Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine faded, corners slightly bruised, slight lean, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg copy for its age. 236pp. Henry Wilt is still teaching at the Fenland Tech, attempting to drill English into plasterers, dozing through tedious committee meetings and occasionally getting mildly plastered in 'The Pig in a Poke' with one of his few bearable colleagues. But the even tenor of his days is rudely interrupted when the shadow of drug dealing flickers across the Tech. Suddenly Wilt becomes the target of suspicion. His colleagues believe him to be responsible for triggering a departmental inquiry, and his old adversary Inspector Flint, knowing that he's guilty of something, sees a chance to settle a number of scores. What starts with an accusation of voyeurism in the staff lavatory (of the wrong gender to boot) leads, more or less directly, to a massive confrontation at a nearby US airbase with the forces of law and order on both sides and Wilt in his usual place, in the middle.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Operation Tannenbaum: The Nazi Plan to Invade Switzerland by Tom Ridley is a meticulous investigation into one of the least-known military operations of the Second World War-a campaign planned in secret, and never executed. In the summer of 1940, as German divisions stood astride Europe, the Wehrmacht drafted detailed invasion plans for neutral Switzerland: troop movements through the Jura, armored columns across the Rhine, and airstrikes over the mountain passes. The objective was clear-secure the heart of Europe and its strategic railways, gold reserves, and industrial capacity. Drawing on declassified German and Swiss archives, wartime intelligence files, and on-site fieldwork in the Alpine fortresses of the Reduit national, Ridley reconstructs the plan's conception, its logistical challenges, and the silent countermeasures that turned Switzerland into a fortress of rock and ice. Through the eyes of generals, spies, and mountaineers, Operation Tannenbaum reveals how geography, deterrence, and calculation shaped one of history's strangest standoffs-a battle that existed only on maps, yet shadowed the entire war. Written with precision and restraint, Ridley's account evokes the cold logic of wartime planning and the enduring power of terrain. It is a story of strategy without combat, resistance without victory parades, and a small nation's survival amid the machinery of total war. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Arctic Outpost: The Secret Weather War of the Third Reich by Tom Ridley is a gripping investigation into one of the most remote and least-known fronts of the Second World War. In the frozen silence of the Arctic, far beyond the reach of armies or civilians, small teams of German meteorologists and sailors built weather stations on Svalbard, Franz Josef Land, and even the coast of Labrador. Their mission was to feed critical data to the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine-forecasts that could decide the fate of convoys, naval battles, and invasions. Cut off from the world, these men fought a different kind of war: one against cold, isolation, and time itself. Drawing on declassified archives, Allied intelligence summaries, and modern expeditions to the surviving outposts, Ridley reconstructs the secret operations that shaped the "weather war." From U-boat supply runs beneath drifting ice to radio signals intercepted by Bletchley Park and Canadian listening posts in Labrador, Arctic Outpost reveals how science, secrecy, and endurance converged at the top of the world. With the precision of an investigative historian and the eye of a documentarian, Ridley follows the story from the destruction of Arctic convoys PQ-17 and PQ-18 to the last German surrender of the war-Weather Station Haudegen, which laid down arms months after Berlin fell. Along the way, he explores the strange beauty of abandoned stations, rusted transmitters, and frozen diaries that still lie beneath the snow. Evocative, factual, and quietly haunting, Arctic Outpost uncovers a forgotten chapter of global conflict-a war fought not for land, but for knowledge. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Vintage borderless reference photograph of director Ridley Scott with a camera crew on the set of the 1979 film. One of the greatest science fiction/horror films ever made, a franchise so rich in themes and expandability that it has generated three sequels and two prequels of comparable (or nearly comparable) artistic merit. The infamous "chest bursting" scene paved the way for future horror films to feature gore in more imaginative ways (but also caused viewers to vomit in theaters upon its initial release). Returning home from a mission, the crew of the spacecraft Nostromo is awakened by the ship's computer to answer a distress signal from a nearby planet. The rescue team discovers a bizarre pod field with pods housing unseen terror. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Effects. 10 x 8 inches. About Fine. National Film Registry. Ebert II.…
