A story of best friends, bad luck & the consequences of breaking the rules in a town built on secrets & superstitions. I am girl of Ember Grove, & these are my woods… Growing up in Ember Grove, Bitsy Clark knows better than to mess with the long-held traditions of her hometown. Until her best friend, Amy, persuades her to sneak into the Revelry – the end-of-school party in the woods, to which only those leaving are invited.  When she wakes the next day, Bitsy can’t remember anything from the night before. Weirder still, whenever she tries to speak about the Revelry, Bitsy chokes on the words. But this is just the beginning, & what starts out as a run of bad luck starts to feel like a curse. As Bitsy’s life goes from bad to worse, things only get better & better for her best friend. It's as if there’s only so much luck to go around & Amy’s getting all of it...

How did the Texas cattle rancher Samuel A. Maverick end up contributing his name to the language? What is the connection between a rather unflattering item of clothing & the French trapeze artist Jules L?otard? Which filling did the Earl of Sandwich opt for when he made his great culinary invention? & was there really a Sir Oswald Binge whose week-long feasts were notorious for their excess? The Reverend Guppy's Aquarium answers these & many other questions drawn from the remoter corners of the English language, exploring the lives of an extraordinarily diverse range of people who happen to have one thing in common: by chance or deliberately, they have left their names deeply embedded in the language & consciousness of future generations. Each figure has something to tell us about a particular moment of history, or a discovery or invention, whether it's Lszl? Bir? & his pioneering writing implement, or Merc?ds Jellinek, who lent her name to a certain make of car, or ?tienne de Silhouette who, having fallen from grace at the French court, spent much of the later part of his life mournfully cutting out paper shapes. Not to mention the Reverend Robert Lechmere Guppy, fish-discoverer extraordinary. Each life in The Reverend Guppy's Aquarium is quirky & often bizarre. Few of them would merit a footnote, let alone an entry, in the history books. But they all reveal that the prospect of immortality is only a fluke away. In an age of instant 15-minute celebrity, that's a reassuring thought. ...

The Revolution Will Be Digitised - Audio Book

Details: There is more information in the world than ever before, but who is in control? At the centre is the Establishment: governments, corporations and powerful individuals who have more knowledge about us, and more power, than at any other time in history. Circling them is a new generation of hackers, pro-democracy campaigners and internet activists who no longer accept that the Establishment should run the show. In her gripping, revelatory new book, award-winning journalist and campaigner Heather Brooke takes us inside the Information War, from the hackerspaces of Boston and Berlin to the UK's journalism hub and Iceland's free speech revolution; from the headquarters of Google and Facebook to the murky world of Julian Assange and Wikileaks. Along the way Brooke explores the
most urgent questions of the digital age: where is the balance between freedom and security? In an online world, does privacy still exist? And will the internet empower individuals, or usher in a new age of censorship, surveillance and oppression? Read by the author. Ideal for: Essential 21st century reading. Running time approximately: 7.5 hours. 6 CD's unabridged.
