Alex James

I was the Fool-king of Soho and the number-one slag in the Groucho Club, the second drunkest member of the world's drunkest band. This was no disaster, though. It was a dream coming true.' For Alex James, music had always been a door to a more eventful life. But as bass player of Blur - one of the most successful British bands of all time - his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted. In Bit of a Blur he chronicles his journey from a slug-infested flat in Camberwell to a world of screaming fans and private jets - and his eventual search to find meaning and happiness (and, perhaps most importantly, the perfect cheese), in an increasingly surreal world.

The Autobiography

Bit Of A Blur

Bit of a Blur

Alex Parker is beautiful, sexy and has a temper to match. She will make sure that no one messes with her family and what belongs to her. All the ladies love Max Steele, a dashing billionaire who gave up his luxurious life style to join the navy seals. His one rule: never mix business with pleasure. But that was before he met Alex. "Boss Lady" follows Alex Parker's journey after the sudden loss of her parents. Just 21, she must decide whether to save her father's legacy or sell it to her enemy.

Boss Lady

G. Albert Turner

A full-throttle, fem-powered sci-fi actioner in the vein of Taken, Blade Runner and Riddick, from Alex James (The Pandora Sequence). Set against a bleak, morally-warped future dystopia, corporation employed secret agents battle for the galaxy's most sort after commodity, Ambrosia. White can’t remember her real name, or anything much about her real life – all she remembers is that slavers kidnapped her sister, the only thing she loves, and that that she has less than twelve hours to steal her back – or she will be lost forever in a lawless, immoral and barbaric moral vacuum of a galaxy where humanity has run rampant, limitless and uncontrolled, for centuries. Totally desperate, White has sold her body to the Celestia Corporation – receiving deadly skill and memory upgrades from Celestia’s most feared assassin – the cold sexual predator and emotionless psychopath known as Venus; a cruelly efficient, genetically engineered, galaxy-scale super-weapon in the body of a goddess. But even with these advantages, White knows that time is running out, and only the deep emotional bond with her sister will keep her going; White’s determination – and newfound brutality – cannot waver... even if it means leaving a devastating trail of death and wreckage in her wake, even if it means that what she finds at the end of her path of destruction – and what she has become – is more horrifying that anything she could have imagined...

Venus IA

This remarkable true story of adolescent sexual abuse, survival and triumph offers realistic hope to all victims of abuse - both for recovery, and for a fulfilling life no longer defined by an abusive past. The author's courageous struggle to achieve insight and awareness - and eventually see justice done - points a way for others to overcome childhood trauma and victimisation.

A Story of Hate and Acceptance

Buried Alive

This book covers a range of models, circuits and systems built with memristor devices and networks in applications to neural networks. It is divided into three parts: (1) Devices, (2) Models and (3) Applications. The resistive switching property is an important aspect of the memristors, and there are several designs of this discussed in this book, such as in metal oxide/organic semiconductor nonvolatile memories, nanoscale switching and degradation of resistive random access memory and graphene oxide-based memristor. The modelling of the memristors is required to ensure that the devices can be put to use and improve emerging application. In this book, various memristor models are discussed, from a mathematical framework to implementations in SPICE and verilog, that will be useful for the practitioners and researchers to get a grounding on the topic. The applications of the memristor models in various neuromorphic networks are discussed covering various neural network models, implementations in A/D converter and hierarchical temporal memories.

ALL CHEESES GREAT AND SMALL is the follow-up memoir to Alex James's first book, BIT OF A BLUR, the story of his excessive pop star lifestyle during the 90s. But now Alex has grown up, fallen in love and got married. He has also fallen passionately for his new home, an enormous rambling farmhouse in the Cotswolds set in two hundred acres of beautiful British farmland.The farm does not just represent a new house for Alex, it is also a new career. As he breathes new life into the old farm he chances across an unexpected calling - making cheese. Alex's homemade cheese has received widespread media interest and is now sold through many outlets.The story culminates with an account of the triumphant reformation of Blur for Glastonbury 2009. It will also include illustrations by Graham Coxon.
