Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This work was published on the 85th birthday of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Famous for his so-called "gaffes", Prince Philip is, quite simply, a national treasure: a man whose immense contribution to Britain (and the world) is not always fully appreciated. For nearly 60 years he has been not only at the Queen's side, but often several paces behind her! This cannot have been easy for a tough, no-nonsense ex-naval officer who distinguished himself in World War II. However, armed with a down-to-earth view on life and a magnificent sense of humour, he has carved out a unique role as Royal Consort. For the first time, two veteran Fleet Street royal reporters have compiled a comprehensive list of the iron Duke's notorious one-liners. In researching the book, Phil Dampier and Ashley Walton came to realise that there is so much more to the Prince than simply his famously acerbic comments. This book is great fun but it also shows that, behind the Duke's bluntness and banter, is a compassionate, deep-thinking man. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The extraordinary story of a wartime pilot who persuaded his German captors to escape with him.When Anthony Shaw's plane was shot down over France, he was quickly captured but soon managed a clever and daring escape. Then, incredibly, after his unlucky recapture he talked his guards (who had been told to shoot him) into letting him out - and coming too! The Upside of Trouble is full of such adventures - as the youngest ever King's Messenger, Shaw travelled all over the world. Returning to the Royal Navy, he became an experimental test pilot for planes and helicopters, again encountering thrills and spills - and a bruising court marshall for refusing to risk man and machine. Ending his career with a flourish, he was posted to newly independent Sierra Leone.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Stephen Poole joined British Rail in the early 1970s and worked on the railway in a variety of capacities for 20 years. This gave him an insight not only into the internal complexities of the nationalised railway in its last two decades, but also into the context in which it operated in terms of social, industrial, financial and political change. In spite of occasional rivalries, there was a shared sense of purpose and a camaraderie amongst railway workers and the author was clearly proud to be numbered amongst them. However, there was little room for such sentiments in the eventual helter-skelter run up to privatisation. The author portrays the reality of working for an industry struggling to survive and to adapt itself during a time of great upheaval, showing too how political expediency and dogma encroached upon the real work of running a railway - and resulted in the frustrations experienced by railway workers, passengers and freight users alike. Behind the Crumbling Edge.puts paid to any notion that there is a simple or lasting remedy for the railway industry's problems and demonstrates that the railway deserves better than to be treated as just another commodity in the national supermarket.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The medieval friar, an innovation of the Christian church in the thirteenth century began a time of spiritual renewal in the flagging religious establishment across Europe with a compelling combination of administrative flair and missionary zeal. Kenneth Rowland's appealing history shows how men of religious conviction, intellectuals, good honest men, even erratic and rather odd people, became friars - sometimes giving up considerable wealth and social position to minister to the sick and poor.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this meticulously researched study of the British criminal justice system, author David Fraser, a long-serving Senior Probation Officer, offers a clear-sighted and persuasive analysis of how and why the country faces the spiraling crime figures it does today. Fraser addresses government policy since World War II, showing how the belief that 'prisons do not work' became a central plank of criminal justice policy and charts the disastrous consequences that this had for the British public. He examines in detail how the workings of government, Civil Service, judiciary, police and Probation Service have all become perverted by a philosophy that seeks to uphold the 'rights' of the criminal rather than those of their victims. Finally, he argues that only by sending the country's large numbers of persistent criminals to prison for increasingly long periods will we be able to head off the social, political and civic catastrophe that looms in Britain today. Accessible and lucidly written, "A Land Fit for Criminals" will appeal to both those involved in the criminal justice system and to general readers concerned about the issues affecting Britain today.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ronald Jones was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but as a hotelier he has used the best cutlery for most of his life. This engaging and informative biography gives an enthralling being-the-scenes picture of the hospitality business as the author remembered the famous, the fantastic - and the fun. He recalls the post-war escalope de veau which was really rabbit, the one-eyed pastry-cook who took snuff and sneezed over the desserts, and the royal banquet at which Moroccan waiters tried to supplant Claridge's own and the hosts suggested the Queen should use her fingers!

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Drawing on evidence from several disciplines, and examples from five continents, Ian Niall Rankin sets out to completely reshape the history of our planet. Darwin's theory of evolution, he says, is inadequate to explain the archaeological and other evidence of past catastrophes that have hit the Earth. In his radical argument he insists that the reason for these repeated catastrophes lies in the unstable nature of the solar system itself. Tilting at another even more established theory, the author finds Newton's theory of gravity inadequate to explaining the continuous momentum of the planets over so many aeons. The model he proposes under his New Theory is as elegant as it is unexpected. This book will divide the scientific world as much as it will excite anyone with an open-minded interest in the nature of the universe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This work presents a detailed picture of middle-class family life in mid-Victorian England, which is full of charm and wit and is almost without parallel. Claire Constable's happy discovery of the vast Constable family archive of letters and personal journals has allowed her to share this remarkable story of one of photography's pioneers. In the current digital age, when pictures are instant and disposable, it is hard to imagine the excitement that greeted the opening of William Constable's Photographic Institution in Brighton in 1841. However, the excitement was such that even Prince Albert and his brothers came to have their portraits made. Before taking up photography, William Constable's life had been far from dull. In 1806, William, his brother Daniel and their dog Frank went to America and travelled for two years. They covered thousands of miles, largely on foot, while writing letters home that vividly described the new world. "The Constables of Brighton and Reigate" also details William's nephew Clair James Grece who was also a pioneer, but in the field of local democracy. Clair became the first Town Clerk of Reigate in Surrey in 1841, a post he was to hold for more than forty years. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
