Àííîòàöèÿ: From Stephen Clarke, the internationally bestselling author of A Year in the Merde and In the Merde for Love, Merde Happens is the third installation of Paul West's hilarious mis-adventures in merde. This time around Paul finds himself in financial trouble. After failing to translate the menu of his English-style tearoom into proper French, the Ministry of Culture levies him with a substantial fine, which he must pay within 6 weeks or risk losing his business. So, he sets off to America, with his French girlfriend in tow, to take part in an international competition to promote Britain as a tourism destination. But as the not-so-dynamic duo stumble toward Los Angeles, via Boston, Miami, New Orleans, and Las Vegas, Paul's well-oiled plans for success, of course, turn to merde: While visiting Boston, he inspires an impromptu recreation of the Boston Tea Party; in Miami, he narrowly escapes a carjacking only to have to his hotel room catch fire later that night; and somewhere between Miami and New Orleans, his girlfriend hitches a ride with another man for a liaison dangereuse. Meanwhile, Paul's old flame has declared war on her former beau by trying to sabotage his chances of winning the contest. And as Paul knows better than anyone, when you mix love and war—merde happens

Àííîòàöèÿ: And in the conclusion in #830, Robin faces certain death as massive explosions rock Wayne Tower.

Inside the room, Bruce tells Robin to find a small blowtorch and melt off the explosives. C4 doesn't explode under flame, just from a major impact. Robin is able to remove the cap and throw it out into the hall just as it goes off.

With appearances from beloved characters from her novel, including Jonathan Strange and Childermass, and an entirely new spin on certain historical figures, including Mary, Queen of Scots, this is a must-have for fans of Susanna Clarke's and an enticing introduction to her work for new readers. Some of these stories have never before been published; others have appeared in the "New York Times" or in highly regarded anthologies."" In this collection, they come together to expand the reach of Clarke's land of enchantment--and anticipate her next novel

Àííîòàöèÿ: Republican leaders, once characterized as having —humble— views on America—s role in the world, have adopted a new foreign policy characterized by attempts to democratize the Middle East. In their book, Jonathan Clarke and Stefan Halper argue that the Bush administration has jettisoned traditional foreign policy concepts such as deterrence and balances of power. In their place, the administration has accepted radical conceptions of the capabilities of American military power and of America—s overall role in the world. The authors claim that a neo-conservative grand strategy threatens to undermine the war against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, and to degrade America—s credibility, legitimacy, and effectiveness as a global leader.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A science fiction story explores the frontiers of technology, but that is not only purpose.Science fiction also explores moral dilemmas. In these two science fiction stories, you will have to decide for yourself whether scientific discoveries are for the good of humanity or not.

Àííîòàöèÿ: All these stories were written this century, most very recently, by talented beginners or established authors as famous as Arthur C.Clarke, Elspeth Davie, Thomas Hinde and Colin Thubron. Set in every corner of the British Isles, as well as in Kashmir, the Australian outback and a French launderette, these miniature dramas tell of a romantic, if painful, encounter at a cycle race, an obsessive tourist guide, a convent with problems and a Trotskyist bookseller. Comic or sad, exciting or thoughtful, they are deeply revealing about today's Britain and,with notes explaining the obscure words and technical terms, make a highly entertaining anthology, ideal for the serious student of life in Britain today or for anyone who simply enjoys a good read
