So You Think You Know Me?
Authors: Allan Weaver. Paperback, 212 pagesPublisher: Waterside Press Publication Date: 2008-09 Reviews :
As the local hard man, author Allan Weaver took no prisoners in his youth. Neither does he in this compelling work in which he describes an early life of increasingly violent episodes, in which teachers, social workers and others never sought to get to know him - or what his offending was about. Hence, a never-ending escalation of his violent activities, creating tensions for his family, friends and often dubious associates in the seaside town where he grew up."So You Think You Know Me?" is infused with contradictions in which the Allan Weaver who commits sometimes unspeakable acts of mayhem and aggression is not the Allan Weaver telling the story from inside his own head: an often vulnerable, sensitive, articulate and (if somewhat crazily) balanced individual to whom his own actions never seem to make any sense beyond a misguided insistence on living up to his tough guy image and reputation. That there can be any tidy ending to this gritty true account of a life spent in residential homes, Borstal, prison and always at a respectful distance from the police and other authority figures is remarkable - as are his own comments on a present-day Criminal Justice System that he believes is still failing young people for reasons which are given in the book. It is essential reading for anyone involved with serious young offenders, especially those of a violent disposition....

I Was A Jerk!: True Confessions of a Divorced Husband
Authors: Blake Ramsey. Paperback, 68 pagesPublisher: iUniverse, Inc. Publication Date: 2007-12-20 Edition: 0 Reviews :
I first wrote this book just for me. Then I realized that others, like you, might want it too. Like me, have you ever acted like a jerk to your wife? And did you do it more than once? And if you haven’t, would you like to read about someone who did? Like the title says—that was me— I was a jerk. A husband … jerk. I would now like to qualify though that this book is written for everyone … jerks, non-jerks, married people, divorced people, single people, dating people … and everyone else with a pulse. Why? It is unlike anything you’ve ever read before. I hope that this sometimes funny and often thought-provoking confession will truly entertain you. But, I hope for more than that—I hope … that it leads you. To what? That’s for you to find out. Go ahead—eavesdrop on my mistakes. Be my guest, and you’ll learn all kinds of embarrassing things about me … if that interests you. I could write about all of them, but the book wouldn’t be able to fit in your trunk. But whatever you do, don’t enjoy this … too much. It might be hazardous to your TV time....

A Computer Called Leo
Authors: Georgina Ferry. Paperback, 242 pagesPublisher: HarperCollins UK Publication Date: 2004-08-01 Reviews :
The Lyons teashops were one of the great British institutions, providing a cup of tea and a penny bun through the depression and the war, though to the 1970s. Yet Lyons also has a more surprising claim to history. In the 1930s John Simmons, a young maths graduate in charge of the clerks' offices, had a dream: to build a machine that would automate the millions of tedious transactions and process them in as little time as possible. Simmons' quest for the first office computer—the Lyons Electronic Office—would take 20 years and involve some of the most brilliant young minds in Britain. Interwoven with the story of creating LEO is the story of early computing, from the Difference Engine of Charles Babbage to the codecracking computers at Bletchley Park and the instantly obsolescent ENIAC in the US. It is also the story of postwar British computer business. Why did it lose the initiative? Why did the US succeed while British design was often superior? ...

Traces of Guilt
Authors: Neil Barrett. Mass Market Paperback, 359 pagesPublisher: Corgi Publication Date: 2005-02-28 Reviews :
Nearly every week the headlines of national newspapers shout allegations about the latest credit card fraud, internet paedophile, or major corporations whose computers have been hacked. But what people may not realize is that the nature of computer crime is becoming even more sophisticated. The role computers play in crime, and in particular the detection and prosecution of crime has never been as significant as it is today. In a gripping true-life detective story, ex-hacker and now one of the UK’s leading crime experts Neil Barrett guides us into a world where the seemingly innocuous computer screen can provide a window into the mind of even the most hardened criminal. Through some of his own high profile cases, Barrett show us the cutting edge of modern crime. It is a dimly-lit world where hackers pit their wits, man to man, with the police experts and where the digital detective is the latest and best weapon in the police arsenal....
