From wartime England to Nixon’s America and beyond, Cynthia Helms was witness to some of the seminal events of our time—Vietnam, Watergate, and especially the demoralization of the CIA in the 1970s for political purposes. Opening with her feminist “epiphany” in 1968 (the annus horribilus as she describes it) that led her to end her first marriage of 24 years, this memoir reveals a world where appearances always had to be questioned, where rumors and gossip carried the weight of intrigue.Helms grew up on a farm in Maldon, England and served as one of the original Boat Crew Wrens during World War II. She came to the United States after the war with her first husband, a physician. Her later marriage to Richard Helms introduced her to a world previously known only to her in books, not just the physical world from Mexico to Fiji to Iran, but also the world of a spymaster who enjoyed the confidence of some of the most important leaders of the late twentieth century. Her time as the ambassador’s wife in Tehran on the eve of the Iranian Revolution is especially telling, as she witnesses the charming but deeply flawed Shah slowly lose his way with his own people. Her “inside the beltway” observations are no less captivating, especially when her husband was being vilified by ambitious congressmen for events that happened long ago and far away and in a completely different national security context. Fascinating and highly readable, An Intriguing Life is a window to our most recent history.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, a sweeping, romantic compulsively readable historical saga about a Dukes daughter-the perfect Victorian lady-who secretly moonlights as an amateur sleuth for high societys inner circle.Victorian London was notorious for its pickpockets. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con men preyed on the rich and titled. Wealthy victims-with their pride and reputation at stake-would never go to the police. What they needed was a society insider, one of their own, a person of discretion and finely tuned powers of observation, adept at navigating intrigue.That person was Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott, the youngest child of Queen Victorias close friends the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. Bookish, fiercely intelligent, and a keen observer, Mary has deliberately cultivated a mousey persona that allows her to remain overlooked and significantly underestimated by all. Its the perfect cover for a sleuth, a role she stumbles into when trying to assist a close friend during a house party hosted by her parents at their stately Scottish home, Drumlanrig Castle.It is at this party where Lady Mary also meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, a distinguished and extremely handsome war veteran. Tortured by memories of combat, Walter, like Mary, lives a double life, with a desk job in Whitehall providing a front for his role in the British Intelligence Service. The two form an unlikely alliance to solve a series of audacious crimes-and indulge in a highly charged on-off romance.Pacy, romantic, and fun, A Most Intriguing Lady documents one remarkable womans ability to be both the perfect lady, and a perfectly talented detective.and, of course, to find love too.

Cognitive Illusions explores a wide range of fascinating psychological effects in the way we think, judge and remember in our everyday lives. Featuring contributions from leading researchers, the book defines what cognitive illusions are and discusses their theoretical status: are such illusions proof for a faulty human information-processing system, or do they only represent by-products of otherwise adaptive cognitive mechanisms? Throughout the book, background to phenomena such as illusions of control, overconfidence and hindsight bias are discussed, before considering the respective empirical research, potential explanations of the phenomenon, and relevant applied perspectives. Each chapter also features the detailed description of an experiment that can be used as classroom demonstration. Featuring six new chapters, this edition has been thoroughly updated throughout to reflect recent research and changes of focus within the field. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of cognitive illusions, specifically, those focusing on thinking, reasoning, decision-making and memory.  

A thrilling historical adventure story! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Jane Aiken Hodge and Jane Austen. An impetuous heroine uncovers a shocking scandal... 1760, England Amanda Twyford, confronted unexpectedly with the unwelcome news of her elder sister Isabella’s engagement to notorious rake Charles Barsett, is determined to put a stop to the impending nuptials. Amanda immediately takes a dislike to cold, haughty Charles, and she is sure Isabella’s heart lies with another... As she meddles more in their affairs, Amanda discovers that dark rumours surround Charles’ reputation. And they all seem to be connected to the secretive Medmenham Abbey. But as Amanda becomes more involved in protecting her sister’s heart, does she risk losing control over her own...? What is the truth behind the rumours concerning the mysterious Abbey? And what connection has the notorious rake, Charles Barsett, with that centre of ill-repute? Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction... THE GEORGIAN RAKE is a thrilling adventure story by Alice Chetwynd Ley: a traditional British, pre Regency romance novel with a twist of suspense and mystery, set in Georgian England. ‘Ley tosses in little hints and glimpses of what is really going on in her characters’ heads rather than let every thing wait until the end when it blows in out of the blue. This one is a Georgian era which is one of my favorites.’ – Dear Author It is a fast-paced story, well plotted and really well written that made me "turn" the pages impatiently because I just had to know what would happen! I really loved this book and can definitely recommend it! - Cup of Tea and Book Blog
