The Wonderful World of Linus Bailey existed, until recently, entirely within Linus' head. That was okay until the morning of his tenth birthday, when it all came true. Welsh coal miners singing in the garden, a camel, a headmaster who turned evil and a school that became a castle, these all became the backdrop to the much bigger question: Would Nigel Bailey, his Yorkshire Ninja dad arrive in time for his birthday, or would Linus be trapped down a mine for ever? Immerse yourself in the mind of a ten-year-old British schoolboy as he learns to cope with a brand new world.

In this remarkable collection, ten premier scholars of nineteenth-century America address the epochal impact of the Civil War by examining the conflict in terms of three Americas - antebellum, wartime, and postbellum nations. Moreover, they recognize the critical role in this transformative era of three groups of Americans - white northerners, white southerners, and African Americans in the North and South.

His powerful examples are throughout this program will inspire you.

Som barn drømte Jodie Bentley om to ting: at blive smuk og at blive rig. Med en hjælpende hånd fra plastikkirurgien har hun opnået det første, og hun arbejder nu hårdt på det andet. Hendes filosofi er enkel: Man kan enten tjene penge eller gifte sig til dem. Det er nemt nok at blive gift - den sande udfordring er at slippe af med manden igen bagefter. Men øvelse gør mester.

Ottende bind i den populære krimiserie med kriminalkommissær Roy Grace, der har solgt i alt 13 millioner eksemplarer på verdensplan. Det er ikke nok for megastjernen Gaia at være verdens største popstjerne. Nu vil hun også anerkendes som skuespiller, og hun har derfor sagt ja til at medvirke i en film om den britiske konge George IV og dennes elskerinde Maria Fitzherbert. Filmoptagelserne skal finde sted i Brighton på den engelske sydkyst og on location i det usædvanlige bygningsværk Royal Pavilion.

Englands krimikonge Peter James har modtaget den store publikumspris People’s Bestseller Dagger Award for Dødens håndlangere - en stærk nyhed i den populære Roy Grace-serie. En i forvejen dårlig morgen tager en katastrofal drejning for alenemoren Carly Chase, da hun involveres i et trafikuheld, hvor en ung universitetsstuderende mister livet. 14 dage senere opsøges Carly af kriminalkommissær Roy Grace, der fortæller hende, at førerne af de to andre biler i uheldet er fundet tortureret og myrdet. Han frygter, at hun meget vel kan blive det næste offer.

Det er nytår, og mens resten af Brighton fester, bliver en kvinde udsat for en grov voldtægt på et værelse på byens fine hotel Metropole. En uge senere bliver en anden kvinde i byen overfaldet, og noget kunne tyde på, at der er tale om samme gerningsmand - en mand med hang til dyre damesko. Kriminalkommissær Roy Grace ser straks, at den nye sag minder om sagen om Skomanden, der i 1997 begik en række voldtægter i Brighton og omegn. Kan det virkelig være den samme gerningsmand, der efter så mange år er vendt tilbage, eller er der tale om en copycat?

Den nat, Brian Bishop myrdede sin kone, lå han og sov sødt i en seng hundrede kilometer fra gerningsstedet. Det er det paradoks, der møder kriminalkommissær Roy Grace, da han bliver sat på opklaringen af mordet på den unge smukke Katie Bishop, der findes bundet til en seng i parrets hjem kun iført en gasmaske. Hvordan fanden kan det lade sig gøre? Har nogen stjålet Bishops identitet, eller er han bare en fremragende løgner.

Krimi. Det eneste vidne til et modbydeligt mord bliver sammen med sin familie udsat for dødstrusler, og deres dødsannoncer er allerede lagt ud på internettet. Det bliver derfor en kamp mod tiden for kriminalkommisær Grace at opklare forbrydelsen.

Idiom Lee is a man alone, millions of miles from home. A chance encounter with an alien shape-shifter sent him into a Cold Cosmos devoid of humanity. After the events of book one, he's established himself in the lowest bar on the moving asteroid Panadaras, gambling and serving as a bouncer. Until a sloth-cat creature he calls Slowhand appears and tells him Ginn is in trouble.

Brighton, rok 1997. Młody policjant Roy Grace, zafascynowany swoją pracą, nie zdaje sobie sprawy, jak bardzo jego żona Sandy czuje się samotna i nieszczęśliwa. Pochłonięty tropieniem sprawcy serii perwersyjnych gwałtów z ostatnich kilku miesięcy, nie zauważa nadciągającej katastrofy osobistej. Dwanaście lat później. Czterdziestoletni nadinspektor Roy Grace powoli podnosi się po stracie Sandy, która zniknęła przed dziewięciu laty w tajemniczych okolicznościach. Kieruje dochodzeniem w sprawie tajemniczego gwałciciela fetyszysty, który atakuje kobiety w markowych szpilkach.

Zaczyna się zwyczajnie: seria porannych scenek pokazuje współczesnych mieszkańców nadmorskiego Brighton zaabsorbowanych swoimi – mniej lub bardziej poważnymi – sprawami. I nagle szok - pogłębiarka w basenie portowym wydobywa z dna morza niezidentyfikowane ludzkie zwłoki. Nikt wtedy jeszcze nie podejrzewa, że jest to pierwsze ogniwo w łańcuchu dramatycznych wydarzeń, w którym splotą się losy wielu osób z Brighton oraz innego - odległego - miasta.

W tym samym czasie, kiedy Brian Bishop zamordował w Brighton swoją żonę, świadkowie widzieli go w oddalonym o 90 kilometrów Londynie. Tak wyglądają fakty, które ustalił prowadzący śledztwo detektyw Roy Grace. Ale tajemnica przebywania podejrzanego w dwu odległych miejscach jednocześnie nie jest jedyną zagadką, przed którą staje. Tropienie cieni przeszłości okazuje się ryzykowną grą, również dla niego. Może zwłaszcza dla niego.

Dżdżysty poranek w Brighton. Dzień jak co dzień. Prawniczka Carly Chase wyprawia syna do szkoły i rusza do biura. Kierowca chłodni Stuart Ferguson po kilkunastogodzinnej jeździe z towarem, cieszy się, że już niedługo będzie wracał do domu. Tony Revere, student ekonomii, wsiada na rower i pędzi na wykład. Osadzony Ewan Preece może pracować poza więzieniem, więc jak co dnia śpieszy się, by zdążyć na czas. Losy tych zwykłych ludzi splotą się w tragiczny węzeł na ruchliwej Portland Road, a wtedy życie całkowicie wymknie się im spod kontroli.

Linus Bailey's tenth birthday, if measured on some kind of “So how did it go then?” scale, would score a one. Maybe a bit less. It started well, but then things went very badly indeed. Linus' problem is that he makes things up. His mother, for instance, was found living as a head hunter in the Jungles of Borneo. His dad, a man called Nigel who Linus hasn't seen since he was two, is a Ninja Warrior currently living in Japan. His dad fights crime and saves people. Linus' Headmaster is evil and his jumper was knitted by slaves. Linus Bailey's childhood is my childhood—a childhood where, ...

This is a poignant and irreverent diary of the author's yearlong (2001-2) experience of teaching English to college students in Beijing, People's Republic of China. From the very first pages, the author draws you into his struggle with a culture worlds away from his comfort zone. The author's generous and compelling personality allowed him to gain access to the lives of his students and their families, who became characters in his tale. One can experience the author's wit and humanity throughout the narrative. The author's humorous view of China is especially timely and dovetails with the ...
