Bøker utgitt av Monday Books

A beautifully-written and thought-provoking collection of essays on social, political and literary issues as diverse as the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand controversy, violent crime on Britain''s streets, the effects of the welfare state, modern architecture and the respective merits of Shakespeare and Dr Johnson. Dalrymple uses examples from his long career as a prison doctor and his travels to every corner of the globe to illustrate his central view: that Britain is in the throes of social, cultural and political decline.

PC David Copperfield is an ordinary bobby quietly waging war on crime...when he''s not drowning in a sea of paperwork, government initiatives and bogus paperwork. Wasting Police Time is a hilarious but shocking picture of life in a modern British town, where teenage yobs terrorise the elderly, drunken couples brawl in front of their children and muggers roam free. Copperfield reveals how crime is spiralling while millions of tax pounds are frittered away. Coppersblog, his award-winning online diary, has attracted rave reviews from The Guardian, Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph.
