Book excerpt: An “intelligent, disturbing slice of noir” that portrays the man who derailed the police investigation into the Yorkshire Ripper (The Guardian). In this provocative novel, Mark Blacklock portrays the true and complex history of John Humble, aka Wearside Jack, the Ripper Hoaxer, a timewaster and criminal, sympathetic and revolting, the man hidden by a wall of words, a fiction-spinner worthy of textual analysis. In this remarkable work, John Humble leads the reader into an allusive, elusive labyrinth of interpretations, simultaneously hoodwinking and revealing. I’m Jack is a riveting novel about truth, lies, prison and shame. It is also a profound and furious love letter to Sunderland. It is a puzzle, a hoax, a multi-voice portrait and a virtuoso assemblage of textual elements. I’m Jack announces the arrival of a radically talented and innovative novelist. “A gripping study in self-invention—and, ultimately, self-erasure.”—Tom McCarthy, author of the Man Booker Prize finalists, Satin Island and C “Here are dark telegrams from an expertly realized otherness that is Sunderland. Spare. Swift. Smart. And dangerous. Carrying us through maps of shame to rescue a convincing fiction of the past from its sullen entropy.”—Iain Sinclair, award-winning author of The Last London “A chilling debut . . . An audacious exercise in mimicry . . . Its tone is mischievous, with a vein of dark, crafty humor—though the overall effect is somber. Blacklock’s Humble is impossible to like; yet by the end it is almost impossible not to feel sorry for him.”—Financial Times “A deftly executed ventriloquist act, it’s anchored in the true story of notorious hoaxer John Humble.”—Observer

Book excerpt: "Genius! Highly entertaining and brilliantly deranged."—Maxim Spam is the plague of the electronic age, comprising 90% of all e-mails and illegally netting millions of dollars each year. Into this frustrating wave of directed marketing steps the brave figure of Bob Servant, a former window cleaner and cheeseburger magnate with a love of wine, women, and song—as well as a devious sense of fair play. In collusion with his "editor" Neil Forsyth, Bob gives spammers a taste of their own medicine. This wickedly funny and original book features the anarchic exchanges between Bob and the hapless spam merchants who unwittingly flood his inbox. As they offer him African fortunes, Russian brides, and get-rich-quick scams, he turns the tables by offering them some outlandish schemes of his own. Upping the ante with the skill of a seasoned pro, Bob demands legal asylum, shoulders to cry on, and gold lions that speak—and almost gets his way. The result is page after page of wacky and hilarious e-mail exchanges—and a cathartic release for anyone whose inbox has been deluged with unwanted e-mail. 22 b/w photographs.

Book excerpt: Lithium batteries may hold the key to an environmentally sustainable, oil-independent future. From electric cars to a "smart" power grid that can actually store electricity, letting us harness the powers of the sun and the wind and use them when we need them, lithium—a metal half as dense as water, found primarily in some of the most uninhabitable places on earth—has the potential to set us on a path toward a low-carbon energy economy. In Bottled Lightning, the science reporter Seth Fletcher takes us on a fascinating journey, from the salt flats of Bolivia to the labs of MIT and Stanford, from the turmoil at GM to cutting-edge lithium-ion battery start-ups, introducing us to the key players and ideas in an industry with the power to reshape the world. Lithium is the thread that ties together many key stories of our time: the environmental movement; the American auto industry, staking its revival on the electrification of cars and trucks; the struggle between first-world countries in need of natural resources and the impoverished countries where those resources are found; and the overwhelming popularity of the portable, Internet-connected gadgets that are changing the way we communicate. With nearly limitless possibilities, the promise of lithium offers new hope to a foundering American economy desperately searching for a green-tech boom to revive it.

Book excerpt: The book is focused on the common problem faced by people. People often find themselves constantly procrastinating even though it causes them much anxiety later. A question that is frequently asked by a lot people to the therapists and coaches is why do they keep on procrastinating? Author Rachanaa Jain deals with just that in this book. Even though most of us know what exactly we need to do, we often put those tasks away up until the very last minute. And this is not just a one-time thing. It has been noticed by many that this falls into a pattern that keeps repeating itself, and people find themselves trapped in and swirling down the familiar whirlpool of stress and anxiety because of their own procrastination. The book will enable readers to change their perceptions that inhibit and limit their efforts to change dreams into reality. Rachanaa Jain has put forward a very effective six-step DREAMS system to prevent people from trenches of procrastination that only hinders our true success in her latest book. Moreover, putting off work for later and finishing up in the last minute only depreciates the quality of our work. This often gives us a bad reputation with colleagues, family, and friends and may even get us into serious troubles and costs you big time. This book touches over points like, why people often find themselves procrastinating, even when they have an important task at hand. The book is aimed at helping people bring out the power they have within themselves to make one’s dream into reality. Readers can hope to achieve an effective and healthy “mind diet” from this book that will help them heal their spirit, body, and mind. The book provides guiding steps by which people can find the motivation of getting out of their comfort zone and trying out new things.

Book excerpt: Terry Ravenscroft is back, putting pen to paper once more, and this time he's taking on the major food and drink corporations. No one is safe as Terry targets companies from Kellogg's and Ryvita to Mars, Heinz and Cadbury with his irritating epistles. Terry tackles everything from quality and pricing to taste and advertising campaigns, quizzing companies like Ferrero about why it's impossible to 'feel the nuts' in Nutella spread 'despite going through it with a fine tooth comb'. Combining the author's trademark humour with a sly nod at the megalomania of global corporations, Dear Customer Services is a letters book with a difference, giving everyone who's ever had a reason to dislike the big companies a big laugh at their expense!
