England 1938: Familie Blackett ist vor Kurzem an den Chatterton Square in Radstowe gezogen. Eigentlich könnte Vater Herbert mit seinem wohlgeordneten Leben zufrieden sein, gäbe es da nicht die aufreizend souveräne Nachbarin Rosamund Fraser, Mutter von fünf Kindern, die ihn gedanklich auf Abwege führt. Auch die schrullige Agnes Spanner, Rosamunds Freundin und Hausfaktotum, bereitet ihm Unbehagen, denn sie beobachtet alles, was bei den Blacketts und den Frasers vor sich geht. Und Agnes ahnt, dass es nicht nur am Chatterton Square dramatische Veränderungen geben wird. CHATTERTON SQUARE, 1947 erschienen, wirft einen Blick zurück auf die spannungsvollen letzten Monate der umstrittenen Appeasement-Politik von Premierminister Neville Chamberlain und erzählt geistreich und pointiert vom Alltag zweier Familien zwischen Vergangenheitsbewältigung und Lebensträumen ein Jahr vor Ausbruch des 2. Weltkriegs.

The year is 1973. The Bangladesh war of independence is over but the country remains in chaos. Gareth McKinley, a young Australian, arrives in the country to work on a project set up to care for destitute children. He quickly learns that living and working in a post-war environment can be dangerous. A crisis emerges when some children involved in the project cannot be accounted for. Does the explanation lie in a mysterious letter that seems to have been sent from Dubai? Dhanmondi Road sensitively captures the atmosphere of a country in turmoil and charts Gareth's progress towards increasing self-knowledge and -awareness in ways he could not have dreamed of before setting out on this journey.

"George Zimmer revolutionized the men's garment industry when he opened the Men's Wearhouse. From a single store, he grew the company into the world's largest men's specialty retailer. Millions of Americans knew him by his trademark commercial pitch: "I guarantee it." At the height of his success, George suffered a shocking ouster orchestrated by his hand-picked board of directors. Now, George returns to tell his story, from his upbringing in Scarsdale, New York, to his roll through the sixties, to his creation of the Men's Wearhouse, where he established an early model of what later came to be called stakeholder capitalism. George shows how he played a key role in the marijuana legalization movement, how he embraced the internet and scored again with a new online tuxedo-rental venture, and how an entrepreneur with soul and heart and an eye toward the future can never be sidelined"-- Provided by publisher
