New Futures
Originally published in 1985. This book explores issues around education for women and uses the British experience as an example of what adult education in its variety can offer to women in breaking traditional moulds. The text raises questions about where women are, where they might be, and how education as a whole can be used by women, for women. The critique of adult education is both theoretical and useful for practice, including many case studies from areas as diverse as the education of minority women, setting up of women’s education centres, working with childminders, and courses at the Open University.
Retribution
In 1879, Taw Black, away at college in Georgia, receives word that his family's ranch in the New Mexico Territory has been raided by outlaws-and that his father has been killed. When Taw learns that his adopted brother may have been involved, he starts for home to clear his brother's name and avenge the death of his father. With no money to fund his journey, Taw must plod through the dangerous post-Civil War landscape, using any means to survive. Taw's grief transforms into hate, even as he is befriended by a riverboat gambler, a Mexican outlaw, and a band of renegade Indians. When he finally arrives home, he uncovers a master plot instigated by a gang of killers intent on not getting caught. As he takes retribution on the men responsible for his father's death, he fears that his actions are causing him to lose part of his own soul-something that becomes more daunting when he meets a special woman who could change his life forever.

Snake Prince and Other Stories
collected and retold by Edna Ledgard The people of Burma/Myanmar call it Shwe Pyidaw, the Golden Land, their fertile valley cradled in a horseshoe of mountains. When squabbling Western nations vied for control of the newly-mapped country a century ago, the local population had already lived in the mountainous land for over a millenium. Throughout those centuries, the legends and tales rooted in animist religions created a rich tapestry of spirits that underlie the later arrival of Buddhism. "Nat" spirits, dragons, winged lion-dogs, ogres, mythical galon birds, sorceresses and many more populated the land. This volume brings together 25 of the most-loved of these folk tales.
