英文简介: The true story behind TV drama Manhunt - the detective who solved the Milly Dowler case and finally brought serial killer Levi Bellfield to justice.

NOW A MAJOR TV DRAMA STARRING MARTIN CLUNES What does it take to catch one of Britain’s most feared killers? Levi Bellfield is one of the most notorious British serial killers of the last fifty years—his name alone evokes horror and revulsion, after his string of brutal murders in the early 2000s. At 3:07pm on 21st March, 2002, Milly Dowler left her school in Surrey for the last time. Less than an hour later, she was to be abducted and murdered in the cruellest fashion, sparking a missing person investigation that would span months before her body was found. In the two years that followed, two more young women—Marsha McDonnell and then Amélie Delagrange—were murdered in unspeakably brutal attacks. Yet with three murdered women on their hands, and few leads open to them, investigating officers were running out of ideas and options, until SIO Colin Sutton was drafted into the investigation for the murder of Delagrange. Seeing a connection between the three women, and thriving under the pressure of a serial killer hunt, Sutton was finally able to bring their murderer to justice after the case had begun to seem hopeless. Manhunt tells the story of how he led the charge to find a mystery killer, against the clock and against the odds - day by day and lead by lead. At once a gripping police procedural, and an insight into the life of an evil man, this is the story behind what it takes to track down a shockingly violent murderer before he strikes again.

英文简介: NAMED A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE TIMES AND THE SUNDAY TIMES

"Irreversible Damage . . . has caused a storm. Abigail Shrier, a Wall Street Journal writer, does something simple yet devastating: she rigorously lays out the facts." —Janice Turner, The Times of London

Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively.

But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.”

Unsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility.

Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves.

Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters.

A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path.

英文简介: The Peaky Blinders as we know them, thanks to the hit TV series, are infused with drama and dread. Fashionably dressed, the charismatic but deeply flawed Shelby family blind enemies by slashing them with the disposable safety razor blades stitched in to the peaks of their flat caps, as they fight bloody gangland wars involving Irish terrorists and the authorities led by a devious Home Secretary, Winston Churchill.

But who were the real Peaky Blinders? Did they really exist?

Well-known social historian, broadcaster and author, Carl Chinn, has spent decades searching them out. Now he reveals the true story of the notorious Peaky Blinders, one of whom was his own great grandfather and, like the Shelbys, his grandfather was an illegal bookmaker in back-street Birmingham.

In this gripping social history, Chinn shines a light on the rarely reported struggles of the working class in one of the great cities of the British Empire before the First World War. The story continues after 1918 as some Peaky Blinders transformed into the infamous Birmingham Gang. Led by the real Billy Kimber, they fought a bloody war with the London gangsters Darby Sabini and Alfie Solomon over valuable protection rackets extorting money from bookmakers across the booming postwar racecourses of Britain.

Drawing together a remarkably wide-range of original sources, including rarely seen images of real Peaky Blinders and interviews with relatives of the 1920s gangsters, Peaky Blinders: The Real Story adds a new dimension to the true history of Birmingham’s underworld and fact behind its fiction.

中文概要: 一位与银行家直面改变统一货币趋势，拯救欧元的男人的真实故事。

2019年10月标志着欧洲央行(ECB)行长马里奥•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)任期的结束。

这个故事的关键时刻是2012年7月5日。

在统一货币的最为关键时刻，在银行业和债务危机中，欧元计划的整个存在都受到了讨论。马里奥•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)宣布了他的“不惜一切代价”的著名计划。欧洲央行将“不惜一切代价拯救欧元”。然后补充道:“相信我，足以应对。”那一天，一项经济支持政策开始实施，这使得欧盟得以继续以一种共同货币存在。

本书的两位作者，兰多(Randow)和斯佩恰莱(Speciale), 彭博(Bloomberg)的资深人士，讲述了近年来的金融故事，但最重要的是，向我们展示的那位完成了看似不可能完成的使命的银行家的故事。性格内向的马里奥•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)喜欢低调行事。本书通过与合作者和观察人士的对话和采访，从内部展示了他在欧洲央行(ECB)之前的经历，以及他在欧洲塔(Eurotower)与德国强硬立场之间的巨大内讧。

对于那些想要了解阻止欧元崩溃的意大利人的内心世界的人来说，这本书是必读之书。(Sandy)

英文简介: The true story of the man who saved the Euro. Face to face with the banker that changed the destiny of common currency.

October 2019 marks the end of Mario Draghi’s mandate as president of the European Central Bank.

The crucial moment of this story is 5 July 2012. In the most critical phase for the common currency, in the midst of banking and debt crisis that had placed the entire existence of the Euro project under discussion, Mario Draghi announced his celebrated whatever it takes. The ECB would do “whatever it takes to save the Euro”. To then add: “Believe me, it will be enough”. That day a policy of economic support began which allowed the European Union to continue to exist with a common currency. Randow and Speciale, veterans of Bloomberg, tell the economic story of recent years, but above all, show us the person that is the banker who accomplished a mission that seemed impossible. Mario Draghi, an introverted man who dislikes the spotlight, is here shown from the inside, through conversations and interviews with collaborators and observers, analysing his experience before the ECB and the great internal battle at Eurotower with Germany’s inflexible stance. A must-have book for those who want to understand the inner-workings of the Italian who prevented the collapse of the Euro.
