Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Why does the modern economy consist of two tracks: a fast one for the super-rich and a stalled one for everyone else? What decisions led to this split three decades ago, and were their goals realised? What is the cost of a two-track economy? Have the real solutions to the 2008-9 crisis been missed? This ground-breaking book, based on years of research, seeks to answer these questions and provide the hard evidence: - for the economic case for dismantling the economy for the super-rich; - that deregulation failed to deliver innovation and economic revival; - for new policies that avoid the looming permanent recession. At a time when top investors such as Warren Buffett call for an end to the coddling of billionaires, this urgent, provocative book provides a radical new way of thinking for ending the economic deadlock.

Paperback. Condition: 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. Condition: Very Good. What was Nancy Mitford's wicked sense of humour really like? The writer and poet Harold Acton was - like Nancy Mitford herself - one of the Bright Young Things and a life-long close friend with whom she stayed in touch from Paris and London. From the letters and materials she had been gathering for her autobiography, Acton draws an irresistibly sparkling portrait of the author of "Love in a Cold Climate" and "The Pursuit of Love", who was so unhappy in love herself. Full of her waspish wit, gossip, and the drops of acid she liked to pour on the pretensions of her time, he paints a fresh portrait that is unlikely to be surpassed.

Paperback. Condition: 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. Condition: Very Good. First-ever English publication of the Egyptian diaries of the man who, against the odds, broke the code of the hieroglyphs. Seen as mystical codes, Egyptian hieroglyphs were the subject of a hard-fought race between the French and the English in the 1820s. Outflanking opponents, Champollion emerged as the man who solved their complicated code through his driven genius. In this lively account of brilliance and perseverance, he succeeds against the odds to reach Egypt in 1828 during a brief lull in the Turkish wars in the Mediterranean. A unique and passionate tale, his adventure was troubled by heat, flooding, robbers and deceitful dealers; yet he also uncovers evidence regarding the age of the world, then thought to be no more than 4000 years. These dispatches of his progress to his brother, a journalist, were impatiently read in Europe at the time, but have never been published in Britain.

Paperback. Condition: 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. Condition: Very Good. How could a moment of triumph about the Olympic Bid turn into a catastrophe? These terrible events follow on the continuing revelations that the intelligence reports that were the government's basis for the invasion of Iraq were deeply flawed and the recent admission by the Ministry of Defence that it failed to foresee the size and ferocity of the Iraq insurgency. Something is very wrong in how Britain collects and analyses intelligence. In "7-7: What Went Wrong?", Crispin Black shows that fundamental flaws in our current approach to calibrating and understanding the terrorist threat - an unwillingness for instance to take on board the effects of our foreign policy on loyalty at home and a generally slack approach to border security have produced a toxic threat to national security. Taken all together there is the uncomfortable suspicion that instead of gathering intelligence, their aim is to please their masters. In his compelling and authoritative analysis, Black shows the cumulative threats that have amassed over the years through the slow reactions of our intelligence and security services - despite for instance the repeated warnings of the French and more recent warnings from the Middle East and the United States. He makes suggestions for reform. 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. Condition: Very Good. Diaries of Nansen's lunatic three-year long expedition to the North Pole, which made him the John Krakauer of his age. In 1893 Fridtjof Nansen set sail for the North Pole in the Fram, a ship specially designed to be frozen into the polar ice cap, withstand its crushing pressures, and so drift North. Experts said that such a mission was tantamount to suicide. This is the stirring first-person account of this historic voyage. Nansen tells of his expedition's struggle against snowdrifts, ice floes, polar bears, scurvy, gnawing hunger, and the seemingly endless polar night that transformed the Fram into a "cold prison of loneliness." Setting out in the end on a harrowing fifteen-month sledge journey to reach his destination by foot, he was required them to share a sleeping bag of rotting reindeer fur and to feed the weaker sled dogs to the stronger ones. Given up for dead, he traveled 146 miles farther north than anyone else in the past four hundred years. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Ghislaine Maxwell's life of privilege was unimaginable. Her jetset world was not only made up of Presidents, top billionaires, Hollywood stars, Kennedys and Rockefellers, but also of princes, princesses, dukes and duchesses, all as regular friends - including university friend Prince Andrew, the favorite son of the Queen of England. Yet she still wanted more. Ghislaine met shadowy billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and amassed a fortune of almost $30 million over the course of their friendship. Her arrest by the FBI in July 2020 - almost a year to the day of Epstein's second arrest on sex charges - proved a stinging fall from grace as $30 million bail was refused. GHISLAINE MAXWELL leaves no stone unturned and is the first investigation based on all new sources available. An explosive true story, GHISLAINE MAXWELL is a riveting tale of wealth, power and the almost impervious Teflon power surrounding America's richest citizens.
