Strength to Strength
When Susan inherited East View House, she had no idea that its location was the hub of international criminal activities. Neither did Richard Morgan, together with his partner Big Bob McAlister, when asked to investigate the activities of a suspect , thought to be acting suspiciously in his horse racing activities, would turn out to be the master mind behind the international criminal activities centred around East View House. Neither did Richard realise the fire in him that Susan would ignite, nor the dangers that he and Bob would face, as their investigation takes them to the coastal areas of Suffolk, agricultural Norfolk and across the North Sea to the Netherlands and Germany. From horse race fixing, illegal immigrant workers and under aged trafficking, Richard and Bob investigate, whilst their working partnership goes from Strength to Strength.
Anger and Beyond
Anger and Beyond is the story of one mans fight within himself. Richardan excellent detective, a likeable guy, but recently always so angry. A drink helps, or does it? The end of his relationship and police career. A bleak interlude for himself and ex-partner Gerry, who, in running away from their relationship, finds herself in terrible danger. A moment of reflection on a park bench leads to a surprise opportunity, and a new successful period in Richards life begins. Big Bob McAllister and Richard Morgan seem an unlikely pair; however, they complement each others strengths and work well together. Their first client, a successful and charismatic nightclub businessman, receives death threats. Then members of his family are kidnapped, or are they? Richard and Bob are congratulating each other on bringing their first investigation to a successful conclusion when their client is arrested on suspicion of murder. In clearing their clients name, the investigation takes Richard to the French Alps and Northern Spain as he seeks to discover the real killer. What he uncovers will rock his clients family and expose their secret lives.

Oh, Carol!
Carol McGiffin has been on Loose Women almost since it started over a decade ago, and she is known and adored by their millions of viewers as one of the most-loved presenters on the show. She’s brimming with brilliantly funny anecdotes and controversial opinions, and says all the things everyone thinks but would never dream of saying. Carol is a natural storyteller and over the last few months she’s been in virtual hibernation – turning down invitations, neglecting her lovely fiancé Mark and spending weeks on end sitting in a wonderful sort of overgrown baby grow known as a Slanket® – and all this so she could knuckle down and write the story of her life so far; all for you, dear r...
The Edinburgh Book of Twentieth-century Scottish Poetry
The most wide-ranging anthology of twentieth-century poetry in English and Scots available.
Personal Life
For more than a decade, Carol Smart has been at the forefront of debates about the sociology of the family. Yet she has become frustrated by the fixation of many commentators with the supposed decline of commitment, and even the decline of the possibility of family life. In this exciting new book, she puts forward a new way of understanding families and relationships. Breaking with conventional wisdom, her book offers a fresh conceptual approach to understanding personal life, which realigns empirical research with theoretical analysis. She gives emphasis to ideas of connectedness, relationality and embeddedness, rejecting many of the assumptions found in theories of individualisation and de...
White Male Nostalgia in Contemporary North American Literature
White Male Nostalgia in Contemporary North American Literature charts the late twentieth-century development of reactionary emotions commonly felt by resentful, yet often goodhearted white men. Examining an eclectic array of literary case studies in light of recent work in critical whiteness and masculinity studies, history, geography, philosophy and theology, Tim Engles delineates five preliminary forms of white male nostalgia—as dramatized in novels by Sloan Wilson, Richard Wright, Carol Shields, Don DeLillo, Louis Begley and Margaret Atwood—demonstrating how literary fiction can help us understand the inner workings of deluded dominance. These authors write from identities outside the defensive domain of normalized white masculinity, demonstrating via extended interior dramas that although nostalgia is primarily thought of as an emotion felt by individuals, it also works to shore up entrenched collective power.

Turn Again Home
Gorton, Manchester. 1930. Greyhound racing at Belle Vue, the buses going up and down Hyde Road, the siren of Peacock's foundry going off every night at six. This is Bessie and Sam Holloway's place, home for Nell and little brother Bobby and older step-child Violet. Precious visits from Dad's sister Benny, a Queen of the music hall trailing clouds of glory and whisky, provide infrequent brushes with glamour. 'Alright for some,' grunts Bessie. Nell grows up to work in a factory and there, from the tailgate of a truck in the yard, she first hears fellow factory worker Harry Caplin play trombone break on the old jazz classic, Clarinet Marmalade. Harry's talent will take him far and introduce him to such jazz legends as Louis Armstrong and Jack Teagarden; but not as far as poor feckless Bobby, who finds himself fighting in the jungles of Malaya. Spanning the twentieth century, this is a poignant story about a brother and a sister and three generations of a northern working-class family.
