Policeless
In December 2018 Sergeant Al Robinson retired after 25 undistinguished years in the Thames Valley Police. Obviously, he thought, whatever Adam Kay could do for the NHS, he could do for the police service, only an incy, wincy, tincy bit better, obviously. So, here it is, Al's account as to how Britain became Policeless and how policing became soulless.Take good care of yourselves.
Grandpa's Farm Spring
Matt is spending his spring holidays on Grandpa's Farm, 'where lambs are born and sheep are shorn.' A beautiful rhyming verse about life on an Australian farm, told through the eyes of a young boy.
Ideas Are Free
The authors lay out a plan to tap into the full power of employee ideas and how to deal with them effectively during times of flagging profits, increasing competition, budget cuts, and layoffs.
The Idea-Driven Organization
In their much-anticipated sequel to the bestseller Ideas Are Free (over 50,000 copies sold), Alan Robinson and Dean Schroeder explain that employee ideas are no longer a "nice-to-have" but rather the very lifeblood of competitiveness, culture, and strategy. Their new book shows how to align every part of the organization around generating and implementing ideas at the front line.
Narrating the Past
In recent years controversy has surrounded the narrative turn in history and the historical turn in fiction. This book clarifies what is at stake, tracing connections between historiography and life-writing, arguing that the challenges posed in representing the past illuminate issues which are central to all literary narrative.
Why Nations Fail
Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2012. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty.

Little Caesar
Emanuel Goldenberg was born in Romania and from the age of ten grew up in New York's Lower East Side. He trained at the legendary Theater Guild, changed his name, and starred in many successful Broadway plays before moving to Hollywood. Among his most famous films were Double Indemnity with Barbara Stanwyck, The Stranger with Orson Welles, Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston, The Cincinnati Kid with Steve McQueen, and, of course, Little Caesar. After twenty successful years in film, Robinson's career was shattered by the McCarthy Commission. Although there was never any concrete proof that Robinson was in fact a member of the Communist party, it took five years for him to clear his name. In this fascinating biography, Alan L. Gansberg reveals the man behind the public face, his many memorable roles among more than 100 films, and his struggle to find steady work in Hollywood again. Includes 16 pages of photos.
Statistical Methods for Human Rights
Human rights issues are shaping the modern world. They define the expectations by which nations are judged and affect the policy of governments, corporations, and foundations. Statistics is central to the modern perspective on human rights. It allows researchers to measure the effect of health care policies, the penetration of educational opportunity, and progress towards gender equality. This book describes the statistics that underlie the social science research in human rights. It includes case studies, methodology, and research papers that discuss the fundamental measurement issues.
Penultiman
A modern superhero epic from the minds of Tom Peyer (THE WRONG EARTH) and Alan Robinson (PLANET OF THE NERDS). Penultiman, The Next-To-Last-Stage In Human Evolution, is the greatest, best-looking, and most admired super-hero in the world--so how can he stop hating himself? Only his android understudy, Antepenultiman, may hold the answer. "We've seen characters who represent the ultimate stage of human potential, but I don't think we've met any who are just a little worse than the best," says writer Tom Peyer. "Imagine the anxiety of being so advanced--only to be outclassed. That's PENULTIMAN." "A fun take on the Captain Marvel-style wholesome superhero, with notes of the mournful loss of family and home we often see in Superman. Except, instead of an 8-year-old boy or an alien sent far from home to avoid a cataclysmic disaster, Penultiman's exiled from 90,019 BCE to our time to live out his days...Peyer and Robinson blend Golden and Silver-Age sensibilities in this story while poking gentle fun at the tropes that make superheroes tick." -Multiversity Comics "A really interesting comic... definitely pick it up." --Comic News Insider
