Mr. Book
The story of Mr. Book will transport you to the small world of Mr. Book and his two cats—all living in a tiny house surrounded by books, books of all kinds. One day, a knock on his door will lead him to change his life forever and open his mind up to the world that is outside his front door and down the road and off in the distance and with a mission—to give joy and happiness to others and to share his love of books with hundreds of kids. And still counting.
Short Stories for 'Young' Readers
This book has been published in memory of Steve Hawkes, who died in 2011, (from complications related to Multiple Sclerosis). Written by his sister Sue, proceeds from its sale will be donated to MS Charities. Sue created many of these stories 40 years ago as a way of getting her, (then) two young boys to bed and off to sleep! However, it wasn't until many years later that, persuaded by Steve's twin sister Liz and other family and friends, she committed twenty-four of these imaginative tales to paper. Her family arranged for them to be published as a complete surprise for a very 'special' birthday! These stories are suitable for reading to the very young or as independent reading for older ch...
The Candidate
Drawing on first-hand interviews with those involved in the campaign, including its most senior figures, Nunns traces the origins of Jeremy Corbyn’s remarkable ascent in British politics.
Corbyn
How Jeremy Corbyn, the radical left candidate for the Labour leadership, won twice—and won big In the 2017 general election, Jeremy Corbyn pulled off an historic upset, attracting the biggest increase in the Labour vote since 1945. It was another reversal of expectations for the mainstream media and his ‘soft-left’ detractors. Demolishing the Blairite opposition in 2015, Corbyn had already seen off an attempted coup. Now, he had shattered the government’s authority, and even Corbyn’s most vitriolic critics have been forced into stunned mea culpas. For the first time in decades, socialism is back on the agenda—and for the first time in Labour’s history, it defines the leadership...
The End of Iceland's Innocence
A portrait of Iceland through the eyes of the international media before and after their total economic collapse. In the space of a few days, one of the world's richest and most egalitarian nations, Iceland, toppled into financial chaos and sunk into an economic, ethical, moral and identity crisis. The vast empire built by Iceland's young entrepreneurs, the "new Vikings"--who had propelled the country to the top of wealth, equality and happiness charts--collapsed under the combined effect of the failure of its banks and astronomical debt (more than ten times the country's gross domestic product). Iceland became, in the midst of the global economic crisis, an icon of disaster that troubles all Western countries seeking to understand how the Scandinavian model could collapse so suddenly. In this book, Daniel Chartier traces, through thousands of articles appearing in the foreign press, the fascinating reversal of Iceland's image during the crisis. Citizens of a country now humiliated, Icelanders must deal with a number of significant issues including the quest for wealth, sovereignty, ethics, responsibility, gender and the limits of neoliberalism. Published in English.

Liturgical Hermeneutics of Sacred Scripture
The purpose of this book is to explore what a liturgical approach to the Bible looks like and what hermeneutical implications this might have: How does the liturgy celebrate, understand, and communicate Scripture? The starting point is Pope Benedict's affirmation that "a faith-filled understanding of sacred Scripture must always refer back to the liturgy" (Verbum Domini 52). The first part of the book (based on SC 24) provides significant examples to demonstrate: The liturgical order of readings intertextually combines Old Testament and New Testament readings using manifold hermeneutical principles, specifically how the psalms show the wide range of interpretations the liturgy employs. Praye...
