The Story of a Stately Dolls House. It tells how a family of dolls, intent on bettering their circumstances, moved from their cramped quarters in a converted orange box to a specially build Stately Home. Though in the end this mansion boasted a staircase and sixteen rooms, two gardens and a choice collection of possessions, its owners resisted the temptation to open it to the public and instead decided to write a book about it.

Did you know that having a messy room will make you racist? or that human beings possess the ability to postpone death until after important ceremonial occasions? as nobel prize-winning economist ronald coase once cynically observed, 'if you torture data long enough, it will confess.' lying with statistics is a timehonoured con. In standard deviations, economics professor gary smith walks us through the various tricks and traps that people use to back up their own crackpot theories.

Wilde's Women: How Oscar Wilde Was Shaped by the Women He Knew

The first book to tell the story of the female family members, friends, and colleagues who traded witticisms with Wilde, who gave him access to vital publicity, and to whose ideas he gave expression through his social comediesIn this essential work, Eleanor Fitzsimons reframes Wilde’s story and his legacy through the women in his life, including such scintillating figures as Florence Balcombe; actress Lillie Langtry; and his tragic and witty niece, Dolly, who, like Wilde, loved fast cars, cocaine, and foreign women. Fresh, revealing, and entertaining, full of fascinating detail and anecdotes, Wilde’s Women relates the untold story of how a beloved writer and libertine played a vitally sympathetic role on behalf of many women, and how they supported him in the midst of a Victorian society in the process of changing forever. 24 b&w illustrations

Queen of Spies: Daphne Park, Britain's Cold War Spy Master

The true story of Daphne Park, the female British secret intelligence officer who rose through the male-dominated ranks to become the Queen of SpiesFrom living in a tin-roofed shack north of Dar-es-Salaam to becoming Baroness Park of Monmouth, Daphne Park led a most unusual life―one that consisted of a lifelong love affair with the world of Britain's secret services. In the 1970s, she was appointed to Secret Intelligence Service's most senior operational rank as one of its seven Area Controllers―an extraordinary achievement for a woman working within this most male-dominated and secretive of organizations.In Queen of Spies, Paddy Hayes recounts the fascinating story of the evolution of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) from World War II to the Cold War through the eyes of Daphne Park, one of its outstanding and most unusual operatives. He provides the reader with one of the most intimate narratives yet of how the modern SIS actually went about its business whether in Moscow, Hanoi, or the Congo, and shows how Park was able to rise through the ranks of a field that had been comprised almost entirely of men.Queen of Spies captures all the paranoia, isolation, deception of Cold War intelligence work, and combines it with the personal story of one extraordinary woman trying to navigate this secretive world. Hayes unveils all that it may be possible to know about the life of one of Britain's most celebrated spies. 24 b&w images in 1 8-pg insert
