Description:
London: Bloomsbury, 2023. 1st. h/b. Fine as new.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely. Sales of this book helped to support UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world. Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand…

No. 22 in Grove series. First published in 1930, deals in the main with the older Forsytes before the events chronicled in The Man of Property. Galsworthy states in a foreword that ""They have all been written since Swan Song was finished but in place they come between the Saga and the Comedy ..."" By way of explanation he writes that ""It is hard to part suddenly and finally from those with whom one has lived so long; and these footnotes do really, I think, help to fill in and round out the chronicles of the Forsyte family.""

But no one has ever come close to touching her independent spirit. That is, until she encounters Wilfred Desert. They had first met at Fleur and Michael MontÕs wedding and the spark of attraction felt all those years before develops into a deep, all-consuming love. But Wilfred, made cynical by the war and a wanderer, is a complicated and tortured soul. When his past actions come back to haunt him, and the disapproval of DinnyÕs family work against them, their love is tested to the very limitÉ

Description:
London: Headline, 2001. 1st. h/b. Fine, as new.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Alan Bennett is one of Britain's most successful and popular living writers. He is also one of the last survivors of a generation of rule-breakers and radicals that first found its voice with ""Beyond the Fringe"" in 1961. Since then, he has gone on to huge success with his plays (""Kafka's Dick"", and ""An Englishman Abroad""), films (""A Private Function"", ""Prick Up Your Ears"", and ""The Madness of King George""), monologues (""Talking Heads"") and diaries (""Writing Home"", and ""The Lady in the Van""). In this book, the author examines the life of this intriguing, private man and sheds light on his work.

Hidden from prying Western satellites, Iranian scientists are at work on a banned device . . . They are acting on the orders of a renegade cell within IranÕs Revolutionary Guard Corps, whose objective is to transform their country into a nuclear-armed nation, and so seal its domination of the Middle East. BritainÕs intelligence agencies know something is up. Someone on the inside is ready to hand over information - but the rendezvous with SIS officer Luke Carlton goes bloodily wrong . . . Then MI6 sees an opportunity to recruit an individual with unique access to the IRGC hardliners. Luke is chosen to reel them in. Going into Iran undercover is dangerous enough, but then thereÕs a killing and a kidnapping and the British government is presented with a shocking ultimatum. With time running out, it seems only Luke can stop a cataclysmic new war in the Gulf . . .

Add a beautiful woman in a mudpack and not much else who gives up a freshly fired .38 to Conway before she shows him the door. Top it off with the body of another young woman with a bullet in her chest fired by the same gun, and you have the recipe for the perfect murder - and the perfect frame-up. Perry Mason has two problems. His client, Jerry Conway, is the prime suspect. And Perry himself is the accused accessory....

The second of John Gardner's James Bond novels. In this heart-stopping thriller, James Bond teams up with CIA agent Cedar Leiter, to investigate a dangerous criminal, suspected of reviving the notorious organisation SPECTRE. The organisation was believed to have been disbanded years earlier following the death of its leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, at the hands of Bond (in You Only Live Twice), but it seems that this is far from true. Bond discovers that the revitalised SPECTRE has the most devastating, world-threatening plans: to gain control of America's military space satellite network.

Description:
London: SCM, 2007. 1st thus. p/b. Near fine; some creases on back cover. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Redefining Christian Britain brings together distinguished writers from a number of fields - history, sociology, theology - to reassess the role of Christianity in Britain. This is an area that has been of increasing public debate and interest in recent years, but the debate has followed rather predictable grooves. This book seeks to do something different, by looking at the impact of Christianity over a wide range of areas of national life - religion and the media, religious art, religion in literature, religion in schools, religion and economics and so on. The book has been born out of a frustration at existing writing on religious change in Britain, which has tended to over-concentrate on church attendance figures, rather than look at the more diffuse and dynamic influence of religion on public and private life. ""Redefining Christian Britain"" will open up new areas of inquiry including…

New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2016. 1st. hardback. Fine, as new.. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). More than twenty years ago, the longtime NPR correspondent Anne Garrels began to visit the region of Chelyabinsk, an aging military-industrial center a thousand miles east of Moscow that is home to the Russian nuclear program. Her goal was to chart the social and political aftershocks of the USSR's collapse. On her trips to an area once closed to the West, Garrels discovered a populace for whom the new democratic freedoms were as traumatic as they were delightful. The region suffered a severe economic crisis in the early 1990s, and the next twenty years would only bring more turmoil as well as a growing identity crisis and antagonism toward foreigners. The city of Chelyabinsk became richer and more cosmopolitan, even as corruption and intolerance grew more entrenched. In Putin Country, Garrels crafts a necessary portrait of the nation's heartland. We meet upwardly mobile professionals,…

Very good, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (vg, some bumping); grey clothbound boards, bronze spine titling; text block firm, pages unmarked, some marking on edges.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). This is a comprehensive study of Germany's relationship with Europe since the Second World War. Garton Ash explores, in considerable detail, the division of Germany and the various initiatives -diplomatic, ideological and political, that emerged since 1945 to reconcile and unite East and West Germany. He also examines Germany's key role in central Europe with Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. This is a work of cossummate political analysis and is unquestionably Tim Garton Ash's most outstanding book. It will be published simultaneously across Europe and in America.
