Off Message
Bob Marshall-Andrews looks at the sombre events of the last thirteen years including wars in Kosovo and Iraq, sustained assaults on ancient English liberties, and the worst scandal of recent political history. He reveals the stories that lie behind them and the Westminster dramas of intrigue, triumph and disaster. He describes the delights and trials of his work as constituency MP and examines his own and others' motives for entering politics: should the ambition, he asks, be to achieve power or to control it. Bob Marshall-Andrews breathes new life into the old values of libertarian socialism. Off Message is as provocative and entertaining as its author's campaigns and interventions.

Dump
On the shores of Lake Tanganyika lies the idyllic Serole Lodge, internationally famous for the study of chimpanzees. In the summer of 2016, it plays host to a group of travellers including academics, film stars and Hiram Sidewinder, an infamous game-hunting dentist from Tennessee, with his family.

But in the dark forest a bloody revolution is taking place among the chimpanzees, led by the fearsome Dump, a psychopathic murderous ape who has brutally usurped the position of alpha male. As Dump's power grows, he threatens the existence of the lodge and the lives of all within it. In the middle of a tropical storm, the confrontation reaches an inevitable and terrible climax...

Future Systems
Future Systems, led by Jan Kaplicky and Amanda Levete, is one of the UK's most innovative and influential architectural practices. Known internationally, their name is synonymous with pioneering and technologically creative design. Their work first made an impact through the powerful imagery of its unbuilt work, which reached an international zenith with the second-placed scheme for the French National Library in 1989. Their built work of the 1990s has attracted media acclaim and public interest, and their exhibition at London's Institute for Contemporary Arts in 1998 attracted unprecedented numbers for an architectural show. Future Systems' interests extend well beyond those of more convent...

Under the Wig is for anyone who wants to know the reality of a murder trial. It has been praised as "gripping" by The Times, "riveting" by the Sunday Express and "fascinating" by...
