Shortlisted for the RSL Christopher Bland Prize 2021 'Rarely has
family history been so vivid' JENNY UGLOW 'An extraordinarily
original work' AMANDA FOREMAN Like many well-to-do Georgian
families, the Atkinsons' wealth was acquired at a terrible cost,
through the labour and lives of enslaved Africans. Drawing on his
ancestors' private correspondence, Richard Atkinson pieces together
their unsettling story, from the weather-beaten house in Cumbria
where they once lived to the ruins of their sugar estates in
Jamaica. This extraordinarily original work of detective biography
is also a uniquely personal account of one of the most disturbing
chapters in Britain's colonial past.
All of time and space...where do you want to start? Governed by
Time Lord technology, the TARDIS Type Forty is the most powerful
craft in the universe and this comprehensive fully illustrated
manual holds the key to its operation. The appearance of the
Doctor's TARDIS, both inside and out, has changed many times over
the years, and this manual features every incarnation - including
the latest version for the Thirteenth Doctor. The manual covers the
console with fully labelled detailed schematic diagrams for each
function, the ship's famous chameleon circuit, as well as
floorplans, specifics of dematerialisation, the use of force fields
and tractor beams and much more. Complete with case studies of the
wonder-craft in action, taken from the TARDIS's many trips through
space and time, this manual is an essential guide to the wonders of
the Whoniverse.

Know your enemy. The Daleks are the most evil creatures ever

universe. The Dalek Combat Training Manual collates intelligence
gathered by Time Lords over centuries of raging wars through time
and space, and is invaluable to anyone engaging the Daleks in
battle. It furnishes the user with an in-depth guide to their
construction, their strategies and how they are to be ultimately
defeated. Discover full schematics of Dalek spacecraft, insights
into the Dalek factions, a history of the Time War, detailed
analysis of their creator Davros, and much more. This manual is the
definitive guide to one of the most feared races in the Whoniverse.
A sober memoir that provides a solid understanding of how crime is
situated in structural, cultural, historical, and situational
contexts. This is the life story of Ricky Atkinson, leader of the
Dirty Tricks Gang, who grew up fast and hard in one of Toronto's
toughest neighborhoods during the social ferment of the Sixties,
during the fledgling Black Power Movement in Canada. His life was
made all the more difficult coming from a black, white and
aboriginal mixed family. Under his leadership, the gang eventually
robbed more banks and pulled off so many jobs, that it is unrivaled
in Canadian history. Follow him from the mean streets to backroom
plotting, to jail and back again as he learns the hard lessons of
leadership, courage and betrayal. Today, after reconciling his past
and life, he works to educate youth and people from all backgrounds
about the no-win choice of being a criminal.
