When We Were Bad
When We Were Bad is a spellbinding, witty and poignant portrayal of a family in crisis, in love, and in denial. 'As intelligent as it is funny. A beautifully observed literary comedy as well as a painfully accurate description of one big old family mess. A joy' – The Observer In North London, Claudia Rubin is in her heyday. Wife, mother, rabbi – and sometimes moral voice of the nation – everyone wants to be with her at her son Leo's glorious wedding. That is, until Leo jilts his bride, and the gleaming bubble surrounding the Rubins threatens to burst. Frances – Claudia's calm, mature, married daughter – tries to hold the nucleus of the family together, but the stress forces her to re-examine her own life, leading her to make a decision as shocking as Leo's choice to bolt. And Claudia's husband, Norman, has an uncharacteristic secret. And, whether he likes it or not, he is powerless to stop it coming out . . . 'A comedy with the warmest of hearts and the most deliciously subversive of agendas' - Marie Claire 'Fast-paced and engaging. Brilliant, touching and true' - Naomi Alderman, bestselling author of The Power

North-South Co-operation
This book in the Focus on Gender series looks at co-operation for development: between North, South, and East; women's organisations and funding agencies; development practitioners, academics, and civil society; politicians and economists; and women and men. Currently, the world is in economic and political crisis, of which escalating conflict is a symptom. In this book, writers from South and North stress that such crisis can only be resolved if we recognise that we are all involved in a global system which perpetuates poverty and inequality, not only in the South and East, but also in the North. Organisations which seek to relieve poverty must find ways to listen to, value, and learn from ...

The Oxfam Handbook of Development and Relief
This handbook is the product of the experience of Oxfam UK and Ireland in its work in over 70 countries around the world. It offers an expression of Oxfam's fundamental principles: that all the people have the right to an equitable share in the world's resources, and the right to make decisions about their own development. The denial of such rights is at the heart of poverty and suffering. This reference work analyses policy, procedure and practice in such fields as health, human rights, emergency relief, capacity-building and agricultural production.
When the Sparrows Stop Singing
Are these the end of days? A group of men with extraordinary gift of prophecy seem to think so as they find disturbing correlating signs in the Book of Revelations regarding the current bird flu virus threat. They pin their hopes in young Frances Casey, who has discovered the strategic location of Israel for intercontinental travel for migratory birds. They have helped her set up an important monitoring station there in the hopes of detecting the bird flu virus in these birds before they can spread it to Europe or Africa, where the chances for viral mutation that will set off the next global flu pandemic are so great. Little do they know that another malevolent group that had discovered an easy way to manufacture tons of the main ingredient to oseltamivir has set out to sabotage Casey's project, fearing her actions may hinder their goal of monetary wealth. Soon, forces of good and evil will meet in the Holy Land to do final battle in Armageddon, presaging the end of the world. An event that will start.when the sparrows stop singing!
