Obstacles to Young Love

David Nobbs was born in Orpington and educated at Marlborough, Cambridge and in the Royal Corps of Signals. His first job was as a reporter on the Sheffield Star, and his first break as a comedy writer came on the iconic satire show That Was The Week, That Was, hosted by David Frost. Later he wrote for The Frost Report and The Two Ronnies and provided material for many top comedians including Les Dawson, Ken Dodd, Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd and Dick Emery. David is best known for his two TV hit series A Bit of a Do and for The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, now revived in a contemporary version, starring Martin Clunes. He lives in North Yorkshire with his second wife, Susan. He has four stepchildren, eight grand-stepchildren and one great-grand-stepchild.

From one of the greatest comedic writers of a generation comes a story of love, faith and taxidermy.

‘Three mighty obstacles threaten the burgeoning love of childhood sweethearts Timothy Pickering and Naomi Walls. They are Steven Venables, a dead curlew and God.’

1978: Two lovers perch precariously on the cusp of adulthood. Timothy’s life ambition is to take on his father’s taxidermy business; while Naomi dreams of a
career on stage.

Across the decades their lives continue to interweave, and occasionally cross – bound by the pull of intoxicating first love. But will their destinies ultimately unite
them?

Nobbs moves his exceptional comic talent to a new-found depth. Memorable and moving, a tale of love won and love lost. You will never look at the art of
taxidermy in the same way again.

Long-awaited reissue of the final part of the classic spy trilogy, GAME,SET and MATCH, when the Berlin Wall divided not just a city but a world.

The spy who’s in the clear doesn’t exist…

Bernard Samson hoped they’d put Elvira Miller behind bars. She said she had been stupid, but it didn’t cut any ice with Bernard. She was a KGB-trained
agent and stupidity was no excuse.

There was one troubling thing about Mrs Miller’s confession - something about two codewords where there should have been one. The finger of suspicion
pointed straight back to London.

And that was where defector Erich Stinnes was locked up, refusing to say anything.

Bernard had got him to London; now he had to get him to talk…

Life on cloud nine isn''t always easy—especially when both your husband and your college sweetheart want to share it with you

Busy looking after her writers'' colony and hoping for a holiday in Spain with her husband and children, Shruti Narayan is startled to find a rather unwanted email in her inbox one morning. It is an invitation to a reunion at her college in Bangalore. It takes her a second to delete the mail. After all, why would she want to leave her life in Philadelphia to visit the past, to go back to Priya, the best friend she deserted, and to Jaggu, the old flame she has left so far behind? But as luck would have it, her husband finds out about the reunion and Shruti and her family find themselves at the gates of her college.

Desperate to ensure that her family does not learn about her past escapades, and at the same time unable to prevent herself from revisiting old memories, Shruti is caught in a guilty whirlpool of emotions and desires, as she struggles to reconcile past and

Business as Unusual

Anita Roddick is one of the world’s most outspoken, controversial and successful businesswomen. Business as Unusual turns the tables on the way society looks at business and forges a move toward greater corporate responsibility and accountability.

“In terms of power and influence, you can forget the church, forget politics. There is no more powerful institution in society than business, which is why I believe it is now more important than ever before for business to assume a moral leadership. The business of business should not be about money, it should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed." Anita Roddick
Business as Unusual charts the progress of Anita Roddick and her company The Body Shop through the last decade. It also looks at the parallel growth of vigilante consumerism and predicts how businesses can evolve in the new Millennium.
Ranging from personal issues – such as self-esteem – to wider political issues like the human rights abuses associated with globalisation, Roddick offers her own vision for dealing with the demands of ethical business. Roddick believes we should never underestimate the power of public pressure to create change, from the boycott of Shell in 1995 to the battle of Seattle at the World Trade Organisation Conference in late 1999.
Roddick argues that waves of public consciousness are steadily forcing corporations to re-evaluate their actions. By expanding the concept of the entrepreneur and the language of business and business ethics, we can compel the corporate world to change.

She talks openly about :
• The ‘greed culture’ of the 90s
• The Body Shop vs. Shell
• Trade Not Aid: Pleasures and pitfalls of trading with indigenous communities
• Taking on the US – The Body Shop in the states
• Creating community both within and outside the workplace
• How to campaign for human rights in the business environment
• Women and business

Aparajito

In describing Apu and his mother's grim struggle with poverty, their loneliness and other disappointments in life, Bandopadhyay might have turned Aparajito into a tale of woe. What he does in fact, is just the opposite. It remains truly the story of an unvanquished spirit that rises through all sorrows and grief like a phoenix, triumphant in its ability to retain hope at all times. Like Pather Panchali, Aparajito reveals the clarity of Bibhutibhushan's own inner vision, the astute but sympathetic treatment of his characters and his close intimacy with nature..

Antony and Cleopatra

Passion, politics, love and death combine in a novel of the legendary love triangle between the three leaders of Rome: Cleopatra, Mark Antony and Octavian, from the bestselling author of ''The Thorn Birds''

Mark Antony, famous warrior and legendary lover, expected that he would be Julius Caesar''s successor. But after Caesar''s murder it was his 18-year old nephew, Octavian, who was named in the will. No-one, least of all Antony, expected him to last but his youth and slight frame concealed a remarkable determination and a clear strategic sense.

Antony was the leader of the fabulously rich East. Barely into his campaigning, he met Cleopatra, Pharaoh of Egypt. Bereft by the loss of Julius Caesar, her lover, father of her only son, she saw Antony as another Roman who could support her and provide more heirs. His fascination for her, his sense that she knew the way forward where he had lost his, led to the beginning of their passionate, and very public affair. The two men, twin rulers of Rome, might have found a way to live with each other but not with Cleopatra between them.

This is a truly epic story of power and scandal, battle and passion, political spin and inexorable fate with a rich historical background and a remarkable cast of characters, all brought brilliantly to life by Colleen McCullough. It is hard to leave the world she has created.
