More than ninety years on, the Gallipoli landings of 1915-16 are famous as perhaps the most disastrous, horrific and pointless campaign of the entire First World War. From the initial botched landing through the long agonising months in the trenches, a combination of strategic incompetence and intolerable conditions led to unimaginable suffering for Allies and Turks alike and a combined death toll of over 120,000. First published in 1956, when it won the first Duff Cooper Prize, Alan Moorehead's book is still the classic account. Vivid, analytical and highly readable, it brings the complex operation to life, showing just how and why it went so wrong.

Why would a smart New York investment banker pay twelve million dollars for the decaying, stuffed carcass of a shark? By what alchemy does Jackson Pollock's drip painting No.5 1948 sell for $140 million? 'The $12 Million Dollar Stuffed Shar'k is the first book to look at the economics of the modern art world, and the marketing strategies that power the market to produce such astronomical prices. Don Thompson talks to auction houses, dealers, and collectors to find out the source of Charles Saatchi's Midas touch, and how far a gallery like White Cube has contributed to Damien Hirst becoming one of the highest-earning artists in the world.

[Read by William Dufris] The Golden Capstone atop the Great Pyramid at Giza offered protection from the global flooding and scorching sun that occurs every 4,500 years due to the Tartarus Rotation solar event. But Alexander the Great broke the Capstone into seven pieces and hid them in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Now, in 2006, another Tartarus Rotation is due, and whoever places the reconstructed Capstone on the pyramid in time will gain absolute earthly power. Everyone wants the Capstone -- from the most powerful countries to terrorists -- and one daring coalition of eight small nations who think that no single country should possess such awesome power.
