The Life of Lee - Lee Evans - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Life of Lee - Lee Evans - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Lee Evans is one of the best-loved comedians in the country; a Hollywood star able to sell out arenas in the blink of eye. But he was not always such a roaring success. The Life of Lee is an utterly hilarious and very moving autobiography charting his ups and downs on the way to the top. Lee takes us on a darkly humorous journey through his childhood spent running wild on a Bristol housing estate, his unconventional school days and through a grim teenage period of numerous dead-end jobs. The book also reveals how as a boy Lee got his first taste of showbiz, accompanying his entertainer father around the rowdy, unforgiving working-men''s club and theatre circuit. Desperately struggling to be accepted, this quiet young loner always saw himself as an outsider. But he finally met the love of his life and accidentally discovered the one place where he felt at home: the stage.

The Bus Stop Killer - Geoffrey Wansell - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Bus Stop Killer - Geoffrey Wansell - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

You''ve seen Manhunt , now read Geoffrey Wansell''s chilling portrait of notorious serial killer Levi Bellfield- the only man in modern British legal history to be given two whole-life sentences. On 23 Jun 2011 the convicted double-murderer Levi Bellfield was found guilty of the murder of 13-year-old school girl Milly Dowler.Milly disappeared on her way home from school in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey in 2002. Six months later her body was discovered many miles away. A massive police investigation, the largest manhunt in Surrey''s history, got nowhere. Only when nightclub bouncer and bare-knuckle boxer Levi Bellfield was arrested for the murder of another young woman did it become clear to police that they had a serial killer on their hands. This is the full story of the murders, the victims and the pain-staking nine-year investigation and trial by police and prosecutors. It tells of Bellfield''s terrifying, controlling personality - a man who went from charming to monstrous in the blink of an eye - and his depraved stalking of young women. Geoffrey Wansell has been acknowledged as one of Britain''s leading authorities on serial killers. He was short-listed for the Whitbread Prize (now the Costa Book Award) for his biography of Terence Rattigan, and was appointed by the Official Solicitor to the Supreme Court to write the biography of Gloucester-based serial killer Frederick West.

Gut Feelings - Gerd Gigerenzer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gut Feelings - Gerd Gigerenzer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In Gut Feelings: Short Cuts to Better Decision Making psychologist and behavioural expert Gerd Gigerenzer reveals the secrets of fast and effective decision-making. A sportsman can catch a ball without calculating its speed or distance. A group of amateurs beat the experts at playing the stock market. A man falls for the right woman even though she''s ''wrong'' on paper. All these people succeeded by trusting their instincts - but how does it work? As Gerd Gigerenzer explains, in an uncertain world, sometimes we have to ignore too much information and rely on our brain''s ''short cut'', or heuristic. By explaining how intuition works and analyzing the techniques that people use to make good decisions - whether it''s in personnel selection or heart surgery - Gigerenzer will show you the hidden intelligence of the unconscious mind. ''Fascinating and provocative ... Gut Feelings may well be the recipe for a simpler, less stressful life'' Sunday Times ''Gigerenzer''s writing is catchily optimistic and slyly funny ... Devilish'' Steven Poole, Guardian ''The science behind the phenomenon cited in the bestseller Blink ... useful and clearly written'' Business Week ''Gigerenzer is brilliant'' Stephen Pinker Gerd Gigerenzer is Director of the Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin and former Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He has published two academic books on heuristics, Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart and Bounded Rationality: The Adaptive Toolbox as well as a popular science book, Reckoning with Risk .

The Last Four Things - Paul Hoffman - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Last Four Things - Paul Hoffman - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Last Four Things is the second in Paul Hoffman''s remarkable series. Death, Judgement, Heaven and HellThese are the Last Four Things Now there are FiveMeet Thomas CaleReturning to the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, Thomas Cale is told by the Lord Militant that the destruction of mankind is necessary; the only way to undo God''s greatest mistake.Cale seemingly accepts his role in the ending of the world: fate has painted him as the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Death. Absolute power is within his grasp, the terrifying zeal and military might of the Redeemers a weapon for him to handle as simply as he once used a knife.But perhaps not even the grim power that the Redeemers hold over Cale is enough - the boy who turns from love to poisonous hatred in a heartbeat, the boy who switches between kindness and sheer violence in the blink of an eye. The annihilation that the Redeemers seek may well be in Cale''s hands - but his soul is far stranger than they could ever know. The Last Four Things follows on from The Left Hand of God . It is the second instalment in a gripping trilogy by Paul Hoffman. Imagine if Phillip Pullman''s His Dark Materials met Umberto Eco''s Name of the Rose . Fans of epic heroic fiction will love this series. Praise for Paul Hoffman: ''This book gripped me from the first chapter and then dropped me days later, dazed and grinning to myself'' Conn Iggulden ''Tremendous momentum'' Daily Telegraph ''A cult classic . . .''

War of the Encyclopaedists - Gavin Kovite - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

War of the Encyclopaedists - Gavin Kovite - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A smart, fresh tale for the millenial generation - about going to university, going to war, and growing up It was the Friday before Independence Day and the twentysomethings of early-millennium Seattle were celebrating alcohol and freedom as they had done every Friday since time immemorial. On Fifteenth Avenue, in Capitol Hill, Mickey Montauk and Halifax Corderoy were hosting their sixth event as "The Encyclopaedists"... Meet Mickey Montauk and Halifax Corderoy. On their own, they are two kids kicking around town after the end of high school, getting drunk and high and waiting for life to begin. Together, for one glorious, immortal summer, they are the Encyclopaedists: infamous hosts of the wildest parties Seattle has ever seen. But what will happen when the summer ends?Autumn comes and life intervenes: the two friends find themselves flung worlds apart. Mickey''s National Guard unit are deployed abroad and Hal must take up his place at college in Boston. All that remains of their old life is their last great in-joke, a nonsensical Wikipedia entry about themselves, The Encyclopaedists.Out in Baghdad, Mickey finds himself in the middle of a brutal war that has no place for laid-back, sensitive youths or ironic webpages. Back in the US, Hal is marooned in the anonymity of the freshman college experience, rapidly realising the parties just aren''t the same without his old partner in crime. And on top of all the upheavel there is Mani, Hal''s bewitching, suddenly-homeless sort-of girlfriend...In their first year as adults, these three characters will be transformed into people they would never have recognised - and might not even have let through the door - on the eve of Independence Day on Capitol Hill.Razor-sharp, urgent and authentic, this is the story of a generation at a crossroads, staring down the barrel of adulthood and trying desperately not to blink. ''Extraordinary... An extremely moving story that feels as if it has something urgent to say about how we live now'' Sunday Times
