Download or read book Simon English the Army Pink Snowman written by Simon English and published by Black Dog Pub Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first monograph on the influential yet elusive artist Simon English. Away from the Brit Art hype of the 1990s, English's oeurve has developed from his early paintings to a gritty and humorous treatment of desire and fantasy. Focusing on his current practice of detailed drawings that function as both installations and self-contained narratives, the book contains a range of unique reproductions creating an extraordinary visual tale. English's figures appear as a mass of tableaux: erotic, playful, confessional and complex, but as charming and often as innocent as the children's book that has preoccupied English, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, by Jill Tomlinson. English's alluring explorations of autobiography and the imaginary create lyrical structures that are discussed in the accompanying texts by Stella Santacatterina and Bill Arning, and mirrored in the design of the book. 350 colour & b/w illustrations

Book excerpt: From the land of the midnight sun, a compelling and dark thriller by Sweden?s master of crime fiction: The autumn gloom comes quickly on the Swedish city of Gothenburg, and for Detective Chief Inspector Erik Winter the days seem even shorter, the nights bleaker, when he is faced with two apparently unrelated sets of perplexing crimes. Mysterious assaults on college students in Gothenburg?s parks are carried out in the dark of the night, while during the day toddlers are abducted from their nursery schools and quickly returned, seemingly unharmed, before anyone even notices they are missing. Investigating these bizarre cases, D.C.I.

Winter must deduce the labyrinthine connections between the cases before the culprit?or is it culprits??closes in on his own family. Haunting and psychologically astute, Frozen Tracks is another triumph from the award- winning master of Swedish noir.

Nora and her husband, Simon, have run the beautiful oak-beamed book shop in their small British village for thirty years. But times are tough and the shop is under threat of closure--this Christmas season will really decide their fate. When an elderly man visits the store and buys the one book they've never been able to sell, saying it's the perfect gift for his sick grandson, it gives Nora an idea. She and Simon will send out books to those feeling down this Christmas. Maybe they can't save their bookstore, but at least they'll have one final chance to lift people's spirits through the power of reading. After gathering nominations online, Nora and Simon quietly deliver books to six residents of the village in need of some festive cheer, including a single dad of twins who is working hard to make ends meet, a teenage boy grieving for his big sister, a local Member of Parliament who is battling depression, and a teacher who's newly retired and living on her own. As the town prepares for a white Christmas, the books begin to give the recipients hope, one by one.

Download or read book The Wizards Of Langley written by Jeffrey T. Richelson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first full-length study of the Directorate of Science and Technology, Jeffrey T. Richelson walks us down the corridors of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and through the four decades of science, scientists, and managers that produced the CIA we have today. He tells a story of amazing technological innovation in service of intelligence gathering, of bitter bureaucratic infighting, and sometimes, as in the case of its "mind-control" adventure, of stunning moral failure. Based on original interviews and extensive archival research, The Wizards of Langley turns a piercing lamp on many of the agency's activities, many never before made public.
