Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

The problem of hooliganism among English football supporters has been a major cause for concern for over 30 years. Has the war on hooliganism been won? Can it ever be won? Whose war is it anyway? Stott and Pearson take an engaging look at the different policies, strategies and tactics used by the government to tackle football hooliganism. From the use of 'robo-cops', tear gas and water-cannon to the imposition of Football Banning Orders, the authors explain the origins, limitations and thinking behind this powerful and far-reaching use of legislation.

2008-08-19 A must-read for journalists and police officers everywhere

Every time there is a major football tournament, the newspapers print the same horror stories. What can be done about these rampaging thugs? Why are football fans so badly behaved? Won't somebody please think of the children?

Drs. Pearson and Stott's book evaluates the received wisdom propagated by the media against actual evidence. Without glamorizing crowd disorder but also without hand-wringing or judgement, it is a sober but engaging account of why disorder takes place, why it doesn't take place, and how, with correct policing procedures, it can be avoided.

It also offers a disturbing case study into how the modern media works, and how a lie, repeated often enough, becomes received wisdom.
