In 1988, Adam Ford became a supporter of Tranmere Rovers, Merseyside's 'deadly submarine' of a football club. That was a great time to be a fan. In August 2014, when the Palioses first took over the club, it wasn't such a great time to be a fan. Relegation out of the Football League soon followed, and things looked desperate. But the Palioses had a plan to unleash the power of the 'Super White Army' to turn things on the pitch, off the pitch, and in underprivileged communities of Wirral. This is the story of how all that happened, and how Tranmere Rovers is now a club on the up once more. Featuring interviews with staff, former players, and - most importantly - many members of the Super White Army themselves, the book combines features on developments at Prenton Park over the last few years, with a blow-by-blow account of the incredible 2017/18 season, which saw Rovers promoted back to the football league.

This book takes the facts about Dr. John H. Holliday and breathes life back into Doc himself. The author has lived through many of the same most crucial moments as Doc; in fact, it is a name that his patients called him and still do. He is, like Doc, a Catholic. It is singularly amusing that they both have so many, many things in common, except that Pat stinks at poker most of the time. This is a very unique book. There has never been a book that tells the tale of Doc Holliday from Docs side as consistently as this, knowing the disease intimately and living with an almost identical set of symptoms. He has a chronic cough at times so severe that it results to severe pain in his intercostal (c...

The confluence of gender and theatre has long created intense debate about representation, identification, social conditioning, desire, embodiment, and lived experience. As this handbook demonstrates, from the conventions of early modern English, Chinese, Japanese and Hispanic theatres to the subversion of racialized binaries of masculinity and femininity in recent North American, African, Asian, Caribbean and European productions, the matter of gender has consistently taken centre stage. This handbook examines how critical dis...
