Life in the Faz Lane
The legend that is Faisal 'Faz' Madani has undeniably gone down in the annals of infamy as one of Britain's greatest ever fraudsters. From a young age right up to the present day he has been a constant thorn in the side of both the police and the establishment. Headhunted at the tender age of fourteen by MI6, he has played the authorities at their own game. They thought they were controlling him, but it was he who was the puppet master.

Time and Identity
Original essays on the metaphysics of time, identity, and the self, written by distinguished scholars and important rising philosophers.The concepts of time and identity seem at once unproblematic and frustratingly difficult. Time is an intricate part of our experience—it would seem that the passage of time is a prerequisite for having any experience at all—and yet recalcitrant questions about time remain. Is time real? Does time flow? Do past and future moments exist? Philosophers face similarly stubborn questions about identity, particularly about the persistence of identical entities through change. Indeed, questions about the metaphysics of persistence take on many of the complexitie...
