Paul Harrison brengt een schat aan ervaring mee uit zijn carrière binnen het Britse strafrechtsysteem, voornamelijk als politieagent. Zijn nauwe samenwerking met de FBI's Behavioral Science Unit gaf hem een uniek en opmerkelijk inzicht in de geest van enkele van 's werelds meest gewelddadige criminelen. Als auteur heeft hij zich voornamelijk gericht op true crime, hoewel hij zich onlangs ook op fictie heeft gewaagd. Zijn schrijfstijl onderscheidt zich door authenticiteit en een diep begrip van de criminele psychologie, waardoor lezers een verontrustende maar fascinerende kijk krijgen op de donkere kanten van de menselijke psyche.
Albert Johanneson became one of the first high profile black players in football when he joined Leeds United from the poverty of South African township life in 1961.

Harrison argues that population growth, rising consumption and damaging technologies have combined to bring on the biggest environmental crisis in human history. Just as crisis spurred the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, so it may the third revolution that is needed to achieve sustainable development. Harrison provides a bulletin on the state of the planet and the process of destruction, and a blueprint for the third revolution. Harrison is author of "Inside the Third World" and was the 1988 recipient of the UNEP Global 500 award for outstanding services to the environment. The book is being made into a TV documentary to coincide with publication.
