Welcome to Overland! Where the California sun shines down on synthetic grass and plastic oranges bedeck the trees all year round. Steam billows gently from the chimney tops and the blue tarpaulin lake is open for fishing... Hollywood set-designer George Godfrey has been called on to do his patriotic duty and he doesn't believe in half-measures. If he is going to hide an American aircraft plant from the threat of Japanese aerial spies he has an almighty job on his hands. He will need an army of props and actors to make the Lockheed factory vanish behind the semblance of a suburban town. Every day, his "Residents" climb through a trapdoor in the factory roof to shift model cars, shop for imaginary groceries and rotate fake sheep in felt-green meadows. Overland is a beacon for the young women labouring below it: Queenie, dreaming of movie stardom while welding sheet metal; Kay, who must seek refuge from the order to intern "All Persons of Japanese Ancestry". Meanwhile, George's right-hand Resident, Jimmy, knows that High Command aren't at all happy with the camouflage project...With George so bewitched by his own illusion, might it risk confusing everybody - not just the enemy?Overland is a book like no other -- to be read in landscape format. Based on true events, it is a novel where characters' dreams and desires come down to earth with more than a bump, confronting the hardships of life during wartime. As surreal and playful as it is affecting and unsettling, no-one other than Graham Rawle could have created it.

The beautiful, questing second novel in Tim Pears' acclaimed West Country trilogy. Two teenagers, bound by love yet divided by fate, forge separate paths in pre-First World War Devon and Cornwall 1912. Leo is on a journey. Aged thirteen and banished from the secluded farm of his childhood, he travels through Devon, grazing on berries and sleeping in copses. Behind him lies the past, and before him the West Country, spread out like a tapestry. But a wanderer is never alone for long, try as he might - and soon Leo is taken in by gypsies, with their waggons, horses and vivid attire. Yet he knows he cannot linger, and must forge on to Penzance, towards the western horizon... Lottie is at home. Life on the estate continues as usual, yet nothing is as it was. Her father is distracted by the promise of new love and Lottie is increasingly absorbed in the natural world: the profusion of wild flowers in the meadow, the habits of predators, and the mysteries of anatomy. And of course, Leo is absent. How will the two young people ever find each other again? In The Wanderers, Tim Pears's writing, both transcendental and sharply focused, reaches new heights, revealing the beauty and brutality that coexist in nature. Timeless, searching, charged with raw energy and gentle humour, this is a delicately wrought tale of adolescence; of survival; of longing, loneliness and love.

'Risk Governance is a tour de force. Every risk manager, every risk analyst, every risk researcher must read this book - it is the demarcation point for all further advances in risk policy and risk research. Renn provides authoritative guidance on how to manage risks based on a definitive synthesis of the research literature. The skill with which he builds practical recommendations from solid science is unprecedented.' Thomas Dietz, Director, Environmental Science and Policy Program, Michigan State University, USA 'A masterpiece of new knowledge and wisdom with illustrative examples of tested applications to realworld cases. The book is recommendable also to interested students in different disciplines as a timely textbook on 'risk beyond risk'.' Norio Okada, Full Professor and Director at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Japan 'There are classic environmental works such as The Tragedy of the Commons by Hardin, Risk Society by Beck, The Theory of Communicative Action by Habermas, and the seminal volumes by Ostrom on governing the commons. Renn's book fits right into this series of important milestones of environmental studies.'Jochen Jaeger, Professor at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada 'Risk Governance provides a valuable survey of the whole field of risk and demonstrates how scientific, economic, political and civil society actors can participate in inclusive risk governance.' Jobst Conrad, Senior Scientist, Social Science Research Center Berlin, Germany 'Renn offers a remarkably fair-minded and systematic approach to bringing together the diverse fields that have something to say about 'risk'. Risk Governance moves us along the path from the noisy, formative stage of thinking about risk to one with a stronger empirical, theoretical, and analytical foundation.' Baruch Fischhoff, PhD, Howard Heinz University Professor, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA 'I cannot describe how impressed I am at the breadth and coherence of Renn's career's work! Written with remarkable clarity and minimal technical jargon...[this] should be required reading in risk courses!'John Graham, former director of the Harvard Risk Center and former deputy director of the Office of Budget and Management of the Unites States Administration This book, for the first time, brings together and updates the groundbreaking work of renowned risk theorist and researcher Ortwin Renn, integrating the major disciplinary concepts of risk in the social, engineering and natural sciences. The book opens with the context of risk handling before flowing through the core topics of assessment, evaluation, perception, management and communication, culminating in a look at the transition from risk management to risk governance and a glimpse at a new understanding of risk in (post)modern societies.

«Jeg har tenkt å gjøre denne boka så morsom som jeg kan.» Det er utgangspunktet når John Cleese endelig har bestemt seg for å skrive om sitt mangslungne liv. Dette er historien om hvordan en høy, tynn unggutt fra Weston-super-Mare i sørvest-England ble en selverklært legende. På veien dit beskriver John Cleese de første nervepirrende sceneøyeblikkene, det mildt sagt avvikende familielivet, den første yrkeserfaringen som lærer i fag han ikke hadde peiling på og møtet med mannen som skulle bli skrivepartner i over tjue år, Graham Chapman. Reisen fortsatte med manusskriving for storkanoner som Peter Sellers, David Frost og Marty Feldman, for så å kulminere med etableringen av Monty Python. Underveis deler John Cleese sine tanker om komediens natur, vannskiens forbannelse, betydningen av å kunne den engelske kongerekken på rams og andre mer eller mindre vesentlige temaer. John Cleese er like slagferdig og humoristisk på trykk som i levende live og det er bare å glede seg for alle som setter pris på stor humor. " ... mannen er morsom - og hans utstrakte selvironi gjør dette til underholdende lesning" Sindre Hovdenakk, VG "Livlig, latterlig underholdende og til tider eksplosivt morsomt!" Sunday Express "Ofte hysterisk, av og til poetisk og alltid ettertenksom ... En morsom bragd." The Herald

En seriemorder er løs. Han biter, han kvester, han dreper på bestialsk vis. Han er den røde drage. En familie på fem blir funnet myrdet i sitt hjem. Ikke én har sluppet unna. Familien Leeds var vanlige, omgjengelige mennesker, som aldri hadde gjort noen fortred. Politiet står helt uten spor og motiv. Morderen slår til igjen. Fremgangsmåten er den samme. En hel familie er blitt slaktet ned, og alle speil i huset er knust.Politiet står fortsatt uten noen ledetråder. Og frykter at de ikke kan stoppe dette monsteret av en morder, som pressen har gitt kallenavnet Tannfeen.Morderen soler seg i glansen av førstesideoppslagene, TV-reportasjene, beskyldningene om politiets udugelighet.FBI-agent Will Graham kalles tilbake til aktiv tjeneste. Graham har en evne som få misunner ham: en uforklarlig forståelse for det som rører seg i syke sinn. Med uhyggelig innlevelse forutsier han psykopatens neste trekk. Den siste han fikk stoppet, doktor Hannibal Lecter, kostet ham nesten livet. Selv om Lecter sitter bak lås og slå er han livsfarlig.Lecter er genial; og med sin bakgrunn som psykiater er han nettopp den mannen Graham trenger. Han trenger assistanse fra en mann han vet han ikke kan stole på, fra en mann som spiser sine ofre.Kanskje gjør Graham sitt livs feilgrep da han oppsøker Lecter. Men hva annet har han å stille opp med mot en mann som tror han har en rød drage inni seg - personifiseringen av hans demoniske drifter?

Patrick Bateman er en på alle måter vellykket 26-åring fra New York. Men han er også drapsmann. En psykopatisk massemorder som mishandler og dreper med kaldt blod, på samme pedantiske måte som han utfører morgentoalettet. Romanen er et oppgjør med en livsstil og et samfunn på vei mot undergangen.

Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother's death, intent only on wrapping up that dismal part of her life. There is nothing here for her; she wonders if there ever was. The house of her childhood is stuffed full of useless things, her mother's presence already fading. And perhaps, had she not found the small stash of letters, the truth would never have come to light. 40 years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet but for the tireless wind that circles her as she hurries further into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea. She has no sense of where she is going, only that she must keep on. This compelling new novel confirms Graham Norton's status as a fresh, literary voice, bringing his clear-eyed understanding of human nature and its darkest flaws.
