Colin Jackson
One of the greatest athletes ever, Colin Jackson has defied injury and the athlete's typically short career span to become a champion hurdler of previously unheard of longevity. This book shares Jackson's unique beliefs and is an inspiring story of dedication and perseverance.
Life's New Hurdles
Colin Jackson is one of the greatest athletes that Britain has ever produced. He was in the world top ten for 16 years, and was world number 1 for two of them. He set seven European and Commonwealth and nine UK records, and he still holds the world record for indoor hurdling. In 2003 Colin retired from athletics in front of an adoring home crowd. Then real life began. In Life’s New Hurdles Colin describes the shock of adjusting to sudden change. How would he manage without the strict routine of training and competing that had been his life since the age of 17? Would he forever long to be back on the track? And how satisfying would his new career be as a sports presenter and television personality? From athletics commentating to Strictly Come Dancing, Colin describes the challenges and joys of starting a whole new life.

Colin Jordan and Britain's Neo-Nazi Movement
Colin Jordan and Britain's Neo-Nazi Movement casts fresh light on one of post-war Britain's most prominent and extreme fascists, using him as a lens to examine the contemporary history of the extreme right. The book explores the wide range of neo-Nazi groups that Colin Jordan inspired, led and contributed to throughout his time as Britain's foremost promoter of Nazi ideology. In a period stretching from the fallout of the Second World War right up to the Blair years, Colin Jordan became politically engaged with a multitude of Nazi-inspired extremist organisations, either as leader or as a key protagonist. Moreover, Jordan also developed critical relationships with larger, competitor extreme-right organisations and parties, including the Greater Britain Movement, the National Front and the most recent incarnation of the British National Party. His writings and attitude have even encouraged more recent extremist groups, such as the British People's Party and the British Movement, who have looked to Jordan as an inspirational figure in their own reconfigurations of a National Socialist political agenda.

Taxonomy of Australian Mammals
Taxonomy of Australian Mammals utilises the latest morphometric and genetic research to develop the most up to date and comprehensive revision of the taxonomy of Australian mammals undertaken to date. It proposes significant changes to the higher ranks of a number of groups and recognises several genera and species that have only very recently been identified as distinct. This easy to use reference also includes a complete listing of all species, subspecies and synonyms for all of Australia’s mammals, both native and introduced as well as terrestrial and marine. This book lays a foundation for future taxonomic work and identifies areas where taxonomic studies should be targeted, not only at the species and subspecies level but also broader phylogenetic relationships. This work will be an essential reference for students, scientists, wildlife managers and those interested in the science of taxonomy.

The Old Contemptibles
Following a passionate and troubled love affair with a pretty widow named Jane Holdsworth, Jury finds himself, unaccountably, a suspect in a murder investigation. Detained in London, Jury sends his friend Melrose Plant, former Earl of Caverness, to the Holdsworth family’s Lake District home to pose as an eccentric librarian. Plant discovers that his catalogue cards contain less data on Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey than they do on tantalizing questions about the Holdsworths: What happened to Crabbe Holdsworth’s first wife? What happened to his son, Graham? What happened to the cook, Annie? And what might happen to the two children, favorites of rich old Adam Holdworth, who prefers the ambience of a swank retirement home, Castle Howe, where he and the elegant Lady Cray can drive the staff crazy? Jury and Sergeant Wiggins finally join Melrose at the Old Contemptibles pub, where they arrive at a solution that Jury detests, for no matter what he does, innocence will suffer.
