They`re called Lincoln Lawyers: the bottom of the legal food chain, the criminal defence attorneys who operate out of the back of a Lincoln Town Car, taking whatever cases the system throws in their path. Mickey Haller has been in the business a long time, and he knows just how to work it. When a Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally beating a woman, Haller has his first high-paying client in years. The evidence mounts on the defence`s side, and Haller might even be in the rare position of defending a client who is actually innocent. But when his case starts to fall apart and neither the suspect nor the victim are quite who they seem, Haller quickly discovers that when you swim with the sharks, it`s easy to wind up as prey.

"The Last Man" is Mary Shelley`s apocalyptic fantasy of the end of human civilisation. Set in the late twenty-first century, the novel unfolds a sombre and pessimistic vision of mankind confronting inevitable destruction. Interwoven with her futuristic theme, Mary Shelley incorporates idealised portraits of Shelley and Byron, yet rejects Romanticism and its faith in art and nature. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was the only daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, author of "Vindication of the Rights of Woman", and the radical philosopher William Godwin. Her mother died ten days after her birth and the young child was educated through contact with her father`s intellectual circle and her own reading. She met Percy Bysshe Shelley in...

The Lord of the Rings cannot be described in a few words. J. R. R. Tolkien\'s great work has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic of science fic- tion. It is, however, impossible to convey to the new reader all of the book\'s qualities, and the range of its creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a new mythology in an invented world which has proved tuneless in its appeal. This one volume paperback edition includes the complete unabridged text of the three books, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two \'Towers and The Return of the King, that together make...
