This is the Discworld’s last continent a completely separate creation. It’s hot. It’s dry…very dry. There was this thing once called the Wet which no-one now believes in. Practically everything that’s not poisonous is venomous. But it’s the best bloody place in the world all right? And it’ll die in a few days except…Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep shearer horse rider road warrior beer drinker bush ranger and someone who’ll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he’s sober? A man in a hat whose luggage follows him on little legs who’s about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing a jumbuck by a billabong? Yes…all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom is Rincewind the inept wizard who can’t even spell wizard. He’s the only hero left. Still…no worries eh? “The Last Continent” is the twenty-second in Terry Pratchett’s phenomenally successful “Discworld” series. Terry Pratchett would like it to be known that “The Last Continent” is not a book about Australia it’s just vaguely Australian.

Alan Bennett’s new award-winning play as heard on BBC Radio 3 features the National Theatre cast. “A superb life-enhancing play.” – “Guardian.” “Intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny.” – “Daily Telegraph.” After a sell-out national tour and an extended stage run Alan Bennett’s phenomenally successful play transfers to BBC Radio 3. Richard Griffiths Clive Merrison and Frances de la Tour star as part of the National Theatre cast. At a boys’ grammar school in Sheffield eight boys are being coached for the Oxbridge entrance exams. It is the mid-eighties and the main concern of the unruly bunch of bright sixth-formers is getting out starting university – and starting life. At the heart of “The History Boys” are four characters each with contrasting outlooks on teaching and school: Hector an eccentric English teacher with no interest in exams; Irwin a young supply teacher who sees history as ‘entertainment'; Mrs Lintott a traditionalist who teaches ‘history not histrionics'; and a Headmaster obsessed with results. Described as “the richest play Bennett has ever written” (“Financial Times”) staff-room rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence collide in an intensely moving and thought-provoking play. It is the winner of the Olivier Evening Standard Critics’ Circle and South Bank Show Awards for Best New Play.

The God Delusion caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized the rise of religious fundamentalism whether in the Middle East or Middle America is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America and elsewhere a vigorous dispute between ‘intelligent design’ and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women’s and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war foments bigotry and abuses children. “The God Delusion” is a brilliantly argued fascinating polemic that will be required reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.
