No More Loneliness
"No More Loneliness" transcends the traditional book categories used by retailers. Yes, it is biographical and yes, the two heroines are lesbian, but there is far more to it than this. One thing it definitely isn't is misery lit. Two girls, one abandoned as a baby and with a whole series of failed foster placements behind her - the other physically abused for years by her sadistic father - meet in a Children's Home and become friends and then lovers. Their true life stories, told in poetry and prose, will amuse, frustrate and inspire even the most cynical reader. Information on the major traumas has been kept to a minimum. The focus is far more on the daily problems faced by young people who lack parental support and for whom friendships can make the difference between success and failure or life and death.
The World of Biggles
The background to the World of Biggles makes curious reading. Many Biggles enthusiasts talked about compiling a similar book and a few even started working. None got even close to completion and it was left to me to carry out the job - essentially single-handed. Virtually everybody who saw the earlier drafts of the book appeared very supportive and most of the ideas and thoughts they shared with me have been included. If any errors remain the fault lies with me rather than with them. What is contained in the New Biggles Companion? 1) Biggles 1899 to 1945 - Part 1 covers the First World War and Biggles' service in the Royal Flying Corps. 2) Biggles 1899 to 1945 - Part 2 covers his "footloose and fancy free" life between the two world wars. 3) Biggles 1899 to 1945 - Part 3 covers his military service during the Second World War. 4) The complete who, what and when of Biggles' work in the Special Air Police. 5) An in-depth review of Biggles Second Case.
Towards a Russia of the Regions
Russia's state system has changed significantly since 1991, but the question of how the country should be governed has not been answered. Russia's constitutional framework is weak and inherently flawed, and the balance of political and economic power between the centre and the regions is ill-defined. In the absence of a firm constitutional settlement, regional elites have consolidated power, restricting the growth of local democracy and frustrating attempts at graass-roots economic reform. This book argues that establishing an effective and regulated relationship between the centre and the regions requires greater decentralisation, but devolution need not threaten Russia's integrity if it is transparent and based on a greater respect for the rule of law.
Unusual Gravestones
The authors have viewed millions of gravestones, and are offering readers a selection of the rare and unusual gravestones that they have seen, with full-colour illustrations. Each category of type of gravestone, age of person, cause of death, rare names, and errors found on gravestones are given a points score to indicate rarity.
