The Real Deal
One of Britain's foremost media moguls -- in his own words. From the age of five, when he helped his deaf father negotiate advertising contracts, Richard Desmond has always had an eye for business. In "The Real Deal "he offers a no-holds-barred account of an extraordinary career that has taken him from cloakroom attendant at a north London club to billionaire media owner. En route he tells of his early life as a rock and roll drummer, his first steps in the world of magazine publishing as a purveyor of leisure and top-shelf titles, and finally, after decades of paying his dues building smaller brands, his arrival in the big league with the launch of OK! magazine and the acquisition of Expres...
The Triumph of Richard Desmond
Fate... Free Will... Destiny... Predestination. What do these all have in common? Do human beings actually have free will, or does God or Nature have a say in the matter? This novel attempts to answer those questions for one man in particular. Richard Desmond lived at the end of the 20th Century and was both an accountant and a poet. At thirty-eight years old, he lost his job but fell in love. His life's portrait was composed of a series of choices; and whether they were good or bad, readers must decide for themselves.

Richard III
"(A) well-written and colorful account of an intriguing period in English history" -- The New York Times Book Review Richard III (1452-1485) was the only North-countryman ever to reign over England and the only king since 1066 to be killed in battle -- but was he anything like the scheming monster portrayed by Shakespeare and Sir Thomas More? Desmond Seward, with the aid of modern scholarship, pieces together the facts from the accounts of Richard's contemporaries. Richard III relates the murders of Henry VI, his brother Clarence, the "Princes in the Tower", and the "nightmarish insecurity" that prevailed over his reign. Sweeping aside sentimental fantasy, this superb biography offers a definitive picture of both the man and his age.

Darwin
"It is like confessing a murder." These are the words Charles Darwin uttered when he revealed to the world what he knew to be true: that humans are descended from headless hermaphrodite squids. How could a wealthy gentleman, a stickler for respectability, attack the foundations of his religion and Anglican society? Authors Adrian Desmond and James Moore, in what has been hailed as the definitive biography of Charles Darwin, not only explain the paradox of the man but bring us the full sweep of Victorian science, theology, and mores. The authors unveil the battle over the mind and soul that raged around the student Darwin as well as his drunken high-life in prostitute-ridden Cambridge. They v...
