Para Handy has been sailing his way into the affections of
generations of Scots since he first weighed anchor in the pages of
the Glasgow Evening News in 1905. The master mariner and his crew -
Dougie the mate, Macphail the engineer, Sunny Jim and the Tar - all
play their part in evoking the irresistible atmosphere of a bygone
age when puffers sailed between West Highland ports and the great
city of Glasgow. This definitive edition contains all three
collections published in the author's lifetime, as well as those
that were unpublished and a new story which was discovered in 2001.
Extensive notes accompany each story, providing fascinating
insights into colloquialisms, place-names and historical events.
This volume also includes a wealth of contemporary photographs,
depicting the harbours, steamers and puffers from the age of the
Vital Spark.

Sexy Like Us: Disability, Humor, and Sexuality takes a humorous,
intimate approach to disability through the stories, jokes,
performances, and other creative expressions of people with
disabilities. Author Teresa Milbrodt explores why individuals can
laugh at their leglessness, find stoma bags sexual, discover
intimacy in scars, and flaunt their fragility in ways both
hilarious and serious. Their creative and comic acts crash,
collide, and collaborate with perceptions of disability in
literature and dominant culture, allowing people with disabilities
to shape political disability identity and disability pride, call
attention to social inequalities, and poke back at ableist cultural
norms. This book also discusses how the ambivalent nature of comedy
has led to debates within disability communities about when it is
acceptable to joke, who has permission to joke, and which jokes
should be used inside and outside a community's inner circle.
Joking may be difficult when considering aspects of disability that
involve physical or emotional pain and struggles to adapt to new
forms of embodiment. At the same time, people with disabilities can
use humor to expand the definitions of disability and sexuality.
They can help others with disabilities assert themselves as sexy
and sexual. And they can question social norms and stigmas around
bodies in ways that open up journeys of being, not just for
individuals who consider themselves disabled, but for all people.
