It's likely that you think of the funeral industry as a sombre one, populated by serious, grey-faced individuals whose days are filled with nothing but sadness and grief… but you couldn't be further from the truth, as Harry Pope reveals in this hilarious memoir of his time as a funeral director. Over the course of his career, Harry was involved in more than a few unusual incidents. In his early days, colleagues and eventually mourners broke into laughter as he somehow ended up sliding into a grave with the coffin coming to rest on top of him. Another day saw Harry get the fright of his life when he heard a knocking coming from the rear of the hearse, where no living person should have been. And as for the coffin that he just about prevented from being emptied onto the tarmac at Heathrow Airport… well, you’ll just have to buy the book! As well as these hilarious anecdotes, Harry introduces us to the hidden and often tragic world of the funeral arranger, with a look at his involvement in disasters such as the Piper Alpha oil rig, the Lockerbie bombing and the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise. With stories that will make you cry with tears of both sadness and laughter, this fascinating read is perfect for a wide and varied audience.

About the Book Colonel Viktor A. Kovalenko, a widowed honorable Russian Intelligence officer and new commander of the Chelyabinsk military installation, has discovered that a nuclear bomb is missing from the base storage vault. Viktor sets out on a complex and draining clandestine journey to an FBI safe house in Brooklyn, New York, where he discovers that his beautiful daughter Karina, rejected by the Bolshoi but now dancing for the New York Ballet Company, has disappeared. Inspired by Philip L. Rettew’s experience seeing the 9/11 attacks in Manhattan in real time, The Kovalenko Secret is a compelling and richly detailed story demonstrating the nature of current and historical differences among cultures, nations, politics, and religions as an international cast of characters reveals their versions of reality during the most devastating terrorist attack in all of human history. About the Author Philip L. Rettew, after a twenty-five-year career as a technical market analyst working in southern Manhattan, is now retired and living in South Burlington, Vermont.

Never disappointed. They make me smile. My only trouble is when I finish it...There are no more to read as I've read them all!" -- ***** Reader review "Judy Astley is a brilliant writer, you get lost in her books. They are all brilliant in my opinion." -- ***** Reader review ******************************************************************************* SCANDALOUS SECRETS SET A PEACEFUL VILLAGE ALIGHT... It was Heather's silver wedding anniversary. But this important milestone did not relate to her marriage to Tom, her often-absent airline pilot husband and father of their two teenage children. It was for her first marriage - a wildly romantic, secret affair, when, at 16, she and Iain - twelve years her senior and the heir to a Scottish baronetcy - had eloped immediately after her final school speech day. The marriage had not lasted twenty-five weeks, let alone years and it was As If It Never Happened. But secrets have a habit of coming out, and when a film crew arrives in the attractive Thamesside village where Heather and Tom live, Heather is horrified to find her ex-husband amongst them. As Heather and Iain meet again, many secrets jostle to be revealed, including Tom's own highly secret life. Heather, her daughter Kate and her mother Delia are all forced to reveal things which they never thought would need to be revealed, and their peaceful Oxfordshire village community rocks with speculation and scandal...

A wide variety of extremist groups -- Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis -- share the oddly similar belief that a tiny shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room. In Them, journalist Jon Ronson has joined the extremists to track down the fabled secret room. As a journalist and a Jew, Ronson was often considered one of "Them" but he had no idea if their meetings actually took place. Was he just not invited? Them takes us across three continents and into the secret room. Along the way he meets Omar Bakri Mohammed, considered one of the most dangerous men in Great Britain, PR-savvy Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Thom Robb, and the survivors of Ruby Ridge. He is chased by men in dark glasses and unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp. In the forests of northern California he even witnesses CEOs and leading politicians -- like Dick Cheney and George Bush -- undertake a bizarre owl ritual. Ronson's investigations, by turns creepy and comical, reveal some alarming things about the looking-glass world of "us" and "them." Them is a deep and fascinating look at the lives and minds of extremists. Are the extremists onto something? Or is Jon Ronson becoming one of them?

The advent of the War on Terror has seen intelligence agencies emerge out of the shadows to become major political players. 'Rendition', untrammelled surveillance, torture and detention without trial are now fast becoming the norm. Spies, Lies and the War on Terror traces the transformation of intelligence from a tool for law enforcement to a means of avoiding the law - both national and international. The new culture of victimhood in the US and among partners in the 'coalition of the willing' has crushed domestic liberties and formed a global network of extra-legal licence. State and corporate interests are increasingly fused in the new business of privatising fear. Todd & Bloch argue that the bureaucracy and narrow political goals surrounding intelligence actually have the potential to increase the terrorist threat. This lively and shocking account is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the new power of intelligence.

This is the 2nd edition of the popular Hidden Inns of the South East which has been completely redesigned to include a new cover, new page layouts and will be printed in full colour. It also now includes even more pubs and inns in this beautiful and scenic region of England. The Hidden Inns series of regional guides covers "hidden" pubs and inns throughout the United Kingdom. The series originates from the enthusiastic suggestions of the landladies and landlords of inns reviewed in the Hidden Places series of travel guides and from Hidden Places readers who want to be directed to traditional inns with atmosphere and character, which are so much a part of our British heritage. The inns reviewed in the book may have been coaching inns and have definitely been a part of the history of the village or town in which they are located for many, many years. A Travel Publishing researcher has visited all of the inns reviewed and all serve food and drink. Many also offer the visitor accommodation. The Hidden Inns of the South East is packed full with a variety of different pubs and inns. There is an informative introductory narrative in each chapter containing historical facts, important landmarks and places to visit. A full page is devoted to each pub or inn and contains a full colour photograph, full name, address and telephone number, directions on how to get there, descriptive narrative and a handy summary of opening hours, food served, credit cards accepted, accommodation provided, other facilities offered, entertainment as well as local places of interest and local activities available. The new edition includes an attractive redesigned cover that incorporates a picture of The White HorsePublic House in Chilgrove
