With nothing else in mind to do for his future, Sandy promptly signs up for the navy, but with one thing on his mind, that is to follow up on his seduction by Pip, and ride the big one. What follows is a blow by blow (pun intended) account of Sandy's encounters, on ship and ashore, with shipmates and any number of gorgeous guys, one to one, threesomes and more; with Sandy thoroughly enjoys every minute of it, particularly when he is on the receiving end. An enjoyable and titillating diversion with the occasional surprise, Riding the Big One is well-worth reading.

Herein is preserved all that remains of an entire culture, fragments salvaged from the ruins of the Perdu Library by ex-President Perdu himself. About Perdu little is known, and still less about the destruction of the Library. That he was ambitious, that he liked power, that he wished to perpetuate himself and therefore gathered all the books of his republic into one vast library, that he had literary pretensions these are all the known facts. A marvelous collection.

""Just when you thought it was safe to go into a bookshop, here is yet another book from that man at the Herald Diary. It is the usual scintillating mixture of anecdote, pith (no, there is no lithp involved) and fable. There will also be some funny photies. This is the fifth book in the Tom Shields trilogy. Yes, his counting is as awful as his writing. This time, however, Shields does not bare the blame alone. This tome is culled from the Diary columns that Shields and Ken Smith wrote together five days a week at The Herald. This was before Pepys the Elder left to embark on a glittering career as a freelance writer, leaving the column in the capable hands of the talented-ish, young-ish, handsome Mr Smith. Tom Shields' writing is featured in four other Mainstream books- Tom Shields' Diary, Tom Shields Too, Tom Shields Free at Last and Tom Shields Goes Forth.""

What are folk desperate for these days? A laugh, we reckon. And fortunately the readers of The Herald newspaper agree, as over the past year they have sent the newspaper's Diary column their funniest moments, whether it's about the daft things that happen in their office, the outrageous comments they are told in the pub, or just the eyebrow-raising observations they overhear on the train into town. They even have the occasional smile over politics, would you believe. And the very best of them are gathered in this handy volume. So if you want to know why Scotsmen still cannot understand their partners, the funniest claims made on the golf course, and the outrageous shenanigans of police officers, apprentices, shop-workers and school teachers, then look no further.

Ken Smith is unquestionably one of the most interesting voices in landscape architecture; his works reflect the intensity and energy of their surroundings and challenge the distinction between landscape and art form. Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects focuses on three prominent works in New York City: his East River Project; his work for P.S. 19; and his MoMA rooftop garden. Through Smith's colorful, playful drawings and photographs, the book reveals how each project explores new expressions of landscape design in the city. Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects is part of the Source Books in Landscape Architecture series sponsored by Ohio State University. These books present sketches, drawings, models, renderings, working drawings, and photographs. Each book focuses on a recent, important work or works at a level of detail that allows thorough study of the project from its conception to the completion of design and construction.
