This book covers the stories of "The Herald of Free Enterprise", the King's Cross fire and the explosion on the Piper Alpha oil platform. It looks at the warnings that were given before anything happened, the sequence of events leading up to each of them and what happened next. The author examines future possible disasters precipitated by overcrowed skies and pilot fatigue; busy shipping lanes; the accumulation of toxic and nuclear wastes and the greenhouse effect, and suggests that certain preventative measures could be taken such as the setting up of a national disaster agency and organization, altering the law so that action can be taken against corporations that are negligent and try to ensure that profit is not invariably put before people's safety and wellbeing.

At the sign of the Swan: An introduction to Shakespeare's contemporaries

<p>In the tumultuous world of Elizabethan theater, Shakespeare's contemporary Christopher Marlowe is notorious. Recklessly wayward, the dazzling author of plays both blasphemous and scandalous, he is also a member of Sir Walter Raleigh's secret society, the lover of the powerful Thomas Walsingham, and an occasional agent on the Queen's "most secret business." Marlowe knows too much.<br>For there are men - the Queen's Acting Secretary Robert Cecil and his spymaster among them - who want Marlowe silenced. With the aid of a forgotten manuscript, an unknown, unwitting actor, and a mysterious widow, some of Britain's most powerful will conspire to write Marlowe into a plot more complex, deadly, and artfully engineered than anything seen on the English stage....<br>With the pace and plot of a first-rate thriller, The Slicing Edge of Death is a brilliant evocation of an era, a startling portrait of a tormented man, and a chillingly plausible solution to a mystery that has puzzled historians for centuries. Published to coincide with the four hundredth anniversary of his death, the novel is a triumphant retelling of Christopher Marlowe's life and mysterious demise.</p>
