The British government's efforts to block publication of Peter Wright's Spycatcher: Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Agent climaxed in a sensational trial in Australia in 1986 that cast a shadow of disrepute on the British legal system, the Official Secrets Act and the government itself. The author of this engrossing, suspenseful account is the Australian attorney who represented Wright and his would-be Australian publisher. Excerpts from the trial testimony reveal that Turnbull uncovered mendacity, hypocrisy and cynicism at the highest levels of the British government, principally during his cross-examination of Sir Robert Armstrong, cabinet secretary and adviser on intelligence matters. In 1987 the High Court at Canberra dismissed the case and ordered the Thatcher government to reimburse legal costs to Wright and Heinemann Publishers Australia. Turnbull calls the Britishers' conduct in the affair "quite disgraceful" and adds that the experience "galvanized my determination to see Australia rid herself of its sic remaining constitutional links with England."

The book deals with objects and object-orientated development with Visual Basic 5. It explains why object-oriented programming is so important today, and how its use can simplify the development process as a whole. To do this it drills down on Classes, ActiveX Controls, Components, Documents, OO style and what these things let you do. It leads the reader into the realm of actual development, by using a lot of real world examples, demonstrating the sort of problems that programmers come up against everyday.

E se esistesse qualcuno capace di catturare la nostra anima, svelandone ogni segreto, ogni ferita? Quando capisce di possedere questo formidabile dono, lui è ancora un bambino, timido e isolato dagli altri. Sono le ombre la sua sola compagnia: la parte nascosta e più fragile di ciascuno di noi, ma anche la più trasparente, la più pura. Le ombre lo seguono, lo circondano, sempre pronte a sussurrargli all’orecchio frammenti di ricordi e di verità perdute. E, attraverso di loro, lui impara a riconoscere la sua vocazione: aiutare le persone in carne e ossa, curandole dai loro malanni e insieme restituendo loro desideri e risposte che credevano smarriti per sempre. Fino a quando, ormai medico affermato, dopo anni trascorsi a cercare di guarire le vite altrui, non decide di prendere in mano la propria. Mettendosi sulle tracce dell’unica donna che per lui abbia contato davvero. Con Ascolta la mia ombra Marc Levy torna alle atmosfere magiche di Se solo fosse vero per celebrare la forza del primo amore. E regalarci il suo romanzo più emozionante, palpitante di umanità e soffuso di una luminosa, irresistibile tenerezza.

Peter Wright, jeden z hlavních protagonistů britského televizního seriálu Veterinář z Yorkshiru, vypráví příběhy z vlastní veterinární praxe a s laskavým nadhledem i suchým humorem líčí život vesnického zvěrolékaře. Sympatická kniha navazuje na tradici Jamese Herriota – a to doslova, protože autor s tímto „nejslavnějším veterinářem všech dob“ pracoval v jeho ordinaci v Thirsku, malebném městečku v srdci severního Yorkshiru.
