A Man in France
Philip Ogley arrived in France in 2011 for a teaching job he didn't want. Five years later he's still here. A Man in France is a series of offbeat journal entries, short anecdotes, observational pieces and travel articles from the dark side of the wheel of camembert. A lively, philosophical insight into 21st century France through the eyes of a cheese loving, wine snorting Englishman. Informative, rich and at times quite bizarre, this is travel writing as you've never seen it before.
The Sunbed of Malcolm Todd
Influenced by 20 years of dreadful jobs, The Sunbed of Malcolm Todd is a vivid journey through the cesspit of modern life. A bold leap into the plodding twilight world of the postal depot, the chain restaurant, the retail unit, the discount store, the office space, the factory floor. Those terrifying social landscapes inhabited by dreamers, do-gooders, yes-men, romantics and the deluded. The sort of people you'd rather shoot than speak to. All here in this nomadic, zany, poignant, and at times very funny collection of short stories based on the author's own long and very ragged employment history.

John Eliot’s Mission to the Indians Before King Philip’s War
No previous work on John Eliot's mission to the Indians has told such a comprehensive and engaging story. Richard Cogley takes a dual approach: he delves deeply into Eliot's theological writings and describes the historical development of Eliot's missionary work. By relating the two, he presents fresh perspectives that challenge widely accepted assessments of the Puritan mission. Cogley incorporates Eliot's eschatology into the history of the mission, takes into account the biographies of the proselytes (the "praying Indians") and the individual histories of the Christian Indian settlements (the "praying towns"), and corrects misperceptions about the mission's role in English expansion. He also addresses other interpretive problems in Eliot's mission, such as why the Puritans postponed their evangelizing mission until 1646, why Indians accepted or rejected the mission, and whether the mission played a role in causing King Philip's War. This book makes signal contributions to New England history, Native American history, and religious studies.
