We had Dreams and Songs to Sing
A book born out of a once in a lifetime trip to Istanbul. Follow one mans life bound by his passion for Liverpool FC. Watch the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters unfold in front of his very eyes, and see how Istanbul heralds an end to his old life and a start to his new life. The journey takes in the football fields of Europe and a brief sojourn into the professional game. The story is true and mirrors that of thousands of normal football fans. There is a piece of every one of you in his story! This is what Tony Evans, Football Editor at 'The Times' had to say about this book: “Rarely has a book shown how interwoven football is into the fabric of everyday life. A superb illustration of why the game matters and why it’s important not to surrender the sport to the profiteers and corporate con-men... We Had Dreams and Songs to Sing shows that football still matters and, more importantly, it shows why it matters”.
Spain
This volume assesses the evolution of Spain's external relations during the 1990s, within and beyond Europe, and assesses the principal challenges facing the country at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The coincidence of several crucial global and European developments has had a profound effect on Spain. Adjustment of the economy and changes in foreign policy perspectives have become unavoidable. In turn, Spain, as an increasingly self-confident member of the EU, has itself become a significant actor in European-level developments. Spain's relationship with Europe and the wider world is increasingly balanced between new constraints and new opportunities for international influence.
The Si Peterson Story
A tale of miracles and hope, The Si Peterson Story recounts the extraordinary life of Frank Siedel Peterson (Si), a young, vibrant sixteen-year-old who fell from a high bar while doing gymnastics, and broke his neck. Instantly and totally paralyzed from his chin down, Si spent the next eighteen years of his life as a quadriplegic. Narrated by his devoted mother, Si’s journey is a beautiful example of a life lived with courage, faith, and complete trust in the Heavenly Father’s will. The Si Peterson Story leaves its reader inspired and strengthened by the legacy of Si’s unbreakable faith.
