  Let's Look After the Worth of...

  'Let's Look After the Worth of the World' is a brilliantly written book about politics and economics, arguing from a left-wing perspective that modern life is unsustainable. This book is a wake-up call—a wake-up call for absolutely everybody in the whole world. We live in a world where most of the wealth is controlled by a few people, where we are all renting our existences from forces that control everything, and where they tell us to own nothing and be happy. Is this right? Add to this the negative effects of colour television and the media, and we have a world where it seems we are accelerating ever faster towards a cliff edge.
  
  In this book Majid Salim 'sounds the alarm'; he argues, with technical skill and heartfelt language, that something must change. It needs to be read by every decision-maker in every country. It is an inspiration for change, a justification for thinking differently. Everyone who reads it will start demanding action from their leaders and sympathising with the radical leftists who say our planet needs root and branch reform. 'Let's Look After the Worth of the World' will change you — it taps into the widely felt, but almost totally unrepresented, feelings the public have about radical Left solutions.

  The Curse of the Somers - The...

  The greatest controversy in the history of the US Navy of the early American Republic was the revelation that the son of the Secretary of War had seemingly plotted a bloody mutiny that would have turned the US brig Somers into a pirate ship. The plot discovered, he and his coconspirators were hastily condemned and hanged at sea. 
   
   
   
  The repercussions of those acts brought headlines, scandal, a fistfight at a cabinet meeting, a court martial, ruined lives, lost reputations, and tales of a haunted ship "bound for the devil" and lost tragically at sea with many of its crew. The "Somers affair" led to the founding of the US Naval Academy and it remains the Navy's only acknowledged mutiny in its history. The story also inspired Herman Melville's White-Jacket and Billy Budd. Others connected to the Somers included Commodore Perry, a relation and defender of the Somers's captain Mackenzie; James Fenimore Cooper, whose feud with the captain, dating back to the War of 1812, resurfaced in his reportage of the affair; and Raphael Semmes, the Somers's last captain, who later served in the Confederate Navy. 
   
   
   
  The Curse of the Somers is a thorough recreation of this classic tale, told with the help of recently uncovered evidence.

  Calling Detective Crockford

  This nostalgic and absorbing memoir tells the story of a real-life female police detective in post-war Britain, as she navigates a man's world. 
   
  It's 1956, and the Berkshire Constabulary has never had a woman detective before. That is, until bright and ambitious WPC Gwen Crockford passes out of Hendon Detective Training School with flying colours... 
   
  After five years serving as one of Britain's first policewomen, Gwen Crockford becomes one of its first female detectives. Swapping crime prevention for detection, she must soon become comfortable with attending murder scenes and post-mortems, investigating sex crimes and going undercover. Her police work is diverse and challenging: dealing with Teddy boy violence, arson, a paedophile 'war hero', and solving an unexplained death are all part of her remit. 
   
  Gwen is sharp and quick to learn, considered 'one of the boys' by her colleagues, DS Kinch and DS Le Mercier. Until, that is, the traumatizing death of a child, the arrival of a new sexist DS, and near-zero opportunity for promotion force Gwen to reevaluate her career. 
   
  Written and researched by Gwen's daughter Ruth from family papers, remembered stories from her mother and contemporary newspapers, this is a fascinating insight into late-1950s society and the challenges faced by female police officers. 
   
  This is the second book in the Crockford series, following Calling WPC Crockford – Gwen's time as a pioneering uniform policewoman in the early 1950s.
