"Ghost in the Light"
"A unheralded little gem...terrific writing."--Douglas Gordy, "Slant Magazine"
Based on the life of Han Van Meegeren, "Ghost in the Light" portrays one of the greatest art forgers in history. In the 1930s, Han's painting, "Jesus at Emmaus," was declared "not just a Vermeer, but Vermeer's finest work," and sold for half a million dollars. The world's leading art critics were caught up in the scandal when a number of his "Vermeers" were recovered in postwar Nazi loot.
"The Stone Trilogy"
"A riveting, emotional journey...stunning."--Wanda Sabir, "The San Francisco Bay View"
Kaleidoscopic and darkly funny, "The Stone Trilogy" presents three interrelated one-acts that portray the face of love, forgiveness, and oppression in three countries: Ireland during The Troubles, South Africa at the end of Apartheid, and the United States. Together, the plays present an emotional journey through the difficult nature of forgiveness.

Notă biografică
Ian Walker splits his time across two related worlds. By day, he is an environmental psychologist at the University of Bath, specialising in transport choices, traffic safety, energy consumption and water use. As you will see from his textbooks, he also teaches research methods and statistics at a whole range of levels from entry-level introductions up to doctoral level. Ian's professional interest in clean transport and traffic safety also extends into his personal life, where he takes part in ultradistance bicycle racing - an activity explored in his new book Endless Perfect Circles. This introduces readers to the extraordinary world of nonstop bicycle races that last for weeks at a time. It goes on to describe how Ian won a tough 4300-kilometre cycle race before breaking the Guinness World Record for the fastest ever bicycle crossing of Europe.
