Remember when everything was looking up? When the government was running at a surplus, pollution was disappearing, peace was breaking out in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the Bridge to the 21st century was strung with high–speed Internet cable and paved with 401K gold? Well, so much for the future. Michael Moore, the award–winning provocateur behind Roger & Me and the bestseller Downsize This!, now returns to size up the new century – and that big, ugly special–interest group that's laying waste to the world as we know it: stupid white men. Whether he's calling for United Nations action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta, calling on African–Americans to place 'whites only' signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, or praying that Jesse Helms will get kissed by a man, Stupid White Men is Mike's Manifesto on Malfeasance and Mediocrity. So if you're feeling the same way and you're wondering what's going to give out first – the economy, Dick Cheney's pacemaker, or your new VW Beetle – here's the book for you.

Ellie, Magda and Nadine are back - but they're not very happy! Ellie's glorious romance with Russell is teetering on the rocks. Magda's lost her pet and is desperately upset (though the others didn't even know she still had a hamster!). And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone on the Internet. She thinks her e-mail boyfriend sounds wonderful! Buckets of tears are wept and hundreds of tissues sniffled into. Can the girls' friendship survive these testing times? A superb fourth instalment in the GIRLS series, following GIRLS IN LOVE, GIRLS UNDER PRESSURE and GIRLS OUT LATE. A perfect read for older fans from the best-selling author, Jacqueline Wilson.

Кейт Редди, фондовый менеджер и мать двоих детей, может делать десять дел одновременно: продавать и покупать акции, менять пеленки, выяснять отношения с мужем, отбиваться от тупого босса, стряпать пироги, следить за поведением индекса Доу-Джонса и много чего еще. Не может Кейт одного - разобраться в себе и понять, кем же ей больше хочется быть: хорошей мамочкой и женой или успешным профессионалом, стремительно покоряющим высоты финансового мира.
Жизнь Кейт - беспрестанная борьба с чувством вины и неодобрением окружающих. Родственники, неработающие знакомые мамаши, начальство, коллеги-мужчины и даже нянька дружно осуждают Кейт. Но есть и другие напасти: хронический недосып, помноженный на хроническую бессонницу, страхи, невезение и полное отсутствие времени. В результате жизнь Кейт - череда смешных, нелепых и неловких ситуаций, в которые она постоянно попадает в попытках как-то извернуться и втиснуть две жизни в одну.
Этот искрометный роман уже произвел фурор на родине автора, в Англии. Автору и ее героине есть что сказать о надеждах и разочарованиях современной женщины. "И как ей это удается?" - смешная и в то же время грустная книга, после которой многие женщины задумаются о переменах в своей жизни, а мужчины - иначе посмотрят на своих подруг.

Roy Jenkins
0.0
Roy Jenkins's Churchill is an exhaustive biographical picture of one of the most enigmatic and important figures of the Twentieth Century. From the admiralty to the miner's strike, from the Battle of Britain to the Nobel Prize, Churchill's oversaw some of the most important events the World has ever seen. Roy Jenkins faithfully presents these events, while also managing to convey the contradictions and quirks in Churchill's character. In depth analysis and brilliant historical research make this a magnificent one-volume biography of an extraordinary life. In some ways a companion piece to his excellent biography of Gladstone, Churchill is packed with insights that only a fellow politician could convey.
