The Northern line is the most complex of the deep level tube lines,
both in its history and operation. Moving through the last 130
years, this book focuses on some of the more unusual aspects of the
story. In particular, the uncompleted wartime extensions, other
proposed extensions, the express services that once operated on the
line and the deep level shelters built in World War Two and
intended for an express tube after the war. The Northern City Line
is also be included, as well as the closed stations at locations
such as South Kentish Town and City Road. Rolling stock and depots
get a mention, along with some of the stations along the line.
Future proposals, including separating the line into two and a
possible extension to Clapham Junction are also covered. With over
120 images, this book provides brief history of the Northern line,
from the first deep level tube line opened in 1890 to the recent
extension to Battersea Power Station.
This book provides the first systematic overview of the
theoretical, empirical, clinical, and police issues related to
sexual murderers and murder. Bringing together leading researchers,
theoreticians, and practitioners from across eight different
countries, this is a truly international collaboration and an
essential reference text for students, researchers, and
professionals interested in sexual homicide, as well as an
exhaustive source of guidelines for the assessment and treatment of
sexual murderers. This book is divided into five parts: Part I,
Theories and research, presents a detailed review of theoretical
models and empirical studies of sexual homicide. Part II, Sexual
sadism, discusses theoretical, empirical, and clinical
considerations and reviews the literature on the characteristics of
sadistic sexual aggressors. Part III, Clinical issues, discusses
the assessment and management of sexual murderers at each phase of
the judicial process: at trial, during incarceration, and during
follow-up in the community. Part IV, Policing issues, discusses
research and practical issues related to police activities
surrounding a sexual murder. Topics include investigation, offender
and geographical profiling, behavioural linkage, and police
interrogation of the murderers. Part V, New directions, presents
new directions for the study of sexual homicide and discusses the
limits of current knowledge related to sexual murderers and their
crimes. Offering a broad and comprehensive approach, this Handbook
is an indispensable source of information on theory, research,
clinical assessment, treatment, and police issues related to sexual
murderers and murder.

In April 1997-98 Camilla Carr and Jon James set off as volunteers
in a GBP500 Lada stacked high with toys, games, footballs, paints
and a parachute. Their destination was Chechnya and their aim was
to work with children who had been traumatised by war. After
working for two months setting up and teaching in a rehabilitation
centre and watching the children begin to smile and play again,
they were kidnapped by Chechen guerrillas. There followed fourteen
months of incarceration in homes that varied from a concrete box
with no natural light or fresh air, to a pink trompe la oeil
bedroom via a sauna and various cellars. They experienced
everything from rape and mental torture to moments of compassion
and kindness. They survived by using tools such as tai chi, yoga,
meditation and humour; and through creating a dialogue with their
captors, looking beneath their masks of fear and anger to reach the
small flame of love and laughter unquenched by the demonising
nature of war.
The simple and lightweight construction, with minimal land
requirements, means that miniature railways can be quite ephemeral
in nature. The author, a much published writer on the miniature
railway scene, both in the UK and overseas, has put together this
collection of 37 miniature railways from around the UK which are no
longer with us. Each line has a chapter of its own, consisting of a
brief outline of the line's history and route, along with a
selection of photographs which illustrate the character of the
featured railway.
The 'Colonel Stephens' network of eccentric and impecunious light
railways have long held a fascination for railway enthusiasts,
including those too young to remember their operation. This A4
paperback album is the first in a two part series focusing on the
two of the Colonels' railways to have been preserved
(coincidentally both in Kent), by well known railway writer and
photographer Jonathan James. This first volume looks at the East
Kent Railway, based a few miles to the north of Dover, and
showcases what the volunteers there have achieved in their
rebuilding efforts.
The world is alive with magic and other such things of fantasy,
true or not, of now and then, both far away and near. We need to
simply reach out and touch it to be in the world of Jonathan J. and
a black cat named Toby Lynn Alexander St. George Derbyshire Morgan
McPhee. Toby is a cat, who is "more than that," says Jonathan J.
Toby knows more than you or me, acting as a reminder of what might
be real and what we make up and pretend is real in our "not so
ordinary" lives. Meant to be read aloud to a child or quietly to
ourselves, these poems and pictures of nonsense and fantasy are for
all ages of people who don't measure their age in years, but
measure their youthfulness with the amount of delight and wonder
they continue to find in their lives. May these poems and pictures
age with you as you grow young.
The 'Colonel Stephens' network of eccentric and impecunious light

softback album is the second in a two part series focussing on the
two of the Colonels' railways to have been preserved
(coincidentally both in Kent), by well known railway writer and
photographer Jonathan James. This second volume looks at the long
established Kent & East Sussex Railway, and showcases the
unique character and charm of this popular heritage railway.
