When, early in 1940, an important Soviet defector provided hints to British Intelligence about spies within the country''s institutions, MI5''s report was intercepted by a Soviet agent in the Home Office... She alerted her lover, Isaiah Berlin, and Berlin''s friend, Guy Burgess, whereupon the pair initiated a rapid counter-attack. Burgess contrived a reason for the two of them to visit the Soviet Union, which was then an ally of Nazi Germany, in order to alert his bosses of the threat and protect the infamous ''Cambridge Spies''.The story of this extraordinary escapade, hitherto ignored by the historians, lies at the heart of a thorough and scholarly expose of MI5''s constitutional inability to resist communist infiltration of Britain''s corridors of power and its later attempt to cover up its negligence. This book will be of interest to all students of history, international relations, espionage and civil, national and international security.

A Trace of Sun is, in part, inspired by the author's own family experiences.

What if you could stay young forever? What if you never had to grow old? Ben has no qualms about signing up for the Evergreens project, a controversial new trial.

Smell is arguably the least understood sense, yet it has always been a vital component of the human experience, and that of all living creatures.It has been used by plants and animals for millions of years to warn, to attract, to identify, to navigate and even to mislead. Smelling to Survive explains some of these fascinating processes, and explores how the past would have smelt quite different to our ancestors, and how future technologies will further change the world of scents.Along the way, leading scientist Bill S. Hansson recounts amazing stories from the world of olfactory research: from the tobacco plant that excretes an alarm odour, to mosquitos that cherish the smell of sweaty feet, to lilies that imitate the fragrance of a dead horse. Hansson explains why scientists are interested in the smell that surrounds teenage males, and how climate change affects the smell of our environment. He describes research trips to Christmas Island, where crabs with particularly keen noses crack coconuts on the beach, and outlines studies that reveal how penguins recognize their partner by their scent.

Themes of crisis and corruption come together to make this a collection of poems for our time.The origins of this book are in the collaboration between The Royal Opera House, The London Sinfonietta, composer, Dominic Muldowney and author, Graham Roos, which culminated in a series of performances, sponsored by The Guardian, entitled The Arts of News at King's Place in 2009.The aim was to convert newspaper stories into songs without making them hieratic, instead retaining their tabloid feel. Two strands of work were created out of this commission: Songs of the Zeitgeist (a collaboration with Dominic Muldowney on the themes of celebrity, Binge Britain and ecological disaster) and Songs of Reckoning. Roos also created a verse cabaret set in the Media Suite in Hell where Lucifer stands for election accompanied by three Angels of the New Millennium.Much of the work in this book derives from Songs of the Zeitgeist and these other works; some are demotic and others hieratic, using more traditional forms.
