Vacation Rules
Vacation Rules explores the psychology of vacations and the effects they have on our emotions and well-being. The authors use the PERMA model of positive psychology to propose 36 “rules” to assist readers plan and enjoy their vacations better. It suggests that rather than concentrating on the mechanics of travel—who we fly with, where we stay, which car we rent, which tour we take—we should first consider exactly why we want to go on vacation, what our current state of mind is, who we are traveling with, how we manage expectations and interruptions, and other issues of a strategic nature. From the first rule, "Vacation more, live longer" to the last, "Accept your fate", Vacation Rules offers advice that impacts directly on everyday vacation issues and decisions. It provides insight into the importance of autonomy and why being in control of your day to day activities, rather than being completely guided by a travel companion or a guidebook, is so important to achieving happiness.
Love and Grief During the Riots and War
This novel 'Love and Grief' narrates the effect which the harsh and oppressive social and economic conditions of the 1920's and, 1930's, had on the working class in Barbados. It details the events which led the workers to riot to show how aggrieved they had become by the conditions they had to endure. The novel emphasizes how the conditions strained relationships in a fictional family i.e. The Wards. Mr. Ward made a remark which indiscretely questioned the dispensing of justice to a rioter.

The Making of England
During the tenth century England began to emerge as a distinct country with an identity that was both part of yet separate from 'Christendom'. The reigns of Athelstan, Edgar and Ethelred witnessed the emergence of many key institutions: the formation of towns on modern street plans; an efficient administration; and a serviceable system of tax. Mark Atherton here shows how the stories, legends, biographies and chronicles of Anglo-Saxon England reflected both this exciting time of innovation as well as the myriad lives, loves and hates of the people who wrote them. He demonstrates, too, that this was a nation coming of age, ahead of its time in its use not of the Book-Latin used elsewhere in Europe, but of a narrative Old English prose devised for law and practical governance of the nation-state, for prayer and preaching, and above all for exploring a rich and daring new literature. This prose was unique, but until now it has been neglected for the poetry. Bringing a volatile age to vivid and muscular life, Atherton argues that it was the vernacular of Alfred the Great, as much as Viking war, that truly forged the nation.
