Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When the Shepards' car breaks down in pre-War New York City, a chain of events is set in motion that will transform the lives of the beautiful but stupid Evan Shepard, his doomed lover Rachel, and both their families. Fated to play out the mistakes of their parents, Evan and Rachel quickly discover the betrayal behind the dream, and desperately try every avenue of escape, only to find that all paths lead back to the small Long Island coastal town of Cold Spring Harbor, and to each other. But if there is no better chronicler than Yates of the quiet tragedy of thwarted suburban lives, Cold Spring Harbor is a testament to the absolute necessity of dreaming; for Yates's protagonists, hope may be all there is.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "We want you to get up the arse of the White House and stay there." Blair aid Jonathan Powell to incumbent US Ambassador Christopher Meyer in 2001 Bestselling journalist and writer Geoffrey Wheatcroft's timely and coruscating polemic argues that Tony Blair has signally failed in his principal responsibility to defend the interests of his country. Instead, by taking us to war on America's coattails, by reducing British foreign policy to the level of self-righteous soundbites and expensive foreign travel, and by chasing his childish infatuation with his own image as an international statesman, Tony Blair has doggedly pursued the interests of the United States whilst blatantly disregarding the warnings from his own experts and the demands and needs of his own people. "Yo, Blair!", the childish and slightly disdainful aside from Bush to Blair caught embarrassingly on microphone at the St. Petersburg summit served to underline the Prime Minister's pathetic subservience to the President. From the beginning Blair was 'a Prime Minister without a party', now he is in office but not in power, a lame duck Prime Minister, ineffectual, unloved and perceived by all, at home and abroad, as slightly sinister. Geoffrey Wheatcroft's extraordinary and immaculately structured attack picks apart the legacy and the unstoppable ego of the man who led Labour to three successive election victories, and shows how, through his relentless assaults on individual freedom and his eagerness to involve us in a needless, illegal and unpopular war on flagrantly false pretences, he has devalued Britain in the eyes of the world and reduced us to a client state of Washington.

Appleby, Steven (illustratore). 75th Anniversary edition of a top-selling humour classic The first date in English History is 55 B.C., in which year Julius Caesar (the memorable Roman Emperor) landed, like all other successful invaders of these islands, at Thanet.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. John Betjeman (1906-1984) was not only one of the best-loved Englishmen of the twentieth century, he was also the people's favourite poet and champion of many causes linked to the preservation of Britain's heritage. Whether those causes concerned buildings, bridges or railway branch lines, Betjeman was a feared adversary of bureaucratic excesses. This delightful little book is a celebration of his love of railways and rail travel. Ten letters selected by his daughter, Candida Lycett Green, each describe a journey that he made or that he planned to make or that he planned for a friend or relative. Jonathan Glancey has added his own words to each letter; words that set the scene, bring the letters to life, that describe Betjeman's moods - humorous, mischievous, brisk for business - and above all, remind us of the age of the steam locomotive in Britain and the many stations closed and track miles lost during the sixties and seventies.
