Italy, a Glorious Shambles
Italy is a unique country. This book combines, in an empathetic and amusing manner, the author's 40 years of personal experience and observation of life in Italy, with an incisive social commentary.It examines the impact of recent historical events and the country's fascist legacy, which remains of great pertinence today, for both Italy and beyond.Italians project the impression of being comfortable in their own skin. Life is to be enjoyed, simply and fully - as has been said: 'They just seem to do life better than we do'. This remark conveys perfectly Italians' wonderful ability to cope with anything that is thrown at them: tomorrow is another day. The book also explores the time-wasting and, often, positively absurd ways in which Italians must deal with the administrative aspects of everyday life. As a result, they have become past masters in creativity for social and economic survival.Finally, many personal observations document the innate generosity - in terms of attitudes, values, judgement and kindness - of Italians. Such a capacity accounts, to a large extent, for their spontaneous ability to simplify life and to facilitate interactions at all levels.

The Car Lover's Guide to London
"Randall's book is no ordinary text about automobiles; it combines a love of cars with references to buildings and spaces that played a part in London's motoring history... this enjoyable read may have a niche audience, but it makes a fun addition to displays and collections." -- Library JournalThere are plenty of ways to delve into the history of a city like London, but it's not often done through the world of the motor car. But that's exactly what Chris Randall has done, exploring the links between the capital and its automotive past.That makes this book a somewhat unique approach to the subject, and readers will discover a fascinating history that involves some of the most famous names in motoring. Enthusiasts will certainly recognise the likes of Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls-Royce but amongst those are names that might be less familiar today.The buildings that you'll find within this book all exist today, which means you can see the motoring history for yourself. Some are now famous restaurants, others are offices and a few are private homes, but what they all have in common is the automobile and for those that love all things four-wheeled there are some real treasures to be found.Illustrated with photographs that show you what those places look like today, along with how some of them appeared in their motoring heyday, this is a very different look at the history of the famous city. It's played a part in the very earliest days of the automobile's story, and that's something this books sets out to celebrate.

Ierapetra, or His Sister's Keeper, is a man's attempt to overcome grief and guilt through storytelling. Reiner, now retired in the Berkshires, reminisces about the times he spent with his younger sister, Monika, who succumbed to cancer in her early fifties. His memory centers around traumatic events during a trip he took with her to Crete in the 1960s, which left Monika with emotional scars and Reiner with a perpetual feeling of insufficiency and guilt.Between glimpses of its ancient cultures, Crete comes to life in its spectacular atmospheric light. Its own brand of Greek island music and the vitality of its people are shaped by European echoes of the Vietnam protests and hippies flooding pristine beaches. The siblings' ensuing trajectories take them through Europe against the background of Chernobyl, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the completion of the Chunnel and the advent of the Internet. In the final chapters, set in Barcelona after his sister's demise, the growing tension between the truth and Reiner's revisionist history leads to a breaking point.
