Book Description
In the winter of 1948, a poorly educated jack-of-all-trades moved his ever- increasing family to a small vegetable crops' farm on the Darling Downs, in Queensland. They arrived in a horse and wagon to begin an extraordinary life of hardship and challenge in the bush. This book follows the harsh life of poverty that is eclipsed by the threads of dry humour, love and warmth that embraces a large closely-knit family. The living conditions endured are almost primitive, even for the nineteen fifties, as they fight to carve an existence from the land. His father's lingering fight with lung cancer compounds the pain of his own battle, as a National Service Soldier in the Vietnam War. The accounts of the war are graphic and poignant, and could only emerge from one who has experienced the frightening reality of combat. Highlighted through the suffering and dreams is a mother's undying devotion to her family, as she struggles to raise them, more or less on her own.

“The victims weren’t random. These weren’t crimes of opportunity. The kids were chosen. Chloe was chosen.” Tim McAndrews, a top prosecutor in Seattle, knows a self-defense shooting has unjustly tarnished his near-perfect conviction record. Because of it, he fears his career as an assistant district attorney is doomed to go nowhere. But legendary FBI Profiler Elias Cain has offered Tim a job with his team. So as he weighs his options for the future, Tim takes a much-needed ski vacation with his wife and friends to Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort. A young girl is abducted in front of the resort, and Tim is drawn into the intrigue. When at the Sheriff’s Office, he runs into Elias Cain and learns this girl isn’t the only child in danger. The rainbow-colored duct tape Tim found in the snow may be the one clue that ties many child kidnapping cases together. The Seattle DA agrees to loan Tim to the FBI and Elias Cain’s profiling team. As their investigation unfolds, they realize they are chasing down a child trafficking ring that’s like an octopus with tentacles reaching everywhere. To take down this monster, Tim must put his life on the line.

Book Description
This is this story of Eamon, a little boy growing up in Northern Ireland in the sixties, before he succumbed to Leukaemia, a few months short of his seventh birthday. The book describes specific aspects of his short but remarkable life, all written from his perspective. Each chapter has a footnote which charts the history of the conquest of childhood leukaemia which commenced during his lifetime. The book is based around actual events and things which Eamon said and did which have been passed down. Eamon has the benefit of perspective, so he can describe events that have yet to happen which have a bearing on the life of his family.

Book Description
Comme pour l'anglais du XXe siècle finissant, la Ville - qu'il s'agisse de Londres ou des cités industrielles du Nord - était pour les sujets de la reine Victoria à la fois un paradis et un enfer. Peu d'écrivains de l'époque l'ont méconnue; ils ont, selon leur culture, leur sensibilité, leur tempérament, réagi de façons contradictoires à un phénomène d'une ampleur sans précédent, qui a été, et demeure, au centre des débats politiques et sociaux. Les essais contenus dans ce volume reflètent la variété des attitudes victoriennes envers l'urbanisation. Ils évoquent les dures réalités de la misère et de la corruption, les conclusions des enquêtes menées dans un labyrinth où trouvaient place aussi bien la criminalité qu'une culture nouvelle; mais ils montrent aussi la magie de la ville, "douce cité d'illusion, de mythes, d'aspirations et de cauchemars", qui, selon Jonathan Raban, est aussi réelle, sinon plus, que la cité perceptible dans les statistiques et les études des sociologues, des démographes et des architectes. Les principaux auteurs traités sont Charles Kingsley, John Ruskin, Frederic Harrison, George Gissing, Arthur Morrison et Rudyard Kipling. Les six essais qui leur sont consacrés sont précédés d'un essai plus général écrit par un spécialiste reconnu de la civilisation urbaine britannique. L'ensemble entend apporter un complément original aux études parues sur la question en Angleterre depuis une douzaine d'années. Il reflète l'ambiguïté des jugements humains devant un phénomène tangible, émminemment analysable, dont procèdent de multiples visions subjectives et substantielles.
