In 1992 Ray Krone, a former sergeant in the US Air Force was sentenced to death for the murder of Kimberly Ancona, a bar manager found stabbed to death in a restaurant near his home in Arizona. There were countless holes in the prosecution's case & ten years later the victim's clothes were examined using newly-developed DNA testing technology. Krone was completely exonerated & released from jail, but not before he'd spent an entire decade on death row. Dead Men Walking tells the incredible stories of those men & women who have lived their lives behind bars with the constant threat of death by fellow prisoners, or by state execution, hanging over them. What is it like to live out your days inside one of the world's toughest prisons, knowing you'll never again see beyond the exercise yard? Is it really possible to make friends, or form relationships inside? What should you do if, like Ray Krone, you've been sentenced to die for a crime you did not commit? This book examines the life-stories of men who claim to be innocent, men who were eventually proven innocent, & of those who are so dangerous life simply has to mean life. ...

There's simply no limit to the sins people will commit for a tasty meal. The Japanese are notorious for their trade in bluefin tuna, while newlyweds in Bangkok, Shanghai & Singapore devour a gelatinous soup made from poached abalone & fins hacked from living sharks. But surely there's no need for you to feel bad about ordering sea bass in a London restaurant. Unless, of course, you consider that you may well be enjoying one of the very last members of the species. In " Dead Seas" we follow acclaimed journalist Taras Grescoe on a year-long, round-the-world trip, as he eats his way from the top to the bottom of the food chain with one purpose in mind: to find out whether he can continue to eat such delicacies in good conscience. As well as painting a vivid & often hilarious picture of the fascinating people Taras encounters, Dead Seas explores the impact we are having on sea life by overfishing & draws our attention to some of the ethical choices we can make. At a time when many of the fish we take for granted are on the verge of extinction, we need to face the fact that very soon jellyfish sandwiches may be all that is left for us to eat. ...
