The Freedoms of Suburbia
"Suburban" is regularly used as a dismissive rather than a descriptive term, especially by architects and planners. And yet, judging by the sheer number of people who move there, suburbia must be doing something right. It is best to understand, Paul Barker writes, before rushing to condemn. Suburbs are an essential part of every city; quite often, the most vigorous and innovative part. Here, Barker leads an entertaining journey through Britain's 'burbs: a white witch living in a Croydon semi-detached; a high-rise block being razed; the hidden charms of the modern planned community of Milton Keynes; seaside bungalows and strip malls on the edge of town. With a keen eye for detail, Barker paints a humane yet provocative portrait of 21st-century living. And he throws down a gauntlet to anyone thinking about the future of cities, towns, and countryside, arguing persuasively that what is needed is less planning, not more.

Beneath Madrid
Donny, an American expat teaching English in the Madrid of the Great Recession, is a recovering addict who's spent the last ten years struggling to write a novel. To fulfill this lifelong dream, he's put everything else on hold, including his friendships, career, and starting a family with Alba, the woman who rescued him from his vices. One day, he looks out his window at a construction site and spots the remains of a water supply tunnel that dates back to the height of the Spanish Empire. The discovery becomes an obsession that eventually fuels inspiration for a new novel, one that will write itself, but he soon realizes the only way to write the story, and unblock his life, is to live it. ...
Life Class
In the Spring of 1914 a group of students at the Slade School of Art have gathered for a life-drawing class. Paul Tarrant is easily distracted by an intriguing fellow student, Elinor Brooke, but when Kit Neville � himself not long out of the Slade but already a well-known painter � makes it clear that he, too, is attracted to Elinor, Paul withdraws into a passionate affair with an artist�s model. As spring turns to summer, Paul and Elinor each reach a crisis in their relationships until finally, in the first few days of war, they turn to each other. Paul�s new life as a volunteer for the Belgian Red Cross is a world away from his days at the Slade. The longer he remains in Ypres, the greater the distance between himself and home becomes, and by the time he returns, Paul must confront the fact that life, and love, will never be the same again.
Hebden Bridge
Nestling in its narrow Pennine valley at the Brontë end of Yorkshire, Hebden Bridge is an enigma. Over the twentieth century, this small town’s industrial roots slowly dried up. But then, from the 1970s onwards, it was colonized by waves of artists, bohemians, New Age enthusiasts, media types and an increasingly affluent, left-leaning population. What makes Hebden Bridge the remarkable place it has become?Social historian Paul Barker grew up here and has a keen sense of belonging. So he is perfectly placed to chronicle and analyse both the changes and the continuities that make Hebden Bridge special. His lively, colourful portrayal mixes personal and family memories with interviews, inves...

The Triumph of Grace in Deuteronomy
Does the Old Testament have an optimistic outlook for the people of God, ancient Israel, or is it pessimistic? The strands of optimism and pessimism seem to be juxtaposed throughout. In this study of Deuteronomy, a linchpin book within the Old Testament, the so-called tensions between optimism and pessimism are shown to cohere theologically. Despite the faithlessness of Israel, Yahweh's faithfulness to his promises results in the triumph of grace.

The View from the Top
Fifteen views in England, Scotland and Wales are captured here in Paul Barker's panoramic photographs and detailed in Richard Girling's life histories. From the perpendicular thrills of the Scottish Highlands to the improbable, anti-gravitational conjuring tricks of the Norfolk Broads, Britain holds some of the most varied landscapes in the world. Maps pinpoint the sites, and instructions are given on how to reach them. Each of the panoramas is annotated to enable the viewer to read the landscape they are looking at (whether from an armchair or in the open air), and Richard Girling's text tells the story of how each landscape came to be.
