A hard-boiled fiction novel by Richard Hallas.

Spending leave together on the South Coast during the Battle of Britain and the beginning of the blitz, Clive and Prudence have an affair. Having survived Dunkirk, but having a crisis of conscience over what the war is being fought for and disgusted at the incompetence of the ruling elite, Clive decides not to return to the Army and to go absent without leave. Deserving comparison to Hemingway''s "A Farewell to Arms", This Above All was heralded as the first great novel of the Second World War... and it is about the war, but first and last it is a great love story, a great adventure in thinking things through. This soldier, discharged on leave after hospitalization, meets a girl in uniform of the W.A.A.F’s - and they break through the barriers of tradition and class and come to understand what both of them really stand for.

This is the story of Sam Small, a man from Yorkshire who wakes up one morning and decides that he can fly on his own two hands. So he does. This is for all those who know that dogs talk, Sundays can be repeated seven days in a row so that Monday never comes, and other dreamy escapism. You''ll have to read to believe how he learned to fly like a bird, by faith; how he changed a dog into a girl and back again; how he coped with the two selves of his split personality; and how he was called upon to explain the tricky foreign phrase, droit de seigneur, which said in effect that the duke of the neighboring parish was required by law to go to bed with Ian Cawper''s Mary Ann the night of their wedding. Here are fun humourous fantasies and shaggy dog stories by the author who would create "Lassie."

Have Your Cake And Look Good Too is an easy reading guide that shows how the author used the power of a healthy meal replacement to not only get into shape, but stay in shape without completely cutting out the foods that we really want to eat. The core message is why should people who simply want to be healthier and look better have to eat like people whose lively hood depends on the way their bodies look? We all know that if we want change, then we have to make some changes. But many trainers and programs push drastic changes down our throats that are not sustainable by the majority of people. If I am not a body builder or fitness model, why do I have to eat like one? If you don''t have at least a little discipline, this isn''t the program for you. It is for people who have discipline but can''t find a program that rewards that discipline. This book shows you how to maximize a good meal replacement so that you can lose weight or get healthier without throwing the foods you love out of the window. You have tried everything else, so what do you have to lose?

How to solve the world''s trickiest problems? In Reframe, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision. From terrorism to global warming, from border security to high finance, he brings a new perspective that is both exhilarating and useful. Why can''t we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists? Why can''t we learn anything about climate change by talking about the weather? Why can''t we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences? And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about international relations? This is an optimistic, lucid and original book by a brilliant young thinker.
