A CUNNING CHRONICLE OF THE 50 CODES THAT ALTERED THE COURSE OF HISTORY AND CHANGED THE WORLD\n\nFrom the bestselling author of Bletchley Park Brainteasers and The Scotland Yard Puzzle Book. \n\nThere have been secret codes since before the Old Testament, and there were secret codes in the Old Testament too. Almost as soon as writing was invented, so too were the devious means to hide messages and keep them under the wraps of secrecy.\n\nIn 50 Codes that Changed the World, Sinclair McKay explores these uncrackable codes, secret cyphers and hidden messages from across time to tell a new history of a secret world. From the temples of Ancient Greece to the court of Elizabeth I; from antique manuscripts whose codes might hold prophecies of doom to the modern realm of quantum mechanics, you will see how a few concealed words could help to win wars, spark revolutions and even change the faces of great nations.\n\nHere is the complete guide to the hidden world of codebreaking, with opportunities for you to see if you could have cracked some of the trickiest puzzles and lip-chewing codes ever created. \n\n-----------------------\n\nPraise for Sinclair McKay's books:\n\n'This book [The Secret Life of Bletchley Park] seems a remarkably faithful account of what we did, why it mattered, and how it all felt at the time by someone who couldn't possibly have been born then. - THE GUARDIAN\n\n[Bletchley Park Brainteasers] is outrageously difficult but utterly fascinating. - THE EXPRESS\n\n'Sinclair McKay's account of this secret war of the airwaves in [Secret Listeners] is as painstakingly researched and fascinating as his bestselling The Secret Life Of Bletchley Park, and an essential companion to it.' - DAILY MAIL

'An eerily prescient foreshadowing of current affairs' Guardian\n\n'Not only Lewis's most important book but one of the most important books ever produced in the United States' New Yorker\n\nA vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fearmongering demagogue runs for President of the United States - and wins. Sinclair Lewis's chilling 1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, 'Professional Common Man', who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path. As the new regime slides into authoritarianism, newspaper editor Doremus Jessup can't believe it will last - but is he right? This cautionary tale of liberal complacency in the face of populist tyranny shows it really can happen here.

A Times/Sunday Times Book of the Year\n\n'Powerful . . . there is rage in his ink. McKay's book grips by its passion and originality. Some 25,000 people perished in the firestorm that raged through the city. I have never seen it better described' Max Hastings, Sunday Times\n\nIn February 1945 the Allies obliterated Dresden, the 'Florence of the Elbe'. Explosive bombs weighing over 1,000 lbs fell every seven and a half seconds and an estimated 25,000 people were killed. Was Dresden a legitimate military target or was the bombing a last act of atavistic mass murder in a war already won?\n\nFrom the history of the city to the attack itself, conveyed in a minute-by-minute account from the first of the flares to the flames reaching almost a mile high - the wind so searingly hot that the lungs of those in its path were instantly scorched - through the eerie period of reconstruction, bestselling author Sinclair McKay creates a vast canvas and brings it alive with touching human detail.\n\nAlong the way we encounter, among many others across the city, a Jewish woman who thought the English bombs had been sent from heaven, novelist Kurt Vonnegut who wrote that the smouldering landscape was like walking on the surface of the moon, and 15-year-old Winfried Bielss, who, having spent the evening ushering refugees, wanted to get home to his stamp collection. He was not to know that there was not enough time.\n\nImpeccably researched and deeply moving, McKay uses never-before-seen sources to relate the untold stories of civilians and vividly conveys the texture of contemporary life. Dresden is invoked as a byword for the illimitable cruelties of war, but with the distance of time, it is now possible to approach this subject with a much clearer gaze, and with a keener interest in the sorts of lives that ordinary people lived and lost, or tried to rebuild.\n\nWriting with warmth and colour about morality in war, the instinct for survival, the gravity of mass destruction and the manipulation of memory, this is a master historian at work.\n\n'Churchill said that if bombing cities was justified, it was always repugnant. Sinclair McKay has written a shrewd, humane and balanced account of this most controversial target of the Anglo-American strategic bombing campaign, the ferocious consequence of the scourge of Nazism' Allan Mallinson, author of Fight to the Finish\n\n'Beautifully-crafted, elegiac, compelling - Dresden delivers with a dark intensity and incisive compassion rarely equalled. Authentic and authoritative, a masterpiece of its genre' Damien Lewis, author of Zero Six Bravo\n\n'Compelling . . . Sinclair McKay brings a dark subject vividly to life' Keith Lowe, author of Savage Continent\n\n'This is a brilliantly clear, and fair, account of one of the most notorious and destructive raids in the history aerial warfare. From planning to execution, the story is told by crucial participants - and the victims who suffered so cruelly on the ground from the attack...

La storia di una città che, risorta dalle proprie ceneri, ha scelto di conservare le tracce della sua notte più oscura, affinché nessuno possa dimenticare l'insensatezza della guerra.\r\n\r\nIl 13 febbraio 1945 alle 22.03, 244 bombardieri britannici e 9 marcatori sganciarono sulla città tedesca di Dresda qualcosa come 880 tonnellate di bombe esplosive e incendiarie. All'inizio del giorno seguente, i bombardieri americani finirono ciò che era rimasto. Nel giro di quattordici ore, la città fu così completamente distrutta in uno degli attacchi più devastanti della seconda guerra mondiale. A raccontare, in questo libro monumentale, quella drammatica notte e i giorni che seguirono sono i sopravvissuti, miracolosamente scampati alla tempesta di fuoco che incenerì palazzi storici, ridusse in macerie strade e abitazioni, e uccise, secondo le stime, 25.000 persone. Accanto ai loro tragici ricordi, i diari e le lettere di quanti, rischiando a propria volta la vita, ubbidirono all'ordine di radere al suolo la città, in un'azione che turbò a lungo le loro coscienze. Ancora oggi, a settantacinque anni di distanza, Dresda è rimasta il simbolo dell'oscenità della guerra e il suo nome associato all'annientamento, come già per Hiroshima e Nagasaki. Nel corso dei decenni, del carattere morale – o immorale – sia del comportamento della città sotto il nazismo sia della decisione di distruggerla con il fuoco s'è discusso con rabbia, rimorso e dolore in gradi variabili. Dibattiti che fanno ancora parte del paesaggio: a Dresda il passato è nel presente. Per quanto la città sia stata infatti miracolosamente ricostruita, e i restauri scrupolosi fin nei minimi dettagli, è ancora in qualche modo possibile scorgerne le rovine. Ma le toccanti pagine di Sinclair McKay non parlano soltanto di un'indicibile catastrofe, restituiscono anche la vita della città prima e dopo l'attacco, il lungo periodo di ricostruzione e recupero, e soprattutto il racconto di come tante vite spezzate siano riuscite a rigenerarsi.

Bletchley Park Brainteasers was the runaway Christmas bestseller in 2017 and delighted hundreds of thousands of devoted puzzlers with its fiendish puzzles, riddles and enigmas. It's never to late to join the code breakers of Bletchley Park in their enjoyment of a devilish challenge!\n\nWould you love to master morse code? Could you have have outsmarted an enigma machine? Would your love of chess have seen you recruited into the history books?\n\nWhen scouring the land for top-level code breakers, the Bletchley Park recruiters left no stone unturned. As well as approaching the country's finest mathematicians, they cast their nets much wider, interviewing sixth-form music students who could read orchestral scores, chess masters, poets, linguists, hieroglyphics experts and high society debutantes fresh from finishing school. To assess these individuals they devised various ingenious mind-twisters - hidden codes, cryptic crosswords, secret languages, complex riddles - and it is puzzles such as these, together with the fascinating recruitment stories that surround them, that make up the backbone of this book. \n\nThe code breakers of Bletchley Park were united in their love of a good puzzle. If you feel the same, why not dive in, put your mental agility to the test and discover: Would Bletchley Park have recruited YOU?

A CUNNING CHRONICLE OF THE 50 CODES THAT ALTERED THE COURSE OF HISTORY AND CHANGED THE WORLD\n\nFrom the bestselling author of Bletchley Park Brainteasers and The Scotland Yard Puzzle Book. \n\nThere have been secret codes since before the Old Testament, and there were secret codes in the Old Testament too.

Martin Arrowsmith, a young medical student at the University of Winnemac, is driven by a sincere passion and a desire to make a positive contribution to the world. But events get in the way, and a series of personal vicissitudes, love interests and societal pressures threaten to lead him away from the path of pure science - until he is forced, in the face of a humanitarian crisis, to decide between scientific rigour and compassion, between maintaining his medical principles and saving lives.\n\nFirst published in 1925 to great critical acclaim, Arrowsmith is the third major novel by Sinclair Lewis, author of Main Street and Babbitt, and arguably his most ambitious work. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1926 - which the author famously declined - it contributed to Lewis's growing reputation as a master storyteller, social commentator and the unsurpassed satirist of his time.

Take a deep breath. You’re going to become a time traveller. This journey will take you back to the Cross and the beginning of time itself. Your adventure hinges on God the Father’s Plan to give his one and only Son to save sinners.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrace God’s plan of redemption back through time, all the way to creation, with this charmingly illustrated children’s book by Sinclair Ferguson. The story will help children see that creation, the cross, the resurrection and our lives today are all part of God’s big story.

Opera giovanile di Sinclair Lewis, “Il nostro Mr Wrenn” racconta le romantiche avventure di un giovane in cerca di libertà. Protagonista molto amato da Pavese, la cui traduzione del romanzo viene oggi riproposta dopo lunga assenza dalle librerie, il signor Wrenn è un uomo timido e impacciato, sognatore di viaggi e di avventure. Un giorno, dopo aver ereditato, lascia il lavoro e parte per l’Europa; lì si innamorerà, «goffamente e melanconicamente» dirà Pavese, di Istra; il loro rapporto sarà ricco di alti e bassi, fino a quando la donna non si accorgerà che Mr Wrenn è molto più autentico degli amici radicali e attivisti di cui si era circondata, pensatori “all’acqua di rose”. “Il nostro Mr Wrenn” uscì nel 1914 e si fece subito notare per lo stile originale e la freschezza dello sguardo. È un romanzo in cui si ritrovano già tutti i temi – la ricerca di libertà di fronte alle norme irragionevoli della società, l’America descritta come un Paese malato di moralismo – cari all’autore che più tardi, proprio per questa capacità di analisi, avrebbe vinto il Nobel.

Pit your wits against the brilliant minds of Scotland Yard, from the bestselling author of Bletchley Park Brainteasers, Sinclair McKay. \n\nIf you cracked the GCHQ Puzzle Book and tore through the Ordnance Survey Puzzle Book, you MUST show off your brainteaser abilities and prove that you have what it takes to be a detective at the Yard...\n\nHow can a man be in two places at once? How might a murder be committed when no one is seen entering or exiting the house? Can an entire crime be solved with just a suitcase of empty beer bottles?\n\nIt's time for you to tackle the conundrums that confounded the best detectives over the years.\n\nSince it opened its doors in 1829, Scotland Yard has used the science of detection to solve the most macabre of murders and catch the most audacious of thieves. The Scotland Yard Puzzle Book takes a look through the history of this famous institution and recreates some of the most complex puzzles its detectives have ever faced. Technology can now shine a light on some of the most difficult cases, but the analytical mind needed to crack the clues remains as essential as ever. \n\nDo you have what it takes to be a Scotland Yard detective?

L’ironia, la lucidità nel rappresentare il reale, l’onestà nell’esprimere i sentimenti, anche i più abietti: armi pericolose nelle mani di uno scrittore. Sinclair Lewis sceglie di usare la penna come fioretto e non manganello, ma il suo stile non impedisce al fendente di mettere a segno il colpo: infligge stoccate alle verità imposte, assalta le sensibilità intorpidite, va dritto alla coscienza del lettore, lacerando nel profondo certezze condivise, scontate, noiosamente e meccanicamente perpetuate. Il caso e l’apparenza sono i fili che uniscono le trame delle tre novelle dell’autore americano, che non fu scrittore puro di noir o gialli, ma che in testi come questi si confrontò felicemente con il genere. Si passa dalla carezza ipocrita a un gatto, che innesca una catena catastrofica di eventi, al racconto di un crimine quasi perfetto, a una storia d’amore impastata di suspense: grottesco, umorismo, melodramma sociale si leggono tra le righe di una scrittura asciutta, brillante, piacevole e amara come un sorso di birra. Ed è nella tensione degli intrecci, nella complessità di personaggi e contesti che Pulixi riconosce il “visionario” Lewis e detta la direzione per andare al cuore della sua narrativa.

How can we create more inclusive spaces in the field of dance? \n\nThis book presents a framework for dance practitioners and researchers working in diverse dance cultures to navigate academia and the professional dance field. The framework is based on the idea of \"cultural confluences,\" conjuring up an image of bodies of water meeting and flowing into and past one another, migrating through what the authors refer to as the mainstream and non-mainstream. These streams are fluid categories that are associated with power, privilege, and the ability (or inability) to absorb other cultural forms in shared dance spaces. In reflective interludes and dialogues, Emoghene and Spanos consider the effects of migration on their own individual experiences in dance to understand what it means to carry culture through the body in various spaces. Through an analysis of language, aesthetic values, spaces, creative processes, and archival research practices, the book offers a collaborative model for communicating the value that marginalized dance communities bring to the field.\n\nThis book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and arts administrators in dance.

What is a life with Jesus like? How does the Son of God impact me? Through 31 devotions about Jesus, family and the church we discover what being friends with Jesus really means. Find out about Jesus, his friends and family, the disciples and the church through stories such as: Jesus Knows Your Name; Ready Steady Think; and Who Loves Church?\n\n\n\nThese stories were first told at The First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina.

In una lettera del 12 marzo 1930, Cesare Pavese consigliava all’editore Enrico Bemporad la traduzione del romanzo “Il nostro signor Wrenn”, ed è proprio con questo lavoro, pubblicato l’anno successivo, che prendeva inizio la sua pionieristica opera di traduttore, che lo avrebbe portato a essere tra i principali divulgatori in Italia della grande narrativa americana. Pubblicato nel 1914 e prima opera di Sinclair Lewis firmata con il suo vero nome, “Il nostro signor Wrenn” narra la storia di un giovane scapolo, impiegato in una ditta di souvenir, che passa il tempo libero a leggere libri di viaggio sognando di fuggire dalla sua esistenza monotona. Un giorno, ereditata una piccola fortuna, lascia il lavoro e comincia a viaggiare, approdando dopo una lunga traversata nel Vecchio Continente. L’incontro con l’affascinante Istra, di cui si innamorerà e che gli aprirà un mondo a lui del tutto sconosciuto, lo porterà a vivere ancora più intensamente queste sue «romantiche avventure». Già in questo suo primo, divertente e appassionante romanzo, Sinclair Lewis mette a nudo le debolezze umane e le contraddizioni di una società multietnica e tentacolare come era già quella americana nei primi anni del secolo scorso. La versione di Cesare Pavese, con le sue note di traduzione, aggiunge fascino e interesse alla nostra edizione, che viene completata dalla presenza in appendice dei due saggi che lo stesso Pavese ha dedicato all’opera del grande scrittore americano, pubblicati sulla rivista «La Cultura» rispettivamente nel 1930 e nel 1934.

Since before the beginning of time God has been at work. He created the world; he promised to send a saviour; and he sent his Son to die for us. With these\n\n31 devotions and prayers you will see the impact of the life of Christ from before Creation to the Resurrection. Find out What Jesus Did through stories such as:\n\nMaking Christmas Last; When Jesus Became a Refugee; and How Do I know Jesus Loves me?\n\n\n\nThese stories were first told at The First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina.

The reason for the huge commercial success of Sinclair McKay's The Secret Life of Bletchley Park was simple: for the first time it told the stories of the ordinary people (mostly women), who worked there, and what it was like. \n\nSworn to secrecy, they never divulged their remarkable wartime service for decades. But what did they go on to achieve after the war? And what about those who did become household names, but whose Bletchley Park years remain unknown?\n\nNow Sinclair McKay tells the stories of a hundred such people, and the often equally extraordinary lives they went on to. Here are dozens of unsung heroes, who certainly made their mark after the war as well as during its finest hour: people like Home Secretary Roy Jenkins, or novelist Angus Wilson; or Jane Fawcett, a trained ballerina who went on to co-found the Victorian Society and save St Pancras Station; or James Bernard, a protege of Benjamin Britten who wrote all the music for the Dracula films; or Joan Clarke, Alan Turing's girlfriend, who became a senior codebreaker herself at GCHQ.

BY THE AUTHOR OF IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE\n\nBusinessman George F. Babbitt loves the latest appliances, making money and the Republican party. In fact, he loves being a Solid Citizen even more than he loves his wife. But Babbitt comes to resent the middle class trappings he has worked so hard to acquire. Realising that his life is devoid of meaning, he grows determined to transcend his trivial existence and search for a greater purpose.\n\n In the economic boom years of 1920s' America, Babbitt became a symbol of middle-class mediocrity, and his name an enduring part of the American lexicon.

Behind the celebrated code-breaking at Bletchley Park lies another secret…The men and women of the ‘ Y’ (for Wireless’ ) Service were sent out across the world to run listening stations from Gibraltar to Cairo, intercepting the German military’s encrypted messages for decoding back at the now-famous Bletchley Park mansion. Such wartime postings were life-changing adventures – travel out by flying boat or Indian railways, snakes in filing cabinets and heat so intense the perspiration ran into your shoes - but many of the secret listeners found lifelong romance in their far-flung corner of the world. Now, drawing on dozens of interviews with surviving veterans, Sinclair McKay tells their remarkable story at last.

Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature, and a writer lauded both for his craft and his principles, wrote The Job as a statement of female empowerment, and self-determination over societal expectation. Written in the early years of the 1900s Lewis' central character, highly unusual for the era, is a woman, Una Golden, who gains work in an exclusively male world of commercial real estate. Golden struggles for the recognition of her male peers while balancing romantic and work life; she marries, divorces, continues to work hard and finally emerges triumphant on her own terms. \n\n\nFlame Tree 451 presents a new series, The Foundations of Feminist Fiction. The early 1900s saw a quiet revolution in literature dominated by male adventure heroes. Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write from a different gender perspective, sometimes with female protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on any subject whatsoever. Each book features a brand new biography and a new glossary of Literary, Gothic and Victorian terms.

When we read God’s Word and see the wonder of who Jesus is and what he has done we see that God’s Son has given us his very best. His love and care for us took him to the Cross for us.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWith these 31 devotions and prayers you will discover Christ’s love for his people and how he deserves our love and worship. Find out How Jesus Loves through stories such as: Don’t Look Back; God Says It’s Time and Hide and Seek.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThese stories were first told at The Tron Church in Glasgow,\n\nScotland.

The Holy Spirit, once forgotten, has been \"rediscovered\" in the twentieth century - or has he? Sinclair Ferguson believes we should rephrase this common assertion: \"While his work has been recognised, the Spirit himself remains to many Christians an anonymous, faceless aspect of the divine being.\" In order to redress this balance, Ferguson seeks to recover the who of the Spirit fully as much as the what and how.\n\nFerguson's study is rooted and driven by the scriptural story of the Spirit in creation and redemption. Throughout he shows himself fully at home in the church's historical theology of the Spirit and conversant with the wide variety of contemporary Christians who have explored the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.\n\nFoundational issues are surveyed and clarified. Hard questions are explored and answered. Clarity and insight radiate from every page. Here is the mature reflection of a Reformed theologian who will summon respect and charity from those who disagree.

Published during the heyday of fascism in Europe, It Can't Happen Here is a chilling cautionary tale by one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century, which is still startlingly relevant almost a century later.\n\nCharting the rise to power of Berzelius 'Buzz' Windrip, who whips his supporters into a frenzy while promising drastic reform under a banner of patriotism and traditional values, It Can't Happen Here decries the tactics used by politicians to mobilise voters, and exposes the danger of authoritarianism arising from populist platforms, and the chaos such regimes can leave in their wake.

Discover the stories of the brave men and women who worked, trained and fought across the UK, from Bletchley Park in southern England all the way to Arisaig in northern Scotland, in an unbelievable effort to defeat the Nazis and win the Second World War .\n\nFrom the outset of the war, most of Britain felt like a mystery even to those who lived there. All road and railway signs were removed up and down the country to thwart potential enemy spies. An invisible web of cunning spread across the United Kingdom; secret laboratories were hidden in marshes, underground bases were built to conceal key strategic plans and grand country houses became secret and silent locations for eccentric boffins to do their confidential cryptography work.\n\nIn Secret Britain, Sinclair McKay maps out the UK through the hidden bases and battlegrounds of WWII. These locations are full of history and intrigue, but if you don't know where to look, you might just miss them. Journeying through secret wildernesses, suburbs, underground tunnels and manor houses, Sinclair gives a glimpse into the stories of the incredible people behind the war effort, and shows how you might be able to visit these mysterious and evocative locations yourself.\n\nWith his trademark warmth and compassion, Sinclair unearths the truths of the war that have remained under layers of secrecy since the war was won in 1945.

William Wrenn vive a Manhattan in una camera ammobiliata, consuma i pasti in modeste trattorie, passa le sere libere da solo al cinema mentre sogna viaggi avventurosi in luoghi esotici. Appena se ne presenta l’occasione, rinuncia al grigiore di un lavoro sicuro nella metropoli per partire alla volta dell’Inghilterra, terra idealizzata in cui spera di conoscere il grande amore. Al contrario, giunto in questa nuova realtà farà nuovamente i conti con la solitudine, l’incomunicabilità e mille contraddizioni. Eppure, al culmine della disillusione, il destino riserverà al mediocre Wrenn la possibilità di recitare finalmente un ruolo da protagonista.
