Lightspeed
This book tells the story of one of man's greatest intellectual adventures - how it came to be understood that light travels at a finite speed, so that when we look up at the stars we are looking back in time. From the ancient Greeks measuring the distance to the sun, to today's satellite navigation, the book offers a gripping historical journey.

Crazy Wolf
John takes you on a journey of deep compassion, sadness, hope and joy as he paints a vivid picture of the lasting impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma, healing and wisdom. Through his personal mantra of "Opportunity, Effort and Ability," we recognize his strong instinct and feel his desire to be a better human being, to be of service to others and to seek and manifest social justice. Every Native parent, schoolteacher, social worker, public health professional, tribal council member, urban Natives and anyone wishing to be trauma and healing informed should read John's story. John has been a mentor and hero of mine for decades and now even more after reading his powerful and heartfelt memoir. Crazy Wolf is a natural leader and his teachings will continue on through Crazy Wolf: A Half-Breed Story. Jillene Joseph (A'aniiih), founder and Executive Director, Native Wellness Institute
Little White Bull
Little White Bull takes a fresh look at the times before the day before yesterday, not the end times but the new beginnings, and tries to show how British fiction grappled with subjects as thorny and diverse as the impact of mass immigration and a new kind of rootless working-class character uncontained by previous conceptions of him or herself, and apparently ready to go to war over them. This exciting and readable book presents the fifties and sixties as a crucible of new departures, asking what remains and continues from those decades into the cultural present. It takes the form of a series of thematic essays each of which discusses the work of an individual or group of novelists. Writers examined in this book are Paul Ableman, Brian Aldiss, Kingsley Amis, J.G. Ballard, Lynn Reid Banks, John Berger, John Braine, Angela Carter, Nell Dunn, Gillian Freeman, Barry Hines, B.S. Johnson, Doris Lessing, Colin Macinnes, Michael Moorcock, Iris Murdoch, V.S. Naipaul, Bill Naughton, Edna O'Brien, Harold Pinter, Samuel Selvon, Alan Sillitoe, David Storey, Jack Trevor Story, Leslie Thomas, Alexander Trocchi, John Wain, Keith Waterhouse, Raymond Williams and Colin Wilson.
Next Generation Tourism

It focuses on sustainability of materials, climate issues, and development in fragile island areas where exploitation of resources are being monitored for future development. It is said that our actions impact the environment seven generations into the future. In fact the growing concern about the global impact of tourism and the associated waste produced by leisure industries is outdated. This Yale graduate advanced architecture studio analyzed the current ecological co...
