In 1938, before Kindertransport, Jewish parents in Vienna took out adverts in the Manchester Guardian asking for people to take in their children – a desperate, last ditch attempt to save them from the Nazis. Eighty-three years later, Julian Borger discovers an advert for an ‘intelligent boy, aged 11, Viennese of good family’. It was his father, Robert. Like almost everything about his childhood, Robert had kept this a secret, until he took his own life. Starting with nothing but the adverts, Borger traces the remarkable stories of his father, the other advertised children & their families. From a Viennese radio shop to the Shanghai ghetto, internment camps & family homes across Britain, forests & concentration camps in Germany, smugglers saving Jewish lives in Holl&, an improbable French Resistance cell, & a redemptive story of survival in New York, he unearths the astonishing journeys & legacies of children left in the hands of fate – & at the mercy of other people’s... ...

Linda Smith was the brilliant mainstay of Radio 4's The News Quiz, Just a Minute, & I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue for many years. She was just establishing her career on TV through blistering performances on Have I Got News for You, QI & Room 101, when she died of ovarian cancer in 2006. Linda was one of the few women to conquer the male dominated world of comedy & she had the wit & the charm to win over millions of male & female fans in equal measure. She had an eye for the absurdities of modern life & loved to prick the egos of the pompous & the vain. When she called David Blunkett ' Satan's bearded folk singer', it was a simple statement of fact. No wonder then Linda was voted the 'wittiest person alive' by Radio 4 listeners in 2002. This collection of her material, from her early st&-up to her radio days, is a must-have for any comedy fan. ...

Philosophers certainly like to make life sound awfully complicated, whether they're wondering if a falling tree still makes a sound if there's nobody around to hear it (Berkeley) or declaring that everything in the universe is in a state of flux (Heraclitus). But is philosophy really so complicated? & is it really as irrelevant as it sometimes seems? I Think, Therefore I Am is the ideal way to take the fear out of philosophy. Written in an accessible & highly entertaining style, this book explains how & why philosophy began, & how, from Greek democracy to Communism, the ways in which we live, learn, argue, vote & even spend our money have their origins in philosophical thought. Covering the biggest names, including Socrates, Seneca, St Augustine, Descartes, Marx & Nietzsche, I Think Therefore I Am provides a handle for all the main -isms & -ologies. ...

Drawn from more than three decades of media coverage print, electronic, and online this tribute serves up the best, most thought-provoking insights ever spoken by Steve Jobs: more than 200"ations that are essential reading for everyone who seeks innovative solutions and inspirations applicable to their business, regardless of size. Jobs, who passed away on October 5, 2011 at the age of 56, co-founded Apple in 1976.

Consider how Jobs and Apple shaped the following fields: personal computers (laptop and desktop), apps (for multiple electronic devices), computer animation (Pixar), music (iTunes), telecommunications (iPhone), personal digital devices (iPod), books (iBook), and, most recently, tablets (iPad). Jobs was the greatest business visionary of our era. I, Steve is the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this great entrepreneur
