and even make you lose weight. Learning her asanas from her pranayama, Carla finds along the way how you, too, can change your life with yoga. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. This is a new chapter by George Walden to bring the phenomenon up to date. This is an explosive new book, "Time to Emigrate?" by author George Walden. Why are those who are neither rich nor underprivileged no longer heard in Britain? The idea for "Time to Emigrate?" first came about when one of George Walden' sons asked him whether he should emigrate. He set about writing down a few of his thoughts in a letter. The notes grew and grew. When Walden discovered that many of his son's generation were considering the same question he decided to use his notes for a book, "Time to Emigrate?" an exceptionally provocative book that will be furiously debated in the media as he attacks the onslaught of multiculturalism. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In order to thrive we all need a home where we can safely be ourselves. The pressures of the new century, however, make such a refuge increasingly rare. Angela Neustatter uncovers the ways in which people create a home for their heart in very different circumstances. What mindset works best? Does it matter how a home is divided up? Why are some homes living hells? Her investigation spans from her own family to the Australian estate of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch to a crumbling tower-block in London; from a lesbian house share in a small town Texas to an eco-village in Wales. Our homes can again become a cure for happiness, if we find a new way of looking at what we have. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. One recent president was exactly like the young Trump, except that - unlike Donald - he also got drunk and danced naked. A president from Hollywood acted like Harvey Weinstein. Two presidents turned the White-House secretary pool into their private harem. Secretaries nick-named Fiddle and Faddle were given drugs and amyl nitrate to test by a president and their job was merely to accompany him on presidential trips. More than one president was an exhibitionist and many early presidents met up with prostitutes and were besotted with younger women. And those are just some of the scandals.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Rarely is the impenetrable barrier that surrounds the super rich and their rarified business breached beyond the protection of their lawyers. Christopher Mason realised the sudden prospect of change when in 1997 it was announced during the charity sale of dresses by Diana, Princess of Wales, that Sotheby's and Christie's were being investigated in Britain and the US. The secretive customs of these venerable English institutions and their society were to be examined against the bright light of public interest. Brilliantly reported, Christopher Mason tells for the first time the full story of the scandal that relieved many of the world's aristocrats and plutocrats of hundreds of millions, and sent one of the world's billionaires to gaol. His story is peopled with a Trollopian array of titles, as well as larger-than-life-characters such as shoe-salesman turned tycoon Al Taubman. Based on court materials and extensive meetings with 400 participants in over 2400 interviews, Christopher Mason investigates what really happened behind the thin veneer of respectability. He persuaded key players to speak frankly for the first time. Full of new revelations, such as the fact that the antecedents of the scandal lay in 1975, Lords and Liars weaves all the contradictory statements into an unforgettable narrative - a riveting portrait of class, ambition, excess, and Old Etonians behaving badly.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The concepts masculine and feminine may have undergone steady erosion since the heyday of he-man Tarzan. Yet Tarzan was able to walk around in a mini-skirt and men who have dared to do so after him, or dress with a sense of fashion, continue to attract attention as closet-homosexuals. Abhorring this confusion, George Walden has written a book on dandyism which he argues is a deeply-rooted and a uniquely English phenomenon. Using the celebrated life-portrait of the dying Beau Brummell by Jules Barbey (included at the end of the book), he shows in this text who are today's supreme dandies and who its fops, in a way that is bound to cause controversy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Listening to politicians, one would think that the mechanism of capitalism has failed. They tell us that the solutions lie in their hands: more debt, banking-regulation, and 'oversight'. But are they telling us everything they know? The Economics of Success makes for uncomfortable reading for politicians who like to lull people into a false sense of security, and for regulators who like to please their political masters. It focuses on twelve truths on which the success of our economic system is based. Our government likes to lecture developing nations on the cornerstones of prosperity, but appears ignorant when talking to its own electorate. Here the misleading spin is exposed incisively with up-to-date facts and figures. In addition real economic solutions are put forward - showing how we, too, can benefit from the world's rising tide of prosperity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Melanie Phillips' controversial and best-selling book predicted further attacks by British citizens, was published a month and a half before the arrests of 10 August. While public debate is being stifled for various reasons explained in her book - which itself was turned down for three years by publishers in Britain - Londonistan has proved that there is a massive demand from the public who want to understand what is happening to Britain and why ostensibly well-balanced and well-integrated citizens are turning on their country. In this fully updated edition, she argues that despite 9/11, despite 7/7, despite 10/8 the British Establishment is still refusing to act and curb the mechanisms, people and influences that spawn extremism. In addition, following the revelation that a woman was involved in the prevented 10/8 suicide attacks, she looks at the role of women in British terrorism and how women are not doing enough to help fight home-grown terrorism.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. More than half a century ago, George Orwell wrote an essay about the decline of the English murder. Since the 1990s, Theodore Dalrymple has witnessed its modern variety in real life. For over a quarter of a century he has treated and examined many more murderers than most as a prison doctor, psychiatrist, and court expert in some of Britain's most deprived areas. Here, he delves deep into his life of personal encounters with the murderous underclass to determine what has changed overtime and what has not. Inimitably, his unique portrait of modern criminals is at the same time a parable of dysfunction in our own culture. Through his experiences, he exposes today's vicious cult of denial, blaming and psychobabble that hides behind a corrosive sentiment of caring. Illustrated with scores of eye-opening, true-life vignettes, The Knife Went In is in turn hilariously funny, chillingly horrifying, and always unexpectedly revealing. Taken together, this lifetime of experience is a clear and unsentimental mirror in which we view modern progress without its varnish. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. We think of the Greeks and Romans as crucially important to the modern world, while we romantically see the Celts as a people living on the fringes in Ireland, Wales, Cornwall Scotland and France, faced with extinction. In this extraordinary new book, acclaimed historian Simon Young overhauls that preconception. "The Celtic Revolution" shows how the Celtic Empire ruled the world from Spain to Egypt for two thousand years in a way that drew the blue print for today's Europe. As modern life is inconceivable without their achievements, Simon Young's masterly book will enthrall the readers who enjoy the works of Norman Davies and Andrew Marr.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. What do older women want? And older than what, anyway? Love, flattery, an end to baby-sitting, a night out without falling asleep in the soup? Or the very last chance of gratifying desire, of finding a soul-mate, even if it means paying over the odds.? It's awful, really to admit to some of the stupid things we do."Confessions of a Sugar Mummy" provides the (frequently hilarious) answer to the most pressing questions for women who have reached A Certain Age: Am I past it? Am I invisible, and if so what can I do about it? And why is the pursuit of happiness an acceptable goal for all members of the human race except Old Bags? Money, as so often, turns out to be the solution. And when a sixty-something with frankly limited prospects, finds her London flat is worth a fortune, she jumps at the chance of entering the world of property with the glamorous younger Frenchman, Alain. Until, to her horror, she realises she can't turn back, until the final question is answered: Can Money Buy Me Love? "Confessions of a Sugar Mummy" provides laughs and a few tears - all the way to the Bank. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. From his position as BBC Europe correspondent, Angus Roxburgh lays bare the reason why Europe has become once again a fertile breeding ground for the Far Right through first-hand interviews with its supporters and leaders. He argues that we should be on high alert regarding the influence of radical thought, intolerance and charismatic leadership on ordinary politics. Since 1998 one by one the left-wing governments of Europe have been toppled by miscalulating the severity of the problems that face them. Deaf to the concerns of many of the traditionally left-wing voters, the entire spectrum of European political classes remain incapable of dealing with the strong domestic undercurrents surfacing in the aftermath of the events of September 2001.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When London was hit by British suicide bombers, the secret was finally out. Under the noses of the British government, parliament, intelligence services and police, Britain has become the European hub for the promotion, recruitment and financing of Islamist terror and extremism. Terrorists have used it to plot, finance, recruit and train for atrocities throughout the world, and now also at home. Such is the scale of these operations that Britain is referred to as 'Londonistan' by anti-terrorist specialists abroad. How could this happen? In this ground-breaking analysis, Melanie Phillips interviews key politicians, Muslims, academics and intelligence experts. She uncovers a persistent state of denial by the British establishment both on the left and right. In universities, the historical context of Islamitic texts is no longer taught. 'Londonistan' has become a country within the country that is growing in strength. Its radical demands are being appeased by multiculturalism rather than challenged by common sense. Melanie Phillips compellingly argues that Britain should face up to the threat to its way of life. The picture she paints of modern Britain is a forceful warning not to subscribe to the false causes of religious radicalism that have misled us so far.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In "Dying to Win Robert", Pape presents the findings of the first comprehensive database of every suicide terrorist attack in the world from 1980 until today. Discrediting widely-held misconceptions on suicide terrorism, he creates for the first time a clear psychological, sociological and strategic profile for combating suicide attacks. His thesis - initially based on the 354 attacks throughout the world up to 2003 - has been remarkably born out by the ones that have followed (the 192 attacks from 2004 up to May 2006 are included in Dying to Win). Pape also examines the early practitioners of this guerrilla tactic, including the ancient Jewish Zealots, who in A.D. 66 wished to liberate themselves from Roman occupation; the Ismaili Assassins, a Shi'ite Muslim sect in northern Iran in the eleventh and twelfth centuries; World War II's Japanese kamikaze pilots, three thousand of whom crashed into U.S. naval vessels; and, the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, a secular, Marxist-Leninist organization responsible for more suicide terrorist attacks than any other group in history.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Writer Theodore Dalrymple drove the four hundred miles from Glasgow to London recently, and found practically every yard of roadside to be littered with rubbish flapping in the wind like Buddhist prayer flags, which prompted him to write this heart-felt polemic about modern Britain. What does it mean when a country tips its rubbish anywhere it likes? At the very least, it suggests that a modern Englishman's street has become his dining room.This short, brief book, then, sifts through the excesses of Britain's public 'dining room' and analyses what litter says about our brave new world. Have we become barbarians? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
