- but the good times won`t last... In Europe, the Nazis have invaded Czechoslovakia, & in Germany the persecution of the Jews is now so widespread that desperate Jewish parents send their children to safety in Britain aboard the Kindertransport. Closer to home, the IRA`s S-Plan bombing campaign has resulted in more than 100 terrorist outrages around Engl&. But perhaps the most far-reaching event of all goes largely unreported: in Germany, Otto Hahn has produced the first man-made fission & an atomic device is now a very real possibility. The Nazis set up the Uranverein group of physicists: its task is to build a superbomb. The German High Command is aware that British & US scientists are working on similar line. Cambridge`s Cavendish Laboratory is where the atom was split in 1932. Might the Cambridge men now win the race for a nuclear bomb? Hitler`s generals need to be sure they know all the Cavendish`s secrets. Only then will it be safe for Germany to wage war. When one of the Cavendish`s finest brains is murdered, Professor Tom Wilde is once more drawn into an intrigue from which there seems no escape. In a conspiracy that stretches from Cambridge to Berlin & from Washington DC to the west coast of Irel&, he faces deadly forces that threaten the fate of the world.

Every day we make decisions: about the things that we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make or our children`s health & education; even the causes that we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions that make us poorer, less healthy & less happy. &, as Thaler & Sunstein show, no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way. By knowing how people think, we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for them, their families & society. Using dozens of eye-opening examples the authors demonstrate how to nudge us in the right directions, without restricting our freedom of choice. ” Nudge” offers a unique new way of looking at the world for individuals & governments alike. This is one of the most engaging, provocative & important books you will ever read. ...
