Why Peacocks?
Until Flynn’s neighbor in North Carolina offered him one, he had never considered whether he wanted a peacock. His family became the owners of not one but three charming yet fickle birds: Carl, Ethel, and Mr. Pickle. Here he chronicles their first year as peacock owners, from struggling to build a pen to assisting the local bird doctor in surgery to triumphantly watching a peahen lay her first egg. He also examines the history of peacocks, from their appearance in the Garden of Eden. And Flynn travels across the globe to learn more about the birds firsthand. His book offers surprising lessons about love, grief, fatherhood, and family. -- adapted from jacket.

Sean O'Casey
Christopher Murray's work on Sean O'Casey is a critical biography. In addition to the normal biographical elements, Dr Murray provides a strong interpretative context for the life. For example, he looks afresh at the Dublin of the 1880s and 1890s in order to provide an updated background to O'Casey's childhood. He pays a great deal of attention to the political situation from 1880 to 1922, setting it against O'Casey's own treatment in his six volumes of autobiography. In general he attempts to establish O'Casey's Ireland.This leads naturally to a fresh examination of the great Dublin trilogy, The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock and The Plough and the Stars, the three works on which O'Casey's reputation stands. The rejection of his next play, The Silver Tassie, by the Abbey Theatre precipitated O'Casey's move to England.
Bound to the Union
It is December 10th, 1862 as Leigh Calvert bids goodbye to her father, Colonel William Calvert of Calvert's Legion who is on his way to fight alongside General Lee against the Union army at Fredericksburg, Virginia. But what he and her precocious twelve-year old nephew Thomas do not know is that Leigh is really a Union sympathizer and when she finds a badly wounded Union officer dying in her barn, she must struggle to keep his presence a secret from her father, his men and her Yankee-hating family who have returned home to take shelter at the Calvert Plantation. But the officer has a story of his own to tell. British-born Captain James Merrill has lived a lonely and loveless life among his father's aristocratic family in England. How he comes to be at the Calvert Plantation makes for one of the most unusual tales of the American Civil War.

Leeds Then and Now
The centre of Leeds is the wide thoroughfare of Briggate and it has been since at least 1207 when the path northwards from the crossing over the River Aire – literally the bridge gate – was established. As with most settlements, Leeds started out as dwellings next to the water. The first mention of Leeds was made by the scholarly monk The Venerable Bede in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People of 731 AD when he referred to the region of Loidis, but he was scant on details. The modern Leeds is a product of the Industrial Revolution, a great Victorian northern industrial city shaped by the manufacturing boom that began in the late 18th century and employed thousands of people fo...
