The Boy Who Felt No Pain
The year is 1760 and the coastal town of Deal is a dangerous place, ruled by bare knuckle fighter Dale Jenkins and his ruthless gang of thugs who demand money from anyone forced to live on the wrong side of the law. But when Dale dies, a battle for leadership between his brother and youngest son, Ronnie, begins. As the townsfolk hold their breath in anticipation of trouble, local fisherman turned smuggler, Billy Bates, spots an opportunity to end the Jenkins’ reign of terror and gathers an army out of the clan’s enemies, an army of misfits including a daring young thief called Alfred Bicks and a mysterious orphan whose past has destroyed his very soul. Risking everything, Bill steps out of the shadows challenging the clan for control of the town’s criminal underworld and all-out war erupts in the streets.
Beginnings
Alexei has a secret - a secret that makes him different from every other boy in his class. Very different, in fact, from any child he has ever seen - boy or girl. So far, nobody else knows his secret. Not even his foster parents or his sisters. While he has managed to keep it that way for more than a year, it is starting to get more and more difficult to keep his secret with each passing day. More especially now that he is into a new school year at a new and very strict school, a school where he has already been subject to some nasty bullying, because of his slightly "quirky" behaviour and the peculiar way he looks in his rather too large school uniform. Today is Monday - the first day of the third week of the school term - and once again, Alexei has a P.E. class, which means swimming lessons. So far, he has managed to avoid all of them; but there is no way that he can keep doing so without getting punished, quite severely. Going swimming, however, will also reveal his secret, and he is not sure if his classmates, his teachers, his school, or even the world, is quite ready for that!
Bloody Tuesday
This compelling work recovers a neglected episode in the Black community's long struggle for full citizenship when police and Klansmen stormed First African Baptist Church and brutalized over 600 unarmed protestors preparing to march for freedom. Bloody Tuesday, as Tuscaloosa residents called the day, is one of the most violent episodes in the civil rights movement.
The Iron Road in the Prairie State
In 1836, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas agreed on one thing: Illinois needed railroads. Over the next fifty years, the state became the nation's railroad hub, with Chicago at its center. Speculators, greed, growth, and regulation followed as the railroad industry consumed unprecedented amounts of capital and labor. A nationwide market resulted, and the Windy City became the site of opportunities and challenges that remain to this day. In this first-of-its-kind history, full of entertaining anecdotes and colorful characters, Simon Cordery describes the explosive growth of Illinois railroads and its impact on America. Cordery shows how railroading in Illinois influenced railroad financing, the creation of a national economy, and government regulation of business. Cordery's masterful chronicle of rail development in Illinois from 1837 to 2010 reveals how the state's expanding railroads became the foundation of the nation's rail network.

It hits hard at just how simple it is to be poisoned from the vapors from mercury and mercury amalgam exposures and yet just how difficult it is to achieve understanding from anyone in either the health care industry or society in general. Dr. Scheckner is able to take the reader on a journey of just how simple it is for mercury to slowly and silently destroy someones life. People are being hurt, not only from the damaging effects of mercury on ones health, but also from the battle that it takes to achieve acceptance and recognition that mercury poisoning is a disease. This is a compelling story that all too many people in our profession of dentistry and patients who have...
Crowns
Alexei and Tristan have a secret life as brothers. They are also angels trying to live a life on Earth as ordinary children, and are perhaps the only angels attempting such a life. With each of them having already survived an attempt on their life, and amidst their need for secrecy, events are now coming into place for the biggest challenge they have ever faced. The fulfilment of a prophecy carved in stone tells of righting the wrongs of a distant past. The strange dreams that have given them access to even more knowledge of the past have not only shown them the horrors of those events, but also a way to enact the prophecy. But in doing so, both of them will be exposed to unexpected mortal danger.
