Robert Penn takes his cycling obsession to a new level in search of the perfect bike. As he marvels at the very best in bicycle design and craftsmanship around the world, he tells the quirkiest and most remarkable stories inspired by a simple yet revolutionary machine.
Wealthy

In this groundbreaking and controversial book, Dambisa Moyo challenges the effectiveness of charity, revealing that the $1 trillion of aid that Western governments have given to Africa over the last fifty years has actually made the continent poorer. Dead Aid shows the horrific failures of the current system but never loses hope that another way is possible.
Wise
£12.99
James' Oxford education consists of champagne, parties and love affairs - not in the cloistered world of the colleges, but in the crumbling mansion of the charming but destructive Mark Winters, whose inheritance funds a hedonism that James' impressionable mind cannot resist. As Oxford gives way to adult life, Mark's erratic behaviour reaches new heights, and James finds himself unprepared for the challenges he faces.
