THE EXPLOSIVE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
With all-new excerpts from Richard Clarke's dramatic public testimony, and revealing corroboration from The 9/11 Commission Report
From the 9/11 Commission Report:
"On the day of the meeting September 4, 2001], Clarke sent Rice an impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counterterrorism efforts past and present. The 'real question' before the principals, he wrote, was 'are we serious about dealing with the al Qida threat?...Is al Qida a big deal?..."Decision makers should imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeeded in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in several countries, including the US, '" Clarke wrote. 'What would those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future day could happen at any time.'"

The book reveals the changing dynamics of the helium industry on both the supply-side and the demand-side. The helium industry has a long-term future and this important gas will have a role to play for many decades to come. Major new users of helium are expected to enter the market, especially in nuclear energy (both fission and fusion). Prices and volumes supplied and expected to rise and this will prompt greater efforts towards the development of new helium sources and helium conservation and recycling.

An illustrated and highly practical guide to the technique of making collagraphs. Collagraphs are prints that can be made in a number of ways: from collages, relief sculpture, caste plaster plates, carved, stripped and layered plates, plates painted with glues or even from a combination of all these methods. The flexibility of this process means that it is one of the most fluid approaches to printmaking which gives you greater creative freedom than other methods. In this book, explore a wide range of techniques with practical hints about choosing materials and printing methods to achieve the best results. You can also learn all about the historical use of collage in printmaking, looking at the work of artists like Picasso, Georges Braque and Kurt Schwitters. With illustrations of the work of many different British and international collagraph artists, this book is the perfect practical and inspirational guide for printmakers of all levels.

Tracing the history of female crime and execution from 1726 to 1955, Women and the Noose presents the cases of over fifty women who met their end on the hangman's gallows. From the criminal act to the execution day itself, the women's stories illustrate the range of crimes punishable by execution such as petty theft and murder, as well as reactions to the death sentence, including 'pleading the belly' as a defence. Richard Clark also discusses the developments in execution methods, from burning at the stake to the short-and long-drop; and the move from the very public hangings to the more dignified private events. Clark's frank treatment of the executions combined with sympathetic revelations about the women's private lives makes Women and the Noose a chilling and surprisingly moving read.
