Voodoo Historiesby David Aaronovitch Read by Diana Toeman (1 Cd) This intelligent and hugely enjoyable book is nevertheless a serious enquiry into why conspiracy theories appeal. Our age is obsessed with the idea of conspiracy. We see cover-ups everywhere from Pearl Harbour to 9/11, from the assassination of John Kennedy to the death of Marilyn Monroe. This book entertainingly demolishes the absurd, elaborate and downright sinister conspiracy theories of the last 100 years. David Aaronovitch reveals not only why people are so ready to believe in these stories, but the danger of this credulity.
This is an account of life in Berlin before the fall of the Wall in November 1989. The ordinary residents in Berlin find ways to live on both sides. The unnamed narrator 'escapes' back and forth to collect stories. The various characters in the book are all different in their ways and are 'Wall Jumpers' trying to lose themselves but still trapped wherever they go. Ultimately the 'Walls' inside their heads prove to be more powerful than any man-made barrier. No. 1433 We Have Reason To Believeby Rabbi Louis Jacobs Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) This book examines the basic beliefs of Judaism in the light of modern thoughts.

He is often sarcastic, ironic and even disgusted by what he sees. His words make us see with supreme clarity the world of Berlin in the 1920's and 30's. His eye seems to miss nothing and he extensive reading and knowledge of literature together with his deep thinking, help us to analyse commercialism in the arts, as well as other things.
Michele Hanson grew up an only-child in a well to-do neighbourhood in Ruislip, north west London. Michele's mother was very suspicious of her non-Jewish neighbour's personal and domestic habits; whist Michele was very wary of children's games like 'Doctors and Nurses'. The teenager began to wonder if the differences between Jews and Christians was quite as extreme as he mother suggested. Her mother was a shouter and her father a sulker. Her parents seemed more and more dissatisfied with each other especially when a neighbour, Mrs Walmesly, announced that she was having an affair with her father. Annual holidays in the south of France relieve the tension. Glamorous Auntie Celia, living in Park Lane, needs to be kept an eye on in case she gambles away the family inheritance. In the 60's Michele dons black clothes and attends art college. This humorous easy-to-read sage recognises the tensions and underlying anxieties of the 50's. Yiddish phrases and curses pepper the text. No. 1674
Read by Anthony Tibber (1 Cd) 'What Went Wrong'? Is a concise study of the Muslim world's responses to the West and of its own long, sad decline. This book is also a book of strength, and its claim upon our attention for it offers a long view in the midst of so much short termism and confusing punditry on television, in books, on campuses and in studies. Lewis has done us all, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, a remarkable service.
