Tom is grieving for his girlfriend. Her powerful family, convinced
he is responsible for her death, place a bounty on his head. On the
run, Tom seeks refuge in the Bothy, a dilapidated moorland pub run
by ageing gangster Frank. Tom tries to keep the bounty a secret,
but news travels fast, even in the middle of nowhere. Trevor Mark
Thomas's first novel is a tense, violent drama involving desperate
characters with little to lose apart from their lives. Amid moments
of black humour and rare tenderness, buried fears and rivalries
rise to the surface, creating an atmosphere of claustrophobia that
builds to almost unbearable levels.

"Quiet Art" is the story of a little girl, Wilda, and her
persistent efforts to use art to communicate with the noisy,
impatient world around her. Everyone is telling her to be "quiet "
and she must learn, with support from her Grandma Gert, to express
herself and use the power of her own imagination to rebuild trust,
faith and family. Foster The Future, the charity initiative of the
Grammy-nominated band Foster The People, partnered with Irv's
Storytime in the summer of 2012 to create this collaborative book
using illustrations from fans across the United States. And the
cover art was designed and drawn by Foster the People drummer, Mark
Pontius. Each finished story includes a variety of illustrations
from the diverse people who participate as illustrators, and each
book Irv's Storytime publishes benefits a charity or cause. For
Quiet Art, 70% of the book's profits will benefit the Arts
Education Partnership (AEP), a national coalition dedicated to
ensuring a high quality arts education for every young person in
America. This book is a product of Irv's Storytime, an organization
that brings people together to share, illustrate and produce
collaborative stories.
In 50 Things About Us, Mark Thomas combines his trademark mix of
storytelling, stand-up, mischief and really, really well-researched
material to examine how we have come to inhabit this divided
wasteland that some of us call the United Kingdom. Based on his
latest show, 50 Things About Us, Mark picks through the myths,
historical facts and current figures of our national identities to
ask: who do we think we are?
William Castle, for instance, was a master promoter. In one scheme
involving The Tingler, Vincent Price warns in the movie that "the
only way to stop the monster is to scream. That's the signal to the
projectionist to throw the switch. Under ten or twelve seats were
some electric motors, war surplus things that Castle got a bargain
on. The motors vibrated the seat, in the hope of scaring a scream
out of someone. Just in case it didn't Castle planted someone in
the audience to get the screams rolling." This book is about
flamboyant promotion, the con artist side of the movie
world--everything the ballyhoo boys did to separate the customer
from the price of a movie ticket—Emergo, HypnoVista, 3-D, Wide
Screen, Cinemagic, Duo-Vision, Dynamation, Smell-O-Vision, plenty
more. Supporting the text are 107 photos and illustrations, some
never-before-published, and a filmography.

Walter Lippmann was arguably the most recognized and respected
political journalist of the twentieth century. His "Today and
Tomorrow" columns attracted a global readership of well over ten
million. Lippmann was the author of numerous books, including the
best-selling A Preface to Morals (1929) and U.S. Foreign Policy
(1943). His Public Opinion (1922) remains a classic text within
American political philosophy and media studies. Lippmann coined or
popularized several keywords of the twentieth century, including
"stereotype," the "Cold War," and the "Great Society." Sought out
by U.S. Presidents and by America's allies and rivals around the
world, Lippmann remained one of liberalism's most faithful
proponents and harshest critics. Yet few people then or since
encountered the "real" Walter Lippmann. That was because he kept
crucial parts of himself hiding in plain sight. His extensive
commentary on politics and diplomacy was bounded by his sense that
America had to adjust to the loss of a common faith and morality in
a "post-Christian" era. Over the course of his life, Lippmann
traded in his fame as a happy secularist for the stardom of a
grumpy Western Christian intellectual. Yet he never committed
himself to any religious system, especially his own Jewish
heritage. Walter Lippmann: American Skeptic, American Pastor
considers the role of religions in Lippmann's life and thought,
prioritizing his affirmation and rejection of Christian
nationalisms of the left and right. It also yields fresh insights
into the philosophical origins of modern American liberalism,
including liberalism's blind spots in the areas of sex, race, and
class. But most importantly, this biography highlights the
constructive power of doubt. For Lippmann, the good life in the
good society was lived in irreconcilable tension: the struggle to
be free from yet loyal to a way of life; to recognize the dangers
yet also necessity of a civil religion; and to strive for a just
and enduring world order that can never be. In the end, Lippmann
manufactured himself as the prophet of limitation for an
extravagant American Century.

Kevin Allen directs this erotic comedy adaptation of Dylan Thomas's
1954 radio play. Set in the fictional Welsh fishing village of
Llareggub, the story follows the lives and shenanigans of the
residents who share their thoughts and dreams through the medium of
poetry, including two-time widow Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard (Buddug
Verona James), the music-obsessed Organ Morgan (Aneirin Hughes),
good-time girl Polly Garter (Charlotte Church) and the old, blind
seaman Captain Cat (Rhys Ifans).
In this 1991 volume a distinguished team of international
contributors consider some of the central long-term issues raised
by the problem of income distribution. The Kuznets curve - i.e. the
notion that income distribution became increasingly unequal during
the period of industrialisation, and progressively less unequal
during the drive to maturity - lies at the centre of much of the
analysis, and its relevance is discussed in a wide-ranging series
of articles covering the British, Belgian, German, Australian,
Austrian and American experiences. This volume was the first for
many years to take such a broad, comparative approach to income
distribution, and makes an important and authoritative contribution
to an area of perennial debate.
