Throughout an astonishing criminal career, Johnny Ramensky was the foremost safe-blower of his era. His exploits and audacious escapes from maximum security prisons also helped make him a household name - admired by some, notorious to others. But when the Second World War broke out, Ramensky joined the elite Commandos and his story became legend. Peacetime had brought Johnny Ramensky a hard upbringing in the Gorbals, a life of crime and long years in jail. War brought him the chance to serve his country and a new use for his expertise in explosives. Time after time he would show exceptional bravery as he was parachuted behind enemy lines to blow open the safes of Rommel, Goering and the German High Command. His mission was to secure documents vital to the war effort and it brought him the danger and excitement he had always craved. Gentle Johnny Ramensky is the remarkable story of a boy reared in poverty who became one of the world's most extraordinary safe-blowers both as a criminal and as a war hero who wore the Green Beret with pride.

This is a comprehensive photographic journey through the rich and vibrant history of Glasgow. It is fully-illustrated throughout with almost 400 photographs. The POS is available, reviews in local press and history magazines.Glasgow is a city that has seen great change. Once the second city of the Empire, it was in 1999 chosen as the UK City of Architecture and Design. Beneath the veil of industrial grime, it would seem, was a place of incredible beauty. In this stunning guide to the city, re-released in paperback due to popular demand, authors Robert Jeffrey and Ian Johnson illustrate the history of this transformation. This is a nostalgic look at Glasgow as it used to be, the Dear Green Place that still sits so fondly in the hearts of so many.
The true story of one of Glasgow's most controversial detectives and his battle with the criminals and violent street gangs of the city Two children lay dead on the floor. Beside them was a hammer and the ceiling was splattered with blood from the fatal blows. Even to a hardened detective, it was the kind of sight that would stay with you to the grave. This was Glasgow and the initial crime that led to the killings was as petty as the crime scene was horrific - the theft of a TV set. This was just one case among hundreds investigated by Les Brown, one of the most experienced and controversial detectives in a force charged with policing the city known as the Chicago of north-west Europe. Glasgow Crimefighter tells the inside story of cases and criminals who have written themselves into the history of a city where brawling is said to be in the blood. Down the years, the stories of many of the Glasgow godfathers and gangsters have appeared in lurid headlines and in books and articles. This is a different view - a rare and intensely human insight into what it was like on the other side of the law and it is told by someone who was just as hard as the men and women he hunted down.This is what it was like to be on the frontline in the war against crimes such as murder, fraud, rape, moneylending and prostitution, and having to deal with violent street gangs on a daily basis. Throughout his amazing career, Les Brown was in the thick of the action and here he gives the insider's view on many of the aspects of his work - the success stories and the failures of the controversial Special Unit, the drama of famous trials and his tangling with notorious gangland figures like Arthur Thompson.
Robert Jeffrey, author of the bestselling "Barlinnie Story" and other true crime books, now tells the remarkable story of the infamous Peterhead Prison in Scotland's far north-east. Built in the 1880s as part of an ambitious humanitarian plan to use convict labour to construct a 'harbour of refuge' on the town's wild, storm-battered coast, it became what some call Scotland's gulag. A cold and brutal place, it has held down the years some of Scotland's most violent criminals and most infamous prisoners, convicted of the most heinous of crimes. In the early days, convicts were controlled by men as hard as their charges. The wardens carried swords and were quick to use them if necessary. And when convict labour was used to build the harbour, they worked with rifles trained on them at all times. Peterhead's wardens were clearly not to be crossed. Throughout the history of the prison, riots and breakouts have made headlines, with the SAS involved in restoring order at one point. Peterhead also had the reputation of being so secure that escape was impossible, with the notable exception of Johnny Ramensky, the safeblower turned war hero who went back to his criminal ways and spent more than forty years of his life in prison, many of them in Peterhead. He became the first inmate to escape and repeated the exercise four more times, often for his own satisfaction and amusement, each time being recaptured after a short taste of freedom. "Peterhead - Scotland's Toughest Prison" tells the remarkable inside story of a truly grim institution with a fearsome reputation.
Scotland has a worldwide reputation for launching some of the greatest ships ever built, but far less is known about our pioneering work on aviation. Yet in the great industrial cities and remote islands across the country, men and women risked their reputations, resources and lives to advance experiments in flight. Before airliners crossed the Atlantic Ocean and bombers secretly flew into the NATO airbase at Machrihanish, pioneers of aviation worked in the unlikely surroundings of Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow among other places. Their humble flying crafts, made with wood and canvas, would become the luxurious jet-engined aircraft of today. Including the first flight over Everest, the construction of the most northerly airship station in mainland Britain and the experience of civilians and pilots during the Clydebank Blitz of 1941, Scotland's Wings is a glimpse into the dramatic and sometimes controversial adventures within Scottish aeronautics. In Scotland's Wings, Robert Jeffrey tells a fascinating history, highlighting innovators whose ideas heralded the modern age of transport and revealing how the airfields of previous years will once again be used to progress into a daring new age of travel.

This book provides unique insights into the issues that drive modified dosing regimens for antibiotics in the critically ill. Leading international authors provide their commentary alongside a summary of existing evidence on how to effectively dose antibiotics. Severe infection frequently necessitates admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Equally, nosocomial sepsis often complicates the clinical course in ICU. Early, appropriate application of antibiotic therapy remains a cornerstone of effective management. However, this is challenging in the critical care environment, given the significant changes in patient physiology and organ function frequently encountered. Being cognisant of these factors, prescribers need to consider modified dosing regimens, not only to ensure adequate drug exposure, and therefore the greatest chance of clinical cure, but also to avoid encouraging drug resistance.
