Book Description

Jupiter’s magnetosphere (the region of space in which Jupiter’s magnetic field influences the motion of charged particles) is the largest object in the solar system; it exhibits new phenomena and behaves, in some respects, like a pulsar. It is a magnetosphere whose physics is dominated by internal sources of plasma and energy. This book consists of twelve carefully interwoven articles written by leading space scientists who summarize our state of knowledge of the physics of the magnetosphere surrounding the planet Jupiter. Ground-based data as well as information from the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft are used in developing both physical descriptions and theoretical understanding. Physics of the Jovian Magnetosphere is a valuable reference work for those doing research in magnetospheric physics and in a number of related disciplines.

Book Description

Whether it is tracking down a wayward major who has taken a deadly secret with him to the Caribbean or identifying a top Russian agent secretly bidding for a Fabergé egg in a Sotheby's auction room, Bond always closes the case—with extreme prejudice.

This new Penguin edition comprises four stories, including Fleming's little-known story “007 in New York,” showcasing Bond's taste for Manhattan's special pleasures—from martinis at the Plaza and dinner at the Grand Central Oyster Bar to the perfect anonymity of the Central Park Zoo for a secret rendezvous.

Super Reader.......2007-08-04

Another Bond book that is a collection of shorter pieces, Octopussy, The Living Daylights and The Property of a Lady. The first story is about a villain, the second Bond is sent as a sniper to kill a female assassin, and in the third he investigates a double agent involved with selling a Carl Faberge egg.

The Last Hurrah of Agent 007.......2007-05-02

I've just finished rereading all of the James Bond novels in order twenty years after reading them for the first time.

My favorites remain CASINO ROYALE, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (and LIVE AND LET DIE coming real close to my top tier). Since the release last year of Daniel Craig's debut as Bond, those three are also my favorite films as well.

While rereading the books, I also read Andrew Lycett's insightfuly bio of Fleming and could see how each book was a reflection of Fleming's own life at the time. Fleming could write fluid action scenes in exotic locations...but he quickly became jaded and bored with his superspy creation. As his own health seriously deteriorated after a massive heart attack, the books got darker and more preoccupied with death. YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, the last book he sent off to be published before his death, was part Japanese travelogue and part death lit about a culture mired in hara-kari and kamikaze. The Fleming touch comes to life in that novel when Bond hears about a Garden of Death encircling a castle, a collection of every deadly plant, animal and fish that becomes a suicide attraction for the throngs of Japanese looking to kill themselves.

The last novel, the "rough draft" of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, is tired and spent.

But the final book in the series, OCTOPUSSY AND THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, is back to form, as good as the stories in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (perhaps better). I can't remember when Fleming wrote these stories but they're certainly better than the previous book and well worth reading.

In "Octopussy", Bond visits an rich old man in Jamaica to confront him over a post-WWII crime that touched Bond personally. What struck me about the story was that it appeared Fleming was describing himself as the older man (the boredom, the health issues) and that the crime that's come to light all these years later took place in a location Fleming dearly loved as a young man.

Elements from "The Property of a Lady" would end up in the 1983 film of OCTOPUSSY, but the story is clever in how spy games work--at least in the world of 007 (KGB mole is paid off by using a London auction).

"The Living Daylights" has Bond in West Berlin, looking to take out an East Berlin sniper before he (or she) can kill an agent making a break for the West. The idea would show up at the beginning of 1987's THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. The bleak setting alone reminded me of John Le Carre's THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD.

This Penguin edition also includes the very brief "007 in New York" which is of interest in how Fleming and 007 each saw NYC and how Bond likes his scrambled eggs. No huge revelations there.

As I finish these novels though I wished Fleming had dug a little deeper into his creation. Bond more or less remains the same "blunt instrument" he started out as. Missions come and go, so do women. He may visit the grave of Vesper Lynd and grieve somewhere off the page for the murder of Tracy, but Fleming shrugs them all off--along with any soul-searching--as another mission pops up. Bond's jovial flirting with the Japanese geisha girls in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE a chapter or two after M is discussing his state of mind after the murder of his wife was a little jarring.

Bond was a safe character for Fleming as long as he remained a blunt instrument. The image had already taken over the character before Fleming could give him anymore than everyone expected or wanted.
We got our hero.

The human side of Bond.......2007-02-25

I agree with all the positive reviews here. The Bond books present a compelling view of James Bond that few of the movies even hint at. In short: Fleming's Bond is all too human, with real human emotions, desires, strengths and weaknesses. Sure, he's tough, and at times cold-hearted, but he also has a sense of right and wrong that keeps him going. And, even more than in the novels, Fleming used the short stories (as found in both Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only) to further explore Bond's common human traits. What a revelation to finally read these books and encounter a Bond to whom one can actually relate. As with all the other Bond books, once you start reading the short stories in Octopussy, you can't put the book down.

The Real Bond Was Not A Clown.......2005-11-04

As enjoyable as two or three of the movies are, they are not what Fleming wrote about. The stories are set in the Fifties, mostly, and do not involve spaceships or lasergun wristwatches; and Bond himself is not a wisecracking, smirking prettyboy.
He is a cold-blooded killer, tough as nails, who has taught himself the hedonistic pleasures of the table because he has no wife to pamper him. He's actually only a minor character in two of the four stories in this book - but his presence anchors the tales in place and time. Why didn't they make real movies out of these books instead of just borrowing the titles? Octopussy is a really good book in the Bond pantheon.

Look Cubby! Bond with no gadgets and no women........2005-08-27

Ian Fleming penned 14 Bond adventures before his death in 1964. He lived to see the first few movies made, was hopelessly smitten with the young Ursula Andress, and fortunately did not live to see the excesses of his sucessors.

This book is a compilation of three short stories in Octopussy, The Living Daylights, and Property of a Lady. There is no real resemblance to the similarly titled films, but some of the scenes and characters from the short stories made it to the big screen.

These stories show what Bond would do on a slow day, no gadgets or romance involved. Bond does not entertain three women per story, in fact, he meets none. He is smitten at a distance with a cello player, but nothing develops romantically, and the female lead of the third story is described as unattractive.

Bond simply closes out a few files, as one might do in a short week before heading out on holiday. Of course, M and Ms. Moneypenny appear here, with M and the unnamed Chief of Staff providing Bond with his orders and accoutrements.

Octopussy is the best of the lot here. In fact, Bond barely appears in the story set in Fleming's beloved Jamaica about 15 years after the war. A British army major comes into a treasure in the closing chaotic days of the war in Europe. His techniques included murder and eventually he is tracked down by 007 who had been an acquaintance of the "Good German" victim.

The Living Daylights features a challenge between two trained assassins, which will be familiar to viewers of the Timothy Dalton film. Fleming very cleverly sets the scene at Checkpoint Charlie just before the Wall went up. Both sides use innovative cover to muffle their killer's sounds and movements. We get a real sense of the unpleasant side of the business, as Bond's portfolio is murder. He does not relish the assignment, in fact, he speaks of a preference for demotion, drinks whiskey before the event, and fails to complete all parts of the assignment.

Property of a Lady is a primer on Faberge with the famous auction scene, brought to the big screen in a Roger Moore film. Rather than lamely stealing the real article, Bond uses the event to better ends. Here Bond shows more initiative and insight than M in flushing out an important Soviet agent while keeping a useful double agent in place.

Boring.......2002-11-18

This seems to be some mesh left in a drawer and published just to make some more money. The stories are to short and don't give any depth or real interest in Bond, compared to the normal novels.

Gripping stories with the always likable James Bond!.......1999-09-04

This was my first James Bond book, and so I didn't know what to expect. This book is all in all good. "Octopussy" is a good story, but, since it is lacking James Bond for most of it, it doesn't have the pace of the others. "The Living Daylights" is by far the best, with a suspenseful climax and interesting descriptions of drab Berlin. "The Property of a Lady" is not very suspenseful, but it was still a very good read. I am definitely going to read another Fleming soon!

Very Good Storytelling.......1999-07-10

Octopussy is a very good short story collection, though "For Your Eyes Only" was better, if you ask me. As Fleming proved in "FYEO", he can make a good story with little help from 007. The title story also proves this. In it, Bond makes little more than a cameo appearance. The main character is the power-hungry Dexter Smythe. His is obsessed with his pet octopus, which ends up causing his deliciously ironic demise. "The Living Daylights" is also very good. I like the ending to the story, but you already know what's going to happen if you've seen the first fifteen minutes of the "Living Daylights" movie. The book loses a star for "The Property of a Lady", which is dull. I advise a reader to just skip it. Despite one disappointing story, I enjoyed this book very much.

Fleming's least known 007 book.......1998-02-03

As Conan Doyle did in the late 1890's (and as others like Ellery Queen and Agatha Christie followed), Ian Fleming seemed to has suscribed the theory that sometimes "less is more" in writing a story, thus chosing a short tale instead of a long one for more impact. This book comprises, in its final form, three novelettes a la "For Your Eyes Only". The book was first printed in 1966 (being the last release of a Fleming original), but the stories were written and fictionally occur after "The Spy Who Loved Me" and before "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The title episode is another showcase for Fleming's ability to write a story in the true sense, picturing a tale of a man's life since the WWII up to his last days in the Caribbean. Bond is merely an excuse for a dramatic tale of greed, murder and treachery. This story is highlighted by another excellent underwater frame-sequence. "The Living Daylights" is pure Bond, from his practice with the rifle outside London to the tense climax at Berlin. This story is another twist of the plot of "For Your Eyes Only", showing 007 as an assassin questioning about his job but doing it the best he can. Excellent surprising villain(ess). "The Property of a Lady" is a brief example of the author's master touch for describing with great detail and gusto parts of recent history and all kind of things and subjects, in this case jewels and auctions. The development itself is direct and simple, too short indeed, with an ending that doesn't matter as much as the description of the events. By the way, this episode refers to another traitor in the Service. A collection of odd but varied 007 missions.

A Gem.......1998-02-02

Without doubt taut, memorable and thrilling....as usual.

Book Description

The rise in the number of cross-border transactions and large insolvencies in free-market countries has brought director liability to the foreground, most notably regarding positions that span multiple jurisdictions and do not involve an active role in management. Directors must be aware of the rules applicable in the countries in which they hold positions, especially where their companies face financial difficulties or insolvency. Numerous differences in the law exist, even between countries close in proximity and those which speak the same language and share the same legal history. The cost of failure to conform to applicable laws may be dire. Numerous factors hamper access to the applicable rules, however: the lack of a multi-national treaty dealing in depth with insolvency, corporate restructuring, or directors' liabilities; the lack of unity in applicable sanctions; the complex and numerous sources of jurisdictional rules (the Insolvency Act, the Corporations Act, and the Criminal Code, or some combination); the lack of jurisdictional consistency in classifying a particular behaviour as illegal; the significant role of a constantly evolving body of case law; and the instructions imposed on public prosecutors by governmental bodies. This book navigates these complexities, making the rules accessible for the reader. It sets out fact patterns which trigger liability in various jurisdictions and offers helpful real-world recommendations in a lucid, straightforward manner. The chapters follow the same basic frame and guidelines for ease of comparison. Lawyers and business people alike will appreciate this clear, practical guidance in a particularly challenging area of the law.
