The persecution of witches has a long and bloody history; this
illustrated book gives a graphic account of Northampton's history
of witchcraft through the ages - from magical rites in the
prehistoric era to 1951 when the Witchcraft Act was repealed in
Britain. Christianity deemed all witchcraft as heresy and the
Church aimed to stamp it out completely. Using a variety of
documentary sources, this book unearths Northampton's witchcraft
history to give many fascinating accounts of the punishments meted
out to those accused and convicted of sorcery, as well as many
myths and superstitions, some of which are still followed today.
This book should prove a spellbinding read for anyone with an
interest in the history of Northamptonshire or anyone who simply
enjoys bewitching stories.
This book is a real find - for those who enjoy radio nostalgia but
more importantly for scholars of broadcasting. From 1947 to 1950
while listening to such voices as Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Milton
Berle, Jacl Benny, Fred Allen, and Jimmy Durante, and shows like
Fiber McGee & Molly, Amos 'n' Andy, Blondie, and You Bet Your
Life, the author was writing down jokes, gags, one-liners and
quotations. In that short time he had filled 11 spiral notebooks.
Fifty years later in a labor of love, the author painstakingly
transferred those childhood notes into this invaluable - in fact,
undoubtably unique - record of a boom time in American radio. This
is an unexpected treasure for radio scholars, who have long
lamented the lack of recordings for the majority of radio
programming. Television researchers as well will benefit - here are
root sources of television comedy. It is a revelation to find that
what we are laughing at today often was first done on radio over 50
year ago. The author has also included a notes and comments section
which includes background material on all the radio programs in
this book.
PacMan is "a one-of-a-kind ride into the one-of-a-kind life of
Manny Pacquiao."- Robert Cassidy, Newsday With his shellacking of
Antonio Margarito in November 2010, Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao became
the only boxer ever to win eight world championships in eight
different weight classes. Proclaimed the "fighter of the decade" by
ESPN and elected Congressman in the Philippines, he is an
inspiration to his countrymen. But to many, he remains an enigma.
In PacMan - named one of the best sports books of 2010 by the
Guardian - Gary Andrew Poole pulls back the curtain in an "amazing
tale of how a reed-thin Filipino, who left his home in the poorest
pocket of the Philippines ("The City of Dust") at the age of 15 . .
. became one of the most recognizable names and faces in the world"
( Dallas Morning News ). "Excellent."- Sports Illustrated
