Somebody Wants Somebody Dead
Phillip Gardner's collection of stories "Somebody Wants Somebody Dead" pretty much corners the market when it comes to people living on the wrong side of the law--which is usually the "right" side of the law in these locales --and taking matters into their own hands. Throw in a garbage collecting voyeur, an obese drowning victim, a Bicycle Man, and a whole knot of ne'er-do-wells and these fantastic stories will make you think, "My life's bad, but it ain't "this" bad, " which is to say that Gardner's hit the mark in the tragi-comedy venue. George Singleton --author of "The Half-Mammals of Dixie" BOSON BOOKS also offers the screen play "Necessary Evils" and the collection of short stories "Someone To Crawl Back To" by Phillip Gardner.

Hermeneutics, History and Memory
History is the true record of an absent past. The trust between historians and their readers has always been founded upon this traditional claim. In a postmodern world, that claim and that trust have both been challenged as never before, drawing either angry or apologetic responses from historians. Hermeneutics, History and Memory answers differently. It sees the sceptical challenge as an opportunity for reflection on history’s key processes and practices, and draws upon methodological resources that are truly history’s own, but from which it has become estranged. In seeking to restore these resources, to return history to its roots, this book presents a novel contribution to topical aca...

The Lost Elementary Schools of Victorian England
Published in 1984. As late as 1870, a substantial proportion of working class pupils receiving an elementary education were attending private schools, run by the working class itself, instead of schools which were publicly sponsored. Previous studies in this area have concentrated on the latter, however, the author of this study adopts a wider approach by focusing on the relation between the working-class and education, in order to demonstrate the nature of the class-cultural conflict that existed. Two main methods of investigation are employed: the pattern of working-class responses to the official educational provision are charted and the positive traditions of independent working-class educational activity are analysed. These traditions formed a part of the foundation on which resistance to official education was based. This thoroughly researched book extends our understanding of this hitherto neglected area in the history of education.
