About Falk City Pocket Plans: Street maps covering a slightly smaller area than that represented on the Falk Extra edition, thus folding down to a more handy size (10 x 17cm). Some of them are drawn with a varying scale which, for clarity, presents the city centre at a slightly larger scale than the outer districts. Main landmarks & public buildings are indicated, also one-way streets, car parks & all the public transport facilities eg. tram & bus routes, U-bahns. These plans of larger cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the U-Bahn & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index on the reverse side which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Also included is a smaller scale map of the city & its immediate environs, showing main roads & railways. Map legend

August Heat by Andrea Camilleri, is the tenth instalment in the Inspector Montalbano series, adapted as a major BBC4 television series. This edition featuring a stunning redesigned cover. Montalbano quickly slammed the trunk shut & sat down on top of it. When the beam from Livia`s torch shone on his face, he automatically smiled. ` What`s in the trunk?` Livia asked. ` Nothing. It`s empty.` How could he possibly have told her there was a corpse inside? The lazy, slow month of August at the height of the Sicilian summer is, Inspector Montalbano assures his girlfriend Livia as they prepare for a relaxing holiday in a villa he has found for them, far too hot for any murders to be committed. But when Livia`s friends` young son goes missing, a chain of events is sparked which will certainly ruin the Chief Inspector`s pleasant interlude. A secret apartment & a grisly find in an old trunk are just the beginning, as Montalbano navigates his way though the case, as well as coping with the sweltering heat, the suspicious death of an Arab labourer & the tempting lure of a beautiful girl... August Heat is followed by the eleventh book in the series, The Wings of the Sphinx. ...

A major new interpretation of how one of the great figures of Christian history came to write the greatest of all autobiographies Augustine is the person from the ancient world about whom we know most. He is the author of an intimate masterpiece, the Confessions, which continues to delight its many admirers. In it he writes about his infancy & his schooling in the classics in late Roman North Africa, his remarkable mother, his sexual sins (` Give me chastity, but not yet, ` he famously prayed), his time in an outlawed heretical sect, his worldly career & friendships & his gradual return to God. His account of his own eventual conversion is a classic study of anguish, hesitation & what he believes to be God`s intervention. It has inspired philosophers, Christian thinkers & monastic followers, but it still leaves readers wondering why exactly Augustine chose to compose a work like none before it. Robin Lane Fox follows Augustine on a brilliantly described journey, combining the latest scholarship with recently found letters & sermons by Augustine himself to give a portrait of his subject which is subtly different from older biographies. Augustine`s heretical years as a Manichaean, his relation to non-Christian philosophy, his mystical aspirations & the nature of his conversion are among the aspects of his life which stand out in a sharper light. For the first time Lane Fox compares him with two contemporaries, an older pagan & a younger Christian, each of whom also wrote about themselves & who illumine Augustine`s life & writings by their different choices. More than a decade passed between Augustine`s conversion & his beginning the Confessions. Lane Fox argues that the Confessions & their thinking were the results of a long gestation over these years, not a sudden change of perspective, but that they were then written as a single swift composition & that its final books are a coherent consummation of its scriptural meditation & personal biography. This exceptional study reminds us why we are so excited & so moved by Augustine`s story. ...
