'If you like this kind of anthropology (and I do) there is a wealth of it to enjoy in this book. Her observations are acute... fortunately she doesn't write like an anthropologist but like an English woman - with amusement, not solemnity, able to laugh at herself as well as us.' DAILY MAIL 'She has not only compiled a comprehensive list of English qualities, she has examined them in depth and wondered how we came to acquire them. Her book is a delightful read.' THE SUHDAY TIMES 'I loved the section on mobile-phone etiquette... I liked the chapter on English humour. This is an entertaining, clever book. Do read it and then pass it on.' DAILY TELEGRAPH

Excellent reading in either Spanish or English, the eight short stories in this collection by authors including Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Camilo Jose Cela have been chosen for their readability and literary merit. Seven are from Spanish America, only one from Spain, an unsurprising ratio considering there are no less than nineteen Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, and that the short story is an extremely popular form among authors there. This selection also, therefore, gives the reader an insight into the differences between the literary cultures. Printed approximately in order of difficulty, the stories are accompanied by parallel English translations and notes on the text.

Gravity Field is a space-logic puzzle with time-inverted objects (cubes), in which there is no top or bottom.The game is made in a minimalist style - the levels are cubic rooms, which contain only the necessary items that perform a specific function. You will have to run along the walls and ceiling, although there is no clear definition of where is the top and where is the bottom. In this case, it will be necessary to solve various kinds of puzzles, sometimes resorting to time inversion. In the game you will see gravitational fields, each of which has its own direction of gravity, entering into which, the gravitational force of this field will act on you. Outside the field, weightlessness will affect you. On the levels you will come across closed doors, the opening of which will not be obvious. Use cubes, buttons, connectors to open them! In some puzzles you will see the time inversion icon - this means that the time for some items will go backwards! Use this to solve another problem! You have no plot in the game - because it is not needed here. This game is for real puzzle lovers. You have a list of levels, tasks in which you have to solve. And after that, new levels will open for you!

A corpse that wakes up during the autopsy. A case of spontaneous human combustion. There is little by the way of violent crime that Capitaine Victor Coste has not encountered in his fifteen years policing France's most notorious suburb - but nothing like this. As he struggles to find a link between the cases, he receives a pair of anonymous letters highlighting the fates of two women whose deaths were never explained - two more blurred faces among the ranks of the lost and the damned. Why were their murders not investigated? Coste is not the only one asking that question. Someone out there believes justice is best served on a cold mortuary slab.

There are six little rooms along the main corridor. There are no windows. No doors. The lift is the only way in or out. What's he going to do to me? What am I going to do? If I'm right, the lift will come down in five minutes. It did. Only this time it wasn't empty...
