Walking Away
Not content with walking the Pennine Way as a modern day troubadour, an experience recounted in his bestseller and prize-wining Walking Home, the restless poet has followed up that journey with a walk of the same distance but through the very opposite terrain and direction far from home. In Walking Away Simon Armitage swaps the moorland uplands of the north for the coastal fringes of Britain's south west, once again giving readings every night, but this time through Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, taking poetry into distant communities and tourist hot-spots, busking his way from start to finsh. From the surreal pleasuredome of Minehead Butlins to a smoke-filled roundhouse on the Penwith Peninsula then out to the Isles of Scilly and beyond, Armitage tackles this personal Odyssey with all the poetic reflection and personal wit we've come to expect of one of Britain's best loved and most popular writers.

To Live Among Wolves
What could be the outcome of a marriage of convenience between unregenerate Nazis and Arab terrorists if one of the wedding gifts was a pair of Soviet nuclear devices? If the honeymoon site was an ODESSA-controlled installation in the Congo? If the best man was an American President with a weak moral spine? CIA case officer Hank Ingalls asked himself these questions before he went missing. Powerful government elements want him written off.Furious, the DCI orders a clandestine rescue operation. The CIA resurrects Sean Brogan, an operative forced into retirement because of direct, often violent, problem-solving techniques. Brogan, working with a beautiful Mossad agent, uncovers terrible truths that could destroy the moral leadership of the U.S. among the nations of the world. With enemies threatening to destroy him after he leaves the White House, the President believes the nuclear destruction of Israel is a reasonable price to pay for self-preservation.

Shadow State
Every year the British government spends £80 billion outsourcing public services. Today, private companies are responsible for fulfilling some of the most sensitive and important roles of the state – running prisons and providing healthcare, transport, legal aid, even child protection. These organizations have been handed enormous amounts of power and yet for the most part they operate with no transparency or accountability. From deportations to NHS cutbacks, Alan White exposes what goes wrong when the invisible hand of the market is introduced into public services. Informed by exclusive interviews with senior managers, campaigners and whistle-blowers, Shadow State is the first book to examine the controversial phenomenon of government outsourcing. Not only does White provide the full story behind scandals involving G4S, Serco and ATOS, but he also reveals previously unknown cases of system failure in areas such as social care, welfare and justice. The picture that develops is deeply troubling.
Understanding Disability Policy
We live at a paradoxical time for many disabled people: some achieve new freedoms while others face cuts in services and attempts to restrict who counts as disabled. Locating disability policy within broader social policy contexts, Alan Roulstone and Simon Prideaux critically explore the roles of social support, poverty, socio-economic status, community safety, spatial change, and other issues in shaping disabled people's opportunities. They also consider implications for future policy developments, including the impact of changing government and academic understandings of disability.
