| Synopsis: |
Although the Mafia may take it omerta (code of silence) seriously, 101 Things You Didnt Know About the Mafia spills the beans. From what it really means to become a "made man," to why an unfortunate fellow could find himself saddled with cement shoes, this entertaining book dishes out the dirt! Readers learn about Dutch Schultz's spiritual streak, Al Capone's crime fighting brother, Frank Sinatra's bid to star in The Godfather, and more. |

Solar
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different.

Molotov's Magic Lantern
When Rachel Polonsky went to live in Moscow, she found an apartment block in Romanov Street. One apartment had been Vyacheslav Molotov's, Stalin's henchman. Molotov was ruthless - and an ardent bibliophile. Rachel visited cities and landscapes associated with the books in his library. In each place, she encountered the spirit of great artists such as Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova - and the terrible past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism.

Love Bites
Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed, Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one of the funniest.
