Alan the Bear and his friends are off to a birthday party, as the star of I Need a Wee returns for his very own lift-the-flap board book series.
Alan Turing was one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. He created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer and is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. During World War II, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre, where he was responsible for breaking German naval codes, including the supposedly unbreakable Enigma code, and helping the Atlantic convoys avoid German U-boat attacks. This work probably shortened World War II by up to four years, saving millions of lives. This is the story of the amazing life and work of a British hero and one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century.
It is a special footballer who wins the World Cup as a 21-year-old and ends a two-decade career as one of the most revered players in the history of four clubs. Former England captain Alan Ball was such a man: prodigy at Blackpool, youngest hero of 1966, Championship winner at Everton, British-record signing for the second time at Arsenal and veteran schemer for Southampton - not to mention footwear trend-setter. And all after being told he was too small to succeed in the game.Yet his years as a flat-cap wearing manager consisted mostly of relegation and promotion battles, some successful and some not, and plenty of frustration as he fought to produce winners in his own image and emulate the feats of his playing days. His life already touched tragically by the car crash that killed his father and the loss of his beloved wife Lesley to cancer, Ball died, aged only 61, after suffering a heart attack during a garden blaze.A decade on from his death, and drawing on interviews with family, friends and colleagues including Jimmy Armfield, Sir Geoff Hurst, George Cohen, Gordon Banks, Joe Royle, Mick Channon, Lawrie McMenemy, Francis Lee, George Graham, Frank McLintock, Matthew Le Tissier and many more, Alan Ball: The Man in White Boots is the definitive study of one of English football's most enduring figures.

Alan Power Exposed: Hundreds of Errors in "The Princess Diana Conspiracy"

This extensive book review - written by an expert on the murder of Princess Diana - exposes Alan Power as a fraudster. Over 200 separate errors are shown, but with Power's propensity for repetition there are actually well over 500. The most disturbing factor is the nature of the errors - the 180 page review reveals that Power has deliberately duped his readers. There are many instances of Power fraudulently altering sworn witness evidence to fit with his pre-determined false scenario of what occurred. Alan Power Exposed shows that Power's book is a minefield of deceptive writing, manipulation of evidence, misinformation and misrepresentation of the facts. In the end it becomes impossible for the reader of The Princess Diana Conspiracy to discern what is fact and what is fiction or fantasy. At one point Power writes: "Rest assured, my perception is not given to exaggeration or fancy but is based on the facts" - but unfortunately the truth is quite the opposite. Power's claims of carrying out a ten year investigation and scrutinising the inquest evidence are shown to be false. Questions are raised over the book's authorship - there is evidence indicating the probability that there was more than one writer. The review also addresses the incredible "coincidence" in the timing of Power's publication - it was published within days of the Scotland Yard announcement that it was scoping new information on the crash, an allegation by Soldier N that the SAS were involved. Alan Power Exposed includes an analysis dealing with the reasons why there are so many critical errors in The Princess Diana Conspiracy - it is not an accident. The review raises the very real possibility that Power's book may in the future be used by the Establishment to deal a strategic blow against the entire Princess Diana conspiracy movement. This is an incisive review written by John Morgan, who has authored nine investigative books on the assassination of Princess Diana. He is viewed by many as the world's leading expert on the circumstances around the 1997 crash in Paris' Alma Tunnel. This is a must read for anyone who has read - or intends to read - Alan Power's book, The Princess Diana Conspiracy: The Evidence of Murder.
