Journey
In 1997, Tony Blair won the biggest Labour victory in history to sweep the party to power and end eighteen years of Conservative government. He has been one of the most dynamic leaders of modern times; few British prime ministers have shaped the nati
on's course as profoundly as Blair during his ten years in power, and his achievements and his legacy will be debated for years to come. Now his memoirs reveal in intimate detail this unique political and personal journey, providing an insight into t
he man, the politician and the statesman, and charting successes, controversies and disappointments with an extraordinary candour.
"A Journey" will prove essential and compulsive reading for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of our glo
bal world. As an account of the nature and uses of power, it will also have a readership that extends well beyond politics, to all those who want to understand the challenges of leadership today.

up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terr
ible present reality.

Shine
We all have good days and bad days at work. Some days you feel bullet proof. People listen to you, your meetings run like clockwork, and you keep having new ideas. Other days are like wading through quick sand. You can't get anything done, and when the printer jams (again) you want to quit. Wouldn't it be great if every day went your way? If you jumped out of bed every morning ready for anything? You can stand out, break the rules and make things happen. You can be a bit more 'Elvis'. You can love every minute. The only limit is you: your energy, your belief, your perspective.
Ghost Writer
When talented young writer Nathan Zuckerman makes his pilgrimage to sit at the feet of his hero, the reclusive master of American Literature, E. I. Lonoff, he soon finds himself enmeshed in the great Jewish writer's domestic life, with all its complexity, artifice and drive for artistic truth.
As Nathan sits in breathlessly awkward conversation with his idol, a glimpse of a dark-haired beauty through a closing doorway leaves him reeling. He soon learns that the entrancing vision is Amy Bellette, but her position in the Lonoff household - student? mistress? - remains tantalisingly unclear. Over a disturbed and confusing dinner, Nathan gleans snippets of Amy's haunting Jewish background, and begins to draw his own fantastical conclusions...

This is Not the End of the Book
"The book is like the spoon: once invented, it cannot be bettered". (Umberto Eco). These days it is almost impossible to get away from discussions of whether the 'book' will survive the digital revolution. Blogs, tweets and newspaper articles on the
subject appear daily, many of them repetitive, most of them admitting they don't know what will happen. Amidst the twittering, the thoughts of Jean-Claude Carriere and Umberto Eco come as a breath of fresh air. There are few people better placed to d
iscuss the past, present and future of the book. Both avid book collectors with a deep understanding of history, they have explored through their work the many and varied ways ideas have been represented through the ages. This thought-provoking book
takes the form of a long conversation in which Carriere and Eco discuss everything from what can be defined as the first book to what is happening to knowledge now that infinite amounts of information are available at the click of a mouse. En route t
here are delightful digressions into personal anecdote. We find out about Eco's first computer and the book Carriere is most sad to have sold. Readers will close this entertaining book feeling they have had the privilege of eavesdropping on an intima
te discussion between two great minds. And while, as Carriere says, the one certain thing about the future is that it is unpredictable, it is clear from this conversation that, in some form or other, the book will survive.
Templar Salvation
The search to expose the ancient - and deadly - secrets of Christianity continues in this stunning follow-up to "The Last Templar...In 325 AD, the oligarchs of the early Christian Church assembled in Nicaea. Their aim? To codify, organise and approve the tenets of the rapidly growing new faith. To separate heresy from truth and sin from faith. To collect and formalise the Bible itself. All records of the deliberations were lost or destroyed and their secrets removed from history. For a while at least. For, one controversial heretic Islamic group - the 'hashashin' - got hold of the trove of these documents. They swiftly realised the enormous power of this knowledge and were determined to wield it for their own ends. Together with another renegade organisation - the Templar Knights - they proposed to destroy the power of the Catholic Church forever. For without the faith of the masses, what would be left? But they failed and - along with the Templars - were hunted down and brutally destroyed.
