Life of a Teenager in Wartime London
Life in wartime London evokes images of the Blitz, of air-raid shelters and rationing, of billeted soldiers and evacuated children. These are familiar, collective memories of what life was like in wartime London, yet there remains an often neglected area of our social history: what was life like for teenagers and young people living in London during the Second World War?While children were evacuated and many of their friends and family went to fight, there were many who stayed at home despite the daily threat of air raids and invasion. How did those left behind live, work and play in the nation's capital between 1939 and 1945? Using the diary entries of nineteen-year-old trainee physiotherapist Glennis 'Bunty' Leatherdale, along with other contemporary accounts, Life of a Teenager in Wartime London is a window into the life of a young person finding their way in the world. It shows how young people can cope no matter the dangers they face, be it from bombs or boys, dances or death.
Criminal Business
Who the hell gave Frankie Zanetti a bazooka? I’ve made mistakes in the past. Many of them. By far, the worst one has to be climbing into the back of a vehicle with Maine’s number one mobster. Who gets herself kidnapped twice in one evening? Either way you spin it, I’m dead. At least this way, I’ll go down, staring at the hottest Italian boss to walk the earth rather than the dirty back alley where he found me. Pelican Bay is a charming town, but I belong in Chicago. If Frankie doesn’t let me return and confess my sins, the Grandmaster will blow up the entire coast to get me home. When two mobsters go to war, everything I love may end up in a cloud of bullets and blood. Want your leading man hard on the outside, but with a heart of gold who will do anything for his girl? Grab a copy of Criminal Business and let Frankie Zanetti carry you away.

The Morning After
Since 2006, when the “morning-after pill” Plan B was first sold over the counter, sales of emergency contraceptives have soared, becoming an $80-million industry in the United States and throughout the Western world. But emergency contraception is nothing new. It has a long and often contentious history as the subject of clashes not only between medical researchers and religious groups, but also between different factions of feminist health advocates. The Morning After tells the story of emergency contraception in America from the 1960s to the present day and, more importantly, it tells the story of the women who have used it. Side-stepping simplistic readings of these women as either radical feminist trailblazers or guinea pigs for the pharmaceutical industry, medical historian Heather Munro Prescott offers a portrait of how ordinary women participated in the development and popularization of emergency contraception, bringing a groundbreaking technology into the mainstream with the potential to alter radically reproductive health practices.

Using a dramaturgic framework, the author finds that PC...
