Two classic Doctor Who adventures, one from the 1970s and one from
the 1980s, both featuring those sinister humanoids the Cybermen. In
'Revenge of the Cybermen' (1975), the Doctor (Tom Baker), Sarah
Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry (Ian Marter) return to the space
station Nerva (from 'The Ark in Space') to recover the TARDIS. They
discover the crew decimated by a strange plague, to which Sarah
falls prey. The Doctor realises that the plague is part of a plot
by the Cybermen to destroy Voga, the planet of gold - gold being
the only thing which is lethal to them. At the same time the Vogans
are planning to destroy the Cybermen with their Skystriker rocket.
The three-part adventure 'Silver Nemesis' (1988) was made to
celebrate Dr Who's 25th anniversary. A statue, blasted into space
350 years ago, crashes into Earth in the core of a meteor. The
Doctor (Baker) and his assistant Ace (Sophie Aldred) must fight two
armies from different time periods, a regiment from 1988 and a
battallion of soldiers from 2688, whilst guarding the statue from
the clutches of the Cybermen.
About a previous book, poet Martha Collins describes Kevin Clark's
ability to move 'seamlessly' between subjects and timeframes; she
notes, 'Kevin Clark's poems perform the magic his passion dictates
and his intelligence won't quite allow.' Indeed, the reader finds
such magic, the seamless juxtaposition of incongruities in his
latest book. Take, as an example, 'In Between' from The
Consecrations, where he rocks between the 'pure matter' of 'simple
science' while watching the 'late moonlight / glow riding' his
wife's skin 'as she slept,' to the haunting call of midnight, moon,
and wind that dare the poet into the dark. What he finds in that
'in between,' the seamless place where incongruities make sense of
our existences, is sound that betrays 'belief / in only the
tactile.' He finds, consequently, an energy or power that,
'untouchable,' emanates from her as she sleeps. The ability to see
from contrary vantage points poises Kevin Clark in a place where he
can lead us to the simplest blessings. This is no forgetting, and,
in Kevin Clark's world, all things are consecrated and holy.

This is the story of Brighton's first season in the Premier League,
but not from a purely footballing perspective. `Away' captures the
6700 mile journey that myself and my 17 year old son Jacob embarked
on to attend all 19 away fixtures. Family fall outs, pre-nuptial
agreements, standing and singing like the old days, teenage angst,
the free counselling of radio phone in's, the relationship between
Father and Son and of course the eternal question, will we stay up?
`Away' also opens up the Pandora's Box of footballs biggest kept
secret - supporting 2 teams. Are you a football fan? Are you a true
football fan? Having a team isn't enough.... Do you feel physical
gut wrenching pain when your team loses? Does a last minute winning
goal render you incapable of controlling body and mind as you
spiral into an ecstasy normally only reserved for carnal pleasure
or substance abuse? Do you go AWAY...?
A new collection of art by Kevin Clark, spanning the years
2010-2012, in the pin-up/cheesecake, fantasy and erotic genres.
People of God is a brand new series of inspiring biographies for
the general reader. Each volume offers a compelling and honest
narrative of the life of an important twentieth or twenty-first
century Catholic. Some living and some now deceased, each of these
women and men have known challenges and weaknesses familiar to most
of us, but responded to them in ways that call us to our own forms
of heroism. Each of them offers a credible and concrete witness of
faith, hope, and love to people of our own day.
With the cause for his beatification reportedly moving along
rapidly now at the Vatican, this biography of a people's saint
traces the events leading up to the assassination of Archbishop
Oscar Romero at a chapel altar in San Salvador and the
reverberations of that day in El Salvador and beyond. This in-depth
look at Archbishop Romero, the pastor-defender of the poor and
great witness of the faith, offers a prism through which to view a
Catholic understanding of liberation and how to be a church of the
poor, for the poor, as Pope Francis calls us to be.
A story based on the real experiences of a girl who couldn t
read. What is school like for Jenny and other children like her,
and can she be helped? Read the heartwarming story of Jenny and her
battle with dyslexia.
This project started when Demi said to me, There s one thing I
would love to be able to do, but I know it will never happen in my
whole life, and that is to write a book. I told her about writers
who have lots of brilliant ideas but need a secretary to do the
writing. I volunteered, and Jenny Can t Read was born.
It is the story of a ten-year-old girl who is dyslexic and can t
read. The first part of the book deals with a number of related
issues, all based on true stories that Demi and other children have
told me. These include the following:
*Thinking there is something wrong with you. You are stupid.
*Dreading certain lessons and pretending to be sick.
*Having an unsympathetic teacher.
*Being bullied.
*Worrying a lot and feeling ashamed.
*Hating school.
In the second half of the book, she gets help and improves
greatly. Issues include the following: *Getting help
*Understanding dyslexia and how to improve *The effect of a
brilliant teacher
*Dealing with bullying
*Improving self-esteem and confidence
This book will offer hope and encouragement to all children who
are struggling to acquire reading and writing skills and to the
teachers and parents who work with them. I strongly recommend that
you read Jenny s story.
