When Shirin bumps into Kian at a house party in Brixton, she is taken aback by the feelings that resurface. They last saw one another ten years ago as sixteen-year-olds at school in Hull. And the weight of everything left unsaid since then still hangs between them. But now they're back in each other's lives, it's harder to run from the past. There's nothing worse than losing the person you trust with your deepest secrets. Can it be different second time around? People Change is a moving and thought-provoking exploration of two people overcoming the past, re-finding each other and discovering their place in the world. __________________________________ Praise for People Change: 'People Change...
One of the challenges in Analytical chemistry is the analysis of complicated real samples. Analytical methods commonly suffer from interference and several limitations for the analysis of these samples. These limitations may be due to inherent problems of method or the nature of the sample matrix. Although electrochemical methods have several advantages, they are not exempt from this rule. Different parameters should be investigated to improve electrochemical methods for the analysis of real samples, selectivity being the most important. Inherent selectivity of dynamic electrochemical techniques is achieved when the analyte reacts in different values of applied parameters compared to potentially interfering species. In other words, the choice of applied parameter (e.g. potential in voltammetry) determines the selectivity of the measurement.
A poignant memoir of pre-1979 Iran and the human drama behind the fall of the last shah In October 1999 during a trip to Cairo, Cyrus Kadivar, an exiled Iranian living in London, visited the tomb of the last shah and opened a Pandora’s box. Haunted by nostalgia for a bygone era, he recalled a protected and idyllic childhood in the fabled city of Shiraz and his coming of age during the 1979 Iranian revolution. Back in London, he reflected on what had happened to him and his family after their uprooting and decided to conduct his own investigation into why he lost his country. He spent the next ten years seeking out witnesses who would shed light on the last days of Pahlavi rule. Among those...

Broadcaster & writer gives a vivid picture of life in Iran.
Her story began like a fairytale. At the age of 21, Farah Diba married the shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi. Her coronation as empress of Iran was covered by the world's press and overnight she became an international celebrity. Her early years were marked by a loving marriage and the raising of four children, but they were signs of a division approaching. Twenty years later demostrations and riots caused the shah and his family to flee the county. This is an intimate view of a time of upheaval, and is a poweful human document revealing a nation's epic struggle.

This epic biography, a gripping insider's account, is a long-overdue chronicle of the life and times of Mohammad Reza Shah, who ruled from 1941 to 1979 as the last Iranian monarch. Gholam Reza Afkhami uses his unparalleled access to a large number of individuals -- including high-ranking figures in the shah's regime, members of his family, and members of the opposition -- to depict the unfolding of the shah's life against the forces and events that shaped the development of modern Iran. The first major biography of the Shah in twenty-five years, this richly detailed account provides a radically new perspective on key events in Iranian history, including the 1979 revolution, U.S.-Iran relations, and Iran's nuclear program. It also sheds new light on what now drives political and cultural currents in a country at the heart of today's most perplexing geopolitical dilemmas.
