Then something would bring it back or it would return in a dream. The dream always began in the same way. <br><br>She and her mother would be climbing the stairs, following Heather&#8217; s lead through the bedroom to what was on the other side, not a bathroom in the dream but a chamber floored and walled in marble. In the middle of it was a glassy lake. The white thing in the water floated towards her, its face submerged, and her mother said, absurdly, &#8220; Don&#8217; t look! &#8221; <br>The dead man was Ismay&#8217; s stepfather, Guy. Now, nine years on, she and her sister, Heather, still live in the same house in Clapham. But it has been divided into two self-contained flats. Their mother had lived upstairs with her sister, Pamela. And the bathroom, where Guy had drowned, had disappeared. <br><br>Ismay worked in public relations, and Heather in catering. They got on well. They always had. They never discussed the changes to the house, still less what had happened that August day. . . <br><br>But even lives as private as these, where secrets hang in the air like dust, intertwine with other worlds and other individuals. And, with painful inevitability, the truth will emerge. ., Crown, 2007, HarperCollins UK. New in New dust jacket. 2007. Hardcover. 9780007241644 . New book in new dust jacket. No marks. An affectionate portrait of British clergy and their dogs, capturing the eccentricities of the owners and the many and varied charms of their pets. From England to Scotland, inner-city churches to country parishes, pedigrees to mongrels, these photographs capture the immense diversity of the human-canine relationship. Among the portraits are Reverend Pat Hopkins and Misty, his river-swimming Rottweiler, and Father Richard Williams and his standard poodle, Jimmy, who faithfully attends all his services. With distinctive photography of both the dogs and their respective people in and around the churches they serve, this is a great gift and a fascinating insight into the lives of today's clergy?

Description: In this brilliantly researched exposé, ‘communications Rottweiler’ Sharon Beder blasts open the backrooms and boardrooms to expose how the international corporate elite dictate global politics for their own benefit. Beder shows how they created business associations and ‘think tanks’ in the 1970s to drive public policy, forced the worldwide privatization and deregulation of public services in the 1980s and 1990s (enabling a massive transfer of ownership and control over essential services) and, still not satisfied, have worked relentlessly since the late 1990s to rewrite the very rules of the global economy to funnel wealth and power into their pockets. Want a globalized and homogenized world of conflict, poverty and massive environmental degradation run by a corporate oligarchy that wipes its feet on democracy? Or a democratic world, where poverty is history, companies work for people and clean water is a right not a privilege you pay for? Beder’s message is clear - it’s your world, and it’s time to fight for it.
