SS-GB - Len Deighton - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Deighton''s best book ... an absorbingly exciting spy story that is also a fascinating exercise in might-have-been speculation'' The New York Times Book Review It is 1941 and Germany has won the war. Britain is occupied, Churchill executed and the King imprisoned in the Tower of London. At Scotland Yard, Detective Inspector Archer tries to do his job and keep his head down. But when a body is found in a Mayfair flat, what at first appears to be a routine murder investigation sends him into a world of espionage, deceit and betrayal. ''Len Deighton is the Flaubert of contemporary thriller writers ... this is much the way things would have turned out if the Germans had won'' The Times Literary Supplement

Salt Path (Signed Edition) - Raynor Winn - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Salt Path (Signed Edition) - Raynor Winn - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable journey. The Salt Path is an honest and life-affirming true story of coming to terms with grief and the healing power of the natural world. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of home, and how it can be lost, rebuilt and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

Are You Listening? - Jenny Rogers - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Absorbing'' - The Guardian ''Are You Listening? is a real gem: full of insights about the human psyche, non-fiction, as gripping as a novel'' - Miranda Levy , author of THE INSOMNIA DIARIES on TwitterIt is very rare as an adult to find a place where you are not judged, where you can be open, honest and vulnerable: that is exactly what coaching provides. Through twenty stories from her 32 years in the coaching room, Jenny demonstrates how even the most successful people can be held back by doubts, limitations and human dilemmas, such as: · ''Can I be my real self at work?''· ''What''s my purpose in life?''· ''How do I deal with unhappiness and disappointment?''· ''Should I go for a job where I get paid a fortune but know I''d be miserable?''Through these moving, beautifully written stories, Jenny reflects on the meaning of modern relationships, demonstrating how the courage to be vulnerable can make a huge, transformative difference to the quality of all our lives. ''Jenny Roger cherishes the core of truth in each of us'' - Sally Helgesen, author of HOW WOMEN RISE

All That Is Solid - Danny Dorling - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

All That Is Solid - Danny Dorling - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In All That is Solid Danny Dorling offers an agenda-shaping look at the UK''s dangerous relationship with housing - and how it''s all going to come crashing downHousing was at the heart of the financial collapse, and our economy is now precariously reliant on the housing market. In this ground-breaking book, Danny Dorling argues that housing is the defining issue of our times. Tracing how we got to our current crisis and how housing has come to reflect class and wealth in Britain, All That Is Solid shows that the solution to our problems - rising homelessness, a generation priced out of home ownership - is not, as is widely assumed, building more homes. Inequality, he argues, is what we really need to overcome.''An urgent book about an urgent topic'' - Lynsey Hanley, New Statesman ''A brilliantly original study of our national obsession'' - Nick Cohen, Observer Danny Dorling is Halford Mackinder Professor in Geography at the University of Oxford. He has worked both with the British government and the World Health Organization and is frequently asked to comment on current issues on TV and the radio. He has published more than twenty-five books, including Injustice: Why Social Inequality Exists , So You Think You Know About Britain? and The 32 Stops for Penguin Underground Lines.

Every Cripple a Superhero - Christoph Keller - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Every Cripple a Superhero - Christoph Keller - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Fascinating ... compelling ... very funny '' Sunday Times ''A defiant call to arms ... affecting ... lingers long in the memory after its final page'' Morning Star ''A skilful act of literary witness, sharp, moving and funny'' Joanne Limburg ''Christoph Keller ... ranks among the great Swiss writers'' Neue Zürcher Zeitung Most stories of disability follow a familiar pattern: Life Before Accident. Life After Accident. For Christoph Keller, it was different: his childhood diagnosis with a form of Spinal Muscular Atrophy only revealed what had been with him since birth. SMA III, the ''kindest one'', allows those who have it to live a long life, and it progresses slowly. There is no cure. By the age of 25, he had to use a wheelchair some of the time. ''There were two of me: Walking Me. Rolling Me. '' By 32, he could still walk into a restaurant with a cane or on somebody''s arm. At 45, ''Rolling Me'' took over altogether.Intimate, absurdist and winningly frank, Every Cripple a Superhero is at once a memoir of life with a progressive disorder, and a profound exploration of the challenges of loving, being loved, and living a public life - navigating restaurants, aeroplanes, museums and artists'' retreats - in a world not designed for you. Threaded throughout are Keller''s own photographs of the unexpected beauty found in puddle-filled ''curb cuts'', the pavement ramps that, left to disintegrate, form part of the urban obstacle course. Those puddles become portals into a different, truer city; and, as they do, so this book - told with humour and immense grace - begins to uncover a truer world: one where the ''normal'' is not normal, where disability is far more widespread than we might think, and where there always exist, just alongside our own, the lives of everyday superheroes.

Money and Government - Robert Skidelsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Money and Government - Robert Skidelsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''In this remarkable work, Robert Skidelsky unites his experience, knowledge and talents in a sweeping account of money and power'' James K. GalbraithThe dominant view in economics is that money and government should play only a minor role in economic life. Money, it is claimed, is nothing more than a medium of exchange; and economic outcomes are best left to the ''invisible hand'' of the market. The view taken in this important new book is that the omnipresence of uncertainty make money and government essential features of any market economy. One reason we need money is because we don''t know what the future will bring. Government - good government - makes the future more predictable and therefore reduces this kind of demand for money.After Adam Smith orthodoxy persistently espoused non-intervention, but the Great Depression of 1929-32 stopped the artificers of orthodox economics in their tracks. A precarious balance of forces between government, employers, and trade unions enabled Keynesian economics to emerge as the new policy paradigm of the Western world. However, the stagflation of the 1970s led to the rejection of Keynesian policy and a return to small-state neoclassical orthodoxy. Thirty years later, the 2008 global financial crash was severe enough to have shaken the re-vamped classical orthodoxy, but, curiously, this did not happen. Once the crisis had been overcome - by Keynesian measures taken in desperation - the pre-crash orthodoxy was reinstated, undermined but unbowed. Since 2008, no new ''big idea'' has emerged, and orthodoxy has maintained its sway, enacting punishing austerity agendas that leave us with a still-anaemic global economy.This book aims to familiarise the reader with essential elements of Keynes''s ''big idea''. By showing that much of economic orthodoxy is far from being the hard science it claims to be, it aims to embolden the next generation of economists to break free from their conceptual prisons and afford money and government the starring roles in the economic drama that they deserve.
