	Capital Disasters: How London Has Survived Fire, Flood, Disease, Riot and War Price: $22.95 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) Editorial Review: From A.D. 61, when Queen Boudicca - outraged at her treatment at the hands of the Romans - marched on the ten-year-old city and burned it to the ground, London has been hit by wave upon wave of destruction. Disasters such as earthquakes, flood, fire, disease and war have bruised and battered this capital city but London and its people have refused to be overcome. Many of the key buildings in London stand as monuments to this spirit of tenacity, none more so than St. Paul's cathedral. Burnt down in 604, 1087 and 1665, St. Paul's has also been struck by lightning three times. During the Great Fire of London, class distinctions vanished as King Charles II and his brother, later King James II, took charge of some of the firefighting. Prince Albert did the same during a serious fire at Windsor Castle, proving so effective that everything was under control when the Fire Chief arrived. The London spirit was also prevalent during medieval times when Westminster's Great Hall was flooded frequently - the lawyers continued their work in boats. From Boudicca's attack to the 747 cargo airliner crash at Stansted in 1999, Capital Disasters travels through the centuries and through disasters such as the sinking of paddle steamer the Princess Alice, England's worst ever train crash and the Silvertown explosion of 1917 - the biggest in London's history. The book unearths the human stories behind the tragedies and celebrates the indomitable spirit which rises above all. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the colourful history of this capital city. Lowest New Price: $7.94 - Total New: 5 Lowest Used Price: $0.90 - Total Used: 21

	Body 115: The mystery of the last Victim of the King's Cross Fire Condition: New Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Price: $28.95 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) (1 Customer Reviews) Editorial Review: In 1987 a tragic fire swept through London’s King’s Cross underground station claiming 31 lives after a dropped match set fire to escalator machinery. The charred remains of the victims were painstakingly identified from a list of reported missing persons and their dental and medical records, but twelve months later, one body remained unidentified. The last victim acquired the name it had been given at the morgue, Body 115, and that was where it appeared the investigation would end late in 1988, when all leads had run dry. But Inspector Ian Wilkinson could not let the case rest. Despite much unwarranted and very public criticism over his handling of the search and rescue mission, he vowed that he would not leave the British Transport Police until the nameless 5 foot 2 inch smoker had been identified. The 17 years which followed were filled with more dashed hopes, false leads, forensic anomalies and dead ends than a murder mystery novel – would the unclaimed sailor’s suitcase in lost property hold the key? Or the Japanese surgeon’s clip? Could new forensic technology provide the answer? The solution eventually came to rest with two families, both desperately hoping to solve the mystery of their father’s disappearance and both anxiously needing to end their suffering by burying their relative, but always knowing that only one could be the victim’s true family. The truth was only uncovered at last by the diligent and exhaustive detective work of Inspector Wilkinson, who wouldn’t let the case rest and astonishing forensic evidence that finally proved the true identity of Body 115.
