The Olive Press: News From the Land of the Misfits
It's 2005 and Jason Heppenstall is trying to forget the violent start to his new life in Spain - so setting up a newspaper in an oddball town in the mountains south of Granada seems like just the ticket. But with no journalism skills and no experience of running a newspaper it's touch and go right from the start. The Olive Press and its ragtag band of writers certainly causes a stir when it arrives on the scene, with its 'green' outlook and its stance against corruption. But it isn't long before trouble surfaces and it's a struggle for survival for the fledgling newspaper as it joins in the fight to stop the destruction of an ancient forest, and gets into a spat with a miscreant British politician that turns out to have huge ramifications. Set around Orgiva in the beautiful Alpujarra region of Andalucia, this is the often absurd and sometimes shocking story of how one of Spain's most popular English language newspapers came to be. Be warned, however, The Olive Press - News From the Land of the Misfits will have you either laughing out loud or choking on your tapas - not your average Spanish memoir.
The British Television Pilot Episodes Research Guide 1936-2015
A new idea can become an expensive flop for TV executives. So from the earliest days of television, the concept of a pilot episode seemed like a good idea. Trying out new actors; new situations and new concepts before making a series was good economical sense. It was also tax deductible. Sometimes these pilots were shown on television; sometimes they were so awful they were hidden from sight in archives; and sometimes they were excellent one-offs, but a series seemed elusive and never materialised. Chris Perry has always been fascinated by the pilot episode. So many pilots are made annually, but never seen by audiences. Only a handful appear on screen. It's a hidden world of comedy, variety, drama and factual programming. This volume attempts to lift the lid on the world of the TV pilot by revealing the many transmitted and untransmitted episodes made through the decades.

The Path to Odin's Lake
Ex-newspaper editor Jason Heppenstall, worn down by the constant drumbeat of dire news in the world, decides to set out on a journey in search of some answers. With not much more than some walking boots, a notebook and a wooden staff, he sets off from his old home in Copenhagen with a vague idea to "head north". It isn't long before a series of bizarre coincidences leads him to believe that his journey is being guided towards an ancient lake in Sweden where the Norse god Odin was once worshipped. Along the way he falls foul of the authorities, endures the wettest weather in living memory and meets a peculiar man of the forest who gives him a special gift. He discovers a modern day Sweden cau...
The Criterion
In this detailed study of literary culture in the inter-war period, Jason Harding examines the standing of T. S. Eliot's journal the Criterion in relation to other literary periodicals and, beyond that, to the larger cultural networks of the time. Through his examination of insufficiently known archive material and interviews with living witnesses to the period, Harding significantly alters our understanding of the journal and of Eliot's role as editor.
Christian Anarchism
Christian anarchism has been around for at least as long as “secular” anarchism. Leo Tolstoy is its most famous proponent, but there are many others, such as Jacques Ellul, Vernard Eller, Dave Andrews or the people associated with the Catholic Worker movement. They offer a compelling critique of the state, the church and the economy based on the New Testament.
