Living History
The assassinated Prime Minister Spencer Perceval and his wife Jane Wilson had twelve children, six sons and six daughters. This book is about them. The oldest was born in 1791 and the last died in 1900, so it is about their impact on the 19th century and it on them. Their lives illuminate many aspects of the period. In several cases they were exceptional, sometimes tragic. This 'Family's 19th Century' mirrored that of many other peoples as well.

Making the Heavens Hum
Born in Hull into a family of Liberal Methodists, Kingsley Wood was a solicitor and poor man's lawyer committed to individual rights, one-nation politics and applied Christianity. First a local Conservative politician, then a national one, he would now be described as the man who got things done. Wood helped national insurance and the Ministry of Health into being and oversaw the 'homes for heroes' housing programme after World War I. He campaigned for allotments, earlier shop closing, the right to jury trial and the rule of law. He was instrumental in the downfall of the first Labour government in 1924. Winston Churchill appointed him Chancellor of the Exchequer in May 1940, the office he still held at his death in September 1943.
Martha Grimes Walks Into a Pub
Since the 1979 discovery of her work in a slush pile at Little, Brown, Martha Grimes has gone on to publish more than 30 books, win international acclaim (and a Nero Wolfe Award) for her detective series, and develop a following of readers whose loyalty translates to repeated stays on the best-sellers lists. This collection of 10 critical essays provides an in-depth analysis of Grimes' oeuvre, principally the Richard Jury, Emma Graham, and Andi Oliver series. The essays address Grimes' themes of parental abandonment, loneliness, obsession, greed, mistaken and dual identity, the resilience of children, stunted romantic relationships and animal cruelty. Particular attention is paid to her engaging characters, strong sense of place and the comedy, which feature so strongly in her novels.

Youth Violence
This bibliography comprises a selection of Library of Congress catalog records for some 1,500 books, periodicals, and websites related to youth violence. Anyone wanting such a bibliography could probably compile it from the Library of Congress web site, and the deficiencies in conception and design of this "product" defy understanding. A brief preface sounds an alarm--"...no one should be surprised that youth violence lurks behind every school house door"--but sets forth no criteria for selection of citations (no indication of time frame, purpose, or audience). Entries are arranged alphabetically by title within chapters on school violence, guns and youth, gangs, campus violence, dating and ...

A five-year-old Meckling, South Dakota, farm girl climbs up on the chair next to her mother. The church organ is playing a hymn and she begins to sing at the top of her lungs. Heads started turning and smiles broke out all around. This young girl grew up listening to great music and wonderful singing. She also loved to watch and listen to the birds sing their special songs. A dream was born to her to sing beautiful music also.
