How many times have you heard somebody you know say: "I knew you were going to say that" or "I knew that was going to happen" or "I'm sure this has happened before"?How often have you read an unusual story in the paper and wondered if there was more to the event than you're being told?These are only two of the questions that have fuelled parapsychologist Dr Iain Ropner's studies over the past 20 years. Dr Iain Ropner's Casebook of Strange Events and Unusual Phenomena is the first instalment of six "case studies" - strange events that have occurred that cannot be readily explained away, such as Jackie McLean's suspicions in Messages from Sileby, or the perplexing phenomena that consumes the lives of a group of young boys in The Devil and the White Horse.

The fascinating story of the Iraqi Jews told through the life of the author's grandmother 'Last Days in Babylon is a marvel ... An amalgam of political commentary, history and personal memoir, it offers a poignant testimony to an obliterated people' Sunday Times 'This is a history unknown even to most Jews. Benjamin narrates it fluently and passionately' Independent Marina Benjamin grew up in London, feeling estranged from her family's Middle Eastern ways, refusing to speak Arabic or eat their food. But when Benjamin had her own child a few years ago, she realised that she was losing her link to the past, inspiring a journey to Baghdad and into her family's history. Her discoveries will haunt anyone who seeks to understand a country whose ongoing struggles continue to command the world's attention. By turns moving and funny, Last Days in Babylon is an adventure story, a riveting history and a timely reminder that behind today's headlines are real people whose lives are caught in the crossfire of misunderstanding, prejudice and ambition.
