ABOUT THIS BOOK: Not since Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl has such an intimately candid deeply affecting account of a childhood compromised by Nazi tyranny come to light. In 1941 Petr Ginz was a young teenager living in Prague with his parents and sister. Adventurous artistic and optimistic he wrote poems and novels and edited a children's magazine inside the work camp at Theresienstadt. Originally written in his own special code-language Petr's diaries describe daily life for the Ginz family and document the introduction of anti-Jewish laws from a young adult's point of view pithy and unsentimental. The writing stopped when Petr was sent to Auschwitz in 1944 but his books survived in a Prague attic. They recently came to light in extraordinary circumstances and were published in the Czech republic in 2005 to a storm of publicity. Edited by his sister Chava and including background material and beautiful reproductions of Petr's artwork this book is a classic in the making. Quantity Available: 2.

Their offstage antics were legendary. Spleen bursting quantities of drugs and booze fuelled a rapacious appetite for groupies and bad behaviour. They learnt from the debauchery of the seventies and they topped it. And in the end it all crashed down in flames. Now Steven Davis author of the classic rock bestseller "Hammer of the Gods" his biography of Led Zeppelin is telling the whole story for the first time. Years of research and exclusive interviews make this the definitive story of the one of the greatest rock bands the world has ever seen. Quantity Available: 1.

‎Penguin Australia 2008. Trade Paperback. As New. Trade Paperback. 671 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Penguin Australia 2008. CONDITION: This book is in as new condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The rise and rise of the Bin Laden family is one of the world's great stories of the 20th century: the repercussions of that rise have of course already deeply marked the 21st century. And yet it is a story that has never been properly told. Their affairs shrouded in secrecy living in one of the most powerful closed and unaccountable countries on earth the Bin Ladens have - until now - successfully fended off all attempts to understand the world from which Osama sprang. In only two generations the men and women of the Bin Laden family moved from a desert canyon in Yemen to luxury jets yachts and private compounds around the world. The religious and cultural pressures could not have been greater. This resulted in everything from enthusiasm for the West exemplified by Osama's brother Salem a free-living pilot and adventurer to an overwhelming determination to destroy it. The Bin Ladens - meticulously researched brilliantly written - is one of the major works to be provoked by the current crisis. Colourful shocking entertaining and disturbing it dramatizes all the strange contradictions of globalization in the story of a single family who have used money mobility and technology to frighteningly varied ends.
