		<title>Shadow Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shadow Project Scott Mariani
A great thriller, featuring ex-special forces protecting a multi-billionaire businessman, with lots of intrigue and twists including the usual kidnaps, fights, ambushes as well as some re-discovered WWII Nazi special projects.
It was exciting and kept me gripped and wanting to find out more.  In places it felt a bit simplistic and thin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eight Lives Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eight Lives Down Major Chris Hunter
This is an astounding first hand account of Major Hunters time as a Bomb Disposal Technician.  The title refers to the fact the EOD technicians are nicked named Felix (the cat with nine lives) and the book is a trip with the Author learning where the first eight have gone.
He [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Naked Trader: How Anyone Can Make Money Trading Shares</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Naked Trader: How Anyone Can Make Money Trading Shares (2nd edition) Robbie Burns
I decided I wanted to know more about the stock market, with, perhaps one day, making a few trades myself&#8230; A friend recommended this book to me (and lent me a copy) and I&#8217;m so glad he did.
Robbie explains how it all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Portrait and Candid Photography: Photo Workshop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Portrait and Candid Photography: Photo Workshop Erin Manning
Disappointing from the start.   If you have never used an SLR before and have no idea that photography is about lighting (photos &#8211; light graph &#8211; draw/write) then this could be the book for you, it&#8217;s very repetitive and basic.
Chapters 5-9 finally talk about taking pictures of people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Team Building</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve said before I go to Enterprise Tuesdays at the University of Cambridge.  A recent seminar was all about building teams and it seemed to come at just the right time (it was a great seminar!).  I&#8217;m trying to build the development team where I work and with all the usual interviews and tests [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Writing Well</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Writing Well (30th Anniversary Ed.)  William Zinsseer
It&#8217;s a daunting task to write a review of a book about writing, and I&#8217;m not exactly sure where to begin.  I have to say first of all that it is obviously very well written, so just the process of reading the book gives you a good understanding [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Art of Looking Sideways</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Art of Looking Sideways Alan Fletcher
Wow. What a book!
I can&#8217;t say that I have &#8216;read&#8217; this and to be honest I don&#8217;t think I ever will.  I don&#8217;t even think it&#8217;s meant to be read, in fact in a way I&#8217;m tempted not to read it just so I can flick through to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Graphic Design: The New Basics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Graphic Design: The New Basics Ellen Lupton &#38; Jennifer Cole Phillips
As it says this is the New Basics.
Firstly, it really is the basics, but those basics are the starting points for all designers; point, line, colour etc.
The Basics &#8211; I have read about, practiced all these topics before (in various art and design courses) but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drinking Batch A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well Batch A of the dandelion wine did clear nicely and I bottled it up the other day.
Of course that meant giving it a try too, I hadn&#8217;t measured the specific gravity when I first made it so I have had to guess based on the ingredients at its inital gravity, but it appears if [...]]]></description>
