The classic, bestselling account of the infamous Kray twins, now a
major film, starring Tom Hardy. Reggie and Ronnie Kray ruled
London's gangland during the 60s with a ruthlessness and
viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of organised
crime that has never been matched, the brothers swindled, extorted
and terrorised - while enjoying a glittering celebrity status at
the heart of the swinging 60s scene, until their downfall and
imprisonment for life.
For over fifty years James Biggles Worth, D.S.O., D.F.C., M.C., has
flown the skies. The mythical ace to end all flying aces, the
fearless pilot of everything from Sop with Camels to the earliest
jets, he emerged with glory from devilish scrapes all over the
world. Yet until now Biggles has often been seen as a storybook
caricature. A dashed fine chap, certainly, but not the
extraordinary man he really was. Here, for the first time, is an
insight into the 'real' man who made these adventures possible. In
Biggles, his fictional biography, first published in 1978, John
Pearson has unravelled the missing strands in Biggles' life;
delving vigorously into subjects that were once taboo. Why did
Biggles never marry? What was the truth about his tragic first
love? And what were Biggles' real regrets and frustrations as he
tried to come to terms with a rapidly developing world in
peacetime? The truth - so long hidden behind a stiff upper lip and
an equally stiff pink gin in the Officers' Mess - is at last
revealed.

The Morrison Hotel anthology written by Leah Moore, in
collaboration with the surviving members of the legendary rock band
and drawn by artists from around the comic book world, will weave
the band's influence into some of the lore that led to their status
as the architects of counterculture, influencing artists, poets,
and outsiders for generations to come, set against the backdrop of
the close of the free spirit of the 1960s into the tumultuous
1970s. A decade in which women, African Americans, Native
Americans, gays, lesbians and other marginalized people continued
their fight for equality, and many Americans joined the protest
against the ongoing war in Vietnam.

major film, starring Tom Hardy. Reggie and Ronnie Kray ruled
London's gangland during the 60s with a ruthlessness and
viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of organised

and terrorised - while enjoying a glittering celebrity status at
the heart of the swinging 60s scene, until their downfall and
imprisonment for life.
John Pearson, author of the bestselling definitive book on the
Krays, THE PROFESSION OF VIOLENCE, re-examines the bizarre and
frightening story of the Kray twins including new revelations about
their criminal past, trial and their extraordinary activities in
gaol. John Pearson knows more about the Krays than anyone alive.
His book THE PROFESSION OF VIOLENCE was published 28 years ago to
huge acclaim and is still in print today in paperback. The Krays
film was based on the book and it was Pearson who exposed the
Boothby connection in 1994. In 1967, the year before they were
arrested, the twins asked Pearson to write their biography. He
remained a confidant of the family and the brothers throughout
their trial and prison years. Reg was in prison for 33 years
although the judge recommended 30 years and was only released when
he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer and given weeks to live.
Using the trail as the fulcrum for the narrative, Pearson, in this
completely new book, will revisit the twins criminal past,
including a raft of new material hitherto unpublished. The trial
will be re-examined (he still has contact with the living trial
lawyers) and he will look at their time in gaol (including Ronnie's
bizarre life in Broadmore) and examine what it is about the Krays
which, at the time and over the next thirty years, made them
'criminal celebrities'. On the one hand they were pursued by a
fascinated media who wanted to re-create these two brutal murderers
as folk heroes, and on the other they were demonised by an
establishment ashamed of the way it had embraced them. Pearson will
examine just why successive Home Secretaries found it too
unpalatable to release the twins when so many other less
well-known, but possibly more unsavoury murderers and criminals,
were released after serving a fraction of their time. This is a
timely book and, with Reg's death, Pearson is now at liberty to
tell the whole amazing, fascinating story.

This is the third of three volumes of "Keys to the Trematoda," a
series on the systematics and identification of the Class
Trematoda. It covers five superfamilies with the Order
"Plagiorchiida" and the family "Didymozoidae," with the keys for
their identification at the family, subfamily and generic levels.
It also includes a key to all dignean superfamilies, including
those treated in detail in volumes one and two.
First published in 1859, as the second edition of an 1849 original,
this book contains the text of Bishop John Pearson's 1669
meditation on the Apostles' Creed. Pearson takes the Creed article
by article, examining the history and spiritual message of each
tenet in depth with many scriptural and patristic references. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Christianity.
