White Male Heart
Deep in the remote wilderness of the Scottish Highlands, two lifelong friends--Aaron and Hugh--find themselves at a crossroads in their relationship with their isolated community and their friendship, after the arrival of a stranger drives an emotional wedge between them.
Wide Eyed
A picture-postcard fishing village at the southernmost tip of Scotland appears to be the perfect place for Betsy Gillander to abscond for a few days with her fianc'. There, in a landscape marred only by a vast MoD range away to the west, the pale winter sun lights up this next step in the young woman's happy and structured life. But the light fades when a violent storm wraps itself around the village. For three days, the couple are trapped in their hotel room. Enforced intimacy widens Betsy's eyes to the indolent cruelty of the man she's agreed to marry, while in the bar, the villagers grow increasingly fearful for a boat caught out at sea. By the time the sun reappears, Betsy has dismissed ...
White Male Heart
An extraordinarily powerful and critically acclaimed debut - Val McDermid called it 'brutal and beautiful' - to compare to such classics as Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory. In the magnificent wilderness that is the Scottish Highlands, Aaron and Hugh have been friends for as long as they can remember, bound by a shared affinity for their surroundings and an increasing sense of alienation from the remote, close-knit community that is their home. But when a young woman - fleeing life in the city and a broken love affair - moves to the area, the ties that bind the boys are slowly, irrevocably stretched to near-breaking point. And as the strain on Aaron and Hugh's friendship builds, so the violence that is endemic in the land begins to infect them both. Driven to the very edge of reason, they turn on their world to vent their frustration and anger and hurt in the only way they know, embarking on a spree of quite horrific destruction...
Sharing the Dream
States that White males matter very much to discussions of race, ethnicity, and gender in the US due to their numbers and the influence they wield. This book explores the heterogeneity of white male America, taking into account such factors as age, ethnicity, ideology, social class, regional background, occupational status, and sexual orientation.
Dark Actors
One July afternoon in 2003, in a quiet part of Oxfordshire, a scientist went out for a walk and never came back. Dr David Kelly had been all over the news in the preceding days; as an investigator on the team which went into Iraq to check whether they had weapons of mass destruction, he had been accused of anonymously briefing a BBC reporter that the government's case for the Iraq War had been deliberately falsified. When the news came through that his body had been found in woods near his country home, for the briefest of moments, a stunned Britain held its breath and wondered if this was what it had come to. Our intelligence services were already collaborating in the torture of British cit...
Agent Zigzag
A gripping tale of loyalty, love, treachery, espionage, and the thin and shifting line between fidelity and betrayal.
The Believer
The author of the instant fishing classic The Optimist wades into deeper waters and shares new wisdom, humor, and experience in seven extraordinary fly-fishing expeditions that mark one year in his journey through the middle part of life when worldly demands increase even as fishing continues to beckon—and must be pursued. In David Coggins’s previous book, The Optimist, he tackles the techniques of fly fishing and meditates on its virtues, recounting his triumphs and frustrations. Now, in The Believer, he deftly mixes travel, local cultures, further fishing challenges (some knee-buckling in their disappointment), and details his own experience as life and love crowd his time to fish. Sel...

This book highlights the predicament of teachers in widely differing locations and situations.
The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Ballet
"Nearly four hundred and fifty years in, ballet still resonates-though the stages have become international, and the dancers, athletes far removed from noble amateurs. While vibrations from the form's beginnings clearly resound, much has transformed. Nowadays ballet dancers aspire to work across disciplines with choreographers who value a myriad of abilities. Dance theorists and historians make known possibilities and polemics in lieu of notating dances verbatim, and critics do the daily work of recording performance histories and interviewing artists. Ideas circulate, questions arise, and discussions about how to resist ballet's outmoded traditions take precedence. In the dance community, c...
