This is a skilful collection by a poet well acquaintedwith relative place: wherever a poem lives, it alwaysremembers its place in the world. Indeed, juxtapositionsand connections - with place, culture, and amonghumans - are where the poet flexes his muscle - 'worksout' his ideas.

After working with David on his previous work for the series, The Complete Kubrick, we knew we were on to a winner for this book. Not only is David Lynch a master of modern film-making but David Hughes is well-qualified to write this 'complete' book. The book covers all Lynch's films including Mulholland Drive, TV and other projects, as well as the unrealised ventures such as Revenge of the Jedi (later directed by Richard Marquand as Return of the Jedi). It also includes a foreword by Barry Gifford - the novelist behind Wild at Heart and co-writer with Lynch of the screenplay for Lost Highway - and excerpts from a new interview David Hughes carried out with David Lynch himself. The Complete Lynch is the only comprehensive study of this great director.

Why the wind, and energy it produces, should not be private property

The tragic murder of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey on Christmas night in 1996 shocked the nation and sparked intense media coverage and public fascination. Set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic family life in Boulder, Colorado, the case delves into themes of innocence lost, the complexities of familial relationships, and the impact of media on crime investigation. The mystery surrounding her death continues to resonate, raising questions about justice, accountability, and the lasting effects of unsolved crimes on communities.

Exploring the alarming parallels between the Covid-19 response and the rise of the Third Reich, this book delves into the historical role of Wall Street in facilitating Nazi power and its ongoing influence in shaping a global technocracy. It argues that totalitarianism evolves gradually, drawing connections to current trends in censorship, health surveillance, and the erosion of constitutional rights. The author warns of a potential New World Order that could lead to extreme social control, the privatization of public resources, and the normalization of eugenics, echoing dark chapters of history.

Ernst Kestner, a pork butcher in Lubeck, has guarded a secret so terrible that for 40 years he has been reliving it. Now, under the threat of death, he closes his shop and drives to France for the first time since the war, to confront those memories and settle accounts.
