Dr. William Sargant ran a lucrative private practice and published multiple books on psychiatry, and he was awarded the Starkey medal and prize by the Royal Society of Health for his work on psychiatric medicine. But what he was best known for was the apogee of his career: the Sleep Room in Ward Five. This was a dark gallery where patients selected by Sargant were subjected to deep narcosis, sleeping for more than twenty-one hours per day for weeks at a time, and roused only for sessions of electroconvulsive therapy.

George Downing came of age as a Puritan pioneer in colonial Massachusetts, before crossing the Atlantic to sign up for the English Civil War. He fast became Oliver Cromwell's chief of military intelligence and was later a diplomat and an MP. However, Downing spectacularly switched sides, shamelessly betraying his friends. He prospered under Charles II, yet he remains one of the most elusive figures of his age. In Turncoat he emerges as the extraordinary — if troubling — anti-hero of his own life story.

Reporterskie śledztwo podążające „ścieżką szczurów" znaną z „Akt Odessy". Autor, poszukując związków pomiędzy III Rzeszą a dyktaturami południowoamerykańskimi, staje w progu bezpiecznej kryjówki jednego z najbardziej poszukiwanych i nigdy nieodnalezionych niemieckich nazistów, Josefa Mengelego – zwanego „Aniołem Śmierci" lub „Mefisto z Auschwitz". Ilu podobnych do niego, choć mniej znanych, uniknęło międzynarodowej sprawiedliwości po II wojnie światowej? Ilu powróciło po latach do Niemiec ze złotem zrabowanym ofiarom hitlerowskiego terroru?

Una provetta di gas radioattivo lanciata in una fontana, un'intuizione improvvisa davanti a un semaforo londinese, la scoperta - quasi per caso - che l'atomo può spaccarsi. Sembrano episodi scollegati. E invece sono le prime scosse di un terremoto che cambierà il mondo: l'esplosione della bomba atomica. Tra le tessere del domino allineate in attesa di innescare la serie di eventi che condurranno a Hiroshima e Nagasaki, tre figure spiccano su tutte. Enrico Fermi, mente pragmatica e geniale, che porterà la scienza italiana nel cuore del Progetto Manhattan.

Richard III is one of the most mysterious figures in English history, and as such is the source of perennial fascination.

This new edition of a classic royal biography includes an account of the discovery of Richard’s remains in a Leicester car park in September 2012 and what his skeleton revealed about the physical condition of the last Plantagenet and the manner of his death.

After I'd got him out of harm's way, I dived back in yet again and swam out past the surf-break, out to where the other two lads were floundering. Then, one at a time, I took them back onto the rocks – all done against the raging rip and wild surf. By then an hour or so had passed. Still, severe cuts, bruises and abrasions aside, I'd successfully saved the lives of the four young people who, in all probability, would've otherwise drowned.

The reason for the publication of this book is twofold. First, to put into a documentary account of the family stories that I have heard in my lifetime so that future generations will have knowledge of them.

Migrating to San Francisco after the gold rush, Spreckels built the largest sugar beet factory of its kind in the United States. When Spreckels gave America its first sugar cube, he became the “Sugar King.” The indomitable Spreckels was a colorful and complicated character on both sides of the Pacific.

Huseby bruk var i början av 1900-talet Smålands mäktigaste egendom, masugnens eld dånade, skogen och jorden bar rikedom till familjen Stephens. Det var i denna ljusa tillvaro Florence växte upp. Men livet igenom hade hon en stor svaghet–sin starka kärlek till kungahuset–och hon blev ett lätt offer när ögonstenen prins Carl och hans skrupelfria vän gjorde entré. Det tog inte många år förrän Florence var barskrapad och Huseby bruk stod på ruinens brant. ”Husebysaken” blev en av de skandaler som skakade Sverige på femtiotalet. Florence Stephens förtrollade värld sjönk sakta ner i mörkret.
