Goodbye to Mum and Dad
After eight years together, Mum and Dad finally married in Clapton on 4 April 1956. Apparently it snowed. After the ceremony at St Andrews Church, photos were taken at Auntie Gertie and Uncle Oliver’s house in Loughton. Gertie’s daughter (Mum’s niece), Janet, was chief bridesmaid, and both full families were in attendance with one exception. Not long before the wedding, Grandma Edie had died. In the wedding photographs, whilst Dad looks full of pride and happiness, Mum appears sad but radiant. She was given away by her brother John. The reception was at the rambling King’s Head pub in Chigwell. Mum and Dad were a good match. Dad was highly sociable and could talk to anyone. Mum was naturally shy, unusual in the Kirby family, but she gained in confidence as she got older with Dad by her side. Mum covered up her shyness by talking a lot, and she said a lot of funny things. Dad was placid, with never a bad word to say about anyone. He hated confrontation. Mum was emotional at times, and I’m the same. Mum used to say the reason we argued was because we were so alike.

The Politics of Location
This book, originally published in 1982, begins with an examination of space, and its role in the process of public provision and collective consumption. Variations in provision are linked to the Weberian notion of social status and political struggles over consumption and externality issues. Health care and education are considered in spatial contexts, and the whole basis of the electoral system is also discussed together with geographic underpinnings. In each case emphasis is placed on the jurisdictional organization of space by public bodies. The author examines the various examples of spatial cleavages, in which political events are redirected by issues such as nuclear power, airport location, road construction and urban renewal.

Public Service Provision and Urban Development
Originally published in 1984. The authors of this study address a number of major themes related to the analysis of public services: the role of public choice theory, the importance of professors and organisations, the value of neo-Marxist theories and the importance of space. These issues are considered in the context of case studies of school closures, the provision of medical care, the relationships between Federal outlays and presidential politics, the provision of nurseries, demand-making in local government and the fiscal crisis facing many American cities. The subject of public service provision is of great interest not only to political scientists but also to geographers and to sociologists. This book presents a great deal of new thinking and new research from both North America and Britain.
Spies, Gold and Greed
Our dubious hero Biao wakes up to find himself in a helicopter being transported to a Chinese military base. His last espionage mission saved China from a nuclear retaliation, and the last he could remember was being picked up by Arab Bedouins after his helicopter went down. A few nuclear missiles had reached the front lines of battle, but did not destroy any Chinese cities. He wondered if his parents survived. They were two of the unlucky patriots that were drafted to fight in a war in which they were too old to fight. Biao becomes more and more intertwined with the future of China and the world, playing a major part in espionage tactics, and yet finding himself powerless in the newest wave of world's history. Would it last or be washed away as so many of humankind's previous "sand castles"? Strategy and scheming are awakened in people's hearts once more, and Biao finds himself just a piece on the chess board of ever increasing intrigue on a global scale.
