Stranger than Paradise
Not just another 9/11 book, this controversial United Kingdom bestseller is for those who are trying to understand why America is a target for hate. The authors explore the global impact of America's foreign policy, corporate power, and the TV and Hollywood machine. "American corporations and popular culture affect the lives and infect the indigenous cultures of millions around the world. The foreign policy of the U.S. government, backed by its military strength, has unprecedented global influence now that the USA is the world's only superpower - its first 'hyperpower.'" "America also exports its value systems, defining what it means to be civilised, rational, developed and democratic - indeed, what it is to be human.

After the devastating events recounted in THE TIN ROOF BLOWDOWN, Dave Robicheaux and his ex-partner in Homicide, Clete Purcel, head for the mountains and trout streams of Montana for some much-needed healing. However, while Montana might seem an unspoilt paradise peopled by men and women from an earlier, more innocent time in American history, Dave and Clete soon find that there are plenty of serpents in the garden too.

There has been a quiet revolution in country gardens, with country dwellers creating exciting new outside spaces. Plants remain at the heart of these gardens, but are used in strikingly new ways - with a wild mix of height, scale and colour. Traditional cottage garden flowers meet bold, architectural plants; evergreens come in new, graphic shapes; colour accents are stronger. The book explores the themes that characterize the new country garden. In A Plant Lover's Paradise, the cottage garden has been given a bold new look, while New Formal Gardens are elegantly modern. Family Gardens are flexible spaces where children's play harmonizes with adults' relaxation, and in Wildlife Gardens, grasses and wildflowers flourish beautifully.
