For fans of THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY, THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU, Mark Watson and Mark Haddon, here is a cleverly written mystery about fate, circumstance, destiny and coincidence from COSTA AWARD-shortlisted author, John Ironmonger. This quirky read is hard to put down and spans philosophy, conflict, relationships and romance. Thomas Post is an expert on coincidences. He's an authority. People come to see him, to ask him if he can explain strange events that have befallen them, and he can always explain these things away. We poor humans, he would say, have a tendency to make patterns out of random shapes, or to construct meaning from the random behaviour of the universe. But one day Thomas gets a visit from Azalea Lewis, and his world will never be the same again. For Azalea's coincidences seem to go off the scale. The lives of Thomas and Azalea become entwined, their destinies entangled. And now, with Azalea apparently dead in a foreign land, Thomas must reassemble the pieces of her life in search for the patterns that drove it. And that means he must try to unravel the coincidences that so afflicted her.

“A tremendous novel—droll, savvy, original. An invigorating blast of fiction.” —William Boyd, Author of Any Human Heart and Restless.” A hurricane sweeps off the Gulf of Mexico and, in the back country of Alabama, assembles a passenger jet out of old bean cans and junkyard waste. This piques the interest of the enigmatic Directorate of the Extremely Improbable. Their fascination with this random event sets into motion a madcap caper that will bring together a hilarious cast of characters, including: an eccentric mathematician, last heard of investigating the physics of free will; a lovelorn Cambridge postgraduate who has set off to America with a ring in his pocket and hope in his heart; and a member of the Directorate with no capacity for imagination. What ensues is a chaotic chase across a fully realized, hyper-real America, haunted by madness, murder, mistaken identity, and conspiracy. The Coincidence Engine is a lively, boisterous debut that heralds the arrival of a major new talent.

The Coincidence Collector is a brilliant work of fiction based on actual coincidences, many of which can be easily confirmed. Ladner weaves these interesting coincidences into an enticing web of mind-bending reality, leaving readers to wonder what the heck is really going on in the world they thought they knew. The reader will follow Art Lander in his quest to discover as many real coincidences as he can, if only to find out who he really is, and possibly win the lottery in the process. He will get clues from a few friends, two of which are Ruth and Tina, easily the most beautiful women he's ever met. Real world events, discovery dates of named and numbered asteroids, numbers that actually played in past lottery games, and even enigmatic strings of digits after the decimal in pi (in specific places)appear to indicate that there is more to coincidence than meets the eye. In fact, coincidences often appear downright supernatural, as Art soon discovers, especially when they seem to be the cause of his psychic dreams. The reader of The Coincidence Collector should be prepared to absorb real coincidences that he or she should have ALREADY known, such as the fact that the sinking of the Titanic occurred on the SAME TWO DAYS as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but 47 years later. Did you know that already? If not, WHY not? Yes, that's correct, both events spanned a few hours on the same TWO dates in April, 47 years apart. Allow Art Lander and his friends to guide you through the world of confirmable coincidence to its inevitable conclusion: Art isn't who he thought he was in his previous 27 years, and possibly neither are YOU. Have you ever wondered if there is really such a thing as DESTINY? The Coincidence Collector will leave one wondering if one should do one's own "coincidence collecting" just to see for sure, one way or the other! One thing's for sure, you'll at least enjoy the ride. Along the way, you'll also pick up a thing or two about quantum theory, as currently described by the scientific establishment, and Ladner's own insight into the elusive subject. Above all, you'll find that coincidences are perhaps even cooler than you ever thought possible! And if Ladner has it right, they happen a lot more often than one might think.

What determines the course of our lives? Chance . . . or destiny? On Midsummer's Day, 1982, three-year-old Azalea Ives is found alone at a seaside fairground. One year later, her mother's body washes up on a beach—her link to Azalea unnoticed. On Midsummer's Day, 1992, her adoptive parents are killed in a Ugandan rebel uprising; Azalea is narrowly rescued by a figure from her past. Terrified that she, too, will meet her fate on Midsummer's Day, Azalea approaches Thomas Post, an expert in debunking coincidences. Azalea's past, he insists, is random—but as Midsummer's Day approaches, he worries that she may bring fate upon herself.

From the Werkbund to the Bauhaus to Braun, from furniture to automobiles to consumer appliances, twentieth-century industrial design is closely associated with Germany. In this pathbreaking study, Paul Betts brings to light the crucial role that design played in building a progressive West German industrial culture atop the charred remains of the past. The Authority of Everyday Objects details how the postwar period gave rise to a new design culture comprising a sprawling network of diverse interest groups—including the state and industry, architects and designers, consumer groups and museums, as well as publicists and women's organizations—who all identified industrial design as a vital means of economic recovery, social reform, and even moral regeneration. These cultural battles took on heightened importance precisely because the stakes were nothing less than the very shape and significance of West German domestic modernity. Betts tells the rich and far-reaching story of how and why commodity aesthetics became a focal point for fashioning a certain West German cultural identity. This book is situated at the very crossroads of German industry and aesthetics, Cold War politics and international modernism, institutional life and visual culture.
