Whaleback City is a unique anthology of poems inspired by the city of Dundee and its surroundings. In it you will find poems about the city, its history, its architecture and its landscape. There are poems spanning six centuries, capturing the spirit and temperament of its people, both celebrated and ordinary. Poets range from Sir Walter Scott and William McGonagall through to contemporary voices such as Douglas Dunn and Don Paterson. The poems themselves speak of subjects as diverse as the Tay and its bridges, the Jute industry, Liz McColgan, the People's Friend, Dens Road Market and a hundred other things that are uniquely Dundonian. Whether you love poetry or you love Dundee, this is a very special collection saluting Scotland's most industrious and enterprising city.

Documentary drama about British codebreaker and computer scientist Alan Turing. After serving as a codebreaker during World War II, Turing designed the Automatic Computing Engine and helped to develop the Manchester computers. In 1952 he was convicted of homosexual acts and to avoid going to prison he accepted a course of hormonal injections to reduce his sex drive. Two years later he was found dead and was reported to have committed suicide, though many believe it to have been accidental. The film features contributions from those who knew him and experts who explain how his work has proved significant to the development of technology, while Ed Stoppard portrays Turing in re-enactments of his conversations with psychiatrist Dr. Franz Greenbaum (Henry Goodman).
A failed suicide attempt at age eight left Ingrid with a broken arm but a healing heart. "I didn't die that day, but I wanted to. My mother had tried to sell me again," declares Ingrid Reeves, recalling her dark, desperate youth as the only white child in a mixed-race family. Ingrid lived to triumph over hate, hardship and prejudice. As a wife and mother, the contemporary pioneer woman lived without electricity for twelve years, carving out a Circle of Love sanctuary on a remote mountain in the California wilderness. For thirty years, she wore a hard hat, bravely working in a danger zone by her husband's side to build a business. Today, Ingrid invites you on an amazing journey to a land of bubble magic, beauty and rich bounty. Don your pink hard hat, dive into adventure and taste the sweet nectar of success!
