The effects of World War II on women's sense of themselves forms the basis of this exploration of the interaction between cultural representations of men and women in World War II, and women's own narratives of their wartime lives.
Not What I Bargained For
When Sandra’s youngest was born, she had four children under seven years old. One daughter was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, and her son was born with a rare disease that required intravenous feeding for over twenty years, and eventually a four-organ transplant. Her son’s positive attitude has helped him become the compassionate pharmacist that he is today, enabling him to help others. Sandra and Wayne always wanted all their children to be independent, and they devoted their lives to accomplishing that goal. Navigating the medical world of hospitals, invasive procedures, and therapists is mind-boggling at best. Follow Sandra as she takes you on her journey with not one but two children who had to deal with major health issues, and watch how they not only survived but thrived in the midst of chaos.
Feminism & Autobiography
Featuring essays by leading feminist scholars from a variety of disciplines, this key text explores the latest developments in autobiographical studies. The collection is structured around the inter-linked concepts of genre, inter-subjectivity and memory. Whilst exemplifying the very different levels of autobiographical activity going on in feminist studies, the contributions chart a movement from autobiography as genre to autobiography as cultural practice, and from the analysis of autobiographical texts to a preoccupation with autobiography as method.

Beyond Legend
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad… Humans and mers have reinstated an alliance long abandoned, and the sea demons no longer threaten the Bahamas. The underwater civilizations are at peace for the first time in millennia. Then a devastating plague returns to devastate the submerged cities, turning mers into insane, ravening beasts. A plague that invariably ends in death. Legend says a cure lies hidden somewhere in a secret cave, and newlyweds David and Faryn set off with their friends to find it. Only then is the true source of the disease revealed—an evil being as old as time whose hatred of the mers will only be satisfied when their entire civilization has been destroyed.

Victoria Crosses on the Western Front – The Final Advance in Flanders and Artois
In the past, while visiting the First World War battlefields, the author often wondered where the various Victoria Cross actions took place. He resolved to find out. In 1988, in the midst of his army career, research for this book commenced and over the years numerous sources have been consulted. Victoria Crosses on the Western Front - The Final Advance in Flanders and Artois is designed for the battlefield visitor as much as the armchair reader. A thorough account of each VC action is set within the wider strategic and tactical context. Detailed sketch maps show the area today, together with the battle-lines and movements of the combatants. It will allow visitors to stand upon the spot, or very close to, where each VC was won. Photographs of the battle sites richly illustrate the accounts. There is also a comprehensive biography for each recipient, covering every aspect of their lives, warts and all, parents and siblings, education, civilian employment, military career, wife and children, death and burial/commemoration. A host of other information, much of it published for the first time, reveals some fascinating characters, with numerous links to many famous people and events.
No Known Address
Luke Barber went missing from his village, leaving no clue to his whereabouts or why he left. Now, three years later, Luke’s father hopes ex-cop Michael McLaren can find a trace of Luke, alive or dead. As McLaren pokes through the case details, he wonders if the pressure of succeeding in tennis or music, or his upcoming marriage, was too much for the lad and he simply ran away. And McLaren’s suspicion may be correct, for he soon is assaulted and left for dead—a hint that he’s upset someone connected with this case. McLaren unearths the lies and false identity shoved at him, and uncovers what became of Luke, a discovery aided by idolatrous love and an ancient stone man.
