A milestone in the history of popular theology, ' The Screwtape Letters' is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare & the power of the devil. This profound & striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian.

Noel Fielding's book channels the creative influences of Henri Rousseau, Roy Lichtenstein & Salvador Dali, through the comedian's strange & singular, not to say surreal mind. Hilarious & beautifully produced, the book is a visual feast which will delight & entertain Noel's millions of fans. " Growing up in the jungles of India there was no need for drawing or painting. I would sometimes arrange ants into primitive still lives or scratch out portraits onto the trunks of trees. Things changed when I was 11, a lame tiger who owned a stationery shop gave me the keys to his stock room, I would roll around in acrylic & oil pastels in reverie, licking canvases & tucking coloured pencils into my wild hair. It was here I learned how to draw & paint well enough to be accepted into Croyden Art College. There, Dexter Dalwood (Turner Prize nominee) taught me & after two years under his supreme tutelage & much hard graft he adviced me to become a comedian." Noel Fielding ...

The Scramble For The Arctic - Ownership, Exploitation And Conflict In
The Far North

In August 2007 the world reacted with consternation as Russia planted a flag beneath the ice of the North Pole, symbolising the Kremlins claim to the Arctic with its vast mineral resources, and firing the starting gun on the worlds last colonial scramble. The Scramble for the Arctic examines the history of the region and its exploration, the current state of ownership, the legal status of the Arctic and its waters, the likely outcomes of todays powerplays, and what is at stake both politically and ecologically. With the map literally being redrawn by global warming, the ownership of the Arctic will be one of the defining issues of the next decade. In this deeply informed and clearsighted account by two of the worlds leading Arctic scholars and explorers,
Richard Sale and Eugene Potapov analyse the competing interests of nations, corporations, and indeed species.
