SOHO. London's most notorious and unforgettable village. The Bohemian heart beating at the city centre for more than three hundred years. The place where respectable West End theatres, gay bars, hookers and sex shops vie for your pound, dollar or yen less than a mile from Buckingham Palace. Sit outside one of Soho's many street cafes for any length of time and you'll see a huge variety of people passing by. A handful will have been born there, most are visitors who've come to work, to seek out sensation or to cruise for sex. But some came once, got seduced or found what they were looking for, and never left. SOHO NIGHTS is the uproarious, witty and touching saga of an engaging cast of characters - straight, gay, black, white, old, young - who share an ancient house in Soho and whose personal stories, separate yet intertwined, funny as well as dramatic, smash all social and sexual barriers.

Three teenage boys, the sole survivors of a shipwreck, find themselves marooned on a deserted island in the South Pacific. With little more than a telescope and a broken knife, the youths must find food and shelter and learn to survive. But though the coral island is a tropical paradise, full of natural beauty and exotic fruits and wildlife, dangers and adventures abound: sharks, pirates, and even bloodthirsty cannibals! Scottish-born R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) wrote more than ninety books for young people during the Victorian era, the most famous of which is The Coral Island (1857), a tale whose popularity has proved so enduring that it has never been out of print. A thrilling story in the tradition of Robinson Crusoe and a key influence on later classics such as Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" and William Golding's "Lord of the Flies", "The Coral Island" is presented here in a new scholarly edition that includes the unabridged text of the first British edition, a new introduction and notes by Ralph Crane and Lisa Fletcher, and the original illustrations by the author.

Quality measurement and quality reporting are ever growing aspects of the healthcare environment. Quality assessment is valuable to all healthcare stakeholders: pati...
