Jeremy Hutchinson's Case Histories : From Lady Chatterley's Lover to Howard Marks Thomas Grant London: John Murray General Publishing Division, London [England, 2015

'Throughout a long career, [Jeremy Hutchinson's] brilliant and stylish advocacy achieved success in cases that looked unwinnable' Helena Kennedy 'Jeremy was not just a good lawyer; he was fearless in standing up to judges. He was the most formidable advocate of the 1960s and '70s and he had a marvellous sense of mischief' Geoffrey Robertson Born in 1915 into the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group, Jeremy Hutchinson went on to become the greatest criminal barrister of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. The cases of that period changed society for ever and Hutchinson's role in them was second to none. In Case Histories , Jeremy Hutchinson's most remarkable trials are examined, each one providing a fascinating look into Britain's post-war social, political and cultural history. Accessibly and entertainingly written, Case Histories provides a definitive account of Jeremy Hutchinson's life and work. From the sex and spying scandals which contributed to Harold Macmillan's resignation in 1963 and the subsequent fall of the Conservative government, to the fight against literary censorship through his defence of Lady Chatterley's Lover and Fanny Hill , Hutchinson was involved in many of the great trials of the period. He defended George Blake, Christine Keeler, Great Train robber Charlie Wilson, Kempton Bunton (the only man successfully to 'steal' a picture from the National Gallery), art 'faker' Tom Keating, and Howard Marks who, in a sensational defence, was acquitted of charges relating to the largest importation of cannabis in British history. He also prevented the suppression of Bernardo Bertolucci's notorious film Last Tango in Paris and did battle with Mary Whitehouse when she prosecuted the director of the play Romans in Britain . Above all else, Jeremy Hutchinson's career, both at the bar and later as a member of the House of Lords, has been one devoted to the preservation of individual liberty and to resisting the incursions of an overbearing state. Case Histories provides entertaining, vivid and revealing insights into what was really going on in those celebrated courtroom dramas that defined an age, as well as painting a picture of a remarkable life.

The Poison Tide Williams, Andrew, 1962- John Murray General Publishing Division, London, 2013

A tense story of a spy undercover during the First World War, Andrew Williams recreates the early years of the Secret Service as evocatively as anything by John le Carr? or Robert Harris. The Poison Tide is the first in a series of novels set in that world and 'possesses a richness of characterisation and intelligence that few thrillers can match' Sunday Times. 1915. German guns are on their way to Ireland. The British government faces its worst nightmare; insurrection at home while it struggles with bloody stalemate on the Western Front. British spy Sebastian Wolff, of the new Secret Service Bureau, is given the task of hunting down its enemies: one a traitor reviled by the society that honoured him as a national hero; the other a German-American doctor who, instead of healing the sick, is developing a terrifying new weapon that he will use in the country of his birth. Wolff's mission will take him undercover into the corridors of power in Berlin, then across the Atlantic in a race against time to prevent the destruction of the ships and supplies Britain so desperately needs to stave off defeat

What should we tell our daughters? : the pleasures and pressures of growing up female Benn, Melissa, author John Murray General Publishing Division; Hodder Paperback, UK ed., 2014

343 pages ; 24 cm We have reached a crossroads in modern women's lives and our collective daughters are bearing the brunt of some intolerable pressures. Although feminism has made great strides forward, many of the key issues - equality of pay, equality in the home, representation at senior level in the private, public and political sectors - remain to be tackled. Casual sexism in the media and in everyday life is still rife and our daughters face a host of new difficulties as they are bombarded by images of unrealistically skinny airbrushed supermodels and celebrities who depend on their looks and partners for status. This is a manifesto for every mother who has ever had to comfort a daughter who doesn't feel 'pretty', for every young woman who out-performs her male peers professionally and wonders why she is still not taken seriously, and for anyone interested in the world we are making for the next generation Originally published: London: John Murray, 2013 Includes bibliographical references and index

Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders (Oscar Wilde Mysteries 1) [Paperback] Brandreth G Gyles Daubeney Brandreth John Murray General Publishing Division, Large print ed, Bath, 2008

SUMMARY:London, 1889. Oscar Wilde, celebrated poet, wit, playwright and raconteur is the literary sensation of his age. All Europe lies at his feet. Yet when he chances across the naked corpse of sixteen-year-old Billy Wood, posed by candlelight in a dark stifling attic room, he cannot ignore the brutal murder. With the help of fellow author Arthur Conan Doyle he sets out to solve the crime - but it is Wilde's unparalleled access to all degrees of late Victorian life, from society drawing rooms and the bohemian demi-monde to the underclass, that will prove the decisive factor in their investigation of what turns out to be a series of brutal killings. The Oscar Wilde Murders is a gripping detective story of corruption and intrigue, of Wilde's growing success, of the breakdown of his marriage, and of his fatal friendship with Aidan Fraser, Inspector at Scotland Yard.... Set against the exotic background of fin-de-siecle London, Paris, Oxford and Edinburgh, Gyles Brandreth recreates Oscar Wilde's trademark sardonic wit with huge flair, intertwining all the intrigue of the classic English murder mystery with a compelling portrait of one of the greatest characters of the Victorian age.

Why should you worry when customer services pay attention to your needs? Beginning with examples of the matheamatician who outpredicted wine bluffs in determining the best vintages, and the sports scouts who now use statistics rather than intuition to pick winners, Super Crunchers exposes the hidden patterns all around us. No businessperson, academic, student, or consumer (statistically that's everyone) should make another move without getting to grips with thinking-by-numbers -- the new way to be smart, savvy and statistically superior--From publisher description

Your case is hopeless : bracing advice from the Boy's Own Paper Sabbagh, Karl London : Hodder Murray, First Edition, PS, 2007

Where did the Victorian boy go for answers to his embarrassing problems? That stammer that people made fun of; the bare upper lip when every other boy seemed to be growing a luxuriant moustache. Who could he ask about those troubling thoughts that led to unspeakable temptations? Or about the rabbit or parrot or hamster that seemed on the point of dying for no obvious reason? All these and many more were the questions that the tireless editor of The Boy's Own Paper was faced with in daily sacks of mail, often including parcels of birds' eggs and beetles for identification which the Post Office had crushed beyond recognition. This highly entertaining selection of answers to problems published in The BOP between 1879 and 1900 gives a unique glimpse into the secret worries of Victorian boys, and the brisk, sometimes cruel, ever-amusing way they were dealt with.

Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders (Oscar Wilde Mysteries 1) [Paperback] Brandreth G Gyles Daubeney Brandreth John Murray General Publishing Division, Large print ed, Bath, 2008

SUMMARY:London, 1889. Oscar Wilde, celebrated poet, wit, playwright and raconteur is the literary sensation of his age. All Europe lies at his feet. Yet when he chances across the naked corpse of sixteen-year-old Billy Wood, posed by candlelight in a dark stifling attic room, he cannot ignore the brutal murder. With the help of fellow author Arthur Conan Doyle he sets out to solve the crime - but it is Wilde's unparalleled access to all degrees of late Victorian life, from society drawing rooms and the bohemian demi-monde to the underclass, that will prove the decisive factor in their investigation of what turns out to be a series of brutal killings. The Oscar Wilde Murders is a gripping detective story of corruption and intrigue, of Wilde's growing success, of the breakdown of his marriage, and of his fatal friendship with Aidan Fraser, Inspector at Scotland Yard.... Set against the exotic background of fin-de-siecle London, Paris, Oxford and Edinburgh, Gyles Brandreth recreates Oscar Wilde's trademark sardonic wit with huge flair, intertwining all the intrigue of the classic English murder mystery with a compelling portrait of one of the greatest characters of the Victorian age.

Dancing on the grave : encounters with death Barley, Nigel. John Murray General Publishing Division, September 14, 1995

Dancing On The Grave Takes A Fresh Look At The Astonishing Variety Of Ways In Which Cultures Around The World Have Handled Death And Given It Meaning. Some Cultures, Most Famously Ancient Egypt, Have Virtually Bankrupted Themselves To Deal Adequately With The Death Of A Single Person. Others, Such As The Nomadic Peoples Of Southern Africa, Have Done Little More Than Simply Pull Down The Roof On To The Corpse And Walk Away, While Wrapped Bodies In Torajan Houses Are Used As Handy Shelves To Store Cassettes. Expertly Guiding The Reader Through Such Diverse Areas As Myths About Death, Beliefs About Ways To Mourn, Joking At Funerals, Post-mortem Videos, Cannibalism, Headhunting And Royal Mortuary Ritual, Nigel Barley Shows How Even The Most Exotic Can Be Related To Broader Themes Relevant To Us All. Both Personal And, As One Would Expect Of This Author, Wittily Exploratory, Dancing On The Grave Gives An Account Of Mortality That Is Far From Depressing, Is Indeed A Celebration Of Human Ingenuity.--book Jacket.
