The Underachiever's Manifesto: The Guide to Accomplishing Little and Feeling Great
Lower the bar. Turn it down a notch. Get off the Stairmaster The Underachiever's Manifesto is the playfully persuasive pocket guide to living life to the least and loving it. With sharp humor and genuine wisdom, this welcome little book extols the fabulous benefits of underachievement in our overextended society. A witty introduction makes the case for the right amount of effort a lot less than we've been led to believe. Ten principles of underachievement establish the basics (#8: The tallest blade of grass is the surest to be cut); and practical applications show how mediocrity is the key to happiness at work, in relationships, dieting, exercise, investment, and more. Devilishly enlisting examples from philosophy, economics, science, and good common sense, The Underachiever's Manifesto is a lighthearted, life-changing rallying call for those who dare to do less and enjoy more..

AUSCHWITZ - SS DEATH CAMP: In a race against time Nazi Germany must, at any cost, be prevented from accomplishing its goal: European domination through the might of the atom bomb.
June 1942 . When Josef Mortkowicz, one of America's pre-eminent scientists, volunteers to infiltrate and sabotage the Reich's nuclear research programme events do not go according to plan. Arrested for a minor offence, identified as a Jew then deported to Auschwitz at a time the world knows nothing of the atrocities being perpetrated in the east (the Final Solution a still unknown concept), the Allies have but a few weeks at most to convince the Nazis they have unwittingly captured an absconded key physicist. Lieutenant Miller and his team are sent deep into enemy territory with the urgent brief to rescue and return. But to succeed he must fail. Mortkowicz has to be brought to the attention of the Nazis with cover intact and so Miller is hindered with orders to take rookie W/T operator Christa (Baby) Lynton. A combination of insubordination and sheer bad luck results in the team's imprisonment in Hitler's most infamous concentration camp where Christa is subjected to the horrors of torture, pain and and degradation by her assailant SS Untersturmfuhrer Kramer. Cruelly exploited by both Miller and Kramer we see how Christa's decisions and actions, as she fights for survival in an unimaginably inhumane world, influence the outcome of this most crucial of missions. Auschwitz-SS Death Camp skilfully blends fact with fiction taking the reader into the very heart of the camp's SS hierarchy: a nightmare realm with no rules..
