Chavs
Summary
In modern Britain, the working class has become an object of fear and ridicule. From Little Britain's Vicky Pollard to the demonization of Jade Goody, media and politicians alike dismiss as feckless, criminalized and ignorant a vast, underprivileged swathe of society whose members have become stereotyped by one, hate-filled word: chavs. In this acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from 'salt of the earth' to 'scum of the earth.' Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, he portrays a far more complex reality. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient fig leaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems and to justify widening inequality. When Chavs was first published in 2011 it opened up the discussion of class in Britain. Then, in the public debate after the riots of that summer, Owen Jones's thesis was proved right - the working class were the scapegoats for everything that was wrong with Britain. This new edition includes a new chapter, reflecting on the overwhelming response to the book and the situation in Britain today.

An Exciting Future: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya
Summary
Lek, the eldest child in a typical rice-farming family, did not hope for anything more than the other girls in her village: work in the fields for a few years; have a few babies; let mum take care of them and go back to work until they had their own children and it was her turn to take care of them. Suddenly, her father died with debts that the family knew nothing about. Lek was 20 and the only one who could prevent foreclosure. However, the only way she knew was to work in a bar in Pattaya. She went as a waitress, but when she became pregnant, things had to change. She had the baby, gave it to her mother, and went back to work. However, needing more money now, she drifted into the sex industry. The audiobook relates her "adventures", her dreams and nightmares. It shows, from Lek’s position, what it’s like to be a bar girl - the hopes and frustrations, the hopes and the let-downs, the hopes and the deceit that are part of her every-day life. One day, she meets a man she likes and he likes her too. Nothing new there, but she feels that it is different this time. They have a wonderful holiday and then he goes home - as they all had, leaving more promises and more hopes. This one returns, but real life with a real boyfriend is not as easy as she had dreamed it would be. After all she has been through, can she be a normal girlfriend or wife again? Could she ever trust a man enough? Or would she be better off giving up her dreams and just working in the bar? Lek begins to learn that getting what you want is not always all you hoped for. This second book in the trilogy called An Exciting Future: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya explores the characteristics needed by returning Thais and foreigners if they want to live in an isolated Thai village, where there are none of the trappings of city life. They move back to the village to be with Lek’s daughter, other family and old friends, but the villagers are not all as excited about Lek moving back as she is, although the only two who really matter, Soom and her mother are delighted. Craig is also happy to live in the village, although it is not at all easy for him as no-one there speaks English and the Internet does not work as well as he was led to believe. Will he be able to make ends meet? Will he be deported? And would Britain allow Lek in if he had no money? Will Lek and Craig manage to live in the village of Baan Suay or will the loneliness, the tedium and the lack of stimulation drive them away or even apart? "Behind the Smile" refers to the fact that Thailand is known the world over as "The Land of Smiles".

Centro Perfetto [Dead Centre]
Summary
Centro Perfetto:Quando gli Attentatori Suicidi non Sono dei Fanatici Religiosi! Quando un kamikaze si fa esplodere allo Sheherazade, un grande magazzino di Baghdad, la reazione delle autorità irachene è di considerarlo un normale atto di terrorismo e assegnare il caso al capitano Allawi della polizia nazionale irachena. Mentre ispeziona abitualmente le riprese video delle telecamere di sicurezza, un giovane poliziotto con la vista acuta nota che l’attentatore suicida non è quello che vuole far credere, e questo da una svolta all’indagine in una direzione che nessuno aveva mai considerato possibile prima. Le conseguenze di questa nuova forma di terrorismo sono terribili. Poi, in un breve lasso di tempo, si verificano altri sei crimini che coinvolgono attentatori suicidi, inspiegabili a meno che non siano visti alla stessa luce dell’attentato di Baghdad. Questo porta le forze di polizia di Marsiglia, Essen, Belfast, New York, Londra e Los Boliches a lavorare insieme sotto l’egida dell’Interpol per mettere fine a questa nuova banda criminale. Una svolta arriva quando la polizia si rende conto che ci sono diversi moventi per gli attentati suicidi, ma dal momento che i colpevoli sono imprevedibili, arrestarli diventa impossibile. L’unica tattica percorribile è concentrarsi sul metodo di ricerca degli attentatori, anche se ovviamente muoiono tutti nelle incursioni. Il caso inizia a sembrare senza speranza. Nonostante numerose piccole svolte, le forze di polizia congiunte, a capo del capitano Allawi, non riescono a compiere importanti progressi, quindi chiedono al governo cinese l’assistenza dei loro esperti di Internet, perché si ritiene che siano i migliori al mondo. I cinesi, con l’ausilio delle autorità lettoni e argentine, rintracciano il probabile quartier generale della banda nell’Inghilterra occidentale, e quando i loro omologhi britannici esaminano i dati.

Tigresse Lily de Bangkok [Tiger Lily of Bangkok: When the Seeds of Wrath Bloom]
Summary
Lily a été élevée dans le magasin de ses parents dans un village du nord-ouest de la Thaïlande, près de la frontière du Laos. La petite enfance de Lily était généralement heureuse même si ses parents ne montraient pas beaucoup leurs émotions car ceci était adapté selon leurs âges et leur culture. Malgré tout, Lily se sentait heureuse.
C’est-à-dire heureuse, jusqu’au moment ou un homme, un ami de la famille qui aidait dans la boutique, commence à abuser Lily à l’âge de onze ans seulement.
Lily ne sentait pas qu’elle pouvait en parler à ses parents et il a presque fallu deux ans avant que la chance lui sourît dans la cour de son école et c’est alors qu’une idée commença à s’élaborer dans son esprit pour mettre fin à son tourment.
La solution de Lily était radicale mais efficace. L’homme ne l’a plus jamais abusé mais son acte rendit les autres villageois méfiants envers elle. Lily grandit alors de plus en plus solitairement jusqu’à ce que, à l’âge de dix-huit, elle se déplaça à plus de 1,000 kilomètres plus loin dans la ville de Bangkok.
La vie à Bangkok n’était pas toujours facile car souvent l’argent manquait. Il ne s’est pas passé beaucoup de temps avant que la tension ne devienne intolérable, avec des conséquences désastreuses. Mais serait-ce arrivé si elle n’avait pas été maltraité alors qu’elle était encore enfant?
Tigresse Lily de Bangkok est l’histoire passionnante de la quête de vengeance d’une jeune femme.

Dead Centre
Summary
When a suicide bomber detonates his vest in Scheherazade's, an up-market department store in Baghdad, the first reaction of the Iraqi authorities is to treat it as a normal act of terrorism and hand it over to Captain Allawi of the Iraqi National Police. However, while routinely inspecting the video footage from the store's security cameras, a sharp-eyed, young police officer notices that the suicide bomber is not all that he makes himself out to be and this leads the investigation down a path that no-one had ever considered possible before. The consequences of this new form of terrorism are horrific. Then, over a short space of time, six other crimes involving suicide bombers occur that are inexplicable unless thy are seen in the same light as the Baghdad bombing. This leads the police forces of six other cities - Marseille, Essen, Belfast, New York, London, and Los Boliches - to work together under the umbrella of Interpol to put an end to this new criminal gang. A twist comes when the police realise that there are several motives for the suicide bombings, but because the perpetrators are unpredictable, it makes apprehending them impossible. Their only viable tactic is to concentrate on the source of the bombers themselves, although they obviously all die in the raids. The case starts to look hopeless. Despite numerous breaks-through, the combined police forces, loosely headed by Captain Allawi, fail to make any serious headway, so they ask the Chinese government for the assistance of their Internet experts, because they are widely believed to be the best in the world. The Chinese, with some help from the Latvian and Argentine authorities, trace the gang's probable headquarters to "West England", but when their British counterparts examine the data, they pinpoint it to West Wales. The SAS is called in from Hereford, when it is realised that ex-military personnel are probably involved in the bombings because of the style, the planning and the precision of the attacks. The SAS soon narrow their operations down to a lonely farmhouse located outside St. David's in Pembroke, southwest Wales. This sets the scene for the final battle to stamp out the leadership of the gang. Dead Centre is a fast-paced action thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. The story takes place in nine countries and dozens of cities. However, as the saying goes, when the SAS are called in, you know it's getting serious! An honorary member of the 'Costa del Sol series.

Acne Treatment: How To...
Summary
Acne is the blight of hundreds of millions of people around the world, and most of those people are young and emotionally ill-equipped to deal with the embarrassment, even guilt and shame, and often bullying too, that all too often accompany an outbreak of acne. Even worse are the facial scars that are a sad, but constant reminder of having suffered a breakout or even a more severe case of acne previously. They are intolerable because of their seeming permanence and their non-complimentary appearance. This book supplies the sufferer of acne with the best possible defence against this potentially life-destroying condition, which is knowledge - the information necessary to avoid, cope with, and get rid of acne.
