- Cabin pressure : A-Z / by Finnemore, John,author,voice actor.narrator.; Cumberbatch, Benedict,1976-voice actor.narrator.; Cole, Stephanie,1941-voice actor.narrator.; Allam, Roger,voice actor.narrator.; BBC Radio 4.; BBC Worldwide Ltd.; Blackstone Audio, Inc.,publisher.; British Broadcasting Corporation.;
Performed by Benedict Cumberbatch, Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, and John Finnemore.Every episode of the hit BBC Radio 4 airline sitcom is collected together in this special box set, including the Christmas special, final episode, and several bonus features. Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and a prayer world of a tiny, one-plane charter airline, staffed by two pilots--one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. Whether flying a cat to Abu Dhabi, dealing with a nervous bassoonist, hunting for a cleverly hidden lemon, or attempting to celebrate Christmas in seven minutes, no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult. Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has employed two of the very cheapest pilots money can buy: Captain Martin Crieff, who's always wanted to fly and won't let a little thing like lack of ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas Richardson, smooth-voiced old sky-god and eternal schemer. Passenger service is provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur.- Subjects: Comedy radio programs.; Radio comedies.; Radio programs.; Audiobooks.; Aeronautics, Commercial; Flight crews; Airlines; Radio programs;

- Union station / by Downing, David,1946-author.(CARDINAL)352762;
"Los Angeles, 1953. It has been five years since British journalist John Russell struck a deal with a high-ranking Soviet official, relieving Russell of his duty as double-agent for Soviet and American intelligence. Now Russell lives a life of relative comfort in Los Angeles alongside his wife, Effi, a star on an American sitcom, and their adopted daughter, Rosa, a young artist on the cusp of adulthood. He has just begun work on a book investigating American firms that did business with Germany during Nazi occupation when he notices someone is tailing him--and his wife--all around Los Angeles. Has someone not taken kindly to his research? Is it a McCarthyist freelancer, trying to dig up dirt on Effi and her family? Or, could it be that in the leadership struggle following Stalin's death, the deal Russell struck all those years ago has put him at risk yet again? When Effi is invited to the Third Annual Berlin Film Festival as a guest of honor, the two make the decision to attend-thrusting them into the political disorder of a city that was once their home and which they now struggle to recognize. It is here that Russell will come face to face with the forces that have followed him, from Hollywood to Berlin and back again."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Historical fiction.; Spy fiction.; Novels.; Russell, John (Fictitious character); Stalking victims; Journalists; Cold War; Actors;

In the 1960s, the West's relationship with authority ruptured, in part due to the rock revolution. Though the effects are still with us today, the lessons and implications of this era have yet to be fully grasped. This book tells the story of the key artists, music, and events of the classic rock era-defined here as 1964 to 1980-through a virtual psychoanalysis of the West. Over these years, important truths unfold in the stories of British Invaders, hippies, proto-punks, and more, as well as topics to include drugs, primal scream therapy, the occult, spirituality, and disco and its detractors, to name just a few. With a narrative that is equal parts entertaining, scholarly, and even spiritual, readers will gain a greater appreciation for rock music, better understand the confusing world we live in today, and see how greater individuality and social stability may be better reconciled moving forward." -- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Rock music; Rock music; Counterculture; Popular culture;
