Summary

"It isn't half such a crazy place as it's made out to be. I know two- three people in Hollywood that are part sane."
A talking gorilla called Cyril who graduated from Oxford University; a sword-wielding diva driven crazy by her orange juice diet; an English milord swapping bodies with a gobby 12 year-old film star – these are screwball plots even by P. G. 'Plum' Wodehouse's brilliant comic standards. But not so surprising when we learn they take place in "the weirdest place" he had ever worked – Hollywood.
Paul Kent's eighth essay on matters Wodehousean is a backstage pass to "Dottyville-on-the-Pacific's" Golden Age in the 1930's, replete with glamour, glitter and the monstrous egos of its biggest movers and shakers. You'll be SHOCKED! You'll be THRILLED! – but above all, you'll be ENTERTAINED!

    This book consists of two titles, which are: 
    Border Control: In today’s interconnected world, the challenge of managing borders has become one of the most contentious issues facing governments, societies, and international organizations. Border control, at its core, is a delicate balance between maintaining national security and upholding human rights, between enforcing laws and fostering economic opportunities. As global mobility increases through migration, trade, and technology, managing borders has evolved into a complex issue that transcends national boundaries. It’s no longer just a matter of controlling who enters and exits a country; it’s about managing flows of people, goods, information, and even ideas in ways that protect citizens while also adhering to international law.  
    Refugees: The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions.
