Jack the Ripper: Threads
What if 'Jack the Ripper' was a cotton merchant from Liverpool? What if the diary found in 1992, purported to be James Maybrick's, is genuine? This fictional book is a psychological and circumstantial exploration of James Maybrick being history's most famous serial killer. Think you know Jack? You might want to think again. Using a mix of known facts, events and actual characters with creative fiction, you will be taken through the unravelling mind of a man overcome by darkness. He was driven by jealousy, syphilis, drug addiction, narcissism, and insecurity. You will also see the world through the victims' eyes who were brutally murdered by his hand. Did one of his family members murder him in 1889, bringing an end to the reign of terror in London's Whitechapel? "Jack the Ripper: Threads" is the debut novel of Jay Hartley and is a psychological crime thriller that will challenge everything you thought you knew about history's most famous unsolved serial murder cases.
Peg O' My Heart
Peg O' My Heart by J. Hartley Manners is an in-depth and sympathetic look at Ireland's struggle for independence against English colonial rule. Manners writes passionately about the life and adventures of Peg and her father. Excerpt: "Father Cahill breathed hard. He was a splendid type of the Irish Parish-Priest of the old school. Gifted with a vivid power of eloquence as a preacher, and a heart as tender as a woman's toward the poor and the wretched, he had been for many years idolized by the whole community of the village of M—in County Clare. But of late there was a growing feeling of discontent among the younger generation."

Fly Fishing Memories of Angling Days
J. R. Hartley's best-known catch to date is the public imagination. Here are his elusive fishing recollections told in a series of sometimes vividly comic chronological cameos, ranging period and location from York school days in the early 1930s through memorable outings on stream, spate river and loch to startling conclusion half a lifetime later on a Scottish summer night. Complimented by his protege Patrick Benson's evocative illustrations and with his anglers expertise lightly threaded throughout, J. R.'s story will touch every fly fisherman's experience. But it is book too that will appeal to everyone even those who have never held a rod, for the engaging point that emerges of the ultimate reluctant hero.

Academic Writing and Publishing
Academic Writing and Publishing will show academics (mainly in the social sciences) how to write and publish research articles. Its aim is to supply examples and brief discussions of recent work in all aspects of the area in short, sharp chapters. It should serve as a handbook for postgraduates and lecturers new to publishing. The book is written in a readable and lively personal style. The advice given is direct and based on up-to-date research that goes beyond that given in current textbooks. For example, the chapter on titles lists different kinds of titles and their purposes not discussed in other texts. The chapter on abstracts instructs the reader on writing structured abstracts from the start.
The Empty Cage
In The Empty Cage, the highly regarded Italian literary critic Carla Benedetti explores the question: What is an author? Expanding Foucault's arguments beyond literary discourse into art, film, performance, and industrial design, Benedetti maintains that the author carries out a historical function, integrally connected to the modern system of artistic production and of aesthetic evaluation. In the modern period, she says, any object can be considered a work of art, on the supposition that it has been produced by an author. Her book, far from being an attempt to reclaim authorial intention as essential, proposes an original theory that shows how the author, in the form of author-images and even logos, has become an important link in the modern system of artistic communication.
