Since Marco Polo`s explorations & Montaigne`s travels, a lively dialogue has persisted about travel`s pros & cons -- its excitement, novelties, perils, & misadventures. Lynne Sharon Schwartz joins this dialogue with a memoir that raises serious & amusing questions.” Not Now, Voyager” takes us on a voyage of self-discovery as the author traces how travel shaped her. She visits Miami Beach as an adolescent with an aunt & uncle & confronts the sensation of not belonging; she goes to Rome as a young woman & ponders the difference between ignorance & innocence; she ventures to Jamaica & witnesses acute political & social unrest; & she takes a family road trip to Montreal & watches her daughters come to their own startling realizations. In this memoir, Schwartz`s history takes on new shapes, & her feelings about travel change as she does. Her story exemplifies a mode of travel: the mind on a journey, pausing, sometimes by design, sometimes by serendipity, lingering, backtracking, but always on the move. ...

Theresa is desperate for a change. Forced into early retirement, fed up with babysitting her bossy daughter`s obnoxious children, she sells her Highgate house & moves to the picture-perfect town of Bellevue-sur-Mer, just outside Nice. With its beautiful villas, its bustling cafes & shimmering cerulean sea, the village sparkles like a diamond on the French Mediterranean coast. Once the hideaway of artists & writers, it is now home to the odd rock icon & Hollywood movie star, &, as Theresa soon discovers, a close-knit set of expats. There`s Carol, the infinitely glamorous American & her doting husband David; the erstwhile British TV star Sally; the ferocious Sian & her wayward Australian poet husband; the sharply witty Zoe with her strangely youthful face & penchant for white wine
- & the suave Brian who catches Theresa`s eye. As Theresa settles to the gentle rhythm of seaside life she embraces her new-found friendships & freedom. However, life is never quite as simple as it seems & as skeletons start to fall out of several closets, Theresa begins to wonder if life on the French Riviera is quite as nice as it first appeared.

Part memoir, part remedy for the state we`re in, with liberal sprinklings of common sense, Chris Patten`s ” Not Quite the Diplomat” is a frank & funny book from a very outspoken politician. After spending several years in the thick of international events, Chris Patten has seen rather a lot of the world
- & the people who run it. & now he`s free from the bonds of diplomacy, he doesn`t have to be quite so careful about what he says. Here he gives us his forthright views on everything from the Tories` downfall to America`s empire, from whether Blair has any political convictions to why Britain should start liking the French. ” Masterly, elegant, sprightly, wry.. .the best political reading of the year”. (James Naughtie, ” The Times Books of the Year”). ”A garnering of rich personal experience... Frank & vivid.. .without betraying any confidences or relationships of trust (Sir Christopher Meyer, please note)”. (” The Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year”). ” Elegant, warm, witty, stylish & readable... If politics were sane, appointments to ministerial rank anywhere would be conditional on reading, digesting, understanding & acting upon the wisdom of this book”. (” Independent”). ” Patten writes with wit, elegance & passion, showing a candour & courage uncommon among politicians”. (” Sunday Telegraph”). Chris Patten is currently Chairman of the BBC Trust, & Chancellor of Oxford & Newcastle Universities. He is well known for being the last Governor of Hong Kong 1992-1997, about which he wrote in ” East & West” (1998).

The defining calamity of the post-cold war era`, in Peter Oborne`s words, took place in 2003. The invasion of Iraq led to the collapse of the state system in the Middle East. Iraq is shattered, Syria will never be put back together again, & Lebanon hasn`t functioned as a unified state for a long time. & the great wave of refugees unleashed by this breakdown is threatening what is left of democracy in Turkey & the very existence of the European Union. Oborne provides a forensic examination of the way evidence was doctored & the law manipulated in 2002 & 2003 in order to justify a war for regime change. The government bent facts to fit its determination to join the US invasion, Parliament failed to scrutinise evidence, the intelligence service was perverted, & the media lost its head. This is a masterly account of the making of a disaster, written by a passionate British democrat. ...
