Nigel Planer's debut play, this is a comedy about the painting of the Sistine Chapel starring Ralf Little and Ron Cook, published alongside the West End opening. This time the Pope has surely backed a loser, the man he has put in charge of painting The Sistine Chapel is simply not up to the job - after all, he's a sculptor with next to no experience of painting. He didn't want the job in the first place and has never done anything remotely on this scale before. He's all over the place...when he remembers to turn up for work So, who has to cover for him? Who has to put in the hours, teach him his craft, patch up his mistakes, deal with his tantrums and get the job done? Who? Like any big project, it's the little guys, the professionals, the men who've been doing this kind of thing all their lives - they're the ones that are actually going to have to make it happen.

Jeremiah Bourne in Time

By: Nigel Planer

Jeremiah Bourne is in greater danger than he realises. As Jeremiah is swept from his crumbling home in Blackfriars in 2019, to the same house but in 1910, he suddenly faces two questions: how did he get here, and how can he get back to his own time? On his quest for answers, he encounters a cast of comic characters and situations: a coven of free-thinking spiritualists, a futuristic residents’ association, warring street gangs, eugenic scientists, aggressive domestic servants and a nudist magistrate. But his activities have alerted a community of time travellers from the future, who set out to capture and investigate him. Who can Jeremiah trust to help him? And could there be a link between his time-travelling gift and his mother’s sudden disappearance when he was only nine? Will he inadvertently lead the wrong people to her? This electrifying first instalment of Nigel Planer’s Time Shard Chronicles trilogy takes a new and original look at the possibility of time travel as it catapults you into a thrilling journey across London and through time.

Rivers

A natural and not-so-natural history

By: Paul Raven,Nigel Holmes

Throughout British history rivers have been of profound economic, social and cultural importance – yet as we see with increasing frequency they have the potential to wreak great destruction. This book describes the natural and not-so-natural changes that have affected British rivers since the last ice age and looks at the many plants and animals that live along, above and within them. Detailed case studies of the Meon, Dee and Endrick illustrate the incredibly varied nature of our river ecosystems, and the natural and human factors that make each one different. Written by two widely respected river ecologists, the book looks not only at rivers as they were and are but also at how they can be managed and cared for. Full of interesting facts and stunning images, Rivers is essential reading for anyone professionally involved in rivers and for the naturalist, conservationist and layman alike. It is the one book you need to understand this singularly important and often contentious feature of the British landscape.

Prestressed Concrete Bridges

Design and Construction

By: Nigel R. Hewson

Prestressed concrete decks are commonly used for bridges with spans between 25m and 450m and provide economic, durable and aesthetic solutions in most situations where bridges are needed. Concrete remains the most common material for bridge construction around the world, and prestressed concrete is frequently the material of choice. Extensively illustrated throughout, this invaluable book brings together all aspects of designing prestressed concrete bridge decks into one comprehensive volume. The book clearly explains the principles behind both the design and construction of prestressed concrete bridges, illustrating the interaction between the two. It covers all the different types of deck arrangement and the construction techniques used, ranging from in-situ slabs and precast beams; segmental construction and launched bridges; and cable-stayed structures. Included throughout the book are many examples of the different types of prestressed concrete decks used, with the design aspects of each discussed along with the general analysis and design process. Detailed descriptions of the prestressing components and systems used are also included. Prestressed Concrete Bridges is an essential reference book for both the experienced engineer and graduate who want to learn more about the subject.

A Good Enough Dad

The True Confusions of an Infant Father

By: Nigel Planer

Television comic actor Nigel Planer describes in hilarious detail what happened, after the arrival of his baby son, to Mr Big in his bachelor flat, who could stay out late, sleep in till noon, leave the dishes dirty and records all over the living-room floor. He also explains that nowadays fatherhood doesn't just mean a change of lifestyle - it requires an attitude. It's no longer enough to wallpaper the nursery, pay the bills and wait in the hospital corridor.
