Book Description
Yvonne Pitts explores nineteenth-century inheritance practices by focusing on testamentary capacity trials in Kentucky in which disinherited family members challenged relatives' wills, claiming the testator lacked the capacity required to write a valid will. By anchoring the study in the history of local communities and the texts of elite jurists, Pitts demonstrates that "capacity" was a term laden with legal meaning and competing communal values.

Book Description
The consequences of drug use, whether illicit or prescribed. Consequences that can be enduring, lifelong, even carry through generations. Yet few of us have the time to consider them as we live in the heat of our own daily lives. I have seen this in action, watched events while they happened, seen it unfold, lived through the results, and unfortunately am observing the ongoing calamities of it all, still today. It is not fun to watch but not mine to fix. I was and am an observer, a recorder, merely that, out of the action, incapable of altering the results. My wife made a great point on this novels subject. Drug use she said is a leveler. It brings people down the lowest common denominator. What a concept! How right on is that statement! Drugs affect the rich, the poor, the famous, and the infamous in every country and nationality on this earth. If you are on the upscale end drugs keep you there. The users life contribution to humanity is likely to be nothing, but the cost to the user, their family and friends in physical, emotional, and fiscal terms expensive and of course dangerous, because it may also kill you. I have put these observations into this novel hoping that readers can identify with the characters, watch them grow and suffer through the consequences of their actions unaware of the effect of their lives and on others.

Book Description
Charles Galton Darwin was the grandson of the great Charles Darwin and was born into the liberal and independent-minded intellectual family in 1887. He became an eminent physical scientist, but less respectably emerged as a proponent of eugenics – a science devoted to the desirability, even necessity, of improving human stock by selective breeding. He and most of the previous generation of Darwins were enthusiastic activists and leaders in the cause of eugenics – which was controversial when it was first proposed and today, after its association with Nazi atrocities, has become hugely distasteful to most people. The Chief Sea Lion’s Inheritance: Eugenics and the Darwins is the first book to scrutinise this aspect of the Darwin inheritance – examining Charles Galton Darwin and six generations of the family.Dr. Blaney’s research has placed the concept of eugenics within the context of Charles Galton Darwin’s own unique family perspective. Why did a member of a family with a reputation for enlightened and humane thought pursue a concept that was reviled from its inception? And why has this seemingly reprehensible aspect of the Darwin family been given scant attention in nearly all versions of their illustrious story?

Book Description
Stuck in a job he doesn't want - but can't afford to lose - as nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still subject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his despicable quadruplet daughters, cause him the biggest headaches... apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching the gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. But, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some headaches of her own. With Tom Sharpe's famous dark humour in full evidence, and an explosive plot which takes its readers to places they never realised they wanted to visit, The Wilt Inheritance is another instant classic from the British master of farce.
