Weimar Cities explores Germany's efforts to come to grips with its
great cities after World War I; by extension the book measures the
feasibility of the postwar experiment that was the Weimar Republic.
The book focuses particularly on the weakness, both local and
national, that resulted from the disjunct between the cities'
perceived and actual power.

Zoonotic diseases constitute a public health problem throughout the
world. Addressing a little studied area of veterinary and medical
science, this book covers the viruses, bacteria and protozoan and
helminth parasites that are transmitted between man and dogs,
discussing population management, control disease agents and
human-dog relationships. Fully updated throughout, this new edition
also includes two new chapters on benefits of the human-dog
relationship and non-infectious disease issues with dogs. It is a
valuable resource for researchers and students of veterinary and
human medicine, microbiology, parasitology and public health.
FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY John Le Carre: "This novel comprises some
of the best work of an extremely gifted and perhaps under-regarded
British crime novelist . . . What gave John Bingham his magic was
something we look for in every writer, too often in vain: an
absolute command of the internal landscape of his characters,
acutely observed by a humane but wonderfully corrosive eye."
Michael Sibley and John Prosset shared a history that dated back to
their first years at boarding school, and so the news of Prosset's
murder came as a great shock to his old friend - especially because
Sibley had been staying only the day before at Prosset's country
house, where the body was found. When the police arrive to question
him in connection with the murder, Sibley finds himself lying about
his recent visit, and thus begins to reveal the true nature of a
longstanding but volatile friendship, fraught with mutual deception
and distrust. As he tells his version of the truth to the police -
and to the reader - Sibley makes the first of many fateful mistakes
and finds himself not only under suspicion, but a primary suspect
in the investigation. Seen through the eyes of Sibley himself, My
Name Is Michael Sibley is a mesmerizing account of murder, as the
narrator purposefully attempts to elude the police and prove his
innocence to the reader in the same breath.
