Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is now an established technique for delivering better software faster. TDD is based on a simple idea: Write tests for your code before you write the code itself. However, this "simple" idea takes skill and judgment to do well. Now there's a practical guide to TDD that takes you beyond the basic concepts. Drawing on a decade of experience building real-world systems, two TDD pioneers show how to let tests guide your development and “grow” software that is coherent, reliable, and maintainable. Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce describe the processes they use, the design principles they strive to achieve, and some of the tools that help them get the job done. Through...

The Line
'Dr Freeman is a man of great integrity and kindness. His care has helped me through the good times and the hardships of competing in the highest level of sport' - Sir Bradley Wiggins As team doctor for British Cycling and Team Sky, Dr Richard Freeman treated the world's most successful cyclists, such as Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Bradley Wiggins, Laura Trott and Victoria Pendleton. From 2009 until 2017, the 'Doc' was part of the team who became national heroes with Olympic and Tour de France victories. In The Line, Dr Freeman reveals the medical principles and practices that helped lead these athletes to success - ideas that we now consider commonplace, but many of which were in fact the Doc's own innovations. And in a sport where there's an ethical line as well as a finishing line, Dr Freeman gives a frank and open account in response to allegations of misuse of medical treatment to enhance performance. 'Without Dr Freeman, my career would have been shorter and less successful' - Liam Phillips, BMX World Champion

Secrets Lie Still
Third in a series after Michael’s Secret and No Secrets, Secrets Lie Still follows life at Highfield, an estate on Prince Edward Island beginning in September of 1939. Well aware of the growth of the Nazi war machine in Germany and its threats to the UK, a long-time senior strategist in Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, Rear Admiral (Ret.) Sir Richard Moncrieff, evacuated his wife and daughter to Highfield from Suffolk, England, in 1938. Sir Richard plans to continue his work from Highfield if German air strikes reach his SIS offices in London. When Germany attacks Poland on September 3, 1939, the world is plunged into war once again. While Sir Richard’s two sons serve the Royal Navy at sea under constant peril of U-boat attacks, the war finds its way to Highfield in a covert attack that threatens the lives of his wife, their expectant daughter, and her husband, Michael Moreland, a SIS operative and Highfield’s original superintendent. Amid all the perils that war brings, secrets still find ways to endanger lives and relationships among Highfield’s denizens and friends. While war menaces from without, some discover that secrets threatening their peace lie within.
Impeach the President
This brilliantly argued and wonderfully written collection by twenty-two of the best political analysts in the US analyzes the extraordinary and unprecedented threat the White House and its allies present to civil liberties, civil rights, the Constitution, international law, and the future of the planet. Impeach the President unearths the stories behind election fraud in 2000 and 2004, the overt lies used to justify pre-emptive war on Iraq, the extensive, ongoing commission of war crimes and torture, the tragic failures in the lead-up to and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and lesser-known but equally alarming offences of propaganda and disinformation, illegal spying, environmental destruction, and the violation of the separation of church and state. Loo and Phillips chillingly reveal the full threat behind the radical right-wing force that has taken over the world’s most powerful office.
