All 22 episodes from the sixth season of the popular television
series about Superman's early life. This season features a love
triangle between Clark Kent (Tom Welling), Lana Lang (Kristin
Kreuk) and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum). Characters from the
original DC Comics are also introduced, with Green Arrow as a love

Chloe (Allison Mack). Added drama comes in the shape of guest

biological father Jor-El and was sent to aide Clark in his journey.

dramatically change the shape of 'Smallville' in seasons to come.

Published as part of the Rolls Series, this genealogy is attributed
to Peter of Ickham (d. 1295), a chronicler and Benedictine monk
better known for his Latin chronicle of the Kings of England. It is
mainly an Anglo-Norman version of extracts by well-known historians
such as Geoffrey of Monmouth, Florence of Worcester, and Ralph de
Diceto. The editor, vicar and librarian John Glover (c. 1823 84),
published the original text in 1865 together with his own
facing-page translation into contemporary English. Glover's
scholarship, as well as instances of semi-Saxonised French, will
interest philologists and history students alike. The genealogy
begins with Britain's colonisation by the legendary Brutus and
covers the history of Saxon and Norman kings. It ends with a
portrait of the life and reign of Edward II.

The earliest railways were built for industrial uses, coal being
the principal commodity carried, perhaps from the pit to a dockside
or canal for onward transport. After the passenger railway came
onto the scene, industrial railways continued in operation, but
largely as separate entities. Operation within the private works
was by locomotives designed and built by the organisation
concerned, which was also responsible for their maintenance and
that of the track. This book illustrates many of the systems to be
found around Britain in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, many no longer
in existence. Traction was mostly steam, but also fireless,
electric and diesel. These were the products of Andrew Barclay,
Hunslet, Peckett and many other companies and included the wartime
Austerity 0-6-0T steam locomotives, which in post-war Britain were
often deemed surplus to requirements. A principal operator was the
National Coal Board, nationalised in 1947, which often needed to
move coal from pit head to washery before its despatch. Other users
were quarries, paper mills, breweries and so on. Another user was
the Army, notably for its Longmoor Military Railway. Other uses
were the engineering trains of British Railways and London
Underground. Not all were on standard gauge; that at Bowaters' in
Kent being a notable example. Starting with the Talyllyn in 1952,
some of the Welsh narrow gauge slate railways survived into
preservation and a few of these are represented here. With an array
of superb photographs, John Glover presents a fascinating overview
of the industrial railway scene in Britain in this period.

Examines through the use of Murid oral and written sources the
creation of an "alternative modernity" as an understanding of
historical change by Sufi notables and disciples. The Murid order,
founded in Senegal in the latter decades of the nineteenth century,
grew into a major Sufi order during the colonial period and is now
among the most recognizable of the Sufi orders in Africa. Murids
have spread the voice of Islam and Africa in concert halls and on
the airwaves through pop singers -- especially Youssou N'Dour --
and the image of Shaykh Amadu Bamba M'Backé, the founding saint of
the order, often used to grace the covers ofworks concerning Islam,
African culture, abolition, and European colonization. In this
insightful and revealing study, John Glover explores the manner in
which a Muslim society in West Africa actively created a conception
ofmodernity that reflects its own historical awareness and
identity. Drawing from Murid written and oral historical sources,
Glover carefully considers how the Murid order at the collective
and individual levels has navigated the intersection of two major
historical forces -- Islam, specifically in the contexts of reform
and mysticism, and European colonization -- and achieved in the
process an understanding of modernity not as an unwilling witness
but as anactive participant. Ultimately, Sufism and Jihad in Modern
Senegal presents the reader with a new portrait of a society that
has used its notion of modernity to adapt and incorporate further
historical changes into its identity as an African Sufi order. John
Glover is Associate Professor of History at the University of
Redlands in southern California.
