Book Description
For years there has been consensus about the merits of Britain’s ‘cult films’ — Peeping Tom, Witchfinder General, The Italian Job — but what of The Mark, Unearthly Stranger, The Strange Affair and The Squeeze? Revisionist critics wax lyrical over Get Carter and The Wicker Man, but what of Sitting Target, Quest for Love and The Black Panther? OFFBEAT redresses this imbalance by exploring Britain’s obscurities, curiosities and forgotten gems — from the buoyant leap in film production in the late fifties to the dying days of popular domestic cinema in the early eighties. Featuring essays, interviews and in-depth reviews, OFFBEAT provides an exhaustive, enlightening and entertaining guide through a host of neglected cinematic trends and episodes, including: • The last great British B-movies • ‘Anti-swinging sixties’ films • Sexploitation — from Yellow Teddy Bears to Emmanuelle in Soho • The British rock ‘n roll movie • CIA-funded British cartoons • Asylums in British cinema • The Children’s Film Foundation • The demise of the short as supporting feature • Val Guest, Sidney Hayers and the forgotten journeyman of British film • Swashbucklers, crime thrillers and other non-horror Hammers Now updated with more than 150 pages of new reviews and essays, featuring: • The Beatles in Colour! • The History of the AA Certificate • Ken Russell’s 1980s Films • Iris Murdoch’s A Severed Head • Curating Offbeat films in the Digital Age And much more!

Beanotown has become boring. All Dennis pranks are backfiring and he seems to have lost his awesomeness. Even his faithful hound, Gnasher, seems fed up with him these days.

With the help of his cousin, Minnie and Gnasher, Dennis must go on a quest, discovering the mysterious Chamber of Mischief in his bid to find the Golden Pea Shooter, but a series of tricky challenges (and Dennis nemesis, Walter) stand in his way.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Book Description
Beanotown is in trouble again and this time the threat is Jurassic! The Mayor is determined to capture some of the pre-historic inhabitants of Duck Island for display in the zoo and will stop at nothing to get his way. Together, Dennis and Gnasher set out to thwart the Mayor's horrible plan and save the day. Minnie, on hearing the news that an island of dinosaurs is situated so close to home, sees an opportunity that can not be missed. She wants a pet and what could be more awesome than a raptor? Upon arrival it soon becomes clear that no-one's plans are going the way they expect. Enraged, the Mayor decides to wreck the alien do-hicky thingy-ma-bob that stops the island expanding. Now the whole town is in trouble. Strange meat-eating plants flop through the streets, there's dinosaurs in the supermarket, swimming pool and cinema, and raptors are riding the subway. The only way to get things back to 'normal' is to put the do-hicky thingy-ma-bob back together. But for that, they'll need Gran's help. Dennis's latest adventure is filled with epic fun, from raptors to an enormous Gnashersaurus-Rex, Vikings to Victorians, and a series of interactive puzzles for YOU, the reader, to complete. Can YOU help Dennis navigate the island and save Beanotown from the pre-historic invasion?
