Famous for being a city of broad shoulders, Chicago has also
developed an international reputation for split sides and slapped
knees. Watch the "Chicago Style of Comedy" evolve from
nineteenth-century vaudeville, through the rebellious comics of the
50's, and into the improvisation and sketch that ushered in a new
millennium. Drawing on material both hilarious and profound,
Chicago Comedy: A Fairly Serious History touches on what makes
Chicago different from other cities and how that difference
produced some of the greatest minds comedy will ever know: Amos and
Andy, Jack Benny, Lenny Bruce, Del Close, John Belushi, Tina Fey,
Stephen Colbert and so many, many more.
Set back in the days WHEN DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH, this is a
hilarious picture-book about Smallasaurus, who enjoys a plant-based
diet, and Badasaurus who likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a
plant-based diet. It all begins when Smallasaurus has to think. And
thinking can be a problem when you only have a brain the size of a
walnut. Luckily, Badasaurus only has a brain the size of a peanut .
. . and so begins a hilarious game of 'cat and mouse'. It's not
long before their chasing here, there and everywhere attracts the
attention of an absolutely enormous and rather hungry meat-eating
dinosaur called Worseasaurus. A choice of two dinosaurs is just
what Worseasaurus loves for breakfast. Will she eat the small
dinosaur, with a plant-based diet?Or will she eat the great big
dinosaur, with a small-dinosaur-based diet? It doesn't take long
for her to choose. And it doesn't take long for Badasaurus to find
out. And that's how it sometimes was back in the days . . . WHEN
DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH.

Simon Armitage turns Hansel & Gretel into a darkly glittering
fairy tale for grown-ups. In vivid and trenchant language, he puts
a contemporary spin on the tale we know from the Brothers Grimm.
Here is a twenty-first century story, whose preoccupations are
poverty and hunger, war and flight, a shifting dystopian landscape
where nothing is quite as it seems. Text and illustration fuse
beautifully to summon a nightmarish vision that nonetheless
contains humour and humanity and the possibility of a more hopeful
future to come.

A powerful and accessible translation of Marcus Aurelius's timeless
book on character, what it takes to be a good leader, and how to
live a fulfilling life. Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire at
its height, yet he remained untainted by the immense wealth and
absolute power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. He knew
the secret of how to live the good life amid trying and often
catastrophic circumstances, of how to find happiness and peace when
surrounded by misery and turmoil, and how to make the right
choices--even if they are more difficult--without regard for
self-interest. Offering a vivid and fresh translation of this
important piece of ancient literature, Meditations brings Marcus's
inspiring words to life and shows his wisdom to be as relevant
today as it was in the second century. This book speaks to the soul
of anyone who has ever faced adversity or believed in a better day.

Given the recent re-evaluation of research funding policy as an
issue central to national governments and the EU, it is imperative
that underlying rationales and channels for investment in research
and development are examined. A pioneering analysis of the
complexity, allocation and management of public funding of
research, this Handbook explores the strategies whereby research
can be successfully targeted and supported to resolve problems of
broad public concern. Used effectively, the Handbook finds,
research has the potential to support economic growth, create jobs,
enhance social welfare, protect the environment and expand the
frontiers of human knowledge. Taking a multi-level approach,
chapters strategise ways to address various funding objectives
through analysis of policy design, policy instruments, research
organisations, and researchers, while remedying disparities
resulting from the distribution of research funds. The Handbook's
expansive scope, which covers variation in goals and instrument
management over time and across countries, facilitates an approach
that not only scrutinises existing paradigms of public research
funding but also looks to the future. With authoritative analysis
and theoretical frameworks by leading scholars, the Handbook
employs an interdisciplinary approach that combines sociology of
sciences, political sciences and economics. It will prove a useful
resource for scholars and researchers in science policy studies,
alongside policy analysts in ministries and research funding
organisations seeking to better understand their working
environment.

Tiny Amelia Island, in the northeast corner of Florida, was once
among the most important ports in the western hemisphere. Before
Florida was granted statehood, the island served as an
international gateway between Spanish Florida and the English
colonies that would later become the United States. Where Spanish
monks and pirates once roamed, the island eventually developed into
a significant seaport that exported the rich resources of Florida's
interior in the late 1800s. This era was known as the Golden Age of
Amelia Island and the town located on its north end, Fernandina.
The railroad that connected Amelia Island to the Gulf Coast was
largely responsible for the Golden Age, as it brought a burgeoning
economy and many of the South's most prominent and wealthy figures.
Today the island is best known as a resort community but retains
the influence and charm of its remarkable past.

Walking along the streets of downtown Greensboro today, we are
constantly reminded of those who came before us. Their names grace
the cityas street signs,
businesses, plaques, buildings, and markers, demonstrating to us
the extreme growth that has taken place in the 190-year-old history
of this, one of North Carolinaas most-loved cities. With over two
hundred rare images, many never before published, Greensboro takes
readers on a delightful journey back to the days when this small
town was transformed
from a quiet village to a thriving city referred to as both athe
denim capital of America, a because of its mill; and athe Hartford
of the South, a due to its insurance industry. Among these pages we
meet prominent citizens like the Cones, who founded a textile
empire; writer O. Henry; First Lady Dolley Madison; and the famous
Greensboro Four, who challenged segregation with their sit-in at
Woolworthas lunch counter in 1960. We also visit with everyday
people who grew up here and worked in the mills or downtown shops
and firms.
The police believed Sutcliffe was operating only in the Greater
Manchester Police, South Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire
Metropolitan Police force areas, using his car. In fact, Sutcliffe
was operating nationally and internationally, using his
employer’s lorry to commit attacks. Authors Chris Clark and Tim
Hicks have meticulously researched Sutcliffe’s crimes and reveal
many of his previously unknown victims for the first time.Â
The police failed to deliver justice for the victims’ families,
and the media has failed to hold the police to account for this
failure – both in the original investigation and in subsequent
cold-case investigations. Â Â The authors hope that by
bringing more of the facts of the case into the public domain and
by telling the victims’ stories, they can help to bring closure
for friends and relatives of victims of the Yorkshire Ripper.

friendship could become something more....
"Lady Pamela Hicks's joyously entertaining new memoir, arguably the
poshest book that ever has or will be written" ("Newsweek"), is a
privileged glimpse into the lives and loves of some of the
twentieth century's leading figures.
Pamela Mountbatten entered a remarkable family when she was born in
Madrid at the very end of the "Roaring Twenties." Daughter of the
glamorous heiress Edwina Ashley and Lord Louis Mountbatten, Pamela
spent much of her early life with her sister, nannies, and
servants--not to mention a menagerie of animals that included, at
different times, a honey bear, chameleons, a bush baby, and a
mongoose. Her parents' vast social circle included royalty, film
stars, celebrities, and politicians. Noel Coward invited Pamela to
watch him film, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. dropped in for tea.
However when war broke out Pamela and her sister were sent to New
York to live with Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, while the prime
minister appointed her father to be the last Viceroy of India. Amid
the turmoil, Pamela came of age, meeting the student leaders who
had been released from jail, working in the canteen for Allied
forces and in a clinic outside Delhi. She also developed a close
bond with Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru.
"If you are addicted to "Downton Abbey," chances are that you will
relish "Daughter of Empire," a British aristocrat's memoir of her
childhood and coming of age...She is also a keen observer of a way
of life now vanished, except on PBS" ("The Wall Street Journal").
"Not many people remain who can tell stories like Lady Pamela
Hicks" ("Vanity Fair").
