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.

中文概要: 2005年7月7号，早高峰结束之际，三场几乎同时发生的爆炸将伦敦地下夷为平地。一个小时之内，整个地铁网络得以疏散，第四场公交车爆炸事件表明这是一起恐怖行动。爆炸事件粉碎了英国反恐部门关于全球新圣战主义对英国威胁的设想。当局在考虑，基地组织是一个没有明确领导的松散联盟，还是一个具有国际影响力的高度组织，对英国构成了明显的威胁。这两种观点不仅是学术上的争论，而且在反恐战略方面提出了具有实际影响的重要问题。需要采取哪些独特的措施来打击这些对立形式的恐怖主义?我们能从伦敦恐怖袭击的策划和实施方式以及英国的应对中学到什么？

在《伦敦连环爆炸案》，反恐专家马克•塞奇曼力求通过对地铁爆炸案以及另外三场发生在2004年到2006年的爆炸案的详细描述和分析来回答上述问题。利用以前未经公开的审判笔录和执法记录，恐怖分子的自我记录，以及他自己在反恐方面的政府经验，赛奇曼认为对恐怖组织“自上而下”和“自下而上”的概念不一定是不相容的，部分原因在于这种二元思维，西方往往对威胁的严重性反应过度。

他强调了恐怖主义事件发展采用了不稳定且混乱的方式：由于行凶者通常不谙世事，受过教育，而且在参与新圣战活动之前并不特别虔诚，所以他们会自发地、逐步地进行随机计划。《伦敦连环爆炸案》是一部重要的、充满说服力的作品，将那些尚未向公众合理解释的事件展示给大众，本书对有效反恐战略的基础至关重要。（XMM）

英文简介: On July 7, 2005, at the end of the morning rush hour, three near-simultaneous explosions tore apart the London Underground. Within an hour, the entire subway network was evacuated, and a fourth explosion in a bus underscored that this was a terrorist operation. The bombings shattered the British counterterrorism services’ assumptions about the global neojihadi threat to Britain. Authorities pondered whether al Qaeda was a loose coalition with no clear leadership or a highly structured group with international reach that posed a clear threat to the United Kingdom. These two perspectives are not just academic disputes but raise important issues with real consequences in terms of counterterrorism strategy. What sorts of distinct measures are needed to combat these opposing forms of terrorism? What can we learn from the ways in which the London terror attacks were planned and executed—and from Britain’s response?

In The London Bombings, counterterrorism expert Marc Sageman seeks to answer these questions through a new detailed account and analysis of the Underground bombings as well as three other attacks directed at Britain between 2004 and 2006. Drawing on previously unavailable trial transcripts and law enforcement records, terrorists’ self-documentation, and his own government experience in counterterrorism, Sageman makes the case that "top down" and "bottom up" conceptions of terror organizations need not be incompatible and that, in part because of this binary thinking, the West has tended to overreact to the severity of the threat. He stresses the fluid, chaotic ways that terrorist events unfold: spontaneously and gradually with haphazard planning—as the perpetrators are often worldly, educated, and not particularly religious before becoming engaged in neojihadi activities. The London Bombings is a vital, persuasive account of events that have not yet been properly presented to the public and are critical to the foundation of an effective counterterrorism strategy.
