Lateral - Based on the Hit Podcast

Wonderful Answers to Weird Questions

By: Tom Scott,David Bodycombe

The first book based on Tom Scott's hit podcast, LATERAL! Unlock a world of mind-bending brainteasers. This massive collection of lateral thinking puzzles features 100 questions with unexpected, fascinating answers. Figuring them out will require you to challenge your assumptions and find new perspectives—but whether you find the solutions or not (even Tom has been stumped!), the answer notes will let you share the “aha!” while learning more about the puzzle’s subject. Use hints to solve solo or play as a party game; each question is sure to spur hilarious brainstorming and enthusiastic discussion. What You’ll Find Inside: 120 Puzzles: Including 40 of the most captivating questions from the LATERAL podcast, 60 brand-new puzzles, and 20 warm-up brainteasers to get you in the zone. Real-World Scenarios: Unlike typical lateral thinking puzzles based on farfetched set-ups and absurd situations, LATERAL features questions based on actual events. For instance, can you figure out why, in 1998, some moviegoers left theaters showing Meet Joe Black before the movie even started? The answer: They only came to see the trailer for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace! Reportedly, some cinemas promised to play the trailer a second time at the end of the movie to encourage Star Wars fans to stick around. Hints and Surprising Solutions: Each puzzle comes with helpful hints and detailed explanations. Even if you're stumped, you’ll be entertained by the solutions, which are accompanied by bonus commentary and trivia. Play Solo or with Friends: Use these puzzles for solo solving sessions or turn them into fun group games for parties, family nights, or road trips. Each puzzle is designed to ignite conversations and inspire laughter. Whether you’re a fan of logic puzzles, brain buster games, or you’re simply looking for a unique adult puzzle book, LATERAL will challenge your assumptions, stretch your mind, and keep you entertained for hours. Plus, with supplementary details on every puzzle, this book doubles as an intriguing dive into the curious side of the world we live in.

Crime and Corruption at the Yard

Downfall of Scotland Yard

Crime and Corruption at the Yard

Downfall of Scotland Yard

By: David I. Woodland

A Scotland Yard insider blows the whistle on police corruption in “a book . . . that everyone concerned with law and order should read” (Crime Review). During David Woodland’s nineteen years of service with the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police, the ‘thin blue line’ came under intense pressure. In addition to the routine caseload of gang crime, murder, and armed robbery, Irish terrorist groups launched a vicious and prolonged campaign of violence. Also, then-Police Commissioner Sir Robert Marks described the Criminal Intelligence Department as ‘the most routinely corrupt organization in London’, it may have been an exaggeration made out of anger—but it devastated the public’s faith in the CID. New Scotland Yard Det. Inspector David Woodland was witness to a series of major scandals and now reveals why many otherwise honest detectives strove to bend the law to their own devices. Using his own cases and experience, he demonstrates the difficulties working in a depleted, demoralized police force—not to mention fighting to overcome ‘the enemy within’. Crime and Corruption at The Yard is a gripping, shocking, and instructive insider’s account of the darker side of police work.

Yorkshire

York and the East Riding

By: Nikolaus Pevsner,David Neave

This volume sheds light on the pride of the region - the great medieval churches of York Minster, the Minster and St Mary at Beverley, and Holy Trinity, Hull but also on less well known architectural pleasures of town and county. Outstanding Victorian village churches, including masterpieces by Street & Pearson, are as rewarding as the major country houses of Burton Agnes, Burton Constable and Sledmere. The countryside offes a wide range of monuments, from the beautifully sited ruins of Kirkham Priory to the spectacular Humber Bridge. Farmhouses and cottages of the Wolds, picturesque estate villages and chapels, and industrial structures are all brought into focus. A large section is devoted to York and includes a survey of the historic buildings of the city centre from the Roman period onwards. This is complemented by a detailed exploration of York's eighteenth and nineteenth-century suburbs. Equal care has been applied to the descriptions of Beverley, with its attractive townscape, and the port of Hull, where unexpected highlights include seventeenth-century merchant houses, Georgian almshouses, ornate Victorian pubs, and grand Edwardian public buildings.

Managing the Drug Discovery Process

Insights and advice for students, educators, and practitioners

By: Susan Miller,Walter Moos,Barbara Munk,Stephen Munk,Charles Hart,David Spellmeyer

Managing the Drug Discovery Process, Second Edition thoroughly examines the current state of pharmaceutical research and development by providing experienced perspectives on biomedical research, drug hunting and innovation, including the requisite educational paths that enable students to chart a career path in this field. The book also considers the interplay of stakeholders, consumers, and drug firms with respect to a myriad of factors. Since drug research can be a high-risk, high-payoff industry, it is important to students and researchers to understand how to effectively and strategically manage both their careers and the drug discovery process. This new edition takes a closer look at the challenges and opportunities for new medicines and examines not only the current research milieu that will deliver novel therapies, but also how the latest discoveries can be deployed to ensure a robust healthcare and pharmacoeconomic future. All chapters have been revised and expanded with new discussions on remarkable advances including CRISPR and the latest gene therapies, RNA-based technologies being deployed as vaccines as well as therapeutics, checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T approaches that cure cancer, diagnostics and medical devices, entrepreneurship, and AI. Written in an engaging manner and including memorable insights, this book is aimed at anyone interested in helping to save countless more lives through science. A valuable and compelling resource, this is a must-read for all students, educators, practitioners, and researchers at large—indeed, anyone who touches this critical sphere of global impact—in and around academia and the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry. - Considers drug discovery in multiple R&D venues - big pharma, large biotech, start-up ventures, academia, and nonprofit research institutes - with a clear description of the degrees and training that will prepare students well for a career in this arena - Analyzes the organization of pharmaceutical R&D, taking into account human resources considerations like recruitment and configuration, management of discovery and development processes, and the coordination of internal research within, and beyond, the organization, including outsourced work - Presents a consistent, well-connected, and logical dialogue that readers will find both comprehensive and approachable - Addresses new areas such as CRISPR gene editing technologies and RNA-based drugs and vaccines, personalized medicine and ethical and moral issues, AI/machine learning and other in silico approaches, as well as completely updating all chapters

Each of the 100 questions enclosed within these pages isn’t what it seems at first, and has been designed to make you think outside the box in order to answer it.
