A The Spectator and Observer Book of the YearThe NB column in the Times Literary Supplement, signed at the foot by J.C., occupied the back page of the paper for thirteen years. For a decade before that, it was in the middle pages. Thats roughly 60,000 words a year for twenty-three years.The purpose of the initials was not to disguise the author, but to offer complete freedom to the persona. J.C. was irreverent and whimsical. The column punctured pomposity, hypocrisy and cant in the literary world as one correspondent put it: skewering contemporary absurdities, whether those resulting from identity politics or from academic jargon. Readers came to expect reports from the Basement Labyrinth, where all executive decisions are made, and where annual literary prizes were judged and administered. These included the Most Unoriginal Title Prize for a new book bearing a title that had been used by several other authors (eg, The Kindness of Strangers); the Incomprehensibility Prize, for impenetrable academic writing; the Jean-Paul Sartre Prize for Prize Refusal, and the All Must Have Prizes Prize, for authors who have never won anything.Readers of NB by J.C. will find an off-beat guide to our cultural times. The book begins in 2001 and proceeds to 2020. The substantial Introduction offers a history of the TLS itself from birth through the precarious stages of its adaptation and survival.

Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood are some of the most beloved characters in classic children's literature.But before they appeared in many millions of books and in nearly fifty languages, they started life in the 1920s as the product of a unique collaboration between A. A. Milne and E. H Shepard; author and illustrator wove images and text together in a way that was utterly original for the time. For Shepard, it was a process that he relished, creating artwork for new editions right up until his death in 1976 at the age of ninety-six. In this beautifully presented, full-colour volume, readers will not only discover the story behind this remarkable partnership, but also follow the evolution of Shepard's work, from those first tentative sketches through to the illustrations we know and love, and even on to the characters' later incarnations at Disney. Presenting over 150 full-colour images - including never-before-published sketches, finished artwork, personal family photographs and memorabilia - this is the perfect gift for those of us who grew up loving the books

The events of September 11, 2001 and other subsequent examples of terrorism have sparked endless debate about terrorism as a form of Islamic jihad and how this relates to the beliefs and teachings of the Islamic religion. The debate has expanded to include discussions on the Quran, the Bible and Christianity, their relationship to each other, as well as to Western secular and democratic society. In most cases, the debate has taken established positions that have been issues between Muslims and Christians for over 1,400 years, and is conducted with little reference to, or quotations from, either the Quran or the Bible. In general, the commentary and opinions expressed do not seem to get to the heart of the conundrum presented by the intersection of Islam, Christianity and the secular Western world. Why do two religions say they believe in and worship the same single god, yet use different revelations from this god and appear to be at odds on so many matters of faith? Why would this single god present mankind with two revelations? And are the differences reconcilable and logically explainable? The Logic of the Quran is the result of the writers examination of these questions in a logical framework, rather than debating long-standing dogmatic theological positions. He attempts to avoid previous errors and uses quotations from both the Quran and the Bible extensively so the reader can form a balanced judgment.
