Download or read book Thank You Mr Crombie written by Mihir Bose and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mihir Bose, born in Kolkata shortly before Indian independence in 1947, still feels an enormous debt of gratitude to Mr Crombie, the UK Home Office official who fulfilled his dreams of settling in Britain. Having studied there in the 1960s before heading back to India under parental pressure, he later returned to London. Shiva Naipaul, doubting that Bose could become a writer, mocked him for reembracing the colonial lash--but Bose would prove him wrong. This absorbing memoir shows how Britain has changed dramatically for the better since the '60s. Then, Indian food was shunned, not adored; landladies wouldn't rent Bose a room; white women would not have relationships, because they wanted white babies; and he suffered several assaults, fearing for his life. In those early days, Bose could not imagine that the British would take such enormous strides towards multi-racial harmony. While this extraordinary transformation has reinforced his faith in the nation's capacity for change, Britain's complex, at times deeply shameful, imperial legacy must still be addressed. India has been proving its doubters wrong, and striving to come to terms with its tortured past. Can twenty-first-century Britain, too, grow once again, and earn the gratitude of future generations?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Edgar–winner Cook examines the slow collapse of a prominent Southern family in this magnificent tale of suspense.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) In 1954 Mississippi, Jack Branch returns to his father’s Delta estate, Great Oaks, to start what he considers a noble act: teaching at the local high school. Leading a class discussion on historical evil, Jack is shocked to discover that his unassuming student Eddie is the son of the Coed Killer, a notorious local murderer. Jack feels compelled to mentor the boy, encouraging Eddie to examine his father’s crime and using his own good name to open the doors that Eddie’s lineage can’t. But when Eddie’s investigation leads him to Great Oaks and to Jack’s own father, Jack finds himself questioning Eddie’s motives—and his own. As the deadly consequences of Jack’s actions fall inescapably into place, Thomas H. Cook masterfully reveals the darker truths that lurk in the depths of small-town lives and in the hearts of even well-intentioned men. “Beautifully written and heavily muscled with character and intrigue, this novel is a tour de force.” —Michael Connelly “The plot is laced with unexpected twists, and Cook’s writing is deeply atmospheric.” —Associated Press “[An] enthralling tale . . . thrilling.” —The New York Times Book Review “A joy to read . . . nearly perfect.” —The Kansas City Star

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms may only be thirty-five years old but it is an important document for all Canadians. Few today, however, are aware of the extensive work and tumultuous debates that occurred behind the scenes. In The Charter Debates, Adam Dodek tells the story of the Special Joint Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons on the Constitution, whose members were instrumental in drafting the Charter. Dodek places the work of the Joint Committee against the backdrop of the decades-long process of patriation and takes the reader inside the committee room, giving them access to Cabinet discussions about constitutional reform. The volume offers a textual exploration of the edited proceedings concerning major Charter subjects such as fundamental freedoms, democratic rights, equality rights, language rights, and the limitations clause. Presenting key moments from the transcripts, carefully selected and contextualized, The Charter Debates is a one-of-a-kind resource for scholars, students, and general readers interested in the Charter and its impact on constitutional politics in Canada.

Download or read book Demons written by Alex Binney and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We all have demons inside us. It's how we deal with them that dictates the sort of people we become," said the psychiatrist. This platitude does not help the Murder Squad at Scotland Yard when they are called in to solve fi ve unlawful killings that occur within a twentyfour hour period in the London area. To complicate matters, they are also asked to re-open a murder case when a man tried for the homicide is acquitted at the Old Bailey. Their problems escalate when a "Jack the Ripper" copy-cat starts his bloody slaughters in the Whitechapel area. It is 1958 when the advantages of modern forensic science are not available. Superintendent William Lamb is assigned to the case with the assistance of several detectives. His actions are called in to question by his peers when it becomes obvious that the superintendent has his own dark secrets to conceal. A demonic story which is a challenge to take up and even more diffi cult to put down. Another spine-chilling tale from Alex Binney that will keep you awake at night.
