The marine zooplankton is one of the most fascinating and diverse assemblages of animals known to biologists.

Nut Screws Washer

By: Geoff Boxer

East London in the late 1950's, and George Bonner, begins work at 100 year old Empire Builder's Merchants discovering a world of corruption: ---"Alf spun around and slashed his attacker's face. 'Run George, fucking run'. The man screamed, holding his cheek."---"The sweat started to form on George's brow. The detective fixed him a big smiling gaze and waited. George, about ready to crack, wondered what to do. The bruise on his chest began to hurt. Ah well, he thought, let's get it over with. I might as well admit it."----"Through a hazy fog, Delia looked up as a woman approached the bed. 'Hello Delia, ' the woman murmured. 'Maria's told me so much about you, you're gorgeous.' Unable to resist, Delia lay back sighing as the women removed their clothes and squeezed in next to her.

The British Bloke, Decoded

From Banter to Man-Flu. Everything finally explained.

By: Geoff Norcott

I laughed a lot and now understand blokes a lot more than I ever wanted to' - Katherine Ryan 'Geoff is one of the funniest intelligent thinkers in comedy and this book reflects that perfectly' - Romesh Ranganathan 'Funny and insightful, it makes serious points without committing the cardinal sin of taking itself too seriously. ' - Adrian Chiles 'Highly informative. Geoff will make a proper bloke out of me yet.' - Hugo Rifkind 'A brilliant and hilarious book which defends blokes without denigrating women' - Konstantin Kisin If you see a man drinking a pint in an airport pub alone, that's a bloke. If you see a man driving to the tip on a Saturday morning with a smile on his face, that's a bloke. And if you see a man heading back from the tip and on the way to the pub, that's a very happy bloke. The British Bloke appears simple and straightforward. He loves football, cricket, beer and sheds. But beneath that simple exterior lies a mysterious and complex being... In The British Bloke Decoded, writer, comedian and regular bloke, Geoff Norcott, peels back the layers of blokedom, revealing the truth behind the behaviour of Britain's husbands, dads, brothers and friends. He dives into the value of banter, the roots of mansplaining, the near impossibility of getting blokes to send birthday cards, and whether there could be a medal system for vacuuming. Based on 46 years of intensive field research and semi-scientific insights, this book is a celebration of. the simple British bloke in all his splendour.

Geoff Murphy

A Life on Film - I'm taking this bloody car to Invercargill

By: Geoff Murphy

The majorly entertaining memoir from a major entertainer - Geoff 'Goodbye Pork Pie' Murphy tells it like it really was in this director's cut of his life and times. "I'm taking this bloody car to Invercargill!" It was the line that had cinema audiences cheering. Goodbye Pork Pie became an instant classic, and announced the arrival of a major new talent in director Geoff Murphy. With his next two films, Utu and The Quiet Earth, he cemented his reputation as a pioneer of New Zealand cinema, eventually arriving in Hollywood as a gun-for-hire in the super-charged world of studio politics and superstar egos. He'd come a long way from his days as a struggling school teacher, and then a member of a madcap band of merry pranksters known as Blerta, founded by his great friend and collaborator Bruno Lawrence. But it was the same sense of adventure -with a healthy dose of Kiwi ingenuity - that defined every stage of his career. In this candid and funny memoir, Geoff Murphy looks back on a life in (and on) film - from do-it-yourself shoots in the 1960s to epic work on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy - and delivers the director's cut of a truly remarkable life.

Anglo-English Attitudes

By: Geoff Dyer

Geoff Dyer's books have been widely praised for their originality, variety and range - qualities displayed even more boldly in his journalism. Avoiding any specialism, writing on whatever interested him at a given time, he has achieved enviable freedom as an essayist, journalist and critic.ANGLO-ENGLISH ATTITUDES brings together his best freelance work of the last fifteen years. There are sustained meditations on photographers (from canonical figures like Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa to the barely known master William Gedney), on painters (Bonnard, Gauguin), musicians (Coltrane, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan) and close critical engagements with writers (Camus, Graham Greene, Cormac McCarthy, Michael Ondaatje and Martin Amis). Also here are idiosyncratic reflections on boxing, on collecting, on Airfix models and Action Man, and often hilarious accounts of his 'misadventures': flying in a Mig-29 in Moscow, on the razz with Def Leppard in Seoul, on safari in Africa, and in trouble learning to freefall parachute. And much, much more...

Before It's Too Late: A Very Ordinary Citizen's Manifesto

By: Geoff Feasey

In 1998, in the last chapter of his book Very Ordinary Officer: The story of a Yorkshire-born Australian, Geoff Feasey outlined some of the world's problems and confessed to an urge to comment on them. But he 'resisted the temptation to jump in'. Now 85, he cannot resist any longer. He had the immense good fortune to marry his best friend Betty in 2000 and they returned to live in England. After 23 years in Australia, the Britain of 2002 was disturbing. Now, after 13 more years of observation, conversations, reading and thinking, he suggests a shock treatment for the people of Britain. His aims are to inspire them to look beyond the residue of the feudal system, and to encourage their government to lead them bravely through a world of problems, limited resources and changing climate. Before it is too late!

The Good, the Bad and the Wurst

The 100 Craziest Moments from the Eurovision Song Contest

By: Geoff Tibballs

Sixty extraordinary years of Eurovision, from Céline Dion to Dustin the Turkey, from Abba to Conchita Wurst - the drag acts, the bad acts and all the nul points heroes. For 60 years the Eurovision Song Contest has existed in a parallel universe where a song about the construction of a hydro-electric power station is considered cutting-edge pop, where half a dozen warbling Russian grandmothers are considered Saturday night entertainment, where a tune repeating the word 'la' 138 times is considered a winner, and where Australia is considered part of Europe During those sixty years we have witnessed scandals: in 1957, Denmark's Birthe Wilke and Gustav Winckler enjoyed an outrageously long 13-second kiss because the stage manager forgot to say 'cut' during the live broadcast. We have witnessed national outrage: the 1976 Greek entry was a savage indictment of Turkish foreign policy in Cyprus. But most have all we have witnessed silly costumes, terrible lyrics and performers as diverse as Celine Dion and Dustin the Turkey. This book chronicles the 100 craziest moments in the history of Eurovision - the drag acts, the bad acts, the nul points heroes and the night in Luxembourg when the floor manager warned the audience not to stand up while they applauded because they might be shot by security forces. It captures some of the magic from this yearly event that continues to beguile and bemuse in equal measure.

It's Alright Leaving Me...!

Travels of a BBC Editor

By: Geoff Hale

It's alright leaving me ...' was a claim often heard down a crackly control line from a television technician like Geoff Hale in a far-flung foreign TV station, when a request had come from BBC London to explain some inferior pictures arriving back at the Television Centre in White City. Between 1963 and 1998 Geoff worked as a Chief Picture Editor for BBC TV News, travelling all over the world and witnessing at first hand some of the major news stories of the time. Many books have been written of this period giving the TV Reporter's account of these happenings, but in this fascinating book Geoff gives a technician's eye view of some of the famous events which marked the end of the 20th century.

From Riches to Rags

From Riches to Rags

By: Barton Hill History Group,Geoff Hill

Geoff Hill's autobiography describes his rise from the back streets of Brierley Hill during the 1930s to the running of a successful Black Country business, and then back to rags again - or the rag trade - when he founded a chain of charity shops. In between were his stints as a gnome vendor, champion cyclist, pub landlord and encyclopaedia salesman. Geoff Hill was born in 1927 in Brierley Hill. He easily obtained a scholarship to King Edward VI School in Stourbridge, but had to leave at the age of fifteen in order to contribute to the family income. Geoff's passion for cycling led him to take a job in a bicycle shop, and to semi-professional cycling: at the age of seventeen he became the British Under Eighteen Champion. This obsession with bike racing continued until Geoff was called up for National Service as a 'Bevin Boy'. Hard physical labour down the pit brought with it back problems, bringing an end to his cycling career. Restless, and always searching for a new challenge, Geoff spent the late '40s and '50s in a bewildering variety of jobs - from selling the "Encyclopedia Britannica," Bettaware and typewriters to supervising industrial canteens, running a pub and a grocery shop, and even selling garden gnomes. Finally he settled down with the opening of Geoff Hill Electrical - now the Black Country's most successful independent electrical retailer. Geoff has always supported local charities, primarily Mary Stephens' Hospice. Under his guidance the Hospice Trading Company was set up; it now runs a chain of charity shops which have raised over GBP1 million. He has recently set up the Geoff Hill Charitable Trust, devoted to charitable work in the Black Country - and despite being semi-retired these days Geoff is busier than he's ever been.

The Wicked Wit of England

The Wicked Wit of England

By: Geoff Tibballs

The Wicked Wit of England is a celebration of British humour, featuring a collection of stories, anecdotes, quips and quotes that capture the various idiosyncrasies of the English character. If there is one thing that first-time visitors to England find mystifying - along with our obsession with discussing the weather, our pride in making the perfect cup of tea, and our impossible-to-decipher slang - it is our unique sense of humour. Have you just been insulted? Or was the slight merely a demonstration of affection? Was that a genuine compliment? Or is the ever-present sarcasm in English conversation at work again? The dark, dry and often ironic humour of the English can be difficult to get your head around, but there's no doubting its essentiality at the heart of English culture. As well as celebrating this classic humour, The Wicked Wit of England encompasses the various idiosyncrasies of the English character - the social awkwardness, the constant need to apologize, the stiff upper lip, and the love of queuing, to name but a few. Containing a varied collection of stories, anecdotes, quips and quotes featuring English people from all walks of life, from Quentin Crisp to Frank Skinner and Stephen Hawking to Thora Hird, this book might not help outsiders fully understand the English, but it might help them tolerate us a little more.

Funny when it goes in for burlesque but screamingly so when it simply delivers the evidence' Independent Like the critically acclaimed Bremner, Bird and Fortune series on Channel 4, YOU ARE HERE picks away at the scabs of international politics with the voice and credibility of Rory and the two Johns, and appeals to an audience hungry for a mix of entertainment and information - tough facts made funny. The book lampoons the contradiction at the heart of Britain since Tony Blair became Prime Minister after the landslide General Election result of 1997. In the fog of confusion created by New Labour, it can be difficult to discover the real truth. After all, why spin if you don't want people to get dizzy? What the British reader needs is this witty and original map explaining how it all connects, a guide to how we got here - completely updated now for paperback edition.
