Amazon Top 10 Seller "Dreyfus writes with the darkly absurd humour of a thirsty and somewhat paranoid Jonathan Swift."--PopMatters "If his work doesn't make you think, I suggest getting your doctor to prescribe a course of fluoride tablets, subscribe to the Daily Mirror and vote in this year's X Factor." --The Canary Jake Miller has just been shot by a member of the British Counterterrorism Unit. As he lies on his bedroom floor, wondering if he's going to bleed out, he attempts to put the last few months of his life into perspective. One minute he's starting a high-flying job in the corporate banking sector; the next minute he's commanding a legion of disaffected computer users known as Generation Y-bother. They know Jake only by his hacking name Spark and the videos he uploads to his YouTube account, but they're determined to help him bring about the end of the world as we know it. The problem is not everybody's on board his battleship... Spark is Rupert's debut novel. Renowned for his sardonic humour and social conscience, he has since become an award winning, Amazon top 10 selling author, winning over critical acclaim from many media outlets and book blogs.
""This book is in two parts. In the first I try to set out my reasons for being a Protestant; in the second are my reasons for rejecting Roman Catholicism. I make here a personal profession of faith, which binds nobody but myself. But it may be that the reasons for which I must be Protestant and cannot be a Roman Catholic will be of interest to to other Protestants who wish to be surer of their faith, and to those people who are attracted by some parts of Roman Catholic doctrine. I even dare to hope that some who have embraced the Roman Catholic faith will read what I have written, with their minds open to truth. I am a Methodist, a Protestant and a Catholic. I therefore pray that this book may tend, not to further division, but to the greater unity of the Holy Catholic Church, which is the Body of Christ and the People of God."" -- From the Foreword

The proceedings of the Methodist Church Congress held in The Central Hall, Bristol -- October 7-10, 1929. This volume is offered to a wider public in belief that the effort of the Congress to bring out the value and significance for the life of today of the Methodist Witness to ""a free, full, present, salvation,"" deserves a permanent record. For the individual reader, we venture to suggest that the book should be read with the endeavor to relate the addresses with the accompanying devotional exercises as they are presented for the proceedings of each session. It is for this purpose that the devotional services have been combined with the respective addresses. For the same reason it is also hoped that the book may provide a welcome and inspiring textbook and devotional guide for the Guilds and Study Circles.

During the last three quarters of a century, the rate and character of change in all human affairs have been phenomenal. How has the Christian church in its various forms reacted the this series of revolutions--revolutions which have often vitally affected its own ways of thinking, its styles of life, and its worship? In particular, how has it responded to the idea of visible Christian unity, which long lay dormant, but now has taken fire in the lives of millions of its members? This book seeks to answer these and similar questions. It gives what is at many points an ""inside story"" of the significant events, since the author has taken an active part, and often a leading part, in a great deal of what he describes.

The Battle of the Somme: World War One's Bloodiest Battle. The Battle of the Somme lives in our collective imagination as the epitome of pointless slaughter on the battlefield. A century on, the Somme has come to symbolise the futile horror of trench warfare. The first day of the Somme, 1 July 1916, was the blackest day in British military history - 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 dead. This concise account of the Battle of the Somme includes a summary of the First World War leading up to July 1916, plans and preparations for the Somme Offensive, the role of Douglas Haig, the First Day of the Somme and the continuing battle, followed by a summary of the war to 11 November 1918. There are tales of men who won the Victoria Cross at the Somme and those shot for desertion; and accounts of famous people who fought at the Somme, including future British prime minister Harold Macmillan; Siegfried Sassoon; mountaineer, George Mallory; Adolf Hitler; one of Britain's first black professional footballers, Walter Tull; and authors J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert Graves; among others. Author, Rupert Colley, founder of the bestselling History In An Hour series, provides a short but compelling overview of this epic and devastating World War One battle.

Sixty years ago, the people of Hungary stood up to Soviet tyranny. In Budapest and throughout the nation, civilians demanded freedom from Soviet oppression and their country's communist government. It was one of the defining moments of the Cold War. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 constituted the most serious threat to the USSR's hegemony throughout the Cold War years. It is a story of extraordinary bravery in a fight for autonomy against a ruthless superpower. Rupert Colley, founder of the bestselling 'History In An Hour' series, recounts the years leading up to the days of October 1956, from the post-First World War years, the Second World War and Nazi Germany's occupation of Hungary, to the post-war Stalinist years. He recounts the days of the uprising from its heroic beginnings to its tragic end; and finishes with an account of the immediate post-revolution years and the subsequent downfall of communism in Hungary in 1989. Illustrated with over 30 contemporary photographs, The Hungarian Revolution, 1956 provides a perfect introduction to one of the momentous occasions in 20th century history.

A sparkling account of the nineteenth-century reinvention of Paris as the most beautiful, exciting city in the world In 1853, French emperor Louis Napoleon inaugurated a vast and ambitious program of public works in Paris, directed by Georges-Eug Haussmann, the prefect of the Seine. Haussmann transformed the old medieval city of squalid slums and disease-ridden alleyways into a "City of Light" characterized by wide boulevards, apartment blocks, parks, squares and public monuments, new rail stations and department stores, and a new system of public sanitation. City of Light charts this fifteen-year project of urban renewal which -- despite the interruptions of war, revolution, corruption, and bankruptcy -- set a template for nineteenth and early twentieth-century urban planning and created the enduring landscape of modern Paris now so famous around the globe. Lively and engaging, City of Light is a book for anyone who wants to know how Paris became Paris.
