Weapons of mass destruction are the greatest threat to national
security in the 21st century: this book explains what it takes for
a rogue state or terrorist group to obtain and use them.
Edie finds the world around her increasingly difficult to
comprehend. Words are no longer at her beck and call, old friends
won't mind their own business and workmen have appeared in the
neighbouring fields, preparing to obliterate the landscape she has
known all her life. Rattling around in an old farmhouse on the
cliffs, she's beginning to run out of excuses to stop do-gooders
interfering when one day she finds an uninvited guest in the barn
and is thrown back into the past. Jonah has finally made it to
England - where everything, he's been told, will be better. But the
journey was fraught with danger, and many of his fellow travellers
didn't make it. Sights firmly set on London, but unsure which way
to turn, he is unprepared for what happens when he breaks into
Edie's barn. Haunted by the prospect of being locked away and
unable to trust anyone else, the elderly woman stubbornly battling
dementia and the traumatised illegal immigrant find solace in an
unlikely companionship that helps them make sense of their worlds
even as they struggle to understand each other. Crossing Over is a
delicately spun tale that celebrates compassion and considers the
transcendent language of humanity.

This book examines a range of visual expressions of Black Power
across American art and popular culture from 1965 through 1972. It
begins with case studies of artist groups, including Spiral, OBAC
and AfriCOBRA, who began questioning Western aesthetic traditions
and created work that honored leaders, affirmed African American
culture, and embraced an African lineage. Also showcased is an
Oakland Museum exhibition of 1968 called "New Perspectives in Black
Art," as a way to consider if Black Panther Party activities in the
neighborhood might have impacted local artists' work. The
concluding chapters concentrate on the relationship between
selected Black Panther Party members and visual culture, focusing
on how they were covered by the mainstream press, and how they
self-represented to promote Party doctrine and agendas.
As gripping as Room, as powerful as Elizabeth is Missing, Beside
Myself is the story of twin sisters, a childhood game with
devastating consequences and the slippery nature of identity Helen
and Ellie are identical twins - like two peas in a pod, everyone
says. The girls know this isn't true, though: Helen is the leader
and Ellie the follower. Until they decide to swap places: just for
fun, and just for one day. But Ellie refuses to swap back... And so
begins a nightmare from which Helen cannot wake up. Her toys, her
clothes, her friends, her glowing record at school, the favour of
her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone to a
sister who blossoms in the approval that used to belong to Helen.
And as the years pass, she loses not only her memory of that day
but also herself - until eventually only 'Smudge' is left.
Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the
blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister's dangerous
orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she
resist? Beside Myself is a compulsive and darkly brilliant
psychological drama about family and identity - what makes us who
we are and how very fragile it can be.
