Sixteen Decades in Wallasey
Reminiscences of New Brighton and Liverpool. The constant procession of ocean-going liners up and down the Mersey was a real spectacle. Wallasey has eight miles of promenade,fringed by golden sands with children's talent contests "Joytime" in Vale Park. The Tower Grounds, rides, skating and a figure of eight. We even had a circus and a zoo. The New Palace indoor amusement park was the largest in England. Tommy Mann's miniature railway operated in the Tower Grounds next to the Promenade. Trips on the Royal Iris, the ferries and a magnificent pier. And don't forget the largest outdoor swimming pool in Europe. What a place to grow up in! It was my Disneyland and on my very own doorstep.
Fathers and Forefathers
Research on fathers and fatherhood has blossomed in recent years, focusing, for the most part, on present-day fathering experiences but also beginning to uncover hidden narratives of past fatherhood. This collection aims to add something new to this expanding field by exploring the dynamic relationship between present and past fatherhoods. The popular understanding of fathers in past generations, as being detached and uninvolved in the lives of their children, can be said to play a significant part in the construction of modern fathering identities, with ideas of “new” fatherhood being played off against notions of historical fathering practices. However, research has begun to show that ...
The Attack of the Ice Reich
Peter Smythe always thought he was more of a loser than a hero. That all changes with a high school crush, a field trip gone wrong, and a ring that he never, ever should have put on. Suddenly, Peter’s life of exceptional boredom and insignificance is transformed when he is pulled into Miria, a world on the verge of annihilation. The sister of “Cog,” the most powerful god in Miria has gone missing. Together, their combined power held back the Ice Reich—an empire of fallen gods and ice monsters—for thousands of years. Now, the Ice Reich is poised to destroy Miria. When it finishes with Miria, it will destroy everything in the Nine Realms, including Peter’s best friend, his favorite teacher, and his family if Peter and his friends aren’t up to the task. To return home, Peter must forge friendships with the most unlikely of people and master the power of his ring. As he navigates a world of gods and monsters, he and his friends must find Cog’s sister and untangle an ancient plot all before a ticking clock strikes its final hour.

To Live an Antislavery Life
In this study of antebellum African American print culture in transnational perspective, Erica L. Ball explores the relationship between antislavery discourse and the emergence of the northern black middle class. Through innovative readings of slave narratives, sermons, fiction, convention proceedings, and the advice literature printed in forums like Freedom's Journal, the North Star, and the Anglo-African Magazine, Ball demonstrates that black figures such as Susan Paul, Frederick Douglass, and Martin Delany consistently urged readers to internalize their political principles and to interpret all their personal ambitions, private familial roles, and domestic responsibilities in light of the...
