The antistyle bible for those who ignore makeover culture, Living Normally is an interiors book with a difference. Fifteen inhabitants of ordinary homes are given the chance to air their views on life at home today and to have the world come for a cuppa at their place. The results are a snapshot of Britain today and a refreshing reminder that a home should be a place to escape to; to feel happy in; and to live in. This affectionately photographed look at our everyday homes is a celebration of nice people, the modern family and our need to surround ourselves with memories and the curious ephemera of daily existence. Meet Evelyn, the lady who came from St Vincent and stayed because she loves the snow. Share some time with Ivy, whose house is full of memories of her children and her beloved Albert, the spoon-playing policeman whom she recently lost. Enjoy these and all the others in this charming evocation of simple existence.

A challenge to assumptions about sex in our society confronts the unrealistic expectations that leave many couples disappointed in their love lives, and explores a new view of sex in relationships that allows intimates to stop berating themselves over what they do not have.

Normal Accidents analyzes the social side of technological risk. Charles Perrow argues that the conventional engineering approach to ensuring safety--building in more warnings and safeguards--fails because systems complexity makes failures inevitable. He asserts that typical precautions, by adding to complexity, may help create new categories of accidents. (At Chernobyl, tests of a new safety system helped produce the meltdown and subsequent fire.) By recognizing two dimensions of risk--complex versus linear interactions, and tight versus loose coupling--this book provides a powerful framework for analyzing risks and the organizations that insist we run them. The first edition fulfilled one reviewer's prediction that it "may mark the beginning of accident research." In the new afterword to this edition Perrow reviews the extensive work on the major accidents of the last fifteen years, including Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Challenger disaster. The new postscript probes what the author considers to be the "quintessential 'Normal Accident'" of our time: the Y2K computer problem.

Prostitution has been with us since the beginning of time. It does not need to continue. Though some women entered it willingly, most were forced to enter the profession and always the control was by someone else. Prostitutes need to know that there are ways and means to escape the web of prostitution, that they can determine their own future. Such means are enabled by concerned lay folk who have worked together to learn and express concern for the prostitute. This is a guidebook or manual for such folk. All the world's communities are different, and all the prostitutes are uniquely different, but all can benefit from "Out Of The Web."
