Nine remarkable men produced inventions that changed the world. The printing press, the telephone, powered flight, recording and others have made the modern world what it is. But who were the men who had these ideas and made reality of them? As David Angus shows, they were very different - quiet, boisterous, confident, withdrawn - but all had a moment of vision allied to single-minded determination to battle through numerous prototypes and produced something that really worked. This is a fascinating account for younger listeners.

This is a story from The Moonlit Road collection. These five 19th-century ghost stories from both sides of the Atlantic provide some of the best chills in the genre. Ambrose Bierce is well-known, but "To Let" by B. M. Croker and "The Upper Berth" also provide moments to tingle the spine, as does "An Account of Some Strange Disturbances" by Le Fanu. This collection, which is further enhanced by suitably chilling music, was originally released under the title Classic Chilling Tales 3.

The award-winning Music & Silence is one of Tremain's most popular works. Set in the court of ChristianÿIV of Denmark during the 17th century, it is a beautiful and enduring tale of love, intrigue and betrayal. Part history, part imagination, Music & Silence lyrically evokes the rich tapestry of court life.

These two great poems date from Shakespeare’s early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love - but he only wants to hunt boar. In the more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare draws on the Roman tale of the Emperor Tarquin’s desire for Lucrece and its tragic consequencies. These poems give prominent parts to the two heroines, and Clare Corbett and Eve Best shine.

Tara Lincoln è la madre single di un figlio adolescente, lavora come organizzatrice di eventi e non ha nessuna intenzione di disperdere le sue energie in storie d'amore, almeno fino a quando il ragazzo non andrà al college.

Tara ha già fatto l'errore di scommettere sull'amore, perdendo tutto, e non ha voglia di partecipare di nuovo a un gioco così pericoloso, soprattutto con un dongiovanni matricolato come lui. Ma quando Mick si mette in testa di vincere, non c'è niente che possa fermarlo, e ha già in mente la mossa perfetta per abbattere le difese di Tara.

Shortly before her death Angela Carter was preparing this volume of short stories, one which does full justice to the glory of her imagination and the range of her talent. It is divided into distinct parts. The first comprises a group of stories inspired by America: Lizzie Borden visits a circus; a John Ford Western is spiced with the story of 'Tis Pity She's a Whore'; and there is a wonderful Gothic extravaganza set in Hollywood. The second section - Old World Wonders - draws on fairy tales.

La mattina successiva alla loro unica notte di passione, vengono però coinvolti in una difficile missione che si concluderà con esiti drammatici.

Quasi tutti giocano secondo le regole. Ma Gavin e Liz non sono come gli altri... Vincere a ogni costo. Questo è sempre stato il mantra dell'agente sportivo Liz Darnell. Ora ha tirato le cose troppo per le lunghe e rischia di perdere il cliente più importante: il giocatore professionista di baseball Gavin Riley. Liz sa che avrà bisogno di alcuni inning extra per riconquistarlo e che potrebbe non essere facile, perché ha una cotta per lui da quando l'ha visto per la prima volta.

Clare's debut novel, I Let You Go, became a sensational bestseller. Her second novel, I See You, is set to follow in these footsteps. Clare discusses what we can expect, about the success of her first novel, and what we can expect next.

Extraordinary and diverse people inhabit this rich, ripe, occasionally raucous collection of short stories. Some are based on real people - Jeanne Duval, Baudelaire's handsome and reluctant muse who never asked to be called the Black Venus, trapped in the terminal ennui of the poet's passion, snatching at a little lifesaving respectability against all odds....

'I started to write short pieces when I was living in a room too small to write a novel in.' So says Angela Carter of this collection, written during a period living in Toyko. These exotic, sensuous stories represent Carter's first major achievement in the short story form. Lush imaginary forests, a murderous puppet show and an expressionistic vision of Japan: each one instantly conjures an atmosphere, dark and luminous in turn, and from the recognisably daring imagination of one of the great 20th-century stylists.

Whatever happened to British protest? For a nation that brought the world Chartism, the Suffragettes, the Tolpuddle Martyrs and so many other grassroots social movements, Britain rarely celebrates its long, great tradition of people power. In this timely and evocative collection, 20 authors have assembled to reimagine key moments of British protest, from the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to the anti-Iraq War demo of 2003.
