I Fought The Law
£8.99
When Dan Kieran discovered that there are loads of ridiculous, out-dated laws on the statute book, he decided to break as many as he could for his own amusement. You see, it is still illegal to shoot a Welshman in Chester with a bow & arrow before midnight, but not after, or take possession of a beached whale.

But Dan's satirical crime spree cme to a sudden halt when he unearthed a glut of bizarre & stupid legislation, all passed by our current government.

Follow Dan as he meets & unlikely protestor called Dorothy who lives on the roof of a bus station; find out why a group of pensioners let off a stink bomb in a court of law
- or why one woman got an ASBO for being naked in her own home.

Whether it's fighting to protect our environment, our freedom, or the right to live in an unconventional way, I Fought the Law is a celebration of the true British spirit
- & a call to arms to all those for whom enough is enough!

I Have Landed:
Splashes
And Reflections In
Natural History
£10.21
Stephen Jay Gould's writing remains the modern standard by which popular science writing is judged. Throughout his work Gould has developed a distinctive & personal form of essay to treat great scientific issues in the context of biography. Here, Gould once again applied biographical perspectives to the illumination of key scientific concepts & their history, ranging from the discovery of the new scourge of syphilis by Fracastero in the sixteenth century & Isabelle Duncan's nineteenth-century attempt at reconciling scripture & palaeontology to Freud's weird speculations about human phylogeny & recent creationist attacks on the study of evolution. As always, the essays brilliantly illuminate & elucidate the puzzles & paradoxes great & small that have fuelled the enterprise of science & opened our eyes to a world of unexpected wonders. ...

I Have Tried To Tell
The Truth: 1943 - 1944
£45.00
Orwell served as Literary Editor of Tribune from 29 November 1943 until he went to Continental Europe as War Correspondent for The Observer & the Manchester Evening News in mid February 1945. He continued to write for Tribune until 4 April 1947, when his eightieth ' As I Please' appeared. This column is now, in this edition, printed without cuts. In these thirteen months Orwell reviewed 86 books & he wrote essays in Twain, Smollett, Thackeray, & The Vicar of Wakefield. It was a period in which several important essays appeared, but perhaps the most intriguing is one that has previously neither been accredited to him nor reprinted: ' Can Socialists Be Happy?' written under the pseudonym, John Freeman. Four ' London Letters' were contributed to Partisan Review. The English People, though not published until 1947, is included in this volume. ...

I Know You Joanna
£6.42
Joanna, a writer for an erotic magazine, is coerced by her attractive boss Adam to become the prize in a competition. The sexually diverse readers of her column all want to initiate her into their favourite deviant pastimes. After her initial nervousness she begins to relish her role as a sexual journalist.
