Stumbling Naked in the Dark: Overcoming Mistakes Men Make With Women is the revolutionary new book on male-female relationships by author Bradley Fenton. The author asserts that a majority of men repeatedly make common mistakes while interacting with women and thus unknowingly come off as unattractive. Fenton identifies these mistakes and suggests some rather unorthodox ways to overcome them.

Written with humour and insight, this informal memoir is a delightful celebration of the passions that have driven Simon Brown's life. Called to the Bar in 1961, he has enjoyed a distinguished career on the Bench (perhaps less so on the golf course!) and now sits in the House of Lords as a working crossbench peer.
Treat yourself to Second Helpings and more choice cuts in the style of Simon Brown's much lauded first volume of memoirs, Playing off the Roof & Other Stories. Exuberantly revisiting his early years in National Service, at Oxford and as a young barrister, Lord Brown recalls matters grave and trivial from his time at the Bar and on the Bench, along the way regaling us with tales of Paddington Bear, Nigel Lawson and Mozart at the Warsaw opera. He also has something to say about the current legal scene and considers such thorny problems as the 2019 prorogation judgment and whether trial by jury might be dispensed with in order to clear a mounting backlog of criminal cases. Drawing witty lessons from a life of trials, Lord Brown finds time to muse on when a judge might choose to change a sentence already imposed, what to say after dinner and why the game of golf is strictly for the birds!
Older than Western astrology, the Japanese version—Nine Ki or feng shui astrology—is concerned with chi energy or the life force. In Practical Astrology by Numbers, feng shui authority Simon Brown helps you understand Nine Ki—the energy present on the day you were born, and the way it has shaped your character and personality. This highly illustrated guide is designed to help you to better realize your full potential; be more effective in resolving problems; choose supportive partners and better understand your relationships; plan important events; promote your career and achieve financial success; and select favorable locations and times for moving, traveling, and setting up a new business.
Treat yourself to Second Helpings of Simon Brown's much lauded memoirs. This expanded paperback edition includes Last Scrapings, thirteen new pieces written since its original publication in hardback.
