DOWNLOAD EBOOKWill Self and Ralph Steadman join forces once again in a further post-millennial meditation on the vexed relationship of psyche and place in a globalised world; Psycho Too brings together a second helping of their very best words and pictures from 'Psychogeography', the columns they contributed to the Independent for half a decade. The introduction, 'Journey Through Britain' is a new extended essay by Self, accompanied by Steadman's inimitable images. It tells of how Self journeyed to Dubai, that Götterdammerung of the contemporary built environment, in order to walk the length of the artificial Britain-shaped island, in the offshore luxury housing development known as 'The World'. Ranging from Istanbul to Los Angeles and from the crumbling coastline of East Yorkshire to the adamantine heads of Easter Island, Will Self's engaging and disturbing vision is once again perfectly counter-pointed by Ralph Steadman's edgy and dazzling artwork.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRaymond Flower brings the enchanting history of the secluded Italian region Chianti to vivid life. Using meticulous research, Flower presents the engrossing tales of the Etruscans, the Romans, the Lombards, the factions of the Guelphs and the Ghibellines and explores the rise of the communes and the struggles between the Empire and the Papacy. In the late Middle Ages, Chianti was the scene of decisive battles, and many of its medieval buildings were destroyed in the Aragonese invasions of the 15th century. Flower is himself a wine grower, and this dazzling story evokes the beauty of the vintage, which has been a part of the region since Etruscan times.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHidden Evidence takes you to the scenes of 40 infamous crimes and into the heart of the forensic investigations. These are the true crime shockers that have grabbed headlines and aroused public passions. David Owen explains the scientific procedures that helped crack every one of these cases -- from the gathering of elusive physical clues to the examination of weapons and bodies, to the use of sophisticated scientific analysis. Threaded throughout the book is the history of forensic science and the technologies that support it, including: fingerprinting, autopsies, handwriting analysis, ballistics, hair sampling, blood typing, DNA testing, dental records, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, compound and electron microscopes, and toxicology. The high-profile cases David Owen used to illustrate forensic developments are from as early as 1775, when Paul Revere used dentures to identify a slain soldier, to the latest developments in the Oklahoma bombing. Most will be familiar to readers, such as: The Lindbergh Kidnapping, Pan Am Flight 103, The Kennedy Investigation, The Hitler Diaries, Wayne Williams, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey MacDonald, Dr. Josef Mengele, Robert Maxwell's suicide, Tsar Nicholas II, and The World Trade Center bombing. David Owen presents the facts, steering clear of speculation. Comprehensive in scope, thoroughly researched and expertly compiled, Hidden Evidence is, in the words of former Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas T. Noguchi, "a fascinating book ... [and] an excellent mini-encyclopedia of widely discussed, high-profile cases."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDELUGE is a continuation of the two part Biblical series following DEATH RODE A WHITE HORSE. Noah, the descendent of Adam and Eve, has built the Ark. A user of alcoholic drinks, the sinful citizens of Ur fail to take his message seriously. The trickster, Lucifer, wants to make Creator angry enough to make him destroy his own people. Ham, third son of Noah, saves Jezebel from the flood. When the two have a son, Canaan, Noah puts a curse on the lad. Also saved from drowning are the descendents of ben-Able who are high in the Kargos Mountains with their animals. The current ben-Able risks the wrath of his people by forcing them to go higher up the mountain than the people and animals can safely go. Eventually ben-Able and his people join up with Hams family and head for Canaan to plant Creators people near the holy city of Jerusalem. DELUGE brings the Biblical characters into sometime hilarious situations when Lucifer and Creator and their followers pit their wits against each other. Lucifer not only destroys Creators people, but the flood reaches to Canaan and destroys Lucifers people. Lucifer is forced to save Ham in order to have people descending from Jezebel. While Lucifer takes the bodies of fish, fowl, and animals to save Ham and Jezebel, Creator and Gabriel soar above the flood in their chariot. This version of the Bible has a science fiction affect mixed with comedy, tragedy, and some very serious moments.
