The gripping, jaw-dropping rise and fall of Sir Philip Green, the self-styled 'king of the high street'.
Sir Philip Green is no stranger to scandal. He was once hailed one of Britain's best businessmen and had prime ministers and supermodels on speed dial. But his reputation came crashing down when Oliver Shah uncovered the truth behind his doomed BHS deal.
The collapse of British Home Stores left 11,000 employees without jobs and put 20,000 people's pensions at risk. Green eventually paid £363m towards the company's £571m pension deficit, but it wasn't long before he found himself in trouble again. In October 2018, Green was named as the business figure at the heart of Britain's #MeToo scandal. With accusations of sexual and racial harassment flooding the press, and with Topshop's pension deficit rising to almost double the figure that toppled BHS, can the retail tycoon survive yet another scandal?
In Damaged Goods, Oliver Shah, the award-winning journalist who first broke the BHS story, shines a light on Green's past and his uncertain future; this is the extraordinary account of the retail magnate Sir Philip Green's fall from grace.

New parents Pi and Cordelia have been enjoying a period of quiet since their last run-in with the reef's resident shark Troy.
Seeing an opportunity to kidnap Cordelia, Troy sends his loyal factotum Ronny into the community to distract Pi and the rest of his friends and neighbours while he concocts his plan of revenge.
But with Pi weary of strangers coming to the reef, it isn't long before he recognises Ronny's real intent and so sets about stopping Troy once and for all...
Analytical Techniques in Biosciences: From Basics to Applications
presents comprehensive and up-to-date information on the various
analytical techniques obtainable in bioscience research
laboratories across the world. This book contains chapters that
discuss the basic bioanalytical protocols and sample preparation
guidelines. Commonly encountered analytical techniques, their
working principles, and applications were presented. Techniques,
considered in this book, include centrifugation techniques,
electrophoretic techniques, chromatography, titrimetry,
spectrometry, and hyphenated techniques. Subsequent chapters
emphasize molecular weight determination and electroanalytical
techniques, biosensors, and enzyme assay protocols. Other chapters
detail microbial techniques, statistical methods, computational
modeling, and immunology and immunochemistry. The book draws from
experts from key institutions around the globe, who have simplified
the chapters in a way that will be useful to early-stage
researchers as well as advanced scientists. It is also carefully
structured and integrated sequentially to aid flow, consistency,
and continuity. This is a must-have reference for graduate students
and researchers in the field of biosciences.
Fungi Bio-prospects in Sustainable Agriculture, Environment and
Nanotechnology, Volume Two: Extremophilic Fungi and Myco-mediated
Environmental Management explores varied aspects of fungal biology
and their relevance in microbiology and agriculture, thus allowing
for better insights on basic and advanced biotechnological
application in human welfare and sustainable agriculture. Chapters
throw light on different sectors of fungi, including fungi in
extreme circumstances, bioremediation, complex and toxic effluents,
and mycoremediation. The book was designed to explore the
possibility of huge fungal diversity for present and future
generation in different sectors of human life. Volume Two focuses
on extremophilic fungi and myco-mediated environmental management.
A comprehensive text that looks at respiratory disorders in
general, but concentrates on those that are more prevalent in
tropical regions. The text is extremely well-illustrated and
provides a comprehensive view of different respiratory diseases. A
highlight of the book is the discussion on the threat of pulmonary
tuberculosis and its unsolved challenges. The epidemiology, the
subtle variation in clinical presentation, and the natural history
of respiratory diseases in regional contexts have been clearly
emphasized. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and
updated. Prevailing concepts in lung cancer, asthma, interstitial
lung disease, and several other diseases have been discussed at
length. The section on newer diagnostic aids involving genetic and
molecular biology, has been extensively revised. Every chapter of
every section is illustrated wherever necessary with high-quality
images contributing to a better understanding of the text.
In the United States and Europe, an increasing emphasis on equality
has pitted rights claims against each other, raising profound
philosophical, moral, legal, and political questions about the
meaning and reach of religious liberty. Nowhere has this conflict
been more salient than in the debate between claims of religious
freedom, on one hand, and equal rights claims made on the behalf of
members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
community, on the other. As new rights for LGBT individuals have
expanded in liberal democracies across the West, longstanding
rights of religious freedom - such as the rights of religious
communities to adhere to their fundamental teachings, including
protecting the rights of conscience; the rights of parents to
impart their religious beliefs to their children; and the liberty
to advance religiously-based moral arguments as a rationale for
laws - have suffered a corresponding decline. Timothy Samuel Shah,
Thomas F. Farr, and Jack Friedman's volume, Religious Freedom and
Gay Rights brings together some of the world's leading thinkers on
religion, morality, politics, and law to analyze the emerging
tensions between religious freedom and gay rights in three key
geographic regions: the United States, the United Kingdom, and
continental Europe. What implications will expanding regimes of
equality rights for LGBT individuals have on religious freedom in
these regions? What are the legal and moral frameworks that govern
tensions between gay rights and religious freedom? How are these
tensions illustrated in particular legal, political, and policy
controversies? And what is the proper way to balance new claims of
equality against existing claims for freedom of religious groups
and individuals? Religious Freedom and Gay Rights offers several
explorations of these questions.

Horror in which a clinical trial at a remote facility goes terribly
wrong. Among those who sign up to test ProSyntrex's latest drug
Pro9 are Adam (Aneurin Barnard), Joni (Alex Reid), Carmen (Skye
Lourie) and Jed (Oliver Coleman). The trial is highly secret, with
no-one, including the staff who administer injections, aware of who
is receiving the drug and who is in the placebo group. Shortly
after the trial begins it becomes clear that something has gone
wrong. There are unexplained disappearances, bizarre silhouettes
and screaming from behind locked doors. Locked inside the facility,
unaware of the true nature of events, the surviving patients and
staff must band together to try and find a way out of the
nightmare.
