Book Description
Sally Driver knew her marriage to Paul wasn’t perfect. He’d wedded her only because he’d gotten her pregnant, and he had always been about doing the right thing. Or so Sally thought, until he died and she found a stash of steamy love letters from someone named Laura among his possessions. Sally wasn’t the only person Paul had betrayed. Todd Sloane was Paul’s best friend. Paul had shared everything with Todd, including his exasperation with his flaky trailer-trash wife. Yet Paul had never breathed a word to Todd about his illicit romance with the mysterious Laura. Sally is determined to confront the homewrecker, if only to reclaim the tacky pocket knife she’d once given Paul and he’d apparently passed along to Laura. Todd is determined to find out why Paul had kept his affair a secret from his closest buddy. But first they have to figure out who Laura is and how to find her. Although they despise each other, Sally and Todd realize their best strategy is to join forces in their search, little expecting that they might find something much more important along the way.

Book Description
As featured on the BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show. David Wilson is one of the 1sts best-known and most innovative criminologists. An insider view of the construction of a news agenda for crime and punishment. This superb read from Professor David Wilson looks at how the news agenda for crime and punishment is constructed. It also contains analysis of media stereotypes, narratives and depictions together with insights connecting these to real life. Media portrayals set the agenda for public discourse and popular debate. Academics in their ivory towers, professionals and other crime experts ignore this at the risk of seeing their more informed understandings side lined. The book builds on the authors experiences of covering high profile cases and populist issues for TV, radio, newspapers and other media. It also contains telling inside accounts of police-media relations at murder scenes in Gloucester, Soham, Whitehaven, Rothbury and Ipswich. A must in grasping the equally hot topic of Public Criminology With a Foreword by the award-winning investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre.

Book Description
2013 Speaker’s Book Award — Shortlisted Laura Secord is now famous for her singular feat of bravery during the War of 1812, but did she warn the British and help defeat the American invaders as her legend says? After dragging her injured husband off the battlefield during the War of 1812, Laura Secord (1775-1868) was forced to house American soldiers for financial support while she nursed him back to health. It was during this time that she overheard the American plan to ambush British troops at Beaver Dams. Through an outstanding act of perseverance and courage in 1813, Laura walked an astonishing 30 kilometers from her home to a British outpost to warn Lieutenant James FitzGibbon. Despite facing rough terrain, the ever-present danger of being caught by American troops, and rather delicate encounters with Native forces, Laura reached FitzGibbon just in time for the British to prepare and execute an ambush on American military nearby, forcing the U.S. general to surrender. Laura lived a very long time, dying at the age of 93. In her lifetime the government never formally recognized her singular feat of bravery, and much controversy still envelopes her legacy.

Book Description
The case of Laura (also known as Marta), a young retarded woman with a testable IQ of40, provides the opportunity to address key issues concerning the relationships between language andother mental functions as well and among the components of language use. The case shows thatlanguage can develop and function in spite of marked, pervasive cognitive deficiencies, and itprovides clinical evidence in support of the notion that language is an independent cognitiveability.Possibly the most in-depth and comprehensive study of selectively intact language done todate, this case counters claims that cognitive, social/interactive, and perceptual factors canwholly account for language acquistion and upholds the notion that language is a highly evolved,specialized human ability driven at least in part by a set of principles seen in no other cognitivedomains.Jeni Yamada presents Laura's provocative performance profile of relatively advancedlinguistic abilities alongside significantly impaired nonlinguistic skills. Laura differs from othersubjects studied in that her cognitive impairment is particularly marked. In addition, her syntacticand semantic knowledge are more dissociated than previously studied subjects. As the data on Lauraunfold, they show that language can emerge and develop despite limited nonlinguistic cognitiveabilities, including those hypothesized to be prerequisite for language or to reflect underlyingprinciples necessary for both nonlinguistic and linguistic development. In addition, the caseindicates that various components of language are separable and differentially related tononlanguage abilities.Jeni E. Yamada is coauthor with Susan Curtiss of the Curtiss-YamadaComprehensive Language Evaluation Test and is currently an independent scholar working in the Bostonarea.

Book Description
The murder of Laura Foster in 1866 has been the source of many legends and both in fiction and non-fiction it has inspired many authors. The murder, which in the end led to the conviction and execution of Thomas C. Dula, also inspired the famous song, The Ballad of Tom Dooley. In this book I go through the surviving records from the time and tell the story based on these facts, before I try to give my own explanation of what actually happened in Western North Carolina in the difficult times following the American Civil War.

Book Description
'Life with Laura'....well, what can I say? Who hasn't had a lively, mischievous daughter? But mine was hell-bent from day one to stamp her mark and wreak havoc on our world wherever she went. She constantly embarrassed us in public with her extrovert behaviour playing to the masses and wrecked shops causing chaos and leaving turmoil in her wake. Everyone said she could make a pig laugh with her antics. This compelling biography is large in content, has 35 captivating 'caught in action' photos and is based on my diaries, pictures and videos. It is driven by my love and fuelled by humour, my own emotions and by interactions with family and friends, and depicts two parents trying desperately to cope. 'Life with Laura' - enjoy the ride! 'We enter Superdrug and I pause momentarily in a small bay by the door to check my list. Big mistake! Laura leans forward from her buggy and pulls on a three-sided, picture-frame style moulding on the wall that displays an advertisement. Oh my, she is demolishing it... and I am on the wrong side to stop her. It is about 3' long with two 18" side struts. She struggles to hold the frame up above her head then bangs one side onto the floor...CRASH!! I am rooted to the spot. All goes deathly quiet and in a loud and clear voice of authority Laura turns round and tells everyone. "It's broken to pieces!" Horrified I take the rest off her and intend to place the two remaining joined pieces on the floor. No such luck...one crashes down...oops! The manager appears scowling and I limply hand him the last bit. "Sorry it's not childproof" is all I can say in her defence. Laura's captive audience is spell-bound. I hear some giggling..........'
